Chapter 30 Chapter 30
So, inspired by Zhuang Suan, Xi Bai found a suitable night and helped another innocent ghost. When writing the petition, he deliberately wrote that he would ask Xie Bian and Fan Wushe to come.
Soon, two familiar figures, one black and one white, appeared in the woods with the rising black mist.
Xi Bai took two steps forward and just bowed, "You two..."
"Hello, hello." Xie Bian came forward with a smile and greeted Xi Bai before him.
Fan Wushe also said, "Long time no see."
Xi Bai wondered in his heart, are the current hell so easy to deal with?
He had heard Zhuang Suan gossiping that the underworld's ghost messengers were not good-tempered. Sometimes when their heavenly masters encountered problems that they could not solve and asked the underworld for help, they would always be scolded.
But at that time, Xi Bai only thought that he would never have to deal with any ghost messengers in his life.
But now it seems that the Black and White Impermanence are still quite easy to deal with.
Xi Bai returned the greeting and gestured to the ghost hiding behind the tree.
"This is a... abandoned little girl."
He briefly talked about the ghost's life. The child had never hurt anyone, but was just playful. When she was "looking for friends" in school, she accidentally scared a few students.
If possible, I hope that the underworld will be lenient, punish those who deserve it, and send her to reincarnation.
"Of course, please rest assured, little brother." Xie Bian responded with a smile.
"You two are really approachable." Xibai flattered him.
Fan Wushe glanced at Xie Bian who was chatting with Xibai, and thought to himself, "That's not right, don't you even look at who is behind you?"
He looked to the side, and in a dark place deep in the woods, a pair of bright red vertical pupils were quietly looking in this direction.
The ghost king, I don't know when, has come. Xie Bian
took the ghost child's hand and was about to leave
. Xibai said to keep him.
"By the way, I have another thing I want to ask you two adults."
Xie Bian: "Please go ahead."
"I want to ask if you can help me check a name in the Book of Life and Death." Xibai said.
The Book of Life and Death records the birth, aging, illness and death of all living things in the world. If we can know the relevant information about Xiao Gu Chi, we can accurately judge whether Gu Chi is a human or a ghost.
Just as the thought came to mind, Xi Bai heard Fan Wushe's voice.
"Sorry, everything in the Book of Life and Death is confidential to the underworld and cannot be passed on."
Xi Bai was stunned and said subconsciously: "Last time I..."
"I'm really sorry." Xie Bian also shook his head and refused politely, "Last time it was you who checked it, little brother, so there were fewer taboos, and strictly speaking, it was not allowed."
Because Xi Bai helped the underworld many times, they opened a "back door" last time.
"Oh..." Xi Bai uttered a single syllable lightly, and his eyes dropped a little.
Although I had expected it in my heart, this kind of thing would definitely not be so easy.
But after being rejected, Xibai was somewhat disappointed and frustrated.
"Little brother, what troubles have you encountered?" Xie Bian was obviously more humane than Fan Wushe. Seeing Xibai's depressed expression, he asked with concern.
Xibai thought about it. The two ghost messengers in front of him had been dealing with ghosts for thousands of years. Perhaps they were more familiar with his situation than the heavenly masters in the human world.
So he decided to tell the truth.
"It's like this. I have a friend recently. After getting along with him, I think he may not be a human."
Xibai briefly talked about his situation. This was also the first time he told the secret of his ability to "read minds" to someone other than Zhuang Suan.
Xie Bian and Fan Wushe looked at each other.
They always knew that Gu Chi was by Xibai's side, and they always wondered why Gu Chi was unwilling to see Xibai with his true face.
After a conversation tonight, they got the answer.
First, Xibai might be afraid of ghosts, or hate ghosts.
And second, Xibai has the ability to read minds,
and Gu Chi probably doesn't want him to know some other thoughts in his heart. Although he doesn't know the details, Xie Bian has dealt with all kinds of ghosts in the past thousand years, and ghosts are transformed from humans.
In other words, he has seen too many people's hearts.
After a few times, he actually guessed the situation of Xibai and Gu Chi.
No wonder the Ghost King came to remind them two days ago to "be careful with their words" to Xibai... Xie Bian said.
"What do you mean be careful with your words?"
Xie Bian was scared to death.
"Ah! Don't read my mind!!!"
His eyes instinctively looked deep into the forest.
Then he saw:
(丨_丨)
The moment he met that pair of scarlet vertical pupils, Xie Bian was almost scared to death.
"I, I didn't mean it."
Xi Bai quickly waved his hands to apologize. He didn't mean it, but he just couldn't control himself.
But...what do you mean by careful words?
The red vertical pupils flashed again, and Xie Bian took a breath of cool air.
He thought quickly and said, "I mean, this situation is not really "serious". You heard it wrong, little brother."
The sense of oppression from the woods suddenly disappeared by half.
"Oh, really." Xi Bai hesitated for a moment.
But he didn't hesitate for long.
He was more concerned about: "Is it really not serious? If the person next to me is a ghost..."
Xie Bian said, "Then has he hurt you? "
Xi Bai was silent.
Xie Bian and Zhuang Suan both mentioned the same thing.
No matter whether Gu Chi's real identity was a human or something else, from beginning to end, he had never hurt Xi Bai in the slightest.
There were so many opportunities, and Xibai had fallen asleep defenselessly beside him countless times.
Even Gu Chi had "protected" him countless times - although Gu Chi himself might not know it.
Seeing Xibai's attention distracted, Xie Bian quickly turned his head.
He saw the vertical pupils in the woods gradually begin to distort, and the red line changed its shape.
(√_√)
...What kind of operation is this.
But the meaning is concise.
Later, Xibai asked a question, and Xie Bian answered it. After answering, he looked into the small woods to receive the "instructions" from his superiors.
If what he said was right, Gu Chi would say: (√_√)
If he shouldn't continue to say it, Gu Chi would say: (X_X)
In short, the meaning was conveyed.
Xie Bian told Xi Bai that "Gu Chi is not necessarily a ghost. Even if he is, he has not harmed Xi Bai. We can wait and see what happens."
It was similar to what Zhuang Suan said...
Xi Bai thought about it and asked tentatively, "I wonder if the two adults have any methods to help me try..."
"No!" Xie
Bian said, and subconsciously looked at the woods.
(←_←)
Xie Bian: !!!
Oops, the answer was too fast!
As expected, Xi Bai's expression became more suspicious again.
Fan Wushe on the side made a prompt decision and interrupted.
"We can't interfere with the fate of the living."
People who speak less are more convincing. After listening to Fan Wushe's words, Xi Bai really didn't doubt it.
"I understand." He nodded. Xie Bian
breathed a sigh of relief.
When the two impermanence looked at the forest again, there was only darkness.
The pair of vertical pupils that kept changing had disappeared - Gu Chi was gone.
"Then, we'll take our leave first." Xie Bian said goodbye quickly and pulled Fan Wushe away, so as not to say anything wrong and arouse Xi Bai's suspicion.
The black mist disappeared, and Xi Bai stood there quietly for a while.
His originally chaotic heart seemed to have calmed down again after thinking about it for a few days, and with the help of Zhuang Suan and the Black and White Impermanence.
Gu Chi. He
silently recited this name in his heart and mouth at the same time.
Xi Bai closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
Turning around, he walked towards the direction of the dormitory.
Dark clouds climbed up the sky, covering the bright moon that was originally hanging high in the sky.
On the top of the West Mountain, the highest point of North City University, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils quietly emerged. A
tall figure stepped out of the black mist. Gu Chi's eyes scanned the surroundings, but he did not find any expected figures.
He sniffed lightly and caught a hint of pungent blood in the cold air under the dark night. With
a cold light flashing in his eyes, Gu Chi scanned the surroundings again.
"Wu Xiang has been here."
"Strengthen the patrol of the Yincha."
The two sentences of the soul transmission drilled into the ground. Gu Chi estimated that Xi Bai would soon reach the dormitory.
Turning around and turning into a black light, he swept towards the dormitory area.
At the same time, Xi Bai was walking on the school road back to the dormitory.
He lowered his head and thought about the content of the conversation with Xie Bian just now, but suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Xibai turned his head suddenly, but saw nothing.
However, he realized that there was no one else except himself on the tree-shaded school road where he was walking.
Feeling a little scared, Xibai quickened his pace, and for some reason, he always felt that someone was staring at him in the dark.
And not long after he left.
A tall, thin, and somewhat hunched figure walked out silently from the trunk of a tree.
The figure stared at Xibai's back and smiled with a mouthful of creepy white teeth.
