    Chapter 57 Evil Spirit Variations

    When the elevator door opened, Shannan didn't step out. He kept pressing the door-close button. Then he remembered that he still had a question he hadn't asked the old ladies.

    After he left, he reappeared. The four old ladies playing mahjong didn't seem to notice at all. They were already talking about how much compensation the old Li family had received from their nephew.

    "Both of them died, and the total compensation was more than 500,000 yuan."

    "Why did I hear it was more than one million?"

    The old lady in a short black shirt hit the old lady who said she had more than a million dollars with a cattail fan, "How can human life be so valuable? Human life is worthless."

    Shannan sat back down in the same position he had been sitting on before, "What happened to their nephew?"

    The old lady in a black short-sleeved shirt glanced at Shannan and said, "He died of illness. Her nephew is in very bad health. Just the medical treatment probably cost tens of thousands. The old Li family's daughter-in-law almost fainted from crying.""

    "My sister's son, how can I not be sad?" The old lady in a red shirt sighed and patted the table, "Let me tell you, this is all fate. If it weren't for the kindness of the people in Lao Li's family, this child might have died early.Without it, can you still live to be that old?”

    Shan Nan held his chin in one hand and held a popsicle in his mouth to take small bites, and asked, "What happened next?"

    "What happened next?"

    "Where did the family go?"

    The sun was hot, and sweat was pouring from the forehead of the old lady in a white and blue short shirt. She had the loudest voice and looked the hottest, "Let's move. Her son was admitted to Nanjing University in the capital. The family happily moved to the capital. From now on,You probably have settled in the capital, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to rent such a nice house.”

    Shan Nan echoed: "It's really amazing."

    "So, I am a role model for student kids like you..." At this point, they finally stopped chattering and looked at Shannan, "From No. 16 Middle School?"

    "Yes, repeat student."

    "Repeating students are still chatting with us old ladies here. Go read a book. If you don't pass the exam next year, let's see if you cry!"

    Shang Nan was blasted away by several old ladies. He just finished finishing the popsicle in his hand, so he threw the popsicle in the trash can at the entrance of the elevator.

    After getting out of the elevator, the lights in the corridor on the third floor were still flashing without any pattern, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. In this flickering scene, Shannan took out the key from his schoolbag and slammed the key into the lock.Behind my eyes, as soon as the door was opened a crack, there was a crashing sound under my feet.

    Shang Nan lowered his head and looked at the bottom of his feet. The scarlet viscous liquid, just like the liquid that appeared on the test paper last night, spilled out of the threshold of the living room and flowed to his feet. After passing him, it spread to the corridor, likeA gorgeous red river.

    It was so hot outside that it felt like it was about to melt, but here... The sweat on Shan Nan's neck disappeared almost instantly. He gritted his back molars in the cold, took a step towards the house and took a step forward., when the soles left the ground, they pulled out long, soft red threads and made an uncomfortable sound of sticky water.

    The curtains in the living room were closed and stretched to the ground, motionless.

    Shang Nan endured the feeling of nausea and walked out of the entrance hall, and finally saw the source of the red liquid, which came from Tong Xi's body.

    Tong Xi was lying on his back on the dining table with his limbs twisted. A big hole had been dug out of his abdomen, and blood was flowing out.Tong Xi's face was as pale as paper, and his arm hung down on the edge of the table. The other one was twisted and folded behind his shoulder, so his body was slightly raised.

    His knees were broken and turned behind his thighs, as if he had been knocked to the ground on his back after kneeling down. Then someone dug a hole as big as a bowl in his abdominal cavity, and the tangled blood vessels inside could almost be seen through the hole., with distinct layers of yellow fat and bright red muscles.

    Blood dripped down from the table.

    Did it kill him?

    Shang Nan's eyes darkened, and a huge unspeakable grief and anger swept over him. He strode towards the dining table, but his feet slipped and he fell into the sticky blood. The feeling of moisture was everywhere.The spine spreads.

    But before he could get up, everything in front of him disappeared, including the bright sunlight outside the window, the test papers spread out on the dining table, and the neat and clean living room.

    Knowing that this was another prank by the monster, Shang Nan felt annoyed and helpless. He had really fallen down, and his buttocks were so painful that they were numb.

    He got up from the ground.

    I saw Tong Xi coming out of the bedroom scratching his hair. He yawned and asked Shan Nan, "Are you back?"

    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Tong Xi took a glass of water for himself and poured it into his stomach after a few sips. While waiting for Shannan to answer, he drank another large glass.

    "Nothing, it's too hot outside, I'm a little confused." Shannan moved to the dining table and sat down, looking at the test papers on the table, "Are you sleeping?"

    "I took a nap, but I haven't gone to bed yet. I'm so thirsty. I'll come out and drink a glass of water." During the conversation, Tong Xi had already drank four glasses of water and was picking up the fifth glass.

    Shang Nan said helplessly: "Isn't the air conditioner turned on? Why are you so thirsty?" The cups for the two of them were still 500 ml, and the four or five cups added up to a small basin.

    After he asked, Tong Xi did not answer, and the sound of the water pump's continuous operation filled the entire living room.

    Shang Nan wrote his name on a test paper and felt something was wrong. He saw Tong Xi standing next to the bucket, still gulping down the water. The veins on his neck were so bulging that they were about to explode. The hands hanging by his sides were shaking slightly., both legs were swinging.

    Shannan dropped the pen without thinking. He slapped the water glass out of Tong Xi's hand and yelled in a low voice: "If you drink like this, you will strangle him to death."

    "Why are you holding yourself back..." Tong Xi's voice was lazy, with a long tail end, and her tone was innocent but also revealed a creepy coldness.

    The water in the water glass spilled all over the floor. Shannan raised his eyes and saw that Tong Xi was really tall, tall and strong. Standing in front of him was like standing in a shadow where no light could shine.

    Tong Xi has a very lucky round face, which may be due to too much flesh. His eyes are like longan cores, black and bright.

    But the Tong Xi at this moment was not Tong Xi. His eyes were a little dull and dull, and he was looking straight at the person in front of him, as if he would open his mouth and bite the person in front of him in the next second.

    "Jiang crucian carp." Shang Nan calmly called out the name to Tong Xi.

    "Tong Xi" was stunned for a moment, then curled up his lips, "Do you know?"

    Tong Xi's face was too kind, too beguiling, and too harmless. So when he said this, Shannan almost thought it was Tong Xi who was talking, but the content of the other person's answer clearly made it impossible for Tong Xi to be the one talking.Known.

    Jiang crucian carp stretched out his hand toward Shangnan, "Welcome to my home."

    "..."

    Shang Nan shook his hand carefully. Tong Xi's hand was very cold and had no warmth at all. He looked at Tong Xi and said, "Jiang crucian carp, can you get out of Tong Xi's body?"

    "Then what should I do?" Jiang crucian bent down to pick up the cup that was knocked away by Shan Nan and put it on the cabinet. He walked to the dining table and sat down. "Isn't it better to be friends with me than with him?"

    Shang Nan: "...Do you have any explanation?"

    "He is a scumbag." Jiang crucian carp held his chin.

    "..." This reason was indeed somewhat beyond Shang Nan's expectation. Jiang Crucian seemed to be much simpler than expected, "But Tong Xi works very hard."

    Jiang crucian carp lowered his head, showing some frustration. After a few seconds, he raised his head and said, "Oh, then I just don't want to leave this body. I want to be friends with you."

    The other party's blunt words made Shan Nan slightly stunned, "Why do you want to be friends with me?"

    Shannan thought the other party would answer: Because you have good grades.

    But Jiang Crucian didn't say anything. He put the thing in his hand on the table, which was the stuffed toy that Shannan had picked up several times. "It likes you."

    "..."

    The other party didn't show any malicious intent.

    Shang Nan walked over cautiously and asked Jiang crucian carp, "How old are you this year?"

    If you are twelve or thirteen years old, then you will be treated like a baby in this world.

    Jiang crucian carp approached Shang Nan like a ghost, and his and Shang Nan's faces were just a finger away from each other. He opened his mouth and said, "I was seventeen when I died. Three years have passed now. I am twenty years old this year.Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

    Jiang crucian carp looked at Shang Nan's stunned look and retreated. He was now using Tong Xi's body to lean on the chair. His belly was bulging and his face was slumped. He looked a bit like a serious white bear, "You are the first to rent this house, I haven’t seen anyone in a long time."?

    First time renting?

    The agent didn't tell me, he probably forgot.

    So this house has been empty for three years, and Jiang Carp has been trapped in the house for three years?

    Shang Nan looked at Jiang crucian carp, "Now that you've seen it, can you get out of my friend's body?"

    Jiang crucian carp looked deeply at Shannan for a while. He didn't say anything, but Tong Xi suddenly fainted on the chair.

    Shang Nan was stunned for a moment and then left?

    After confirming that Jiang crucian carp had left Tong Xi's body, Shang Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the task was important, he could not hurt the people around him because of the task.

    After that, he spent a lot of effort to get Tong Xi back to the bed. In the process, he regretted that he should have let Jiang crucian go to the bed and lay down before leaving Tong Xi's body.

    Even if the air conditioner is on, this kind of physical work makes Shannan sweat all over, and his arms are sore from dragging Tong Xi on. Tong Xi really needs to lose weight.

    Jiang crucian carp's pendant is still on the table in the living room.

    Shang Nan walked over, grabbed the pendant in his hand, hung it back on the door handle of the warehouse, and let it dangle.

    [14: Jiang Crucian's situation is no different from what those old ladies playing mahjong said. After his parents died, he lived with his aunt and uncle.]

    [14: Jiang Crucian grew up with his grandmother in the countryside when he was a child. His grandmother suddenly heard the tragic news that his daughter and son-in-law passed away, so he could only live with his aunt and uncle in the city. His aunt and uncle were well-known good people in the community and did charity work.Donate to charity, no matter how much, you can always help with whatever you can.]

    [14: So they didn’t treat Jiang Crucian badly... No, there is a slight discrepancy. Those old ladies said that it was a lie that the aunt and uncle let their son live in the warehouse. It was Jiang Crucian who lived in the warehouse, but Jiang Crucian did in the beginning.It was the second bedroom, but he couldn't bear it, so he offered to exchange it with his cousin, and he has been living in the warehouse ever since.]

    "How different are he and his cousin?"

    [14: Less than a month.]

    [14: Jiang Crucian is indeed a very sensible and well-behaved child. He has been since he was a child. After he came to the city, he became even more sensible because he was living under someone else's roof. Basically, he secretly shared all the good things his aunt bought for him with his cousin.]

    [14: His grades were indeed very good. When he was in the country, he was often first in the grade. However, there were not many people in the grade at that time. After he came to the city, his grades were not as good as before.I learned to smoke, drink, and fight, but the only thing I never did was fall in love early.]

    [14: His poor health, the doctor said, was caused by malnutrition when he was a child. In addition, he smoked and drank in the city, and his diet was not regular, so he easily got sick. No matter how many medicines he took, he saw many doctors, but it didn't help.]

    [14: The rest, you still need to get in touch with it.]

    Shannan lay on the bed, rolled up in quilt, "I know."

    He looked at the warehouse door and recalled the furnishings inside the warehouse - light bulbs that had no presence at all, no air conditioning, and no trace of the installation of air conditioning. There was no furniture of any kind, and the bed was a folding bed with an iron frame.

    Although it was Jiang Kun who took the initiative to change rooms with his cousin, as a guardian, it shouldn't be too much trouble to change a light bulb, install an air conditioner and get a slightly better bed in the warehouse, not to mention, they also tookThe parents’ compensation was hundreds of thousands.

    Since Jiang Carp can turn into an evil ghost and appear in this house, there must be a reason.

    Although he knew that Jiang Gu was pitiful, Shang Nan still felt uneasy about the other party's elusiveness. Who knew if he would occupy Tong Xi's body again.

    After thinking about it, Shannan fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already past four in the afternoon.

    The edge of the sun showed a golden afterglow.

    Shang Nan opened the curtains, and the light instantly filled the entire second bedroom. The faint dark shadow lingering at the end of his bed also dissipated in an instant, and the pendant on the door handle shook a few times.

    Tong Xi was cooking profusely in the kitchen. There were several plates on the stove, most of which had already been filled with food.

    Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Tong Xi shouted to the living room: "The meal will be ready soon."

    Shang Nan walked into the kitchen and was stunned by the heat inside, "Open the door."

    "I'm afraid that the fumes will come to the living room later and it will be too choking."

    Shang Nan looked at Tong Xi's face, which was rosy, energetic and upbeat, but just to be sure, he asked one more question, "How did you sleep?"

    "It's good. I didn't have nightmares." Tong Xi's attention was all on the pot. "You're right. You should also pay attention to Feng Shui aura when choosing a bedroom. The auras of me and the master bedroom are really in sync. You and IHow about the second bedroom?”

    Shang Nan thought of Jiang Crucian's unceremonious hand on him and pressed him to death, and hesitated for a moment, "Second bedroom and I also get along quite well."

    The last dish was ready. Shang Nan cleared the table and helped add rice. After responding to Tong Xi's words, "My rice needs to be packed down," he was stunned and asked, "Aren't you not going to have dinner?"

    Tong Xi held up the spatula, with obvious embarrassment on his expression, "Isn't it dark yet? It's not dinner, this is lunch."

    After he finished speaking, he frowned and said, "I don't know why, but I felt so hungry for no reason after I woke up today. I was so hungry that I wanted to eat people."

    Shang Nan handed him the rice, "Maybe sleeping consumes more calories."

    "Ah, what a pity. I can't sleep every day now because I still have to study." Tong Xi said seriously, "I will go to bed after finishing five sets of physics papers today."

    Tong Xi's speed in brushing papers has always been very slow, and his accuracy rate is not high. He likes to tangle again and again. Even if there is no problem in the calculation, he still feels that there is a problem, so he always wastes a lot of time because of this, brushing five sets of papers in one night.For Tong Xi, the difficulty is equivalent to not eating dinner for a week.

    After Shang Nan reminded him, Tong Xi finally didn't run to get another bowl of rice, but he finished all the unfinished dishes, "My cooking skills are really good."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the bowl placed on the stove suddenly fell to the ground and broke into several large pieces. The ground was also covered with broken pieces of the porcelain bowl.

    "Damn," Tong Xi looked back at the kitchen, "Why did it fall by itself? Didn't I put it away?"

    Shang Nan looked at the empty eyes and stood up, "I'll clean it up. There's also a bowl of soup. After you finish it, we'll start brushing the papers." After he finished speaking, he turned to find a broom.

    "Oh, okay!" Tong Xi's attention was instantly diverted at the thought of finishing a bowl of soup.

    Shang Nan quickly cleaned up the kitchen. He lowered his voice and said, "Jiang crucian carp, stop making trouble."

    It was quiet all around, but Shannan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Maybe Jiang Crucian wanted to talk, but he couldn't. He had not been in contact with anyone outside for three years in this room. If it were him, Shannan wouldn't be able to.Accept being stuck in one place for three years.

    "Forget it, do whatever you want." Shonan walked out of the kitchen and closed the door.

    It’s just a bowl. If you want to throw it, throw it.

    When it was past nine o'clock to finish the paper, Tong Xi started to complain that he was hungry. Shan Nan looked up at him and asked, "How much have you written?"

    "A set and a half."

    "Then don't eat it."

    "Why?"

    "It's a waste." Shang Nan pushed out his results, "I'll start the fourth set right away."

    Tong Xi thought he had heard and read wrong. He pulled the test paper in front of him and counted it, "You are writing homework too fast now!"

    Shang Nan said calmly: "It should have started after the college entrance examination. Once it started, it will be different from before."

    Tong Xi believed it so much, "Then I probably haven't figured it out yet."

    The pen in his hand spun around flexibly between his fingers and fell on the table. Tong Xi picked up the pen and continued to spin it. He tilted his head and looked at Shannan, "Why didn't I know that there is a saying about learning? That's right., No way..."

    "Jiang crucian carp." When Shang Nan saw Tong Xi's pen-turning movements, he knew that the person in front of him had been changed - because according to Tong Xi's fingers, he could not make such flexible pen-turning movements.

    Tong Xi pointed to his stomach, "It said it was hungry."

    Thinking of the way Jiang crucian carp drank water to death in the afternoon, Shannan immediately said: "Tong Xi has eaten a lot in the afternoon, he can't eat anymore."

    "Oh," Jiang crucian carp nodded, "then can I write the test paper?"

    "Don't write about Tong Xi," Shang Nan got down from the chair, "I'll get mine for you." No matter how high the blackening level is, Jiang Crucian is still a young man who has never even left the campus. Moreover,Judging from the current situation, Jiang crucian carp obviously likes to do test papers. If doing test papers can make him calm down for a while, then Shannan is willing to give him all his test papers.

    Shannan found a new set for Jiang Crucian and handed it to him without letting go immediately, "Tong Xi still has to do his homework in half an hour."

    Jiang crucian carp held the other end of the test paper and said, "I don't."

    At present, Shan Nan had nothing to gain from the other party. He lowered his eyes and said, "Tong Xi is a repeat student like me. You occupy his body for too long and it's unfair to him. You were also a repeat student in No. 16 High School before. You know how to repeatHow hard life is."

    Jiang Kuan's expression turned ferocious in an instant. He opened Tong Xi's eyes so wide that they looked like they were about to burst out of their sockets, "How did you know?"

    "I heard it from the old ladies who were playing cards downstairs," Shang Nan relaxed his hands and sat down calmly, "so I called out your name in the afternoon."

    Jiang crucian carp was stunned, "Aren't you afraid?"

    Shannan paused slightly, "You guessed it, besides, we have paid a year's rent. If we can no longer live in it, will you give us this money?"

    "Besides, if I were scared, I would have gone crazy in the afternoon." Shang Nan showed an unprecedented calmness, mainly because Jiang Crucian carp is now using Tong Xi, and Tong Xi is very difficult to impress no matter what expression he makes.People feel afraid, "I'm not afraid of ghosts and gods."

    "I'm not a thing."

    "Well you're not."

    Jiang crucian carp wrote the test paper in silence.

    The target of the task was sitting in front of him. Shannan had no intention of studying the papers at all. He asked tentatively: "You have stayed here since you died?"

    "Well, I like it here, this is my home." Jiang crucian carp replied, it seemed to be a very innocent and honest evil ghost.

    He continued, with a puzzled tone, "I have been here alone for the past few years, and it has been really boring. I don't know why my aunt and the others never came back after they left, and this apartment has always been empty."

    "Fortunately, you are here. You can stay here forever." After finishing writing a question, Jiang Crucian raised his head and his eyes fell on Shang Nan, "Otherwise, I will kill you."

    Shannan was not afraid of the other party's threat at all, "Let's talk about it then." But this was really tricky. His re-reading time was one year. How was he going to clear the remaining 75 blackening points in this year?.Afterwards, taking Jiang crucian carp away from here was also a difficult problem. He couldn't really stay here for a lifetime. He had many relatives and friends in this world.

    "You and your aunt and uncle must have a good relationship, right?" Shannan asked very cautiously.

    Fortunately, Jiang crucian carp did not resent this question. He nodded, "They raised me, gave me food, clothes, and spent a lot of money on my medical treatment. They were really good to me."

    Shan Nan was a little confused. The old ladies downstairs couldn't tell clearly from what they heard. Even if it was said that Jiang Crucian was treated very well at Lao Li's house, why did Jiang Crucian say so himself?

    The light bulbs and environment of the warehouse don't look like they are being treated well.

    Has this evil spirit been trapped here for too long and become sleepy?

    But at this time, he and Jiang crucian carp were not familiar with each other, and he was afraid of causing discomfort to the other party by asking too many questions, so Shan Nan could only smile and said, "Then they are indeed very good to you."

    After Jiang Li heard Shang Nan's compliment, he raised his head. A sickly pale face loomed under Tong Xi's face. It was much smaller than Tong Xi's face. He could vaguely see the facial features of a young man, and his eyes were full of a kind of expression.Gluttonous obsession and salivation, "Yeah, I like them very much, so I will always be here waiting for them to come back.

    Jiang crucian carp's tone revealed the restrained excitement, "When they come back! I will eat them all..."
