ghost stories

Meng Fanyu knew that one day he would be like this now, trapped in illusion, unable to see, speak, or move.

He knew this very well from the very beginning. There will be a price for everything you do. No matter how you choose, once you take the first step, it is impossible to stop.And the so-called no matter the cost, is to accept the current reality quietly like now.

He knew that Lu Yuan would definitely find this place, and also knew that because he didn't have much time, Pang Qi would definitely let Lu Yuan try to become the owner of the bottle, just like letting himself try it back then.

It's just that Pang Qi will not tell Lu Yuan how risky it is to do so. He will not tell Lu Yuan that either you are suitable or you disappear.

What kind of ending Lu Yuan will have is beyond Meng Fanyu's prediction.

Meng Fanyu once promised Lu Yuan that nothing would happen to him.

He can foresee many things, but this one, he can't judge in advance whether Lu Yuan is the right candidate, if not... he will lose the last chance to get the bottle back, which means that he also That's it.

Lu Yuan, at least I didn't lie to you about dying with you.

"There is one more person who can increase the chances of Lu Yuan returning the bottle to you, can't it?" Pang Qi's fingernails lightly scratched Meng Fanyu's body, and his voice came into his mind.

"Su Mo won't let Lu Yuan and Qi Hongwen have the opportunity to communicate in depth." Meng Fanyu hated Pang Qi forcibly sneaking into his consciousness when he was at his weakest, but there was nothing he could do.

"If Lu Yuan succeeds, what will you do?"

"Don't know, but if he doesn't succeed, I'll make you die a miserable death."

Lu Yuan couldn't move or speak, and could only watch helplessly as Meng Fanyu stabbed the black sword into the man's body, and then slowly drew it out. As the sword was drawn away from the man's body, what came out was not Instead of blood, plumes of black smoke.

"You actually..." The man's strength seemed to be drawn away from his body along with the black smoke, and his legs softened and he knelt on the ground.

"This is the only way, you can give me more time." Meng Fanyu looked at him quietly, and slowly retracted the black sword in his sleeve.

"I've taken you for so long, and you're actually able to take such a ruthless hand." The man's voice was much lower than before, and began to be a little erratic.

"Don't tell me this, you are just using me to send Su Mo away," Meng Fanyu smiled, and slowly raised his left hand, "And I just used you to do the same thing."

"You cold-blooded thing!" The man in black began to become blurred, his body gradually atomized, and he was sucked towards the palm of Meng Fanyu's left hand.

"From the moment you let me see Su Mo's empty coffin, you have already turned me into such a person."

Everything in front of him began to shake again, Lu Yuan was dizzy for a while, and the strong vomiting made him almost unable to breathe.Something started to enter his brain, his body.

From the depths of the body to the skin, every inch was excruciatingly painful.

Memories and the past poured in like the sea, tearing him apart like a chainsaw.

Lu Yuan was severely pressed into the abyss by this kind of pain that he had never experienced before, and a strong sense of lethargy hit his whole body.

I'm tired, so tired, I don't want to hear it anymore, I don't want to see it anymore...

"Xiaoyuan," he heard his own voice, "go back."

"I don't want to move anymore, brother." He replied softly.

"Go back, this is not the end."

"Lu Yuan!" Han Xu slapped Lu Yuan hard on the face.

Lu Yuan finally stopped struggling, his breathing gradually calmed down, his eyes slowly opened, and he saw Han Xu squatting beside him with an anxious face.

"Are you okay?" Seeing him waking up, Han Xu sat down on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief, "What happened to you just now?"

Lu Yuan didn't speak, he was lying on the ground, his eyes were looking at the ceiling, he could still faintly feel the pain as if his body was torn and sawed just now, and his muscles were still twitching gently, he saw and heard it , something he didn't want to see or hear.

"I'm exhausted." He glanced at Han Xu.

"I'm scared to death!" Han Xu frowned, "What happened to you?"

"I can't tell anymore. I have to go back to the 19th now. I want to find Su Mo." Lu Yuan sat up, feeling sore all over his body.

"Let's take a break first."

"No, I can't wait." Lu Yuan stood up.

Now there is no way to ask Meng Fanyu for clarification, the only one who can be found is Su Mo.

Su Mo seemed to be waiting for Lu Yuan. When Lu Yuan pushed open the gate of No. 19, he was sitting in the courtyard.

There was no tea set or tea table. This was the first time Lu Yuan saw Su Mo just sitting there, looking at him quietly, as if he hadn't moved for a long time.

"You're back." Su Mo said lightly.

This sentence passed through Lu Yuan's chest like an electric current, and Lu Yuan felt in a trance for a while. He knew who the sentence was said to, but he couldn't control the empathy.

"Su Mo," Lu Yuan paused, walked to Su Mo's side, looked at his expressionless face, "What exactly do you want?"

"Don't you know everything?" Su Mo didn't move, his eyes fell on a place behind Lu Yuan very erratically.

"Are you crazy? Don't you think it's unbelievable that so many lives are for such nothing..." Lu Yuan felt a pain in his heart, "No matter what happened, the price has already been paid too much. He probably didn't want to come back like this."

"Human life?" Su Mo smiled, and raised his eyes to look at him, "What is human life? For me, human life is really nothing."

Lu Yuan looked at Su Mo, he couldn't understand the depth of Su Mo's love and hatred, but he could feel Qi Hongwen's pain.He took off the pendant from his neck: "I know what's in it."

"Really." Su Mo looked at Zhui Zi, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly receded.

"I can..." Lu Yuan said it with some difficulty. He didn't want to say this on a whim, but facing Su Mo's gaze, he still hesitated. He didn't know what Su Mo would do when he heard these words kind of reaction.

"Huh?" Su Mo's voice was a little cold.

"I can make Qi Hongwen disappear into my body."

When Lu Yuan said these words, a yellow light flashed in front of his eyes, and then he felt out of breath.

Su Mo's fingers on his neck were icy cold, and the chill from the fingertips made Lu Yuan feel that his body temperature was dropping rapidly, and he could feel the murderous aura emanating from Su Mo's whole body.

"I can make you disappear right now," Su Mo whispered in his ear, "right now."

"Then we will disappear together, and I will disappear with him," Lu Yuan reached out to hold Su Mo's arm, "but there is another way, if you are willing to listen..."

Su Mo didn't speak, and loosened his fingers. Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the chill on his body subsided a little.

"I can't do this, but you can," Lu Yuan looked at Su Mo, "but you have to promise me that you will undo those people's curses, go where you should go, and scatter what you should..."

Su Mo's pupils contracted, and an amber light glowed: "That's impossible."

"Aren't you listening to what I have to say?"

"It's impossible to say anything." Su Mo's voice was cold, and Lu Yuan had never seen that kind of firmness with hatred.

"I can... give him my body."

Meng Fanyu suddenly opened his eyes.

Pang Qi quickly stepped back from his side.

"You are so lucky." Meng Fanyu glanced at him.

The dry laughter squeezed out of Pang Qi's throat cut through the black mist: "He succeeded..."

"This is an opportunity, let's go back."

"Let this end... I've had enough." Pang Qi turned into black smoke, slowly wrapped around Meng Fanyu's body, and penetrated into it little by little.

Meng Fanyu couldn't remember how long he hadn't been to this place. He hated it, hated it so much, and if given the chance, he would burn it down again without hesitation.

He stood on the uninhabited street of Qiyuanyuan, surrounded by a cold breath, he was familiar with this kind of air filled with the scent of crabapple flowers, which was driven out of his memory a long time ago.

Su Mo raised his left hand and covered Lu Yuan's eyes.

"come out."

Lu Yuan suddenly smiled, and slowly fell backwards to the ground.

"Why did you do this?" He could hear the familiar voice whispering in his ears, but he couldn't see anything when he opened his eyes wide.

"I'm tired." Lu Yuan replied.

"Do you want it to end like this?"

"If this can make him no longer live in hatred..."

"There is no one alive here."

Lu Yuan struggled to reach out to follow the voice, but he couldn't use any strength: "At least I'm alive, if I leave, you will be alive... I'm too tired, I have nothing to worry about..."

"Xiaoyuan, there is no one alive here." Qi Hongwen sighed softly.

"I do not understand."

"This is a place of vanity."

"False?"

"Yes, emptiness...without you, without Meng Fanyu, without Han Xu...everything is nothingness," Qi Hongwen's soft voice wafted in his ears, "but... there is still something you can do thing."

"What else can I do, I have nothing left to do."

"Let me disappear," Qi Hongwen whispered in his ear, "I don't want to make him suffer so much anymore. If I disappear, everything will be over..."

Su Mo looked at Lu Yuan who was lying quietly in front of him.

Qi Hongwen's aura in the air was dissipating little by little, and it became more and more difficult to catch. His body trembled slightly, and his pupils slowly shrank into thin lines.

"You can't do this... how can you do this..." Su Mo said softly, with a sense of sadness in his voice.

Number 19 is slowly disappearing, like a faded photo, fading little by little.Su Mo raised his head, and the waves were rippling above him...

"You're finally here." Su Mo heard his familiar footsteps and turned to look aside.

"It's time to end." Meng Fanyu stood outside the door, with black mist slowly gushing out from his left hand.

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Mo's mouth: "Is this the result you want?"

Meng Fanyu didn't speak, the black long sword in his hand had already taken shape.Su Mo watched him step by step, with a smile on his lips all the time: "Do you still have time?"

Following these words, Su Mo's left hand was lifted up abruptly, reaching towards Lu Yuan who was completely unconscious.
