Chapter 13
In the silent and cool night wind, the old woman ghost’s hunched and bent figure gradually blurred.
Finally, it dissipated into the boundless night.
At the moment the old woman ghost disappeared, a few points of scattered golden light floated into Lian Xi’s hand, he looked down at his hand and gently gripped it. The golden light danced around his fingertips and eventually merged into his body and disappeared.
No one saw the golden light that melted into Lian Xi’s body.
The old woman ghost reincarnated and went to the next life, and the local Lord Black Impermanence [Hei Wu Chang] coldly lowered his eyes and flipped open his Impermanence Certificate.
Only one name slowly emerged.
『Zhao Yuying, 1928-1980, died of illness』The old woman ghost reincarnated and Lian Xi reaped the golden light, and all were happy!
…. That’s enough, isn’t it?
The short roommate swallowed his saliva, and while eyeballing a certain Lord Black Impermanence, he carefully moved in small steps to walk to Lian Xi’s side. When he stood behind Lian Xi, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and look at the man across the road with a pleasing face, “That, that Lord Black Impermanence, since this ghost has already been reincarnated, then we’ll leave first!”
As soon as the words fell, he pulled Lian Xi up and ran.
Then …. pulled
Didn’t pull.
So I pull again!
……
Su Jiao: “….”
Su Jiao twisted his head and cried: Lian Xi! Run!
Lian Xi looked at him, gently shook his head and broke away from his hand. He looked up at the person across the road, took a deep breath, and walked over.
In the cool and pleasant night breeze, the man dressed in black was looking down with one hand in his pocket and his other hand holding the Irregularity Certificate. In his afterglow, he caught a glimpse of a shadow walking towards him, and he turned his head to look at Lian Xi before gently raising an eyebrow.
And at that moment, Lian Xi finally got a good look at the man.
The golden mass of light that tightly surrounded him had, at this moment, completely transformed into dots of starlight that no longer hid his appearance, but instead flew around him like a crystalline and gorgeous golden firefly. His short hair was pitch black and moved with the wind, his stern and handsome eyebrows went straight into his temples, but there was a tiny black mole that cut across his right eyebrow. This man has a condescending face, his eyes are deep and colorless, like a god who indifferently gazes at all living beings, and he is majestic.
Not easy to get close to it.
Lian Xi approached step by step, and finally, he stopped in front of this man.
Endless golden light danced around in the air, occasionally bumping into Lian Xi and sliding away along the way.
In the darkness of the night, the youth stretched out his hand, his voice soft and calm: “How do you call me? My name is Lian Xi.”
……
Su Jiao: # Help me, my roommate has become crazy so what to do!? #This is crazy! It’s hopeless!
Lian Xi actually knows who this guy is!
Su City’s Black Impermanence [Hei Wu Chang], one of the two dead rabbits! He’s an old miscreant! He kills a Xuanxiu practitioner and won’t even let him take a side trip!
Su Jiao almost intended to turn his head and run, but as an excellent contemporary era good youth, he thought about his ‘still warm Apple phone’,he just got, clenched one teeth, one stomp —— the big deal is to wait for you for another ten seconds!
Just ten seconds, I will run if more than that!
However, what made Su Jiao never expected it, Lian Xi finished this sentence, the black impermanence actually did not move to kill.
Only to see this black impermanence lowered his eyes, seriously, carefully, up and down … surveyed Lian Xi.
Looking at this picture, Su Jiao froze, always feeling that there is something strange.
From his angle, he could just see Lian Xi’s side face.
From the first day he moved into his new home Su Jiao knew that this roommate of his was good looking, only a little bit worse than him.
His eyebrows are elegant, handsome and light hearted, his eyes are slightly upturned and hooked, but his eyes are clear, and his lips are light and thin. In ancient times, it was a kind of standing on either end of a bridge to see the scenery; a young master who did not know the world’s affairs, if modern, at least it’s a school grass (the most handsome guy in school) level.
But ….Why do I always feel there is something wrong?
Across a road, Su Jiao watched Lian Xi and this Su City local crazy Hei Wu Chang stare at each other.
Well, they are staring at each other.
They were staring at each other for several seconds.
Still staring at each other.
Still …
f*cking?
Staring at each other?
Su Jiao eyes glared: No way, no way ba, this dead rabbit black impermanence don’t tell me he likes Lian Xi, right?
In Su Jiao heart nature and humanity struggle, is for this short plastic friendship to risk one life to drag Lian Xi away, or “roommates are originally the same bird in the same room, facing imminent calamity, they fly their own way, Lian Xi, bye bye, in the next life, find a good family then reincarnation,” to avoid a problem by walking away from it, suddenly, this black impermanence finally moved.
The man looked at Lian Xi’s outstretched hand, he didn’t reach out, but hooked up his lips and said two words——
“Lie Chen”
Minister Lie?
Lian Xi asked, “List of lists?”
The man laughed and did not reply to him.
Lian Xi was not chagrined, his gaze was calm, quietly looking at the man in front of him. After a few seconds, in Su Jiao’s face, “You guys are still chatting,” he asked the most unusual question in the most unusual tone of voice, “So… you’re really the local Black Impermanence of City Su? “
The man’s eyebrows gently twitched but he did not say anything.
After a while, Lian Xi smiled, his tone was certain, “It seems that you are indeed the local Black Impermanence of Su City, then…” He raised his head, his clear eyes looking at the other party calmly, smiling before he asked, “May I ask, where did the previous Black Impermanence go?”
The youth’s bright and clear eyes flashed with a confident and firm light, without a trace of fear, without a trace of retreat, like the bright moon burning brightly.
Looking at this person in front of him, somehow, his lips opened and closed, but did not open his mouth.
A moment later, he smiled, “I tell you, you also answer me a question.”
“What question?”
“How do you know that I’m not the original Black Impermanence of Su City?”
***
Su City is China’s famous Jiangnan water town, known as the “Venice of the East”. Here, the water network is vertical and horizontal, everywhere can be seen in large and small waters and lakes.
Rumor has it that the road in Suzhou never follows the north-south direction, but is built according to the water. Su City, every roadside can see a water system, winding, which also creates Su City, beautiful gem change, vertical and horizontal intersection of the road trend.
Three days ago, at three o’clock in the morning, beside Yishan Lake.
This lake is one of the oldest lakes in Su City, and in ancient times, it was formed by the impact plains and tidal inversion. In the 1940s, the pseudo-government once surrounded the lake to build dykes to) reclaim land from a lake; reclaim lake bottom land and plant it, want to exploit manpower, who knows a heavy rain will have just surrounded the fields brushed and washed away, the good land to return to the lake, Yishan Lake return to the beginning, into today’s appearance.
And at this moment, here is the Yin energy winding, a piece of invisible strong black gas that couldn’t be seen by ordinary people, kept pressuring on the earth.
The local Black Impermanence of Su City, who wore a Ghost Dispatcher’s hat and held an Uncommon Certificate, spat out blood, was seriously injured, and collapsed beside the lake.
He had just killed an evil ghost.
This evil ghost drowned at the bottom of Yishan Lake three years ago, and in the past three years, it has been peaceful. Until last year, a developer reclaimed the land, digging the foundation, accidentally pouring lake water, the evil ghost was awakened, in the construction site, crazy killing, just half a year, three workers died.
If it is usual to run into this kind of evil ghost that has only died for three years and eaten three people, the local Black Impermanence in Suzhou City is definitely not a problem. However, last year he had fought with a hundred year old evil ghost and had already been seriously injured. Now that he was able to subdue this evil ghost, snow plus frost—one disaster after another, he was even worse off, and was on the verge of reincarnation!
While panting, Black Impermanence opened his Impermanent Certificate: he had to call the hell! He had to ask the hell to send a new Black Impermanence over immediately!
However, this Black Impermanence had just flipped open his death list Card before he could call out, when suddenly, he raised his head, only to see a black figure from the depths of the earth, step by step, crawling up!
“…..???”
Fuck?
When did the top do things so efficiently?
He submitted his retirement application last year, and it was done this year?
Normally one wouldn’t have to wait two or three years and squeeze them for another two or three years?
Covering his wounds and standing up with difficulty, this Black Impermanence walked up to that black figure.
Those who had just come out of hell were too heavy with Energy Yin and with the deep darkness of the night, he didn’t see the other party’s face for a while. He nodded and patted the other party’s shoulder, “Brother, arriving early can’t beat coming at the right time, it’s time to change shifts already!”
……
Su Jiao: “???? Crap! So you’re actually the new Black Impermanence of Su City?”
Lian Xi: “When did you come over?”
Su Jiao: “When you guys just started telling stories.”
Lian Xi nodded, “It turns out that the Black and White Impermanent can still change shifts. So if the Black and White Irregulars are dying, they can reincarnate? No, then whether the Black and White Impermanent is a human or a ghost, I thought they were all ghosts.”
“It’s possible to be a human or a ghost.”
The man’s low, steady voice rang out, and Lian Xi looked up at him.
Lie Chen’s tone was indifferent: “People and supernatural beings (such as a demon, monster, ghost, spirit, gremlin etc) are all impermanent. Variable is variable (Wu Chang), the human world is impermanent.”
This voice seemed ethereal and dreamy, with its own sense that was different from human’s overlooked thought.
Lian Xi froze slightly.
A moment later, Lian Xi: “So, in fact, my lord, you are the newly-arrived Black Impermanence of Su City, and you’ve only been there for three days?”
Su Jiao gave Lian Xi a strange look: My Excellency?
Lie Chen nodded his head gently.
Lian Xi smiled. He looked at the man in front of him who had an indifferent face, out of place in the earthly world, even the clothes he wore were strange and odd, and he didn’t even have a cell phone on him except for his Changeless Card, and asked in a sincere tone of voice and goodwill, “So do you have a place to stay now?”
Su Jiao: “???”
Lie Chen raises his eyebrows at him, a smile under his eyes, “No.”
Lian Xi: “In that case, in fact, my lord, my house is quite large, and there are also two rooms currently empty, and the rent is not expensive. If you are willing, I can rent another room with the landlord…”
Su Jiao pulled him back, “Fuck! Wait, Lian Xi, what’s wrong with you? Tonight… “
As if being stepped on the tail, Lian Xi opened his eyes wide and righteously said, “Golden light? What golden light? Don’t talk nonsense! The Lord Black Impermanence is here for the first time, we as local residents of Su City, shouldn’t we treat them well? What golden light, shut up!”
Su Jiao was aggrieved, “I didn’t say golden light! What golden light?”
“You really want to help me?”
With a beat in his movements, Lian Xi turned his head to look at the man.
With four eyes facing each other, looking at the man’s dark and deep eyes, Lian Xi’s gaze slowly moved away from the golden light that danced madly in the air, and his heart quieted down. For some reason, he gave an answer, “Yes.”
Lie Chen smiled, “Good, thank you.”
As the words fell, a few points of golden light abruptly floated away from his body, jumped and ran to Lian Xi’s body, and then, melted in!
Lian Xi: ？!！!
So instant? (Set up a pole and you see its shadow—produce instant results)
Lie Chen: “But I’m going to live there with one condition.”
Su Jiao stared straight, for a moment actually forgot to fear and awe: “{Scratch} Please live for free yet you still have conditions?!”
Just to see the man’s fingers slightly move, a thin and simple small book abruptly appeared in his palm. Common and simple white cover, without any characteristic palm-sized small book, the only difference was that it also had three typed words printed on the cover – 无常证!
Wait,wait, the Certificate that this man took out before was a black cover, and now this one is… white cover?
Lian Xi suddenly realized something, before he could say anything, when he raised his eyes, he only saw that this man’s those slightly narrowed cold eyes.
“That Black Impermanence said that the White Impermanence of this place has been dead for more than ten years, and has long since reported to hell for reincarnation. The new Impermanence should have arrived a long time ago, but he hasn’t been able to find the other party, so White Impermanence has been absent from work for more than ten years and he’s been doing all the work in Su City all these years by himself.”
Lian Xi: “Eh … so?”
Lian Xi: “…..????”
F*ck?
Are all of Wu Chang so random (willfull or do as one please)?!!!!
You want me to help you find that White Impermanence?
Lie Chen snapped his fingers and threw out that White Impermanence Certificate, which Lian Xi subconsciously caught.
Lie Chen：”Is it that you’ve been skip from work for more than ten years?”
Author’s Note:
Su City Black Impermanence: you’re the new Black Impermanence who came to change shifts, right?
Mr. Lie who just ran out: ? Oh, I’m Black Impermanence I’m Black Impermanence I’m Black Impermanence [self-hypnosis]
CC: ? Then how come I’m White Impermanence, Ah me! Ten years ago I was only a few years old!!!!
Su Jiao: Lian Xi, he’s changed! He’s changed! [with a sad face] Why is he suddenly so lackey or henchman!
