As the footsteps got closer, Yan Zhi and Yun He faintly heard the voices of Xiang Yin and Lin Ling talking.
"Sister Lingling, I really heard a noise in my brother's room." Xiang Yin was about to fall asleep, but was woken up by the noise coming from Xiang Yan's room next door.
In order to prevent herself from hearing wrongly, she got out of bed and listened to the wall for a while.
"There really was a sound in my brother's room, as if something fell to the ground." Looking at Lin Ling who was a little unconvinced beside him, Xiang Yin assured him.
"..." Lin Ling was a little skeptical of Xiang Yin's statement. There was no one next door, so how could there be any sound?
Could it be that...
Lin Ling was startled and couldn't help thinking of some strange things, [If there is no one, then will there be...]
Frightened by her own imagination, Lin Ling quickly came to her senses and tightly grasped Xiang Yin's arm.
Lin Ling: “…”
Xiang Yin: “…”
The two people stood at the door of Xiang Yan's room and looked at each other, then Xiang Yin raised his hand and slowly approached the door handle of the room.
Yan Zhi and Yun He, who were standing in the room, heard what Xiang Yin and the others said outside the door. They looked at the messy things on the ground, then looked at the smoke that was bundled into a ball, and there was a hint of panic in their eyes.
[What should we do?] Yun He frowned slightly as he looked at the mess around them. They couldn't sort it out for a while.
[I don’t know either.] Yan Zhi looked at the door in panic, then looked at the room that seemed to have encountered an unexpected disaster, feeling a little helpless.
Snap——
There was the sound of turning the doorknob.
Yan Zhi: "!"
Yun He: “!!!”
The two men turned their heads sharply to look at the door handle, then turned around together and jumped out of the window holding the tied-up Smoke.
So... after Xiang Yin and Lin Ling carefully opened the door of the room, they did not see anything horrible, only a room... that was very messy, as if it had been ransacked.
“???” Lin Ling and Xiang Yin looked at the scene in confusion, not knowing how to react for a moment.
"There's a thief!" ×2
After a few seconds, Xiang Yin and Lin Ling reacted. They walked in hurriedly. Looking at their brother's messy things, Xiang Yin frowned with a headache.
"There are so many things. I don't even know if anything has been stolen." Xiang Yin looked at the pile of things on the ground in annoyance.
Xiang Yin and her friends usually wouldn't enter Xiang Yan's room. At most they would just look at the door a few times, so she had no idea if anything was missing from Xiang Yan's room.
"This..." Lin Ling also frowned and looked around the room. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's clean it up first. We can look at the rest after Xiang Yan comes back."
It’s not good to have it in such a mess now. It will be easier to count things after it’s cleaned up.
"Yeah." Xiang Yin nodded, then started cleaning the room with Lin Ling.
The more he cleaned up, the more Xiang Yin's brows furrowed.
Because it was so strange, the things in the room didn't look like they were messed up by someone. Instead, they looked like they were blown around by the wind, or were pressed down by something heavy.
After packing up for a while, Xiang Yin felt something was a little strange. She felt that there was something wrong with the mess, as if someone had fought inside...
But how is this possible? Who would stay up late at night and run into someone else's house to fight? Isn't this crazy?
After cursing the thief who sneaked in in her heart, Xiang Yin began to clean up resignedly. There was no other way. She couldn't just watch her brother's room be so messy.
Xiang Yin had thought about calling the police, after all, the thief had already run into his house.
But there was nothing valuable in Xiang Yan's room? Although he didn't know if Xiang Yan had lost anything, Xiang Yin still knew clearly what valuable things there were in the house.
Xiang Yin and his two siblings are just students. There is nothing valuable in their home, and all the money is on their cards. The cards and these things are in the hospital because Xiang Yan is sick.
In other words, even if it was stolen, it's not something valuable. Even if you call the police, they may not take it seriously and just ask a few questions at most?
But even if nothing was stolen, it didn't mean Xiang Yin wasn't angry. She silently cursed the thief who messed up the room countless times in her heart.
On the other side, Yan Zhi and Yun He, who had no idea that they were being scolded by their sister, jumped out of the window and ran out of the community.
Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…
Following the blowing wind, Yan Zhi and Yun He found a quiet place to hide.
"So...what should we do now?" Yun He kicked the smoke ball on the ground.
Now that they have left Xiang Yan's home, the two ghosts can be said to be homeless. After all, they have no place to live in Xuzhou City, and Yun He doesn't know where to go for a while.
"Let's take a look at what this thing is first." Yan Zhi looked at the dark sky, and then looked at the smoke on the ground in the moonlight.
Anyway, they don't need to rest, so they can take their time wherever they want. But this smoke cloud needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Yan Zhike didn't want to take it with him wherever he went.
Following Yan Zhi's words, Yun He also fixed his eyes on the smoke. He blinked, then squatted down and looked at the smoke. He poked the smoke twice with a stick in his hand, "You..."
Yun He was about to say something when he realized that the feeling from his stick was not right. He originally thought that the stick would not hit anything, after all, there was only a cloud of smoke without a specific shape in front of him, but the touch from the stick just now...
He raised his hand and poked twice again. Yun He felt the soft, bouncy touch of the stick, as if it was still breathing. He threw the stick away suddenly, then quickly stood up and took a few steps back.
"Fuck, what is that?" Yun He's face showed a bit of panic and disgust, as if she was frightened by the strange touch.
"Uh..." Seeing Yun He's expression, Yan Zhi's gaze towards the smoke ball changed. He silently took a step back, "What do you think it is?"
Although the smoke group could think of a way to get into Xiang Yan's room before, Yan Zhi was not someone he could communicate with.
This ball of smoke seemed to have only a vague bit of common sense, a goal, and roughly knew what to do in its mind, but it couldn't communicate with people, just like... a baby?
A newborn baby is like this, confused and unable to communicate, and can only stare at you with its eyes open.
"..." Turning his head and looking at Yan Zhi in silence, Yun He slowly said, "That's the one you're thinking of."
Yan Zhi felt that this ball of smoke was like a baby that couldn't communicate. Based on his own feelings just now, Yun He felt that the word "like" could be removed.
This is basically a newborn baby, right?
It is confused and cannot communicate. When you poke it, it is soft and bouncy, like a little meat ball. It seems a little cute?
How cute? How can such a weird baby be cute?
When Yun He thought about how he had just poked him with a stick, he felt goose bumps all over his body and was scared to death.
"A baby..." Yan Zhi also felt uneasy. He silently moved closer to Yun He and guessed, "I remember Sister Lingling said that she has been having nightmares recently? And she dreamed of a bloody baby?"
"And before having the nightmare, Sister Lingling happened to meet an injured senior sister. That senior sister was stabbed several times in the stomach?" Yun He glanced at Yan Zhi with understanding, and then continued to ask.
Neither of them expected the other to answer; they knew the answer as soon as the question was asked.
After the two people gave their answers, the thing that was originally surrounded by blurry smoke revealed its true appearance.
Just as Yan Zhi and the others thought, there was a tiny baby inside the smoke.
It seems a little too early to call it a baby. The thing in the smoke is somewhat different from a born baby. His umbilical cord has not fallen off yet, his fingers have not completely separated, and there are faint traces of blood on his body. He is an unborn, newly formed embryo!
"Sister Lingling has really suffered an unexpected disaster." After Yan Zhi and Yun He's speculation, they roughly understood what happened to Lin Ling.
The matter is actually quite simple. This ghost baby should be the child of the senior student who was stabbed several times in the stomach.
The child was about to be born, but before he was born he was stabbed several times in the stomach and died alive in the stomach.
For some unknown reason, the dead baby did not disappear as before, but instead turned into the ghost baby it is today.
As for why this ghost baby was pestering Lin Ling...
Yan Zhi and the others guessed that she was just unlucky.
Maybe it was because Lin Ling happened to be there at the moment when the baby died, so she was entangled.
After all, Lin Ling didn't know the injured senior.
But now is not the time to look for the reason. The most important thing is how to get rid of this baby ghost, right?
Yun He frowned and looked at the baby ghost lying quietly on the ground beside him, not knowing what to do.
Although he was too ignorant to communicate, the baby ghost could sense the danger. He knew he could not defeat Yan Zhi and the others, so he had been quiet since he was captured and did not dare to make any sound.
"Hmm..." Yan Zhi on the side was also a little confused.
Although he is the King of Ghosts, matters such as dealing with ghosts are usually left to Zhong Mingyuan and others, and he only needs to make the decisions.
So he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Kill? The baby ghost was dead, how to kill it? And Yan Zhi couldn't do it either. When they encountered a ghost, they would catch it and hand it over to hell for processing. Killing it themselves... Unless it was an emergency, they would not kill ghosts.
It is impossible to let it go. If the two of them were not here today, who knows if Lin Ling would have been harmed by this baby ghost.
Moreover, although this baby ghost has a lot of evil spirits because of his tragic death, he is not an evil ghost. Yan Zhi's subordinates are all evil ghosts, and he is better at dealing with matters related to evil ghosts...
As for Yunhe...
When ghosts meet him, their favorability towards him will increase again and again, and they will never fight with him. How could he know how to deal with ghosts?
"Well...you watch here." Yan Zhi seemed to have thought of something. After saying something to Yun He, he turned and walked in one direction.
"?" Yun He glanced at Yan Zhi in confusion, and then didn't ask any more questions. He just stood there and waited.
…………
On the other side, in the palace of the King of Hell.
Yan Wang drank two glasses of wine and then told Ihara what happened.
Oh, this refers to the past in Yan Wang’s memory. Ihara himself has not experienced it personally.
"Thinking back then, I was also young and frivolous. I was unwilling to stay in hell forever, so I always ran to the human world." The King of Hell showed a nostalgic look.
In order not to expose the fact that he knew nothing, Ihara could only listen silently and dared not make any comments.
"The human world at that time was not as technologically advanced as it is now, and it was still a feudal dynasty." Yan Wang recalled for a moment, and then continued: "I met a boy by accident, and he is also the person I fell in love with later."
Having said this, the King of Hell shook his head slightly, with a hint of regret in his words, but more of relief.
The situation was quite complicated at that time. The boy's family and the people in the society at that time would not agree with two men being together. Although the King of Hell didn't care, he always had to consider the boy.
And hell is also a big problem.
The King of Hell will eventually return to hell, so what should they do then?
Just when the King of Hell was worried, Ihara found him and said he had a solution.
"To be honest, I still remember clearly what you said at that time." Yan Wang looked at Yi Yuan a little nervously, but when he saw Yi Yuan's indifferent face, he became serious and stopped joking, "You said..."
[I can divide the power of the King of Hell into two parts, and give half to the King of Hell's wife. But if I divide it, I can't get it back, and I won't regret it. And this process is very complicated and takes a long time. ]
Following Yan Wang's words, the system also sent the original conversation data to Ihara.
The authority of the King of Hell cannot be changed at will. After all, it concerns the entire hell.
However, at that time, Ihara was the guarantor, and Yan Wang liked the human boy so much, so Yan Wang agreed to Ihara's suggestion without much thought.
The King of Hell took great pains to separate the powers.
Moreover, in order to prevent everyone in Hell from objecting, the King of Hell made all the preparations secretly. After all, everyone in Hell knows what the King of Hell's authority represents, and they would never agree to give half of the management rights of Hell to a human being.
Listening to Yan Wang's words, Ihara poked the system in confusion.
[Are these all fake memories you created?] Ihara was a little curious whether the person Yan Wang liked really existed.
[No, I just added you, nothing else has changed.] The system will not make any major changes to the memories of Yan Wang and others, and it is even more impossible for them to like someone.
In other words, Yan Wang did fall in love with a human boy at first. Judging from the fact that Yan Wang is alone now, the ending should not be a good one.
Ihara's joining actually didn't change anything, it just gave Yan Wang the impression that Ihara was also present in the original incident, which served as proof that Ihara was real.
"In order to prevent the people in Hell from knowing about the chaos, you handled many related matters for me." The King of Hell said this with a smile in his eyes, "That's why they think you are about to become the King of Hell's wife."
"..." Looking at the smiling King of Hell, Ihara thought about it for a moment and understood what had happened.
Because it was inconvenient for the King of Hell to take action, Ihara was in charge of not only the division of power, but also other matters related to the preparations for the wedding.
The people in hell didn't know that their King of Hell had taken a fancy to a human, so they naturally misunderstood that Ihara and the King of Hell were going to get married.
And because the King of Hell really wanted to marry a human, this misunderstanding couldn't be explained before the wedding, so it could only remain as it is...
"Later... the marriage didn't happen. I am still the King of Hell who controls the entire hell, and you just happened to leave hell and go to the human world." The King of Hell said with great emotion: "After you left, everyone was speculating about what happened between us."
Since Yan Wang didn't mention what happened to the human boy he liked, Ihara didn't ask either. Instead, his attention was on other places.
After thinking about it for a while, Yi Yuan also understood why the system added such a memory to Yan Wang and others.
What the system wants is for Ihara's identity to truly integrate into hell.
With this memory, the King of Hell will definitely be close to me, and those people in Hell will also pay attention to Ihara because of the misunderstanding, at least they will have an impression of him in their hearts.
Because of this memory, Ihara not only solved his identity problem in hell, but also thrived in hell and was very comfortable. No one would question his identity at all.
In the future, Ihara will get help from hell when he catches ghosts or handles some things.
It’s like killing two birds with one stone!
[System... I didn't expect you to be so smart.] Yi Yuan praised the system with a little surprise.
The system has always been auxiliary. Apart from pinching the shell, Xiang Yan and his team didn't use the system much. They didn't expect that the system would quietly give Yi Yuan such a big surprise.
[Hmm?] The system seemed to be not here with Ihara just now. After Ihara spoke for a while, he responded: [This is all set by the adults in the Space-Time Bureau. I am just executing it.]
The system has a clear positioning of itself. It is an auxiliary system. He is not good at things that require a lot of thinking. However, some of his friends in the system are good at strategies.
Moreover... Xiang Yan's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the system feels that its usefulness is getting smaller and smaller, so he has rarely appeared recently.
But the system was not sad. It had experienced several hosts before Xiang Yan and was used to this situation.
Rather than staying by Xiang Yan's side doing nothing all day, he would rather play cards with his system friends.
"..." After hearing what the system said, Ihara didn't know what to say for a moment. Should he say that the system is really too straightforward?
[Sigh~] Ihara sighed in his heart, stopped talking to the system, and turned to look at the King of Hell.
Ihara has roughly understood the relationship between his shell and the King of Hell, and he also knows that his future activities in hell should be quite convenient and comfortable.
but……
I really can’t drink!!!
Ihara's attention returned to the drink he had just started with.
He didn't pay attention for a while, and Yan Wang had already drunk a lot of cups one after another, and he kept urging Yiyuan to drink with him.
"Huh? Yiyuan, why don't you drink? We haven't seen each other for such a long time, of course we should have a good drink. Come on, drink!" Yiyuan found that Yan Wang didn't seem to have a good alcohol tolerance. Seeing him drink so happily just now, he didn't expect that he was almost drunk after just a few glasses.
"I won't drink it. I have something to do later." Ihara declined.
"No, you have to drink it." Yan Wang frowned, stood up shakily, and then looked at Yi Yuan, "Hurry!"
"Be careful!" Yi Yuan carefully supported Yan Wang, and then took away the wine glass in Yan Wang's hand, "You are drunk, I will take you back."
As he said that, Ihara supported Yan Wang and started walking towards the room where Yan Wang was resting.
When they were halfway there, Ihara and his companions met the Three Yamas who came to report something.
"Huh?" The Three Yamas were stunned when they saw the drunk King of Hell, then they and Ihara helped the man back.
After settling the King of Hell, the Three Yamas and Ihara looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
According to the information provided by the system, he should not be very familiar with this Third Yama, and they are just nodding acquaintances.
So Ihara didn't want to greet him too enthusiastically for the moment.
San Yanluo had a similar idea to Ihara. He felt that he was not very familiar with Ihara and didn't know how to greet him.
"Uh...long time no see." Finally, it was San Yanluo who spoke first and greeted Ihara.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since we last met." Ihara simply nodded to San Yanluo.
“…”
“…”
After the two people greeted each other, they fell into an awkward atmosphere again. Finally, it was the maid from the King of Hell's Palace who came over and broke the silent and awkward atmosphere.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Seeing the maid coming to take care of the drunk King of Hell, Ihara nodded to the Three Yamas, then turned and walked out.
Seeing Ihara leave, San Yanluo did not leave immediately. He glanced at the drunken King Yan, then looked at the maid beside him. Something seemed to flash in his eyes. He pretended to be curious and asked, "When did Lord Ihara come back? What did Lord Yanluo and the others talk about just now?"
"Hmm..." The maid thought for a moment and replied, "Lord Ihara just came back not long ago. Lord Yanwang asked him to drink. As for what the Lord and the others talked about, I don't know."
"It seems to be about how Lady Ihara almost became the Queen of Hell." Another maid replied.
"Huh? That thing?" San Yanluo raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he was surprised by the conversation between Yan Wang and Ihara.
"...I understand." The Third Yama nodded to the two maids, then said, "Then I will come to see Lord Yama again tomorrow." Then he turned and left.
After the three Yamas left, the two maids who were still waiting to answer questions suddenly froze for a moment, then shook their heads in confusion, "Strange, what happened to me just now? Why can't I remember clearly?"
"Nothing serious." Another maid also frowned, "Maybe I haven't had enough rest recently."
"Maybe..."
…………
The three Yamas walked out of the King of Hell's Palace, thinking constantly in their hearts.
[Hasn't Ihara been staying in the human world? Why did he come back suddenly? Did he know about our plan?]
[No, he probably doesn’t know, otherwise he wouldn’t be like that…] San Yanluo narrowed his eyes slightly, various guesses emerging in his mind.
