Chapter 20
The night after class, just arrived home, Su Jiao told Lian Xi about the scene he saw on the road today.
Lian Xi was also a bit surprised: “He actually continued to buy breakfast?”
Su Jiao: “Damn, I knew you must know something! What the hell is going on, tell me quickly ah. The little guy at the door is not a ghost, you didn’t send him to reincarnate last night. How to appear again? Moreover, who is that middle-aged man?”
Lian Xi was silent: “He is not a ghost, and there is no ghost at the opposite door.”
Then, Lian Xi told Su Jiao the truth about the strange incident at the other door.
Room 903, Block 13, Hua Ting District, nineteen years ago, there were eight guys who came to work in Suzhou City. These eight people won the award for bravery and courage in the gas explosion in Suzhou City that year, but unfortunately, seven people were killed in the second explosion accident, and only one person survived.
That person was the young man who had helped Lian Xi, who is now the Chief Gao. Gao Jiaxun.
Nineteen years later, Gao Jiaxun, who has become the boss, has never forgotten the explosion that happened in that year. He bought the house across the street as a reminder, but at the same time he also suffered from survivor syndrome.
Su Jiao: “So, of the eight people across the street, seven of them have long since been reincarnated, and only Chief Gao is still alive. Then he was too obsessed and blamed himself too much, so he imagined the scene of eight people still living in a house?”
Lian Xi: “Well, those eight people are not ghosts. Mr Gao is still alive, and those seven people are just his obsession. Now that he’s out of his obsession, those eight ‘people’ naturally don’t exist anymore.”
“So that’s how it is.” Su Jiao lamented.
Faint footsteps sounded, Lian Xi turned his head to look, just in time to see the black-clothed Hei Wu Chang with his hands in his pockets, calmly walking out of the room.
Yes, none of the eight guys at the other door were ghosts, and none of them needed to be reincarnated.
That’s why last night, Lie Zong didn’t follow Lian Xi to the other door for dinner and let him go alone.
Because there was no performance!
Lie Chen: “It’s time to go out.”
Lian Xi was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard this, he froze, “What?”
The man raised one eyebrow, “Go out, work.”
Lian Xi didn’t respond, “What work?”
Lie Chen: “… Oh.”
Lian Xi: “….”
Why do you have a face like “No wonder you have been absent from work for so many years”?
Lian Xi said seriously, “I really didn’t skip work, it’s not me.”
Lie Chen: “Oh.” Not important.
Lian Xi: “….”
You, listen to my explanation ah!!!
Even though Lian Xi wanted to explain, this was something he really couldn’t wash away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
However, there is another very important thing…
Lian Xi was very calm: “I want to do a live broadcast.”
Lie Chen: “Huh?”
Lian Xi: “Live broadcast, my job.”
Ten minutes later, in Lian Xi’s room;
The cold and indifferent Black Impermanence hung his eyes and watched as Lian Xi sat down at the computer desk, opened the live broadcast software, opened the King of Glory game, and then ….
Start the live streaming,
There was no sound, no communication, just looking down and playing the game, occasionally looking up to see if new viewers had entered the live room or to see what they were chatting about.
[Anchor’s Ma Chao (Ma Chao (176-222), general of Shu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms awesome) is awesome. Anchor is the real Ma Chao. Mine is the king of rice-planting.]
[Anchor is a three-finger operation or two-finger operation?]
At the end of the game, looking at this pop-up screen, Lian Xi pursed his lips and opened his mouth, “Two-finger operation.”
[Wow, the anchor’s voice is still quite nice.]
[Love it love it, nice voice, not greasy! Anchor says a few more words ba.]
[Anchor sings a song! Your live room is so boring.]
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but ever since Lian Xi signed up with the Jewel Guild, he always managed to allocate exceptionally good recommendation spots. Lian Xi’s live performance was very poor, and he didn’t have much of a live effect, but he always had good recommendation spots, and there was no doubt that Xu Lang must be behind this.
He naturally saw the pop-up screen that asked Lian Xi to sing, but he directly ignored it and had no intention of replying.
However, a low and cold voice rang out abruptly from behind him, “Why did he ask you to sing?”
Lian Xi was abruptly stunned.
There was also a few seconds of silence in the live broadcast room.
The next moment.
[Ah ah ah this voice is also good!
[Who is this? Is it a friend of the anchor!? And the anchor voice is not the same but also a good voice]
[Can you say a few more words? I want to listen to the anchor and friends’ chat!
There were many rare pop-ups in the mute live room, but Lian Xi switched off the microphone, he turned back to the man behind him, “Do you understand what they’re saying?”
Lie Chen asked back, “Why do you think that I don’t understand?”
Lian Xi: “Eh, I mean you just came up from hell after all …. I thought you might be many years ago, that …”
Su Jiao passed by from outside the door and added for him in a low voice: “The one who died many years ago and went to hell, can’t read!”
In short: Contemporary illiteracy!
Lie Chen’s face did not fluctuate, he faintly swept a glance at his short roommate, who, with a cold chill at his back, hurriedly ran back to his room in a flash, closing and locking the door in one fell swoop.
Lie Chen: “It’s true that I don’t recognize these strange words.”
Lian Xi froze, “Then how do you know what they’re saying?”
Lie Chen: “If you want to communicate with people in this world, you don’t just need to use your eyes and words.”
Lian Xi: “…… Ah?” Then with what?
Lie Chen looked down at him, “With your entire or sincere heart.”
As the words fell, the man clasped his hands on his arms, turned around and left, leaving behind only a light sentence of “Absenteeism is prohibited”. A few seconds later, Lian Xi heard a clear slamming of the door.
The short roommate quietly opened the door: “Did the black ghost leave?”
Lian Xi glanced at him, “Black ghost or devil?”
Su Jiao: “It’s just him, Su City’s Hei Wu Chang. You haven’t said anything then you suddenly brought him into the house. What are you doing? It’s so scary! That is the ghost messenger eh, or crawling from hell, I think he may have been a ghost before, now got the official body, he has turned into a master! His strength should be quite strong, do you feel it?”
Lian Xi was silent for a moment, but still nodded.
There was no need to verify the power of this mysterious and unpredictable new
Hei Wu Chang of Su City, the other two people in the house had felt it.
Lian Xi had never seen a ghostbuster before, but he could feel that this Lord Black Impermanence was feared to be stronger than other ordinary ghostbusters, even much stronger!
Lian Xi thought, “Are all the ghostbusters in Su City stronger than those in other places?”
Su Jiao: “I don’t know, I’ve only seen the ghost officials from our Qufu city there. Our Hei Wu Chang is an old pine tree on Ni Mountain, and White Impermanence is an old blacksmith who died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-1945) in the last century. Both of them are quite good at talking to each other. The old blacksmith, he was wrongly accused by the ghosts of stealing the railway. The ghosts with a funnel to his mouth, filling him with water, filling his stomach round, and then taking a rolling pin to roll his belly. So over and over again, and then over and over again, rolling, so that in the end his eyes, nose, mouth, ears, everywhere running water. So every time he and martial uncle drink, drink a mouthful, from ears and nose, it will also flow a mouthful. I heard my martial uncle say that he can save up enough performance to go back to hell to reincarnate this year, and he will definitely be able to be cast into a rich and powerful one in his next life, and live a good life.”
Lian Xi: “You and your ghosts are quite familiar?”
Su Jiao: “That’s not true, my uncle is a famous practitioner in Qufu, people ask him to come to the door to do magic to subdue the demons, right?”
Lian Xi glanced at his proud roommate, thinking: what about you?
Without asking any more questions, Lian Xi said, “The two ghosts at your place, one is considered a… er, tree demon? One is considered an old ghost?”
Su Jiao: “That’s right.”
Then, which type of it, Lie Chen?
Lian Xi inexplicably felt that he didn’t look like a demon, nor did he look like a ghost. But even less like a human.
Yet if it wasn’t these, what else could it be?
……
The live broadcast is over, and Chief Lie hasn’t gone home yet.
Bai Wu Chang, who was forced to miss work for more than ten years, let out a long sigh and put on his coat.
Su Jiao stared wide-eyed, “You’re really going out to Bai Wu Chang?”
Lian Xi bent down to change his shoes, “Well.”
Su Jiao said breathlessly, “You’re really into it.”
Lian Xi didn’t say anything, he changed his shoes and opened the door.
At one in the morning, everything was silent, and the streets were empty, in stark contrast to the heavy traffic during the day.
As September approached, the evening breeze was still a bit cool. Lian Xi rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, he thought about it, found a random direction, and began to wander aimlessly, taking his chances to see if he could run into any ghosts that hadn’t been reincarnated.
In one night, he really found two for Lian Xi.
One was killed in a car accident and was stranded at the scene of the incident. This young guy had no obsession or unfulfilled wishes, but simply squatted on the ground and drew circles, turning into a stupid ghost that had lost its mind.
It was the easiest way to deal with this kind of ghost, and there was no need to help him fulfil his last wish. Lian Xi directly took out the Wu Chang Certificate that Lie Chen had slipped to him, he recalled the other party’s appearance of using a magic weapon, snapped open Wu Chang Certificate, his gaze flared, and he began to recite, “There’s a way to the heaven and earth , and there’s no door to hell——”
“Collect!”
Three seconds later,
Lian Xi: “….”
The male ghost who was stupidly squatting on the ground and drawing circles, “Hehe.”
With a calm expression, Lian Xi put away Wu Chang Certificate, raised his left hand and rattled the bell.
In the dark night, a deep and ancient bell sounded.
Buzz!
“Aiyou!” The silly ghost shrieked and turned into a white light, dissipating into the air.
Lian Xi opened his Wu Chang Certificate.
‘Chen Jiu, 1994-2020, died in an accident’
The first ghost was collected without any suspense, but the second ghost was a bit more difficult.
This second ghost had a little bit of consciousness, and he still had a last wish, his last wish was …
Eat KFC.
“Brother, brother, brother, I want to eat Mexican chicken tacos!”
Lian Xi squatted down and looked at the little boy with a bloody hole in his head in front of him, and tried to slow down his voice: “The Mexican Chicken Tacos are gone, they’ve long since been taken off the shelves and aren’t for sale.”
The little boy brushed the ground and began to roll, “I want to eat Mexican chicken tacos! Chicken tacos, chicken tacos!”
Lian Xi: “….”
Buzz!
Toggling the bell, the little boy ghost let out an “ouch” and turned into a white light, dissipating into the air.
Lian Xi opened the Wu Chang certificate.
“Zhou Zixuan, 2011-2020, died after being knocked on a rock.”
Lian Xi: “……”
If you don’t help the ghost to fulfil his last wish, you won’t be affected by the golden light or red light.
Today is a day to do your work cautiously and well.
Su City Bai Wu Chang packed up his things and was ready to go home.
Just as Lian Xi took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Didi transportation company, suddenly, he paused in his movements and raised his head to look at the man across the road.
The two men’s gazes met in the air.
The man stepped forward, “Skip work?”
Lian Xi: “….”
The youth justifiably pulled out his own Wu Chang Card and flipped it open!
Lie Chen smiled, “Oh, two.” After that, he pulls out his own Wu Chang card and flips it open.
Lian Xi: “….?!”
Where did you get five!
Who said many wandering ghosts (people who have no family or friends to rely on) in Su City?
In the cool night breeze, the two stood side by side. The soft hair in front of their foreheads moved with the wind, blocking their vision. Lian Xi reached out and lifted his hair out of the way!
His gaze was slightly slanted, and in his afterglow, he caught a glimpse of the man beside him with one hand in his pocket, the other holding Hei Wu Chang certificate, and looking at it with his eyes downcast.
Between the bright and sparkling golden light, the slightly pursed lips and the high nose bridge connected into a beautiful curve.
Somehow, Lian Xi froze for a while until his mobile phone suddenly rang.
“Well yes, here in Times Square, the positioning is accurate, you can see it if you drive over directly…..”
Lian Xi took his mobile phone and communicated with the driver master.
He did not notice that after he moved his eyes away, the man beside him also slightly sidestepped his head, quietly sizing him up.
Lian Xi hung up the phone, and Lie Chen also withdrew his eyes.
While waiting for the car, Lian Xi remembered something, “By the way, there’s something strange. Earlier I saw you say a mantra when you used the Black Impermanent Warrant, the golden booklet. I tried to use that mantra today to use the Impermanence Certificate but it didn’t work. The incantation for the Impermanent Warrant is different from the one for the ‘magic weapon’?”
Lie Chen raised an eyebrow, “That mantra? Which one do you mean?”
Lian Xi: “It’s that one, there is a way to heaven and earth and no way to hell.”
At these words, the handsome man hooked up his lips as if nothing had happened, he let out a soft “Oh”, his deep eyes fluctuating slightly, “I just made it up.”
Lian Xi: “….”
The author has something to say:
Chief Lie (Lie Zong): No way, no way, no one would really believe the spell I just made up, right?
CC: …… I’ll kill you, this won’t be odd!!!
Fu Wa: [slyly] Do you guys feel my resentment of wanting a Mexican chicken taco …
