Chapter 284 It Agreed
Zhong Wan lowered her eyes to look at the message left by Lin Yu on the counter, then glanced at the wedding dress stained with blood and dirt, and finally her gaze fell on the phantom figure entangled with black thorns.
Zhong Wan stared at the illusory figure and pondered, "Su Mu, Lin Wei is right here. I need to see her memories to understand the whole truth."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Su Mu, her gaze calm: "Would you like to watch it with me? I might... feel unwell afterwards."
Zhong Wan spoke softly, but Su Mu's expression hardened upon hearing it. Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end, when she met Zhong Wan's calm gaze, she instantly stood up straight and replied firmly, "Okay, Comrade Zhong Wan, let's begin."
Zhong Wan nodded upon hearing this, then looked at the illusory figure standing beside Su Mu, slowly raised her hand towards her, and said in a voice with a soothing power: "Lin Wei, are you willing to share your memories with us?"
"Let us see the truth and speak for you."
The moment Zhong Wan finished speaking, she saw Lin Wei's thorny phantom tremble violently. The black thorns seemed to sense her emotions and began to writhe violently.
Lin Wei's eyes remained vacant, but Zhong Wan keenly sensed that she... seemed to be looking at her.
As expected, Lin Wei remained silent for a long time before finally looking at Zhong Wan and slowly nodding her head.
Her movements were very small and subtle; if Zhong Wan hadn't been watching her intently, she probably wouldn't have noticed.
Moreover, the moment Lin Wei nodded, the black vines on her body stopped instantly.
Then a long, black vine slowly emerged from behind her, from her shoulder, carrying a thick black aura as it rapidly stretched towards Zhong Wan.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Wan's expression hardened, and she instantly became alert.
She didn't know if the vine was good or bad, but... she didn't seem to sense any malice.
Meow~ Mommy, yes!
Zhong Suisui stepped over to Zhong Wan's side, tilted her head slightly, and gently tapped the back of her hand. [It just wanted to tell you its story.]
Zhong Suisui's words were somewhat vague, but Zhong Wan understood instantly, and her expression relaxed considerably.
Su Mu looked puzzled. Her gaze fell on Zhong Wan's hands, then on Zhong Suisui, trying to control the urge to turn away.
All signs indicated that... the ghost was right beside her.
But Su Mu couldn't see anything.
But to this day, Zhong Wan has not taken the initiative to draw her.
Su Mu couldn't understand Zhong Wan's meaning, but she knew for sure that Zhong Wan wouldn't harm her. However, she truly couldn't understand how Zhong Wan could see... that ghost's memories.
Should we invite her to go with us?
Can she really do it?
Su Mu lowered his eyes, concealing the deep thoughts within them, and quietly looked at Zhong Wan, waiting for her response.
Zhong Wan noticed Su Mu's gaze out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't look back. Instead, she quietly stretched out her hand, waiting for... Su Mu's reaction.
Until... Lin Wei... or rather, that vine, sensed that Zhong Wanzhen meant no harm, the vine moved.
Zhong Wan looked expectantly at the vine, watching the thick black aura emanating from it, and watching it slowly and tentatively approach her little by little.
Su Mu couldn't see the specifics, but he keenly sensed that a faint black mist seemed to be hovering and hesitating above Zhong Wan's palm.
She pursed her lips, looked at the black aura, and then at Zhong Wan.
In the end, I couldn't resist turning my head slightly to look over.
Just one glance, in the blink of an eye.
The thorny vine, its body wreathed in black energy, instantly became alert.
It swiftly retreated behind Lin Wei, peeking its little head cautiously onto her shoulder, glancing warily at Zhong Wan and then at Su Mu.
Seeing this, Zhong Wan quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid. You just promised to let us see your memories, right?"
Zhong Wan's expression was gentle, and her voice focused on us.
As she spoke, she observed Lin Wei's expression, but to her surprise, it remained blank.
On the contrary, it was as if the vine possessed a higher level of intelligence.
Upon hearing Zhong Wan's words, it hesitated and slowly extended its body, staring at the two of them with a lingering gaze.
Zhong Wan was overjoyed to see this; thankfully, it seemed to actually understand.
Zhong Wan then reached out her hand to Su Mu and quickly asked, "Did you bring your work ID?"
Su Mu was instantly filled with questions.
She noticed Zhong Wan's slightly furrowed brows and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Although Su Mu was puzzled, he obediently took out his work ID from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Wan.
Zhong Wan reached out, took the document, and opened it, presenting the front of the document to Lin Wei's phantom figure entangled in black thorny vines.
Looking at Lin Wei and then at the thick vine, he said solemnly, "Look, she is a government employee, representing justice, and she's here to help us."
“We want to know the truth and seek justice for you, so she must know your story.”
"And I..."
At this point, Zhong Wan paused, then looked at Lin Wei and explained softly, "Only I can see you, and only I can see your memories, so that Su Mu can also understand your past."
Lin Wei seemed to understand Zhong Wan's words. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the moment she looked up, the black vine behind her seemed to sense Lin Wei's abnormality. It affectionately nuzzled Lin Wei's face before looking at Zhong Wan again.
The vine slowly approached the document in Zhong Wan's hand, peering at the photo on it, then turned to look at Su Mu.
He looked at it again and again, and finally, looking at the national emblem on the document, he hesitated and swayed, his black clothes undulating with the movement.
Finally, it watched as Zhong Wan slowly nodded her head, and the bent, upturned vines instantly flattened.
Zhong Wan looked down at the vine, then at Lin Wei, whose expression remained unchanged, and finally turned to Su Mu, nodding slightly: "It agrees, give me your hand."
As she spoke, she returned the documents to Su Mu, then extended her hand and nodded slightly under Su Mu's puzzled yet curious gaze.
Although Su Mu was puzzled, he still reached out and handed it over.
The moment her hand touched Zhong Wan's, she instantly felt an unusually cold aura.
Su Mu was startled and instantly became alert.
Zhong Wan held Su Mu's hand, feeling the cold temperature emanating from the vine, and whispered to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the vine drooped down and landed on Zhong Wan's hand.
It passed right through Su Mu's hand and came to rest steadily in the hands of the two of them.
