The Exorcist

Chapter 49 A question

Sima Nan did not look back at Abai, but slowly walked to the tower door. Subconsciously, he wanted to stay away from her, and he also wanted to hit Ruan Zhan at close range.

"Hand over the stone!" Sima Nan growled, "I'll give you a good time."

"I don't like pleasure." Ruan Zhan didn't have the energy to speak, but he still didn't lower his head. There was no trace of fear or panic in his eyes. "If you have the ability, come and get it yourself!"

Sima Nan was furious. Not only did he want to get the stone and defeat Ruan Zhan, he also wanted to see his opponent's desperate and pleading eyes just before death. This kid is very tough, and having such an opponent fall at his feet will make him feel particularly accomplished. But Ruan Zhan stubbornly refused to admit defeat, which greatly reduced his joy of victory!

With a 'swish', he pulled out a white belt from his waist. The belt seemed to be made of the same material as his clothes, but as soon as it was taken off his body, it seemed to come alive. It danced gracefully and moved in the wind. The front end of the belt was held high, making it look like it was not a cloth belt. Rather, it looks like a silver-white demonic snake!

Sima Nan didn't speak, just stared into Ruan Zhan's eyes threateningly. He didn't want to be too cruel in front of Abai, but he had to get that stone!

The confrontation lasted for several seconds. Seeing that Ruan Zhan showed no sign of weakness, Sima Nan gritted his teeth and stepped to the door of the tower. He stretched out his hand and put out the white silk ribbon. He held one end in his hand and the other end pointed towards Ruan Zhan, before Ruan Zhan could react, the white silk ribbon seemed to come alive, accurately wrapped around his neck and pulled him to the tower door!

The feeling of suffocation immediately made Ruan Zhan unable to breathe. He subconsciously held the ribbon and tried to pull it open, but it became tighter and tighter as if it was glued to his skin, gradually squeezing the air in his chest. There must be no trace left!

"Give me the stone!" Sima Nan said again.

"No!" Ruan Zhan replied without thinking.

He did not have the stone, but if he said that the stone was not with him, Sima Nan would definitely force Abai. If Abai doesn't give it to him, he doesn't know what tricks he will resort to. If Abai gives it to him, and he fulfills his wish, it may bring greater disaster to people, including Xiaoxia and Wanli!

Also, Sima Nan must have used his clairvoyance to look at his whole body, and he must have found no trace of the stone that was not in his hand. Therefore, if he refused to tell the whereabouts of the stone, Sima Nan would not kill him easily, but would only torture him and slowly lose his mind. He wants to find a way while Sima Nan is in chaos. Unless it comes to the moment when he must commit suicide, he will never give up hope!

"You are looking for death!" Sima Nan gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

When he almost died and had no ability to resist, he actually smiled and said, "I'm going to die - whether I want to die or not - what difference does it make!"

Sima Nan really wanted to kill Ruan Zhan immediately, but he couldn't do it. After Ruan Zhan died, the stone was gone. Even if Abai could find it, he would not have the shame to ask her for it. He would not even dare to say a word to her.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he twisted his wrist. The snake-like ribbon suddenly swelled up as if it had barbs. Every time Sima Nan shook it, the barbs on the ribbon made a cut on Ruan Zhan's skin. Although it didn't hurt his life, it made him constantly injured and bleeding!

Sima Nan blocked the entrance of the tower, and others could not see the situation inside. Ruan Zhan endured and remained silent, so only he knew that it was just a threshold, but there was a huge difference between the inside and the outside.

While he is outside, his spiritual energy is not restricted and he can do whatever he wants. But Ruan Zhan, who is inside, not only has his spiritual energy sucked away, but also has physical problems, and has been injured by this round of fighting. The injury was added, and now it was completely meat on his chopping board, ready for him to slaughter!

But this kid is so stiff-necked, and he still doesn't lower his head at this time, which actually makes him feel unable to suppress himself. He knew that time could not be delayed for too long, otherwise it would be detrimental to him, so he couldn't help but be extremely anxious.

While using a ribbon to restrict Ruan Zhan's freedom, he used his other hand to inflict all the punishments he knew on Ruan Zhan one by one. He wanted Ruan Zhan to become weak because he could not bear the pain and torture. But he tried them all, and the result was still the same - it didn't work!

"That stone is of no use to you, why don't you give it to me?" His face was distorted with anger.

"No - give it!" Ruan Zhan stubbornly said two words from his throat.

It's not that he is unwise, what he wants is to make Sima Nan angry, because he can't think of a good way and has no choice but to commit suicide, so that he must accumulate some spiritual energy. It was originally impossible to do this in the tower, but because he was next to the tower door now, the tower's suppression of spiritual power was not very strong, and what he focused on this time was telepathy.

The power of thought is different from other spiritual powers. It is not simply a supernatural power, but contains the element of will. If a person has a particularly tenacious will and knows how to concentrate and mobilize his power of thought, he can also be very powerful!

Now he understood that daybreak was coming, and Sima Nan could not bear it any longer. He would definitely kill him, and then take his body with him to slowly search for the whereabouts of the stone. And his time has come!

The power of thought has been accumulated. He only needs to give up his own life and take advantage of Sima Nan in the form of soul body that he never expected that he would do this. He will take away Sima Nan's consciousness for a moment and throw him into the lake. The resentful spirits of the hungry ghost realm pestered him for a while.

This little time is enough for him to rescue Xiaoxia and Abai, and then he can think of other ways!

His chance only lasted a moment, and he had to seize it!

Lifting his blood-sealed eyes, he saw Sima Nan stretching out his finger to draw a talisman, about to kill him, and secretly stretched out a finger to touch his Yintang, as if to wipe away the blood, but actually to give up his life. , let your soul go out of body. If there is only one chance to survive, let Xiaoxia take it!

For a moment, Sima Nan looked at Ruan Zhan with compassion, and Ruan Zhan looked back at him without showing any weakness, and both of them stretched out their fingers at the same time!

However, at this moment, a soft "bang" sound suddenly sounded from the pergola, like the sound of a string being broken.

The scene was too quiet. The people in the pavilion, whether it was Xiao Xia or Hong Haohao, were all nervously paying attention to what was happening near the tower door. However, since Abai came to this place, he was like a wooden man and made no sound at all, so Although the sound of the string breaking was small, everyone heard it. And I don’t know why, but that voice seemed to come from the bottom of everyone’s heart, making people’s hearts go numb!

When the string breaking sound sounded, Sima Nan shivered all over and turned around instinctively.

I saw Abai move a little, and slowly walked towards Sima Nan's direction under the surprised eyes of everyone. And Sima Nan watched Abai getting closer and closer, but he couldn't move his feet and just stared blankly at her walking towards her!

"I-I don't know how she broke free!" Hong Haohao reacted first and defended himself.

However, no one paid attention to her, everyone was attracted by Abai's actions. Hong Haohao wanted to say something else, or make up for the seal, but he was shocked to find that there was a long blood trail behind A Bai!

She is a ghost. A ghost that has been dead for many years should not have blood stains. It is something only humans have. However, there is indeed a shocking red trail behind Abai, which is bright and moist. It appears under the feet with every step he takes. For a moment, it seemed as if somewhere on her body was collapsing, breaking into pieces and falling to the ground, turning into blood!

Sima Nan, who was standing high up, not only saw the blood on the ground, but also saw Abai's face because he was standing opposite her. I saw two lines of thin red marks hanging on her face, which were tears of blood pouring from her eyes!

This shocked Sima Nan because he understood what she had done!

She used her last spiritual power to tear off one of her three souls and seven souls, so that she could get rid of the shackles of the seal! But that would cause her great harm. A soulless spirit body would be bullied in that world. Even if she was reincarnated, it would cause a lot of trouble! Moreover, he has done similar things, and he knows how difficult it is!

Why did she do that? Is it because she wants him to face her, or to help Ruan Zhan? What made her do something so cruel to herself? Who made her desperate? !

"Don't force him." Abai spoke softly and glanced at the panting Ruan Zhan, "If he hadn't promised me not to kill you before I saw you, he wouldn't be in the current situation. At a disadvantage!"

"A-Bai, don't meddle in men's affairs!" Sima Nan stammered in a hoarse voice. Having to face her face, his heart still felt uneasy and numb, and he couldn't describe what he felt.

"But, don't kill him! Xiaoxia will be sad." There was a hint of pleading in Abai's voice.

Sima Nan had the impulse to agree to her for a moment, but when he turned around and saw Ruan Zhan's stubborn face, evil thoughts arose in his heart. He can't let Ruan Zhan go, and now he can no longer suppress him. In time, Ruan Zhan will definitely become a serious problem for him. Their views and goals are different, and there are many grievances and origins in the middle. There is no possibility of turning enemies into friends. If we don't kill him today, he will never have peace!

"Abai, you are my wife after all, why are you helping him?" He frowned and asked about the thing that he couldn't let go of the most.

Ruan Zhan snorted coldly behind him, "Wife, thank you for speaking out!"

Sima Nan did not look back, but he understood that Ruan Zhan was referring to the fact that he imprisoned Abai's soul in the dry well. This was his fault, it was his debt to her, and he couldn't argue with it.

"Yes, you must have your reasons for doing this." Abai saw Sima Nan's lips moving but unable to speak, and smiled sadly, "Every time you want to do something, I become unimportant. It's just that , I don’t blame you!”

"Abai——"

"I know you want me to choose, but I told Ruan Zhan a long time ago that I won't help each other." Abai sighed. Although he looked sad and had two red marks on his face, it made people feel beautiful. Extremely, "If I say, I know what you did is wrong, but because I am thinking of you and have been thinking of you, so I don't want to betray you, would you believe it?"

He believes it! How could he not believe it! Abai would never lie to him, he knew this better than anyone else. But he couldn't answer, because when Abai came, his heart was completely confused. Although he still couldn't let Ruan Zhan go, he was a little unsure about what to do.

"Then - you go somewhere else first." Sima Nan said in a sour voice, "I will go find you when things are over here. I promise you, as long as Ruan Zhan is obedient, I will never touch Yue Xiaoxia A hair!"

Abai stood still and just shook his beautiful head.

"Why, you don't believe me?" Sima Nan asked, but then he remembered that he really had nothing to make Abai believe. After all, he had lied to her and trapped her.

"I believe, as long as it is what you say, I will believe it no matter what." Abai said extremely firmly, making Sima Nan feel unworthy of her such feelings, and unconsciously felt guilty.

"Then why don't you leave. Be obedient and go. One day, you will understand why I am doing this."

"I'm not leaving, but I'm not here to stick to you. Since you left back then, maybe it proves that I'm not that important to you, so I won't cause you any trouble. I just want to ask you this time. One question, and then I’ll give you this.” Abai said, stretching out his right hand, and in his delicate palm, the strange red stone appeared under Sima Nan’s eyes.

Sima Nan was startled, and subconsciously turned to look at Ruan Zhan, and saw that his face was calm, as if he had not heard anything, and he was not proud of having successfully deceived him.

"Why are you here? Is the product in his hand a fake?"

"There's no fake." Ruan Zhan interrupted, "That's a bait to lure you up to the tower. You are so greedy for this stone that you don't even know the authenticity."

Sima Nan concluded. But he didn't care about Ruan Zhan's words, but concentrated all his energy on the little red stone. That was what he had dreamed of, and what he had tried his best to find, but now that Abai had brought it to him, was he going to snatch it away? No, no, Abai said she would give it to him. But why?

He accidentally learned that there was such a magical stone, and at the same time he also learned about the magical effects of this stone. He was delighted that it could help him realize his dream for many years, so he always wanted to get it. He thought that the stone must be the treasure of the witch cult. No matter how much Abai loved him, he would never give it to him, so he never dared to let Abai know his wish, fearing that she would be wary of him from now on, and it would be even harder for him to get it. . After Abai passed away, he searched everywhere but still couldn't find it.

However, looking at the current situation, is Abai going to give him the stone?

"Give it to me?" he asked with some disbelief.

"Yes, give it to you." Abai smiled softly, as if recalling the past, "Actually, I always knew you wanted this stone, and I was waiting for you to ask, but you just didn't ask me. And I, I wanted to If I let you stay with me, I would not give it to you. Please forgive me."

"You want to give it to me now?"

Abai nodded, "Yes, I decided to forget everything in this world and reincarnate in another life, so-"

"You want to leave me?" This news made Sima Nan's heart suddenly feel empty, and he asked out of nowhere.

Abai didn't speak for a while, but just stretched out his hand and touched Sima Nan's face, his eyes full of endless love and desolation, "You Han people say well, if you build a tent thousands of miles away, there is no banquet in the world that never ends. No matter how much I love you, in the end I still have to let go!"

Abai's words were so sad that Sima Nan felt hot and cold at the same time. He couldn't tell whether the uncomfortable feeling was due to the joy of getting the stone or the sadness of losing Abai. He couldn't help but blurt out the words that had been suppressed in his heart. .

"No, Abai, time has no end, and things in the world are not final." Sima Nan said loudly, "You listen to me, as long as you are willing to give me the stone, I have a way."

"You can take whatever I have. But before I give you this stone, you must answer a question." Abai said, raising the stone in front of Sima Nan.
