Approach 3(1/2)
"It's you!" He glanced in surprise, turned his head and found Fang Yufan looking at him, with confusion in his eyes.
"He saved us..." Fang Yufan said calmly.
Fan Xiyuan nodded and sat down on the backrest.
Outside the window, there is a dark space without any light. If it were not in this iron car, you would not think that this is a fast-moving train. Wherever it is going in this vast darkness, it is really hell.
Is it? He looked at the shadow on the window. There was no reflection of the man who saved them. He was filled with doubts in his heart. At this moment, he was like a calm lake like Fang Yufan, without causing any ripples.
"Tell me, what is your purpose in saving us?" Fan Xiyuan stopped looking at him.
The man was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile: "I saved you because I did too many wrong things during my lifetime, and I also want to accumulate some virtue for myself so that I can have a good place when I am reincarnated."
Fan Xiyuan looked at his hands, which were covered with dust, and said, "Do you know who the boy is in the subway?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "That's not clear. It's the first time I've seen him."
"You lied." Fan Xiyuan breathed, and the dust in his hands immediately dispersed, and the lines on his fingers became clearer, but his expression did not change at all.
The man opened his mouth in surprise and looked innocently at Fang Yufan behind him.
"Actually, when we were on the subway, you already knew that I was not a ghost, but you treated me equally." Fan Xiyuan was still calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
The man looked at him silently.
"Actually, you should know better than me that fooling around has no entity, and you yourself have no entity. The things you can see in your eyes are more real than people. You have no reason to think that I, a flesh and blood body, am also a person who is in a hurry to go.
A reincarnated fool, right?" Fan Xiyuan smiled tiredly, a little sarcastically. Seeing that the man didn't answer, he continued: "Although I don't know the purpose of your doing this, I know one thing.
Kobold... When the old man opened the Door of Destruction, all the ghosts were sucked in, but you were not. On the contrary, you saved the two of us."
"Mr. Fan, you misunderstood me!" The man immediately fell to his knees on the ground.
Fan Xiyuan was a little indifferent. The person in front of him was the ghost who chatted with him in the subway station. At this time, the ghost had begun to feel uneasy.
"Misunderstanding?" Fan Xiyuan's hands trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing the fight in his heart, "That devilish young man has already calculated everything. Once the door of annihilation is opened, we will not be able to escape no matter what, and it happens that
At this time, you appeared and rescued us, so how could we get on this train bound for hell? Is this also a misunderstanding?"
"Mr. Fan, don't you suspect that I have colluded with that boy? It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!" The ghost suddenly panicked and crawled to Fan Xiyuan on his knees, crying and shouting: "Mr. Fan, it's really a misunderstanding.
!”
Fan Xiyuan suddenly felt ridiculous that the man who had saved their lives knelt on the ground and explained to him whether this was a ghost statue. What a great irony.
"Mr. Fan, this is a huge misunderstanding," the ghost said in a voice that was almost pleading: "I did have selfish motives for talking to Mr. Fan, because I did a lot of evil things during my lifetime. I want to be reincarnated."
If you can seek your husband's favor at this time, you won't be unable to become a human being in the next life. Mr. Fan, you have misunderstood me!"
"You are too flattering to me. How can I, an ordinary person, give you a good home when I am reincarnated?" Fan Xiyuan said coldly: "You don't have to make up such nonsense to deceive me. Besides,
How do you know that I will definitely appear in the subway, and how can you recognize me!"
"Mr. Fan, everything I said is true. In fact, it has been almost ten years since I died. The reason why I have been wandering outside for so many years and have not come to ride the reincarnation car is because I am afraid that I will not be able to be a human being in the next life. It was more than a year earlier.
A week ago, I learned that my husband was back, so I hurried back from other places just to ask him to help me." When the ghost said this, his tone became less excited than before, "Sir, you don't know something, but the ghost
There will be a connection between them, which is what you usually call ghost signals. This kind of signal can be transmitted to each other, but not every ghost can receive it. Only ghosts who are destined in the previous life or in the next life can communicate with each other.
Pass on, it’s because I received this message that I’m here waiting for you sir!”
"You mean you came to me after receiving a signal from a ghost?" Fan Xiyuan was a little confused, remembering that Wang Yuanyuan could find him, maybe this ghost had some fate with her in her previous life. Unsure of her mind, she turned around and took a look.
Fang Yufan, who didn't know when he had the gun in his hand, looked uncertain.
"Yes, I have been standing guard at the subway entrance as early as five days ago, just to wait for sir. The soul-suppressing dog can testify for me!"
It turns out that the old yellow dog is called the soul-suppressing dog. Fan Xiyuan thought to himself, but couldn't help but ask: "Soul-suppressing dog?"
"Yes, the kobold before was the soul-suppressing dog. It was mainly responsible for guarding the safety of the reincarnated train, and also..." The ghost seemed a little embarrassed, even afraid.
"what else?"
The ghost raised his head, his empty eye sockets showing determination as if he had taken a reassurance, and said loudly: "Another important responsibility is to suppress the demonic path, guard the human world, the path of life and death, reincarnation, and the three realms of the demonic path. In other words,
It is said that this subway station is the intersection of three roads, not only the starting point of the reincarnation of ghosts, but also the entrance and exit of the devil world!"
The intersection of three paths! The entrance and exit of the demon world!
Fan Xiyuan suddenly felt as if his internal organs had been hollowed out, and his brain felt dizzy. The train seemed to be shaking violently.
"The gentleman asked me before, who is that young man? I really don't know much about it. I only know that there is a king in the devil world..." The ghost's voice was a little trembling, and he continued: "After what happened at the subway station today, this soul-killing
Once the dog dies, it looks like a disaster is about to happen to humanity."
There was a sudden silence in the carriage. Only the sound of mechanical friction could be heard. Outside the carriage was still dark. No one knew where it would go and where it would end. No one knew, and no one asked.
Time passed little by little, and two people and a ghost were waiting in silence, not knowing what they were waiting for, whether it was death, rebirth, demise, or depravity. Maybe there were some things for which it would be better for them to never understand the truth.
But Fan Xiyuan doesn't. There has always been a mystery in his heart. Whether in dreams or in other people's mouths, he seems to have become a key figure. He seems to be able to change everything.
Fan Xiyuan bit her lip and asked, "Why do you keep calling me Mr. Fan? Why do you think I can change your reincarnation?"
The ghost puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Mr. Fan is in charge of the reincarnation of life and is the great god who guards the three realms - King Yaksha!"
The train was still running at high speed, and the atmosphere in the carriage was solemn. Fan Xiyuan and Fang Yufan sat opposite each other, trying to find the answers they wanted from each other's eyes. Fang Yufan spoke very little, with his hands on the table, and the gun in his hand was still dry.
of blood stains.
"Do you believe what he said?" Fang Yufan's lenses were somewhat reflective.
Fan Xiyuan was silent for a long time and glanced at the ghost standing in the distance with his peripheral vision. The ghost nodded to him respectfully.
"I don't know." Fan Xiyuan turned his attention to Fang Yufan and said, "If it were you, would you believe it?"
With a click, Fang Yufan pulled up and put down the bolt of the gun, and blurted out two words: "I believe it!"
Fan Xiyuan looked at him curiously, not sure if what he said was the tone of procedure for handling a case.
"I have no choice. What happened today gives me no choice. This is the first thing." Fang Yufan's tone was very sure: "Second, we are now sitting in the car heading to hell!"
Hell, where is hell? This word that is often used to curse others is now very close to them. Where is it really full of man-eating ghosts and sinful ghosts as people often say?
?
Fan Xiyuan was silent. The policeman in front of him, who values evidence as his life, is so sure now. Does he really think that I am the Yaksha King that the ghost said? For twenty-five years, I have been just a young man who likes the petty bourgeoisie life.
The job I loved, the material life I was living in was not luxurious, but it was satisfying. Now, because of a word from a ghost, I turned into a legendary god, and everything came to nothing.
"But I still don't believe him," Fan Xiyuan said: "Ghosts are just like people. Some words can only be half listened to and half believed."
Fang Yufan looked at him, this young man seemed to have matured a lot.
"When the Door of Destruction opened, it had no reason to escape the disaster, including the two of us. It appeared at just the right time. Not only did it save the two of us, it also took us into a car that it knew was bound for hell.
If the first point is understandable, the latter point is unreasonable."
"What if we had to get into this car at that critical moment?"
"Do you think that since he could save us in that situation, couldn't he escape to other places? Why did he choose to get in the car?"
"Do you still doubt his relationship with that boy?"
Fan Xiyuan was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but I feel like this ghost must know something else."
"You mean why that young man wants to snatch the ghosts who are about to be reincarnated?"
"Yes..." Fan Xiyuan suddenly remembered something again, looked at him in surprise, and asked: "Can you see those ghosts in the subway station?"
Fang Yufan looked solemn, nodded after thinking for a moment, and said: "After entering the subway, I saw those ghosts, which I also find strange."
Fan Xiyuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. There were too many problems in this world that he couldn't think of. He fell into contemplation on another question. If he was really like the ghost said, he was a yaksha stationed in the three realms.
King, if that young man is the king of the demon world, he should be two people who are incompatible with each other. Why does he not kill me every time? What is the purpose of this? This is one. Second, his power is so powerful.
, why did he kidnap Xiao Linzi and threaten him? Thirdly, what is even more strange is why the young man killed all the policemen in the subway but only left Fang Yufan behind?
Fan Xiyuan glanced at Fang Yufan intentionally or unintentionally, but the reflective lenses made it difficult for him to see clearly what Fang Yufan was thinking. This thin policeman was like a sheathed blade, with all its sharp edges. Since the incident at the hospital, he and this policeman had not seen each other clearly.
A strange friendship arose between them. This kind of friendship is wonderful. He is not like the kind of friend who talks about everything with Tan Jun, nor is he the kind of fair-weather friend who plays around. There is a tacit understanding of mutual trust between the two.
occurs among individuals, in various difficulties
Yufan had taken a lot of risks for him, especially protecting him during the hospital incident. The whole thing was hard to believe, but this policeman seemed to trust him very much. Is this just a matter of habit in handling cases? This
There is an elusive side to the police, which is also like a pressure, making Fan Xiyuan a little uncomfortable.
"What are your plans next?" Fang Yufan asked.
"I don't know what I can do after I get to hell." Fan Xiyuan smiled tiredly: "As long as I don't go up the mountain of swords and go into the frying pan."
"Yes, I guess I can also see some acquaintances." Fang Yufan also laughed silently: "The gangsters I shot and captured may be waiting for me in hell, waiting to remove my skin and remove my bones."
"I, the majestic Yaksha King stationed in the Three Realms, am going to die in hell..."
The laughter of the two people immediately made the car feel more relaxed. Fan Xiyuan laughed the most happily, almost to the point of tears. Who knows where hell is and what it is like there? Their destiny is heading there.
In that unknown place, he remembered what a senior said to him when he was an intern at a TV station: When you can't change, try to enjoy it. Although this sentence is a bit far-fetched at the moment, it is still meaningful.
It is a free and easy state of mind.
He laughed and looked out the window, only to find a shadow flashing on the glass, just a flash.
He stopped laughing immediately and looked sideways. There was no one in the carriage, and the ghost was still standing there, looking at him respectfully.
To be continued...
