The Exorcist

Vol 4 Chapter 7: Exquisite lacquerware

Ruan Zhan woke up in a cold sweat from his nightmare.

He has never had a nightmare since he was sent to his adoptive father by a ghost after he was five years old.

In the dream, Xiao Xia was entangled tightly by a snake, and her bones were broken and blood dripped. He always wanted to save her, but he couldn't do anything but the river could only watch her fall into death with eager eyes!

The pain of watching her die in front of him made his heart grind to pieces.

There must be something wrong with her! Ruan Zhan believed in his hunch.

He is the kind of so-called ‘spiritual power’ that the deeper he reads to the person in his heart, the stronger his telepathy with the other person, so he knows what she is entangled with, he must see what happened to her!

He ran to Wanli in the middle of the night "Give me Xiaoxia's cell phone number."

"What happened?" Wan Li asked worriedly, knowing that if Ruan Zhan came to him in the middle of the night, there must be a problem.

"I'm going to a city to see. I think something will happen to her."

"I'll go with you!"

"You don’t need to be free, like I’m free, you still have a job. If I can’t handle it, you can’t go if you want." Ruan Zhan patted his backpack. Will be there."

"She will be fine now, right?" Wan Li believed Ruan Zhan's premonition eagerly to know the current situation.

Ruan Zhan paused for a moment. It seemed that he was feeling carefully inside. In fact, he was not sure because the matter involved Xiaoxia. His heart was completely upset. "There should be nothing wrong but there must be danger."

"Well, then you go first. I believe you can bring her back safely." People who are not mothers-in-law at Wanli are no longer wordy when they hear the situation. "

"That's what I mean." He looked at his wrist watch. "As soon as you go to work, go and find out where she works. If I can't find her for a while, I must at least have a goal."

"Ok it to me." Wan Li agreed.

After bidding farewell to Wanli Ruan Zhan, I went straight to the airport. Although it was the earliest flight that could be booked and arrived in a city on time, Ruan Zhan was still anxious. Because he had called Xiaoxia's cell phone before but couldn't get through.

He had to call Wanli to find out where she worked and then pretended to be her boyfriend and went there to look for her directly. However, he learned that she had asked for a leave of absence from the company when she arrived at her work unit because there was a murder where she lives. Currently, people are providing clues in the police station.

As soon as he heard the murder, he knew why he was upset. The upset didn't ease slightly because he heard that she was in the police station, so he went to look for her without hesitation. I happened to see her walking out just ten meters away from the gate of the police station.

But beside her, there was a man who was not tall, but delicate and shrewd. The man held her shoulder with one hand and held her arm with a cold and warm look. The strange thing is that Xiaoxia did not refuse to lean on the man halfway.

"Xiao Xia!" He walked over and subconsciously yelled a word in his heart because she was so close to other men. He didn't know if it was jealous or not. It felt like he was not familiar with it. He only knew that he wanted to take her out of the man's arms.

Xiaoxia was shocked when she heard someone make her look up, and she saw Ruan Zhan standing in front of her thinking it was a dream. Because the unexpected accident made her too late to control her emotions, tears poured into her eyes.

"Ruan Zhan!" She happily asked him to take a step towards him, but the pain in the soles of her feet made her fall forward and be hugged by Ruan Zhan.

She sighed comfortably in his arms, the panic that had never stopped suddenly disappeared.

"Be careful!" He hugged her, reluctant to let go. "What's going on this time?"

This question made Xiao Xia wake up from her dreamlike encounter.

Yeah, something happened to me ‘again’! But she didn't want Ruan Zhan to get involved in her own troubles, troubles of this kind, so she hurriedly stood up straight, but her feet hurt made her unsteady at all.

"Don't be brave." He went over to tighten her waist and let her lean on him and squeeze the strange man aside without showing a trace.

"Tell me what happened to your feet?" he asked.

It is obvious that her foot is injured, even if you don't look at her expression, you can judge from her appearance. She was wearing men's shoes on both feet and one of her feet was hanging on the ground without touching the ground, and she screamed in pain when she touched the ground.

But are these shoes that man's? What is his relationship with Xiaoxia?

"There is still a face." He asked one after another without waiting for her to answer.

At such a close distance, he could see that a scratch on her left face from the temple to the red chin was shockingly placed on her white face. This made him caressed unconsciously for a while without considering the intimacy of this action.

Xiaoxia blushed sweetly and panicked by his closeness. "Nothing happened last night—there was a homicide where I live." She whispered as if it were her fault. "But the police have resolved it." Don't worry about it anymore."

"I'm asking about your injury."

"Oh, it was Miss Xiao Xia who stepped on the broken glass when she came out of the room." Kenji Gangmura said, "His face was accidentally scratched."

"This is my neighbor, Mr. Xianer Gangcun." Xiao Xia explained to Ruan Zhan with a look of confusion, "He helped me a lot."

"Don't say that." Kenji Okamura said quickly, "We are facing the enemy together and Miss Xiao Xia is the bravest girl I have ever seen."

Ruan Zhan knew that Xiao Xia had gone to see Yi Yong again, so that she should be able to protect herself with the spell she gave her.

"Find a place to stay first, let's talk about your feet better." Ruan Zhan frowned and stopped a taxi to help Xiaoxia sit in, not letting the Japanese take a step closer.

Kenji Okamura looked at him clearly and didn't argue.

After everything was arranged, Xiao Xia told Ruan Zhan the whole incident and the situation in the morning alone.

In the early morning, the police visited the love hotel for the third time, but this time it was the owner Lan Shan who died.

His upper body was chopped up and the stump embedded in the window of the small window left a section of it to keep him from falling, but just hung there. He was bizarrely straight as if he was stuck in a wall, with both arms slumped and swayed by the north wind in the winter, as if beckoning to the people below.

His face was blue and gray and blue and gray, the color that no one could describe. His eyes were closed but his eyes were closed, and his lower limbs fell on the floor of the attic. There were viscera that had fallen out of his abdomen.

Before the police blocked the scene, everyone who passed by saw this scene. No one was shocked, including the three people who "survived" from the building.

In fact, their sense of panic was even more profound because as soon as they left Kenji's door in Gangcun, they saw that the blood in a place was seeping from the attic, and the tick tick was still leaking down. Sister Wang cried and screamed when she saw this.

And Xiaoxia never realized that although her clothes were neatly dressed, she didn't wear shoes in a panic. As a result, she was barefoot when she stepped on the broken wine bottle that Lan San fell to the ground and was injured.

After the police arrived, she was busy investigating the scene and went to the hospital accompanied by a police officer to treat the wound. When interviewed by a witness at the police station, she met Kenji Gangmura, who was also a witness. The men's shoes under her feet were provided by the police because she couldn't put on her own shoes even after bandaging her bare feet.

For their claims, the police must not believe it at most because they understand that someone pretends to be a ghost to commit such a terrible murder. Of course she understands that this Japanese can also understand that only Sister Wang has been chattering and trying to prove her statement.

But she was really curious and angry about this case because this murder method was not only brutal but also abnormal! Such a murderer, whether he is a man or a ghost, can't be easily let go!

But she had decided not to disturb Ruan Zhan anymore, so she only told him about the course of the matter, and didn't tell him the true thoughts in her heart. She wanted to wait for her feet to get better. She asked Sister Wang to see if the first two incidents had anything in common with this one, and then combined them with her own experience to provide the police with the hope that an expert could return the dead as soon as possible.

Ruan Zhan listened quietly and didn't express any opinions, but he asked carefully when talking about the Japanese, including his entire actions, words, and behaviors.

"He helped me anyway, but I don't like him." Xiaoxia said dullly and did not look like Ruan Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. "I heard that most Japanese men are polite and shy on the surface, but he is too shy to see people. It took a peek at it as if to calculate something."

"Just stay away from him." Ruan Zhan said lightly.

In fact, he has some doubts about Kenji Okamura. It's not just his look, but his breath is mainly his feelings. When they returned to the hotel, he knew that Xiaoxia was very scared. Although there was a policeman walking around the house, she was messing with her things when she was packing her things. She wanted to leave quickly and trembled at everything, as if she was afraid of taking something unclean. .

And when he pretended to observe the surrounding environment and took a peek at the Japanese, he found that although he had no obvious reaction, the movements of his hands sped up, as if he felt that someone was watching him. Of course, that person was not a policeman.

He knew that his ability to hide his breath was impossible for ordinary people without spiritual power or Taoism to be revealed. It's weird that the Japanese obviously shows him but pretends.

The most important thing is that even though Kenji Gangmura hastened his actions, Ruan Zhan still saw a red lacquer wooden box he put in his suitcase carefully~www.readwn.com~The lacquer box is quite delicate and beautiful with intricately carved flowers. A perfect craft. However, it is very mysterious to be locked by an equally delicate lock on this handicraft.

And even though the exquisite lacquerware only flashed past, Ruan Zhan still felt that there was something hidden behind the flower that looked like a spell. He doesn't know Japanese and can't be sure that he just feels that way.

The police inspection cannot explain the problem. If he has Dao skills, he can easily get through with blindfolds. But what is that lacquerware used for? what is inside? Who is this Japanese? Why does he appear here?

Why did the ghost attack the hotel? Why is there no ghost in the hotel?

These puzzled questions were entangled in Ruan Zhan's mind.

At the same time, Kenji Gangmura played with the red lacquer box in the hotel where they had stayed temporarily.

"I will fulfill your wish! Don't worry, don't worry! But you also have to fulfill my wish." He sang softly.

In the box, there was a tapping sound of ‘dong dong dong’ as the answer.
