The Exorcist

what to do? she does not know! He could only rub back slowly, trying not to make any noise. One step, two steps, three steps, she was about to exit the yard, but she felt something soft suddenly appeared behind her and stopped her waist. The accident made her scream, causing those faceless women to turn their heads to look at her as if they were frightened.

A group of faceless women stared at her, which completely frightened Xiaoxia.

But the thing that stopped her didn't give her any time to be stunned, and threw her onto the stone bench with a huge force. In a panic, Xiaoxia turned around and saw a one-armed little scarecrow with one hand raised horizontally, a huge mouth, two eyes made of stones, a dull and malicious expression, and the other one was torn off. The arms were thrown to the ground.

He stood blankly next to the courtyard gate. He didn't know when he appeared, but he happened to stop Xiaoxia. It was the little boy.

Xiaoxia tried to stand up as if she was being burned by fire, but found that she was firmly stuck to the stone bench. She struggled desperately, but to no avail, while the women still turned their heads to look at her curiously.

"Next." A man's voice suddenly appeared.

This made Xiaoxia even more frightened. She didn't know how many weird things were waiting for her! She looked around, but saw no sound.

After hearing the words, a woman stood up obediently and walked slowly towards the stone mill. Then she jumped and somehow landed on the round hole in the middle of the millstone, and immediately disappeared into it. Finally, her head that was submerged in it nodded at Xiaoxia.

The little donkey started walking again, and the sound of grinding stones continued. At this time, Xiaoxia couldn't think at all and could only watch all this helplessly. Gradually, she suddenly felt that the sound was like the sound of chewing broken bones and a moan of pain.

She felt horrified as she watched these faceless women mechanically throw themselves into the stone mill one by one, as if they were automatically walking into the monster's mouth, while the water tank around the stone mill was slowly filled with thick and fishy blood, which made her feel uncomfortable. She almost vomited!

"You're the only one left!" The man's voice sounded again.

Xiaoxia sat upright in horror, looking around, and suddenly found that the sound came from the little donkey.

"I'm calling you!" the little donkey said again. It stuck its head into the blood tank, sucked a mouthful of blood, and when it raised its face, it transformed into the body of a donkey, but with the face of a man!

Fair, slightly fat, and pretty, but with evil intentions!

"Come on, no one will come to save you!" He nodded to her, and she immediately felt a strong suction dragging her towards the millstone. She wanted to grab the stone bench, but the force that had held her turned into a push, causing her to be thrown onto the millstone.

From the outside, this was just an ordinary stone mill, but only when sitting on it did I see that it was a huge deep hole with countless women's hands floating on it. At this time, they all came to grab Xiaoxia's hands and feet. She wanted to struggle, but suddenly felt powerless. She could only be pulled, and she was about to be swallowed up.

In despair, she finally shouted: "Ruan Zhan, save me!"

"It seems you are not that important to him!" The human-faced donkey sneered.

But before he finished speaking, a man ran out from the black building opposite.

"The way of heaven is completed, thirty-five percent, the sun and the moon are together, come out of the graceful and graceful, enter the underworld, the Qi preaches, the Qi connects the gods, the Qi moves evil spirits, ghosts and thieves will all perish!" The visitor read loudly, and then pointed with his hand.

Suddenly, a red light formed a vortex of wind that spun rapidly, and the huge centrifugal force threw all the objects out, including Shimo, Heilou, Scarecrow, and Xiaoxia.

"Ruan Zhan!" Xiaoxia shouted the man's name and wanted to reach out to catch him, but she couldn't get close at all. Seeing that she was getting further and further away from him, she suddenly woke up.

She lay on the bed covered in cold sweat, even more freezing in the cold night. Is it a dream? She hesitated and turned on the bedside lamp. Under the warm yellow light, she could see that her wrists and ankles were covered with scratches and bruises, as well as the abrasions on her palms, and she felt real pain throughout her body.

It's not a dream, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible for even the physical body to be harmed. But why was she back in bed? !

It’s okay to not be able to distinguish between dreams and reality, but what about Ruan Zhan? Why would he appear but she couldn't catch him? She thought this, thinking about the concerned look he looked at her just now, and thinking that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch his hand, tears welled up in her eyes.

It's just a dream after all, right?

The piano sounded.

It was very beautiful, but because it was late at night, it seemed particularly abrupt! Xiao Xia, who had not fully recovered from the shock, jumped up from the bed in shock and stared blankly at the mobile phone on the bedside.

She forgot to turn off her phone again. Who could call her? Why doesn't Wan Li, who is sleeping in the warehouse next door, wake up? Should I call him? She hesitated, but the person on the other end of the phone seemed to insist on her answering the phone before he would give up. The piano kept ringing.

She made up her mind, grabbed the phone, and looked at the screen. It was an unfamiliar number from out of town.

"Who is it?" she asked nervously.

"It's me, Ruan Zhan." A calm voice came.

Tears burst into Xiaoxia's eyes.

He was real in her life! Not a dream. He appears! finally!

"Are you crying?" he asked.

"No!" Xiaoxia casually wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "I just have a cold."

"Okay, then go back to bed quickly," he said softly.

This confused Xiaoxia for a moment. He had never treated her so well, and how did he know what she was doing?

"I just woke up from that nightmare, and I answered the phone in the middle of the night. You must have jumped out of bed." As if he knew Xiaoxia's thoughts, Ruan Zhan took the initiative to explain, "You will catch a cold. Go to bed and sit down, and listen to me. Tell you slowly."

Xiaoxia went back to bed obediently and covered herself with quilt. Listening to his voice and knowing that he was on the other end of the phone, she felt completely safe and let out a choked breath.

"You must not understand why you have such a real nightmare, and why I appear, right?" he said.

"Um."

"This is not actually a real dream, but someone casts a spell to make your soul leave the body and enter the illusion world he created. So the injuries you suffered in the dream will also be reflected in the physical body in reality. You - Are you okay?"

"No." Xiaoxia shook her head, "But how did you know about that dream and still enter it?"

Ruan Zhan hesitated for a moment, "This is a very high-end technique, but it is a taboo technique because it damages the moral character. I don't know who you have offended, but this is not a simple person. And the reason why I I can enter it because I am very sensitive to this kind of magic. I can feel it even though I am thousands of miles away. I just want to save people, but I didn’t know it was you at first.”

When Xiaoxia heard what he said, she felt a little disappointed in her heart.

She didn't know that Ruan Zhan left this city to avoid her, but he was extremely unsuccessful. He entered this dream because of his strong telepathy with her, and he lied to avoid deeper entanglements.

"Are you living at my place now?" Ruan Zhan changed the subject.

"Um."

"Someone must have tampered with it there, and it's no longer safe. Do you have the Bloodwood Sword in your hand?"

"Here." Xiaoxia stroked the wooden sword beside her pillow.

"Then just stay there with your sword and don't move anymore, until daybreak."

"Okay." Xiaoxia agreed, "Will you come back?"

"meeting."

"when?"

"It will be there by dinner time tomorrow at the latest."

"Not lying?"

"No lie!"

"you promise?"

"I promise!"

Hearing his answer, Xiaoxia felt completely at ease.
