"I'll go get you something to eat."
Bai Ningning had just opened the door when a middle-aged, muscular ghost, about 1.8 meters tall, came in.
The other party looked down at Yuan Muyang, looking past Bai Ningning and saying, "The King of Hell is worried, so he asked me to keep an eye on you."
This is the little ghost that Bai Ningning just took out from the Four Seasons Chronicle of the Hell Realm. He was captured in the Ghost Alliance last time and is one of the four subordinates of the old tree.
The old tree was quite dissatisfied with this. He felt that Bai Ningning not only ordered him to do things he didn't want to do every day, but also actually stole his subordinates.
It’s a pity that the old tree dares not speak out.
Even a ghost under the eaves has to bow its head.
Bai Ningning casually prepared instant food and mineral water for Yuan Muyang, then yawned and said she was going to bed.
Yuan Muyang stared at the fast food she brought for several seconds, as if he was trying to decide whether he could eat it.
Bai Ningning: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous, the plastic packaging is still intact."
Yuan Muyang was like a puppet without a soul, numbly unpacking the instant food. After a while, he slowly asked, "You want to sleep?"
"...Yeah." Bai Ningning responded rather speechlessly, pointing to the dark night outside the window, "It's time to go to bed."
Yuan Muyang looked over and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I thought working for the underworld didn't require sleep."
Bai Ningning realized that he had actually heard everything, but he was very slow to respond.
He does whatever you ask him to do and looks wherever you ask him to look, but his reactions are very slow, as if he needs several seconds to digest and understand.
"I don't know. I've never been one."
Bai Ningning yawned again, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and her eyelids drooped as if she couldn't open them.
She continued slowly, "But I'm extremely sleepy. I feel like I've just been to the underworld and am now completely dazed."
After she finished speaking, she waved and turned away.
"You might be..." Yuan Muyang opened his mouth, and when he reacted, Bai Ningning was no longer in the room.
Only the ferocious ghost was left guarding him.
He only looks fierce on the surface, and this "ghost messenger" cannot beat him.
But he also knew that it was not just this "ghost messenger" who was guarding him. There was a barrier at the door of the room, and any movement he made would be detected.
Fortunately, he didn't intend to do anything to resist.
He is now very confused. He is not sure whether what he did in the past was right, nor is he sure whether he is good or bad. He even begins to doubt the necessity of his existence.
He used to think that he caught ghosts and exorcised evil spirits in order to maintain peace on earth and to maintain tranquility in both the yin and yang worlds.
But now it seems that many of the ghosts he caught were used by his father as nourishment for the soul-transforming formation - this is a forbidden technique, and he is one of the biggest beneficiaries.
He seemed to be in a fog and even forgot to question why Bai Ningning was working for the underworld.
Bai Ningning really went to sleep when she said she would, but she asked Chu Yuyan to tell Chu Ze, "You're safe, don't worry," and then she just went to sleep like a hands-off boss.
After Chu Ze received her message, he sat in front of the stone table in the underworld with his face propped up and sulked, with his eyes half-closed and motionless.
Bai Ningning didn't say anything!
He had cooperated in this drama, but she was not even willing to come to the underworld to share information with him. She didn't even bother to explain the reason. It was too much!
How can you sleep at your age? (Pointing)
[It’s over, my old father is unhappy and there’s no way to appease him]
[This is so funny! Ningning isn't so heavy anymore, but everyone else's expressions have become heavy (because of Ningning)]
The second brother is the worst off! As a messenger (?), he doesn't even know why his father is angry.
Bai Ningning had a good night's sleep and successfully realized her dream of working for five minutes and resting for ten hours.
The first comment Bai Ningning saw when she opened her eyes was [Ningning, you have no heart!].
Haha, what's the point of having such a salted fish?
It’s a pity that a new day has come and a new job has to start.
Today is a gray and overcast day. The autumn wind is blowing, blowing up the yellow fallen leaves.
Bai Ningning deliberately stepped on the fallen leaves, and the creaking sound sounded rhythmically, like white noise, comfortable and pleasant.
She didn't bring an umbrella, so she bought some sandwiches and bread nearby for the other three people in the villa to have breakfast, and replaced the one guarding the ghost - once the sun rose, it was not appropriate for ghosts to appear in the world of the living.
This villa is full of old, weak and sick people. She didn't expect that she is now the one with the strongest mobility.
Young Master Chu Yuyan was a picky eater and was a little disgusted with the convenience store sandwiches, but he still smiled elegantly and gently reminded, "Don't bother, you can ask Big Brother to have someone deliver the food."
Bai Ningning didn't respond and pointed upstairs, meaning that she didn't want to have too much contact with Chu Hanzhou in front of others.
The hotels they stayed in before were all under Chu Hanzhou's name. If the food they ate every day was also under his name, Chu Yuyan would definitely be suspicious.
And who knows when someone from the Xuanmen might find out about this, so the best option is to distance yourself from it.
Bai Ningning suddenly asked, "Whose name is this villa in?"
Chu Yuyan felt that she was too cautious, but he also understood her uneasiness.
He had been through a phase like this before.
He patiently replied, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about people who have nothing to do with us."
After hearing this, Bai Ningning calmed down for the time being.
After she distributed breakfast, the weather outside the window turned from cloudy to light rain, and a fine drizzle began to fall.
Bai Ningning secretly thanked her good luck that it didn't rain until she got home.
After being left out for a while, Yun Youshun took the initiative to send a message and asked, "Have you decided where to establish the next Underworld office in the human world?"
Bai Ningning replied that she had not yet.
The other party quickly replied: "Most likely they will be built. I have prepared a design sketch and will review it for you once it is finished."
She replied indifferently with "OK", and there was no further communication between the two parties.
Yuan Muyang quickly finished his sandwich, then turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and focused on drawing the blueprint.
Bai Ningning sat bored by the window, listening to the sound of rain.
There was a hazy mist outside the window, and the houses in the distance seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with her in the mist, appearing and disappearing.
Occasionally one or two people walking their dogs pass by on the roadside, and two out of three are Shiba Inus.
I heard that this kind of dog is quite stubborn and will go out to play no matter how bad the weather is.
——Chu Ze might also be such a person.
No matter what happens, we must patrol the streets regardless of rain or shine.
Bai Ningning couldn't help laughing and went downstairs to find Chu Yuyan to share her interesting ideas.
Chu Yuyan's situation is different from hers. He is half human and half ghost, and he is awake for a very long time.
Moreover, his movements are restricted and he cannot go out at will. This kind of life is really lonely as snow.
After hearing her joke, Chu Yuyan moved to the window with her to observe whether there were other stubborn Shiba Inus outside the window.
As soon as I opened the window, a gentle breeze and drizzle hit me in the face.
Fallen leaves, dead branches, rain, dew and autumn frost.
Bai Ningning lay on the windowsill and felt the autumn for a while, then closed the window.
She felt that Chu Yuyan had not exercised for many years, so his health was probably not very good and he was prone to catching colds.
Chu Yuyan looked at her and was about to speak when he heard Bai Ningning say, "Oh, right."
Bai Ningning shared the chat history between herself and Yun Youshun with him, and reflected on herself: "Am I a little too cold?"
Chu Yuyan sneered at the phone, and even felt that she was showing goodwill by replying to the message.
Bai Ningning: “…”
I understand.
Chu Yuyan said, "You will meet many people like this in the future. You have to learn to distinguish them yourself... Didn't you do a good job in the underworld yesterday?"
Last night, Chu Ze was really depressed and had nothing to do, so he sat next to Wangchuan, chewing red velvet grass and complaining to him all night long.
Chu Ze was simply smoking red velvet grass like a cigarette.
Bai Ningning: "Because they are the Ghost Alliance, and they have original sin, I can be so ruthless."
But people like Yun Youshun didn't do anything harmful to others, they just didn't do anything. They can't be considered guilty, they just didn't do anything.
"You're wrong."
Chu Yuyan interrupted her confused thoughts, his lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes: "He knew about your existence from the beginning, and he could have taken you away for protection earlier, but he didn't; if he was afraid, he could have secretly informed the underworld, but he didn't; at worst, he secretly told us the clues related to you, and we could have investigated it ourselves, but we found nothing."
The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and raindrops as big as beans hit the window, accompanied by crackling lightning and thunder.
The purple light suddenly illuminated Chu Yuyan's pale face, making it look somewhat eerie and terrifying.
Bai Ningning suddenly felt that his expression and aura might be more in line with the image of the King of Hell in the secular sense.
Chu Yuyan indifferently revealed the truth: "He didn't do anything because he was looking for an opportunity to choose sides. If Qingwei Mountain had the advantage now, he would not hesitate to defect to Qingwei Mountain and sell you out completely."
It was because Yun Youshun had been keeping an eye on Bai Ningning's movements that he contacted Bai Ningning as soon as Bai Ningning represented the underworld to attend the meeting to show his sincerity.
But if Bai Ningning was sent into the Soul Transformation Formation, he would most likely not stop it and would continue to be a marginal hermit, and might even cooperate more with Qingwei Mountain in the future.
Seeing that Bai Ningning didn't speak for a long time, Chu Yuyan thought he had spoken too harshly, so he pushed his wheelchair and got a can of candy for her.
Chu Yuyan's expression softened again. "I'm sorry. I might have some personal grudges and malicious speculations. You don't have to consider my thoughts. Just do what you want."
Bai Ningning only took one candy and said thank you.
She shook her head again: "I agree with you."
She just felt a little sad suddenly.
When Chu Yuyan said these words, there was a sense of hostility in his body.
This resentment comes from his nightmares day after day and the entanglement of evil spirits that accompany him.
Whether it is venting anger or taking revenge, it is both reasonable.
Yun Youshun is not completely innocent either.
Bai Ningning knocked on the window and said, "If the rain stops soon and the sun comes out, maybe we'll see a rainbow."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden flash outside the window, followed by a loud roar of thunder.
As if to refute her words.
Bai Ningning yelled out the window: "If I say there is, then there is definitely one!"
I don't know who I'm arguing with.
Chu Yuyan smiled, as if coaxing a child: "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Bai Ningning waved her hand: "I won't bother you anymore, I'm going upstairs to play catch up."
She went back upstairs and stared at Yuan Muyang drawing.
Before the rain stopped, Yuan Muyang finished drawing a sketch and showed it to Bai Ningning: "It should be feasible, but we need to try it out before making any adjustments."
Bai Ningning couldn't understand the formation at all. In her eyes, this level of density was like the most complicated summoning formation in cartoons.
She asked, "Did you not sleep all night?"
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep." Yuan Muyang's eyes were dark blue, and he lied with his eyes open, "Maybe I slept too long before."
When it comes to actual combat experiments, Bai Ningning's first thought is to cause trouble to the Ghost Alliance.
But unfortunately, there has been no trace of the Ghost Alliance in the past two days, and no news has been received from either Shu Lao or Geng Yiyi.
She could only settle for the next best thing: "Take it to Yuancheng and try it?"
Yuan Muyang shook his head. This was his fastest reaction in the past two days.
He shook his head and suddenly froze, as if he had forgotten what he was going to say. He hesitated for a long time before finally articulating his complete thoughts: "Can...can I ask...can I ask the King of Hell...no, ask the Underworld to hire me as the Impermanence Walker?"
After becoming the Zou Wuchang, one can enter and exit the underworld freely.
He doesn't ask for freedom of movement, but now he is somewhat repulsed by the human world and would rather work in the underworld.
Bai Ningning: "Are you sure? There's no turning back once you take Wuchang."
Yuan Muyang was silent for a moment, took back the manuscript paper, and said, "I'll elaborate on it."
The strong wind and rain hit the window frames, and the whistling sound was like the shrill cry of a ghost, giving people goose bumps.
Bai Ningning hugged her shoulders and huddled to one side, thinking about how she would use raindrops and light to design an artificial rainbow for Chu Yuyan if the rain stopped and there was no rainbow.
Yuan Muyang misunderstood and asked, "Are you still afraid of ghosts?"
"Ah?" Bai Ningning didn't know why he suddenly thought of this. She responded vaguely and then began to deceive, "Working for the underworld doesn't necessarily mean you have to deal with ghosts every day. The underworld is currently working on a new project. The underworld's office in the human world deals with people."
Yuan Muyang was not interested in this and continued to draw the formation with his head down.
Bai Ningning complained: "You're not surprised why I work in the underworld, but you think it's weird that I'm afraid of ghosts. What kind of train of thought is this?"
She had already made up the story, but Yuan Muyang didn't intend to ask at all.
Yuan Muyang remained silent, writing and drawing, with no intention of stopping.
When Bai Ningning thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly said, "I prefer dealing with ghosts."
Bai Ningning: “?”
Yuan Muyang: “?”
Bai Ningning: "You mean the thing that has a long tongue, loses an eyeball, and suddenly appears at the head of your bed in the middle of the night, staring at you creepily?"
Yuan Muyang: "At least he's simple and straightforward, unlike a human. The people around him who have been with him day and night for twenty years thought he was upright, but suddenly they found out that he was full of evil. Everything in the past was fake and acted out."
“…………”
The two looked at each other for a while, then turned their heads away at the same time, unable to understand each other.
[Appeared! Two people wearing short sleeves and down jackets during the season change! They passed each other and thought each other was crazy]
[Ningning: Ghosts are so scary, people are better]
[Mu Yang: People are so scary, ghosts are better]
