a ghost pretending to be human

In fact, the West Music Club has been preparing for the art performance for two months, and what needs to be practiced now is the joint performance with the Folk Music Club of School A.The pressure is not light, but not too difficult.

The performance rehearsals are in full swing these days, and Li Zigui spends all day in the activity room of the Western Music Club helping out.Just as he was helping the girl who played the guitar to adjust her fingering, a WeChat message was suddenly received on her mobile phone.

Fan Liantian: Are you really not going to the final?The teacher is looking for you.

Fan Liantian is also a pet dog.

Li Zigui replied immediately.

Li Zigui: No.knew.

After replying, Li Zigui stared at the phone, feeling embarrassed.

...he...forgot...he hasn't thought of...excuses for not going to the game...

The last final was held in their city, so he just went there to win the first prize.He put himself at the bottom of the first prize, so he was not selected by the country to participate in the world competition.

But the venue for the finals this time is not in their city.The scope of his ghost's activities is geographically limited, and he can't go that far.

Li Zigui's heart sank.He thought about it and quickly came up with a solution. ...It's just right, let's make a mistake.

The door of the activity room was quickly knocked open, Teacher Liu locked the half-closed door, and quickly locked his eyes on Li Zigui.He stared at Li Zigui closely, and said seriously, "Excuse me, I'm looking for Li Zigui."

Li Zigui: "...You guys practice first, I'll come later."

He walked out of the activity room, closed the door by the way, and said calmly to the teacher, "Hello, teacher."

The sound insulation of the activity room is not very good. Even though Li Zigui closed the door, he could still hear the music inside.

Teacher Liu frowned slightly: "Aren't you going to the finals?"

"Ah."

"why?"

Li Zigui lowered his eyes and did not answer directly: "I'm sorry."

"Do you know how many people are rushing for this spot?"

"sorry."

"Li Zigui!" Teacher Liu couldn't help raising his voice.

The sound of the piano ensemble in the activity room stopped suddenly, as if it was surprised by Teacher Liu.

Teacher Liu lowered his voice: "Give me a reason anyway. I know your level. You can win glory for the school, the country, and yourself. You have prepared for so many years and studied so many questions. Why give up?"

Because I'm already dead.

Li Zigui smiled: "I just don't think it's necessary, anyway, I'm sure I'll be admitted..."

"What's your reason? This is irresponsible to yourself!" Teacher Liu said angrily.

"I..." Li Zigui paused, "Yes."

The silent music sounded again one after another, and the cheerful melody covered up the conversation outside the door.

"What do you mean?" Teacher Liu looked at Li Zigui sadly, "I want to talk to you...to your grandma."

"She won't interfere with my decision." Li Zigui looked up at Teacher Liu, "Anyway, I don't want to go."

"You..." Teacher Liu blushed and didn't think of what to say, so he turned around and left angrily.

Li Zigui stood silently until Teacher Liu disappeared around the corner, then opened the door of the activity room, walked in, and closed the door gently.

Most people stopped playing unconsciously, only a few people continued to practice.

The music suddenly became weaker, wandering lightly in the activity room without human voices.

Li Zigui leaned against the door, closed his eyes and listened quietly.

Pei Yasi hesitated for a moment: "Let's finish practicing here today. Everyone, take a good rest. The rehearsal will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the official performance will be on Friday. Come on everyone."

Everyone responded spiritedly, sorted out their things and dispersed.

Li Zigui then also left the activity room, wandering around absent-mindedly.When he came back to his senses, he had already come to a bamboo forest.

This bamboo forest is at the corner of the school, and there are gravel roads inside. Although it is remote, people often like to come for a walk.Now that the daylight is almost gone, the lights in the school are turned on, and the place has returned to darkness and silence.

Li Zigui took off a bamboo leaf, grabbed both ends of the bamboo leaf with both hands, and blew intermittently.

In fact, this is just an illusion.

The real Li Zigui floated quietly in the air, quietly watching his phantom play an out-of-tune tune.

"If everyone is like you, this bamboo forest will be bald." Yan Ming whistled and walked over from a distance.

Li Zigui glanced at Yan Ming, loosened his hands, and the bamboo leaves slowly fell to the ground.

"You are very disruptive." He sighed.

"Oh?" Yan Ming raised his eyebrows and stopped, "Do you want me to analyze your emotions leaked from the music?"

"No need, you can imagine it yourself. Do you have anything to do with me?"

"You haven't eaten dinner yet." Yan Ming raised the bag in his hand, "I brought you a cup of milk tea by the way. Let's go, I'll treat you, and I'll take you to eat delicious food. After eating, let's have a good chat about Chen Xiangqing I promise, I won't hurt her, okay?"

Li Zigui looked at Yan Ming suspiciously, took the bag, inserted a straw and took a sip of milk tea, his face became weird in an instant: "...are you going to fuck me?"

"Sweet, bitter, spicy, life is full of flavors." Yan Ming shrugged, "I think it's quite delicious. Its taste has a kind of depth of life."

Li Zigui: "...you drink it if you like it. Anyway, I don't drink it."

"Why don't you know how to enjoy art?" Yan Ming sighed decently, took the milk tea without any ambiguity, and drank it.

Half a cup of milk tea was gone immediately.

Li Zigui: "...you can really drink it."

"Of course. This is my proudest work." Yan Ming smiled proudly, "I've been tuning for a long time."

"You are like this, so I don't have any expectations for the dinner you invited."

"Don't worry, I won't cook by myself. I'll take you to a popular restaurant." Yan Ming hooked his hands, "Will you come?"

Li Zigui thought for a while: "Come."

The two left the school and wandered the streets.

The street lights are bright, pedestrians are in a hurry, and there is a lot of traffic.Neon lights are shining in the dark night.

It rained before school in the afternoon, and there is still water on the asphalt road, reflecting the colorful light, reflecting a gorgeous and colorful world.

"How did Chen Xiangqing find you?" Yan Ming asked casually.

"You're not going to run away after asking, are you?" Li Zigui asked vigilantly.

"...No, since I promised to treat guests, I will naturally invite them. I'll just ask casually."

Li Zigui was silent for a while, and replied: "I woke up suddenly when I was sleeping at night. She was standing by the window with blood all over her face trying to scare me, and then she suddenly became normal. She apologized to me and asked for my help, saying that she was afraid that you would put her She got wiped out and wants to catch the vampire for you."

"She scares you with blood all over her face? Can you also fall in love at first sight?"

Li Zigui pulled out a smile: "I like this kind of heartbeat."

"...And then you gave her an idea?"

"Ah."

"Friday night, you left Ye Dao's birthday party early."

"Grandma will worry if you come back too late."

"You care so much about grandma..." Yan Ming said slowly, "If you are in danger, what will grandma do?"

Li Zigui: "..." He sensed Yan Ming's intentions.

"You only have grandma, and grandma only has you." Yan Ming slowed down, "Have you ever been frightened, has your grandma ever been frightened? Under such circumstances, you still bravely participate in dangerous things Ghosts come and go in and out of your house. If next time, she accidentally enters a berserk state, even if she restrains herself halfway, can your grandma be saved?"

Li Zigui stopped.He looked at Yan Ming silently.

"You haven't considered this possibility, have you?" Just at the intersection, facing a red light, Yan Ming also stopped, turned around and faced Li Zigui.

"What do you want to say?"

"Your behavior is too unsuitable for an ordinary student." Yan Ming smiled brightly under the light, "What are the identities of your parents? Are they really dead? Are you also a master?"

Li Zigui remained silent.

Master is the official name for those special human beings.They have the ability to make certain things exert influence on the outside world.There are different titles depending on what the envoys are, such as the sword master and the talisman master, but they are not called that in daily life. Generally, they are called swordsmen and Taoists.

"Since you don't want to reveal it, I have no choice but to find a way to force out your ability." Yan Ming turned sideways, allowing Li Zigui to clearly see——

A boy was wandering unconsciously in the middle of the road.Behind him, a bus that was about to cross the intersection with the green light in the last few seconds slammed on the brakes urgently, but it couldn't stop the momentum of rushing towards the boy.

The panic scream of the lady who saw this scene was still in her throat and had not yet come out.

A close call.

Li Zigui knew that this was an accident deliberately arranged by Yan Ming, and Yan Ming was almost sure to have made certain safety preparations.

But what if?What if he firmly believed that Li Zigui would save people and did not take safety precautions?What if his preparations fail?There are so many eventualities in this world, but only one life.

What Yan Ming tested was not Li Zigui's reaction speed, nor his judgment after careful consideration, but his subconscious mind, his conscience.

But Yan Ming made a mistake in his consideration.

Li Zigui is not a master, but a ghost.A ghost that cannot materialize.He discreetly blends among the crowd through illusion, but cannot touch the real world.

He couldn't save the boy.

Li Zigui had no choice.He could only stand motionless, watching the blood splattered on the ground, and listening to the piercing screams tearing through the busy streets.

"You arranged this?" He asked Yan Ming.

Yan Ming nodded and stared at Li Zigui: "You are more indifferent than I imagined..."

Li Zigui took a deep breath: "My parents are dead. I'm not a master. Also, I hate car accidents."

Yan Ming was noncommittal.

Li Zigui's gaze slowly moved to Yan Ming's face, and he met his gaze: "Yan Ming."

There was light in Li Zigui's dark brown pupils.

"...Huh?" Yan Ming was taken aback.

"Maybe it's your job... or a hobby. But I can't stand being around someone who makes fun of his life." Li Zigui paused, "I hope you don't show up again."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wait," Yan Ming said immediately, "That boy is a master, he is just playing for fun, nothing will happen."

Li Zigui paused and continued walking.

"...Are you angry? Are you sad? I'm sorry, I just wanted to test it out." Yan Ming chased and said, "Are you really angry? Really? Really?...Your acting skills are so good, I can tell not out."

Li Zigui didn't look back, and didn't seem to want to stay in the slightest.

Yan Ming then stopped his pursuit and just silently watched Li Zigui's receding figure.

Angry... not at all.

Li Zigui thought as he walked.

He had already accepted his own powerlessness as a ghost, otherwise he would have gone berserk.

It's sad... probably a little bit.

But ghosts are supposed to be eliminated.What cares about the sadness of a ghost?

He still has business to do, but he can't let his emotions cloud his judgment.However, this time, Yan Ming was shocked by the way, very good, very good.
