a ghost pretending to be human

After finishing Yan Ming, Li Zigui went to Lu Yiyi to help drag Yan Ming's body to the bed.

Of course, it was Ye Dao who carried Yan Ming over in the end.

Lu Yiyi was next to him repeatedly ordering Ye Dao to move lightly and not bump into anything.

Yan Ming, who wrapped himself into a ball, was stuffed tightly into the quilt, only his head was exposed.The hat was taken off, and it was left on the pillow.His complexion is still pale, and he should not be heated.

Li Zigui nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Lu Yiyi, "I'm going to see Xie Nian later."

"...Huh?" Lu Yiyi, who secretly took a picture of Yan Ming's sleeping face, didn't realize it for a while.

Li Zigui calculated in his mind, and there was still plenty of time, so he decided to chat with Lu Yiyi for a while.

"Do you have any black technology that you can use to solve him?" He looked expectant.

Lu Yiyi blinked, and put away the phone: "I should have all the black technology thanks..."

"...Ah." Li Zigui was very disappointed.

"If you want me to say, the existence of masters in your world is black technology..." Lu Yiyi curled her lips and muttered, "But the settings of this world are quite complete, and they haven't rejected our world yet. ability."

"Eh?" Li Zigui was a little curious, "What is your world like?"

"Well... How should I put it, it's not much different from your world in general, but it's a lot different in small aspects. At least our countries and cities have Chinese... C language names. It's not as simple and rude as yours. Call it ABC..."

"...We used to have names. It was just in 1917..."

"I know, I know, I've already understood it." Lu Yiyi covered her face, "This world has actually created a complete history to explain this setting, which is obviously due to the author's laziness..."

Li Zigui: "..." The mood is delicate.

"To be honest, I think it's better not to have any direct conflict with Xie Nian." Lu Yiyi said seriously, "I haven't been a plot maintainer for long, and I'm not proficient in this area of ​​business, and Ye Dao is even a newbie. , but according to Chen Xiangqing's description, Xie Nian is obviously an experienced boss, and if we really match up, we may not be able to deal with him. I have already reported it to the headquarters, and the headquarters will arrange someone to deal with it."

Li Zigui didn't make a sound.

He glanced at Ye Dao.After revealing his identity, Ye Dao completely shed his soft and cute shell, and followed Lu Yiyi silently all the time, looking very cold and stern, it was hard to imagine how he could put down his body and pretend to be stupid.

...But Ye Dao is still quite silly and sweet in nature.

Li Zigui, who had deceived Ye Dao once, thought with a guilty conscience.

Yan Ming talked to him before, thanking these people for ruining the plot, the purpose is to threaten the new world.Once the plot deviates too much, the world will collapse due to data out of control.By destroying some worlds, they are trying to make an example of others, so as to force other worlds to submit.As long as a certain world supplies a part of their own energy, the plot of this world will not be interfered with maliciously, and it can basically run smoothly forever.

The world he lived in refused to confess and was attacked for it.

"Won't they get stronger and stronger when they gain strength?" He thought for a while and asked, "How did you manage to fight?"

Lu Yiyi hesitated and said: "If we successfully maintain the plot, it is generally accepted that the world will give us a little energy as a thank you."

She immediately said again: "This topic is not clear. Anyway, the energy is handed over to the boss of the headquarters. I am just a part-time worker. I just want to do something good to make some money. The rest has nothing to do with me."

Her evasive attitude is obvious, and the hidden meaning behind the words is worth exploring, but Li Zigui has no interest in digging it out now.He said directly: "Will Xie Nian be let off by your headquarters?"

"As long as you don't want him to be let go." Lu Yiyi replied simply and decisively, "In the end, Xie Nian is just a worker under the hands of those demons. There are many people who can replace him. These people can't take it." To energy, to do tasks to save lives."

"Oh?"

Lu Yiyi thought for a while, and explained roughly: "The group of demons have created a system, screening souls all the time, and there are only three conditions: high energy, dying, and strong desire to survive. And then through the language trap Make a contract with those souls, spend some energy to repair the body of that soul, and from then on that soul belongs to them. Their system is quite complete. Each soul will get a certain amount of points at the beginning, which can be consumed in exchange for a certain amount of help. Then They are forced to send them to various starting tasks, points will be deducted if they fail the task, points will be added if they succeed, and if the points return to zero, they will be eaten by demons."

"As for our plot maintainers," she said instead, "five social insurances and one housing fund are complete, high monthly salary, daily bonuses and benefits, and a friendly atmosphere among colleagues. If you need help, you just need to report. Moreover, our image is very positive. There is also face."

Li Zigui: "...?"

"So," Lu Yiyi's eyes sparkled, "When the story of this world is over, no matter what the result is, I warmly welcome you to become a member of us! I have already prepared the report, and you will be able to get the official report soon." Invitation letter, as long as you go through a little training, you can become a hero who saves countless worlds!"

Li Zigui: "... How many invitation letters are there?"

"Only one!" Lu Yiyi's voice was high.

Li Zigui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lu Yiyi immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and made amends: "Yan Ming said that he cares about this world and has no time to care about the safety of other worlds..."

Li Zigui smiled perfunctorily, and wanted to respond casually, but heard something vaguely.

The faint sound of the flute flowed from a distance, gently and densely circling around him.

Lu Yiyi, who couldn't hear the flute, noticed that Li Zigui's expression was wrong: "What's wrong?"

Li Zigui raised his hand and tapped the air lightly.A crisp "Bang" sound echoed in the air, shaking away the flute sounds.

However, the sound of the flute kept coming, and the gentle melody woven by the precise notes continued on its own, expressing a clear and simple command: "Come."

"I have to go see Xie Nian." Li Zigui said softly, "If I'm delayed by something, you can go and tell Yan Ming tomorrow: 'The things are in Xie's mansion.'"

"Delayed?" Lu Yiyi looked confused.

"Yeah." Li Zigui said, "I may not be able to come back in time tomorrow."

The sound of the flute suddenly sounded, and the treble sounded across the air smoothly and smoothly, forming a huge force, pushing him in the direction of the piper.

Following this force, he floated across the space passage between the human world and the ghost cave, over the high and low buildings, over the lonely suburban fields, over rivers, lakes, bridges and dirt roads, and arrived at the edge of City B. Xie's Mansion.

Under the soft moonlight, this silent house cast a deep shadow, exuding a gloomy coldness, like a sleeping monster.It is dilapidated.The exquisite carvings fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the paint on the wooden beams also peeled off a lot.The vegetation decayed, the ponds dried up, and only the ivy spread around, winding and climbing up all the ruined walls.

In the main room, moonlight shines through the window, slightly illuminating the people by the window.

Xie Nian was playing the flute at a leisurely pace.

He raised his eyes and saw Li Zigui who had almost merged with the shadow in the corner, and calmly put down his flute.

"Looking for me?" Li Zigui asked.

"Looking for you," Xie Nian scrutinized Li Zigui's eyebrows, "Nian."

Li Zigui: "Go, go, thousands of miles of mist."

Xie Nian: "The dusk is heavy and the sky is wide."

The air suddenly froze.

Li Zigui: "...your world also has this poem."

Xie Nian: "...um."

Li Zigui: "... just now I subconsciously. This is the poems that must be memorized in the college entrance examination."

Xie Nian: "...Oh."

Li Zigui: "..."

Xie Nian: "..."

An awkward atmosphere permeated the air.

Xie Nian gave a fake cough: "...can we talk about business?"

Li Zigui: "... yes."
