Du Yan knew that Xiao Lang's words were very credible. Since he had nothing to do with Tian Luo, there should be no problem with Tian Luo's call for help.
At this time, Xiao Ba reminded: "Don't forget, Xiao Lang and Tian Luo are both male, and Tian Luo will definitely cover up his mind without knowing Xiao Lang's sexual orientation."
When Du Yan heard the words, he felt that what Xiao Ba said was quite reasonable, so he asked Xiao Lang again: "Tian Luo, has he ever had a girlfriend or pursued a girl or something?"
Although Xiao Lang didn't understand why Du Yan asked this question, he thought about it honestly and gave the answer: "Tian Luo seemed to be quite popular when he was in high school. At the time, some girls in our class liked him, it seems that There was another one who was in a relationship with him. He also consulted me about love affairs when he was in college."
Having said this, Xiao Lang suddenly stopped, and then added: "But I have never been in love, so how can I be someone else's emotional consultant."
Du Yan completely ignored Xiao Lang, who had shown his loyalty, and his mind quickly turned to how to go to Shunping to check on Tian Luo's parents. From Tian Luo's description just now, it seems that the matter is very serious. If it is not resolved, Tian Luo's parents may be at risk for their lives.
Thinking of this, Du Yan said to Xiao Lang directly, "I'm going to Shunping City. The situation over Tian Luo is dangerous. I must go to see what the situation is."
Xiao Lang was a little reluctant: "Are you leaving again? Can I go with you?"
Du Yan refused: "You are at a critical juncture in your refining now. You can't leave. Otherwise, I don't know what accidents will happen. Don't worry, except for the appearance of the Shunping Ghost King in person, I have no problem with protecting myself."
The things Du Yan decides are generally not easy to change, not to mention that the life and death of Tian Luo's parents are related to the degree of the nightmare that will disappear in the future.
In this dream, Xiao Lang was a young man with a very positive outlook. If an innocent person died tragically because of him, he would definitely feel very guilty.
In addition, Tian Luo is still his high school younger brother. If his parents died because of Xiao Lang's ghosts, he would feel even more guilty, and this kind of guilt would lead to the nightmare that could not be completely eliminated. For Du Yan, who pursues perfection, he absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing from happening.
Even without considering the factor of eating dreams, although Du Yan has positioned himself as a villain, that is only relative to Xiao Lang. He couldn't sit by and watch innocent people, so he died tragically without doing anything.
So Du Yan decided to set off immediately to Shunping City to see what happened to Tian Luo's parents.
In the end, Du Yan almost gave up the bottom line, and after agreeing to Xiao Lang a condition, he was able to leave the ancient village. After Du Yan arrived in Shunping City, he saw Tian Luo who had been waiting for a long time at the station.
Tian Luo's face was pale, with two large dark circles under his eyes, looking very frightened. His current appearance fits the image of a child whose parents are haunted by ghosts and are very worried.
As soon as Tian Luo saw Du Yan, he said, "It's really bothering you, I really don't know what to do."
Du Yan nodded and said hello. Tian Luo's home was not too far from the station, so the two decided to walk there and exchange information on the way.
Du Yan and Tian Luo were not too familiar with each other. After the two exchanged a few words, Du Yan went straight to the point.
Du Yan asked: "What happened in the past few days, tell me in detail, don't omit details."
Perhaps it was the events of the past few days that had been making Tian Luo very frightened. Du Yan asked, his face turned pale again, and it took a moment for him to organize the language.
Tian Luo said: "This time, when my parents came back, they didn't look quite right. My mother is a very fashionable person. She usually has to put on make-up and take care of herself before going out, but this time, she didn't know why. They are all disheveled, with no makeup on, they look like a little old lady all day, and they can even walk around the community in pajamas."
Du Yan knew that it was impossible for Tian Luo to be so frightened by this change alone, and he asked again, "And then?"
"In the past two days, she has gotten even worse. She started rummaging through plastic bottles and courier boxes that were thrown away from the sorted trash cans in the community. She brought them home, washed them all and piled them on the balcony, saying she wanted to keep the money for sale." Tian Luo paused, "My dad is also wrong. He is a person who pays great attention to health care. Generally, he won't eat the food overnight, and the food he can't finish will be thrown away on the spot."
"But after coming back this time, I don't know what happened. Some dishes have been left for two or three days, and he has to bring them out and eat them hot. The newly prepared dishes are reluctant to eat, and they have to be left in the refrigerator until the next day. He didn't eat it until he had a meal. He had always said that eating leftovers was very harmful to the body, and he never took a bite of it."
"It's really strange for two people to change their temperament at the same time." Du Yan asked, "According to your description, these habits are usually retained by the elderly who have experienced hardships. Do you have any elders who have passed away? living habit?"
Hearing Du Yan say this, Tian Luo's face showed a sudden realization: "You reminded me like this, but I remembered that when my grandfather was alive, he liked to keep the leftovers until he had to finish them. And my grandma, who liked to pick up some bottles and cans and waste paper shells in the community to sell for money."
Du Yan said: "It seems that the matter may have something to do with your grandparents."
Tian Luoyue said that the more it felt like this: "When I went out this morning, I found that they were sleeping in the second bedroom. The second bedroom was the room where my grandparents lived before they passed away. After they passed, the room was empty. Basically just put something."
He frowned and added: "By the way, my mother even turned out the clothes my grandma left behind to wear them."
Du Yan asked again, "Then have they done anything to hurt you?"
Tian Luo shook his head and said, "That's not true. On the contrary, it turns out that my grandparents love me very much, and the pain is unprincipled. If there is any good food, they will leave it to me to eat, but my parents will be stricter. , but this time they treated me exactly like my grandparents treated me."
Speaking of which, Tian Luo said hesitantly, "If the ghosts on my parents are really my grandparents, can I trouble you not to hurt them?"
Du Yan said: "Our orthodox Tianshi sects all pay attention to a causal cycle, and will not kill ghosts indiscriminately."
Seeing that Tian Luo's expression was relieved, and his face was much better, he asked again, "How long have your grandparents passed away?"
If they had passed away recently, the two old men would linger here and refuse to be reincarnated. Later, because of Tian Luo, he was affected by Xiao Lang's ability, and he was able to get in touch with the people of Yang Shi and possessed Tian Luo's parents.
It might be for this reason, but Tian Luo's answer surprised Du Yan.
"It's been eight years since my grandfather passed away, and then a year later, my grandmother also passed away."
Du Yan was stunned for a moment, if he failed to reincarnate for so long, he would either become a ghost due to resentment or become an unconscious wandering ghost. But now from Tian Luo's description, the spirits attached to his parents were neither savage ghosts nor wandering spirits.
The situation seems to be a bit complicated now, and Du Yan couldn't think of a clue for a while, but fortunately, between the two of them talking, they had almost reached Tian Luo's house.
The community of Tian Luo's family is a new type of community, with small high-rise buildings, people and vehicles are separated, and the residential density is not high.
However, when he stepped into the community, Du Yan felt that something was wrong. The community garden was empty and almost no one could be seen.
Du Yan asked: "Is the occupancy rate in your community not high?"
Tian Luo shook his head and said, "The community is basically full. When I first came back, I felt that something was wrong, but I don't like going out very much, so I thought no one came out that day."
His face turned pale: "Until one night, when I went downstairs to buy something, I found that there were many people in the community, there were really many people. Some seemed like neighbors I had seen before, and some were unfamiliar faces, and then I felt the situation. It's getting worse and worse."
Du Yan first glanced at the community garden, but he didn't find much wrong. It seemed that at least during the day, the community was normal.
As for the situation at night, we can only see the results after nightfall. According to what Tian Luo said, it may be that at night, this community overlaps with the ghost town of Shunping to some extent, which will lead to the occurrence of strange events.
"Let's go to your house first."
Tian Luo nodded and led Du Yan to the building where his house was located.
Tian Luo's house is in the Huaihua Garden of the community. As soon as he entered the elevator, Du Yan's brows furrowed. Different from the situation in the same community, this Huaihua Garden is extremely abnormal.
In easy-to-understand terms, the whole building of Huaihuayuan is full of yin, and it is gloomy everywhere.
While waiting for the elevator, Du Yan asked Tian Luo, "Have you seen your neighbors who live in the same building in the past two days?"
Tian Luo was a little strange: "I have seen it, what's wrong?"
"Then, do these neighbors look wrong?"
Tian Luo recalled carefully for a moment, and said, "After you reminded me like this, I just remembered that I greeted my neighbors these days, but they didn't pay much attention to me... By the way, there is also a big dog next door, which used to be precious. I have to walk at least twice a day. After I came back this time, I didn't see it once."
Thinking of this, Tian Luo shivered again: "I saw her yesterday and asked about the dog. She actually smiled and said that I am just going to walk the dog now? But she was the only one at that time... "
At this moment, the elevator reached the first floor, and the elevator doors opened to both sides. From the elevator, a stiff-faced middle-aged woman stepped out and walked over without squinting.
The moment Tian Luo saw her, he took a step back and covered his mouth. After the two got into the elevator, he whispered to Du Yan, "That person just now is the aunt who keeps dogs as I said. ."
Du Yan also knew that something was wrong with the Huaihuayuan, because behind the middle-aged woman, he saw the phantom wagging his tail.
