Chapter 14 Chapter 14

In the furniture store on the other side, Xibai came out after taking notes and found a corner to secretly burn the yellow paper form he had written.

After patting the paper dust on his hands, Xibai found Gu Chi who was waiting for him outside.

"The furniture will be delivered later, let's go back to school first." Xibai said. Gu

Chi said "oh" in a very light tone.

Xibai recounted the experience of the Paper Man Ghost to Gu Chi.

The Paper Man Ghost was a male college student who had just graduated. He studied business administration. He was a jack of all trades but had difficulty finding a job. It happened that the job market was sluggish that year, and he had not seized a job opportunity until graduation.

A week before graduation, a company suddenly sent him an interview invitation. The Paper Man Ghost was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that everything from the interview to the issuance of the letter of intent for employment would be extremely smooth.

He thought his luck had changed, but what fell from the sky was not a pie, but a knife to kill him.

The furniture store owner was a believer in Feng Shui to the point of being crazy. He studied fortune-telling formations and fortune-changing formations at home for a long time, and finally wanted to use an unorthodox method to make money with an evil formation.

The reverse fortune-telling formation belongs to fire, which cannot be overcome by water, but can only be consumed by gold and released by earth.

The paper ghost's horoscope is gold and earth, so he was targeted.

He started working happily at first, but not long after he started working, he was notified that he would be sent on a business trip to a remote city.

As a result, he was knocked unconscious halfway through the trip, and when he woke up, he was tied up and thrown into a deep pit, with a paper man next to him who looked very similar to him, almost 1:1.

Trapped in paper, his seven secrets were sealed, and he could never escape.

In the end, what was engraved deep in his soul and memory was the endless flames and the pain of burning his flesh. When

hatred and resentment meet, evil spirits arise. The paper ghost's mentality gradually twisted and he became an evil ghost.

He was suppressed in the formation for more than ten years, and took advantage of the loosening of the seal of the formation recently to escape.

Before he could harm anyone, he ran into Xi Bai and Gu Chi who came with Xi Bai.

Considering that the other party was just an "ordinary person" who didn't know that he had an "extremely yang horoscope", in order to prevent scaring Gu Chi, Xi Bai only talked about the things that happened in the paper ghost's life.

Xibai said, "It's just a pity for the boy who was killed."

Gu Chi listened and turned his head slowly, "Do you care about him a lot?"

Xibai: "What?"

"From what you said, you seem to care about him a lot."

Why does Gu Chi's tone seem strange?

Xibai blinked and was about to say something when a sentence came from the side and interrupted their conversation.

"Excuse me, the case just now is on your side..."

Xibai turned his head.

The person who spoke was a female reporter wearing square-framed glasses and a high ponytail. Next to her was a cameraman with a camera.

Xibai turned around and nodded.

"Uh, it's me."

The female reporter showed her press card.

"Hello, I'm a news reporter from North City TV. I just received a notice. May I ask if you are available for an interview now?"

Xibai thought for a moment and turned back to ask, "Do you want to wait for me over there?"

He saw that Gu Chi was not in a good mood and seemed a little unhappy, so he asked.

But Gu Chi just turned his face away.

"I'm right here."

Xibai said, and looked at the reporter, "Then let's move to the side."

Gu Chi didn't seem to want to be in the camera.

The female reporter naturally agreed.

The few of them changed their positions. It was getting dark, so they went under a tree and began the interview step by step under the light of the street lamp.

Gu Chi, who had not moved from beginning to end, was twisting his neck and not blinking.

Staring at Xi Bai who was talking to the camera, he felt a pang of sourness in his heart.

As a ghost, Gu Chi's thinking circuit is very different from that of Xi Bai, a human being.

The underworld is the place where the souls of people return after death. There are more than tens of millions of ghosts crossing the Wangchuan River every day. Some are crying, some are laughing, some are extremely calm, and some are extremely crazy...

But this is not important to the ghost king of the underworld.

Because the number is too large.

If you want to be happy, sad, or nostalgic for the life of each ghost, then the underworld is crying and laughing every day. Wouldn't it become a mental hospital?

Therefore, in Xi Bai's view, his emotion about the death of the paper ghost is just a sigh out of humanitarian concern.

But in Gu Chi's eyes, the paper ghost was regarded as a "special existence" among millions of ghosts.

Therefore, everything that happened in the furniture store today made Gu Chi feel puzzled.

After he helped Xi Bai dispel the confusion of the paper ghost, Xi Bai became a little strange in Gu Chi's perspective.

For example, he said he was going to the bathroom, but turned around and took the paper ghost in his hand away.

And he wanted to call the paper ghost... 110?

In addition, Xi Bai just told him about the life of the paper ghost, but only talked about things before his death... Does Xi Bai care about the life of the paper ghost?

It seems so, Gu Chi thought, Xi Bai just said that the paper ghost died very pitifully.

So Xi Bai really cares about that paper ghost?

Why?

Isn't one of him enough? They all live together!

If Xi Baiken, who was concentrating on the interview, had looked behind him at this moment, he would most likely have seen a sour large dog with a lemon head.

However, it was his first time being interviewed, and he was being interviewed about such a murder case, so he was really too nervous.

So much so that his mind was completely focused on understanding and answering the reporters' questions.

He didn't even notice the gloomy energy that had slowly swept up from all around him and was thicker than usual.

Gu Chi came back to his senses slightly, he lowered his eyes, and looked at the two figures, one black and one white, that appeared silently in front of him.

"Xie Bian, Fan Wushe has seen Lord Ghost King."

Gu Chi glanced back, then slowly retracted his eyes.

He hummed softly, "Get up."

Xie Bian was the first to speak.

"I just received a message saying that there are wronged souls trapped here. I wonder if it was left by Lord Ghost King?"

Xie Bian stretched out his slender white palm, and on his palm was a piece of golden rice paper.

Gu Chi's eyes swept over the beautiful handwriting written in cinnabar ink on the paper, and then he said in a light voice: "It's not me."

Xie Bian and Fan Wushe looked at each other and bowed.

"Let's not bother you there, sir, let's first..." "

Wait." Gu Chi interrupted, "I want to ask you a question."

"Please speak, sir."

Gu Chi turned around and looked at the two figures, one black and one white, kneeling in front of him.

"You two are walking in the world..."

"You must have seen many lovers among humans, right?"

Xie Bian & Fan Wushe:?

"...May I ask what your Excellency means?"

※

On the other side, Xi Bai had almost finished the interview and was thinking about ending it.

When his eyes swept to the camera on the side, he saw a tall figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Originally, the center of the camera was aimed at Xi Bai's face, but after the figure entered the camera, all that could be seen was a broad shoulder.

The cameraman holding the camera subconsciously adjusted the focus and moved the lens up a little.

When the two of them were back in the camera, Xi Bai suddenly felt that he was made to look small in comparison.

No, it was Gu Chi who was too big.

Xi Bai thought Gu Chi was waiting impatiently, and was about to say that he had finished the interview.

But he suddenly felt a chill all around him, and looking further away, he found that a circle of yin energy had enveloped the surroundings.

Two figures, one black and one white, stood in the dark mist-like yin energy, looking at him.

Xi Bai: ! !

Oops, I almost forgot about the Black and White Impermanence.

He changed the subject and held Gu Chi.

"You can also do a few words in the interview. I remembered something else and need to leave for a while."

Nodding to the reporter, Xi Bai pressed Gu Chi's shoulder again as if to comfort him, turned around and ran away like a flash.

"Then... shall we start?" The reporter looked at Gu Chi and asked tentatively.

Gu Chi retracted his gaze and hummed.

The interview started quickly, but Gu Chi did not hear clearly what the reporter said at first.

His mind was full of Xi Bai's expression when he just left.

Could it be that what Xie Bian and Fan Wushe said was true?

Xi Bai...really didn't know that he, that is, "Gu Chi", was actually a ghost?
