Chapter 40 Chasing Daydreams

Liu Bai looked at him calmly, and said, "Do you want to date me?"

Zhang Deng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to come out like this.

In fact, he has already made two-handed preparations. If the other party says "I will consider it", then the plan will go through.If he said "You must be joking", then he would reply to Liu Bai that this is just a dialogue learned from watching Hong Kong movies before.

Anyway, he didn't expect Liu Bai to agree to him immediately, so he took a step back if he couldn't do it.Anyway, this answer, he is going to decide.

Liu Bai didn't think about it so much, he just lowered his head and worked for another three to five minutes, then threw a word to him: "I'm busy, I'll talk about it later."

"...Oh, oh." Zhang Deng had no choice but to go out in despair, not knowing which step went wrong.

The problem is not him, but Liu Bai.

As soon as Zhang Deng went out, Liu Bai looked back, and immediately pinched his red earlobes—his left and right earlobes covered by his hair were completely red.

He didn't expect Zhang Deng to confess his confession, and he always thought that this moment would be delayed for a long time, maybe after a few years, or maybe it would gradually fade away, making him lose the last possibility of delusion.

Before he could recover, the phone in his hand suddenly rang.

He patted his face, picked up his phone and picked it up.

"Hey."

※※※

Zhang Deng outside the door felt a sense of loss.

He walked into the guest room and took out his clothes, wondering how long he could stay this time.Although he really wanted to live there all the time, after all, Liu Bai's house had a lot of space, good facilities, and good decoration, but it was indeed a little far away from where he worked.

Unless he convinces Liu Bai and finds a way to shorten the journey time, then don't think about living here.

what to think.Hurry up to take a shower and change clothes to prepare for your first shift.

Zhang Deng took a set of black sportswear, and after putting it on, he felt as if he had turned into a wretched young man preparing to go out for a night raid.After looking in the mirror for a long time, I still felt that something was wrong.

Oh yes, he has no weapons and no long hair, too modern.

"Zhang Deng!" Liu Bai called him from downstairs.

He opened the door and ran out.

Liu Bai was standing downstairs, already dressed, with a long black knife pinned to his waist, and a folded white cloth tied on his head.He looked at the wat board in his hand, and said to Zhang Deng: "I will take you to collect the souls of the two people who died unexpectedly today, and briefly show you the operation. Have you brought your ultimatum?"

Zhang Deng nodded, and suddenly couldn't help asking: "I really wanted to ask... how did you get your long hair?"

Liu Bai touched his ponytail with his hand: "Is this?" He shook his head in a shampoo advertisement, making Zhang Deng want to go up and touch it.

"Blindfolded." He said briefly.

"Hmm...but is it a human or a ghost..." Zhang Deng weakly answered.

Liu Bai glanced at him and said, "Naturally, those who will be confused. Come on, tie this on the head."

Zhang Deng took a piece of white cloth from him, doubtfully picked up the string and tied it behind his head.

Strange to say, once the piece of cloth was stuck on his head, it turned into a piece of almost transparent paper.

Zhang Deng could feel its weight, but could barely see its presence.I stroked it casually with my hands, which had little effect on the line of sight.

"The 'Ask Yourself' facial scarf is ineffective for the user," said Liu Bai with four big characters written in strong strokes facing his forehead. "Only the ghosts who have been summoned will see the words on it. Either 'one' See making money' and 'world peace', or 'you're here too' and 'I'm catching you'."

Zhang Deng turned his head to look at his own reflection in the mirror, and was surprised to find that there was no reflection.

"Oh, that's right." Liu Bai took out a small pill from his pocket and threw it to Zhang Deng, "Take it."

"What is this? BUFF?" Zhang Deng took a look and threw it into his mouth.

"...You can also think of it this way." Liu Bai waved his jade wat, then took out a charm and began to make a seal, "The field staff of the underworld specially provide the 'common karma recruiting self-harm three generations' pill. Simply put, it is to take the good things in your body Some of the things are misappropriated to strengthen your mana. It is probably luck or blessings. Generally, you will not misappropriate it casually. The pill is just a reserve for you, and it will take effect when you encounter something. Ordinary people in the underworld generally have a little mana. .”

Seeing that he put a spell on his body, Zhang Deng couldn't laugh or cry: "But I don't have any magic power at all..."

Liu Bai blinked, and now he remembered.

"That's right." He thought for a while, turned around and went upstairs, and took out a wooden box from the room.

"What is this?" Zhang Deng didn't quite understand what he meant.

"Something for you." Liu Bai answered him briefly, and then opened the box.

It was a long, pitch-black stick, about two meters long.The stick is very modern. It is made of solid steel with advanced technology. There are several grips on the stick, and there are also several inexplicably designed bumps.

"'Zhan Liu' was forged by someone not long ago. There is a blade in it, and you can use it directly by pressing the mechanism. But I don't recommend you to use it as a bayonet. Practice the stick technique first."

After speaking, Liu Bai stuffed the stick into his arms.

Zhang Deng held the stick, frowning, not knowing what to do.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Liu Bai approached him while talking.

Zhang Deng felt that something was wrong, and before he had time to step back, Liu Bai slapped his face—no, it hit his chest, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

※※※

It's getting late, and it's a good time to work the night shift.

Zhang Deng got up from the ground in a daze, and complained: "You can't be gentler..." Then he saw his demented sleeping face on the sofa.

"Hmm... I'm out of my body again?" Zhang Deng quickly realized.

"Strictly speaking, it's not." Liu Bai pulled out the stick from Sleeping Lantern's hand, and threw it into Zhang Deng's hand with a confused face, who subconsciously caught it.

"Your current consciousness is attached to this stick. The most popular term today is 'shikigami'. You are now a shikigami. Well, follow me closely and get ready to go to work." Liu Bai said With one sentence, a formation of wind and cloud was immediately attracted, and the two of them were taken away.

"By the way, the video is still being uploaded. It should be fine after waiting for two hours." Liu Bai said suddenly, and Zhang Deng was focusing on his feet. It felt very dramatic to say so.

Liu Bai is still working on outsourcing programs in reality, and most of his food and water are purchased online, he is an out-and-out homeboy.This is the Liu Bai that Zhang Deng knew, and it was also the Liu Bai that he liked at the beginning.But when everything was developing in an angle he couldn't predict, he felt a little bit of rejoicing when he was confused.

Shouldn't it be fortunate that Liu Bai is not someone who has the possibility of "matching" with him in the general population?

Or should he be thankful that Liu Bai is no longer an ordinary person, and he can safely and boldly get involved with him.

Is that right?

He couldn't help turning his head slightly, and peeked at the white cloth on Liu Bai's face.

At this time, it was written "You are here too".

The two landed on top of the hospital more than a minute later.

Zhang Deng shook his stiff hands and feet, thinking that as expected, he would start from here.Most people start here and end in the same place.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Liu Bai opened the door to the roof and signaled him to go down together.

"Are there many people to be picked up today?" Zhang Deng asked.

"Not many." Liu Bai replied, "Just one."

"Huh?" Zhang Deng turned around in surprise, "But the ones in the corridor... don't need to be guided?"

He pointed to the corridor, pointing at the earthbound spirits and floating spirits who poked their heads out of the corner door quietly.When they saw the ghost guard pointing at them, they immediately retracted their heads in fright.The originally haggard and terrifying face suddenly became very funny.

"No need. They haven't reached the point of relief yet. We're going to pick up someone with a priority today." Liu Bai took the jade wat, looked around, and then went downstairs.

Zhang Deng tremblingly greeted the "uncle" who was making tea in the opposite cubicle, and hurried away.The uncle is very kind, but when he drank tea, the pipes on his body rushed out of the water, and the visual effect was very horrifying.

The two went around and went to the heart surgery department.At this time, the time for visiting patients had passed, and the lights in the corridors began to be turned off one after another. Only relatives in twos and threes remained in the ward, talking quietly to the patients.

This is the most tender moment, but I can feel a little sad.Zhang Deng was gloomy and felt uncomfortable, so he said, "Liu Bai, I don't feel quite right."

Liu Bai slowed down a bit, walked up to him and said, "There's nothing wrong, you can naturally feel my three-point emotions through me now. You can just ignore it, I'm watching what I'm going to do next." The life of the person who received it."

"What will happen next?" Zhang Deng asked curiously.

"You can listen to him say it himself." Liu Bai pushed open a door and turned his head into the room with the warm light on.

There is a person sitting on the bed.

The man had short hair and turned his back to the two of them.He was sitting on the edge of his bed, looking at the night view of Binhai City outside, shaking his feet, humming a little tune.

"Sir." Liu Bai called him, but the other party didn't seem to hear him at all.So Liu Bai raised his voice and said, "Sir!"

"Ah! Are you going to be checked?"

The "sir" came to his senses, turned his head and waved at the two of them: "Then please... eh? Who are you?"

This is a single ward, and ordinary patients do not enjoy such treatment.Zhang Deng was hesitating whether to ask permission to enter, but Liu Bai walked into the ward first and came to his bedside.

"What are you doing? Why are you wearing cosplay clothes? I don't remember any announcements from the comic show below? I haven't accepted a similar job for a long time. Who are you?"

The young-looking gentleman raised his head in surprise, lifted the music score in his hand, and put it in front of him to defend himself.

"We are... civil servants who came to pick you up." Liu Bai thought for a while and said helplessly.

"Hmm. Don't lie to me. I just had an operation the day before yesterday, so how could it be cured immediately? I don't believe you..." He touched his feet to the ground after finishing speaking, and then said stupidly, "Eh?"

"Look, you're ready. Come with us." Liu Bai walked over, his tone softened a bit.

Young looked suspiciously at the turban on his face: "...you make money at first sight, what, are you cosplaying Bai Wuchang? I'm not dead yet, if it's a prank show from some program group, please trouble the person in charge Come out and tell me what's going on. My agent would never do that."

"No." Liu Bai sighed, "Mr. Jing, we are black and white."

Zhang Deng remembered.

Jing Shanwei, currently one of the second-tier singers and actors in China, is about 28 years old, and is in an embarrassing period when he is more than enough than he is.The last time I saw him on TV was when he was promoted to the top eight on a song competition program "Impromptu SOLO" run by Binhai TV.

"Eh? Really? Am I dead?" Jing Shanwei said unexpectedly, his face full of surprise, "No way? I feel that my life is pretty rough."

"If you don't believe me, just look back." Liu Bai pointed behind him.

So Jing Shanwei turned his head, and then his eyes widened.

"WTF... oh my god!" He was startled, and the paper in his hand was scattered all over the floor.

Liu Bai bent down, picked up the white paper on the ground, and took a look.Jing Shanwei got up quickly, trying to take the paper from him: "What are you doing, give it back to me."

Bai Wuchang waved his hand in the air, and the paper dissipated.

Jing Shanwei's eyes straightened: "Hello!"

Liu Bai patted him on the back lightly, and let him sit back beside the bed, next to his body.

"These papers are just your thoughts. Look at the head of the bed, aren't the papers and pens still well placed?" He told Jing Shanwei patiently through the face scarf.Little Star followed the direction of his face and indeed found a blank staff.

Then his eyes dimmed.

Standing by the door, Zhang Deng looked at the medical certificate on the table and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.This didn't come from Liu Bai, but he had a feeling in his heart.

Jing Shanwei was doing miscellaneous work on film sets and music shows until he was 25 years old. Finally, he became famous and started writing songs and releasing albums. Everything was on track, but he had a heart attack and collapsed on the show. .

I thought I could recuperate well after the operation, but I didn't expect that on the third day after the operation, I started to have a high fever due to surgical infection, and died of organ failure not long after.

Zhang Deng has heard his songs. Although he is young, it contains vitality and thinking power that many contemporary singers and songwriters do not have. In ten years, he will definitely become a rare figure.

Jing Shanwei raised his head and let out a helpless, but still hearty laugh: "Ah~ah, I just died like this. I'm obviously still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from my goal."

Liu Bai's inner feelings were more or less conveyed to Zhang Deng's heart, and the two of them were speechless for a while, only feeling their noses sore.

"Hey, don't be sad." Jing Shanwei comforted the two instead, "I'm not a big shot, so it's not a pity to fall at the starting point, after all, it didn't take much effort."

He continued: "Let me tell you something that suddenly occurred to you. When I went to the program of "Good Student", I went to the local high school with the program group. It's fun to say, do you know that I can actually draw? "

Liu Bai nodded, Zhang Deng shook his head in surprise.

"I used to learn it for a while. It's also for my own creation to make some simple designs." He had a nostalgic expression on his face, "So I went to an art class and sat down to draw with the people next to me. Sketching. As a result, after two classes, no one knew who I was."

"I couldn't help it, and quietly asked the people next to me: 'Do you know who I am', thinking that everyone is busy with homework, so if you ask, you will notice me. The result? People know me." Jing Shanwei spread his hands dumbfounded.

"It's not a big deal. I didn't give up, because I just released my second album at the time, so I thought someone would know, so I went to the next classroom and continued to ask. But—"

Jing Shanwei's thin body covered under the blue and white striped hospital gown couldn't help trembling.

"No one knows me. Five classes, no one."

Zhang Deng clenched the stick in his hand.He wanted to tell Jing Shanwei that he had bought his digital album and listened to those songs carefully. He also more or less checked Jing Shanwei's information intentionally or unintentionally. He could be regarded as his little fan, but he couldn't bear it. Living.

"It's probably because it's impossible to succeed in this life. That's good, and save a few years of hardship." Jing Shanwei smiled in relief, and got off the ground and put on his shoes.

"Need a change? Or just go on the road?" he asked.

Liu Bai stood up slowly, seemed to think about the sentence for a while, and then said to him: "No need. After a while, your relatives will send you clothes and money. You can report to the local agency with us first. "

"Okay, then I'll trouble you two bad guys. Oh, by the way, can I go and say goodbye to the two fans downstairs first? That's all, Tuomeng?" He scratched his head.

Liu Bai glanced at him, calculated the time, and let him go.

Zhang Deng followed him and went up to the rooftop, feeling unspeakable in his heart, but could only remain silent.

"Don't be sad." Liu Bai said suddenly, he searched for some words and sentences clumsily, and said to Zhang Deng, "Even if he goes down, he can continue to make music, until before reincarnation."

"How long is that?" Zhang Deng asked him.

"Ten years. He has done good deeds before, so he can return to human reincarnation sooner." Liu Bai pinched his fingers and calculated, then took out the jade wat and showed Zhang Deng the records on it.

After reading it, Zhang Deng was completely silent.

Not long after, Jing Shanwei swayed up to the rooftop, and said to the two of them, "My lords, please show me the way."

Seeing his happy face, Zhang Deng couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

can not say.He couldn't tell Jing Shanwei.

When Jing Shanwei was disposing of boxed lunches on a set in a remote area, he gave half a carload of uneaten meals to beggars at garbage stations.

There were three children in this beggar's family. In the cold winter months, they survived the most difficult period of time relying on the steamed buns and pickles in their lunch boxes.

The eldest knew Jing Shanwei and became a singer 15 years later.

The second child knew Jing Shanwei, and ten years later he became a senior manager of a catering company.

The third child couldn't get enough to eat, because these steamed buns finally didn't starve to death.As an adult, he became a famous cardiologist, and he treated one patient after another with serious heart problems in this hospital in Binhai.

The long-term rewards finally converged into the good luck that Jing Shanwei himself knew nothing about, but it all appeared after his death.

This is a mistake.
