The Exorcist

Ruan Zhan was smashed out of bed at six in the morning.

At this time of the day he'd just cleaned the bar and fell asleep, so he went downstairs and opened the door with nothing but a pair of jeans. He knew that it was his only friend Wanli, but he didn't expect that he would bring Yue Xiaoxia, who only wore pajamas.

"Bring her in first, and I'll pay the fare." Wan Li pushed Xiao Xia into Ruan Zhan's arms without saying a word. Only then did Ruan Zhan realize that the silent female lawyer couldn't stand if no one helped her.

He couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed, knowing that this trouble had come to him, and it seemed that he could not escape.

"What are you doing standing there? Didn't you see that she was going to faint? Go upstairs and go upstairs." Wan Li locked the door with his backhand and said to the two people standing by the bar, in a tone so impolite that people would misunderstand that this was his home .

Ruan Zhan did not speak, although he hated his teeth, he still followed his words. In addition to the two separated rooms on the second floor, it is also used as a warehouse, and the stairs are relatively steep, so that he almost half-held and half-supported to deliver Xiao Xia safely. Then, with a laissez-faire mentality, he watched the busy people who were already busy with everything, and finally let Xiao Xia sleep on his bed.

"It's very necessary for us to talk." He walked over unbearably, stretched out his hand and drew a few words between Xiao Xia's brows.

Xiao Xia was lying on the bed with Ruan Zhan's body temperature, and he felt safe for a while, but now he was asked to write and draw on his forehead, only to feel itchy, and then fell asleep without warning.

"I seem to be strong buying and selling." Wan Li smiled wryly.

"Very self-aware. You have practiced the unreasonableness of your acquaintances to the point of perfection, and you have broken your promises."

"I'm sorry." Wan Li sincerely apologized, "But if I were given another choice, I would still do it."

"Oh?"

"I have to."

"Oh?"

"Why are you indifferent to anything? That's what she said." Wan Li pointed to Xiao Xia who was in a coma.

"Oh?"

"Don't oh oh oh, there are really ghosts trying to harm people, you must help me."

"I don't see why I 'must' help you."

"Then let me beg you. We have been friends for many years, Ah Zhan, don't really care about me."

"Please?" Ruan Zhan extended his voice meaningfully.

"Don't get me wrong." Wan Li knew what he was thinking, and explained: "I admit, I have a little more affection for her than an ordinary friend, but it's never to the point of love. She—" Wan Li looked at Xiao Xia's With a sleepy face, a trace of sentimentality came to my heart, "Just like Nana."

Ruan Zhan was stunned for a moment, "Nana has been dead for ten years, you are psychological compensation, it's useless. Besides, she doesn't look alike, you must be dazzled."

"Her personality is similar, and her current situation is similar, so I don't want to be wrong again."

"Don't fool me! This person is impatient and can't beg for help. He is sensitive and self-willed. Which is like Nana? A good person or a coward?"

Wan Li couldn't help laughing at Ruan Zhan's words. "To say that the two of you are really bosom friends! You just met each other once, so you analyzed each other's shortcomings completely, but unfortunately you can't see the advantages. Don't say it, I really feel a little happy with each other."

"You perfidious bastard still has the face to laugh at Lao Tzu!"

Seeing that Ruan Zhan's mouth was 'dirty' and his emotions were out of control, Wan Li knew that his old friend's position was loosened, and he quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Forget it, scold me as you wish. You won't really die, Ah Zhan. ?"

"What else do you do besides making trouble for Lao Tzu?" Ruan Zhan scolded, the calm and gentleness that he usually carefully maintained completely collapsed. "Knowing that I don't want to use that ability, you still reveal that it's difficult for outsiders. You know that I never let women come here, but you let her take up my bed in a grand manner. Is there such a friend in the world?"

"It's all my fault, isn't it? Then - are you willing to help?"

"Will I let me go if I don't want to help you?" Ruan Zhan finally accepted his fate, "But the ugly words are up front, I'll only help you, not her."

"What does it mean?"

"It means that I will help her once in your face. If she provokes other ghosts again, it has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, okay." Wanli agreed. Who is still alright to always provoke evil!

"Now tell me what happened last night, why are you so embarrassed?" Although 10,000 people were reluctant, there was no place to sleep anyway. Ruan Zhan had to inquire about the situation first, so that he knew what he was dealing with. what.

His questioning made Wan Li serious, which also made Ruan Zhan realize that the problem was not simple. Wan Li lived and died with him twice, so he wouldn't make a fuss if he didn't see a little strange phenomenon.

"I don't know what happened to Xiao Xia last night. When we took a taxi in the morning, she didn't tell me anything. I only know that I encountered a ghost wall yesterday, and it was going to separate me and Xiao Xia. Strange things happened to the hospital, too."

He told Ruan Zhan about Xiao Xia's nightmare and the murder in detail, and then talked about what happened at Xiao Xia's house. "It was fine when I woke her up at ten o'clock to take her medicine, and then I fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. About a little later, I heard her calling me very loudly, and her voice was broken. The loud noise must have traveled far in the night, but strangely none of the neighbors heard it. I was in a panic, but I couldn't find where the door to her room was anyway, and then I couldn't hear any sound, It seems that I am in a vacuum environment. I used the method you taught me to recite the Qingming Mantra, and then pushed away everything that had a bit of texture in one direction. As a result, I could only run from the living room to the door, and I couldn’t find Xiaoxia’s room at all. The door, even the phone can't get through. When I broke in at dawn, she had been unconscious for a long time. It should be noted that the door is locked from the inside, but Xiao Xia will not do that. "

"Maybe this is her way of preventing perverts." Ruan Zhan joked casually, but he had a clue in his heart. He walked over to Xiao Xia, who was still asleep, and stretched out his hand to her chest.

Wan Li stopped him, "You are going to become a wolf!"

Ruan Zhan ignored him and gently picked up the jade pendant on Xiaoxia's neck, "I'm sure that thing wants to harm her, or at least wants to get on her, but why is she safe and sound?" He looked down at this carefully. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's amulet, "Do you know where she got this treasure from?"

Wanli thought about it. "I heard from her that when she went to Wuhu, Anhui for a parade, an old monk gave it to her because she had Buddhist fate and wisdom roots. She didn't like hanging things around her neck, so she gave it to her grandma, because she was an old man. Very devout Buddhist. Three years ago, her grandmother passed away, she probably missed her old man too much, so she started wearing this and never left her."

"So it is." Ruan Zhan put the Jade Guanyin back, "Do you know the Xiaojiuhua Guangji Temple in Wuhu? The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is worshipped there. This is probably given to her by someone who has attained the Tao, and it is very spiritual. In addition, there is a strong mental power on this. I think her grandmother must love her very much. This kind of very real wish has turned into a strong protective power, which is really rare. Now I can understand why she encountered this kind of thing. The yang fire can be weakened but not extinguished.”

"That means she'll be fine."

"Relative. You must know that too much ghost energy will contaminate this kind of baby, just as air pollution can harm the human body."

"You can't tell her about this, or she will be reckless."

"This has nothing to do with me." Ruan Zhan said while drawing a talisman between Xiaoxia's eyebrows, making her wake up leisurely. Then, before she was fully awake, she began to ask about what happened last night, and her carefulness made Xiao Xia think that if he studied law, he would be the most shrewd lawyer.

"It said you were the sixth?" Ruan Zhan asked.

"Yes." This scene still made her linger, "Is this because of my case?"

"Look at it again." Although it seems to be related to the murder case, this is not dealing with people, and it cannot be thought with common sense.

"Will you help me?"

"I'm helping him. But I hope you don't talk about it in the future and count it as my reward, okay?"

"Do you want her to swear?" Wan Li interjected.

"No. Someone swore that he would betray me the same way?"

"Don't worry, I won't say it anyway. You believe it or you don't believe it." Xiao Xia wanted to thank Ruan Zhan, but his cold and reluctant attitude hurt his self-esteem, and he couldn't help but get a little angry.
