Device

He tried to calm himself down, but his eyes were flushed, and there seemed to be stars in his eyes, shining with crystal light.

Every time he showed this expression, Jiang Yan felt distressed as if someone had gouged out his flesh.

Jiang Yan felt that he was going crazy. He had been looking for Ruan Xiqing for 18 years. After he found him, he didn't know what he really wanted. An intimate and unique relationship, he was worried that his friend's words would trap him this time, but he was also afraid that they would not even be friends in the end.

"I'm not very good at coaxing people, sorry."

Xi Ran smiled wryly.

"I like you too, I will think about it before I speak in the future."

"Can you stop panting when you speak." Xi Ran puffed up his cheeks and looked away, muttering, "What do you like for no reason, crazy."

His mood turned from cloudy to sunny, and his appetite improved instantly. He asked Jiang Yan many questions while eating.

Jiang Yan answered a few words ambiguously, and seeing him asking endlessly, he frowned and asked him back: "You still need to check your household registration when you make friends?"

Xi Ran was not angry, and said with a smile, "Why not, I also want to know more about you."

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If I tell you that I am not human, will you be afraid?"

Xi Ran cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, he chewed and asked, "Then what kind of beast are you?"

Xu Yaoqing ([-])

"I'm just joking, don't be angry." Xi Ran rubbed his nose and changed the topic, "By the way, do you have time on weekends? I'm going to watch a movie, do you want to go together?"

Jiang Yan asked in a daze, "You said watching a movie?" His expression was a little dazed, and his hands and feet couldn't help shaking slightly.

"Yeah, I mean watching movies. I used to go to the movie theater alone. I don't know why. I don't like going to the movie theater with others." Xi Ran rubbed the back of his neck and frowned in confusion, " But seeing you today, I suddenly want to watch a movie with you, are you free?"

Jiang Yan suddenly felt his body heat up, the blood flow in his body accelerated, his whole body felt inexplicably hot, he still remembered!He still remembers their agreement!His memory may be blank, but his body still remembers it!

An unprecedented bright smile appeared on Jiang Yan's face, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he subconsciously wanted to hold Xi Ran's hand again, fearing that Xi Ran would not like physical contact, he could bear his presumptuous move.

The sun outside the window was bright and bright, illuminating the entire restaurant, Xi Ran stretched his waist, lazily stood at the window and looked out, he squinted his eyes in satisfaction and took a deep breath: "The weather is really nice today."

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

Xi Ran added: "It's a pity that there is still a lot of work to do, otherwise we can go for a walk in the park together."

"Call me when you're free, I'm free anytime." Jiang Yan was in a good mood, as if she had returned to the time when Xi Ran was still a teacher, they always stayed together whenever they were free.He called the waiter to pay the bill, but his smile stopped abruptly when the waiter quoted the price.

"Hi sir, the total consumption is 1000 or [-] yuan." The waiter couldn't help yawning after finishing speaking, his eyes were almost closed together with fatigue.

Xi Ran took out the credit card and handed it to the waiter, "Swipe the card."

"OK, just a second."

Jiang Yan asked with a dark face: "Dining here is so expensive?"

Xi Ran nodded: "Yes, it's at this price, what's the matter?"

Jiang Yan suddenly wondered if he should sneak back to Penglai and dig up some old ginseng plants under Moqing's nose to sell them.

Xi Ran seemed to see his embarrassment, and quickly smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite with me, I'm glad you're willing to eat with me."

"No one usually eats with you?"

"Yes, but I want to eat with you. It's really strange. I don't know why. After I met you, I wanted you to accompany me in everything."

Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.

Xi Ran stared at him blankly for a while, then suddenly said: "Actually, my cooking is also delicious, I have a chance to cook it for you."

Just as Jiang Yan was about to agree, Gu Yao came out from nowhere, pulled open the chair and sat down beside the two of them, tsk-tsk said: "Jiang Yan, no wonder you don't want to leave Junhua, so you found him?"

"Jiang Yan? Ruan Yunshen, why did he call you Jiang Yan? Do you know each other? You still use a fake name when you go out?" Xi Ran asked in astonishment.

The one after another question made Jiang Yan overwhelmed, but Gu Yao answered him smoothly: "The name is just a code name, why is it different?"

Xi Ran asked again: "Then what do you mean you found me?"

Jiang Yan looked at Gu Yao coldly, communicated with him with his spiritual sense, and told him about Xi Ran's current situation.

Gu Yao looked at Xi Ran with a smile, and quickly said, "Find the other half of his life."

Jiang Yan was drinking water, but when he heard this, he spit out a mouthful of water.

Xi Ran smiled and waved his hands: "We are not the kind of relationship you think." He took off the cap he was wearing upside down in a good mood, and did not take it back after brushing his hair.

His eyes are very long, and when he squints and smiles, he looks like a crescent moon. Jiang Yan glanced at him and couldn't look away.

Gu Yao looked at Xi Ran in amazement. He and Ruan Xiqing at that time had only met each other twice, but the other party gave him a feeling of tranquility and alienation, as if with an inherent sense of estrangement.

Today's Xi Ran's facial features have not changed, and he is still beautiful, but he is a bit playful and lively. Even though he is dressed coolly, his personality is still soft and amiable. Gu Yao has some illusions, as if the person in front of him is not from back then. Ruan Xiqing just happened to have the same appearance.

He asked Jiang Yan with his spiritual sense: "Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"

"I'm not mistaken, he is Ruan Xiqing, if he wasn't for me, I would definitely feel it, and it's time for you to get out, don't always be haunted."

Gu Yao rolled his eyes, got up and greeted Xi Ran and was about to leave. At this time, the waiter came over with a POS machine, ready to settle the payment for Xi Ran.

He held the credit card motionless and looked at Xi Ran dully.

Xi Ran raised his lips and smiled: "Little handsome guy, don't stare at me anymore, just swipe your card, I'm leaving."

The waiter slowly opened his mouth, and suddenly rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

Jiang Yan saw a cloud of pink gas coming out of his mouth like smoke, floating all the way to the outside of the restaurant.

Gu Yao obviously saw it too, turned around and chased after him.

Xi Ran was stunned and said: "What happened just now, what happened to him?"

There was a commotion in the restaurant, Jiang Yan knelt down and touched his Tianling cover, and said in a deep voice: "He is dead, what you call exhaustion."

The manager of the restaurant squeezed out of the crowd. He didn't realize that the employee was dead, so he carried him to the back lounge together with others.

Xi Ran looked at Jiang Yan dumbly, Jiang Yan grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the chaotic restaurant without a sound.

Gu Yao turned back just in time, saw Jiang Yan leaving the restaurant, and asked, "Why are you leaving? Where is the corpse?"

"Inside, the police will be here later, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

Xi Ran said: "Actually, it has nothing to do with us, why not go back to the restaurant, the police will find us sooner or later."

Jiang Yan was silent for a while, then shook his head: "No."

"Why not?" Xi Ran asked.

Jiang Yan whispered, "I don't have an ID card."

Xi Ran: "..."

Gu Yao laughed out loud, he made one for Xiaotuer, but deliberately didn't give it to Jiang Yan, who knows that this guy has a very tough temper, he just pretended to be a gangster for 18 years, but he just refused to accept him soft.

Before Gu Yao stopped laughing, he heard Xi Ran comfort Jiang Yan and said, "It's okay, don't feel bad, it's a trivial matter, my dad has connections, I'll ask him to make you one."

Gu Yao wondered, "You gave him an ID card? Do you know he didn't come here illegally? Isn't he a murderer?"

Xi Ran frowned, looked at him coldly, and said impatiently: "Does this have anything to do with you?"

Seeing that his cold face was the same as before, Gu Yao thought to himself that it was undoubtedly Ruan Xiqing.

Xi Ran withdrew his eyes and said to Jiang Yan, "Let's go to my office and talk about it first."

The three of them went to the 68th floor together, and the lady at the front desk was no stranger to Jiang Yan's frequent appearances these days, she laughed and joked with Xi Ran, "Director, your printer is broken again? Do you want to get a new one?"

Xi Ran smiled: "The new ones will also be damaged. I'll ask if anyone wants afternoon tea later. I'll treat you."

"Thank you, director! Long live the director!" The front desk lady cheered, "I'll ask other people later, so I won't hinder you two now."

Xi Ran asked in confusion, "Two?"

"Yeah, you and Mr. Ruan." She had heard before that Director Xi didn't like women. Although she didn't know where this Ruan Yunshen came from, the two were a good match in appearance, and they were very eye-catching when they stood together. .

But obviously what Xi Ran wanted to ask was not this, he looked at Gu Yao, and then asked the girl: "How many people are here?"

"Three."

Xi Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You, Mr. Ruan and me."

Gu Yao showed a sly smile and asked Xi Ran: "Do you still want to apply for an ID card for him?"

Jiang Yan clasped Gu Yao's wrist and looked at him threateningly.

"All right, all right, I won't scare him anymore, just go in and talk."

Jiang Yan whispered to Xi Ran, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The three entered the office, Xi Ran pointed to Gu Yao and asked, "What is he?"

Gu Yao sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette and said, "Half human, half immortal."

Jiang Yan added: "It's what you humans call a magic stick."

Gu Yao glared at him: "Fart, can I be like them?"

Jiang Yan said: "What's the difference? The ancient family has been handed down to your generation, and there is only a breath of immortality left. If it weren't for the blessing of the ancestor's magic weapon, what qualifications do you have to stand here and talk to me?"

Gu Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget who was beaten to death by me back then."

Jiang Yan didn't want to argue with him. In his eyes, Gu Yao, like Jiang Shu, was just a child who hadn't grown up. It wasn't that he couldn't beat him, he just didn't want to hurt the innocent. The same is true when beasts attack. For him, every flower and grass has spirituality. No creature in the world should be implicated innocently. He has an immortal soul, so he would rather reshape his body by death than I am willing to use a spell with great lethality. It is a terrifying power that will wipe out all living things in a hundred miles around once it is sacrificed.

Jiang Yan was silent for too long, so long that he almost forgot that he was the Penglai God of War. The longer he lived in the human world, the more he looked like a real person.

There are joys, sorrows, sorrows, and obsessions.

Jiang Yan looked at Gu Yao, and said very seriously: "If you dare to scare him again, I will beat you until you are alive. You can just try." He knew that he had a bad temper and would get irritable easily , but even so, when facing Xi Ran, he had to try his best to endure, not wanting to make him unhappy, why would Gu Yao dare to scare him?

Gu Yao was speechless: "Damn it, if you go around in such a big circle, are you just trying to fight for him? You look back, he was scared stupid by you."

Xi Ran swallowed, and asked slowly, "What are you humans?"

Xu Yaoqing ([-])

"I'm not a human being. To be precise, I don't know what I am. I have been practicing in Penglai since I was conscious, and I have only recently arrived in the human world. There are countless creatures like me in the vast world. Every creature is different. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

As if to show Jiang Yan that he was not afraid, Xi Ran purposely went around the table, hesitantly grabbed Jiang Yan's cuff, and said slowly, "Don't think about it, I'm not afraid of you."

Jiang Yan's heart softened instantly, and he asked in a low voice, "Then will you still take me to the movies?"

"Yeah, I'll take you there as soon as I'm free."

Gu Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Watching a fucking movie! Can we talk about business first?"

Jiang Yan nodded: "Did you find anything after chasing him just now?"

"There is nothing. The evil spirit disappears as soon as it reaches the corridor. The soul will leave the body after death, but there is no ghost after the death of the service life just now. It is really strange."

Jiang Yan pondered: "The waiter is actually dead long ago. The evil spirit controls his body. Once the human body loses three souls and seven souls, it will soon be unable to sustain it. The evil spirit cannot last him for long. , his body will gradually appear in a state similar to excessive fatigue, and then his body will die."

Gu Yao was skeptical of Jiang Yan's words, "Before the evil spirit left his body, his behavioral logic was very normal. It was evil spirit, after all, it was not a demon itself, and without thinking, it was impossible for him to live like a normal person. And don't show your feet at all."

"I'm not sure about this. You are a half-immortal, so go and find out."

"Then I'll take my leave first." Gu Yao rolled his eyes, stood up and walked out.

Jiang Yan and Xi Ran stared at each other for a while, Xi Ran coughed in embarrassment, touched his neck and said, "It turns out that there really are such things as ghosts. Fortunately, you know about them."

"Generally don't care, we are not as nosy as you think."

"Then why are you here?"

Jiang Yan held his breath and said for a long time: "Make money."

He told the ins and outs, and Xi Ran almost laughed out loud, and said while laughing, "I thought you were out of this world."

Jiang Yan said angrily: "Eat, why don't you eat, I still grew up drinking milk."

Xi Ran smiled: "Then what are you going to do next?"

"If my guess is correct, the reason why the demonic energy in this building is uniform is because most people have their souls sucked away, and their bodies are controlled by the demonic energy. Their lifespan is not yet over, if their souls can be retrieved in time, maybe they can still be saved."

Xi Ran's outlook on life was impacted during this day, but the strange thing is that he didn't feel fear, but had a feeling of course, as if he was often exposed to these strange things, he pursed his lips and smiled, sat back Behind the desk, he said: "You go to work first, I have to work, we will contact you later."

Jiang Yan shook his head, sat down on the sofa, and said lightly: "I don't worry about you being alone, I'm here to accompany you."

Xi Ran did not refuse, and turned on the computer with a smile to prepare for work. After 5 minutes, he raised his head and asked Jiang Yan: "Do you know magic?"

"of course."

Xi Ran looked at him with interest.

There is a blue glass vase on his table, with a few pink and white platycodon flowers in it, the buds are shy and timid and have not yet bloomed, Jiang Yan pointed to the vase, Xi Ran took a look at it, and saw seven or eight platycodon flowers At the same time, it bloomed in the most splendid manner, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the entire office. Xi Ran's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face, "It's a beautiful flower."

However, Jiang Yan felt that the most beautiful flower in the world was not half as beautiful as Xi Ran.

When Xi Ran was working, Jiang Yan sat on the sofa and read magazines. From time to time, he raised his head and looked at each other tacitly. In the afternoon, the police found Xi Ran and asked about the situation. Because the death of the waiter was not suspicious, he simply made a statement and left. up.

Xi Ran still has to work overtime today, dinner can only be settled at Junhua, the two went to the public restaurant, and simply ordered a set meal for two, the taste is not bad, but the food is not very good, Xi Ran picks and chooses from the dinner plates of the two of them He barely ate half full. He felt that his behavior was a bit abnormal. He has a bit of cleanliness and would never eat other people's bowls, especially those he just met, but he felt that Jiang Yan made him feel very uncomfortable. Being close is like a friend who has known each other for a long time. Jiang Yan doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with being close. He leaves all the good food to Xi Ran, and his expression naturally sends all the food that Xi Ran doesn't like to himself. in stomach.

"That waiter just died, will he go to reincarnation?"

"If the soul can be found, it will be. If the soul has died, then he has disappeared from this world."

The two chatted for a while, and when they left the restaurant, Jiang Yan glanced back. The customers in the restaurant were sitting scattered all over the place eating, and the expressions on their faces fully described the various states of life. Some were laughing, some were sad, some were tired. There were also people who were excited, and it was not the same as what Jiang Yan saw in the city. However, he always felt that some of these people made him feel a sense of disobedience. Just vanished, like there were containers all over the building hiding them.

One thing Gu Yao said is correct, he is indeed not as experienced as the other party in dealing with such messy things, if the monster wants to hide from him, he may not be able to recognize it.

Xi Ran returned to the office and planned to take a nap. He lay prone on the table with his face buried in his arms, only showing a pair of big eyes staring at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan said lightly: "Close your eyes, I'll call you in half an hour, finish your work early and go home."

Xi Ran obediently closed his eyes, feeling exhausted, and instantly pulled him into a deep sleep.

Jiang Yan was heartbroken, and waited patiently for him to finish his overtime work, then personally sent him out of Junhua Building, and only felt relieved after watching his car swipe his card to go out.

When Xi Ran got home, he sent him a text message: "Bodyguard, I'm home."

"Well, go to bed early."

Jiang Yan sent text messages while walking, and said without looking up: "Don't stare at me."

Gu Yao rolled his eyes, and said weakly: "Can you put away your elderly phone?"

"This is not an old phone, it's a clamshell phone."

"Fool, this is a flip phone for the elderly."

Jiang Yan put the mobile phone into his pocket and looked at Gu Yao impatiently: "Are you finished? Where are your things?"

"Here." Gu Yao turned his hand back, and a bronze compass appeared in his palm. The compass is so old that the writing on it has been blurred, but this does not affect the use. The ancient family's familiarity with this compass has long been engraved in the blood Among them, the contract makes Luopan have a deep bond with them, even if they close their eyes, they can follow the guidance of the compass to where they want to go.

In recent years, visions have descended from heaven, all kinds of monsters have gathered in the world, the descendants of the Gu family are exhausted, and the compass has followed them everywhere. Gu Yao just retrieved the compass today, and in the dead of night, he and Jiang Yan searched for the monster s position.

Gu Yao took out the compass and chanted a mantra in a low voice, the compass vibrated violently, and then the pointer spun rapidly, almost flying out of the compass itself.

Gu Yao patted the compass and scratched his hair irritably.

Jiang Yan looked at him silently.

Gu Yao pursed his lips, silently put away the compass, and said slowly, "It seems... broken..."

"It's not that the compass is broken, but that monster is everywhere. Maybe it doesn't have a body, or maybe it's hidden in a certain barrier. I already have an idea. I'll go back today, and I'll talk to Zhou Cong tomorrow."

Gu Yao still wanted to ask, but obviously Jiang Yan didn't intend to talk to him anymore, so he turned his head and walked away, disappearing on the road in an instant before Gu Yao caught up.

Gu Yao was hurt by the compass, and he planned to go to his little rabbit to heal his wounds. He drove to the convenience store where Jiang Shu worked.

Gu Yao cleared his throat, Jiang Shu's eyes suddenly widened, and his ears trembled subconsciously.

"Why are you?" Jiang Shu glared at him unwillingly.

"Why can't it be me? I passed by to buy something, and gave me a pack of cigarettes, the kind I often smoke."

"I don't know what kind of cigarettes you smoke." Jiang Shu muttered twice, took out a pack of cigarettes and put them on the counter, and said with a blank expression, "It's 420 yuan in total."

Gu Yao was unpacking the cigarette box. Hearing this, his hands trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I smoke cigarettes, not big cigarettes. Why don't you grab them?"

Jiang Shu pursed his lips, and said pitifully, "I ate four lunch boxes today, and I haven't paid you yet."

Gu Yao suppressed a smile, stretched out his hand to pinch his chubby cheeks, and said with a smile: "There are more than four bentos, right? No wonder you are so fat and white. When do you get off work? I'll take you to eat supper, five hundred here, Keep the change, please."

Jiang Shu's eyes lit up excitedly: "Then I want to eat hot pot, I also want to eat barbecue, I also want to eat fried chicken, and I want to have some maocai, and it is best to have roasted pig's trotters or something for me to eat."

Gu Yao frowned and said pretendingly, "Wait a minute, let me see if I have enough money."

Jiang Shu opened his eyes and said aggrievedly: "Can't you still use credit cards and Alipay?"

Gu Yao smiled: "You know a lot."

Jiang Shu secretly laughed, and suddenly remembered something, his face darkened suddenly, and he said dawdly, "I can't go to dinner with you."

"why?"

"Senior brother says that one hurts the other, so you can't take advantage of others."

Gu Yao snorted: "You also believe Jiang Yan's nonsense, why don't you think about how much he ate at Ruan's family and how much money he spent?"

"That's true. It shouldn't be too late. Let's go quickly. If you don't walk around, you will be eaten up." Seeing that the time was up, Jiang Shu took off his work clothes, punched his card quickly, and after saying goodbye to his colleagues, he pulled Gu Yao run outside.

Gu Yao was dragged by him until his clothes were almost torn, and he said speechlessly, "You are really a rabbit when you run so fast."

Xu Yaoqing ([-])

Jiang Yan thought about it all night, and the image of the restaurant kept appearing in his mind. He always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't figure it out.

He called Zhou Cong early the next morning and wanted to meet him, but unfortunately Zhou Cong was out of town and would not be back until the afternoon, so Jiang Yan first went to Junhua to wait for him, and took Xi Ran to work by the way.

When he arrived at the gate of Junhua, he called Xi Ran and asked when he would arrive at the company.

Xi Ran said timidly on the phone: "There was a problem with a project yesterday, I came back in the middle of the night, and slept in the office for a while at night."

Jiang Yan felt that he might not realize the seriousness of the matter. To Jiang Yan, the people in the whole building were not as important as Xi Ran, so he left the matter to Gu Yao to investigate, and he took care of Xi Ran at every step. .

At this point, it was useless for him to be fierce, he hung up the phone with a "hmm", and took the elevator to the top floor.

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Xi Ran thought that Jiang Yan was angry, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yan came to his office to report in less than 10 minutes.

"I thought you were angry. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. There are thousands of people in this building, and only four people have an accident. The probability is not that high."

Jiang Yan put the sandwiches he bought at the restaurant on the table and said, "You're right, I'm really angry, have you had breakfast yet?"

Xi Ran pouted and pushed the sandwich back: "If you are so angry, take the sandwich away, I don't want to eat it."

Jiang Yan looked at him fixedly, sighed for a while and said: "Don't be angry, eat quickly."

Xi Ran smiled, and reached for the paper bag containing the sandwiches. The moment he stretched out his hand, Jiang Yan suddenly grabbed his wrist, and the expression on his face was so cold that it almost condensed into ice.

"What's the matter? You won't eat it again?"

"Why do you wear your watch on your right hand? You never wear your watch on your right hand!"

Xi Ran frowned and pulled his hand back vigorously, but he did not twitch after two twitches. Seeing Jiang Yan lose his temper inexplicably, he couldn't help getting angry, and said with a sullen face, "What nonsense are you talking about, I always wear it here. on one hand, I never wear my right hand."

Jiang Yan remembered the scene of the restaurant in an instant, and he finally connected the things together. He saw nearly half of the people eating with their left hands in the restaurant yesterday. It was too abnormal. This is not a picture that should appear under normal circumstances.

Jiang Yan almost wanted to tear down the room in anger, "I told you not to appear in this building alone! Why didn't you listen to me!"

Xi Ran leaned back subconsciously, wondering: "Are you so angry? Am I not well now?"

Jiang Yan didn't want to argue with him, so he called Gu Yao to come over immediately.

Before Gu Yao arrived at the office, the two of them stood in a stalemate across the desk for an entire hour, Xi Ran was frightened by his stare, and begged for mercy in a funny way: "Okay, it's all my fault, don't be angry, okay? "

Jiang Yan moved his lips, obviously wanting to say something, but he didn't say a word, it seemed that he couldn't say anything excessive just looking at Xi Ran's face.

*****

"It turned out to be a mirror demon. No wonder I couldn't find its hiding place. It turns out that the world it hides in the mirror can be explained in this way. Why those people can still live like normal people without their souls "Gu Yao knocked on the full-length mirror in the office, "The mirror demon sucked their souls and let the replicas created by the mirror replace them, so the monster aura is themselves, no wonder we only feel it is everywhere. Demonic energy, but no definite source can be found."

"Don't talk nonsense, what should we do now?" Jiang Yan asked Gu Yao impatiently, his eyes wandering back and forth on Xi Ran's face.

Xi Ran looked at the two people in bewilderment, and sat on the sofa holding his breath.

Gu Yao took off his coat to cover the dressing mirror, and said slowly: "The world in the mirror is connected to each other, as long as it has enough demon power, every mirror can be used by it, but since it can become a demon, there must be a mirror that is its body. Its body, smash it. Of course, if you do this, Xi Ran and the others will not be able to come back. If you venture into the mirror world, you may be able to rescue them. Anyway, the most urgent thing is to find the body of the mirror demon. "

Gu Yao pondered for a while and then said: "I remember that when I passed by here three months ago, everything was normal. The evil spirit of this building only appeared recently. Maybe you can ask Zhou Cong if there was any incident related to the mirror during this period. things."

Xi Ran propped his chin and listened for a while, but he was confused, and finally fell asleep on the table without interest.

Jiang Yan took off his coat and put it lightly on his shoulders, and touched his slightly cold hands.

Gu Yao was so disgusted, he pursed his lips and said, "Jiang Yan, are you sick? Are you so affectionate to a fake Xi Ran?"

Jiang Yan shook his head: "After all, the body is still his, and he in the mirror is also a part of him."

Gu Yao rolled his eyes: "Crazy."

Zhou Cong rushed back to Junhua in the afternoon, and was anxious to see Jiang Yan as soon as he came back. This matter is too bizarre, if we don’t solve it quickly, if two more people die one day, even if the tenant does not return the rent, the government will It can be regarded as a plague in their building, and it is directly sealed.

Jiang Yan didn't play around with him, and asked him directly: "Have you seen any strange mirrors in recent months? Especially some ancient mirrors, bronze mirrors and the like."

When he said that, Zhou Cong's expression suddenly changed. He patted his head, struggled for a while and asked, "This matter has something to do with the mirror? It's strange to say that there is indeed a mirror."

"Where's the mirror?"

"Don't worry, I'll make a call and ask." Zhou Cong dialed his sister's number and hung up after a brief exchange on the phone. He took Jiang Yan out of his office and said as he walked out, "Then The mirror was taken away by my younger sister, she didn’t bring it home, she left it in my brother-in-law’s office, my brother-in-law is on a business trip abroad recently, I told my sister just now, she asked the secretary to open the door for us.”

Zhou Cong took Jiang Yan to his brother-in-law's office, and according to what his sister said, he found the mirror in the drawer under the coffee table.

The two returned to Zhou Cong's office with the mirror, and Zhou Cong said: "Three months ago, during the renovation of the underground parking lot of Junhua Building, a box was dug out from the ground, and this mirror was taken out of the box. Yes, at that time I said that the mirror was unlucky, after all, it was something underground, but unexpectedly, my sister took a fancy to it, and insisted on taking the mirror away, is there something wrong with the mirror?"

It was an oval bronze mirror, the size of a palm. The front of the mirror was blurred, and the back was a hollowed-out plum blossom pattern. Apart from the fact that this mirror looked old, it was no different from an ordinary bronze mirror in the hand.

Jiang Yan got up and said, "I'll take the mirror away first, and we'll contact you if there's anything to do."

Zhou Cong stood behind him and shouted at him: "Don't go, what's going on?"

Jiang Yan took the mirror and went back to Xi Ran's office. The guy was still sleeping heartlessly, and he didn't know if he was extremely tired or his body couldn't bear it anymore.

Even though Gu Yao repeatedly claimed that Xi Ran's body could last at least ten days and a half months, Jiang Yan was still restless and raced against time to save Xi Ran.

Gu Yao studied the mirror for a while, and pondered: "You have only one way to save him, enter the world in the mirror, kill the mirror demon, maybe the souls of these people can take the initiative to return to their places."

Jiang Yan nodded: "Then let's do this, you help me take care of Xi Ran's body while I'm away."

Gu Yao struggled, looking at him hesitantly.

"Just say anything."

"I know that your soul is immortal, but you have to remember that once you are trapped inside, you will never be able to get out."

Jiang Yan lowered his head and curled his lips into a chuckle: "If I can't come back, then you can help me take care of one more person. Jiang Shu's temperament is uncertain, so watch him and don't let him go astray."

"Don't worry, whether it's Xi Ran's body or that silly rabbit, I will take good care of it for you, so you can go at ease."

Jiang Yan looked back at Xi Ran, who was sleeping soundly with his head tilted to the side. When he averted his gaze, his consciousness disappeared into the darkness.

He opened his eyes again, and there was a warm wind blowing on his face. In front of his eyes was a blue lake and towering misty green mountains. There are children giggling beside me, which seem to be close to each other, and seem to be absent.

He looked down and saw that he was wearing azure blue ancient clothes, his trousers were rolled up to his knees, and his calves were completely submerged in the lake water.

Suddenly someone hugged him from behind, and a gentle and familiar voice sounded slowly, "Yan'er, is the lake cold?"

Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback, not daring to answer easily.

A man dressed in white sat down beside him, rolled up his trousers following his example, his jade-like white and clean feet slightly touched the surface of the water, and then slowly stretched into the water.

He suddenly smiled, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was as bright as the bright sun at the moment, "The lake is so cold." He quickly stretched out his feet from the lake, dangling the wet feet in the air, dripping water beads back into the lake.

It's Xi Ran...

Jiang Yan could no longer hold back the throbbing in his heart, he suddenly hugged him into his arms, rubbing his chin lightly on his shoulder, feeling the warmth of each other's embrace.

"What's the matter? I'm only away for a day, so you miss me?" He slightly pushed Jiang Yan away, put the white socks back on his feet, and muttered to himself: "After all, autumn is here. Although the weather is good, The water in this lake is too cold, Yan'er, don't come here to mess around with the children tomorrow, do you want to go to the town to hear a play?"

Jiang Yan licked his lips, and nodded silently: "Listen to you." He couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, and he didn't want to startle the snake for the time being, since he came here, it's better to adapt to everything.

A child came towards them with a fish basket, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, are you here to pick up Brother Jiang Yan again?"

"Mr. Xu?" Jiang Yan asked in confusion.

"What's wrong with you, I'm Xu Yaoqing, why don't you seem to know me?"

Jiang Yan frowned tiredly, what is going on...

Xu Yaoqing ([-])

Jiang Yan has been observing this Xu Yaoqing all the way, he can be sure that he is Xi Ran's soul, but why is he called Xu Yaoqing, where are they now, and where is that mirror demon.

Before Jiang Yan could figure it out, he followed Xu Yaoqing back to their residence. They now live in a place called Taohua Village. The house is newly built and the furniture is brand new. There is a sheep and a few chickens raised in the yard. It should look like a wealthy family.

Xu Yaoqing went into the kitchen to make dinner, and Jiang Yan fed the chickens with rice in the yard. During this period, several children came to Jiang Yan to play with stones. Jiang Yan played with them and asked them some questions. All answered.

Jiang Yan probably figured out their current situation. He and Xu Yaoqing moved to Taohua Village together a few years ago. Now Xu Yaoqing works as an accountant for a wealthy family in the town.
