Ghost World Office

After listening to Tao Ye's explanation, Lu Yi's face sank, and after thinking for a while, he said to Tao Ye:

"You and I go back to City S, first confirm the state of Tao Yi's soul."

Just now, when Lu Yi was working in the human world in City C, it wasn't that he didn't notice anything unusual.

After he exchanged greetings with the director of City C Human World Office in the office above the KTV, the director of City C Human World Office led Lu Yi to another room.Tao Yi's soul was temporarily placed here.

Tao Yi's soul was locked in a silver cage. When Lu Yi saw her, she was sitting in the cage in a daze.

In most cases, the imprisoned souls will appear restless, while Tao Yi looks unusually calm.

But at that time, Lu Yi didn't realize that something was wrong. After putting Tao Yi into a deep sleep with the force of law, he transferred Tao Yi to the cage he brought and took him away from the Human World Office in City C.

Now it seems that before Tao Yi's soul was taken away by Lu Yi, something was not quite right.

Tao Ye called Cheng Qiangjun and told him that he had to return to City S in a hurry, so he would not watch the e-sports competition.

Then the two immediately drove back to S city.

After arriving at the hospital where Tao Yi's body was located, the two helped the soul out of the cage and placed it beside Tao Yi's hospital bed.

"I'll do it, be careful." Lu Yi glanced at Tao Ye and warned in a low voice.

Tao Ye nodded, not trying to be brave.

What Lu Yi will do next is to push Tao Yi's soul into her body with the force of law.

This process is very labor-intensive, and with Tao Ye's small water bottle, it is almost impossible to complete it easily.

Another more obscure reason is that they are still not sure whether Tao Yi's soul has been deformed or part of it is missing.

If it is the former, then when the soul enters the body, it will burst out with huge energy, because the normal body will instinctively reject the deformed soul.

This kind of huge energy will not only bring shock and harm to the people around, but also very likely to form a "field", just like what they saw in the orphanage last time.

It was dusk, and the warm orange glow passed through the glass windows of the ward, evenly sprinkled on Tao Yi's hospital bed, on the floor, and on the hanging water bottle hanging by the bed.

The heater in the room was on, the old air vents were hissing, and everything looked peaceful and peaceful.

Lu Yi lifted Tao Yi's soul up with the force of law, and carefully placed it on Tao Yi's body.

Watching the soul slowly sinking into Tao Yi's body, Tao Ye's heart suddenly felt sour——

Why does the world treat its people like this.

When he was training in the Ghost Realm Management Agency, someone told him that both human beings and souls are citizens of this world.

And the God Realm hanging above the Ghost Realm is the world's hand and the world's eyes.

Tao Ye didn't understand why the world had to create so many misfortunes, and all of these misfortunes fell on Tao Yi.

"Why..." Tao Ye asked almost unconsciously. After running around all day, he didn't have time to drink water, and a lot of pale dead skin had turned up on his lips.

Lu Yi was startled, and glanced at the young man sitting beside him.

Under the twilight, Tao Ye's eyelids drooped, but his eyes were still dry without any trace of tears.

His hands are clasped tightly on his knees, his back is slightly bent forward due to fatigue, and his whole body looks like a desperate traveler who has been trekking in the desert for a long time and can't find an oasis.

Tao Yi's soul slowly descended and finally merged with his body.

For a split second, nothing happened.It's just that the lily flower on Tao Yi's bedside lost a stamen, and the stamen fell on the white bedside table, leaving a dark red trace.

Nothing happened, which meant that Tao Yi's soul was not deformed, but a part was missing.

Tao Ye seemed to have recovered from something, but he didn't let go of his clenched fists on his knees. He let out a long, foul breath from his chest, and fixed his eyes on Tao Yi's face.

……

Tao Ye did not go back to the dormitory, but stayed on the second floor of No. 44 Yanshi Lane.It was past three o'clock in the morning, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

He was lying on a bed made of two or three benches, his eyes fixed on the incandescent lamps on the ceiling.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, Tao Ye realized that there was something wrong with what happened recently.

First, Tao Yi was possessed by an abnormal soul, and then his roommate's sister was involved in a supernatural incident. After that, Tao Yi lost a piece of his soul inexplicably...

In the short period of one or two weeks since he came to the human world, almost all abnormal events happened around him.

If Tao Ye was not mistaken, there must be someone secretly manipulating all this.

But he was not sure of the purpose and identity of the manipulator.

Suddenly, a moth spun towards the light tube, its wings collided with the light tube, making a small rustling noise.

Tao Ye suddenly remembered the soul-raiser mentioned by the abnormal soul who was tortured by him before, and his body was torn to pieces——Dan.

The soul-cultivator itself is also a deformed soul, but because the degree of distortion is very slight, it usually looks the same as a normal person.

In order to maintain their superficial normality and gain more power, some soul raisers will collect souls wandering in the world and absorb their memories, and the souls whose memories have been absorbed by the soul raisers will be deformed.

And some more powerful soul cultivators will pick some weaker members of the Human World Office, and gain the power of law by devouring and controlling their souls.

You know, only the power of law can tear the soul apart.So Tao Yi's soul must have been tampered with by the soul raiser.

These clues, like the stars in the sky, gradually became clear in Tao Ye's mind, from dots to lines, pointing to the soul-cultivator.

Tao Ye let out a long and irritated sigh from his chest, got up from the bench, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette with the cold wind blowing in from the window.

The pungent and stimulating smell diffused in his mouth, and a plane roared past in the sky, leaving a long silence.

"Don't worry too much, I've already sent an email to the surrounding Human World Office, asking them to pay attention to Tao Yi's soul fragment." At some point, Lu Yi stood behind Tao Ye.

Tao Ye looked back at Lu Yi, then continued to look at the dim night outside the window, and slowly exhaled smoke: "Thank you."

The current Tao Ye can already express his thanks to Lu Yi very smoothly.

"What do you think?" Lu Yi asked tentatively seeing Tao Ye's preoccupied look.

Tao Ye flicked the cigarette butt lightly with his slender index finger, and the gray-black ash fell into the ashtray on the window sill. After thinking for two seconds, he said:

"I suspect it was done by the soul breeder."

Hearing this, Lu Yi's black eyes burst into waves. He had also thought about this possibility before, but now it seems that the soul-cultivator is the biggest suspect.

"You're right, it's just that we haven't been able to determine who the soul keeper is yet, and I will do my best to help you." Lu Yi said to Tao Ye.

"Director Lu, thank you." Tao Ye squeezed out a forced smile and looked back at Lu Yi, although this smile was uglier than crying.

Seeing Tao Ye's sad and polite smile, Lu Yi couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and patted Tao Ye's shoulder, comforting him in a deep voice, "Don't worry."

The atmosphere became weird again, but fortunately, Lao Xu came up from downstairs with a bowl of noodles, and yelled at the two people by the window:

"It's dinner time!"

Because of Tao Yi's matter, Tao Ye didn't eat anything all night.And Lu Yi was busy with business, so he didn't have dinner.

Lao Xu put the noodles on the dining table and beckoned to the two: "Come on, come on, or it will be lumpy in a while."

The strong bone broth aroma of the noodles aroused Tao Ye's appetite. He extinguished the cigarette, sat down at the dining table, swallowed, and picked up the chopsticks to start.

Hot food can always soothe the heart in the middle of the night. The noodles slide down the esophagus into the stomach, with tender shallots and shredded chicken, making Tao Ye feel so comfortable that tears welled up in his eyes.

Lu Yi on the side gracefully picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them in his mouth. Watching Tao Ye eat deliciously, something in his heart suddenly became warm and soft.

Lao Xu was a rough man, he ate noodles in big mouthfuls, and within 2 minutes, a bowl of noodles fell into his stomach.

There were no noodles to block Lao Xu's mouth, and Lao Xu's mouth began to babble again:

"Little Tao, Lu Chu is helping you so much, Lu Chu's birthday is two days away, you have to think carefully about what gift to give..."

After finishing speaking, Lao Xu showed a sly smile meaningfully.

"Birthday?" Tao Ye stopped chewing and asked in confusion.

As far as he knows, most of the members of the Human World Office do not have birthdays, because their essence is soul.

Although some members will celebrate their birthdays in their previous lives, they usually celebrate them secretly and will not tell others that their birthday is approaching with great fanfare.

Old Xu poured some vinegar into his own bowl, while observing Lu Yi's expression, he asked Lu Yi: "Lu Chu, did I tell Xiao Tao?",

Lu Yi nodded, without speaking, he lowered his head and scooped up a spoonful of noodle soup with a spoon, and put it into his mouth.

With Lu Yi's permission, Old Xu spoke vividly like a storyteller:

"Then you don't know something, our road is different from ordinary people."

Tao Ye deeply agreed with this "different from ordinary people", nodded in approval, and signaled Lao Xu to continue talking quickly.

"There are gods on our road, gods!" Old Xu lowered his voice, and moved his head closer to Tao Yi, but his tone could not conceal the pride, although Tao Ye couldn't figure out what Lao Xu was proud of.

"I know." Tao Ye said with some disappointment.

He had already guessed that Lu Yi was a god.

Old Xu looked at Tao Yi in surprise, opened his mouth, and asked:

"You know all this? I didn't know until half a year after I got here."

Tao Ye didn't take it seriously, and gave Lao Xu a stab:

"I've even been to Director Lu's home in the ghost world." After speaking, Tao Ye took a meaningful look at Lu Yi who was eating noodles in peace.

Lu Yi didn't respond, just nodded and said lightly: "It's not a secret."

Old Xu patted his bald head in shock. Everyone knew the secret he thought was a secret. This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to a middle-aged man.

He opened his mouth and sighed after a long while: "The relationship between Lu Chu and Xiao Tao is really unusual."

He, Xu, tried his best to flatter Lu Yi and do his job well, but he hadn't been to Lu Yi's residence in the ghost world yet.

And Tao Ye, a newcomer who lacks the power of discipline, was invited by Lu Yi to be a guest at home not long after he came to the world to do business.

Man...why is it so different? !
