Flame red

That night Mu Yu called.

At that time, Yanhong was doing her homework when her phone vibrated suddenly. She glanced at the caller ID and was so frightened that she almost dropped her homework book on the ground. She grabbed the phone and ran to the living room to hand it to the snake woman. the door.

The soundproofing of the house is not very good, so Yanhong could hear whispers coming from the snake woman's room one after another, but the voice was still too low, she couldn't hear what was said in the end.

Jian Xiangli let out a long huff after hearing what Yan Hong said that day, and seemed to be in distress.He later told her that it didn't look like an ordinary monster, and according to Yan Hong's observation, there were no other types around Mu Yu except for the black mist and the centipede seen today.On the contrary, ghosts seem to gather a lot.

And the fact that the black mist has all formed centipedes in the bookstore also puzzles the exorcist.If it is a monster that is good at changing, why do they all have to appear in the form of centipedes?

Yan Hong, who was still clueless, felt a little lost.

"Although I can't think of any solution, at least I have added a few issues that can be investigated." Jian Xiangli comforted her in the end.

centipede.Why is it a centipede?

Yan Hong poked the draft paper with a signature pen, frowning in thought.Not long after, I heard the door being knocked twice, and then it was opened.

The snake lady walked into her room with the phone in her hand, the expression on her face was still so calm that there was no wave. "Mu Yu asked you to go out and meet."

"...What?" Some couldn't believe their ears, when Yan Hong was stunned, the snake woman had already stepped forward and wrote down a string of addresses on her draft paper.

"Go now, tomorrow she will go to the second place to hold an autograph session." Returning the phone to Yanhong, the snake woman turned around and went back to the living room, but the door was not closed, and the fruity aroma in the living room swayed. Little by little it floated into the room.

The homework is only half done, but the snake lady said east, and Yanhong would not go west.So she picked up the keys in a hurry, put on her shoes and ran out of the house.

The streets at night are still filled with suffocating heat waves that have not dissipated during the day, and the street lamps are like dim yellow suns, stretching in all directions, messy like sparks splashing out of a boiler in winter, but they will not be extinguished suddenly.

Yanhong was walking on the sparsely populated streets, step by step along the track that she spent her time day and night, and occasionally she could hear the cries of children from nowhere.

Homeless lonely souls wandered on the streets and at the end of the street, staring at the street lamps in a daze.

The address Mu Yu specified was a bookstore that Yan Hong didn't go to very often.She only patronized it a few times before because she wanted to buy exercise books. The second floor is full of historical books and philosophy books. Although few people patronize, there are quite a few young couples who come here to fall in love.

Now that I went back to the second floor of this bookstore again, I found that the number of young couples who came here to fall in love was also increasing. Pushed hard and slipped into the corner.

The bookshelves are full of philosophy books whose names make Yanhong uninterested.After a few years, she didn't know if she had changed. She looked around and felt a sense of revisiting the old place in her heart.

Mu Yu hasn't arrived yet.It is estimated that it will not be an easy task to come out at this time.Yanhong decided to find a book to pass the time while waiting.

She randomly pulled out a philosophy book, sat on the floor and read it.

Unexpectedly, this reading was unexpectedly serious, and I read two chapters in a row without distraction. Although I couldn't remember anything, I felt that I didn't waste my time in vain.

In the end, Yan Hong didn't raise her head until she found a faint shadow cast on the yellowed pages.

Mu Yu was wearing a black baseball cap, a very ordinary black hoodie, and black jeans, so that she really appeared in front of her in black.

No makeup, black hair hanging on her shoulders, and a pair of light-colored eyes that are so indifferent that it is almost difficult to feel emotions.However, even if it is so ordinary and unkempt, it is still beautiful that cannot be concealed.

Yan Hong stayed where she was.

It's not because the other party is too beautiful, but because I don't know what to say, so I can't say "read a book together", right?

Thinking about it, she still knew that she shouldn't be sitting on the ground like this, she stood up and put the book in her hand back on the shelf, then raised her head to look at the tall and slender Mu Yu.

"So." Yan Hong blinked in embarrassment, turned her head and looked around, as she expected, the originally clean study room on the second floor is now gradually gathering black mist, and the shape of the mist is also changing. It's a centipede.She forced herself to focus on Mu Yu. "What happened, snake... did your grandmother tell you?"

Mu Yu hummed lightly. "I roughly said that there are bad things around me, right?"

Yan Hong nodded vigorously like pounding garlic.Seeing that Mu Yu can be so calm, there is no need to worry that the other party will have difficulty accepting the reality and collapse.But what did the snake woman say that made this young woman accept the status quo so easily?

"And then?" Afterwards, Mu Yu tilted his head and asked again.

"Then?" Yan Hong was taken aback.

Mu Yu raised his eyebrows. "Did you see anything at the autograph session today?"

A very thick centipede.Yan Hong struggled in her heart, but finally she just shook her head. "It's better for your health not to know."

The big star let out an oh, and didn't ask any further questions, as if his curiosity about it hadn't reached the point where he had to ask for an answer.After a while of awkward silence, Mu Yu looked at Yanhong again. "Grandma said you can do it?"

It can't be said that it doesn't exist now, Yan Hong nodded. "By the way, do you remember eating any strange things before? For example, unnamed herbs?"

"I don't even know the names of the ingredients in Chinese medicine." Mu Yu shrugged.

"... When did luck suddenly turn so good?"

"I'm lucky?"

This person doesn't know the true face of Lushan Mountain because he is in this mountain, and he is not aware of the changes in the state around him. It seems that he can't expect to find any clues from it.Yan Hong rubbed her eyebrows.

But Mu Yu over there understood her intention. "This thing happened because of something, right?"

Yanhong hesitated for a moment. "Probably? Then do you think it has always been smooth sailing?"

"I don't think I'll remember if you change the question." Mu Yu still shook his head confidently.But then he didn't intend to let her perfuse her last question. "Then what is that thing?"

It's like a hot pursuit.Yan Hong didn't have an answer in her heart, she could only blink and wander around. "It's been so smooth since debut?"

"Yes. Then shouldn't I, as the person involved, know what that is?"

If it has been smooth sailing since his debut, there is no turning point that can be used as a reference point, so it is even more unclear whether Mu Yu is really blessed like this, or because of something.

Yan Hong thought about it in her heart, and at the same time found that while she was perfunctorily avoiding it, the other party was like a black leopard clinging on tightly.She raised her head, and found that pair of light-colored pupils were staring at her closely, and the height difference of almost a head made Yan Hong feel more and more oppressive.

"So many people don't care about these bad things, and they only pester you. I think it's probably because you have something different." You can't escape, and as Mu Yu said, as the person involved, you should really understand the situation. Yan Hong raised her hand and surrendered. "For example, what kind of medicine can make people lucky if they eat it, but there is no conclusion yet, it's all speculation."

Mu Yu looked at her fixedly, the pressure in his eyes was slightly less, but it still didn't dissipate.Then she nodded, then raised her eyebrows again. "That kind of thing will bring me good luck?"

"Probably?" Yan Hong still answered uncertainly.

"But even if I am lucky, it will also attract various dangers, won't it?"

"Perhaps it is essentially something that is too good for either party, so whoever gets it will feel distressed."

Yan Hong told the truth, in fact, she was thinking along with the trend in her heart at the time.After being quiet for a few seconds, Mu Yu nodded in approval, as if he was thinking about the meaning of her words.

Then the woman who restrained the oppression a little bit asked again: "Is there any way?" So I went around and returned to the main question.

"First of all, I need to know if anything special happened to you before..." Yan Hong replied.

Mu Yu said: "What if I really can't remember?"

"The only temporary solution is for me to help you get rid of those things."

"How to catch up?"

"...with blood."

As if he said something very ridiculous, after Yan Hong finished speaking, Mu Yu lowered his head and let out a laugh, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Thinking that she thought she was joking, Yan Hong hurriedly emphasized. "I was serious."

Mu Yu raised his hand to make her whisper a little, then turned his head and looked around, those young couples who were seriously in love hadn't noticed them yet.

Her eyes returned to Yan Hong. "I see." He sighed, but still shook his head. "Treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

Yan Hong was a little annoyed by Mu Yu's nonchalant words, she wanted to bleed to protect her, and acted like it had nothing to do with her.But in the end, she silently suppressed her complaints and asked the other party, "Then what do you think of?"

The big star was silent for a while, blinked, and suddenly asked: "If something really caused it, can it be fixed?"

"Get it out?" Yan Hong frowned. "If you are really lucky because of that thing, shouldn't you consider making good use of it to make a career?"

Mu Yu probably endured it for a long time, but at this moment he finally gave her a supercilious look. "For a mortal like me, even getting such good luck is already troublesome in another sense."

Yan Hong let out a cry, and after thinking about it, she seemed unable to refute it, so she nodded hesitantly. "Okay, I'll see if this method works...as long as it's on this premise."

Anyway, no matter what the process is, as long as the ending is happy and the snake mother can explain, Mu Yu will not interfere too much in choosing Yanhong.

Mu Yu didn't ask any other questions, but glanced at the time on the phone. "I have to catch a flight tomorrow. If you have any clues, please call me in the future. You know the number, and I will tell you what I think of."

Sneaking out at night avoiding all kinds of reporters is not an easy task, and as a popular star, she is also busy with her schedule, so Yan Hong nodded in agreement.Now even if she wants to talk about something, she has nothing to talk about. After roughly conveying the situation to Mu Yu, the task at this stage can be called the end.

But after some hesitation, Yan Hong still said to Mu Yu: "If there is anything... just tell me..."

The other party smiled again. "I don't think it's useful."

——It's just a news report.Naturally, it is impossible for Yan Hong to rush to Mu Yu's side immediately, regardless of the inconvenience, this idea itself is not realistic.

but.

She scratched her forehead hair without compromising or asking for anything again.

And Mu Yu lowered the brim of his hat to leave, but paused when he turned around.Sighed. "Anyway, I'll try my best."

It was a promise and a comforting perfunctory sentence.And usually when people say try their best, they don't try their best.Yanhong laughed dryly twice, and suddenly remembered what the snake woman said, Mu Yu's personality is not pleasing.

But this "unlikable" person enjoys admiration on the cusp of the storm smoothly.

——It was really strange.

Jian Xiangli agreed with her when she mentioned it, but then said: "Maybe you feel strange because of your own psychological factors."

For example, I reject the troubles and burdens imposed on me in my heart.

There seems to be a grain of truth in saying this, Yanhong groaned. "Then do you think she's unpleasant?"

"As a passer-by, I have a good impression of it."

"..."

Over there, Yanhong was still struggling, and Jian Xiangli didn't comfort her, and took the initiative to skip the unpleasant discussion. "In short, let's put this point first. I have asked a few elders in the past two days, and they think that judging from the size of the centipede, it is basically impossible to reach that point without three to five years of cultivation."

"That......"

"It doesn't matter whether that thing is always by Mu Yu's side or not. If she can really attract all kinds of evil things, it is absolutely impossible to have a single monster like a centipede." Jian Xiangli said. "Of course, if that big centipede is always by Mu Yu's side and is strong enough to prevent other monsters from approaching, it also makes sense."

Yan Hong thought for a moment, then hummed. "But in this case, wouldn't the more powerful youkai approach the more dangerous people?"

"Yes, that's what I'm going to say next." The exorcist seemed to sigh. "Under the entanglement of such monsters, ordinary people can't survive seven days."

But Mu Yu can still eat, run, and hold autograph sessions to chat with fans.

"Sure enough, that person is not simple..."

Jian Xiangli smiled, and then said: "They told me that apart from extremely vicious things, there are also various immortal herbs that are good for cultivation, such as inner alchemy, that can make evil things like vultures."

"But extremely vicious things won't protect Mu Yu in the midst of evil spirits, right?" Yan Hong said.

"Yes. If she was born with a golden body dedicated to warding off evil spirits, those things would not risk her life to surround her for a single cultivation base."

The rest of the situation is also clear at a glance.

"You can ask Mu Yu if she has experienced any catastrophe before."

The Exorcist finally suggested.

So she casually sent a message to Mu Yu while she was sleeping and brushing her teeth.

Unexpectedly, the other party responded quickly.

——Does fighting in elementary school count as being hospitalized?

Yanhong rolled her eyes.
