Zhu Huai was Liu Xiang's canary, a bird in a cage. He was just a little too handsome with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, not much like a pampered plaything. Normally, if Liu Xiang moved ea...
Chapter 20: Mu Xiang's clone called his name in grievance
When Zhu Huai and Liu Mingyue walked into the company, Liu Tianshan sent them a photo of the deceased. The body was squeezed together and stuffed into the most ordinary trash can.
But for some reason, there was not a trace of blood at the scene, nor was there any mess, as if a mysterious force had stuffed the person directly into there. That small bucket was the deceased's home.
Liu Tianshan said: "It has already killed people, and now it may kill others."
Zhu Huai took a look and understood why Yang Yan did this. After being killed, he could only stay in the cave alone and seek death. He kept asking for help, but no one was willing to help him.
His revenge now was more like a catharsis. Thinking of this, Zhu Huai couldn't help but look at the little mermaid on his shoulder. Liu Xiang's situation was somewhat similar to Yang Yan's.
"What are you thinking? Are you going to capture that little devil and then purify him?"
Liu Xiang's voice came. Along the way, he seemed to be uninterested in everything around him and just stared at Zhu Huai.
More often than not, the little mermaid would hug Zhu Huai's neck and fall asleep, with her little head bouncing up and down, and occasionally rubbing against Zhu Huai's neck, which was a bit itchy.
"Do you think I should do this?" Zhu Huai asked back.
The little mermaid said: "Do you think his act of revenge is right?"
Zhu Huai didn't say anything. He just stared at the little mermaid in front of him quietly, with a hint of concentration in his dark eyes. Liu Xiang looked at him, but it was as if he was looking at a clear and transparent pool of water. It seemed that nothing could happen and nothing could cause ripples in it.
So, Liu Xiang also continued: "If it were me, then naturally anything that makes me unhappy would disappear."
Liu Xiang's tone was calm, and the cruelty and ruthlessness in his voice seemed to be softened by this calmness, becoming harmless. Liu Xiang said, "If it had made a decision long ago, why would it waste time here?"
After saying these words, Liu Xiang looked at Zhu Huai's reaction again, but the human in front of him just blinked and smiled at him. Liu Xiang didn't know what Zhu Huai was laughing at. He stared at the human's expression and wanted to kiss those smiling eyes.
Liu Xiang thought so and did it, but Zhu Huai held the little mermaid's head to prevent him from kissing her.
Liu Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him. Looking at those eyes with a hint of fierceness, Zhu Huai sighed and said, "I knew you would do this."
Zhu Huai rubbed his hands and looked at Liu Xiang. He had long known that Liu Xiang had personality problems. He was the so-called antisocial personality.
However, considering the experience of this priest, it is reasonable for him to think so.
Zhu Huai thought thoughtfully that Liu Xiang's character was paranoid and cruel. If someone else said this, it would probably just be talk, with limited ability, and would not be able to do anything shocking.
But the Liu Xiang in front of him could really put everything he said into action and turn the horrifying horror story into a real disaster.
Before his rebirth, he had no idea about the secret of Liu Xiang, but judging from Liu Xiang's character, those members of the Liu family who treated him like that might have been killed long ago.
But apart from this, Liu Xiang did not do anything else, or maybe he did it, but he didn't know it. Zhu Huai lowered his eyes. He didn't like this feeling. It was like they were together day and night, but he knew nothing about Liu Xiang.
Thinking about it this way, they really didn't understand each other in their previous life. Zhu Huai thought, no wonder Liu Xiang was unwilling to tell him anything.
Liu Xiang frowned in dissatisfaction, but it was only because the human refused to let him kiss him. To him, no matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as kissing the human in front of him.
The little mermaid clung to Zhu Huai's neck tightly like a sticky plaster, flicking its tail non-stop, as if it couldn't be shaken off no matter how hard it tried. But Zhu Huai stretched out his finger and pushed his head away.
Zhu Huai is a little busy now.
Suddenly, a scream was heard in the corridor ahead. Liu Mingyue pushed up his glasses, as if he was looking at something. His pupils glowed faintly, as if he saw something. Suddenly, a figure rushed towards them. He shouted, "Ghost! There's a ghost!"
Zhou Yongchang, with bloodshot eyes and disheveled hair, appeared in front of the two men. His briefcase had been thrown aside long ago. He looked extremely terrifying. He screamed and rushed towards them.
Seeing this, Zhu Huai's first reaction was to subconsciously raise his foot and kick.
In such a situation, people are scarier than ghosts. Zhou Yongchang was kicked hard and he groaned. He didn't look like a ghost at all.
Liu Mingyue watched this scene and couldn't help but applaud Zhu Huai's sharpness. He leaned over to take a look and recognized the man in front of him: "Zhou Yongchang? We finally found you."
He took a step forward, standing just in front of Zhu Huai, and made a silent gesture to him with his back to him.
Zhu Huai saw it. He looked at Zhou Yongchang and saw that this guy was pale, incoherent, and there seemed to be something on his neck. Looking closely, it looked like a big palm print.
He looked terrified, as if he had just escaped from Yang Yan's hands and was in a hurry to escape, but there was not a trace of sweat on his face.
Zhou Yongchang took a step back and looked at the two people in front of him warily. They didn't look like people from the company. The sudden appearance of two unfamiliar faces made Zhou Yongchang feel very strange. Liu Mingyue's next words made him feel extremely frightened.
Liu Mingyue said, "Zhou Yongchang, after hearing what I say next, don't be afraid."
Zhou Yongchang stared at him with wide eyes. Zhu Huai's kick just now made his stomach hurt. His pale face didn't look like it was caused by fear, but more like it was caused by pain.
Zhou Yongchang took a step back and asked, "Who are you? Are you here to see me?"
Liu Mingyue said: "I am the Heavenly Master entrusted by Shen Wan. He has told us everything. Just now, another colleague of yours died."
Liu Mingyue said tactfully, "That evil ghost is coming for you guys. It's already killed one person, and now it's your turn. If you don't want to die, I think it's better for you to come with me."
"How can I trust you?"
As Zhou Yongchang spoke, he stepped back, looking very nervous, suspecting that the two people in front of him were Yang Yan in disguise.
Now in his vision, the whole world was filled with Yang Yan's figure, and the air was filled with Yang Yan.
Liu Mingyue said, "You don't have to believe it. After all, the person Yang Yan is looking for is you."
Liu Mingyue muttered, "You've done something wrong, and now they've come after you. Even if you don't die this time, you'll still go to jail later."
For some reason, after hearing Liu Mingyue's words, Zhou Yongchang paused for a moment and asked, "What happened to you?"
Zhou Yongchang raised his head and looked at Liu Mingyue. His smile was very stiff: "Why do you want to meddle in other people's business?"
"How do you talk like that?" Liu Mingyue became a little dissatisfied.
He said, "Do you understand what it means to be brave and righteous? I'm telling you, I've already called the police. They already know what you did. If you turn yourself in now, you might be able to report it before anyone else."
Zhou Yongchang looked at them with a complicated expression, but his facial expression had slowly calmed down.
However, at this moment, a bell suddenly rang from the end of the corridor. Zhou Yongchang's body trembled. He lowered his head and said, "You shouldn't have gotten involved."
Zhu Huai looked around. Through the window, he saw that all the lights in the distance had dimmed. Looking around, it seemed as if this was the only place in the world with lights still on.
Zhu Huai said: "There is another person with you, right? Where is Peng Qiu now?" No matter whether he is dead or alive, he can't just leave him here.
Zhou Yongchang raised his face. Under the dim light, his skin was pale and looked like a piece of paper.
He said: "Peng Qiu said he was going to the toilet, but I waited for a long time but still didn't see him come back.
When I went over, I found that no one was in the toilet, but I could hear his voice.
"I was forced into a toilet cubicle. I didn't dare to make a sound. I only heard someone outside calling my name. I knew it was Yang Yan. He was looking for me."
“His footsteps stopped at the door of the cubicle I was in and all I could see was his shoes, which were covered in mud and water.
It was the same as the day I went on the trip with him. I was so scared that I kept begging for mercy and apologizing to him.
“Just as I was about to break down, the shoes disappeared from under the cubicle and I thought he was gone.
I walked out of the cubicle and wanted to wash my face, but I saw him standing behind me, and his hand was about to push my head down.
Zhou Yongchang burst into tears and said, "Peng Qiu hasn't come back for so long. I suspect he's dead."
He looked pitiful, but it was hard to feel sympathy for him. Liu Mingyue scratched his head and said, "Then you are lucky.
Your colleague was put into the trash can, I wonder if the toilet trash can can fit you."
He looked at Zhou Yongchang's body size, and then realized that this was something beyond the limits of a trash can.
Zhu Huai said: "Okay, now that we've found the person, why not leave now."
Zhou Yongchang seemed to want to say something, but Liu Mingyue and Zhu Huai grabbed him without saying anything, and then sandwiched him between them, one on the left and one on the right.
Zhou Yongchang shrank his head like a quail, his skin was warm, revealing the temperature of a living person.
Zhu Huai looked at Zhou Yongchang and found that there seemed to be something in his pocket, with a corner faintly visible, which looked like a folded amulet.
They were looking for Peng Qiu, but they finally found him unconscious in the toilet.
The moment he opened his eyes and saw Zhou Yongchang, he seemed to be frightened. He scrambled back in panic, pointing at Zhou Yongchang and shouting, "Ghost! There's a ghost!"
"Who are you?" Peng Qiu said, "Why are you with him? Stay away from me, get out of here, you damned bastards!"
An interesting situation occurred. Peng Qiu and Zhou Yongchang were both pointing at each other and calling each other ghosts. Peng Qiu's figure retreated backwards, almost sticking to the mirror in the bathroom.
At this time, Zhou Yongchang seemed to have seen something. He stared at the scene blankly. Peng Qiu leaned against the mirror, but there was no figure of him in the mirror.
Zhou Yongchang took a step back. At that moment, he suddenly felt like crying. He was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. He could only shake his head and say, "Don't believe him..."
Zhu Huai and Liu Mingyue looked at this scene as if they were watching a play. Their expressions were so cold that Peng Qiu, who had been shouting fiercely just now, slowly stopped.
Liu Mingyue's pupils glowed faintly, and he said, "Don't stop. Although it's a bit awkward, I can still continue to cooperate with you."
"Yang Yan, come with us."
Zhu Huai turned around and said to "Zhou Yongchang" behind him, "We have already called the police. They will receive the punishment they deserve."
Zhou Yongchang slowly raised his face. Tears were still on his face, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are all good people."
Zhou Yongchang said: "But what's the point of calling the police? Can I live again? I want to live. What have I done wrong?"
Zhu Huai remained unmoved. He looked a little cold. “This isn’t a request. I’m informing you.”
Liu Mingyue stood beside him, and even he didn't dare to say anything in front of Zhu Huai at this moment.
At some point, Zhu Huai had already produced several talismans, and Liu Mingyue even had a magical weapon in her hand. Zhou Yongchang said angrily, "They all deserve to die. They owe me this!"
"Illusions are useless to us," Zhu Huai said, "you'd better put away these tricks."
As Zhu Huai finished speaking, the talisman in his hand flew out, and everything around him shattered like an illusion. "Zhou Yongchang" stood in front of them, but at this moment, he looked different.
His face seemed to be forcibly stuffed with another face, giving it a strange posture as if it were kneaded together like dough.
His hands became very thin and long, as if they were trying to crawl out of a cave. Zhou Yongchang's face had his eyes tightly closed, while Yang Yan's face was looking at them viciously.
Without any communication, Yang Yan controlled the body and ran in a certain direction without hesitation. Liu Mingyue did not expect that when facing the evil ghost, the evil ghost turned around and ran away.
But even so, he still took out his trick weapon, which was an ancient and old pair of scissors with a sharp blade.
He opened his pupils wide, as if he saw something, rushed forward, and slashed at Yang Yan's back.
At that moment, Yang Yan let out a shrill howl. He turned around and stared at Liu Mingyue with half of his face. The half of his face that belonged to Zhou Yongchang seemed to be stimulated and was slowly waking up.
It was the first time that Zhu Huai saw the battle between the Heavenly Master and the evil spirit. It had to be said that Liu Mingyue was indeed the heir of the Liu family, and Yang Yan had almost no ability to fight back when facing him.
The scissors in Liu Mingyue's hand only cut lightly a few times, almost cutting off the connection between Yang Yan and Zhou Yongchang. However, at this moment, the bell sound that had been heard before rang again.
"Ding ding dang dang." The crisp sound of the tower bells made Liu Mingyue pause, and Zhu Huai was almost affected by the bells.
His thoughts seemed to have reached the depths of some temple. When he raised his head, he could hear the clear and melodious sound of the tower bells hanging under the willow tree.
Zhu Huai's attention fell on the tall willow tree. As he looked at the willow tree, he inexplicably felt an extremely strong sense of familiarity in his heart.
It was as if he was once staying in the Liu family's ancestral home. He lay under the willow tree in the ancestral home, lazily avoiding the sun. When he passed over the twisted and tangled branches, he could see the bright sunlight pouring out from the lush branches and leaves.
Yang Yan's illusion could not control Zhu Huai, and the sound of the tower bell could not control him either, but what really attracted Zhu Huai's attention was the willow tree that flashed by in the illusion.
This wasn't the first time he had seen these things. Looking at the little mermaid on his shoulder, Zhu Huai asked, "Did you notice anything?"
Liu Xiang, who had been watching all this, shook his tail and rushed out like an arrow. The sound of tinkling bells came again, but this time the melody seemed unusually rapid.
Zhu Huai slowly approached Yang Yan. He looked at the ferocious face and couldn't help asking, "Who told you to do this?"
Zhu Huai asked, "What on earth is in your pocket?"
His tone was harsh, and his clear black eyes finally revealed an indescribable sharpness, carrying an extremely strong sense of oppression at this moment.
Yang Yan's ferocious body was so close to him, but he pressed a piece of talisman paper on Yang Yan's body without saying a word, and stretched out his hand to take out the amulet from Yang Yan's pocket.
He opened the talisman and did not see the familiar curse words. Inside the talisman, there was only a small willow branch.
Zhu Huai looked at this scene, and his eyes changed. This willow branch had the aura of Liu Xiang. He was extremely certain that this willow branch... must have some connection with Liu Xiang.
As if sensing Zhu Huai's breath, the small willow branch slowly stretched out at this moment.
The soft branches and leaves curled up together slowly unfolded, revealing an indescribable laziness, as if a sleeping being was slowly waking up because of Zhu Huai's arrival.
The willow branch trembled and slowly approached Zhu Huai, then wrapped around his fingers, greedily absorbing the breath from his body.
Zhu Huai's breathing trembled slightly, and the resonance from the contract made his body tremble uncontrollably.
Before he knew it, his skin was covered with willow leaf-like lines.
Zhu Huai's pupils shrank slightly, but at this moment, he saw the willow tree again.
The hoarse and mocking sounds were very close. Several monks, with their heads lowered, surrounded the willow tree and muttered some filthy spells.
Compared to the last time I saw it, this willow tree seemed to have grown taller, but there were also more talismans on its body.
Talismans were nailed to its body, and the willow trunk below the talismans was covered with protruding tumors, like parasites living on the willow tree.
The juice overflowing from the willow tree brings some kind of evil power to these ordinary talismans, and the resentment generated by the talismans will return to the willow tree.
Zhu Huai couldn't help but get closer to the willow tree. The closer he got, the more he felt as if there was a very intimate existence in front of him, and it would not hurt him.
This is indeed the case. The curses and resentments surrounding the willow tree did not affect Zhu Huai at all.
He walked to the willow tree, just like crossing a dark black river, walking towards the owner of the black river. Zhu Huai looked at it and couldn't help but whispered Liu Xiang's name: "Liu Xiang..."
"Prime Minister Liu." He kept calling out, but the willow tree seemed to be in dead silence, without any response.
The spells surrounding him were getting louder and louder. Zhu Huai had a splitting headache, as if something was poured into his brain. The power generated by the spells was like several sharp knives, fiercely cutting his brain.
Zhu Huai stood in front of the willow tree. His skin was pale and he bent over, as if he was about to vomit something.
A little blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but even so, he continued to shout: "Liu Xiang..."
His voice was a little low, with a hint of pain, and he called Liu Xiang's name in grievance.
Those spells that carried the power of curse and binding suddenly stopped at this moment, and it was as if a strong wind was blown away from the bottom, causing those monks to be blown away.
Nothing others did to the willow tree could awaken it from its deep sleep, but the damage Zhu Huai suffered at this moment finally made a certain sleeping being open its eyes.
"What's wrong with you, human?"
A voice as gentle as jade came from the willow tree, and willow branches drooped down one by one.
They fell on Zhu Huai like a rain, entwined his hands and feet, and pulled him over without any explanation or disobedience.
A tall and beautiful figure slowly condensed on the willow tree. Its lower body was connected to the trunk, and the area below the waist was covered with dense vines, while its upper body was a familiar face.
But the silky black hair now looked like slender vines, and the dark golden pupils turned into a deep green.
He reached out and dragged Zhu Huai in front of him, gently lifted his chin with his fingers, and looked closely at the person in front of him.
He smiled and said, "You are so cute. You came to me on your own initiative. Do you want to dedicate yourself to me?"
His smile was so beautiful, warm and touching, his dark green eyes were tinged with a hint of dark gold, his appearance was flawless, but his body was like a giant.
He said slowly, "I am willing to accept this sacrifice. Now that you have become mine, you must obey me and be mine alone."
