[Tanhua Modern] Blackening cannot always save the world

"Ayi, are you alright?" Lou Yi looked at the man who was rushing in front of him, with a suit on his hands, sweat on his forehead, with a worried and anxious expression on his face.

Lou Yi was in a daze.

"I believe that Bai Yu's matter has nothing to do with you, how can they doubt you?" Seeing that he didn't speak, the man said angrily:

"How do these people who eat public meals do things? Ah Yi, don't worry, this matter will not be so simple, whether it is Bai Yu's hatred or your business..." His eyes There was a twist.

Hearing this, Lou Yi showed a delicate expression, he looked at the man for a long time, and said with a half smile:

"Oh? Is that why you trust me?"

Hearing this question, the man was obviously surprised, but still nodded and said:

"Does it need to be said, even if the whole world doesn't believe you, how can I not believe you?"

Lou Yi laughed out loud, didn't look at him again, didn't say anything, just walked towards the car waiting by the roadside.The driver opened the door for him, and before he went in, he turned his head to look at the person who was still thinking about something, but just looked at it, then turned back and got into the car.The man just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed.

The car was driving steadily on the road, Lou Yi silently looked out the window at the green belt that kept flashing back, his brows were full of condensation.

"Ayi..." The man spoke cautiously.

Lou Yi turned his face blankly, looking at his nervous expression. Slowly, he raised the corners of his lips, showing a very familiar smile to that person. The person was relieved, as if Lou Yi had finally returned to normal. peace of mind.It's just that he didn't see the biting chill in Lou Yi's eyes.

This person's name is Feng Yujing, and Lou Yi took care of him as his younger brother.

My dear brother... Lou Yi sighed inexplicably.He leaned against the back of the leather chair, breathed long and hard, and couldn't help but think of what happened when he died.

That ordinary day was no different from the thousands of days and nights in the past. Although he was always vigilant, it was just that his brother's birthday inevitably relaxed a little bit.

The Lou family started out as a gangster, and even after several generations, the competition in the family has not weakened at all because of the bleaching of their careers, but has become more cruel.

Although he is the only son of the patriarch, he has only received more harsher and crueler training than other adopted children.He didn't have much affection for the man he was supposed to call father, not to mention that man was like him.

Feng Yujing is also one of the many orphans adopted by Lou's family, but he is the person closest to Lou Yi.It cannot but be said that his non-aggressive appearance played a crucial role. Although they are not related by blood, Lou Yi really regards him as his relative, one of the few relatives in the world.

When he was in school, he protected him. When he did something wrong, he was beaten for him and covered it up for him. He wanted to do business. He didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to support him, introduce his relationship to him, what would he do? He pampered him.He asked himself that there was nothing wrong with him, he had always been kind to the people he cared about, luckily there were not many people he cared about.

It's just such a person who drugged him when he was unprepared, and forced him to transfer all his property to him with others.His good brother imprisoned him for more than half a month. If he hadn't died in an inexplicable fire later, he didn't know how long those days would last.

He clearly remembered the feeling of the tongue of fire licking the flesh, and he still carried the flames in hell... Later, he was thrown into the ghost realm because of a strangely shaped mark on his forehead. They said, this is Devil's mark.

For evil spirits, the punishment in the underworld is ten thousand times more severe than that in the human world. The way of refining ghosts is a hell within hell. Apart from bloody and cold, he has no other impression.

He doesn't know how many years he has been in the practice of ghosts, there is no concept of time, no morning, evening, day and night, let alone the stars, the moon, and the sun.There was only one round of blood-red balls, and it rained blood every once in a while. He didn't know how many times he had been drenched in such stinky blood rain.

Every moment he is ready to fight, every moment he is on the alert.He formed alliances with other evil spirits, betrayed, formed alliances and betrayed again, and he learned a lot and lost a lot in those endless years......

His fierce reputation in the practice of ghosts was getting bigger and bigger, so he had more time to recall the past.It's just that at the beginning, he found that his memory was much blurred.But there is some hatred, just like the flame he carried when he died, as long as he still exists, it will exist.

In the memory he picked up slowly, there was Feng Yujing's slightly obsessed and crazy eyes at that time. His fingers slid across the mark he carved on his forehead, and he felt disgusted. Listening to him muttering to himself:

"Brother, I have always thought that what you said was very true. You said that only the strong can get what they want... I want you, in this life, in the next life, and in the next life, The next life after life will be mine..."

--------

The way of refining ghosts has existed since Hongmeng, and he was the first evil ghost to escape. In order to avoid being hunted down, he accidentally smashed the compass by the Styx River. Styx.

Waking up again, time and space are reversed, and nothing has happened yet.

But his soul has long been soaked in the bloody coldness of refining ghosts.

When he returned to the human world, the first thing to do was to avoid the pursuit of ghosts, because no matter whether he was wronged or not, Lou Yi was already a ghost.

It took him a whole month to adapt himself to the quiet life in the world, there was no rain of blood, no ghosts, no endless escapes, he had flesh and blood, and he was still a human being.

Standing in the sun, he couldn't help laughing.As long as he pretends well, he can always be a stable person like this, and the life he has imagined countless times is within reach, so no matter how much he hates Feng Yujing and his accomplices in his heart, he will not just because of wanting revenge And ruined his peace at this time......

After all, the future is long.

"Yi, what are you thinking?"

Lou Yi glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and said lightly:

"I was wondering if you could stop calling me that."

Feng Yujing froze, innocent and at a loss:

"I...I...then what do you like me to call you..."

Lou Yi glanced at him. He didn't know when he stopped calling him elder brother. He smiled and said:

"I'm kidding, I'm so grown up and so easily scared."

Feng Yujing wrinkled his nose and said angrily:

"You are the one who likes to joke when you are an adult."

His smiling face was familiar yet unfamiliar, he shook his head slightly, and couldn't help saying:

"I was wondering, would a person who suddenly realized that he had been stupid in the past, be smarter in the next life?"

Feng Yujing's smile froze, his eyes flickered, he was surprised and a little uneasy:

"It should be, Yi... Who are you talking about?"

"That kid Qin Luo chased his little girlfriend desperately before, but now he finally blows it off. Will he be smarter in the future?"

A big stone fell to Feng Yujing's heart, and he said with a smile:

"That's not sure. He didn't say that he wanted to change his career to become a psychologist. He probably thought that he would see through everything after one emotional injury, so he just lied to himself."

A cold light flashed in Lou Yi's eyes, and he changed the topic with a slight smile:

"How is the company doing recently?"

"It's all good, but Ah Yi, why did you move away? You didn't tell me where you moved. Don't you bother me and don't want to live with me... If I have Just say what's wrong, and I'll definitely change it! Move back, you're not here, I feel..." He muttered, with a sad expression on his face.

Lou Yi stopped looking at him, and said with a light sigh of relief:

"I have always regarded you as my own brother..."

"Me too! You have always been my most important person!" Before he could finish speaking, Feng Yujing said excitedly.

He has been sensitive to Lou Yi's weirdness these days, and has been wondering if he has discovered something, so even if he doesn't want to be his younger brother, he is willing to rely on him in this capacity, but now he doesn't even have this opportunity. not to him.

Although Lou Yi didn't take the initiative to tell him, he didn't deliberately hide it either. He still found out that he has now moved into an old community.He was very puzzled, but because he didn't dare to tell Lou Yi that he was investigating him, he kept suppressing it, not to mention that he didn't find out that Lou Yi had any intimate contacts with anyone, which made him feel relieved.

"What about Bai Yu? He has always liked you very much." Lou Yi smiled, like a good brother teasing his younger brother.He was very good at disguising before, and he became even better at it after he came back in this life. No one could see that he actually felt disgusted even by looking at Feng Yujing.

"I...I just treat him as an ordinary friend," Feng Yujing blushed and quickly explained:

"I will try my best to find out the murderer who killed him, and I will repay his feelings for me."

Lou Yi's expression suddenly became indifferent, and he turned his head to look out of the window, suddenly he saw a jade shop on the side of the street, and shouted:

"Old Wang, stop!"

Feng Yujing didn't understand why, but Lou Yi just looked at him and said indifferently:

"I'll just go back by myself, you go first."

Feng Yujing subconsciously reached out to stop him, but his fingertips didn't even wipe the corner of his clothes, and he just stared blankly at his back going away.

A few days later, one morning, a man in a suit and leather shoes knocked on a house in an old residential building.

The person who opened the door was a handsome man with cold eyebrows. He looked at the man with a decent smile in front of him, frowned slightly, and said coldly:

"It is you."

Han Junqing nodded and said:

"Can I come in and sit down?"

"What if I say no?"

Han Junqing was not embarrassed by being rejected, but said:

"What if I have the whereabouts of what you're looking for?"

A dark light flashed in Lou Yi's eyes, and then he turned sideways to let him in.

"You investigate me?"

Han Junqing looked at this simple and narrow house, and when he heard Lou Yi's words, he said with a smile:

"That's because Mr. Lou didn't cover up."

Lou Yi raised his eyebrows, sat on the dilapidated sofa, and didn't seem to be entertaining guests at all.

Han Junqing didn't take it seriously, and said bluntly:

"I know that Mr. Lou is not an ordinary person."

"Only relying on the words of that magic stick?" Lou Yi was a little careless.

Han Junqing shook his head. Although it was true, he still did a lot of preparation work.

"Seventeen days ago, I narrowly escaped from the long-abandoned house on the outskirts of the city."

Seeing Lou Yi's slightly surprised eyes, he sneered a bit, and he understood the meaning of the eyes: How could a guy like you escape?

"I also find it unbelievable, but I did survive. And I think it's not luck that I'm still here. I was rescued by someone...or not... gone."

Lou Yi looked at him, his expression unchanged.

Han Junqing sighed and said:

"I think there may be more than one ghost in the house."

This conclusion is quite reasonable.....

"What does that have to do with me?"

"I know that Mr. Lou is very capable, but I don't know how big it is, but for this life-saving grace, I still want to work hard.

I also know that I am a soft-spoken person, but if you are looking for good jade, I dare not guarantee that there must be it, but I found a lot of ancient jade in a room there, some of them gave me a very bad feeling something..." He frowned and continued:

"I don't know the purpose of your looking for these things, but there may be what you are looking for inside."

Lou Yi was silent, tapping rhythmically with his fingertips on the sofa under his hand, this was his movement when he was thinking.

"It's just a possibility."

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch a tiger cub? How could Mr. Lou not understand?"

Lou Yi smiled, and it was that kind of smile full of metallic coldness:

"What do you want me to do?"

There is no free lunch in the world, even if it is just news.

Han Junqing was silent for a while, then said hoarsely:

"If possible... I hope you can help the other ghost inside get relief..."

He's referring to the guy who saved his life, even though he doesn't know who he is.

According to folklore, there are several reasons why people turn into ghosts and wander around the world after death. One is that they have too much obsession in life, so they can easily become ghosts;

He didn't know which one he was, but no matter which one he was, it was still painful and pitiful......

"I won't overdo it, I can't guarantee it."

Han Junqing was dumb, and nodded heavily:

"But, please, please do your best."

Lou Yi stood in front of the window and looked at Han Junqing's leaving back. The sunlight hit his face through the old trees in the yard and the window of his house. The light and shadow mottled his cold face, giving off a nostalgic warmth.

--------

He lives here because the place is small but full of people.

Every day at dawn, he could hear the old man sweeping the floor Wu humming and sweeping... There was also the footsteps of an aunt surnamed Huang upstairs, and then he walked around the same place after a while. The voice ran upstairs.

He could smell the hot aroma of soy milk from the steamed buns she was carrying, and he could hear the mother's loud voice when some children went to school, repeating it every day to remind them to remember to eat breakfast and study hard.

In the afternoon, you will hear some old men and women chatting together. If you are free, you will gather a table of mahjong and play a game of chess. Then before the chess is finished, you will hear your wife lying on the window sill. With a loud voice, he called them to come back for dinner, and they either cursed or shouted back, or came with a happy response.

At this time, this small place will be filled with the aroma of stewing soup or cooking...

He never knew before that there could be such a lively place in the world. Even if he went back to a home with only one person and listened to the hustle and bustle outside, he would feel much better...... so much People, let him feel in a trance that he is actually the same as them.

"Boom boom boom!"

When Lou Yi opened the door, he saw Aunt Huang who lived upstairs holding a jet-black casserole. Seeing his indifferent expression, Aunt Huang smiled awkwardly, and then handed him the pot in her hand:

"Mr. Lou, you haven't eaten yet. Today, we have stewed old duck soup at home. Uh...would you like to try it? Well...just take it as a thank you for helping that brat in my family last time... "

Kan Louyi took the pot, Aunt Huang rubbed her hands on the greasy yellow apron, and said with a smile:

"Then I'll go up first. Just finish your meal at the door, and I'll collect it."

Lou Yi suddenly stopped her:

"Thank you.......It was just a trivial matter last time, so you don't need to come here on purpose."

Seeing him responding to her, Aunt Huang's smile became more gentle and natural, and she waved her hands again and again and said:

"No thanks, no thanks, it's just a pot of soup, everyone upstairs and downstairs...that kid in my family admires you, if you don't mind, you can come up and join our family from time to time, although it's not a good dish , but it is always inconvenient for you, a big man, to eat or something."

Lou Yi's lips softened, and he nodded silently.Only then did Aunt Huang go upstairs happily, thinking:

What a nice guy, handsome and polite, but a little too shy......
