Angel of Mean Evils Chapter 4

It was already after six o'clock in the afternoon when Ronan Chi rushed to the bus station. Fortunately, it was summer and the sky was still golden, but the golden color had been rendered very thick and was no longer as clear and lively as the morning sun. Gives people the illusion of deep melancholy.

The ticket he bought was for seven o'clock in the evening, but there was no sign of the bus until ten minutes to ten. At a quarter past seven, the person in charge at the station arranged for them to get on another train. There were still five or six empty seats on this bus. , and finally arrived at Suming City, but it took a long time and stopped at several small stations in the county. The original two-hour drive took more than three hours. The person in charge said that if you are willing to take this bus, you can pay the difference in price. If you are not willing to wait, just wait for dispatch. I don’t know how long it will take.

Ronan Chi thought to himself that the difference between the two was not that long. At least it would take a little longer to get on this bus, but he would definitely be able to go back. When the dispatcher waited, he didn't know how long he would have to wait, so he got on the bus and sat in the back. Sitting next to him next to the window was a very sturdy middle-aged man wearing a casual jacket.

Seeing this, Ronan Chi gave in again. He is prone to motion sickness when he is not well rested. He has been running around all day today and has been very nervous. He has not eaten properly at night. At this time, he already feels a faint headache, so he leans against the car window and closes his eyes, preparing to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, I became confused as soon as I closed my eyes. He had been half asleep and half awake. He could vaguely feel the bus braking and stopping, and passengers moving around and getting off their luggage, but he still couldn't wake up.

By the time he came to his senses, it was already completely dark. The night outside the car window was dark, pressing toward him along with the darker outlines of the mountains in the distance. Ronan Chi took out his cell phone and took a look. It was already ten twenty, and he was probably not far from Sumin City. The way back was different from the way there, and he didn't recognize it either.

There were only a few seven or eight people left in the car, most of whom were probably going to Sumin like him. The eldest brother who was sitting next to him before may have felt too crowded, so he moved to the empty seat in front of him at some point. He was sitting in the second to last row, and behind him was the taller row of seats in the last row. Now, except for him, everyone else was sitting closer to the front and scattered around the car.

Ronan Chi flipped through his phone for a while and felt sleepy, so he turned off the screen and prepared to put it away. Inadvertently, the black screen of the phone against the dim yellow light emitted by the dim street lights outside the window reflected the face of the person sitting behind him - pale face, flat features, dull and expressionless, and a pair of eyes staring straight at him. Looking at him.

Ronan Chi immediately had chills all over his body. Pretending to be nonchalant, he picked up the phone again, his hand trembling slightly. He was too frightened to move for a moment and forgot to think, as if his thoughts were frozen for an instant.

Ronan Chi waited for a while, then pretended to be calm and quietly took out the peace talisman drawn by Garrett Daochang  from his pocket. There were two peace talismans. One was used by him to wrap the ashes, and the other was kept close to his body. In your pocket.

He glanced at it, and then felt a chill in his heart. The edge of the yellow talisman paper had become charred black at some point, as if it had been burned by something.

He pretended not to notice the thing behind him, put his backpack on his back and held on to the armrest of the car, moved to the front of the car, and sat in the row behind the middle-aged man who was sitting next to him.

He put his bag on the seat next to him. The car had entered the city, and the scenery outside the window became busier. There were other people nearby which made him feel slightly reassured. Ronan Chi took out his phone and took a look at it secretly. His fingers on the screen suddenly froze - the "person" was still sitting behind him, following him. Moved to the front together!

From Ronan Chi's personal experience, people's courage will not be intimidated. Every time he encounters something like this, especially something that is obviously pointing at him and following him, he will still feel scared, panic, and frightened. After so many years, The only thing I have learned is to at least keep calm on the surface, and not to be frightened into confusion and make any drastic actions just after a big mistake.

He knew that no matter whether what Garrett Daochang  said about Spencer Ye's ashes would really work, at least his jade could protect him for a while longer, so he stayed calm until the bus arrived.

But the thing followed him out of the car.

Sumin City is not as prosperous as Shiming City on summer nights until the early morning. It was already 11 o'clock at night when I got off the bus. The road from the bus station parking lot is quite secluded, and there are seven or seven kilometers to the main road. Eight minutes away.

Ronan Chi followed closely the middle-aged man who got out of the car earlier than him. He mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation and said, "Where does eldest brother live?"

According to his experience, when an adult man in his prime has strong yang energy, those things will stay farther away. For example, when he was in college, his three roommates were all young men. The frequency of encounters with evil spirits or being haunted by ghosts while living in the dormitory was much lower than when he lives alone now.

The man took two steps to the side without leaving any trace, and moved a little farther away from Ronan Chi before answering with some hesitation: "Tianlong Garden."

Tianlongyuan was next to the community where Ronan Chi lived. He felt happy and walked to the main road while chatting slowly with the man.

Ronan Chi was quite worried that he was alone in taking a taxi late at night. If he was walking on the road, he would just pretend not to see something and run away. But if he met something in a taxi and the driver was not human, it would not be easy to run away. When they got to the main road, he took advantage of the situation and suggested that the two of them share a car back. The man hesitated for a while and then agreed.

After the taxi stopped, Ronan Chi sat in the passenger seat and the man sat in the back seat. Ronan Chi took a special look and saw that the thing stopped following them since they got in the car.

Ronan Chi reported the place name and went to Huarong New District. This area is the newly developed CBD and is also the most prosperous place in Sumin. Ronan Chi's unit and residence are there.

The driver, a young man, reminded Ronan Chi: "Handsome guy, wear a seat belt. Why don't you sit in the back? The passenger seat is not as spacious as the back."

Ronan Chi looked at the back seat, smiled and said, "It's okay, it won't be crowded."

The driver glanced at him and said nothing. He didn't know what he was thinking and silently started the car.

The eldest brother hadn't spoken to him since he got in the car, but the two of them were not familiar with each other, so Ronan Chi didn't care and looked out the window at the familiar street scene in silence.

When he arrived at the place, Ronan Chi took out his wallet to pay. When he looked back, he saw that the elder brother had gotten off the station and was waiting outside the car. Tianlong Garden is still a ten-minute walk from here, but it's not too far, and Ronan Chi doesn't find it strange.

The driver looked at the RMB twice, then looked up at Ronan Chi. He seemed to want to say something, but finally shut up.

Ronan Chi got out of the car, and the elder brother nodded to him and said, "Thank you."

Ronan Chi thought he was talking about taxi fare, so he smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." Speaking of which, he should say thank you.

The middle-aged man said: "Little brother, I'm going to go home and take a look, and I won't leave you here."

Ronan Chi also smiled and said goodbye to the other party, turned around and prepared to walk back to his community.

I heard the other party mutter in a low voice: "There seems to be something on you, I don't dare to get too close to you."

The smile that Ronan Chi had no time to take back suddenly froze on his face.

He looked back with a stiff face, and happened to see the middle-aged man's retreating back. He could clearly see it under the bright orange streetlight at the entrance of the community, and it had no shadow.

Ronan Chi's hands were trembling and he could hardly hold the key. He quickly ran into the building. After the elevator door opened, he didn't even dare to go in - he was afraid of encountering something else.

The memory of his childhood has faded. Ever since his grandmother gave him the jade, although he has encountered evil spirits, he has rarely "seen" these Harrisonan things like this one after another in the past few days.

He touched the jade on his chest and inadvertently touched the small porcelain vase containing Spencer Ye's ashes. He silently comforted himself that no matter what he saw, he could just pretend not to see it and ignore it, at least they wouldn't dare to harm him directly.

In this way, I comforted myself and finally arrived at the door of my house. I looked around suspiciously before opening the door and going in.

The moment he turned on the light and closed the door, he almost collapsed to the ground completely powerless.

But soon Ronan Chi insisted on cheering up, found the prepared tablets and incense burners, and placed them neatly on the tables in the living room. This scene is funny and a bit weird, but Ronan Chi is a bachelor who lives alone and usually has no guests at home, so he doesn't care.

According to Garrett Daochang , he had to carry Spencer Ye's ashes to protect himself, and from the day he carried them, he had to worship Spencer Ye's memorial tablet once a day in the morning and evening.

He did not dare to neglect. Since Spencer Ye had already brought Spencer Ye's ashes with him, he lit three sticks of incense and offered them to the memorial tablet when he came back.

The custom-made tablet is completely black, with six golden characters "Ye's Welcome Spirit" engraved on it.

Ronan Chi held the incense in his hand and bowed his head respectfully, then inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the tablet.

Behind him stood a black figure, silently watching him do all this.
