Chapter 26 - Wishing to Die

My muddleheaded mind instantly sobered up, as if a pot had exploded. That's right! Zhao Xue had not only said those two words once, but because I had never heard of them before, I unconsciously ignored them …

I quickly got up from the floor, scrambled to my computer and pressed the search button.

As the browser progressed, my heart almost jumped out of my throat. I had never been this curious about one thing, what it was, what it was, what it was that made Zhao Xue so confident that she would break through all obstacles and end her life?

However, when the page appeared, my heart sank to the bottom. On the large page, there were a few large gray words: What you were searching for doesn't exist or has been deleted.

It doesn't exist? I think it was thought to have been deleted

So, I tossed and turned for a long time in the early morning. Don't tell me the result is that this thing no longer exists!

Feeling a little unreconciled, I walked out of the room and entered the courtyard. My waist and back really ached from sleeping so late at night.

As I stretched, I bumped into the old man again. The old man ignored me, but the curiosity in my mind was burning. Since Shen Ta is a little Daoist, then isn't this old man an old Daoist?

Thus, I walked in front of the old man with a smile and asked, "Grandpa, good morning!"

I was going to ask this in a conversational tone, but when I saw the old man's expression change, I knew I had failed.

The old man's smiling face darkened. He flicked his long sleeves and walked past me. After a few steps, he stopped and said, "If you want to know, ask his father!"

His father? Oh, this is talking about Shen Tuo's father. I almost forgot, Shen Tuo's father is a Feng Shui gentleman, if he knows Feng Shui, then he should know a little about these things.

But then again, even after coming out for so long, I still haven't seen Shen Tuo. Where did that fellow, Shen Tuo go?

I called him, but there was only a cold female voice on the other end, informing me that Shen Ta's phone had been turned off. I had no choice but to call Bai Weiwei.

Strangely, no one picked up on Bai Weiwei's end.

I looked at my watch. It was half past five in the morning. I was just worrying that I wasn't familiar with this place and I didn't even know my way out when Shen Tuo walked in from the main entrance with a few boxes of breakfast in his hands.

I took a box of fried spring rolls and gulped down a few mouthfuls of soy milk before asking, "Do you have a clue about the stuff you checked on the computer?"

I was just casually asking since I had nothing better to do. Since I need to check on the internet, that means that even Shen Tuo doesn't know what this is. Furthermore, I didn't find anything on the internet, so naturally, Shen Tuo still doesn't know anything.

However, I didn't expect that Shen Tuo would actually have such a confident look on his face. He heavily nodded his head at me and said a single word: "En."

Looking at Shen Tuo's appearance, his wounds seemed to have almost healed. However, it was still difficult to recover from his internal injuries, so I estimated that it would still take some time.

"I just went back to my parents' home."

I realized that he had not been here since early morning, and he had gone off to call for reinforcements.

Shen Tuo carried the other stuff in his hand, walked into the house and gave it to the old man, then left without saying anything. I had a vague feeling that this family was also at odds.

"A wish to die? I also didn't expect that Zhao Xue would actually make a wish to die." "What a pity!"

"A wish to die is a wish from the dead vengeful spirit to use its own power to kill the person who wrote the name that it wished for. After that, it will also use its own soul to exchange for these people's eternal life."

After Shen Tuo finished his breakfast, he lit up a cigarette and took a long drag. He then threw the ash onto the ground and blew out a smoke ring.

"I really didn't expect Zhao Xue to be like a madman. She actually would rather have her soul dissipate to make these three girls pay the price. However —

Saying that, Shen Tuo stared at the burning cigarette in his hand, not knowing what to think.

"But what?" I was extremely anxious in my heart, but Shen Tuo was still trying to keep me in suspense. How could I not be anxious!?

Shen Tuo looked at me with interest. Only now did I realize that this fellow was teasing me.

Seeing my downcast face, Shen Tuo continued speaking.

"Zhao Xue probably doesn't know that the vengeful spirit that made a death wish must abide by a rule, and that is to not harm the lives of innocent people." After saying that, Shen Ta stopped, as if she was waiting for me to figure it out.

I soon understood — although Zhao Xue didn't do it on purpose, Bai Yating's death was ultimately Zhao Xue's fault. In other words, she had already violated the rules, so her wish to die no longer existed. All of this was left undecided after Bai Yating's death.

It seemed that Zhao Xue probably didn't know about this. Otherwise, why would she be so full of confidence because she'd made a death wish?

I couldn't help but feel a little sad for Zhao Xue. She's already dead, but she didn't even let go of her own soul. At this point, she probably knows that there's no other way out for her.

Unknowingly, we had been chatting for more than half an hour and our legs were numb. Just as I was about to stand up, my phone suddenly rang.

I looked at the screen — it was Bai Weiwei.

I suddenly had a bad premonition. It was Bai Weiwei who called me so early in the morning. Could something have happened?

Shen Tuo grabbed my phone and picked it up first. I saw Shen Tuo's face darken a little, and couldn't help but shout out, "What!? You said that Su Xiao is dead?! "

What? Su Xiaoxiao died

It was as if a string in my head had snapped, and I sat down heavily on the spot, unsure for a moment what to do. As for Shen Tuo, he threw his phone at me and shouted at me, "What are you waiting for? Go to the hospital!"

Until we rushed to the ward, the doctor had not moved Su Xiao's corpse due to Bai Weiwei blocking our way.

However, the moment I saw Su Xiao's corpse, I almost cried out in alarm — Su Xiao's corpse was exactly the same as the night before, with the same frightened expression on her face as when she was attacked by Zhao Xue.

Su Xiao's eyes were wide open, and it looked as though her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. She looked as though she were scared to death!

'Could it be that Zhao Xue came again last night? '

I looked at Shen Tuo in shock, but Shen Tuo seemed to be discouraged. He seemed to be mumbling something, which I was unable to make out clearly.

"I was careless."

I lowered my head in confusion. Although I didn't know what Shen Tuo meant, I knew that it wasn't a good time to be suspenseful. Next up, he would definitely explain everything clearly.

Sure enough, a moment later, Shen Tuo spoke again.

"Actually, although Zhao Xue has already left, the process of Soul Search is not over yet. Zhao Xue's attraction towards Su Xiao's soul still exists. If Su Xiao's willpower wasn't strong enough and she lost control of her own soul, then it was highly likely that her soul would continue to be absorbed by Zhao Xue.

I understand, humans are made up of three souls and seven souls. Even if a person loses one soul and one soul, they would become delirious and unconscious when they were in serious trouble.

"What I didn't expect was that Su Xiao's survival consciousness was actually so weak that her soul was easily attracted to it!"

I understand Shen Tuo's feelings, but I also think that way. He is clearly a person who cares about his life, yet at such a crucial moment, he died so easily.

Although I couldn't quite accept the fact that Su Xiao died, Shen Tuo seemed to have quickly adjusted his mood. He took a deep breath and exhaled deeply. His dejected expression immediately became spirited.

He raised his head to look at Bai Weiwei, who was frightened speechless. He forced out a smile and said to her, "Student Bai Weiwei, although I am also very regretful about Su Xiao's death, at least our mission has become simpler. Right now, we only need to protect you."

Bai Weiwei shrank into a corner, tears streaming down her face. Her lips were pale and trembling.

When she heard his voice, she looked up and gave us a look like a frightened animal. Then she buried her head in her arms and began to bawl.

This reminded me of Su Xiao before, when she first came to see me, she was also like this, unable to say anything. She could only raise her head and cry, and only when she had cried enough and used up all the grievances in her heart could she regain her rationality.

I walked up and covered her head with Su Xiao's blanket. I gave her a deep bow, but the tears didn't stop.

Shen Tuo impatiently handed me a tissue and softly said, "Don't embarrass me. I originally thought you had the potential to practice medicine. Don't tell me I misjudged you."

I tried my best to hold back my tears as I bowed once more to Su Xiaoxiao. As for Shen Tuo, he stood up in a rarely seen manner and performed a military salute towards Su Xiaoxiao.

After a long time, Bai Weiwei finally calmed down. She began to hug her arms and sob as she stood up.

Shen Tuo decided to not let Bai Weiwei return to school. Instead, he sent Bai Weiwei back to his grandfather's house. He also left a lot of spells on the house to ensure that Zhao Xue wouldn't go there again.

While Shen Tuo was doing this, the old man was standing at the side, not saying a single word. The subtle relationship between this grandparent and grandchild is almost a family drama to me.

After finishing all this, the old man entered the house. Shen Ta didn't even have time to drink his saliva and directly walked out the door.

"Hey, Shen Ta, isn't this all done? "What else do you want to do?"

"It's not me, it's us!"

Shen Ta walked in front and waved at me.
