Follow the shadow

"I...I want to find someone..." Shui Gui whispered, "That person is my younger brother. I don't remember his name, and I don't know where he lives now. I miss him very much." She raised her head Looking at Su Yun cautiously, the voice as thin as a mosquito made people upset.

"Can you help me find him?" Su Yun raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a wicked smile, "I can't, I'm only responsible for killing people, if you need... Sister Ning, take the little girl into the house to count her fate Greg, see if you can deduce the time of his brother's birth."

Ning Sheng obeyed, and walked in while supporting the water ghost's shoulders.The water ghost held his head tightly in his arms and pursed his lips, as if to cheer himself up.

"My name is Zhuang Qin. If you can help me find my younger brother...I can tell you about your previous life."

Although Su Yun was still expressionless, the hand holding the rabbit still trembled slightly.The rabbit who kept his head buried and pretended to be asleep looked up at her. Ning Sheng could read some irony and viciousness from that look. He would never let this water ghost say anything useful, even if the other party was someone who was about to lose his soul. .

If Ning Sheng and Xu Yang could still agree on one thing, it must be for Su Yun's safety.

Ning Sheng closed the door with a smile, but he had already thought about how to deal with the water ghost. "Little girl, let's begin."

In the past, most of the funerals and ceremonies in the palace were presided over by the empress. Although Ning Sheng came from a humble background, he was not dull, and he had indeed learned a lot during his reign.Naturally, she has come up with methods like fortune-telling to find people.

But the trouble is, there is no fresh blood on the water ghost, and the Tianwen Talisman to activate the fate must let the talisman drink blood. Blood spurted out.Almost in an instant, the water ghost was left with only its body and legs, and its broken arms fell to pieces on the ground.She quietly looked at her mutilated body, her pale head kept rolling on the ground, blood flowed from her neck, and left long scars on the ground, it was terrifying and miserable.

Time seemed to have stood still, the standing man held a knife in his hand, blood dripped drop by drop, and bright red flowers bloomed on the floor.The water ghost, who hadn't reacted yet, swayed and walked to the side of his head as if he wanted to squat down and pick it up.Blinking his eyes, he tried his best to lift up, but he couldn't reach the height of his shoulders no matter what.She began to tremble, her head refused to roll on the ground, and she painted the ground with blood.

She finally realized what Ning Sheng was going to do. She knew that she would have to pay the price, but she never thought that the price would be so tragic.The sound of body breaking came from her ears, and her body was disintegrating.She started screaming, and her staring eyeballs fell out of their sockets, soaking in blood.

The crippled body fell down, her feet were still kicking on the ground subconsciously, she was moving towards Ning Sheng, her swollen body was like a white flesh worm, writhing on the ground dragging bloodstains.

Ning Sheng picked up the eyeballs with gloves and pressed the sockets, the water ghost was still screaming, looking at her unwillingly, with only resentment in his eyes.

"Think about your brother, you'd better be quiet." Ning Sheng smiled at her, the ghostly smile was actually scarier than the water ghost.She wiped away the blood spattered on her cheeks with her fingers, only coldness remained in her charming peach eyes.

Ning Sheng stopped talking, and pierced the middle of the talisman paper straight with the tip of the knife, blood flowed down the blade vertically, re-drawing the runes drawn with cinnabar on the talisman paper.

The talisman rose up without wind and was surrounded by raging flames in the air.The wind rushed out from the talisman paper, blowing all the things on the table down, and the heavy curtains fell straight down as if being torn by a wild beast.

Ning Sheng threw the dry blood on the knife to the ground, and the blood recombined on its own, revealing the life of the water ghost.

Ning Sheng took a rough look, then turned around and picked up the water ghost's head and put it next to the handwriting, "Would you like to take a look too? Human life is short, but looking at it is a kind of nostalgia anyway." After the water ghost stopped screaming Then it was unusually quiet, as if completely lost the decoration of the soul, allowing Ning Sheng to arrange it at will.

The blood on the ground gradually solidified, and a little water could blur her whole life.She seemed to realize at this moment that she was really going to die, she would not hurt, she would not bleed, there would be little emotional change, she would not even be human.But when she didn't scare people, those people didn't have to kill her like in the story, and sometimes they even looked at her with pity...

She thought it was the rest of her life.

"Are you so afraid that he will know?" Shui Gui suddenly asked, she could see the undisguised killing intent in Ning Sheng's eyes, Ning Sheng almost tried his best to cover up that secret.But why is she not? In order to ask Su Yun for help, she spent so much effort to find such a little information.

"Human, we will help you find it, but your factor is really unstable, I decided to take your remnant soul with you." Ning Sheng didn't answer the water ghost's question, turned around and restored the things on the table to their original state.She took out a small glass bottle from nowhere, and the water ghost was forced to fly in as an afterimage, and she covered the quilt and locked it up.

She subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't know if it was because she was really worried about what useful information the water ghost could tell, or because no one had come out to stop it so far.

"It's really stupid to send someone's head away even if he knew that coming in would be death." Ning Sheng's hand holding the glass bottle shook, but he didn't dare to turn around.

Su Yun looked at the blood on the ground, and couldn't understand what he was thinking on his calm face, "Destroy the soul to ask for blood, sister Ning, the formation you used is really precious." After death, the soul turns into a ghost, although it can It scares people with blood, but it doesn't produce blood at all.And Ning Sheng used tens of thousands of ways to open the Tianwen Talisman, none of which was better than cutting the soul to beg for blood.

Ning Sheng put away the glass bottle while suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, "It's her own soul that's damaged that makes her lose her body. It has nothing to do with whether I hurt her soul or not. Besides, isn't she still alive?"

The rabbit knocked open the door and came in, feeling the atmosphere in the room.He walked over as if nothing had happened, "Ahyun, this place is very dirty, let's go out first..."

Su Yun ignored him. He squatted down and stained a little blood with his fingers. Suddenly, a very clear picture appeared in his mind - he was tied up, blood vessels in his hands and feet were cut and blood flowed out.

His body trembled, and his eyes gradually became blurred... "What about you, be on guard everywhere, are you afraid that I will think of something and kill you?" Su Yun sneered and turned around, the rabbit hurriedly chased after him, but was thrown by Su Yun by the ear On the wall, a flower of blood bloomed on the snow-white wall immediately, and the rabbit slid down the wall with a limp body, obviously knocked hard all at once.

"..." Su Yun stood there in a daze, her eyes suddenly clear.He looked at all this in disbelief, as if he didn't understand what he had just done.The unlucky rabbit quickly turned back into a human form, trying to cover up the injury on its head with one hand, while holding his shoulder with the other, "Ahyun!"

Su Yun blinked strenuously, but her usually indifferent and cold eyes were covered with a hazy mist at this moment. "I'm sorry..." His vision went dark, and he fell forward, being supported by Xu Yang.

This unexpected episode unintentionally eased the tense atmosphere. Xu Yang quickly healed the wound, and when he looked at Su Yun again, there were signs of waking up.

Xu Yang hugged him in his arms, no longer hiding the pain in his eyes.Although Su Yun always has a straight face on weekdays, he still can't erase the aura that a young man in his twenties should have. He will also be afraid, tired, and will not know what he did wrong, and even regret when he did something wrong. But what capital does he have to make up for his own mistakes?

There is a weak demon living in his body, which cannot be removed, but it will not forcefully occupy his thoughts and exist.

Seeing Su Yun's eyelashes tremble, the eyes that slowly opened were harmless and fragile.Xu Yang said softly, "Are you awake? Ning Sheng has found brother Zhuang Qin's current residence and has already left. Would you like to take a rest?"

As he spoke, Xu Yang took a cup of warm water and handed it to Su Yun, watching him sip it.

"Thank you." Su Yun's head hurt a little, "Would you like to explain to me what's wrong with me?"

"It should be because you have stimulated the demons in your body by mobilizing your spiritual power frequently in a short period of time. I said that it is not a good thing."

"Then what is he?" Su Yun didn't rest for a long time before preparing to leave. Xu Yang went back to the house and brought him a slightly thicker coat, hung it on his arm, and went downstairs to drive.

"It's a remnant of your previous life, and it didn't dissipate because of the deep resentment, but he won't be strong enough to interfere with your life." Su Yun glanced at Xu Yang who was driving seriously, and then said, "But he seems to be I hate you very much."

"Because I killed him."

...

The name of the water ghost is Zhuang Qin, who passed away 20 years ago. His parents are one of the best figures in the county. They have been officials for many years with integrity and integrity, and have won numerous praises.Now there is only one son left in the family, named Zhuang Cheng.

The news about the cause of Zhuang Qin's death back then was classified as an accident. Ning Sheng used special means to check on the intranet, but there was nothing worth digging into.Fortunately, there is one more thing worthy of their attention.Zhuang Qin's parents once tried their best to respond to the country's one-child call, aborted their child who was about to be born, and won praise from their superiors.

But if it is true that Zhuang Qin's parents are so law-abiding as the information shows, then where does Zhuang Cheng come from?You know, Zhuang Qin and Zhuang Cheng are not siblings.

There are many doubts at the moment, but Ning Sheng is the only insider who made Ning Sheng half dead. It is impossible to explain for them, and Su Yun can only go to see it before making plans.

When the car slowly drove into the destination, Su Yun was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect Zhuang Cheng to live in a small village.

The village is not big, and you can see a small area of ​​abandoned cropland around it. With the economic development in these years, the small bungalows in the village have gradually continued to have a second floor, which looks like it is in line with the city and heading for a well-off life.It's a pity that people are poor not only in appearance.

I don't know how many times the car inevitably drove onto the garbage dump, and they finally arrived at their destination.It is almost the northernmost end of the village, and the iron gates of the neighboring houses are all locked, which looks dilapidated and empty.

The sky was completely dark, and the street lights only a few hundred meters away couldn't reach here. Su Yun got out of the car in the dark, and a black shadow rushed towards him and scratched his paw fiercely on his shoulder.

Su Yun quickly backed away, bumping her back against the car door, and a shrill meow rang in her ears. Xu Yang didn't know what he was holding in his hand, and stabbed into the black cat's body.

The blood spread to the feet, and it was scalding hot. "Injured?" Before he had time to dodge, Xu Yang had already grasped his arm accurately in the darkness, and rolled up his sleeve skillfully.Looking at the light of the mobile phone, the three bloodstains on the white arm were particularly obvious.

Su Yun didn't care about her injury, but looked at the black cat's corpse on the ground with the light.The black cat died very clearly, but he couldn't see what was hurt.He yawned untimely, but finally decided to give up.

"Go and find Sister Ning first." He said, breaking free from Xu Yang's grasp, walked to the door and knocked.The person who came to answer the door was an old man in his sixties or seventies, holding a palace lantern with a lotus pattern painted on it in his hand.

"It's my friend." Ning Sheng's voice came from behind the old man, and the iron gate opened again to let the two of them in.Su Yun passed by the old man, heard him chasing something in a low voice, but when he looked back, there was nothing.

Su Yun frowned, stopped and looked under the old man's feet, only to see that a circle under the palace lantern that should have been complete was being eroded by shadows, the old man squatted down, the light on the ground became stronger, and the black shadow finally Slipping outside, the old man quickly closed the door, blocking the way of the shadow.

Su Yun didn't know what that black shadow was, but he was sure it couldn't be anything good.Because of his special physique, he decided to make a quick decision. He lowered his head and looked at the time habitually, it was twenty o'clock.

The author has something to say:

Rabbit (groaning): It hurts...

Su Yun (downcast eyes): I'm sorry

Rabbit: to comfort

Su Yun: ...Okay

Rabbit: want to kiss

Su Yun: ...Okay

Rabbit: want to hug

Su Yun (impatient): ok

Xu Yang: I want to go up

Su Yun: Okay... Get out!
