Chapter 58
Zong Ning fell into a coma.
His breathing was normal, but he couldn't be woken up.
Su Xuan contacted the Monster Bureau in City B, and they arrived 20 minutes later. By then, Su Xuan had already discussed this with Director Xie.
Director Xie and his assistant arrived late and were locked outside the barrier. Seeing that the set where all the staff should have been was empty, they were also blocked by an invisible wall and couldn't get in. The assistant was terrified and thought he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
It was not until Su Xuan came out of the barrier that he solemnly explained to them what had happened.
Director Xie's assistant was stunned by what he heard, but Director Xie accepted it well.
When seeing Zong Ning and the tiptoe with his own eyes, Director Xie even showed a look of amazement and fascination in his eyes.
Su Xuan said cautiously, "Uh, when the Monster Bureau arrives, they should process the memories of those people inside. At that time, we may need your cooperation..."
Director Xie asked sharply, "What about me?"
"You are the person in charge of this crew. The staff of the Monster Bureau should handle it specially."
Su Xuan looked at Director Xie's face, not knowing whether he wanted to forget or not.
Generally speaking, the Monster Bureau can only properly deal with the aftermath with the cooperation of the person in charge, so in each incident, the way the person in charge handles his memory can be based on the person in charge's own wishes as appropriate.
Director Xie was satisfied when he heard this: "Okay, then I don't need to erase my memory. Why would I forget such an interesting thing?"
As expected of a famous director, everyone else was terrified, but he actually found it amusing...
Su Xuan sighed secretly, rubbed his hands again, and asked quietly: "Zong Ning encountered some problems. It may take two days for him to wake up. What do you think..."
It's so hard to get a chance to star in Director Xie's movie. If it's ruined because of this incident, Zong Ning will be fine, but Su Xuan will vomit blood!
He looked at Director Xie eagerly.
Director Xie once again revealed a fascinated look at the unconscious Zong Ning not far away. "It's okay. The crew has to stop working for a day anyway. We can just come back after he wakes up. By the way, can you show me how he transforms into his full form? Hiss, phoenix, I didn't expect phoenixes to really exist in reality... I think I have an idea. If everything goes well later, maybe I can let Zong Ning be the male lead in my movie. This way, I can save on special effects..."
Director Xie was still lost in the plot he was imagining in his mind.
Su Xuan was shocked. This... this was a development he had never imagined?!
When he finally reacted, Su Xuan fell into ecstasy!
Wonderful, wonderful, Director Xie is such a wonderful person!
If he could get Zong Ning to be the leading actor in his movie, not only would he let him transform into his full form, he would even let him perform for him for seven days and seven nights!!
After all the staff from the Monster Bureau of City B arrived, they cordoned off the street and took Qi Zong, Lin Jiajia, Zong Ning, Su Xuan and others into the car and headed to the Monster Bureau of City B.
*
Ye Yun also got into the car.
Originally, the staff of the Monster Bureau wanted to keep him at the scene and hand him over to their colleagues for memory processing, as they thought he was also an "unrelated person."
But not to mention that Ye Yun himself didn't want to leave Zong Ning at all, and was full of panic and worry. Even Su Xuan came forward and said that he "might be related to what happened to Zong Ning." The Monster Bureau employee hesitated for a moment and let Ye Yun get in the car.
But once they were on the road, Ye Yun fell into a daze again.
He stared blankly at the sleeping Zong Ning, not knowing why he fell asleep and when he would wake up.
He held Zong Ning's hand tightly, and after a long while, he asked softly, "Mr. Su...you said I might be related to what happened to Zong Ning. What's going on?"
Su Xuan and Gu Shuo were sitting in the front row.
As soon as he got in the car, Su Xuan calmed down and the two of them were silent for a long time.
Hearing this, Su Xuan moved his lips, a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should say it.
But Ye Yun himself is not stupid.
He asked softly, "Zong Ning said he wanted to confirm whether I was his lover... Is this related to this?"
He is very sharp.
Su Xuan was silent for a moment, sighed, and began to tell the story.
For example, Zong Ning is a phoenix of his generation, born more than a thousand years ago.
For example, for some unknown reason, he lost his memory of one night that year.
For example, the spell on his neck before and the one on his chest now were both spells cast by a sorcerer. But because Zong Ning passed out before he could finish his words, they didn't know why the sorcerer did this.
For example, they currently don’t know how to wake up Zong Ning.
Su Xuan said, "The first time Zong Ning saw you... he had a strong intuition that you might be related to the memory he lost that night."
Thinking of something, Su Xuan quickly added, "But Zong Ning didn't choose to be with you just because he 'felt' that you were his lover in his previous life. You can rest assured about this."
Su Xuan could see that Zong Ning really liked Ye Yun.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to get entangled with Ye Yun to this extent, no need to get angry at Lin Jiajia over a wire incident, and even no need to get angry at Ye Yun's silence and compromise.
He would not look at Ye Yun so gently and smile at her so many times.
Su Xuan had never seen Zong Ning show this side of him to anyone. Ye Yun was special to Zong Ning.
"Is that so..." Ye Yun murmured softly, holding Zong Ning's hand, and suddenly said, "But are his lover in his previous life and I the same person?"
Su Xuan was stunned.
"This is what's called reincarnation, right? After his lover from his previous life died, his soul reincarnated into me," Ye Yun murmured. "But I don't have any memory of my past life. So, am I really the one he loves? And does he... really like me?"
This question made Su Xuan a little at a loss for a moment.
Su Xuan only had a vague understanding of love and had no idea how to answer such a profound question.
Ye Yun didn't say anything else.
He still stayed silently by Zong Ning's side, but he no longer said a word.
The atmosphere became stagnant again.
Su Xuan lowered his head.
He could feel the man next to him looking at him, but he had so many questions in his mind...where should he start?
When they arrived at the Monster Bureau in City B, the staff took Qi Zong and Lin Jiajia away, while Zong Ning was moved to another room and placed on the bed.
The leader of the witchcraft team of the B City Monster Bureau hurried over and carefully examined the red spell on Zong Ning's chest. He said awkwardly, "Sorry, I don't understand this spell."
Su Xuan and the others were stunned.
The leader of a bureau’s sorcerer team couldn’t even understand this spell, so what were they supposed to do?
The team leader then continued, "This is an ancient spell. I don't have any reference materials on hand, but Yan Ning'an in City A has studied ancient spells and may have a solution."
Su Xuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Okay, I'll contact them now."
Fortunately, there is still someone to look forward to, not to mention that Yan Ningan is an acquaintance.
Su Xuan was about to take out his cell phone when a voice came from the side.
"Let me do it."
The man's voice was as calm and gentle as ever.
Su Xuan paused. Gu Shuo had already made a phone call and whispered a few words to him.
A minute later, he hung up the phone and said, "They are leaving now and will arrive in three hours."
"Okay, then let's wait for them to arrive," said the leader of the B City wizard team. "You guys just said that it was the tiptoe that caused the spell on Zong Ning to change, right? Then when the tiptoe wakes up, I'll go interrogate him and see if I can find any clues."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Su Xuan thanked.
The other party waved his hand, indicating that you're welcome, and turned to leave the room.
Suddenly, only Zong Ning, Ye Yun, Su Xuan and Gu Shuo were left in the room.
There was a moment of silence.
The atmosphere was so weird that Su Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.
Ye Yun tilted his head and said, "I will stay here to watch over him. If you are busy, you can go and do your own things. I will be here for you."
...Su Xuan didn't have much to do, after all, he was not an employee of the Monster Bureau.
It was indeed a bit awkward to just stand there like that, so he said in a depressed tone, "...Then I'll go get some water."
After saying this, he turned and left the room.
…
In the evening, the clouds in the sky began to gradually take on gorgeous colors.
After Su Xuan left the monster bureau, he quietly walked across the street and entered a convenience store.
Behind him was the sound of steady footsteps.
Su Xuan casually bought a few bottles of water and some food, then turned around and walked out without saying a word. When he passed an alley, his wrist was grabbed.
"Xuan, can we talk?" the man finally spoke.
Su Xuan paused.
He was not the kind of person who liked to lose his temper or get upset, especially with Gu Shuo.
That's how it should be.
But at this moment, a feeling of depression and grievance was surging in his chest again, and he couldn't find a way to release it.
"Ah Xuan, I'm sorry," Gu Shuo said softly, "Give me a chance to explain, okay?"
There was a hint of apology in that gentle voice.
Su Xuan pursed his lips, turned around abruptly, and walked into the alley with his head lowered.
Gu Shuo paused and followed.
Once they arrived in the alley, the two seemed to be isolated from the outside world.
Su Xuan suddenly remembered that time when he chased the beastly son and the son's uncle out of Old Li's house, and finally caught up with them in such an alley.
At that time, Gu Shuo was at the entrance of the alley.
He blocked the two men's way out, and the acid and the released "black energy" disappeared without a trace.
The uncle firmly believed that the black energy was dispersed by Gu Shuo. Gu Shuo possessed spiritual power, but he "did not help them"...
Su Xuan didn't believe it at that time.
Not only because he had never thought that Gu Shuo would conceal his identity and approach him, but also because that night, he asked...
"That time tonight...didn't you have anything else you wanted to ask?"
He asked this at the time, and Gu Shuo looked at him for a while, then smiled and asked him back: "For example?"
Su Xuan's question was a test. At that moment, he even thought that if Gu Shuo was really hiding something, as long as he was willing to tell, then they could continue to be friends honestly. After all, who doesn't have some secrets?
...Of course, it's normal even if you really don't want to say it, after all, we are just ordinary friends.
But, they were dating.
They were clearly already dating, but Gu Shuo still hid it from him and even created a "Little Gu"...
Why is this happening?
Why did he approach him in the first place?
Do you date him because you really like him?
Or is there some other reason...
Su Xuan clenched the plastic bag in his hand, his head was in a mess, and his heart was beating fast, but it couldn't reach the bottom.
“…Ah Xuan…”
“…Ah Xuan!”
Su Xuan's face was lifted up.
His thoughts suddenly returned and his pupils trembled slightly.
Gu Shuo seemed to see what his mind was wandering, frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Ah Xuan, I did hide a lot from you. I moved to that apartment because of you-"
Su Xuan's whole body was stiff and his head was buzzing.
His heart was beating so fast that even the voice coming out of his throat didn't sound like his own: "...What is your purpose..."
After asking this question, Gu Shuo fell silent.
And Su Xuan's heart seemed to be pinched by a hand, tightening rapidly -
Suddenly, Gu Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid you would ask such a question... I was really wrong, wasn't I?"
Su Xuan was stunned.
This was an expression he had never seen on Gu Shuo's face before.
Gu Shuo looked at him with a complicated expression and said softly, "Ah Xuan, the first time Zong Ning saw Ye Yun, he had a very strange feeling in his heart. He believed that he was related to his lost memories, right?"
"The first time I saw you... that was the same."
"I am not from this era. Like you, I have lost all my memories of the past."
"From the first day I woke up, I've been searching for clues related to the past. Although I found some, it was far from enough for me to recover all my memories, until I met you," Gu Shuo gently stroked Su Xuan's face. "Ah Xuan, you asked me what my purpose was in approaching you."
Under Su Xuan's shocked gaze, Gu Shuo slowly said:
"At first, I thought I just wanted to use you to regain my memory. But then I realized that I approached you probably just because my instinct told me when we first met—"
"I want to get you back."
