reason
God, please, let me catch up this time!
Yi Ning leaped madly on the street lights, her life line becoming increasingly weaker. She didn't care whether she would be discovered by humans or not. She gathered her energy to make her body bigger and jump farther.
"Xiaowu!"
A fierce light flashed in the cat's eyes, and it instantly transformed into a human form. In one hand, it condensed a soul-binding rope and locked the ferocious man. With the other hand, it held Wu Siqi's waist and quickly retreated.
"Lai...Si...Yuan!"
The man tied up with the soul-binding rope screamed in pain, struggling with his arms to break free from the shackles, resentment constantly flowing out of him.
Once tied up by the soul-binding rope, no evil spirit can break free. Yi Ning ignored him. She turned around and frantically felt around on the ground to check if Wu Siqi was injured.
"Xiao Wu, you weren't hurt by him, were you? Is it hurt anywhere?" She spoke with concern, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Wu Siqi was so frightened that she was speechless. It was beyond comprehension. Were they filming a movie? Without a camera, how could special effects be so realistic these days?
She watched helplessly as the strange man was tied up tightly with a black chain.
And the cow cat that had just pounced on me was now...
Even after turning into Yi Ning, she still hugged herself and kept asking, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Am I dreaming?
"What are you?"
Her voice was hoarse, her facial muscles twitched nervously, and she took a step back.
Yi Ning was stunned.
She lowered her eyelashes, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then suddenly took a step closer, put a talisman on her body, pushed Wu Siqi back, and in an instant she was back home.
What is that? What happened? Wu Siqi almost screamed.
"I don't have time to explain to you." Yi Ning lowered his voice, speaking quickly and seriously, "Don't be afraid. We need to get rid of that thing first. Home is safe. Don't leave. I'm leaving."
She flipped her hand and, like a magic trick, put a black and white knot on Wu Siqi's left wrist.
"This thing is a talisman. It protects you. Don't take it off."
Before she finished her words, she had already jumped onto the windowsill. In the backlight, her figure flashed and turned into a cow cat that Wu Siqi was very familiar with. She suddenly jumped into the night and disappeared without a trace.
Wu Siqi stood there in a daze, touching the rope on his wrist, his mind a mess.
She stared out the window with her mouth open in the direction the cat had disappeared.
"What a joke on the universe!"
"Is this a dream? I'm crazy. I must have been working too much overtime recently, Wu Siqi! Wake up!"
On the other side, Yi Ning rushed to the place where the accident had just happened. She sensed that the soul-binding rope had been broken. When she returned to the original place, there was only a black chain lying alone under the lamp.
But it doesn't matter, she has already memorized the prisoner's appearance, and the resentment in him is the same as that of the resentful ghost.
She held a talisman between her fingers. Her immortal power was now blocked by Meng Meng, so she could only use Taoist magic to summon the Black and White Impermanence. Fortunately, she remembered everything Xiao Wu taught her.
The talisman moved automatically without wind and ignited without fire at her fingertips. The green light disappeared and the ghost gate opened. Xie Lingfan Yu, dressed in professional attire, floated out from inside.
"What? You want to call for reinforcements so soon? You're not capable of that." Fan Yu laughed at her.
Yi Ning cursed through gritted teeth, "The deadly ghost has set its sights on Xiao Wu! I tied him up with a soul-binding rope, but he broke free in no time. This thing has eaten so many children, it's become very strong!"
Fan Yu hit her head hard with the mourning stick in his hand. "You caught him, and you still let him escape? You are a genius! Where did he run to? You didn't even give him a soul-chasing nail, did you?"
Yi Ning pouted, looked around, took a few steps back, and even pretended to look at the scenery and whistled.
Fan Yu's forehead veins bulged. "Whenever you encounter Lai Siyuan, you lose your rationality. It makes me so angry. What should we do about Xiaobai?"
Xie Ling was enjoying the show when he suddenly became serious after being called out. He adjusted his high hat and put away his playful expression. "You still remember what that person looks like, right? Draw a picture of the criminal's facial features and send it to that police officer named Huang. With the power of big data these days, they can find a living person faster than we can."
"That's right!" Yi Ning took out a pen and paper from her sleeve and squatted on the green edge of the road to draw the man's face. Xie Ling and Fan Yu stood behind her and watched.
After looking at her for a while, Fan Yu laughed at her: "Are you painting a horse? Weren't you a top student who graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts thirty years ago? How come your painting is so abstract? I remember you didn't study abstract art."
Yi Ning held the brush, wishing the brush stick could burst her lungs. She exhaled heavily and thought, forget it, Xiao Wu was still waiting for her. She should finish the painting quickly and go back to see her.
Xiaowu must be scared.
"I'm done, you guys come and post it." Yi Ning stuffed the A4 paper into Fan Yu's hand and transformed back into a cat in a flash. The cat spoke in human language, "I'm going to see Xiao Wu. If you have any problems, call me. Don't show up in front of Xiao Wu casually. She's very scared now."
Spreading its paws, the cow cat jumped onto the second-floor awning and quickly ran into the community.
Fan Yu kept on cursing Yi Ning. Xie Ling took the paper, pulled out the latest model of Apple phone from his sleeve pocket, scanned the image, and sent it to Director Huang.
Xie Ling: Photos.pdf
Xie Ling: Prisoner, check.
Director Huang: Okay, wait.
Be brief and to the point.
After sending the message, she unconsciously swiped left and right on her phone, opened the red app she usually checked, swiped twice, and clicked on a small video without stopping. She didn't know when the volume was turned up to the maximum but the sound came from the phone, which scared her. Fan Yu also stopped his curse words and looked at her speechlessly.
Fan Yu: "Fragmented messages are harmful to people, no, they're harmful to ghosts. Can you please spend less time on your phone? You're almost addicted."
"You are so nagging, Mrs. Fan." Xie Yu put her cell phone back into her sleeve pocket, covered her ears and screamed as she ran back to Guimen. Fan Yu chased after her and continued to scold her.
The streets were quiet again, the street lights in the alley flickered and then lit up again, as if nothing had happened tonight.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but Wu Siqi was still standing there in a daze, his face pale, unwilling to believe what had just happened.
She pinched her thigh and it hurt so much that she realized she wasn't dreaming.
Now she was thinking about whether she should find a spinning top and try to spin it to see if it would stop.
There was a knock on the security door, "dong dong dong", very muffled, which scared her so much that she trembled and got goose bumps all over her body. She turned to the entrance mechanically.
Wu Siqi almost pretended that nothing happened when he heard the knock on the door, but then he heard the person outside the door say, "Xiao Wu, if you want to pretend that nothing happened tonight, I will leave. If you want to know the truth, open the door for me. I will wait for you for five minutes. If you don't open the door, I will leave immediately."
The other party gave Wu Siqi enough ways to retreat. The silly face appeared in her mind. Her anxious heartbeat calmed down a lot, and she walked to the door.
She opened the peephole and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing outside the door. She put her hand on the doorknob, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally opened the door.
The incandescent light shone down, and Yi Ning stood there, his almond-shaped eyes curved, with a sunny smile, "Xiao Wu, as expected, you still won't choose to run away."
Wu Siqi's voice was hoarse: "What on earth is going on?"
Yi Ning pursed his lips, lowered his brows and pondered for a moment, "Are we going to talk here? Xiaowu, can you let me in first?"
Making way for her, Yi Ning opened the shoe cabinet without hesitation and skillfully put on the slippers that Wu Siqi had prepared for her last time.
The two entered the house, and Yi Ning sat cross-legged on the cat cushion that Xiao Wu had specially bought for him.
Wu Siqi frowned and wanted to tell her not to take her family too seriously, but then he remembered the scene of her turning back into the little black cat sheriff, so he shut up.
Yi Ning took out a lot of yellow talisman papers from her sleeves, pinched her handprints, and the talisman papers scattered and floated in the air. When she waved her hand, the talisman papers automatically flew to the wall of the house, forming a very strange pattern.
Wu Siqi was stunned. Her ability to accept things increased dramatically tonight. If you told her now that Ultraman was real and that the Trisolarans would attack the Earth tomorrow, she would definitely believe it.
"This is an isolation formation that can isolate the Heavenly Dao. What I tell you cannot be known to the Heavenly Dao." Yi Ning asked her to sit down and explained to her.
Wu Siqi sat cross-legged opposite her, waiting for her to continue. It was an absurd night, and she felt like she was watching a horror movie.
Sighing, Yi Ning counted on his fingers and said, "Let's talk about it one by one."
Wu Siqi nodded in agreement and raised his hand to ask her to explain quickly. Yi Ning said, "First, let's talk about the resentful ghost who just attacked you. You are in danger now. That resentful ghost has a grudge against you in your past life, and he has already set his sights on you."
"You're being a bit irrational." Wu Siqi interrupted her. "Grudge? What is this? Wasn't that a person just now? And what about a grudge from a previous life? What does the past life have to do with me? Explain it more clearly."
Yi Ning scratched his head. "It seems that it's hard to explain everything if I don't tell you everything. Okay, Xiaowu, you have to be mentally prepared. What I'm about to say may drastically change your worldview."
"My three views have changed drastically, please speak." Wu Siqi urged her.
"It's like this. Four hundred years ago, I was still a little monster who couldn't transform..."
Yi Ning told her the story of her previous life - Lai Siyuan - with great excitement.
She talked about how they met and how Lai Siyuan became a grassland arsonist. Wu Siqi listened with great interest. When he was happy, he took some melon seeds from the coffee table and cracked them. At the end, when he heard that Lai Siyuan became ruthless and joined the game himself, blowing up all the enemies, he even cried out.
Wu Siqi threw the melon seed shells into the trash can and clapped his hands. "I didn't expect that I was actually a heroic woman in my previous life. But it was a bit silly. Even if she blew those people to death, the dynasty would still have changed in the end. It wasn't worth it."
Yi Ning felt as if he had found a confidant. Tears welled up in his eyes as he grasped her hands and said, "Right? You also feel it's not worth it. The change of dynasties in the human world is the law of nature. Why must you sacrifice your life for this tragedy? Xiaowu, if only you had seen things more clearly in your previous life than in this one."
Pulling his hand out of hers, Wu Siqi continued, "But that was in our past life, and didn't you say she was a fortune teller? How come she doesn't know what the best solution is? Maybe that's her best solution."
"So does the bad things I did in my past life have anything to do with the fact that I was attacked by that intern today?"
Yi Ning raised his index finger and pointed at her. "This is a big deal, because the evil spirit that possessed him was killed by you...Master Xiahou!"
"Huh?" Wu Siqi leaned back, even more confused. "It wasn't me who set the fire. Even if it was, it was from my past life. He got the wrong person."
Yi Ning shook his head, muttering the laws of nature: "Cause and effect follow a cycle. Revenge is revenge, injustice is revenge. Taoist Xiahou died before his life was over because of you. After his death, he clung to the human world, unwilling to be reborn as an evil spirit. In the end, he fell into the realm of resentment. All of this is because of the fire you set."
Wu Siqi raised his eyebrows: "Then I will become the scapegoat."
I'm speechless. It's bad enough that I take the blame at work, but why do I have to take the blame for my past life?
"You can't say that." Yi Ning rolled his eyes a few times, thinking about how to continue, and finally said: "The dead are the greatest."
Yi Ning: "The current situation is that he has eaten too many children's souls. He is very powerful and very troublesome. It is very difficult for us to catch him."
"And the reason he's targeting you isn't just because you're his enemy, but because your soul is pure and precious, a great tonic for him. My top priority now is to protect you, then extract it from that murderer and bring it back to the underworld to fry."
Wu Siqi held his forehead and digested her words, which were both unbelievable and reasonable.
