we are just monsters

Chapter 68

"Can I see her? Can I talk to her? I'm a vampire, she's a ghost, we should be the same, old Gu, old Gu!"

Zhao Hong looked left and right, but she couldn't see anything, but she knew that Qing'er was here, and after more than fifty years, she came back again, looking for Lao Gu.

Although dead.

But it’s still Qing’er, who will be by my side to listen to her nagging, learn how to knit a sweater with her, listen to her dislike of Lao Chen’s stink, and mend clothes together...

As a vampire, she has no children, because she didn't want them to live in hiding, so she unknowingly raised Qing'er as a daughter. When Gu Cheng wanted to leave, she strongly opposed it, but they were not human. They are a few monsters hiding in the mundane world.

Zhao Hong stretched out his hand to touch the air, Xia Xiaoman moved closer and pressed his face against it, but he couldn't touch it.

"You can't see it." Gu Cheng stood aside and said.

"Didn't you say before that you can teach Lao Chen something, can you teach it?"

"Do you believe me when I tease him?"

"Don't hide your secrets, teach me!"

"To die is to die. You blood races don't have soul talent. It's not something you learned. I just wanted to teach him how to save souls, burn incense and so on. If you can feel a little bit, you'll be like a witch."

What Gu Cheng said disappointed Zhao Hong. She also thought that before Chen Hua’s habit of staying out at night hadn’t changed, Gu Cheng had taught him to save ghosts. Anyway, he had nothing to do in the middle of the night. It's better to go down the mountain with him to find something instead of squatting up.

"There is only one way to make you feel her." Gu Cheng looked at Zhao Hong's appearance and sighed softly.

"What way?" Zhao Hong asked immediately.

Xia Xiaoman stood beside her and did not look at Gu Cheng.

"It's just not applicable to you, Lao Chen is easier than you."

"what?"

Zhao Hong froze for a moment, the more people who don't want to see ghosts, the easier it is to sense them?She suspected that Gu Cheng was playing tricks on her.

"In words that you can understand, she is similar to... a quantum state, and will be affected by the observer. If you look at her very intently, you will be absolutely invisible. Only when you are inadvertent, you may occasionally glimpse or hear her , the moment you notice her again, she will disappear."

"... Oh." Zhao Hong was stunned, as if she understood, but also as if she didn't understand. "That is to say, the more I want to see her, the less I see her?"

"You may think so."

Gu Cheng nodded.

"When some people are seriously ill or confused, they will change from strong observers to weak observers. At that time, they are more likely to see ghosts. Well... the term 'observer' is likely to cause ambiguity, but it is actually an interaction effect."

Zhao Hong didn't speak anymore, just looked at the air in front of her, wanted to see someone, but could only see someone when she didn't want to see her, and once she seriously wanted to see her, she couldn't see her instead.

"Old Chen said he heard it."

"Because he was very focused on doing other things at the time, when he realized where the voice came from, he couldn't hear it anymore."

Gu Cheng remembered that Chen Hua had seen a ghost once when he was in the countryside many years ago, "Do you remember the time when Chen Hua met a ghost?"

"Yes, why can he talk to ghosts?" Zhao Hong also remembered that incident.

"Because he was not smart, he didn't realize that the person in front of him was a ghost, so he could communicate with the old lady. When he realized it later, the old lady disappeared, scaring him half to death."

"puff……"

Xia Xiaoman couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that Chen Hua was talking to a ghost old lady, and realized that the other party was a ghost, and then the ghost old lady suddenly disappeared because he realized this, scaring Chen Hua half to death. Want to have fun.

'Mother, why don't you have feet? '

'Because I'm dead. '

'? ! '

Then it disappeared with a whiff.

What kind of crap Chen Hua was in his heart at that time, it is no longer possible to think about it now.

In fact, many folk ghost stories have similar shadows: a boy who hasn’t seen each other for a long time thousands of miles away suddenly contacts him, the protagonist talks about the old days with him, talks about the past, and has some regrets in the novel, and then the protagonist and his family bring it up. But he said that Fa Xiao had died a few days ago, Yun Yun.

Some people heard some whispers and people walking at the scene of the fire ruins, but when they opened the door, there was nothing, it was empty, and they couldn't hear it any more.

Once you realize something, you can never go back.

Zhao Hong was silent for a while, her face complicated.

The yin and yang are separated, probably this is the real yin and yang.

Only if you don’t know, don’t miss it, can you see it, and if you don’t realize it, how can you miss it?The more you miss it, the less visible it becomes.

What a sad thing.

"It's okay, I know she's still here, so I feel relieved, your master doesn't love you, I love you, just tell me what you want." Zhao Hong forced a smile.

She closed her eyes and tried to imagine that Xia Xiaoman was in front of her eyes, but in vain.

"Be nice to her." Zhao Hong said to Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng looked at Xia Xiaoman, who rolled his eyes at him.

"She said, don't worry, I treated her very well, even better than before. I bought a lot of new clothes for her, gave her a lot of food, and left a share of everything for her." Gu Cheng said.

Xia Xiaoman:? ?
Wang Aimin, you have to be ashamed!

"I'll go buy some clothes another day, you help me..." Zhao Hong gestured, "Burn it for her?"

"Okay, okay!" Xia Xiaoman nodded, and said to Gu Cheng, "I want the popular one."

"She said no need, I couldn't finish what I bought for her." Gu Cheng said.

"……also."

Zhao Hong nodded, looked at the air again, and sighed faintly.

"Actually... it's good to be a ghost, don't forget to reincarnate, maybe we can meet you when we move." She said to the air.

Xia Xiaoman was silent for a while, lowered his head and did not speak.

"By the way, my aunt is a vampire, that is, the kind of vampire in the movie, but it's not the same. We don't suck human blood. In addition to having a longer life span, we don't like sunlight, and we have some strange habits. Lao Gu should tell you. , but I still want to tell you something.”

Qing'er wanted to say this when she was alive, but now it's decades late.

Zhao Hong wanted to hug her very much, so she stretched out her hand and put it down again. She glanced at Gu Cheng, she was a little sad, and turned back.

"Maybe Lilith has a solution, wait for her to come back and ask." Gu Cheng said suddenly.

"any solution?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing. The witch is very mysterious. When she turns into a cat, she can see the soul of the dead." Gu Cheng thought about it.

In the era of witch hunting, black cats were executed along with a large number of women, and vampires and werewolves gradually disappeared.

In the thirteenth century, Pope George VI proclaimed the black cat the incarnation of the witch.

The structures in the west are different from theirs, did witches have some kind of function in that era?
