Strange Story of Strange House

"At that time, I almost lost all hope. I thought of Xiao Yang's words, he was not dead when he fell, why didn't they save him, I held my phone tightly and didn't dare to let go, for fear that I would cry in the back seat of the taxi Come out, that's too ugly. I don't know if I should contact Xu Hengwei, I found that I suddenly don't want to know what the truth is, as long as he is still Zhuang Yao, I will spend my whole life with him, dead or alive."

Lin Chi didn't know how many times Chuning had recalled these clips. When he dreamed back at midnight, would he recall Zheng Yu's cruel monologue and Xiao Yang's crazy smile?

When telling this story, Chuning looked numb. How much psychological construction should a person have to do to be silent and not cry when facing the death of his beloved.

…………

It took a whole day to go back and forth, and when Chuning got off the taxi, the sky had already dimmed.In a daze, he looked up at the room that belonged to him and Zhuang Yao, where he and Zhuang Yao spent the happiest four years in their lives, but overnight, it seemed that all cognitions were subverted.

He saw Zheng Yu's ghost and learned the news of his lover's death. What was the person who had lived with him and doted on him for the past four years?

When Chu Ning returned home, he turned on the light, and the warm light instantly illuminated the whole room. The familiar furnishings gave Chuning some comfort.He sat down on the sofa, and suddenly took out his mobile phone, only to realize that he had squeezed the mobile phone into silent mode just too hard. During this time, there were several missed calls from Zhuang Yao.

When the situation is bad enough, people tend to become very brave.Because things can't get any worse anyway, it's easier to let go.

Looking at the familiar number, Chuning felt a sore nose.He held back his tears, because he still needs to confirm one last thing, whether this lover who has been with him for four years is the Zhuang Yao he has always loved, and if so, he will walk with him regardless of life or death .

——I am extremely sad, I have been living in the illusion of perfection all these years, and you have encountered such misfortune, but I know nothing about it.Thinking of you lying at the bottom of the cliff bleeding all over the ground on that night of thunder and lightning, I can't wait to skin them and cramp them, eat their flesh and drink their blood...

After hesitating thousands of times, he finally made up his mind at this moment. With a tap of his fingertips, he dialed Xu Hengwei's phone number.Perhaps because of the time difference, the phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Xu Hengwei seemed surprised that he would receive an international call at this time, and even his voice could not help revealing a trace of doubt: "Hello? Who is it?"

"Xu Hengwei? I'm Chu Ning, do you remember?"

"Chuning?" Hearing this name, Xu Hengwei was obviously stunned for a while, and then said softly as if sighing, "It's you..."

"I have something to ask you." Chuning tightly held the phone in his hand, he was a little nervous, his heart was beating wildly in his chest, but his voice was still calm.

"Sure enough, you are still here. Do you want to ask about Zhuang Yao?"

"How did you know what I wanted to ask about Zhuang Yao?" Chu Ning's heart sank. Compared with Xiao Yang, Xu Hengwei was too calm. What would he know if he behaved like this?

"Of course I know! Not only do I know that Zheng Yu, Chen Haojian, and Qiao Jun accidentally killed Zhuang Yao and destroyed his body, I also know who killed the three of them!" Xu Hengwei paused, "I also Don't let it go, they all died in Zhuang Yao's hands."

"Impossible!" Chuning subconsciously denied the answer, "Don't you think your answer is inconsistent? You also said that Zhuang Yao was killed by mistake, so how could he kill them?"

"Nothing is impossible. How he slept next to you every night is how he killed those people," Xu Hengwei disagreed. "I saw Zheng Yu before he died. He took a few sips of wine and was not drunk. I think you know better than me how much he drinks. In that state, it is impossible for him to drown in the bathtub. Have you thought about it, Chu Ning? A person who has no suicidal thoughts will drown in the bathtub, yes What a difficult thing."

"..."

"What's more, I saw Zhuang Yao downstairs in Zheng Yu's apartment that night!"

"It's impossible! Zhuang Yao stayed with me that night! How could he appear downstairs in Zheng Yu's apartment?!" Chu Ning seemed to have found a glimmer of hope, and seized this loophole to vehemently refute Xu Hengwei.

"He's already been brought back to life, so it's not uncommon to have someone, right?" Xu Hengwei chuckled lightly, and responded to Chuning's retort, "I won't be returning to China anymore, just ask whatever you want, I'll answer you." Tell you everything I know, but only for today."

"...Why did they kill Zhuang Yao?" By now, Chuning calmed down, sorted out his questions, and asked calmly.

"Well...it's really manslaughter. Zheng Yu likes you, you know this? He wants Zhuang Yao to stay away from you, and Zhuang Yao found out about Chen Hao's embezzlement of the student union's public funds. He wants to find Zhuang Yao for accommodation. , make up the money, and hope that Zhuang Yao will not report him. Qiao Jun is not a big deal for joining in the fun, so the three of them went to find Zhuang Yao together, and a conflict arose when they disagreed, and they pushed him down by mistake." Xu Hengwei raised his voice. , teasingly said, "Zhuang Yao's eyes can't rub the sand the most. They are afraid that Zhuang Yao will make this matter big. The three of them are arguing there, and the best time for rescue has been missed. Zhuang Yao is dragged to death by them just like that." gone."

"Just for this reason?" Chuning's eyes turned red in an instant, and his clenched teeth were trembling all the time. He hated it, he had never hated it like this before, "How dare they...how dare they!"

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious. How did Zhuang Yao come back to life? If you have a chance, ask him for me?"

"You think it's very interesting?" Chu Ning suddenly lowered his voice, Xu Hengwei couldn't keep up with his thoughts, and was taken aback for a moment.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Watching all this with cold eyes is like watching a farce, and then watching everyone is doomed. You know everything, why don't you say a word!"

"Because I found the belief that I really pursue and I can dedicate my whole life to." Xu Hengwei's voice suddenly became very distant, as if he was recalling, and Chuning couldn't hear the muttering behind him, and he didn't want to hear it anymore .

"...Unreasonable!" Chuning hung up the phone neatly.

"Heh..." Xu Hengwei calmly dialed another number when the busy signal appeared on the other end of the phone, "I am Xu Hengwei, and Chu Ning has found me... Everything is as you wish, my Lord Demon."

Devil, what a beautiful word.After hanging up the phone, Xu Hengwei narrowed his eyes and fell into very good memories.

That was the day Zhuang Yao died four years ago.He witnessed with his own eyes that the outstanding student president was pushed off a cliff because of a dispute with someone.The perpetrators blamed each other for prevarication and missed the best rescue time.At that time, he witnessed the whole process, but because of his cowardice, he did not show up. Although he was not the main culprit in Zhuang Yao's death, he was the one who refused to save Zhuang Yao.

He hated his cowardice back then, but he didn't regret his inaction at all. Because of his cowardice, he saw the most shocking scene in his life.

After Zhuang Yao's death, the perpetrators panicked, and Qiao Jun stopped them from calling the police.He is the vice president, and when Zhuang Yao retires, he will be the president.He signed a contract with a well-known company early, and was waiting for graduation to work. His future is bright and there is no room for flaws.

"No one knows that Zhuang Yao is here, except us." They found tools and buried Zhuang Yao in this wilderness, but they didn't know all this, Xiao Yang, who was hiding in the dark and trembling, took a photo... After that, Xiao Yang returned to the dormitory as if fleeing, shivering under the covers.The three of them went back the same way and made sure to destroy all the clues about Zhuang Yao. Even God was helping them. The torrential rain covered up all the evidence.

Xu Hengwei thought he was not a bad person. Although he was cowardly and did not dare to come forward, he still couldn't bear Zhuang Yao's death. So after the two groups of people left, he prepared to approach Zhuang Yao's burial place and offer his meager apology .And at this moment, he suddenly saw a man.

A man in a black robe and mandarin jacket, holding an oil-paper umbrella, walked in the heavy rain without dripping on his body, showing no signs of distress.When he passed by Xu Hengwei's hiding place, Xu Hengwei saw his face clearly, it was an indescribable face, with a sharp and handsome outline as sharp as a knife, coupled with a pair of eyes like abyss.Xu Hengwei had seen quite a few outstanding men, but none of them could compare to the man in front of him. His outstanding appearance and imposing manner firmly caught his attention.The man strolled in the courtyard, and finally stopped in front of Zhuang Yao's grave...

"Do you want to live? Are you willing to make a contract with the devil?"

the man asked softly.His voice was deep and pleasant, like a heavy drum beating on the eardrums, Xu Hengwei had no time to think, only to see a pale arm suddenly break through the ground.

The man took that hand and easily pulled Zhuang Yao up from the dirt.

"I am willing." Zhuang Yao knelt on the ground with an extremely firm voice.

"My surname is Shen. You can call me Mr. Shen. The contract between you and me has been signed. Now, I will give you a new life..."

That's right, on that rainy night, he witnessed Zhuang Yao becoming a demon.

Xu Hengwei smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the skull next to the phone, and stroked it affectionately.And behind him, there was a huge banner with a strange totem drawn on it.An insider can see its meaning at a glance - the demon Dantalin.

They call people who believe in this totem a devil worshiper.

"After hanging up the phone, Xu Hengwei sent me a message with the coordinates of Qiao Jun's body." Chuning sighed, "I rely too much on Zhuang Yao on weekdays, and I only care about our little family but alienate my friends. At that time, I was sitting at home blankly, but I couldn't find anyone to talk to, and finally, I called my cousin Chen Ling."

"He suggested that you come to me?" Lin Chi guessed.

Chu Ning nodded: "But there are some things that I can't say clearly on the phone. He won't be able to come back after going to another place for an internship, so let me come here to find you first."

"What did he tell you?"

"Actually, although I accepted his death, I still haven't figured out what kind of situation Brother Yao is. Is it a human? Is it a ghost? Or something else...Chen Ling said that you are better at this, I am here this time, on the one hand, I want to find someone to talk to, and on the other hand, I want to understand his current situation."

Lin Chi just had more yin and yang eyes than ordinary people, so he couldn't tell what he was ugly and Yinmao. He stared at Chu Ning for a long time, finally compromised, and went upstairs to rescue the soldiers.

Facing Lin Chi's request, Lou Damei has always been very talkative. After listening to Lin Chi's retelling, he pondered for a moment: "I only have a rough guess about Zhuang Yao's current situation, and I need to confirm it before I can draw a conclusion." I heard from your friend that he has the address where Qiao Jun's body is hidden, if possible, I would like to confirm it."

Lin Chi conveyed this to Chuning. After thinking for a moment, Chuning readily agreed, "To tell you the truth, I originally planned to go to the place where Qiao Jun hid his body."

After finishing speaking, he dug up the message: "Xu Hengwei said that Qiao Jun was hidden on the top floor of an abandoned building in the suburbs. The detailed address is..."

After an hour's drive, they came to the abandoned building. Chuning took a deep breath and walked in first.Xu Hengwei's coordinates were very accurate, and they easily found a pair of human skeletons in an unfinished cistern on the top floor.

After seeing the skeleton, Chuning was stunned for a moment, and took a few steps back, obviously feeling uncomfortable to face the corpse.He turned his head away, trying to calm down his discomfort, after a few deep breaths, he asked Lou Qi: "What do you need to confirm?"

Lou Qi walked towards the corpse, and stood still in front of the corpse. From the corpse, he felt a faint demonic energy. After that, he nodded to Lin Chi, ready to leave.At this moment, Chuning suddenly bent down to pick up a stone, and walked towards the corpse, enduring the discomfort.

"Chuning?" Lin Chi looked puzzled as he walked over tremblingly, then raised a stone and threw it at the corpse, venting his anger with all his might.

"Don't stop me, I'm here to do this, I hate it, how dare they treat Zhuang Yao like this..." Chuning smashed the bones again and again, and quickly deformed them.Lin Chi was taken aback by this sudden situation, and it was not until Lou Qi reminded him softly that he came back to his senses, stepped forward to hold Chuning's arm, and pulled him away from the skeleton with all his strength.

"I can't wait to crush him to ashes," Chuning cried out suddenly, as if his suppressed feelings for a long time finally found an outlet, he sobbed, "How could he just watch Zhuang Yao die there, How could Zhuang Yao take care of his junior so much on weekdays, how could he have the heart..."

Chu Ning cried hoarsely, Lin Chi was at a loss for helping him, so he turned to Lou Qi for help.

He tugged on Lou Qi's cuff: "Let's help him?" Lou Qi couldn't stand his pleading eyes like a small animal, he sighed helplessly, and with a wave of his hand, the bones on the ground suddenly ignited spontaneously. It was burned to ashes.The top floor was very windy, and the ashes were blown away by the wind in a short while, leaving nothing on the ground.

Qiao Jun never left any trace in this world.

On the way back, Lou Qi told Chuning his analysis——Zhuang Yao is a monster.Chuning thanked him, and then remained silent.

Lin Chi sat with him in the back seat. He was thirsty on the way and sent his beauty to buy water. At this moment, Chuning suddenly said, "Thank you for today."

"You're welcome, you are Chen Ling's elder brother. By the way, should I drop you off now?"

"...I'm not ready yet." Chuning shook his head.

"Psychological preparation?" Lin Chi asked curiously, "What kind of psychological preparation do I need, how do I get along with a non-human being?"

"It's about the same... If he is a demon, when I am seventy or eighty, he will still look like this?"

"What do you think about so much? How do you get along now? Haven't you all gotten along in the past four years?" Lin Chi said calmly, "Do you know why Chen Ling asked you to come to me?"

"Why?" This question successfully aroused Chuning's curiosity, and this man, who looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, perked up to continue the conversation with Lin Chi.

"Because I can see ghosts, and I was raised by ghosts."

"what?!"

"When I first entered junior high school, I was abandoned by my biological parents. My adoptive father is a ghost. He adopted me and brought me up. For me, he is my real relative. This is the same as him. People are ghosts, it doesn't matter, he is my most respected elder. Life is to see if I find the right person, not who I find. In other words, although my biological parents are human beings like me, they To me, it's worse than a ghost." Lin Chi smiled, "I grew up from a child to what I am now, but my dad is still the same as when I first met him, but I have never worried about the problem you are worried about. The world is impermanent, who knows when you will leave this world, hesitant about this kind of thing, and miss the time with your lover, isn't it stupid?"

After hearing Lin Chi's words, Chu Ning was thoughtful.Seeing this, Lin Chi pointed in the direction Lou Qi left: "He is my lover..."

"Hey! Is he your lover? You too..." Chuning glanced at Lin Chi in surprise, as if he didn't expect that he also liked the same sex.

"Yes, he is my lover." Lin Chi's shy smile showed a little pride, "In my eyes, he is very powerful, beyond the limit of my imagination for a human being, and sometimes he will whisper in his heart , Is he a human being after all? But from another perspective, it is better if he is not a human being. When I die, only my soul is left, and he can still see me and stay with me. The days we can spend together are not just a lifetime, How nice!"

Chu Ning fell into deep thought, and when Lou Qi came back, Chuning let go, and asked the two to take him home along the way.Before getting out of the car, he thanked Lin Chi again: "Actually, I have already thought about it. No matter what he is, I will spend my whole life with him. I just got into a dead end all of a sudden. Thank you for enlightening me."

After sending Chu Ning away, Lin Chi went to the front seat and hugged Lou Qi's arm: "Beauty, I have thought a lot about Chu Ning, and we should talk to each other about what we have in the future, so don't let each other go blind." I think it's a bit of a hassle."

"I'm glad you have such an awareness, but can you explain to me, the title?" Lou Qi looked at Lin Chi with a half-smile.

call?Oops, I accidentally called out "beauty"!Lin Chi chuckled, ready to get away with it: "Honey, don't worry about such small things."

"You!" Lou Qi stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Lin Chi's nose, "I'll deal with you when I go back."
