After being scared to cry by me, she confessed to me

Chapter 27

It's a pity that ghosts always live in darkness.

Humans and ghosts have different paths, and she has read all kinds of tragic stories on TV novels.

So from a rational point of view, it was impossible for Xu Lan to agree to Yan Shu.

At the same time, Xu Lan was also thinking about how to reject the little girl so that she would not shed tears of sadness.

Xu Lan thought for a while, and then thought of Ye Chuyi's accusation against her yesterday. This reason seemed to be the most suitable for Yan Shu.

So Xu Lan said: "You are now in the third year of high school, and you should focus on studying, so you shouldn't think about these things."

The stars in Yan Shu's eyes seemed to be swaying, with a sense of loss that couldn't be concealed.

Unwilling to give up, she asked again: "What about when I get admitted to university?"

Xu Lan couldn't bear to look at her, and turned her head away, "I can't answer you now about the future."

However, for Yan Shu, it was obvious that he would reject this sentence.

The stars are broken and the sky is dark.

But Yan Shu still nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I see."

She tried her best to cover up her loss, but it was more obvious, and she also carried an indescribable loneliness and loneliness.

Xu Lan wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what else to say at this moment.

In the end, all she could say was, "Sorry."

Yan Shu looked at her and shook her head, "It's not your fault."

It's not a bad thing if you don't like her.

It was she who was reckless and said these words directly to the surface.

So Yan Shu tried her best to show a "happy" smile, "Just pretend I haven't said anything."

Xu Lan nodded.

And what happened, how could it be completely erased.

When going to school the next day, Yan Shu took off those beautiful skirts.

Half of the wardrobe, all the skirts were locked away by her.

But Yan Shu was no longer as unconventional as before, but changed into simple casual clothes, no different from most high school students.

The geography course was still being made up, and as Yan Shu herself said, she acted as if nothing had happened.

In a blink of an eye, the winter vacation is approaching, and the final exam is over.

This is the last lesson Xu Lan gave her this year.

The papers were placed on the table, and after marking and correcting, Yan Shu knew the scores well.

If nothing else happened, Yan Shu should be able to score 85 in geography this time.

Not only will it not hold back, but it can also be regarded as a good score.

This is indeed a qualitative leap and improvement for Yan Shu, who once only got the tragic score of five points for one multiple-choice question.

And today, by coincidence, both Yan Shu and Xu Lan were wearing the coat that Yan's mother bought last time.

Black and white, the same style, different colors, two people wearing it, like a couple.

Yan Shu put away the paper, got up and sent Xu Lan downstairs.

It was already cold outside, but Yan Shu accompanied Xu Lan to the gate of the courtyard.

The tip of her nose was red from the cold, she raised her head and smiled at Xu Lan, "My parents will take me back to my hometown to see my grandpa during Chinese New Year this year, so the next time we meet may be next year."

"Yeah." Xu Lan nodded, "Remember to tell me when the final results come out."

"Okay." Yan Shu agreed, then hesitated for a moment, then took out a box from her pocket and handed it to Xu Lan, whispering, "New Year's gift."

Xu Lan opened it, and inside was a crystal clear green crystal bracelet.

Although the one Yan Shu gave was just an ordinary green crystal, it was also very beautiful.

Yan Shu waved her wrist, "You gave me one, so naturally I will give it back."

Xu Lan didn't speak, but put on the crystal bracelet directly.

The smile on Yan Shu's face deepened.

Xu Lan walked a little further, but suddenly heard footsteps behind her, and Yan Shu calling her name.

Yan Shu ran to her side and said, "We don't have a photo together yet."

Now that I said it, it means to shoot.

Under the moonlight, Yan Shu held Xu Lan's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder, smiling happily at the camera.

And at this moment, the snow also fell, falling on their hair tips and shoulders.

The photos taken are also very beautiful, with an indescribable sense of romantic atmosphere.

So Yan Shu set this group photo as her wallpaper, and sent a copy to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan also clicked Save.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Song Mo took Xu Lan out to watch the fireworks.

Along the way, Song Mo kept talking, because she thought Xu Lan was an outsider, so she was explaining various customs to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan didn't take most of the words to heart, until the sky was covered with fireworks, colorful and beautiful.

Seeing Xu Lan kept looking at the fireworks, Song Mo said, "Manager, you can make a wish on these fireworks, and the fireworks flying into the sky means that your wish has been fulfilled for you."

desire?Xu Lan didn't believe this at first.

But by accident, Xu Lan closed his eyes.

her wish?

What could she wish for.

If she had to say something, then she only hoped that Yan Shu's future would be smooth and safe, and that would be enough.

After all, for Xu Lan, Yan Shu is the longest existence in her long life.

Although it is a passerby, it is different after all.

She could naturally see the changes in Yan Shu during this time, and also saw that Yan Shu was not happy.

But no matter what Yan Shu is like, she is still cute in her eyes.

But maybe ghosts cannot make wishes to the gods, and their wishes will not be blessed, and often even get the opposite result.

Xu Lan waited for twelve o'clock, and Yan Shu would definitely send her a message of New Year's greetings.

However, she didn't get a message, but a call from Yan Shu.

When the phone was connected, Yan Shu's voice was full of tears, but "Sister Xu Lan... something happened to my father..."

Xu Lan was stunned, and then said in a comforting voice, "Don't cry, calm down, and tell me what's going on."

"I have no idea……"

Yan Shu sobbed, and then talked about what happened recently one after another.

Since the end of the final exam, Xu Lan hasn't been here again, but everything in the house is not going well.

First of all, my father had some problems in his business, and he was moaning all day long.But for Yan Shu, she doesn't care about these, all she can do is comfort and accompany her father.

One day when she went shopping with her mother, the billboard on the street fell directly and landed at Yan Shu's feet, almost hitting the mother and daughter.

Yan's mother was terrified by this incident, and after she came back, she sat with nightmares for several days.Yan Shu has always been big-hearted, but this incident also made her feel terrified in retrospect.

But this seems to be just the beginning, not the end yet.

Because of the real bad luck, Yan's father suddenly got into a car accident and fell into a coma.

And the hospital can't find out the cause of the disease at all, so there is no solution.

Hearing this, Xu Lan asked without hesitation, "Where are you now?"

"I am home."

"Wait for me." After Xu Lan finished speaking, she hung up the phone and looked at Song Mo in front of her, "I have to leave beforehand."

"Hey... okay." Before Song Mo could speak, he saw Xu Lan's back walking away.

Xu Lan hurriedly rushed to Yan's house.

However, when she reached the gate of Yan's villa, she suddenly felt a little timid again, and she didn't even dare to go in.

From the exam to the present, she hadn't seen Yan Shu for more than half a month.

And now we meet again because of these bad things happened in Yan Shu's family.

With ten fingers unconsciously curled up and clenched the hem of the clothes, she raised her head, approached and knocked on the door.

The door was opened, and Yan Shu poked her head out, raising her eyes with tears in her eyes.

Xu Lan suddenly felt that there was an unspeakable oppressive pain in her heart.

But she tried her best to ignore this strange feeling, only thinking it was her own illusion.

And the moment she saw Xu Lan, Yan Shu couldn't control her emotions anymore, and threw herself into her arms, choking up.

Xu Lan pursed her lips, hugged the girl in her arms tighter, and rubbed her head, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Yan Shu cried for a full ten minutes, until she felt her voice was going hoarse, and finally raised her head.

She took a step back, raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and took two deep breaths to calm herself down.

There was a sudden emptiness in his arms, and a flash of loss appeared on Xu Lan's face.

Xu Lan asked, "Is Auntie at home?"

Yan Shu shook her head, "Mom went to the hospital to accompany Dad."

"Then let's go and have a look." Xu Lan reached out to help Yan Shu wipe off the remaining tears on her face, "The family always celebrates the New Year together."

Yan Shu always listened to Xu Lan's words, so she nodded obediently.

The two walked out of the villa side by side, and Xu Lan held her hand.

Very soft, but a little cold, even colder than Xu Lan's hand.

Xu Lan opened his lips and read a few words silently, and his hands became warmer.

She tried to warm Yan Shu with what she didn't have.

hospital.

Because it is the New Year, there are not only pure white colors here, but it seems to have a bit of vitality.

But of course, this is only a minority.

In the pure white ward, the dumplings sent by the hospital had cooled down, and Yan's mother was sitting in the bed room with a haggard face to accompany her.

Yan Shu reached the door, but her steps froze.

Xu Lan looked back at her, but she shook her head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to go in."

She didn't want to go in, and she didn't want to see her father's old and feeble appearance.

Yan Shu knew that she was worthless, if she stepped into this ward, she would definitely cry.

And Xu Lan looked at everything in front of him, and his face became surprisingly ugly.

Because Yan's father was lying on the hospital bed, his body was surrounded by a layer of gray-black smoke.

Obviously, this is also the reason why he has not been able to wake up until now.

And Xu Lan was too familiar with this breath.

At the same time, she also knew that it was because she hadn't come to Yan's house for too long, so she gave Cen Ruo a chance to take advantage of the loophole.

But now, father Yan's situation is so serious that she has no way to turn the situation around.

Unless... Cen Ruo died, the smoke would naturally dissipate.

Even Xu Lan didn't know that at this moment, she had already made a decision in her heart.

The clock struck midnight, and twelve o'clock finally arrived.

It was supposed to be a reunion night, but in a deserted place like a hospital.

Yan Shu pursed her lips, trying to make her expression look better.

Xu Lan reached out and took Yan Shu into her arms.

She whispered: "Happy New Year."

"Don't cry anymore, trust me, with me, everything will be fine."

Xu Lan sent Yan Shu home, sat by her bed, and kept talking with her.

It wasn't until Yan Shu fell asleep that the gentle look on her face gradually faded.

Things are far more difficult than I imagined.

In other words, things have come to this point, and there is no other choice.

She had to come forward, take a gamble, and end all of this.

Naturally, it also means that she must—

Kill Cen Ruo.

Xu Lan returned to Changshan Haunted House.

Because of the New Year, the haunted house has also been closed for the past few days, and it is deserted, even Song Mo is gone.

Xu Lan opened the cellar door and walked in again.

But this time, what she used was no longer Yan Shu's blood, but her own blood.

The red color seems to be the same as that of normal people, but it is deeper.

Xu Lan cut her index finger and wrote a string of strange characters on the table.

Even if ghosts use this kind of yin technique, it will damage the yin life.

Xu Lan would not use such a method if it was not a last resort.

And soon, those characters floated into the air as if they had life, and recomposed different characters.

That is also Cen Ruo's current hiding place, a deserted suburban middle school.

And those character fluctuations obviously prove that Cen Ruo's current situation is not very good, he should have just been injured or something.

The corners of Xu Lan's lips rose slightly.

That being the case, it can be considered that she has found a good time.

So Xu Lan rushed to the middle school immediately without delay.

This place has been deserted for too long. The former school signboard is now rusted and overgrown with weeds. It looks like a horror movie atmosphere.

Xu Lan thought that maybe her own secret room could also be improved, and built according to the appearance of this middle school.

The lock on the iron door broke and fell directly to the ground.

Xu Lan walked into the school expressionlessly.

The wind was blowing, making people shudder.

However, Xu Lan was too aware that what she was going to face next was Cen Ruo, and she was fully prepared.

Following the guidance of the spell, she walked to the classroom on the third floor and saw Cen Ruo.

Cen Ruo sat at the first row of tables, raised his head and stared at her firmly.

The glamorous red dress in the past was stained with dirt and even a little tattered. There were also a few deep scratches on her face, and the blood had dried up, but she looked extremely terrifying.

"It's you." Cen Ruo forced a smile, his face obviously relaxed a lot.

Xu Lan frowned and looked at her, but she already had a judgment in her heart.

Looking at these wound marks, it can only be done by Taoist priests. It seems that Jiang Shao took the first step to confront Cen Ruo head-on.

Sure enough, on the ground in front of him, there were still a few broken ghost exorcising charms.

As for Cen Ruo, Jiang Shao was obviously more terrifying, so she was relieved when she saw Xu Lan.

And Cen Ruo took the initiative to ask: "You came to me because of the things in Yanshu's family. I kept my promise and didn't do anything to Yanshu."

When she said this, she looked serious, but it made Xu Lan angry.

She didn't want to talk too much with Cen Ruo, so she did it directly.

Cen Ruo took a few steps back, "Wait, we shouldn't be fighting each other now."

Xu Lan looked at her without speaking.

And Cen Ruo went on to say: "You may not know yet, a celestial master has come to the imperial capital, and if he stays here, we both will die sooner or later."

Xu Lan smiled, "So? If I kill you now, as long as I leave this city, he may not be able to track down my tracks."

When Cen Ruo heard this, he also smiled enchantingly, "Xu Lan, do you really think that I have no ability at all in my life?"

"If you had, you would have killed Jiang Shao long ago, why waste your time talking to me here."

"Because my ability doesn't work on humans." Cen Ruo said this, his smile became brighter, "But it's different with ghosts, so no ghosts have dared to bully me these years."

"If a ghost attacks me, I can drag her to die together, no matter how powerful the ghost is. We succubi, call this death in the same hole, isn't it romantic?"

Xu Lan asked her back, "Then you are dead too, what's the point of doing this?"

"It's meaningless, it's too lonely just to be alone." Cen Ruo said and shrugged his shoulders, as if it was a matter of course.

Everything she said was true, and it was precisely because of this ability that she was able to survive under the watchful eyes of those evil spirits until now, and became stronger and stronger.

It's a pity that no matter how strong ghosts are, they are still no match for those celestial masters and Taoists, and can only survive in the dark.

But her life is not very good, being targeted by the celestial master of Zhengxinmen, it becomes even more difficult to survive.

But if she could deceive Xu Lan and her accomplice, then she would have some confidence.

Naturally, she could see Xu Lan's strength.

However, Xu Lan has never killed anyone, so those ghost powers can only be stored in her body, and cannot be directly used by her.

There is still too much disparity in strength between ordinary ghosts and evil ghosts.If Xu Lan kills some people, oh no, she only needs to kill one person, and she will become a ghost.

At that time, the Taoist priest from the Zhengxinmen will come to him, and if he meets Xu Lan, he must die.

So Cen Ruo said: "Why don't we cooperate, kill that Taoist priest, and we will all be safe in the future."

"And I promise you, as soon as that Taoist priest dies, I will leave this city."

Weird.

As long as the Taoist priest is dead, she will find a chance to kill Xu Lan, and then devour her.

Xu Lan is not an evil ghost, so the ghost power of his physical strength cannot be exerted to the extreme. It is really a waste and loses the dignity of a ghost

It's better to give it to her, and then she will become the most powerful evil spirit in the world.

"Sounds good." Xu Lan nodded, "Then I know, I won't attack you."

Cen Ruo thought that Xu Lan was moved by his words, and the smile on his face became more sincere, "In that case, then we..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the door was pushed open.

Wearing a peaked cap, the boy stood at the door and looked at them with a smile. Then he waved his left hand and greeted them directly, "Hey, what are you talking about?"

Cen Ruo's face turned white instantly, and she immediately realized something, because it was Xu Lan who came, so she let down her vigilance.

Cen Ruo gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Lan, I really underestimated you."

Xu Lan didn't speak, but just stepped back a few steps behind Jiang Shao.

Cen Ruo wanted to run away, but the moment he touched the glass behind him, he let out a cry of pain.

The entire hand that she touched the glass felt as if it had been burned by fire.

Obviously, this place has been drawn up.

A light blue formation gradually emerged on the ground, and Xu Lan happened to be standing on the edge of the formation.

There is no escape.

And Xu Lan didn't attack her now, so she couldn't drag Xu Lan into the water.

Cen Ruo looked at Jiang Shao with eyes full of anger, "Aren't you a celestial master? Exorcising demons and catching ghosts, you just watched an evil ghost alive beside you?"

Jiang Shao took off his peaked cap, and said casually: "Correct me, she is not an evil spirit."

"Those who have killed and those who haven't, I naturally have to deal with the former first."

After Jiang Shao finished speaking, he threw his peaked cap into the formation.

And the peaked cap immediately changed into a more violent flame, approaching Cen Ruo's direction.

Cen Ruo wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape.

She was swallowed up by the flames bit by bit, and her ghostly aura and soul dissipated into the world bit by bit along with howling in pain.

And the fire was also extinguished.

The classroom was the same as before, except that a ghost died, and not even a table or a chair was damaged in the slightest.

The fire itself is only effective against ghosts.

Xu Lan looked down at the ground in front of her with a calm expression.

Jiang Shao was called by her.

Before she came, she had already contacted her, and briefly explained the reason of the matter and her own identity.

No matter how powerful a ghost is, a ghost that has never killed a person cannot kill an evil ghost directly after all.

That is to say, even if she fights with Cen Ruo and hurts both, there is absolutely no possibility of completely eliminating Cen Ruo.

So her only way is to seek Jiang Shao's help.

Sure enough, the four characters "Evil does not suppress justice" are not just an idiom.

If Cen Ruo died, what she needed Jiang Shao's help to do would be over.

Next, it was her turn.

After all, she is also a ghost.

Jiang Shao's eyes fell on her, with some complexity and hesitation.

Xu Lan also looked up at him, and said in a low voice: "I am a businessman, so I understand some truths. Since I came to seek your help, I have made some preparations."

Now that Cen Ruo has lost his soul, it must be time for Father Yan to wake up.

When Yanshu wakes up tomorrow, she should know the good news.

Xu Lan thought that there would be a smile on her face, or she would cry because she was too happy.

It's a pity that she might not see Yan Shu's smile anymore.

But it's nothing, she has existed in this world for too long, and she has long felt that everything is boring.

Even if you leave now, you won't feel any pity.

As for the wish she made in front of the fireworks last night, since the gods cannot bless her, she will personally fulfill it for Yan Shu.

In fact, she still has a little bit of reluctance.

Just a little bit.

The author has something to say: "The gods don't protect you, but I can."
