Chapter 48: Butler Jing's One-Day Tour to the Ghost Realm x2
After an unknown amount of time, Jing Yi opened his eyes.
The familiar desolate scene, the sky was cloudy and dim, there was no wind or shadow in front of him, the dark bridge had no end in sight, and the silence was terrifying.
Jing Yi: "..."
After pausing for two seconds, he gently lay down and closed his eyes calmly. He must have had a nightmare, otherwise how could he have come to the Naihe Bridge again?
But it doesn't matter if you have a nightmare, you can just sleep for a while.
It's a pity that someone didn't want him to sleep, and kept chattering in his ears -
"Where is this place?"
"Isn't this some new type of prison?"
"It feels so eerie, why can't I remember how we got here?"
"This place looks haunted."
"I want to go home, I don't want to stay here, it's too scary..."
"Shut up!" Qiu Guzheng spoke angrily. He had a strong murderous aura and a bad complexion. As soon as he opened his mouth, he shocked the chattering of the people around him.
Seeing Jing Yi lying quietly, Qiu Guzheng walked over and grabbed his collar coldly, "What on earth is this place? Is it a conspiracy between you and Li Wenzhao? Why did you bring us here?"
Jing Yi opened his eyes, his clear pupils were beautiful and round: "Where is this place? You can find out by looking at the words on the bridge."
Qiu Guzheng was stunned: "Aren't you a stutterer?"
Jing Yi frowned and retorted sarcastically: "Have you ever seen a stutterer who speaks so fluently?"
Qiu Guzheng, who just reacted, looked ferocious: "..."
They were deceived by Jing Yi.
His hands were already stained with blood. Killing one person is killing, killing two is killing, and human life is nothing more than a splash of warm blood in his eyes.
Qiu Gu was looking at Jing Yi with a gradually cold look in his eyes. Just as he was about to strangle Jing Yi, a scream came from behind him -
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes, this is..." Pei Pei was out of control and pointed at the stone tablet at the end of the bridge. His face was pale and he couldn't speak.
Yang Zai Lun walked over: "Why are you still stuttering because of the infection?"
Pei Pei hurriedly said: "Look at those words!"
The four people gathered around curiously. There was a stone tablet standing beside the dark bridge. The stone tablet was tall and hidden in the black mist. It looked at them quietly in this quiet corner. There were three big characters engraved on the tablet - Naihe Bridge.
"..."
Pei Pei murmured: "Are we... dead?"
"Impossible, it must be Li Wenzhao's conspiracy, he wants to save his housekeeper." Yang Zai Lun looked around in a daze: "I know, there must be a camera here, waiting for us to admit our crimes, yes, that's right, I'm not dead, how could I die?"
Pei Pei remembered something, pinched his arm hard, and his body shook violently: "Why doesn't it hurt... Why? Why can't I feel pain?"
Yang Zai Lun was stunned and pinched his arm as well.
"..."
Fang Heng smashed and smashed uncontrollably in the dark fog: "Come out! Who is there! Let us go back! Come out! I see you! I am willing to go back to jail, come and catch me, catch me!"
Fang Heng ran around in the dark fog like a mad bull.
The others, including Qiu Guzheng, were frozen, their faces full of disbelief, as if they had been paused.
Jing Yi looked at the four people from a distance and felt that his performance when he first met the Black and White Impermanence was not bad. Compared with this group of people, he was simply calm and composed.
However, this nightmare was a bit too long, and he couldn't wake up.
... Strange.
Fang Heng seemed to be crazy. He begged for mercy in the dark mist for a while. Seeing that it was useless, he began to go crazy. "Li Wenzhao! Shen Shubai! We were fooled by you! If you have the guts, come out and speak! What kind of man are
you if you hide behind? Come out!" At this time, Qiu Guzheng noticed that Jing Yi looked calm as if he was watching a play, as if he had always been free from fear. He trembled his lips and said
, "Why, why are you not afraid of death?" Jing Yi said seriously, "Why should I be afraid?"
It's just a dream, there is no need.
Qiu Guzheng: "..."
Jing Yi blinked and reacted, "Oh, yes, it's your first time, you should be afraid."
He said tolerantly, "It doesn't matter, you will get used to it after a while."
"..."
Is this human language? Why can't I understand a word?
Qiu Gu stumbled backwards, unable to accept the fact: “Impossible…”
“Nothing is impossible.” Jing Yi said in a flat tone: “It’s better to be open-minded and be a corpse openly… Oh no, be a ghost.”
“…”
At this time, the black mist began to surge, and two slender figures suddenly appeared in the thick mist. They had long limbs, tall stature, and somewhat weird proportions, and faint human voices could be heard.
"How could this girl run so fast? She died on the mountain and ran back home in half an hour. We had to look for her all over the world."
"Okay, it's enough to catch her. All five members are included."
"Yes, there's one more."
"..."
"Who! Who's there!" Fang Heng stared at the two people vigilantly: "Is it Li Wenzhao and Shen Shubai? You finally got out, take me back quickly, or I'll kill you-ah!"
The thin figure grabbed Fang Heng's crazy body and kicked him to the end of the bridge. "Shut up, you're so noisy!"
The black mist dissipated, and the figures of the Black and White Impermanence appeared in front of everyone, followed by Cen Mingming with a bloody face.
"Ah--" Pei Pei screamed in fear.
Cen Mingming turned around and saw Qiu Guzheng. Her eyes bulged with anger. Her face was full of resentment. She quickly rushed over to Qiu Guzheng and pinched his neck fiercely: "You dare to kill me... Bastard, I will strangle you to death!"
"Alright, stop arguing." Bai Wuchang took out the fate book: "Come here to confirm your identity, I will take you to the underworld."
The five-member team immediately became quiet as a chicken. Pei Pei shook his head and retreated: "I won't go, I won't go..."
"It's not up to you." Hei Wuchang said, "You guys have reached the end of your life span, and the underworld is your final resting place. The sooner you leave, the sooner you will be reborn. Don't delay our future work."
Bai Wuchang flipped through the fate book and said casually, "Leave the five of them to me, and you go talk to Jing Yi."
Hei Wuchang: "..."
He stared with a pair of bull eyes: "Why don't you go?"
Bai Wuchang remained calm: "I'll send them away first. Souls can't stay on the Naihe Bridge for long. Meng Po will scold the ghosts if she finds out."
Hei Wuchang: "Then why do you go and I go find Jing Yi?"
"..."
The two ghosts glared.
Then they said in unison: "Okay, let's go together."
They have been good colleagues for several years, sharing happiness and difficulties.
Bai Wuchang pulled out the soul-locking chain, locked the five ghosts on the bridge, and handed each of them a piece of paper from the underworld: "This is your death notice. Sign it if you have no problem. We have something else to do. You watch first."
"..."
Not
far away, a young boy sat on the bridge, holding his chin gently with his hands, and his pair of watery eyes were particularly well-behaved.
But only those who are familiar with his character know that once this seemingly well-behaved person gets stubborn, he will be like a stubborn donkey.
Black and White Impermanence pushed each other and came to Jing Yi. Before they opened their mouths, they heard the boy in front of them say, "Long time no see, both of you."
Jing Yi: (OvO)
White Impermanence coughed and said, "Hello, long time no see."
Seeing Jing Yi was so easy to talk to, White Impermanence's heart skipped a beat and swallowed back into his chest. It seemed that the second time he hooked the wrong soul, he should still be able to cover it up...
Before White Impermanence could find a good way to speak, he heard the boy in front of him say with a fake smile, "I finally caught you."
Black and White Impermanence: "?"
Isn't this their favorite line when they catch lonely ghosts?
Jing Yi didn't forget how he was deceived by these two ghosts. First, they hooked the wrong soul and made him die in vain, and then they threw him into the world of novels. The promised golden finger was not fulfilled. It can be said that they are old liars.
Liars should be punished.
Now that the ghost is in his dream, he should bully it back.
Jing Yi stood up and took a step forward. The Black and White Impermanence immediately stepped back with a strange look on their faces.
Huh?
It works?
It seems that the Black and White Impermanence are also ashamed of their dishonest actions.
The ghost can still be saved.
Jing Yi quietly straightened his chest. This moral high ground has now been occupied by him! As long as he doesn't come down, the Black and White Impermanence can only look at his chin.
"You two liars." Jing Yi pursed his lips and said, "You promised to let me be reborn, so why was I reborn into the world of novels?"
Bai Wuchang looked embarrassed and said, "It's mainly because the real society is more strictly controlled. With our job level, we can't cover up everything for the time being, so the world of novels is the best choice."
Jing Yi was led astray: "No one cares about the world of novels?" "
Not for now." Hei Wuchang said, "Besides, we have already chosen a suitable rebirth identity according to your requirements. A monthly salary of 100,000, right? No overtime? Is the employer a good person?"
Thinking of his employer, Jing Yi's face turned red involuntarily... Well, he was lucky to meet Li Wenzhao, so it was not in vain for this rebirth.
"Then you haven't fulfilled the golden finger you promised!"
"I gave it to you." Hei Wuchang pointed at his Adam's apple: "It's the loudspeaker. The mark is here. I saw it."
Jing Yi: "..."
Jing Yi: "???"
No, he has a golden finger?
So, Li Wenzhao can hear his inner voice not because he has supernatural powers, but because he is bragging?
Because he has a loudspeaker installed on his body.
Jing Yi: "..."
Hei Wuchang saw that he looked wrong, and reached out to touch his shoulder: "What's wrong with you...hiss, ah!"
Hei Wuchang seemed to be burned, and stepped back with his hand covered. Bai Wuchang quickly supported him: "Idiot, he is a living soul, why did you touch him, was he burned by the sun?"
Hei Wuchang leaned over and said: "Didn't I forget...hiss, it hurts me to death."
Jing Yi looked at Hei Wuchang whose face changed drastically, and didn't know what he thought of, his expression suddenly became a little ugly: "Do you feel pain?"
Hei Wuchang said: "Dead ghosts are also ghosts, why can't they feel pain."
Jing Yi: "..."
So, this is not a dream?
Jing Yi's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear, and the past scenes appeared in his mind one by one, and the last memory stayed at the top of the cliff where the cold wind bit.
Yes, that's right, he was kidnapped, and he and Qiu Guzheng fell off the cliff and fell into the sea.
So...
Jing Yi looked down at his hands in disbelief: "So, I died again?"
That sharp question...
"Actually, not really." Black Wuchang shook his head: "Just like last time, you were - um?"
White Wuchang quickly covered his partner's mouth: "It's okay, Mr. Jing, you accidentally entered the Naihe Bridge, shall we take you back?"
Jing Yi: "..."
He narrowed his eyes and started to chatter: "You two... have been attracted to the wrong soul again?" Wuchang
: "..."
Jing Yi suddenly realized what was going on.
In this case, he was not in a hurry to leave. As a poor guy who was wrongly killed twice, he felt that he should have some qualifications to bargain with Wuchang.
After thinking it over, Jing Yi sat down at the bridgehead leisurely, holding his chin and asked softly: "Can I see the old lady Meng Po this time?"
Wu Chang: "..."
Black Wu Chang was simple-minded and said impatiently: "No."
"Oh, you need real-name authentication to cross the bridge." Jing Yi said indifferently: "I can't go."
Hearing this, Black and White Impermanence breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, they heard the ancestor in front of them say innocently: "Then I will hang a banner, write a letter in blood, kneel on the bridge and cry. In this way, can Meng Po come over?"
"..." Black and White Impermanence broke out in a sweat.
Bai Wuchang hurriedly said: "Mr. Jing, we can talk about it. Everything can be discussed. Why do you have to disturb the old lady Meng Po?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips: "Then let's talk about it."
Jing Yi's attitude changed so suddenly that Bai Wuchang was stunned. After thinking for a while, he tried: "Why don't you just tell me what you want?"
Jing Yi didn't even think about it: "That's your sincerity. How can I ask it?"
After a pause, he raised his chin: "But the most urgent thing is to take off this trumpet first."
Bai Wuchang frowned and looked cautious: "Mr. Jing... This cannot be taken off before the host dies completely, and there is no way to stack buffs."
What? !
Jing Yi's eyes widened: "Then I have to be a trumpet all my life?"
Being a big colander, there is no little secret.
What's the difference between being naked in front of Li Wenzhao.
He looked at the Black and White Impermanence with displeasure: "Your golden fingers have no sense of boundaries."
"However, I can help you adjust it a little bit..." The White Impermanence thought for a while, and then came to Jing Yi and whispered a few words.
Jing Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a heartbeat: "...Okay then."
The White Impermanence breathed a sigh of relief: "Then we will send you back first."
Jing Yi turned his head: "When did I say I was leaving?"
"You didn't agree just now?" The Black Impermanence looked horrified: "So you are playing with us now?"
Jing Yi raised his chin and retorted: "Then you two have killed me twice in vain!"
The Black and White Impermanence paused and was speechless.
Yes, they were poisoned by high-tech products and made two big mistakes on Jing Yi, which made him unable to return home and forced him to be reborn into the world of novels.
They should be happy that Jing Yi doesn't care about their dereliction of duty.
Hei Wuchang pursed his lips and turned away: "What else do you want?"
Jing Yi: "Money."
He looked at the two people in front of him: "You should be able to get the currency of the novel world, right?"
Bai Wuchang couldn't help asking: "How much do you want?"
Jing Wudidong said: "Of course the more the better. It's not easy for me to come here. You can't let me go back empty-handed, right?"
Bai Wuchang: "..."
Do you think this is a good neighbor visiting? Bring some special products home before leaving?
Hei Wuchang gritted his teeth: "Okay, we will help you raise money."
"How long do I have to wait?" Jing Yi asked.
Bai Wuchang glanced at the chaotic mist in the sky, his face a little serious: "Mr. Jing, the flow speed of the novel world is different from that of reality. Up to now, ten days have passed in the world you are in."
Jing Yi: "......!!!"
Jing Yi couldn't sit still when he heard it, "Then I'm leaving. Don't forget to give me the money, otherwise I will write a blood letter to Meng Po."
"..." Bai Wuchang was silent for a few seconds: "Okay."
After the compensation terms were agreed upon, Jing Yi followed Bai Wuchang towards the Rebirth Pond. When passing the Naihe Bridge, he asked curiously: "Are all five of them going to drink the soup and reincarnate?"
Hei Wuchang said: "How is that possible? Two of them will go to hell, especially the one with the surname Qiu. Rape is one of the unforgivable sins in the underworld. He is expected to go to the fifteenth level. Only when he atones for all his sins can he get a chance to reincarnate again. However, he will most likely not be able to be reincarnated as a human."
Jing Yi did not feel sorry for Qiu Guzheng at all. He was now anxious to return to Li's house. His soul had been out of his body for ten days. Li Wenzhao should be very anxious, right?
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Jing Yi paused. Black Wuchang almost knocked him into the pond of rebirth because he didn't check. "What's wrong?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips with a complicated expression: "Well... I just want to know, my corpse... is my body still there?"
White Wuchang looked at the fate book: "Yes, the fate book shows that your body is in the intensive care unit 806 of the Capital City Hospital."
Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Li Wenzhao would bury him.
"Then let's go."
Yang Zai Lun saw Jing Yi being sent away from the chain at the end of the bridge, and said anxiously: "How can he go back?!"
Jing Yi turned his head away without thinking: "Ha, you don't know that I have someone under the ground."
"If you mess with me, you'll be in trouble!"
Fang Heng heard this, and rushed forward with hope in his eyes, but his body was blocked by the chain, "Butler Jing! Assistant Jing! Take me with you, I want to go back too! Please!"
"No." Jing Yi shook his head: "As for corpse stealing, it's enough that I've been involved once. It would be so scary if there were two more."
Wuchang: "..."
Bai Wuchang tapped the Rebirth Pond lightly, and a pool of stagnant water began to flow. The mysterious light of the underworld flew in from all directions and formed a light gate. Bai Wuchang leaned sideways: "Mr. Jing, walk into this door and you will return to your body."
Jing Yi stared at the light gate for a few seconds, and looked at Wuchang suspiciously: "I won't come back, will I?"
"Of course not." Hei Wuchang said: "How can anyone fall three times in the same place?"
Jing Yi narrowed his eyes: "You swear."
Bai Wuchang: "..."
Hei Wuchang said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I swear."
Jing Yi was satisfied then, took two steps forward, thought of something, turned his head: "I don't think I went there like this last time. Which of you kicked me?"
"..."
Hei Wuchang can't bear it anymore! With one palm, he called Jing Yi into the door.
Seeing this, Bai Wuchang made a complicated handprint, and a bank card chased Jing Yi and disappeared into the darkness.
"It's done, the plague god is gone." Hei Wuchang clapped his hands with satisfaction and returned to the bridge: "I don't want to go to hell anymore, you take them there, I'll go find Meng Po."
The chain automatically separated into two simple prisons, Pei Pei and Qiu Gu were trapped together, and pulled away from the Naihe Bridge.
Pei Pei shouted in horror: "Where are you sending me? Aren't you going to reincarnate at the Naihe Bridge?"
"Reincarnate?" Hei Wuchang sneered: "You wishful thinking, you two have killed people, and you have not been punished in the world, your crime is aggravated, you must first see the judge, and then go to hell to serve your sentence, and you can reincarnate after being released. In the next life, you will be a dog or a pig. Remember not to do bad things again."
Qiu Guzheng grabbed the chain tightly: "No, no, I won't go!"
The chain spun up without question, wrapping the few people into two balls of black mist, and disappeared in an instant.
The Naihe Bridge returned to silence, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, swallowing up all sins.
·
·
Shoucheng Hospital, critically ill 806.
The instrument at the bedside was beeping. The person on the bed had white skin and was thin and frail. He had been lying there quietly for half a month.
The ward was empty and quiet. The tall man sat by the bed without saying a word. His face was haggard and his clothes were messy. Although he was still wearing a suit, he was not as energetic as he was half a month ago.
Outside the ward separated by a door, Fan Mingzhi was overwhelmed and stopped the three young masters of the Li family.
"Sorry, Mr. Li said that no one can disturb him."
"Can't we?" Li Mingzhi tiptoed and peeked into the window: "I am also very worried about what happened to Butler Jing, but my brother stopped us from seeing him. How is Butler Jing?"
Fan Ming was stunned.
What's wrong?
It's very bad. When Jing Yi was first pulled out of the sea by President Li, his heartbeat was still there. He has been treated in the hospital for half a month, but his condition has been getting worse. Since yesterday, his spontaneous breathing has almost disappeared. The hospital has sent Li Wenzhao five critical illness notices in a row.
Fan Ming watched his boss become more and more depressed day by day, and he was so anxious that he didn't know how to help.
"Third Master, I'm sorry, I don't know." Fan Ming blocked the door and didn't let anyone get close: "Wait for President Li to come out, then you can ask him yourself."
"But he won't come out." Li Ting said anxiously: "I don't know where the Jing family got the news from, and they have called me more than ten times."
Fan Ming still said the same thing: "I'm sorry."
·
In the ward, a breeze rushed in through the window that was not closed tightly. After a while, the boy on the bed fluttered his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.
What he saw was the monotonous white ceiling, and his breath was full of the pungent smell of alcohol. Jing Yi turned his eyes with difficulty and saw Li Wenzhao beside the bed.
The other party hadn't slept for a long time. His handsome face was full of fatigue and haggardness, his eye sockets were deep, and his beard was dark blue. He was staring at the instrument on the bedside motionlessly, and didn't realize that he had woken up.
Jing Yi opened his mouth, feeling that his body functions had deteriorated a lot this time, and even a simple movement was more strenuous than before.
He slowly raised his hand, and his slightly cool fingertips touched the broad and warm palm beside the bed, and he spoke hoarsely: "Young Master..." Li
Wenzhao was stunned.
Then he turned around mechanically, his eyes met his, full of disbelief.
Jing Yi whispered: "I'm back." Li
Wenzhao was stunned. He had imagined Jing Yi's expression and tone when he woke up. He had been expecting for too long, and disappointed for too long. When the surprise came, he was rarely able to react.
Jing Yi recovered for a while, and felt that he had accumulated some strength. He sat up by the head of the bed and said with a smile: "Young Master?"
Li Wenzhao kept his eyes on him. Feeling the familiar breath, he gently bent down and hugged the person on the bed into his arms, with gentle movements, for fear of hurting the person.
"I'm back..."
"Yeah." Jing Yi nodded and was held obediently.
Li Wenzhao must be scared by him. In just more than ten days, he has lost a lot of weight. He felt a little distressed and closed his eyes in the arms full of security.
"I'm sorry, did I wake up too late?" Jing Yi's voice was muffled.
If I had known, I would not have talked nonsense with the two impermanent ghosts. I wasted a lot of time and made Li Wenzhao wait for so long.
"Glad that you're back." Li Wenzhao gently stroked his thin back, holding him tightly without resistance, "Don't disappear again next time."
Jingyi: "Okay."
He didn't want to leave anymore.
The two hugged for a while, and then there was a strange sound in his ears, and something fell to the ground.
Li Wenzhao came to his senses and turned his head, and saw a small black and gold card appeared out of thin air on the ground beside the bed. There was no mark on the card itself, "What is this?"
Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with surprise. He struggled to get out of bed: "Master, this is a good thing, mine, I want to get down..."
"Don't move." Li Wenzhao held his restless shoulders: "I'll let the doctor give you a comprehensive examination first."
However, Jingyi couldn't sit still at all, and his butt kept moving towards the bed eagerly: "Card, card, my card."
[Money, money, my money! 】
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows, picked up the card on the ground, and then pressed the call bell at the bedside. Turning around, he saw the housekeeper holding the card with excitement and smiling very happily.
Li Wenzhao rubbed his head: "What is this?"
The boy on the bed smiled slyly, as if hiding a treasure, and carefully put the card into his hand, "Master, I stole Wuchang's money to support you."
Li Wenzhao: "......?"
