Chapter 90

There were three students carrying schoolbags downstairs at the Spirit Recognition Office. Among them was a girl with a round figure and a dirty school uniform. She rubbed her eyes and cried sadly, while her companions were coaxing her.

It was at this time that Qiao Mu led Xu Taohong out of the car, and happened to see this group of students wandering on the street.

"Xiao Tao, don't cry... The boys who bullied you have been interviewed by the class teacher. If they continue to laugh at you and destroy your schoolbags and clothes, they will be punished! Parents, please!... Yao Ran won't beat them today Come on, give me a beating!" The girl with a sweet voice was wearing a white dress, and there was a tall man with a sullen face next to her, handing tissues to the crying girl.

When Qiao Mu saw the woman temporarily attached to the puppet paper and turned into a human form, she stopped and asked quietly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I saw the child crying sadly, and suddenly I remembered my son when he was a child. Tianwei also followed my parents since he was a child. I haven’t taken care of him much, and I don’t know whether it’s because of the good nutrition or because the child is introverted and doesn’t like to go out. Because of his size and personality, he is also bullied by other children of the same age. “An Ran’s puppetry skills are superb, enough for Lingya to be exposed to the sun. It's no different from ordinary people, except that the time to support the transformation is running out.

After the evil power cast by Ma Li failed, Xu Taohong recalled the whole process of escaping from the cloister bridge and being recalled to the hiding place of the person who cast the spell. Along the way, she told Qiao Mu a lot about the characteristics of that place. It was dark and damp, and it was as if she was standing in a cold river and unable to move.

But her vision at that time was almost obscured by black fog, and her five senses were suddenly lost. She could not accurately describe her location, but she must have been controlled by someone. Her memory including meeting Zhang Sheng and his group in the ghost cave was blurred. .

Qiao Mu followed Zhang Sheng's instructions not to let Xu Taohong sink into memories too much. If she was kept in the guilt of almost killing her son, maybe the power of the evil god would resurrect and lose control again.

"Your son Tianwei is already on his way here. He is a close classmate and friend of our boss. Fortunately, we can rescue you this time. You don't have to worry about being used by evil gods."

Xu Taohong wiped her tears and said, "...I I am really afraid that for my son, I, as a mother, can only bring a burden to him when I am alive. At that time, I was resentful and only thought about making money to get rid of the pain of a failed marriage. He has a better life... But in the end, I don't even know what Tianyang likes or needs."

The girl's crying face was engraved in her eyes, and she wanted to give her a hug, or pull her up from the ground. Nothing simple can be done. It was her companion who advised her: "Xiao Tao, you are stupid. They bully you just because they want you to cry. The sadder you cry, the more interesting they find it! Who said you wear school uniforms to school every day because you are fat? Don't you use the money you save? Did you give it to the old man who collects scraps? They don't know you at all..."

Xu Taohong suddenly saw the shadow of Zhang Jigang in the girl who spoke, that wild child who couldn't even pick out a decent piece of clothing in his wardrobe. They are all willing to stand up and speak out to protect their sons.

The harsh words she had said to the child on the phone, and the harsh comments made without understanding, were replayed in her mind over and over again.

She couldn't help but cover her face, and leaned towards Qiao Mu while trembling: "I can't believe that the people who finally pulled me out of the abyss were Ji Gang, who saved my son, and Cui Yu, my son's only friend. ..."

Qiao Mu knew that the woman had suffered a lot since she fell ill due to alcoholism. Lying in the hospital bed and suffering without being forgiven by her son was already a punishment for her.

But now, we can no longer stay in the prison of the past. Xu Taohong has been forced to stay in the world as an evil spirit by the power of the evil god for too long, and her spirit is extremely weak. If we don't find a way to send her to the underworld, I am afraid that her remaining soul will be lost. To disperse.

Qiao Mu pulled the woman down: "Xu Taohong, the clues you provided can help us continue to track that organization. Don't blame yourself anymore. I'm the same as you. I was also cursed by the evil god and became a tourist. I couldn't reincarnate or be seen by the world before. , living like a ghost, but haven’t I also met a kind person who is willing to accept my heart?”

“The kind person...is it Ji Gang? I haven’t seen Ji Gang and Cui Yu for many years. If I really want to go to the underworld, I will. ” I really want to apologize to them..."

Although the woman knew it was a delusion, she still sobbed and expressed her regrets. She had no education, and the lack of attention to women's status in the backward areas was still imprinted in her bones. It was a failure. Marriage is almost equivalent to the destruction of her life.

That's why she prevented her son from interacting with poor boys like Zhang Jigang. At that time, she felt that in terms of connections and relationships, she had to try her best to get in touch with children from rich families. Even if Zhang Jigang had a straightforward personality, it would only be the "loyalty" that children would value. ” will not help future development.

Qiao Mu smiled happily: "Don't worry, the soul transfer is not that fast. Besides, your situation is more complicated. You have time to chat with our boss before that."

Cui Yu caught a glimpse of Xu Taohong from the window sill upstairs and said to Zhang Sheng said: "The shrew you hated most before is here."

Zhang Sheng looked unnatural and rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about? Aunt Xu and my mother are about the same age. When my mother was willful, you If I haven’t seen her before, how could I really get angry with her? Besides, she cares about Men Tianwei first,”

she said. Cui Yu shrugged and smiled, closed the window, and looked at him with his back against the wall: "Have you thought of a way to transfer her soul?"

A soul that was separated from a sick and weak body at the time of death was left by Ma Li for decades. Being thrown into the cloister bridge as an evil spirit, the woman's memory was only the place where her son lived and worked. Her strong reluctance turned into thousands of white threads, tightly entangled with Men Tianwei as soon as he stepped in.

If written into a novel, such an existence would not even be counted as a villain who threatens others, but would only be counted as an NPC forgotten in the darkness under the bridge.

This was the first time for Zhang Sheng to transfer his soul to such an evil spirit.

But fortunately, he spent enough time to think about the solution to this matter, just like what happened to Qiao Mu. Even if he had to consume his internal energy in exchange for Qiao Mu's brief appearance, he felt it was better than not trying at all.

From the conclusion of the Corridor Bridge human skin wall case to the present, he has been thinking every day and night about what kind of ending would be most appropriate for Aunt Xu if he found her.

It is inappropriate to violate the laws of nature and bring the soul back to the broken body, but it cannot be removed directly with brute force. In this way, even if Mentianwei does not say it, he will feel regret and debt in his heart.

After much deliberation, he decided to try to let the mother and son meet, and asked An Ran to use the puppet as a carrier to let Xu Taohong's spirit body get used to and stabilize it first. One possibility is that the puppet body and the spirit body have a tacit understanding, so that they can Pass the soul smoothly.

"Being in tune with the puppet body? This is... unheard of."

Zhang Sheng was angry and replied: "Can't you just say that the chance of success is very small? It's really annoying... I just thought that we were in Li The Ah Chao we met in the village was also made into a puppet by a chieftain, so his soul transfer was not smooth."

Cui Yu rarely showed admiration in his eyes and put his hand on Zhang Sheng's shoulder: "When you put it like that, I think it's OK. The chance of success is 50-50. Zhang Sheng, you are really smart, including Qiao Mu, and you are the one who found a way to stay."

"Tch, I don't take it seriously when being praised for being smart by a top student. I just don't want to give up so easily. As you said, it's easy to kill a ghost and erase the traces of its existence. It may only take the blink of an eye. But Aunt Xu, Qiao Mu, and every ghost we have ever met, were all people who were once alive."

Cui Yu kissed his temple gently, smiling fondly: "You are getting to know ghosts more and more, and you really think about them. "

Zhang Sheng replied unfailingly: "You are becoming more and more like a human being."

Near evening, Men Tianwei finally turned from the highway into the city. He was anxious all the way, thinking that his mother's spirit was still supported by puppetry. Now, I can't remember all the complaints and estrangements in my heart in the past. I just want to see each other one more time.

"Ji Gang, Ji... Ouch! -"

Men Tianwei stepped on the door frame set up at the door to prevent the tide from coming back in too much haste, and his sole slipped and fell to the ground.

Xu Taohong heard her son's cry and rushed out like flying. Qiao Mu watched as the spirit body escaped, and the puppet body barely followed, drawing two arcs, one real and one virtual, in front of his eyes.

"Tianwei! What happened to you... did you fall? Does it hurt? Mom, look where it is injured..."

"Neck... oh my neck..."

The sprained leg was unbearable. It's his neck. Recently, the work process of the forensic department has been reformed. Men Tianwei has been sorting out files from the past five years for several days. The joy of promotion and salary increase cannot keep up with the increase in workload. When he woke up this morning, he realized that he had fallen asleep at his workstation. Accidentally got a stiff neck.

Zhang Sheng joked: "You have succeeded in losing weight, but your physical fitness is still not good. Such a short door frame can trip you up. Are you here to touch porcelain?"

Men Tianwei felt the real touch of his mother's fingers, and then He looked up and saw the wrinkles at the corners of the woman's eyes, and almost cried with excitement.

Holding back the emotions that were about to come out, he was helped by Xu Taohong and sat down on the sofa. He rubbed his neck and said, "Ji Gang, please stop laughing at me. It's really a race against time. Didn't you watch the news? There was another series of car accidents on the highway. I had to ask for leave in advance and set off early, otherwise I would still be stuck on the road."

Zhang Sheng's face froze, and he realized that Cui Yu had become cautious after hearing this, so he quickly asked: "Serial car accidents didn't happen often before. Ah, what do you mean?"

Men Tianwei said, "I am a forensic doctor. I know how the person died. During this time, there have been frequent car accidents on the national highway connecting Liao City to other cities. There are endless signs of death. If you were to see it with your own eyes, you would say it was evil!"

Cui Yu twisted his fingertips, which turned from red to white, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that he hasn't left yet."

Zhang Sheng was going crazy. Seeing so many people running away before, I thought Ma Li would be quiet for a while, but I didn't expect that he was planning a bigger game.

"Damn it! Mumu, go and notify Ren Zhinan, and join forces with the Crime Department to send more people over! And Yu Duo, tell him that the vacation is over, come back!"

Xu Taohong trembled in fright, and silently pulled her son's hand. He smiled dryly: "Well... Ji Gang's temper is still so hot, haha."
