Chapter 59 Evil Spirit Variations

Chapter 59 Evil Spirit Variations

Shannan didn't know how to answer Jiang Crucian Carp's question, so he thought for a moment, "I'm going to continue eating."

"Are you driving me away?" Jiang crucian carp said.

"Tong Xi is about to wake up too." Shan Nan said.When he finished saying this, Tong Xi covered the back of his neck and ouched twice in a low voice. When Shang Nan raised his eyes again, Jiang crucian carp had disappeared.

Shang Nan gulped rice into his mouth. While chewing the rice grains, he thought that the river crucian carp actually doesn't miss humans very much. Its language and behavior are more like a small animal. If it has to be said to be human, its evolution is incomplete.Humanity.

Perhaps the idea of appreciating the south triggered the keywords about river crucian carp in the information database, and 14 spoke out.

[14: It is indeed not a complete crucian carp, it is an evil spirit, only the evil of crucian carp.]

"What do you mean, only river crucian carp is evil? What about the good ones?" Shannan looked confused, "Because you've been trapped here for too long and you're trapped?"

[14:...Not from the beginning. From the moment he became an evil spirit, it did not have the positive parts that humans possess, such as kindness, humility, and loyalty. It was incomplete.]

[14: The easy-to-understand explanation is that before it became an evil spirit, someone took away those things from its body. All good things. People have both good and evil sides. There are only two sides in its body:A pile of trash was left behind.]

Therefore, Jiang crucian carp is moody and behaves like a rampaging little animal because the part of him that is a normal human being was taken away from him, leaving behind a pile of fragments that the other party disdained.

Shan Nan suddenly felt that the food in front of him was hard to swallow.

"Can this still be taken away?"

[14: There are still a lot of strange people hidden in your human society, but the process will not be easy. For Jiangxi, this should be a very painful thing, otherwise it will not turn into an evil spirit and guard this house.inside.]

[14: But these are actually regenerable and will change with the environment. It’s just that those things that cannot be changed, such as IQ, are definitely non-renewable. But according to my observations and all the current data, its IQ seems to be, cannot be taken away.]

[14: You can try to regenerate other things in its body, such as kindness and other good qualities.]

[14: You eat first.]

"I won't eat anymore." Shang Nan put down his spoon.

At this time, Tong Xi happened to wake up. Tong Xi looked at Shan Nan with a stupid look on his face, "Did I fall asleep again?"

Shannan nodded bravely, "And you were dozing off while eating, so you've finished all your food." He pointed to the two empty takeout boxes next to him.

Tong Xi touched his stomach and found that he was indeed not hungry anymore, but he was not full either. However, this was far less frightening than the fact that he fell asleep while eating, "Am I suffering from narcolepsy? Or else?"Will you accompany me to see the doctor on the weekend?"

Shannan agreed: "No problem."

Normal people would not think that there is a ghost in the house. Shannan hopes that Tong Xi can spend this year of repeating his studies in peace.

"That's it. That's it." Fortunately, Tong Xi was heart-warming enough. He looked at the empty takeout box with regret several times and ate it without even knowing the taste. It was really a pity. What's more, heNot even full.

Shan Nan looked at the other party, and after a long while, he pushed the remaining half of his bowl in the direction of Tong Xi, "I've eaten it before, if you don't dislike it..."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Tong Xi went back to the kitchen and got a new pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of chili and put it into his mouth. It was so delicious that he almost cried, "Why is the takeout in Dal City so delicious? Just nowI actually fell asleep after eating two bowls, I really deserve to die." This was all done by Jiang crucian carp, Shannan wanted to find an opportunity to discuss with the other party, no matter what, stagger Tong Xi's eating time, otherwiseTong Xi would talk about it endlessly.

After eating, neither of them had time to study other test papers. Shannan only helped Tong Xi circle yesterday's wrong questions and write the correct solution ideas next to them.

After that, he started to write the homework assigned by the bald head.

While he was doing homework, there was a constant chill in his ears. It was different from the air-conditioning produced by the air conditioner. The cold air that had been surrounding him made the hairs and goosebumps on his skin immediately stand up reflexively as soon as he got closer.

Without even thinking about it, Jiang crucian carp kept wandering around watching him do his homework.

Poor kid.

Shannan and Tong Xi fought hard until after eleven o'clock. After looking at the time, Tong Xi shouted for help, "If this continues, I will definitely lose weight!"

"But you ate two and a half bowls of rice tonight."

"I'm asleep." Tong Xi began to escape.

I brushed my teeth before going to bed. The water from the faucet splashed into the porcelain basin, rushed down along the leakage, and squeezed out big white splashes.

Tong Xi brushed her teeth first and went to bed.

As soon as he left, something suddenly went wrong in the room.

Shannan shivered, and after brushing his teeth quickly, he dropped the toothbrush, turned off the light, and opened the door to the second bedroom.

As soon as the door opened, Shannan's expression froze.

——Jiang crucian carp was sitting on his bed. When he saw Shang Nan, he opened his mouth and waved to Shang Nan as a greeting.

When it died, it should have been wearing the same outfit it is wearing now, white short-sleeved, black jeans, still with a curly hair style. If you can ignore the scarlet red and blue-white complexion in the mouth of the crucian carp, then the other party can barely do it.He is considered a Qingjun young man.

But Shan Shan really couldn't ignore it.

He walked over slowly, staggered away from Jiang Crucian Carp, and pulled back the quilt. Just when he was about to lie down, a ball of black energy picked him up. He stood up again. Jiang Crucian carp looked up at Shangnan, "Introduce you to me."Just yourself.”

Of course, Shannan would not refuse a friendly exchange. He looked around the room and found that there were no chairs or small sofas to sit on, so he could only sit side by side on the edge of the bed with Jiang Crucian Carp.

"My name is Shannan."

Jiang crucian carp: "I know."

"I'm from Qingchuan next door. I'm 18 years old this year. I'm gone."

Jiang crucian carp nodded and turned around, "Will you leave here after you get admitted to college?"

"Yes," Shan Nan asked the other party a question impulsively, "Don't you want to leave?"

"I can't leave." After Jiang Li finished speaking, he suddenly dispersed and disappeared. The warehouse door opened with a "bang", and the ceiling where a board had been broken before cracked longer along the original crack, and the whole piece fell off.He came down and said, "I can't leave." Jiang Crucian carp's tone seemed a little depressed. Its face appeared from the dust that was like a fog, and in a blink of an eye it was in front of Shannan. It stared at Shannan closely.His tone changed from frustrated to bright, "But if you are willing to let me use your body, then I can leave here."

Shang Nan tried to push Jiang Crucian Carp away with his hand, but his palm passed directly through Jiang Crucian Carp's shoulder.

Fortunately, Jiang crucian carp seemed to be just joking. He straightened up and said, "Go in and take a look. That way you can know me better."

More than one piece of the ceiling fell down, and there was a large black roof above the head. There were about four or five pieces of ceiling on the ground, not only wooden boards, but also a layer of iron.

Shang Nan turned on the inconspicuous lighting and looked at the mess on the ground. He didn't know what Jiang Xiang wanted him to see. Look at the wooden boards and iron sheets here, or the exposed walls and wires above his head..

Just as he was about to ask a question, the cabinet fell over and there was a ladder behind it. Jiang crucian carp appeared quietly behind Shang Nan, "Can I use the ladder to go up?"

"Go up?" Can the space between the ceiling and the wall accommodate people?I can't even straighten my waist, so I guess I can only crawl forward inside.

Jiang crucian carp said nothing and looked at Shang Nan quietly.

All right.

Shang Nan moved the ladder...to a position against the wall. After making sure it was stable, he slowly climbed up the stairs. The space above was not like the TV show, a small hole. There was a cave behind the hole and a ceiling.The scene that followed was exactly what Shang Nan had imagined before. What he saw was a bit worse than he imagined.

Nails were used to fix various colored wires, circuits, and white pipes on the wall. The boards were put together one by one. Maybe it was because it was too dark above, but it actually looked a bit bright underneath.

The wooden boards and iron sheets that fell to the ground were very thin and brittle. Before Shannan climbed up, he thought that the rest of the ceiling that had not fallen would also be made of the same material. But when he stood on the stairs, what he saw was,The wooden board was several meters thick. He stretched out his hand and pressed it. There was no problem in carrying an adult.

Shang Nan climbed up with confidence. As soon as he lay down on it, Shang Nan felt suffocated. In the dark and hot environment, the palms pressed were full of dust.

"What do you want me to see?" he asked the crucian carp below.

Jiang Crucian didn't respond, but he didn't know when he appeared next to him. The green and white dead face suddenly appeared. Shannan was so frightened that he sweated all over his body and fell back. He leaned back and fell on the wooden board, and the dust was flying again.Falling swiftly.

A thin mass of black mist wrapped around Shang Nan's wrist, holding Shang Nan's hand. Shang Nan's hand touched something cold. Jiang crucian carp let him fumble and let him go.

It was thin in the middle and thick at both ends, hard and cold, and a little heavy-handed. Shannan was kneeling on the ground, his back was already supported by the wall above. The space above was narrow. He stayed there for such a while, and it was already very uncomfortable.

Shang Nan dragged the thing in his hand to his eyes and looked at it carefully. It was... it was...

[14; The tibia is one of the lower leg bones. The thinner one next to it is the fibula, which is also the lower leg bone.]

[14:This is the bone of river crucian carp.]

Shang Nan was stunned, the shock in his heart was greater than the fear of holding the dead body's bones, "Did Jiang Crucian Carp die here?"

He remembered that he had a mobile phone in his pocket, hurriedly took it out of his pocket, turned on the flashlight, and everything in front of him was illuminated.

The bones are still intact, probably because it's not that long ago, only three years.

Because no one would have thought that there would be a person here, no one must have moved it. The current position of the bones should be the last appearance of the crucian carp before it died - the crucian carp should be hugging its knees, with its head buried between its legs, curled up into a ball.Shang Nan had a hard time repairing the scene in his mind, because the pile of skeletons in front of him had spread out and only provided a rough impression.

[14: Well, he died on it.]

Shang Nan knew that Jiang crucian carp was beside him, so he continued to use the flashlight to shine on other places. He found a cup of water that had fallen on the ground but was already empty of water. Two small plastic basins were probably used for washing. There were stacks of stacks in the corner.Good clothes, one of which is the same color as the school uniform he wears during the day.

There are a lot of books piled next to it, and they all look very worn.

There were also a few flashlights and used batteries.

Shannan and 14 made many assumptions, and the worst possibility they thought of was that Jiang Crucian's aunt and uncle did something behind their back, telling outsiders that they treated Jiang Crucian better than their own son, so that their sonLiving in a warehouse actually means that Jiang crucian carp does not have bright enough light bulbs or air conditioning to keep warm and resist the heat.

But the reality was obviously crueler than Shan Nan imagined. Jiang Crucian didn't live in a warehouse, he lived in the mezzanine between the ceiling and the floor wall.

"Jiang crucian carp?" Shang Nan's voice trembled slightly.

"Um."

"How long have you lived here?"

Jiang crucian carp only has a voice and no form. It is much better than the unnatural tone when he first spoke, but his resentment has never dissipated, "Seven years."

In other words, Jiang Crucian did not grow up in a normal living environment from the time he came to this home, but gradually grew into a young man in this cramped and narrow mezzanine.

Then there is no need to doubt other people. The people who took away those positive things from Jiang Crucian were also my aunt and uncle's family.

Jiang Crucian carp's original intention was to scare Shang Nan, so he waited quietly for him to scream or show fear.

But the other party didn't show any fear. He even looked at his little home carefully and asked himself how long he had lived here.

After answering, now it’s time to be scared.

But caught off guard, he saw a tear slipping down Shan Nan's cheek. It fell quickly and fell into the thick dust, quickly disappearing.

"Why are you crying?" Jiang crucian carp put his palm gently on Shang Nan's shoulder. In his human form, he couldn't touch Shang Nan, so he could only turn his hand away and turn into a ball of mist.But he couldn't grab Shannan's shoulders, so he frowned, feeling unhappy.

It's hard for Shannan to imagine that a child grew up here and didn't end up with a good outcome in the end. This child was beside him at the moment. He was completely squeezed out, and even the soul left here was mutilated.of.

"I just feel sorry for you." Shan Nan said calmly.

Jiang Ji was stunned for a few seconds. Without saying a word, he suddenly disappeared. Not even the black mist could be seen.

[14: Blackening value -5.]

Shannan didn't mean to say that for the sake of blackening points. He had no way of knowing what to say or do to make this evil spirit change his view of the world. He just expressed his true thoughts.

Without Jiang crucian carp hanging around, Shannan felt more at ease. He moved inside with difficulty, dragged the piles of books in front of him, illuminated them with his mobile phone, and read page by page.

The books are well preserved but very old.

The name is written on the first page of each book: Jiang Crucian Carp.

In the lower grade books, there was a simple little carp drawn after the name Jiang Crucian Carp. By the time I was in junior high school, that was gone, and even the handwriting was much more sloppy.

Before my freshman year in high school, I couldn’t find any mistakes in the test papers and books, and the teachers’ evaluations were generally very good.

After the freshman year of high school, his grades did plummet, but it was not a case of just doing nothing. Jiang Crucian clearly did it, but both his ideas for solving the problem and the final answer he got were all wrong.

In his third year of high school, Jiang Crucian still insisted on answering every question, but the final answers were all wrong without exception.

Jiang Kuan's handwriting also changed a lot, his writing became heavier and faster, and Shang Nan even felt the resentment rushing towards him.

[14: At that time, some of its things should have been taken away. No wonder it would secretly write your test paper, maybe just to prove that it has not become a fool.]

[14: Undoubtedly, the number one feng shui in this room also belongs to him, from the original Jiang Crucian carp, and the resentment is carried by the current Jiang Crucian carp.]

Shang Nan did not respond. He slowly sorted out the test papers and crawled over to take a look at the plastic basin. It was indeed used for washing. There was also a toothbrush and an unused half tube of toothpaste.

There are not many clothes stacked together, and the pile is not as high as the pile of books, but they seem to be of good quality.

Shang Nan only felt conflicted for a moment, but thinking about the couple's character, since they had to do superficial things, they naturally wouldn't let Jiang Crucian wear rags.

"Why didn't Jiang crucian carp tell the teacher or the police? This is considered abuse." Shang Nan put away the phone and slowly moved outside.

[14: Generally speaking, no one will believe it. Even if they believe it, so what. You humans always think that criticism and education can change a person. I personally think that this is just a lazy and perfunctory way of coping.]

[14: What's more, if there is no aunt and uncle, Jiang crucian carp will become an orphan, and the situation may be even more bleak. They must have thought so, so then they even persuaded Jiang crucian carp to be more sensible and can usually grabDoing housework makes his aunt and uncle look at him with admiration and fall in love with him.]

[14: How much do you expect a child to know? No matter how precocious he is, he is still just a child.]

So the handwriting gradually changed later, because Jiang crucian carp gradually grew up and was no longer a child who didn't understand anything.

"What he was thinking at that time was that he would be able to leave here by studying hard and getting into a good university, so he could endure all these things first," Shannan guessed, "but he may not have thought that his relatives were not the right ones.He was dissatisfied."

"They were extremely satisfied with Jiang Crucian Carp. They took away all the good things from Jiang Crucian Carp and put... on the person who should be their son." Shan Nan gritted his teeth with hatred, "This is not just stealing the results.", this stole Jiang crucian carp’s entire life.”

[14: That’s what it means. Academic, career, emotion, intelligence and quotient. Take away everything you can, including face.]

When Shan Nan heard 14's words, he almost fell down the last few steps of the stairs. The viciousness of this family was simply mind-numbing.

"Jiang Crucian is her sister's son!" Shang Nan stood in the dusty and dark warehouse, looking up at the completely exposed Jiang Crucian's former residence, holding a breath in his heart, "Shenot human."

[14: Nannan, this is normal. If you need it, I can prepare three thousand words of chicken soup for you.]

"Thank you, that's not necessary." Shang Nan bent down to lift up the cabinet, and cleaned up the iron sheets and wooden boards on the floor. If there is dust, we will talk about it tomorrow night.

After half an hour, Shan Nan was sweating again and covered in dust. He could only take a shower again before he could sleep comfortably.

It was almost two o'clock when I lay down on the bed after taking a shower, but Shan Nan fell asleep without lying down.

All the time in his mind was the huddled up river crucian carp.

And Jiang crucian carp also disappeared from just now.

With the comparison of the normal environment, Shang Nan can detect how the surrounding air pressure feels when the river crucian carp is around. Therefore, Shang Nan can be sure that the river crucian carp is really not here now and it is not a prank.

After the river carp disappeared, it didn't appear for several days.

Tong Xi originally planned to see a doctor to see if he had narcolepsy, but since that day, he has never had a situation similar to that day. "It's better not to go to the hospital to see a doctor. It's a waste of time. Maybe it was just that day."School has started and I’m so tired. How can I have narcolepsy with my body?”

Shang Nandu followed him, because Tong Xi was not sick in the first place.

Two o'clock and one line every day, time flies by.

School days were boring. No matter how lively and interesting the teacher's lectures were, Shannan looked at the questions he had done countless times and felt like he was going to vomit after looking at them for so long. The time he spent sleeping has gradually exceeded the time he spent listening to lectures in class.

It may be that a subject teacher reported to the class teacher that Shannan always slept in class. Qiao Xin also went to Shannan and asked if it was because being the monitor and school committee member delayed his studies, so he could only make up for it at night, soAffects sleep.

Shan Nan said no, "If I have already mastered the topic taught by the teacher, I will lie down and sleep for a while. Resting is more important than anything else, and I will study more efficiently."

Qiao Xin: "..." The other party was so frank, but she didn't know what to say?Why are the results so good and still have some thorny attributes?

It reminded her of her former student again, who became more and more outrageous later on.

She looked at Shan Nan worriedly and said in a daze: "You have to study hard. You don't have a good family background. Only by studying hard can you get ahead."

Shan Nan felt that these words did not sound like he was speaking to himself, "What?"

Only then did Qiao Xin come back to her senses. She smiled and said, "It's nothing. When I saw you, I remembered a student of mine who used to have very good grades. But then he became a bad student for some reason. I couldn't pull him back no matter how hard I tried., maybe it was because my teaching method at that time was too radical, which made him uncomfortable."

He should be talking about river crucian carp, Shang Nan thought.

But the reason has nothing to do with Qiao Xin. She is a very good teacher. From the teacher's point of view, Jiang Crucian's situation is actually the problem of the students themselves.

Although he could see the guilt of the head teacher, it was impossible for Shang Nan to tell him the true situation of Jiang crucian carp.

Coming out of the office, Tong Xi handed over her schoolbag, "Let's go, let's go, I'm starving to death."

Tong Xi seemed to be really hungry, so she dragged Shang Nan all the way home. The night air was also unbearably hot, and Shang Nan was panting from running, and standing in the living room, she felt like she only had half a life left.

Tong Xi ordered takeout in advance, he put it at the canteen, and they picked it up at the same time.As soon as Tong Xi came in, he hurriedly tore open the takeout bag, like a wild beast just out of the cage.

"I'm going to the bathroom first." Shannan put down his schoolbag and went to the bathroom.

He washed his face with cold water first, and then opened the toilet lid after feeling a little cooler.

A green and white man squeezed in through the crack in the door. Jiang Crucian, who had not appeared for several days, stood quietly next to Shang Nan. His eyes were round and very lively, but on Jiang Crucian's face,This kind of eyes only amplifies its sense of badness and inhumanity.Shang Nan had already seen him, and had noticed it since he came in, but he couldn't interrupt him in the middle, so he could only watch as Jiang Carp moved diagonally in front of him and pressed against the wall.

It lowered its eyes and spoke in a low voice, "Not as big as mine."
