"Is it Jin Cheng possessed by the 'shadow' in the mental hospital?"
Zhao Er shook his head.
"'Shadow' has no ability to possess, it can only seize the body."
"When the 'Shadow' takes over the body, they will regain their 'identity' and become a normal person, and normal people cannot do those things."
"There are many secrets in Xiangchun Mental Hospital. You know only ten or ten of them. Even I don't know many things. So there are always people guarding here, and they are very strict. An ordinary mental patient can't Get out of here under the noses of the guards.”
Ning Qiushui touched her chin.
"It's not a 'shadow', is it a 'ghost'?"
"I remember that 'ghosts' seem to only be able to move in some special areas."
Zhao Er said:
"Not entirely. A small number of them can leave for a short time. As long as they possess a living person, they can move outside for a long time. You can ask Hong You to check for you. She is different from me. I have to stay in this mentally ill place. The reasons are in the courtyard, but she can leave at any time. Now she is bound by your "Old Owner", and she must be loyal to you if she wants to survive."
"And she can see things that ordinary people can't see. If you want to find a 'ghost', she should be able to help a lot."
Ning Qiushui nodded.
Hong You's voice came from the room, and the two pushed the door open. The former was standing in the corner wearing a striped hospital gown that didn't fit well, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
"Should I take her out now?"
Ning Qiushui looked at Hong You and said.
"No need for now, she has other ways to get out of here."
"If you need her help in the future, it is best to go directly to the "old site" of your hut to find her. The "Old Site Owner" who gave her the identity can bring her directly to the "old site" through "summoning" .”
Ning Qiushui raised her eyebrows.
This is a pretty good ability.
As long as the lady in black speaks, he can directly see Hong You from the church in "The Dirty Land".
"It's quite convenient... Hong You, go find a ghost for me."
Hong You was suddenly attracted by Ning Qiushui and said "Ah", her face still a little confused:
"Looking for ghosts, what ghosts?"
Ning Qiushui said:
"The one that possessed Jin Cheng a few days ago and assassinated Bai Xiaoxiao."
Hearing the name Bai Xiaoxiao, Hong You's expression changed:
"Bai Xiaoxiao is your friend?"
Ning Qiushui smiled:
"Go if you are told, don't ask so many questions."
"It's best to just take these two days. The sooner the better. If you need any special help, please call me at any time."
"Do you have any other questions?"
Hong You shook his head.
While Ning Qiushui was searching for her "identity", Zhao Er had already told her the detailed rules about forging an identity. Now her identity was "borrowed". If Ning Qiushui didn't want to, then she could just find someone who gave her the identity. If the owner of the old site takes back her identity, she will become a "shadow" again.
Unless she wanted to die, she could never betray Ning Qiushui.
"That's it, I'll wait for your news."
Ning Qiushui threw the cigarette butt out of the window and was about to leave when she heard Hong You ask from behind:
"Then what about my status in 'Rashomon'?"
"Wu Wen returned to this world with the help of Chen Shouxi. The leader of Rashomon will definitely ask her. When Wu Wen comes, she will definitely say that everyone except herself has died behind the door."
"Then what does my appearance mean?"
"Once the superiors sense something is wrong, they will immediately target me."
Ning Qiushui put her hands in her pockets:
"Find a trustworthy subordinate to take your place, and then give me her information, and I will make this person disappear forever at the right time and for the right reason."
"From now on, you will be her, and you will continue to work for Rashomon."
Hong You's face looked ugly.
"It means that from today on, I will always be a puppet living in the shadows, right?"
Ning Qiushui:
"If you don't want to, I can find someone else."
After saying that, he shook the key in his hand, smiled slightly and left directly.
Hong You stood in Zhao Er's room, watching Ning Qiushui's back walk into the elevator, clenching his fists first, and then slowly loosening them.
"Is there a way to get out of his control?"
"I have some power in Rashomon... If you help me, I can help you."
After a long time, Hong You turned to look at Zhao Er, with a look in his eyes asking for help.
Zhao Er still had a weird smile on his face.
"I want to escape from his control... give up my 'identity' and become a 'shadow'."
Hearing this, Hong You stopped talking.
Zhao Er walked to the window, holding a water glass:
"Being able to be used as a dog to others at least shows that you still have value. You have been a 'shadow' before, and you know how many 'people' there are in this hospital who want to replace you."
"The world is like this. The weak are not qualified to fight for their own rights in front of the strong."
Hong You raised his head, stared at Zhao Er seriously, and responded:
"That's why you keep entering the blood gate and dealing with death, just to be able to get rid of control one day?"
On the glass window, Zhao Er's smile grew stronger.
Even with some evil nature.
"No."
"I told Ning Qiushui before that I am different from 'them', and now I tell you that you and I are also different."
"I never lost my freedom."
"This path... I chose it myself."
…
Not long after Ning Qiushui left the mental hospital, he received a call from Bai Xiaoxiao, who asked him to go to Rosemary Manor and cook for him.
Meng Jun will also come.
As soon as Ning Qiushui heard the word Meng Jun, he knew that Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to tell them about "Rashomon". Without hesitation, he took a taxi directly to Rosemary.
When the security guard at the door saw Ning Qiushui, he immediately put on a smile. This was not the first time for Ning Qiushui to come here. It was not easy to get involved with the people inside. He could come to Rosemary and work as a security guard. I still have some discernment.
If you stop the opponent once or twice, you are doing your duty.
Stopping me over and over again is a sign of being short-sighted.
"Mr. Ning, please wait a moment. I'll register you here, and then you can go in."
The security guard introduced Ning Qiushui into the office very enthusiastically. After a brief registration, he personally took Ning Qiushui into Rosemary Manor.
"If you have any orders, please call us at any time."
Ning Qiushui thanked the security guard and then came to Bai Xiaoxiao's private villa.
In addition to the fragrance of flowers and plants, you can also vaguely smell the aroma of braised pork ribs.
Pushing the door open, Meng Jun has not come yet. Bai Xiaoxiao is busy in the kitchen alone. Her red and purple old woman's apron is a little crooked and looks a little funny.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Bai Xiaoxiao said without looking back:
"...You are here. Sit down first. When Brother Jun arrives at noon, we can talk while eating."
Ning Qiushui rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen.
"Do you need any help?"
"Well...if you have time, help me wash the vegetables."
"OK."
