"What are you going to do?" Chu Jing asked.
"Chu Jing, are you right in saying that Meng Fuling is still alive?"
"Yes, no one has killed him yet."
"Then why doesn't my ability work on him?"
"Your ability is that silver ball of light?"
"Well," Xiaolan nodded, "Put it through directly, it has no effect at all."
"I was just about to tell you this," Chu Jing asked, "Is your ability related to space?"
Xiaolan was stunned.
"How did you..."
"That's right," Chu Jing interrupted, "The reason why the light ball didn't work on him is because Meng Fuling also has special power related to space. It is by relying on this power that he can kill people and escape again and again. Only by punishing him can he complete his elaborate scam."
He is indeed capable.
Xiaolan touched her throat that had completely healed, and she only regretted that she had just used her spatial ability at that time.
"In addition to controlling space, does he have other abilities?" Xiaolan asked.
"It seems... there is a little more..."
Xiaolan raised her eyes and listened.
"Judging from our experience of being deceived and killed, he seems to have some... ability to control people's hearts," Chu Jing said hesitantly, "It's just... this feeling is very strange. It doesn't seem like his own ability. It's more like he borrowed his ability from somewhere..."
Xiaolan frowned, "Why do you say that?"
"Each of us met Meng Fuling when we were most lost and lonely. He was very good at pretending and deceiving, but we wouldn't completely trust a stranger. When talking to him, we could still Stay rational, but as long as he is close, the smell on his body..."
"Smell?" Xiaolan was surprised, "He relied on smell to confuse you?"
"Don't you smell it? You will believe him unswervingly, maybe for this reason. After we told our stories, we found that each of us is the same. Ever since we smelled his scent, It’s like being bewitched.”
Xiaolan reflected for a moment and realized that the smell really didn't exist. She only believed him because she didn't expect there to be such bad people in the world.
"What does it smell like? A special smell?"
"It's a smell that you can tell right away. It's not the body odor that ordinary people carry. It has a faint smell of blood. But when we realized that it turned out to be the smell of blood, we couldn't make a correct judgment. ”
"Ah...ah...ah...ah..." It was a familiar voice again.
"Yes, yes..." Chu Jing seemed to be talking to the man, and then said to Xiaolan, "There is another reason why we suspect that the power of controlling people's hearts brought by this smell does not come from himself," Chu Jing said Jing Dundun said, "The confusing smell on him comes from his home, his house. We have been to the room that was filled with the smell of blood, and the smell on his body was completely contaminated by the smell in the house..."
"The smell in the house?"
Xiaolan thought of the room with scarlet lights and ambiguous lights.
"Yes, that's that room. There's also a room here that belongs to him."
"There's one here too?!" Xiaolan exclaimed.
Has Meng Fuling controlled them to such an extent? There is actually his lair in the cage formed by the victim's will.
"Actually... we still don't know where his lair is. His spatial transfer is so powerful that we can't keep up with it at all. Every time we feel that the smell on him is getting weaker, he will find a way to disappear and be trapped by us again. By the time I found it, the smell had returned.”
Xiaolan understood what Chu Jing meant.
"You want us to find his lair. If we can't find it, we can't get rid of him, right?"
"For now, that's the easiest way."
"Do you have any idea about the location of the room?"
Chu Jing fell silent, and the voice of "Ah" came again.
Xiaolan probably guessed the source of the sound.
"As for clues, we don't have any," Chu Jing said after a while, "but based on what we know about him, it must be a place that no one has ever seen."
Places no one has ever seen before.
This place is so big, there are many places that I have never been to.
But how do you make sure that no one will find a place?
"Yuxuan, are you feeling well?" Xiaolan asked first.
Yuxuan nodded confusedly.
Xiaolan glanced at the white clouds on the ground, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "We have to go, we are going to find an important place..."
Yuxuan pursed her lips, "Can you take my brother with you?"
Xiaolan didn't speak, just looked at Yuxuan. After a while, Yuxuan lowered her head.
"Leave my brother here?"
"Brother Yunqi has left here and reincarnated," Xiaolan said. "This is just his body. He must also want you to run out as soon as possible."
Although she was lying, Xiaolan didn't feel any sense of remorse.
Yuxuan leaned down and hugged her brother.
A long hug.
Yuxuan's shoulders trembled slightly, and her petite back looked even thinner in the dim light.
Behind him, a translucent mist gradually condensed.
Xiaolan saw it but didn't stop it.
The mist gradually formed into a human shape. The boy, wearing a blood-stained shirt, stretched out his arms in a hugging gesture.
Bai Yunqi hugged Yuxuan's shoulders.
But Yuxuan felt nothing.
Xiaolan knew that Yuxuan was saying goodbye to Bai Yunqi, and Bai Yunqi was also saying goodbye to Yuxuan.
A very long hug.
After a long time, Yuxuan finally straightened up, passed through the translucent white clouds, stood upright, and lowered her head to look down at her brother's body.
Bai Yunqi smiled, sat up as well, and turned to look at Xiaolan.
She looks like Yuxuan, with a gentle and delicate face.
"Thank you."
The sound is also clear.
Yuxuan shivered on the spot, looked around strangely, but found nothing unusual. She took one last look at her brother, bit her lower lip and walked towards Xiaolan.
Bai Yunqi looked at his sister's back and nodded at Xiaolan.
He stood up, walked directly through the wall in the darkness, and disappeared.
No wonder he didn't feel self-blame, Xiaolan thought to himself, no matter whether Bai Yunqi entered reincarnation or entered the graveyard, he had let go.
This is how people are, whether they are alive or dead, they all have to say goodbye.
Learn to say goodbye, and people grow up.
Yuxuan's eyes were red and swollen, Xiaolan took her hand and walked resolutely up the stairs.
The work of protecting Chi Miao and the others should be left to the Luo family and his son for the time being. He should concentrate on finding Meng Fuling's house and eliminate him completely.
Yuxuan had not seen the light for many days. When Xiaolan took out food from the kitchen and gave it to her, he finally felt relieved when he saw the scars on her neck and the way she was devouring her food.
This girl can still live happily.
Walking into the light, Yuxuan's weak legs unconsciously became weak. She stamped her feet on the spot, stood still, and looked up at the sun.
Xiaolan looked at Yuxuan.
It's time to end.
It's time for this to end.
