"Yan Nuo, Yan Nuo, wake up!"
I immediately recognized it as Shen Tuo's voice! Hearing Shen Tuo's voice, it was as if I was suddenly pulled back to reality from the underworld where I was protected. Yes, I no longer have the time to waste here. Of course, I can't live under the protection of Sang Ming for the rest of my life.
I turned around and saw that Zi Sang Ming seemed to have realized it as well: "Zi Sang Ming, Shen Tuo is calling me, I should go back now."
I lifted my foot and walked out. As for Sang Ming, he stood at the side with his arms crossed, as if he was watching a good show. It wasn't until I had reached the main entrance of the main hall that I finally reacted. Facing the pitch-black darkness outside the main door, how am I supposed to go back?!
I turned around and looked at Zi Sang Ming. "How did I get here?"
It was probably because my ignorant appearance was really funny. Zi Sang Ming, who always spoke coldly, actually laughed unconsciously. Naturally, I wouldn't let him mock me, so I lifted my foot and kicked him hard in the calf.
However, Zi Sang Ming didn't seem to be interested in my physical attacks. It was only then that I remembered that this extremely handsome guy before me wasn't a normal person. He probably didn't feel any pain at all!
Just as I was at a loss for words, Zi Sang Ming suddenly cupped my face with both hands with a serious expression, as if he had something important to say. I raised my head obediently and waited for his words.
"Remember to stay away from that man called Shen Tuo!"
Hearing this, I ruthlessly rolled my eyes at him. I didn't know what to say …
"Remember, with this king's protection, you won't die!"
Before I could finish my words, I felt my body sink. The Zishan Ming in front of my eyes became more and more blurry until it finally became pitch black and my surroundings became completely silent …
In the darkness, everything became so quiet. It was as if I finally had time of my own, and could finally calm down and think about what happened in the past few days. Or rather, what I experienced after coming out of Shen Tuo's room.
I was standing in the darkness, and it was strange that I should be able to see myself. But apart from my unexpected surroundings, it can be described as nothing at all.
Fortunately, I need such an environment right now. There were no sounds of Bai Weiwei's weeping, Su Xiao's terrified face, or Zhao Xue's bloodthirsty laughter. In such a world, I felt more secure.
I relaxed and sat cross-legged on the floor. The events of the past few days flashed through my mind, forming a clear time line.
I sorted everything out and figured out everything except one thing. It didn't make sense to me.
Since Zhao Xue already knew that her wish to die failed, then why didn't she stop? Was her hatred even more important than the weight of her life?
I know that everyone has different values, but I don't think that a ghost would treat human life like grass. After coming into contact with Zhao Xue a few times, I felt that something was wrong, but when I thought about it in detail, I seemed to be at a loss. I didn't know where my main focus was.
Just when I was having a headache thinking about it, the voice of Zi Sang Ming suddenly appeared in my mind.
"Ghosts are like humans, they wouldn't consciously kill innocent people, unless …"
Zi Sang Ming's voice suddenly stopped, but in my mind, it was as if a certain line had suddenly been connected.
"Unless she loses consciousness!"
Zi Sang Ming probably felt that I was finally a "child to be taught". He chuckled and continued saying: "Right, when I fought with her, I found out that she is now a puppet that takes revenge. Besides revenge, she doesn't have any other thoughts in her head."
Then why? Could it be that it was simply because her grievances at the time of her death were too great that she could not remember anything but revenge after her death?
Before I could ask, Zi Sang Ming had already opened his mouth: "Not only do humans have two sides, ghosts, as the form of a person's existence after death also inherited this characteristic of a person. That is to say, Zhao Xue originally should have both good and evil qualities in her, but clearly, she's only evil now."
I, who didn't know anything about the theory of yin and yang, could only understand the literal meaning behind Zi Sang Ming's words. As for the deeper meaning hidden within his words, with my current level, I probably wouldn't be able to understand it. Perhaps it was precisely because I didn't understand that I felt there was something more to his words.
As I consoled myself like this, I kept trying to understand the doubts in my heart.
"Then why is there only one Zhao Xue left now?" Zi Sang Ming, what else do you know? Is there something you want to tell me that's inconvenient? "
I didn't know why, but I had a strong premonition that Zishan Ming would disappear in the next second. In a moment of anxiety, I immediately asked all the questions in my head.
"It's time to go back. The book will give you the answer. "The only thing I can tell you right now is one thing … You and I have both seen Zhao Xue's kindness."
Zi Sang Ming's voice echoed in the empty darkness for a while before it gradually disappeared. However, they left an indelible impression in my mind.
I've seen Zhao Xue's kindness before? However, I've clearly never seen Zhao Xue before. When I see her, she'll already be in this crazy state.
Yin Shu? Right!
As I was thinking about flipping through the book, my hands unconsciously extended forward and opened up. The book in my mind seemed to sprout like a seed, expanding from a small golden dot in my palm until it was the size of a book.
I opened the first page of the book, thinking about my problems, and closed my eyes.
Sure enough, just as I thought, another Shadow Book appeared in front of me. It flipped to the first page of the book, as if it had a consciousness of its own, and a golden light started to wave about.
"The dying wish has not been completely lifted."
"The place of death."
I tried it a few more times, and as expected, the answers were all the same. That is to say, even though the book had given me the answers, in the end, for someone of my level, it could only be considered a hint, like the sound of Zishan Ming's voice appearing in my head from time to time.
However, I can also see that Zi Sang Ming's position in the underworld is probably not ordinary, and he might not be able to interfere in this matter. Being able to help me to this extent, it's not in vain for me to help him bear a child!
As I thought of this, I slowly opened my eyes and closed the book in my hands. The weight of the book disappeared for a moment, then began to shrink until it became a tiny golden dot that disappeared into my palm.
Everything I wanted to do was done, but I was still in darkness. I only knew that I had come here because of Zishan Ming, but I didn't know how I was going to get back to my world.
I dejectedly sat on the floor. I wanted to take out the book to ask for the answer, but I didn't know whether it was because there were too many things in my head at the moment, or whether the appearance of the book really required fate. No matter how hard I tried, my palm was still empty.
I buried my head in my arms and helplessly sat on the ground. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a familiar voice resounding in my ears …
"Yan Nuo, Yan Nuo, wake up!"
It was the voices of Bai Weiwei and Shen Tuo! I was ecstatic. I opened my eyes and happily shouted, "Shen Ta, I'm here!"
However, when the golden rays of light hit my body, causing me to be unable to open my eyes, I realized that this was no longer a dark place. I was currently lying on a bed with a thick blanket over me.
I didn't know how to react and looked at Shen Tuo dumbly. However, I realised that Shen Tuo was also looking at me in shock. Bai Weiwei, on the other hand, chuckled at me. "Yan Nuo, are you sleepwalking?"
A sleepwalk? I don't understand. Touching the quilt that still carried my question, I was even more unsure as to whether what I had just experienced was just a dream.
I raised my head and looked at Bai Weiwei, who was smiling. I was in a good mood as I said, "Weiwei, I'm hungry!"
While Bai Weiwei was out, my expression quickly recovered its seriousness. I asked Shen Tuo, "What exactly happened here?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Tuo actually threw up his hands at me, raised his eyebrows and asked: "You're asking me what's going on? I wanted to ask you something. "
Shen Ta sat down and began to tell me the whole story. It turned out that the moment I walked out of Shen Tuo's room, I had already fainted. Zhao Xue seemed to be afraid and didn't dare to approach this mansion. There was no other choice but for Shen Tuo's grandfather to risk his life to bring me in.
I calculated the time, and when I walked out the door, although it was already dark all around me, it was still only the middle of the morning in my memory. If I remember correctly, I looked up at the sun. I'd been asleep for at least twenty-four hours.
"What 24 hours, you really underestimated yourself!" You've already slept for three days, okay! "
What! After hearing Shen Tuo's words, apart from a moment of shock, I realised something else. Perhaps what I have experienced these past few days isn't a dream, it can't even be called an illusion. It's just that what happened wasn't my physical body, but my soul.
That is to say, if Zi Sang Ming didn't rush over to save me and instead killed my soul, then I, who was in the real world, would have probably died.
I tried to remember, and suddenly realized, and struggled to get out of bed.
Shen Tuo grabbed my arm to make me lie back down, but I couldn't care less. I raised my head and shouted at him, "I have to go back to my dorm. I have something very important to do!"
