Ghost Moon Talk

—As if it was a matter of course, when she was locked on the balcony one time, the mirror actually responded to her.

"Do you want to...get out of this life? 』

The voice rang directly in her mind.

Wang Xiurong stared blankly at her own face reflected in the mirror—the left side of this face was slightly swollen, and there were red marks oozing blood on the neck.

Before that, she dreamed of getting rid of such a life, but when the possibility of this choice was really presented to her, she hesitated.

"I can help you get rid of this life, get rid of these unreasonable abuse and beatings... as long as you are willing, give me your soul. 』

A 12-year-old girl... how can she understand what a soul is.

But even though she didn't understand, she also felt that it must be a very important existence.

She hesitated.

***

The day after the mirror spoke to her.

Her stepmother came to ask her for money again.

Wang Xiurong couldn't get it out - her father had already used her money to buy wine.

You can't gamble without money.

The gambler woman angrily pinched her upper arm with her nails.

"What's the use of raising you!" She screamed and reprimanded with ease, without any guilt for her words and deeds, "You ugly ghost! It's because you are so useless! That bitch left you and ran away of!"

The tears that Wang Xiurong had been holding back all of a sudden fell down.

"You ugly bastard still wants to cry! You still feel wronged, don't you! You ugly bastard! What face do you have to cry for me!" Then he exerted more force on his hands.

Wang Xiurong shook her head vigorously while trying to stop her sobbing.

"Shaking your head? Why are you shaking your head!" the stepmother yelled, "You're an ugly monster! You're useless! Why don't you let me die!"

Then she twisted her collar and shut her out, "I don't have dinner today!"

***

Wang Xiurong sat down with her knees leaning against the wall.

She sobbed, choked, and pulled the mirror from her pocket.

She saw herself in the mirror—her eyes were red and swollen, tears flowed out in strange streaks, snot also flowed down her cheeks and into her mouth, and the hair on both sides was stuck messily with sweat. His face was ugly.

She sobbed and asked, "...Woo, you...can you make me... hiccup, beautiful?"

***

On the night of Wang Xiurong's 13th birthday.

A gas explosion occurred at Wang Xiurong's home.

Her alcoholic father and gambling mother are both dead.

What surprised people was that although Wang Xiurong slept closer to the kitchen, she only survived with half of her face burned.

***

Wang Xiurong, who had half of her face burned, lay in the hospital for more than two months.

After being discharged from the hospital, she finally received the greatly reduced compensation from the insurance company, and then disappeared in this town overnight.

But this is just a little trouble for the child welfare agency who came a little later.

After a random search, they gave up their plan to continue searching and made a judgment that the person was missing.

***

Holding the mirror, Wang Xiurong watched as the scars on her face gradually disappeared and her whole face became more and more beautiful.

She stretched out her hand to touch the strange face, and murmured expectantly: "Rongrong has become more beautiful..."

"...Mom, will you come back?"

The author has something to say: The fourth night is OVER!

The fifth night · man-made disaster

There are several photos in front of Shen Li.

There are several different people in that photo, but they all have the same death appearance.

The black dog lay on the ground and yawned, Shen Li touched his stomach with his foot, "Hey."

The black dog glanced at him lazily, and moved its tail.

"Why is it such a troublesome thing again?" Shen Li knelt down and grabbed its dog's head, "It's rare to be free for a few days, so don't disturb it."

The black dog glanced at him with drooping eyelids, shook his head and stood up.

"...The frame is really big." Shen Li muttered, but stopped complaining to him, but took out the small mirror dug out from the mountain from his pocket, "It's what you want."

The black dog snatched the mirror from his hand and swallowed it in one gulp.

——It is not appropriate to say swallow, it just opened its mouth, and then the mirror just disappeared in its mouth.

Shen Li patted its head in no surprise, with a smile on his lips, "I really dare to eat anything... Be careful that you will ruin your stomach someday."

The black dog answered with a snort.

"Witch Chang, let's transform into a human form," Shen Li demanded in a low voice as if talking to himself, "at least tell me what you're going to do this time."

The black dog stared at him for a while, then shook off his hand as if sighing.

Then a burst of smoke rose from the black dog, and a moment later, a pale boy in a long black shirt appeared before his eyes.

"It's exhausting." These were the first words he said.

***

Shen Li didn't care if Wu Chang was tired... Anyway, it wasn't him who was tired.

So he leisurely asked a few questions before agreeing to change back.

The boy in black was not in a hurry to change now, he moved a small bench and sat opposite Shen Li, with no expression on his pale face.

Shen Li saw that he looked flustered, and suddenly felt a little unbalanced in his heart.

"Anyway, I'm idle at home, why don't you come with me?" He suggested maliciously.

Wu Chang gave him a blank look, "Okay."

***

"It's really a remote place." Shen Li lifted the curtain on the side of the car and sighed while looking at the scenery outside the car.

Wu Chang, who had changed his attire, sat beside him in an orderly manner, not intending to speak to him.

"We've known each other for several years...why do you still look like a gourd now?" Shen Li was a little emotional, "Do all the people in the underworld suffer from facial paralysis?"

Wu tasted a half-hearted look at him, "No."

"What is that?"

"That's what I am like." His natural tone immediately suppressed Shen Li's words, so that Shen Li could only stare at his side face.

"...Okay." Shen Li compromised, "Can you tell me what is sealed in my body?"

It was the seal that Wu Chang left when he left five years ago. In the past five years, he accidentally unwrapped it twice, and both times wiped out the spirit bodies nearby at that time. Shen Li still had no memory of it after waking up.

He also tried to ask the old man, but the old man just spread his hands innocently, "Xiao Li, you also know that I can't see those things anymore."

"No." Wu Chang's answer was still very straightforward and unbeatable.

***

The car they were in stopped slowly at a small intersection.

"Here!" the master turned his head and said loudly, "Go straight along this road to Linjiaping! The first car can't drive in here, you have to go by yourself, and you can walk to the store in about four or 10 minutes! Live next to the shop!"

Shen Li paid the money and got out of the car with Wu Chang.

The little tricycle drove away, leaving only two teenagers, one black and one white, standing in front of the T-junction in the dusk, looking at the secluded path in front of them.

Wu Chang took a few steps and walked in.

"Wait!" Shen Li stretched out his hand to grab him, "It's almost time to meet the devil—"

"You don't need to pay attention to those stories about Japanese ghosts and creatures." Wu Chang grabbed Shen Li's wrist with a backhand and pulled him forward, "You and I will go together, and nothing will dare to block the road."

His determined tone infected Shen Li and eased his tense nerves.

"…OK then."

***

After walking for four or ten minutes, the sky has gradually darkened.

"I haven't seen the shop that the master mentioned." Shen Li found a big stone on the side of the road and sat down, "...I'm exhausted."

Wu Chang looked around, "It's a bit strange here."

"Huh?" Shen Li snorted, "Didn't you say that there would be nothing that would dare to block the road?"

"No." Wu Chang tilted his head and listened, "But it's not blocking us... it's blocking everyone."

He paused for a moment, and there was a bit of solemnity in his dull expression, "...I can't feel the breath of a living person."

The author has something to say: XD Gong Jun finally got a thick line~

Shen Li drawn by Dilsan: 3!

It's great, there's wood and there's XD

The fifth night · man-made disaster

Shen Li knew the meaning of this sentence.

This sentence means that there are probably no living people left in Linjiaping.

Shen Li asked subconsciously, "Who sent that photo...?"

"It was sent half a year ago, without a signature." Wu Chang came over and took his left hand, and drew the word "no" in the palm of his hand, "I found it in your waste paper pile."

Shen Li was silent for a moment.

——Although this guy always complains that the old man is taking care of his work, he is a very sympathetic and righteous person, otherwise he would not just be coaxed by the old man and Wu Chang and jump into the pit.

And what Wu Chang said now was telling him: You had a chance to save the people in this village.

***

Shen Li was not in a good mood.

This can be seen from the fact that he hardly talked to Wu Chang and just walked forward in a single mind.

The two walked for another three or ten minutes, but they still couldn't see the shop that the uncle mentioned. There were only tall and low trees around, and only a half-circle sunset in the distance.

Wu Chang silently followed behind Shen Li.

This is a very strange scene.

Shen Li, who was in front, walked very hard, even shaking his body from time to time.

But Wu Chang has always walked steadily.

To say that he is walking on the ground is not enough to describe his appearance.

if must describe
