Panguan

The woman also had red eyes. She blinked a few times and said, It was just an accident.

After a long time, she added: Nothing else to blame, blame the heavy rain, blame me for not being careful.

With just one sentence, the man collapsed completely, holding her hand and crying again.

From the moment he got the death notice, he was spinning in this cage.

He repeated what he had done that day, ordering goods, sealing boxes, keeping accounts, fixing the time to heat up food, and then waited for Yue Qin to collect the car.

He kept waiting and waiting...

When it got dark, when half of the shops on the second and third floors were closed, when all the other shop owners had finished eating, even Mrs. Xu, who was usually the slowest, started eating, Yue Qin still didn't come.

On the contrary, there is another person, a strange woman, who comes to the third floor to look for someone at this point every day.

He didn't know the other person, didn't dare to look at the other person's face, and didn't want to meet the other person face to face.

Because he knew that if he saw it, he would never be able to eat this dinner again.

…

No one remembers how long Lao Song cried.

Time in the cage has always been like this. One second can last a long time, and a day can be completed in the blink of an eye.

As long as he cried, the woman stayed with him.

Finally, she stood up, got out of Zhang Biling, bowed and apologized to the confused opponent, then picked up the lunch box that had been cold and hot, hot and cold again, and said to Lao Song: Go and heat it up again, I'll accompany you. You finish this meal.”

Wenshi was always waiting by the side without any urging. After waiting for them to finish their meal, they said their goodbyes properly.

At that moment, they had a clear appearance of a couple - they said sorry to everyone who was trapped, and then quietly let go of all the evil spirits in their bodies.

Because Zhang Biling was possessed, she was not feeling well and was not suitable to be released from the cage. So the matter of resolving and dissolving still falls on Wenshi.

When the cage was released, the few innocent ordinary people who entered the cage had already begun to feel sleepy.

They sat leaning against the railing, their heads lowered, their eyelids twitching. Everything that happened in the cage became blurry the moment they closed their eyes, like a full-on dream.

Zhou Xu had a reluctant look on his face, but his legs and feet were very active. He poured a cup of hot water for Zhang Biling who was resting.

Xia Qiao responded to Zhou Xu's questions in a perfunctory manner.

Xie Wen stood not far away, looking at Wen Shi with his eyes lowered, taking the black mist covering the couple's body into his body, and then slowly dispelling it.

Before the woman disappeared, he heard Wen Shi's cold voice say to her: It rained heavily that day, thank you for your umbrella.

Xie Wen looked away, looked at the old patterns on the mall floor, and smiled silently.

Chapter 24 Zhang Lan

The that day in Wen Shi's words corresponds to the caged person's concept of time. In reality, it has not actually been that long.

When I came out of the cage, the heavy rain had just stopped, and water drops were dripping down the edge of the umbrella. They were still on the street in Xipingyuan. The shops on both sides were closed, so it should be very deserted.

As a result, when I heard it, I opened my eyes——

There was a crowd of people around.

They are all women, with long black and thick hair, blue and white faces, and yellow paper charms stuck to their foreheads.

Their eyes are almost completely white, except for a small dot in the middle that is black and does not turn around. The lips are bright red and curved upward, and the tongue falls out of the mouth and is longer than the hair.

Xia Qiao was arguing with Zhou Xu one second, and the next second he was face to face with these things. He said fuck and died on the spot.

The women didn't move, and Xia Qiao didn't dare to move either.

He silently grabbed Wen Shi's left arm and said with anger: Brother, are we out of the cage?

Before he could speak when he heard about it, Xie Wen said on his behalf: It's out.

Xia Qiao became even weaker: Then what are these?

He moved his lips when he smelled it.

Xie asked: Ghost.

Xia Qiao only stood up for a second, then grabbed Wen Shi's arm and slid to the ground silently.

When hearing it: ...

Although it was Xia Qiao who died, he felt that Xie Wen was the one who did it.

Do you have a grudge against me? Wenshi couldn't take out his left hand, so he had to hold the umbrella handle sideways and free his right hand to deal with the circle of female ghosts.

How could it be? Xie Wen denied it slowly, reaching over and holding the umbrella handle for him.

He was also wearing black gloves and was holding the bottom end of the umbrella handle, keeping a polite distance from Wen Shi's face.

But for some reason, when he saw the pale wrist, when he heard it, he suddenly remembered the warm touch of Xie Wen's fingers, and paused when he reached for the female ghost.

Raise your head. Xie Wen asked and let go. The rain has stopped. I'll close the umbrella.

After a second and no response, he asked in a low voice: What are you thinking about?

Hearing this, he suddenly came back to his senses.

He pursed his lips and straightened his neck, silently letting Xie Wen take the umbrella. Then he picked a female ghost and pulled off the talisman on her face.

The moment the talisman was taken off, the circle of female ghosts began to tremble, as if they were trying to break free from the seal and rush towards her.

He didn't care when he heard it and reached out to pick the second one.

As a result, someone muttered: Is it coming out now?

Then the female ghost dissipated into smoke before him and disappeared, leaving only seven talismans floating down gently and being caught by someone.

The person grabbing the paper was a man. He was very tall, with wheat-colored skin and a slim figure.

He is strong-willed and has short shaved hair. He looks like a practicing martial artist at first glance, but his expression is a little dull.
