Chapter 27 Chapter 27

Gu Chi clearly didn't say anything, but Xi Bai heard what he said.

Xi Bai was sure that he didn't hear hallucinations, because the words were really clear.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something.

Gu Chi didn't speak.

What he heard was Gu Chi's "voice of the heart".

His heart rose to his throat in an instant, and cold sweat soaked his clothes in an instant.

Why?

Can't he only hear the voices of ghosts?

What's the situation with Gu Chi?

No matter how many possibilities appeared in his brain, the possibility that came out of his subconscious mind at the first time was now clamoring in Xi Bai's mind.

Gu Chi is not a human.

Thoughts grew wildly in his brain. Could it be that he has been living with a ghost for the past few months?

And recalling the first encounter, it can even be said that it was Xibai himself who "invited the wolf into the house", allowing Gu Chi to successfully live under the same roof with him.

Not only that, they also slept in the same bed for two months!

"Xibai?"

A hand quietly covered his shoulder.

At that moment, Xibai almost screamed out.

But he bit his lower lip tightly, and the moment before the scream was completely out of control, his brain calmed down at the speed of light.

No, it's not certain yet.

He did hear Gu Chi's voice, but in fact, there are many things about Gu Chi that can prove that he is "not a ghost".

For example, Gu Chi is not afraid of the sun, but those evil things will never appear from various hidden corners until the last trace of sunset is withdrawn from the mountain.

Moreover, Gu Chi was breathing and had body temperature... Xibai had even felt it directly. Xibai

swallowed silently.

The hand on his shoulder, through his clothes, still transmitted waves of hot body temperature.

Human body temperature.

Moreover, Xibai clearly recalled that Zhuang Shu had said that Gu Chi's horoscope showed an extremely yang body.

If Gu Chi was a yin object, how could he have such a physique? Thinking so, Xibai gradually convinced the overly excited heart in his chest that had lost its mind and was jumping up and down wildly.

Calm down, Xibai.

After some effective psychological construction, Xibai gradually calmed down.

Although it was dark in the dormitory, Gu Chi's eyes saw Xibai's reaction clearly.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Chi said worriedly, reaching out to touch Xi Bai's forehead.

His palm was gently blocked halfway, and Xi Bai said, "No, I'm fine."

The moment his fingers touched the back of Gu Chi's hand, Xi Bai calmed down and "listened" carefully for a while.

Sure enough, he heard that "voice" again.

"Is Xi Bai really not sick?"

This time, Xi Bai was sure that what he heard was Gu Chi's "voice of the heart."

But after thinking calmly just now, Xi Bai felt that it was more likely that Gu Chi was a human. After all, Gu Chi had breathing and body temperature and dared to bask in the sun, and the only "abnormal" thing was that he could hear his "voice of the heart."

But...

Xi Bai thought again.

He can only hear the voices of ghosts, which does not mean that all the people whose voices he can hear are ghosts.

He still remembered some of the knowledge about sufficient conditions and necessary conditions that he learned in middle school and high school.

The more Xibai thought about it, the more he felt that his ideas made sense, and his heart rate gradually returned to normal.

"I'm fine."

In order to hide his guilt, he also did as Zhuang Suan taught him, to have more contact with Gu Chi and test his thoughts.

Xibai began to reach out and grope in the dark.

His fingertips rubbed the tall and straight nose bridge, and gently poked the three-dimensional brow bone, along the full forehead web, and finally, gently pressed on Gu Chi's soft hair.

Xibai followed this action and touched it lightly twice - using the gesture of stroking a large dog.

"Don't worry, good night."

The effect was immediate.

Gu Chi, who wanted to ask a few more questions, could only stammer a few words now.

"Um..."

"No, I'm glad you're okay."

"...Then, good night."

Although he was calm, his mind was still in a mess.

So, why could he hear Gu Chi's inner voice? He had never heard anyone else's...

While thinking, Xi Bai smelled the cold fragrance of pine wood.

With the warm body temperature close to him, his eyelids soon began to fight, and after blinking a few times, Xi Bai fell asleep slowly and calmly.

※

His eyes suddenly opened, and the scarlet color quickly dyed the originally black pupils red like flowing ink, and finally slowly compressed into a red blood spot, and then extended to the upper and lower ends, turning into a vertical line.

The pair of vertical pupils were like a blood moon stretched tightly in the night sky, with a breathtaking beauty.

The slender fingers gently brushed through Xibai's hair, and the pair of seemingly cold and ruthless scarlet vertical pupils revealed a trace of human tenderness and attachment.

The next second, a black shadow flashed out of the room.

The person sleeping peacefully on the bed was not startled or disturbed by the silent tenderness under the night.

During this time, the nights at North City University were always very quiet.

Because all the noisy, trouble-making, and courageous Yin creatures were torn to pieces by the unknown powerful being at midnight before the winter solstice. The

Yin creatures that remain are either socially anxious ghosts who avoid people even when they go out at night, or socialist enthusiastic ghosts who will pick up things that they accidentally knock over.

Even the students said that they always felt that some places in the school were eerie when they came back from the lab at night, but now they didn't feel that way at all.

And tonight was especially quiet.

In the small woods near the dormitory area, the female birds in the tree houses treated the chicks under their wings more seriously, and the ghost mountain elves who were whispering to each other also retracted their heads into the shadows of the trees.

In the darkness in the deepest part of the woods, black mist enveloped the ground, and two figures, one black and one white, floated above it.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Xie Bian and Fan Wushe were startled, turned around abruptly, and prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Master Ghost King."

Gu Chi waved his hand, "If you have something to say, just say it."

He was still hurrying back.

Xie Bian and Fan Wushe looked at each other.

It seems that Lord Ghost King has adapted well to life in the human world. One can actually see from him a slight irritation of having his sleep disturbed and an eagerness to go back.

But in fact, Gu Chi did not have any requirements for sleep.

He just wanted to go back to Xi Bai as soon as possible.

"Lord Ghost King." Xie Bian stepped forward and said his purpose in a concise manner, "In the ghost prison, a powerful ghost escaped."

Gu Chi's fingers rubbing his temples stopped at this moment.

Under the underworld, there is not only one way to reincarnate. The eighteen levels of hell often mentioned in the world of the living actually exist.

And the "ghost prison" is where those souls who have been tortured in hell, paid for their sins, but still have not obtained the qualifications for reincarnation will go.

Although the name sounds simple,

the torture that ghosts suffer in it is no less severe than that in the tongue-pulling hell or the endless hell.

The ghost prison is a small house without light.

Ghosts in it will be tied up by their limbs with soul-catching ropes, as if they are in the void, without sound, light, or anything that can be touched. Even shaking the chain cannot make a sound.

In the ghost prison, you can't feel the passage of time, and you don't know how long it will take to atone for your sins and be released...

It is a place like the void, without any hope.

If you are not a ghost with a serious sin, you will not be thrown into the ghost prison.

Therefore, many ghosts in the ghost prison will breed infinite hatred and fall into madness because of such torture.

"Which one escaped?"

The two impermanences looked at each other, and finally Xie Bian answered.

"Your Highness, it's..." Xie Bian's expression tightened, and he lowered his head even lower, "Yes, Wuxiang."

Until this moment, he had been absent-minded from the moment he appeared until now, and he would look back at the dormitory not far away from time to time, as if he was a large dog eager to return home. Finally, he took a serious look at the two subordinates in front of him.

"Wuxiang."

Xie Bian's expression was panicked, and he knelt down with Fan Wushe beside him.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The scarlet vertical pupils flickered slightly.

"I can't blame you."

"It's only a matter of time before Wufang escapes."

Wufang is a famous and powerful ghost that brings trouble to the world. It was Gu Chi who sealed it with his own hands and suppressed it in the ghost prison.

On the day when he was defeated by Gu Chi, Wufang made a vow: If he escapes from the ghost prison in the future, he will take revenge on Gu Chi.

Xie Bian and Fan Wushe breathed a sigh of relief and told the details of how the seal of the ghost prison loosened some time ago, Wufang escaped from the soul-snatching formation, and escaped from the underworld.

"Okay, I know." Gu Chi said.

"Your Highness, you still have to pay more attention to this side..." Fan Wushe hesitated again and again, but still reminded him.

Gu Chi snorted coldly, "Would I be afraid of him?"

"Your Highness, of course I'm not afraid, but there's another person beside you now..."

Xie Bian stopped talking and quietly observed Gu Chi's reaction.

Sure enough, Gu Chi's face became a little solemn.

"Okay, I understand."

"Then, I'll take my leave."

Xie Bian was about to leave when he heard Gu Chi say something like "Wait. "

The black mist that had swept up settled again, and the Black and White Impermanence maintained their original movements.

"Your Highness, please give me your orders."

Gu Chi spoke with his red eyes flashing a few times.

"If Xi Bai comes to you to ask about me in the next few days, be careful about what you say, and don't let him doubt my identity."

"...I understand."

Xie Bian and Fan Wushe hurriedly bowed again, and then turned into two black mists and disappeared into the night.

Scarlet vertical pupils appeared again in the quiet dormitory.

The red turned into stars and dispersed, and Gu Chi's eyes turned back into human black round pupils.

At this moment, Xi Bai groaned and turned over.

Gu Chi quickly slowed down his movements and caught the person.

Xi Bai's head hit Gu Chi's chest muscle directly.

But he seemed to be still asleep, and did not realize that he had completely turned over in his dream, from facing away from Gu Chi to throwing himself into the other's arms.

The light in Gu Chi's eyes had already become indescribably gentle. He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, raised his hand, and his slender fingers gently poked the small piece of soft flesh on the side of Xi Bai's face that was piled up because of his sleeping posture.

Xibai hummed and raised his hands.

He pinched his face with his fingers and waved them.

With his head resting on Gu Chi's chest, Xibai seemed to feel very comfortable, so he moved a few times and buried his face deeper.

At this moment, Gu Chi could not remember what the hell prison was, what the prison room was, and what all the nonsense was.

There was only one sentence left in his mind.

Xibai is so cute.
