soul seeker

"Y-how do I call?" Yingchen, who was standing in front of the fax machine, was nervous and her voice was intermittent.

"It's just pinyin, it's not so hard to come by, so relax a little bit." Wu Ci patiently taught while comforting him, "I don't need to teach you the wording or something? It's just to tell me that the glass syndrome is cured, nothing else Complicated matters."

"Well. After that... how will the higher-ups arrange me?"

"Should tell you to stay here, I'm so good, isn't this city short of a soul seeker? By the way, by the way, I also need to report how far you have studied. With your current level, you should I can stay, and I will continue to teach the rest, although I can't touch the ring, but I can still finish teaching."

After sending the report, the two of them sat on the sofa and waited for the reply from above.

Seeing that Yingchen was still anxious, Wu Ci was at a loss for what to do, so he lay down, pillowed him on Yingchen's lap, closed his eyes and smiled and said, "That's great, from now on I'll really be the shopkeeper who throws his hands away. You don’t need to do it, just watch you are busy.”

"What are you talking about? By the way, what is erosive disease? You haven't told me yet."

"Actually, it's nothing. Just like people will die after living for a long time, the soul will disappear after living for a long time, but don't worry now, it's still early."

"The soul will die too? Is it the so-called extinction?" Yingchen frowned worriedly.

"It's about the same, but maybe you should go first in the end, because the glass disease is just like that."

Just as I was talking, the above reply came down.

"How is it? What did the above say?" Wu Ci asked Yingchen who was reading the reply.

"It says yes, no problem."

Wu Ci could tell from Yingchen's expression that he was relieved.

"And the above said that the other three will be notified to ask them to help more."

"Well, in fact, if the soul seeker recovers, the other soul seekers in the same city will be notified. When Qi Su recovered, you should remember it? Alright, now that everything is confirmed, we will continue to practice Come on, stop thinking about it, and do what you have to do well."

Qian Funing went back to the basement after performing the task, and saw paper hanging from the fax machine, he walked over to tear it off and was about to complain about why today's tasks were one after another, but found that it was not a task.

After reading it, he put down the paper and sighed deeply: "What can Yingchen do, he doesn't seem much more reliable than me."

In the abandoned school.

"How long are you going to be depressed?" Li Shu, who really couldn't see it, asked Shang Li who was sitting listlessly in the corner with downcast eyes.

"You don't have the right to say anything about me, you've been there longer than me." Shang Li joked with a wry smile, neither looking up nor looking at it.

"That's true." Li Shu leaned her head against the wall, looking out the window at the dark night without stars.

The two of them fell silent again, when the fax machine sent a message about Wu Ci.

"It's been an eventful time."

"What's the matter? Is there any difficult soul to deal with?" Li Shu saw that Shang Li's expression didn't look like he had encountered an ordinary task, and he sighed again.

"No, it's not about the mission, it's about Wu Ci. He has cured his glass disease, but he can't reincarnate because of his constitution."

"Wu Ci? Oh... that's the one in the gray gown... Then, he can't reincarnate, so he can only find a place to stay like you said?"

"No, he still has an apprentice who hasn't finished his studies. He has to stay and teach him to handle the task alone." After saying that, Shang Li put away the paper, and continued to sit back in the corner doing nothing.

In the ivy.

Wei Bai went to perform the task, so the first one to see the news was Lin Xue.

An hour later, Wei Bai came back, and Lin Xue handed him the paper.

After seeing it, Wei Bai sighed helplessly: "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for him."

half a month later.

"It's a good thing you're here, I'm still worried that you're going to perform the mission."

In the evening, Wu Ci brought Yingchen to Shangli's abandoned school.

"Hey? Why are you two here? What's the matter? Do you need help with the mission?"

"No, I went with him on the most recent missions. Fortunately, I haven't met one that needs to be solved by force. This time, I want you to use the tail ring to practice with him." Wu Ci explained the purpose of coming.

"Oh, so it's for practice, that's fine. Then what does he use if I use the tail ring? The tail ring or the red ring?"

"Of course it's the tail ring. Now that the rings have been updated, I can't wait until the day he actually meets the evil spirit before giving him the tail ring, right? So after much deliberation, I can only find a soul seeker to practice with him , I can’t wear the ring now. Looking at the environment, your place is the most suitable.”

"Yes, yes," Shang Li complained helplessly, "My environment here is secluded, so either the Cypriots gave it to me, or I have a share in any bad things. Let's go to the playground. It's too small here to use it well." open."

on the playground.

"Relax, it's as stiff as an allegro. Don't worry, I won't use all my strength. After all, we all know your level."

"What kind of talk is this!" Yingchen shouted at him.

"Yo, isn't it?"

Just when Yingchen thought that he was going to say something to stimulate him again, he didn't expect that Shang Li had already activated the tail ring and stabbed him with a knife, a surprise attack came.

"Concentrate!" Shang Li frowned and looked at Ying Chen who was at a loss even though he had blocked the attack, "He won't say before the evil spirit attacks" Ha!I am coming! "This kind of words will not let you like Wu Ci."

"Oh, I see." After being trained by him, Yingchen clenched the knife tightly and concentrated on facing this trial seriously.

"What happened? I didn't see Ruan Yue, and I'm not in a good mood to see Shang Li." On the edge of the playground, Wu Ci and Li Shu watched the trial.

"Ruan Yue is reincarnated. Because she has weathering disease, if she doesn't enter Wujie, she will have no chance of reincarnation in this life."

"So it's because of Ruan Yue, I said... Few things can make Shang Li feel bad."

"Hey Shangli! Stop for a moment, there is a task." Li Shu took the task paper and shouted to Shangli who was resting in the middle of practice on the playground.

"What? Is there a mission?" Shang Li got up and walked towards Lishu, "What? Didn't you report to the higher-ups to assign the mission to Qian Funing and Wei Bai first?" He asked Wu Ci beside him.

"The report was made, but instead of asking them to assign the task to the other two, I asked them to send my task here together, because this kind of task cannot be completed in a day, it may last for a week. "

"That's it, that's it. I'm going to finish the task while I'm resting." Shang Li turned his head to look at Ying Chen who was sleeping soundly on the playground, "I don't think I'll wake up for a while."

ten days later.

"I think it's almost there?" On the playground, Shang Li put the blade of Weijie on his shoulder and tapped lightly, "Yingchen's skill has improved a lot, and he can almost match me. I feel tired. The time period of feeling has also been extended, I think it’s okay, other experience can only be obtained through practice, and you can’t learn it just by practicing. Aah, anyway, his level should be more than enough to fight with Qianfuning, this kid It's much better than I imagined, and I'm improving very quickly."

Yingchen who was standing opposite him laughed with a "puchi", "Is that rabbit the bottom line?"

"Yes." Shang Li took it for granted, "At least in our city."

Wu Ci and Yingchen received the task after arriving at Tongzilou from Shangli for a while.

"What's it like this time?" Wu Ci sat on the sofa.

"The old man fell ill and died in the hospital."

"Oh, this time you go alone."

"Hey?! Am I going alone? Why!" Yingchen turned around with an anxious expression on her face.

"It's time for you to try to perform the task by yourself. Do you want me to accompany you every time in the next few years? I can't fight now. I can only be a hindrance if my soul is evil. Alright , Don’t talk, go quickly, it’s not good to waste time.”

Why do you say that, I won't feel flustered when you're here... Yingchen, who has no reason to refute, reads the mission introduction and leaves the door.

in the hospital ward.

Unwilling, the old man's soul tugged on Yingchen's collar hysterically and shouted: "Why me! I'm only 61 years old! Why am I the first to die among my friends of the same age! It's not fair! I Usually in good health! I don’t smoke or drink, and I value exercise very much! Why me!”

Yingchen, who had no idea in his heart, was even more flustered when he asked him.

But he thought that if he showed his panic, it might cause the soul in front of him to become evil.

Yingchen raised his hand and gently grabbed his hand. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he opened his eyes and said with a serious face: "I was 20 years old when I passed away. Both my parents died when I was young. My younger sister is still in college. A grandfather with dementia living in a nursing home, compared to you, do I have to ask why?"

After hearing Yingchen's words, the old man fell silent.

"Then you won't feel reconciled?"

"Yes, of course you will feel unwilling or something, but it's useless. If you blindly immerse yourself in this kind of emotion, you will only push yourself to a worse place. So, it's better to relax a little. Isn't it better to enter the next reincarnation? Okay. Shall I open the reincarnation door for you?" Yingchen asked with a smile.

Seeing the old man's back disappearing into the black boundless, and the door also disappearing, Yingchen sat down on the hospital bed with a sigh of relief.

"It's fine, it's fine, I thought we couldn't handle it." Relieved, he smiled happily, "It doesn't count as disappointing him to this extent... Go back, go back!"

Yingchen got up and walked out of the ward with a happy face.

Two years later.

In the city, the night gradually unfolds in the sky that fades at dusk.

Qian Funing chased an evil spirit all the way towards the Tongzilou.

Seeing the Tongzilou building approaching in front of him, Qian Funing smiled and said, "You picked the right place to run. From this point of view, it's quite reassuring for me."

As soon as the evil spirit entered the courtyard of the abandoned tube building, Shang Li shouted: "He Yingchen! Come down! There is an evil spirit! It's in the courtyard! Come and help me get rid of it!"

"Understood! I have seen the report of crossing the border a long time ago!" Yingchen stood in front of the window and opened the tail ring, smashed open the already dilapidated window with a knife, jumped down in front of the evil spirit, and directly raised his leg and smashed the evil spirit. A kick.

This evil spirit hadn't swallowed anything yet, and was still very weak. Yingchen kicked it into the air and hit a tree not far away.

"Let you run! Run again!" Panting Qian Funing who was chasing after him, he raised his hand and held the knife behind his back, and stabbed the blade into the stomach of the dizzy evil spirit, sucking it into the knife into the unbounded.

"Thank you." Qian Funing straightened her body, watching Ying Chen take off the tail ring.

"You're welcome," Yingchen also took off the tail ring, with a smug smile, "Why haven't you made any progress?"

"What do you mean no progress! It just happened to let it slip! What kind of tone are you talking about! Don't forget that I am a senior, please be polite!"

Wu Ci upstairs, looking at the two of them through the window, didn't expect that this kid would still have such a day.
