Chapter 118 Pushing open the old iron door, there was a creaking sound, and the feeling of crampedness surged in like a tide.
I pushed open the old iron door with a creaky sound, and the feeling of crampedness surged in like a tide.
The space behind the door was very cramped. A worn-out sofa took up most of the space. Next to the sofa was a wooden table piled with miscellaneous items: a few unopened boxes of instant noodles, crumpled newspapers, a few well-read books, and talisman paper that looked like ghostly talismans.
Not far away, a single bed was pressed against the wall, with a washed and faded quilt neatly placed on it. At the end of the bed was a small box with an iron lock, which probably contained the most valuable things in the apartment.
Although the entire apartment was cleaned very cleanly and tidy by Yao Yaoyao, it still frowned, as if it could not bear it.
"Do you usually live here?"
Yao Yaoyao took out a bucket of instant noodles from a huge paper box beside her and boiled water to fill her stomach.
She felt like she would starve to death if she didn't eat.
She wolfed down the noodles and faced the evil ghost's questions. Perhaps because it had stayed with her for so long and did not try to kill her, she finally stopped trembling when she spoke to it.
"I'm a freshman. Because of my special physique and my desire to enter the Tianshi Temple, it's inconvenient to stay in the school dormitory, so I gave up the dormitory and rented an apartment here. It's close to the school, just a few steps away, and the yang energy is strong, so ordinary ghosts don't dare to get close. What's more important is that it's cheap. I bargained with the boss for a long time before I finally got this."
"We talked for three days, three whole days." Yao Yaoyao raised her face from the bucket and pointed three fingers at it. The misty water vapor stuck to her face, covering her almond eyes, making her amber pupils look even more translucent. She seemed a little proud.
Black Mist paused, stood beside her sullenly, and asked hoarsely, "Children of this age should be raised by others. Where are your family members?"
Yao Yaoyao was stunned. She didn't expect ghosts to gossip. She buried her head in the bucket again and sucked the noodles that had become a little soft due to the water.
"I have lived in an orphanage since I can remember, and the people there have treated me very well. Now I am in college, the director's mother is old, and there are still many younger sisters in the orphanage who have not yet reached adulthood. I don't have the ability to give back to them, let alone trouble them."
The fine water light is faintly visible in the amber pupils, like the rippling surface of a lake under the moonlight, with sparkling water.
The black fog expanded a bit, and the cold mist surged uncontrollably around it. It stretched out a sharp claw in pain and covered its chest. Inside, the rotten heart hit its body again and again, causing its sharp claw to painfully pierce into its chest and pinch the particularly restless heart.
The scarlet eyes looked around the small apartment in a daze. It was so small that if the yin energy expanded slightly, it would fill the entire apartment.
It seemed like it hadn't felt such strong emotions for a long time.
What was this? Why did its heart hurt so much that it could hardly breathe.
The turbid Yin Qi kept entwining and circling around it, splitting into several strands, roaring and snarling. However, it tacitly avoided Yao Yaoyao, who was shivering in the corner. If those Taoist masters with deep Taoist skills saw it, they would definitely take out their own life-saving magic weapons as if they were facing a great enemy. Even they had never seen such a fierce ghost. Unfortunately, it was Yao Yaoyao who saw it.
It took a long time for it to calm down, retract its cold and overbearing yin energy, and shrink back to its normal size.
According to its memory that has been shattered to the point where it cannot be shattered any further, this emotion... seems to be called sadness.
Why is it sad?
As soon as the evil ghost lost control, Yao Yaoyao ran away like a rabbit, picked up the peach wood sword and protected it to her chest. She pressed close to the wall and observed it carefully.
Black Mist looked at her for a long time, then slowly said, "Why don't you just die? I'll protect you after you become a ghost."
?
"Ahhhhhh, don't kill me, I can offer incense to you." Yao Yaoyao, whose nerves were already tense, turned even paler. She trembled and tried to negotiate with the only evil spirit who did not covet her body.
She anxiously pulled her phone out of her pocket and tapped with trembling fingers. The more anxious she was, the more likely she was to make mistakes. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She tapped back and forth several times before successfully tapping the interface. She clicked on the beautiful picture of the object.
"Would you like this mint-flavored incense? It's the latest model from Tianshi Mansion. All the ghosts who have eaten it have given it five-star praise. I'll order it now."
Heiwu just looked at the frightened girl in front of him quietly and said nothing.
In fact, it's kind of speechless. Is it that scary?
Seeing that it didn't answer, Yao Yaoyao gritted her teeth and clicked in, intending to buy a few sticks. After buying these incense sticks, she was afraid that she would have to eat instant noodles for several months.
"No, I don't eat that stuff, it tastes bad."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately exited the interface. It didn't matter if it didn't eat, she still had to save money to buy it for her sister. If she bought it, what would her sister eat?
It remembered that someone would burn incense for it every few months. It ate a few bites when it was hungry, but it found it hard to swallow, so it went to eat the evil spirits. However, it kept the incense well in its place in the alley.
It thought that it could burn incense for it every once in a while, fearing that it would be hungry. That person must love it very much, and even if it didn't eat, it couldn't waste her kindness.
In fact, it had always suspected that the person who burned incense for it was the reason why it had been lingering in the human world and refused to leave. It wanted to see her again. However, it had no way to track her location through the incense that appeared out of thin air in front of it.
"Then... then what do you want to eat? It's not me, is it?" The expression that had just relaxed became tense again under the black fog's silent attitude, fearing that she would start to howl again. It stepped forward and grabbed her open lips, and said quickly:
"When I'm hungry, I can suck your blood. It won't kill you. As payment, I will be your thug and protect your life during this period."
Yao Yaoyao's trembling body stopped a little, and her tearful eyes turned around a few times. She blinked, seeming a little unbelievable. After a while, she mustered up the courage and asked weakly: "Really? You will protect me?"
Black Mist became a little impatient with her question and said coldly:
"Of course. As the ghost king, my words are always true. If I say I will protect you, I will. After I die, I have never seen a ghost that I couldn't defeat."
It's still a ghost king. Yao Yaoyao's tearful eyes brightened up a little. Then its fighting power should be quite strong.
After thinking silently for a while, she gave up her original plan and tricked it into going to the Tianshi Mansion to let the Tianshi deal with it.
Ever since her sister died in the operation at Tianshi Mansion, her vague longing for Tianshi Mansion was shattered.
Not long after my sister joined the Tianshi House, she died in the Tianshi House's secret operation to eliminate evil spirits. According to the Tianshi House's obituary, my sister was torn to pieces by evil spirits, and no body was left.
But my sister is not such a reckless person. She joined the Tianshi Mansion to do missions only for the high bounty and would never rush to the front.
Therefore, even though the cause of her sister's death has not been determined, she does not completely trust the Tianshi Mansion.
Now that she has a powerful fighter, she can take on missions more frequently, enter the core of the Tianshi Mansion as soon as possible, and personally investigate the cause of her sister's death.
As for being sucked of blood, she didn't really care. It was just a mouthful of blood. Even if she was eaten whole, as long as it could avenge her sister, she would be willing.
That's it...that's it
"Can we discuss this, can you...can you knock me out when you suck my blood? I'm afraid I...will affect your appetite."
Yao Yaoyao took a deep breath and raised her face to negotiate with it.
Black Mist slowly stretched out a hand, wiped away the tears that had overflowed from her face, and said nonchalantly: "Of course. I don't like lively food."
Yao Yaoyao, who should have been happy to hear this, now stiffened her body and dared not move. She held her breath and looked at the hand that wiped her tears but did not leave and continued to wander on her face in horror.
It gently pinched Yao Yaoyao's fair chin, forcing her to raise her face and look directly at it.
"Were you trying to scheme against me just now?"
Although it was not familiar with the child in front of it, but looking at her expression just now, it inexplicably had an intuition that her expression just now was plotting against it.
"No, no, I'm such a coward, how could I dare." Staring directly at the dark and gloomy energy, Yao Yaoyao seemed to see the rotten, stinking and unrecognizable corpses inside. She swallowed in fear and shook her head tremblingly.
An expression as if he was about to faint from fright.
"Tsk." It glanced at her with disdain and retracted its claws. What else could such a weak human do to it?
After observing it for a while and seeing that it stayed aside without any other movement, Yao Yaoyao carefully took out clothes from the closet and pointed to the smallest bathroom at the back.
"Then... then I'll go take a shower and then report to the Tianshi Mansion. You... you can do whatever you want." Being stared at by those scarlet eyes, Yao Yaoyao had to use a lot of effort to prevent herself from stuttering.
"Hmm." The black fog responded vaguely.
The rustling sound of bathing stopped after a while. She was still afraid of the evil ghost hanging around in her house, so she simply washed herself and came out.
The cheeks, reddened by the hot water, were pink and tender, like a round and plump glutinous rice dumpling. The eyelashes were drooping wetly, covering the pair of watery almond eyes.
After taking a shower, I seemed to feel a little better. My face, which was always panic-stricken and frightened when facing it, softened, and a faint smile appeared on my face, with two dimples cutely sunken in.
Yin Hong's gaze shifted from her face to her clothes.
The white nightgown was printed with a crooked strawberry bear pattern. It was very childish.
The black fog sneered for no apparent reason.
"What a brat."
What do you know? My sister bought this.
Yao Yaoyao was so angry that she threw the clothes into the washing sink and rubbed them vigorously a few times.
