Chapter 1104 The Bride-to-Be

On New Year's Day, at midnight, at a crossroads, it was raining heavily and neon lights were flashing.

A silver centipede streaked across the sky, and lightning struck the wet high-voltage line. For a moment, fireworks bloomed and all the lights went out.

When the neon lights disappeared, a figure with long hair and rain all over his body dragged his bleeding right leg and walked forward with difficulty.

There was nothing on his body except blood and water. He was alone and infinitely lonely.

At the crossroads, the streets were washed by rain again and again, and the traffic lines were shining with a brand new white. After the traffic lights went out, the first person came here.

The man stood in the center of the cross, and the water flow hit his soles layer by layer, and then dispersed after touching, and gathered at a farther position.

There was no sound in his ears, as if even the wind had stopped, but the rain hitting his face was endless.

The wet long hair stuck to his cheeks, making it difficult to see his appearance, but the bright red shining from the hair made him look particularly weird.

He looked up as if he was taking a deep breath calmly, and at the same time, a shiny short knife appeared in his right hand, with a straight grip.

In this grip, the tip of the knife was facing inwards, and slowly moved to the heart.

At the same time, only in his perspective, there appeared two figures staring at him in the rainstorm.

The figure was one big and one small. The short-haired young man was holding the blue-gray boy, and both had gentle smiles on their faces, staring at the man quietly.

…

At the same time, at the end of the funeral street, there was a fork in the road, and Huang Banxian seemed to be facing a difficult choice.

Huang Banxian's white body had completely disappeared, but he didn't know whether the face was still there.

Because only Ji Li could see that face.

What he was hesitating about now was whether he really wanted to continue to follow Ji Li?

Although Gan Mu was still uncomfortable at the moment, it was much better than before and could still hold on. This seemed to be a signal.

Huang Banxian guessed that it was very likely that Ji Li's situation had been finalized by the ghost, so he didn't particularly need him, the origin of the wood.

Since he is no longer important, should he still stir up this mess?

"That kid, come and help me."

Just as Huang Banxian was thinking, a weak shout came from the alley on the right.

At the deserted street corner, it was obvious that the "kid" the other party was referring to was Huang Banxian.

Huang Banxian recognized the other party's identity and was originally planning to ignore it, but then he received a call.

When he saw the number, his expression was slightly startled, and he paused for two seconds before answering it.

"Miss Mei, is there anything?"

He deliberately used a relatively stable tone to answer, just to pretend that he was not involved.

But Mei Sheng broke his defense with just one sentence.

"Huang Banxian, I have a sin object. If you draw someone's portrait, they will die in three minutes, regardless of whether they are human or ghost."

Huang Banxian's pretended calmness was immediately torn apart. He was so angry that his beard almost flew up, and he cursed:

"Mei, I have no grudge against you!"

"Ji Li must be by your side. Don't think about escaping. You must help me."

If it were before, Huang Banxian would not be afraid of Mei Sheng's sin object, but he did not expect things to be so complicated before he set out. He was completely involved in the mission.

So the sin objects he brought were some ordinary talismans in addition to the life-saving sin objects.

Now all the talismans were destroyed by rain. Once the life-saving sin objects were used, the cost would be unbearable for him who was not on a mission.

This led to Mei Sheng really holding him in his palm.

Huang Banxian knew that time was running out, and he only dared to suppress his temper for two seconds, but he still said unhappily:

"Ji Li is crazy, he ran away long ago, saying that he would give him the heart, what can I do to help him?"

"You don't need to do anything, just watch Ji Li send the heart out, and the root ghost will personally take the heart.

When it gets the heart, my sin will take effect, and the ghost will fall into a state of 'death'.

At that time, I want you to dig out its five internal organs."

Mei Sheng's tone was calm, showing her confident attitude.

But Huang Banxian gritted his teeth, he was basically an outsider, but now he had to do the last link of the mission.

It's okay for Gu Xingjian and Ji Li to play him like a monkey, but Mei Sheng, who is younger than his daughter in age, also uses him as a knife.

"What if I fail?"

Mei Sheng was cold and indifferent, and blurted out:

"Then everyone will die, but before that I will use the sinning object to drag you to be buried with me."

Huang Banxian was so angry that he almost threw his phone, and his teeth creaked, but he could only hold back his anger, and finally cursed:

"They are all crazy!"

"Help me up quickly, a car just hit me and the long-haired guy.

That kid has run far away as if nothing happened, it's too late if we don't chase him."

Zhang Huairen's call for help continued, he had reason to be anxious, because once Ji Li got into trouble, his fate would really be determined.

Huang Banxian glanced at the alley with a bad eye, walked inside, and said as he walked:

"You little old man are a few years older than me, and you keep calling that kid..."

...

Everything at the intersection was exactly the same as the vision that Gu Xingjian saw.

In the picture called "Eternal Life", the figure standing in the wind and rain with a lame leg and a heart gouged out is Ji Li one day later.

Li Congrong's artificial eye, in his hands, can only predict the tasks of his own branch.

But Gu Xingjian can actually spoil any branch mission.

What a powerful and terrifying force this is, and what a great influence it has on Gu Xingjian, who is always good at planning.

The event is exactly as predicted.

Ji Li tore open his shirt, and the front chest was full of dark red fire, and on the back was a "suppressing schizophrenia talisman" washed by rain.

This talisman has no effect, at least not yet.

Ji Li's mind has been completely torn into two halves, and now the leader is the most reckless and irrational half.

Because the evil spirit is in the body, the main ghost side, digging out the heart is nothing, at least this side has the evil spirit in the body, and it will not die in a short time.

But for Ji Li, the evil spirit will retreat sooner or later, and when his consciousness returns, he will die immediately, irreversibly.

The skin outside the heart has been cut by a knife, and the blood is not obvious, because the heavy rain will quickly wash it away.

Most of Ji Li's face was covered by his long hair, so it was hard to see what expression he was making now. The hand holding the knife was so steady that it was frightening.

A long knife wound turned his skin and flesh inside out, and the rainwater flowed into his heart through the cracks.

The silent street seemed to have heard the sound of a beating heart, and the darkness was filled with a strong sense of death after being suppressed.

"Dangdang..."

The knife was thrown on the ground after being useless, splashing a small piece of water.

When Ji Li put his hand into his chest and grasped the weakly beating heart, the unique fragrance of Manjusri began to spread.

The fragrance temporarily covered the dampness of the rain, and the water splashed by the falling knife formed a bouquet in the air, as if it had really become a blooming flower.

Time seemed to have fallen into a slow flow at this moment.

A red petal fell slowly from the sky at an inopportune time, and all the raindrops would dodge before touching it, and the wind could not blow the flower away.

A red petal broke into the black and white world, becoming the only color, looking abrupt and enchanting.

When Ji Li's bloody eyes looked at the red petal, the world became slow and still.

After the first flower fell, more and more petals fell, showing a sign of covering the rainstorm, all falling on Ji Li's body and surroundings.

Ji Li in the red petals seemed to have attended a stunning wedding banquet, and in the center of the flower rain, he seemed to be the male protagonist.

In the falling flower rain, a blurred face gradually became clear.

When the red flowers covered her body, the graceful and dignified woman seemed to be wearing a wedding dress, with a red cloth on her head, and walked towards Ji Li.

Between the cold rain and the flower rain, the bride's appearance became clearer and clearer, including the eye-catching teardrop mole under her right eye.

Li Huanyi, the bride who had been dead for more than a hundred years, came to protect her fiancé.
