Shen Zicheng

"But now I have to disappear, or someone will make me disappear forever."

Qiyue chuckled and took a step back. I watched his body gradually become transparent, and it seemed that he was really going to disappear in an instant.

I must have shown a shocked expression, which made Qiyue smile, and said something silently, and then he seemed to melt into the air, leaving only a pair of eyes shining red.

But then those eyes were also closed, and the red light disappeared without a trace like a flame swallowed by something.

I didn't come back to my senses, I opened my eyes wide and walked to the place where July and a half disappeared, subconsciously stretched out my hand and scratched in the air, thinking that this guy wouldn't just disappear like this.

"Damn it." I couldn't help but mutter.

However, I didn't know that I was so popular... Such a handsome ghost rushed to be friends with me?

I took a few steps back and forth, in disbelief at what had just happened.

But I bet he had evil intentions in the first place, at least not the nice and friendly idea of ​​wanting to be my friend.What happened then?Did something happen while I was unconscious that changed his attitude?But more importantly, why did I lose consciousness...

I couldn't think of the result, but after a while I knew what Qi Yue said that someone would make him disappear forever.

Shen Qiao appeared.

He had a rare look of astonishment, maybe he didn't expect to see me at this time and this place.

I started counting the last time I saw him, and I was surprised to find that another week had passed.

Shen Qiao looked straight at me with an ugly expression: "What are you doing here?"

"...I don't know?" I replied with the same tone as him, and then looked in the direction Shen Qiao was walking, a little curious why he came from a direction away from the city.

Shen Qiao's eyes were very strange, she stared at me for a long time, then suddenly let out a sigh of relief, turned her head away abruptly, and left straight away.

I wanted to follow subconsciously, but something seemed to stop me somewhere.I stood where I was, looking at the direction Shen Qiao came from, and couldn't help but want to go there from the bottom of my heart.

I can't remember what is there, but there is a vague sense of familiarity like the hanging garden.

What's there?have i been thereAnd stayed there for a while?

"You... are still looking for your memories with that person?" Shen Qiao might have thought that I was following him, but his voice was a little weak due to the wind.

When I came back to my senses, I took a few steps back suddenly, thinking that I had obviously given up on the idea of ​​reminiscing, and couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Have you found anything?" Shen Qiao walked further and further away, but his voice became clearer, Gu Jing's tone was vaguely ridiculed with the certainty that I would fail.

In an instant, the turbulent memory invaded all my consciousness again.

"I don't understand why you—" Shen Qiao turned around, and I saw his frozen expression.

"Ah Cheng?"

……

I feel like I'm getting more confused than before.

Sometimes I suddenly can't remember who I am, and only a small fragment remains in my mind.Sometimes cheerful, more often tragic and indifferent.

I stubbornly held on to this fragment, trying to find my lost self through the glass-shard-like memory.

I always see a child with an expressionless face, standing in every picture, occupying a poor corner, as if he can see me, staring at me for a moment.

He grew bigger and bigger, from a child to a teenager, but he always had a gloomy face, as if the whole world owed him.His figure was blurry at first, but then gradually became clearer.

In the end, I could see the kid's face clearly.

It's Shen Zicheng.

"...As I said," Shen Qiao's voice was calm, and his expression was unwavering, "It's better that you don't know about some things."

I was staying in Shen Qiao's room, and it was a cold moonlit night outside, curled up in a corner, staring at Shen Qiao in a daze. "……Why?"

"Because you will become like that." Shen Qiao glanced at me lightly, showing a smile that didn't mean anything, "Like an evil ghost..."

I stopped talking.

I was indeed manipulated by something, violent and painful emotions swept over me, and in an instant I even wanted to destroy the world, or destroy myself.

I don't remember what happened at that time, but when I came back to my senses, Shen Qiao had already become what she is now.

His face was pale, and he was lying on the bed with his chest covered in bandages.

Like dying.

"...what did I do?" I felt guilty.If it didn't happen that something hit Shen Qiao, then I did something unimaginable.

Shen Qiao was silent for a while, then raised her eyebrows and said, "You slapped me on the cliff."

"I didn't even know I could do this."

"Because you didn't have the tendency to become a demon before that."

"It seems that the evil spirit is more advanced than me."

"Yes, you must be higher on the blacklist of spiritual masters."

I stopped talking, stared at the smiling Shen Qiao, and said after a while, "Have you decided to get rid of me?"

"Me?" Shen Qiao shook her head, touched her lips with her hand, seemed to think seriously for a while, and said, "I won't...but it's just that I don't."

I laughed: "You said that there are no other spiritual masters except you." After a pause, I added, "Or do you have a son?"

Shen Qiao also laughed, but his smile made me put away my expression unconsciously, and listened to him in a daze: "No...but, I am also 'as' a son."

I suddenly realized that I had never bumped into Shen Qiao's parents.Whether in his home or in the hospital, it was as if these two people did not exist.

Shen Qiao did everything by herself.I mean, he looks like he's independent and strong, like someone who's very used to taking care of people.

I was a little unable to turn the corner, and asked stupidly: "Your father...isn't...?" Is he dying.

"Yes." Shen Qiao said mockingly, "But, before that time came, he was still very energetic. This is their rule, what is the difference between male and female... If I have a daughter, I don't know if they Will it wait for this vein to be cut off, or will it destroy the rules they set by itself. Ha."

It sounds like this is someone who has no sense of family.I thought of something and said, "Perhaps your cousin—or cousin, will have a son."

Shen Qiao looked at me in surprise, and then said in a strange tone: "It's my cousin... But it's impossible. He... is a bachelor... Maybe, it should be."

He used two speculative words in a row, with a confused look on his face.

I watched him quietly without speaking.

Shen Qiao was stunned for a while, I held back and didn't ask him what he was thinking, and was about to speak, Shen Qiao said first: "No, don't talk about it, skip this topic... talk about other things..." pleadingly tone of voice.

Shen Qiao's eyes fell on me, which made me suddenly have an ominous premonition, and said a little uncomfortably, "Others?"

Shen Qiao was silent for a long time, looking straight into my eyes, which made me turn my head in extreme discomfort, trying to draw his attention to other directions.

But I didn't succeed.

I noticed that his gaze suddenly changed from soft to sharp, as if he had made some terrible decision.

"For example, you—" Shen Qiao said, after a long pause, "what do you know?"

An ominous foreboding was experienced.

My consciousness shook violently, and the picture in front of me also became turbulent.

There was a nauseous pain that made me want to gag, and I was attacked again by the memory of the madness of the sea in a storm.

"...I don't know anything!"

Almost as soon as I yelled out, a sharp pain as if my limbs were torn hit me.

I just felt as if I was pressed against the wall by a hand, and then passed through the wall in horror, and hid in the next room, but the invisible weapon tracked me, and it tore at my body.

I yelled and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The cold breath condensed into substance and spread over, they found my place without any effort, I even felt that I saw a face of death staring in the air.

The noise rang in my ears, as if countless people were talking at the same time. I hugged my head in horror and watched that empty face getting closer and closer.

But it disappeared without a trace in the next second, and together with those things that hurt me, I clearly felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

I was a little dazed, stood up cautiously, waited for a while, and then tremblingly moved back to Shen Qiao's room.

He was lying quietly on the bed, covering his face with his hands, and I couldn't even feel whether he was unconscious or not.

But soon I realized he was lucid.

"You are lying... You are obviously afraid of death... You are obviously very afraid of death, you ran away, didn't you? You ran away, obviously if you didn't run away just now, I could die with you... ...But you ran away again, you didn't want to die, you obviously didn't want to die..."

He was right, and I couldn't refute it.I don't want to just disappear...but I'm afraid of existing like this.

There were two voices in my heart, one clamored for me to find out all the truth, and the other said to me with a sneer: "Quickly disappear, it's useless, you shouldn't exist in the first place."

I was suddenly in pain and couldn't help but want to escape from this place.But something grabbed my leg, so I could only stand there, staring blankly at Shen Qiao screaming there.

The voice has a wet cry.

"I don't understand, I don't understand what you are thinking...Obviously...Obviously we can die together...You are so afraid of death...So afraid of being alone...Then you, then you...!"

Shen Qiao said something else, but I really didn't hear it clearly.Because when it came to the back, something more powerful than before hit my body violently, and I was blown away abruptly.

Still rolling in the air.

My head was full of astonishment, and while I was rolling in the air in a daze, I heard a heart-piercing cry coming from Shen Qiao's house, which was getting farther and farther away from me.

At that position, I saw a huge black shadow rising up, forming a cold human face in the air, facing the cold night, like a god of death.

The other ghosts in this area scattered almost instantly, and one or two were terrified as if being chased by a vicious dog, desperately trying to escape from here.

I even heard terrified screams from living humans, which made me realize to my amazement that something in the sky was visible to humans as well.

There are humans running, but in the opposite direction from the ghosts.The ignorant people who don't know the world here subconsciously follow their own curiosity.

So, flipping in the air, I saw two weird circles, with the black shadow as the center, one circle spread outward, and the other circle contracted inward.

Of course, I was much more relaxed when I was photographed flying.

It just felt like my body was going to collapse.

Now I finally know why ghosts are afraid of necromancers. In fact, I think humans should be afraid of necromancers too.

Thinking about it this way, the spiritual master is really not accepted by the two worlds.

...would you feel lonely?

I thought so before losing consciousness.
