Ghost World Office

The smile on Li Li's face was so gentle, like the sunshine after the snow in early spring, but at this moment, Tao Ye felt like the melted snow, sweat dripped down the hair on the back of his neck and slid into his body. collar.

"What are you doing?" Tao Ye asked Li Li in a deep voice.

The appearance of this sweating feeling was not because Tao Ye felt the scene in front of him was scary, but because Li Li's familiarity and strange scene were intertwined, which gave Tao Ye a great shock.

Li Li put the spool of thread in his hand next to the sewing machine, turned his back to Tao Ye, stared at the gray fabric ignited by the fire arrow for a while, and said:

"It's my job and my ideal to make the right clothes for the right people."

"Is it also your job and ideal to make innocent people disappear?" Tao Ye asked indifferently.The sense of astonishment just now was completely gone, and there was only a surging chill in Tao Ye's eyes.

Li Li turned his head and looked into Tao Ye's eyes, with a smile in his eyes:

"Mr. Tao, you are really different from before."

Tao Ye didn't speak, walked quickly to Li Li, stretched out his hand to strangle Li Li's throat, lowered his eyes to stare at Li Li's face that was rapidly flushed due to lack of oxygen, and exerted more force on his hands.

"Cough...you won't really strangle me." Li Li looked up at Tao Ye's chin, and made a sound from his throat with difficulty.

"Oh, you know again." Tao Ye chuckled in a low voice, and increased his strength a little.

Li Li was thin and had almost no strength to resist. He just silently looked at Tao Ye with his bloodshot eyes.

Tao Ye has not been violent to others for a long time, but Tao Ye has not become flustered or merciful because of this.After counting down a few times in his heart, Tao Ye suddenly let go of Li Li's hand.

To some extent, Tao Ye really didn't really want to kill Li Li.If Li Li was really the instigator of this disappearance, then Tao Ye was not sure that he could kill Li Li by himself.

Watching Li Li fall to the ground and gasping for breath, Tao Ye squatted down beside Li Li, imitating Li Li's soft tone, and asked him:

"Have you met me before?"

Li Li turned over, lay flat on the ground, rubbed the red skin on his neck pinched by Tao Ye, squinted his eyes and looked at Tao Ye:

"Like Lu Yi, I have been looking at you for a long time."

Hearing Lu Yi's name, Tao Ye frowned, but there was no emotion in his voice:

"what do you want?"

Li Li covered his face with his hands and laughed maniacally, his whole body trembled with his laughter.

In this chaotic laughter, the fabric around the sewing machine has been completely ignited, and countless filaments of regular force are floating in the rising smoke.

The fire spread extremely fast, and quickly attracted most of the fabrics in the studio.Under the stimulation of smoke and dust, Tao Ye had to cover his mouth and nose with regular force.But he knew he couldn't last long.

Li Li was still lying on the ground laughing maniacally, as if the surrounding fire had nothing to do with him.

"Madman." Tao Ye got up from the squatting position and looked down at Li Li.

Although Tao Ye has been able to use the power of fire proficiently, he still has some psychological shadows about being inside a burning building.

Facing the demented Li Li, Tao Ye found that his methods were not much better than the Dark Gate.Apart from threatening Li Li's life to end the scene, return the missing person, and tell the truth, Tao Ye seemed to have no other choice.

"Get up." Tao Ye raised his foot and kicked Li Li's arm, he didn't want to stay here any longer.

Li Li stopped laughing, and looked at Tao Ye with wide eyes, with no expression on his face: "Mr. Tao, you are scared."

Tao Ye frowned even more, saying that he was not afraid would be a lie, once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of well ropes for ten years, not to mention that Tao Ye died in a fire in his previous life.

But Tao Ye's mood didn't become flustered because his fear was noticed by Li Li. He didn't respond to Li Li's words, but just stared at Li Li's distorted eyes:

"You have no power of discipline."

"So what?" Li Li asked back, pulling the muscles at the corners of his mouth.

"It means that you are not an abnormal soul, nor a soul breeder, nor the soul of the Ghost Realm Administration. If you stay here any longer, you will be burned to death."

As if describing something that had nothing to do with him, Tao Ye said calmly.

"What if I am an existence other than these three souls?" Li Li's pupils were dilated, and the swaying fire light danced wantonly in his light brown eyes, like a poisonous snake, spitting out a message and threatening the creatures that approached. .

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the rising heat made the glass windows of the studio crackle.Tao Ye raised his eyes and glanced at the scene outside the window, and saw that Shen Zhu downstairs and the others had already discovered that the upstairs was on fire and were rushing upstairs.

"Our people are coming up." Tao Ye reminded coldly.

Li Li closed his eyes and hooked the corners of his lips.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his arms, as if to hug something, although directly above him was only the ceiling blackened by the smoke.

The fanatical believers finally prayed for a miracle, and the room instantly became cool.

To put it more bluntly, the space of this studio suddenly becomes vast.

The dense water enveloped Tao Ye's body. Tao Ye opened his eyes in the darkness and found himself in the water.There was no light in the water, but Tao Ye could vaguely see things around him.

This scene was exactly the same as Tao Ye's dream in Li Li's studio last time.

"I know you're here, come out." Tao Ye closed his eyes and said to the boundless darkness around him.

Before he finished speaking, Tao Ye felt a warm hand on his shoulder.Tao Ye opened his eyes, and the man in red who had appeared in his dream last time, who called himself Pneuma, was right in front of him.

Only this time, Punyuma's face was no longer blurred, and this face was clearly Li Li.

And behind Punyuma, a huge soul body emerged.

This soul body is composed of dozens of souls, and they are stitched together by something, like the largest group of bacteria in a bacterial petri dish.

Among these stitched souls, Tao Ye saw the struggling old Xu at a glance.

Old Xu's face and hands were sewn together with other souls, leaving only two feet dangling in the water.

The moment he saw Tao Ye, Lao Xu's eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior.Because his face was sewn up, Lao Xu couldn't call for help, he could only kick his legs like a frog about to be dissected.

"What the hell are you going to do?"

Tao Ye couldn't bear to look at Lao Xu's miserable situation, and slapped Punyuma's hand on his shoulder.

Pneuma smiled, looked back at the floating soul assembly, and asked:

"Let's not talk about this for now. Tao Ye, you haven't answered me yet. Which one is more real, dream or reality?"

Tao Ye hated this question very much. He didn't answer, but just stared at Pneuma's face coldly, and repeated his question just now:

"What the hell are you going to do?"

Punyuma looked at Tao Ye, like a loving grandmother looking at her grandson, tolerant and gentle. He tilted his head slightly, and his soft hair danced freely in the water:

"I just want to guide you on the right path."

"Okay," Tao Ye snorted coldly, the anger in his chest couldn't stop surging, "Then you can tell me what is the right way."

The water was silent, and behind Punyuma, every individual in the group of souls was struggling.

This struggle is silent, but it is like thousands of wild horses stepping across the wilderness at dawn, shaking everything.

"You and I are one thing, I am a god, and you are also a god. In other words, we are one..." Pneuma said.

Tao Ye interrupted Punyuma impatiently:

"Stop talking nonsense, you are you, I am me. I am not Vulcan, and you are not Vulcan. Vulcan is dead long ago."

Facing Tao Ye's emotions, Punyuma was very patient.He stepped back a little, and distanced himself from Tao Ye:

"Then why do you trust Lu Yi and not me?"

Tao Ye stalked, he didn't expect Punyuma to ask such a question.Subconsciously, Tao Ye retorted:

"I never believed him."

Punyuma smiled, looked at Tao Ye's cheeks with pity, and said softly:

"I said, I am you, and you are me. I can empathize with all your thoughts. Lu Yi was created by the God of Law, and the God of Law created Lu Yi with his memory, right?"

"Haven't you ever wondered whether Lu Yi is the God of Law, and what is their relationship?"

"Or have you ever wondered why you can create a brand new soul just by relying on one person's memory?"

It's not that Tao Ye didn't think about what Punyuma said, it's just that he was immersed in Lu Yi's scheme to kill him in his previous life, and he never carefully considered these deeper things.

"What do you want to say?" Tao Ye's whole body switched to alert mode. The water brushed against his skin like sharp knives, brushing his fine hair and flowing in an uncertain direction.

"There is no difference between me and Lu Yi. It's just that I was created by Shen An using Vulcan's memory. Since you believe in Lu Yi, why don't you trust me?"

Pneuma's voice is soft and tender, like candied fruit soaked in poison, deadly and seductive.

"Shen An?"

Tao Ye knew the name, it was Dan who told him about it.

Shen An is the master of the portal of darkness, and also the god of the soul-cultivator.In Tao Ye's previous cognition, Shen An is no different from the cult leader in the world.

Punyuma nodded slightly, raised her slender arms to her eyes, and looked at them carefully——

Covered in red, the skin of this body is as white as the snow in March. In the surging water, Pneuma's delicate bones are buried under the snow skin.

Everything looks so realistic, it doesn't look like a created existence at all.

"Yes, Shen An. Back then, I betrayed the God of Law together with Shen An and the other three gods. After being knocked down, Shen An collected my scattered memories and recreated me."

"Shen An was the water god back then." Punyuma said softly while admiring her body.
