Qu Mo was still gasping for air and couldn't speak at all, but she nodded. There was something strange about her, making it hard to understand.
I let her go and didn't ask any more questions. I looked at the girl carefully again. She had her eyes tightly closed and her face was pale without any blood. There was a thick black gas gathered in her forehead. She looked no different from a dead body. Fortunately, she was still breathing, but it was very weak. I saw a talisman on her chest. It must have been done by Qu Mo. I guess if it weren't for this talisman, the girl would probably be dead.
I was going to give Shen Bing and Wang Zijun some magic water to wake them up, but then I thought, Qu Mo sneaked out in the middle of the night, and I don't know what evil magic he used, so he must have some secrets that he can't tell Shen Bing and Wang Zijun. I'd better let them be stupid for a while, and I'll tell them after I interrogate them.
After Qu Mo recovered her breath, I asked her the same question again. Qu Mo bit her lip for a long time without saying anything. It seemed that she really had a secret that she couldn't tell anyone.
I couldn't force her to do anything if she didn't say anything. Besides, she was doing good things and didn't use her evil magic to do evil, which was acceptable. I said, "Let's go. There's a hotel over there. Don't let your bodies get frozen." I took out two cleansing talismans and was about to chant a spell to burn them to help Shen Bing and Wang Zijun regain consciousness.
"Master Xi, I will tell you the truth. Can you promise me not to tell anyone?" Qu Mo finally spoke.
I looked at her complicated expression, nodded and said, "Go ahead, Wang Zijun, I won't tell him either."
She lowered her head again, as if she was organizing her thoughts. After a while, she looked up and said, "I was a normal child before I was thirteen. But when I was thirteen, I participated in the school summer camp and went to the wild activities. One night, I was sleeping and suddenly heard the cry of an animal outside the tent. Although I was very timid, I thought that it might be a small animal that was injured, and I felt sorry for it, so I plucked up the courage to come out.
"I walked in the direction of the sound for a long time before I saw drops of blood on the ground, and then they disappeared into a bush. I thought there might be an injured animal in there, so I squatted down and pushed aside the bush without thinking much."
She suddenly stopped talking here. I was listening attentively. Wasn't this really a turn-off? I hurriedly asked, "What did you see in the bushes?"
Qu Mo bit his lip and said after a long while, "I don't know. I just saw a flash of white light in front of my eyes and then I fainted immediately. The next day my classmates found me lying outside and slept all night and woke me up. I didn't feel anything when I woke up. After the summer camp ended, on the third night when I returned home, after midnight, I suddenly found that I had grown several big tails on my back..." At this point, Qu Mo lowered his head and kept silent. This kid, how could he learn from TV dramas and stop at the critical moment? It makes me itchy.
But after hearing this, I got a rough idea. She must be possessed by an evil spirit. I won't rush her this time. I'll wait and see if you continue.
Qu Mo lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time. She might have felt that she was a monster because she had several big tails behind her. She was quite self-conscious. After a while, she started talking again. After the tails grew behind her, she felt like a different person. She had infinite strength and could jump three meters high easily. But she was terribly scared. How could she go out to meet people with several tails? Wouldn't they take her to the research institute as a biological specimen for dissection
