C3

Every day since then, when I fell asleep in class, Bai Jing would suddenly wake me up with a voice that scared me awake. At night, he would also appear by my side, unmoving, and gradually, I also got used to it, no longer panicked by his sudden appearance.

Just like this, a week had passed. Today, I had another elective class. Although there were a hundred who didn't want it, I still braced myself and went to class.

The abandoned teaching buildings on both sides of the road were covered with climbing tigers, a sea of lush green that glowed in the moonlight. Some of them even reached up to the stone steps, but I avoided them as much as I could, as if they were alive and ready to suck me in.

"Drip, drip, drip." I realized that the voice was coming from her, and my heart was filled with terror, even more so than when I met Bai Jing. The voice was coming from the blood dripping from her hair onto the floor, and yes, it was the blood and the long mark on her back was also bright red, giving off a strange glow.

I curled up on the ground and hugged myself tightly. Tears rolled in my eyes as I continuously retreated until I leaned against the wall behind me. I kept shaking my head as I shouted, "No, no!"

When that woman was only a meter away from me, she slowly raised her head. Her face was pale without a trace of blood, and there were many scars covering most of her face, making her look extremely sinister. Her eyes were hollow as she stared fixedly ahead, as if she was looking at me.

She looked at me, grinned, and said, "There's a double, hahahaha." Her voice was hoarse and sharp, every word was like the sound of a wooden saw. It was so cold that it seeped into the marrow of one's bones.

Trembling, she lifted her hand and reached it toward me, trying to touch my face. Her hand was covered in spots, and she was so skinny that only bones remained. Her fingernails were very long, but they were filled with dirt.

Her hand came closer and closer to mine. I could smell the blood on it and it stank. I felt sick to my stomach and her face twisted. She took a step back and slowly stood up.

"Hur Hur Hur Hur." Her hair was suddenly in the air, and with a wave of her hands, all of the hair flew towards me. It wrapped around my neck, and the tighter and tighter, as my body was slowly lifted off from the ground and suspended in the air. I used my two hands to peel off the hair, but to no avail.

Just as I was about to suffocate to death, the jade pendant hanging on my neck suddenly released a golden light. The hair that was wrapped around my neck was shaken off, and I fell back to the ground, lying on the ground as I violently coughed for a long time before finally being able to recover.

Seeing that his attack failed, female ghost started to become berserk, he released many roars, and started to attack me crazily. The jade pendant released another gold light, causing female ghost to be shaken until the ground shook, and he started to sob.

Suddenly, a black cloud covered the moon and the light dimmed. A black mist came out from underground and spread to female ghost and my surroundings. Gradually, the mist started to disperse and a black clothed person appeared out of thin air.

I couldn't see his face clearly. He bowed towards me and said, "Thank you psychic envoy for submitting the vengeful spirit to the Underworld. I'll bring her back to the Underworld right now and send her back into reincarnation."

I looked at him blankly before looking around to confirm that he was talking to me. I quickly waved my hand. "What do you mean?"

He raised his head and when I saw his chin, I could infer that the man was still handsome. "The communication jade you're wearing, you're obviously psychic envoy." He spoke again, in a low voice that seemed to come from endless hell.

I shivered and pointed to the female ghost on the ground. "How can she be like this?"

"She died a tragic death in front of her, and after her death, she was unable to be drawn into the Infernal Realm in time. Thus, her soul floated around in the mortal world, absorbing the world's resentful aura and gradually transformed into a vengeful spirit, harming people's lives."

I nodded my head, as though I understood what he meant.

"Envoy, I need to send the vengeful spirit back to the Underworld as soon as possible. I'll take my leave first." After the black clothed man finished speaking, he disappeared into the endless darkness of the night, and the female ghost also disappeared along with him.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight cast a white halo over the surrounding buildings.

"What's going on?" I patted the dirt on my body and touched the wound on my neck, "Sss, it hurts so much, I'm done. How am I going to explain this to Su Ye, ah." I scratched my head in frustration as I looked at my surroundings. I turned my head around and walked back to the main road.

The atmosphere on the main road was no longer gloomy. Occasionally, there would be pedestrians passing by. Avoiding scaring passers-by, I let my hair fall over my head, covering the wound on my neck as I hurried forward, thinking about what had just happened.

As I walked, I came to the door of the geese tower. Looking at the broken stone arch, I couldn't help but walk in.

After experiencing the washing up of history, the geese pagoda had become a little shabby. I quietly looked at it and thought back to the past week. I felt that my heart had been continuously exhausted.

At this moment, a pair of red boots entered my sight. I raised my teary eyes to look at Bai Jing, who was looking at me with eyes full of pity and pain. My tears broke the dam again, and Bai Jing pulled me up into his embrace.

"Why did you let me go through this?"

Bai Jing's hands wrapped around my trembling shoulders, and his voice was filled with helplessness. "Xing'er, I have my reasons."

He lifted the long hair on my neck and when I saw the wound on my neck, I felt his whole body brimming with anger. His face darkened as he carefully slid his hand across my wound.

I touched my smooth neck and wondered.

"Xing'er, I won't let anyone hurt you in the future!" His gaze was firm, and I forcefully swallowed back the words that were about to leave his mouth.

Looking into his eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse him. I could see myself in his eyes.

When I returned to my dorm room, the moment I opened the door, Su Ye pounced over, "Xiao Xingxing, why did you just return? You didn't even pick up the phone, if you didn't come back, the loli and I would have gone to find you."

I tried to smile. "Teacher came out a little late today."

"Yu Xing, why do you have so much dust on your clothes?" Lolita dusts my clothes for me.

I smiled embarrassedly. "I fell. It's fine."

Afraid that they would continue their questioning, I rushed into the bathroom to take a bath.

After the shower, I lay on the bed as usual insomnia, after a long time did not see the white image of the figure, vexation patted on the head, thought what, he did not come better. He forced himself to close his eyes and slowly fell asleep. Perhaps he was too tired from today.

However, I did not know that after I fell asleep, Bai Jing appeared at my bedside, silently watching me for a long time, stroking my face, and then lying beside me, embracing me.
