Twelve o'clock at midnight.
I followed the master's instructions and first sprinkled the glutinous rice on the ground to form a circle that could accommodate three people. I sat in the circle and placed the bowl of water opposite me.
I lit a piece of talisman paper and quickly put it into the water. When the ashes of the talisman paper filled the water, I closed my eyes tightly and kept chanting the names of Jiang Yue and Zeng Ke.
After reading the big concept more than a dozen times, I felt the wind chime on my wrist vibrating. It suddenly occurred to me that ghosts are afraid of this. I ran downstairs quickly and put the wind chime on the coffee table.
As soon as I went up, I saw a woman standing in the rice circle with her back to me. I was suspicious that someone was missing, so I walked over anxiously.
"Jiang Yue?" I called tentatively.
She slowly turned around, her face very pale, but her appearance was still as beautiful as the first time I met her.
She said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have hurt you in the first place."
I waved my hand and smiled nonchalantly: "If you hadn't told me how to escape at that time, I might have gone to the underworld to report."
She smiled sheepishly.
The master told me that this spiritualism has a time limit. When all the rice disappears, her soul will return to the underworld.
I didn't think too much and just asked her urgently what happened to her and who caught Zeng Ke and me.
Tears kept flowing from her loving eyes. She gently stretched out her hand towards me and gently touched my eyebrow with her fingertips.
I was actually a little sleepy, and I just heard Jiang Yue whisper: "Don't be afraid, now you will enter my memories. There will be the answer you want."
When I opened my eyes, there were two people in front of me, Zeng Ke and Jiang Yue. But they walked past me as if they hadn't seen me.
I turned around and followed them, and saw the two of them walking into an antique shop, arm in arm, talking and laughing. I stopped in front of the store and paid special attention to the name of this antique store - Qingcheng Antique Store.
This antique shop looks like it has seen better days. There was a pretty middle-aged woman wearing a cheongsam standing in front of a cabinet in the store, greeting them with a smile. Soon, the woman took out an old box from the back room. But Jiang Yue and Zeng Ke didn't open it.
The camera suddenly turned, and I seemed to have fallen into another memory of Jiang Yue. They returned to their home in Xiluyuan, and Zeng Ke couldn't wait to open the box. I took a closer look and found that the box actually contained a huge wooden sculpture that looked like a Ganoderma lucidum. The wood carving actually flashed a red light. But this scene did not attract their attention. Zeng Ke happily placed the wood carving in a cabinet in the study.
I accidentally touched the desk, and unexpectedly found that the green plants on the desk withered quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. To his surprise, the scene in front of him changed again.
Jiang Yue was standing in the living room wearing a white sportswear. She angrily said to Zeng Ke: "Why don't you throw away that broken wooden sculpture? It will harm us!"
Zeng Ke frowned. He lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and took a puff quietly. His silence made Jiang Yue even angrier. Jiang Yue rushed into the study and opened the cupboard door frantically. Zeng Ke realized that she might have hit a rock, so he immediately threw away his unfinished cigarette and ran to stop her. But Jiang Yue already had the wood carving in her hand, and she threw it to the ground angrily.
As soon as the wooden sculpture fell to the ground, a blood-red mass was revealed inside. I seemed to see it squirm inadvertently. Regarding the previous scene, Jiang Yue was stunned, but Zeng Ke showed no expression.
Jiang Yue came back to her senses and asked in disbelief: "Did you already know that there was this thing in the wood carving?"
Zeng Ke remained silent.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiang Yue shouted, "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide it from me?"
Zeng Ke said nothing. He just squatted down silently and patiently picked up the fragments on the ground. Seeing that he didn't express anything, Jiang Yue slammed the door angrily and left.
Zeng Ke didn't catch up, he just carefully picked up the unknown bloody object.
As soon as Jiang Yue went out, tears fell from her face. She didn't understand why her former lover became like this. She cried accidentally, feeling lonely and helpless.
She walked a long way into the park and sat on a bench. She raised her head and looked at the crescent moon sadly. But she didn't notice at all that there was an additional figure in the grass not far away. Because of my short-sightedness, I can only see more clearly if I get closer.
Just when I reached the grass, the figure suddenly disappeared. I heard some movement behind me and turned around, only to see Jiang Yue get up and leave. As soon as she left the park, she walked towards Yujian Road. I followed him uneasily.
There are few pedestrians on Yujian Road. I followed Jiang Yue closely, but found a girl walking towards me. I couldn't help but move forward, slowly approaching her. After I saw her face clearly, I was stunned for a few seconds before I realized: isn't this me?
Then, as expected, Jiang Yue will...
A strong wind blew, and the sand blown from nowhere fascinated the eyes of "me" on the other side. I didn't have time to think too much and looked around for Jiang Yue. In a daze, I saw her walking to the middle of the road with a numb expression. At this moment, a car passed by at high speed, and its piercing horn almost pierced my eardrums.
I shouted Jiang Yue's name, but I suddenly remembered that nothing I could do now would help. Jiang Yue had fallen into a pool of blood. Her white sweatshirt was dyed red and white. A middle-aged man with a mustache got out of the car in a panic to see Jiang Yue. After confirming that Jiang Yue was dead, he took several steps back in fright. He got into the car tremblingly, stepped on the accelerator and left quickly. I took note of the license plate number as best I could in the few seconds just now. I thought about going to the police station and calling the police as soon as I got back.
It turned out that when I was rubbing my eyes that night, Jiang Yue was hit by a car. The most suspicious thing is, why did Jiang Yue walk to the middle of the road? It was as if she was being controlled. Could it be that the person in the grass just did it?
A soft voice broke the silence.
"Do you need help?"
"I" who was still rubbing my eyes nodded quickly: "The wind just blew the sand into my eyes. Can you help me blow it?"
I watched Jiang Yue patiently blow the sand out of "my" eyes. I don't know why, but the clear look in her eyes was completely different from the look in her eyes when she rushed to the car. But she still acted as if nothing had happened. Didn't she know that something had happened to her at that time?
"Thank you so much." The "I" looked at her with a smile.
"It's okay." Jiang Yue smiled slightly.
"I" stretched out my hand to rub my eyes, but she quickly stretched out her hand to stop me and said, "Don't rub it, there are bacteria on your hands."
What happened next was exactly the same as that night.
The scene changed again at this time. It was like I fell into a huge black hole and couldn't see anything. It was so depressing. Suddenly, Jiang Yue's hysterical crying came to her ears.
A familiar ghostly and ethereal voice penetrated into my ears: "Are you awake?"
At this time, a beam of light came from nowhere and illuminated the darkness. A woman wearing a blood-red dress fell from the sky. The clothes looked very noble, with a phoenix embroidered with gold thread. Her black hair is like a waterfall, draped over her shoulders, like a fairy. Although she is wearing a veil, her eyes that sparkle with autumn water are really hard to take away.
Jiang Yue stood up from the ground and asked, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. But I can help you get out of this endless cycle." She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yue in front of her arrogantly.
"Then how do I get out?" Jiang Yue still gave in.
The woman stretched out her jade hand, touched her hair, and chuckled: "I can help you come out, and I can even help you revive. But you must promise me one thing - kill Zeng Ke."
Jiang Yue looked at her in surprise, and then said resolutely: "I would rather fall into this endless darkness than kill him. I will not agree to you."
After hearing this, she actually clapped her hands and laughed, looking at Jiang Yue sarcastically: "Aren't you curious why he didn't throw that thing away?" The woman approached her step by step, and Jiang Yue did not step back, but Jiang Yue's eyes were no longer in the beginning. So determined. She pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
"He wants to kill you. Don't you know? Men don't have a good thing. He knew that the wooden carving contained ancient blood Tai Sui, but he still spent a lot of money to buy it. All he wanted was your money , your beauty. But after getting it, he doesn't cherish you, does he?" The woman in red sneered.
"There is no such thing. Why should I believe you?" Jiang Yue turned her head and avoided her eyes.
The woman in red waved her sleeves, and the scene of Jiang Yue being hit by a car appeared in front of her. Jiang Yue was startled, but quickly calmed down. She watched intently as she died.
But the scene when the driver got out of the car shocked Jiang Yue and me. The person who got out of the car was actually Zeng Ke!
Jiang Yue shook her head in disbelief, but her tears had long betrayed her inner collapse.
This was all a scam by that woman. She just wanted Jiang Yue to kill Zeng Ke. I stamped my feet anxiously, wanting to tell Jiang Yue the truth, but she couldn't hear me.
The woman in red turned her face sideways and continued to say in her bewitching and ethereal voice: "You should believe it now, right? He killed you and caused you to walk in this endless loop of Yujian Road. I can let him You are resurrected, but you have to kill Zeng Ke."
Jiang Yue's eyes suddenly became dull. The woman in red whispered a few words in her ear, and she followed the woman in red like a puppet on strings.
"Go ahead and kill him."
Not far away, there suddenly appeared a corpse exuding a foul smell. I took a closer look and realized that Jiang Yue's almost rotting body was lying on the ground. She walked over and lay down, becoming one with the body.
The woman in red quietly placed a letter in Jiang Yue's hand. Jiang Yue's eyes opened suddenly, and then she stood up, walked forward mechanically, and disappeared in a huge circle of light.
I always feel like there is a pair of eyes watching me from behind. But I didn't dare to look back, and I didn't have time to look back. The scene turned and Jiang Yue had returned to Xiluyuan. It seems that she is going to find Zeng Ke. But the strange thing was that as soon as she approached the door of her house, a golden light shot out of the door. Jiang Yue took several steps back in fear. Later, she turned around and disappeared.
Next, it was time to find me to deliver the letter. I don't want to repeat this memory again. For me, this is simply a lifelong psychological shadow.
