Chapter 255: Not a Change, but a Changed Person
It doesn't feel good to know that someone is secretly thinking about you, especially when that person is someone you have treated sincerely.
There was a chill in Ranran's eyes and brows, which made Shen Dinghai, who was following beside him, shiver.
"Ning Wu, the person staying in Wang Hua's body is not Sister Mei. I can be sure of that."
After all, they had been together, albeit for only a short period of time, but it was enough for Ranran to make a judgment.
"Maybe the person in Wang Hua's body is the one behind Sister Mei."
"It's so complicated. I thought I could just catch ghosts and deal with monsters, but why are there such complicated and confusing problems to solve..."
"I really don't know what Master Mei and the people behind him are planning. Why are they thinking about removing the seal on you, my cousin?"
Shen Dinghai scratched his head. "Although there are negative effects to unlocking the seal, and they are huge negative effects, it is also a means for you, my cousin, to become stronger..."
"Master Mei and the people behind him hope that you, my cousin, will become more and more powerful?"
In an instant, many strange thoughts flashed through Shen Dinghai's mind.
Some evil villain wants to train my cousin and then take her body as a container.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was reliable. After all, Ning Wu did not change his own appearance to appear in front of him, but borrowed Wang Hua's body.
Shen Dinghai told Ran Ran about this idea, "Maybe the person behind Master Mei is not a person at all, but just a soul or something. He has no physical body and needs a strong physical body to target you, cousin."
"I don't know. If you can't figure it out now, forget it. There are no more clues for us to guess. Besides, I just unlocked the second seal. They shouldn't come looking for me so soon."
Ran Ran's eyes were cold, "Since we suspect this matter is related to our father and mother, let's talk about it after we return to the mountain."
Shen Dinghai was confused. "Cousin, didn't you say that you didn't want to go back to the mountain because of your great grandfather and great grandmother's instructions?"
Ran Ran sneered for some reason, she said truthfully: "I didn't go back before, not for this reason."
"It's that I didn't want to go back. Now that I want to go back, I will naturally change my decision."
Shen Dinghai endured the goose bumps all over his body and said weakly: "Why..."
"I know there is a group of people secretly targeting me, and it is very likely related to my parents. I want to find them to verify it. Is this difficult to understand?"
Seeing Shen Dinghai's face full of shock, Ranran simply made her words more clearly.
"I didn't go back before because it didn't endanger me. Now that I realize there is such a possibility, I naturally want to find a way to nip it in the bud."
"As for what you said, nephew, about worrying about your parents' emotions..."
Ran Ran ignored Shen Dinghai's surprised look and said directly: "I didn't."
She put her hand on her chest and looked into Shen Dinghai's eyes. "Not at all. I can feel that here, it won't speed up because of the scene where my father and mother might be in danger."
"I didn't say a word of falsehood."
"What Ning Wu said is right. Feelings of worry and pity have disappeared from me."
She put her hand down. "It was there before, but now it's gone."
"Whether you call me selfish or cold-hearted, nephew, I need to tell you this fact."
Shen Dinghai was completely immersed in horror. He was like a stiff stone statue and did not move for a long time.
Ran Ran looked away. "I can roughly foresee that this change in me will be unacceptable to some people. I don't know if you are one of these people, nephew."
Belongs! Of course he belongs!
Shen Dinghai suppressed his shock and said, "Cousin, you...you are not changing anymore..."
"You've become a completely different person!"
“Maybe you have forgotten what you were like before, but I still remember!”
Ran Ran lowered her eyelashes and said lightly: "Really?"
"So you have to say goodbye to me."
"No!" Shen Dinghai said firmly: "No goodbye, I will continue to follow you! I can't let you continue to be targeted by those people, and I can't let the seal on your body be unlocked any more!"
"Cousin..." Shen Dinghai took a deep breath, "Don't feel burdened or guilty. Even though you may not have such emotions now, I still want to tell you."
"In my opinion, this change is not your fault." "You are just... sick." Shen Dinghai lowered his eyes and stared at Ran Ran. He wanted to find some certainty in Ran Ran's eyes.
There was a flash of emotion in Ranran's calm eyes for a moment.
She said coldly, "If it makes you feel better to think so."
After Ranran finished speaking, she walked out of the room and Shen Dinghai followed immediately.
"Where are you going, cousin?"
"Go do the unfinished business." Ran Ran looked back at Shen Dinghai as he walked away. "Nephew, do you know? Maybe I am becoming less and less of a human being in your eyes, and I have lost my humanity."
"But I didn't feel bad. On the contrary, I felt more comfortable and at ease."
“I feel like I am in control of myself now and can do things my way.”
Shen Dinghai said nothing, no comments, no questions, just nodded, "Okay."
"So what is it that we haven't finished yet?"
Ran Ran smiled when she heard this, "Nephew, do you still remember the puppy that Lao He raised?"
Shen Dinghai was a little stunned. "I have asked my elder brother for help. I believe that they will all have their own owners and homes soon."
Ran Ran tilted her head, "Before that, they have one more thing to do."
*
Shen Dinghai will probably never forget this scene.
A girl in a white dress was running in the setting sun, followed by a group of stray dogs.
The girl didn't laugh, and neither did the puppy.
But he seemed to see many free souls laughing.
The khaki color of the construction site seemed to have lost its dullness and regained vitality under the colorful sunset.
"Go!" Ran Ran shouted, and the stray dogs following her quickly dispersed as if they understood her instructions and ran at full speed in the construction site.
Shen Dinghai was somewhat stunned, "Cousin...what is this?"
Ran Ran's eyes regained their calmness, "I'm letting them find their owners."
"Master? Adopt..." Shen Dinghai stopped talking as he understood what Ranran meant.
The puppy went to look for He Qinggui, after all, Old He's body has not been found yet.
The brilliant sunset shone into Ranran's eyes, making her eyes look extremely beautiful.
There is a beginning and an end.
Shen Dinghai gradually understood what Ranran meant by being more at ease and calm.
He also became more certain of his idea that his cousin did not suddenly change, but became a different person.
If a person's life stages can be divided into segments, then each segment can be regarded as a separate slice.
A single person.
From this, Shen Dinghai's thoughts extended further.
Since my cousin was suppressed and turned back to her childhood state, then her original self...
Originally, she also had experiences and memories, and these formed her values and personality.
The reason why my cousin seems to have changed a lot is that she has actually returned to her original state, back to her original origin.
The one he is facing now is not his grown-up cousin, but his former cousin.
This is the reason why there is a huge gap between the two.
This former cousin has lost her previous memories and only has experiences that have been suppressed and reversed back to her childhood.
Her past personality and way of doing things, as well as her current experiences and knowledge, have made up the cousin in front of him.
