Chapter 30 Memory suddenly rushed into his arms
"Of course not..." Xu Xingxing's face flushed instantly and she quickly moved to the side.
She covered her cheeks to try to cool down, pretending to be calm as she walked forward: "Hurry up, we can't waste time."
He walked past the bloodstains and entered the Jade House before Xiao Hei.
There was no light in the room, it was pitch black. For some reason, the air around was extremely cold, as if one had entered an ice cellar.
Fortunately, she could now use Xiao Hei's magic, so she condensed a ball of fire in her palm and looked to the side.
All I could see was a black fog, and I couldn't see anything.
This jade house really has something special.
Thinking of the bloody hand just now, he felt a little timid, so he turned around to see if Xiao Hei had caught up, but found that all he could see was black fog again, and nothing else.
Xu Xingxing felt a chill in his heart and his whole body went cold in an instant.
Where is the door?
She didn't even take a few steps?
Damn, this jade house is really something!
She rubbed the goosebumps on her body, took a deep breath to give herself courage, and walked forward holding the fireball.
Suddenly, a strange sound rang in her ears, like someone whispering or crying softly. When she listened carefully, there was nothing.
Xu Xingxing suppressed the horror movie images that popped up in her mind and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, she heard hurried footsteps on the right, as if someone was running past her. She hurriedly followed the sound and took a few steps, but fell into darkness again and found nothing.
She doesn't want to look for it anymore.
Damn it, whoever wants to do this task can do it, whoever wants to get rid of this monster can get rid of it. She would rather face the evil spirits outside head-on than be scared to death by her own imagination here.
Suddenly remembering the skill of transmitting sound over a thousand miles, Xu Xingxing was just about to call Xiao Hei in his heart when he heard footsteps coming from behind him again. The sound was faint at first, but when he heard it clearly, he found that the footsteps were coming towards him at a steady pace.
She stood there frozen, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.
This is embarrassing. Xu Xingxing has two major fears in horror movies: being killed by someone turning around and getting in the face, and being killed by someone staring at someone through the crack of the door.
These two tricks always work for her. They always scare people. Even if people are mentally prepared, she can still howl so loudly that the whole dormitory building can hear it.
But now the footsteps were getting closer and closer to her, and louder and louder. Her legs were weak and she didn't dare to turn around.
"Xiao... Xiao Hei..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Hei on the other side responded quickly.
"There seems to be... a ghost behind me..."
The footsteps stopped right behind her, and the sound in her heart suddenly stopped. A cold hand was placed on her shoulder. She saw from the corner of her eye that the nails of that hand were blood red and an inch long!
Something behind her was approaching her, making her back feel damp and cold. When the damp and cold air was about to touch her skin, Xu Xingxing acted faster than she thought and swung the ball of fire in her hand backwards.
The scene in front of her suddenly changed as she turned around. The black fog around her disappeared in an instant, and the coldness dissipated. She watched herself suddenly transition into an unfamiliar room.
Because of the momentary shock and the excessive force she had just exerted, she couldn't stop her movements and took a step to the side. As her body tilted, her arm was immediately supported by a strong palm.
She looked at the familiar hand and black clothes, and raised her head excitedly, and saw Xiao Hei looking at her with his head down and lips curled, and asked innocently: "Where have you been?"
The sneer in his eyes was the most intimate signal. She was so excited that she almost shed tears. She threw away all rationality and threw herself into Xiao Hei's arms:
"Giegie! You finally found me!"
Xiao Hei's body stiffened instantly, and his hands rose up unconsciously. Looking at the little person squirming in his arms, his mind exploded.
He was extremely shy and at a loss, and it took him a while to find his voice. He pursed his lips tightly, and when he was about to put his hand on the little head to comfort her, his body suddenly flew into the air and was spun around in the woman's arms.
Xiao Hei: ...
Speechlessness suddenly became greater than panic.
The woman raised her head in his arms, revealing her face slightly flushed with excitement, and said in a coquettish voice:
"Giegie, please don't get lost again. I'm scared to death."
“…”
He decisively grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her off his body.
Xu Xingxing now has physical addiction. As soon as she separated from Xiao Hei, she immediately held Xiao Hei's hands tightly, which had just let go of her collar.
While he wasn't paying attention, she quickly clasped her fingers together, squeezed closer to him, and earnestly warned him, "From now on, we're conjoined twins. This is how we'll act!"
The palm of his hand was suddenly filled with another hand. The strange and intimate feeling made Xiao Hei's heart skip a beat, and then he subconsciously wanted to shake it off.
Xu Xingxing clenched her hands tightly in an attempt to stop him. When Xiao Hei was about to pull his hand out, she clasped it tightly with one hand and held his arm tightly with the other. While holding on to his arm with all her strength, she begged:
"Brother! Brother! Brother! You are my real brother! Please, I beg you! Just give it a try!"
Xiao Hei stopped moving instantly, his body and even his limbs completely stiff. The woman's softness was only separated from his arm by her clothes, and even when she twisted slightly, he could still feel the rise and fall of her arm.
At this moment, his brain completely shut down and went blank because of Xu Xingxing's series of actions and the soft touch. For the first time in his life, he experienced what it meant to be in a state of complete disarray.
But the woman looked genuinely sincere. She hugged her arms tightly and leaned her cheek against his. Her eyes were slightly moist with anxiety. If you looked closely, you could see how stiff and helpless he was at the moment. His heart trembled and he quickly looked away.
"Let go," he heard himself say.
The woman was startled and let go of her hand dejectedly. His arm was finally freed from the embrace that made him extremely anxious, but a trace of imperceptible sadness filled his heart.
When her fingers were about to open, he secretly held her hand tightly, but he didn't dare to look at her, and only added:
"Just hold... that's all."
Xu Xingxing immediately stood up, and even happily shook his two connected hands, giving him the sincere praise that all children like:
"Hei is the best!"
Only then did he look around. The interior of the house was very spacious, much larger than it looked from the outside. Although there were many candles lit, there were still many blind spots that could not be illuminated.
The temperature in the room was much warmer than the black fog space she was in just now. She hadn't taken many steps, so why was there such a big change?
She asked Xiao Hei, "Is this how you were when you came in just now?"
Xiao Hei was still feeling a little uncomfortable because of his clasped hands. Seeing that she looked normal, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed. But after thinking about it, he didn't quite understand. He could only suppress his emotions a little and replied to her:
"I lit this candle."
"That means you came to this room when you entered Yumen," Xu Xingxing frowned and said, "The place I was just now was definitely not here."
"I know."
"You know again?" She looked up in surprise.
"For some reason, I feel very familiar with this place." He paused, frowned, and said, "I even feel disgusted."
Hmm? Xu Xingxing finally sensed something was amiss. Ever since entering the Zhou residence, he'd known so much, yet couldn't recall why.
Is it related to his lost memory?
She remembered a dream she had about Xiao Hei's past, but the dream only gave a general account of his experiences, without showing the surrounding scenes of what happened in detail.
If it was really as she guessed, and what he knew was related to his memories, then the Jade House should not be a good place for Xiao Hei.
She thought of the poor black dog in her dream, and a feeling of bitterness welled up in her heart.
When he first said he wanted to find his memory, she readily agreed, but she didn't take it too seriously. After all, everyone has the right to know his past, whether good or bad, sad or happy, it is his personal choice.
Now that her relationship with Xiao Hei is getting closer, she suddenly wonders if losing his memory is a good thing for him?
But given his personality, he would definitely not give up the search, and she would not obstruct his choice just for the so-called "good of you".
But she could no longer just sit there and watch, so she pursed her lips and thought for a while, then pulled Xiao Hei's hand.
Xiao Hei looked over with confusion, the golden bell swayed gently around his neck, and his eyes and eyebrows were very beautiful.
She raised her head and looked at him seriously, saying, "If you want to recall your memories, I will accompany you to find them. But you must remember that no matter what you remember, you are no longer the same person as before. No matter what you have experienced, it is all in the past. You have me now, and I will always treat you well and protect you forever."
Xiao Hei's eyes were wide open, and there was another strange look in his surprised eyes. It was the first time Xu Xingxing saw him so defenseless, and she thought it was so cute. Her fingers were itchy, and after a moment of hesitation, she raised them and pinched his face. Then she moved her fingers down to his chest and gently tapped his heart.
"Don't forget, we both know how to transmit voices over thousands of miles, and we can also communicate with each other through magic. It's no exaggeration to say we're family. From now on, as long as I'm happy, I'll share your happiness, so don't worry about the past. We should put the past behind us and work together to create a better future!"
Xu Xingxing became more and more excited as he spoke, and by the end it was like a speech. He looked determined, as if he would lead Xiao Hei out of poverty and into prosperity this year.
Xiao Hei looked at the determination in her eyes, and the warmth in his heart grew stronger and stronger until it spread throughout his body.
But I had a vague guess in my heart that she probably knew something.
After all, they had that damn beast contract before, and after all, he could detect that she had hidden her Divine Transformation Realm from others.
He seemed to be accustomed to her way of speaking. When he had only a slight doubt in his heart, he asked, "Do you know anything?"
"What is that?" Xu Xingxing pointed exaggeratedly to a place in the room.
Knowing that she was trying to change the subject, he didn't press the issue any further.
He looked in the direction of her finger and saw a man crawling on the ground, his face covered in blood and pus, and his facial features could no longer be seen.
Blood and pus oozed out of its body and dripped onto the ground. In its hand was a shriveled human calf, and behind it was a long trail of blood extending into the darkness, presumably from where it had crawled out.
The monster opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, which was half a meter long, towards them. It roared at them in a hoarse voice similar to Mrs. Luo's: "Blood, give me blood!"
"Luo Menglian?"
"Do you remember her name now?" Xiao Hei teased her, then said nonchalantly, "I noticed when I came in. She's afraid of the light. Now that she's exposed like this, her thirst for blood must be uncontrollable."
"So she has lost her mind now?"
"If she truly lost her mind, she wouldn't remember her daily bloodlust. But she remembers it clearly. It must be that her desires overwhelmed her rationality, and she couldn't control herself."
"You mean, she still knows that she is Luo Menglian?" Xu Xingxing said in disbelief.
The monster roared to the sky, and its fingers rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound. It looked ashamed and angry. Without waiting for Xiao Hei to answer, it was about to pounce, but was frozen as soon as it moved.
Xu Xingxing: ...
There is absolutely no opportunity to display one's abilities.
"You're using it better than I am now."
Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows. Jin Ling stroked the center of his collarbone. He was in high spirits, feeling very proud.
"Thank you."
Xu Xingxing saw through the dim candlelight that the maid's body was extremely withered in an inconspicuous corner. She was still puzzled:
"If she only drank blood, then where did all those bodies go? You and I saw them that day, but no one came out."
"Didn't you say you just encountered a ghost?" Xiao Hei tilted his head slightly, his black hair swaying gently behind his head.
"Do you want to go look for it again?"
