Chapter 111 In the dark
Chapter 111 In the dark
Aunt Wu almost leaned against the door to eavesdrop. After hearing what Jiang Ning said, she was suddenly shocked.
I thought: Oh no, the lady has gone crazy too.
Aunt Wu quickly called Li Yiming and told him the current situation:
"Sir, it's not good. Miss might have been in trouble. I just heard her talking to herself in the room. When I came out, I saw clearly that she was alone in the room. What should I do now?"
Li Yiming on the other side of the phone obviously didn't quite believe it. He hesitated for a moment at first, but still gave himself a heads-up.
He said to his aunt:
"Ah? If that's the case, I'll have to ask some powerful masters to come over. So, just protect your own safety first, and don't worry about anything else. I'll give you this right."
Aunt Wu: "Okay, thank you sir, you must come back as soon as possible!"
The aunt hung up the phone, then walked back and forth in the reception room outside with her phone in hand. She didn't dare let Jiang Ning find her, so she couldn't make too much noise.
Jiang Ning was still struggling with the puppy, unaware that danger was approaching quietly.
The atmosphere between the two people in the room was not much better.
Jiang Ning was still lying in bed with her eyes closed, but she couldn't sleep. Her mind was full of all the strange things that had happened during this period. Now she urgently needed a timeline to help her sort out all of this.
She almost counted from the beginning on her fingers.
At first, Jiang Ning wanted to go out for a trip, and Gu Yuan tried to stop him, but Jiang Ning didn't listen.
But later, Gu Yuan came to the place where she was traveling to find her, but he left after staying for less than a day.
What followed was the strange things that Jiang Ning encountered, and the thief who almost took her life.
Jiang Ning always felt that there was some mysterious connection between them, but he could never find a breakthrough.
She pounded her pillow angrily, thinking that maybe the person involved was confused, while the bystander could see clearly. She was deeply involved in it, so she couldn't see it.
So she wanted to find a bystander to tell her what outsiders thought. Now the only normal person in the villa was Aunt Wu.
She walked to the door, knocked twice from the inside, and shouted:
"Aunt Wu? Are you outside?"
Aunt Wu was also frightened by Jiang Ning. She was also afraid and didn't know whether to answer yes or no.
So he hesitated at the door for a long time, and finally Jiang Ning opened the door and appeared in front of Jiang Ning.
Aunt Wu was so scared that she immediately covered her head and ran away. Jiang Ning was wondering why Aunt Wu was fine just now, but became like this now?
Jiang Ning walked step by step to Aunt Wu. She kept backing away as Jiang Ning moved forward, as if she was very afraid of her.
She asked doubtfully:
"Aunt? What's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you look like you've seen a ghost?"
Aunt Wu was still retreating frantically, but finally she had nowhere to retreat and hid behind a sofa.
He kept muttering:
"Don't come over here, please don't come over here, stay away from me, I have never hurt you, if you want revenge you can't come to me..."
Jiang Ning couldn't understand it even more.
The puppy used his own skills to hide the half-exposed arm, then floated to Jiang Ning and said to her:
"Oh no, I didn't pay attention to her when we were talking just now. Maybe she was listening at the door. If she really heard our conversation, she would definitely think you are a psychopath."
Jiang Ning suddenly realized what was going on, but now he probably didn't think Aunt Wu would believe him no matter how he explained it.
At the critical moment, Jiang Ning thought of a "shameless" method.
She pretended to cry, muttering as she cried:
"Auntie, you don't know what kind of environment I came from. No one talked to me when I was a child, so I kept talking to myself. I might have scared you. I'm really sorry, but I didn't mean it..."
Coupled with Jiang Ning's earth-shattering and soul-stirring acting skills, Aunt Wu was indeed moved.
She came out from behind the sofa, but her face was still defensive, and she was still unwilling to believe what Jiang Ning said directly.
So Jiang Ning started crying again. She cried with snot and tears, which made anyone who heard her sad and anyone who saw her cry.
Aunt Wu interrupted her and said:
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I believe what you said. I was scared too."
Jiang Ning got up from the ground, then sat on the sofa and said:
"Okay, I hope you can trust me."
For the next half hour or so, Aunt Wu stayed almost by Jiang Ning's side, fearing that Jiang Ning would mutate again, or that what she had just said was a lie.
While waiting for Li Yiming to come back, Jiang Ning told Aunt Wu about her and Gu Yuan, but she did not say that it was what happened to her personally, she just used pseudonyms.
Jiang Ning didn't hold out much hope at first. Judging from Aunt Wu's performance just now, she was also a timid person.
But Jiang Ning really didn't expect that Aunt Wu could sort out the matter so clearly.
It seemed that Jiang Ning's question touched upon her expertise. Aunt Wu sat upright and said to Jiang Ning in a serious tone:
"I think someone might have done this on purpose. Since you can clearly feel that this person's personality has changed so much, it definitely means that he is no longer the same person inside him."
The first sentence attracted Jiang Ning's attention.
Aunt Wu said seriously:
"I remember hearing a man we worked with say that there is a folk art of bringing back the dead, commonly known as 'taking possession of the body'."
Jiang Ning suddenly interrupted Aunt Wu. She felt that there was something suspicious:
"Then why didn't so many people notice it? Are all of them fools?"
Aunt Wu waved her hand. Her serious look made people feel that she was more professional than the master.
"No, listen to me first. People around you can't feel it at first, because the soul of one person hasn't been completely injected into the body of another person yet. But as the fusion gets deeper and deeper, you'll feel that the person's personality has changed drastically. This may be the situation you're talking about."
Jiang Ning nodded affirmatively, gave Aunt Wu a thumbs up, and praised:
"Oh, no wonder he felt so disconnected later on. But the man died in the end. Does that mean his soul is gone too?"
Aunt Wu picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip of water, and said:
"I don't know about that. Anyway, his original soul must have been squeezed out, and most people have unfulfilled wishes. Maybe he will find someone close to him to help him fulfill his wish."
Jiang Ning captured the key words in this sentence:
"The original soul has been squeezed out!"
Her eyes suddenly turned to the puppy. The puppy still looked innocent, but what Aunt Wu said seemed to hit the puppy right in the heart.
It looked at Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning immediately understood that what Aunt Wu said was true!
"Thank you, Auntie. The matter that has troubled me for so many days has finally been resolved. Please accept this as a small token of my appreciation."
Jiang Ning took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and gave it to Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu waved her hands repeatedly, not daring to continue. She said:
"Miss, you don't know that the master has done me a favor! I am here now to repay the master for saving my son. I will never take your things again!"
Jiang Ning paused for a moment, then put the gold bracelet directly on Aunt Wu's hand.
"Oh, I see. But he is him and I am me. The job he gave you is a job, and this is something extra from me. You should keep it, even if you use it as a dowry for your daughter-in-law in the future."
Aunt Wu still accepted it. She deeply understood a truth: if someone gives you something, you will be soft-hearted. If someone gives you something, you will be grateful. At this moment, the two of them were deeply bound together.
Jiang Ning went back to the room and took out his cell phone, and then he found that there were many missed calls on the phone. Basically, without exception, all of them were from Li Yiming.
However, Jiang Ning's phone has been on silent mode all year round, so it is normal that he cannot receive any messages.
She sent a WeChat message to Li Yiming to let him know she was safe, and then she ignored him.
Jiang Ning now has more respect for Aunt Wu. It is true that the wisdom of the working people is the greatest.
"Bang bang bang-"
There was a knock on the door. Jiang Ning subconsciously thought it was Li Yiming and went to open the door, but Aunt Wu stopped her.
Jiang Ning asked:
"What's wrong, Auntie?"
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wu said mysteriously:
"If the gentleman brought someone back, would he really knock on the door? He would definitely come in directly, right? So we don't know who is behind the door, so it's better for us not to act rashly."
