After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

Chen Yanyan's voice was clear when he was calm, but now when he screamed, it almost pierced people's eardrums.

The door of the ward was wide open, and anyone outside could hear the slightest movement. When she yelled like this, the whole floor might have been disturbed.

However, Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian didn't respond, they didn't try to escape, didn't try to close the door right away, and didn't try to comfort her.He didn't even raise his eyebrows.

No one came in from outside, both nurses and patients were doing their own things. A young man with a broken leg walked past the door with a cane, without even looking inside the room.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier separating the room.

Chen Yanyan suddenly realized something, and shut his mouth firmly.

Although she didn't touch ghosts after changing her name, the basic principle is still clear: Lu Yingjiu was in front of her just now, and she didn't take out a talisman, nor did she hold a magic weapon.In other words, this enchantment that fell at an unknown time is...

Her eyes glanced over Lu Yingjiu's shoulder and landed on Jing Xian.

Jing Xian casually leaned against the door and smiled at her, that smile was evil and handsome, but there was no smile in his black eyes.Looking at such a pair of eyes, Chen Yanyan's teeth began to chatter unconsciously, and his intuition screamed.

——Did this person want to kill me just now?

This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and then she forcibly suppressed it because it was too outrageous.Looking at Jing Xian again, no matter how you look at it, you feel that there is some kind of monster lurking under that impeccable face.

Chen Yanyan's hands and feet were cold, and a shadow suddenly fell in front of his eyes.

It was Lu Yingjiu who picked up the coat on the bedside and put it on her body: "We didn't see anything, you tidy up your clothes. Don't do this in the future."

Chen Yanyan gritted his teeth, and hastily tore off his clothes: "...What on earth are you here for? Especially this Mr. Lu Yingjiu, I have seen your photo and know that you are a suspect. Are you afraid of the clues back then? Exposed, come to kill and silence?"

Lu Yingjiu pulled up a chair and sat down.

His demeanor is completely different from Jing Xian's, he is too gentle and restrained, and looks very close.He said: "If I want to kill people and silence you, you have already rotted in some wilderness. No one will find you, and I will not leave any traces."

The tone is relaxed.

He wasn't trying to convince Chen Yanyan: this was just a very simple statement, because it was a fact, so it didn't matter whether others believed it or not.

Chen Yanyan looked at the two people in front of him again, and finally realized belatedly: These two people are not normal people.

Lu Yingjiu said: "I just want to know about the situation at that time. There are still doubts about this case, so I won't go around. I saw your family turned into ghosts in the bar where the crime happened. Your grandma Chen Minlan , also appeared in the community near the bar."

Chen Yanyan's eyes widened.

Lu Yingjiu continued: "Chen Minlan was pestering a waiter at the bar. Maybe the waiter had some clues. After that, she even took the initiative to come to me—this is also an important reason why I want to investigate."

Chen Yanyan was really astonished. Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian were reflected in his clear eyes.After a long time, she finally said, "Did they... say anything?"

"No." Lu Yingjiu shook his head, "Unfortunately, they lost their sanity and couldn't communicate."

"Then, what about the waiter?"

"He didn't remember it." Lu Yingjiu concealed the part where Jin Xiaoyang had passed away.

Chen Yanyan lowered his eyes.

The slenderness of her body was even heavier, almost pitiful, and the burden brought by her life experience seemed to climb up her back in an instant.For a girl that young, with good looks, it's very endearing when she does this - even though 2 minutes ago, she was hysterical like a madman.

Jing Xian got up and went to the corridor to get a glass of water.He mixed the hot and cold water very carefully, making sure that the temperature in his palm was moderate, then returned to the room with the glass of water and walked to the bed.

Chen Yanyan looked up, looked at him, and whispered, "Thank you..."

Jing Xian handed the water to Lu Yingjiu: "Drink slowly, be careful not to burn it."

Chen Yanyan: "..."

Lu Yingjiu took a sip, put it in front of the bed, and continued to talk to Chen Yanyan: "The car accident that broke your bone wasn't an accident, right? I can still feel that you are entangled with Yin Qi. And you For a few months, I went to the hospital very frequently, sometimes because of a sprained foot, sometimes because of various minor illnesses, no matter how I looked at it, I was haunted by ghosts."

These materials were all written in the files that Chen Xiaoling gave him, and he had already read them on the way here.

Chen Yanyan asked, "Can you feel the yin energy on my body?"

She had seen several ghost exorcists before, and they couldn't even notice it, unlike Lu Yingjiu, who could tell at a glance.

"Well." Lu Yingjiu said, "And I can see that it has been with you for many years... Let me think about it, 5 years? Or 6 years? It was not strong enough before, and some factors stimulated it. If you let it go, your life is likely to be in danger. This time it is your wrist, and the next time it is crushed, it may be your head."

Chen Yanyan's hands trembled.

Lu Yingjiu leaned forward slightly, and continued: "Although I don't know why, you didn't mean to ask the Chen family for help—maybe it was because you didn't want to contact them, or maybe you didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, no matter what So, my proposal is this: I'll help you get rid of this ghost, and you tell me the details of the year. I don't like to expose people's scars, and I will never ask more questions except for the case itself."

Chen Yanyan said subconsciously: "It's the same to find other powerful ghost exorcists, it doesn't have to be you."

"You can try it." Lu Yingjiu smiled, "But do you dare to bet?"

If you win the bet, you will keep the secret of the year. If you lose the bet, you will lose your life.

Chen Yanyan glanced at his left hand, the painkiller had worn off, and the wound was aching slightly.When she closed her eyes again, the roaring truck that was rushing towards her seemed to be still in front of her eyes.Her bicycle was deformed by the collision, and she flew five or six meters away. When she landed heavily, a strong smell of blood rose from her throat. In her blurred vision, she could only see the wheels of the bicycle turning slowly towards the air.The surrounding noise was far away, as if someone was shouting through deep water: "Something went wrong—!"

At that moment, she really thought she was dead.

Indeed, as the doctor said, this time it was her fate.

She had heard the name of Lu Yingjiu many times, and asking him to exorcise ghosts was an opportunity that no one else could ask for.

She bit her lips: "...But," she glanced at Jing Xian quickly, hesitated for a long time before speaking, her voice was thin, "I, I don't know if you are the murderer... In case you What if it's a bad guy..."

Lu Yingjiu said: "If I were the murderer, would I still have to spend a lot of time to ask you for details? I should be the one who knows the case best. When you first saw me, you didn't even recognize me." , Back then, I wasn't a serious suspect at all, didn't you know this best?"

There was a convincing power to his voice.

Anyone who has inquired about him a little will know that he had an excellent reputation when he was the chief, and he is the conscience of the ghost exorcist world: if he promises to protect the client, then nothing will happen to the client; if he promises to find the ghost, then the ghost's family All sizes will be pulled out by the roots.Coupled with the seductive and friendly appearance and quiet temperament, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with "wrong intentions".

Chen Yanyan was silent for a long time.

It was hard to see what kind of psychological struggle she was having, but her expression gradually softened when she looked at Lu Yingjiu.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let me tell you. Actually, the ghost on me is the ghost that killed my family back then..."

Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian looked at each other.

Chen Yanyan clenched his hands: "At the time, my classmates and I said we wanted to play a game of courage, so we found an abandoned building called 'Four-hole Slaughterhouse' and played the four-corner game. You should know the rules."

Lu Yingjiu nodded.

He lowered his head and searched. The Sidong Slaughterhouse was between Lujiang City and Yuantai City. There was no village or shop behind it. He didn't know how those little kids got there.

Chen Yanyan continued: "As we were playing, we realized that something was wrong. It seemed that there was really an extra person among us. We were very scared and left immediately. Then, I took a taxi and went to KTV to celebrate my brother's birthday. I didn't expect, I didn't expect..." She closed her eyes, "I took that ghost with me. You also know what happened next. I was the murderer who killed them... Now it's finally my turn. "

Lu Yingjiu said: "It's not anyone's fault, clarifying doubts and finding out the truth is your best comfort to them."

Chen Yanyan nodded with his eyes closed, took a long breath, and continued: "The four people playing the game are me, my best friend Fan Xin, and our boyfriend. Fan Xin...Fan Xin is here Not long after that, he also passed away due to an accident, and it must have been caused by this ghost. As for the two boys, I didn't contact them afterwards."

She recalled the past.

On that afternoon 6 years ago, boys and girls squeezed into the car, left the sunny campus, and went to the gloomy slaughterhouse together.The old building was silent under the cloud, like a huge monster. They climbed over the rusty iron gate, stepped on knee-high weeds, walked in laughing and joking with each other.

Dark clouds swirled overhead, heavy rain fell from the sky, lightning tore the sky, and the strong wind blew the young man's clothes.No one can think that this is a road of no return.

Lu Yingjiu wrote down these three names and sent them to Chen Xiaoling.

If Chen Yanyan was in danger, it might be the same for those two boys.

"So," Chen Yanyan looked at him, "Can you kill it?"

Her gaze swept over Jing Xian again - the handsome man was standing behind Lu Yingjiu, unlike Lu Yingjiu who was listening carefully, his expression was nonchalant, as if he was not interested in her story, and even disdainful Show false concern.He went to fill another glass of water, held it in his hand and drank it slowly, his eyes were on Lu Yingjiu from the beginning to the end.

Lu Yingjiu thought for a few seconds: "Because the ghosts invited by the supernatural game, it is best to return to the place at that time and then disperse them. To be on the safe side, we are going to the four-hole slaughterhouse."

Chen Yanyan's face paled a little: "Go back?"

"Hmm." Lu Yingjiu nodded, "Things are suspicious. You went to KTV in the evening, and the time to play games is in the afternoon. It is very difficult for supernatural games to really attract ghosts. If you play during the day, the chances are even lower. What's more, this ghost is very powerful, it is simply too cruel... From my personal point of view, it is almost impossible for this to happen."

Chen Yanyan smiled sadly: "That's because we pasted some talisman papers to invite ghosts before playing the game. I was so courageous at the time, and the ghost I wanted to invite was the scariest one. If it was him, do it These are easy things."

"Do you have a name?"

"No, only an official position. You might laugh at me if you say it."

"No." Lu Yingjiu said, "This is a very important clue."

Chen Yanyan's hands gripped the quilt tightly.

She was really scared, she trembled her lips, and finally whispered after a long time: "The one I invited is the King of Ghosts."

"Cough, cough, cough—!" Jing Xian choked on a mouthful of water, and couldn't help laughing.

……

Two minutes later, Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian stood outside the ward.

They were kicked out by angry Chen Yanyan.

The two watched the people coming and going in front of them, speechless for a moment.

After a while, Lu Yingjiu said, "Although I know that's impossible, why are you laughing at others..."

Jing Xian: "...I couldn't hold back all of a sudden."

He really felt that it was outrageous, so he laughed again - the Qingdeng Society said that Lu Yingjiu was a suspect, and the Chen Yanyan said that he was a ghost who killed countless people, and the murder of their relationship was the result of their partnership.

That little girl really dared to say, how could anyone in this world be able to invite him?

He had come to this world once before.

It was the day of Lu Yingjiu's dark wedding.

Jing Xian said: "I was really wrong, don't be angry."

Lu Yingjiu looked at him, that handsome face that surpassed models and was meticulously crafted was full of sincerity - Lu Yingjiu thought to himself, if he was as sincere as Chen Yanyan just now, things would be fine. It can't be like this.

Lu Yingjiu: "...don't be too angry, but you still have to respect others."

Jing Xian promised: "Next time for sure!"

He thought again, although Lu Yingjiu said he wasn't angry, but Black and White Wuchang had told him that when dating, the other party would be duplicity.

If you say you are not angry, you are probably angry.

Say it doesn't matter, it probably does.

So just as Lu Yingjiu tried to clear her mind, she saw Jing Xian and said sincerely: "Don't be angry."

Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

Lu Yingjiu said, "I really don't have...uh..."

Jing Xian took half a step closer, pinned him against the door and hugged him tightly.The strength was still as strong as ever, and Lu Yingjiu thumped in his arms a few times, like a cat being pinned down by a large dog, it didn't splash at all, but instead made a mess of hair.

Lu Yingjiu: "What are you doing again?"

"I was wrong!" Jing Xian said, and hugged him even tighter after speaking.

An old man passing by stared at the two of them, his eyes were extremely complicated, and his face was full of words "You guys are so big", and he seemed to be watching the scene of a "Battle of Love": a remorseful scumbag tried to recover the beauty The old love, and the old love... The beautiful old love Lu Yingjiu raised her head and silently cursed.

After finally struggling out of Jingxian's embrace, Lu Yingjiu supported his forehead and said, "Your way of apologizing is too unique."

"Hugging can bring people a good mood." Jing Xian said with certainty, "Would you like to hug another one?"

Lu Yingjiu: "...don't."

He pushed Jing Xian away and gave another warm hug, and couldn't find a point to refute for a while, thinking that it's fortunate that Jing Xian didn't go up to hug Chen Yanyan just now, otherwise they wouldn't be able to clean up if they jumped into the Yellow River today.

He took a deep breath, turned around and knocked on the door of the ward: "Are we in?"

When the people in the room didn't answer, he gently opened the door.Chen Yanyan was wrapped in a quilt and turned his back not to look at the two of them.

Lu Yingjiu sat down in front of her again and said, "Sorry, he didn't mean anything."

Chen Yanyan didn't speak.

Lu Yingjiu said: "Theoretically speaking, I don't think priests will come to the world at will. Yin and Yang have their own balance. Priests will be greatly restricted when they come to the Yang world, and they will not kill people easily. As for the ghost king you mentioned, who is he? Whether it exists or not is uncertain. Even if it exists, I don't think you can invite it..." He looked back and looked at Xian.

Jing Xian smiled.

Lu Yingjiu kicked his foot, and he immediately restrained his smile and pretended to be concerned.

Lu Yingjiu said: "You just finished the operation, we will go to the slaughterhouse after you are discharged from the hospital."

"No, we'll go there today." Chen Yanyan suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Yingjiu, "I really can't bear it all day, you, you must kill it as soon as possible. Just you and me, we Let's go now, two!"

She bit "the two of us" hard.

Jing Xian clicked his tongue lightly.

Lu Yingjiu knew what he was dissatisfied with, and said, "He wants to go with me. Besides, it's not just the three of us."

He stood up, went to the door and pulled—

The man was leaning against the door to eavesdrop, but couldn't react, and staggered and fell into the house.

It's clearly a little Li.

Xiao Li supported himself with his hands, so as not to let himself fall, and then raised his head in panic.

Lu Yingjiu raised the corner of his mouth: "Hello, how is Chu Banyang doing recently? Seeing that he still has the intention to send someone to follow me, he should be quite relaxed, right?"

……

The Aston Martin that Jing Xian bought for Yixue’s shame is really good-looking. The sun flows smoothly from the front to the rear of the car. It is dazzling and compelling, and the lines of the body all show the beauty of speed. .

At this time, on the expressway, it was advancing at a speed of... 50 kilometers per hour.

Lu Yingjiu said: "Xiao Li, you'd better drive faster, the minimum speed on this section of the road is 80."

In the driver's seat, Xiao Li trembled and said: "I'm afraid of being hit. Brother Lu, you can't afford to sell me for this collision. I'll take a look, or find someone else Rest stop, let Brother Jingxian drive."

Jing Xian leaned against Lu Yingjiu, and said leisurely, "I just finished a long drive and I'm tired."

Lu Yingjiu also said: "It's okay, if you really don't have enough money, ask Chu Banyang to pay you a ransom and release him."

Xiao Li wailed: "Master will kill me! It's his grandma's birthday next month. Didn't he just kill me for his grandma's fun? That's going to be a cramp, and the ashes will be mixed with rice! Brother Lu, otherwise you Come on?"

Before Lu Yingjiu could speak, Jing Xian said, "He didn't get enough sleep, driving when tired is very dangerous, and there are four people in the car."

Xiao Li didn't know how to refute, and said again: "Brother Lu! You two are really a husband and wife! It's too embarrassing!"

"If you don't know how to use idioms, you don't have to." Lu Yingjiu said, Jing Xian laughed beside him.

However, Lu Yingjiu actually didn't know why Jing Xian, who was addicted to driving, suddenly didn't want to.

What was the situation?

It seems that, after he said that he wanted to catch up on sleep in the car, Jing Xian drove Xiao Li to drive, Chen Yanyan to the co-pilot, and insisted on squeezing him in the back seat.

She also looked at him excitedly, with "I'm ready, why don't you sleep" written on his face.

The way Lu Yingjiu looked at him was simply inexplicable, she had no idea what Jingxian was expecting.Instead, Chen Yanyan, the co-pilot, had just lowered the seat and fell asleep because he had just had surgery and was in a bad mood.Jing Xian was originally sitting behind the co-pilot, but when the seat was lowered, the space was narrow, and his long legs were uncomfortable no matter what, so he moved his body to get closer to Lu Yingjiu.

Lu Yingjiu lowered her eyes and thought.

The current situation is that the Green Lantern Society doesn't know that he has found Chen Yanyan, and Chen Yanyan doesn't know that the Green Lantern Society is because he restarted the investigation.This kind of poor information allowed him and Chen Yanyan to act together.

But the fire cannot be contained in the paper, and it will soon be revealed.He actually doesn't have much time, and he needs to sort out the clues before then.

As for Li...

He glanced at the trembling Xiao Li.

Xiao Li simply listened to Chu Banyang's words and followed him, not even knowing that the girl beside him was Chen Yanyan.

He continued to think.

Jing Xian and him were close together, in such a narrow space, they could even feel each other's body temperature and breathing.Gradually, Lu Yingjiu's mind was no longer tense.

They have only met for a few days, but it feels like they have already experienced a lot.

Moreover, Lu Yingjiu felt that he believed in Jing Xian very much.

He couldn't find the words to describe that trust, and he didn't know where it came from.Subconsciously, he always felt a sense of security staying by Jing Xian's side.If he had to say it, he could only think of a weird metaphor: it was the kind of sense of security that would allow him to sleep peacefully in the long night where ghosts were rampant.

What is this?Hit it off?

The sports car drove forward slowly, and a few impatient cars flew past them, and overtook them neatly.Lu Yingjiu took a deep breath, and suddenly realized that there was a crescent-like aura on Jing Xian.

Very light very light.

If it wasn't for this narrow environment, if it wasn't for the silence around, if it wasn't for them huddled side by side, he wouldn't have noticed it either.

Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a moment.

Then he lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Jing Xian..."

"Huh?" Jing Xian looked sideways at him.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you, do you know the Chen family's 'Weaving Cloud Art'?"

Jing Xian paused for a few seconds.

Those ghost teachers only taught him common sense.He actually didn't know a lot about ghost exorcists.He shook his head: "Not really sure."

Lu Yingjiu glanced at the sleeping Chen Yanyan, and moved closer to respectfully, lowering his voice, the two of them were almost rubbing each other's ears.He explained: "The so-called 'weaving clouds technique' is just another name for human skin masks. In the early years, the Chen family made a fortune by cutting off the skins of dead people and making masks. Later, the law was perfected. , They are also concerned about moral issues, so they no longer use human skin, but instead use animal leather, such as pigskin, sheepskin or cowhide.”

He continued: "I checked, and the Sidong slaughterhouse we are going to is the Chen family's enterprise—that's why Chen Yanyan brought his classmates to test his courage. In the past, the Chen family should have used the slaughterhouse to come here. Make a mask."

"Animal skins are definitely not comparable to human skins. They are much stiffer and can be easily seen. I have seen real human skin masks before, and they are really vivid when worn. Even the closest people come. I can't find any flaws. In that commission, the one wearing the mask was a ghost. It pretended to be a human, lured acquaintances to its lair, and then devoured them. Those victims didn't know why their "friends" wanted to kill themselves in the end. .”

"Put on a disguise, a person who lives with you day and night, you don't even know if he is a human or a ghost."

Jing Xian listened carefully, but Lu Yingjiu did not continue.

The silence was a little strange.

Jing Xian turned his head, Lu Yingjiu raised his eyes to look at him, the sun shone through the glass, illuminating each of his eyelashes, and his soft black hair seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

Lu Yingjiu stared at Jingxian intently, smiled, and repeated word by word: "I don't even know whether he is a human or a ghost."
