Familiar voices, familiar embraces, the strong smell of blood, and the last thing that caught sight of Xun Ye was the bloody face.
A very long dream...
In the dream, there is my mother who is no longer very clear, there is Hong Gu in red, there is Ye Yangze who has a gun pointed at me, there are little grapefruit, old monsters, jade locks... and the monsters and ghosts that I have dealt with over the years.
.
Past experiences are like watching a movie, those images are constantly playing in my mind.
Finally, the picture freezes on an evil face. No matter how many times I have seen it, this face is still so handsome that I almost forget to breathe.
But why do those dark and deep eyes look so lonely and sad?
Xunye wanted to reach out and wipe away the loneliness on it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the picture turned into Hong Gu's smiling face.
"Xiaoye, be happy..."
The black mist gradually surrounded Honggu, the familiar voice became more and more distant, and the feeling of emptiness that was gone forever woke Xunye from his dream.
"Scared..." Xunye suddenly sat up from the bed. She felt hesitant and touched her wet face. She remembered that she had had a nightmare.
The window was tightly blocked by curtains, and only a little sunlight came in through the cracks to let her know it was daytime.
"Hong Gu..." Xun Ye suddenly turned over and got out of bed. Her tired and weak body made her fall on the bed, but she couldn't care so much, so she got up and walked outside.
She hoped that the memory of last night was just a dream, the ghoul did not arrive, Hong Gu did not leave, and Morpheus... was not injured.
Turning the corner of the stairs, Xun Ye stopped. From this position, the situation in the lobby on the first floor was clearly visible.
The empty windows, the tattered furniture that hadn't been cleaned up yet, everything told her clearly that it was not a dream.
The ghouls have been eliminated, Hong Gu is gone, and Morpheus is injured.
The strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant. Xun Ye slumped down and sat on the stairs, tears flowing silently.
When Yusuo came out of Xiaoyouzi's room, he saw Xunye with dull eyes and silent crying.
"Sister Xiaoye?!" Yusuo called out worriedly.
Xun Ye suddenly came to his senses and wiped the tears from his face with his hands.
"Master..." Xiaoyouzi heard Yusuo's voice and walked out of the room. He was limping with a strap on his shoulder, "Master, don't be too sad, Aunt Hong..."
"I know." Xunye twitched her lips with difficulty, walked down the stairs, and first went to burn incense for Sanqing Tianzun. When she looked back and saw the empty bowl on the table, she was a little stunned.
There is still a little leftover soup from yesterday in the bowl, and the rich taste seems to still linger on the tip of the tongue, but the person who made the soup... is no longer there.
Xiao Yuzi looked towards the lower part of the stairs. Xunye followed his line of sight and saw the particularly narrow door.
"He's inside." This was not a question. Xunye took a deep breath and walked over.
Please knock on the door, and a voice that is much hoarse than usual comes from inside.
"Xiaoye..."
Xunye pushed the door open and went in. The dim light made her a little uncomfortable.
There was a rustle coming from the narrow bed, and the person on the bed seemed to be sitting up.
"Don't move." Xun Ye walked to the bedside, but the face in his memory could not be distinguished clearly because of the light.
Morpheus stopped moving, lying quietly on the bed and looking at this little woman who made him feel pain in his heart and lungs.
After a moment of silence, Xunye finally asked what was in his heart: "Why...why did you do that?"
Although the situation last night was dangerous, it was not difficult for the monster to avoid the harm of the ghoul.
"This little injury is nothing." Morpheus's voice was a bit self-deprecating.
Xunye listened to his words and didn't know what to say for a while. After a long time, she whispered: "Thank you."
"Are you going to find him?" Morpheus's eyes were flashing with a terrifying light in the darkness, but Xunye didn't notice it.
Xunye felt a throbbing pain in her heart, but remembering Gu Gu's last words, she still became cruel, "He is my destined person."
After saying that, she got up and went out. When she reached the door, she paused and said, "Recover from your injuries and leave."
Until the door is closed, there is silence behind you.
A door cannot separate two people.
Morpheus twitched his lips in the darkness, "What a cruel little woman...ahem...but only with such a character can you completely give up on that stupid destined person..."
In the next few days, Xunye stayed at home quietly and recuperated.
Standing in front of the bedroom window, she looked at the large banyan tree with sparse leaves. She sighed deeply in her heart, "Old weirdo, Aunt Hong doesn't want to see you like this."
"Don't worry, I promised her that I will always protect you." The old monster's voice was calm, but the sadness in it was so heart-wrenching.
Xunye looked at the gloomy sky. The gloomy air that enveloped the land had not weakened because of the disappearance of the ghoul.
"We may... still have a tough battle to fight..."
The reason why Uncle Gui turned into an irrational ghoul is because of this human epidemic.
If the cause of the epidemic cannot be solved for a day, Xunye will not be able to live in peace for a day.
"The gates of hell are tightly closed, and there will only be more and more ghosts lingering in the world. Evil ghosts are rampant, and the people in the world will suffer." The vicissitudes of the old monster's figure appeared in front of Xun Ye, and his dark eyes were dimly illuminated, "You have been separated recently.
There are already enough souls, and I’m afraid it will not only damage your merits, but also your longevity.”
What does it matter if I live a few years less?! Xun Ye thought in her heart but did not say it out loud. She thought of Ye Yangze. If the two of them could come together and grow old together...
She shook her head slightly, and found that she could not imagine what it would be like to get along with Ye Yangze forever.
But after all, she and Ye Yangze haven't seen each other for many days. According to the situation last time, the matter at the bank cemetery will not be forgotten like that, so why hasn't she seen any police coming to trouble her in the past few days?
Woolen cloth?!
"Master, come and take a look." Little Yuzi's voice came.
When Xun Ye went downstairs, Xiaoyouzi and Yusuo were staring at the TV.
"Many incidents of unprovoked injuries to people have occurred in various places. According to expert analysis, these incidents have nothing to do with the epidemic. They may be caused by people's excessive emotional stress..."
"It's an evil ghost!" Xun Ye looked at the TV screen and frowned tightly.
It has only been a few days, but has the situation already reached this point?
"All of them?" Little Yuzi widened her eyes and asked worriedly, "Then what are we going to do..."
"bell……"
The monotonous ringing of the phone interrupted Xiao Yuzi's words.
"Hello, this is Xunye." Xunye answered the phone, and when he heard the other party's voice, his eyes suddenly felt astringent, "Auntie..."
