After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 70 Sunk in the Sea

The time in the illusion was fast, two or three pages of the calendar on the wall were torn off, and finally reached the 24th.

On March 2004, 3, a bus carried all the students in Class 24 to a lecture in the city center.On the way back, the driver fainted suddenly on the coastal bridge, and the bus broke through the railing and sank into the deep sea. Only Wu Runzhi survived.

For the past two or three days, Lu Yingjiu watched his classmates play tricks to death.

Wu Runzhi had no choice but to carefully protect Fang Yu and Jiang Ruyun—one was his good brother and the other was a girl he had a crush on. He was clinging to them all day long, just for fear that something would happen to them.

Now there are only four or five people left in the class, including Fang and Jiang. Wu Runzhi's love and care are indispensable.

As a result, Wu Runzhi and Fang Yu came to the classroom happily after having breakfast early in the morning. When they saw the calendar with "24th" written on it, they burst into tears again.

"Fang Yu!" he shouted, "Hurry up and play another game with me!"

"I can't do it today." Fang Yu said while catching up on physics homework, "I still have three pages to write for my homework, and I have to listen to that stupid lecture in the afternoon. How can I have time?"

"I'll copy the homework for you!" Wu Runzhi shouted again.

"No, I was caught copying your homework last time, and I wrote a fucking thousand-word review." Fang Yu kept writing with the pen in his hand, "I don't want it."

Wu Runzhi was furious, and grabbed the physics homework book in his hand, "If you don't play basketball with me, you don't want to go back to this homework."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

It could be seen that Wu Runzhi was dying of anxiety.

Fang Yu:? ? ?

He was full of question marks: "Why are you crazy, why don't you usually see you so active?"

After speaking, he still felt upright, so Wu Runzhi forcibly took him to the playground.

For the next few 10 minutes, the two men played on the playground.

Lu Yingjiu sat in the classroom, listening to Teacher Ghost's lectures boredly, and chatted with Jing Xian by the way.

Chu Banyang and Yao Gou didn't know where they went, they might be wandering around in the school, the classroom was empty.

Listening, Lu Yingjiu lost his mind.

Chu Qianju, Zhang Family Chu Family, Heavenly Dao and Sacrifice...

Those words lingered in his mind, like a dark cloud that could not be dispelled.

He thought of his mother Zhuang Xue's hard work over the years - running around, looking for different exorcists to disperse his bad luck.And he had no playmates since he was a child, and he lived a lonely childhood with fear.

He originally thought that the reason why he had such an amazing talent for exorcising ghosts was that fate gave him compensation for his different physique from ordinary people.

But now someone tells him that everything is man-made.

The compensation he thought was what he should have had, only bad luck was imposed on him.Now those so-called aristocratic families are still obsessed with that unfinished ceremony, and want to return him to the way of heaven.

As Lu Yingjiu thought about it, there was a lingering haze between her beautiful brows.

Teacher Ghost was still chattering and expressive on the podium, and Jing Xian beside him lightly touched his elbow.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yingjiu asked, turning around.

He couldn't help stretching his brows and eyes, almost subconsciously, leaving those chaotic thoughts behind.

"I drew our wedding photo." Jing Xian showed him the notebook.

On it are two stick figures standing together holding hands and showing bad smiles.There was a messy thing like a ball of yarn behind it, Lu Yingjiu suspected it was the sea.

Lu Yingjiu: "...you do this kind of thing in class?"

"No," Jing Xian said, "I've been staring at you for a long time, but you haven't looked at me."

"Listen to the class carefully," Lu Yingjiu teased, "There is no school in the ghost world, right? Why don't you study hard?"

Teacher Ghost coughed from above: "Students below, don't talk small things."

Jing Xian didn't pay any attention at all, quietly took Lu Yingjiu's hand under the desk, and said in a low voice, "I'll show you what else you want to see."

Lu Yingjiu thought for a while: "Aren't you the ghost king? You should have many subordinates. You can draw them for me."

Respecting his leisure, he stuffed Lu Yingjiu with a few packets of snacks, took him with his left hand, and doodled with a pen in his right hand.

After each drawing, he showed it to Lu Yingjiu.

"This is the Night God."

A long line spewed out of a stickman's mouth - Lu Yingjiu guessed that it was his tongue, flying and curling in the air.

"It's black and white."

Two stick figures without feet, floating in the air, one head is black, the other head is white, looks a bit scary.

"This is bull head and horse noodles."

Two stick figures with polygonal heads appeared, and Lu Yingjiu couldn't tell which was a cow and which was a horse.

Jing Xian drew several more in succession.

Without his explanation, Lu Yingjiu wouldn't be able to recognize anyone.

While drawing and drawing, Jingxian got closer and closer to him.Lu Yingjiu was sitting by the window and had nowhere to hide, so the two of them were almost squeezed together.

Lu Yingjiu whispered, "What are you doing here?"

"It's the same for other young couples in class, they still hug each other." Jing Xian said.

Lu Yingjiu: "Why have I never seen such a blatant couple. And why do you have to hold my hand? It's been more than ten minutes."

He wanted to withdraw his right hand, but Jingxian didn't want to, so he rubbed against him more vigorously——

"Snapped!"

The teacher on the podium slapped the table and said angrily, "What's the matter with you two?! Do you think I don't exist? Even two male classmates can't hug each other like this!"

Lu Yingjiu tried his best to push Jing Xian away: "You see, the teacher has an opinion! There are still people around!"

"They're just ghosts, they don't have any consciousness at all." Jing Xian put his arms around his waist, rubbed against his neck contentedly, and smelled the light fragrance from his hair, "Let's skip class and go to a corner where no one is around to make love one time……"

"Stop! Listen to the class!" The teacher shouted again.

Jing Xian raised his hand, a book on the table was picked up by the dark wind, and with the ear-piercing sound of breaking wind, the book flew out spinning and hit the teacher, directly knocking him into a cloud of black mist and dissipating in the air.

Lu Yingjiu: "...too violent."

The students around said "Okay!"

Then happily dismiss get out of class early, no ghost cares about his teacher.

Lu Yingjiu looked out the window, and the remaining male students joined Wu Runzhi and Fang Yu's basketball game, and the playground suddenly became lively.

Jiang Ruoyun was wearing crisp white clothes, holding a bottle of drink, still standing on the edge of the basketball court, waiting for Wu Runzhi's game to end.

She brushed the broken hair by her ears, and her eyes were filled with the innocence and beauty of a young man.

The classroom was empty.

Jing Xian hugged Lu Yingjiu as he wished, and kissed him on the face several times.

Lu Yingjiu let him play hooligans again, leaned against the corner to catch up on sleep, but was pulled over by Jing Xian to pillow on his shoulder.

"Sleep peacefully!" he promised, "I'm here."

Lu Yingjiu pushed away his hand that was on his waist, almost reaching into his clothes, and said vaguely: "I don't feel at ease just because you are here."

Jing Xian grinned.

Lu Yingjiu fell asleep in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Runzhi finally returned to the classroom with a group of good brothers.

He was sweating profusely and elated, but when he saw the calendar on the wall, he started crying again.

He cried and shouted: "Don't get on that bus this afternoon! Don't go to that shabby lecture!"

A group of ghosts laughed and hung shoulder to shoulder with him, not listening to his warning at all.

Wu Runzhi whimpered and cried for a while, then sat blankly on the seat.

Jiang Ruoyun was sitting beside him, looking at him, as if she wanted to say something.

Wu Runzhi turned around, grabbed her hand and asked, "I've asked you many times, but I want to ask again, do you have any wish?"

"...wish?" Jiang Ruoyun thought for a while, "Get into a good university?"

"No, no." Wu Runzhi was anxious, "Didn't you call me back in your dream? There must be something you want to tell me, you want me to help you? Today is the last day. If you don’t say anything else, you won’t have a chance!”

Jiang Ruoyun was still quiet and downcast.

She tilted her head in doubt, and said softly, "I don't know what you're talking about..."

Wu Runzhi grabbed a few more people and continued to question, but it didn't work.

Lu Yingjiu looked at him and said, "Don't you have any guesses?"

"Really not." Wu Runzhi was almost out of his wits, "If they don't tell, how could I know? I'm going to never see them soon, woo woo woo woo."

He could recall everything at that time just by closing his eyes.

In fact, that scene often appeared in his nightmares.

On the bus returning from the city center, there was a car of drowsy students, and no one thought that disaster would befall them.

"boom!!"

There was a loud noise, followed by a terrifying sense of weightlessness.The screams exploded in Wu Runzhi's ears, the world spun, the car broke through the railing, and they finally fell into the icy sea water.

The window glass was shattered, and the heavy sea water poured in and poured into their mouths and noses.Wu Runzhi's water skills are good, but at this moment, he was still pressed tightly in the car by the water, unable to move.He could barely start to move until the car was filled with water——

But he was too panicked.

The surroundings were dim, as if he had fallen into an abyss. He couldn't see anything clearly, and he couldn't even find an exit among countless struggling people. The biting temperature of the sea water was like maggots, and they drilled sharply into his bones.

[Where is the window? 】

[The surroundings are so dark, am I going to die? 】

[I want to breathe, I want to breathe, I want to breathe...]

In a daze, there was a huge force on his collar, and someone was trying to pull him in one direction.

Exercising strength in the water is extremely difficult. Even the most professional rescuers must be cautious, so as not to be entangled and suffocated by the panicked drowning person.

Like most drowning victims, Wu Runzhi instinctively scratched.

Until a beam of light shone on his face.

——In retrospect, it was this light that gave him the courage to calm down.

His mind miraculously calmed down a little, and he struggled in the direction that the man was pulling him, and actually touched a hard object.

That's the window frame of the bus.

There was still a circle of dog-tooth-like shattered glass standing on the window frame. When Wu Runzhi grabbed it so tightly, blood immediately spread out.But he didn't feel any pain at all. He grabbed the window frame and swam out with all his strength.

First he got out of the bus, then out of the light of the flashlight.

The way up was very long, and in the pitch darkness, he could hardly feel any direction, so he could only go up by instinct.The lungs were so painful that they exploded, the heart was pounding, barely squeezed out a little oxygen from the blood vessels...

"what--!"

The second he probed out, he let out a terrifying gasp.

The headache was splitting, he was like a lonely boat in the swaying waves, a few strands of black hair stuck to his ears, but the oxygen filled his lungs after all.

After slowly regaining consciousness, he looked around at the dark sea around him.

He was the only one.

Those teenagers carried a beautiful dream and disappeared into the waves.

They drowned in the sea, leaving Wu Runzhi alone.

"..."

At this moment, in the brightly sunny classroom, Wu Runzhi held his head in his hands.

After a long time, he said: "I recalled it later, in fact, with the light of the flashlight, I saw the person who dragged me."

"It was Fang Yu who pulled me in that direction."

"He just bought that flashlight, saying that he was going to break into the teaching building that night and steal his confiscated mobile phone. I watched him hold the flashlight and study it on and off along the way."

Wu Runzhi smiled wryly: "His water skills are much better than mine, I know that. But why, in the end, I escaped and he didn't?"

Lu Yingjiu said: "Luck is also a very important factor."

"Maybe it's luck." Wu Runzhi still smiled wryly, "But I kept thinking, if he didn't try to pull me to the window that day, if he didn't spend so much effort and time, he might have survived... "

He rubbed his face: "There is one more thing that I haven't told you all this time."

"I didn't take the college entrance examination after that, neither did I take the second year, nor did I take the third year. I never took the college entrance examination again, so I came out to work directly."

"I have a bad relationship with my family, and I haven't been in touch for a long time. During that time, I couldn't sleep at all, and when I closed my eyes, I saw the sea, and my struggling friends. I took medicine, and I took depression medicine for a long time, I had countless thoughts of suicide."

His spirits sank.

Lu Yingjiu saw that there was a faint black mist around him.

People with this kind of black mist often have extremely poor mental state and weak survival awareness.It also makes them very vulnerable to ghosts.

However, since Wu Runzhi mentioned it, he had suicidal tendencies...

Lu Yingjiu asked: "I want to ask you a more personal question. Have you had any thoughts of suicide recently?"

Wu Runzhi was stunned for a moment: "I have always had it, but..."

He hesitated.

After all, it takes courage to speak out such a personal emotion.

A few seconds later, he continued: "I've been under a lot of work pressure recently, and my family has problems. In the past two months, I've stood on the rooftop three or four times, maybe more, I don't remember. Every time Just one step away, just one step away, and I can finish it all. Maybe this period of time is really the worst time for me."

Lu Yingjiu said: "And you will dream about your classmates, just in the last two months?"

"Yes," Wu Runzhi nodded, "If it wasn't for this dream...if it wasn't for my desire to see them again and go back to school to see if they still have their wish, I might have jumped off."

Lu Yingjiu thought for a while: "Then it's possible that these ghosts didn't call you back because they wanted you to help them realize their wishes."

"What else could it be?" Wu Runyi was taken aback.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bell rang in the corridor.

The afternoon class is about to start.

But their class does not have classes in the afternoon, and in another half an hour, everyone will board that bus.

Although the students in class 2 died a lot, they managed to survive a few and didn't let this illusion end early.

And that's enough.

They have waited for the end of the story.

The bell rang, and the entire illusion began to change continuously. The building was twisting, the clock was melting, the flowers on the windowsill bloomed and withered... In the classroom, books were piled high, and the kettle reflected the bright sunlight.There were books, pens and countless unfinished test papers spread out on the table, as if his classmates had just left their seats and would be back soon.

The black mist in the air was gathering, and the dead students were constantly gathering.

In less than three or four seconds, the empty classroom was full of people.

The blackboard is full of tonight's homework, and the flowers in the flower pots are beautiful.

Friends sat in the past seats, laughter filled the classroom.

Wu Runzhi opened his eyes wide.

Countless pieces of paper appeared out of thin air on his desk, all in fonts he was familiar with, and all the names of people he was familiar with, with lines of messages written on them.

[You have to work hard, there are countless tomorrows =v=]

[We will go to the Internet cafe to hack in the future, I promise I won't cheat you! 】

[I really like taking table tennis lessons with you, your backhand is very good]

【Going to live hard! 】

[I remember that you are a very optimistic person, I hope you will always be happy]

【…】

Fang Yu came over and hooked his shoulder: "I had a great time these few days, next time we have a chance, let's play a ball game together again! I won't let you in again. There are new games and movies. , we will have a chance to go out and climb over the wall together! We will meet again!"

Jiang Ruoyun next to him was still quiet, with a blush on his face, bit his lips and said to him, "Actually, I have always liked you...so I hope that you can really find happiness. You are a very brave person. "

Wu Runzhi's vision blurred.

No matter how hard he tried to look, he couldn't see the faces of the people around him clearly. He wiped his eyes with all his strength, and finally saw their smiles.

"boom!"

Small colored ribbons flew up in the classroom, descending in colorful circles, and landed on Wu Runzhi's shoulder.

He looked back and saw the school emblem, clouds and sunflowers painted on the blackboard newspaper, orange red, brilliant yellow, sky blue... Various colors came together lively in front of his eyes, resembling this colorful youth.

They are surrounded by several large characters in the middle:

[We are graduating! 】

This is a graduation ceremony they owe Wu Runzhi.

It finally came true decades later.

Lu Yingjiu said beside him: "It's also possible that they asked you to come back because they want you to let go of the past and untangle your heart. You are their real wish."

With laughter and applause, everyone looked at Wu Runzhi expectantly, with encouragement and anticipation in their eyes, as if putting all their strength and hope on him.

He broke down in sobs.
