Chapter 136 His Skull is a Trophy
"you……!!!"
Noila Mo's breath got stuck in her throat;
"are you crazy!!"
"What's crazy? Didn't I tell you that he's my boyfriend? What's wrong with living with me?"
Ji Ran replied with a meaningless tone.
"If you don't know everything...know everything...how can you still have a boyfriend!"
Noila Mo tried hard to hold back for a long time but couldn't form a complete sentence, so she stood up with her wine glass in hand and walked quickly towards the wine cabinet.
Ji Ran lowered his eyes. Xiao Hua indeed knew that Qi Mu was a ghost.
It seems like more and more people know about this, and I feel more and more uneasy.
She moved forward again, pressing herself against the man's cold chest, and only then did she feel a sense of security.
Qi Mu was startled, and sensing her uneasiness, he hugged her tighter.
"How much do you know?"
Ji Ran's tone suddenly became much colder, and he stopped being so nonchalant.
“How do I know how much I know?” Noila Mo put the red wine glass on the bar and reminded proudly,
"If that's the case, how can your research project succeed if you can't even extract the DNA of your research subject? Don't show off at the press conference and then end up with no results and make a big fool of yourself. Just wait for the ridicule of others~"
Hearing this sarcastic tone, Ji Ran was not moved at all. Instead, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows.
"You...care about me so much?"
Noila Mo froze, and her face suddenly became hot again.
"Heh~ Who cares about you? Have some shame!"
Then, the phone was hung up unexpectedly.
Noila Mo was so angry that she laughed. She took out the wine bottle and poured herself another half glass of Lafite, but one hand subconsciously fanned the heat on her face.
It's so funny, she doesn't care about that damn girl!
Ji Ran looked at the hung up call, shrugged nonchalantly, threw the phone behind him, and immediately walked forward and hugged the man's waist.
But she still couldn't help wondering.
"…How did she know that?"
Even Jiang Baishen only knew that Qi Mu was her neighbor and knew nothing else. How come Xiaohua knew about it after only meeting her twice?
"She saw me." The magnetic voice replied lightly.
Ji Ran raised his head suddenly, "She can see you?!"
"Hmm~" the man confirmed.
Hearing this, Ji Ran fell into deep thought.
The fact that she could see Qi Mu and immediately determine his true identity could only mean that she discovered that other people around her could not see Qi Mu.
So, what Jiang Baishen told her was probably something she found strange so she asked about it herself.
Then, could it be possible that she...had already revealed it to others without realizing it...
Qi Mu saw his girl frowning, so he reached out and gently stroked her cheek, "What are you afraid of? Huh?"
Ji Ran raised his eyes, full of worry, "If Zeng Nian knew..."
"Fool~" Qi Mu's expression was calm and unperturbed, "What can he do if he knows."
“If you know…” Ji Ran was suddenly speechless.
Yes, it seems that there is nothing we can do.
"No, what if he finds a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, or simply goes to Tyrande to ask some little ghosts to come back..." Ji Ran started to feel anxious again.
The man was startled and couldn't help laughing. He raised his eyebrows and sighed, "Oh~ what should I do?"
Ji Ran thought he was scared, so he immediately raised himself up and lay on his chest, looking into his eyes seriously.
"Don't be afraid! I will definitely protect you!"
Qi Mu pulled hard on her chest, and he raised his hand to stroke her messy hair.
"Good~"
Ji Ran didn't just talk about it, his little head was already thinking about whether it was possible to kill Zeng Nian.
"Since you can't kill Zeng Nian, then I will uh..." Ji Ran dimmed his eyes.
Qi Mu was so shocked that his pupils were shocked, and he subconsciously covered her mouth.
"Don't let your imagination run wild!"
What vicious words is this damn girl saying?
He would never give her pure hands the chance to be stained with dirt.
Ji Ran blinked innocently, but soon became curious again.
She took the cold hand off her mouth and held it in her hand, then started to ask
"Oh, right. How did you find out... that it was related to Zeng Nian?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Mu immediately recalled the familiar yet unfamiliar powerful unknown energy that made him afraid to approach.
"He should have something on him that involves my entire magnetic field." Qi Mu replied.
"The entire magnetic field?" Ji Ran asked in surprise, "Is that good or bad?"
Qi Mu shook his head calmly, "There is no good or bad energy, only repulsion or absorption. However, if the energy difference is too great, it will be swallowed up directly."
Ji Ran frowned, and after understanding the relationship between these energies, he felt inexplicably heavy. "So, you suspect that he took something very important to you? So important that it could affect your magnetic field."
Qi Mu stared at his smart girl with his eyes twinkling, and nodded, "I just can't think of what kind of thing is so precious that it can store such strong energy."
Ji Ran's mind immediately flashed back to the incongruous blood-red bone ring on Zeng Nian's hand. Combined with his previous guess, his eyes were suddenly filled with a strong sense of heartbreak. He clasped the coldness in his hand with his fingertips and took a deep breath.
"Is it possible... that it's not something valuable, but... but..."
Still couldn't say it out loud, such a cruel thing, such a cruel thing for her Qi Mu...
The mist had already blurred her eyes, and a tear suddenly fell out, hitting the man's empty chest.
It was like a huge meteorite hitting his heart hard.
Qi Mu looked at her inexplicable pain and sadness, raised his hand distressedly and hurriedly wiped her tears.
"What's wrong? Ranran?"
Ji Ran did not answer, but with tears in her eyes, she gently reached out and stroked the left corner of his forehead.
Qi Mu was suddenly stunned, thinking about what she had just said.
Not something valuable, but...
He himself...?
In other words, Zeng Nian really hated him to the extreme. Not only did he torture him to death in a cruel way, but he even kept his skull with him and admired it like a trophy?
But seeing the girl in front of him with tears on her face, Qi Mu felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart. He sat up, hugged the girl tightly in his arms, and smiled lightly.
"Why are you crying? Crybaby."
The more indifferent he was, the more distressed she felt.
The further he goes, the more his broken self is pieced together, and the more cruel truths he has to face.
But he still cares about her sadness.
What is her sadness?
Apart from accompanying him to face everything, it seemed that she could only feel sad.
Her heart ached more and more, so she stood up and sat on him, hugging his neck tightly. She also wanted to hold him in her arms and protect him well, just like him.
But she was so small and weak.
I tried my best to bury my face in his shoulder and sob silently without stopping.
Qi Mu patted the girl's back with concern.
"Of course, don't be sad, okay?"
