Around

"What's wrong?" Lian Qiaoye's voice came to Shentucheng's ears, with faint concern.

Shen Tucheng came back to his senses and took a closer look at Lian Qiaoye for the first time—the appearance has not changed, it is still as beautiful as when he first saw her.Shen Tucheng always thought that Lian Qiao was good looking, but that was just "good looking", nothing else.To Shen Tucheng, Lian Qiao is just a "good-looking" school girl.But today, even a coincidence surprised Shentu City.Not on the outside, but a temperament from the inside out.Lian Qiao before today was also beautiful and fierce, but now Lian Qiao also has a gentle aura on her body, not dazzling or stabbing, like a sandalwood scabbard covering the tip of the sword, or a piece of Velvet encases the diamonds.

As if the transformation from glamorous to elegant has been completed, this kind of coincidence also made Shentucheng's heart skip a beat.

"Hey, are you okay?" Seeing Shen Tucheng blankly, Liu Xia stretched out her finger and waved it in front of the other party's eyes.

Shen Tucheng pushed away the hand that was disturbing his sight in displeasure, organized his thoughts, and asked, "How long will it take?"

Liu Xia pointed to a four-story building not far away and said, "Here, that's it."

Along the way, Shentu City saw houses of various styles, most of them were European style, some exquisite, some gorgeous, and the one Liu Xia pointed out was a typical Gothic building.

In Shentucheng's impression, the three words "gothic" represent "sharp and nervous".Gothic architecture is usually characterized by pointed arches, vaults, and slender columns, and the house in front of me fits all of these features.

Strictly speaking, this is a very beautiful house. The long pointed roof and the blue-gray walls make it stand out in the dark.It wasn't until he approached Shentu City that he realized that the house actually only had two floors, and the height of the first floor was three times that of the second floor.The gate is very high, Liu Xia and a few people stood at the gate and waited quietly. Shentucheng took advantage of this time to carefully observe the surrounding environment - the house is still surrounded by dense trees, perhaps because the branches and leaves are too lush, all The branches are slightly inclined to the middle, which forms the shape of an inverted bowl, firmly covering the house.

There are no street lights nearby, and a few strands of moonlight shine through the leaves, which not only does not play the role of lighting, but makes the surroundings of the house look darker.

No one spoke, and the surrounding area was eerily quiet.Suddenly, the door of the house was pulled open a small crack, and a hand shaped like a dead branch stretched out. The bright red nail polish on it made Shentucheng feel sick.Liu Xia handed over a pass-like card.The hand took it and flashed through the door again.

After a while, the door opened slowly, and Liu Xia walked in with the three of them swaggeringly.Unexpectedly, there was no one inside the door, Shentucheng carefully observed the surroundings, except for a few of them, there was no human presence.

He didn't feel it outside before, but Shentucheng didn't feel its oppression until he really entered inside.It was as if a pair of invisible hands were pressing down on his shoulders forcefully.All the muscles in Shentucheng's body tensed up instantly.

"Let's go." Liu Xia walked straight to the stairs on the right as if he had been here before, and went up first.

The first floor is very high, so the corresponding stairs are also very long. Gao Jie didn't say a word during the whole process, but when he stepped on the ground of the second floor, he couldn't help but let out an "ah".

"What's wrong?" Liu Xia was taken aback, and quickly turned around to ask.

Gao Jie supported the wall with one hand, trying to calm himself down—what is this feeling of being separated from body and soul?When he stepped into the second floor just now, he suddenly felt a powerful force tearing him, as if trying to pull him out of his brother Gao Cong's body.

"Are you scared?" Liu Xia seldom saw Gao Jie's weak appearance, and couldn't help joking, "Do you want me to hug you?"

Gao Jie glared at him fiercely, and then slowly straightened up until his breathing was completely smooth.Just as he was about to speak, a thought suddenly popped up - neither Liu Xia nor Shen Tucheng felt any discomfort, so the one who reacted was...

Although there is only my own soul in this body now, the body belongs to my brother after all. If there is something on the second floor that can expel the soul that does not belong to the body itself, then even coincidence... He immediately looked behind Shentucheng— — Even Qiao looked as usual.However, there seems to be something different.

After being possessed, even if Lian Qiao just stood quietly, she could still exude a sense of aura in her life. It was not a woman's unique charm, but a kind of masculinity and tolerance.Gao Jie can't see this kind of aura in the current Lian Qiaoye at all.

The ghost is gone?Just thinking about it, a gentle voice sounded beside Gao Jie's ear: "I'm here."

It seems that nothing happened.Gao Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and communicated with "him" in the old way: "The body?"

"It's okay, even Qiaoya's soul is in control."

"You...didn't drive her out?" Gao Jieqi asked.It is very uncomfortable for two souls to be squeezed into one body. He knows the feeling of being squeezed to the point of suffocation.

"This is her reward." The voice replied lightly.It seems that there is no pain or discomfort.

In fact, compared with the world of "people", the world of ghosts is more cruel.They don't have the so-called sentiment of compassion, and some only have the law of the jungle.Those with strong ability enjoy everything as a matter of course, territory, food, power of life and death...or kill those with weak ability, or be killed by those with stronger ability.Order, fairness, morality, and benevolence are incomprehensible to them.They have no emotions, only instincts.So Gao Jie didn't understand, when this ghost was completely dominant, why didn't he kill Lian Qiao, instead he felt wronged and endured the feeling of his soul being squeezed?

Gentleman, Duanfang... This word suddenly popped up in Gao Jie's mind.This is really ridiculous, he actually thought of using such a word to describe a ghost, but apart from that, Gao Jie has no better words.

It is also the first time for Lian Qiao to manipulate the body of a "human" in the form of a "ghost". Even if it is her own, it is as if she is wearing an ill-fitting dress. Rigid and eerie.Fortunately, she learned quickly, and after Gao Jie helped her a few times without any trace, she couldn't see any abnormalities.

Only then did Gao Jie settle down to observe the layout of the second floor - the place where they are now is a corridor, with the handrail on the left, and they can directly see the hall on the first floor, and a row of small rooms on the right.The entire second floor is in the shape of "Hui", so with Gao Jie's eyesight, he can clearly see that there is also a row of rooms on the opposite corridor.There were lights on in every small room, and Gao Jie noticed that the door of the room on his side was blue, while the door on the opposite side was red.

Noticing his gaze, Liu Xia leaned over and explained softly: "The red ones represent extreme danger, and the blue ones are the slightest." Visitation allowed.

"What about the yellow doors on both sides?" Gao Jie looked at the other two sides of the "back" shaped corridor.

"The representative is ready to carry out the task."

Gao Jie nodded, no wonder there is no light on the two sides, presumably there are not many people who can carry out the task.

"Where is Wang Shiwei?"

"The penultimate room in this row is the slightest of the slightest."

During the conversation, several people had come to the room where Wang Shiwei was.Shen Tucheng looked in through the glass window on the door, and saw Wang Shiwei curled up in the corner, muttering something, and occasionally waving his hands.

Liu Xia raised his head to look around, and then made a gesture to the lamp on the ceiling. Only then did Shen Tucheng notice that there was a very small monitor installed beside the lamp.

With a "click", the door bolt moved, and the door bounced open from the inside out.

The light in the room was sufficient, even a bit dazzling, Shen Tucheng narrowed his eyes, and after a little getting used to the light, he walked quickly towards Wang Shiwei.

"Shiwei?" He called out tentatively.

Wang Shiwei raised his head blankly, as if he couldn't recognize who the person in front of him was.

"I'm Shentu."

"Shentu..." Wang Shiwei repeated in a low voice, as if trying to think about something, "Shentu...City...Shentu City..."

"Yes, it's me." Shen Tucheng listened to Liu Xia's instructions and tried to keep his voice as soft as possible so as not to irritate Wang Shiwei.

"Shentu, Shentu!" Wang Shiwei grabbed Shentucheng's arm and shouted eagerly, "I have something to tell you! It won't let you go! It won't let you go!"

"Shiwei!" Shen Tucheng held down Wang Shiwei, who was emotional, and slowed down because he was afraid of hurting the other party, so he took several punches from Wang Shiwei himself.Seeing this, Liu Xia and Gao Jie hurried up to help.Who knew that the approach of the two of them not only did not calm down Wang Shiwei, but made him even more excited.

"Go away! Don't come here!" Wang Shiwei struggled in Shentucheng's hands and shouted, "Go away! Go away!"

"Shiwei calm down." Shen Tucheng increased his strength, "Tell me who Die Xian is, and I will help you."

I don't know if it was because of Shentucheng's suppression or because of the word "Die Xian", Wang Shiwei suddenly became quiet.Holding a corner of Shentu City like a child, Wang Shiwei's eyes were filled with tears. "It's coming, it's coming..." He retracted himself into the shadow cast by Shentu City, crying softly, "It won't let me go, it won't..."

Shentucheng and Liu Xia glanced at each other, and after getting the other's approval, they squatted in front of Wang Shiwei and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we will take you out of here."

Wang Shiwei looked up at Shentucheng, and quickly buried his face in his knees.After a long time, Shentucheng heard him say softly: "I won't go."

Shen Tucheng comforted: "It's okay, Shiwei, you are not sick. Let's go back to school, don't you want to continue the class?"

Wang Shiwei seemed to be seriously considering Shentucheng's proposal. At this moment, his sanity seemed to be completely clear. After thinking for a while, he looked into Shangshentucheng's eyes and said word by word: "I won't leave."

You are crazy... Shentucheng thought so when he heard the answer, but Wang Shiwei's eyes were clear, so Shentucheng asked, "Why?"

Wang Shiwei replied without thinking: "If I go out, I will die."

"Will not……"

"Yes." Wang Shiwei interrupted Shen Tucheng, "No one can escape."

Shen Tucheng wanted to persuade him again, but he saw that Wang Shiwei had returned to his original state, and he was bewildered.Gao Jie had already lost his patience, picked up Wang Shiwei and asked fiercely: "Who is Die Xian?!"

Wang Shiwei didn't seem to feel his irritability, he giggled silly.

Liu Xia sighed: "It seems that I can't ask..."

Although Shentucheng couldn't bear to throw Wang Shiwei here like this, there was really no other way.Just when several people turned to leave, he heard Wang Shiwei's voice gently drifting into his ears——

"Zhizhe."
