Chapter 29 Death(1/2)

Author: Demon Tower Tower

It's dawn.

Xiaoxia stretched out and looked outside the door, fearing that the bad guy was hiding somewhere and waiting for an opportunity to attack again.

Zhu Xiaozhou leaned against the shelf and looked at Xiao Xia worriedly.

"Zhouzhou, have you thought about how to explain it to her?" Xiao Wenxuan asked.

After keeping watch all night, it was time to make it clear.

But Zhu Xiaozhou had no idea, so he sighed again.

"Sister, brother - thank you." After Xiaoxia confirmed that it was safe, she thanked Zhu Xiaozhou and Xiao Wenxuan and prepared to leave. "Then I will leave first."

"Eh——"

Zhu Xiaozhou's voice was stuck in his throat, and he tried to stretch out his hand, but failed to stop Xiaoxia who opened the door and walked out.

Xiaoxia just went out and stepped on the pavement outside the door.

After taking a few steps, in the blink of an eye——

He actually returned to Qiyundang.

"What's going on?" Xiaoxia looked around confusedly, turned around, and saw Zhu Xiaozhou and Xiao Wenxuan again.

Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Xiaoxia distressedly, while Xiao Wenxuan looked at Zhu Xiaozhou distressedly.

"Zhouzhou——"

"Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou, are you bothered?" Bai Yuan couldn't listen anymore. Every time Xiao Wenxuan called Zhou Zhou, he would tear Xiao Wenxuan to pieces in his heart.

But I’m also really envious.

Xiao Wenxuan has not known Zhu Xiaozhou for a long time, but he can naturally...

Get close to Zhu Xiaozhou.

That's what he couldn't do despite trying many times.

You can only watch helplessly as Xiao Wenxuan and Zhu Xiaozhou become closer and closer.

"Maybe I was distracted just now." Xiaoxia smiled awkwardly, thinking that she was hysterical. She pushed open the door of Qiyundang with one hand, "Brother, sister-goodbye!"

The person who had just said goodbye and stepped out of the door was back in Qiyundang in the blink of an eye.

This time, Xiaoxia finally realized something.

She looked at her hands in horror, trying to figure out what was happening.

"Tell her."

Xiao Wenxuan ignored Bai Yuan and looked at Zhu Xiaozhou intently.

He knew that Zhu Xiaozhou must be very conflicted at this moment and unable to make a choice immediately.

Zhu Xiaozhou looked back at Xiao Wenxuan, their eyes facing each other, as if he wanted to get an answer from Xiao Wenxuan.

Bai Yuan saw it in his eyes.

With a pinch of his fingers, the brocade box on the shelf next to Zhu Xiaozhou suddenly fell to the ground.

This disturbed Zhu Xiaozhou, who was already restless.

She hurriedly knelt down and checked whether the pawn items in the brocade box were damaged, without realizing at all -

This is Bai Yuan's little move.

But Xiao Wenxuan noticed it. He glanced at Bai Yuan and said, "Childish."

How old are you to still play such little tricks?

What was dug out of the box was a strange bronze mirror. The surface of the mirror was very blurry, and it could only barely show the outline of a person, but not the facial features at all.

After carefully sorting it out and making sure that the item was in good condition, Zhu Xiaozhou put the bronze mirror back into the box and carefully put it back on the shelf——

Waiting for its owner to redeem it.

"Sister, I, I don't know, what's wrong with me?" Xiao Xia asked Zhu Xiaozhou for help in a panic.

She really couldn't understand how it could become so strange.

"Actually, when you came in last night, I wanted to tell you—"

Zhu Xiaozhou knew that the matter had reached a point where he could no longer hide it, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

When Xiaoxia came in last night.

She is no longer human.

As Zhu Xiaozhou expected, Xiaoxia burst into tears after learning the truth.

Zhu Xiaozhou stayed by her side to comfort her.

Xiaoxia couldn't accept the fact that she suddenly turned into a ghost.

".Why? Why is this happening, sister, how--how, how did I die?"

"I don't know about this -" Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Xiao Xia.

Then, she saw the faint bruises on Xiaoxia's neck.

After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately called them to confirm, "Do you think this is -"

Xiao Wenxuan and Bai Yuan came over.

When Xiaoxia looked up, she suddenly saw Bai Yuan——

At that time, my face changed color with fear.

She never thought that there was another person in this small shop - "person"?

"Don't be afraid, this is Xiao Wenxuan, whom you have seen." Zhu Xiaozhou then gestured in the direction of Bai Yuan, "That's Bai Yuan."

"Brother, was he here last night? Why didn't I see him last night?"

"Ah, this." Zhu Xiaozhou scratched his head, "He, his situation is similar to yours."

After saying that, I saw Xiaoxia's face turned a little gloomier.

"No, no, I didn't mean that-" Zhu Xiaozhou explained quickly.

Xiao Wenxuan was relatively calm. "Xiao Xia, do you really not remember anything?"

He tried to recall Xiaoxia's last memory.

The bruises on Xiaoxia's neck already indicated the cause of her death. She was strangled to death.

And last night, she ran into the store in a panic, claiming that she was being chased by bad guys. I'm afraid——

She didn't know at the time that she had been killed.

Xiaoxia tried hard to recall the memories of last night.

She only remembered that her midterm exam results came in yesterday, and she did not do well in the exam, so she stayed in school after studying in the evening, did an extra night of self-study, and wrote two more papers.

After catching the last bus home, she got off the car and walked along the path to her family's courtyard as usual.

"As I was walking, I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I was very scared. I felt that he was following me," Xiaoxia said.

"Then what?" Zhu Xiaozhou asked.

"Then -" Xiao Xia continued to think about it, "Then, I wanted to see what he looked like, me. Next, I didn't know what happened. When I realized it, I kept running, trying to find someone to save me.

I--"

Then, she came to Qiyundang.

"Apparently, it was during the period when her memory was blank that she encountered a vicious attack." Xiao Wenxuan said.

Zhu Xiaozhou thought of something and quietly sneaked to Bai Yuan's side, forcing out a "flattery" smile.

"Last time, couldn't you send Lu Jing's soul into Ding Manman's body and resurrect her? Then -"

"no."

Bai Yuan knew what she was going to say and refused.

Zhu Xiaozhou looked regretful. She really felt sorry for this girl who died unjustly.

But Xiaoxia's situation is different from that of Lu Jing and Ding Manman.

Ding Manman was killed by the restraint on Zhu Xiaozhou, while Xiaoxia was killed by people in this world. She is already dead in this world.

Seeing that Bai Yuan was resolute, Zhu Xiaozhou stopped interceding.

"Sister, my grandma is still at home, can you help me go see her?" Xiaoxia asked.

I have not yet recovered from the fact that I have died violently, but now the person I am most worried about is my grandmother at home.

"good."

Zhu Xiaozhou agreed.
