Chapter 38
Chapter 38
Jing Xuan didn't think about the future.
For him, he must first remind himself of the past and know the cause before he can think about the consequences.
... Then he wandered around the world in a daze for more than ten years, eating, eating, and wandering around, and he still hasn't figured out who he is, let alone "what to do in the future".
He has a "casual" temperament in his nature, if Xie Ran hadn't suspected him, he might still be able to continue to float down with ease.
But Xie Ran's question obviously has another meaning.
"Do you want me to come back?" Jing Xuan stared at Xie Ran and asked.
He felt that he seemed to be vaguely expecting that when he treated him as a good friend at first sight, the other party could feel the same way.
Soon, he saw Xie Ran nodded.
Jing Xuan finally couldn't help but twitched the corner of her lower lip: "I just want to figure out who I am... maybe it's easier to remember when I go to the ghost world."
"That's it..." Xie Ran lowered his head and thought for a while, "There are many ways to go to the ghost world, I don't know how the ghosts get there, in my case, I need a suitable gathering place to open the way to the ghost world. The gate of the Santu River. It’s not easy to find the Yin Gathering Place, if you really want to go, you might as well wait... until the Ghost Festival, then just follow the night-walking dead souls.”
On the Ghost Festival, the gate of ghosts is closed.
This so-called "ghost gate" is actually the gate leading to the ghost world.
There is still more than a month until the Hungry Ghost Festival is full, which is not a long time. Jing Xuan should be able to wait.
Moreover, Xie Ran thought, if there is an interval of more than a month, Jing Xuan might think of something in the middle of the trip, so there is no need to go again.
Because of past encounters, he actually has some shadows about the ghost world, and subconsciously hopes that everyone around him will not go there.Especially during the years of fleeing, except for some familiar guests, he only had Jing Xuan who could be called a "friend", and he didn't want him to go.
Jing Xuan didn't say yes or no, she just nodded her head, indicating that she understood.
Then he turned into black mist on the spot, ready to get into the wall to rest, like so many days in the past.
Xie Ran stopped him: "Hey——"
Jing Xuan stretched his head back: "Huh?"
"That..." Xie Ran licked his dry lips, he also seemed to find that the sentence was a bit out of date, "These flowers are not 'broken flowers' to me, please don't say that again .”
Jing Xuan raised his eyebrows high: "The person who gave you flowers is very important to you?"
"That's right." Xie Ran nodded, as if he didn't want to say much, "...it's a gift anyway."
"Understood," Jing Xuan pursed his lips, "But, would you give this kind of wild flower that can be seen everywhere to someone who is important to you?"
Yin Tan is certainly beautiful, but it is too common.
Xie Ran was taken aback.
Before he could recover, Jing Xuan had already disappeared into the crack of the wall, and for a while, only his last voice remained in the air: "If it were me, I would at least send a mountain to the 'important person'." Only in the dark cloud."
Xie Ran: "..."
He shook his head, set up the drawing board and went to draw.
When non-human races lived in the human world, they all liked to observe humans, but Xie Ran stayed for a long time and was already familiar with human society, so there was nothing special to do in the afternoon when there was no business, so he would just casually like now draw something.
Unexpectedly, a very special guest came in the afternoon.
Zhan Huabin.
He came to thank him, although he didn't know how Xie Ran did it, but Gan Qiuli woke up in the hospital and recovered well.
Xie Ran thought of the dissipated consciousness, shook his head and said no thanks.
He really didn't do anything, but gave Cheng Cheng a chance, and that stunned boy chose to use this chance to understand the root of their family's tragedy.
After going through a series of things, Zhan Huabin didn't dare to treat this cold-looking young man with a student-like face as an ordinary person, so he thanked him sincerely, insisted on putting down the gift he brought, and talked for a while before leaving.
One day later, Xie Ran went to the hospital to visit Chu Yao, the patient was still lying in the intensive care unit, Chu Rong was so busy that he only had time to say hello to Xie Ran.
The police were still running back and forth in the hospital. It seemed that the case of the Chu family was not the only case that needed to be investigated. Xie Ran was a little surprised. He walked around the inpatient department and found that the hospital was more sinister than he had imagined. The middle ones are heavier.
In the nurse's station, there were still young nurses chatting softly: "Is there more and more people suffering from strange diseases recently?"
"Yeah, another one was brought in yesterday who was inexplicably comatose. After a full body checkup, it was found that one was malnourished..."
These conversations were hidden in the footsteps of passers-by, if it wasn't for Bai Ling's ears, it would be really hard to hear it with someone else.
Xie Ran picked a corridor with a window at the end, and walked to the window in a low-key manner.
"Hello." He tried to shout, "I know you're here."
After the quarrel yesterday, Jing Xuan has not shown up, but Xie Ran can always feel the other party's breath lingering around, it seems that he has not left for a while.
He wasn't sure if Jing Xuan had listened to him.
But it's enough not to go.
Before going out today, he also heard the slight movement of Jing Xuan coming out of the studio from a distance, and he could also feel that the other party followed the hospital all the way, and then didn't enter the inpatient department, and drifted outside.
When I used to be alone, I didn't think that once I had a "friend" who could go in and out together and chat from morning to night, it would be a bit uncomfortable to return to the state of "walking alone".Xie Ran clearly came to visit Chu Yao, but his attention was always outside.
He faintly heard a conversation.
"talk."
"...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohood..."
"Stop talking nonsense, then how do you usually go back and forth?"
"There aren't that many ghosts that come in and out all the time... Oh, don't, don't fight..."
……
"Jing Xuan?" Xie Ran shouted again.
The conversation came to an abrupt end, and after a while, Jing Xuan's illusory figure revealed a silhouette in midair.
"Why?" he asked.
"who are you talking to?"
"No one."
Xie Ran looked at him suspiciously, and Jing Xuan looked at him calmly.
After a long while, Xie Ran gave up first: "I'm a little uncertain, I want you to come and have a look."
He beckoned, made room for Jing Xuan, and signaled him to enter the hospital.
"What's the uncertainty?" Jing Xuan slipped in along the window.
Xie Ran: "I think the yin here is heavier than usual, come and take a look, is there any problem?"
Yin Qi and Yang Qi exist in the human race at the same time, maintaining a delicate balance. When a person is sick and weak, Yin Qi is stronger, so places like hospitals always feel particularly cold, which is normal.
However, in the hospital at this time, Yin Qi has exceeded this "normal" standard, coupled with some recent events, Xie Ran wondered if these people were also trapped by the ghost clan.
Even if borrowing someone's hand, the actions of the ghost clan will leave some traces. Xie Ran is not sure, so he wants Jing Xuan to take a look.
Jing Xuan, who was in the state of spirit body, visited the inpatient department much faster than Xie Ran. He came back within 2 minutes, and pondered: "There are some problems."
"That……"
Xie Ran just said a word, but was interrupted by Jing Xuan: "Since there are ghost clan's handwriting, then leave this matter to me." He narrowed his eyes, "Those who break the rules always have to pay some price, right? Is it?"
As he spoke, he turned into a black mist, swept away from the hospital like the wind, only made Xie Ran's hair and clothes flutter, and then fell down again.
Xie Ran: "——Huh?"
He looked back, the corridor window was still the same window, but Jing Xuan's aura had already left.
This... what's going on?
When did he become so aggressive? ?
The police investigation took several days to come to the conclusion that it was a competitor of the Chu family who kidnapped Chu Yao.That opponent happened to be competing with Chu Rong for the bid of a major political-business cooperation project recently. Seeing that Chu Rong was very upset, he hired a group of people to give Chu Rong some color.
However, as the newly appointed general manager of a large company, Chu Rong is surrounded by bodyguards when he goes in and out, so it is difficult to do anything.A group of desperadoes squatted for nearly half a month without finding a chance, and were about to give up, when they met Chu Yao, who was tired of studying at home, sneaking out of the villa to play, and kidnapped them like this.
After dragging for half a month, the bidding has been decided to belong to Chu Rong, and the kidnapping is actually meaningless.However, since the competitor's money was spent, there was really no reason to get it back, so he planned to disgust Chu Rong and asked someone to torture Chu Yao and throw him in the abandoned factory.
The other party thought that with Chu Rong's wealth and background, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone, and there would be no problem if he tortured him. He didn't expect that the group of desperadoes he hired were too experienced in committing crimes, and their whereabouts were so hidden that the police didn't find them for a long time. People kill.
Fortunately, according to the clues provided by Chu Yao after waking up, the police quickly caught this group of desperadoes, including two wanted criminals who were at large. In order to fight for a reduced sentence, they voluntarily confessed to their employer's information, and a farce was collected.
Afterwards, the police found Chu Yao and thanked him for helping to catch the wanted criminal. Chu Rong was also there at the time, and after receiving a compliment, he turned around and found Xie Ran.
This time Xie Ran didn't paint, but he helped Chu Rong solve the problem in a more satisfactory way. He was not stingy, although he didn't intend to offer his finger bones, but after hearing that Xie Ran needed bones, he got him two sets The complete beef bones came, and he also said that if you need bones in the future, you can call him at any time.
In this way, it temporarily solves the problem of nourishing the Yin Epiphyllum. Xie Ran doesn't need to use his own demon bones to support him, so he won't quarrel with Jing Xuan... Thinking of this, Xie Ran realized that he had hardly seen Jing Xuan in the past few days .
Except that Xie Ran would appear every day before going to bed, during the day this ghost clan seemed to be missing.
...Could it be that you really went to check on the ghosts who attacked the human race?
On weekdays, Xie Ran helps customers solve problems, and Jing Xuan follows along to help, so that Xie Ran even forgot that he is a high-ranking ghost.
The high-level ghost clan judges the merits and demerits of the dead soul, and also judges the right and wrong of the ghost clan.
Xie Ran suddenly wanted to see him very much.
"Jing Xuan..."
Xie Ran spread out his palms, the black pupils reflected the blue flames in his palms, and his original emerald green pupils were vaguely illuminated.
His expression showed a bit of persistence in the flames.
"Don't just say nothing..."
"Just leave without permission!"
He quickly retracted his palm, and the flame extinguished immediately, however, there was still a pinch of small flames that were still burning, and he popped them out with one finger——
He hastily locked the studio door, followed the direction of the flames, and chased them out.
