The anchor is dying every day [System]

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yuening bent down and picked up the puppet that was wriggling desperately on the ground, and gently placed it beside the dry bone.

After being placed on the ground, Xiao Huang put his head close to the withered bone wrist that was inlaid on the altar, as if he wanted to rub him.As a result, just as its head was close to the dry bone, the bone claw that the other party had been holding tightly loosened suddenly, and a round metal plate with a dull color fell out from it.

Xiao Yuening squatted down curiously, picked up the round card, and was surprised to find that it was actually a pet name tag.

I saw the word "bean bag" engraved in cute characters on the front of this brand, and there was a dog's head sticking out its tongue beside it.On the back, the words "Master's phone number: 135XXXXXXXX" are written.

Xiao Yuening turned his head and glanced at Xiao Huang, who was lying on his boned wrist, with a thoughtful expression.

Xiao Huang was still indifferent after seeing the dog tag. After dawdling on the skeleton for a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit a piece of the opponent's bone, and began to drag it out forcefully, as if he wanted to get the dry bone out of the altar. drag out.It's a pity that its strength is too weak, and after dragging for a long time, it still couldn't shake the vines wrapped around the dead bones, and instead woke the other party up.

Xiao Yuening watched the vine slowly squirm, and quickly reached out to grab Xiao Huang in his hand, so as not to let it disturb these things again.After squirming for a while, the vines seemed to be unable to find the source of the movement, and then became quiet again, slowly falling asleep.

Xiao Huang struggled wildly in Xiao Yuening's hands, as if he wanted to pounce on him again.

Xiao Yuening hurriedly stopped it again, and at the same time whispered: "Don't move, you will alarm them, let me come."

After listening to Xiao Yuening's words, the puppet in his hand quieted down obediently, and a pair of plastic eyes looked over eagerly, as if pleading.

Xiao Yuening reached out and placed Xiao Huang next to Xiao Hei, then rolled up his sleeves and walked lightly to the side of the bones wrapped around the altar.

The sleeping vines didn't know anything about his approach, so Xiao Yuening boldly approached him a little more, then imitated Xiao Huang's previous appearance, picked up a boned arm, and gently pulled it out... until it was entangled After the vines on this arm were disturbed, Xiao Yuening immediately kept quiet, even held his breath, and waited quietly.

Sure enough, after being unable to find the target, the vine became quiet again.

Xiao Yuening took the opportunity to move again, and when the vines woke up again, he held his breath to hide himself from being discovered... After repeating this several times, Xiao Yuening finally succeeded in inlaying the pair of unknown objects on the altar. The old skeletons were picked out bit by bit, and placed on the ground in order.

Little Huang couldn't wait to crawl to the side of the skeleton, and then lay down quietly, while the black cat squatted beside it curiously.

The moment Xiao Yuening successfully rescued the skeleton from the altar, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated slightly, as if new news had come in.

There is no signal in the Gate of Time and Space at all, and the only thing that can send him a message now is the damn app on his phone.

Xiao Yuening was afraid that he would miss some important information, so he reached out and took the phone out of his pocket almost the first second after the phone vibrated.

Turning on the phone, it was indeed a message from the app, but the content made Xiao Yuening a little dazed.

I saw it written on the phone interface:

"Congratulations on successfully rescuing Li Yaru, the 26th generation closed doorman. You will be rewarded with 10000 points and a special pill 'Soul Gathering Pill'. The dissipated soul makes it reincarnate.)”

Xiao Yuening was taken aback.

The 26th generation closed doorman?The owner of this skeleton is a close doorman who died on the way to the mission?

Li Yaru, from the name, seems to be a woman.

And this "Soul Gathering Pill" task reward, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the APP is specially set up for her.

And the other party has been trapped in this kind of place for many years, right?Being suppressed and consumed by the altar every day, she still hasn't lost her soul. Is it because APP did something when she died?

As members of the closed door, they often have to face all kinds of dangerous ghosts and members of the gate of hell. Most of them die miserably, and they are especially easy to be devoured by ghosts. They don't even have the chance to reincarnate after death. Xiao Yue Ning himself had encountered several ghosts who wanted to eat his soul.

It would be great if APP could really save the soul of the person who closed the door after death!

Xiao Yuening's identity as a closed-door person was inherited from his father. This girl named Li Yaru must have been one of the generations of closed-door people before his father, and her death time was definitely much longer than his father's.

If APP really has a way to keep Li Yaru's soul alive, then his father must be the same!

From the moment he realized that a person's soul after death can be devoured by ghosts like food, Xiao Yuening has been worrying deeply in his heart: Is his father's death purely physical?Or is it annihilated?

Usually he suppressed himself as much as possible, not allowing himself to think about the second possibility, only thinking that his father was an ordinary death, but the fear in his heart was still there.

But now seeing the information displayed on the phone, the worries hidden in his heart finally eased a little. I hope that the app can really save his father's soul.

After figuring it out, Xiao Yuening soon came to his senses.

He didn't hesitate too much, after receiving the reward, he put the Soul Gathering Pill into Li Yaru's damaged skull.Then, he grabbed Xiao Huang, who was still unable to hide his sadness, and dragged the black cat to hide away.

After the Soul Gathering Pill was placed in Li Yaru's skull, it quickly took effect.

Xiao Yuening saw that the pale dead bone on the ground quickly glowed brightly, and the warm light washed away the heavy lingering yin energy around it, making the area around the skeleton instantly clean and no longer surrounded by black mist.

After the bright light lasted for about a minute, after the light dimmed, a trembling soul slowly rose from the skeleton.

Xiao Yuening's eyes widened when he saw this, but the other party was too weak, his entire soul was almost transparent, he couldn't even see her face clearly, he could only see that the other party seemed to be looking towards him speak in the direction.

However, the voice was so soft that it seemed like a breeze blowing from the end of the sky, and it dissipated before it reached her ears, making it impossible to tell what she said.

At this time, Xiao Huang, who had been held by Xiao Yuening all this time, suddenly struggled and fell to the ground, and then crawled towards the direction of the transparent soul with difficulty.

Xiao Yuening saw that soul suddenly shed a tear, and then stretched out her hand as if to caress Xiao Huang's head, but when her almost transparent fingers touched the puppet's head, she lightly pierced through the puppet's body. past.

She looked a little regretful, and then raised her head to look in Xiao Yuening's direction, her mouth opened and closed slightly, as if she was saying something to him again.

However, Xiao Yuening didn't understand lip language, and after reading it for a long time, he could only vaguely guess some words such as "be careful", "the gate of hell", "the gate of time and space".

He guessed that the other party wanted to remind him about the gate of hell. Although he couldn't hear the other party's words clearly, he still thanked him earnestly: "Thank you, I will be careful."

The girl nodded, then suddenly pointed to the dog tag in Xiao Yuening's hand, opened her mouth lightly and said something.

Xiao Yuening was a little confused, so the other party pointed to the dog tag in his hand, then pointed to Xiao Huang who was looking at her eagerly on the ground, and said something.

After finishing these words, her soul became more and more transparent as if she couldn't hold it anymore, and it was almost on the verge of dissipating again.

She didn't dare to stay for a long time, and stretched out her palm to "touch" Xiao Huang's head twice, and then her whole body turned into a white spot of light, reluctantly going away.

Xiao Huang jumped up and down twice, as if trying to catch up with her, but before turning around, it suddenly saw Xiao Yuening who was standing quietly by the side.

Seeing him looking at him, Xiao Huang suddenly stopped in the footsteps of following the girl, hesitating on the spot with a look of hesitation.

However, in the second or two of its hesitation, Li Yaru's soul has completely escaped from the gate of time and space, and went to where she should go.

Xiao Huang's furry face showed an expression of unspeakable sadness, lying on the ground without moving.

Xiao Yuening sighed, stepped forward and picked it up from the ground, lightly patted the ashes on its body, and comforted him, "Don't worry, you will get together again sooner or later."

Xiao Huang still didn't respond.

Xiao Yuening put it back into his pocket, and then continued with what he should do.

After quickly smashing the inner core, Xiao Yuening took the black cat who took a large vine in its mouth in a panic, and ran all the way in the direction it came from, and finally managed to escape from the inside before the world inside the door completely collapsed. come out.

Qiao Mengmeng was already waiting outside the door. After seeing them escape from the door in embarrassment, one person and one cat, the door of time and space disappeared out of thin air. Staring at Xiao Yuening who kept panting heavily: "What did you do? Why did the space inside suddenly collapse? Why did the door disappear?"

Hearing her questioning tone, Xiao Yuening's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't help but clenched the Hades' Whip in his hand, and secretly became alert in his heart: "...What do you want?"

Before, he only thought that the other party was familiar with him, but he forgot that no matter how young the little girl in front of him was when she died, she was still a fierce ghost with hard resentment.

It's a ghost, so there's no one who doesn't covet the power of the Gate of Time and Space.

Seeing his defensive face, Qiao Mengmeng froze for a moment, then her little face collapsed, and she put on a weeping expression: "I just want to ask, Brother Ningning, why are you so fierce?"

Xiao Yuening didn't relax his vigilance towards her because of this, he still tightly held the Hades whip in his hand, and warned: "One of my missions in coming to L City is to destroy this gate of time and space. If you think Occupying it, then I advise you to give up on it. First, you will not be the opponent of the original owner of this door. Second,..."

Knowing that he would never be able to scare this brat away by himself, Xiao Yuening promptly mentioned Su Yi's name: "Secondly, you can't beat Su Yi."

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Yi's name, Qiao Mengmeng's face turned green.

She hid most of her face behind the doll, as if she cursed an ugly word in a low voice.

But soon, the doll in her hand seemed to think of something. A pair of eyeballs made from the owner's body rolled around, and her mouth opened and closed without making a sound, as if she was having some kind of silent conversation with Qiao Mengmeng. dialogue.

After "listening" to what it said, Qiao Mengmeng's expression changed, and she immediately said to Xiao Yuening with a smile like a flower: "Brother Ningning, I actually wanted to ask you when I was in the town of ghosts—you have been looking for the gate of time and space. , right? Do you want to close all the doors? The black robes who caught me are the same as the two weirdos in Shade Town, they are the gates of hell. Not only do you want to close the doors, but you also want to deal with them, Right?"

Xiao Yuening narrowed his eyes slightly. When he was in Shadow Town, the little devil's head in front of him was caught by two people from Hell's Gate. When he pressed those two about Hell's Gate, the other party was also there.

Basically, what Xiao Yuening knew, the other party almost already knew.

But the little girl was very clever at the time and chose to just listen and not to ask. She kept her mouth shut and said nothing, which made him think that the other party was too young to understand what they were talking about.

But now it seems that she is as clear as a mirror in her heart.

Xiao Yuening: "Why are you asking this?"

Qiao Mengmeng: "I want to help you!"

Xiao Yuening raised his eyebrows: "Help me?"

Qiao Mengmeng smiled and nodded: "That's right! You alone... Even with that annoying ghost king, how can it be so easy to deal with an organization? So, I decided to come to work for you and be your helper !"

Xiao Yuening remained unmoved: "What about the conditions?"

Qiao Mengmeng giggled twice, hugged the doll in her arms tightly, "looked" at Xiao Yuening with a pair of empty eye sockets, and said: "The condition is that you promise me that I will devour a door !"

Xiao Yuening rubbed the fingers of the handle of Hades Whip, thinking: This little girl really knows that the ghost king can directly devour the gate of time and space!Even if she couldn't understand their conversation at that time, as long as she remembered it carefully, and after seeing the power of the gate of time and space with her own eyes... would she still be unable to understand what they were talking about at that time?

Xiao Yuening lowered his eyes, carefully thinking about the other party's suggestion, analyzing various pros and cons.

After a while, he raised his head again, and said lightly: "I can promise you. But I want to remind you of one thing first: it is not that simple to devour the core of the gate of time and space. Even if it is A powerful ghost king, after swallowing a core, he also has a high chance of being unable to bear the strong yin energy in the core, causing his soul to be scattered. Not to mention that you are not even a ghost king, just a ghost .”

When Qiao Mengmeng heard this, the smile on her face stopped, and a trace of fear appeared on her pale face.

But the ghost's natural desire for power made her unwilling to give up, so she raised her head and said forcefully, "You don't need to worry about it, you just need to remember what you promised me!"

Xiao Yuening nodded, as expected, he didn't care.

But he recalled how cunning this little girl was. In order not to be taken advantage of, he could only declare to Qiao Mengmeng his rights as an employer, and the labor and obligations she should pay as a wage earner.

Xiao Yuening: "I can promise to leave you the core of a gate of time and space, but whether you can swallow it or not depends on your own ability. Other than that, you have to listen to me in your future actions." Command—Where I go, you have to go there; when I am doing tasks, you have to help me; when I am in danger, you have to rescue me. And once I find that you are not working hard If you only want to take benefits but are unwilling to pay risks, then the agreement between us will be automatically voided."

Qiao Mengmeng curled her lips in disdain, and said calmly, "Got it!"

Xiao Yuening nodded, and added with a smile: "Don't play tricks, Su Yi will always supervise you."

Qiao Mengmeng's face turned pale all of a sudden, she hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the core of the gate of time and space, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

Only then did Xiao Yuening secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Unexpected harvest, I didn't expect to find a powerful subordinate when I came to L City.Now that Su Yi fell into a deep sleep because of being severely injured by two ghost kings, Qiao Mengmeng's appearance was just a timely rain for him.

Although her strength was not comparable to the real ghost king, he remembered that when they were in the town of ghosts, the two envoys once said that Qiao Mengmeng's strength was only half a step away from the ghost king.

At that time, the two even wanted to catch her and present her as a gift, but they were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Xiao Yuening and Su Yi.

After Xiao Yuening and Qiao Mengmeng reached an agreement, they planned to leave Liu's villa first.

It's just that he was just about to step up the steps leading to the exit of the basement, but the black cat and Qiao Mengmeng behind him jumped in front of him at the same time, preventing him from moving.

Xiao Yuening paused and had to stop.

At this time, both Qiao Mengmeng and the black cat were all looking at the door above their heads in unison, their faces full of vigilance and defense, as if something terrible was hidden outside the door at this moment.

The basement fell into a silence that could be heard falling needles. Xiao Yuening reached out to caress the Hades whip on his waist, and then looked up at the wooden door above the steps.Slightly erecting his ears, he used his hearing to the extreme.

Soon, he heard the imperceptible noises coming from outside the basement door.

The sound was extremely soft and thin, like the sound of breathing, with a rustling sound similar to that made when clothes rubbed against each other.

If Xiao Yuening hadn't exchanged the Nether Ear's skill, it would be impossible for him to hear such a small movement when he was separated by a door with excellent sound insulation.

There are people hiding outside the door, and there are more than one.

Xiao Yuening's heart was pounding with nervousness, and the hand holding the handle of the whip was slightly damp with sweat.

Could it be that the people at the gate of hell discovered his trail and ambushed outside the gate on purpose?

After confronting each other through the door panel for a long time, the people ambushing outside the door seemed to become a little anxious because they hadn't seen Xiao Yuening and the others for a long time.

Xiao Yuening heard a strange sound approaching the door quietly, as if something wanted to break in.

After realizing this, he winked at Qiao Mengmeng and Xiao Hei, and the three of them quickly dispersed into the darkness.

Soon, the door above the steps above the head made a slight "click", the door lock twisted, and the door was gently opened from the outside, and a distorted figure came in from the gap in the door, and looked around. looking around.

Xiao Yuening was hiding behind the coffin at this time, exposing one eye and looking out from the shadow of the coffin, he saw a monster with a distorted posture on the steps leading from the basement to the first floor, walking down the steps into the basement climb.

This thing looks extremely strange. It has a head, a neck, a torso, and five sense organs. It looks very human, but it is very different from humans.

Its torso was slender, skinny, and the spine on its back protruded clearly from the flesh, like a bone whip implanted in flesh.But on such an awkward and ugly torso, there are eight slender limbs that can't be distinguished whether they are arms or legs, allowing it to crawl slowly on the steps like some kind of arthropod.

As the monster crawled, it kept shaking its long dirty and messy hair.

None of the features on its face are in the right place, and its eyes are set apart, like a catfish.And it spits out a forked tongue dripping saliva from its big and wide mouth, which looks like a snake core.As it crawled, its tongue dragged a wet water stain on the steps, looking extremely slippery...

Xiao Yuening covered his mouth in disgust.

He had sharp facial features, even though the monster was still a short distance away from him at this time, he still smelled the stench coming out of the other party's mouth, which made him want to vomit.

Beside him, the black cat seemed to be frightened by the ugly and weird appearance of this thing, and shrank back in fear, not daring to peek again.

Qiao Mengmeng was hiding at the other end of the coffin. After she saw what was coming, the expression on her face instantly became very ugly, and there was even a faint look of fear in her expression.

Qiao Mengmeng, who can make a half-step ghost king, feel fear in her heart, and she doesn't think about anything but the ghost king.

Xiao Yuening's heart sank, knowing that Liu Ping'an must have known that his lair had been infiltrated through some method, so he rushed back early.

Maybe he is hiding outside the door right now, quietly waiting for the results of the battle in the basement.

The monster slowly climbed down the steps. It didn't stay where it was, but crawled towards the black coffin in the center of the basement with a clear goal. It seemed that it already knew where the enemy was hiding.

The distance was so close that Xiao Yuening didn't dare to look again for fear of being discovered. He heard the monster crawling closer and closer, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't help dripping down his forehead.

He has even formed the Taiji seal on his hand, just waiting for the monster to approach slowly and give it a fatal blow.

Gradually, the stench in the nasal cavity became stronger and stronger.

The sound of rustling and crawling came from my ears, and it was getting closer and closer, as if it was already close at hand.

Xiao Yuening couldn't bear it anymore, he jumped out from behind the coffin, and without saying a word, he swiped the Tai Chi Heart Seal, which had already been handprinted, in the direction of the voice: "Tai Chi Heart Seal, go!"

In an instant, a bright and dark yin-yang fish pattern burst out of his body, carrying an incomparable momentum, and struck towards the direction he pointed.

After a loud bang of "Boom," countless cement bricks were blown away on the walls of the basement, creating a cloud of smoke mixed with dust.

After the smoke cleared, there was only a huge crater in the shape of Tai Chi left on the wall, but there was no sign of a monster.

"Crack clap..."

Before Xiao Yuening had time to look around for traces of the monster, he heard the screeching sound of nails scratching the wall, and the sound came from the top of his head.

At the same time, a little girl's voice called: "Watch out! It's coming down!"
