black mist

Jian Tong was at a loss for words for a while, and finally she just said dryly: "...you are really crazy."

"Of course I'm crazy. I've been crazy since I had to pick up my daughter with a shovel." The middle-aged man laughed and cried with red eyes, "When you are all dead, I'll set another fire , Burn everything clean, you sinners, you don't deserve to leave traces on this world!"

"Then what about you, can you still escape unscathed if you kill us?" Jian Tong realized that in this world, they were no longer restricted by any laws and morals.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man didn't find the loopholes in his words: "Me? Why did I have to retreat? I killed so many of you, and I have to accompany you to hell!"

"You have all bullied Yingying, I have to watch you, and I can't let you trouble her again."

"In the next life, you guys should be good people, and I'll be a bad person..." The middle-aged man's eyes turned and fell on Jian Tong again, "So, you should repent quickly and don't waste my time."

Jian Tong killed him because he failed to fulfill his intention: "I will not repent, I have never done anything to be sorry for your daughter."

"You lie!!!" The middle-aged man interrupted him angrily, "You lie!!!"

Jian Tong simply broke the jar: "I said it at the beginning, you have admitted the wrong person! You ask me a thousand times and ten thousand times, I still have the same answer - I have never bullied your daughter, I absolutely do not Will repent!"

The middle-aged man was finally completely irritated, he walked quickly to the corner, picked up his thick wooden stick, and walked towards Jian Tong: "This is the last chance I will give you, do you regret it? "

"If you don't repent, you're dead. Why should I apologize for something I didn't do!" Jian Tong bit his tongue to death and refused to let go. He knew very well that once he repented, the middle-aged man would immediately turn on the killing mode and kill this place. everyone.

Middle-aged men are so obsessed with making them confess. Only by clenching their teeth and not confessing can it be possible to use the obsession of middle-aged men to gain a chance of life.

However, such stubbornness does not come without a price.

Seeing that he did not repent, the middle-aged man raised the thick wooden stick angrily, and slammed it down on Jian Tong...

Because she was bound to the chair, Jian Tong had no room to dodge at all, she could only close her eyes, tense her body, and let the thick wooden stick fall towards him...

But after a while, the expected pain did not appear, Jiantong hesitated for a moment, and slowly opened his eyes - a tall body stood in front of him against the light, and stopped hitting him with one hand thick wooden sticks.

elder brother? !

After seeing Wen Yan clearly, Jian Tong suddenly became excited: "Brother!"

Wen Yan heard his call, and subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

The middle-aged man, on the other hand, became even angrier because the attack was blocked, and the rage in his eyes grew stronger. He took out a dagger from his pocket with his backhand—the one he was going to use to slash Xu Chang’s body— - Taking advantage of Wen Yan's turning his head, he stabbed the dagger towards Wen Yan.

"Brother, be careful!" Jian Tong exclaimed after seeing the man's movements clearly, but it was still too late...

The white blade entered and the red blade exited, although Wen Yan narrowly avoided the vital parts, the dagger still made a cut in his waist, and blood flowed profusely immediately.

The middle-aged man immediately became happy as soon as he succeeded in the blow. When he decided to take revenge, he had already made up his mind to remove all obstacles at all costs. No matter what, he would definitely seek justice for his daughter.

If someone insists on stopping him, don't blame him for killing gods when he sees gods and Buddhas when he meets Buddhas.

Wen Yan was injured, but the middle-aged man's attack did not stop because of this, on the contrary, stimulated by the blood on Wen Yan's waist, his attack became more fierce.

Wen Yan was not powerless, but the injury to his waist did cause some trouble for his counterattack.

During the fight, no one noticed that Jian Tong's face became paler and paler...

——My brother got hurt because of me...

At a certain moment, Jian Tong's brain went blank, and only one thought filled his mind - Wen Yan was injured, and Wen Yan was injured because of him...

He stared at the dazzling redness on Wen Yan's waist for a moment, and finally his eyes went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

…………

When Jian Tong woke up again, she had already returned to the car.The co-pilot's armchair was laid flat, and he was lying flat on it, covered with Wen Yan's coat.

Just after waking up, Jian Tong was a little dazed and stared for a moment before slowly waking up.

As the memory came back, Jian Tong recalled the previous kidnapping case, the sad and ridiculous middle-aged man, and the injury Wen Yan suffered to save him...

Thinking of this, Jian Tong immediately turned her head to look at Wen Yan who was beside her. As expected, Wen Yan's side waist was tightly wrapped in bandages, and it looked like she had been injured.

Jian Tong panicked immediately.

"Brother..." He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the wound on Wen Yan's waist, but he was afraid that it would hurt Wen Yan, his fingertips trembled slightly, and finally hovered only a short distance away from Wen Yan's wound...

Sensing Jian Tong waking up, Wen Yan put down his phone and glanced at him: "Are you awake? Are you okay?"

Hearing Wen Yan's signature cold voice, Jian Tong's nose was sour instantly: "Brother, your injury..."

"It's not a problem." Wen Yan looked down at the bandage on his waist, "It's just a little bit of scratching, it's not serious."

Wen Yan mentioned the lightest symptom, but Jian Tong still felt that he blamed himself, and the boundless self-blame in his heart almost drowned him.

Seeing Jian Tong showing a look of crying or not, Wen Yan flicked his forehead with his fingers, and asked dumbfoundedly, "Why are you crying?"

Jian Tong covered the forehead that was slapped by Wen Yan, and also took advantage of the situation to cover the expression on his face.

After a while, the mood gradually recovered, and Jian Tong looked at Wen Yan again: "...I'm sorry, brother."

"It's not you who hurt me, why do you apologize?" Wen Yan said calmly, "You are also a victim."

Jian Tong nodded with red eyes, he wiped his face, turned his head and looked out the window, trying to adjust his mood.Only then did he notice that the sky had completely darkened. He took out his phone and looked at the time. It was already evening: "Hey, is it already this late?"

Wen Yan heard the words, and also followed the red clouds outside the window: "You have been asleep for most of the day."

Jian Tong glanced at Wen Yan in surprise, and after hesitating again and again, asked softly, "Brother, how did we get out?"

Wen Yan stared at him for a while, but did not speak, but Jian Tong couldn't help feeling a little flustered: "...wh, what's the matter? Did something happen?"

Wen Yan asked back: "Don't you remember anything?"

Jian Tong frowned and recalled: "I only remember that man cut you, what happened after that? I have no memory at all..."

Wen Yan was a little surprised after hearing this, hesitated to speak for several times, and finally decided to keep silent: "...you don't remember anything?"

Jian Tong pondered for a moment, then nodded: "...um." He looked at Wen Yan anxiously, "Did something happen after I lost consciousness?"

Wen Yan paused, and did not answer the question directly, but turned to comfort Jian Tong: "It's okay, it's not something important..."

"Then how did we get out?" Jian Tong asked again.

"I brought you out." Wen Yan said.

"..." Jian Tong always felt that something was weird, but Wen Yan made it clear and refused to say more, and he couldn't ask anything.

"Okay, don't think too much," Wen Yan reached out and rubbed Jian Tong's soft hair, "Since you're awake, let's go to Zhang Hezhong's house to take a look."

"Ah!" Jian Tong's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the early morning, "Brother! When did you find out that I'm missing?"

Wen Yan said: "When we walked to the middle of the third floor, I just wanted to look back at you, but before I could turn around, I saw you stepping into the air and falling towards me from the corner of my vision. I turned around and thought I caught you, only to find you were gone."

"I really fell," Jian Tong paused, "but the person who caught me was not my brother..." Even now, when Jian Tong thinks of that person, she is still filled with fear, "So it's not me and my brother There was an extra person in the middle, but when I fell, I disappeared from behind my brother..."

How exactly is this done?

Wen Yan glanced at Jian Tong: "Are you afraid? If you are afraid, we can wait until we go out before going to his house."

"I'm a little scared," Jian Tong smiled wryly. "But in this world, bumping into ghosts is my normal state. It's the same everywhere, so let's go! If you find the clues early, you can leave here earlier."

Wen Yan: "...OK."

"It's just..." Jian Tong paused, and couldn't help but glance at Wen Yan, "Can I hold brother's hand later?"

Wen Yan glanced at him and said, "You can hug me as long as you want."

Jian Tong smiled: "That's a good thing!"

On the way to Zhang Hezhong's house, Jian Tong and Wen Yan mentioned the middle-aged man who kidnapped him: "I think they are the ones who disappeared from the burning warehouse as mentioned in the forum."

"Well, they are indeed right," Wen Yan unlocked the phone with one hand and handed it over, "I saw them in the missing person notice."

Jian Tong took the phone, pulled out the photo album to look through it, and sure enough found everyone in the warehouse in the missing person notice...

He Ling, Gao Ru, Jing Yue, Chai Qiuying, Xu Chang, Shan Yushan... and Bai Ziying's father, Bai Yifeng.

Even though several years have passed, they still maintain the posture in the missing person notice.

Jian Tong sighed for a while, and suddenly said: "I can understand that they were brought into the world of Jinghu, but why do they keep repeating the state before they entered?" He thought of Chai Qiuying. When he met her in the morning, she showed no fear. Presumably, this is not the first time the process of dying has been repeated...

Just like the earth-bound spirit, it keeps repeating the process of death, trapped in the reincarnation of its own death and cannot be freed, just thinking about it makes people feel a little creepy.

Jian Tong glanced at Wen Yan, he actually thought of something, but he didn't dare to say it, he didn't dare to ask Wen Yan, if they couldn't get out, if they accidentally died in this mirror lake , Will one day become like Chai Qiuying and the others?

Become the "earth-bound spirit" of Jinghu Lake?
