The other day when we were resting on the office chairs, he actually cried in his sleep. My god, I was so scared.
Luo Yingbai said: “Nothing would dare to mess with Xianning. Isn’t living good?”
Gou Songze said: “I don’t know. Maybe you can ask when you have time. He won’t tell anyone else… But maybe he doesn’t even know why himself. I wanted to explore his dream state, but my skills aren’t enough, and I’m afraid he’d kill me.”
As he spoke, Xia Xianning’s figure flashed by the door, and Gou Songze immediately shut up. Luo Yingbai said: “Okay, okay, got it. I’m leaving.”
Gou Songze said: “Wait, is Brother Xianning sending you back to school? I’m actually going the same way, just let me change clothes.”
Luo Yingbai pulled out fifty yuan and slapped it on him, laughing: “Taking a taxi is more convenient for you.”
After he finished speaking, he really didn’t wait for anyone, walking out. Gou Songze followed behind him, angrily shouting: “Here you go again, I just wanted a ride! You two are something else! Damn, I wish you…”
Xia Xianning turned back and glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Gou Songze awkwardly laughed: “…a safe journey…”
“Based on the transcript and head examination results, I suspect Ou Zihen was subjected to a flying head curse, but it’s not entirely similar. It should be a variant of this type of sorcery.”
When the two got in the car, it was almost dawn.
Xia Xianning briefly explained the case to Luo Mingbai.
The flying head curse he mentioned was a type of sorcery made using a creature called a flying head savage.
Luo Mingbai, well-read, recalled its origin when Xia Xianning mentioned it: the flying head savage first appeared in Gan Bao’s “Search for Spirits”, where legends describe a creature whose head could detach from the neck and fly freely, resembling a human, often female, also known as a dancing beautiful head. After capturing its head and making it into a curse, it could attach to another person, and after seven days, the host’s head would separate from the body and become a dried skeleton.
