Chapter 51: Dream and Malice

“Chen Nuo, Chen Nuo, your name is Chen Nuo, that’s great.” I opened my eyes and found myself standing in a strange courtyard. A woman with a silver bell-like laugh was dancing lightly in front of me like a swallow, talking to me.

Chen Nuo? Am I Chen Nuo? I was a little confused, and looked up at my surroundings. Although everything was black and white, I could feel the warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze. It was a beautiful spring day.

I felt very comfortable, a gentle feeling that I can’t quite describe. It was like I was surrounded by a soft, relaxing atmosphere.

But I don’t know the woman dancing in front of me, who keeps calling me Chen Nuo. Who is she?

I couldn’t see her face clearly because she never turned around. I could only see that she was wearing very simple clothes, but they couldn’t hide her beautiful figure. I saw a beautiful black braid flying in the wind, a very beautiful picture.

“Who are you?” I asked.

But I felt a sudden weight in my arms, and then a body fell into my arms: “Chen Nuo, you’re pretending to be stupid again, aren’t you? Don’t you know me? I hate it!”

It was a completely girlish tone, and it was so beautiful that it felt like a first love. The air around me was even softer, and a nice smell of oranges drifted in the air. I thought I should hold her tightly and never let her be sad for the rest of her life. This thought came to my mind, and I reached out my hands…

However, my hands were frozen in mid-air. I don’t know why, but a thought of resistance came from the bottom of my heart. I remember that in the bottom of my heart, there is only one figure that can make me hold her tightly, not her. I was even more confused!

At this moment, I felt that I should think about many things, but the softness around me made me not want to think at all.

“Chen Nuo, why don’t you hug me? What are you thinking?” The woman in my arms hugged me and said in a slightly angry voice. Her tone was a little resentful, but it was more of a kind of cute innocence that made people numb to the bone.

“What am I thinking?” I frowned slightly. I didn’t know what I was thinking at all, but I instinctively felt that I shouldn’t refuse her.

“Chen Nuo, do you like me?” Her hands embraced my back, gently stroking my back, as gentle as a breeze.

“I like…” I was dazed and wanted to say yes, I like you, but I found that I couldn’t say it, and I was still resisting deep in my heart, telling me that that sentence of like would only be said to one figure…

“Chen Nuo, why aren’t you talking? Don’t you like me anymore?” The woman in my arms seemed to be angry, her voice became plaintive, and her hands on my back began to press harder.

I didn’t know what to say, and I didn’t know how to answer. Suddenly, I just wanted to look down to see her clearly, but she buried her face in my arms, so deep that I couldn’t see her clearly at all.

“Chen Nuo, you don’t even hug me anymore.”

“Chen Nuo, why don’t you say anything?”

“Chen Nuo, you liar, you really are a liar, you will always betray me!” The woman in my arms was getting more and more severe in her tone, and her tone was getting faster and faster, and the hands holding me were getting tighter and tighter, as if she were going to strangle me here.

I began to feel a deep sense of resistance from the bottom of my heart, and subconsciously wanted to push her away. She suddenly said in a low voice, “You want to push me away, don’t you? I’ve known it for a long time. You want to push me away, don’t you?”

No! A bolt of lightning flashed through my mind. I’m not Chen Nuo, I’m Chen Chengyi. The one I can hug and say I like is Ruoxue, not her. Who is she? Where am I? Why is everything black and white?

I suddenly came to my senses and tried to push her away again, but I felt her hands holding me, and her fingernails digging into my back. She said viciously, “Since you want to push me away, I’ll make sure you never leave!”

“Are you crazy!” I shouted angrily. The sharp pain in my back made me break out in a cold sweat and start struggling violently. Then I felt a burst of lucidity…

Then, I opened my eyes, a little confused, and saw a dim table lamp in front of me, emitting a warm light that made me feel at ease. I was lying on a soft pillow, but my back still hurt terribly.

I couldn’t help but moan and writhe a bit, but then a voice came from behind me: “Chen Chengyi, if you want to live, don’t move, otherwise the poison will flow into your heart with the blood, and even our master can’t save you.”

This voice was so familiar, and I knew it was my brother’s as soon as I heard it. But what was “yin poison,” and what did he mean by “I want my life”? I had no idea, but at that moment, I felt another sharp pain in my stomach, and I felt extremely uncomfortable lying down.

“Endure it!” A cold voice appeared next to me, and then he reached out and stuffed a pillowcase in my mouth. It was Brother Chengqing, and now I didn’t even have the freedom to ask questions.

“Chengyi, listen up. I’m going to do it now. You have to cooperate with me. You know how to use your power to expel the poison, right? I don’t need to explain it to you, do I?” Chengxin said in a serious voice.

I couldn’t help it anymore, ripped off the pillowcase and yelled at Chengxin, “What are you guys up to? I’m poisoned, you have to at least tell me what’s going on.”

I turned around and found that everyone was gathered in my room, all looking at me with serious expressions. Xiao Chengqian walked into the bathroom and after a loud ‘crackling’ sound, he was holding a large mirror in his hand. Then he walked up to me and put a small mirror in my hand and said to me, “Look carefully!”

My face in the mirror was already as white as a sheet, so white that I could even see the veins under my skin. This little delicate thing… is it supposed to be me?

But suddenly, Xiao Chengqian raised the large mirror to shine on my back, and the image of my back was reflected on the small mirror in my hand.

“What do you think? Welcome to enjoy it?” Xiao Chengqian put down the mirror and leaned over to my ear, grinding his teeth and said, “Chen Chengyi, you son of a bitch, it’s time you told us the truth.”

A cold sweat ran down my forehead. Although it was only for a moment, I clearly saw that a large area of my back was black, and there were two clear arm marks at the waist, as if the figure of a person hugging me from behind was clearly imprinted on my sadness.

With a ‘pop’, a plastic bag was thrown in front of me, containing several dark objects.

“Don’t doubt it. It’s a few pieces of rotten flesh shaved off the wound around your stomach.” Cheng Xin’s lazy voice sounded in my ear again, but it was more dissatisfied.

My mind was in a complete mess. Even if I were Chen Erhu, I would understand what was going on. The places that the ghost had touched had all turned into this. Except for my hands, because they were protected by the agarwood beads?

I’m not sure, but I know one thing: when a ghost reaches a certain level, the negative energy in its body, including the negative energy of resentment, gathers and can also be materialized, turning it into the most ferocious negative energy. Once it enters the bloodstream, it is the time for the negative energy to attack.

This situation is similar to the case of a village being shrouded in a fog of resentment for a long time, which affects some snakes, insects, rodents and ants, causing them to mutate. But how can the fog of resentment compare to the evil poison that the ghost Rakshasa carries with him? He can release this evil poison at any time if he wants to!

Fuck, because I thought that the ghost Rakshasa was only a legendary existence, I had forgotten about this. I was furious all of a sudden. If it weren’t for Brother Chengxin’s action this time, Chen Chengyi would have been enough to hang a hundred times.

“Let’s get rid of the poison first. I’ll tell you what happened later. I…” Before I could finish, I suddenly smelled a faint scent of oranges in the room.

I remembered the strange dream, and when I looked up, I saw a red figure reflected in the arch of the headboard.

I suddenly felt tense all over, and suddenly turned my head and yelled, “Who ate the tangerine? Who’s there?”
