Chapter 890 Chapter 7: The Truth
It's already around 9 o'clock in the evening.
Xia Yue parked the car in front of a supermarket. Li Muhan went to buy some Coke and snacks and got back into the car.
"Xiao Linglong, now you have met everyone you need to meet." Li Muhan unpacked the potato chips and fed them to Xia Yue who was sitting next to him in the back seat, while asking Yue Linglong in the passenger seat.
"I'd like to hear your opinion on what to do next."
"Should we go get rid of that vengeful spirit, or do you have any other ideas?"
Yue Linglong held the Coke can in her hand, saying nothing.
Finally, she seemed to think about it for a long time before she sighed and said.
"Li... Um, Brother, did you and Master often do these things before?"
"Well, how should I put it, it's not that often." Li Muhan opened the car window, leaned on the car door and looked at the sky and said.
"It's just that your master came to ask me for a favor, so I will definitely go and accompany him. In fact, don't look at your master as usually carefree. When it comes to certain things, he is more persistent than anyone else."
Yue Linglong took a sip of Coke, then said with a barely perceptible wry smile on her face.
"He's clearly only trying to act cool in front of me, even though he's not handsome at all... and he's always making a fool of himself. Last time, during the Prometheus incident, as soon as he put on the helmet, before the connection was even established, he fainted and even peed himself..."
"Fuck! He was bragging to me that he could withstand all of Prometheus's brain attacks. I thought he was really that awesome, but he's already dead before he even started."
"Yes, Master has always been so strong-willed, but in the eyes of others, Master seems like a fool... Everyone likes Master's senior brother, Uncle Xie Chengtian. Even Uncle Wei Xingchang's reputation now surpasses Master's back then."
"Everyone is stronger than Master, but..."
"But he was the only one who found you in the rubble and even sacrificed his already unhealthy lifespan to give you a new life, right?"
Li Muhan asked with a smile.
"New student..." Yue Linglong looked at the can of Coke in her hand and then sighed.
"So... is this considered a freshman, Master..."
Finally, after she finished the Coke in one gulp, she looked at Li Muhan in the rearview mirror and said.
"Let's go, brother... let's go to Tianhai City University."
Xia Yue frowned and asked.
"Are you still going to get rid of that evil spirit?"
Li Muhan pinched Xia Yue's face and said, "Alright, this isn't your home court, don't steal the show, just drive away."
"snort."
Xia Yue bumped Li Muhan's nose with her head, then climbed directly from the back seat to the driver's seat.
During this time, he also kicked Li Muhan lightly in the face with his sneakers.
...
...
At 10 o'clock in the evening, everyone arrived at Tianhai City University. One thing that is better than high school is that the university does not control outsiders very well.
So the three of them entered the school easily.
Because this is Li Muhan and Xia Yue’s alma mater.
While they were studying, the abandoned gymnasium remained there and was not demolished.
This is also one of the school's top ten unsolved mysteries.
Why does the school insist on keeping this building and not demolishing it?
Li Muhan, Xia Yue and Yue Linglong stood in front of the gymnasium door, looking at the gymnasium door with a big lock on it and said with a smile.
"I encountered this situation before when I went to the orphanage with Sister Xue Yin Qi. Let me show you how to do it. Yin Qi taught me this, and I'm a master at it."
Li Muhan took out a pin from somewhere, then squatted on the ground and started to open the lock in an obscene manner.
"Although I don't know what Yin Qi taught him, but Yin Qi must not be so despicable." Xia Yue said to Yue Linglong.
"...Sister Yin Qi is very handsome, but why... when he does this, it feels... too vulgar."
"Hey, you two, I'm still alive. Gossiping about me behind my back is just..."
Click——
A crisp sound was heard.
Both girls looked at Li Muhan in surprise.
Could it be that it’s really open?!
"Oh my god, the pin broke."
......The two girls' eyes were instantly filled with contempt again.
"Don't worry, I expected this situation to happen." Li Muhan took out the second pin from somewhere.
But then there was another clicking sound.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Li Muhan's face.
"Haha, it's broken again. Don't worry, I still have..."
Click——
When the third pin broke inside, Li Muhan stood up and looked back at the two girls with a serious expression on his face, like a doctor issuing a terminal illness notice.
"There's no hope. It's blocked."
"Get out of the way."
Xia Yue pushed Li Muhan away, and with a slight wave of her hand, her fingers instantly turned into sharp claws, cutting off the huge lock directly.
"Now, who is the master?" Xia Yue tapped Li Muhan's chest lightly with her finger, then smiled, pushed open the door and walked into the gymnasium.
"Well, Xiao Linglong, actually, I'm not in a good mood today, I..."
"Let's go, Master."
Yue Linglong said something sarcastic and followed Xia Yue in.
"...it must be the pin."
Li Muhan threw away the broken half of the pin in his hand and followed him into the gymnasium.
This gymnasium is very old and it's obvious that no one has been here for a long time.
Moonlight poured in through the broken window, illuminating a corner of the room.
Dust dances in the light. They are particles of time, floating lightly in the air, as if telling of the hustle and bustle and vitality that once existed here.
The interior of the gymnasium is empty and silent, with only the occasional sound of wind and the creaking of wooden boards reminding people of its former bustle.
In the branch of the gymnasium, which is also the swimming pool, the swimming pool lies quietly. Fallen leaves and debris are floating on the surface of the water, which has not been changed for who knows how long. The water looks turbid and no longer clear.
The tiles of the swimming pool are peeling and the edges are covered with moss. The water, which was once crystal clear, now only has traces of time.
"well."
Li Muhan walked to the edge of the swimming pool, imagining that a living being had once perished here, and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Sometimes humans are so powerful that they can use their brains to defeat the most powerful supercomputer in the world.
Sometimes, we are so fragile that our lives may be taken away by the calm water.
Life is unpredictable.
At this moment, Yue Linglong seemed to have noticed something. She pinched the yellow talisman between her fingers and muttered something.
"Soul, return, there is no distance you cannot reach. Soul, return, there is no nearness you cannot reach. Soul, return, there is no darkness you cannot illuminate. The Three Officials have mercy on you and guide your soul home. Supreme Lord Laojun, please show yourself as soon as the law commands you."
After the spell was recited, the yellow talisman in his hand suddenly began to burn.
Then Li Muhan and Xia Yue saw a magical scene.
The dirty pool of water in front of him was gradually becoming clear, as if it had returned to its original state.
Slowly, a figure emerged from the pool of water. It was a girl in a swimsuit.
She swam very fast, like a happy fish in the swimming pool.
Then she swam to the shore and appeared in front of everyone.
"Who...are you?"
The girl climbed onto the shore, took off her swimming cap, and her long black hair fell down.
"Do you know who you are?" Yue Linglong asked with a smile.
The girl looked at everyone, then looked at the pool behind her, and finally seemed to remember something.
"I know, I'm Feng Yingxue, um..." But soon she seemed to look at Yue Linglong hesitantly.
"Am I... already dead?"
Li Muhan and Xia Yue were both stunned and realized that something was wrong.
But Yue Linglong nodded slightly as if she had already known it.
"Yes."
"Ayang must be very sad..."
The girl looked a little embarrassed and anxious, which made her look even more adorable.
"Are you talking about Meng Yang?" Li Muhan asked, "Are you really dating him?"
Feng Yingxue blushed slightly and said, "Hmm..."
"Your soul has been wandering in this gymnasium without passing away, and now that I've awakened you, the first thing you worry about is your boyfriend, instead of feeling sorry for yourself because you're already dead?"
Yue Linglong asked.
"Well, how should I put it?" The girl tapped the ground lightly with her foot and said while twisting her wet long hair.
"Although I am indeed sad about my death, I am even sadder that I can't fulfill my promise to Ayang."
"What promise?" Yue Linglong asked.
"Ayang is a taciturn person. He likes to keep things to himself. He has always disapproved of me continuing swimming because my heart isn't very healthy. I think I overtrained that night and it was too much for my body to handle, so I had a heart attack in the pool."
"etc."
Li Muhan suddenly realized the problem.
"Your cause of death was a heart attack? Didn't you drink...that sports drink mixed with honey and water?"
Feng Yingxue was still twisting her hair which might never dry, and then looked at Li Muhan puzzledly.
"Huh? Honey water? I'm allergic to honey water. I never drink honey water, and I never drink beverages before exercising."
Li Muhan was stunned, but Yue Linglong coughed twice and said to Li Muhan with a smug look on her face.
"Brother, haven't you carefully read the investigation files? There's an autopsy report at the end. The real cause of Feng Yingxue's death was second-degree atrioventricular block and acute myocardial infarction with myocardial ischemia. She didn't drown."
"Ah... this, I, I, hey, I haven't finished reading it."
Li Muhan scratched his head. He didn't expect that he would be tricked by this little girl here.
"Before you teach others, at least set an example yourself, brother."
Yue Linglong gently poked Li Muhan with her whisk, then turned and looked at Feng Yingxue and said.
"Can you tell me what kind of agreement you and Meng Yang have?"
"Well, this... is really embarrassing." Feng Yingxue intertwined her two fingers, feeling a little embarrassed to speak. "Although... I am indeed dead, but this kind of thing would be embarrassing even if I were dead."
"But this matter is very important." Yue Linglong looked at Feng Yingxue seriously.
"Why?" Feng Yingxue looked at Yue Linglong puzzledly.
"Because Meng Yang... might be carrying out unjust revenge on your behalf right now."
...
...
Inpatient department of a hospital in Tianhai City.
Xie Zhenchen woke up on the hospital bed. It was already night outside the window. She stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
She could feel that Feng Yingxue was right beside her. She was always watching her and never intended to let her go.
Since I'm going to die, it doesn't matter where I die.
So she slowly sat up and pulled out the infusion tube.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a shadow in the shadow of the ward.
The shadow was slowly approaching her step by step.
Tears streamed down Xie Zhenchen's face.
She knew that it was Feng Yingxue's ghost coming to take her away.
"Yingxue... Senior Sister is sorry... Senior Sister didn't mean to kill you... Senior Sister knows that her sin is unforgivable... You... take me away..."
Then a big hand slowly grabbed Xie Zhenchen's neck.
Xie Zhenchen felt something was wrong.
This hand...is warm, and it is very rough and big. It is a man's hand.
The man's hands gradually began to exert force, making it increasingly difficult for her to breathe.
Xie Zhenchen suddenly opened her eyes, and in the dim moonlight, she saw the man's face.
“…Meng, Meng Yang…! What…what are you…going to do!!”
"You...took away my beloved...you, took her...just because of your disgusting and despicable joke...you beasts, scum...I won't forgive you. For ten years, I remember that day every day. I remember every day...you damn beasts, do you think that if you visit her grave every year, she will forgive you?"
"No... Even if she forgives you, I won't... I've watched you perform for ten years. I don't care if you're truly suffering inside... But now is the time... Tomorrow that old gymnasium will be demolished, and I can no longer protect any evidence of her existence."
Tears dripped down Xie Zhenchen's face.
"Meng...Yang...it turns out it's always been you...cough cough..."
Xie Zhenchen's struggle became weaker and weaker, but the man did not intend to let go.
"Ten years!! Ten years!! I haven't forgotten for a single day!! Give it back to me!! Give Yingxue back to me!!"
Snap——
At this moment, the lights came on.
A whisk gently swept across Meng Yang's face.
The tall man was knocked back and fell heavily to the ground.
"...Amitabha Buddha."
Yue Linglong stood in front of Meng Yang, and sighed as she looked at the man with tears streaming down his face and murderous intent in his eyes.
