Styx Doll (XII)
There was an uncomfortable silence in the room.
He Guang patted the table lightly, "Well... everyone should not be so serious, there is still a solution to the problem, right?"
Hawthorn glanced at her, nodded and said, "Yes, I need something to reinforce the seal."
He Guang pushed the boat along and said, "That's easy. We'll buy whatever you need."
The two boys nodded quickly.
Hawthorn said, "I'll write a list tomorrow."
He Guang finally managed to get over the situation on his side, and quickly showed concern for his comrades, "Student Shen, did you encounter any problems?"
The two boys talked about their experiences.
Being under mental attack for so many days was not without benefits. After the initial panic, they calmed down and found the flaws in the dream.
But I didn't expect that the real crisis would come after I woke up.
"We opened the door to look for you, and saw a black mist in the corridor forming a human figure, which seemed to want to attack us."
Chen Mengze frowned slightly, "But just when it was about to touch us, a gray barrier blocked it."
Shanzha couldn't help but glance at Heguang when he heard this. "So they were trying to hold me back by the river. I was wondering why they didn't try to attack me today... I thought if we drove them away, you would be safe."
When Youyi heard this, he felt a little strange, "You didn't expect it to come back, then..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt someone kick his calf. He immediately looked at Chen Mengze, and Chen Mengze also looked at him quietly.
Soon, Shen Mengze looked away, "What is in the river? Why are they so obsessed with outsiders like us?"
This is a very crucial question, so You Yi had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
But he did not forget to glare at Shen Mengze, what the hell are you doing?
He Guang didn't notice their little actions, she was very thankful, "Fortunately I left Ah Lin here, if it weren't for his protection, Shen and the others might have been killed."
The system also echoed affectionately, "He used his sinful soul to save two lives. I believe he must be very pleased."
[You guys just take advantage of the fact that A-Lin is dead and bully him as much as you can]
[Be careful to make him angry hahahaha]
[For this kind of crazy behavior, I want to say it's well done]
[Alin is in pain, but he can’t express it]
[I always feel like I've overlooked something]
It was already late at night when they discussed the matter. As a primary school student, Shanzha should have gone to bed long ago, so he went to bed.
There were three people left. He Guang looked at Shen Mengze who was in deep thought, and then looked at You Yi who was rubbing his water cup with his head down. They knew that they had received too much information that night and they needed some quiet time.
So she said, "Student Shen, aren't you tired? I don't think those things will come tonight, let's sleep separately!"
You Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "Brother, now you remember that you are a girl."
"It's okay, you can continue to treat me as a brother." He Guang stood up. Seeing that Chen Mengze was worried, she thought he was still worried about the future, and comforted him, "Don't worry about the river. I believe it will be resolved soon."
You Yi interrupted, "Are you so confident in that brat?"
"They have saved us several times, why don't you have confidence?" He Guang, who was not in the category of being rescued and did not feel guilty about saying this, said this.
Shen Mengze looked up at them but said nothing, "Then go to bed early!"
After He Guang left, You Yi asked lazily, "What's wrong with you today? You look so weird. Are you scared?"
"fine."
Chen Mengze lowered his head and spread out his palm, on which lay a small sachet. The bright red brocade had turned black and the contents inside had turned to ashes, as if to indicate that it had once protected them from a disaster.

On the second day, Shanzha went to cram school as usual. He and Guang studied the list he left behind and prepared to go out to purchase separately.
You Yi took a look and said, "It's true that the handwriting is not bad, and it fits the style of a model student. However, even a savior cannot escape the clutches of Homework-kun."
Shen Mengze's face looked much better than before, finally not as gloomy as before. He patted You Yi's back.
"Less talk, more work."
The three of them took a taxi to go to the city to buy things.
When I go out, I don’t dare to cruise around without a driver’s license.
The driver is dead, and now they are the focus of investigation. If they are caught driving without a license, it will be even more exciting.
Although the small town is not as prosperous as the big cities where they live, it has a long history and the buildings have largely retained the old style, making it look quite elegant.
The three of them walked side by side on the busy street, and they all had the illusion of returning to the human world.
At the request of the audience, He Guang has not turned off the live broadcast these two days. Seeing them walking in the small town with the atmosphere of fireworks, the audience is also filled with emotion.
[Every time I finish watching the live broadcast of the supernatural dimension, I go out for a big meal and feel that life is so good]
[Me too, me too, I had that feeling, how do I put it, I’m at a loss for words…]
[Nothing matters more than life and death]
[Yes, yes, yes, yes]
[But I only dare to say this to the anchor, the other anchors all look so depressed
If I say this to them again, it would be like stabbing them in the back.]
He Guang smiled and said, "You are all so thoughtful, I like you very much. Although we have never met, or you have only met me, I feel very lucky to know you."
[I am most afraid that the host of the plane will suddenly become sentimental]
[Anchor, although we are quite touched by what you said, we still feel something is a little strange]
[The scenery must be so beautiful that the host suddenly felt sad]
"I mean it." He Guang tugged at his open coat. He had fallen behind unknowingly because he was chatting with the audience.
"I have seen a lot of evil, such as people's malice towards each other. You and I don't know each other, but you have always been concerned about my safety, and you have tried to help me in your own way, considering the feelings of those who are like me. I want to thank you not only for this one thing.
Because your position is different from ours, you and the system are very nice to me.
Anyway, thank you for your kindness.”
[Anchor, I feel embarrassed when you suddenly say this]
[Shame on us, we are not that good]
[Hmm…thank you for your kindness, the host is very warm]
[Although I am very touched, we are facing a powerful enemy. Please don’t say such flag-raising words. Please praise us as much as you can after the matter is over.]
“I feel like there are some things I have thought of that I should say out loud, just in case… Haha, I originally wanted to comfort you, but now you seem to be even more nervous.
Don't worry, everything will end smoothly."
Kazuhiko said as he quickly caught up with the other two boys.
The purchasing process is definitely a boring torture for people who don’t like shopping.
The three of them worked until the evening, and finally gathered together all the things on the list, and found a nearby restaurant to have dinner.
While eating, He Guang suddenly had a wonderful idea, “Student Shen, why don’t you not go back to the village tonight.
Shanzha said that the formation in the village can still suppress those things, so it is safer for you to stay in the city."
And without these two people around, she can act without any scruples.
What's more, these two people are too shrewd. Even a tough girl like her can feel the pressure of being exposed.
"We?" You Yi said with a smile.
Shen Mengze put down the cup in his hand and turned his head to look at her, "What about you?"
These two people are really good at grasping the key points. The system secretly thinks that it has a hunch that its host's happy idea will not be realized.
He Guang said as a matter of course, "I won't be affected by hallucinations, and Hawthorn also needs help, I have to go back."
You Yi laughed, "He Guang!"
His tone was still lazy and casual, but He Guang could hear a hint of danger in it. "I find you to be a very interesting person, and a little overprotective. I noticed last time at the villa that you were guarding the door the whole time. Did you want to run away as soon as you found something wrong, or rush in to fight?"
"At that time I always thought it was the former, but now it seems I was wrong."
He Guang felt an invisible sense of oppression, and she shrank her neck. "I'm just making a reasonable suggestion. If you are not affected by the hallucination, I will also..."
I can't let you go either, none of you can fight.
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to say, "It's okay if you don't agree. Why are you being so fierce?"
Chen Mengze raised his head, "Not affected by hallucinations, what happened by the river that day? And why did you run out alone last night?"
He Guang felt a chill in his heart, "It's over, System-kun, I let it slip."
The system was also very worried. "My dear friend, don't panic. Hold on."
It knew that it would encounter such an emergency situation, and it should not have gone out with its host in the first place.
He Guang smiled dryly, "System-kun, help me think of a reason."
Chen Mengze didn't wait for her to make up an excuse and stated his own conclusion, "Because you are not affected by hallucinations, you plan to do everything alone. Last night, did you deliberately go out alone to find the hidden master?"
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, slightly blackened sachet. "This is yours, right?"
He Guang said guiltily, "Student Shen, listen to me, actually..."
"He Guang, you are indeed stronger than us in this regard, and you adapt faster than us. She should also be protective of you. This thing was given to you by her, right?" Shen Mengze stared at her.
She... He Guang was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that Chen Mengze was referring to the ghost messenger in disguise.
"I was so scared, I thought classmate Shen had discovered me..."
He Guang nodded immediately and said cheerfully, "Yes! It's okay as long as that person is here."
You Yi heard that the two of them were still playing dumb, and couldn't help asking, "Who is she? Even at this point, you two are still hiding something from me."
“I’m sorry, if we have a chance to meet her in the future, if she doesn’t mind, we can tell you. Her identity is too special.”
Chen Mengze smiled apologetically and turned to He Guang, "But she is not our unilateral guardian. I hope you won't take risks alone next time."
He Guang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this hurdle was passed, and nodded quickly.
Alas, that's the bad thing about being friends with smart people: it's hard to hide anything from them.
Seeing her look like she was very well-behaved and weak, Shen Mengze patted her arm gently and said, "Let's eat. After we finish eating, let's go back together."
He Guang nodded and sadly ate three big bowls of rice amid the mockery of the barrage of comments.
