Jiajing Spiritual Records

Chapter 113

"Missing?" Ning Huan repeated Su Xian's words just now like a parrot, his chaotic eyes gradually regained half of his clarity, his heart suddenly thumped, and he struggled to get up, "No...it's gone, what is that? What do you mean?" Ning Huan asked.

Su Xian grabbed Ning Huan's waist and helped him sit up.Ning Huan frowned imperceptibly, only felt that his headache was about to split, and every breath seemed to be filled with hot air that burned his throat. He leaned softly on Su Xian's body and listened to him: " Just now when I went downstairs and couldn't find the innkeeper, I went outside, only to find that everyone in this 'Sheren Town' had disappeared for no apparent reason."

"Disappeared?" Ning Huan's blank eyes suddenly widened, with a trace of inconceivable surprise.

Su Xian said softly "Yes", and a complex look flashed between his brows and eyes, "But—" he paused slightly, and then continued, "There is still a possibility, maybe since we came, there has been no nobody."

"Is there no one?" Ning Huan was slightly taken aback, and he asked, "Then where is the coffin shop we passed by just now?" The old man's weird and gloomy face suddenly appeared in his drowsy head. Thinking about it, he always felt that that face seemed familiar.

Su Xian shook his head, and replied, "I've been there, but there's no one there anymore."

Ning Huan's cheeks were smudged with a layer of scalding red, and the temple hair on his forehead was soaked in cold sweat, "Ning Huan?" Su Xian called Ning Huan's name softly, with a hint of worry that could not be concealed in his tone.

"Su Xian." Ning Huan closed his eyes tightly, rubbed his cheeks unconsciously on Su Xian's front, and muttered softly, "I'm so uncomfortable."

Su Xian frowned, and tested the temperature of Ning Huan's forehead with the back of his hand, the scorching body temperature immediately made his heart beat. "Ning Huan." Su Xian lowered his eyes, staring at Ning Huan's face intently, his black grape-like eyes shining brightly in the dark night, he whispered in Ning Huan's ear, "Hold on, I'll take you away Here." He took off his coat and put it on Ning Huan's body, leaned down slightly and planted a comforting kiss on Ning Huan's forehead, "Go to sleep, wake up, we will be home."

Su Xian was about to stand up with Ning Huan on his back.At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, followed by a strong knock on the door of their room. "Is there anyone in the room?" It was the voice of a rough man, could it be the big men I met downstairs just now?Ning Huan thought in a daze.He looked at Su Xian, with a little uneasiness in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Are those people still there?"

At this time, the people outside seemed to have heard the movement in the room, and the knock on the door suddenly became urgent: "Are the two little brothers from just now still in the room?"

Su Xian stared at the door and remained silent for a while, "I'll open the door." He whispered in Ning Huan's ear.He carefully put Ning Huan back on the bed, Ning Huan's trembling body was tightly covered by the quilt, his slender eyelashes were stained with wet moisture, and his dark eyes stared at Su Xian without blinking.

"Hush—" Su Xian gestured for silence, and stretched out his hands to put down the bed curtains on both sides, the lake blue curtains perfectly concealed Ning Huan's figure.Su Xian took out a dagger from his cuff, took off the sheath with one hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and he walked towards the door indifferently.

The door opened with a "squeak", and there were several strong men standing outside the house, the leader was a man with whiskers, and beside him stood a man with small eyes.

"Little brother." Seeing Suxian opened the door, the man with small eyes opened his mouth and greeted Suxian with a smile.

Su Xian lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his dark eyes were like icy obsidian showing a hint of guarded coldness. He looked at the people at the door without saying a word.

The small-eyed man smiled awkwardly, but seemed to be extremely afraid of Su Xian, and stood in front of their house without going any further. "Little brother, we have no malicious intentions." With a smile on his face, his shrewd eyes looked behind Su Xian from time to time.Su Xian frowned, and moved imperceptibly to block his sight.

The small-eyed man gave a dry laugh, looked away, stood up straight, and said in a slow tone, "Then the little brother must have noticed the weirdness of this place, right?" He asked, his weasel-like gaze fixed on Looking over, it seemed like a temptation.

He silently waited for Su Xian to speak, but seeing that Su Xian did not intend to speak, he said to himself: "Just now I went downstairs to ask for some water from the store, but I didn't have a camera, but I found people in this town They all disappeared. So I discussed with my brothers and wanted to go out as soon as possible overnight. I think the little brothers can also work hard, and if they don’t want to go out with us, there are many people and we can take care of each other.”

"No need." Su Xian refused directly with a cold face.

The small-eyed man obviously didn't expect Su Xian to reply like this, and he was slightly taken aback when he heard this: "This..." He looked sideways, hesitantly looking at the bearded man in the middle.

At this time, the bearded man's eyes passed over Su Xian, and he glanced at the room in a miserable manner. He changed the topic and asked, "I still remember that there is another little brother in the room." He paused abruptly. , observing Su Xian's expression in the dark with calculating eyes, and sure enough, after he finished saying this, some cracks finally appeared on Su Xian's calm face.

The bearded man smiled, and continued: "Just now I heard the little brother hurrying downstairs, I don't know what happened?"

Su Xian's knuckles were white, and a sharp dagger was clenched in his right hand hidden in his sleeve, but he was leaning casually on the side of the door rail.He hooked the corner of his mouth, and a sneer of disdain appeared on his face: "Then can I ask, why did you find me?"

The bearded man twitched the corners of his mouth, and just said: "This town is weird, I'm afraid we can't handle it. Little brother is very skilled, if you can go out with us to explore the road, it will be very safe." Suxian snorted coldly, The tentative words were refuted without any leaks.

The bearded man smiled slightly: "This town is weird. If anything happens, I'm afraid the little brother in the house won't be able to handle it. Why don't we leave a brother here to take care of him."

When Su Xian heard the bearded man mentioning Ning Huan, his eyes suddenly lifted.His eyes were dark, his face was calm, only a pair of slightly flickering black eyes leaked out a chilling hostility.Do you want to use Ning Huan as a bargaining chip to threaten yourself?His eyes turned into a deep black, "No, he has to be with me." Su Xian replied coldly.

Su Xian obviously refused to give in because of this, and the bearded man was also afraid of him, and he didn't want to have a conflict at this time.The two were in a stalemate, and suddenly a person in the crowd asked, "Where did Dashun go, why hasn't he come yet?"

"Da Shun? Didn't Manzi call him just now?" The small-eyed man asked back, he frowned, and complained with some dissatisfaction, "Maybe he fell asleep at this time."

"Boss! Boss!" At this time, a man came running out of breath from behind the crowd, "Manzi?" The man named Manzi smiled flatteringly, seeing everyone talking about him, he hurried away come over.

Seeing that he came alone, the bearded man frowned and asked, "Where's Dashun?"

Manzi was taken aback, and hurriedly pointed to Dashun's room and replied: "I went to his room just now and saw no one there." As he spoke, a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"Forget it." The small-eyed man waved his hand impatiently, "I can't wait any longer, it's up to him to live or die."

Su Xian raised his eyes suddenly, under the bright night, his dark eyes reflected the face of the man named Manzi, his eyes darkened. "Since..." the bearded man turned to Su Xian, who was about to speak, but was interrupted by Su Xian. "Just now you said that you want to leave one of you to take care of me?" Suxian sneered mockingly, and nodded his chin at a person in the crowd, "Then let him stay and take care of me."

After Ning Huan was sweating all over, his head became clearer.He listened attentively to the commotion outside, thought that Su Xian would not agree, but he didn't expect him to change his words in the end, Ning Huan was also stunned lying on the bed. "Ning Huan." With a corner of the curtain lifted, Su Xian sat by the bed and said to Ning Huan who was stunned, "I'm going out for a while, you stay here and wait for me to come back."

Ning Huan's throat clenched, his eyes flickered, his black and white eyes looked at Su Xian without blinking: "I..." Su Xian would definitely not abandon himself, but he didn't understand why he would. With such an arrangement, the man obviously let go just now.

Su Xian looked at Ning Huan's restless eyes, with a comforting smile on the corner of his mouth, a gentle warmth flowed between his brows and eyes, and he gently stroked Ning Huan's cheek with his fingertips.He leaned down slightly, his long eyelashes rolled down, and he kissed Ning Huan on the forehead.

"You..." Ning Huan's eyes widened in astonishment, he followed Su Xian's peripheral vision and glanced behind him, only to see those big men turned their eyes away in disgust when they were looking at the two.

"It'll be fine." The last trace of warmth faded from Su Xian's eyes, and he stared coldly at the people behind him.Ning Huan nodded in a daze, squeezed the dagger that was handed over by Su Xian under the quilt with his fingers, and replied word by word: "Then I will wait for you to come back."

The door closed with a "squeak", and only Ning Huan and another big man left behind were left in the room. From the conversation with those people just now, Ning Huan knew the man's name, which seemed to be "Wang Yang".

Ning Huan stared blankly at the bed curtain above his head, his eyes trembled, and he thought over and over in his mind the two words Su Xian said before he left. He said, "There is a ghost." But Ning Huan understood what he meant in a moment.Ghost?Ning Huan frowned slightly, but for a moment he didn't know what Su Xian meant.

He took a deep breath, sat up, looked at the man named "Wang Yang" beside the table, and asked dryly, "Why did you detain me and call him?"

The man glanced at Ning Huan warily, being left behind for no reason made him angry.With a fierce look on his face, he said to Ning Huan with a cold face: "Don't take care of things that you shouldn't take care of, and be careful of your life."

Ning Huan curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and tactfully pursed his lips and stopped talking.White candles flickered in the house, and the night outside was getting dark.Ning Huan sat on the bed hugging the quilt, and he hid the dagger under the pillow.

Is there a ghost?Ning Huan frowned, still thinking about the meaning of those two words left by Su Xian.

"Da, da, da", at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and someone was walking up the stairs.Suxian and the others are back?Ning Huan thought in his heart, sat up abruptly and looked outside the house.

Wang Yang turned around, and gave Ning Huan a warning wink, signaling him not to move.Ning Huan's upper body, which had just straightened up, lay back reluctantly.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, they stopped in front of the house close to the two, and disappeared.

A deadly silence filled the house, and occasionally the sound of the wind blowing through the window lattice could be heard outside. "Don't move." Wang Yang gave Ning Huan a threatening look, and stood up by himself, "Squeak—" The door was pushed open, and the room suddenly darkened. Wang Yang walked out holding the candlestick.

Outside, the candlelight flickered slightly in the dark, and Wang Yang's figure was reflected on the door, like a silent puppet show.He shouted: "Boss? Are you guys back?"

"Boss?"

"Crack", the fire outside the house suddenly went out.Ning Huan's heart tightened suddenly, and his hands slowly touched under the pillow, the knuckles holding the dagger turned white.Time passed bit by bit, and Wang Yang's voice could no longer be heard outside the house. Where did he go?Ning Huan frowned as he thought about it, his face became paler and paler due to the lingering redness of the high fever.Nothing will happen.

"Huh", the extinguished fire outside the house lighted up again, after a long silence, "da, da, da", footsteps sounded again, and every slight sound was clearly amplified infinitely by the dark night.Is Wang Yang back?

Ning Huan was panting slightly, and suddenly, his heartbeat that hadn't calmed down started beating even more violently.Under the light of the fire, a black shadow slowly appeared outside the door of the house. It had an unusually long neck and slung its shoulders, as if it was hung on the beam of the house and looked into the house.

Ning Huan's eyes widened, then... that would definitely not be Wang Yang's shadow...
