Resurrected

"This is the second time someone has said that to me today."

Chen Lin spoke suddenly.

"I don't know why you think so, but I don't have this plan, and I can't threaten you."

Tang Kexin shook his head, "Your existence is a threat."

"Ha." Chen Lin sneered. "Then you want me to simply erase myself? I'm sorry, this can't be done. Are you so guarded against a novice, aren't you high-level ghosts too concerned about gains and losses?"

"We are just more sensitive to danger." Tang Kexin said, "Because we have to fight against it every moment."

"You mean, I'm a danger to you."

"It can be said that." Tang Kexin asked: "If you want to gain the ability to protect yourself, I can teach you some fighting skills. You don't have to go to the corpse picker training."

Chen Lin was silent for a moment.

"What if I say no? Are you going to kill me?"

He looked at Tang Kexin, waiting for his answer.

"I do not know."

Tang Kexin looked hesitant, "I can see the ambition hidden in your eyes, but I can't guess what you want to do."

"Everyone said that." Chen Lin cursed.

"what?"

Tang Kexin's ears moved. "I never asked, who is the other person you said that said that about you?"

"You don't know me." Chen Lin was a little impatient.

"There are no ghosts here that I don't know." Tang Kexin looked worried.

"You know the youngest member of the guidance team who trained me?" Chen Lin asked.

Tang Kexin frowned and thought. "...It's a little familiar, but I don't have much impression. It shouldn't be a very powerful character."

"Haha." Chen Lin laughed out loud. "I must convey this sentence to him truthfully tomorrow, and his face will definitely look good."

Speaking of which, Tang Kexin should be able to see some powerful characters, and Tang Kexin himself is even more powerful.Being a roommate with Tang Kexin like this is considered a potential threat, Chen Lin felt that he should be honored.

But in fact, he wasn't happy at all.It is true that he has his own little plan, but before the plan is launched, it is not what he expected to be spotted by so many ghosts.

Chen Lin looked at Tang Kexin. He was the one who said the word "enemy" himself just now, and his heart skipped a beat in shock.But now, Tang Kexin seemed to have forgotten what he said, and he didn't show any murderous intent just now.

"Speaking of which, I also have something I want to ask." Seeing that the security was temporarily lifted, Chen Lin put down his vigilance a little and asked, "Why can you and the youngest see that I have a plan? Could it be that I am so obvious?" ?”

"Have you asked the youngest about this?"

"No, I don't believe his answer." Chen Lin answered truthfully. "But he said he saw it in my eyes."

Chen Lin felt that he had always been able to hide his good emotions well, but these ghosts were all like monsters, and they could see what was going on in his heart.First Lao Liu, then the youngest, and then Tang Kexin.

Tang Kexin looked over and stared into Chen Lin's eyes. "I can see a lot from the eyes. Every time I swing a knife, I can see a lot from the eyes of those people, fear, anger, and hatred. In this underground world, the most I see is numbness and despair."

"But you don't see any of these things in your eyes." Tang Kexin said word by word. "This is the first time you come to this underground world, why are you not confused, not afraid, not shrinking, the light in your eyes betrays you. A person who doesn't know fear is the most terrifying."

Chen Lin stretched out his hand and caressed the corner of his eyes.

"Can ghosts see so clearly?"

"Because we live in the underground where there is only darkness, when there is a glint of light, it will be particularly dazzling." Tang Kexin asked in a low voice: "What exactly do you want to do here?"

"Would you believe me if I said I couldn't do anything?"

"Do not believe."

Hearing his straightforward answer, Chen Lin smiled helplessly. "Actually, I don't know it myself. Before I came here, I was working and struggling every day, envious of other people's wealth and freedom. After I came here, I just want to go back to the ordinary life before. Now , I don’t know what I want anymore.”

Tang Kexin looked at him quietly.

"I used to want to go back, to get back what was lost, my parents, my family, my freedom. I used to want to get revenge, to find out who threw me into this world. Until a second ago, I still thought about it."

"Not now?" Tang Kexin asked.

Chen Lin shook his head. "I don't know, it's just that I suddenly remembered something, when you mentioned eyes."

Chen Lin's eyes were dark brown, a bit darker than ordinary people's, but they were not black yet. Tang Kexin's eyes were black, almost impermeable to light.

"You didn't see fear and retreat in my eyes because I hid them very deeply. You didn't see numbness in my eyes because..."

Chen Lin paused, "It's because I've been numb enough to get used to it. When I was still alive, I ran around every day for next month's salary, changing one job after another. I don't want to go home and face my loved ones. I don't know what I was thinking at that time, or it is very simple, I am just like other people living in the city, just to survive, but not to 'live'."

He continued: "The funny thing is that I woke up after losing everything. I want to make up for what I owe my parents, and I want to work hard to do things that I didn't even dare to think about before. I want to return to the surface, and even feel the sun Precious, this is something that I would never have thought about before. In fact, I have also been changed by this underground world, and now I am more like a 'living person'."

"What does it mean to be alive?" Chen Lin asked himself and answered, "Is it the me who had no purpose, didn't care about my surroundings, and was numb to the world? Or is it now that I am ambitious and want to do something, have goals, and have motivation? , can I cherish this world more?"

Tang Kexin asked, "Is there any difference?"

"The difference is that the one who lived before was just a 'person', but the one who lives now is 'Chen Lin'."

Seeing Tang Kexin's puzzled expression, he sighed and said again: "In your words, freedom is not taken away by others, but given up by oneself. Similarly, life and the right to live are not taken away by this underground world, but It was buried by the fear in my heart. At least now I am more like a living person than before, um, according to this side, I am a living ghost."

"I don't know what you mean by what you said." Tang Kexin said indifferently: "It's just that you are more dangerous now than before."

After he finished speaking, the murderous aura that had been restrained bloomed coldly.Chen Lin just stood there, but felt that he was being watched by a terrifying monster.

Tang Kexin's eyes were black and emotionless.Chen Lin's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and asked, "Are you going to kill me?"

"In consideration."

"But I don't want to die yet, what should I do?" Chen Lin tilted his head. "How about a compromise? If you are worried that I will do something dangerous, instead of worrying about whether to kill me and when to kill me. How about you monitor my every move so that you can make a decision at any time."

"You can be a witness." Chen Lin said, "Monitor my every move in this underground world."

"……what do you want to do?"

Tang Kexin asked again.

"I don't know." Chen Lin smiled. "Many, many, and very few. I want to see this underground world with my own eyes, to see what it is and what it has."

"That's difficult." Tang Kexin said, "Very difficult."

"I know, so you can take your time." Chen Lin said: "At least I now know that there is one you in this underground world, and there are many ghosts like you."

"Less than ten are the same as me." Tang Kexin was a little dissatisfied. "not that much."

Chen Lin was dumbfounded by his pickiness. "So, can you ignore killing me for the time being, and be willing to be my witness?" He placed a chip. "Isn't it very rare to have a suitable roommate like me? You can keep it."

Tang Kexin seemed to be thinking about it.

"I can try it for you."

"I can live with your strange... some of your habits."

"I also don't mind if you go out in the middle of the night and come back smelling of blood."

"Where are you going to find such a non-critical roommate?" Chen Lin blinked. "If you miss this one, you won't have it."

Tang Kexin made a decision.

"It seems that I shouldn't kill you now. You have no power to fight back, and it's easy to get rid of you."

Chen Lin smiled, "Since it's so easy, why rush?"

Tang Kexin finally said: "I promise to be your witness."

The crisis was resolved again, and Chen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.At this moment, the stomach rumbled untimely.The conversation just now and the tense atmosphere made his hunger and fatigue reach the peak after relaxing his nerves.

Hearing this voice, Tang Kexin looked at the cold food on the table.

"Want to warm you up?"

"Grateful."

The two ghosts returned to their usual way of getting along again, Tang Kexin was cooking, and Chen Lin sat aside and waited.

"What is this?" Tang Kexin asked when he saw the book in his hand.

Chen Lin held it up and smiled. "There is an exam tomorrow." He said, "I suddenly wondered what the youngest's face would look like if I passed all the exams. Do you want to do me a favor?"

Tang Kexin said, "It can be considered."

This is Chen Lin's new beginning in the underground world. He has made an alliance with a monster.
