C17 (1/2)

Song Nan killed the double previously, but Su Chen had been using his own blood to keep a spare. Later on, he transferred the extra double to Liu Li, lowering my guard against him.

There was no formation in his room, but he had extended it all the way to the courtyard. So when I called out to Song Nan in the yard, he couldn't hear me at all.

After being away from home for a few days, Song Nan and Min Hao sensed that something was wrong. However, at this time, the double was already tangled up with my heart. Just like before, if it wasn't for Su Chen luring out the doppelgangers, Song Nan would have had to kill Shan Shan along with him.

Min Hao had invited one of his senior brothers, Jiang Zuo Qing. His mana was much higher than Min Hao's.

Jiang Zuo Qing was that old Taoist. He told Su Chen that we were a match made in heaven, but there was an inhuman third party standing between them. It was my Yin Peach Blossom that I brought with me, so he could help me remove it.

Jiang Zuo Qing set up the altar and broke Su Chen's array. Then, Song Nan attached himself onto Su Chen and used a dagger to retrieve the blood in his heart. Only then did he lure out the double and exterminate the ghost.

I don't know if it was because the double took away all my feelings for Su Chen, but when I looked at his corpse, I didn't feel anything at all. It was like looking at a specimen of a corpse that our teacher showed us in class.

His soul slowly separated from his body, and when he saw us, he let out a bitter laugh.

”Do you hate me in July?” he whispered to me, not regretting what he had done.

I thought about it and told him what I was really thinking. ”I don't feel it.”

Only love can make me hate him. Perhaps I have a little pity for him, but under the strong indifference, there isn't much left.

Soon, a ghost servant caught him and disappeared.

Jiang Zuo Qing suddenly said to Song Nan, ”If you have anything else to say, say it to her. It's time for us to leave as well.”

I looked at Song Nan in surprise. What was his relationship with the old Taoist?

Song Nan smiled and said to me, ”Go home from work. If the number on the elevator is green, you must not go up. Also, I have a magical formation on the wall that connects our house to Min Hao's room. If you call Min Hao, he can come directly here. ”In the future, I might not be able to protect you. Listen to Min Hao.”

When I heard his tone, it sounded as if he were doing some sort of funeral, so I quickly asked, ”Why are you saying this? Are you leaving? ”

He ignored me and continued, ”I've changed the monitoring system and other people's memories. They will only know that Su Chen committed suicide because he couldn't stand the loss of his girlfriend and won't disturb you.”

He touches my face, his hands cold.

”I can finally do something for you in July!” His smile was bitter and sweet.

Then, he turned around and walked over to Jiang Zuo Qing. ”I have nothing else to say.”

Jiang Zuo Qing nodded and put both Song Nan and the things he took out into the bag.

I looked dumbfoundedly at the scene in front of me. I swallowed my saliva and asked, ”If you put it away randomly, won't it smash Song Nan?”

Jiang Zuo Qing shook her head and said, ”Lady, you don't have to worry about that. Everyone has their own destiny and this old man dares to take the risk to change this destiny. Whether it succeeds or not will depend on the will of heaven.”

He said a bunch of things I didn't understand, then he laughed and went out the door and disappeared.

Stunned, I followed him out of the room. I didn't look back at Su Chen's corpse.

I've always wanted to find someone to take Song Nan away, but now, I've really taken him away. I can't say how I feel right now. Not ecstatic, not relieved, but empty.

Was this the legendary Stockholm syndrome? Right! It must be!

Forcing myself to be filled with the joy of ”turning the tables and serf singing”, I went home happily.
