When the food reserves become my wife

At night, when the yang qi subsides and the yin qi grows, it is the time when evil and sycophants are active. I can't find any reason not to let Liao Chi go out, so in order to prevent Liao Chi from encountering accidents, I can only sacrifice my spare time at night to follow him.At first, I wanted to use Yige to look after Liao Chi for me, but Yige politely declined because his job is to monitor me.

After nearly a month of secret observation, I found that Liao Chi is a person who has no nightlife. When he has no entertainment, he drives home after work every day. After finishing dinner at the restaurant or ordering a takeaway, he enjoys the wind on the balcony and watches TV. , or go for a walk with the dog with Liao Lianjun, and go to bed early.

Liao Chi suffers from insomnia, so it is difficult to fall asleep, but he is not afraid of sleep like other insomnia patients. Even if he can't fall asleep, he will lie in bed until he is woken up by the alarm the next day.Such a retired old man’s life didn’t appeal to me at all, and soon I became a little lazy, every day when Liao Chi was in another room, he sat on the outdoor unit of his air conditioner and played games with his mobile phone.

When it rains, I usually hide in his kitchen. I have never seen Liao Chi cook at home, so the only function of his kitchen is to place the refrigerator.

In the middle of the night, whenever he was dreaming, I would enter his dream, beat that "nightmare" hard in a place where he could not see, and then eat the dream.Although it can't completely eliminate it, it can reduce its influence on Liao Chi's mind to a certain extent. I don't want my boss and grain reserve to be made miserable by this lowly creature.

Although dream eaters are also classified as "nightmare", every dream eater clearly knows that we are completely different from them. We feed on human dreams, fantasies and emotions, while they like to invade Infect the mind and soul of human beings, so as to gain resentment to supplement themselves.

As the Hungry Ghost Festival approaches, the grievances and evil spirits in the air become more and more intense. The Taoist group that had been silent for some reason before became active and hunted down the monsters who took advantage of the opportunity to do evil, while the converts were busy saving the wandering souls. .

On the day of Zhongyuan, Liao Chi didn't come to the company all day. Liao Lianjun came to the company in the morning and stayed for two hours before leaving.

It is estimated that it is to pay homage to deceased relatives.

After work, I went to Liao Chi's house to look for him, but unexpectedly, he was not at home.I suddenly had an ominous premonition, calmed down and felt Liao Chi's own aura, I frowned.

Liao Chi is now in the southwest corner of the city. If I remember correctly, there is a cemetery there.

It won't be long before the sky will be dark, when the gate of the underworld will open, all the ghosts will be released, Liao Chi, a living person in the cemetery, will definitely encounter evil spirits, he has a nightmare... I dare not think about it anymore, immediately Headed to the cemetery.

The sun is gradually setting to the west, and beautiful fire clouds are burning in the sky. The yang energy in this land has begun to dissipate. I saw a bald man put a bowl of white rice at the corner of the alley, chanting the mantra of Purdue, and pretending to be The Taoist priest wandered on the street, looking casually at the pedestrians around him.

I rushed to the cemetery at the fastest speed. In the twilight, the neat gray tombstones stood silently, and the pine trees on both sides were green.In the solemnity, I found Liao Chi.He was wearing a black shirt and trousers, squatting halfway in front of a tombstone, and there was a bouquet of brightly blooming white roses where the incense burner should have been placed.

The back of Liao Chi's shirt was completely wet with sweat and stuck to his body, and some sweat dripped down his temples and hit the ground.I don't know how long he has been here, but it is certain that the time will not be short.

It was going to be completely dark soon, I was a little anxious, thinking about how to get Liao Chi to leave, but Liao Chi stood up, maybe because he squatted for too long, he almost fell down.He stood there with his eyes closed for a few seconds, as if he was waiting for his numb legs to regain consciousness, and then slowly walked towards the gate of the cemetery.

All the way out of the cemetery in silence, he didn't take a taxi, but walked slowly along the road, I followed behind him so anxiously that I wanted to pull him into the car by his collar so that he could get out of here quickly.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and finally, the last ray of light disappeared. In the direction of the northern imperial capital, a golden light invisible to ordinary people suddenly exploded. Accompanied by the solemn reciting like a huge bell, the gate connecting the Yin and Yang worlds slowly opened.

I could vaguely hear the sighs and cries of ghosts behind me. I glanced behind me, and saw countless translucent dead souls rising from the cemetery and flying in all directions to find their living family members.Not caring about revealing my identity, I resumed my human body and ran towards Liao Chi.

"President Liao!" I called out to him when I was ten meters away.

Hearing the sound, Liao Chi turned his head and was obviously surprised to see me. A ghost passed by behind him, as if attracted by the nightmare breath on his body, the ghost stopped and stretched out his hand to touch Liao Chi.I hurried forward, greeted Liao Chi with a smile, and at the same time exuded my aura to surround the ghost like a warning.The ghost was so frightened by me, it trembled a few times, and quickly floated away.

"How will you be here?"

"I'm here to pay homage to a friend." I made up a reason again, apologized in my heart for the unknown "friend" who died inexplicably, and suggested: "Let's go back together."

"it is good."

Liao Chi probably chose to walk back because he wanted to be alone, but for his safety, I definitely couldn't fulfill his wish. Fortunately, Liao Chi didn't seem to dislike my joining in the middle, so I felt a little relieved. Walk slowly along the road together.

Liao Chi didn't say a word, and I couldn't find anything to say. The two of them just walked side by side silently, but I didn't feel the slightest embarrassment.

……

In fact, it was because all my attention was attracted by the ghosts around me, and I didn't have time to pay attention to the atmosphere between the two of us.

The resentment in Liao Chi's body has a fatal attraction for some ghosts who died wronged, but with my company, they dare not approach, and just stare at Liao Chi from a distance.This attraction is mutual, Nightmare is also attracted by the souls of the dead, and gradually wakes up and riots.I glanced at Liao Chi quite nervously. He obviously had no expression on his face, but I could feel a little sadness between those handsome eyebrows and eyes.

The cemetery is in the suburbs. Shelter forests are planted on both sides of the road, and they grow extremely lush. There are few vehicles along the way. Only the shadows of the two of us are projected on the ground under the street lamps. As we keep pace, we are followed by a group of coveted The ghost of Mr. Reserve Food.

Yan's fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger, it seems that this impatient guy must come out today.I secretly looked around, looking for a way to keep Liao Chi safe without revealing my identity.

……

nonexistent.

This is the end result of my thinking.

Maybe there is a way to get the best of both worlds, but I can't think of any use!

Secretly despising my brain which is obviously very good at learning but just doesn't know how to plan, I watched the increasingly obvious black air on Liao Chi's body and the huge worm gradually forming in the shadow, and grabbed his wrist with the hand hanging by my side.

Liao Chi immediately turned his head and looked at me with puzzled eyes. I didn't explain and dragged him into the protective forest beside the road.

"Wait a minute, Lin Xuqing, wait!"

Ignoring Liao Chi's words, I ran all the way to the depths of the woods before stopping. Liao Chi ran a little unsteadily, and I couldn't see the expression on his face in the darkness, I just heard him panting: "You... ..."

Before the next word came out, I covered his mouth with my hand, and the warm breath sprayed on my palm. I pressed Liao Chi's shoulder with one hand and pressed him to the thick poplar tree, and then pressed my body tightly against it.

At that moment, Liao Chi's body froze obviously.

"Don't make a sound, no matter what you see, don't make a sound." I whispered in his ear.

Liao Chi was stunned for two seconds, then nodded lightly, I let go of my hand covering his mouth, and quietly let my breath wrap the two of them tightly.The two of us were so tight that I could feel his violent heartbeat.This is a pain that has always been in my chest pocket. Under the sudden squeeze, it didn't even have time to protest, and was directly forced to turn into a thin gardenia specimen.

One second before I dragged Liao Chi into the woods, Yan used the power of the ghost to break free from the shackles of Liao Chi's body and came to the world.It separated from Liao Chi's shadow, its body suddenly became huge, and it wriggled and chased us into the woods.Its heavy body makes dead branches and rotten leaves creak, which is extremely clear in the silence and extremely oppressive.

Liao Chi's heartbeat was abnormally fast. I thought he was afraid of the ugly worms not far away, so I quietly held his hand as comfort.His hands were covered in sweat, and were trembling slightly at this moment. When he saw my hand reaching out, he hesitated for a moment, then held it tightly.

But... why is his heart beating faster?

Nightmare must have smelled the breath of my old enemy, it didn't attack directly, it was obviously afraid.While searching for the trace of Liao Chi, this thing approached me secretly.

Nightmare's origin is still in Liao Chi's heart, but because my breath cuts off the connection between it and the origin, it cannot sense Liao Chi's position.With my other hand, I took out a porcelain bottle from my trousers pocket, pried the lid off with my thumb, and the light green mist drifted out from it, with a fresh and pleasant aroma.

This smell also attracted Yan, the swishing sound of the body rubbing against the ground became louder, and the speed of its wriggling accelerated.Liao Chi also felt something approaching. He raised the hand that was not held by me to cover his mouth to prevent himself from subconsciously screaming and messing things up.

Estimating the distance to it, I took a step back to distance myself from Liao Chi, then suddenly threw the porcelain bottle in the direction where Yan was, dragged Liao Chi and ran away.
