In the lounge upstairs of the pet shop, Lu Chu and the others sat down with Zhang Rui. Zhang Rui sat on one side of the square table, the others sat opposite him, and Song Jirui was in the middle.
The occasion was very serious, and everyone's expressions were very serious.
Song Gui took off his sunglasses with one hand, and looked at the woman hiding opposite the five of them with a serious face: "How did you become like this?"
This has already involved housework, and everyone else abides by the basic rule of a bystander and does not make any sound.
Zhang Rui seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether to speak, she looked at Lu Chu and the others, and pursed her lips.
Song Gui leaned back, leaned on the sofa, and said to Zhang Rui: "Is there anything I can't say about what I did, just tell me, only they can solve the supernatural events that happened to you."
Hearing the words "spiritual event", Zhang Rui was shocked and looked at Lu Chu and the others.
Although she looks much more haggard and older than ordinary people, others only think that she is so tired because her life is not going well, and they don't think about other aspects. She obviously never mentioned anything about herself, let alone anything beyond the scope of science. Why can these people say the word "supernatural" so easily.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rui seemed to have grasped at a straw, and said, "I..."
As soon as Zhang Rui opened her mouth, Song Gui interrupted her: "I remember, you are only twenty-three years old."
It turned out that she was so young, but she had just graduated from university, but due to the influence of the baby spirit, in the eyes of outsiders, she should have looked like thirty.
"How old were you when you left with him?"
"twenty one… "
"It's been two years, how do you feel about yourself?"
Song Gui imitated Luo Qi's appearance when she satirized people, "tsk tsk", looked at Zhang Rui and said, "Leaving home at the age of 21 and going out for two years, how do you feel?"
After he finished speaking, Luo Qi kicked him hard under the table.
Hearing this, Zhang Rui was speechless, her eyes were red, and after a while she said in a hoarse voice, "Cousin, I was wrong, I shouldn't have run away from home..."
Yuan Kejie finally couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice, "Are you running away from home?"
Song Gui tilted his head and said to Yuan Kejie, "Ask her the reason yourself. If she wants to live, she will definitely tell you."
Hearing the words "want to live", Zhang Rui bit her lip, ready to show off: "I...I..."
"It's still me, the thing is like this." Song Gui said, interrupting her words cleanly, but did not continue.
Now, Lu Chu and the others could see that Song Gui had repeatedly interrupted Zhang Rui's words on purpose. It could be seen that he didn't like his "cousin" very much.
He was not in a hurry, but the listeners were scratching their heads. Yuan Kejie kicked Song Gui, and urged in a low voice: "So tell me what it is, tell me quickly, the beginning of your words is the most itchy, is it because you want to die in a hurry? Who… "
Song Gui curled his lips into a chuckle: "The reason is very simple, because I pursue true love."
Regardless of the dissuasion of his parents, relatives and friends, he insisted on going his own way and fled with the money.
Commonly known as - elope.
Although Zhang Rui and Song Gui are cousins, their relationship is not good.
Their families are all well-off, and they often met each other when they were young.
Zhang Rui has been spoiled since she was a child, and she can get whatever she wants, almost to the point of being pampered and domineering, and she always wears the distinctive and noble appearance of Miss Qianjin outside. It's okay if it's just like this, she can bear it, but she is too selfish and self-centered, as if the whole world should revolve around her, when she is happy, everyone should be happy, and when she is unhappy , the whole world is wrong.
And Song Gui just doesn't like her, he thinks she is too ignorant, she is no longer a child, what to do is up to him, he doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, he is selfish to the point of selfishness in his bones.
Song Gui looked down on her. Knowing that her parents questioned her boyfriend's character and comforted her more, she felt that her parents disliked him because he had no money, so she took the family's bank card and a lot of valuables, and then After eloping with the man and putting his parents in the hospital, it became even more intense.
When she ran away from home at first, they found her and told her that your parents were so angry that they were hospitalized because of this incident. In fact, they didn't mean to completely stop their feelings for you from the beginning, they just thought that you were still young , cannot be qualitative, and may not know each other that well. Go home and have a look, they are willing to accept Wang Deyuan.
At that time, Zhang Rui only raised her voice when she heard the words: "Listen, listen to your reluctant tone, why, is it so wronged and reluctant to let them accept Deyuan? And I have a clear vision, and I am not young. Now, life-long affairs can be decided by yourself, you don’t need to worry about it so much. Tell them, even if they are hospitalized and willing to accept it, I will not go back, because my love with Deyuan can’t bear this grievance!”
After she finished speaking, she turned and left without looking at her parents.
At that time, Zhang Rui was twenty-one years old.
I have had my ID card for several years, but I still act like a fool, and ran away after being coaxed a few words. I also felt that the parents who spoiled her and loved her were meddling in their own business, and the hospitalization was their own fault.
Later, Zhang Rui's parents were discouraged and never looked for her again, and of course they didn't block the bank card she took away.
Then two years passed.
Knowing the general ins and outs of the matter, Lu Chu asked Zhang Rui: "Do you know what it is to pester yourself?"
When Zhang Rui heard this, her expression became weird: "Yes... it's my child..."
Lu Chu nodded: "You are right, but 'they' have another name, 'Baby Spirit'."
The person in front of him said the word "they" in one sentence, which proved that he knew that there was more than one child who was pestering him. And at the same time, he was able to say names like "Baby Spirit"...
In an instant, Zhang Rui trusted Lu Chu more and more. She looked at him excitedly, her voice trembling in a hoarse voice: "Please... Please help me..."
Lu Chu didn't answer her call for help directly, but asked her instead: "Do you know the circumstances under which the infant spirit was condensed?"
Even after experiencing supernatural events, Zhang Rui still half understood her situation, so she shook her head.
Lu Chu recounted what he had told 7 about the "baby spirit".
Zhang Rui listened, her fingers trembling slightly, and she pursed her lips uncomfortably.
Song Gui frowned: "How many times are you?" referring to the number of miscarriages.
"I...I..." Zhang Rui muttered for a while, before continuing to speak in a low voice, "Twice..."
"Twice." Lu Chu murmured thoughtfully.
Yuan Kejie looked at Lu Chu: "Lu Xiaochu, if you try it now, you can see what's wrong."
By the way, let's try to see how unreasonable the ability I brought out from the "game" is. It's a pity that the boss is not here, otherwise he would definitely have to pretend to be a magic stick together.
In fact, among the few people present, except for Zhang Rui who was bound by the infant spirit, only Lu Chu could really feel the existence of the infant spirit. However, other people are also more or less able to solve this problem. The reason why I say this is because although they no longer have any non-scientific skills, they still have a lot of experience in dealing with such things. Blind typing is also an ability.
Lu Chu and Song Gui switched places and sat opposite Zhang Rui.
Feeling the black air continuously spreading from Zhang Rui's abdomen, he said concisely, "Do as I say."
Zhang Rui nodded.
Lu Chu observed the trajectory of the dark and resentful air for a moment, and then said, "Now, close your eyes and think about your children."
Zhang Rui obediently closed her eyes.
She was terrified and terrified in her heart, subconsciously resisting those images, but images of red flesh and blood still involuntarily appeared in front of her eyes—that was the child who was abandoned before she could become a human form.
The baby spirit, who had been very peaceful during the day, became irritable, and the black air instantly spread to the whole room. Everyone felt a burst of coolness rising from the soles of their feet, and the radish and two black cats who followed Lu Chu came up. Then the eyes are flooded with light, and the animal pupils follow the trajectory of Yin Qi.
Zhang Rui's complexion turned pale with the naked eye, and her head was sweating. Just as she was about to open her eyes and get rid of these horrific images, she heard Lu Chu's gentle voice: "Don't be afraid."
Lu Chu's voice was mellow and clear, as if it contained the ability to soothe people's hearts, reaching directly to the bottom of his heart.
In an instant, Zhang Rui only felt that her whole heart had calmed down. She was still afraid, but felt that she had something to rely on.
"Don't be afraid," Lu Chu repeated softly, "It's nothing, it's just a test."
When Zhang Rui calmed down, Lu Chu stretched out his hand and placed the void in front of her, trying to resonate with the baby spirit.
The thick black air invisible to ordinary people wrapped itself around Lu Chu's fingertips like strands of hair, and slowly gathered into a ball.
Carrot let out a low growl in his throat.
The two black cats lightly jumped onto the table, raised their paws, slapped away the cloud of yin, and meowed strangely twice.
They are helping Lu Chu establish synaesthesia.
The next moment, intense crying sounded in his ears, and strong emotions of unwillingness, resentment, and pain rushed to Lu Chu's brain.
Lu Chu closed his eyes, and there were only two colors in front of his eyes.
Hot and flowing red, and icy thick black.
In the interweaving of the surging blood red and black, Lu Chu saw a child, the child's black eyes were clear, he just glanced sideways at him, then quickly ran away and disappeared. After that, three identical children appeared in the place where the children had been. They couldn't tell the gender, but their eyes were blood-red and bloody, without whites. They looked straight at Lu Chu and smiled with the corners of their mouths pulled. ferocious.
All of a sudden, Lu Chu felt a tingling pain in his temple, he immediately cut off the connection, his whole body trembled, and a little sweat broke out on his forehead.
After a while, Lu Chu opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Rui: "It's the third child."
Hearing these words, Zhang Rui could no longer control herself and burst into tears.
Yuan Kejie was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Lu Chu glanced at Zhang Rui, who was crying bitterly, with a serious face: "The second aborted child is triplets."
Those few children have not had time to appear in this world in the future, so there is no so-called concept of right and wrong, kindness and evil. They only know that they have been abandoned, and the process of giving up is full of pain and suffering, blood and flesh pulling, and the pain is too painful.
So they were unwilling and resentful, and then turned into infant spirits, unwilling to leave.
Zhang Rui cried and mourned, Yingling exhausted her strength, and crying like this again, she was a little out of breath, and almost passed out.
Lu Chu handed her some toilet paper and a glass of warm water: "Calm down."
Song Gui turned to look at Zhang Rui: "What's going on, he doesn't want these children?"
After a long pause, Zhang Rui opened her mouth and slowly told the story of her and Wang Deyuan—
Zhang Rui met Wang Deyuan when she was seventeen years old. At that time, she was only a student at school. Wang Deyuan was five years older than her and had dropped out of school early. Zhang Rui was in her third year of high school at the time, and she had a blind and irrational longing for the so-called "society" and "love". In addition, Wang Deyuan was also good, in line with the image of the rebellious and disrespectful male protagonist in her heart, so the two of them were like this Slowly cooked. At that time, she often took sick leave from the school without telling her parents. Wang Deyuan would ride his modified motorcycle, drive her galloping on the streets, and take her to bars and nightclubs, enjoying the decadence.
At that time, Zhang Rui thought that this was youth, she didn't need parents and friends, she enjoyed publicity and wantonness, a proud princess lived a unique life with her knight.
When she went to university, Zhang Rui was still in the city where she was in high school, and the two still formally dated in the same city.
At that time, Zhang Rui felt with all her heart and eyes that she was the princess who fell in love with the knight in the story. They would get rid of all obstacles and those who tried to break them up, and move towards a happy ending.
The fact is that they did encounter many obstacles, and Zhang Rui broke through all the obstacles regardless.
They eloped and ended up getting married, exactly as the story says.
But the reality told her that after the protagonist of the story got married, they did not live happily together forever.
The beginning of the story can be regarded as a typical story of a rich daughter and a poor boy, but later on, the poor boy neither worked hard nor motivated. The money is spent everywhere.
After about half a year of marriage, Wang Deyuan began to cheat and have affairs, and she was pregnant with her first child during that time because of an accident.
After the child was lost, Wang Deyuan treated her well for a while, but soon returned to his old ways.
They quarreled, even fought, to no avail.
Later, Zhang Rui became pregnant again, and Xiaosan quarreled at the door. Wang Deyuan also rushed over when he heard about it. During that quarrel, Wang Deyuan's lover pushed her, and she fell to the ground, losing her child again.
When she was pushed into the hospital, she was told that this baby was triplets.
The doctor shook his head behind her back and sighed softly, what a pity.
Zhang Rui was in pain, and Wang Deyuan moved out with his lover and never returned home.
Since then, she has been haunted by infant spirits.
After Zhang Rui finished speaking, everyone was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Lu Chu said, "You lied."
Zhang Rui panicked and stood up: "I, I didn't!"
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it," Lu Chudao said, "If it's true as you said, the two pregnancies were aborted because of quarreling with Wang Deyuan, then in Yingling's crying, grief should be greater than resentment, but the surrounding The baby spirit beside you obviously has more resentment."
What he didn't say was that the first child was probably really an accident, so although he also became an infant spirit because of the third child, his eyes were still clear, and the triplets were obviously resentful. with.
Song Gui looked at Zhang Rui: "Tell the truth. Otherwise, I won't help you this time. As early as when you broke up with this family, I didn't have the position and need to help you."
Hearing this, Zhang Rui's eyes were empty, she fell down on the chair, and after a moment of emptiness, she said, "I aborted the second child on purpose."
Lu Chu had thought that this was the case, and kept silent, listening to her next words.
With a hoarse voice, Zhang Rui said slowly: "Because he had a regular lover at that time, he looked very good, and he didn't want me anymore. So when I knew I was pregnant again, I deliberately took some abortion pills , ran over, trying to pretend she had a miscarriage due to being hit by her... "
Speaking of this, Zhang Rui's face suddenly became ferocious and crazy: "I love him, I want to save him! But he doesn't even look at me, he doesn't want our child, I'm bleeding, he is willing to sign for me , he..." As she spoke, her ferocious expression became painful again, "I've calculated it! I've clearly calculated the amount, and my child will never be lost! I didn't know it was triplets Ah, I don't know... Why? Why? It must be that bitch, it must be that bitch! My child... "
"Okay," Song Gui interrupted her, "We probably know what's going on, so you don't need to talk about the rest of the emotion, it won't help to solve the matter."
It can't be blamed that Song Gui doesn't know how to be sympathetic to others, but Zhang Rui has too many problems.
If you make a certain choice by yourself, do not listen to the dissuasion of those you care about, and insist on moving forward, then when there is a problem, no one will be responsible for you except yourself.
Lu Chu has always believed that there is nothing wrong with people pursuing true love, but whether you are pursuing it blindly, whether you are ignoring all the family members around you who care about you, and whether the person you choose to spend your life with is worth everything you have to pay for it. Questions to think about.
And for the so-called true love, what can you get if you use the child as a bargaining chip
Lu Chu would like to believe that when Zhang Rui cried bitterly, she must have regretted it at some point, but her original intention was wrong, so she didn't deserve to be sympathized with.
After calming down, Zhang Rui wiped away her tears: "You... can you help me get back to normal now?"
Lu Chu shook his head: "Infant Spirit's Taoism is not deep enough, and I can't show up at this time, which will make it difficult for me to grasp the original body of 'them'. Moreover, we are not in the right place now."
"Then... shall we wait until night?"
"Well, at night, go to the place where the baby spirit was 'died'."
The so-called "death" refers to the location of the miscarriage, and this location is Zhang Rui's home—according to her description, she was pregnant twice, and the children were aborted at home for various reasons.
Lu Chu thought for a while and asked, "Where is the father of the child now?"
"I don't know," Zhang Rui shook her head, with tears still on her face, "I've only seen him once in the past two months, and it was me... the time I intentionally had an abortion."
Hearing this, Lu Chu looked at her: "Then how do you want to deal with this matter?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Rui was very puzzled.
"There are generally two ways to solve ghosts. One is the fastest way to solve your current problem, which is to find them directly and then destroy them. As long as you cooperate with us, it may only take a short while. You will never see the children who pester you again."
"Another way is to save people. Let them get rid of the resentment in their hearts, so that they can reincarnate properly," Lu Chu explained in detail, "But this method has some disadvantages. First, it takes longer. The second is that in this process, you always have to face 'them', after all 'they' are attached to you."
Zhang Rui's face was pale when he heard this, and he was in a daze for a moment.
Lu Chu was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for her answer.
Finally, Zhang Rui's eyes were empty and gray, and she murmured: "Can...can you use the fastest method..."
Hearing this, Song Gui stood up and looked at Lu Chu: "In this case, we choose to save the infant spirit."
Hearing this decision, Zhang Rui screamed and stood up: "Cousin!"
Lu Chu made a silent gesture to her, and smiled to indicate that there were people outside, please keep your voice down.
"We don't care if you don't choose to save yourself because you are afraid of ghosts, because you are afraid to face what you have done, or because you are too guilty to face your child," Luo Qi shook her feet, her face cold Looking at Zhang Rui, "Just one thing, you need to figure it out—whether you want to live or not is your decision; and how to deal with the baby spirit is up to us."
