    Chapter 69 Evil Spirit Variations

    Jiang Lin stood behind the balcony and waited quietly for a while. It was still dark and there was no sound around.After waiting for as long as a century, the expected sound of shattering flowerpots and exclamations did not come.

    He swallowed, put his fingers on the balcony, and stretched his head out of the window to take a look. There was a looming figure underneath, taller than Shan Nan and shorter than Tong Xi, so it was not either of the two.

    Jiang Lin's heartbeat was beating like never before, and he wanted to pump all the blood into his head. His throat was so dry and painful that he stared blankly at the increasingly clear and familiar face below..

    River crucian carp...

    His pale face and eyelids, in the dim and hazy morning, his eyes were as calm as the layers of lead-gray clouds above his head. Although calm, there was not even a trace of movement, but what could be on top of the layers?Is it the blazing sun or the violent snowstorm?

    Jiang Lin's fingers clenched tightly on the window sill. He couldn't believe what he saw. He leaned most of his body out of the window, trying to see more clearly.

    No crucian carp.

    The flowerpot was broken into several petals, and the ground was covered with scattered soil, but he didn't see Shannan's figure. He looked around and found Shannan lying on the edge of the lake, trying hard to pull Tong Xi in the lake.

    Not hit?

    Why?

    Jiang Lin's heart was beating wildly and his face turned pale. He hurriedly retracted his head from the balcony, paced back and forth on the balcony, ran back to the bedroom, and dialed Li Lan with trembling fingers.

    The lake water in winter was bitingly cold, and Tong Xi's lips turned purple from the cold. After Shang Nan pulled the man up, he took off his coat and put it on him, "Let's go upstairs and change clothes."

    Tong Xi lay on the ground, "Let me slow down, let me slow down."

    Both of them were panting. Tong Xi was already big, and his clothes were full of water. Shang Nan had to drag him to the shore with great effort. Of course, Tong Xi also had some troubles in the process.Push harder.

    Tong Xi raised his eyes and looked upstairs, "Which floor did it fall down from? You're too brave to put such a big flower pot outside!" He was still frightened. If it wasn't for Jiang Crucian carp, he would definitely be doomed today.Until now, his hands and feet were weak.

    [14:Jiang Lin dropped it.]

    [14: There are still fifty blackening values left. The more the blackening value drops, the better Jiang Crucian's condition will be, while Jiang Lin's condition will continue to decline.His understanding of everything, including himself, is still in high school. He probably wants to turn you into the second Jiangxi, but it is obviously impossible to succeed relying on him. This matter must involve his parents.’s participation, but I personally think that his parents will not let him do such a direct, brutal and stupid act of killing you by hitting you with a flower pot.]

    [14: The more irrational he is, the better the condition of Jiang Crucian Carp will be. You can pretend you don’t know anything. My intuition tells me that the blackening value will drop significantly.]

    Before Shannan could answer 14, he saw Jiang Lin running out of the corridor.

    His face was full of worry, and he put the blanket in his hand on Tong Xi's shoulders and asked concernedly: "Are you okay? I heard the sound of water falling upstairs, and when I looked, I realized it was you two."

    His worries were a bit exaggerated. If it were Jiang Lin in the past, he would have been able to act this scene out vividly. But now, not to mention Shang Nan, even Tong Xi could see the disguise in the other party's expression.

    Tong Xi pulled the blanket off his shoulders and gave it back to Jiang Lin, "No need." He and Jiang Lin had had a fight at least twenty minutes ago. He couldn't restore Jiang Lin to the same state as before, not even his playful smile.If you can't pretend, it's best for Jiang Lin not to pretend, it's disgusting.

    He suspected that Jiang Lin had thrown down the flowerpot because he had a grudge against himself and Shannan, and then wanted to kill them both with the flowerpot.

    Jiang Lin didn't feel embarrassed. He didn't feel it, and naturally it wouldn't show on his face. "We just have some friction in our daily interactions. There is no deep hatred, right?"

    Shang Nan patted Tong Xi on the shoulder, "Go upstairs and change quickly. I'll wait for you here."

    Tong Xi got up from the ground, and the water absorbed in her clothes leaked from the hem of her clothes and dripped continuously onto the ground.

    Jiang Lin didn't go up. He stood up and looked at Tong Xi's back.

    In fact, the thing that puzzled him the most was why the flowerpot didn't hit Shannan and Tong Xi wasn't injured. It's okay to hurt one at least, and both of them are fine... Jiang Lin thought about what he had just seenThe river crucian carp cannot really be the river crucian carp...

    Jiang Lin's hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist, and the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen. He believed that there were things in the world that could change one's fate against the will of heaven, because he himself had benefited from it, but ghosts and gods... he didn't believe it..

    Jiang crucian carp has been dead for many years. If he really became a ghost, he would have probably come to take revenge on him long ago. Why wait until now.

    Shang Nan's eyes moved away from Jiang Lin's clenched fists. He pointed at the broken flower pot on the ground and said, "This flower pot looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere."

    "Senior, which household do you think this flowerpot fell from?"

    "Throwing an object from a high altitude counts as murder?"

    Shang Nan's tone was soft but cold, and every word he said had a meaning.

    Jiang Lin seemed as if he didn't hear him, "What did you say?"

    Shan Nan looked at Jiang Lin intently for a few seconds, and finally smiled softly, "It's nothing, I mean, it's so dangerous."

    "Yes, it's so dangerous." Jiang Lin agreed with Shannan.

    Tong Xi hurriedly ran out of the building after a few minutes. He took a new school bag, but all his homework was soaked. As he ran, he put on his coat and cursed into the air above his head.

    "Fuck you, uncle, I'll call the police later!"

    "Throwing the flowerpot? Why don't you just jump off yourself?"

    Tong Xi wasn't sure who Jiang Lin was talking about. He felt that Jiang Lin shouldn't dare. This was tantamount to intentional murder - if such a big flowerpot was smashed on the head, he would either die or die in an ugly way.

    Leaving Jiang Lin behind, Shang Nan and Tong Xi ran towards the school.Almost late.

    Tong Xi took out her cell phone while running and panting, "I'll call the police by the way."

    "There's no need to call the police, it was Jiang Lin who did it."

    "how do you know?!"

    "You just went upstairs to change clothes. I chatted with him for a while, and I observed it." The wind was blowing on your face like a knife, and it penetrated into your throat every time you spoke, and your throat felt like you had swallowed a knife..

    "Otherwise, could such a big flowerpot have been blown down by the wind? There was no wind just now..." Shannan rested on the tree for a while and continued running forward.

    Tong Xi thought about it and felt that Shannan was right, "Then it's even more important to call the police."

    Shang Nan stopped Tong Xi, "It's not necessary. Killing him is our ultimate goal. It would be inconvenient if he leaves our sight."

    Tong Xi was curious, "How can we kill him? It seems to be illegal."

    "It's not murder!" Shang Nan ran with his heart aching, "He is close to us, so we can observe his condition at any time, and it can also be convenient for Jiang Crucian carp to get back his things. When Jiang crucian carp gets all his things back, maybe, Jiang Lin will not survive."

    It’s too cumbersome to follow the procedure, and you may not get any ideal results in the end.Tong Xi had better put all his energy into studying.

    [14: Blackening value -10.]

    Shang Nan's head was buzzing as he ran, and when they stopped at the school gate, the guard loudly urged them to hurry up. With the 14 notification sound, Shang Nan felt like his brain was turning into a pot of porridge.

    Jiang Lin picked up the wet carpet on the ground, feeling quite confused.

    Just now at home, he called Li Lan. Li Lan, who had always been elegant and intellectual, got angry at him for the first time and even called him a fool.

    Li Lan asked him to go downstairs immediately to pay attention to Shannan and Tong Xi, asked him why he was so uncool, and scolded him for being so stupid and self-assertive. Li Lan finally sighed and said, "Without Jiang Crucian, you really are nothing."

    He looked at the vast white lake, feeling confused and depressed.He knew that this was definitely not the emotion Jiang Crucian would show. Jiang Crucian always knew what he wanted.

    At noon this afternoon, he was going to attend the Q&A session of No. 16 Middle School. Thinking of this, Jiang Lin felt much better.No matter how powerful Jiang Carp is, no matter how powerful he is, he will die. No matter how powerful he is, it can only become his stepping stone.

    Jiang Lin turned around and prepared to go back upstairs. It was too cold outside, but as soon as he turned around, he almost collided with the person behind him before he could stand firmly.

    The facial features of the two faces can be completely overlapped, the former is calm and the latter is frightened.

    Jiang crucian carp slowly raised the corner of his mouth. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Lin's neck. He easily touched the ground and spun around. The lake surface, which was as calm as Jiang crucian carp's eyes, quickly swallowed Jiang Lin's entire head..

    Water splashed everywhere, and Jiang Lin struggled violently. His fingers dug into Jiang Carp's arm, but he failed to leave even a nail mark, but his neck had quickly swelled and turned red due to lack of oxygen.

    At the last moment, Jiang Lin was pulled out of the water by his neck. The cold lake water poured into the lake from his head, face and chin. On the lake surface that looked like broken glass, he saw the reflections of himself and Jiang Lin.Jiang crucian carp's pale face appeared behind him like a ghost, Jiang crucian carp...

    Before he could continue to think deeply, he was pushed into the lake again. His eyes widened in the water, and the water plants and dust floating in it could be seen clearly. The sound of water flowing into his nose and ears was extremely clear.

    Before almost suffocating again, Jiang Lin was pulled out of the water again.

    After repeating this twice, Jiang Lin was already very weak.

    But Jiang Crucian obviously didn't think it was enough, so he pushed Jiang Lin into the water again.

    Jiang Lin's hand slowly let go of Jiang Crucian's arm and dropped to the ground. He was like a piece of pork, pressed into the water and picked up again, pressed into the water and picked up again.

    Finally, Jiang Crucian threw Jiang Lin to the ground. Jiang Lin was dying, while Jiang Crucian squatted by the lake and washed his hands slowly. He looked at the already bright sky, then turned to look at Jiang Lin, "Cousin, long time no see."ah."

    Jiang Lin no longer had the strength to answer him, he had fainted.

    Finally, a group of old men who met in the square to practice Tai Chi in the early morning discovered Jiang Lin and woke him up. Jiang Lin walked home in despair, forgetting to pick up the blanket on the ground.

    There is a girl in Shannan's class who celebrates her birthday today and turns eighteen. They are in a repeat class and most of them are adults. Shannan has already had her coming-of-age ceremony during the summer vacation.

    The girl’s mother sent an oversized double-layered blueberry cake and bought several large bags of snacks, asking the whole class to eat them together.

    So during lunch, no one went to the cafeteria. Instead, they made a fuss about celebrating the girl’s birthday first.

    The birthday girl's name was Xie Yuan. She was held in the middle door by everyone, and they coaxed her to wear a hat and make wishes. Xie Yuan's eyes were obviously red, because the repeater class was not like high school students. They came from all over the country and spent a few months.She was still a stranger before, but everyone could celebrate her birthday with such enthusiasm, and the boring life of repeating studies suddenly became less difficult.

    "I hope we can all get into the university of our dreams."

    "Damn it, it won't work if you say it!" Tong Xi shouted with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He had a fight with Jiang Lin in the morning, and now, all the injuries on his face have been shown.

    Xie Yuan silently made her wish again in her heart.

    Then it was time to blow out the candles and cut the cake.

    Everyone was very considerate, and Shonan also rolled up the test paper and shouted a few happy birthdays. Xie Yuan glanced at Shonan shyly, and Shonan's hand holding the test paper's loudspeaker froze, and he looked away uncomfortably.

    Tong Xi didn't open any pot and said in a low voice: "There's something wrong with that look."

    Shang Nan unfolded the test paper and laid it flat on the table, "You don't seem to be slow at all about other people's affairs."

    Xie Yuan asked someone to hold up two divided pieces of cake and give them to Shonan and Tongxi. Shonan's piece was twice as big as Tongxi's. Even a blind person could see it without comparing.

    "Let me tell you." Tong Xi lowered his head and took a bite of the cake, "Humph, I will tell Jiang crucian carp when I get back tonight, unless you buy me a braised beef in the cafeteria later."

    "Both are fine," Shannan said. In fact, there was no need for Tong Xi to tell Jiang Crucian, because Jiang Crucian was right next to him and he should have heard everything.

    "I'm going to find Jiang crucian carp." Shang Nan held the cake in his hands and planned to leave the classroom through the back door.

    Tong Xi:?Jiang crucian carp is at school?

    There are several empty classrooms on the same floor that are not used yet. They are usually used to store extra desks and chairs. The windows are closed and the curtains are all drawn.

    Shannan chose a classroom with the smallest door area and the shabbiest one. Because there was no monitoring, it didn't even have lights or air conditioning. It was used completely as a warehouse.

    As soon as he locked the door, he turned around and saw Jiang crucian carp.

    "Cake, you like it." Shang Nan handed the cake to Jiang crucian carp. He didn't like sweet things very much, but Jiang crucian carp liked it very much.

    Jiang crucian carp took Shang Nan's hand and bent down to take a bite of the cake. The cream was sweet but not greasy. When the girl shared the cake with Shang Nan, she changed the angle again and again. In the end, she cut out the largest piece of fruit.The thickest piece of cream is also the largest portion.

    "Is it delicious?" Shan Nan asked.

    Jiang crucian carp nodded.

    Jiang crucian carp's face looked much better than before. The blue color in his eyes disappeared, his lips were stained with a thin layer of pink, and even his eyes were moist.

    Shang Nan looked at the other party and thought, Jiang Lin's condition must be a little worse.

    "I saw her cutting a cake for you," Jiang crucian carp swallowed the cream in his mouth and licked the corners of his mouth, "I really hope they all die," he said.

    "What did you say?" Shannan didn't hear clearly.

    Jiang crucian carp tilted his head and smiled innocently, "I said, the cake is really delicious."

    Although Jiang crucian carp has such "good" wishes, he is an evil spirit, and his evil thoughts will only be more and stronger than humans. He likes to admire the south, and of course he hopes that all those suitors will die.

    But Jiang crucian carp knew that this was impossible. The one he liked was Shangnan.From now on...Shang Nan will only have more and more suitors and secret admirers, more and more, more and more, more and more...

    But as long as Shangna loves river crucian carp and only loves river crucian carp, it doesn't matter how many suitors there are.

    Jiang crucian carp kissed Shang Nan with a mouthful of cake in his mouth.

    Shang Nan was most afraid of sweets. When the cream was brought to the door between his lips and teeth, Shang Nan frowned subconsciously, but was forced to raise his head by Jiang Crucian Carp's chin, and the melted cream slid impatiently into his esophagus.

    "You don't like cream." Jiang crucian carp leaned closer to Shannan and smelled the creamy taste on his lips. "I'll help you clean it up. You really hate sweet things, don't you?"

    Jiang crucian carp's next round of attack began again.

    He was about the same age as Shonan when he died. He was trapped in that house for the next few years. The time gate seemed to have no flow in his eyes. He watched the wind, rain and snow in the house.Anyway, he was used to being alone.

    He liked Shannan almost to the point of going crazy, liked the tears he shed for himself, liked how calm he was when things changed, and also liked his occasional venomous tongue and indifference.

    The enthusiasm of a young man, the greed and cruelty of an evil spirit, Jiang crucian carp possesses them all.

    So Shang Nan couldn't resist it at all.

    Shang Nan stayed in this small classroom until class began, until the swelling on his lips subsided.

    By the way, he also accompanied Jiang crucian carp to finish the whole cake.

    Jiang crucian carp told Shang Nan what happened in the morning. Shang Nan was stunned for a while, "Can you act alone?"

    "Suddenly, it's OK." Jiang crucian carp said, "But I still didn't kill him. My cousin was a very stupid person. I didn't criticize him, he was just stupid, so my aunt disliked him, guided him, and put everything I had intoThey were all stuffed into my cousin’s body.”

    "How can a real parent accept that his or her child has turned into a completely different person?" Jiang crucian carp licked the butter off his fork, "I pushed him into the water just to help you vent your anger."

    He didn't know Jiang Lin's real reason for hitting Shang Nan with a flowerpot.

    Shang Nan lay on the table and pushed the plate with butter in front of Jiang Li, "Yes, but your cousin is really annoying. He always touches other people's things casually."

    "Yes, not only do we not like him, but my aunt doesn't like him either." Jiang crucian carp slowly licked the plate clean, with cream on the corners of his lips, "Can I kiss you again?"

    "We're going to attend Jiang Lin's question-and-answer session later, so let's say goodbye." Shannan decisively refused.The river crucian carp is not serious, and Shang Nan’s tongue is still numb to this day.

    When Tong Xi returned to the classroom carrying the plush pendant, he had just finished writing a set of test papers. When he saw Shan Nan, he said, "You didn't come back at noon. Unfortunately, I have already eaten."

    Shannan sat down and said, "I'm not hungry."

    "Where is Jiang Crucian? Where did you find him?" Tong Xi's indifference lasted less than a second before she couldn't hold it back any longer.

    Shang Nan put the pendant on the table.

    Tong Xi was speechless. He looked at the pendant and then at Shannan, "I am eighteen years old, not eight years old, nor eight months old."

    "I did not lie to you."

    Shang Nan's expression didn't seem to be fake. Tong Xi was silent for a long time. Then he looked at the outdated handmade plush pendant with awe in his eyes. He gently picked up the pendant and placed it in front of the test paper. "I pay my respects."." Jiang Lin is so powerful. Since it is all due to Jiang Crucian, then it is not Jiang Lin who is powerful, but Jiang Crucian. Jiang Crucian is the super academic master.

    Ni Ting didn't know what was being whispered about behind her. She put the packing box on the table in front of Shan Nan and whispered, "Tong Xi brought it to you."

    Tong Xi: "I didn't bring it. If you spread rumors, I will sue you."

    Ni Ting was not afraid of the other party at all, "I even added a chicken drumstick for you."

    Tong Xi: "..."

    "Thank you, Xizi." Shannan picked up the lunch box and went to the restaurant on this floor to eat.

    It is said to be a restaurant, but it was actually renovated into a classroom. Dozens of long tables were set up so that some students could eat in the teaching building without making the classroom full of food smell.In addition to tables and chairs, there are several microwaves, and some students will bring their own meals.

    When Shang Nan entered the restaurant, there were many people eating there, doing questions and eating at the same time.

    In winter, food cools quickly, so Shannan opened the lid of the box and threw it into the microwave. While waiting nearby, he received a love letter and a cold dish.

    "Thanks."

    "No, I just want you to know how I feel. I am a repeat student at the end of the class. I wish you can get into the university of your choice."

    Shang Nan looked at the boy's leaving figure and put the love letter into his school uniform pocket. Fortunately, Jiang Li was not there.

    Although Jiang Crucian is young and doesn't have much experience in life, he is not at all jealous. He takes every opportunity to be jealous of everything he can and cannot eat.

    A piece of cake made him murmur endlessly, but what if he saw a love letter?

    [14: If you fall in love with a monster, you will get into trouble.]

    [14: By the way, I have a piece of information for you. Half of Jiang Crucian’s things have been recovered. It is possible that you will be able to meet Jiang Crucian’s aunt in the near future.]

    Shang Nan put rice into his mouth, expressionless, "What's there to see?"

    [14: Maybe the key to clearing the blackening value in the end lies with my aunt. After all, Jiang Crucian once really regarded her as his only relative.Human beings almost always have blind trust in those closest to them.]

    [14: Moreover, Jiang Lin had just had a fight with Tong Xi in the morning, but suddenly he was friendly to you again, and even went downstairs to give Tong Xi a blanket. I think it was Aunt Jiang Lin who was teaching Jiang Lin from behind.]

    Shang Nan's eating speed slowed down, "Tell me, does she really love Jiang Lin, or does she pretend to love Jiang Lin?"

    [14: I don’t know, but many of you human mothers are like this. You care about your children with all your heart and soul, but at the same time you dislike your children.]

    The capacity of the packing box was not large, so Shannan finished the bowl of food, wiped the table, and threw the garbage into the trash can.

    I met a classmate on the way, and Shannan went back to the classroom with him.

    After Shannan prepares to return to the classroom, he finds an opportunity to give Tong Xi a love letter.Jiang crucian carp will not pay so much attention and concern to Tong Xi.

    Shang Nan and Tong Xi were in the last row of the classroom. As soon as they stepped into the classroom, Shang Nan saw Tong Xi lying on the table writing furiously, sweating profusely, and tapping her feet on the ground.

    As he got closer, Shannan saw why Tong Xi was in such a posture again - the pendant was placed in front of the paper by Tong Xi, and it was blocked by the stacked books, and Jiang Ji's fingers would stick out from the pendant from time to time on the paper.Pointing upward.

    Hearing the sound of the chair moving, Tong Xi turned his head and was overjoyed, "Are you finally back?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, he received a moderate slap from Jiang Crucian Carp.

    Tong Xi: "..." Who falls in love with whom and goes to this capital university?!

    He plucked up the courage, grabbed the pendant, and stuffed it into Shan Nan's pocket.

    At the same time, he said bitterly: "I admit that Jiang Crucian Carp has really helped me a lot in my studies, but he is really fierce."

    Shannan slowly found an assignment and said, "You took the pendant away yourself."

    "That being said, can you please ask him to be gentle?"

    "Do you want the evil ghost to be gentler to you?" Shang Nan raised his eyebrows, completely standing up and talking without pain in his back.In fact, he also knew that he could talk while standing without pain in his back, because when he was bitten by the river crucian carp just now, he also desperately hoped that the river crucian carp could be gentler.

    "...Isn't he very gentle to you?" Tong Xi wiped the sweat from his face. There was heating in the classroom, and Jiang crucian carp was staring at him while he was doing his homework. He was completely worried about doing the questions and could finally take a break.Son, he drank a large glass of water, "Yes, of course he is gentle when you two fall in love."

    After listening to Tong Xi's words, Shang Nan's face froze before the relaxed look on his face lasted long.

    He slowly lowered his head and looked at the right pocket of his school uniform. He seemed to have put the love letter into this pocket. Just now... Tong Xi grabbed the pendant and seemed to have put it into this pocket as well?

    Shang Nan pretended to be calm, stuffed his hand into his pocket and took out the pendant.

    "..."

    Then, he took out the love letter from his pocket.

    Shang Nan looked at the love letter in his hand - it had already been opened.
