The Exorcist

Chapter 51 It’s him!

"Yes." Wan Li smiled, not scared, but a little excited, "He was so powerful when he was in his twenties, and he was good at all kinds of witchcraft and spells. Let's not talk about his current tricks. Listen to what the village chief said. He would ask the black cat to use the smoke as a thread to go to a village so far away to bring back the person he wanted to take revenge on. It took less than midnight and the entire village could not wake up. , just the sound of bells and drums can make people enter a state of sleepwalking, and they can go to see the King of Hell in their dreams. Your deep hypnosis method is far behind it!"

"If you're afraid, go back."

"I'll answer your question with my breath out of my nose." Wan Li never forgets to quarrel with Ruan Zhan whenever he gets the chance, "But how should we prepare?"

"I have Xiaoxia's cell phone here. I will go to Jincun Village later. You wait here for Xiaoxia to wake up, and then we will go to the town together."

"You want to confirm whether Xiaoxia looks the same as that Miao girl bride?" Wan Li understood Ruan Zhan's intention.

There is no signal for mobile phones in the mountains, so Xiaoxia uses her mobile phone as a clock and camera. The reason why Ruan Zhan wanted to take her mobile phone was because it contained Xiaoxia's photos so that he could confirm it with the people in Jin Village. Although the two villages of Naman and Najin were unwilling to talk about Ah Ya, they were not taboo about the bride. This was a strange phenomenon.

"That's right. You have to be completely sure before you can formulate a strategy."

"Then why are you going to town? You're not going to the hospital to get some anti-inflammatory medicine. You almost stamped off the soles of my feet in order to understand my voodoo."

"I suddenly had an idea." Ruan Zhan ignored Wan Li's joke and frowned habitually, "Assuming Ah Ya is really the manipulator behind the scenes, how could he let go of the educated youth whom the Miao girl loved with his personality? ?”

"No need to assume, it's him. Although there is no conclusive factual evidence, it must be him. But what do you mean when you mention that educated youth back then?" Wan Li asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Don't you think Huang Boheng's origin is a bit strange? Moreover, with Ah Ya's sinister methods, he will definitely use the cruelest method to retaliate against this 'Best Actor'! What better way than to let his enemy Being his own puppet, a walking corpse, there is no way to take revenge, neither life nor death! Is it out of love that he placed a ghost poison on that young bride? Is it also love for him to use a ghost poison on Xiao Xia? "

"Yes! It's possession and control. He likes to control." Wan Li became interested in analysis. "To a certain extent, this is an extremely insecure person. He must put everything he likes or hates. Only when you are under your own control can you feel at ease. There is a line in a movie that says it best: No one can give you a sense of security. The sense of security is given to you by yourself. Unfortunately, many people do not understand this."

"You have an occupational disease again!" Ruan Zhan felt powerless at Wan Li's ability to talk off-topic and his careless personality. "You want to discuss psychology, right? OK, I'll talk with you. First of all, your abominable professional habits are also A type of obsessive-compulsive disorder.”

Wan Li laughed, "I understand, I understand. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to help him. From other perspectives, he is a very pitiful and lonely person. If the surrounding environment was better, he would not have developed to this point. But I knew I had to kill him because he had harmed too many people. If he didn't die, where would the justice be? You see, I am very clear-headed in the face of right and wrong, which shows that my obsessive-compulsive disorder is within the scope of self-control. It's a psychological problem, not a mental illness. As long as you are a normal person, you will have psychological problems. It would be abnormal if you didn't have any at all. Even animals--"

"Shut up!"

"Okay, I'll shut up." Wan Li raised his hands in surrender, "You are a patient now, and I won't mess with you. That Gu of yours - is everything okay?"

"I've pinned him down here." Ruan Zhan stroked his flat belly, "I don't know when it will happen, so we have to get ready quickly, and we have to get Ah Ya out quickly."

"Are you sure you don't want to tell Xiaoxia the real situation? I think she is not as delicate as you think, and she has the right to know all the truth about the matter."

"She will know the truth, but don't say anything about me, don't let her know anything, that way she will be much happier." Ruan Zhan was very stubborn, "No more words, we are pressed for time, I will leave first."

"Are you going to use your time and space distortion technique again?" Wan Li stopped him, "Xiaoxia said it right. If you use it so frequently, your body will be overwhelmed. Even if you play video games, your internal energy will be used up."

"Stop talking nonsense, you know we don't have time. I won't use it if I can, but not now."

"Can't you practice something else? I remember your father taught you many things."

"I only know theoretical knowledge and have never tried it. It seems that I need to practice hard when I go home in the future. Even if I can't go back this time, I still want to study it."

"I don't like to hear this." Wan Li interrupted Ruan Zhan, "Three of us came and three of us went back. Don't think that you will be like that Duan Jin in the future, able to protect the people you love even if you die."

"Duan Jin?"

"You won't forget, right? She's the woman who practices yin and yang eyes that we met when we were traveling during the summer vacation in college."

Ruan Zhan paused and immediately remembered the past, but he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand to draw the talisman and stepped out.

"There are so many Five Element Escape Techniques in Chinese Taoism, and your great father taught you so many. If you don't sort them out carefully and insist on learning Yang Muyou's techniques, you will really - how should I put it - enter the treasure mountain? Went back empty-handed." Wan Li muttered in the direction where Ruan Zhan disappeared out of thin air. He stood up and wanted to go upstairs. He didn't notice his badly cut foot. He screamed in pain and knocked Xiao Xia directly on the third floor. Wake up with a start.

After Wan Li relayed what happened that morning to Xiao Xia, Ruan Zhan had already returned from doing errands in Najin Village.

"How is it?" Wan Li asked.

Ruan Zhan nodded.

Xiao Xia turned pale and said, "Let me make a promise first, I will never marry that thing until I die. If I have to die, you will be responsible for beating me to death!"

"I won't let him get you, don't worry." Ruan Zhan didn't know what he was thinking and said without raising his head.

"Yes, if you get married, you can only choose one of us. Any other men who want to get involved will be killed!" Wan Li said half-truthfully.

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him, but she was still very happy.

How wonderful that he is okay! She really liked that he lived so healthily and happily in this world. Although it sometimes made people hate her with itch, the thought of him being there made at least the world be bright.

"Then shall we go to the town now?" Wan Li asked, "Xiao Xia and I are both injured now, and we are in dire straits. You are going to have a hard time."

"I'll rely on you when we get to town." Ruan Zhan stepped forward to help Xiaoxia up, putting one hand on her slender waist, almost half-hugging her, just like when she was sent to the bar by Wan Li for the first time. Same, "I've already booked a room at the largest hotel in town, and I can make long-distance calls. Come on, or you can walk there by yourself."

As he spoke, he used the time and space distortion technique again. Wan Li hurriedly jumped on one foot to follow, and arrived in a room in an instant.

"Your spells need to be improved, otherwise you should just twist me onto the bed next to the phone." He complained, and then threw himself on the corner of the bed to make a phone call.

He once worked as a psychological consultant specially hired by the police, so he knew some people, and Ruan Zhan inquired about the city where the 'Best Actor' was. In this way, he only needs to ask his friends in the police to help him check whether any of the educated youths who have returned to the city from Naman's place have been reported missing or died in accidents over the years, and he can basically determine whether the puppet Huang Boheng is the Miao man back then. The woman has a sweetheart.

Now that information has developed, and missing persons are recorded, it is relatively easy. However, it still took a lot of effort to investigate this matter. It was not until nearly dusk that the exact results were obtained, and a fax was obtained from the post office here.

This document states that the educated youth surnamed Li did go to Naman when he went to work in the mountains and countryside, and that he disappeared not long after returning to the city. His family reported the case, but up to now he has not been found alive or dead. There is also a document attached. photo.

The photo is a bit blurry, and his facial features are slightly rougher than Huang Boheng's, but if you look closely, you can still tell that the two people have very similar faces. The slight differences in the facial features can be seen as the effects of plastic surgery. The key is his overall temperament and Huang Boheng is very similar.

As expected, Ah Ya did not let anyone go. He was paranoid and punished all the people he thought had offended him in different ways. Not a single one was spared!

"It's basically confirmed." Wan Li put down the document in his hand, "Based on the nature of Xiaoxia's work, the investigation can be regarded as completed. When it comes to the stage of review and prosecution, we will finally wait for Azhan to sentence him to death and execute him immediately, depriving him of political rights for life. "

"Huang Boheng, or rather the person named Li, his appearance hasn't changed much." Xiao Xia said doubtfully while still looking at the photo.

"That's right. It can be seen that he was not made into a puppet ten years ago, but many years ago. Because it cannot be considered a human, it does not have a normal human metabolism and does not age." Ruan Zhan still frowned, not knowing. What's going on in my mind.

"Now I really admire this Mr. Mum." Wan Li said sincerely, "He wants to control such a difficult puppet. Not only does the puppet itself think that he is a complete person, completely like a normal person, but in fact, in his belly It’s just a bag of eyes in a coconut shell, but if no one around you notices it, I’m afraid I have to go through a lot of difficulties after so many years.”

Xiaoxia had heard about this before, but she still shuddered when she heard it again, but she was concerned about Ah Ya's current appearance. She heard that he should be almost seventy years old, but she had a strong feeling that he was not an old man. The village chief said that people with divine power age slower than ordinary people and live longer. So how old does Ah Ya seem to be now?

Does she know this man? Where did he see that she looked like the Miao girl back then, so he set his sights on her? So is all this a trap set up by him to get her? But is it necessary to go to such trouble? With his high skills and powerful magic power, wouldn't it be enough to kill Ruan Zhan and poison her while she was away? !

Is it true that as Wan Li analyzed, he has a sense of confidance, just like that kind of serial killer who wants to show his skills and want people to catch him? Or does he have deeper psychological requirements?

"It's better to go back first." Ruan Zhan said, looking a little wrong.

"That's right, there's nothing to investigate here." Wan Li responded, enduring the pain in his feet to help Xiao Xia and not letting Ruan Zhan do anything. He knew that Ruan Zhan's poison had taken effect. Although Ruan Zhan had the power to suppress it and would not lose his mind, he had experienced the physical pain, not to mention that the poison in Ruan Zhan's body was forcibly induced. Gu, the attack on the body will be more severe.

Wan Li thought Xiao Xia didn't notice, but although Xiao Xia was careless, her thoughts were delicate. She noticed something was wrong with Ruan Zhan, so when he excused himself to fetch water from the stream behind the Octagon Tower, she followed him quietly. As soon as he turned around a big stone, he saw Ruan Zhan bent over sitting on the ground, his head lowered. Even in the dusk, he could see that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

She was startled and ran a few steps, almost falling on him, just in time to see his pale, sweaty face.

"What's wrong with you?" Her cold little hands touched his sweaty face, making him feel very comfortable, and even the pain seemed to lessen.

"You must have overused that distortion technique. I told you not to use it." Xiao Xia was busy wiping his sweat, with tears in her eyes, "But why don't you tell me, why do you always treat me like an irrelevant person?" People? Why exclude everyone from your life, even friends?"

Ruan Zhan said nothing because he didn't know how to answer.

"Do you know how cold you are? Although you have a smile on your face, no matter how hot the fire is when it comes close to you, it will be extinguished immediately!" Xiaoxia felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to say anything, "I am the same as Wan Li, it is you Your partner. You have to remember this!”

"Remember, remember, remember!" Wan Li, who disappeared at the same time as Ruan Zhan, appeared and solved Ruan Zhan's siege.

He was holding a bucket in his hand, and it turned out that he was the one carrying the water.

"Put it down quickly!" Xiaoxia sniffed, "Your feet are not healed yet, why are you carrying water?"

"It doesn't matter, the three of us are the Disabled Corps after all." Wan Li had a sunny look on his face, he had the ability to make any awkward situation normal immediately, "I told you not to listen to Xiaoxia, your stomach hurts, right? You deserve it! It hurts now. Are you dead?" He scolded Ruan Zhan, but he looked concerned. Seeing that Ruan Zhan's expression had softened, he knew that this wave of attacks had passed, so he felt relieved and sat on the ground. He has experienced this kind of torture before. When it attacks, it feels like a knife stabbing randomly in the stomach. The pain disappears immediately after the attack.

"I won't do what you want." Ruan Zhan said and stood up unsteadily.

"What are you going to do again?" Xiao Xia pulled his hand, "I know we don't have much time, but just take a five-minute break. It shouldn't have any impact."

"I'm in a hurry to get your phone." Although Ruan Zhan survived the severe pain, he felt powerless. He didn't like this feeling and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on until he could face Ah-Ya. That was a super strong opponent, and he was faced with a situation where the weak must defeat the strong, and he didn't know if Yang Muyou would come out to cause trouble!

"I have my phone with me." Xiao Xia handed the phone to Ruan Zhan doubtfully.

When she first got this mobile phone that could take pictures, she was so new to it for a while that she almost took photos of everything she saw. But those were all taken randomly at home and at work. What could be of value?

Ruan Zhan said nothing and fiddled with his cell phone. After a while, he handed the phone to Wan Li, "Didn't you meet the person behind the scenes, but you can't remember it because of the poison? See if this can stimulate your memory."

Wan Li was as confused as Xiao Xia, wondering what Ruan Zhan was thinking of again.

But a photo on his phone suddenly struck him like a bolt of lightning.

it's him!
