Chapter 162 Expansion of the Development Zone
N just left like that.
Tu Lanxun numbly pressed the first gear of the new necklace, hugged N once, and just as he was about to pull away, N held him in his arms.
At the time, N said, "Many people and ghosts are looking for me. If anyone comes to ask about me, just tell them I'll be back anytime."
Why don’t you say that you won’t come back because you don’t know him or have never seen him?
Judging from his tone, those people must have bad intentions. And N wants Tu Lanxun to choose deterrence rather than severing ties.
Furthermore, if he could really come back at any time, Tu Lanxun would not have said that.
"Will you come back?" Tu Lanxun grabbed N's clothes for the first time, leaving two wrinkled fingerprints, and her nails were pinched so hard that they hurt.
N's voice was faint, mingled with the subtle fragrance of plants and trees, penetrating into Tulanxun's seven orifices. He said, "Yes."
"How long will that take?" Tu Lanxun frowned slightly. "Can I know roughly where you went and who you might have run into?"
N lowered his long lashes and stroked Tu Lanxun's hair intermittently. His technique wasn't particularly gentle, and the movements were quite large, so it felt more like stroking a donkey than a small animal. "I don't know. I can't. I don't know." Tu Lanxun was so angry that he wanted to kick him. He had just raised his knee when N quickly said, "I don't know the whole story. Some of what I know can't be told to you. It needs to be kept secret. It won't do you any good if you know. It's probably still about the Tianguo Group."
"Oh." Tu Lanxun somehow felt a lot more relaxed. At least he wasn't running away from the battlefield, but was facing a more dangerous battle head-on. But then again, why did he go?
Tu Lanxun blinked, squeezed out the tears, and asked in a dramatic tone, "Whose love potion did you drink? Aren't we the best conjoined twins in the world? How come I didn't even know you had this plan?"
As he spoke, his heart sank. N had that awful personality, so watery, and when he got excited, he just wanted to tell her everything. The two of them could spend an entire afternoon together, and he could go from his orphanage memoirs to his tragic school life to his adventures in the Kingdom of Heaven Group and my years as a ghost.
He whined and babbled, and his words were saying, "I'm so pitiful, come and comfort me."
He would tell her everything he could to earn her sympathy, a touch, comfort, and a hug. He didn't just tell her, he planned it, like composing an essay or the rhythm of a talk show, absolutely sparing no effort to establish his "I'm miserable, but I'm strong" persona as a beautiful, strong, pale rose.
But regarding what happened today, he didn't say anything. It was like he tore off his mask and broke up with her abruptly - N didn't mean to break up, but Tu Lanxun first felt provoked, and then began to feel scared.
Without saying a word, what a serious problem N must have encountered.
If it turned out that what happened to him wasn't that serious, how painful it must have been for him when she stabbed him to death with her elbow.
What was going on? When did N first start wanting to do this?
The computer ghost girl and Sonia never said that anyone came to see N when she was asleep or not on the first floor of the convenience store.
Seeing Tu Lanxun's expression unchanged, but his eyes flickering repeatedly, and he unconsciously raised "Mikhail's elbow," N seemed to be trying to suppress a laugh. He let out a long sigh, looked Tu Lanxun in the eye, and said very seriously, "I'm wrong. You can hit me now."
Tu Lanxun waved his hand and babble in a careless manner, "I'll wait for you to come back. If you can't come back, I hope we can leave a good impression on each other."
N selectively ignored the strange words "I can't come back." A little more warmth appeared in his broken eyes. He was just like that. He had never tasted the feeling of being pampered since he was a child. Now that someone was pampering him, he became arrogant. He turned his head away, revealing only the back of his head and half of his shallow dimple, and said, "What are you going to do if I can't come back?"
Tu Lanxun raised his eyebrows: "Eat, sleep, do business, and find a new boss. I think Mikhail is a good one."
"You dare." N turned around angrily and looked directly at Tu Lanxun. But after a long silence, he suddenly stammered, "You can't go with him. He likes Suoniya. You should find someone else."
Tu Lanxun: “…”
Great, so he's arranging his funeral here. Tu Lanxun wondered how many more surprises there were that she didn't know about.
"Did you know that cheating on someone's feelings is also a crime?"
"I promise you with my soul that I will come back."
"No matter what you really want to say." Tu Lanxun pulled the black-gloved hand off his shoulder and shrugged, "You've already made a promise. You're welcome."
"I only found out about this after we'd been together for over a month. I had always harbored illusions. I thought things could be resolved and I could be with you all the time. I'm sorry that the new necklace didn't arrive so quickly."
Tu Lanxun sniffed and raised his chin. "Don't talk like anything happened between us."
"I like you."
"If you can't come back, can you tell me where to find you?"
"That green belt on the outskirts of the city, you've been there."
"I'm not talking about the body. But you reminded me. Tomorrow I'm going to report it to the city government, saying there's a historical relic buried there." Tu Lanxun glared at him, repeating word by word, "I say, if you never come back after you leave, and you don't come back after the war, where should I find you?"
N's expression was unprecedentedly fragile, like a child being picked up by the teacher in class for not doing his homework, as if a single punch could knock him down. He finally lowered his eyes and whispered, "...Then don't look for her."
Now the one who got punched seems to have become Tu Lanxun.
It feels like adopting a stray cat, feeding it well, and finally raising it into a clingy, pointy-eared cat boy. Then one day, you suddenly see the stray cat standing on the windowsill, with a bag slung over its shoulder, saying, "Man, I'm off to the battlefield."
The key point is that no one knows whether it is really going to the battlefield or doing something else.
Tu Lanxun waved his hand weakly, signaling him to go.
"I've made all the arrangements. Take care of yourself." N leaned over again and kissed her gently on the edge of her forehead.
Tu Lanxun felt an itch at his hairline, as if hair was starting to grow. His eye sockets were also itchy, as if his brain was about to burst out.

"So you just let him go?" Sonia screamed in the convenience store. "Are you kidding me?"
Tu Lanxun looked up from the account book. "Then what should I do? Hold his legs and beg him not to leave?"
Sonia was about to collapse: "What are you doing? Go and fuck him! Either give him a slap or a fuck before we leave."
The computer ghost nodded: "You can come together."
Bai Xiaoju, who was standing next to him, was still listening intently. Tang Weining coughed violently beside him. "Sosososo, Miss Niya, we have a young child here."
The potato pancake kitten came and lured Bai Xiaoju away. Tu Lanxun saw Bai Xiaoju secretly making faces behind the shelf. In fact, judging from the year when Bai Xiaoju died, she should have reached the psychological age of adolescence and understood everything.
Tu Lanxun leaned back in his chair, bored, and grabbed a bursting sausage for himself: "Whatever, let's go on with our lives and business as usual."
Mikhail couldn't help but speak up for his brother: "This is also..."
Tu Lanxun glanced over and asked, "Do you want some grilled sausage?"
Mikhail answered loudly: "Yes!"

Things went much more smoothly than Tu Lanxun had expected. The large number of ghost deserters who had been there before were almost all recruited. The ghost bandits played to their strengths and, with a few scare tactics and intimidation from the street, they actually extorted a lot of money.
Tu Lanxun asked them to return the money to the prisoners - but deducted 5% of the space occupancy fee from each person, and then arranged accommodation for them one by one.
That night, she saw the new prisoners holding a big party. She didn't know what they were celebrating, but half the street was decorated with lights and colors. They also collected money and went to the convenience store to buy beer, juice, various foods, and a stick of incense that they needed to use sparingly.
Tu Lanxun held the incense box silently. It was one of the things N left under her pillow.
"What are they celebrating? Are they so happy about being caught?" Tu Lanxun sat in front of the convenience store and ate a chicken leg.
Bai Chao came over with a paper cup of beer, "You don't know?"
"Should I know?"
Bai Chao wiped the beer foam from his lips and said, "They came to Lucheng to harass it because the lobbyists sent by the Heavenly Kingdom Group promised them that if they took Lucheng, they would have a place where ghosts could eat, live, play, and socialize."
Now, they haven't taken anything, but they have this territory.
It's like a group of adventurers eager to see aliens in person. After searching for them for the thousandth time without success, the aliens suddenly hold them down from behind and say, "Sorry, you are under arrest."
As a result, the originally vacant development zone was now nearly one-third full, and people could be seen on the streets.
Bai Chao sat down next to Tu Lanxun and waved his hand to decline the chicken leg. "I heard from Tang Weining that all the ghosts in the city have come here now. There are no ghosts on the living side. And Tang Weining's eyes, thank you, Lanxun."
The first experimental subject of the eye-covering earthwork of Toothless Ghost, the eldest son of the Baishu tribe, was Tang Weining. Tu Lanxun himself did not need this, but Tang Weining, who had to be possessed to enter and exit the development zone, almost cried while hugging Bai Xiaoju after being smeared with green mud.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Tu Lanxun asked Bai Chao.
Bai Chao shook her head. "I'm not leaving yet. Xiaoju likes it here very much. And if we can build a place where we can live freely, it would be good to keep our relationship a little longer." She paused and added, "I'm talking about the mother-daughter relationship between Xiaoju and me."
Tu Lanxun was very happy that Bai Chao could stay. She recalled the time when she went to investigate the case of the Tang brothers with trepidation, the green train, the white teddy bear, the body parts in the freezer... She was still afraid of ghosts at that time.
I stayed awake all night, and by the time dawn came, the ghosts outside were already rejoicing.
Tu Lanxun blinked wearily and saw a message from Wen Chong on his phone: "Come to the South Branch. Principal Wei's soul has been found."
