"Let's prepare for the funeral, it should only be these two days." The doctor's tone was filled with an imperceptible trace of regret, but he didn't say any more. After handing over the critical illness notice to the girl in front of him, he inserted his hands into the mouth of the white coat. pocket, turned and left.

Birth, old age, sickness and death have become commonplace in the hospital, but as a doctor, he can't save the patient's life. This feeling of powerlessness has also become numb after a long time.It was rare for him to sympathize this time, and it was only because the girl was left alone after the death of some poor patients. Judging by the high school uniform she was wearing, she should not be an adult yet.

The smooth and straight black hair hung down to cover the girl's beautiful eyes, she was staring at the notice in her hand, her face was pale and unhuman, but there was no trace of sadness.

Ye Li has never shed tears. Since she was a child, no matter when she was ridiculed by other children because she didn't have a father, or when she received her mother's critical illness report today, she never shed a single tear.

After a long time, Ye Li looked at the heart-wrenching big words "terminal cancer, critical illness" on the notice, and all the words that the doctors and nurses said to her in the past few days seemed to echo in his ears, "We have tried our best." "The cancer cells have all spread, there is no other way"

In the quiet corridor of the hospital, Ye Li pursed her thin lips, and suddenly said softly: "Who said there is no way."

Ye Li raised her eyes when she said this, if someone saw her at this moment, they would find that her original eyes were not filled with the light of hope, but fell into a deeper darkness.

When God couldn't save me, I fell into the arms of the devil.

----

One week ago at night, Ye Li tiptoed into the living room to pour some water, and deliberately lowered the sound of his footsteps so as not to disturb his mother's rest. Today, my mother came back after working all day, so she must be very tired.

When Ye Li, who had drunk the water, turned around and wanted to go back to the room, he happened to walk past the floor-to-ceiling mirror placed in the living room. Ye Li stopped unconsciously and looked at himself in the mirror. He had the same delicate but cold face, crooked. Tilting her head, the long-haired girl in a white nightdress also tilted her head in the mirror.

When Ye Li was about to stop this childish behavior and go back to the room, suddenly a shivering coldness crawled down the spine to her brain, making her feel numb all over, and the strange phenomenon in the rectangular mirror made her feel even more disturbed. Her pupils constrict,

A thick black shadow stood behind her,

Ye Li could clearly feel the chill approaching, but she couldn't move, and couldn't even make a sound.

Is it a ghost?Ye Li opened his eyes wide, fixedly staring at the black shadow in the mirror, and could vaguely see a figure with a cloak.

Heiying also felt her gaze, and turned his head slightly. Ye Li looked at the movement of Heiying, and couldn't help but cover his mouth, afraid that he would make a sound. If he was unable to speak out because of panic before, he should calm down now. She was only worried that the sound she made would wake up her mother and let her see this horrible scene.

"As expected of the person I chose." Hei Ying seemed satisfied that Ye Li could calm down so quickly, but the words he said were still cold and frightening.

"Who are you?" Ye Li mustered up his courage, gritted his teeth and said this sentence.

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I can fulfill all your wishes."

The words full of temptation only made Ye Li feel even more frightened, just like the snake incarnated by Satan tempting Adam and Eve, one step leads to the abyss, Ye Li didn't believe that the words spoken by the mysterious and terrifying black shadow cost nothing, She just wanted Sombra to leave her home as soon as possible, away from her and her mother.

"what would you like?"

Black Shadow's cold voice sounded, "I want you to pay something."

"What if I refuse?" Ye Li said these words under the pressure that he might be killed in the next second.

"You won't, you'll come to me soon, and it won't be long."

Soi Ying left such a plausible sentence before disappearing.

After the penetrating coldness left, Ye Li sat limply on the ground, his back was already dripping with cold sweat.

What Ye Li didn't see was that a silver-gray "8" was printed on her fair forehead in the mirror.

----

"Today's class we are talking about..." The teacher on the podium turned his back on the blackboard and wrote a few words with chalk on the blackboard before starting the day's lecture.

Ye Li rarely lost his mind, and couldn't help but drift to the weird experience last night, what did the black shadow mean when she said that she would go to him soon, and why she was said to be the chosen one...

"Ye Li." "Ye Li."

After being called twice in a row, Ye Li came back to his senses, got up from his seat and looked at the teacher.

Fortunately, Ye Li's grades were always good, so the teacher didn't force her to distract her in class, and just repeated her words in a gentle voice, "Ye Li, come and recite this paragraph."

Ye Li picked up the textbook, but after a quick glance, he knew which paragraph the teacher was referring to. The voice he said echoed in the classroom gracefully and peacefully like a gurgling stream.

"If the time of day corresponds to the four seasons, of course spring is morning, summer is noon, autumn is dusk, and winter is night. If musical instruments are used to correspond to the four seasons, I think spring should be the trumpet, ... winter is the clean land a lonely pipe on the

After the sound of jingling bells, Ye Li tidied up her textbooks, picked up her bag and walked out of the school alone. In the eyes of others, she was always so alone and difficult to get close to. With her looks, there should be many people who want to be friends with her, but not everyone can live under her indifferent eyes that seem to see through everything.

Many people have rumored that Ye Li is so indifferent because of family reasons, but those who have really been in contact with her know that she also laughs, but the smile is indifferent, from the bottom of the heart, and she is indifferent to everyone except her mother. The indifference of everyone outside is like people and goldfish, especially Ye Li's family never raises goldfish.

For several days, Ye Li didn't mention the incident of that night to his mother, firstly, he didn't want her to worry, and secondly, the black shadow never came to her again, maybe that's the end of it.

Ye Li suddenly felt a sense of shame, ashamed of her ostrich mentality, Ye Li has always been the only one who despises others when she grows up, this kind of superiority, whether it is above IQ or ability, makes people While Ye Li felt lonely, she also had a satisfying sense of security, but the black shadow that surpassed the power of nature broke the safety fortress she had built for herself, letting her know that she was vulnerable to the black shadow.

When people lose their sense of security, they often do things beyond reason, bully those who are weaker than themselves, or look for new security sustenance desperately. These are the things that ordinary people will do, and Ye Li Cha is not an ordinary person, the more insecure she feels, the calmer she becomes.

Ye Li went to a library she frequented. This library has been there since she was seven years old. This time, all she was looking for were books related to demons and supernatural phenomena. She always respected science. She had always scoffed at these books, but now she felt the need to read them.

Ye Li, who had spent most of her time in the library, closed the thick book in her hand, twisted her tingling neck, and put the book back to its original place. When she was about to leave, a voice stopped her, "Ye Li."

Ye Li stopped, and a handsome boy in a white shirt and black-rimmed glasses walked over quickly, with a serious face, "Ye Li, come to the library too."

Ye Li nodded slightly, and went over the appearance of the boy in front of him in his mind, "Song Chen."

Song Chen was obviously a little surprised that Ye Li could remember his name, but he didn't know how to speak, and could only say, "Ye Li, it's so late, I... I'll take you home." He said this Sometimes he didn't even dare to look up at Ye Li's face.

"no need."

Song Chen was taken aback for a moment, and when he raised his head again, he saw Ye Li had already walked out of the library gate.

Ye Li didn't take what happened just now to heart, and when he got on the bus, he found that there was no seat, so he just stood at the place near the door.Just as Ye Li was recalling what he had read in the book, a black figure in a cloak was standing there in the scene passing by outside the car window.

Ye Li's pupils shrank, and his heartbeat stopped for a moment. He quickly walked a few steps to the back of the car and looked over there, but it was ordinary and ordinary.

Ye Li knew that he was always by her side.

One morning a week later, my mother, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, suddenly collapsed from pain and became unconscious. She was sent to the hospital. After two days of physical examination, it was confirmed that the liver cancer was in an advanced stage.

Outside the ward, Ye Li sent away the teachers and classmates who came to visit. He didn't even look at Song Chen who finally left with a hesitant expression on his face, and went back to the ward, sat in front of the bed, took an apple and prepared to peel it for his mother.

Ye Li's mother looked at the well-behaved daughter in front of her, feeling a little distressed, "A Li, I know what my situation is like, and the only thing I can't worry about is you..."

She was interrupted by Ye Li before she finished speaking, "Don't say bad things, the doctor hasn't given up yet, why did you give up."

"There must be a way." Ye Li said firmly, the apple in his hand has been peeled beautifully, revealing the plump, round, and slightly yellowish flesh, and Ye Li took a whole unbroken apple Put the peel in the trash can, and hand the apple to the mother.

Ye Li's mother looked at her daughter with firm eyes, couldn't help but sighed, and took the apple.

Ye Li's mother is Ye Zhilan, she is beautiful, most of Ye Li's outstanding appearance is due to her mother, and the other half is due to her father who has never appeared before.Ye Zhilan's mother and daughter are immigrants from City Z. They told the neighbors that her husband passed away, so they moved here with their children.

City Z is only a small city in the third and fourth tiers, its scale is not large, and the information is not very circulated. For Ye Zhilan, it means another kind of security.

Ye Li could see through the lie that her husband passed away and there was no one in her natal family, but she just didn't care, as long as she knew that this woman was indeed her biological mother, and she would give everything for her.

When Ye Li went out to bring her meals, Ye Zhilan dialed a number that had been memorized for so many years but had never been dialed before.

After two beeps, the phone was connected, "I'm Ye Zhensheng, who are you looking for?"

Ye Zhilan's eyes were flushed, and a hoarse voice sounded, "Brother..."

Ye Zhilan seemed to have exhausted all her strength after dialing this call. As soon as the call ended, she fell into a critical condition. Doctors and nurses had to give her emergency rescue. She was getting weaker and weaker, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. She could at least rest assured. After she went, her parents, elder brother and second brother forgave her and would take good care of Ali.

Outside the intensive care unit, after Ye Li said those words while looking at the critical illness notice in his hand, a strong wish spread in his heart, no matter what price he paid, as long as her wish could be fulfilled.

In the next second, a black shadow appeared at the end of the long corridor, and behind him was a faint blue light, gradually approaching, as if the god who ruled fate, not the devil from hell.

A cold voice sounded in the silence, "I said you would come to me."

At this moment, Ye Li no longer had any thoughts of fear, she looked directly at the thick shadow and said, "I am willing to trade."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Li found that the environment around him had changed, the place he was in was no longer the long corridor of the hospital, but the endless darkness.

Ye Li has no time to take care of these things, she just stares at the black figure in front of her who says she can fulfill all her wishes, she doesn't care if it's a devil or a god.

"You were born to belong to the dark side,

I will give you endless wealth, an immortal body, the ability to spy on people's hearts, and to predict disasters and fortunes, as long as you return me, loyalty. "

"Okay, I am willing. I will exchange my loyal request for Ye Zhilan's health, and... forget all the memories about me."

"The contract is established, and eternal life cannot be changed forever."

When the Ye family arrived at City Z overnight, they learned that their younger sister, Ye Zhilan, had miraculously recovered and suffered from selective amnesia, forgetting about their niece who mysteriously disappeared the night Ye Zhilan was critically ill.
