Chapter 1 Zhao Yijiu in the Dark
It was so happy to play with the snow with a big heart. The depression that the three of them had dissipated a lot, but the consequence was... After seeing Zhao Mou, Zhao Ruru and Zhao Yijiu stood in the room with their heads down and were scolded by him.
Yu Xing sat on the chair beside him, watching Zhao Mou's smiling fox cursing coldly while eating melon seeds. To be honest, it is rare to appreciate Zhao Mou's loss of smile at the close range, and he cannot miss it.
Zhao Mou probably finished watching the whole process as an audience, and then he was busy dealing with many calls from his family. He then asked the three of them to come to his room with a very irritating review.
"Aren't you good at divination? Look at your divination rhythm in this deduction. Many times, there is no need to tell fortunes. If necessary, you can't use it. You will train me specifically in the next few deductions!" Zhao Ruru, Zhao Mou was quite polite, but his tone was a bit harsh, and his words were all real and effective suggestions.
Zhao Ruru endured it and apologized in frustration: "I know that I did not use the advantage of fortune-telling, and I would study and practice. Also, I was originally helping you take care of your brother, but in the end I asked him to save me. I didn't fulfill your entrusting to me. This time I didn't count it as I'd give you favors. If you have anything to do, you'll call me again."
"...It's not your fault. I admit that I underestimated this little boy's ability. He is no longer the one who needs me to protect everything he goes to." Zhao Mou's tone was relieved, and as he said, he glared at Zhao Yijiu who was standing next to him with a calm expression, and could not see any fear.
Zhao Yijiu glanced at him and put his hands in his pockets.
So Zhao Mou said a few more words and asked Zhao Ruru to go back to her own residence. He immediately pointed his finger at Zhao Yijiu. He first reached out and took off the cap with a little girlish heart on Zhao Yijiu's head, then pinched Zhao Yijiu's chin to observe the dark red eyes, and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth for a while: "Fortunately, Yu Xing reacted quickly, otherwise what are you going to do? Let all the audience know that there is a ghost living in your body?"
Yu Xing paused his hand with melon seeds, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two of them.
Zhao Yijiu took Zhao Mou's hand off his chin impatiently: "It's almost done, do you really think you are the director of the teaching?"
He was never polite to his brother. His obedient manner just now was purely for Zhao Ruru to see. After all, Zhao Ruru is not from their branch. In front of other branches, it would be better to let Zhao Mou maintain an absolute prestige.
But now Zhao Ruru has left. Zhao Yijiu took a step and sat next to Yu Xing, drank a glass of hot water that no one had touched before, and his long legs were crossed, looking like "No matter what you say, I'm right."
"Hey hey, what are you doing? That's the water I poured," Zhao Mou said with a tweet, "I'll drink it when my throat is dry!"
"Now, two minutes, I'll finish it." Zhao Yijiu stared at his face reflected in the water cup and closed her eyes.
"..." Zhao Mou was so angry that he couldn't do anything. He sat opposite Zhao Yijiu, "Are you brother or I brother? Why do you never give your brother the respect you deserve?"
Zhao Yijiu: "One minute and forty seconds."
"Okay, okay, I said hurry up." Before I knew it, Zhao Mou's tone had softened. He really had no choice but to his younger brother. There was Yu Xing here who obviously didn't care about the fun. He sighed, "Why are you so irrational this time?"
"Irrational?" Zhao Yijiu repeated, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.
Zhao Mou knew at a glance that he didn't realize it at all: "Don't you think it's a bit strange from the second stage? Aren't you usually quite rational? You have such a cold face and are so enthusiastic at critical moments. In the second stage, when you find that something is wrong with that master, you still take the initiative to follow and see?"
Zhao Yijiu's eyebrows moved and his eyelashes trembled.
"Others may not feel it. I am your brother, I know you too well." Zhao Mou smiled and looked at Zhao Yijiu, but he just rolled up his sleeves and beat him up. But he didn't know if he was reluctant or could not beat him consciously, but he could only scold him in the end, "You don't do that at all. It's better that you don't have anything to disturb you. It's your most wanted."
"According to your usual personality, if you run away honestly, you won't be so seriously injured. Why do you think your red eyes are not good-looking, so you just want to dig your eyes?"
When talking about this topic, Zhao Mou's heartache flashed through, but he was afraid that Zhao Yijiu would not take it seriously, his tone would become more severe.
He had no formality when he was by Zhao Yijiu before, and he was a gentle and scum. This was rare to have a cold face towards Zhao Yijiu. Zhao Yijiu looked at him and suddenly felt a sense of oppression that he had never felt before.
At this moment, Zhao Yijiu felt that the person in front of him was not only the brother who could not beat him when he was a child, but also a star deducer who supported their family's side by his own strength.
But he was not scared. After two seconds of silence, he turned to ask Yu Xing: "Does actors have the passive ability to influence people's emotions?"
Yu Xing said "Oh" and leaned against the back of the chair, curled the corner of his lips: "Probably, whether those who know him or those who don't know him will be led by him for different reasons. Your guess makes sense. Therefore, you did not make the most correct judgment at that time, and it may be that you were influenced by the actor."
He found that when he talked about actors, Zhao Mou and Zhao Yijiu had no say. He stared at him with all his eyes. He spread his hands: "This can be left to the research institute for research. Now you can finish the remaining minute."
Zhao Yijiu: “…”
His dark red eyes had already moved to Yu Xing's face, with some complicated "Do you just want to hear me being scolded?", but the next second, he didn't know what he thought of, so he immediately withdrew his eyes, looked at the cup in his hand, and remained silent.
Zhao Mou noticed this scene, sighed imperceptibly, and explained to Yu Xing: "Ajiu's situation... If his eyes locked on you, you would feel breathless, as if he was being targeted by a demon, so he would not dare to look at you."
Yu Xing waved his hand: "It's okay, I have a strong ability to accept it. If you want to see it, just watch it. After all, I'm so handsome."
Zhao Mou: "..."
Zhao Yijiu: “…”
Facts have proved that Yu Xing can always choke people accurately.
"Forget it... change the topic." Zhao Mou rubbed his temples, stood up, and patted Zhao Yijiu's head, "I guess you don't have the time to listen to what I said. I'll find a way to recover your eyes. Within three days, the evil ghost in your body must be suppressed back."
Zhao Yijiu hid back and said, "Don't touch your hands."
"Tsk, why are you shy? I'm your biological brother." Zhao Mou was so angry, "I see how you have a girlfriend like this, haha, it's okay for a female ghost friend."
"Get out." Zhao Yijiu glanced at him coldly, "I don't need it."
"Yes~yes~You have a right hand!" Zhao Mou went to the door before he was beaten by the wine. He cleared his throat without drinking hot water and touched the door handle. "In the next moment, I will be very busy. In addition to helping you find ways to suppress evil spirits, he also has to deal with many things in the family and deductions. Haha, dogs are really good at finding trouble for me than actors... I don't ask you anything, only a little bit-"
"Your life is the first priority. Don't do things that are hard-working when you are alone." He opened the door, pushed the glasses on his nose, and his eyes drifted towards Yu Xing for a moment. "Don't do things that are hard-working when someone who has trust is here."
"Okay, after you have enough rest, go back to your room and don't mess up my room."
After saying the last sentence, Zhao Mou closed the door and left, leaving Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu, one of whom was eating melon seeds, and the other reached out to grab the hat and put it on again.
The two of them were silent for a while, and the air pressure in the room gradually became lower. Yu Xing took out his cell phone and took a look at the information accumulated over the past few days, and chuckled.
"Do you know why your brother left in such a hurry?"
When Zhao Yijiu heard him speak on his own initiative, he breathed a sigh of relief: "He is busy."
"Yes, maybe he has to fight with the senior executives of your Zhao family to give you the qualification to form a team freely." Yu Xing did not have the tendency to pull himself out of the soft chair. He fell deeper and deeper, and his snow-white hair collar made him look unattacked. "Look at his eyes just now, he is planning to tie you to my side."
Zhao Yijiu nodded. He knew that what Yu Xing said was very likely.
Zhao Mou is an old fox. After seeing Yu Xing's strength and progress speed, he will definitely not let go of this growth period. In addition, the Zhao family and the actors are definitely opposite now. If he can be put into Yu Xing's team, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
In other words, it seems that there is almost no disadvantage to it at present, because Yu Xing is not only a thigh, but also a thigh that treats him well.
"There is another reason." Yu Xing followed Zhao Yijiu and raised his legs, "He wanted you to tell me by yourself, what's going on with your eyes and the evil spirit in your body? Huh? Tell me?"
"That's, the literal meaning." Zhao Yijiu was no longer as panicked when the actors were exposed. He could see that Yu Xing was not as disgusted with the community of humans and ghosts as the actors said.
He warmed his hands with the hot air floating out of the hot water cup, recalled it, and then tried hard to turn the memory into words: "When I was a child, I was about five or six years old, something happened to my family. There was an elder uncle who I like very much... His personality alienation was too high and he turned into a monster." (As mentioned in Chapter 29 of the Shock Bar)
"He broke into my house one night and killed my dad. Zhao Mou and I hid in the cabinet and witnessed some..."
That day, the monster-turned elder uncle had dense eyes all around his neck, which made Zhao Yijiu, who was only five or six years old, produce a very deep shadow.
Zhao Yijiu couldn't help it. He didn't know what he was thinking. He actually opened the cabinet and rushed out, and sent himself to the monster.
It was obvious that rushing out was useless. At that time, his father had been torn apart by the monster.
Of course, the monster doesn't remember the past relationship. In its eyes, Zhao Yijiu was just a smaller prey. If Zhao Mou had not followed him, he would have been one of the meat pieces in the monster's mouth.
Later, they were rescued because other elders in the family rushed over and killed the monster.
Zhao Yijiu's memory was very chaotic at the time. He had only a few terrifying and fragmented impressions of what happened that night, such as the eyes of the monster and the familiar face, such as the eyes of his father lying in a pool of blood, and the eyes of the monster-turned elder uncle's wife who cut off its head personally, was as painful as the abyss.
At that time, the people who came to rescue him lost their souls over and over again, told him that the nightmare was over and nothing was wrong, and everything would pass.
But the fact is not that way.
Zhao Yijiu's nightmare has just begun.
"I was soon diagnosed with abnormalities. My eyes turned dark red, my nails were very sharp, and even my emotions were constantly losing. I couldn't laugh or cry. I was dazed in the ward for a whole day. Occasionally, I would say something that humans couldn't understand in the late night. Even my temperament was a little bit decayed. I didn't even have to eat or sleep. During that time, no one saw me, I would think I was a living person." The hot water in Zhao Yijiu's hand became cold. He put down his cup and raised his hand to touch the corners of his eyes, as if he could touch the hidden things underneath from the cold skin.
"I was locked up. Because I resisted the light, they locked me in a dark and confined space. All Zhao Mou's opposition and anger seemed to be throwing a stone into the sea... The elders of the Zhao family were investigating the reasons. Finally, after more than a year of locking me up, an elder discovered the truth about the alienation of the uncle." Zhao Yijiu took a deep breath and could see that he was not completely calm about this matter.
Yu Xing interrupted him and looked at him with an incredible look: "Wait, they have locked you up for a year, but you haven't seen the light for a year and have not eaten anything?"
"Yes, I don't need these anyway." Zhao Yijiu's tone was a little bit natural, as if someone else was not wrong with him.
Yu Xing stuttered and sneered: "The Zhao family is really consistent in their own words. They are like livestock when they are worthless?"
"I have value, study value." Zhao Yijiu said, "They are waiting, waiting for where the limit of my not eating is, so it is easy to record."
Isn't that just like an experimental product?
Yu Xing felt something strange in his heart, and he suppressed his discomfort: "You continue talking."
"Well, the reason why that elder uncle had a surge in alienation was because he saw a very terrible ghost in the deduction at that time. It was something that could not be described in words. In short, it was very terrible."
"The evil ghost crawled into the elder uncle's body, causing him to turn from his soul to his body into a monster. He left the deduction and then came to my house. When I rushed out of the closet, the evil ghost took a fancy to me and replaced me with its body."
"I was locked in the dark back then and I was always merging with it. The progress was very slow. My current personality also has part of the reason for that evil spirit." Zhao Yijiu said, "Soon after, a man sent something to suppress evil spirits, and I preserved the human mind."
