Aoba Office

"Leave now? Are you in such a hurry?" Ye Zhengyi was still sitting with no intention of getting up, and his legs were well crossed.

"Where is the painting?" I asked Xu Tiancheng.

"It's at my house." Xu Tiancheng replied, "The house I rented is not here."

"Speaking of which, how do we call the police now? Go to the police station?" Ye Zhengyi said again.

Only then did I remember that there were many corpses in this room stuffed in the bedroom. Xu Tiancheng's mother and stepfather should also be among them.

"Let's talk about it later. Everyone is dead, so there's no need to worry." Xu Tiancheng replied calmly.

He got up first and walked out without having to prepare anything.

The two ghosts, Yao Nie and Ye Zheng, moved more easily and immediately floated up, following Xu Tiancheng outside.

When I went out, I realized that there was no difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures. I was cold all over, but I had never felt cold before.

The heating in the room was turned off at some point. I thought of those corpses and not only glanced at Xu Tiancheng who was walking in front.

Xu Tiancheng went downstairs naturally and reminded me that the last person to leave had to close the door.

When passing by the door of the house downstairs, I paid attention to their expressions and movements. They didn't even look at me. They didn't know whether they didn't believe what I said about living downstairs, or they didn't care at all.

There was no movement at home. My parents probably didn’t expect that I would come back upstairs after going out, nor did they expect that there were so many bodies hidden upstairs.

The thought of those bodies gave me a headache.

I can use my ability to remove all the corpses. Strange deaths can turn into mass disappearances. I don’t know if this counts as getting better or worse.

What makes me even more troublesome is Ye Qing's existence. I really don't know what crazy things he will do again. He is now an extreme idealist in my mind, with no reason or emotion at all. If necessary, he will kill the people around me after killing Aoba's people, I have no doubt about it.

The communication interruption caused by the Ghost King is also a big problem.

The Ghost King itself is a big problem.

If something happens to any one of Slender Man and the others, I may not be able to arrive in time.

My heart keeps holding on to it and I can't let it go.

Xu Tiancheng has a car parked in the community. The apartment he rented was not far away, just a twenty-minute drive away.

The apartment is a little older, but the facilities seem to have been renovated. The layout of the house is old, but it is clean.

As soon as the apartment door opened, what I saw was a brand new house, which seemed to have been specially designed by someone. From the entrance to the living room, everything gave people a pleasing feeling. good

Behind the sofa in the living room, there are three long scrolls hanging. Three classical beauties stand in the painting, with graceful figures and delicate faces. Of course, this kind of beautiful face is based on temperament. This is a Chinese painting, not an oil painting or sketch. There is really a big gap between the people in the painting and the real people. The facial features of the three people are somewhat similar, like sisters from the same mother, but this similarity is actually caused by the style of the person who painted the picture.

I glanced at Ye Zhengyi, but I really didn't have the ability to appreciate his beauty.

"Just these three?" I asked.

I'm not sure because I didn't feel any special atmosphere from the three paintings.

"Of course," Ye Zheng glanced at me, "No."

I was a little annoyed by his heavy breathing.

He made no secret of his disdain for me, "How could it be possible that my beauty pictures were only this good? Even if I was forced to change my drawings later, I still had a bottom line and self-esteem."

While he was talking about this, Xu Tiancheng had already entered the bedroom.

Yao Nie stayed in the living room and exposed Ye Zhengyi unceremoniously, "You also drew these."

"That's different. It's just perfunctory to Xiao Xu, and it doesn't give full play to my true strength. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Xiao Xu got are not good enough. That kind of defective product..." Before Ye Zhengyi could finish speaking, Xu Tiancheng had already walked back. .

He held a scroll in his hand and carefully unfolded it on the coffee table, revealing the beauty in the painting in full.

It was a woman whose posture was similar to that of the three paintings in the living room. She also had a graceful figure, a round waist, and a slender figure, like a willow branch in the wind.

The woman who looks weak, even sickly, has a pair of firm eyes. She is not the charming eyes and charming expression that I imagined. It is obviously a black and white painting, but it gives people a sense of gorgeous colors. However, under this intuitive impression, the people in the painting seem to be as clear as water, unstained by the dust of the world.

I no longer have the ability to appreciate, but I have to admire those eyes that are so beautiful. Beautiful and agile, as if the person in the painting will come alive at any time and look at himself with those eyes.

But this kind of admiration is still admiration for the painting and admiration for the painter's skill. It's not like he was seduced by women.

Ye Zhengyi sighed repeatedly, lamenting that his masterpiece was modified by himself.

"I had to bite the bullet and talk hard, so I kept these eyes. The others..." Ye Zhengyi caressed the person in the painting, and deliberately spread his palms to cover most of the face of the woman in the painting. , leaving only that pair of eyes.

He admired it for a while and was filled with emotion.

"Can you go?" I urged.

"Let's go, let's go. I have nothing to say to people like you who don't know how to appreciate it." Ye Zhengyi rolled up the picture himself and held it in his hand.

"Let's make an agreement first. Once this matter is settled, you have to help me find a way to protect Dou Xue." Yao Nie interjected.

"I know. If I can use magic, I can just draw an amulet to deal with those ghost kings." Ye Zheng said coaxingly.

"Can you draw amulets?" I thought Ye Zhengyi could draw pictures of beauties.

"I just draw a female guard." Ye Zhengyi immediately changed his tone, "My beauty will become a magic spirit, and the other beauties I draw will become the most powerful shikigami. Those ghost kings cannot be my opponents."

When he said that, I felt uneasy.

"In this case, you can draw an army and destroy those ghosts directly, right?" Yao Nie also had some doubts.

"Do you think I can spread the beans and make soldiers? Every painting is carefully drawn by me, which requires a lot of effort. How can I create so many beauties?" Ye Zhengyi said unceremoniously, teaching Yao Nie a lesson. "Even if I stay awake, it still takes two or three days to paint a painting. How long does it take to create an army? Also, do you think those ghost kings are fools? If they find something wrong, they will definitely come and deal with me directly. . Capture the thief first. When the time comes, I will be unable to defeat the four-handed man. No matter how many beauties I have, I will be overwhelmed by their attack."

We're back in the car. I sat in the passenger seat and gave Xu Tiancheng directions. , when I heard Ye Zhengyi say this, I glanced at Ye Zhengyi in the rearview mirror.

"Do you know what the Ghost King is?"

My question was a bit confusing, but Ye Zhengyi obviously understood it, and the momentum of his eloquent conversation immediately disappeared.

Ye Zheng looked at me and stopped talking.

"You can't become the Ghost King, can you?" I asked again.

Ye Zheng touched his scroll and said slowly: "This matter... is not important. I have said it before, you have to look forward. How to solve these is what you should consider."

As Ye Zhengyi finished speaking, I felt eyes sweeping over me. Ye Zheng looked at his nose and heart at a glance, as if he had fallen into trance and cut off all contact with the outside world.

I thought to myself that I had guessed it right, but I was at a loss again.

I thought the Ghost King was a combination of ghosts and spirits, but if this involves a taboo that cannot be said, what exactly is the taboo that connects Liu Che's era and the future world?

I can't imagine it.

Only two bells were heard ringing in the car.

My cell phone and Xu Tiancheng’s cell phone rang once. The short ringing tone proves that we have all received the message.

Xu Tiancheng was driving, and I checked my phone directly.

"It's a notification. Communication has been restored." As soon as I checked the message, I noticed that my vision had changed.

Written information becomes numbers and symbols, and other things follow suit.

I have seen this scene before.

When I possessed Nangong Yao, I had seen his abilities, which is what he looks like now.

Goodnight everybody.
