Facing Qing Huai's accusation, Bai Ningning paused and looked at her seriously: "Don't you want to not come?"
Qing Huai looked at her silently without saying a word, his eyes concealing subtle emotions that were difficult to detect.
Bai Ningning carefully explained her reasons: "I didn't prohibit your freedom of movement. When I went to the underworld before, you followed me directly. If you wanted to go, you would take the initiative to come with me, right?"
Qing Huai stared at her for a few seconds, then returned to the knife without saying a word.
Bai Ningning could sense that he was in a bad mood, although she couldn't understand why.
In her eyes, Qinghuai followed her to the underworld because it was her first time leaving the soul and she was worried.
There was a good reason not to go now; he wanted to help her keep her body in the world.
It is reasonable to go or not, so of course you can go if you want to, and not go if you don’t want to.
She has been so lenient with her subordinates, so why do they still seem unhappy?
So is Ma Juan.
Qinghuai too.
How strange.
Bai Ningning couldn't figure it out, so she covered her head with the quilt and went to sleep.
I didn't sleep well that night.
Ever since she met Qinghuai, she rarely had nightmares, but this time, she had a nightmare for a whole night, which was rare.
In the dream, she was a child from an ordinary family of three, with a gentle and lovely mother and a well-mannered father.
My mother looks a lot like Chu Xisen...
Who is Chu Xisen?
Oh, he seems to be a big star.
Bai Ningning attends an ordinary school. Her grades are neither good nor bad. Her performance in various subjects is mixed. She ranks in the top three in one subject and just passes the other. In the next monthly exam, her scores in the two subjects are swapped and the teacher calls her in for a talk.
The ranking is firmly in the upper middle level.
Fortunately, he performed steadily during the college entrance examination, with good scores in all subjects. He is an excellent candidate who can be listed on the honor roll.
After confirming her admission, she stayed in the community express delivery station every day, waiting for her admission letter.
I was so happy when I officially received the admission letter. I held the thin package in my arms, said thank you three times to the delivery uncle, and then ran all the way home, wanting to share the good news with my parents as soon as possible.
But from here on, the dream becomes wrong.
The sky was gray and extremely dull, like the heat before a rainstorm, making it difficult to breathe.
Bai Ningning didn't realize this problem, she just thought she was running too fast.
She happily pushed open the door of her home and announced loudly, "I got the notice!"
However, the house was empty.
What's strange is that this house seems to have not been lived in for many years. Everything is covered with a thick layer of dust, and spiders are carelessly weaving webs between the tables and chairs.
Bai Ningning felt something sticky on her hands, as if she had touched something strange. She looked down and found that the door handle was also covered with spider webs, which had been stuck when she opened the door.
Through the gaps between my fingers, I could see that the edges and corners of the floor were badly worn, and the rough wood chips were exposed under the dust and cobwebs.
Suddenly someone patted my shoulder.
She was startled, but when she saw the familiar face, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's you? Are there any other packages I haven't picked up yet?"
The other party said nothing, just smiled.
The smile was very strange, not like a smile from the heart. The angle was stiff, just the corners of the mouth were raised, but there was no arc in the eyes.
"W-What happened?"
Bai Ningning subconsciously took two steps back to distance herself from him.
The other person's face seemed to be torn apart, suddenly torn open from the middle, blood dripping, and he opened his bloody mouth and pounced towards Bai Ningning.
Bai Ningning was so frightened that she turned around and ran instinctively, narrowly escaping.
She ran all the way to the property management office of the residential complex, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the ghost didn't catch up with her.
I just happened to use the water pipe at the door of the property office to wash the spider webs off my hands.
My heart was pounding, my breathing was getting faster and faster, and I felt like the air was getting thinner.
Bai Ningning suddenly realized that there was no one in the community.
Even the property management office was empty, and the spider webs on the windows were so thick that they could be seen from five meters away.
What's going on?
She turned on the faucet, and a red, sticky liquid flowed out, and the smell of rust and blood instantly filled the air.
This is not water at all!
Bai Ningning turned and ran, sprinting all the way out of the community, as long as she could find someone—
No, what if the person she found turned into a ghost in front of her like the delivery guy?
Bai Ningning was at a loss as to what to do. This world had become dominated by ghosts and monsters.
Qing Huai was still sulking and wanted to wait until Bai Ningning fell asleep so that he could play a trick on her and give her a little nightmare.
As a result, as soon as he came out of the knife, he saw Bai Ningning sleeping very restlessly, with a frown and lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to call for help but couldn't move.
Her forehead was covered with sweat.
Qing Huai was furious. How could someone dare to attack her?
Is it in the unfinished building of the Ghost Alliance, or in the underworld?
Without a second's hesitation, Qing Huai entered her dream with a surging ghost aura all over his body.
This nightmare karma has restrictions, and he cannot sense Bai Ningning's location - in theory, they are in a contractual relationship, and there is an invisible thread between them that guides them to find each other.
But not now.
He looked at the empty city and the ghosts that could be seen everywhere.
Perhaps it was the spellcaster who made Bai Ningning forget her identity as the King of Hell and hypnotized her into a new identity as an ordinary person.
Or maybe it would just make her forget about him.
Qinghuai felt a little stuffy in his chest.
He hasn't felt this way in a long time.
He could only look for her along the street, and he still remembered her scent.
Bai Ningning was hiding in a cabinet in the mall at this time. The space was small, her back was against the wall, and she could not see anything after closing the door.
But she felt that this was the safest way.
If a ghost comes, the cabinet door can only be opened from the front, at least to give her time to react.
She tied an iron rod with a thin rope and stuck it outside the door. As long as she could keep pulling the rope, the iron rod would be able to lock the cabinet door and no one could open it.
But she underestimated the appeal of her scent to ghosts, and also underestimated the ghosts' sense of smell.
After a while, a lot of wandering ghosts gathered outside the cabinet. They came and went, as if trying to find out where the fragrance came from.
Soon, they surrounded the cabinet in three layers inside and outside.
Bai Ningning nervously pulled the rope and deliberately lowered her breathing.
The ghost really couldn't open the cabinet door.
But they don't need to be open either.
A ghost passed through the cabinet wall, appeared from her left side, and met her eyes.
Bai Ningning was nearly heartbroken. These were ghosts! Not zombies! Cover was useless against them; they could just walk right through them!
She tried to move her feet, but they were numb from squatting for too long.
Besides, she had just run a long way and was really exhausted now.
Just accept your fate.
Anyway, the dead don’t feel pain.
The next moment, the ghost that met her eyes opened its bloody mouth and wanted to swallow her, but was instantly pulled away by external force.
Oh, they are fighting over food.
Bai Ningning hugged her knees and curled up into a ball.
She's going to be eaten by a ghost anyway, so it doesn't matter who eats her. It's better to let her die quickly.
She heard ghost cries everywhere outside, almost in a surround-like manner.
These ghosts were fighting fiercely.
She thought.
I don’t know how long it took, but it became quiet outside.
Bai Ningning was still daydreaming: Well, this is the legendary raising of Gu. Now there is only the last ghost left. As the ghost king, I am going to enjoy his delicious meal.
Bai Ningning loosened the rope on her hand slightly and observed the situation outside through the crack in the door.
There was indeed only one evil ghost left, and it looked very powerful, with a ghostly aura more condensed than that of all the ghosts just now combined.
Unexpectedly, this evil ghost is very good-looking.
She didn't know how to describe the beauty of a ghost, but this was indeed the most beautiful ghost she had ever seen.
He looked like a towering snow lotus growing out of the Shura Hell, so beautiful that it was frightening.
His facial features were as pale as snow on a green mountain, revealing a sense of alienation; but emotionally, he was more like a volcano on the verge of erupting, with ghostly energy swirling behind him, as if he was going to kill her in the cruelest way in the world in the next second.
He suppressed the irritability and unknown emotions in his heart, frowned and urged: "Come out."
Bai Ningning didn't want to move.
You will die if you go out, and you will die if you don't go out. The result is the same anyway, so why go through so much trouble?
The other party waited for a few seconds, and finally became impatient and carried her out with ghost energy.
Bai Ningning was so scared that she closed her eyes, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
Before the expected pain came, she quietly opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of the Ghost King.
The other party looked quite unhappy.
Bai Ningning looked like she was going to die, staring at him straight. She was going to die anyway, so what was wrong with looking at him a few more times?
It's just pitiful that she worked so hard to take so many exams, but the admission letter hasn't even warmed up yet.
The Ghost King seemed annoyed by her stare and sneered, "How long are you going to play this game?"
Bai Ningning: “?”
As God knows, she didn't move at all.
Qing Huai's tone became even colder: "You are the King of Hell, don't tell me you can't break this nightmare."
Bai Ningning: “?”
What nonsense is this ghost talking about.
Bai Ningning, looking completely lost, asked, "Do you know what's going on in this world? I can't see anyone anymore, and my house has become strange, as if no one has lived there for a long time."
Qing Huai: "Maybe it's a world without the King of Hell."
Bai Ningning didn't expect the other party to answer so kindly, but the logic was obviously unsound.
Sometimes she said she was the King of Hell, and sometimes she said this was a world without the King of Hell.
Too perfunctory.
Because there is no King of Hell, ghosts are rampant?
Suddenly, a vague yet powerful sentence floated through Bai Ningning's mind:
"You yourself carry the fate of many people on your shoulders."
“…”
Bai Ningning opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
She looked at the angry Qing Huai across from her and tried to coax the ghost: "You looked so handsome just now. Although I didn't recognize you, at that moment I thought you were the most beautiful ghost in the world."
She was clearly speaking the truth, but it was obvious that Qing Huai was even more unhappy, and evil spirits were running around the room.
Didn’t recognize you?
Qing Huai stared at her with scorching eyes, as if he wanted to burn two holes in her with his gaze.
Bai Ningning shivered and awkwardly changed the subject: "Are we going to the underworld now? We're going to settle accounts with that guy named Chu. He was the one who plotted against us!"
Bai Ningning didn't know that Qinghuai went to save her on purpose, and she thought that Qinghuai was also implicated by her and was trapped in a nightmare and couldn't get out.
Qinghuai didn't comment, so Bai Ningning assumed that he agreed and took him to the underworld to find someone.
As soon as he landed, Cheng Xiu ran over eagerly to welcome him: "Mr. Chu said you were coming, but he has gone to the human world and said he has some things to do. He will be back in a few days. I hope you can take care of the underworld."
Bai Ningning: “…”
The old fox reacted quickly and ran away immediately after setting the trap.
High EQ: Getting things done. Low EQ: Fleeing.
【Reply in a few days = Talk to you after you calm down】
[Look after the underworld = If you are angry, you can take it out on the ghosts from District 4 onwards, but don't hurt innocent people]
Bai Ningning: "He didn't say where he was going?"
Cheng Xiu shook her head: "He left in a hurry. He left not long after you left."
Bai Ningning gnashed her teeth in anger, forcing a somewhat terrifying smile: "Got it, I'll go prepare a return gift for him."
Cheng Xiu: “?”
When did Mr. Chu send the gift?
"Qinghuai, let's go."
Bai Ningning waved and left quickly, without any intention of greeting.
Watching them leave, Cheng Xiu sighed, feeling a little frustrated: "I'm quite envious of Qing Huai, being able to follow Ning Ning all the time... I wish I could be as strong as him."
Bai Ningning left a note for Chu Xisen, and then asked Qinghuai to take her to Qingwei Mountain overnight.
She used the Four Seasons Chart of the Hell Realm to summon ghosts such as the old tree, and asked them to put up a sign at the main entrance of Qingwei Mountain and build a small building overnight.
The sign had a few clear characters written on it in block letters:
The underworld’s office on earth.
The old tree thought that he was going to work here, and he was terrified and trying to find words to dissuade the little king of hell while building the building.
If the people from Qingwei Mountain saw him, they would probably start a fight right away.
Is it appropriate for a ghost to show off at someone else's gate?
Who knew that after the building was finished, before the old tree could say anything, Bai Ningning said, "It's done, you can go back."
Tree Elder: “?”
He survived the ordeal but felt extremely confused: "Don't you need to guard it?"
Bai Ningning felt much better: "No need, just wait until tomorrow to watch the show."
When Yuan Xiushu sees this sign and this small house tomorrow, his face will probably turn green with anger.
If he destroyed this place, it would mean that Qingwei Mountain would openly become the enemy of the underworld.
If he doesn't hit him, he'll feel uncomfortable and will probably have to find a way to find Chu Ze to argue with him.
Positive or negative has nothing to do with her. She just sets the stage and waits for the show to begin.
