When the police car arrived at the company, I finally understood why Zhao Xi couldn't continue his speech. It was because Sun Ya's death was too horrific.
I don’t know if it was due to a severe impact or squeezing, but her head was deformed, and even half of the scalp above the eyebrows was gone… Next to her were red and white clumps of matter. At first I thought it was the effect of a crushed watermelon, but then the employees nearby exclaimed: “Oh my god, her head is broken!”
Then I realized that these red and white clumps of matter were brain matter... I looked back, then turned around, then looked back again, and then... Looking at the pile of red and white matter next to Sun Ya's "head", I felt very complicated. I was trying to imagine the scene when Sun Ya had the accident. It was too tragic.
Su Xiaoniu smiled and said, "Last night, you stuck her head in salt-soaked soil for such a long time, and that was under the Five Elements Soul-Suppressing Bureau. How could Huo Yan endure such torture at that time? Naturally, she needed to find something to recover."
I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this. According to Su Xiaoniu, Sun Ya's death was still my fault?
Su Xiaoniu continued, "Now that Huo Yan has successfully emerged from her cocoon, this company can no longer restrain her. She could reappear at any time. Even more serious is that tragic cases like Sun Ya's will continue to occur, and Zhao Xi will be the first."
"Zhao Xi will die?" I was suddenly shocked and hurriedly asked Su Xiaoniu why, but Su Xiaoniu only told me to leave the company first and tell me what will happen next after I leave the company. At least Zhao Xi will be fine during the day.
Zhao Xi and Ning Xue were girls after all, so after a quick glance, they turned and went back. From afar, I watched Zhao Xi covering her mouth with her hands, looking like she wanted to cry but couldn't, and I felt even more annoyed.
As Sun Ya's body was taken away by the police car, Yu Jie patted my shoulder and said slyly, "Zhao Xi is in dire need of comfort right now. Why don't you take this opportunity...hmm?"
Of course I knew what he meant. I wanted to go, too, but all I could think about was how to save Zhao Xi. Even if I went, I wouldn't know what to say. If I said the wrong thing, it would only make Zhao Xi even more upset. I thought about it, then shook my head and said, "Boss Ning is here, so I'm not going."
"Destined to be alone!" Yu Jie gave me a thumbs up, and Wu Xin behind him also gave me a "not manly enough" expression.
I rolled my eyes, not wanting to argue any further. Instead, I told them to tell Ning Xue that I'd requested leave for the day. The company's two consecutive employee deaths had already thrown the entire company into a state of panic. Many employees were scrambling to deliver packages, unwilling to stay in the office even a moment longer. Consequently, many of the packages that had been piling up in the warehouse were cleared out in a single day.
I just wanted them to convey a message to Boss Ning.
As the sirens gradually faded away, the previously sunny weather suddenly became overcast and a drizzle began to fall. Against the backdrop of the dark atmosphere of two people dying in just two days, the entire express delivery company was surrounded by a gloomy energy, with a cold wind blowing, making people shudder.
After leaving the company, I asked Su Xiaoniu, what should I do next?
Su Xiaoniu said calmly: "Next, just find a nest and have a good sleep, and don't worry about other things."
"What about Zhao Xi? Isn't she going to die?" I felt like I was deceived by Su Xiaonu.
"Yes, they will all die." As expected, Su Xiaoniu's answer was straightforward. Ultimately, her real intention was for me to leave the company and never return, so that I could live in peace. But I knew Zhao Xi would be in trouble, and after Zhao Xi, several of my colleagues would probably die one after another. How could I bear to watch this?
"You're so heartless!" This made me very angry. Could ghosts be so heartless? How could I, a person who values friendship and loyalty, do this?
"You actually called me heartless? I'm doing this for your own good, and you... why are you so disobedient?" Su Xiaoniu said a few words to me with some disapproval. Perhaps seeing my stubborn temper, she could only sigh and said, "Alright. If you want to save Zhao Xi and your colleagues, you must be determined to die. Do you have the guts?"
I hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "I do!"
"Actually, I really want to hear you say no." Su Xiaoniu said helplessly: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not try to persuade you anymore. I will do my best to help you. After all, I have died once, so the worst that can happen is that my soul will be scattered."
Why does this sound so strange to me?
Afterward, Su Xiaoniu asked me to go to the flower and bird market. I knew I was going to spend money again! Sure enough, as soon as I entered the flower and bird market, Su Xiaoniu asked me to buy this and that, such as candles, incense, yellow paper, mineral water, porcelain bowls, cinnabar, brushes and ink, and two things that she said were magical instruments: one was a peach wood sword and the other was a round mirror.
Back at the company, I didn't go looking for Boss Ning and the others. Instead, I went straight to the staff dormitory. I was the only one living in this room, so no one would bother me. I put a bunch of things I had just bought from the flower and bird market on the bed.
"There's no Bagua mirror in this crappy place, so we can only use a round mirror instead." Su Xiaoniu cursed and asked me to hang the round mirror around my neck, close to my chest.
Put the peach wood sword, mineral water, and porcelain bowl aside for the time being. Su Xiaoniu asked me to prepare the yellow paper, cinnabar, pen and ink first. She wanted to teach me how to draw talismans!
I was a little excited. First, I had to grind the ink, which is actually cinnabar. After grinding the ink, Su Xiaoniu asked me to write the word "golden light" on yellow paper, and I had to use seal script. I looked at the yellow paper, which was only the size of a palm, and then began to write.
