The Exorcist

Chapter 40: Something more terrifying than death

The stream was not deep, only reaching Xiaoxia's knees, which allowed her to clearly see the woman under the water.

Not only does her face look the same as Xiao Xia's, but if you look closely, her figure is also very similar. She is wearing gorgeous ethnic costumes and a pair of embroidered shoes that only brides wear. Although they are very different from Xiao Xia's clothes, But it turned out to be a bride’s outfit too!

"Dororo, Dororo, Yue Xiaoxia, take the blame; Oh ho ho, oh ho ho, Yue Xiaoxia, come and take my place!" She suddenly spoke and sang a song. That familiar voice clearly told Xiaoxia: She was the woman in the basin last night, not a new illusion or a new ghost!

Her arms held Xiaoxia's ankles straddling both sides of her body at an unimaginable weird angle. Just when Xiaoxia was stunned by her sudden appearance and the song she was reciting, she suddenly lifted it hard and let Xiaoxia fell directly backward into the water.

Although the water was not deep, the incident happened suddenly, and Xiaoxia was originally a landlubber, so when she got up from the water, she was choked and coughing repeatedly, and she couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.

"Didn't anyone tell you?" The female ghost's head silently stretched out from behind Xiao Xia, rested on her left shoulder, and whispered softly, "In the final stage of the 'Bride Search' activity, there will be a bride My friend went to tell the groom secretly where the bride was hiding. Look how similar we two are, just like twins, we should be closer than any good friend!"

She seemed to be clinging to Xiaoxia gently. If anyone was watching, they would definitely think that the two sisters were whispering secret words in the boudoir. However, from the perspective of Xiaoxia, she felt like she was carrying a huge water bag on her body, which was damp and wet. It was so cold and soft that it was difficult to breathe, so heavy that she couldn't get up at all.

"What do you want to do?" Xiaoxia finally said a word.

"Now I'm going to tell the groom that the bride is in the water!"

"Don't even think about it!" Xiaoxia was so suppressed that she couldn't even breathe, and she was so angry that she forgot her fear. She tried her best to stand up, but it didn't work after several attempts. She just felt that the things on her back were getting heavier and heavier, and it was difficult to turn her head!

"I've been in the water for many years, and now it's your turn!" The female ghost chuckled, "How nice it is to be in the water, always so cool, always so clean, and you can't hear the mess outside. The sound, just feeling the gentle flowing water every day, how good, how good!" She said while stroking the back of Xiaoxia's neck, as if she was looking for a good place to start. Xiaoxia only felt that her entire back was cold and damp, with moisture obviously condensing, which made all the hairs on her body stand up, but she couldn't break free.

"Just stay in the water quietly for a year, five years, ten years, or a hundred years, unable to move, and let the gentlest water corrode your skin and flesh, and let the fish and shrimp use your body as their Eat, until the coolness turns into endless cold, until the next unlucky person comes to you, so that you can sing a ballad to her." She continued with gloating, but her tone changed from the gentle at the beginning to sad and sad. The last few words are even more vicious!

"Dororo, Dororo, Yue Xiaoxia, take the blame; oh ho ho, oh ho ho, Yue Xiao Xia, come and take my place!"

She sang the ballad again, and along with the singing, she exerted more force on Xiaoxia's neck. Although Xiaoxia struggled desperately, she was gradually pushed into the water!

The cool stream water slowly soaked Xiaoxia's head, completely cutting off her breathing and part of her hearing. She opened her eyes wide and watched as her face was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the stream. Her hands were waving and scratching in the water in vain, and many thoughts went through her mind in an instant.

Will I never see my parents again? How sad they would be! How will Boss Pan react to her death? Wan Li still can't be saved after all? Will they meet in that world? If he is here, you won't be afraid on the road to Huangquan, right? Also, where is Ruan Zhan? What about the cold and fragile him? In the end, he still didn't belong to her, and he would still spend his whole life in the endless loneliness in his heart. He has yin and yang eyes and can probably see himself. How would he treat her? Just like other ghosts, should he be indifferent with a little sympathy, or would he have an unending love affair with her? Will her plan of "surrounding the city from the countryside" have another chance in that world? What is that world like? Is it really like what Ruan Zhan said - death is just the beginning!

She never knew that when humans face death, they think about so many things that have nothing to do with life and death. Are they afraid? It's not that there is nothing, but my nostalgia for this world exceeds everything else. She doesn't know how other people are, but she is like that anyway.

She has so many unfulfilled wishes, so many people she can't let go of, she also has the best and best friend in the world waiting for her to save her life, and she also has the loneliest and loneliest man in the world waiting for her. She goes to warm, she can't die!

Must not die!

This is not an arrangement of fate, nor is it normal birth, old age, illness and death. There are ghosts and ghosts who want to harm her. No matter how terrifying they are or how powerful they are, she must fight with all her strength!

This thought cheered up her heart for a moment. Although her strength did not increase greatly, her mind became much clearer. She immediately remembered that there were several talismans folded into triangles in her pocket.

There is no special meaning in folding it into that shape, it is just to distinguish the various charms. This kind of talisman can ignite fire, and it can ignite an unusual and spiritual fire.

She fell into the water just now, and now she was pinned down in the stream again. Logically speaking, the charm was soaked and could no longer be used. However, the material of her waist bag is waterproof silk, and Ruan Zhan has great magic power, maybe she can be rescued and used!

With this thought in mind, one of her hands spontaneously reached into her pocket, and she immediately touched several objects with folded corners. Although she couldn't tell whether they were triangular or not, the talisman paper was so moist as if it had absorbed water. But after all, I still have a sense of shape, so maybe I can give it a try!

She held the talisman firmly in her hand, and happened to feel that the thing holding her down behind her was on the side where she was holding the talisman, so without even thinking about it, she relied on her feeling and pressed her backhand against the cold mass. .

"It works! It works!" she thought desperately in her mind.

A few seconds of silence made her think that the spell had no effect. But then she heard a buzzing scream, and felt the strength on the back of her neck loosen. She jerked around and sat up from the water.

She greedily breathed in the fresh air and saw a red flame burning on the left side of the body of the female ghost dressed as a bride, which made her scream and jump in the water. In just a few seconds, she transformed from a beautiful bride into a There was a mass of withered bones dressed in ragged clothes, then charred bones, and then an empty frame wearing a raincoat.

It turns out she is the ghost in the raincoat!

Ruan Zhan failed to kill her that day, but only destroyed her confusing appearance and destroyed her magic power. She actually escaped back and then found her master in an attempt to regain her evil power. Although she had not yet succeeded, it was more than enough to bully Xiaoxia.

The coir raincoat ghost obviously didn't expect that Xiaoxia could still resist in that situation. He thought that Xiaoxia's arms were just struggling before death, but he was suddenly attacked. It's a pity that the talisman was soaked in water and lost its mana, so even though Xiaoxia used all the talismans at once, the effect of the talisman fire was still greatly reduced, and it burned her out of her original form, just 'suddenly' It went out!

"I won't let you go, you have to come and take my place!" As soon as she was out of harm's way of the spell, she screamed and rushed towards her, with an extremely frightening momentum, as if she was going crazy, and the raincoat on her body was like the thorns of a hedgehog. They were all open with anger!

Xiaoxia was shocked. Before she could react, she saw a black shadow in the sky covering her head!

She subconsciously blocked it with her hands, thinking that she would definitely die this time, but she didn't know that the coir raincoat ghost fell down again in mid-air. She immediately understood that although she was not 'burned to death' by the talisman fire, she was seriously injured.

But despite this, she was still hurt by the coir raincoat ghost's all-out attack. She felt a sinister wind sweep across her face. In the blink of an eye, her whole body seemed to be frozen, and she was no longer able to control her body. Fell into the water again.

This time she lay on her back in the water, wearing a bridal dress and beautiful embroidered shoes, staring desperately at the water at the bottom of the stream with her eyes wide open!

She looked exactly the same as the devil in capers, and they were lying in the same position in the same place at the moment. Apart from the difference in clothing, it seemed that the situation had been created unintentionally - she had stayed underwater for the devil in capers! She is indeed its substitute!

She couldn't breathe or move. Although she couldn't see, she could vaguely hear the ghost in the raincoat saying triumphantly in a weak voice, 'The bride is under the water! The bride is underwater! ’ Knowing that she went to report the news to the person behind the scenes, the search for a bride is finally over!

She still lost!

The inability to breathe made her feel more and more uncomfortable. In her confusion, she heard the excited screams of the coir raincoat ghost gradually getting farther and farther away until they completely disappeared. When she finally heard nothing and only felt the sound of running water, she suddenly understood the boundless loneliness of the coir raincoat ghost when he was underwater, and then slowly closed her eyes!

She felt death!

It was not as terrible as imagined, except for the pain that was as short as a moment but as long as eternity! She only felt darkness, a dead but warm darkness! It was as if she was the only one in the world. Although there was no danger, she felt absolutely panicked.

Is this death? But why didn't her soul stand high in the sky and watch all this? Doesn’t it say in the book on soul experience that the dead will see a light? Will it feel like a tunnel? Why can't she see it? Is it because her soul is imprisoned? Does she really want to become that coir raincoat's substitute, become the next thing to harm people, and also become a ghost Gu without free will?

This fear is far more terrifying than death!

She doesn't want to be controlled like a puppet and use her misery to hurt others! She doesn't want to be used as the evil person behind the scenes or an accomplice of the evil spirit!

This thought made her run in the dark, trying to find the exit! Her feet were soft, and she didn't know if she was stepping on the ground. She had no sense of space and time, but she still kept running.

She just wants to find an exit, even in hell, as long as she doesn't become a poisoned ghost! In that case, it might be Ruan Zhan who kills her, which would be even more unbearable for her than losing everything!

After running around for a while, she felt no fatigue but no sense of progress, as if she had been staying in place. While she was anxious, she suddenly felt a huge suction force coming from the depths of darkness, as if it was trying to pull her somewhere!

This made her panic and fearful, fearing that the person behind the scenes was waiting for her on the other side of the darkness!

At this time, among all the ghosts in the world, she is probably the only one who longs to go to hell!
