The cold water splashed on her face, which was still hot, and the water dripped down along the edge of her face, a little on the sink, and more along her neck onto her clothes, blurring a small piece of dark color.

She took a deep breath, turned on the faucet, and looked up at herself in the mirror, just as a drop of water landed on her eyelashes.

With the movement of her eyes blinking, she fell into the pool and disappeared without a trace. Under the orange light on the top of the bathroom, her eyes were a warm brown color, which was indeed beautiful, but these eyes were not on. The usual smile is only blank.

Intuition tells her that she should follow her heart, but her heart is a mess, a mess, she can't tell whether those emotions are born of the past self or the present self, but one thing is not bad, at least she doesn't have to Confused about whether they like her now or her past, because the answer is obvious.

Or maybe she shouldn't have distinguished the two so clearly.Since they are essentially one person, missing a few memories may not change anything, however...

"Alas—" she held the sink with both hands, feeling so helpless for the first time, she just felt that she was in a whirlpool, she didn't know where she came from, the way forward, and there was a sword of Damocles hanging over her head at any time, He was killed by an unknown person at some point.

However, she doesn't have to be too nervous, after all, everyone assured her that she would be safe and sound.

Because she is just an innocent person who was affected by the storm. The one who was really caught in the storm was probably Gojo Wuxia Youjie or Mr. Dazai. They were not nervous, and they were free to help her find bodyguards or come to meet her. Confession, then what can she be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Momozawaka's heart barely settled down, and the ostrich mentality that has rarely appeared recently has made a comeback again, and the water droplets on her face have almost evaporated when she was thinking.

At this time, someone came out of the bathroom and walked to her, and the sound of water flowing briefly appeared in the quiet place. Momozawa pursed her lips, and when she turned to leave, her hand accidentally hit something the other party put on the stage. .

"pat-"

The thing contained in the small box slid a long way across the tiled floor.

Momozawa hurriedly took a few steps forward, squatting down to pick it up, thinking it was something like a tube of lipstick or a cigarette case.

But after seeing it clearly, I found out that it was a wooden box with a seal. It looked old, so I didn't know if it was deliberately old.

But since it belonged to someone else, she didn't think too much about it. She picked up the small box and handed it to the lady who had already washed her hands.

Because of embarrassment, the girl's cheeks blushed slightly: "Sorry, I knocked out your things."

"It's okay."

The woman in front of her smiled, and at this moment, Momozawa Xiang could see her appearance clearly, she was dressed very fashionable, she didn't look like she was here to gamble on the horses, she seemed to be attending a banquet, the only strange thing was that she was still in the room Wearing a top hat, it covered most of her forehead, and the shadow cast by the wide brim also covered most of her face.

While talking, the lady took the small box from Momozawa Xiang's hand, as if she felt that it was strange to meet such a young girl here, she wanted to avoid her walking steps, and smiled sideways He asked: "You are young, do you also come here to bet on horses? How is it? Do you win a lot?"

Although he was surprised by the other party's accusation, but because the other party had a good temperament, and because he dropped her things just now.

After a short hesitation, Momozawa nodded, and answered her question with embarrassment: "Well... almost never won."

After all, there are so many horses, and it is impossible for her to bet on all of them. If she only picks two or three horses, she will definitely not be able to bet.

After listening to her words, the lady only deepened her smile a little, she raised her slender fingers and pressed the top hat, Momozawa could only see her dark eyes during her movements.

Then the lady lowered her eyelids first, and said in a brisk tone: "Then the next bet of seven may win."

"Eh?"

"If you can make a bet, don't thank me if you win, because..." At this point, for some reason, her words were suddenly hidden in the silence, and the smile on the woman's face couldn't help but widen, making her look It was more gentle and beautiful, "It's rare to come here, young people should cherish the time when they can be happy."

Before she finished speaking, she left with a smile on her face, leaving only the brown-haired girl who didn't quite understand her words standing there, watching the woman's leaving back, Momozawa pursed her lips, not thinking much .However, no matter what her reason for coming, it doesn't matter if you believe her.

She thought so, and then walked out of the bathroom. When she went out, the woman had disappeared.But Xia Youjie was standing on the railing at the end of the corridor waiting for her.

Originally, he was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, seemingly not paying attention, but the moment the girl appeared, he smiled at her and took a few steps towards her, as if to greet her.

It is precisely because she knows that he is always outside, and that he will definitely appear if something happens, that Momozawa has the confidence to talk to a strange woman for so long without being afraid.

However, at this moment, the small box that she accidentally knocked off before flashed through her mind again. It looked like a worn-out small box with a seal.

But Momozawa thought about it and didn't think about what it could hold in there, only belatedly aware of the ominous.

Just looking at the situation they are in now, they can't be too vigilant.

Thinking so, she walked towards Xia Youjie and casually wanted to mention this to him.

"Jay, I just met—"

However, just after she uttered a word, Momozawa felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her whole body went numb, as if someone had shocked her and pierced her heart with a knife while she was paralyzed, but when Momozawa Xiang trembled in this terrifying sense of familiarity and lowered her eyes to look at her chest, only to find that it was still intact.

There was no blood, no knife, just pain for no reason, but it was not without reason, because it seemed damn familiar.

It came from the depths of the soul, and the pain beyond time fell on her again for no reason.

It is pain without a wound, but it is more painful than death.Because she won't die because of it, it will never end, she didn't know what she was going to say before, her fingers grabbed the neckline fiercely and was about to lean forward, but Xia Youjie fell down faster than her.

He caught her, put his arms around her shoulders, helped her to sit half on his kneeling lap, so that she could half lean on his body, Xia Youjie didn't come until he touched her face that suddenly turned pale It turned out that he would tremble and be afraid after seeing so many deaths.

In the pain, Tao Zexiang could see his purple eyes shrunk suddenly because of nervousness, Xia Youjie held Tao Zexiang's hand that was desperately grabbing the clothes to relieve the pain, but she couldn't restrain herself at this moment, She dug her nails into the back of his hand very hard as she gripped him back, but he didn't realize it.

This little pain was nothing at all, he could only support her shoulders, seeing that her lips, which were bright red just now, were bleeding from her bite, he let out a breath, and forced himself to gently open her chin with his hands, letting her Stop torturing yourself and be afraid that she will bite her tongue in pain.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, not to let the panic spread out and make her more frightened.

"Xiangxiang, where do you... hurt? Chest? What kind of pain?"

He tried his best to inquire carefully, hoping to find out whether she was suffering from an unknown disease or was attacked by a curse or ability.

But it was only after he made a sound that he realized that he was so obviously afraid.

Afraid that she would die just like that in front of him, afraid that someone would die again and he couldn't stop it, and this time there was no opponent in front of him.

Even thinking about the pain caused by such consequences made him unbearable, he was angry, he even hated, but he couldn't vent in front of such a fragile girl in his arms, he could only endure it.

Momozawa moved her lips, trying to answer him obediently, telling him about the woman she just met, but she couldn't say anything, as if someone had strangled her throat, making her unable to make a sound, just panting It took a lot of effort.

Because of the pain, physical tears welled up in her eyes, and she subconsciously leaned back.As she blinked her eyes fell from the corners of her eyes, across her temples and into her long brown hair.

And this is not the end, because Momozawa saw his face change in the dim eyes of tears.

If it was said that he was still suppressing the panic just now and not knowing where her pain came from, then now it was the anger that grew from the bottom of his heart after realizing the culprit, and almost burned everything out.

He was holding back, but the unconsciously tightening and subconsciously loosening fingers exposed his heart. He saw a curse spreading from Tao Zexiang's hands and chest, climbing up, as if trying to quickly devour her weak body.But in the next moment, he was stopped by his spell power, and it was blocked in the initial state.

It's just a seed.

Xia Youjie immediately understood what kind of curse this was. If the mother's body was not killed, the parasitic filth in her body could not be exorcised no matter what method was used.

But exactly because it is in a state of nothingness when it is not sprouting.So the six eyes couldn't see through it, or it was actually planted in the few minutes when Tao Zexiang left his sight, Xia Youjie couldn't tell for a while.

But now is not the time to trace the source, because Momozawa, who has always been just an ordinary person, obviously cannot bear the pain between life and death anymore. If it continues, the person who cast the curse will not be the first to be destroyed. It was her precarious nerves.

Thinking of this, Xia Youjie almost wanted to laugh. He hated the other party's extremely vicious schemes and the possibility of allowing such a person to take advantage of the loopholes. He hated, but laughed at himself more.

He pursed his lips, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but such tears were born of pain, and the pain was more than tears and would not stop, so his actions were in vain.

In this posture, Xia Youjie recalled the way Tao Zexiang was lying in his arms and hooking his neck and smiling coquettishly a long time ago. At that time, her cheeks were flushed and she whispered his name.But now her face is as golden as paper, and she can't even pronounce a single syllable.

He remembered that when he first met, he laughed and she would always cry every time he met him, but later he would not, because he always wanted to see her laugh rather than shed tears.

Even when she was crying, she looked pitiful and cute, but Xia Youjie preferred to see her happy, chirping like a bird, always talking beside him, compared to her fragile beauty in pain.

Later, when she was by his side, she always had more happy times, but now, after a long time, she was crying in such pain again.

It's like the sum of all the pain before, as if to make up for the tears owed to him every time we met before.

he should suffer...

He is also in pain.

For his inability to do anything, for his carelessness, for everyone knew that she would be in danger and she was clearly prepared but not completely complained.

But it was too painful, Xia Youjie's heart was stretched to the limit, so that he showed an extreme calmness.

"Go to sleep." Xia Youjie tried his best to soften his expression, and even forced a smile.

While speaking, he tried his best to move his palm from the brown-haired girl's shoulder to the back of her neck, and squeezed it gently, "It won't hurt when I wake up, Xiangxiang, everything will be resolved."

Everything will work out.

he thought so...

Someone must pay the price.
