The Taste of Ghosts in the World

A beam of white light peeked out faintly from the water, flickering on and off. After careful inspection, it was discovered that there was something repeatedly passing through the beam of light, tumbling in the water and making waves.

The line of sight gradually dives, from the surface of the water to the underwater, there are tiny algae and tiny aquatic organisms floating in that beam of light, going down along it, and down...

There seems to be a black shadow entrenched at the bottom of the water, it is very huge, it is moving slowly, but it is not clear what it is.

The line of sight gradually approached it, closer... and a little closer...

It's almost clear...

There was a sudden shaking, and a series of bubbles rose from the water. Qi Mu opened his eyes and saw Feng Baisui standing in front of the bed, holding a cup in his hand.

"Dreaming again? You are still moving around with your eyes closed."

Qi Mu sat up in a daze, "I remember, when I was in the illusion, I seemed to see something in Longhu ten years ago, and I don't know if it's a real memory or a fake..."

"Don't worry about it, just sleep after drinking." Feng Baisui handed him the water glass, while helping him wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

Qi Mu collected himself, finished drinking the water, and lay down again.

With a sound of "pa--", the desk lamp was turned off.

The summer sun is still so venomous, and the sun shines on the white stone floor so hard that people can't open their eyes.Qi Mu walked out of the supermarket with the bag in his hand, and immediately felt a burst of burning on the top of his head. He looked at Feng Baisui in a blink of an eye, but the latter looked cool, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

Angrily thinking about stepping on him, the phone rang suddenly, Qi Mu quickly switched the bag from his right hand to his left, the combined weight of the two bags seemed a bit strenuous, Feng Baisui floated to his side in good time, without a trace share a bit.

When he picked up the phone, Xiaomei's voice came out from the receiver, and he suddenly felt a headache. He couldn't remember how many times she called. Every time he called, he always asked about Hu Yaohui's whereabouts, and Qi Mu had no choice but to tell her again and again. have no idea.

Of course the answer was the same this time.

Xiaomei looked very disappointed, but she didn't hang up the phone right away. After a pause, she asked uncertainly: "Qi Mu...you will also look for him together, right?"

Qi Mu sighed softly, "...I will try my best."

He really couldn't give Xiaomei the answer she wanted, how could he know something that even the police didn't know.Besides, Hu Yaohui once attacked him, and he didn't tell Xiaomei about it. Even if he did, that silly girl would desperately find a reason to defend her boyfriend.

Even he himself didn't quite know what kind of relationship he had with Hu Yaohui now.

Putting away the phone, Qi Mu realized that Feng Baisui was frowning, curling his fingers against his temples, and couldn't help asking, "Tinnitus again?"

Feng Baisui nodded, "It's getting worse recently."

"Do you want to go to the hospital?" Qi Mu blurted out, and then realized that what he said was wrong, so he had to say again: "Or go and see the old man?"

"Need not."

Qi Mu was still about to say something, when he saw a large group of people swarming in front of him, a young man was surrounded by them, and there was someone with a video camera and a microphone next to him, probably filming TV.

Passing by the crowd, I heard some onlookers discussing: "What is this for?"

"It's probably some location program. I seem to have seen that boy, in a mystery program..."

"I also remembered, is it the episode of 'Yin Yang Eye'? Are you still recording?"

"It is said that the ratings are very good..."

Hearing the familiar term, Qi Mu glanced back subconsciously, and caught a glimpse of half of the boy's face in the middle, the rest was blocked by the camera.

"What are you looking at?" Feng Baisui asked him.

"It's nothing." Qi Mu turned around, "Your tinnitus, you really don't need to look at it?"

"No, just occasionally."

A few days later, Qi Mu and Feng Baisui were walking home when a few boys who looked like students walked up to them, discussing something excitedly, and when they got closer, they realized that they were saying "Damn" topic of.

Why is this everywhere lately?Thinking about it, Qi Mu glanced at those boys, and found that the pale-faced one walking in the middle seemed familiar.

When did you see it?

After being puzzled for a while, I suddenly remembered that it was the boy who filmed the "Yin Yang Eye" program a few days ago.

When passing by, Qi Mu bumped into them accidentally, the other party stopped and looked at him, Qi Mu casually said "I'm sorry", but the boy said instead: "It's my fault, I'm always surrounded by terrible A ghost, so I can’t concentrate on walking.”

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, but he noticed that standing behind them was a person who didn't look like a living person.

The boy's companions were ignorant, and they continued, "That's right! He has yin and yang eyes!"

Another said: "He can see ghosts all the time, super cool! Just be careful, don't get caught by ghosts!"

The boy turned his face away, and said flatly: "How can someone who can't see feel the feeling of never being able to find peace..."

After speaking, he took the lead to leave, calling his companion, "Let's go."

A few people hurried to follow, Qi Mu looked at the ghost who stayed where he was, and asked him, "Why are you following him?"

"Which him?"

"The boy who just passed by." Qi Mu pointed to the front.

"Who is he? I don't know him."

Qi Mu was puzzled: "Then what are you doing here?"

"Is it okay to pass by?" The ghost looked at him inexplicably, turned around and floated away.

"..."

Qi Mu stood for a while, then walked back muttering: "It seems he can't see."

"Disappointed?" Feng Baisui asked beside him.

Qi Mu shook his head, and suddenly thought of a question, "He also claims to have 'yin and yang eyes', will he be killed?"

Feng Baisui was silent for a while, and then said: "Killed by Hu Yaohui?"

"...you suspect Hu Yaohui?"

Feng Baisui raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Didn't you doubt it?"

"..."

Qi Mu was speechless. He had indeed suspected it, and the police should have suspected it too. Only Xiaomei would think that the reason the police came to question him was because Hu Yaohui might have been killed.

"Does that Hu Yaohui know that you can see?" Feng Baisui asked.

Qi Mu thought about it carefully, "I seem to know it? I haven't learned to hide it deliberately in elementary school, so I should have told him."

Feng Baisui curled his lips, "There is also a motive."

Then he warned Qi Mu: "The next time you see Hu Yaohui, don't think that he is still your silly elementary school classmate."

"..."

"If the murderer is really him and killed so many people, you must be the one he wants to kill the most."

"It turns out that someone hates me so much that they want to kill me." Qi Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, glanced behind him out of the corner of his eyes, and whispered to Feng Baisui, "Someone is following."

Feng Baisui turned around and looked, "It's the one just now."

"Which one? Human or ghost?"

"people."

"Yin-yang eyes?"

"Ah."

Seeing that he was almost home, Qi Mu stopped, turned around, and asked the boy behind him, "Why are you following me?"

The boy was taken aback. He obviously didn't expect him to turn around suddenly, but he still said stubbornly, "How do you know I'm following you?"

"Then who are you following?"

"I...I can't live in this community?!"

"Okay." Qi Mu made a "please" gesture, "Then you go in first, I still want to take a stroll outside."

"I...I..." The boy faltered, "I also want to go outside."

Qi Mu laughed, and said softly: "What do you want to do, just say it."

The boy lowered his eyes, pondered for a long time before asking in a low voice, "You can see, right?"

"See what?"

"……ghost."

Qi Mu was still thinking about how to answer this question, so he heard him say again: "Just now I saw you talking alone, but there was no one else around, so I wondered if you could see."

"Actually... I prefer talking to myself."

Seeing that he didn't admit it, the boy became a little anxious, "I know someone can see it! My grandfather could see it before! But...I can't see it..."

"Oh?" Qi Mu didn't expect him to admit that he was lying so quickly, "Then why do you keep hiding it?"

The boy lowered his head in embarrassment, "Everyone is very powerful, compared to me, I am too ordinary, I can't do anything... If I don't say that I have 'yin and yang eyes', no one will talk to me at all..."

"Then do you feel better after talking about it?"

He hesitated for a while, then shook his head lightly, "No... I want to emphasize that I can see at any time, pretending to be able to see, obviously I didn't see anything, but I still have to put on a troubled expression, so tired... ..."

"Don't talk about that!" The boy raised his head and looked at Qi Mu, "I just want to ask you, what does it feel like to see a ghost? Is it scary?"

"Not too scary."

"Is that fun?"

"...It's not very fun either."

"But it still sounds so cool!" He had an envious expression on his face, his slightly rosy cheeks were completely different from his previous pale appearance.

Qi Mu shook his head, "It's not that cool, some people actually don't want this ability, and even hate it."

"What about you? Do you hate it too?"

"Me?" Qi Mu looked at Feng Baisui and smiled faintly, "It's not annoying."

"That's what you like?"

"I don't really like it either..."

……

"Come and sit at my house?"

Having reached the door, Qi Mu invited him.

"No, thank you!" Before the voice finished, the boy had already run away.

Qi Mu smiled, opened the door and went in.

It was the emerald green lake again, and the huge monster rolling among the waves could be vaguely seen, splashing water and splashing in all directions.

The sky was as black as ink, low and heavy, making people breathless, and suddenly a white light flashed, "Boom--" There was a deafening thunder.

Qi Mu woke up sweating profusely, panting, and found that Feng Baisui hadn't slept either, and was sitting beside him, covering his ears with his hands.

Fumbling to turn on the light, Qi Mu took his hand away and asked, "What's the matter? Tinnitus again?"

Feng Baisui frowned and didn't speak, but his expression was obviously tacit.

Seeing him clenching his teeth, the veins burst out, Qi Mu looked anxious, and vaguely felt that there was some connection between these things, the recurring dreams, Feng Baisui's tinnitus, it didn't seem to happen by accident, it must be something... there must be something...

He jumped out of bed and dressed quickly.

Feng Baisui also floated down, "It's midnight, what are you doing?"

Qi Mu hesitated for half a minute, then gritted his teeth, pulled him up and walked towards the door.

"Go to Longhu!"
