I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

Jiang Miao propped himself against the wall, trying to get closer to Qichi, but just as he took a step, his knees gave way and he knelt on the ground.

The dull pain in his body still hasn't subsided, Jiang Xiao frowned and covered his chest, looked up at Qichi again, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Xiao Hua, what's wrong?"

Looking at the pale Jiang Miao, Qi Chi's expression showed a trace of trance, and as the hostility gradually receded, his eyes regained their clarity.

"Jiang Miao." Qi Chi quickly walked towards Jiang Miao, helped him sit aside, and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

"I just wanted to ask." Jiang Xiao grinned, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Xi Chi nodded slightly.

"Your move just now is really powerful. It looks like you are about to become a Buddha." Jiang Xiao supported Qichi and stood up, reaching into his pocket to feel for a cigarette, "But who is the Buddha?" It will carry such a strong killing spirit, right?"

Qichi paused while helping Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao's eyes darkened, and after a while, he returned to his usual indifference: "But no matter what kind of technique he uses, the problem is finally solved."

"Brother Jiang Miao!"

Jiang Miao turned his head in response, and saw Xiao Guitong standing not far away, as if he wanted to come but dared not come.

Jiang Miao beckoned at it, Gui Tong lowered his head shyly and moved to Jiang Miao, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Why, have you learned how to love others?"

"No! I'm just afraid that if something happens to you, no one will send me to reincarnate!" Xiao Guitong looked away awkwardly.

"Little brat's mouth is really tough." Jiang Miao couldn't help reaching out and pinching Guitong's face, "Let's go, it's almost dawn, I'll take you to Goda Temple."

"But your injury...is it alright?" Guitong asked hesitantly.

"Small matter." Jiang Miao looked back at Qi Chi, the corners of his mouth raised, "Isn't there a boss covering this?"

Hearing this, Guitong looked at Qichi cautiously, and asked timidly, "Gapan, is he really dead now?"

"died."

There was a gleam in Guitong's eyes: "No one will treat us like this again, right?"

Xichi remained silent, while Jiang Miao patted Guitong's head and said, "Go out first, it stinks to death. Oh yes, you'd better go back to the lotus seeds first, the sun is about to come out."

……

The sky was pale, and after a night of heavy rain, the air was filled with the smell of green grass.

With a cigarette in his hand, Jiang Miao walked among the weeds and gravel. If it wasn't for the dull pain in his body, he even felt that the experience of life and death that night was like a nightmare.

As he walked, he thought to himself, if the Rakshasa in the dry land had already been backlashed by the raised imps, why did the villagers of Isana obey his will and hide him here, trying to resurrect him?

Jiang Xiaowei narrowed his eyes and put the cigarette in his mouth.Unless the villagers still ask for Gapan, what exactly are they asking for?

"Jiang Miao."

Qi Chi's voice interrupted Jiang Miao's train of thought. He looked up and saw a village outside the back door of the courtyard, and it was either Isana or somewhere else.

Jiang Miao bit the cigarette holder: "And this resort is just in front of Isana..."

"Want to go?" Qi Chi asked calmly.

Jiang Xiao sighed lightly, and looked ahead: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go if I don't want to."

Following his words, a large number of villagers were rushing towards them from the entrance of Isana's village.The faces of the villagers were angry, and they shouted excitedly from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiao and Qi Chi were surrounded by Isana's villagers.All of a sudden, noisy noises spread into Jiang Xiao's ears from all directions, and he knew it was not a good word.

Jiang Miao nudged Qichi with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "What are they shouting for?"

After carefully distinguishing, Xichi said: "They said that we killed Gapan, cut off their money, and killed us both."

"What?" Jiang Miao laughed, "What kind of money?"

"Yin card, Gapan promised them that he would give them a negative card on the day of resurrection."

Jiang Xiao was stunned, looking at the villagers with disbelief in his eyes.

"In the past, those people sold their children to Gapan to make bad cards and be little ghosts. Now they want to get bad cards and raise little ghosts to help them make money... It really shocked me."

He let out a long breath: "Brother Xiaohua, I only now understand that sentence, what does it mean that hell is empty and demons are in the world."

"I'm afraid you can't control the affairs of Yangjian." Qi Chi put Jiang Xiao on the shoulder, "Let's find a way to leave first."

Jiang Miao's hand holding the whip trembled violently, he tried his best to suppress his anger, gritted his teeth and nodded.

After emitting a beam of light, the silver whip returned to Jiang Miao's wrist.

"Tool man." Jiang Miao called out vigorously, "I leave this place to you."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Qichi past him and ran away.

Seeing that the two were about to escape, the villagers yelled and raised their hoe and sickle to attack them. At the same time, the little paper figurines jumped up and quickly became several, blocking the villagers one by one , make the appearance of fighting.

They dodged and jumped to the left, blocking the successive attacks of the villagers, but did not substantially hurt them.

Suddenly, a red-eyed villager let out an angry roar, raised his harpoon and thrust it straight at Jiang Miao's chest.The little paper man was shocked when he saw this, and hurried forward.But before it arrived, the blood lotus seed in Qichi's arms blocked the harpoon first.

With a shattering sound, the blood lotus seeds emitted a coquettish red light.The ghost boy jumped out and grabbed the harpoon.

The villagers were shocked immediately.

With a roar, Guitong threw the villagers out together with the harpoon.It jumped into the air, releasing a thick black mist from its body.The faces of countless distorted babies in the black mist began to cry loudly, and the ghost boy's pupils turned faster and faster, and the black mist swept into the villagers in a blink of an eye, trapping them.

"Don't—!" Jiang Miao hurriedly stopped, looked at Guitong and slowly shook his head, tried to slow down his voice, and persuaded, "You are only one step away from reincarnation, be obedient, don't do stupid things."

"Reincarnation? Let these people become my parents again?" Guitong looked at the terrified villagers and smiled desperately, "How else do you want me to believe them?"

"No, I promise they won't be your parents!" Jiang Miao hurriedly said.

"No need..." Guitong lowered his head, his small shoulders trembling violently, and murmured, "Don't you understand? Even without Gapan, Isana is still the original Isana..."

There was strong hatred in Guitong's eyes, and he said word by word: "Now, I just want them to die!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the black mist instantly turned into a tornado and rushed towards the villagers who attacked Jiang Miao just now.

"Ah——!!!" The villagers screamed in fear.

Jiang Miao jumped in front of the villagers and dispersed the black mist with a silver whip.

"stop!"

"Yin Soldier, get out of the way—!" Gui Tong was hysterical.

Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth and looked at Guitong: "If they were just a group of ghosts today, I would definitely not stop you. But they are human!"

"Humans?" Guitong laughed loudly, "Look at how much they look like people!"

"Little devil! If you kill them today, I will definitely not let you go." Jiang Xiao suppressed the infinite turbulent emotions in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice, "Stop, I beg you."

"Brother Jiang Miao..." Guitong took one last look at Jiang Miao and smiled miserably, "I'm sorry."

After it finished speaking, it turned its head to stare at the group of villagers, screamed again, and drove the sharp blade transformed from black mist towards the group of villagers.

"Uh----!!!" Just as the sharp blade was about to pierce the hearts of the villagers, a white-feathered arrow suddenly appeared from behind Jiang Miao, piercing Guitong's body.

The ghost boy let out a shrill scream, and his figure began to flicker in an instant, gradually becoming transparent.

Jiang Miao turned his head in disbelief, only to see a woman with a crossbow running quickly behind him.

"I'm sorry Jiang sir, I'm a little late after finishing my work." The woman walked to Jiang Xiao, looked up at the ghost boy who was disappearing little by little, and introduced herself, "Number 0037, Xiaolu, Thailand Resident Office, nice to meet you."

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Miao, puzzled and asked, "Such a thing that kills people without blinking an eye and doesn't know how to repent, is sent to Goda Temple to practice? Sir Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Miao didn't answer, and stared blankly in the direction of the ghost boy who was already empty, his gaze was distracted.

He sat slumped on the ground, the ghost boy's voice still echoing in his ears for a long time.

"Then I, will I have new clothes to wear and toys to play with?... Will they take me to the playground? Can I ride on Dad's neck...?"

Jiang Miao slowly closed his eyes, and slammed his clenched fists hard on the ground.

The sun came out of the clouds at this time, and the sky was clear.

……

After assisting Xiao Lu to erase the villagers' memories one after another, Jiang Miao turned and left Isana Village without a sound.Qi Chi looked at Jiang Miao's back silently, got up and followed.

They came to a playground, a little girl licked a lollipop, and stretched out her chubby little hand to her father.

"Khun Po (Thai: Papa)..."

The man lifted the little girl high and sat on his neck.The father and daughter got into the compartment of the Ferris wheel talking and laughing.

The Ferris wheel rose slowly, making a "squeak-squeak-" sound.

Jiang Miao looked up at the Ferris wheel, then gently said to Qi Chi behind him, "Can that lotus seed be restored?"

Xi Chi nodded and stretched out his palm.

A broken blood lotus seed emitted a fluorescent beam, and it returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

"Can you bring it to me?"

"it is good."

Jiang Miao took the lotus seed, dug a hole in the flower bed next to the Ferris wheel, and buried it carefully.

"Brother Xiao Hua..." Jiang Xiao sighed lightly, and lowered his head while burying himself in the soil, and asked, "If those people knew that there are really eighteen floors of hell, do you think they would still do that?"

The Ferris wheel slowly reached the top.

……

The next day after that, Jiang Xiao and Qi Chi returned to the Underworld Garden.From a long distance, I saw Xiaobao chasing his long tail, playing and waiting at the gate of Qichi's house.

"Dadbi—!" Xiaobao happily crawled towards Xichi when he saw Qichi.Xichi reached out and hugged Xiaobao in his arms.

Xiao Bao widened his eyes, looked at Jiang Xiao, and asked in a waxy voice, "Has my brother left already?"

Jiang Xiao smiled: "Yeah."

Xiaobao showed a happy smile, and kept shouting: "That's great—! That's great—! Then he must have parents who love him!"

Jiang Xiao said goodbye: "Yes."

"Yeah!!!" Little Treasure patted his paws, jumped off Qichi, straightened his back and said, "Then Little Treasure should go too!"

"Have you said goodbye to your parents?" Jiang Xiao asked.

"Enen! I promised my mother that I will be her child in the next life!" Xiaobao rubbed his nose proudly.

Jiang Miao nodded, "Okay."

The soft light began to linger around Xiaobao. In the incomparably warm halo, Jiang Miao saw that Xiaobao gradually lost his tail and became a healthy child again.

"Brother Jiang Miao, goodbye!"

In the light and shadow, Xiaobao waved vigorously at Jiang Xiao, turned his head and ran into the early morning sunshine...
