New Times, New Hell

After solving the app promotion problem at Minan's reincarnation site, Yu Zhengdu went to Shang Que to ask for leave, and said, "Boss, I want to apply to return to the company two days late."

Shang Que frowned: "What's the matter?"

Yu Zhengdu: "A classmate of mine from Minan is getting married, please invite me to the wedding."

It turned out that there was a classmate in their class who was originally from Minan's side. He recently got married and decided to hold a banquet in his hometown. Because it was far away from Fucheng, he didn't invite his classmates from the university to participate. The original plan was to return to Fucheng and invite another classmate to have dinner together. Forget it.

But a few days ago when we were chatting in the group, the classmate accidentally knew that Yu Zhengdu was on a business trip in Minan, so he sent him an invitation. It was unreasonable, so as soon as the matter at hand was dealt with, I came to ask Shang Que for leave.

Shang Que didn't agree immediately after listening, instead he glanced at Yu Zhengdu out of the corner of his eye, and his tone was a little subtle for some reason: "Your classmate got married very early."

"That's the girlfriend he's been dating since college. We've been dating for several years, and he planned to get married right after graduation." Yu Zhengdu's tone was more subtle than Shang Que's, "It's really enviable."

Shang Que said tentatively: "Are you envious?"

"Of course I'm envious." Yu Zhengdu said sourly, "Single programmers don't have a meeting, especially handsome programmers like me, who are really easy to be accidentally injured."

Shang Que was puzzled: "Accidentally hurt what?"

"Well, when my classmate sent me the invitation, he said to reserve two places for me to bring my partner with me." Yu Zhengdu said angrily, "Although he didn't mean it, but as a sensitive single dog , I feel like I've been ridiculed, I'm here on a business trip, whoever takes a partner with him on a business trip, I can bring one with me, boss."

Shang Que's eyes fluttered: "If you want to take me there, then I will go."

Yu Zhengdu didn't finish his complaint, and was taken aback when he heard Shang Que's words: "...huh?"

He was about to ask the boss if his comprehension was too distorted, when Shang Que said to himself: "It just so happens that my schedule for the past two days is not very tight, so I can balance it out, and it's okay to accompany you to a wedding banquet."

He looked at Yu Zhengdu with a curious look on his face: "It seems that you have to give a red envelope to participate in the wedding in Yangjian. If we go together, should we give one red envelope or two red envelopes?"

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

The boss has already arranged the itinerary clearly. If he refuses, maybe he will have to start researching the recipes that he can make in his next life.

Yu Zhengdu smiled slightly: "A red envelope is enough, I will give it."

The classmate who just got married asked him in the class:

Jia Yihua: [@宇仙渡, are you sure you can come to the wedding?Are you coming by yourself or with someone? 】

Zhang Qingqing: [? ? ? ?Am I missing something?Do you have someone to fight for? 】

Jia Yihua: [Assuming there is one. 】

Classmate A: [You speak clearly, you scared me to death, and almost shed tears for those little junior sisters who haven't given up yet]

Classmate B: [Just thinking about my junior sister, where did you put the fifty CPs that Zhengdu put! 】

Yu Zhengdu: […]

Yu Zhengdu: [I'll bring someone there, but it's not the target, it's my boss]

classmates:【…………………………】

classmates:【? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

Zhang Qingqing: [I'm not mistaken, am I?Zhengdu wants to bring his boss to Yihua's wedding? 】

Zhu Yan: [Is there something wrong with my comprehension ability?The boss of Zhengdu = object?do you mean this? 】

Yu Zhengdu: [==What are you guys thinking, it just so happens that my boss is also in Minan, and I have time, so I just said that I want to go together]

Zhu Yan: [emmmmm, I'm very, very, absolutely sure that even if my boss has time to kill flies at home, he won't go to the wedding with me]

Classmate A: [Speaking of which, I remember that there were cp posts about Zhengdu and his boss on the school forum]

Classmate B: [More than that, they are all officially appointed on Weibo, ceoX senior, beautiful cp, didn't you go to ceo's Weibo and shout "It's true"? 】

Zhang Qingqing: [raise your hand. jpg, I surrender, I shouted! 】

Yu Zhengdu: [...you guys secretly tapped my cp behind my back? ? 】

Classmate A: [Nonsense, we obviously met face to face]

Classmate B: [@宇正渡, so, you are going to tell us now, have we got it real? 】

Yu Zhengdu: [...0.0 You are thinking too much! 】

Zhang Qingqing: 【How can we think too much?Obviously the CEO himself has also acquiesced! 】

Yu Zhengdu: [What? 】

Zhang Qingqing: [screenshot.jpg]

Yu Zhengdu clicked on the screenshot and saw that it was a message from a netizen on Shang Que's Weibo before: [CEO also send a photo of your boyfriend]

The following is Shang Que’s reply: @今天听做奥神: No post

Zhang Qingqing: [See, the CEO has defaulted to the term "boyfriend", tsk tsk tsk]

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

Yu Zhengdu looked up at Shang Que in a strange mood, just in time Shang Que looked over and asked him, "You don't have any red envelopes with you, do you? Should we go out and buy some?"

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

I don't know if he was influenced by his classmates, but now he feels that the boss seems to be a little too active?

But if he asked, he really couldn't ask. After all, the boss didn't seem to show that he wanted to pursue him?Wouldn't it be too silly to ask yourself the initiative?

Yu Zhengdu thought for a while, and decided to observe again, then nodded: "Then let's go out to buy red envelopes now, and take a stroll."

……

Yu Zhengdu came to Minan for the first time, thinking that he could take the time to look around, so he went to the pedestrian street in the city center with Shang Que.

Yu Zhengdu tentatively asked Shang Que while walking: "Speaking of which, boss, you have lived for so long, have you ever been in love before?"

"Do you want to know this?" Shang Que looked at Yu Zhengdu out of the corner of his eye, with a meaningful tone.

Yu Zhengdu: "...Isn't this a small talk?"

Shang Que pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "In the past, many fairies and female ghosts in the Three Realms have pursued me..."

Yu Zhengdu: "Then you?"

Shang Que gave him a "don't worry" look: "I didn't even agree."

Yu Zhengdu: Eye cracking failed again!

Shang Que paused, as if he had made up his mind, and added: "But now, I can consider it..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yu Zhengdu pointing across the road: "There is a stationery store there, which should sell red envelopes, just stand here and wait for me, I'll go and buy them and I'll be back."

Before Shang Que could react, Yu Zhengdu had already ran out, nimbly avoiding the crowds all over the street and rushing to the opposite side of the road, and he couldn't even see his back after a while.

Shang Que: "...Oh."

Yu Zhengdu bought a stack of red envelopes from a stationery store and was about to run back across the road when he turned around and saw a local milk tea shop next to him. After thinking about it, he turned into the shop again and took the menu card Take a picture and send it to Shang Que.

Yu Zhengdu: [Boss, what do you want to drink? 】

Shang Que was in a daze, but when he suddenly received this message from Yu Zhengdu, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes unconsciously.

My poor boss: [this, this and this. 】

Yu Zhengdu: [...Do you want three cups? 】

My poor boss: [Well, more sugar, more pearls. 】

Yu Zhengdu: [...OK]

The customer flow of the milk tea shop was not bad. Yu Zhengdu waited for a while before coming out with four cups of milk tea. Because there were too many things, he had to change hands. As a result, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind just after changing hands. .

"My friend, you dropped something." A deep voice said.

Yu Zhengdu turned his head, and saw a man wearing sunglasses and a mask handing over a stack of red envelopes.

"Oh, thank you." Yu Zheng Watanabe said as he took the red envelope bag, but just two steps away, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The stack of red envelopes he bought was originally wrapped in transparent plastic paper, but the one just now In the stack that was handed to him, there was one that was placed alone on top.

Yu Zhengdu was puzzled, so he picked up the separate red envelope and looked at it. The opening of the red envelope was open. As soon as he picked it up, a piece of yellow paper floated out of the red envelope.

The paper was light and thin, and it couldn't be seen what kind of material it was. There were some strange red patterns painted on it.

Yu Zhengdu frowned, bent his head and looked at the yellow paper. The pattern on the paper looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He got closer and closer, and finally saw the pattern clearly. At this moment, he The deep voice came from behind him again: "Yu Zhengdu."

"Who are you?" Yu Zhengdu turned his head subconsciously, just facing the face of the man just above. He was still wearing a mask, but his sunglasses were taken off, revealing a pair of sharp eagle-like eyes, looking at him coldly. with him.

Yu Zhengdu's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, he finally remembered that the yellow paper was clearly a guiding sign given to him by Shang Que after Fan Li's surrogate death incident.

He withdrew his expression, stared at the person in front of him, and said in a calm voice, "Jiang."

There was a little smile in the other party's eyes: "You are quite smart."

Yu Zhengdu stared at him closely, he knew that he was not smart enough.

Jiang is a ghost.

He was just screaming.

As for himself who took the guide talisman, he subconsciously complied with his words.

***

When Yu Zhengdu woke up, he found himself standing in a wilderness.

The night was dark, and the moon was half covered by dark clouds, revealing only a half circle of dense white light. He turned his head and looked around, and saw an endless wilderness on the left, and a vague forest on the right. There are dots of light shining out, faint blue, pale, revealing a creepy coldness.

A small river came out of the woods, crossed the wilderness, and flowed into the distance. The water was dark and quiet. If you don't listen carefully, you can hardly hear the sound of water.

Yu Zhengdu stood for a while before his head gradually came to his senses, and the scene before he lost consciousness slowly came to mind.

Guides, ghosts shouting souls.

So now, he should be a soul.

He looked down at himself, and found that he seemed no different from when he was alive, even holding the four cups of milk tea in his hand.

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

After working in Luo Feng for so long, he naturally knows that after death, the soul will be the same as before dying, with the same clothing, posture and supplies, otherwise there would probably be naked ghosts floating everywhere in the underworld, but he really didn't expect that, Even the milk tea he was holding could be brought along with the soul.

He thought for a while, and took out the phone from his pocket. Now this phone is also the underworld version. He wanted to call Shang Que, but when he looked at the phone, the battery was still half, but there was no signal at all.

Yu Zhengdu sighed, not surprised at all, just looking at the surrounding environment, it is obviously an undeveloped no-man's land, but he doesn't know where it is.

On the left is a vast wilderness, with no end in sight at a glance, and there is no point in walking through it, and on the right is a forest that looks a little dangerous. To be honest, if he had a choice, he would definitely not go into it.

But right now he has no choice but to stand still and wait.

Yu Zhengdu thought for a while, then turned around slowly, carrying four cups of dangling milk tea, walked slowly into the woods along the small black river.

Unexpectedly, the forest is not as dark as it looks from the outside, and those faint fire lights scattered on the branches, barely illuminating the outline of the forest.

What's strange is that although those fires were shining brightly, they didn't have any heat. Instead, they were cold, and there was no sign of burning the branches at all.

Yu Zhengdu quickly came to a conclusion that these should be the legendary will-o'-the-wisps.

And a forest with a lot of will-o'-the-wisps may not be as simple as an undeveloped no-man's land.

Yu Zhengdu's thoughts turned, after that Jiang called his soul, why didn't he arrest him, but put him here?

In other words, after Jiang coaxed those wicked people to find someone to die in place of death, all the souls he called away were also put here?

Shang Que said before that after the success of surrogate death, those who find someone to replace the dead can escape reincarnation, and this place is not well-developed in the world, and the underworld is not available. If Jiang put those ghosts here, it would really be called God knows ghosts Unconsciously.

So what is he going to do now?Can Shang Que find him?Can he still go back?

Yu Zhengdu was in a trance when suddenly there was a sound of "Wow——" followed by the sound of the tide tumbling, which shocked him a lot.

Yu Zhengdu's feet almost slipped, so he quickly took two steps back and looked into the river.

Seeing that faint black river suddenly churning, the black water rose into the sky and splashed into the air.

Amidst the black waves, a huge black shadow like a hill emerged from the river, and then hit the shore with a loud "boom--", shaking the ground under Yu Zhengdu's feet trembling.

Yu Zhengdu clenched his hands into fists, his whole heart was almost at the level of his throat, his eyes were fixed on the huge black shadow in front of him, and he was ready to run away immediately if something went wrong.

...if you can escape.

I saw the black figure slowly raised his head, his head was huge, and Yu Zhengdu could only see his strangely big eyes in the slight reflection of the will-o'-the-wisp.

The other party was also looking at him.

Yu Zhengdu silently took a step back, preparing to run away.

Then, I heard the other party say, "Do you have something to eat?"

The voice was high-pitched and thin, as if it was trying to come out from a hole.

Yu Zhengdu: "...?"

While he was hesitating, the black shadow slowly approached, and only then did Yu Zhengdu see the other person's appearance clearly.

I saw that he was covered in blue skin, with a fat and big belly, like a small mountain bag. On top of his huge body was an equally huge head and equally terrifyingly large facial features.

His huge eyes moved down slowly, and finally landed directly on the milk tea in Yu Zhengdu's hand, and said in a thin voice: "I can smell it, it's the smell of food, it's delicious food."

Yu Zhengdu was finally sure at this moment that this strange ghost had no intention of attacking him. To be honest, what the other party was really interested in was the milk tea in his hand, not him.

Yu Zhengdu thought for a while, then slowly brought up the milk tea, and said, "If you want, I can give this to you."

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words came out, the other party suddenly burst into tears: "What's the use of you giving me! I can't eat anymore!"

Black tears rolled out of his big copper bell-like eyes, if it wasn't for his terrible appearance, he would really look a bit pitiful.

Yu Zhengdu didn't know why he touched his nerves, and couldn't help worrying whether the other party would attack him in anger, and quickly asked, "Why can't you eat it?"

"Look at my throat!" The ghost approached angrily with its mouth wide open, pointed at its own throat and said, "Do you understand a needle mouth hungry ghost? How can you eat with a throat as big as a needle!"

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

I saw that his voice was extremely small, so small that it was almost invisible, which may be the reason why his voice was so strange.

Yu Zhengdu stared at the opponent's throat for a while, then looked down at his own size, and then he let out a long breath: "Then I don't worry, you shouldn't be able to eat me."

Needle-mouthed ghost: "..."

The author has something to say: Shang Que: Where is my milk tea?No, what about my partner?

The Needle-Mouth Hungry Ghost: Is it a human?

Yu Zhengdu: Not anymore┓(?′?`?)┏
