You are not human

The dark creek is not clear, and you can see the roots of aquatic plants floating with the waves on the bottom of the sea. Standing by the river, Ao Jinyu has deep eyes and is eager to try.

Yin Bei turned to look at him: "What are you going to do?"

Without further ado, Ao Jinyu lifted up his clothes.

"Wait!" Yin Bei felt as if he was facing an enemy, and pulled back the hem of his clothes, and tugged at him with a vigilant face, "Why are you taking off your clothes!"

Ao Jinyu showed a perplexed expression, "Get down to the river!"

"I didn't bring a change of clothes, so I had to take them off first. Ah, are you going to be shy? How about you turn around first..."

Yin Bei closed his eyes and rubbed between his brows: "Dress!"

"Oh..." Ao Jinyu thought that it would not be a big deal to put on clothes and go into the water, anyway, he wouldn't catch a cold, so he turned around and planned to perform a beautiful golden dragon entering the water, and then Yin Bei grabbed the back of his neck .

Yin Bei pulled him, expressionless: "Do you have to go into the water to know what's inside?"

"Not necessarily." Ao Jinyu answered honestly, raised his head and smiled embarrassedly, "But I haven't been swimming for a long time, so I just wanted to..."

Yin Bei: "...I'll buy you a fish tank later, bear with it now."

Ao Jinyu probably heard "fish tank" as "bathtub" and suddenly cheered up: "Okay! That's fine for bubbles! Actually, I also think the water here is not very clean, so I don't particularly want to go down there!"

He turned his head excitedly, "Let me see the river..."

Xiao Jinlong fell silent.

Yin Bei turned his head and looked over. The stagnant water exuded a dark and dead air, which made people feel ominous no matter how they looked.

But he didn't see a water ghost, not a single one.

Ao Jinyu frowned slightly, looking a little sad: "Beibei...under this river, there are many bones."

"Most of them are children, and there are also adults, but most of them are many years ago. There are no recent ones. There should be no such manager."

"Isn't the ghost in the jar a cannibal?" Yin Bei lowered his eyes, "If Zhengxin really had something to do with the ghost in the jar, he probably wouldn't waste that manager's flesh and blood."

"It's strange that there are no bones from recent years. Most of them were fed to the ghost in the jar."

He glanced at Ao Jinyu, "How many years have people lived in this land? No matter what river or road, there are countless corpses buried under it. The important thing is whether people today repeat the same mistakes."

"Although the feng shui of this village is not good, I don't see any evil spirits. These bones are the ailments of the past, but not the present."

Ao Jinyu looked sideways at him and blinked slowly.

Yin Bei raised his eyebrows: "I want to ask how I know so well?"

"No." Ao Jinyu shook his head and couldn't help showing a little smile, "I just think that you are really a hard-talked person."

Yin Bei turned and left expressionlessly.

"Hey!" Ao Jinyu turned pale with shock, "Wait for me, Beibei!"

"The last bus will be in 15 minutes. Hurry up if you don't want to walk back." Yin Bei put his hands in his pockets, "I'm tired and want to go home and lie down. You can send the news to Director Huang, Daoshi Chen's It's easy to check his identity, and it will be even easier if his apprentice is on the same account as him."

Ao Jinyu responded, took out his mobile phone to send a message, and quickly chased after him.

After a while, the two got on the empty bus.

It was probably the first time for Ao Jinyu to take a bus, so he seemed a little foolish who had never seen the world, and looked left and right as if he couldn't sit still.

Yin Bei thought it was funny, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then closed his eyes - he didn't want to answer those curious baby-like questions, so let him look it up online.

Ao Jinyu raised his head and looked at the names of each station, tugged at the ring curiously, and then turned around excitedly: "Beibei!"

Yin Bei closed his eyes, leaned slightly on the seat, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

But Ao Jinyu immediately closed his mouth, stared at him for a while, and didn't make any movement.

On the bus that was driving steadily, the whistle sounded occasionally as if separated by a layer of fog, but Ao Jinyu didn't make a sound, he was staring at Yin Bei's face.

He had already commented on Yin Bei's face when he first met. He was used to seeing people first, and he would care less about his appearance.

At this moment, Yin Bei closed his eyes, and he realized belatedly that although he had a bad face, he was very good-looking.

Especially beautiful bones.

He usually looks impatient with people, so he looks bad-tempered and doesn't get close to others, but now he closes his eyes, his usual alienation and indifference subsides, and his paler complexion than ordinary people actually brings out a bit Fragile.

The slightly bumpy bus made people feel calm, but his heart was inexplicably beating so much that he was a little overwhelmed.

Ao Jinyu took this feeling as worry - he was worried that the young man in front of him would die at some point, just like his fate predicted.

He stared at his face, ready to move, and couldn't help but think, if the contours here were a little gentler and less sharp, if this bone went down a little...

When he reacted, his hand was already on Yin Bei's chin, and it seemed that he still wanted to rub his chin by two points.

Ao Jinyu: "..."

He was about to quietly retract his hand with a guilty conscience when Yin Bei suddenly opened his eyes.

The eyes of the young man in front of him were as dark as black stones, and they had just woken up from a dream without focus, and only after blinking did they light up with a restrained gleam.

Their eyes met, Ao Jinyu couldn't move.

Yin Bei was expressionless, raised his chin slightly, moved his face away from his hand, and seemed to be a little confused: "What are you doing?"

"I, I, I didn't mean that!" Ao Jinyu realized after a while, and the whole dragon quickly heated up, "I didn't want to touch you! Uh, not..."

He hurriedly explained, "It's me, although I touched it, but it didn't mean that!"

He blushed, not daring to meet Yin Bei's gaze, and seemed to want to shrink himself into a ball.

The driver in front glanced at them from the rearview mirror, Yin Bei: "..."

Obviously he touched me, why it seems like I touched him?

"Keep your voice down." Yin Bei frowned, "That's not what you mean by touching me?"

He'd like to see what justification the dragon could come up with.

Ao Jinyu hesitated for a moment, and said bravely: "You didn't breathe when you fell asleep, I was a little worried, so I took a look, and then..."

He whispered, "Then I looked at your face, and I thought, if here..."

He nodded Yin Bei's chin falsely, "If you can make it wider, you might live longer."

Yin Bei: "..."

If ordinary people use such an excuse, Yin Bei will probably not believe it, but if it is this dragon...

It's possible he could do it.

Yin Bei sneered: "Then according to what you say, I should go to the whole face?"

Ao Jinyu scratched his head: "No need...you look good now, and your fate will be hard to change the day after tomorrow, I just think about it."

Yin Bei looked away.

Ao Jinyu was quiet for a rare moment. He leaned forward on the back of the chair and tilted his head to look at Yin Bei.

Yin Bei was sitting by the window, and Ao Jinyu was sitting outside him. The dragon didn't know how to restrain his eyes and stared at him eagerly. Yin Bei pretended not to notice.

He turned his head slowly: "What do you see me doing?"

Ao Jinyu muffled his voice in his arms, as if he wanted to physically lower his voice in this way: "You actually know ghosts and gods, so you...know I'm not human?"

"En." Yin Bei responded, reached out and touched the dragon-shaped jade pendant around his neck, implying that he knew his identity.

Ao Jinyu smiled and rolled his eyes: "That's good."

"Actually, I still have a lot of secrets, but..."

He paused, "I want to tell you slowly."

Just as questions can be asked slowly, so can he say what he wants to say slowly.

Yin Bei lowered his eyes, he felt that the current atmosphere was a bit strange.

Whether it's the warm light outside the car window or the little golden dragon's clear gaze, he feels weird.

He changed the subject somewhat bluntly: "Did you send the message to Director Huang? Did he reply?"

"Sent it." Speaking of business, Ao Jinyu retracted his gaze, "I wanted to go back and tell you."

"Chen Laodao's name is Chen Feng. No one knew that he was dead, but the preliminary autopsy found that he had been dead for two months. The cause of death was a sudden cerebral infarction."

"There is also 'Zhengxin'. It is recorded in the household registration book that his name is 'Chen Zhengxin', but he is recorded. He died three months ago in a car accident."

Yin Bei thought quietly.

"There is a strange thing." Ao Jinyu rubbed his chin, "Do you still remember? We asked the villagers if they had seen Chen Zhengxin recently, and they said they hadn't."

"It's about the last month, but someone said that I saw it last month."

Ao Jinyu turned his head slowly, "But at that time, he should have died long ago."

This is really a topic that can send chills down one's spine on a hot summer day. Fortunately, Yin Bei is immune to this topic.

He lowered his eyes: "Ordinary people can't see ghosts, can they?"

"They can see Chen Zhengxin behind him. Did they hit a ghost together, or..."

"It's also possible that he has a corpse that can be seen by ordinary people." Ao Jinyu nodded seriously, "They wondered if he had become a zombie, but the corpse that died in a traffic accident showed no signs of being stolen, and it has been properly disposed of gone."

"So it's only possible that someone created his body for him."

Yin Bei spit out a name lightly: "Puppet Master."

"Yes, that's the man we met in the hospital! It's very likely that it has something to do with him!" Ao Jinyu showed a troubled look, "It's a pity we didn't catch him. I don't know where he hid."

Yin Bei couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth, unexpectedly having the urge to show off in front of him.

But he still endured it, just looked out of the window: "I will find it."

Because they had already asked enough questions, they were about to release this bait, and the Three Realms Mutual Aid Committee would definitely notice him, as well as the fish they wanted to catch.
