In Xiaoru's white eyeballs, no pupils could be seen, and her delicate and fair face had turned into the bluish-purple color of a dead person.
With bright red fluid streaming from her eyes, her messy black hair covering the sides of her cheeks, she didn't seem to expect that anyone would know her name.
An Xuan looked at me in surprise, with a shocked expression on his face.
He may not know why I knew the girl's name during her lifetime, but I don't have time to explain it to him in detail now.
"Xiao Ru, I know what happened to you, and I'm sorry."
I don't know if this counts as cheating? I chose to use this method, and I even began to think that doing so could influence her.
An Ning has fallen, and the ceremony can be regarded as destroyed, and it cannot continue.
If I don't do something else, if An Xuan uses that black talisman that can destroy souls, everything will be irreversible.
But how could things be resolved so easily
Sure enough, as I expected, Xiao Ru was like a child abandoned by the world, crying there: "So what, you guys are going to kill me!"
"Same as those nasty guys!"
Of course I knew who the "bad guy" she was talking about was. After reading the memory flashbacks of her life, those children who used her as a shield and doormat, my heart hurts again.
What Xiao Ru said was very angry, very angry, even very sad. She was like a normal child, her words were very naive, unlike some adult wraiths, who could feel their tears of blood in every word.
All the resentment, under her very simple and naive expression, lost some momentum, but made me feel even more distressed.
Xiaoru hadn't even started her life yet, not to mention being ostracized in the orphanage, and was beaten to death by Dean Xu, who had a tendency to abuse children.
This phenomenon is definitely not the only one. I believe that there will always be some orphanages all over the world. Under the false pretense of adopting and giving orphans a warm home, they are doing something shameful and outrageous. atrocities.
"I've had enough, Xiaoru has had enough, I want to go home, I want Mom and Dad, woo woo woo."
The black aura surged up again, and the girl who admired Anxuan was thrown to the ground by this black aura, and another piece of yellow paper cracked in two with a "crack", and burned.
An Xuan's face instantly turned pale, and he looked at the girl worriedly, and then gave me a hard look.
"Don't come in your way, get out!"
But I completely turned a deaf ear and walked in Xiaoru's direction.
This move caused An Xuan's eyes to narrow suddenly, and his tone was filled with irresistible momentum and anger: "Get out! Don't get close to her!"
I didn't know what was wrong with me, I moved my body honestly towards the struggling figure, and slowly approached her.
"Xiao Ru, don't be afraid, you are not alone, you still have me, and I am here."
I opened my hands and walked towards her.
I know what she wants, what she longs for, her wish is very simple, and now I can only use this to let her let go of her obsession with her life.
In order to escape the possibility of the soul being wiped out.
An Xuan was very anxious now, he shouted: "Are you crazy! Rong Hua!"
"I know that you suffered a lot of grievances during your lifetime. That bad uncle always beat and scolded you, and those children also rejected you."
When Xiaoru heard my voice, she stopped crying instantly, raised her head in disbelief, and looked at me.
The little hands were covered with tears like blood.
As I got closer and closer to her, the familiar feeling of nausea struck again, constantly stimulating my brain nerves.
The red jade bracelet was also constantly flashing, I suddenly stopped, and decisively took off the red jade bracelet from my wrist, and put it on the table beside me.
Enduring the nausea that was about to burst out, I stepped into the formation, and in two steps came to the crying girl kneeling on the ground, and slowly squatted down, hugging her.
This is my first time embracing a spirit body.
In the past, I always thought that the soul of a person cannot be touched, but today, I felt the touch of a soul for the first time.
So lonely, so sad.
All the emotions of the soul, through her soul, passed into my body, my heart.
I can even feel Xiaoru's trembling body, her broken heart, and her resentment towards all the tragedies and injustices in her life.
I just held her, regardless of whether she struggled or not, I pressed her head into my arms.
I am an only child, and I don't have any brothers or sisters. I have a few distant relatives, but many of them moved out of the small mountain village with my family when I was very young, and went to live in different cities.
Gradually, they became estranged and even lost contact.
So I don't know how to comfort a little girl at all. All I can do at this moment is to hug her and give her a sense of security.
Since she didn't get the affection she deserved before, I will make it up to her now.
Although, I knew that the death energy in her body would affect my little one, but I still chose to take off the red jade bracelet to prevent her from being rejected by the jade bracelet's ability.
That way I can get close to her.
"Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you anymore, I am here now, and I will protect you."
Xiaoru's eyes widened, and the two hands placed by her sides were raised in the air, as if hesitating whether to hug me back.
"Really... will you really protect me? Don't let Dean Xu beat me, okay, I will never wet the bed in the future."
Her words successfully made my tears flow, I nodded solemnly, and said with a sob: "Well, Dean Xu will never hit you again, I promise, I swear."
After I finished saying this, Xiao Ru hugged my waist with both hands, and the black energy on her body began to disappear miraculously.
“So warm…”
She said in a soft voice, and then she added: "It's the same as Aunt Mao's hug."
I stroked her hair with my hand, lowered my head slightly, and said softly, "I will protect you with Aunt Mao from now on."
"Xiao Ru, you have to believe that there are still people who love you in this world."
I patted her on the back pityingly, and noticed that the blackness on her body was gradually disappearing, and the color of her skin was also gradually fading away from the purple black at the beginning.
What Xiaoru wants is so simple, maybe she just wants a comfort, a hug, maybe she can let go, and she won't have such a big resentment.
She would not use her ability to force Ye Yao's mother and grandma to accompany her after death.
The age of Ye Yao's mother is actually similar to that of Aunt Mao, which may be the reason why they were selected by Xiaoru.
The room was suddenly quiet, and I hugged Xiaoru all the time, quietly waiting for the black air on her body to disappear and her soul to become transparent.
But at this moment, the room is already a mess, and the black hair that originally covered the entire room is rapidly shortening.
The floral clothes that were originally stained red by blood were also returning to their original color, and Xiao Ru's soul began to slowly turn transparent. After a while, her figure completely disappeared.
There is nothing in my arms.
Suddenly, I felt a pair of weak hands embrace me from behind me, and a soft voice came.
"Thank you, sister."
The ethereal voice gradually disappeared along with the invisible hands.
I wiped my tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Ru, I wish you a happy life in the future." "En..." She answered, so softly that I could barely hear her voice.
The surrounding area quickly returned to its original tranquility.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses.
Looking at the originally delicate ceramic doll in front of him, it has broken into flakes at this moment. The red floral cloth was also torn into pieces by an unknown force.
I lowered my head, picked up the debris and rags on the ground with my fingers, grabbed them in my hands, and got up.
The moment I turned around, the three of An Xuan all looked at me in surprise, with expressions of disbelief.
Although Ye Yao couldn't see Xiaoru, she should know something from my behavior.
In the end, Ye Yao helped her grandma to her bedroom to rest, and then together with the little girl carried Ye Yao's mother who had passed out to another room.
The little girl from An's family went to take care of An Ning, she is not here.
Anxuan and I were packing things in the room.
There are formations drawn on the ground and so on, so they should be cleaned up anyway.
I put on the jade bracelet again and helped to clean the floor. The two people beside me were doing their own work quietly. Suddenly, An Xuan asked me, "Why do you know about her condition?"
Another junior from the An family also stopped and looked at me curiously.
I knew what he wanted to ask, so I stood up, bent over and rubbed a towel in the basin beside me.
"This can be said to be my ability."
I washed the towel, squatted back down again, and said slowly: "Your An family can exorcise ghosts through rituals, that is the ability passed down from the An family's ancestors."
"And me." I looked at them, and when my eyes met An Xuan's, I noticed that his eyes were a bit complicated.
"I was able to go back to their memories and learn what happened to them and what caused them to become ghosts after death."
After hearing what I said, both of them showed surprised expressions.
I looked at them calmly, and then went back to mopping the floor.
An Xuan was silent for a while, before holding back a word.
"You mean, you can enter their memories when they were alive?"
"kindness."
I nodded and said honestly, "If you say that you forcefully dispel their resentment and send them to the underworld, I will find the root of their resentment and solve it from the root."
The boy who hadn't spoken much all this time spoke submissively: "Then can't you change their past?"
I turned my head to look at him, and hooked my lips helplessly: "It would be great if it could be done like this."
"I can only be like a bystander, I can only watch, I can't get involved, I can't change, because that is against the common sense of the world."
An Xuan kept looking at me, with flickering lights in his eyes.
He knows that this kind of problem of finding the root solution is indeed more effective than their forced exorcism with rituals.
However, An Xuan also understands that the person who undertakes this job needs a very strong heart.
Those who become evil spirits have not suffered some extremely tragic things during their lifetime, which makes them reluctant to die for a long time, and even abandons themselves, making their souls willing to degenerate into evil spirits.
It's good to let others recall those tragic events once or twice. Over time, people who often use this ability will definitely bear more than enough psychological pressure.
He sighed. When he was traveling, a very powerful exorcist abroad told him.
If a person is very capable and powerful, he must have lost a lot.
Only the more you lose, the more you gain, and what you lose, you gain.
He understood the meaning of this sentence.
