What is it like to be a wizard in modern times?

Since Ms. Qian woke up from the hospital, she has been in a state of confusion and will remain in a state for a long time.

She just fell into a coma, why did the whole world change?

Why a single mother who raises her daughter alone has a domestic violence and greasy husband who fell to his death on the 21th floor overnight? This can be described as a strange situation witnessed in the [-]st century.

In Ms. Qian's memory, she has always lived alone with her daughter Qian Xiaoya. She has a vague memory of who her daughter was born with. Every day is hard but warm and happy.

But she fell into a coma for a while, and when she woke up, everyone said that she had a husband, but that was a stranger she had never seen before, and looking at the previous group photos couldn't stir up any waves in her heart.

She listened to what her friend said about the self who swallowed his anger and hanged on the crooked neck tree of the domestic violence man, and she just felt like she was listening to an absurd story.

Who is Ms. Qian?

Master of Laws from Shenzheng University of Political Science and Law, captain of the school's debate team, began to work as a legal aid professional in the protection of women and children's rights and interests in the third year, graduated from the District Procuratorate for internship, and worked in one of the best law firms in Shenzhou City. They were famous in their class Man of the hour.

So she couldn't say it, she couldn't figure it out.

Why did her world turn upside down when she woke up.It made her suspect that she had crossed over due to sudden death from overwork, and became another silly self in parallel time and space.

However, the ignorance does not affect her ability to act and judge. Except for the addition of a husband, the rest of the world is the same as her impression. After understanding the situation, she quickly made a plan to contact all friends in order to get rid of people as soon as possible. Zha Ying took her daughter to a new life.

She handed over the inheritance issue to a lawyer friend she knew well. It was difficult to do the work of the law firm to avoid being approached.Fortunately, she also minored in a second foreign language in German. She has a good standard and has all the certificates. She also went to Germany for a year as an exchange. With the savings she took out, there is no need to worry about not having enough money for the time being.

Then she moved to change her daughter’s school, etc. Her friends were moved to tears and sighed when they saw Ms. Qian, who was once vigorous and resolute, one by one offered a helping hand to help her go through the formalities, and her relatives in her husband’s hometown knew about it. Finished before.

On the premise that Ms. Qian made it clear that she didn't care about how much the inheritance could get, as long as it was broken cleanly, the group of relatives who had caused Ms. Qian to be admitted to the hospital were given a day trip to the police station by her lawyer, and there was no sound at all after that.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is like this, it shouldn't be something the captain of the school debate team can't handle.

On the phone, comforting the crying mother, the background sound was the father's growl of hating iron and steel, and Ms. Qian promised to take Xiaoya back for dinner on the weekend.After hanging up the phone, she swayed on the deck chair on the balcony, thinking about it with a feeling of fear and shudder.

Fuck, no matter how you think about this, it's not right. She must have been really bewitched before.

Otherwise, why would she wake up as soon as the man died, and she couldn't remember anything related to him.

Ms. Qian rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, and hurried to the bedroom to hug her daughter who was taking a nap to warm herself.

She seemed to see the man's half-drawn head dangling in front of her eyes when he was identifying the corpse, his eyes full of resentment, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, hissing.

No, she has to go to a temple that is more effective as soon as possible to worship.

When she was nervous, there were two "clicks" outside the door, which made her almost scream and woke up her daughter who was taking a nap.

"Mom?" The little girl who changed her name to Qian Xiaoya yelled uneasily, rubbing her eyes. Immediately, Ms. Qian patted her head and kissed her face. After thinking about the unfamiliar bedroom, she relaxed and realized that she had moved to a new home. up.

It was the neighbor knocking on the door.

When Ms. Qian was looking at the house, she heard from the landlord that there was an old foreign lady living next door to her.The lady has lived in Shenshi for many years, and she not only speaks Chinese well but also the local dialect, and is more familiar with the city than many locals.

However, after she moved here, she was so busy that she couldn't see her. Today, the other party took the initiative to knock on the door.

This old lady who calls herself Tina is indeed very charming, and her conversation is generous, elegant and funny.She came to visit Ms. Qian with a piece of cake she baked by herself, and said that since she has children in her family, the cake does not contain a lot of sugar, so the children don’t have to worry about tooth decay and can eat it with confidence.

Mrs. Tina saw that Ms. Qian was bringing her children by herself, and she didn't ask her about the situation at home. She just said euphemistically that she usually runs a store by herself and has a lot of free time. It is inevitable that people will live lonely when they are old. She and her children at home are welcome. Come to play with her often.

Ms. Qian gratefully added her to WeChat. She just moved here and has been relying on takeaway for a few days. She has nothing to give to her neighbors, so she had to ask her daughter to perform and sing.

During the singing and dancing of Qian Xiaoya's child "You look so beautiful when you smile", Mrs. Tina and Ms. Qian established a preliminary friendship. I heard that Ms. Qian said that she wanted to go to the temple to pay respects in two days, and Mrs. Tina returned it to her. A nearby small temple was recommended.

"Master Elvis, you should have heard of it, right?" Mrs. Tina sent her an address, "This temple is a bit out of the way, but it is very effective."

"I seem to have heard it from my family when I was a child." Ms. Qian recalled that she pressed the address under the soft glass of the table. In the past few days, she was going to pay homage to all the famous temples in Shenshi for peace of mind, and one more Elvis There are not many temples.

She had vaguely heard of the name Elvis Lord. It seems that there was a temple near her home when she was a child, and she heard that the worshiper in it was Lord Elvis. A long time ago, if a child was sick or there was a disaster at home, someone would go to worship it. It is said that it can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.

But when she was born, no one went to the temple. The gate was deserted and the weeds were waist-high. When the winter wind blew, it seemed that there were ghosts in it. The family even threatened that children could not enter the Elvis Temple, otherwise They were afraid to be picked up by Elvis, so scared that they dared not walk on that road after school.

Ms. Qian looked at Qian Xiaoya, and decided to leave her daughter with a friend for a day and go to the temple to have a look.

Compared with the temple near her home when she was a child, the Elvis Presley temple recommended by Mrs. Tina is also quite dilapidated.The threshold of the small temple was cracked, and the trees in the yard were covered with dead leaves. The small gate was squeezed between Shaxian snacks and Lanzhou noodles, and the dust on the floor was covered with a layer of oil.

Workers working in nearby factories often spend lunch in Shaxian County and Lanzhou Ramen. After eating, they would gather at the gate of the temple and in the courtyard to smoke a cigarette, chat and fart. No one dared to enter the circle.

No matter how you look at this kind of temple, it is impossible to be effective, but the so-called would rather believe it than believe it. Based on the mentality that this place is far away and not easy to find.

The smell of dust and smoke could not dissipate in the yard. Ms. Qian brought a bunch of incense herself. While worrying that there was no incense burner inside, she stepped into the main hall and raised her head to startle the statue above, making her heart tremble three times.

Facing it is a statue of a black cat, the paint is mottled and dusty, the original color cannot be seen, and the wear is also very serious. The tail is missing, arms and legs are missing, and even one ear is missing. The outline is smoothed. The two eyes on the face are foggy, sinking in the dark room, which has the gloomy atmosphere of horror movies.

Ms. Qian herself didn't know how to recognize that it was a black cat. The statue was so damaged that it looked like a geometric shape with irregular patterns at first glance.

On the contrary, the snake that the cat stepped on is well preserved, perhaps because the position of the snake statue below is not easy to be blown by wind and rain, and the outline of some scales can be seen. The long one is wrapped around the black cat's leg. It seems to be an anti-customer-oriented posture.

Ms. Qian took out the incense she brought and lit it, and put it in the small incense burner on the incense table. The small incense burner was made into a unique shape of a flying bird, and it was so charming that it spread its wings. It was not taken away secretly.

Ms. Qian sincerely paid three respects to the statue of Elvis King, praying that Lord Elvis would bless her and her daughter to be safe, to ward off evil spirits and to be healthy.

If there is anything wrong with her dead husband, please protect her and her daughter from it.

The incense was inserted in the censer, and the fire was burning with thin green smoke. Ms. Qian was afraid that no one watching the incense burning in this place would catch fire, so she patiently waited until the whole bunch of incense was burned out, and then she bowed again and turned to leave.

The courtyard of the small temple is also the residence of wild cats. When she stepped out of the temple gate, she saw a few wild cats meowing and walking past. There was another one sleeping on its stomach on a dead tree, with its tail dangling and shaking.

Why didn't I find so many cats in the yard when I came here?

This idea flashed through Ms. Qian's mind. She was a little nervous, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace. Maybe it was because she was too nervous. When she got home and sat down, her fingertips were still trembling, her chest was constricted and she couldn't breathe.

She looked at the pots and pans she brought out when she moved, a bitter and resentful emotion penetrated from the deepest part of her body to her heart, she took a deep breath to calm down, the hissing sound in her ears was like tinnitus, making her want to scream Call.

……

Shi Lu was in the storage room on the first floor of the Xiaoyang Building, counting some newly purchased spell-casting materials one by one by Banxi, when suddenly he felt dizzy for a moment, and the images flashed past chaotically.

A... snake?

He squinted his eyes to see clearly what the long green thing was, but his body puffed up faster than his consciousness and made a threatening sound.

Is this an afterimage of his memory, or a phantom that actually appeared, the timing is unclear, the green swaying in front of his eyes is like a raging and foul-smelling tide, rushing towards him without bounds, trying to swallow him in the deepest water.

Shi Lu was at a loss as to how to react, but his body already had instincts as if it had been tempered.At a certain moment, his eyes flashed fierce gold, like sparks from the collision of swords, burning fiercely on the blurred shadow, turning the green tide into a boiling sea of ​​fire.

His consciousness then braved the wind and waves, biting fiercely.

puff.

Suddenly, there was a puff of green smoke, and neither the tide nor the flame disappeared. Shi Lu clutched his head and couldn't help himself, only smelling the faint aftertaste of incense dissipating.

It is not the kind of incense that Banxi ordered, but the more common and cheaper kind of incense sold in major temples and scenic spots.

Upstairs, Banxi put down the spell-casting equipment he was wiping in his hand, and looked at the shelf—the scale fragments he got from the underground rat den in the community were placed on the shelf, sealed and stored in a stable and purely scientific plastic container, which can effectively Counteracts Remnant Mystic Curse Spread.

But he was sure that he felt strong energy fluctuations from there just now, carrying a strong malicious and negative aura, which penetrated the plastic barrier and spread out, conspicuous in this positive node like a bright light in the dark night.

Like a poisonous snake whispering in the dark, its slimy scales rubbed against his soul.
