a ghost pretending to be human

Yan Ming stared sadly at the empty tables for a while, and finally got up and left the coffee shop.

He made a phone call while walking, and informed Ran Jingtian that he wanted to talk to Lu Yiyi.When he returned to the office building, Lu Yiyi was already eating melon seeds in the reception room, waiting for him.

The reception room has beige walls, a table in the middle, and two chairs facing each other.The whole room is decorated like a dining room, without any serious feeling.

Lu Yiyi, who is extremely bored and eating melon seeds, has no sense of disobedience here, and only hangs a TV on the wall.

"Don't eat." Yan Ming sat opposite Lu Yiyi, knocked on the table, and said directly, "Qi Man was sent to a ghost cave."

Lu Yiyi was still distracted, and when she heard Yan Ming's words, her hands trembled, and she almost smashed melon seeds between her teeth: "Master Man?! How could she be sent to the ghost cave? There is no her in the plot?"

"Maybe it's because of Li Zigui." Yan Ming shrugged.

"But there is really no Li Zigui in the plot?!" Lu Yiyi immediately stood up, with an unconcealable anxiety on her face, "Didn't I show you the complete episodes? Didn't you promise me not to harass him anymore? ...Ah, ah, you are all..."

She suddenly stopped, paused, and said weakly: "Can you let him go?"

Yan Ming was taken aback by Lu Yiyi's sudden madness.But his face is still calm and composed, and his tone is casual: "As long as you are good, I will never hurt Li Zigui....Speaking of which, do all of you girls like him?"

Lu Yiyi was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, she faked a cough, picked up another melon seed in a disguised manner, groped for the melon shell with her fingertips, and did not knock it down for a long time.

She pursed her lips, with a faint blush on her face, her eyes wandering.

Yan Ming: "..." Isn't it?

After a while, Lu Yiyi woke up from her distraction again.

She put down the melon seeds, and sat back disappointed: "It's impossible for me to be with him...it's not in the same world..."

Yan Ming felt that he simply couldn't understand the standard of girls' mate selection nowadays.He can understand that Li Zigui is popular with ordinary girls, but it doesn't mean that everyone is like this, right?Especially Qi Man and Lu Yiyi, they don't have much to do with the word "ordinary".

"Didn't ask you that...why?"

"Because I control my face." Lu Yiyi said it as a matter of course.

...that is an irrefutable reason.

But Yan Ming still narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Seeing Yan Ming's unconvincing look, Lu Yiyi sighed softly.

"Of course, it's different from liking you." She curled her lips, and then said with longing, "You, as long as you appreciate it from a distance. I want to read his words at home every day!"

Yan Ming imagined the scene of leaving Li Zigui at home to watch every day.

If he is stared at all the time, even Li Zigui will feel uncomfortable, right? ...Well, he should be cute if he's shy.

But this guy obviously doesn't have the temperament to stay at home.This imagining is pointless.

Yan Ming dismissed the images in his mind, raised his eyebrows at Lu Yiyi: "But he is so good at disguising, don't you feel very insecure?"

"Everyone has their own secrets, not to mention he is a ghost. The unknown does not necessarily cause uneasiness." Lu Yiyi shook her head disapprovingly, "On the contrary, he is actually the rare kind that makes people not feel scared at all. What about people. Thinking about it this way, it feels safe to stay by his side, right?"

After muttering a lot, Lu Yiyi felt that what she said was inappropriate again: "I didn't mean that he gave people the feeling of being weak... Oh, it's not normal to like a school girl. There are so many reasons for such a thing ... Forget it, forget it, you don’t understand anyway.”

Facing Lu Yiyi's perfunctory attitude, Yan Ming didn't bother to spend any more time deeply analyzing the subtle psychology of the young girl Huaichun.

He stared at Lu Yiyi for a while, finally shrugged, put the topic aside, and said instead: "I have already notified the technical department and asked them to prepare to open the passage to the ghost cave tomorrow."

Lu Yiyi reacted for a while, then said confusedly: "The positioning problem...is it solved?"

"Well," Yan Ming nodded, "It's probably resolved."

"...Okay. Then I'll make preparations." Lu Yiyi didn't ask any more questions tactfully, and then asked Yan Ming hopefully, "Then I can see Ye Dao?"

"Not yet." Yan Ming snuffed out Lu Yiyi's hope without hesitation, and softened his tone, "What's the hurry, when everything is over, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, I can't do it when the time comes. Stop it."

I don't know what Yan Ming's words stimulated, Lu Yiyi's mood obviously dropped.She had a bitter face, and didn't try to fight any more, only responded with "Oh".

After a moment of silence, she left her seat and said, "I'm going to prepare."

"Go." Yan Ming waved his hand.

Lu Yiyi left with Ran Jingtian who had been standing at the door.

Yan Ming took out the mobile phone in his pocket and turned it around on the smooth surface.

Besides Li Zigui, who else could do such a thing as locating the ghost cave passage?He believed that Li Zigui would agree to cooperate with him, whether it was to ensure Qi Man's safety or to seek out secrets.

Although I don't know how Li Zigui managed to come and go freely in the ghost cave, but seeing how relaxed he was when he brought Qi Man back, it wouldn't be too expensive to settle for a place, right?

Yan Ming picked up his phone and sent a message to Li Zigui:

Do you have time to reserve a spot for the Haunted Passage?

But Li Zigui, who Yan Ming placed great confidence in, was wandering at the door of the silent Xie Mansion at this moment.

His mind was full of the note on the desk he saw when he first came home.

There are five words on the note:

Take care of yourself. --temperature

The moment Li Zigui saw this note, he immediately went out to look for grandma.He drifted across the green belt beside the turbid river, the bustling vegetable market, and the sparsely populated second-hand book stalls, and searched every place where grandma might hang out, but found nothing.

In the process of searching, his heart sank little by little.

In the end, he came to Xie's house.

The Xie family was still the same as the last time he saw it.The mansion with bamboo and wood structure is simple and quiet.There was no sound in it, just a dead silence.

Li Zigui floated around Xie's house, but he didn't sense his grandma, and he felt another layer of anxiety.

It is impossible to directly break into this kind of family of imperial masters without startling the defense.It's okay to just thank Xie Lang for them, but if the ghost king is added, he might not be able to leave.If grandma isn't here, then stealing chickens won't make a difference. ...But what if she is there?

Grandma's spirit body has always been incomplete.The piece of soul she was missing was in the mansion of the Xie family.She had been waiting for this fragment for a long time, and it was understandable that she couldn't wait.

But with Li Zigui's ability, he couldn't enter Xie's house quietly. If grandma forced her in, there would have been a commotion here.

The only possibility...

Li Zigui sighed inwardly.

It seems that today I have to rely on the power of the soul orb.

He tore open the space and located the place where the spirits were most concentrated in the ghost cave.

The first thing that catches the eye is a barren land.There are still bones in the dark brown dust.A long crack split the earth in two, and the bottom of the crack was thick and black.

The young man in Tsing Yi sat firmly on the edge of the crack, his eyes downcast, playing the off-white flute in his hand.Behind him lay an unconscious young woman.The woman frowned deeply, even if she was unconscious, she couldn't let go of the concern in her heart.

The sound of the flute whizzed over the broken spirit bodies around, soothing the ghosts who had lost their sanity.

Li Zigui quietly looked at the woman on the ground.Due to temporary loss of consciousness, she couldn't maintain her disguise as an old woman, but she regained her true appearance, still as bright and beautiful as before her death, making people unable to look away for a long time.

Li Zigui hadn't seen this face for a long time, and now he felt a little strange.

He took a deep breath and looked at the young man who had put down his flute.

"Greetings to the ghost king."

His tone was calm, even a little sarcastic.

"Return the soul pearl to me." Xie Chunjiang said directly.

Li Zigui simply threw the white pearl in his hand over.

To Li Zigui's surprise, Xie Chunjiang didn't even look at the bead, and didn't even connect it.

The ball fell into the crack so lightly, without making a sound.

Li Zigui blinked in surprise.

This is a part of Xie Chunjiang's spiritual body, and he seemed to take it very seriously before... so why don't you want it now?

"This is Wen Shisi." Xie Chunjiang did not answer Li Zigui's doubts, but turned to look at Li Zigui.He tilted his head, and tapped the flute in his hand to the woman next to him: "Was Xie Lang's former lover?"

"Well, you can say that." Li Zigui didn't care about the soul orb anymore.It has nothing to do with him to spoil other people's things as others want.

"Are you her and Xie Lang's son?"

"Xie Lang is only 29 years old this year, how can he have a son my age?"

Hearing what Li Zigui said, Xie Chunjiang confirmed the guess in his heart: "Ghost, it's not possible to infer age from appearance."

Li Zigui didn't continue to deny it, but just said out of necessity: "It's up to you. Let's get down to business."

Xie Chunjiang wasn't too interested in Li Zigui's life experience, so he changed the subject: "Do you know where this is?"

Following Xie Chunjiang's gaze, Li Zigui looked at the deep crack.

The cracks vary in width, roughly two to five meters in size, extending crookedly into the distance.Down there was silence.

"I know." Li Zigui said, "The Abyss of Lost."

Xie Chunjiang was silent for a while.

"Abyss of Lost... Where did you hear the name?"

"I made it myself." Li Zigui replied, "Just now."

Xie Chunjiang: "..."

"What do you call it?" Li Zigui asked.

"I didn't name it." Xie Chunjiang replied with a cold face.

Li Zigui thought about it and thought it was right.The name is for the convenience of addressing. No one knows about this kind of place, let alone mentioning it. It is useless to name it.

"The bottom is the place where all the souls gather, full of evil thoughts, dissipating spirits and minds." Xie Chunjiang continued.

Li Zigui let out a "hmm", indicating that he was listening.

"She goes down, or you go down."

Li Zigui floated to the edge of the crack, looked at it with his head, and suddenly felt that he was being stared at by thousands of disgusting eyes.A tyrannical pulling force was pulling him hard.

He had been here years ago, and it hadn't seemed so scary back then.But he was also weak at that time, and was almost dragged down.

"How many people have you sent down?" he asked.

"Can not remember."

"Oh... has anyone come up here?"

"No."

"If I picked up your soul orb downstairs, shall I return it to you?" Li Zigui smiled.

Xie Chunjiang stared at Li Zigui for a while.

"If you can come up," his tone was still cold, "I will give you my soul orb."

"Understood." Li Zigui nodded and smiled again.

At the same time, Yan Ming's cell phone received a reply from Li Zigui:

No time.

Yan Ming: "..."
