The Exorcist

Chapter 60 Regaining Memory

At first, Zhang Zixin and Lu Yan did not agree to hand over the child to Duan Jin. No matter how powerful Duan Jin's magic power was, she was not a normal human being after all and could not give the child a normal child's life. However, the couple wanted to give the child a safe life too much. The environment ensures that the children can live a safe and smooth life, and then they can leave with peace of mind.

However, when they learned that no one except Duan Jin could save the child's life, and that the child's recovery was a long-term process, they could only agree, but asked to meet Duan Jin first.

Others understand their mentality very well. They are like parents who are forced to give away their own flesh and blood for raising. They wish they could arrange every step of their children's future life. But this was particularly dazzling in Ruan Zhan's eyes. He suddenly thought of himself. Did his father feel so worried and reluctant to give him up when he gave him to those timid adoptive parents? My father must have known about his powers. Didn't he ever think that he would be regarded as a monster in the eyes of the world? Looking back now, even after his father 'adopted' him, he never cared about him more because of his powers, let alone explained and comforted him. Why? Why did his father treat him like that? Are the powers you were born with really innate? Is it genetic? Is it an arrangement? Or is he particularly ‘favored’ by God and is he a freak?

"Do you want to meet alone or do you want us to be present?" Bao Datong's voice brought Ruan Zhan back to his thoughts.

"We want to talk alone, okay?" Zhang Zixin said.

"Of course, then I'll go out and pick up Duan Jin. Although Azhan's protective formation has removed some of the restrictions, it has not been completely removed. Duan Jin can't get in without someone to take him with him." Bao Datong stood up and said I took a look downstairs and saw a woman standing on the street corner. She was dressed in black, with an expressionless face and no makeup, but she was astonishingly beautiful and slim. Who could she be if she wasn't Duan Jin?

Compared with persuading and explaining to Zhang Zixin and his wife, it was much easier for him to contact Duan Jin. Because he was afraid that Duan Jin would develop inner demons during her cultivation, his father personally set a controllable restriction on her soul, so he could use spells to talk directly to Duan Jin when she was in trance.

He was right, Duan Jin did not reject his proposal at all. First of all, since she is cultivating, she will not ignore death and will definitely try her best to save the child. Secondly, she is too lonely. A child can transfer her maternal love, which is quite attractive to her, so although she She still acted calm, but judging from the fact that she came here so quickly, her heart was also urgent.

He waved to Duan Jin and then went downstairs to bring her up. It is up to the child's parents to discuss the following matters themselves. He only hopes for a good outcome.

Duan Jin and Zhang Zixin talked for three days before finally settling the matter. None of Ruan Zhan and the other four people are parents, and they don't understand that there are so many things to talk about about a child. Fortunately, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. Everyone could feel Duan Jin's love for the child, so when she took away the child's family, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I will definitely cure this child and bring him up well." She said before leaving. "Maybe in more than ten years, he will come here to study in college, and he will also become a person who can slay demons." She meant it. What she was referring to reminded Ruan Zhan and others of that fatal trip in the mountains and forests, the trip that took away the lives of many innocent classmates and also caused her to lose her son.

Ruan Zhan and the others were also surprised by her opening. Basically, she didn't talk to them. Although she helped them and met Bao Datong often, her attitude clearly said: She knew she was wrong. , but she still hates those who made her lose her last bit of hope!

However, now that she spoke, or it could be said that she finally let go of her arms and eliminated the last bit of hatred. She forgave them, after all, although they had cost her her son, they had now given her another one. Although this son is sick and prone to disasters, he is as pure as a piece of white paper. She can re-educate him, stop making irreparable mistakes, and give him all her love!

"We are just going to see the place where the children will grow up in the future. We will leave when the time comes and we will not stay for a meaningless time. Trust us." Zhang Zixin also promised again and again.

Now that the matter has come to this, what else is left to say? Several people worked together to pass another level. As usual, they were a little happy and a little disappointed, especially in this incident, Ruan Zhan's life experience was revealed.

"Everyone has left, when will you leave?" Wan Li asked Bao Datong three days after the incident.

He knew clearly that Bao Datong had no intention of leaving, but instead became more and more comfortable in the bar. Not only was he busy with business, but he was also very popular, and even had the tendency to dominate the guests.

"I haven't accomplished anything in my career, so why would I leave my 'cousin'?" Bao Datong said without any sincerity, still as shameless as ever. Taking a break from the busy schedule, he and Wan Li sat in the corner, watching Ruan Zhan busy with his indifferent but distant smile, calmly dealing with all kinds of guests.

"It will be great if he can let go of his arms like Duan Jin." Bao Datong sighed slightly.

"There's nothing you or I can do about this matter, only Xiaoxia can." Wan Li sipped his wine, "But he's faced with three difficulties - that's what he can't get over."

"No wonder him. He loves Xiaoxia so much, how can he bear to make her sad. Of course it's easy to be desperate, but how can you let go when you have concerns in your heart? If it were me -"

Before Bao Datong finished speaking, Wan Li suddenly said "Eh" and remembered something, "No, I just remembered that A Zhan only told me about his difficulties. Why do you look like you knew it earlier?" , not surprised at all?”

"Did you just realize it? You're so slow! You're still a psychiatrist!" Bao Datong took the opportunity to ridicule Wan Li and was a little excited, "You still call me a magic stick, you? At most I'm cheating money, but I can still give Customers have peace of mind. But you have no medical knowledge at all, but you still treat people, which is misleading. Uh, no, it should be quack doctors who kill people. No wonder people say quack doctors are a different kind of professional killers!"

"I'm just saying, I recruited you so much. Just tell me, did you know about this a long time ago?"

"Of course!" Bao Datong said with a matter-of-fact air, "otherwise, do you really think I came here to work hard for my career? Life should be simple and natural. It's so disrespectful to fight for extraneous things. The essence of it? Besides, it’s so tiring!”

Wan Li suddenly realized it!

He originally didn't believe that Bao Datong came here to start a 'career', but he never thought that Bao Datong came here to help Ruan Zhan. He thought he had come to experience the world, or was a little Taoist priest Sifan. What I didn't expect was that Bao Datong admitted it directly!

"How do you know?"

"I eavesdropped. Didn't I tell you that Uncle Ruan often comes to talk to my father, and I especially like to eavesdrop. Once, Uncle Ruan talked about this difficult situation. Although he felt that Ah Zhan cannot avoid this disaster, but he hopes that my father can help Azhan save his life. Even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, he must try. So I always feel that the relationship between Azhan and Uncle Ruan There must be a deep misunderstanding, or the uncle has great difficulties. In fact, the uncle loves his son very much. After seeing Zhang Zixin and his wife treat the child, I am even more convinced of this. At that time, Uncle Ruan and my father talked about Azhan. When the incident occurred, their behaviors were the same as those of Zhang Zixin and his wife."

"So you came here privately?"

"It's not private, it's imperial approval." Bao Datong scratched his head, "Back then, I was still young. Although I heard the words 'Feng San Zhi Di', I didn't know what it meant. And because I overheard it, , I didn’t dare to ask, and later I thought it was some strange magic, and gradually forgot about it. A few days ago, my father said that he was going to travel around the world, so he told me about it in detail and asked me to help Azhan. I Only then did I find out about my eavesdropping. It turned out that my father and Uncle Ruan knew about it, but they just didn’t reveal it."

"Then how can we help? Does Uncle Bao have any clever ideas?" Wan Li asked hurriedly.

Hearing this, Wan Li thought that the wise and foolish Uncle Bao had some excellent solution, and couldn't help but be surprised. Unexpectedly, Bao Datong shook his head, "This is A Zhan's destiny. Uncle Ruan has calculated that A Zhan simply escaped." It's just a matter of trying everything. My father has also calculated it countless times. A Zhan's fate line this year has been shrouded in heavy black energy, which should be unreasonable. I'm here to see if we can Create a miracle and forcefully turn Ah Zhan's life chart around. My dad is not optimistic and just wants to fulfill his promise to his old friend, but I think there is a way to do it. Although I still don't know how to do it, I think, A Zhan has been through so many battles in which the weak defeated the strong, so this time he has no chance. Isn't there a saying - man can defeat nature!"

Wan Li was stunned for a moment, and his heart that had just risen because of hope sank again. But on second thought, Bao Datong was right. No matter what their fate was, they would not sit still and wait for death. Even if Ah Zhan, who faces all this calmly on the surface, really comes to a critical moment, with his personality, he will definitely fight until the world is turned upside down.

The weak accept their fate, the brave challenge their fate, and the strong defeat their fate!

"Just don't let Xiaoxia know about this matter." Bao Datong continued, "There is no need to make her life heavy. I envy her character that is not easily depressed. Any setback will not make her depressed for long. It's really good. character."

"Do you still need to say this?" Wan Li glanced at the door, and a kind of uneasiness occupied his entire mind.

Xiaoxia finally returned to work as normal. Fortunately, Director Pan, who indulged her so much, forgave her for not doing her job properly. Or, because Xiaoxia has been in poor health since she started working in the field of law popularization, the powerful director may think that it was caused by him sending her to a remote area, so he may have a compensatory mentality. Otherwise, given Xiaoxia's work performance and attendance situation, , it’s a miracle that he can stay.

Director Pan must not know that Xiaoxia's physical condition is very good, and she will not be vulnerable for so long just because of a little fatigue or injury. All this is caused by her strong inner resistance to A Zhan's attempt to erase her memory. of.

Recently, she has often been in a trance. She would secretly look at A Zhan for a long time, looking thoughtful, testing her, but she refused to say anything, as if her memory was blurred. Even when they watched the old Hollywood movie "The Mandarin Dream Revisited" together yesterday and saw the amnesia plot in it, she suddenly had a headache and felt like she was about to die, and then she cried inexplicably.

He was afraid that she would remember the past that had disappeared. It was not that he wanted to get her selfishly. In fact, since he knew the secret of A Zhan's life experience, he had decided to give up pursuing Xiao Xia because A Zhan was emotionally poor and had nothing. Xiaoxia is his only love and hope, and also the reason for him to fight against his fate. As his best friend, how can he bear to interfere with her? !

It's not that he doesn't love her anymore, he still loves her, or it can be said that he loves her more than ever, but as a movie line puts it well, he would rather have two happy friends than a sad woman.

At this time, if Xiaoxia thinks of all that, she will hate Ruan Zhan, and their relationship will be even more bumpy. However, he had a rather bad premonition. That memory was too strong for Xiao Xia, and A Zhan cast it out of confusion and infatuation. He had experienced so many things recently, and the two of them were so close, which would stimulate the memory recovery.

Thinking of this, Wan Li looked up at the door again. She should have left work long ago, why hasn't she come back yet? He just needs to look at her every day and pray that she doesn't think of anything!

The door finally opened, and Xiaoxia's figure appeared beside the door. She still looks so delicate and cute, so delicate that she can arouse men's most primitive desire for protection, but at the same time, she is so strong that it makes people feel heartbroken. But why does she look so pale and uneasy today?

Wan Li stood up and wanted to greet him, but Xiaoxia ran straight to the bar, said something to Ruan Zhan, then turned to him and gave him a forced smile, said hello and went upstairs. Ruan Zhan seemed a little confused, but he still followed him upstairs.

It's over, she needs to remember! Wan Li felt cold and wanted to stop Ruan Zhan, but still didn't say anything. What is supposed to come, will always come!

Upstairs, Ruan Zhan and Xiao Xia came to the room. Although the incident with the demon boy has passed, Xiaoxia still refuses to leave, and she doesn't know why.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her pale face, confused eyes, and a strand of sweaty hair stuck to her plump forehead, Ruan Zhan felt pity in his heart.

Xiaoxia didn't say anything, but just looked at Ruan Zhan, which gradually made him feel a little hairy.

"What happened, tell me." He couldn't help stroking her face, "No matter what, I will help you."

"You seemed to hate me coming to you before." Xiaoxia said slowly, as if talking in her sleep, "How come we became friends later?"

"Xiao Xia——"

"Lower your head, I have something to say." Xiao Xia raised her index finger.

Ruan Zhan was puzzled and had some ominous premonitions, but he still lowered his head.

Xiaoxia walked closer to Ruan Zhan, so close that if he moved even slightly, the two of them would be close to each other. She looked at him with some horror in her eyes, "I want to do an experiment to prove that the thing I have been dreaming about in my dream is true." "Yes." She said, and then without waiting for Ruan Zhan's reaction, she suddenly pecked his lips.

Ruan Zhan was completely stunned, bent over and froze in place, seeing Xiao Xia's eyes getting more and more excited, and then kissed him for the second time.

This time, her lips stayed on his for a long time, so long that he lost his mind, so long that his mind became confused, and so long that all the defensive dams he had built so hard in his heart collapsed. Eager to pursue her, he held her in his arms and kissed her passionately.

How he loved her! But he had to suppress the emotion he longed for most, seeing her walking around him every day, how much effort he had to put in to restrain himself from touching her!

He completely forgot everything around him, indulged in this long-lost kiss, and was intoxicated by her softness and sweetness, but suddenly he felt a pain in his lips, and then he was suddenly pushed away!

"You kissed me, in the new town of Hongqing Town." Her lips were stained with his blood, and her face was filled with endless anger and sadness. "But you forcibly erased my memory! You have What rights? Didn’t you promise me that you would never use that amazing spell on me? You promised me!"

For a moment, he understood that she had recovered her memory, but her fierce reaction and the look on her face frightened him, "Listen to me, Xiaoxia—" He tried to hold her trembling body, but she tried her best to Go back and keep your distance from him!

"What rights do you have? That's my memory, that's my past. What right do you have?!" Xiaoxia almost screamed, tears streaming down her face.

After coming back from Hongqing Town, she always felt that something was hurting her. Every time she saw Ruan Zhan, her heart would be confused and sour. She once thought it was caused by her secret love, but every time he and he Her unintentional skin-to-skin contact made her feel like she had forgotten something! Until these days, the door that had been closed in her mind suddenly revealed a little light!

And this kiss proved everything, proved that her feelings were correct. This kiss was the key to opening this door, causing memories to suddenly flood into her heart like a tide, destroying all the tenderness in her heart!

"It's not what you think!" Ruan Zhan further tried to comfort Xiao Xia, who was so excited that she lost her mind, but Xiao Xia didn't listen.

"I only ask what right you have to do this to me!" She had no way out, her back was against the wall, "No matter how much you hate me, how much you regret kissing me, how much you want to get rid of me as a woman, just tell me Okay, why do you do that to me? I won’t misunderstand, I will stay far away from you and let you continue to roam the flowers! No matter how worthless I and my love for you are in your heart, you have to Are you so regretful that you have to forget everything? Did I just make you feel unable to face it? Do you think I would cling to you just for a kiss? No matter if you were playing games or because of a temporary infatuation , I won’t blame you, because I’m the one who brought it to your doorstep! But you have no right to take away what belongs to me! You have no right to play with me in your hands. If you want me to get away, just stay away. Ming Ming, I will immediately go to a place where you will never see me! Why are you humiliating me in this way? You are probably laughing secretly. Another idiot woman who has fallen at your feet still expects your love! You--you've gone too far!"

"No, I didn't mean it. Listen to me -" Xiao Xia's sadness made Ruan Zhan, who had always been calm, speechless and almost writhing with heartache.

"Don't come over!" Xiaoxia once again stopped Ruan Zhan, who wanted to get closer, and jumped to the table. There was a paper knife on the table. She grabbed it and pointed it at her neck. "If you dare to come here, I will charge you with murder. If you have the ability, take my dead soul and erase the memory!"

Looking at the gleaming knife and the faint blood stains on her delicate neck, Ruan Zhan was so frightened that he immediately stepped back. Xiaoxia is a woman like fire, no matter love or hate. He did something wrong, it was he who made her burn. It was because of love before, but now it is because of hate!
