Chapter 27 Infinite Ghosts
The ghost baby is very busy.
After delivering its murderous aura, it turned around and floated into the prison, trying to pull the shikigami off the legs of its imprisoned son.
When it tries hard.
…
Jiang Xia sorted out the cigarette box that was filled with murderous intent and looked at the two first-grade kids next to him.
Conan was still holding his neck and coughing - the white-haired old lady had pinched him hard just now.
Ayumi patted him on the back, then turned her head and secretly looked at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia looked at her and asked casually, "Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay!" Ayumi answered loudly.
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Xia hesitantly. She felt that according to the convention of being rescued in TV dramas, she should give a kiss to express her gratitude. Look, this big brother even half-knelt down. The savior gave such an obvious hint...
Ayumi then leaned closer expectantly, thinking whether to kiss the left or right cheek, and blushed as she whispered, "Thank you x..."
Before she could touch him, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder from behind, stopping her.
Conan advised solemnly: "Don't kiss him."
...Based on the last experience, I'm afraid I can only kiss the mop this time.
Afterwards, they would be blamed for something strange.
Ayumi had already been frightened quite a bit today. If she were to suddenly be attacked by friendly forces again, she might burst into tears.
Jiang Xia would definitely not care about something like a child crying.
By then, I will have to coax her myself...
…
Ayumi didn't know the inside story.
She looked at Conan in surprise, guessing that Conan was jealous, and began to seriously struggle with whether she should choose the savior who came out of nowhere or the classmate she had known for a longer time.
At this time, a series of footsteps were heard in the passage.
The police found the dungeon.
…
Inspector Megure walked in with several of his subordinates, and stopped in shock when they saw the scene inside.
...In a society ruled by law, there are people who secretly build prisons right under their noses.
It's outrageous. It's really outrageous.
Inspector Megure felt guilty when he saw the miserable citizens in the prison. He walked over with concern and wanted to comfort them.
Unexpectedly, the "victim" inside saw the police and suddenly jumped to the railing like a tiger, crying with joy, "Let me out! I want to surrender!"
Memu Police Department: "...surrender?"
…
As soon as these words came out, the shikigami clinging to his son's legs suddenly let go.
The ghost baby was pulling the shikigami's legs with a hissing sound. As soon as the shikigami relaxed, the two ghosts rolled into a ball and fell to the ground with a thud.
The ghost baby was slightly stunned.
After a moment, it came to its senses, happily dragged the Shikigami, ran back to Jiang Xia, and handed over the ghost it had picked up.
At the same time, it looked eagerly at the cigarette box in Jiang Xia's hand.
Jiang Xia suddenly had an unexpected gain and was in a good mood.
He opened the cigarette box, cracked out a ghost mint from it, and prepared to light up the murderous aura to celebrate.
Just as he was about to light it, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and went straight for his cigarette.
Jiang Xia subconsciously raised his hand to avoid it and looked to the side.
The person who tried to snatch the cigarettes turned out to be a policeman.
Officer Sato frowned slightly: "You smoked in high school, what will happen to your lungs when you grow up. Where did you get this cigarette?"
According to regulations, it is prohibited to sell cigarettes and alcohol to minors anywhere. If he was stolen from home... then it is necessary to talk to his parents.
Jiang Xia faced her sharp gaze and sighed silently in his heart.
For a long time, in Jiang Xia's impression, 18 years old is considered an adult.
Who knew that once I changed places, there would suddenly be a gap of two years.
The police stopped him, so Jiang Xia had to put the cigarette into his sleeve under the gaze of the ghost baby QQ and explained: "I don't smoke. I just like to smell the burnt aroma when the cigarette is just lit. It helps me think."
Next to him, Conan's eye twitched.
He remembered that the last time he rescued the kidnapped little girl, Jiang Xia not only lit a cigarette, but also smoked it all in a short time.
What's more, now that people have already grasped it, there is no need for "help in thinking" at all.
The police would never believe Jiang Xia’s lies.
Conan was thinking about it when he saw Sato Miwako nodded: "So that's how it is."
Conan: “……?”
…
Officer Sato doesn't judge people by their appearance alone.
She mainly feels that there are actually quite a few differences between long-term smokers and non-smokers.
As for Jiang Xia, whether it's the color of his teeth, the shape of his fingers, or the smell of his body, he doesn't have the characteristics of a smoker.
And...and Jiang Xia really looks sincere and inexplicably friendly, which makes people want to trust him.
…
Jiang Xia sent the police away, collected the new shikigami, and returned to the logistics company to hand over his shift.
…
The next day, after he woke up, he sat there in a daze for a while, recalling the grand scene in his dream where he raised his arms and called out to hundreds of ghosts to respond.
Then he pressed the seal on his heart and released all the ghosts and shikigami sealed inside.
Four ghosts were lined up on the quilt, one ghost baby and three shikigami.
The shikigami is quite obedient, lying motionless on the quilt like a real piece of paper.
The ghost baby looked around in confusion and habitually wanted to lean towards Jiang Xia.
Then they were ruthlessly pushed back onto the quilt and forced to line up.
Jiang Xia released the ghosts and pointed at them one by one, 1, 2, 3, 4.
...Only four.
I counted again, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Still only this much.
...It’s still better in dreams.
Jiang Xia held his chin and sighed softly:
I don’t know if I can continue the dream I just had if I lie down and take a nap now.
…
On the quilt, the ghost baby stared at Jiang Xia's fingertips, thoughtfully.
At this time, Jiang Xia began to count for the third time out of boredom: 1, 2, 3, 4...
This time, after the ghost baby was counted, he rolled a few times quickly and moved to the end of the team.
Jiang Xia's counting fingers stopped on its head: "...5."
Just barely made it an even number.
Both humans and ghosts felt comfortable.
The ghost baby rubbed his hands obediently, then looked at the cigarette box beside Jiang Xia's pillow with longing eyes.
Jiang Xia knocked out a cigarette, turned it between his fingers twice, but did not light it:
"It's not very convenient to keep calling you 'you you you'. Why don't I give you a name?"
Ghost baby: “…”
Thinking of the names Jiang Xia gave to his precious potted plants, the ghost baby not only wanted to shake his head, but also wanted to run away.
...But Jiang Xia was holding its food in his hand.
The ghost baby bit his finger, hesitated for a long time, and nodded with resigned expression.
Jiang Xia was very satisfied with its cooperation: "Let's call it Xiaobai."
The ghost baby breathed a sigh of relief subtly.
Although it's a bit brief, it's okay, it's not a cat egg, a dog egg, a pig ear, or a green chicken comb...
…
So when Jiangxia called it "Xiaobai", it responded cooperatively.
Jiang Xia touched its head with satisfaction, got out of bed, walked to the table, and lit the ghost mint.
When Xiaobai was happily sucking the ghost mint.
Jiang Xia put the several shikigami on the bed back into the seal, prepared to pack up and go to the office for work.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Jiang Xia was startled, walked over to open the door, and found that there was a express delivery.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He hasn't shopped online recently, and no one usually sends him anything.
Only Shirley and her sister would occasionally send some homemade health care medicines over.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia reached out and took the express delivery.
As before, the sender column had an "S", which was the initials of Shirley's English name.
