a ghost pretending to be human

Chen Xiangqing only cried for a while and then stopped.In the soul state, she couldn't shed tears, but her eyes were red and red.

Everyone watched in silence as Chen Xiangqing choked up.

Li Zigui never thought that Xie Lang could use this kind of threat.

If Xie Lang's previous actions can be summed up as "crazy", then his actions now reveal shocking cruelty.

"...I can find Wen Shisi." Li Zigui finally said.

"Will she meet him?" Wang Suren's eyes were full of suspicion.

"No." Li Zi avoided Wang Suren's gaze.

"How could she... Isn't it just a meeting?!" Wang Suren was a little impatient.

"It goes against her beliefs and she won't do it."

"What letter..."

"Don't worry." Li Zigui sighed, "I was also at fault for this matter, and I will solve it."

"How do you solve it?" Yan Ming was quite interested.

"It's not important." Li Zigui said, "I will ensure that Chen Xiangqing is alive and Wen Shisi and Xie Lang disappear. Can you accept this result?"

"Alive...?" Chen Xiangqing was stunned.

"Yeah." Li Zigui looked at Chen Xiangqing, "You are still alive, you are a departed soul, not a ghost, you just left your body temporarily, so your appearance will change with the change of your body."

"!" Chen Xiangqing was speechless for a moment.

"Also, the ghost's actions will not be restricted by the range. Only the soul can't leave the body too far." Yan Ming glanced at Li Zigui.

Li Zigui was very guilty, but he tried his best to ignore Yan Ming's gaze.

"If my body dies...?" Chen Xiangqing asked.

"Then you will become a ghost, or disappear." Yan Ming replied.

Chen Xiangqing showed the expected bitterness.

"Leave this matter to me?" Li Zigui motioned Yan Ming to give him an answer.

"No." Yan Ming said.

Wang Suren asked anxiously: "Why..."

Yan Ming interrupted her softly: "Take Chen Xiangqing out to calm down first, and let me know if you have any new news."

Then, he looked at Chen Xiangqing again: "Rest quietly, and your body will be safe."

Chen Xiangqing paused.

Yan Ming was reminding her not to accidentally disclose the plot-related matters to Wang Suren.

She nodded with red eyes.

After Wang Suren and Chen Xiangqing left the tent, Li Zigui asked Yan Ming: "The plot?"

"Yeah." Yan Ming nodded, "Xie Lang is a very important character in the plot...Wen Shisi should be too."

"... Then you can roughly describe the plot about them? I try to follow the plot when I solve it?"

"No need," Yan Ming said, "I'll show you the complete original plot."

"..." Li Zigui said in astonishment, "Huh?"

"I have the original cartoons and animations given to me by Lu Yiyi in my computer," Yan Ming said.

"...Is your computer safe? It won't be hacked by some hacker on a whim, right?"

"At least it's safer than your phone." Yan Ming lowered his head and started typing on his phone again.

Li Zigui: "..." That's because I'm not interested in learning information security, you have the ability to compare me to physics problems.

Just after Yan Ming sent a message to Ran Bingtian, the phone screen suddenly went black.

"?" He was stunned for a moment, "Out of battery? Where's my charger?"

In the blink of an eye, the screen turned white again, revealing an expressionless face.

"!" Yan Ming immediately covered the camera and sound hole.

Xie Nian sat upright on the screen, the malicious smile flashed away, and then returned to the cold calm.

"Hello," he said in a flat tone, "I'm in charge of being the communication person between Xie Lang and Zi Gui."

"'Zigui'?" Yan Ming looked at Li Zigui.

Li Zigui: "...I don't know him well?"

"I'll inform Zigui." Xie Nian said, "Come and see me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone screen went black.

"..." Yan Ming restarted the machine.

The phone has returned to normal.

"Excuse me," Li Zigui's tone was very subtle, "Is your computer also 'safe' to this extent?"

Yan Ming: "...I refuse to compare with the black technology of another world."

"I have a suggestion," Li Zigui said tactfully, "Let's also seek help from another world's black technology. For example, find Lu Yiyi or something..."

"Don't change the subject." Yan Ming said, "What happened to Xie Nian? How did you meet him? When and where?"

"You're just changing the subject." Li Zigui looked suspicious.

Yan Ming: "..."

A moment of silence.

"Well, it's mine." Yan Ming said, "So what's going on with Xie Nian?"

...Why did you admit it so frankly? !

"It's okay." Li Zigui said, "I can handle it."

"Do you know that these two sentences of yours are contradictory?"

"...All right." Li Zigui sighed, "Who knows what he wants to do, I'll go to Xie's house tomorrow to have a look."

"Which house?"

The Xie family villa where Xie Lang and Xie Nian usually lived was near the city center, while the Xie family mansion in the suburbs was where the tragedy happened that year.

"...Good question. Let's take a look."

"I'll go together when the time comes."

"Don't be funny, it only takes me a moment to escape." Li Zigui said disgustedly, "I might not be able to escape if I take you with me."

Yan Ming: "..." Thinking about it, it seems to make sense.

...No no no.

"I am the protagonist in this world, Xie Nian can't do anything to me."

"You are the protagonist in this world, so recognize your responsibilities." Li Zigui said, "What if he does something to you? What if this is his trap to lure you?"

Yan Ming asked back, "What if he does something to you?"

That's okay.I don't matter in this world.

But Li Zigui would not say that.

He would just say, "Then I'll run."

Yan Ming: "..."

In the next hour or so, Li Zigui and Yan Ming engaged in a lot of meaningless and circular conversations, such as wrangling, secretly changing concepts, pretending to be stupid, etc., but finally failed to reach a solution.

Then Yan Ming's cell phone alarm rang.

Li Zigui looked at the time, it was eleven o'clock in the evening.

"What time? What's the alarm clock for?"

"...My usual time to wake up." Yan Ming turned off the alarm.

Li Zigui was just about to complain, when he suddenly thought of something, with an obviously malicious smile on his face: "Hey, it's time for bed now."

Yan Ming also realized: "...No."

"I'll give you 10 seconds to lie down on the bed." Li Zigui pointed to the temporary bed next to the desk.

Yan Ming jumped up from his office chair and was about to run.

Then he was pulled directly into the illusion, fell back heavily, and was forced to fall into a deep sleep.

Yan Ming saw the starry sky and the water again: "..." Why?Is it on?

"It's up to you." Li Zigui smiled.

Yan Ming raised his hand and directly grasped the hilt of the sword that appeared out of thin air.

"This is half of my spiritual world. If you cut it down, I might be gone." Li Zigui said calmly.

"...You know that the job of the master is to kill ghosts, right?" Yan Ming said, "I win the best employee award every year."

Li Zigui was unmoved, and even let out a mocking "Oh".

"..." Yan Ming really wanted to chop it off.

"Don't be so angry. Take a good rest and watch the stars," Li Zigui's tone suddenly softened, "It will be dawn."

The sky is full of stars.The surface of the lake is like a mirror.

For the first time, Yan Ming knew what the so-called "unable to refuse" felt like.
