Chapter 171 Breaking the Formation
"You're welcome. She is Nuannuan's friend, and it's my duty to help her." It was her kindness that forged a good bond. If Shan Yun had not been willing to take care of the family of her deceased friend, Ning Hanqi would not have noticed this matter in time.
If she had come one day later, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Shan Yun touched her sister's head. Maybe fools have good fortune. She used to not believe those weird things her grandfather said, but now she has to believe that it was Grandpa Shang who helped their family avoid many disasters. Such talented people are so rare that her grandfather has not been able to find someone to replace Grandpa Shang. But her younger sister can get to know one because of her deceased friend.
Young... but very capable.
Shan Yun observed Ning Hanqi carefully for the first time. She noticed it when she first arrived in the ward. This girl was very beautiful and calm beyond her age. Now observing her again... she felt that the word calm was too light to describe her. Beneath those eyes that seemed to contain gentle waves, there was actually a bottomless pool.
Just like the old foxes she had met when doing business.
The ghost bride was in a good mood and did not make things difficult for her. Xia Yingnuan repeatedly explained that Liu Qiyu had saved her life and there was nothing she could do to stop her from doing so. After a round of deception, the ghost bride patted her head to express her regret and left in the sedan chair.
After her wedding procession left, the street lights here came back on again, and the atmosphere was as quiet as an ordinary midnight. You could even see the rare starry sky.
I remember back then, only being able to see such a clean scene when I was at my grandmother's house in the countryside. Does that ghost bride have a natural sky-cleansing effect? It's amazing!
This trouble was caused by their boss, so let Liu Qiyu solve it herself. After the three of them looked at each other for a few seconds, they reached a tacit consensus.
By the time their boss finally arrived, the sun had already begun to set in the west. Li Mingxi was drowsy on the bar. When she heard the noise, she opened her eyelids and glanced at the other person, then stretched, stood up from her seat and disappeared in an instant. Then her feet were only a few fingers away from Liu Qiyu's face!
The second the boss walked in, Li Mingxi gave her a zombie kick.
"You beast, you beast! Your wife is just an ordinary human being. Do you feel guilty about all the trouble you've been making?" This bitch was already making trouble when I called her this morning. What time is it now?! Can an ordinary human being really stand up to this?
"What are you thinking about, little girl?" Liu Qiyu gently raised her hand and grabbed the other person's ankle, then threw her back to the bar.
"What little girl! I'm twice as old as you, you little brat!" Li Mingxi rolled up her sleeves and showed her fangs, but she only dared to pretend, after all, she really couldn't beat the other party.
"My girlfriend is quite clingy, and I just spent the whole morning working with her. Can you please not be so impure in your thoughts?" Liu Qiyu seemed to be in a good mood. "Okay, where is our rich little lady guest?"
"I thought you'd forgotten about it. Look, she's in the VIP room. I finally managed to coax her down. Where did you find this little ancestor? Don't let the wolf into the house and get yourself into trouble."
"Letting a wolf into the house?" Liu Qiyu raised her eyebrows. "Is she really extraordinary?"
"You knew she had a problem, but you didn't tell us?" Li Mingxi wanted to jump up and down, but when he thought of the "unpredictable" person in the VIP room, he had to lower his voice and said, "You want to trick us to death!"
"No, no, don't get excited. I was just guessing at first, but her family is indeed rich. Fortunes are sought through risk, right? I was even planning to make some money from her to buy an anniversary gift for my girlfriend~"
I knew it!
"Then I'll leave her to you. We won't get involved in this mess."
Li Mingxi's unwillingness to participate at all made Liu Qiyu serious. It seemed that the kid was indeed not simple.
After learning what happened from Li Mingxi and confirming the dangerousness of the other party's ability from the rat demon, she knocked on the door of the VIP room.
"It must be a love letter! I bet ten dollars!" There was a lot of noise inside.
"Hahaha, sorry Ahan! We all understand. Let's go, let Ahan have a good look alone!" A group of non-humans stood up and pretended to leave with laughter, then saw the boss who seemed to be smiling.
"Sister Liu!"
"Everyone, go out and have fun. I have something to talk to Miss Ning about."
"Okay, okay..." When the boss came, they didn't dare to make trouble anymore and all went out obediently.
"Hello." Xia Yingnuan had already prepared a speech in order to welcome this red-clothed ghost who was obviously not easy to fool, but who could have expected such an episode to happen in the middle?
The pink envelope that suddenly appeared in her hand was discovered by Liu Qiyu before she could put it away.
"Love letter?" Liu Qiyu, who had just overheard outside, covered her mouth and joked with a smile.
"This, this suddenly appeared in my hands! I don't know what happened!" Xia Yingnuan stuttered as she spoke, because she recognized that the words written on the envelope were from her senior's handwriting.
"It should have been burned for you by a living person. Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Of course I have to take a look. Xia Yingnuan tried to open the envelope, but failed several times because her hands were shaking so badly. Liu Qiyu had to work very hard to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
At least from this point of view, this little girl is not as scary and scheming as they say. I really don't know what those guys have imagined.
"Click." The envelope opened, Xia Yingnuan's hand trembled, and something fell out.
With just one glance, Xia Yingnuan quickly took the thing in her hand.
She knew exactly what it was. She put one of these bookmarks in every love letter to express her feelings.
What did the senior student mean by burning this for her? Was she rejecting the love letter by returning it to her?
Xia Yingnuan's eyes instantly turned red, and seeing the golden beads swirling in her eyes, Liu Qiyu even said "just right": "I'm still sending you love letters even after you died. I'm really infatuated~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yingnuan burst into tears. This was the reason why she had never dared to give her love letter to her senior sister, and why she had been hiding from her after her love letter was discovered by her. She never expected that her senior sister would actually burn it back to her. She, she would never be able to go back to her in the future...
Liu Qiyu was startled and leaned over to take a look. What was written on it that made her cry?
"The exquisite dice are filled with red beans, do you know how deep my love for you is..." Liu Qiyu read the words on the bookmark and sighed softly.
I always feel that this poor man had some resentment in his heart when he wrote this sentence.
"Huh?" Xia Yingnuan made a confused sound, feeling wronged. Wasn't that what she had written? She looked carefully and saw that the bookmark was indeed the one she had given. The front had originally been inscribed with "Wild Creeping Grass," but the back had only pictures and no words.
Xia Yingnuan turned it over and took a look. She had just held it upside down. The front side was indeed "Wild Creeping Grass", but there was an unexpected extra line of words on the back. The handwriting was 100% her senior's!
This is a very common love poem, undoubtedly responding to the words Xia Yingnuan wrote on the front. However, Xia Yingnuan, whose brain had stopped working, looked up and asked Liu Qiyu a very stupid question.
"What does this mean?"
——————
South Suburbs Cemetery.
A wisp of green smoke disappeared into the air as the last spark went out.
"Nuannuan, are you there?" Ning Hanqi muttered to himself in vain.
The only sound around was the rustling of leaves in the wind.
"Is it you who came back tonight? If you are back, can you let me see you? No matter what you become, I will support you."
"If it's not you, then I'm going to chase away the wandering ghost that came from nowhere, so if it's you, you must tell me."
"...No matter what you become, I won't be afraid." They say that if a person who died tragically carries resentment with him, his ghost will retain the appearance of his tragic death, which will be very scary, but Ning Hanqi doesn't care.
"Nuannuan, I don't want to wait too long..."
Not far away, Kou Zishu, who brought a bouquet of flowers for his father, saw Ning Hanqi staring blankly in front of Xia Yingnuan's grave.
This was a good opportunity to get close to her. Normally, it was difficult for him to have a legitimate reason to talk to Ning Chu's sister. Thinking of the conditions for exchanging with Xia Yingnuan, Kou Zishu had to bite the bullet and step forward.
She is a police officer and can usually interrogate criminals with ease, but the thought of her learning to be a caring elder sister and helping people resolve their knots and let go of hatred makes her scalp tingle. She hopes she doesn't mess it up.
After calming down, Xia Yingnuan felt a chill down her spine. She had to think too much about what the ghost bride had just said.
She even remembered the other person's identity. This ghost bride also appeared in the book, but she was a vicious cannon fodder No. N. She was married to the male protagonist in a ghost marriage during her lifetime, but she was not liked by the male protagonist after her death. Later, she learned that the male protagonist liked Kou Zishu, and her thousand-year resentment broke out. In the end, she was suppressed by the male protagonist and beaten to death.
She's a pitiful and hateful character. Anyway... Protect our Kou Xiaoshu and don't let this ghost bride find out! Oh, and protect yourself too!
Xia Yingnuan is just careless but not stupid. The mystery about her own death seems to have developed to the point where she can no longer control it. If the male protagonist is really behind it and she is involved in some strange thing, that would be the worst news.
How come she, who was only a cannon fodder in the book, suddenly has so many more scenes?! Xia Yingnuan rubbed her hair anxiously.
But no matter if she hides in a deep forest and never lets the male protagonist find her in this life, or has to fight him head-on in the end, at least she cannot implicate her senior sister who is an ordinary person.
Xia Yingnuan took out her treasured treasure from her pocket. In the light of the street lamp, she could vaguely see the paper and bookmark inside the envelope.
Xia Yingnuan took a deep breath, and her face, which seemed a little unreal under the light, was shrouded in a shadow that had never been there before, but she tried hard to get rid of the negative emotions. Everything was still uncertain, so don't get discouraged so quickly.
Perhaps when everything is settled and the male protagonist's troubles are resolved, she can find a way to appear in front of the senior sister and tell her that if she doesn't mind, she can accompany her for the rest of her life as a ghost, letting her appearance slowly age with her, and when the senior sister's life is over, they will reincarnate together.
This is like a dream ending.
Or maybe find a way to have Kou Xiaoshu strangle the male protagonist? Xia Yingnuan seriously considered the feasibility of this matter.
In order to prevent another accident, Xia Yingnuan rushed back home and lit the dream-inducing incense. The faint scent of peach blossoms filled the entire house. When she smelled the fragrance, Xia Yingnuan was dazed for a moment and almost fell asleep.
"Buzz buzz..." Just at this moment, a cell phone rang in the room. Xia Yingnuan was instantly awakened by the sudden ringing in the silent night.
Who called in the middle of the night? Xia Yingnuan was afraid that Ning Hanqi would be woken up by this, but fortunately, the presence of the dream-inducing incense made Ning Hanqi sleep soundly.
"Who is this..." The phone was still on the line. Xia Yingnuan was afraid that something urgent was going on, so she stretched her head to take a look. The name on the caller ID was "Tiger". This name, which had a bit of a nickname, made Xia Yingnuan's heart rise.
The phone kept ringing until it automatically hung up. Xia Yingnuan looked at Ning Hanqi who was sleeping peacefully beside her. He had been arranging his own funeral and had fallen ill again these days. He had lost a lot of weight. He finally fell into a deep sleep, but his sleeping face showed fatigue.
Xia Yingnuan tried to help her brush away a stray strand of hair from her forehead, but as expected, she couldn't reach it.
"Buzz." Another vibration, someone sent a message.
Xia Yingnuan swore that she really didn't mean to do it. The screen just lit up and she subconsciously looked over, and then she saw a series of words.
"Found it. The destination of Shengchu Group's private transaction is..."
Sheng Chu...is the human force supported by the male protagonist!
The thing she was most worried about happened!
Xia Yingnuan gritted her teeth and made a decision.
The dream-entering talisman was ignited by spiritual power and emitted a faint yellow light. The burnt talisman paper did not leave any residue, but turned into a green smoke that connected Ning Hanqi and Xia Yingnuan.
Xia Yingnuan's eyes went dark and her consciousness was dragged into another place.
——————
“Crash…”
Xia Yingnuan opened her eyes and saw the blue sky and white clouds, the sound of gurgling water and the scent of green grass.
This scene was familiar. Xia Yingnuan sat up and found herself lying next to a stream. Wasn't this the stream near her grandmother's house? She had fished there as a child. How could this scenery appear in her senior's dream?
Xia Yingnuan jumped to her feet and walked towards her grandmother's house, following her childhood memories. A half-grown girl ran towards her, shouting as she ran, "Yu Jing! Where are you?"
"Woo..." Xia Yingnuan heard a child crying. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person vaguely visible in the grass not far away.
Although she knew it was a dream, Xia Yingnuan couldn't help but point her in a direction when she saw the familiar face of the half-grown girl.
"Thank you, sister." Although the girl was anxious, she politely thanked Xia Yingnuan before running over.
"What a cute little girl! She looks just like Sister Hanshu... Ah! Sister Hanshu!" Xia Yingnuan exclaimed. Is this Ning Hanshu when she was a child?! She was so cute!
"Ning Hanqi is a big bad guy!" Xia Yingnuan was just about to go find Ning Hanqi when she heard the crying child hiding in the bushes accusing the person she was looking for in a baby voice.
Xia Yingnuan's straight path suddenly turned around and headed towards the bushes. Did Sister Hanshu just call that child "Yu Jing"? "Senior Lan"?!
Senior Lan squatting in the bushes and crying when she was a child... Xia Yingnuan only regretted that she didn't have something that could take pictures and bring them into the real world!
"What's so good about that little brat? She holds me in her arms every day and won't let go. She gets mean to me if I touch her!" Senior Sister Lan felt really aggrieved.
Little brat?
Xia Yingnuan looked around and saw a baby carriage not far away slowly moving towards her. No, it was not herself moving, but a figure pushing the baby carriage that was almost as tall as the carriage.
That's it!
Xia Yingnuan covered her mouth, which was about to let out a groundhog scream.
That cute and adorable little girl in a little skirt, with a stern face pretending to be a little adult, is my senior when I was little!!!
That would be fine, but he had heard a rumor that if a player died in the real world before leaving the game, his soul would still belong to the game. That would mean being condemned to eternal damnation in hell with no chance of reincarnation!
"Sorry, it's late." Ning Hanqi sighed softly. Zhang Xu didn't know if he had an illusion, but he actually saw a trace of compassion in the other's eyes... the same compassion as looking at a corpse.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Zhang Xu suddenly let out a scream. His arms were broken, so he couldn't hold his head. However, due to the unbearable pain, he broke free from the restraints and banged his head on the ground frantically.
Ning Hanqi stood up and took two steps back. From the perspective she could see, Nuannuan split the man's soul and then established connections with the center of the formation. This was not the quickest and most convenient way to break the formation, but it was definitely the most painful for the caster.
"What, what happened to him?" Shan Yun was frightened by the scream. She felt a little creepy when she heard it, especially when she thought of what Ning Hanqi had just said. Suddenly, she was a little afraid to look at the other person.
"Crack..."
Xia Yingnuan heard the sound of the eye of the formation breaking, and the negative energy that enveloped the building was about to dissipate. She increased the supply of ghost power for the last time, and with the simultaneous rupture of the six fish tanks, the illusion was lifted.
