"Mu Zhiqiu, are you the Ghost King?"
Mu Zhiqiu looked at Bai Manxing, who was questioning him, and stopped approaching.
Even Qiuqiu stopped crying. It turned out that he should have been killed long ago.
In this way, the two of them can be together for the rest of their lives.
"Why do you ask that?"
He lowered his eyes and suppressed his thoughts.
"There's no one in this alley. Don't you think it's suspicious?"
"And I know your parents died overnight. Some people say it was because of you."
"You're investigating me?"
Mu Zhiqiu's eyes suddenly became sharp because of these words, and he stared at Bai Manxing expressionlessly.
"I just want to prove whether you are a human or a ghost."
Bai Manxing met those dead eyes, and his pupils suddenly dilated. It was an instinctive fear.
"Manxing, don't you want to know my identity? Let me tell you a story."
Bai Manxing looked at Mu Zhiqiu, who was feeling depressed, and suddenly she didn't have the courage to listen any further, but she knew that the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so she could only grit her teeth and clench her fists.
Mu Zhiqiu looked at Bai Manxing who was standing there without moving, smiled at himself and began to tell the story.
"I was born with evil spirits. I could see evil spirits when I was born."
“When I exposed the situation to my parents they started to get scared.”
"When I was four, my parents took all their belongings and left home. I was the only one left in the empty house. When the neighbors found out, they chased me away like I was getting an infectious disease. I wandered all the way and luckily survived until now."
"The reason why there is no one here is because I scared them away with the ghost."
After all, he couldn't bear to see Bai Manxing scared, so he simplified his situation.
In fact, when he was a child, his parents didn't believe him and thought he was lying because he could see these things. But when they found out that he liked to smile foolishly in the corner, they looked at him as if he were a madman, and beat and scolded him, thinking that he was a disaster star and that the family was so poor because of him.
From then on, everyone could bully him, and no one would ask him if he was in pain or hungry.
Until one day he really called out the ghost, and he still remembers his mother's terrified expression.
In the end, his parents were scared away by his wild laughter, and the next day all the belongings in the house were gone.
When he was a child, he didn’t understand why his parents scolded and beat him because they thought he was lying, but left him after he called out the ghost?
But as he grew up he realized that they were afraid of him, everyone around him was afraid of him.
Since then he has been alone, and anyone who wants to bully him will be bullied back by the ghosts around him.
These evil spirits are afraid of him, so he should be the King of Ghosts, right?
"Now that the story is told, shouldn't you answer some questions for me?"
Mu Zhiqiu looked at the dazed Bai Manxing with a surprisingly calm tone.
"Wait, wait, wait! Let me sort this out... Since you have parents, you can't be the Ghost King, right?"
Bai Manxing looked at Mu Zhiqiu suspiciously. Was there anything he was hiding?
“…”
Mu Zhiqiu admired Bai Manxing's generosity.
"Although I don't know for sure, I'm definitely not a human."
"! Whatever you want to ask, I can tell you everything."
Bai Manxing felt relieved when she saw Mu Zhiqiu, who was the same as always. Since she was so calm, she probably didn't intend to kill her, right?
"What's the treasure on you?"
Bai Manxing: That's a really sharp point! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"I don't."
"...Just go."
Mu Zhiqiu looked at the little girl in front of him, and suddenly lost interest in asking, so he went back into the house.
"Hey hey hey! Qiuqiu~ Don't close the door, I want to go in too."
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
His hand, which was closing the door, stopped on the door frame, and he looked down at Bai Manxing, who was only as tall as his chest.
"Haha, I actually had this guess a long time ago. As long as you don't deal with me, I won't leave."
In the end, the two continued to live together as if nothing had happened.
But it's good to chat, Mu Zhiqiu basically doesn't eat.
"That Qiuqiu~ does she want to eat fruit? Oh! Look at my brain, Qiuqiu doesn't even like to eat."
Bai Manxing said as he picked up a piece of mango and put it in his mouth.
“Hey~”
She looked at Mu Zhiqiu with an unhappy face as he snatched the fruit plate.
“I like eating fruit.”
Mu Zhiqiu seemed not to see Bai Manxing's gaze. He elegantly picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it, even though it tasted like wax.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
After the two of them talked, Bai Manxing could be described as attentive to him.
"Qiuqiu, that, that is, um, that is, Qiuqiu, do you know why these evil spirits appear? I don't remember this happening before."
"Don't think about it, I did it."
Bai Manxing was so choked by Mu Zhiqiu's straightforward words that she didn't know what to say.
"Then Qiuqiu, can you please not do it~"
"Bai Manxing, are you approaching me just to stop me from destroying the world?"
Bai Manxing looked at Mu Zhiqiu who suddenly looked at her, panic flashed in her eyes, and she was speechless for a long time.
"Hmm~ Tell me about the stars."
He pinched Bai Manxing's chin, pushed her against the sofa, and looked into her eyes gently.
The inky black eyes gradually turned deep red, making Bai Manxing's originally clear eyes gradually blurred.
"The stars tell me that you are close to my purpose."
The voice is deep and magnetic, like a siren in the deep sea that captivates the mind.
"I didn't mean to get close to you. I just wanted to find a place to live at first."
"Then why did you stop me?"
"Because, because I like Qiuqiu, I don't want him to do this."
"Really? Stars."
Mu Zhiqiu kept his eyes on Bai Manxing while asking questions. Noticing that her tone was a little hesitant in this question, he increased his ability to confuse her and asked again.
"I, I wow wow wow ~ What if I die? Those evil spirits like my jade, I don't want to be eaten alive, wow wow wow ~"
At the end, Bai Manxing burst into tears.
"Wuwuwuwu, I'm most afraid of pain. Being eaten alive must be very painful. I don't want to die yet..."
Mu Zhiqiu looked at Bai Manxing, who was crying out of breath, and fell silent.
Although this answer was a bit beyond his imagination, he somehow felt it was reasonable.
This is the kind of Bai Manxing he likes.
"Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you, just sleep peacefully."
He patted Bai Manxing's head and hypnotized him.
This time he didn't leave as usual, but sat silently by the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.
At the same time.
An old Taoist temple deep in the forest of Lingshan.
Four old men sat cross-legged in the hall with their eyes closed. Golden light emanated from their heads, and an unpredictable formation appeared in the sky above where they were sitting.
The four old Taoist priests didn't know how long they had been meditating, but they finally opened their eyes at three o'clock in the morning.
"I've cracked it. This is the ancient killing formation recorded in the book. The key to the formation is right there."
