Urban Night Returner

The police car blew its horn and drove wildly all the way.Sitting in the car, Xiao Heizi fidgeted anxiously: "Why is it earlier?"

Shen Gu nodded towards the window: "It's still dark."

Little Heizi let out an ah, and suddenly realized that in winter, the dawn was late, and it was still dark at this time, so it could still be regarded as "night".

"Will Rouge strike first?"

"Le Cen and Zuo Jian are both watching, and they will think of a way. And—" Shen Gu glanced at E Jun in the rearview mirror, "If he doesn't arrive, I guess Yan Zhi won't be in a hurry to kill."

E Jun trembled slightly: "Xiao Zhe——did he kill someone?"

Xiao Heizi answered quickly: "Not only did he kill someone, but he also killed more than one person. At least - let me count - at least five!"

E Jun's face turned pale.Shen Gu glanced at him lightly: "Scared?"

"Why did he kill?"

"There is too much resentment. When you die, you hold hatred, and after you die, you turn into a ghost and take revenge and kill people."

E Jun covered his face with his hands: "Xiao Zhe, he must hate me very much."

"Why did you go abroad?"

E Jun smiled wryly: "It's my fault. My mother made a big fuss and said she would die if I didn't listen to her. She's not in good health either, so I'm really afraid that something will happen to her. It just so happens that the scholarship has been applied again, yes Given the conditions of my family, the opportunity is rare. I think it’s okay to go out and finish school first. When I come back, I’m older, so my mother won’t be so strict, and Xiaozhe and I have a better chance. ..."

"Have you explained these words to Yan Zhe?"

"My mother won't let me see Xiao Zhe. I sent him an email, but..."

Shen Gu didn't speak, just stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom.Little Heizi thought about it for a long time, and then said, "You——it would be too dishonest to leave like that!"

E Jun buried his face deeply in his palm: "I know. So this time, I must come back."

The police car rushed all the way to the Qutangxia community, and it was still dark.Zuo Jian looked down from upstairs, his face full of anxiety, he was relieved when he saw them, and waved desperately.

E Jun and Han Ming live diagonally opposite each other. At the moment, the doors of both houses are open, and all the computers at home are turned on. The screen is full of their "group". On the group bulletin board, a big blood-red 0 It kept flashing, shaking people's eyes.Neither family dared to stay in the house, they would rather stand in the corridor in winter.E Jun's mother is not as aggressive as usual now. When she saw E Jun, she rushed forward and hugged her son and cried: "Well, what's going on? Son, why are you back?"

Shen Gu took a look into the room, Zuo Jian and Zhong Lecen were guarding a computer, holding talisman papers in their hands.Zuo Jian kept calling the phone, asking about other companies.Shen Gu walked behind Zhong Lecen: "How is it?"

"I haven't shown up yet. Is E Jun here?"

E Jun gently pushed his wailing mother away and walked into the room: "Xiao Zhe, I'm here."

E Jun's mother desperately wanted to hold her son: "Are you crazy! You still want to talk to a ghost?"

The computer screen flickered, and the gray "Rouge" profile picture in the group list suddenly lit up.The blood-red 0 began to slowly turn into two, then two into four, and finally filled the entire screen, gradually forming a face, with slightly blurred facial features and a delicate outline, but it was set off by the blood red. Terrible.Shen Gu was slightly taken aback, and silently asked with his mouth: "Can you hear it? Or can you see it?"

Zhong Lecen finally understood what he meant, and pointed to the camera on the computer: "Video."

E Jun's eyes were fixed on the blood-stained face on the screen, and his voice trembled slightly: "Xiao Zhe?"

E Jun's mother held her son tightly: "Don't go there!"

E Jun gently opened her hand: "Mom, let go."

"Hey, you are a stupid kid—" E Jun's mother interrupted before E Jun's mother finished speaking, "I'm not stupid, Xiao Zhe is the one I love, and I want to see him."

E Jun's mother seemed to be struck by lightning, and she stood there dumbfounded.On the contrary, E Jun's father gasped and yelled first: "What did you say?"

E Jun looked at his parents calmly: "Dad, Mom, let me tell you, I love Xiao Zhe, I am the same person as him."

The corner of E Jun's father's mouth twitched for a long time, and he wanted to take off the cloth shoes on his feet: "You little bastard——"

E Jun didn't evade, just said: "Dad, if you want to fight, close the door and fight in the house, don't make a scene that everyone knows."

E Jun's father gritted his teeth and took the sole of his shoe and gave him twice: "You don't want any face, what face do I need?"

E Jun accepted it calmly: "I like someone, and I don't steal, rob, kill, set fire to, what's the shame?"

E Jun's mother stayed for a while, then suddenly sat down on the ground, and burst into tears: "Oh my god, I'm dying! Why is Lao Yan's family so shameless? They even hooked up with my son after raising a son. I'll ask them to settle the matter." to-"

With a bang, the camera on the computer exploded, sending debris flying.The blood-red portrait on the computer screen distorted and disappeared, replaced by a line of dazzling red words: "You all go to hell!"

Shen Gu really wanted to throw that woman out the door, or turn around and leave now.Zhong Lecen's face turned pale, and he held the talisman tightly in his hand, and said to Shen Gu in a low voice: "Call me quickly and ask what's going on with the other companies?"

There was a creaking sound from the computer speakers that seemed to be scratching glass, and the words on the screen changed a line - everyone is going to die.

E Jun rushed to the computer: "Xiao Zhe, Xiao Zhe, listen to me! It was my fault before, I shouldn't leave you, it's all my fault! But you don't kill people, it has nothing to do with others, it is We are too weak! At that time, I didn’t dare to tell the truth to my parents, I thought that after I graduated and could support myself, then—” He grabbed the edge of the screen with both hands, almost wanting to get in .

The computer screen went black for a moment, and then the blood-red head appeared again. This time, the facial features were a little clearer, and it looked like he was smiling sarcastically. A line of words slid across the bottom of the screen: "So are you brave now?"

E Jun swallowed a breath: "Yes. I know it's too late now, but I hope I can do something for you. Don't kill people. If you kill people, you won't be the little Zhe you used to be. And, and you will Somebody got you—”

The head portrait smiled deeper: "Then what are you going to do for me now?"

E Jun took a deep breath: "I will never love others again."

The creaking voice came from the speaker again: "It's great...do you think I will believe you?"

"Then how will you trust me?"

The portrait was silent for a moment, and then replied: "When you die, you will no longer love others."

E Jun seemed to know that he would say this, and said calmly: "I can't die now. Because I have parents, and your parents, I will take care of them. If we all die, what will they do?"

The portrait laughed loudly, and the creaking sound almost pierced the eardrums of those present: "My parents? They don't want me anymore."

E Jun said calmly: "But they are still your parents."

The computer fell silent.After a long time, a line of words slowly appeared: "Then how do you want to prove it?"

E Jun carefully took out something from his pocket: "If you were with me forever and looked at me, would you believe me?"

There was no movement on the computer, but Zhong Lecen suddenly rushed towards E Jun: "What are you holding?" His voice was a bit sharp.E Jun was startled, and hurried to the side, but only felt a lightness in his hand, Shen Gu next to him somehow took the thing in his hand, and handed it to Zhong Lecen: "What is this?"

Zhong Lecen's expression changed instantly: "Raising ghosts? How do you know how to raise ghosts?"

E Jun was stunned for a moment: "The technique of raising ghosts? What is the technique of raising ghosts?"

Zhong Lecen pointed to the thing that Shen Gu took out from his hand. It was a small piece of willow wood. Although it was a bit rough, it could still be seen that it was Yan Zhe: "Don't you want to raise a kid? No, Yan Zhe Zhe is no longer a child, what on earth do you want to do?"

E Jun was completely taken aback by what he said: "I——this is what a friend said, and he said that in this way, Xiao Zhe and I will be together forever."

Zhong Lecen was so angry: "Which friend of yours said that? It's nonsense! This thing is used to raise little ghosts, but Yan Zhe is no longer a child. If you use this method to raise him, maybe what will happen in the end?" ! If he turns into a ghost, you won't know how to die!"

E Jun stared blankly at the short piece of willow wood: "But, but I want to be with Xiao Zhe..."

E Jun's mother was petrified just now, but now she came to her senses, and she jumped over and grabbed her son tightly: "Junjun, don't be confused! Then what, the police comrade said, Yan Zhe killed someone before." !You——if you are killed by him, I won’t live anymore! Woo—”

E Jun let his mother pull him, but just rolled up the sleeve of his left hand: "Mom, look at this."

E Jun's mother took a look and was startled.There is a dark red scar on E Jun's left wrist across the entire wrist, with centipede-like stitches on both sides of the thick scar: "Hey, what's going on?"

"When I was abroad, I heard that Xiao Zhe died. I——suicide once."

There was silence in the room, and the squeaking noise from the computer speakers stopped.E Jun's mother was so frightened that she was speechless, and E Jun's father also stared at him not knowing what to say.E Jun withdrew his hand and said softly: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, but I like Xiao Zhe. He died, and I already feel sorry for him. Now, I want to be with him. I don't want to see him continue to kill people."

Zuo Jian had already come over from Han Ming's house, and after hearing this, he said, "But the method you want to use won't work."

E Jun looked at them for help: "That was said by a friend I met when I was abroad. He said that he also got it from a friend, but he raised his son who died early."

Zuo Jian shook his head straight: "What kind of friend are you? The one who taught him this method is also a fool! Raising a kid's yin energy will damage his fortune and morality. Even if he can keep people by his side for a while, his family will be ruined for a long time."

E Jun's mother listened, and cried again with snot and tears, but E Jun just patted her, and continued to ask Zuo Jian and Zhong Lecen: "I think you two understand this, is there any way for me to talk to you?" Xiaozhe together?"

Zuo Jian shook his head in embarrassment: "This - you can also let him go to your body, but if you do this for a long time, it will be very bad for your body, and it is possible - in the end, only one of you two souls will remain."

E Jun said eagerly: "I'm not afraid of this, Xiao Zhe won't harm me!"

Zuo Jian shook his head straight, E Jun was a little anxious, and reached out to snatch the small willow piece from Shen Gu's hand: "Since you can't do anything, then leave me alone!"

Of course, Shen Gu couldn't let him take the things away from his hands, and when he turned around for a while, E Jun was empty-handed.Zhong Lecen reached out to stop him, and frowned tightly: "Wait a minute, let me think again."

Zuo Jian came over and said in a low voice, "Mixed places of yin and yang are not good for living people no matter what, what can be done?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head lightly: "What if we get married in the dark?"

Zuo Jian opened his eyes wide in surprise: "But E Jun is alive!"

Zhong Lecen had already made up his mind, and said confidently: "It doesn't matter. People who have not died before can still have a living funeral. If both parties are willing, E Jun and Yan Zhe can have a ghost marriage. After a ghost marriage, The two are connected by a red thread, which can be regarded as the harmony of yin and yang. Then Yan Zhe will not strip the yang too much with the yin and the yang when he stays with E Jun, and E Jun's body will not be too damaged. However-the life span is inevitable. Lost for a few years."

Zuo Jian looked at him in surprise: "I really can think about it! Life is yang, death is yin, men are yang, women are yin, this dark marriage... is really feasible!"

E Jun's parents had never seen or heard anything today, and now they were so shocked by the incidents that they didn't respond, and they didn't even know to object when they heard about the ghost marriage.On the contrary, E Jun cheered up, and asked hopefully: "What is a ghost marriage? If I get a ghost marriage, can I see Xiao Zhe?"

Zhong Lecen glanced at Zuo Jian, who shook his head helplessly: "I can only see it at night, but I'm afraid I can see it, but I can't touch it."

E Jun's face darkened: "I can't touch him? Then, it's okay if I can see him."

Zuo Jian shook his head again, turned around and asked the computer: "Yan Zhe, are you willing?"

The computer has not moved for a long time, it seems to be listening quietly, even the bright red color seems to be a little softer.After hearing Zuo Jian's question, a line of words slowly appeared on the screen: "You don't regret it?"

Zhong Lecen looked at E Jun: "Yes, you have to think about it. A ghost marriage is a lifetime affair, and you and him will never be separated."

E Jun nodded immediately: "I've made up my mind, I don't regret it!"

The portrait on the computer gradually turned from blood red to light gray, and after a long time, another word slowly appeared: "Okay."

Although it is impossible to completely cover up the fact that Yan Zhe is haunted by ghosts, the fact of being married to a ghost is too appalling, so it is better to keep the door closed.E Jun's parents cried and made noises, but in the end they could only listen to their son.Firstly, E Jun has made up his mind, and secondly, Zuo Jian also revealed the previous cases to them. Both of them knew in their hearts that if E Jun did not marry Yan Zhe, Yan Zhe would not let it go. He, and perhaps even the two of them, could not escape.E Jun's mother doesn't know how regretful she is now, she should not be so vicious, and her son will not have to be tied to a dead ghost for a lifetime.Not to mention that it is impossible to marry a wife and have children in the future, even life expectancy may not be long.In just a few days, the two of them seemed to be ten years older, and their hair had turned gray.

Yan Zhe's parents were also invited.Yan Zhe's father used to be a small boss in a factory, and at first he never believed that there would be ghosts in this world. It was only when Yan Zhe appeared on the computer once that his father shut his mouth in shock.Don't mention how embarrassing it is when the parents of the two families meet.Even Zuo Jian and Zhong Lecen were extremely awkward. If it weren't for the fact that marriages in the underworld require parents to attend just like marriages in the celestial world, it would be better not to invite them.

The time for the ghost marriage is chosen on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day Zhong Lecen watches. It is suitable for burial, marriage and groundbreaking.So, when thousands of families were celebrating the new year, the Yan family and the E family, the two rivals, sat together.Two pairs of parents sat on the left and right sides, with the urns of E Jun and Yan Zhe in the middle.With such a strange combination, even if the table is full of hot dishes, no one can take a bite.

Zhong Lecen came to preside over the ghost marriage.The two parties in the ghost marriage were to be buried together, but now E Jun is still alive, so Zhong Lecen cut off a lock of his hair as a representative, put it in Yan Zhe's urn, and then sent it to the cemetery on a good day. It's like a joint burial.E Jun's mother watched her son's curly hair being put into Yan Zhe's urn, as if seeing her son buried, she couldn't help crying, which made Yan Zhe's mother think of her dead son, and cried too.

Zhong Lecen sighed secretly, drew a talisman around Yan Zhe's urn with cinnabar, then lit 23 white candles, 22 of which were glued around the urn, and handed one to E Jun: "Take it. Stay." I will turn off the lights in a while, and you will be named Yan Zhe. This red rope has been dyed with your blood. When Yan Zhe appears later, you tie one end of the red rope to him, and the other end to the On your own wrist, the ghost marriage is completed, and the relationship between the two of you is settled. In the future, he will always stay at the other end of this red rope, and will always be by your side."

The lights went out, leaving only the flickering light of the candles in the room.Although E Jun had made up his mind, his voice was still trembling: "Yan Zhe. Xiao Zhe? Xiao Zhe..." Following his call, the candle flame jumped a few times and suddenly turned greenish, a faint figure Slowly appearing in the center of the talisman array, although the facial features are somewhat blurred, everyone present can recognize it, this is Yan Zhe.He was exactly what he looked like when he was alive, and he was not as terrible as when he was dead.Yan Zhe's mother couldn't help stretching out her hand, and called out, "Zhe Zhe—"

Zhong Lecen immediately pressed her hand down: "Don't touch him! Only E Jun can touch him."

Yan Zhe's mother swallowed a sob, turned her head away and shed tears.E Jun nervously picked up the red rope, tied one end to his wrist, and handed the other end to Yan Zhe.Yan Zhe stared at him for a while, and finally stretched out his hand.E Jun carefully tied the red rope to his wrist. Seeing that the red rope was wrapped around Yan Zhe's wrist, just like it was tied around his own wrist, he couldn't help reaching out to touch his hand.However, his fingers passed through the middle of Yan Zhe's palm, like passing through a cloud of smoke, without feeling anything.

Zhong Lecen closed the urn with a snap, and drew a talisman on it with cinnabar.As soon as the talisman was finished, all the candles were suddenly extinguished, and everyone who was too nervous screamed.Shen Gu stood by the wall, and immediately turned on the light, Yan Zhe was gone, most of the red rope was wrapped around E Jun's wrist, but a small part was dragged down.If you look carefully, you will find that the end of the red rope is slightly upward, and does not hang down to the ground according to the law of universal gravitation...
