This Damned Thirst for Survival

On the night of the first seven days, the dead return to their souls.

When this day came, Jiang Luo was calmer than he had imagined.

Can he still stop Chi You from getting stronger?

Jiang Luo didn't think he had anything to lose compared to Chi You, he had the talent that the original body didn't have, and it was extraordinary.Fortunately, he found a way to protect himself before Chi You's first seven.

He turned and walked to the closet, his fingers skipped over the brightly colored clothes and landed on the black clothes.

Jiang Luo politely changed into black clothes and black trousers, took out a rubber band, and tied up his shoulder-length hair. Two strands of hair were messily and handsomely scattered on both sides of his profile from the corners of his temples.

He didn't seem to be stage fright at all, not only didn't he have stage fright, but he was also faintly ready to move.

The fact is also the same. If Jiang Luo didn't like excitement and horror, he wouldn't have found the book "Evil Ghost" specifically, and he wouldn't have liked the character of Chi You.

He still firmly remembers the eighteen times he was killed by Chi You. A gentleman will take revenge without any delay. Jiang Luo can't wait.

He was eager to kill Chi You, and he believed that Chi You was also eager to kill him.

Jiang Luo tied up her hair and looked up at the mirror.There seemed to be sparks burning in the eyes of the young man in the mirror, shining brightly.

In the original text, Chi You's soul was weak after death, and he couldn't even show up when he was summoned on the first seven days.But after these days of confrontation, Jiang Luo felt something was wrong.

Chi You was weak, but not so weak.

He can even manipulate dead souls, even living souls, even if he manipulates small things like birds, it has been confirmed that he is different from what was described in the original text.

What does this mean?

It means that in "Evil Ghost", Chi You in the early stage is likely to show weakness deliberately.

He already had the strength to take revenge on the original owner, but he pretended not to. Not only that, he also used his resentment to attract Feng Li, the number one celestial master in the text, and asked Feng Li to help him practice revenge.

Why did he do this?

Jiang Luo frowned.

The original body is a child of the Feng family, the Feng family is the celestial master of the six sects, and Feng Li is the number one celestial master today. In the memory of the original body, Feng Li is a man that the original owner is afraid of even mentioning it.

The reason why the original owner dared to be jealous of Chi You and ruthlessly dealt with Chi You was because he was deceived by Chi You's hypocritical appearance.

But for Feng Li, the original owner didn't even dare to approach him.

Although Feng Li's talent is not as good as Chi You's, he is also the proud son of heaven, and Chi You is no different. If Chi You really deliberately attracted Feng Li, then what is he planning?

Jiang Luo thought about these questions, and when he went downstairs, he happened to meet several other people.

Today is Chi You's seventh day, and the group is going to report to the school after class, and go out of school together to worship Chi You.

When school was over in the evening, Jiang Luo prepared everything and followed them out of school.But as he walked, he came to a funeral supplies store.

In addition to selling items for the dead, the store also sells items such as yellow paper and cinnabar compasses.Wen Renlian wore a black dress and walked in the front with a familiar face. He said with a smile, "Hurry up if you want to buy anything. We'd better get there before dark."

A few people from Lu rushed away, Jiang Luo looked at the wreaths and paper houses placed by the roadside in the store, and moved his eyes to the counter.

A middle-aged man was sitting on a rocking chair with his eyes closed and his eyes crossed. When he heard someone coming in, he didn't open his eyes.

"Look at it, buy it..." The boss greeted lazily, "Buy it if you touch it, and pay ten if it breaks."

"This is the place where I told you that you can buy good materials," Wen Renlian smiled and walked to Jiang Luo's side, "We are missing a lot of things, we will go to the cemetery after replenishing, and you can see what you want. "

Jiang Luo nodded, he just felt that having talismans was not enough.

He turned slowly in the shop.This store is not big, the first floor is only about [-] square meters, and the dark wooden shelves are full of messy things. On the side near the north wall, there is a wooden staircase nailed to the wall without guardrails.

Jiang Luo's eyes swept over all kinds of things. He didn't know most of the weird things. Because of occupational diseases, he always paid attention to details and corners. He went all the way to the deepest place. He saw an unremarkable creature in a remote corner. wooden box.

Good things are placed where they are easy to see. This thing is buried so deep that even the boss may forget what it is.Jiang Luo became curious and took out the box.

A thick layer of dust accumulated on the box, and when Jiang Luo blew, the dust flew around.

After the ashes were gone, Jiang Luo touched the box a few times and felt something was wrong. He put the box on the open space with great interest, and carefully observed it over and over again.

The texture of this feel is definitely not an ordinary box.Jiang Luo overturned his previous thoughts. It was obvious that someone had taken a fancy to this box and hid it specially for fear of being bought by others.

He became more interested, and gently opened the box, and there was a bracelet in it.

The bracelet looked old, and there was a circle of golden runes engraved on it. Jiang Luo couldn't understand the content of these runes. He picked up the bracelet wrapped around the corner of his clothes, and was a little surprised. The bracelet looked like wood, but It has the weight of jade in the hand, and the quality can be seen with the naked eye, which is warm and delicate, not inferior to the best suet jade.

Jiang Luo didn't know what the bracelet was for, so he took it out and went to the boss, "Boss, what is this?"

The boss opened one eye, let out a "huh", and recovered a little bit of energy, "Oh, Yin Yang Huan, you are lucky, this is a good thing."

He stretched out a slap and shook his five fingers, "This is a buy-it-all price, never a bargain."

Jiang Luo asked, "Yin-Yang Ring?"

The boss closed his eyes again, "The yin and yang rings are engraved with thirteen golden inscriptions and secret mantras, worn on the body, it is effective for self-defense, and all evils will not invade."

Jiang Luo's heart moved, and he put the yin and yang ring on his right hand.Coincidentally, this yin and yang ring just fits the size of Jiang Luo's wrist. The jade-like wood bracelet quietly glows with warmth in the dark light, and the skin with black hair and youthful whiteness is as white as porcelain, and it is not exclusive to it. Harmoniously matched together.

Jiang Luo paid the bill with satisfaction, and suddenly saw that there was a special bead among the beads in the boss's hand.

Among the beads made of wood, this bead seemed to be transparent, exuding a white icy aura. Jiang Luo couldn't help but look at this bead a few more times, and his right eyelid suddenly twitched a few times.

He pressed his right eyelid and asked, "Boss, can you show me the Liuzhu in your hand?"

The boss suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Jiang Luo meaningfully, "Do you want to see my Liuzhu?"

Jiang Luo smiled, "Can't you?"

The boss took a deep look at him and handed the beads to him, "Yes."

But before Liuzhu reached Jiang Luo's hands, the rope from which Liuzhu was flying suddenly broke.The beads suddenly fell to the ground and rolled everywhere.

No one expected that the beads would break so suddenly. After hearing the sound, Ye Xun and the others rushed over to help find the beads, but the beads they found in the end were one less than the original ones.

The missing one was the one that Jiang Luo looked at very differently.

The boss looked at the remaining Liuzhu with a complicated expression. Jiang Luo couldn't tell what his expression meant, but he seemed to be hiding fear and felt melancholy as if he was relieved.After a long while, the boss waved the person away with a big hand, "Forget it, it's nothing important, so don't look for it either."

"Pay quickly, I'm about to close the door."

This kind of shop would never do business after dark, so the group paid the money quickly and took a taxi to the cemetery.

Eight people arrived at Chi You's grave in two cars.Chi You is the head of the Chi family, and the graveyard is in a treasured place of geomantic omen.When they arrived, there were many traces of flowers and burnt paper left on Chi You's grave, which should have been worshiped by many people during the day.

The group of people were all professionals, and they quickly set up the things for the soul-calling, and Ye Xun was the one to call the soul.

Jiang Luo secretly heightened his vigilance and made preparations for Chi You's appearance.

He was protected in the middle by a few people from Lu, who were afraid that Chi Youming would be stubborn and would not listen to persuasion, so they were going to take Jiang Luo away tonight.

But in the end nothing happened.

Ye Xun frowned and opened his eyes, "I can't bring back Chi You's soul."

Ge Zhu said solemnly, "I'll try."

However, after trying one by one, Chi You did not appear.Everyone was completely dumbfounded now, Lu Yi couldn't figure it out, "Isn't Chi You's top seven tonight?"

"How is it possible," Zhuo Zhongqiu retorted, "it's unmistakable, tonight is Chi You's first seven. It's really strange, but I can't get a soul..."

Jiang Luo couldn't tell whether he was relieved or more vigilant. He frowned, looked at the tombstone under the dark night, and quietly lowered his eyes into thought.

In the eyes of others, this appearance is inevitably covered with a layer of sadness and sadness.Zhuo Zhongqiu suddenly threw away the mahogany sword in his hand, and lazily found out his mobile phone to call a taxi, "Come on, let's stop, I'll take you to the bar for a drink."

Wen Renlian also put down the things in his hands, and smoothed the corners of his skirt gracefully, "Today is Chi You's first seven days, and everyone is not feeling very well. It's a good idea to drink away your worries."

Lu Yi secretly glanced at Jiang Luo several times, "Okay, okay."

A group of people went from the cemetery to the bar in this way.Zhuo Zhongqiu knew how to play, and took them to a big bar in the city center, where the neon lights were bright and the crowd was noisy.

The light was very dim, as soon as they entered, Zhuo Zhongqiu led Lu Yi, Seriol and Ge Zhu straight to the dance floor.Ge Zhu changed into casual clothes because he was going to go out, and kept saying "nothing, no way", but when he stood on the dance floor, he danced more happily than anyone else.

Jiang Luo watched them making a fuss, walked to the bar and knocked on the table, and said to the bartender, "Give me a cold beer."

The lighting at the bar is dim, and there are only a few downlights with extremely low brightness in the place where the wine is placed.

The face of the bartender was hidden in the darkness. Hearing this, he neither asked Jiang Luo which brand of beer he wanted, nor did he joke or tease him. Instead, he turned around silently and skillfully brought the mixing glass.

Ye Xun sat on Jiang Luo's left, Wen Renlian and Kuang Zheng sat on Jiang Luo's right.Wen Renlian took out a pack of cigarettes and put them on the table, took out one and handed it to Jiang Luo, he put a cigarette into his red lips, and lit it with a smile.

If you don't look at his Adam's apple, Wenren's every move is full of charming femininity, mature and elegant.Jiang Luo next to him was not concealed by his brilliance at all, his brows were covered with a layer of hazy and ambiguous light under the colorful lights, the beautiful eyes of the black-haired young man squinted and smoked, and the crowd around him seemed to have nothing to do. Look at the two of them.

"I thought I'd see Chi You today," Wen Renlian said in a low voice, "I've already figured out how to persuade him to let go of you."

Jiang Luo smiled wryly, and smoked absently, "I thought I could see him too."

"If he wants to take you away, he won't let go of this opportunity," Wen Renlian said, "unless his wish is fulfilled and he decides to let you go."

how is this possible.

Jiang Luo sneered from the bottom of his heart, he sighed, resting his chin with one hand, his eyes were confused, "Wenren, tell me, is it true that Chi You is not dead?"

Ye Xun, who was listening to their conversation, frowned, "Jiang Luo, Chi You is dead."

Stern tone: "You saw it with your own eyes, didn't you?"

Like a blow from a hammer, Jiang Luo's face turned pale. He slowly lowered his head, put out the cigarette, and murmured, "Yes, I saw him lying in the coffin with my own eyes."

In silence, the bartender delivered the mixed drink to Jiang Luo.

The wine was rippling, and the blood-like liquid slid off the wall of the cup, pulling down thick blood-colored filaments.

Jiang Luo obviously ordered cold beer, but the drink in the glass was as red as blood.He raised his head sharply, piercing the bartender with sharp eyes.

The bartender wiped the wine glass silently. After being watched by Jiang Luo, he showed a standard service smile towards Jiang Luo, polite and polite, but there was a bit of imperceptible stiffness hidden in his movements.

It's like a puppet controlled by silk threads.

The corners of Jiang Luo's mouth parted, he picked up the wine glass and shook it in his hand, Wen Renlian asked suddenly: "In that shop before, you can also exchange your talismans for things."

Jiang Luowei wondered: "No, the limit of my talisman drawing every day is seven talismans, each talisman is very precious, and tonight is Chi You's first seven...I dare not use it casually."

"Qi Zhang is already very powerful," Wen Renlian seemed to sigh, "You're right, it's better to be careful."

The bartender suddenly said: "Guest, is the drink not to your liking?"

Jiang Luo looked back at the bartender, pushed the glass away without mercy, stood up, "I don't want to drink anymore, I'll go to the dance floor to see."

There are so many people on the dance floor, people are crowded.As soon as Jiang Luo entered, he was accosted by several people. He rejected them politely. He looked for several people in the crowd, but he didn't see a familiar face.

The blue light hit the people around him, and everyone's face became strange and cold, as if covered with a ghostly shadow.

Jiang Luo took a step back when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.

He turned around to look, and a melancholy and handsome face came into his eyes.

The man was wearing a suit that didn't fit in the bar, his eyes seemed to be full of melancholy, and he was very affectionate when he looked at people. He smiled and said to Jiang Luo: "Mr. Beautiful, can I invite you to dance?"

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, stared at him for a long while, then showed a bright and flamboyant smile, and said in a long tone, "Of course."
