The evolutionary history from a scumbag to a loyal dog

Tang Yuchen stopped in front of a house.

This is an old classic house in the middle of two skyscrapers.

Although the mission Shan Yu gave him was to bring something to the owner of the house, he didn't know what it was.

Tang Yuchen looked at the house number written on the outside of the house, and couldn't help but check the address Shan Yu gave him again.

Although this is not the capital, but a second-tier city, this kind of old house has almost disappeared in any city, and it is rarely seen again.Especially the one in front of me is still located between two skyscrapers... It doesn't seem like it belongs to this world.

When Tang Yuchen was hesitating whether to ring the doorbell, the door opened automatically.

...But such a mysterious way of automatically opening the door seems like something that Shan Yu would let him come into contact with.

After walking inside, Tang Yuchen realized that although the house looked old from the outside, the interior decoration was very novel.Overall, it imitates the Japanese style. From the door to the inside, this short road is designed like a small garden: stone paths, small ponds, corridors and rockeries, not too big or small, exquisite just right.

Walking into the inner room, the inside is also in Japanese style, with warm yellow lights, giving people a clean and elegant feeling.

What surprised Tang Yuchen the most was that the person sitting inside turned out to be an elderly old lady.

The old woman was sitting at the small wooden table, slowly sipping a cup of tea, she was not surprised to see him coming in, but smiled, as if she was waiting for him.

Tang Yuchen walked in slowly, and greeted politely first: "Hi, I'm Tang Yuchen."

"I know it's you." The old woman replied with a smile, her voice was old and scary, "Sit down, the tea is ready for you. But you came a bit late, the tea is already cold."

"It's okay." Tang Yuchen didn't think it was inconceivable that Shan Yu would meet some strange friends.He would be surprised if Shan Yu asked him to look for an ordinary old woman this time.

"Can I get you another drink?"

"No need, I have a bad stomach, so I can't drink tea." Tang Yuchen didn't lie, he was already hungry when he came here.If you drink tea on an empty stomach, it won't be surprising if you don't have a stomachache.

"Then let's eat something."

"Hurry up and bring some snacks for this guest." But when Tang Yuchen saw the old lady saying this to a cloud of air not far away, she couldn't help being surprised.Because from Tang Yuchen's perspective, there was nothing at the place where the old woman was looking.

But miraculously, after a while, two small plates filled with snacks came floating in the air until they landed safely in front of him.

Tang Yuchen found it incredible, but out of politeness, he didn't ask questions that might be considered rude.After he thanked him, he took out what Shan Yu asked him to bring this time—it was a small glass bottle with a bright light emitting from it, and said: "This is the bottle that Shan Yu asked me to give to you. of."

"As expected, that girl knows best what I want." Then the glass bottle left Tang Yuchen's hand automatically, and slowly "flyed" into the old woman's hand.The old woman opened the cap of the bottle and let out all the shiny things.

Tang Yuchen watched the old woman raise her head and said to the cloud of air in front of her eyes, "It's for you, accept it now."

...and then, all those shiny things are gone.

The old woman smiled with satisfaction, then lowered her head.

After that, it was the things that frightened Tang Yuchen.

Because when the old woman raised her head again, the old-looking woman turned into a beautiful woman who looked about 20 years old. If the silver hair was not still there, Tang Yuchen might not be sure that what he saw just now was a beautiful woman. Old woman.

Tang Yuchen stared wide-eyed, unable to speak a word for a while.

However, he is a person who has experienced big scenes, so as long as he forces himself to accept things of this level, he can still accept them.

"My name is Yu, the concubine of the matchmaker's words." When she spoke again, her voice became clearer, like a real girl.

"Oh..." Tang Yuchen came back to his senses and lowered his head.

"You can just call me by my name, don't be restrained." She said to Tang Yuchen, "This is what I should be like."

"Hmm..." Tang Yuchen thought that he was just here to deliver something for Shan Yu, and no matter what the woman in front of him looked like, it had nothing to do with him.

"It seems you can't see these children of mine."

Tang Yuchen raised his head when she said that.

He saw that she was looking at him with a smile, and then stretched out her finger and tapped the center of his brow.Tang Yuchen felt a chill as if it had soaked through his whole body from that point, and his thoughts seemed to be frozen for a second because of the coldness.But when the warmth flowed back from his body, he found that the area where there was nothing in front of him seemed to gradually show the outline of something, and then it became more and more obvious, until finally, when Tang Yuchen could fully see what it was , screamed "ah" directly, and fell directly backwards.

In fact, what Tang Yuchen saw was not any particularly scary and weird monsters, but two very "strange things". They looked like dragons and not dragons, and snakes and not snakes. It is a monster that only appeared in ancient myths and novels.

If Tang Yuchen could force himself to calm down after the previous series of anecdotes, but seeing such a thing, it would be impossible if he wasn't afraid.

"Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you." Xie said to him, "They are called 'Death Worms', and they were separated from me."

"Death bug?" Hearing the name, Tang Yuchen felt that this was not something he could get close to casually.

"They will be separated from the owner when a person is about to die. They will protect the owner in his last days and help the owner to fulfill his last wish as much as possible." Xie said indifferently, "I have been doing this since a long time ago. They were dying at the beginning, but because I didn’t want to die, I kept them.”

"..." Tang Yuchen felt it was absurd and didn't know how to answer.

But at that time, he didn't think too much about it. He thought that his mission was just to deliver things to the concubine in front of him.Now that the things are in the hands of the other party, he can say goodbye.

"Since the things are already in your hands, then I won't bother you." Tang Yuchen stood up, just wanting to leave this strange place quickly.

"Is this going to leave?" Xie asked.

"Yes."

"That's really a pity." Yu said, "It seems that Shan Yu didn't tell you that you can't leave here for the time being."

"..." Tang Yuchen paused, turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"Although I don't know what Shan Yu told you, she told me that you will stay with me for a while and ask me to take good care of you." Xie's expression didn't look like she was joking at all, "If you don't believe me, you can leave, but I don't guarantee that you will be able to go out."

Tang Yuchen's first reaction was to think that she was scaring him, but when he took a few steps forward, the two dead insects entangled and floated in front of him, staring at him with a ferocious and threatening expression, Tang Yuchen realized that Realize that you are serious.

... Is he really going to be trapped in this inexplicable place by an inexplicable person for no reason?

... A good man doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages. When Tang Yuchen realized that the situation in front of him was not good for him, he returned to the low chair opposite the concubine and sat down.

"So, how many days am I going to stay here?"

Xie shrugged: "I don't know, someone will pick you up when the time comes, that's what Shan Yu told me."

"..." Tang Yuchen knew that it was unlikely that his next question would be answered, but he couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"Shan Yu never does things for no reason."

"Then why did you agree to help her? After all, I am a complete stranger to you."

The two dead insects were entangled around the body of the concubine, and the scene looked extremely strange.She looked at Tang Yuchen and said with a smile, "Because Shan Yu gave me what I wanted."

Then what she wanted was the little bottle he handed to her just now, so Tang Yuchen asked: "Are those shiny things in the glass bottle just now?"

"Since you're going to stay here for a few days, why don't you settle down and chat with me?" Concubine's tone was gentle, ignoring Tang Yuchen's question, and said to herself, "I can also explain it to you slowly. Listen, what is it that you see before your eyes?"

Tang Yuchen sighed, he seemed to have no choice but to accept it.

"These two... bugs? What the hell are they?" Tang Yuchen was still nervous because he couldn't accept these two "monsters" who were always entwined around her.

"It's almost the same thing I explained to you just now." It seems that she really intends to answer his question seriously, "The dead insects will only be separated from the body of the dying person, and the meaning of existence is to help the master complete The last wish. Generally speaking, a person will have four dead insects, and when they all return to the human body, that is, when a person really dies... Does it sound incredible? But the dead insects are not Everyone has them, and they're something only a very small number of people have."

Tang Yuchen's brain was still working quite well, so he immediately understood what it meant after listening to it like this.

"...Oh, will they listen to you then?"

"Dead insects can't speak, and they can't make any sounds, but they can communicate with their masters similar to a kind of telepathy." Xie said clearly, "I am a psychic, and I have what ordinary people don't have. ability. But when I knew that I was going to die, I couldn't accept it... because I still have a wish that has not been fulfilled, and my obsession with this wish is too strong, causing my dead insects to break through the time limit limit."

"...Well, what do you mean?" Tang Yuchen didn't mean to interrupt her, but he was indeed vague about the last sentence she said.

"...I locked the time of the dead insects."

"...Then, what happens then?"

"It will be very painful, I." Concubine said, "For example, my appearance, in an instant, has aged into the appearance of an old woman."

"……Feel sorry."

"It was Shan Yu who helped me." I don't mind mentioning this to Tang Yuchen a little bit, "Locking the time of the dead insects means that the dead insects will never return to my body, and I will not Death will usher in the true sense. But at the same time, it also means that the dead insects and I have been one since then. If the dead insects disappear in the world, then I will be reduced to ashes directly... But the dead insects Staying in the human world, the ability itself will automatically weaken with the passage of time. In order to prevent the power of the dead insects from dissipating, I have been feeding them."

Xie picked up the empty glass bottle: "It's what you brought to me. It's these things that can restore the strength of my dead insects and restore my original appearance."

Tang Yuchen adjusted his glasses: "...Then may I ask, what is it inside?"

"It's a dead soul." There was a cold smile on the corner of Yu's mouth, "It's the soul of a dead person."
