Luo Mingjie's expression didn't know whether it was shock, fear or trepidation. He looked at Li Hongying's face cautiously, and then asked Jiang Xiaoli in a low voice: "Then, your big boss... shouldn't hate straight men very much, right? ?”
"...I don't know." Jiang Xiaoli felt a little funny, but thinking that Li Hongyi is a ghost in red, other players would be worried...isn't it normal? "Why don't you and your friend pass the game together?"
This game should be able to team up, right
"He has a boyfriend. Although his boyfriend doesn't know about the game, he can't come to me. The time of the game is not regular. If he lives in my house or I go over, it's nothing Ah." Luo Mingjie shook his head, but his friend... used to be a very weak guy, but now he started working out for the game. It can be regarded as using all the skills to pass the level.
After breakfast, Luo Mingjie left. Jiang Xiaoli felt that this guy should be both curious and afraid of Li Hongying. She thought that Luo Mingjie would want to form a team with her or want to know some rumor information, but this guy didn't mention anything, just chatted with her for a while, even thought about his friend, and left.
Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying sat outside the cafeteria for a while waiting for the bell to ring for class. It turned out that one of the five members of the Spirit Club was missing. They walked into the cafeteria together, and the atmosphere was very dull. Wang Jia and Sun Yunru were fine. Although their faces were not very good-looking and they had dark circles under their eyes, they were still alive. As for the rest of the NPCs, Jiang Xiaoli only saw one.
"You go to the classroom later, and I will follow you." Li Hongying said, "Those ghosts may be afraid of me."
The love letter ghost is not a love letter either, that guy is daring and fast, so he is not very afraid of Li Hongying. There is also a little Wu... who doesn't even have a mind, both the soul and the body are in a daze, and naturally they don't know what fear is. —Other ghosts? All of them took advantage of Li Hongying's absence to lure people into the conspiracy alone. Maybe instinct? But they definitely didn't have a chance to communicate with each other: the speed of the red-clothed locking enchantment was too fast. Otherwise... maybe it would be difficult for Jiang Xiaoli to complete five deceptions.
"Okay! Then last night I didn't encounter the deception because I was with you all the time?" After all, Li Hongying didn't touch her when she was pulled in by the mirror ghost.
"Perhaps." Li Hongying smiled, as if she was a little complacent. —Although Jiang Xiaoli didn't know what to be proud of.
Li Hongying walked a short distance away from Jiang Xiaoli, followed behind her, watched Jiang Xiaoli go up to the fourth floor of the teaching building, and began to look in every class window. back and forth. Standing at the corner of the stairs, she suddenly couldn't figure out whether she liked Jiang Xiaoli's calm and composed appearance, or Jiang Xiaoli's appearance of crying for her father and mother to call her name for help.
— they're all cute.
... The enchantment is opened.
Li Hongying began to sense Jiang Xiaoli's position, and then groped to the edge of the barrier and began to break through. Bloodshots spread from her feet until they touched the barrier, and then began to attack. When she broke in, the gold characters on Jiang Xiaoli's ghost talisman were shining, and in front of her was a smiling male student ghost.
"Why are you guarding against me? What I'm giving you is true freedom! It's freedom!" the male ghost opened his arms and called out, which reminded Li Hongying of the report. It is said that this guy laughed and climbed down the window.
free? ... Li Hongying recalled her unhappy senior year in high school, but her pressure only came from her classmates, not her homework. Maybe it was because she was very tired, but when Li Hongying thought about the future at that time, she felt that everything was bearable—but she stopped at the age of eighteen after all.
Died and became a ghost. What is freedom
"What you mean by freedom is being trapped in this ghost place?" Li Hongying walked over with a sneer, looking into Jiang Xiaoli's bright eyes, the anger and killing intent that had just risen in her heart dissipated a lot. She thought that maybe being bound with Jiang Xiaoli was the most correct decision she made. Especially... Jiang Xiaoli trusted her more and more.
What a ghost fears most is being forgotten. No one will remember you. If you are lost yourself, you will become a mere killing machine. Then the soul flies away.
"Huh? What's the meaning of the dormitory, classroom, and cafeteria every day? Studying and studying! The only relaxation is physical education? I don't leave the classroom from 7:00 am to 9:30 pm, but I sleep at night. ? Twelve o’clock? Freedom?—I’m just a marionette controlled by the timetable and everyone.” The male ghost seemed to be angry, he was still trembling when Li Hongying came in, but now he seemed to be dazed by anger—ghost I can't always control my emotions so well.
"Oh dear, jump down. Jump from here and you'll be free, you'll get everything! Never mind this fucking life again. Tribulations and setbacks? It will make you stronger? Haha... if it is true If I can be that strong... I won't be like this at all, I have worked hard enough, I have reached the limit-what to fight again, to be honest, jumping down is the real fight again. Wow, you I must have never experienced the feeling of sliding by the sides of the windbed's ears. In fact, it is only a moment. As long as the posture is standard, I can't even feel any pain... Pain..." The male ghost was giving a passionate speech, and he was even so excited. Unable to maintain the illusion of the skin, his face now and then showed that bloody, skull-depressed horror, and maybe there was white slurry? Until he was overwhelmed by Li Hongying's original form, he almost bit off his tongue, and all the thoughts behind him were also broken. Oh, this one, this one in red is also...
"A complete coward." Li Hongying said disdainfully, "It's just an excuse for you to escape. Freedom? Now you are just a pawn in the game of escape. What can you change? What can you do? - Never There is real freedom."
Bloodshots spread and entangled the male ghost classmate's body. He was stunned, his face became more ferocious, blood gushed out from his body, but was completely absorbed by Li Hongying's bloodshots in a blink of an eye, not even a drop of blood fell on the ground. He became more and more angry, and his eyeballs seemed to pop out of their sockets: "I brought them freedom! I was right! Even if you kill me, even—"
He was sluggish and disappeared with a bang.
Jiang Xiaoli's pocket was hot, and she watched the bloodshot dissipate, and suddenly sighed.
Freedom may be an illusory thing, but in fact everyone has it. That ghost forcibly bewitched those who wanted to live to die, and didn't even give others the freedom to choose whether to live or die, yet it still went crazy and said that he brought freedom to those people.
—Ghosts are crazy.
Jiang Xiaoli realized this again.
"He just used his words to confuse you?" Li Hongying asked doubtfully when the barrier dissipated.
"He also wants to throw me down, but he can't touch me for the time being." Jiang Xiaoli shook the three talismans in his hand, shrugged and said, "Thanks to you coming fast enough, I was still hesitating whether to use it again There's one."
Li Hongying smiled, then looked at the classroom when it was back to normal, looked at it for a while, and said in a low voice: "Sometimes I also think, what would happen if I changed the way."
For example, resistance, while alive. Maybe it will make those people worse, maybe it will scare them. ... But at that time, she was too cowardly, and no one stood by her side, and the most "kind" people were just bystanders, and occasionally said with emotion: They have gone too far.
"When I jumped down, I was really escaping. I thought it was a kind of relief. When I just died... I could actually go to reincarnation, but at that time my affairs began to be known and discussed. So I had Enough energy can stay, and at the beginning my resentment was actually aimed at myself." But those times that happened later, those slander and accusations, those reversed black and white and cleared the relationship, and those justice trials that left the meeting made her feel sad. The soul is blackened step by step, from a clean ghost who can go on the road of reincarnation to bloody, until it becomes a real red-clothed ghost. She began to crave flesh and blood, to kill, first for revenge, then for revenge.
There are too few clean and harmless ghosts, and Li Hongying can't think of any place to nourish a pure soul. —Maybe after Jiang Xiaoli's death, his soul will be clean? But she will not let Jiang Xiaoli have the chance to become a ghost, if Jiang Xiaoli dies, she can only die in her hands, and she will swallow Jiang Xiaoli's body and soul together.
"Are you restraining...instinct right now?"
"Maybe it's because I live in your heart. I seem to be able to restrain myself better than before at school." Jiang Xiaoli is peaceful most of the time, and when encountering ghosts, she is also afraid. She doesn't seem to have any evil intentions, but there will be laziness in her life, and even Li Hongying has calmed down. —If Jiang Xiaoli is a murderer, maybe Li Hongying will become a real red-clothed ghost, the kind that can't be controlled and kills wantonly.
Jiang Xiaoli seemed a little happy? Sensing Jiang Xiaoli's emotions, Li Hongying softened her brows and eyes. "Let's go to the library and see who is that lunatic again."
The ghost picture on Luo Mingjie's card is a ghost holding a blood-dripping knife. The guy in the library is probably a murderer
"Li Hongying," Jiang Xiaoli said, "I'm glad you think you're getting better after you're with me."
Li Hongying tilted her head and frowned, and retorted quite seriously: "... It's not getting better. For ghosts, sex is still very important." After the words, Jiang Xiaoli fell silent. Li Hongying sensed that Jiang Xiaoli was angry again.
... Well, Li Hongying thought maybe she should talk less.
So the two went all the way to the library in silence.
The author has something to say: (Jiang Xiaoli got even more angry because of the "Cold War" XD)
