Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 122

Since no direct poison was found and the hospital did not give a clear poisoning report, the police could only do limited things. It was impossible to summon all the suspects into the police station for interrogation. Even the investigation of the relationship network was mainly based on simple visits.

However, after this quick and timely operation, the rumor that Zhou Yunyun was poisoned was "confirmed", and the version of "a female class leader in the school suddenly suffered from mental illness" that was already brewing and about to spread was extinguished in advance.

After all, if it was really a mental illness, there wouldn't be a need for so many police officers to come.

While Tan Yunlong was arranging the tasks and directions for the next phase of the investigation, Li Zhuiyuan and Lin Shuyou left the dormitory building first and got into the police car they had come in.

Lin Shuyou was a little excited: "Brother Xiaoyuan, what should we do next?"

"There is the easiest way."

"The simple method is good, just use the simple method!"

"Kidnap those five girls, torture them and force them to confess."

Lin Shuyou: “…”

Li Zhuiyuan turned his head and looked out of the car window. The environment on campus often has an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, and each university has its own style.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Shuyou asked, "Brother Xiaoyuan, are we going to kidnap him and take him to the basement of our school's affordable store?"

"Ok?"

"I feel like that's where it's more suitable for detaining people. The most dangerous place is often the safest place."

"Are you really going to do this?"

"If we can be sure that the one who cast the curse is among those five people, I think your method, Brother Xiaoyuan, is feasible."

"Then why don't you just kill those five people? The murderer is there anyway."

Lin Shuyou: “…”

Lin Shuyou tried to convince himself again, his ten fingers bent hard, his expression twisted, and finally, he was like a deflated ball, and said dejectedly:

"Brother Xiaoyuan, this...I can't seem to do it."

He actually thought about the feasibility of doing so.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't worry. The curser is very stupid. If you try to bait them, they will be hooked. I just pointed out the laundry soap incident in front of them, which is considered a bait."

Fish will run away when they are frightened, but stupid people will jump out of the water when they are frightened.

The scope of suspects has been narrowed down so narrowly that it is not difficult to find out who cast the curse.

What we need to consider more now is that since the other party has such a high-level magic item in his hand, it is impossible that he is an ordinary person who picked it up on the roadside, right?
There is a copper coin buried in the cemetery in Shigang, my hometown, and I haven't picked it up yet.

She knows how to use, dares to use, and knows how to recycle this kind of advanced magic item, which shows that she is very familiar with it.

Even though using a cannon to kill a mosquito is ridiculous in itself, the premise is that she has a cannon and knows how to shoot.

This means:

She is a fool, and a fool with a backstage.

Li Zhuiyuan crossed his fingers and pressed the button gently.

Catching her is just the first step.

The second step is to hook the relationship portal behind her.

As for the third step, that is... hehe.

A line that often appears in the gangster movies that Runsheng likes to watch is: No harm will come to your family.

But the problem is that you have already touched our family members first.

Lin Shuyou discovered that there was a deep indifference in the boy's eyes.

He mistakenly thought that Brother Xiaoyuan was dissatisfied with his previous rejection, so he had to forcefully speak:

"Brother Xiaoyuan, could there be more than one murderer?"

"Ok?"

"That is, out of the five people, two, three, four, or even all of them are the murderer?"

If they are all murderers, then I have no moral burden. I will go and cast a spell tonight and only kill them, not save them!

"No, there is only one murderer."

"what……"

"Zhou Yunyun is very popular. Even if it is the murderer, when he gets along with Zhou Yunyun on a daily basis, they should be close sisters.

If there were many people in a dormitory who were dissatisfied with you and conspired to, condoned and shielded the attempt to murder you, wouldn't that be the point where they were hated by all gods and ghosts?

Besides, this is a curse, and cursed objects are used. Even if ordinary people want to participate, they don’t have the qualifications and level to do so.”

"Then I..."

"I only hope for one thing now." Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and looked at his smooth fingernails.

"what's up?"

"Do you have money?"

“I brought it.” After experiencing the embarrassment of not having money to take a taxi last time, Lin Shuyou now deliberately puts his wallet in his pocket every time he goes out.

"There's a shop over there. Go buy some paper and paint."

"Okay, I'll buy it."

Lin Shuyou got out of the police car. Looking at his departing back, Li Zhuiyuan's eyes slowly darkened.

He hoped that the family behind the murderer would not be as sensible and understanding as Lin Shuyou's family was last time, and would not jump out first to kill their own relatives for the sake of justice.

So this time, the identities of the Qin and Liu families will not be reported for the time being.

Now I am: sitting at the Nantong Haohe Wharf, recovering corpses.

come on,

Take the bait.

……

It was getting dark.

In the dormitory.

The police had left, and the five girls were either sitting on their beds or on chairs. The atmosphere was very depressing.

There was already suspicion and caution in the way they looked at each other.

Tong Yanyan said, "So, Yunyun, was poisoned?"

Wang Lunan suddenly burst into tears, crying and saying, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Who on earth wants to harm Yunyun? Who on earth is it?"

She was the youngest and the most fragile in the dormitory. Whenever she cried, the sisters in the dormitory would come to comfort her.

But this time, no one was in the mood. They were all freshmen, and for many of them it was the first time in their lives that they faced the police at such a close distance.

Different from the image of the police seen in movies and TV, when you are faced with a police officer in full uniform questioning you in real life, the feeling of oppression and shock is real.

Zhao Mengyao: "I really can't understand who wants to harm Yunyun. Yunyun is such a good person, who can do such a thing!"

As she said this, Zhao Mengyao swept her gaze over the other four girls one by one.

Zhang Xin: "I believe that even if someone wants to harm Yunyun, it won't be from our dormitory. The police will continue to question everyone in the class and other people. We are just the first group to be questioned. It doesn't mean that the murderer who poisoned Yunyun is in our dormitory."

Zhou Shengnan jumped off the bed and said, "Anyway, if I find out who hurt Yunyun, I will kill her no matter who it is!"

Tong Yanyan bent down. She was on the lower bunk and Zhou Yunyun was on the upper bunk, so some of their belongings were placed under the same bed.

She took out the plastic basin again, and the original piece of laundry soap had been taken away by the police for inspection.

Tong Yanyan pointed at the plastic basin and asked, "Who put a new piece of laundry soap in it?"

Everyone looked at the plastic basin and no one spoke.

Tong Yanyan asked again: "The person who exchanged the soap will definitely not come out and admit it himself. I want to ask, has anyone seen anyone else come to my place to exchange things?"

Still no one spoke, just shook their heads.

Tong Yanyan pursed her lips and continued, "If you saw it, please speak out now and don't try to cover up for anyone, because if she dared to poison Yunyun, she might also poison you!"

Wang Lunan wiped her tears and said, "I didn't see it."

Zhao Mengyao: "I didn't see it either."

Zhang Xin: "Is this laundry soap poisonous? Or is it that the laundry soap Yunyun used last night was poisonous? Yunyun can't eat laundry soap, so is it possible that something will happen if she comes into contact with it? Then, Yanyan, is there something wrong with the clothes you wore this morning?"

Tong Yanyan looked at Zhang Xin with some confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Xin: "I am worried about you. Look at the police's attitude before. It's obvious that they are referring to the laundry soap. Isn't what the police just came to find poison?"

Zhou Shengnan looked puzzled and said, "I don't understand why the poisoning is related to laundry soap."

Zhang Xin continued to explain: "Could it be the kind of toxin that can be contracted through contact?"

Wang Lunan: “If that’s the case, then wouldn’t our entire dormitory be in danger? Wuuuuu, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to become a lunatic, wuuuuu…”

"Nannan, stop crying." Zhou Shengnan shouted, "What problem can crying solve?"

Zhao Mengyao: "How about we write anonymous notes? In case someone is embarrassed to say it in front of everyone, we can write it on paper and then open it together to read it?"

Tong Yanyan said dissatisfiedly: "This has already happened, what is there to be embarrassed about? Yunyun is already in the hospital. If she knew something, do we still need to save face for her?"

Zhou Shengnan agreed, "Yan Yan is right. If you see something but don't dare to say it at this point, then you are truly hopeless."

Zhang Xin: "I think Mengyao's suggestion is good, why not give it a try?"

Zhao Mengyao took out a notebook, tore off five sheets of paper, and took out five pen refills.

She handed each of them a piece of paper and a pen refill to her roommates one by one.

When it was about to be handed to Tong Yanyan, she didn't take it. Instead, she shouted, "It's really a waste of effort, Chun Bai. If you had the energy, why didn't you just tell the police?"

After shouting, Tong Yanyan got out of bed and put on her shoes.

Zhou Shengnan asked: "Yan Yan, where are you going?"

"I went to the school store and bought new cups, toothbrushes, toothpaste and laundry soap. I also had to replace all the towels!"

Tong Yanyan walked out of the dormitory.

Wang Lunan looked at the paper and pen in her hand and asked, "Should we continue writing?"

Zhao Mengyao said, "Write it. What if something unexpected happens? Everyone turn your back and write. After you finish writing, put it in this box in order, and we'll look at the contents together."

Everybody turned their backs.

"Have you finished writing what needs to be written? Don't turn around. Put them in one by one, starting with Nan Nan, then Xin Xin, then Sheng Nan, and finally me."

After everyone had put their papers away, Zhao Mengyao shook the pen holder and spread out the four slips of paper one by one. The first three slips were blank, but the fourth one read:

"I saw the soap Yanyan changed."

In the dormitory, everyone was silent.

Zhou Shengnan was puzzled and asked, "Who wrote it?"

No one answered.

Zhou Shengnan continued to ask: "If Yanyan had replaced it, why did she take the initiative to bring up this matter just now and ask who put it there?"

Zhao Mengyao: "Could it be that she is deliberately crying thief?"

Wang Lunan: "Do we need to tell the police? Or should we wait for Yanyan to come back and ask her together?"

Zhang Xin got out of bed and walked out.

Zhao Mengyao: "Xinxin, where are you going?"

Zhang Xin: "I'm going to find the counselor and apply to change my dormitory!"

……

When Tong Yanyan walked out of the dormitory building, a pink human-shaped paper floated in front of her.

She was so angry that she stepped directly over the pink paper without even looking.

After arriving at the store, picking up toiletries and daily necessities and paying the bill, Tong Yanyan picked up the public phone on the counter and dialed a number.

The counter was right at the door, in the shadow on the left side of the door. Li Zhuiyuan stood there, his ears trembling slightly, and all of Tong Yanyan's conversation fell clearly into his ears.

She was calling her mother, talking about Zhou Yunyun, saying that the police had come today, and expressing her nervousness and fear.

Her mother comforted her on the other end of the phone.

After Tong Yanyan finished the call, she carried her things back to the dormitory.

The other four girls also left the dormitory building alone that night, after all, they all went out to the cafeteria to have dinner.

When each girl came out, a small pink human-shaped piece of paper would fall in front of them.

Zhang Xin looked down at the piece of paper and continued walking forward.

Zhou Shengnan picked up the falling pieces of paper and threw them into the trash can in front of her.

When Wang Lunan and Zhao Mengyao saw the piece of paper, they were both startled and ran away quickly.

In addition to Tong Yanyan, there were two other people who came to the store to make phone calls, namely Wang Lunan and Zhang Xin.

Wang Lunan called her father, told him what happened today, and then cried for comfort.

She talked a lot and even told her father about the note-writing incident in the dormitory after Tong Yanyan left.

Zhang Xin called her uncle, who was either a leader in the school or had connections in the school. Zhang Xin asked him to help her arrange a change of dormitory, as she said she didn't want to stay in this dormitory anymore.

When her uncle asked her the reason, she told him what happened in the dormitory today and criticized all the girls except Zhou Yunyun.

Zhou Shengnan and Zhao Mengyao did not call each other, which was normal. Telephones were not yet popular at that time, and it was a luxury especially for rural students to call their parents to chat at any time.

Tong Yanyan, Wang Lunan and Zhang Xin, the three of them should have good family conditions.

The first two called their homes directly, while Zhang Xin called and used her connections to change dormitories.

In fact, there is a public telephone under each dormitory building, on the platform outside the dormitory management office.

The reason why the three of them came out of the dormitory building to make a phone call in the store was because Li Zhuiyuan asked Lin Shuyou to cut the telephone line in the dormitory building.

If you want to pick it up, you have to wait until the relevant maintenance personnel come to investigate and handle it tomorrow.

As for the paper figures that fell when each person came out, they were also thrown by Lin Shuyou who was hiding in the tree.

The night was getting darker. Although it was not yet time to turn off the lights and power in the dormitory, it was not far away. Only a few couples were still whispering to each other on the street outside, and the shops were also preparing to close.

Li Zhuiyuan sat down on the bench and Lin Shuyou ran over.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, did you find anything?"

"Three people called and found nothing unusual."

Lin Shuyou scratched his head: "Oh, what a pity, it doesn't matter, Brother Xiaoyuan, think of other ways, we will definitely be able to..."

"What's a pity?"

"Didn't they say that the three people who called couldn't find anything unusual?"

"No abnormalities, doesn't that mean they are normal? That rules out three options."

“Uh… yeah!”

When you identify the murderer as a "fool", the world becomes very simple. Designing any complicated and sophisticated traps and temptations would be an insult to yourself.

The idiot would never think that he was paying special attention to her, and at this time he specially came out to call his "family" and chat about family matters deliberately to show off to himself.

If she had that kind of brains, she wouldn't have opened a new bottle of laundry soap and thrown it back.

If she wanted to contact her family, she should tell them that someone seemed to have discovered her secret, apologize to her family first, and then seek their help.

Li Zhuiyuan asked, "Where's the paper?"

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I noticed that Wang Lunan and Zhao Mengyao were startled when they saw the piece of paper, Tong Yanyan stepped directly on it, Zhang Xin took one look and left, and Zhou Shengnan threw the piece of paper directly into the trash can.

So, based on what you have ruled out before, and their reactions, Zhou Shengnan is the one who cast the curse?"

Li Zhuiyuan pulled out the pink human-shaped paper from Lin Shuyou's pocket, placed it in front of him and shook it gently, then asked, "Why?"

"Because she's not afraid! Brother Xiaoyuan, you cut the paper figurine according to the standard size for making figurines. Anyone who knows a little about spells will be able to tell that.

But there is nothing written on it, no string tied on it, and no signature drawn on it. It is just like the Taoist talisman paper which has no runes at all and is just a standard piece of yellow paper. There is no need to be afraid at all.

So, after two eliminations, there is only one truth, the person who cast the curse is..."

"Ah Friend."

"Well, Brother Xiaoyuan?"

Li Zhuiyuan flicked the piece of paper in front of him and asked, "Do you think this piece of paper is scary?"

"I……"

“I deliberately painted it pink instead of white or black because I hope it won’t give people a scary feeling. This kind of paper is posted on the wall at cultural activities, it’s normal, what’s so scary about it?

Don't think about things so complicatedly, everything can be simpler.

Therefore, those who can be frightened by it are either born timid and like to cry when encountering problems, or... there is really something wrong with them. "

"So, the one who cast the curse is..."

"Zhao Mengyao."

……

"who are you looking for?"

Tong Yanyan opened the dormitory door and asked in a very stiff tone.

After she returned to the dormitory after buying things from the store, the people in the dormitory looked at her with obvious vigilance, even hostility, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and she even lost her good temper when facing strangers.

"Zhao Mengyao is in your dormitory, right?"

"exist."

"A boy asked me to give her a love letter. Here it is."

An envelope with a love heart on it was handed over and Tong Yanyan took it.

The girl who delivered the letter left. She returned to the dormitory late, and a boy gave her money to let her come in and deliver the love letter. It was like running errands and earning some extra money.

Tong Yanyan closed the door, threw the love letter to Zhao Mengyao who was sitting on the upper bunk, and then returned to her own bed.

In the past, every time Zhou Yunyun received a love letter, everyone would collectively exclaim "Wow~" out of curiosity, make a noise, and even clamor to read it together.

However, Zhou Yunyun never opened the packages and put them all in the drawer.

Everyone began to speculate and suspect that the squad leader already had someone in his heart.

Zhao Mengyao picked up the envelope with some surprise and waited for a while, but found that no one was making a noise and there was no "Yo~" sound.

She said to herself, "Oh, who has the heart to look at this thing at this time."

Tong Yanyan didn't respond. Zhang Xin was packing her luggage to move to the dormitory tomorrow. Wang Lunan curled up on the bed with tears in her eyes. She still needed others to comfort her, so how could she have the time to provide emotional value to others?

Only Zhou Shengnan replied perfunctorily:
"Just consider it as a celebration." Zhao Mengyao's chest heaved, and then she took a few deep breaths and finally calmed herself down.

Then she carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter.

The words above look nice, but the content is very brief.

"I need you to give me an explanation for the curse on my cousin.

See you backstage at the school auditorium at 12 noon tomorrow.

—— Sitting at the Nantong Haohe Wharf, fishing for the corpse. "

Zhao Mengyao's face changed completely, and she asked in a trembling voice:
"Hey, we are Yunyun, where is our hometown?"

Zhang Xin pulled up her suitcase. She was from Jinling, and also from Jiangsu, so she answered without thinking, "Nantong."

Tong Yanyan then said, "Didn't the boy who followed the police today say he was Yunyun's cousin? He should also be from Nantong?"

Zhang Xin: "Probably."

Zhao Mengyao got out of bed.

Zhang Xin asked, "Are you going out to meet him?"

"what?"

Zhang Xin was speechless: "Meet that guy? The one who wrote you a love letter."

"I...I...yes, I'm going to see him."

Zhou Shengnan asked, "Are you ready to agree?"

Zhao Mengyao shook her head: "No, I went to reject him and make him give up. Haha, what are you thinking, am I such a casual person, I will agree with just a love letter?

If that's the case, then wouldn't we have already had more than a dozen squad leaders?"

Because Zhao Mengyao mentioned Zhou Yunyun again, everyone's desire to talk was instantly extinguished.

Everyone lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Zhao Mengyao walked out of the dormitory. She went downstairs first. At the entrance of the dormitory building, the dormitory manager was about to close the door. When she saw her coming down, she asked:
"Are you going out? Come back soon. I'll wait for you for a while."

"No, no, no, it's okay, Auntie, you close the door, I won't go out."

Zhao Mengyao seemed to suddenly think of something. She waved her hands continuously and ran up the stairs again.

She did not return to the dormitory, but went into the public toilet on the floor, hid in the innermost stall, and closed the door.

She took out a piece of origami from her pocket, stretched out the paper, and blew towards the middle. The paper expanded into the shape of a gold ingot, and then like a small boat. Then she stuffed the "love letter" into the paper boat.

She looked at her fingers and took a deep breath as she prepared herself.

"vomit……"

Taking a deep breath in the toilet, he was greeted by a foul smell that made him feel sick.

After dry heaving twice, she made up her mind, put her finger into her mouth and bit her fingertip, then dripped blood on the paper boat. After the paper boat was soaked with blood, she took out a cigarette box from her pocket and took out a lighter from the box.

"Clap!"

The lighter lit the red paper boat and it was thrown into the toilet bowl below.

"Crash!"

Just as the water level in the front reservoir reached a certain level, it began to release water. The water in the trough surged and the burning paper boat sank into the round hole.

In a pit ahead, someone cursed:

"Do you have any sense of public morality? Smoking in the toilet!"

……

Sixth Hospital, ward.

Tan Wenbin sat on a chair with his arms crossed and his legs folded on the edge of the bed.

Although this is a bit far from the bed, you can pay attention to the patient on the bed while also paying attention to the three candles under the bed.

Zhou Yunyun fell asleep and slept for a long time.

At this moment, her eyelids trembled slightly and she woke up.

Although there is still some confusion in his eyes, his personal spirit is gradually recovering.

She seemed to be thinking, recalling what happened today.

Then, fear flashed in her eyes again, horrifying images began to attack her mind, and her body began to curl up instinctively.

"you're awake?"

Zhou Yunyun turned her head and looked at Tan Wenbin beside her. She bit her lips with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, it's okay."

Tan Wenbin reached out to wipe her tears. This was not the first time Zhou Yunyun cried today. When she was lying on the hospital bed with confused and lifeless eyes during the day, she saw that he was crying too.

However, when Tan Wenbin reached out his hand, Zhou Yunyun took the initiative to grab it, and then buried her head in Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin could only bend down, hug her, and pat her back gently with his palm.

If a girl is a class monitor, she will not be able to control others if she is not strict and does not speak loudly.

As the left protector of the class, Tan Wenbin was often yelled at and scolded by the class monitor.

This was the first time he saw the squad leader showing such a weak side.

Even on the eve of the college entrance examination, when she told herself that she liked him, she was as confident as a rainbow in the sky.

But now she is very scared, very weak, and very eager for dependence and a sense of security.

Tan Wenbin hugged her, with fierceness in his eyes.

He has been avoiding his feelings towards Zhou Yunyun. Does he like her?
I should like it.

She is very beautiful. She exists in my memory. Her confidence and her smile have embellished my youth.

If he didn't like her, he wouldn't have told Uncle Tan about her, and Aunt Tan overheard it.

If he wasn't attracted to her, he wouldn't have told Runsheng about it, causing Runsheng to tease him several times: When are you going to have a baby?

But if you want to say that it is true love to the point of life and death, that is definitely not the case, because it has not actually really begun.

But she is really different to herself.

This is a difference that even outsiders can see, such as Lin Shuyou.

In addition to these, Zhou Yunyun’s experience today has reopened another scar in Tan Wenbin’s heart.

He had once witnessed Zheng Haiyang die in front of him, and today, he almost witnessed Zhou Yunyun fall to her death in front of him.

Having experienced loss once, you can imagine the anger you’d feel when it happens again.

He had been suppressing his anger, and did not show it when Xiaoyuan was around during the day because he did not want to interfere or influence Xiaoyuan's judgment. Xiaoyuan had already gone to investigate the incident with his father.

Once the investigation results come out and the real murderer is found, Tan Wenbin will kneel in front of Brother Xiaoyuan and ask him to help him get revenge.

He knew very well that Brother Xiaoyuan didn't like being kidnapped by emotions and was very averse to acting on emotion, but he, Tan Wenbin, just couldn't stand it.

He wanted to kill, kill, kill whoever attacked Zhou Yunyun!

Zhou Yunyun's crying gradually stopped, she turned her head away, and the fierce expression on Tan Wenbin's face disappeared, turning into a warm smile.

"Thank you, Binbin."

Tan Wenbin helped her arrange the pillows so that she could lean more comfortably.

When he stood up and distanced himself from her, Zhou Yunyun raised her hands and grabbed his clothes.

She was scared.

"do not go……"

Tan Wenbin shrugged, pointed to the fruit on the bedside table, and said:

"I just wanted to show you the classic scene of peeling an apple by the bed."

Zhou Yunyun raised her head and looked at the bedside table, where there was indeed a fruit basket.

Her lips were also dry.

But she still shook her head and continued to grab the boy's clothes.

She is not being sentimental or acting like a spoiled child because she is reluctant to let her lover leave. She has just experienced a terrifying experience and is still under the aftermath.

"alright."

Tan Wenbin picked up an apple and a fruit knife and lay down sideways beside the bed.

A smile appeared on Zhou Yunyun's pale face. She leaned her face against Tan Wenbin's chest and wrapped her arms around his waist, fearing that he would disappear.

Tan Wenbin was humming a song while peeling an apple.

After cutting off a piece, he handed it to her mouth. She opened her mouth and ate it, not minding at all that her lips touched the other person's fingers.

However, this soft and warm touch made Tan Wenbin feel like a deer beating in his heart.

After eating half an apple, Zhou Yunyun said, "No more, you eat it."

Tan Wenbin ate the remaining half of the apple himself.

Zhou Yunyun asked: "Why are you here?"

Tan Wenbin knew that this was not the time to help her recall, so he smiled and asked:
"So I should be under the bed?"

Zhou Yunyun seemed to be aware that she was pressed against his chest and her hands were around his waist.

But she just raised her face slightly and moved her hands slowly away. After a moment, she put her face back and held her hands tighter.

After a long while, she spoke again: "What... happened to me?"

"It was a nightmare. Now that the nightmare is over, everything will be sweet dreams from now on."

Tan Wenbin gently patted the girl's back with his fingertips.

He didn't intend to tell Zhou Yunyun the truth because not everyone was comfortable with the truth.

Zhou Yunyun is not A'li after all.

At the beginning, Brother Xiaoyuan worked so hard to overdraw his energy and set up the formation to kill the dwarf father and son. It was he who rode his tricycle and slapped himself to stay awake, and then he sent Brother Xiaoyuan back to the dam where Uncle Li lived.

Brother Xiaoyuan told A'li that someone was plotting against him, and he had already fought back and wanted to kill the person who was plotting against him.

I fainted nearby at that time, but even though I was unconscious, I saw that the little girl A'li, who had always been cold and expressionless, smiled.

But if I tell Zhou Yunyun the truth, and then tell her about my past and what I will experience in the future, even if I ignore the causal impact of walking down the river, then... can she really accept it?
After completing the mission with Brother Xiaoyuan, I came back and told her: Hey, do you know how powerful I am? I smashed a man to death with a stone tonight; I killed a whole group of evil spirits by myself tonight!
Not every girl is like Ari, who directly expresses her happiness about this.

Of course, he also didn't want her to become A-li. He hoped that she could continue to live her life confidently and sunny as she did in the past.

If possible, I would be very happy if I could see her occasionally.

If she finds a partner, she will feel regretful and may suffer from insomnia at night, but she will eventually be able to comfort herself.

But now... Tan Wenbin looked at her in his arms, and after his fingers stopped tapping, his fingertips touched her back, and he could feel the smoothness even through her clothes.

He is not a naive person, he knows clearly that the sense of distance that he had deliberately adhered to seems to have been broken.

"Tan Wenbin."

Zhou Yunyun kept her face pressed against his chest and called out his full name.

"I am here, what do you want, Madam?"

"Tan Wenbin, I want to be with you, the kind that won't separate us."

"That's not good. You happen to be sick. Wouldn't it seem like I'm taking advantage of you?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree." Zhou Yunyun raised her head and looked at his face. "There is no rule that only boys can pursue girls. I can pursue you too."

"No, no, no, it's not worth it, it's not worth it, old squad leader, we won't accept this injustice."

"Do you have a girl you like?"

"some."

Zhou Yunyun lowered her head and remained silent.

This reply seemed to drain away all the courage she had mustered earlier.

"I used to act weird during self-study classes just to hear her yell at me angrily: 'Tan Wenbin, be quiet!'"

"Pfft..."

The girl smiled.

Tan Wenbin: "Tan Wenbin, you don't have to study, but don't affect other students' studies!"

"Okay." The girl grabbed Tan Wenbin's waist and shook him.

"Tan Wenbin, if you don't obey me, I will tell the teacher!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Yunyun blushed.

"Tan Wenbin, now is the time to study, don't you want your future?"

"Stop, that's enough." Zhou Yunyun lightly hit the boy's chest with her fist.

Tan Wenbin lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms:

"Monitor."

Zhou Yunyun's body tensed slightly.

"I never thought that a toad like me would be able to eat swan meat one day."

"No, no..."

Zhou Yunyun continued to hit Tan Wenbin's chest lightly with dissatisfaction.

"At this time, don't make metaphors, don't use metaphors."

Oh, women are so hard to please.

"Monitor."

"Um……"

"I like you."

Zhou Yunyun was satisfied. She closed her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Just as Tan Wenbin said before, the nightmare is over and what follows is a sweet dream.

Just think of it as a dream.

At least in her dream, she was satisfied.

She fell asleep.

This time her brows were no longer furrowed, and her expression was comfortable and calm, even a little sweet.

A smile also appeared on Tan Wenbin's lips.

Although the environment was not suitable at that time, and smoking was harmful to health, and second-hand smoke was also extremely harmful, he also quit smoking and gave the pack of cigarettes he had on him to his father...

But he really wanted to lie here and light up a cigarette, then blow out small smoke rings of excitement one after another, just like the steam locomotive in the cartoon: "Toot, toot, toot!"

He moved the girl's hand away, gently settled her down, and covered her with a blanket.

Tan Wenbin got out of bed, first lowered his head to check the three candles that were still burning normally, then stood up and gently twisted his waist and neck.

Brother Xiaoyuan and his biological father went to investigate, but he didn't know whether his biological father had inherited enough of his excellent talents and whether he could cooperate well with Brother Xiaoyuan.

Suddenly, Tan Wenbin felt as if a cold wind blew in and hit his face, making his forehead feel cold.

The doors and windows of the ward are closed and there is no ventilation.

After going through so many things, Tan Wenbin has gained some experience: there is a situation.

He reached into his pocket with his left hand to take out the talisman, and pulled out the Yellow River shovel from his bag with his right hand.

He walked slowly around the bed and faced the ward door.

In the past, he was used to standing in front of Brother Xiaoyuan, but now there is one more person behind him who needs his support.

The hospital seemed very quiet late at night. This floor was a single-person ward. Those who could stay here were either patients with special conditions or patients with special identities.

So, tonight, except for here, all the wards on this floor are actually empty.

An old man wearing a white vest with holes, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and leaning on a wooden stick in his left hand, came to this floor via the stairs.

He looked to be about seventy years old, but his actual age might not be that old, because his wrinkled and skinny face made him look like an ordinary old farmer who had experienced the hardships of life in the countryside.

The new pair of cloth shoes on his feet were the only decent thing on his body. He was dressed as if he was going to the market.

The old man raised the wooden stick in his hand, picked it up from the bamboo basket on his back, and threw it forward.

A dirty and tattered rag doll fell to the ground.

The old man uttered obscure and mixed syllables from his throat, and the wooden stick in his hand drew circles around the rag doll.

The rag doll began to tremble, and wisps of black smoke came out of it. Finally, in front of it, a ragged and disheveled girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old appeared.

The girl's body was covered with traces of stitches, and silver needles were scattered all over her body. Her messy hair completely covered her face.

She began to move forward, dragging herself along the corridor until she reached the ward.

She turned around and tried to go in, but when she was halfway in, she was bounced back by an inexplicable force and fell back.

Behind him, the old man looked puzzled.

In the ward.

Tan Wenbin, who did not have any ghosts, only felt that the cold wind suddenly intensified, but then stopped abruptly. There were slight trembling and friction sounds coming from all around the ward.

He immediately looked back and saw that the three candles under the bed were only shaking slightly but were still burning normally. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a crisp snap of fingers came from somewhere in the silent hospital building.

"Snapped!"

Three candles, extinguished in an instant!
Tan Wenbin widened his eyes. What was going on?

The girl was making a second attempt to enter. Her body first went halfway through, and then all the way in.

Seeing this, the old man's doubts disappeared, replaced by a slightly reserved smile:

"Haha, a little corpse-retriever who I've never heard of actually dares to ask for an explanation from my family.

Well then, I, old man, will satisfy you today.

I don’t know, are you satisfied with this statement? "

At this time, a young man's voice came:

"Very satisfied."
