I heard her weakly apologize to Jiang Bai: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Jiang, I just..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai whispered: "It's okay."
About fifteen minutes later, Xia Jia regained her breath. She sat back on her stone bench and said to Jiang Bai: "Senior Brother Jiang, there were a lot of people knocking on my door last night."
"Originally there were only three of my friends, but for some reason last night, more than a dozen people came at once."
Jiang Bai was silent for a moment and then said: "It should be that the door has not been opened for too long, triggering some mechanism."
Xia Jia did not respond, but took out a jade pendant from himself and handed it to Jiang Bai.
"Senior Brother Jiang, this is the jade pendant my mother gave me. She said this jade pendant can bring good luck to people."
"If, and I mean if, I do go, I hope it bless you as you walk out."
Xia Jia's perception seems to be naturally stronger.
Just last night, she had a feeling that her time was running out.
In fact, she still had something to say. This jade pendant had a special meaning.
But in this kind of environment, Xia Jia couldn't say that.
Jiang Bai took the jade pendant and knew that it was just an ordinary jade pendant and had no function.
But Jiang Bai was still careful, hanging it beside him as if it was a very precious thing.
Unknowingly, dusk came and Jiang Bai and Xia Jia went home.
They don't dare to stay together, because then the two groups of monsters will get together at the same time.
No one knows what will happen then.
Separation is a good thing for Jiang Bai and Xia Jia.
After returning to his residence, Jiang Bai's face was solemn. No, it should be said that it has been like this since he learned that the Fire Palace became a strange realm.
As night fell, the knock on the door rang again.
Because Jiang Bai knew that everyone in the sect had become monsters and would look for his acquaintances.
So this week, it tries to avoid contact with others.
It is also true that the people who come to Jiang Bai every night are Tan Yan and Liu Chan. These two people really love him.
Jiang Bai has long been accustomed to the noise they make.
It sat on the bed, lowered its head and looked at the floor, not knowing what it was thinking.
At midnight, another uninvited guest came outside the house.
"Senior Brother Jiang, I have found a way out of here. Open the door quickly."
The familiar voice made Jiang Bai's heart skip a beat. This was Xia Jia's voice!
Did she have an accident? Or was she unable to bear the pressure and took the initiative to open the door?
Jiang Bai raised his head and looked at the ceiling with a bitter look on his face.
Finally, is it the only one left?
"Senior Brother Jiang, open the door quickly! Those monsters are coming! Ah!"
Xia Jia outside the door called for help, followed by screams.
But Jiang Bai remained unmoved, knowing that the real Xia Jia was dead.
What's outside the door now is just a monster pretending to be Xia Jia.
Not long after, the sounds of biting and chewing flesh and blood were heard outside the door.
"Jiang Bai! You are so cruel! I have done so much for you, and you actually refused to save me!"
The miserable and resentful accusation actually touched Jiang Bai's heart.
It was horrified when it realized something was wrong. It knew clearly that Xia Jia was dead, so why did it feel emotional about the fakes outside?
Jiang Bai suddenly had a terrible suspicion in his heart.
That is, as time goes by, the monster outside the door has acquired the ability to confuse people's hearts.
Xia Jia's death was most likely due to being bewitched by these monsters and opening the door.
Fortunately, this does not affect his mood to a great extent. As long as Jiang Bai is slightly alert, he can resist it.
The noise outside didn't dissipate until the first ray of sunshine appeared in the morning.
"Dong dong dong!" However, at this moment, the knock on the door rang again, making Jiang Bai jump up on the bed in fright.
Can this monster move during the day?
Then it has absolutely no way out and will be trapped in the house and die.
Xia Jia's voice came again: "Senior Brother Jiang, I'm here to find you."
Jiang Bai didn't dare to respond or make any noise.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Jiang won't open the door, so I'll come in by myself."
"Bah." Under Jiang Bai's expression as if he had seen a ghost, the door was really opened.
It was so stimulated that it almost burned Xia Jia's face with a mouthful of demonic fire.
But this thought was immediately suppressed.
They shouldn't be monsters. They can't enter the door without your permission.
Seeing Jiang Bai's frightened look, Xia Jia covered her mouth and snickered: "Haha, Senior Brother Jiang, have you forgotten that there aren't those monsters during the day?"
Jiang Bai looked at "Xia Jia" in front of him.
At this time, she no longer looked haggard and lost, and was almost the same as when she and I met for the first time.
Jiang Bai said to Xia Jia: "Come here for a moment."
"Huh?" Xia Jia didn't know why, but was still very obedient and walked up to Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai stretched out his wings and touched her face. There was no doubt that she was a real person.
Xia Jia was frightened by this sudden behavior and backed away.
After she reacted, she turned her head, a blush crept onto her cheeks, and said shyly: "Senior Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you today? You're so enthusiastic."
There was no doubt that the Xia Jia in front of him was the Xia Jia Jiang Bai knew, but his heart sank to the bottom.
Jiang Bai knew that Xia Jia was now just like Tan Yan and Liu Chan.
During the day, you live your usual life, but at night, you transform into a monster and come to seek your life.
"Nothing, I just thought of something last night."
Jiang Bai's explanation with a smile on his face made it difficult for people to detect his true inner thoughts.
Xia Jia didn't think much and asked curiously: "Senior Brother Jiang, where should we investigate today?"
"We'll talk about the investigation later. I'll take you to Huayuge for breakfast first."
"Great!"
Although she was very happy that someone was treating her, she was even happier that Jiang Bai regarded her as a friend.
Xia Jia felt that the monster Jiang Bai really had nothing to say.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most suitable person to be a friend because of his easy-going personality, generous nature, and profound knowledge.
She even had other little thoughts in her heart.
Xia Jiagang turned around and wanted to walk out.
Jiang Bai's two wings were suddenly placed on both sides of her head.
There was a hint of surprise on her face, wondering what Jiang Bai was going to do?
With a click, Xia Jia's head was twisted 360 degrees.
There was still a curious expression on her face, and then her body fell to the ground weakly.
She died without any pain.
Looking at Xia Jia's body on the ground, Jiang Bai sighed and said, "This is the only thing I can do for you as a friend."
It killed its friend with its own hands, but it felt no regrets.
Although one person and one monster, they only got along for a week.
But this week, it would be no exaggeration to say that the two of them are life and death friends and depend on each other for life.
They are all just poor people trapped in a strange realm, waiting to be slaughtered.
Xia Jia is gone, Jiang Bai will not sit idly by and watch, her body is controlled by the strange realm and becomes a monster.
Jiang Bai stretched out his wings, and a black gold dragon hammer appeared on its wings.
The entire house was illuminated by golden light, and the roar of dragons continued.
If that moment comes, it will kill itself with the Black Gold Dragon Hammer.
Even if it dies, it is unwilling to let its body be enslaved.
Withdrawing the black gold dragon hammer, Jiang Bai sprayed a mouthful of flames at Xia Jia's body.
Soon her body was burned into a pile of ashes.
After picking up the ashes on the ground, Jiang Bai took Xia Jia to the lake. This is where they stayed together for the longest time.
Jiang Bai scattered the ashes, and a breeze came at the right time, letting Xia Jia fall on the grass, trees, lakes, and chessboards.
It lowered its head, looked at the jade pendant hanging on its feet, carefully took it off, and swallowed it in its belly.
