It's been a uneventful week.

But starting from the next day, Ruan Zhan accompanied Xiaoxia almost all the way to work, get off work, meals, and dressing changes. Because he pretended to be Xiaoxia's boyfriend before and was so considerate and gentle now, Xiaoxia felt very sweet in the envious eyes of others, but thinking about his previous positioning of the two as friends, she dared not expect any changes.

Maybe he just pitied her and was gloriously injured!

"Why are you here." Xiao Xia finally couldn't help but ask why Ruan Zhan showed up unexpectedly.

"I suddenly have something urgent to do, so I stopped by to see you." Ruan Zhan told a lie that was neither sincere nor quality, but Xiaoxia did not pursue the question.

He has always been a mysterious man, no one can figure it out, even a long-time friend like Wan Li. Besides, she is just a little troublemaker! It's better not to ask about many things.

Since I can't leave for the time being, it's good to have him here with me. However, even when staying in a hotel, he had to book a standard double room with one bed per person. Although he looked indifferent and serious, Xiaoxia always got excited in the middle of the night and wanted to sleep in his arms.

"When will you leave?"

"I want to see the scenery before leaving." Ruan Zhan made a pun, "It's very lively here, I didn't know it before."

This week, in addition to walking around Xiaoxia, he has also been paying attention to the movements around him, and he has investigated something through various means. However, the combined information is like a mess, and it is still difficult to make sense of it.

First of all, this ghost appeared too suddenly. Love hotels have always been very safe in the past, and there have been no similar incidents in the entire Ronghua Road. It stands to reason that where there is no resentment, ghosts will not appear for no reason. And this ghost not only appears, but is also very fierce. Its origin and purpose are a mystery.

Secondly, the ghost's killing methods are cruel, perverted and strange, and he always behaves obscenely towards women. The police have always believed that he only molested but did not rape, either because of physical reasons or abnormal sexual psychology. In fact, it was just because yin and yang could not make peace. However, since the police do not believe that it was caused by ghosts, of course they will not make such speculations.

Thirdly, why did he go invisible to investigate the love hotel but couldn't find any ghostly energy? Where does it hide during the day? You must know that ghosts are different from people. They cannot wander around casually. If they leave too far without a suitable container to hide, they will disperse over time.

Fourth, are these related to the Japanese? If so, what is his purpose? Although he claimed to be an international student and spoke fluent Chinese, there is evidence that he was not in City A when the first two murders occurred. He came after the Spring Festival. He said he lived here because he loved this building. Is it really that simple?

Fifth, what does all this have to do with Xiaoxia? He's not stupid enough to believe that this is just a coincidence. Although on the surface it seems that Boheng Company hired lawyers from Changkong Law Firm because of its long-term business relationship, and it is logical for the firm to send Xiao Xia, even according to Wan Li's investigation, Boheng Company does have some legal matters that need to be handled, but everything is The logic is too strong, and if you look into it deeply, it will feel deliberate.

Even if it was really for work reasons, why did you arrange for Xiaoxia to live in this house? Not to mention that this house is not close to the company, there are a lot of rumors about the murder happening here. Although the government restricts people from saying that there are ghosts and promoting feudal superstition here, there will still be news about the person who arranged a place for her. Don't you know?

All of these things were so strange and coincidental that he had to be careful.

He knew that a ghost with a lot of resentment would not give up his goal easily. From Xiaoxia's description, it seemed that the ghost was very interested in Xiaoxia, but failed to succeed, so he would definitely try his best to harm her again. If there was someone here who wanted to factors will be more dangerous. It was because of this consideration that he stayed with her, not giving any chance to his opponents who were coveting her in the dark. He was waiting for it to lose its patience and come out to cause trouble, so that it would make mistakes, or attack others, so that he would have a chance.

The target he was staring at was the Japanese. He felt that the problem might not be on him initially, but now he could not escape his involvement, especially the red lacquered wooden box. He also knew that Kenji Okamura was wary of him, but he just lived next door to Xiaoxia and refused to move. Ruan Zhan thought that he either wanted to compete with himself and was confident of defeating him, or that there was really an ulterior secret in his red paint box, and it was a secret related to these murders.

Like the best hunter, he seemed indifferent, but in fact he laid the trap and waited quietly. He believed that something was going to happen again soon!

When--when--when--

The clock tower not far from the hotel made a long and deep sound. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

Ruan Zhan suddenly woke up from his light sleep, as if his nerves automatically told him that something was wrong.

This couldn't help but make him a little excited, because this was the first time since he tried to actively release the sealed ability that he felt so clearly. He climbed up lightly, placed the talismans he had prepared in advance around Xiaoxia's bed, and drew another talisman in the air, covering her head. Only then did he feel relieved.

The door opened, and Ruan Zhan walked out gently. He paused for a moment outside the Japanese door, as if he sensed a ghost in the air, and quickly followed these traces downstairs.

In the room, Okamura Kenji, who was hiding behind the door mirror and taking a breath, sneered slightly.

"Is this just a little bit of magic? Even the fake ghost energy I created can distract you. He also said that China's Yin Yang and Five Elements Taoism is so magical, but I can't see it." He walked to the bedside as he spoke. He uncovered a large piece of paper spread out on the bed.

Following the moonlight, you can see the spell written in Japanese on the paper, and underneath is the red lacquered wooden box. As soon as the paper was taken away, there were knocking sounds from the wooden box.

"Calm down!" He patted the wooden box. "Without this spell to suppress it, that low-level Chinese mage would have discovered your existence. Not only would you not be able to live with me in the future, but you would not be able to survive now."

The wooden box knocked twice more and then stopped, indicating that he understood.

"I said I will fulfill your wish, because we have made a contract, and you must also abide by it." He said, holding the wooden box in one hand, "I will let you go now."

He muttered unintelligible spells in a low voice while making strange circles with his fingers. When he finished doing this and opened the box, several groups of black shadows rushed out and gathered into human shapes in the air.

"Go and entertain that beautiful lady. It's a pity that she is such a nice woman." He sighed with fake compassion and waved his hand, "Fate dictates that she must die, and there is nothing we can do about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow suddenly passed through the wall and entered Xiaoxia's room next door.

Xiaoxia breathed steadily and slept extremely soundly. She had no idea that there was an evil spirit in the room who had ill intentions towards her. The ghost slowly approached the bed, stretched out his incomplete hand to Xiaoxia, and saw it touch her chest. He was suddenly burned by a ball of fire-like light and bounced against the wall, making a squeak.

The scream was very harsh in the dark night, but Xiaoxia still didn't wake up. Kenji Okamura next door heard it and quietly came to Xiaoxia's door. The ghost inside seemed to be connected with his mind and opened the door for him. door.

When he saw the situation in the room, he sneered, "I didn't expect this Chinese to be very cautious. Don't be afraid, this charm can block ghosts, but it can't block people. I'll take off this useless piece of paper!"

He walked over and took off all the charms, turning them into ashes with a flick of his finger.

"Come and enjoy the beauty!"

The ghost had no scruples this time and rushed towards Xiaoxia fiercely, falling on her body. Xiaoxia didn't resist at all, but instead opened her arms to hug the evil ghost.

"No!" Okamura Kenji shouted softly and stepped forward to pull him away. But it was too late. The ghost had completely sunk into Xiao Xia's body. His screams were all drowned out and he was just struggling in that body. I saw Xiaoxia's body twisting and moving, but the ghost just couldn't get out!

"What's going on?" Kenji Okamura said in surprise.

'Xiao Xia' was lying on the bed, not answering a word, but her appearance changed. Kenji Okamura took a closer look and saw that it was just two pillows with spells painted on them. It was the power of the spell that sucked the evil spirit in and completely imprisoned it.

"Do you think I would put my little lamb in the wolf's mouth?" A voice came coldly from behind him.

Kenji Okamura turned around suddenly and saw Ruan Zhan suddenly appear by the bathroom door.

"She's a bait!"

Ruan Zhan snorted coldly as an answer.

With the thrill of what happened to Yang Muyou last time, how could he still let her use him as bait? He spent a lot of effort to seduce the Japanese. Even if he stood by the door and became invisible, he had to shut down all the breath on his body and isolate Xiaoxia with a barrier. But this Japanese man seemed shrewd, but he was easily fooled. He didn't even think that he would surround 'Xiao Xia' with a charm after he left. He originally had several plans, but he never thought it would be so easy to lure both the evil spirit and Okamura Kenji over.

Is he overly arrogant, or is he really a fool? Or just a front desk guy? !

"So the scene you just left was just your illusion. I thought you were fooled by me." Okamura Kenji instantly understood that this was a trap, "I underestimated you, you Worthy to be my opponent."

"It's a pity that you don't deserve it!"

"I will not lose to you. Although I was fooled by you, it was just a moment of negligence." He pointed to the bathroom, talking eloquently on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking of ideas rapidly, "She is here Are you hiding here? You are a good shepherd."

He began to hate himself a little. It was clear from the charm Yue Xiaoxia carried that Ruan Zhan was not an easy person to deal with. Why did he fall into the trap so easily? The master said that he is prone to being proud and gets into trouble, and he is indeed right!

"No need to talk nonsense, you can't break this barrier." Ruan Zhan raised his eyebrows provocatively, "Let's find some other way to reverse the situation." As he spoke, he touched his lower back and took advantage of his conversation with Kenji Okamura. Take away the talisman sealed on the bloodwood sword.

The Bloodwood Sword must also be sealed, otherwise it will react naturally when encountering evil spirits. At this time, as soon as he released the suppressing spell, the bloodwood sword began to shake excitedly.

Ruan Zhan took the bloodwood sword in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll treat you to Japanese food later."

Kenji Okamura took a step back, "Is this the legendary blood wood sword?"

"Some insight."

"Unfortunately, the spirit is afraid of this sword, but I am not afraid. I am a human, a great Japanese Onmyoji, how could I lose to you!"

"Are you afraid of saying this?" Ruan Zhan stared at him contemptuously, "If I fight with you, you are no match."

“Have you never heard of Japanese Kendo?”

"This is the way of swordsmanship. Anyone who commits a crime will be beaten." A woman's clear voice came from the bathroom. It was Xiaoxia. The barrier could seal all evil things from entering, but it could allow her to listen. Get the news outside.

"Ruan Zhan, kill this unpopular Japanese dog!" She was furious, for the sake of those innocent people who died tragically.

"Did you hear that?" Ruan Zhan smiled, his eyes full of tenderness, "The lady said this, a man with grace will not let a girl down."

Okamura Kenji took another step back, holding the dagger he had worn for many years at his waist.
