C46

After Zhao Xue left, I slowly shrunk my body and lay down on the bed.

I kept convincing myself that Zhao Xue was cruel and evil, that she had already killed three people and even swallowed the resentments of countless babies. If I didn't tame her in time, she would definitely bring disaster upon the world.

However, looking at Zhao Xue in front of me, I still couldn't bear to do it.

Maybe I should have taken the hard stone of the operating table. I held the covers tight and closed my eyes.

In the darkness, the same look Zhao Xue shot me when she left appeared in my mind once more. "Tomorrow, take me to look for the Book of Yin. I can go in by myself. That way, it won't be too painful."

The next day, I casually made up an excuse, then took Zhao Xue to my bedroom. Because the weather was clear, I thought that if I held the umbrella in this weather, no one would say anything. Who knew that the umbrella given to me by the old man in the pawnshop was something that ordinary people couldn't see.

Initially, I was a little unbalanced. To think that I was unable to use such a good item.

Afterwards, it was still Zhao Xue's few words that calmed my state of mind: "This is something from the Underworld; naturally, you can't use it carelessly."

When he returned to his dorm, Yan Nan immediately hugged him, "Yan Nuo, are you a man outside now!?" After not coming back for so long, I thought that you wouldn't be coming home with me! "

I scratched the back of my head and chuckled, gently patting Yan Nan on the back. I immediately greeted Jing-jie and An An. I pretended to close the door, and turned around to give Zhao Xue a look. Zhao Xue hurriedly entered, and conveniently put down the umbrella.

"Yan Nuo, you must have worked really hard recently. Don't be in such a hurry to leave now that you're back. Rest for two days."

Sister Jing is indeed a big sister in the dorm. Even her tone of voice is so much like my mother's. She wanted to tease her a little bit more, but she remembered that she had something important to do after returning home. After saying a few words half-heartedly, she ran to the desk and started flipping through the books.

At this moment, An An, who had been putting on makeup, spoke up, "Little Nuo, it took a lot of effort for you to come back. Don't leave. Come, I'll treat you. Let's go eat!"

Then Anthea came running over and took my hand like a little sister.

I helplessly glanced at Zhao Xue. Zhao Xue knowingly smiled and said, "Go."

After all, the other Zhao Xue was still out walking. Although she was wrapped up by Sang Ming last time, she shouldn't have recovered so quickly, but looking at this Zhao Xue's delicate face, I'm worried that something might happen to her.

I had to promise Anthea first, then I found the book and opened the first page. Zhao Xue placed a hand on the book. The next moment, the book started to emit a strong golden light along Zhao Xue's palm.

I looked worriedly at my three roommates. When Zhao Xue saw my worried expression, she frowned. It was obvious that she was enduring pain. However, he still comforted me, "Don't worry. They won't be able to see it."

At this moment, my shoulder was heavily patted. I was startled and quickly turned my head back.

It was Yan Nan.

"You scared me to death!" I was secretly relieved.

It seemed that even though we had returned to the mortal world, I was still unable to relax my guard. It was not only because there was no Zishan Ming in the mortal world, but also because I didn't know where Zhao Xue was right now, afraid that she would take advantage of my carelessness.

"What are you daydreaming for? Come, let's go eat!"

Yan Nan pulled me along with one hand as he prepared to leave. Sister Jing looked at us with a smile and shook her head. An An An held onto Sister Jing's hand as they hopped to the front.

At this moment, Zhao Xue had completely entered the book. Her upper body was reflected on the black page. She smiled at me and beckoned me to go.

I casually fastened the cover of the book before following Yan Nan in a relaxed manner.

I carefully observed Yan Nan. She was just as carefree as before, and I couldn't tell what kind of excitement she received from 'inviting ghosts'. Only then did I feel relieved. It seems that Yan Nan's crying last time was indeed just an illusion technique that Zhao Xue had given me.

"Yan Nan, how is the dorm we went to last time?"

"What dorm?" Yan Nuo, you must be confused! This is the only dorm we have. How long has it been since you last came back? Last time, when the professor ordered your life, I was the one who answered the question for you! "

From the looks of it, Yan Nan had already forgotten that he had lost his mind the last time and almost killed Su Xiao.

I heaved a sigh of relief. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about Yanan.

First we went to the restaurant for lunch, and then we went to KTV to sing with Ann for the whole afternoon. Every time I tried to escape, An An would hold my hand and look at me with her big eyes. "Xiao Nuo, it wasn't easy for you to come back. Why don't you play with me for a while before leaving?"

Sister Jing and Yan Nan stood aside to help An An, so I had no choice but to follow An An's lead and shout at the KTV.

I know that my three roommates must still remember that Chen Ziyue died, but in front of me, they didn't even ask a single question. As everyone knows, because of this matter, I was treated as an enemy by the entire school and had to be investigated together with Shen Tuo.

To be honest, following Shen Ta to investigate now is merely my responsibility and not something that I have to do. But to what extent can my friends accomplish, I am still very grateful to them.

But then, when Anthea pulled me into the bar, I suddenly regretted my gratitude.

I didn't know how many bottles of alcohol An An drank in the bar, but by the time I came out, it was already dark. I could see bright lights everywhere, but they had already turned into blurry specks of light in my eyes.

The four girls sang all the way back to the dorm, and I, drunk, forgot my purpose, lay down on my bed and slept soundly.

In the silence, I felt as though my body had lost all of its gravity and was slowly floating upwards. I absentmindedly opened my eyes and found that I was once again in darkness.

I just stuck my head forward slightly, but it was as if a wind was blowing under my feet. In a few seconds, I had already arrived in front of the object emitting the golden light. I squinted my eyes to take a closer look and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I tried to pull my hand back, but it was as if an invisible force had sucked it in. I couldn't move it, and the blood was slowly flowing from my fingertips.

I stood there like a man possessed, watching my blood flow from my fingertips, forming a thin stream that flowed down a track to the cover of the book.

On the cover of the book was carved a beast I had never seen before, and my blood started from its teeth and slowly flowed through its entire body. The golden light gradually turned into a blood-red glow, blinding people to the point where they couldn't open their eyes.

When I looked again, my wounds had healed, and the monstrous beast on the cover of the book seemed to have lost its fierceness.

"Heh heh."

A voice came from behind me. I subconsciously covered the Book of Yin behind me and quickly turned around.

When I saw Zishan Ming's shining figure, I secretly let my guard down.

"This time, This King is relieved."

Seeing my puzzled expression, Zi Sang Ming didn't express anything and instead explained to me patiently: "After consuming the blood on this Yin Book, you will be able to recognize its owner. Now, you are its owner."

When Zishan Ming said this, I didn't feel like I had a sudden flash of insight. Instead, I became even more confused: "Isn't this Yin book yours? Why did you give it to me so easily? Do you not want it? "

Unexpectedly, after hearing my question, Zishan Ming actually laughed loudly and said, "Even you belong to this king. Say, aren't yours mine?"

Although Zishan Ming's body continued to emit chills from time to time, at this moment, my heart was extremely warm. I let him hug me without saying a word. However, I relaxed and leaned against his body.

"Alright, This King can't stay here for too long. You should keep the Shadow Book safe. If there's anything you need to ask, you can come here and read it."

Just as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt that I had lost my support and became empty. Only then did I turn around and find that Zishan Ming was no longer there. A wave of disappointment unexpectedly rose in my heart.

At some point, I seem to have completely accepted the role of "Zishan's wife". However, there are different paths for humans and ghosts.

I suppressed the wild thoughts in my heart and just like the previous times, I sat down cross-legged. However, this time, I didn't close my eyes to try to feel the Yin book. Instead, as if I was guided by something, I placed the Yin book in front of me and personally flipped open the first page.

There weren't any large golden words like the last few times, but something that shocked me even more was right in front of me. A red mist rose from the book, like a strong wind sweeping away the dust, and the red mist gradually turned into a human figure in the darkness, gently smiling at me.

Only now did I realize that it was Zhao Xue.

"Yan Nuo, I found a way to seal me in the book."

Hearing Zhao Xue's words, I couldn't help but feel apologetic in my heart. It was as if I had carelessly abandoned her after using her. No, perhaps it wasn't even abandonment, but betrayal or persecution.

Zhao Xue seemed to have seen through my thoughts. She took two steps forward and said anxiously, "Yan Nuo, I don't blame you."
