soul seeker

Ten years later.

On the second day after reporting to the superior, Taohua delivered the red ring.

"Oh, your complexion is so bad." Yingchen looked at the haggard Taohua in surprise.

"Well, because I haven't slept well for several days." He closed his eyes and pinched the center of his eyebrows with his hands.

"What? God can also suffer from insomnia?" Yingchen said excitedly looking at her own red ring in her hand.

"Because of rushing to work, the tail ring has not been finished yet, and the number of tail rings has to be matched to make the soul formula. If I go to bed at the same time as before, I don't know when it will be delayed before handing it over to you.

"What is Soul Formula?" Wu Ci asked before Yingchen asked curiously.

"To help you find the evil spirit. Don't talk about it. I'm in a hurry. I'll explain it when I hand it over to you next time."

After speaking, he activated the reincarnation door and went back.

On the second day after getting the red ring, Wu Ci took Yingchen out of the Tongzilou while he had no time to do the task, and found a place with more birds to start the next step of practice.

"Okay, let's go here. You should know how to activate the red ring, right?"

"Ah, of course, haven't you eaten pork and seen pigs running? Besides, haven't you explained it before, mind, mind..." Although he said so bravely, he was wearing a red ring His hands were shaking like he had Parkinson's.

Although Wu Ci who was standing next to him was so teased that he wanted to laugh, his face was still as usual, "Let's start."

As he spoke, he knelt down and picked up a stone, "When I throw a stone, you activate the red ring and start practicing bird catching, do you understand?"

"Yeah." Yingchen got ready.

"Don't be so nervous, anyway, you can hold on for two or three minutes at most."

"Ah? Why? I won't give up if I don't persist for an hour or two!"

"I hope so." Wu Ci smirked lightly and threw the stone.

The moment the stone touched the branch, Yingchen activated the red ring without losing the chain, and concentrated all his attention.

For the first ten seconds, he was immersed in the power of the Red Ring Hades, but within half a minute, he felt as tired as he was when he ran 500 meters in junior high school. After that, it was not as good as Wu Ci expected In two or three minutes, less than a minute, he fell from the tree to the ground like a deflated ball.

Seeing this, Wu Ci immediately stepped forward to help him turn off the red ring, and said with a smile, "It seems that I overestimated you."

"Ah...I forgot...you will be very tired after using the red ring...so dizzy, dizzy..." Yingchen raised her trembling hand to grab Wu Ci's shoulder, and suddenly smiled nervously, "But now... you can finally pay me back..."

"Return? Return what?" Wu Ci was puzzled.

"Of course I carried me!" Yingchen yelled with the last of her strength, "Do you know how many times I carried you when you fainted! It's so dead!"

"That's it, but how do I remember that you were only carried on my back twice?" Wu Ci smiled and put one hand into his back bend, one hand through his knee bend, and the other hand he picked him up and walked back.

In the park, there was no one else but the two of them, so Yingchen yelled loudly in his arms: "It's the back! Who wants a princess to hug me! It looks like I'm weak!"

"Shut up and sleep with me. Next time, if you want, you can hug me too, as long as you can hug me."

Yingchen fell asleep before even rolling her eyes.

five years ago.

The senior high school entrance examination has ended, but the results have not yet come out, and the two sisters are still immersed in tension.

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong..." Xiao Xu muttered while peeling an apple.

"It shouldn't be a problem." Xiao Mian was playing with her mobile phone, "Anyway, the answers are already correct, as long as our memory is correct, there should be no problem."

"Well, I know, I know, but I just can't feel at ease." After peeling the apple, Xiao Xu leaned back on the back of the sofa, split the apple in two, and handed half to his sister, "I don't know if it will happen this time." Same as before?"

"It should be. Anyway, we do this every time in the big exam." Xiao Mian took the apple and started to chew.

"What are you talking about?" The man came back from get off work.

"We are talking about scores. We are talking about whether it will be the same as before, and the scores will be the same when the big test comes."

Five years later.

At night, Yingchen, who was lying asleep on the sofa in Tongzilou, woke up.

He was a little dazed at first when he couldn't see Wu Ci, and then quickly remembered.

A few hours ago, when he was in a drowsy sleep, Wu Ci woke him up and told him that if he didn't come back when he woke up and he had no other tasks, go to the park to wait for him and continue practicing .

After waking up, Yingchen got up and walked to the park as Wu Ci said.

When crossing the street, I found that the shops on both sides were decorated with lights and festoons. After looking at the advertisement information printed out and the Chinese knots, red lanterns hanging everywhere, and the festive music blowing ears, Yingchen suddenly realized Well, it's almost time for the Spring Festival.

When he passed by with his head down, the faces of his grandfather and sister kept appearing in his mind.

Ever since he was sad when he went back to the nursing home, he listened to Wu Ci and stopped thinking about it, but the atmosphere made him have to start thinking about it again.

When he arrived at the park, he found that Wu Ci had already arrived.

"Hey? Didn't you want me to wait for you?"

"Because this mission happened to pass by here, so I came here directly."

"But what if I don't come for a mission during the period?"

"I can't wait for you for a while, so I'll go back. Okay, let's start."

"Hey..." Yingchen sighed and looked at the red ring on his hand that he had been expecting for a long time before waking up, so he was about to faint again, "Uh, Wu Ci, when you first started practicing, it was the first time How long has it been? Just like me, it hangs up in a few tens of seconds?"

"Better than you, 1 minute."

"Hey... I fell asleep for almost seven hours after only a few tens of seconds of practice. When will I be able to fight like you for a few minutes before fainting?"

"Practice more, there is no other way, the more the body is in contact with the underworld, the stronger the tolerance will be."

"Oh, yes, it's no wonder that you fainted that time and Wei Bai was able to hold on. After all, he is a thousand-year-old ghost, and he is probably old enough to have mixed with Mingwen."

Wu Ci couldn't help laughing, "Well, it makes sense." He knelt down and picked up a stone, "I won't talk anymore, it's a waste of time. The second time should be better than the first time."

"Hey wait a minute!" Yingchen waved his hand and shouted to stop, "It's night now, although the birds are still in the trees, but there are not many street lights here that are good, what should I do if I can't see them?"

"Oh, yes, you haven't tried it yet. You'll know when you activate the red ring."

"Is there a night vision function?" He muttered and activated the red ring, and the surrounding scenery was as clear as daytime, without any visual impairment.

"Start." Wu Ci threw a stone to startle the flock of birds.

five years ago.

Xiao Mian held her and her sister's admission tickets, nervously looking at Xiao Xu who was on the phone to check the scores.

Xiao Xu hung up the phone, turned to look at her with a heavy face, "We..."

Seeing her expression, Xiao Mian felt a "thump" in her heart, wouldn't she?

"The test is the same score again, and the score is not low."

"Then you have such an expression!" Xiao Mian angrily smashed the admission ticket on her chest.

"Scared you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, their class monitor called. After chatting about their grades, they asked them if they wanted to come out to sing. The whole class went back. Of course, those with unsatisfactory grades would naturally be absent.

"Going?" Because the hands-free was turned on, Xiao Xu on the side could hear it, so Xiao Xu nodded, "Okay."

As they grow older, they also have to accept gossip from the outside world. After all, if the two sisters are too close, it’s okay for children, but it’s too weird when they grow up, so they began to hand over some friends other than each other and participate in Class gatherings and so on, although I still feel in my heart that it doesn't matter if I have them or not, and it won't affect anything.

Five years later.

The result of the second practice was indeed better than the first, but it was only five seconds longer than the first.

When Yingchen woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day. He was lying on the old sofa in Tongzilou. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Ci leaning over his face with his arms propped on the armrest of the sofa, fists in his hands, Resting his mind with his cheeks closed and his eyes closed, he realized at this moment that he was resting on his lap.

"Are you awake?" Wu Ci slowly opened his eyes, reaching out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Yingchen's eyes, "Do you miss your family again?"

"Ah?" Yingchen was in a daze, "How do you know?"

"Talk in your sleep. You've been talking all night."

"Well... I saw the decorations on the street before... isn't it the Chinese New Year? Do you think Yingxi and Jin will take grandpa to their home for the New Year this year? Because if grandpa is left alone in the nursing home Is it pitiful?"

"It's none of your business," Wu Ci said angrily, frowning slightly, "Don't forget, you are already a deceased person."

"...I know." Yingchen said while turning over and lying on his side, "but I just can't help thinking about these things."

"It's still early. There should be people doing morning exercises in the park. They won't be able to do it for the time being. You can sleep a little longer." Wu Ci propped his chin on his hand and looked out the window, but put his other hand away. On Yingchen's shoulder, gently hold it.

summer vacation.

Jiang Xu and Jiang Mian returned to the city where they were born. Because it was the eve of the Chinese New Year and everyone was free, the middle school classmates took advantage of their free time to hold a class reunion.

It was too late by the time the participation was over.During the period, everyone was persuading each other to drink. My sister used the trick in elementary school and drank two drinks by herself, so as to prevent both of them from getting drunk and unable to go home.

Jiang Xu helped Jiang Mian to walk to the main road, because there was only a taxi there.

"Oh, don't make trouble. You can only get a taxi by going to the front. It's snowing, aren't you cold?"

"No!" The drunk Xiao Mian staggered around Xiao Xu, because of the stimulation of alcohol, she felt that the music in her head could really be heard, and she couldn't help shaking her hands and feet. He raised his sister's hand and wanted her to dance to the melody just like himself.

"Ah, be quiet! This is the side of the road!"

"What's the matter? I didn't drink too much!" Unexpectedly, within a few seconds of saying this, she slipped on the thin snow and leaned back.

To make matters worse, her hand was still holding on to Jiang Xu's hand. Xiao Mian's weightlessness drove Xiao Xu's body, and Xiao Xu was thrown out. Whether she was heavy or the effect of alcohol, drowsiness surged up suddenly, and the moment she was about to close her eyes, she saw two dazzling lights getting brighter and Jiang Xu popping out, and the sound of brakes was the harshest in her ears When she lost consciousness.
