Chapter 30: Dirty Thing Lei Yinyin said goodbye in a hurry. ...
Lei Yinyin said goodbye in a hurry.
Su Huaiwang saw her out and watched her riding her handsome motorcycle on the mountain road, attracting the attention of farmers at the foot of the mountain.
Turning around, the beautiful girl was leaning against the door frame of her house, with a pair of watery eyes looking at her softly.
Lin Jue was wearing a loose shirt today. When he leaned his body, the shirt tilted to the side, revealing his delicate collarbone and shoulder and neck lines.
"Why are you looking at me like that...?" Su Huaiwang scratched his face and asked cautiously.
Lin Jue shook his head. "No, I was just wondering, has this officer always been like this?"
"What?"
"In a rush."
Su Huaiwang looked back again. The motorcycle had disappeared into the mountains and forests, leaving no trace.
She said honestly, "I don't know. Like you, I met her for the second time today."
Lin Jue smiled, moved lazily, and walked towards her: "She looks a little strange."
"What?"
"He speaks in a very official manner, but he's not wearing a police uniform. This will affect his work."
"Maybe they have their own considerations."
"Too."
"So what's it?"
After the villa door was closed, Lin Jue, who was following behind her, suddenly spoke.
"Is it really because of the disappearances from a year ago? Did the incident back then only come to light now? Could it be something that happened recently?"
Su Huaiwang wanted to deny it, but when she turned around and saw Lin Jue's worried face, she couldn't say anything.
"...It's definitely because of the disappearances from a year ago, but you could also say it's because of something that happened recently."
"What do you mean?" Lin Jue moved closer to her, looking as if he was listening attentively.
"Do you remember the strange noises we heard when we were walking on the mountain road a few days ago?"
Su Huaiwang licked his lips, which were dry from nervousness, and nervously turned his head back and forth. Finally, he lowered his voice and approached Lin Jue:
"Honestly, I doubt it was...dirt."
"Dirty thing?" Lin Jue's face looked unhappy for some reason. Su Huaiwang thought that he was probably scared.
She nodded. "When we were talking about... that topic before, didn't I say I was a materialist? Now I don't seem to be able to stick to that idea anymore..."
"So what you're saying is that you think there's a ghost around you..."
Before Lin Jue could finish his words, Su Huaiwang covered his mouth with his hand.
Su Huaiwang was very anxious. He covered her with one hand and put the index finger of the other hand to his lips: "Don't say it casually!"
Lin Jue's exposed big eyes rolled around a few times, and she nodded slowly. Only then did Su Huaiwang let her go.
"A gentleman should not speak of strange and supernatural things. Once he does, he never knows what he might get into."
Lin Jue looked at her suspicious look, but he didn't find it funny. He just frowned slightly, looking a little helpless.
"That's not the case. Some...dirty people are indeed sensitive about their reputations, but generally speaking, people like this won't harm innocent people." She paused. "So I think it's more appropriate to say 'don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door.'"
Su Huaiwang glanced at her curiously: "You seem very familiar with these?"
Lin Jue's face remained calm: "I grew up in the countryside, and my family likes to tinker with these things, so I have to know a little bit about it."
Su Huaiwang lowered her head in thought, and Lin Jue took the opportunity to ask her:
"So what does this have to do with that officer and your disappearance a year ago?"
Su Huaiwang raised his head and said hesitantly:
"I suspect that the incident a year ago was not an ordinary disappearance."
The heart that had been dead for a long time suddenly began to beat violently, and an emotion called panic spread around the body.
"I'm very likely involved in a supernatural incident, and I suspect this 'Urban Rail Transit Bureau' is the national agency that handles supernatural incidents."
Su Huaiwang finally laid it all out. She nervously glanced at Lin Jue, afraid to see a look on his face that suggested he wanted to distance himself from these troubles.
But Lin Jue didn't.
Lin Jue just lowered his eyelashes, with the corners of his lips drooping naturally, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Su Huaiwang quickly explained: "Of course! These things have nothing to do with you! The officer just happened to run into you just now, so he just asked casually!"
Lin Jue suddenly realized, "Oh, I'm not wondering if this matter has anything to do with me. Your business is my business. I'm just thinking that a year has passed. Even if it was a supernatural event, it shouldn't have had much of an impact."
"This... who can say for sure?" Su Huaiwang said with a bitter face: "From what the police officer said just now, it seems that he hasn't passed yet."
"And," she paused, looking embarrassed to speak, "there are sequelae." She said this in a low voice, but Lin Jue still heard it clearly.
"Aftereffects?" Lin Jue frowned. She couldn't remember what she had done to Su Huaiwang that would leave a lasting impression. If she had done that, killing herself a hundred times wouldn't be enough.
"Amnesia." Su Huaiwang grabbed the fur on the sofa with his hands and tried to look as relaxed and casual as possible: "I...occasionally forget everything. I have no recollection of the month I was missing. My memory stopped abruptly where I entered the mountains, and when it started again, I was already lying in the hospital.
"I originally thought it was just the sequelae of that incident, but I didn't expect it to appear again recently." Su Huaiwang suddenly stopped talking, feeling a little regretful.
Why did she say this to Lin Jue? She hadn't said it to Tu Zhizhuo.
Suddenly talking about these heavy topics with someone younger than you will only add to the other person's burden.
Although Lin Jue said, "Your business is my business," it would be terrible if he really took it seriously.
Just when Su Huaiwang was thinking about how to change the subject, Lin Jue continued to ask:
"So you don't remember anything about the low blood sugar that day?"
Su Huaiwang hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently: "That day... nothing really happened?"
"Really." Lin Jue's firm answer made her feel a little more at ease.
The next second, his heart began to lift again: "But... when you fainted that day, we seemed to have accidentally walked into a relatively deep place, and the street lights happened to be broken, so it was very dark."
"What, what does this mean?" Su Huaiwang's voice began to tremble.
Lin Jue, however, remained calm and composed. "What I mean is, is there a possibility that amnesia is a self-defense mechanism when people face trauma, and when you faced darkness, your body triggered that self-defense mechanism, resulting in temporary amnesia?"
"Is that so?" Su Huaiwang thought about it carefully and found that it did seem to make sense.
"I don't know much about medicine, so I'm just talking casually." Lin Jue waved his hand and smiled.
Su Huaiwang sincerely admired Lin Jue's courage. After listening to the real supernatural events told by people around him, he was not afraid at all.
"But I know a little bit about supernatural theories, so I'm sure you haven't encountered any supernatural events recently."
“?!”
It turns out that it's not just about being brave, but about having knowledge in this area?
“So—” Lin Jue dragged out the words and moved closer to her: “Do you believe that ghosts exist in this world?”
Su Huaiwang looked at her stiffly, his smiling amber eyes seemed to carry a hint of temptation.
Su Huaiwang didn't know why she had this illusion. The person in front of her was clearly just a man five years younger than her.
"I don't believe it."
Lin Jue's eyes widened slightly.
"Um?"
Su Huaiwang took a deep breath and repeated his answer:
"I don't believe it, and I don't really want to believe it." She had a conflicted look on her face. "As long as it doesn't affect my life, whether it exists or not is none of my business."
Lin Jue looked at her quietly for a long while, then suddenly burst out laughing: "This is the first time I've seen you think this way."
She laughed very loudly, but for some reason, Su Huaiwang always felt that there was a sense of inexplicable depression in her laughter.
She was in a panic: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lin Jue stopped laughing, his eyelashes drooping. It was rare that his gaze did not stay directly on Su Huaiwang, but turned to somewhere else: "That's good, this kind of thinking will protect you."
"After all," she whispered, "that's indeed the case. So-called ghosts are nothing more than a group of creatures possessed by obsession. People like you who haven't done anything evil generally don't have anything to do with them."
Unless it is an unexpected disaster.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Lin Jue's tone when he said this, and Su Huaiwang felt a little uneasy.
"If that's the case, what if there really is a ghost? Will it..."
Before she could finish her words, Lin Jue looked at her strangely and waved his hand:
"No, your house is very clean. Didn't the officer tell you that?"
"What?" Su Huaiwang subconsciously felt that the word "clean" was not describing the sanitary conditions of her home.
"I'll give you that sachet, you can hang it here, right?" Lin Jue's brows relaxed.
Su Huaiwang nodded obediently, and the familiar smile returned to the girl's face, as if mixed with a little too much joy.
"The one that can help drive away... those dirty things." Lin Jue is now finding it easier and easier to say that his own kind are dirty things.
"It actually has such an effect?" Su Huaiwang turned his head to look at the place where the sachet was hanging.
"Well, family heirloom herbs and folk remedies might be more useful than what the police officer gave you?" Lin Jue raised his eyebrows proudly.
Seeing her like this, Su Huaiwang felt a little happy for some reason, and the gloom in his heart was swept away by the vitality that the girl rarely expressed so directly.
She scratched her head and finally smiled: "It seems that you really know a lot about these things."
"Not really, just a little bit."
"Can I ask you a question then?"
"What?"
"I just thought about it for a long time. I don't think I've done anything bad, so why was I harassed a year ago?"
After Lin Jue said this, Su Huaiwang has been thinking about this problem.
She is just an ordinary person who has never done anything evil. She can even be considered a good person in the universal sense. She will even give up her seat on the subway to a tired office worker.
No matter how you think about it, it's not her turn to be involved in this kind of supernatural event.
The smile on Lin Jue's lips disappeared. She was slightly stunned, and her beautiful eyes with floating light and shadow stared at Su Huaiwang.
"Do you really want to know why?"
Seeing her like this, Su Huaiwang wanted to say against his will that he didn't want to, but in the end, for some reason, he honestly changed his mind and said he did.
Lin Jue hooked his finger at her.
Su Huaiwang bent down and leaned close to her.
The girl leaned close to her ear and whispered to her intimately:
"Maybe it's because you're so good that those dirty guys covet you."
Su Huaiwang's pupils dilated, and the cold fingers pressed against her carotid artery, bringing a strange sense of stimulation.
Lin Jue raised his chin and stroked her neck with a lifting motion.
His lips were so close to her ears that Su Huaiwang could almost feel her subtle sigh:
“…That might be the case.”
Su Huaiwang got goosebumps and couldn't help but tremble.
