Chapter 159 Necklace

After listening to Wen Chong's words, Tu Lanxun finally felt relieved.

Although the Tourism Administration was caught off guard, it had very complete contingency plans. It is now fighting for territory with the ghosts in Lucheng, and the battle line is advancing. It is estimated that Lucheng will be completely taken back before dawn tomorrow.

Lucheng residents have received text message and phone reminders and are gathering at disaster prevention points in each area, where government workers will distribute food, water, and daily necessities.

Now, the denser the gathering of living people, the more difficult it will be for the ghosts to strike, fearing the strict Fourth Treaty.

After Tu Lanxun told Wenchong the folk method of half-closing the Yin-Yang eyes that the toothless ghost had told her, Wenchong then told her the results of the interrogation of the old ghost Tan Ming and the group of little ghosts.

"Tan Ming was the vanguard of this ghost invasion. He collected and nurtured all those little ghosts." Wen Chong paused, then spoke with difficulty on the other end of the line, "He also secretly killed some of them."

"Why do we need to use little ghosts specifically?" Tu Lanxun was puzzled. In reality, there is no saying that little ghosts are more resentful and ferocious, and their power is not necessarily stronger than that of big ghosts.

"Influence the enemy's emotions and thoughts." Wen Chong replied, "Whether it's a ghost or someone who can see ghosts, show some mercy to children."

However, the little ghosts under Tan Ming were not truly children. They were only in their teens when they died, but they had actually been dead for five to over ten years. They possessed the minds of adults.

Tu Lanxun continued to ask, "What about Principal Wei? Why did he commit suicide? What happened to Sun Zhongyi?"

Wen Chong seemed to be talking to someone on the other end of the phone for a few words before turning back to Tu Lanxun and saying, "That elementary school is probably the first base for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth plan, used to control the parents through the children—and Experimental Elementary's parents hold many high-ranking officials—so when Tan Ming and Sun Zhongyi were preparing to occupy the school early in the morning, they happened to run into Principal Wei, who had arrived early for work."

Tu Lanxun had long known Principal Wei's character. He was a strict test-taker. Although he was ambitious and enterprising, his principles were relatively clear. He wanted to make progress through outstanding work. He was the type of person who had selfish motives and was hated by others, but his overall direction would not deviate.

So at this stage when everyone has the ability to see ghosts and gossips, when Principal Wei saw Tan Ming and Sun Zhongyi about to do that, it was tantamount to telling him two things.

First, they were two thugs who were planning to kidnap the entire school.

Second, if a primary school student is injured, it will be considered a mass incident and a super-serious accident in a teaching facility, and the candidate will be disqualified from the evaluation for the next three years.

So out of humanitarianism and resentment at his cut short future, Principal Wei resolutely resisted and eventually died at the hands of Tan Ming.

Teacher Liu was not in trouble, probably because she was particularly nice to Sun Zhongyi in her daily life. On the other hand, the hanging scene also needed witnesses, so she was let off.

Tu Lanxun was silent for a long time after listening to this, and then asked questions one by one, "Is Nanlu awake? How is he?"

"He's almost awake." Wen Chong said, "We've discovered that the mechanism behind Nanlu's coma is somewhat similar to the explosive in Tan Mingling's body, and we're working on cracking it and treating it."

Tu Lanxun felt relieved. "Okay, I'll hang up first. The development zone is ready. Any non-dangerous ghosts from your area can be accommodated with me."

Wen Chong and Li Ao's previous attention and cultivation of Tu Lanxun have finally proven his value. The development zone played a crucial role in this battle, which is a happy thing for both parties.

Wen Chong said, "By the way, go to Xiaguang Road in the Development Zone at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and wait for someone. I have something for you."

Xiaguang Road is a road on the edge of the development zone, and further inside is the city. Tu Lanxun thought Wenchong wanted to send some equipment to help defend the development zone, so he agreed.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on things tonight."

Tu Lanxun hung up the phone and called a small meeting with the convenience store ghost, the old patrol, the toothless tree tribe ghost, and the ghost bandit leader. Everyone expressed their willingness to participate in tonight's defense activities.

"You should go get some rest." The computer ghost said, "You have really dark circles under your eyes."

Mikhail nodded: "Yes, if there is anything we can call you directly, don't silence your phone."

Tu Lanxun had indeed been working non-stop for a long time, and his sleep ability was probably about to evolve away. So, the ghosts pushed him up to the third floor. Suoniya swam up with her tail swung, blatantly passed N, leaned over and whispered in Tu Lanxun's ear, "I'll keep an eye on that silly second brother. I guarantee you'll sleep until tomorrow morning and get a confession."

Tu Lanxun laughed, thanked Sonia, and returned to his home on the third floor with N.

The house was still tidy, and the robot vacuum was working diligently on the floor. For the first time, N didn't rush into the bathroom to find a rag, but sat directly on the sofa.

He looked at Tu Lanxun, patted the seat next to him, and invited her expectantly.

Tu Lanxun sat down, feeling N beside her like a steep, cold mountain, yet warm and reliable under the dim light. She mentally yawned, then leaned over to sit down. Then, N was embraced from behind, a feeling of peace of mind.

She is the one who is described as shy. With a whoosh, the Tu Lanxun hit N's side, and she hugged N's waist like a wrestler, burying her face precisely in N's chest.

N's eyebrows twitched, and he let go of Tu Lanxun's shoulders. The black leather gloves moved up inch by inch, finally covering the back of Tu Lanxun's head. He pressed inward, and Tu Lanxun's head bounced with the thickness of N's chest muscles.

So boring...but so cool...

Tu Lanxun's mouth curled up wildly in N's arms, and she used her businessman's instinct to squeeze out profits. She rubbed her face hard, and the deep and elegant fragrance of grass and trees filled her nose. She tried to bite the shirt button on N's chest with her front teeth.

That's too much.

N felt a coolness on his chest, and he wanted to pull Tu Lanxun's head off his body. However, Tu Lanxun was as strong as if it were covered with super glue. He could only sigh resignedly, lean his head back on the sofa and look at the sky, letting Tu Lanxun do whatever he wanted.

"Do you want to get under my clothes?" N's slender neck was bent into an angle, his Adam's apple protruded into an almost broken arc, and his voice was low and hoarse.

He felt his heart transform into a vast expanse of fertile land, while Tu Lanxun was the groundhog that insisted on digging a hole. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was the ghost. He was the evil ghost, for sure, but who exactly was the lustful ghost?

Tu Lanxun said in a diligent voice: "I want to get inside your chest cavity, use your sternum and ribs as shutters, stay safely inside and look out. Wherever you go, I will go."

"That sounds pretty perverted," N commented.

Tu Lanxun retracted his teeth and spat at N's chest: "Don't you like it?"

N said sincerely, "I love it very much."

Tu Lanxun was a little tired from playing, but N had no intention of joining her again. This time she really yawned, leaned on N's shoulder, and N helped her adjust to a more comfortable position.

In a daze, Tu Lanxun heard himself say in a very clear voice: "Can I ask you a question?"

N: "Ask."

Tu Lanxun sang in a clear and melodious voice: "Are you impotent?"

She felt the N brand cushion tremble violently, blowing her pajamas away a little. N's voice sounded extremely cold: "I am very healthy."

However, he held her hand very gently, placed her hand on his leg, and did not allow her to move. He stroked her palm gently with his fingers, as if to comfort but also to torture.

"Oh." Tu Lanxun answered loudly, then turned serious: "If you really...it's okay! I can be on top."

“…”

"Really, I've always been very curious... about my shopping app... so it's totally okay, don't feel inferior, I'll always be your fan club..."

N finally understood that this person was so sleepy that she was talking nonsense. To prevent her from continuing to talk nonsense, he lifted the hair stuck on Tu Lanxun's neck, slowly kissed her, then looked up and said, "It's time to go to bed."

Tu Lanxun felt as if he was kissed. The kiss was very cold, but soft, with a hidden scent of plants, and it was fleeting.

It was as if the skin of her neck had opened into a mouth, and that mouth had eaten a berry that grew in the eternal night and was coiled by poisonous snakes. It was cool and soft, but also sour, sweet, sharp and venomous. If you close your eyes, you can see the veil of death floating in front of you, and you want to moan to the god of death: Please take me away.

Tu Lanxun was half-supported and half-carried back to his bedroom and placed on the bed, but N showed no intention of leaving.

He went out and came back, changed into new clothes, lifted a corner of the quilt painted with blue, and got in nimbly. The mattress lowered and the quilt instantly became half a degree cooler.

Tu Lanxun couldn't help but say, "Go, go, go."

Her request was not responded to, but someone grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the vast experimental field again. Tu Lanxun had a premonition that if she moved her hand downwards this time, N would no longer refuse.

I don’t know what kind of psychological preparation he had for the trip he just went out.

So why did you refuse before?

Tu Lanxun did not move forward or backward, but just put her hands in N's arms. Her heartbeat gradually stabilized. She was so sleepy that she soon closed her eyes completely.

N slept beside her properly. Ghosts don't need to sleep. Feeling the palm of Tu Lanxun's hand on his chest gradually sliding down, N rubbed a few inches towards Tu Lanxun, forming a loose hug. Suddenly, he also felt sleepy, as if he were still alive.

The night passed quickly. When Tu Lanxun opened his eyes again, N had already prepared the meal, and Mikhail and Xianyu Qingyun were packing in the kitchen.

"Come and eat." N untied her apron.

For some reason, Tu Lanxun had no appetite today. He barely managed to fill his stomach and rushed out to Xiaguang Road before eight o'clock.

There was already a car waiting there, and the person who came to deliver the things was Mu Xiaozhen himself.

Tu Lanxun hurried over to meet him. Mu Xiaozhen was holding a box and smiled at her: "Consultant Tu, this is for you."

Just as he was about to dismantle it, Tu Lanxun heard Mu Xiaozhen ask, "Xiao Tu, how long has it been since you last visited your mother in the nursing home?"

Tu Lanxun was unpacking the contents of his notebook. "I haven't been there for a few months, but we spoke on the phone yesterday. She's doing well at the Yangui Nursing Home and hasn't been affected by the ghost invasion."

"Oh." Mu Xiaozhen nodded. "You should visit her more often. By the way, where is the necklace I gave you before?"
