Li Shengru walked on this familiar yet unfamiliar mountain road.
The reason why it is "familiar" is that more than ten years ago, she would come here almost every once in a while; and the reason why it is "strange" is that she has never set foot here again since then.
Time and again, my brother's almost silent cries for help echoed in my mind.
Li Shengru knew what it was like to be surrounded by cold and malicious resentment. She was a gentle child who was willing to fulfill the wishes of evil spirits, but why did such a gentle child have to suffer such misfortune?
After the Ghost Gate opens, the Yin energy spreads and the ghosts become more powerful.
But at the same time, the other party will inevitably be immersed in deeper and deeper darkness.
Can't come back.
Since she couldn't bring her brother back to the world of the living, at least she would send him into reincarnation herself.
She choked up but made up her mind firmly, but she never thought...
Just like her brother blocked the evil spirit more than 20 years ago, the child stood in front of her again.
She knew that the essence of the Life Path Technique was actually to transform energy into different forms, and that the resentment in her body had been dissipated to almost nothing. In the end, where did the majestic spiritual power come from?
She refused from the bottom of her heart, but the answer was extremely clear.
——It’s the soul.
But he was so gentle that even in his final farewell, he had to pretend to be entering the cycle of reincarnation again.
Obviously she is the older sister, she was the one born first...
She thought about how self-righteous she was at that time, and how she thought she could bring relief to the other person...but it was clearly she who pushed the other person to the final outcome, and it was she who buried her brother with her own hands.
The curse of twins?
The statement that she had originally sneered at suddenly emerged in her mind, but this time she was no longer able to refute it loudly.
——Is her existence originally a disaster for life?
The disaster twenty years ago, the nightmare ten years ago, and the ruins today.
——It’s her fault! It’s all her fault!!!

Xiang Zhengqi fell behind because he was helping Zhuang Zhan deal with the ghost that left a mark. When he finally caught up with Li Shengru, he saw her sitting on the ground, staring at a pile of ruins. The chaotic spiritual power around her was surging, so much so that the dust and gravel next to her floated up, and even formed a small storm without her consciousness.
This state...
Xiang Zhengqi's face changed, and he left Zhuang Zhan and walked forward quickly. Before Li Shengru could react, he chopped her on the back of the neck with a knife and reached out to catch her falling body.
But by the time he really realized what the lingering aura in the ruins was, his pupils shrank, and the ground under his feet was cracked like spider webs by the sudden surge of spiritual power.
Zhuang Zhan:? ! !
Zhuang Zhan, who came here with the two big guys, had no idea what was going on. The high-risk scene in front of him frightened him so much that he dared not ask any more questions and could only do whatever they told him to do.
Even after he got on the bus, he remained silent and didn't dare to make any noise.
The man next to him had a solemn expression on his face. Even though he was still wearing the same sportswear as when he came, his aura was completely different from the decadent aura he had when they first met today. If the other person had this kind of temperament at the beginning, Zhuang Zhan would definitely not have failed to recognize him.
After putting the unconscious Li Shengru in the back seat, Xiang Zhengqi sat in the driver's seat and turned the key.
As the engine started, he spoke, "Tell me about your first two visits."
Zhuang Zhan certainly had no reason to hide anything. After witnessing the scene that could be described as a cult scene, he did not dare to conceal it. He recounted his experiences of the two times he came to Ghost Mountain in detail and recalled them again and again, fearing that he had missed anything.
Xiang Zhengqi listened to it with a serious face, agreed, and then asked: "Can you still contact him? I have something to ask him."
He was asking about Han Lenian who had entered the cave.
Under this inexplicable sense of oppression, Zhuang Zhan hurriedly replied: "Yes, I'll ask."
He took out his cell phone and was about to make a call, but he noticed that the time on the lock screen was already late at night, and hesitated for a moment.
Xiang Zhengqi caught a glimpse of this scene, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel twice, interrupting Zhuang Zhan's action of dialing the number, and said, "Give me the contact information first."
There is no way out, and there are traces of people raising ghosts with resentment...
...The familiar style of fighting against the instinct to drive people away, and the familiar smell that remained...
If that's what he thought.
The result...
——Reinvoke the person back to the world, only to make him relive the tragedy of falling into the ghost, or even become a ghost servant.
Is this revenge for their playing with life and death and reversing reincarnation? !
“Crack—”
When Zhuang Zhan saw the steering wheel being forcibly broken off, he was so horrified that his expression went blank.
——Help, help!!!
Chu Lu received a call early in the morning.
"Lulu, you said before that you don't remember anything from the past?"
Chu Lu glanced at his phone in confusion, not knowing why Han Lenian suddenly called to ask about this, but he didn't dwell on it and told the truth: "I really didn't remember it before, but I remembered part of it some time ago."
The person on the other side's breathing stagnated.
Han Lenian spent the whole night tossing and turning because of the NPC named "Lulu" in "Seeing the Difference". He knew it was ridiculous to put the game characters into reality, but the sense of déjà vu was too strong. Moreover, the game called "Seeing the Difference" was not just an ordinary game. He could even feel a faint resentment from those so-called "little monsters".
Due to various factors, Han Lenian made this impulsive phone call to confirm.
But he hadn't actually thought about what he was going to say, and was still hesitating and struggling over how to start the conversation, but he didn't expect the other party to drop such a bomb at him.
Remember... ?
His mind went blank for a moment, and he finally understood the hidden meaning of this line a little late -
Does that mean going back, back to your old home?
The vague fear that had been in his mind for a long time suddenly came true, and Han Lenian didn't know how to react.
When he came to his senses, he found that he had unknowingly asked the question in his mind, "Are you going home?"
He held his breath as he blurted out the question, waiting intently for the answer from the other side.
There was silence on the other side.
Han Lenian's uneasy mood gradually cooled down. He felt that he had asked a stupid question: What reason would there be for a child not to go home and be with his real relatives?
Han Lenian forced a smile, but then remembered that the other party couldn't see his expression through the phone.
So, he gave up this useless effort and tried his best to make his tone light, "Lulu, when did you remember it? Why didn't you tell your brother? Where is it? In S City? Do you still remember the exact location? School will be over tomorrow, and there is a week's vacation. I will take you there..."
Han Lenian asked too many questions at once, and Chu Lu answered them one by one, "I just remembered that it was only a few days ago. It wasn't in S City. It was in Beijing City. I remember."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the receiver. Han Lenian was even glad that he had said this on the phone. Otherwise, if Lulu saw his current expression, he would really have lost all his authority as a brother, even though that thing seemed to have never existed in the first place.
He tried to convince himself that it wasn't like they would never see each other again. Even though he wasn't his biological brother, he had called him his brother for a whole year, so it wasn't like he had no feelings for him at all... Although S City and Beijing City were a little far away, it might be difficult to go back and forth on weekends, but he could still go there during the holidays... He could still call and video chat during normal times...
After a brief silence, Han Lenian heard a child's hesitant voice, "Maybe it's better for me not to go back."
Han Lenian:?
A distorted sound came out of the receiver, which entered his ears and was analyzed by his brain through nerve conduction. Han Lenian almost jumped up, thinking to himself, "How could such a good thing exist?"
He blurted out, "That's great...uh, no, I mean...why?"
After regaining his sanity, Han Lenian finally noticed that his expression just now was too abnormal, and had caused several passing classmates to look back. However, because he had been chased by those invisible things since he was a child, and was forced to "perform art" too many times, he was already able to accept this situation well. He turned his body very naturally and turned his head to avoid these gazes.
Chu Lu hesitated for a moment, and then concluded succinctly, "My existence is considered a stain on the family. It may have a bad influence on my sister when I return."
It was a huge scandal that a disciple of the Heavenly Master family turned into an evil ghost, not to mention that he was once the young master of the Li family. In the original plot, after he turned into a ghost, the first reaction of the Li family was to deal with Li Shenglu secretly, but because of Li Shengru's little trick, he was let go. Even so, the other party still persevered in hunting him down for a while, and after failing, he simply erased his identity. Since then, the Li family has no longer had such a young master.
Although Chu Lu was sure that his current body was indeed human, there was no way to explain it. After he returned, the first choice of the old guys would probably be to kill him while he was still weak; the second choice would be to secretly capture him and lock him up for research; the third and fourth choices were probably not good options either.
Although Li Shengru became the head of the Li family after the plot ended, in such a large family, even the head of the family would probably be constrained by the elders. Chu Lu believed that Li Shengru was willing to protect his younger brother, but in order to do this, he would have to exchange some interests. Having played many villains, Chu Lu was very familiar with this set of rules.
In short, compared to him suddenly going back and forcing Li Shengru to give in, Chu Lu felt that it would be good to be far away and have a chance to see each other.
Plus, the ending of "the hero and heroine saved the world, and the younger brother also reincarnated" was already pretty good, and I felt happy.
