"Miss." A gentle voice sounded next to her.
Lin Miao opened her eyes suddenly, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She was obviously the only one in the carriage just now, but now there was a man sitting in the seat opposite.
A man wearing... A Republican-style gown.
Dark blue fabric, stand-up collar, plate buttons, cuffs rolled up to reveal white wrists. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, with an unrealistically handsome face, and his skin was almost transparent under the cold white light of the carriage. The most eye-catching thing is the eyes. The pupils are slightly lighter than ordinary people, like amber soaked in a clear spring.
Lin Miao's first reaction was: cosplayer? Or some kind of prank show?
"You..." Her voice was a little dry, "What's the matter?"
The man smiled slightly, that smile was polite and distant, but it was inexplicably hard to look away from. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm looking at my lady's face. Her horoscope is extremely yin, and her mysterious energy is leaking out without her realizing it. Have you often felt something strange around you recently?"
Lin Miao was stunned...
"For example," he continued in that gentle but clear tone, "hearing unknown noises in the middle of the night, electronic equipment malfunctioning for no reason, or... Always feeling like someone is peeping in the dark?"
Every word was like a hammer hitting Lin Miao's heart.
Starting last week, something really wasn't right in the old apartment she rented. She kept hearing footsteps on the ceiling in the middle of the night, but no one was living upstairs. Her phone and computer would freeze and restart from time to time. The weirdest thing was that the night before yesterday, when she was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, she caught a glimpse of more than just her in the mirror...
But she kept telling herself: Old houses are like this. It may be a problem with the water pipes or circuits, or hallucinations caused by high work pressure...
"Who are you?" Lin Miao moved to the side warily, "Promoting feudal superstition? Or some new type of fraud?"
"My surname is Shen, and my name is Qingxuan. I am not a liar, but... A kind reminder." He paused, and his eyes fell on Lin Miao's face. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the flesh and see something deeper. "Miss, if your hall is dark, there will be a bloody disaster within three days. If you believe me, you can prepare early."
…
Lin Miao worked overtime until late at night, and met a strange man in a long gown on the last subway train.
He said she would suffer a bloody disaster within three days.
He said she was a "container of mysterious energy".
He said that his name was Shen Qingxuan, he was a night watchman who had lived for more than a thousand years, and he needed her mysterious energy to survive.
Lin Miao: ... Are you so sophisticated in deception these days?
Until the next day, her reflection in the mirror smiled at her.
On the third day, the evil spirit strangled her neck.
When he was about to die, the man really appeared.
Shen Qingxuan: Sign the contract and I will protect you.
Lin Miao looked at the terms: provide profound energy every day, live together, and fight side by side?
Shen Qingxuan: And——
"Be my symbiotic partner."
From then on, the life of ordinary social worker Lin Miao was completely derailed.
Revise the design draft during the day and fight evil spirits at night.
While dealing with PUA in the workplace, he also deals with the Xuanmen pursuit.
I also want to teach my thousand-year-old roommate how to use smartphones.
Shen Qingxuan was also very distressed.
Modern life is too complicated, you don't know how to use electrical appliances, and you can't tell the difference between takeaways.
But the most complicated thing is——
He seemed to be attracted to this girl who was always complaining and charging him at the same time.
Later, various Xuanmen factions besieged and tried to take away Lin Miao's "container".
Shen Qingxuan stood in front of her, his blue shirt stained with blood, but his eyes were firmer than ever:
"A hundred years ago I protected the common people."
"Now, I just want to protect you."
