Fengqi Nancheng

The two went to the restaurant downstairs to have a simple meal, and after returning, Nan Yucheng went to take a shower and go to bed.Lin Heng just woke up and was still not sleepy, so he flipped through an old movie to watch in the living room.

Nan Yucheng's mobile phone was charging in the living room, right next to Lin Heng's hand. Lin Heng watched the movie for a long time, but didn't notice anything about it. He kept glancing at the mobile phone next to him.After hesitating for a while, he sighed, seeing that Nan Yucheng was fast asleep, he carefully took his cell phone over.

He flipped through the recent call log.

The last call was made at eleven o'clock this morning, and the correspondent was Gu Qiyuan.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lin Heng turned down again, and turned several pages in a row, and found that in the recent period of time, more than 80.00% of the numbers dialed from Nan Yucheng's mobile phone were called to Gu Qiyuan.

What are they discussing?Is there anything you have to hide from yourself?

Lin Heng recalled what happened during this period of time, trying to figure out a way of thinking, but felt that the various clues were so complicated that his head almost exploded.

At this moment, Lin Heng's own cell phone vibrated twice suddenly, indicating that there was a new message.

He looked down and saw a summary of the information on the screen. There was only one sentence, but Lin Heng's heart skipped a beat:

"I'm still waiting for you, see you soon."

The message was sent from an unfamiliar number, but the content of the text message made Lin Heng instantly understand who the sender was.

He pursed his lips, the previous incident made him almost forget the note Gui Qi left.

However, looking back on it now, Lin Heng suddenly felt that maybe this was a way to understand the truth.

When everyone around him was trying to hide everything, the only person who was willing to tell the truth became Lin Heng's salvation at this time.

He pursed his lips, put Nan Yucheng's cell phone aside, and went back to his room to get a coat.Seeing that Nan Yucheng was still asleep, he left a note and went out.

He didn't tell Nan Yucheng where he went, the purpose of leaving a note was just to prevent Nan Yucheng from thinking too much.

He wants to know the truth, and this hunger for the truth is almost driving him crazy.

He took a deep breath, tightened the collar of his clothes, turned and walked into the elevator.

The place Gui Qi agreed on was in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. When Lin Heng took a taxi, because the location was too remote, and it was getting dark, the driver was reluctant to take the taxi out of safety considerations, and it took a while. , By the time the appointed place was reached, it was already completely dark.

It was already winter at this time, and Lin Heng felt a chill as soon as he got out of the car.When I went out, I only brought a coat because I was in a hurry. There are tall buildings around the center of the city, and the wind will not be too harsh. Standing, the wind blows from all directions, like countless pairs of cold blades cutting Lin Heng's cheeks.

He shrank himself in his coat, looked around, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number that he had sent a message to himself before.

The taxi had already left, and Lin Heng was the only one standing blankly in the whole field, the light from the mobile phone in his hand became the only light source within a radius of [-] meters.

The phone was connected quickly, and Lin Heng clearly heard the howling of the wind coming from the other end of the phone. He judged that Gui Qi should be not far away from him, so he said, "I'm here, come out."

Gui Qi smiled: "I saw you, don't move." After speaking, she cut off the phone.

On such a night, waiting for someone who doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend alone in the dark wilderness for the secret that has troubled him for a long time-Lin Heng admits that he is still a little scared-however, the longing for the truth and the long-term The anger and pain that had been concealed all this time made Lin Heng feel that even though it was fearful and dangerous, it was all worth it.

He can't be an ignorant baby forever, what does these things have to do with him, whether he has made any mistakes... He needs to know all these things.

He was lost in thought, not noticing the sound of a person's footsteps behind him.

When he came back to his senses, Gui Qi had already walked to his side and patted his shoulder lightly, just like how she greeted Lin Heng countless times in East China: "Hey, why are you in a daze."

Lin Heng turned his head, he couldn't see Gui Qi's appearance clearly in the dark, he could only see her pair of eyes were extraordinarily bright, flickering, with a little smile.

Lin Heng also smiled: "It's okay. Where are we going? It's so cold here."

"You're too delicate." Gui Qi gave a contemptuous "Tsk", "Let's go, I'll take you to a colder place."

Lin Heng: "..."

To be honest, after recalling what happened in the hospital before, Lin Heng never expected to see Gui Qi again, and there would be such an atmosphere between the two of them.But there is no doubt that Gui Qi's attitude made Lin Heng's original tense mood relax a lot. Once a person relaxes, his thinking will become more active, and many things will naturally be easier to think through than usual.

Lin Heng asked, "How did you escape from the hospital?"

Gui Qi said "ah": "That... Actually, I came to attack you with the determination to die, so before I did it, I put a life-saving talisman on myself."

"So you didn't actually die at the time? But I obviously..."

"No, I am indeed dead." Gui Qi said nonchalantly: "But there is a medicine that can keep my soul in my body. Although I am 'dead', I can still act as if I am alive."

Lin Heng frowned: "What's the difference between that and being alive?"

"The difference is—" Gui Qi looked back at Lin Heng, and smiled suddenly: "I won't tell you yet."

Although Lin Heng has never been to the suburb they are currently in, he has heard a lot about it.It is said that there is a freshwater lake nearby. The scenery is particularly beautiful. Every year, people from surrounding cities come here for a leisure trip. In order to protect the nearby ecological environment, the local government ordered the surrounding factories to relocate.It was for this reason that the factory where Gui Qi and Lin Heng had agreed to meet was abandoned.

Gui Qi took Lin Heng for a walk, and gradually, Lin Heng saw his vision widen in front of him.

In the darkness, the lake water not far away was slightly rippling in the night, and the shimmering light was like the Milky Way hanging upside down in front of the sky. That kind of deep and magnificent beauty made Lin Heng, who had been stagnant in his heart all this time, tremble. Shu.

Gui Qi led Lin Heng to a cliff protruding above the lake.This cliff is about 30 meters high, and the vertical bottom is the center of the lake. Standing here and looking down, it seems that the entire Milky Way has been stepped under his feet. That kind of grand scene made Lin Heng lose his mind for a moment, and almost forgot The purpose of coming here.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Gui Qi looked at the lake below and murmured: "This is one of my favorite places. It's been many years. Every time I feel that I can't go on, I will come here to have a look."

Lin Heng was fascinated by the scene in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to what Gui Qi was saying. When he came back to his senses, Gui Qi was already a little impatient.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Ah?" Lin Heng snapped back to his senses.

"I just want to ask you, how much do you really know about what happened around you?" Gui Qi asked.

Lin Heng didn't say anything, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Did you really do those things in the hospital? Are all the things you... said to 'that me' in the hospital true?"

"It's true." Gui Qi put away her joking expression before, her expression was serious, and it seemed to completely overlap with the ruthless appearance in Lin Heng's dream: "My purpose is to kill the resentful spirit body in your body, even if I will sacrifice you, and I will not hesitate."

"Then why don't you do it now?" Lin Heng looked at her quietly.The moment he said these words, he noticed the sad look on Gui Qi's face.

She twitched the corners of her mouth and forced a smile-like expression: "Because I can't kill you."

"Before the awakening of the Wraith Spirit Body, unless you kill yourself yourself, no one can take your life." Gui Qi said, sighing: "I asked you to come here to let me know Everything about it, I'll tell you—but it's up to you to decide."

"You should have remembered everything that happened in the hospital. Since you can remember, it means that you are aware of the existence of the Wraith Body." Lin Heng didn't say a word, and Gui Qi obviously didn't need his response. , sat on the ground on his own, and started talking.

"Since the last confrontation with the Wraith Body, I have realized that it is impossible to get rid of him with my own strength. However, if I can't get rid of him, then what is the meaning of my life? What is the meaning of my parents, ancestors, and the goals that generations have striven for? I am not reconciled to such a result, so I will bear some unimaginable consequences wisely, so I still did it—” She paused Suddenly, he said in a shy voice: "I found a spell in the books handed down by the family that can summon the souls of the ancestors - of course, it requires a huge price - but, through it, I know the Gu family The plan all along, and the purpose of those around you."

She raised her head, looked at Lin Heng provocatively, and smiled slightly: "Did you always think that you lived a peaceful and happy life?"

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

"I told 'you' when I was in the hospital last time that your birth was probably planned. Judging from the relationship between your mother and the Gu family, it is very likely that from the time she knew your father to the time you were born, It is a plan for the Wraith Body. You were born as the host body of the Wraith Body. Everything you experienced after birth, including your feelings, was all in their plan. You thought everything It's all fate, it's a just-right meeting, but it's just a pawn that many people have buried many years ago, and you stepped on it until today."
