The man with black-rimmed glasses raised his head and looked at the sky, which was getting a little brighter.
"Um?"
Suddenly hearing the voice of her companion beside her, the woman was stunned for a moment before she realized what the other party had said.
"The rain has stopped?"
She subconsciously raised her head, and water dropped from her soaked bangs, falling onto her eyelashes.
She lowered her head in panic, shook her head, then stretched out her hand to squeeze a handful of bangs that had stuck together, and pushed it to one side.
The haziness in front of her eyes made her blink, and water droplets fell.
…
"Mr. Xiao Xiao."
The sound coming from beside her again made the woman look up sharply.
A familiar figure walked out of the woods.
"Xiao-" Mr. Xiao...
As soon as the woman's eyes lit up, she screamed loudly and couldn't help but raise her feet.
"Wait a moment."
The man with black-framed glasses holds the woman's arm.
Seeing the woman's confused look, he raised his chin slightly and said, "Look."
Does she see?
The woman's eyes fell on Xiao Xiao again in confusion.
Hasn't she been watching?
Um?
Mr. Xiao Xiao... didn't look at them.
The woman suddenly discovered.
They were clearly within his sight range, but the other party didn't even give them a look.
What Mr. Xiao Xiao was looking at... She followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and saw Rongrong's tombstone.
etc.
Gone.
She looked startled.
She had never heard it before and thought it was the sound of wind and rain that had obscured the sound.
But at this time, the wind and rain stopped, and the surroundings were quiet. She still did not hear the sound that she thought was Rongrong banging in the coffin that had concerned her before.
what happened?
Is it because of Mr. Xiao Xiao?
She looked at Xiao Xiao again, trying to see something on his face.
But they saw that he was already standing in front of the tombstone with his back to them.
Just like before.
It was windy and rainy at that time, but now a beam of warm sunshine happened to shine on the top of the tombstone.
She couldn't see the photos of her friends clearly.
As soon as she moved her hand, the man with black-rimmed glasses released his hold on her arm.
The woman walked straight towards the tombstone.
The man with black-rimmed glasses followed silently.
…
The woman stood diagonally behind Xiao Xiao.
The man with black-rimmed glasses stood beside her.
None of them made a sound, just looking at the tombstone in front of them like Xiao Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao turned his head and saw that the two people behind him did not show any surprise.
"Let's go back."
"oh."
The woman, who was in the sad mood of her friend's sudden death, subconsciously responded, and then she realized something was wrong and shouted, "Huh?"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Xiao Xiao."
"Are we going back now?"
"we are not-"
The woman paused and did nothing...?
Was it true that nothing was done?
Actually it's not, right?
At least Mr. Xiao Xiao definitely did something during the time he went to the woods just now.
...
"Mr. Xiao Xiao."
The man with black-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses, "You-"
He paused and changed the question, "Is that "dong dong dong" sound... solved?"
"Um."
Xiao Xiao's answer made the man shake his hands, "The purpose of your coming here-"
"Is that the voice?"
Xiao Xiao glanced at the man with black-rimmed glasses and raised his eyebrows lightly, "Yes."
The moment he saw Dao Lao Gui, he knew that he needed to come here.
Humans who are shot by the poisonous gas of Dao Laogei will turn into semi-finished Dao Laogei that is neither human nor demon.
If it is allowed to climb out of the coffin, the people in the village will be in danger.
The reason why he initially wanted to visit Zhang Rongrong's house instead of coming here was because he was not sure whether the half-finished Dao Lao Gui was still in the coffin?
Or-
A human becomes a Dao Laogui. Although it has no memory of being a human, some obsessions still remain, driving its next actions.
Therefore, sometimes obsession is really a powerful and terrifying thing.
He didn't know whether the half-finished Dao Lao ghost that Zhang Rongrong had turned into would return to his parents' home.
In Zhang Rongrong's case, her obsession is probably the nostalgia for her parents.
Out of this consideration, he wanted to go to Zhang Rongrong's home first.
…
"So, Mr. Xiao Xiao."
The man with black-rimmed glasses looked calm and looked directly at Xiao Xiao, "Can you tell us, what is that sound...?"
"Uh-huh,"
The woman nodded at the side, "Mr. Xiao Xiao, I also want to know."
"That voice is not Rongrong-"
Her voice stopped suddenly, and the eagerness on her face was a bit stiff.
Now, she actually knew that the possibility that the sound was caused by her friend suddenly coming back to life was very low.
Even so, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao expectantly, "Isn't it true?"
"It's not what you think."
Xiao Xiao's straightforward answer made the faint light in the woman's eyes dim.
"Isn't it? That's true..."
The woman lowered her eyes and murmured to herself, "How could such a good thing happen..."
When the man with black-framed glasses looked worried and wanted to say something, the woman had already raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xiao again, her eyes burning, "So, what is that voice?"
"How could it come from under Rongrong's tombstone?"
The man with black-rimmed glasses was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Xiao.
He also wanted to know the answer to this question.
…
"That voice..."
Xiao Xiao looked at the two people's focused expressions and said, "It's from an uninvited visitor."
"Uninvited visitor?"
The woman and the man with black-rimmed glasses said in unison, "What is that?"
"Um...why is that visitor in Rongrong's coffin?"
It's hard for women to understand.
…
"It's not in Zhang Rongrong's coffin."
Xiao Xiao corrected the woman, "It's outside the coffin."
"Maybe you're curious about what's in the coffin."
"So I kept banging on the coffin."
"...Is this so?"
The woman's expression was confused.
Her tone was hesitant, revealing a bit of disbelief, but she couldn't tell what was wrong with the other person's words.
Rather than saying there is anything wrong, it’s better to say that the whole statement is wrong, right?
Is this actually the case?
…
"Then why did Mr. Xiao Xiao go to the woods just now?"
"And they specifically refused to let us follow."
The man with black-framed glasses was also skeptical of Xiao Xiao's previous statement, and he continued to ask.
"Because we want that unpopular guy to leave Zhang Rongrong's coffin."
Xiao Xiao explained calmly, "I don't know when it will leave on its own. It would be bad if it caused damage to the coffin and disturbed the deceased."
"Let it go?"
The black-framed glasses repeated Xiao Xiao's words, becoming more confused, "But, how do you make it leave?"
"It's underground."
The man emphasized the pronunciation of the last two words, "And, do you know what it is?"
"What does letting it go have to do with you going to the woods?"
