Although he was extremely nervous, Tang Yuanyuan still put on a fearless look, forced a smile, looked up at the young man in front of him and asked:
"Ha...are you so eager to collect the price? The method I mentioned before that can increase more spiritual power is not ready yet...if you start now, you may suffer a big loss, right?"
Hearing this, No. 4 glanced at her and replied calmly: "It doesn't matter."
Tang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat again, and she said, "It doesn't matter. If you don't mind, I don't mind. I'll think of ways to live a little longer!"
But No. 4 didn't seem to care about her thoughts, and just continued: "I don't care about the extra spiritual power, it actually doesn't help me much."
"Because what I need is not actually the spiritual power in you...but..."
There was another meaningful pause when he said this, and Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but hold his breath for a moment as his emotions fluctuated with his words.
But what? You finished it in one breath! Why is a ghost who has no respiratory problems gasping for air?
Tang Yuanyuan complained so anxiously and nervously, but before her muttering in her heart ended, she heard the other party's answer the next second.
"Your body."
As soon as these words came out, the person and the ghost fell into a deathly silence. Tang Yuanyuan raised his eyes and looked at the other person with an unbelievable look in his eyes.
If he hadn't said a few minutes ago that he wanted to eat her up physically, she would have thought she had run into some drama where a domineering president fell in love with me.
She took a step back with a bad look on her face, fearing that he would open his bloody mouth and tear her into pieces in the next second.
Why does it feel like it has turned out to be the worst situation she expected? If the other party just wants her spiritual power, she can still think of ways to peel off part of it to avoid the worst outcome, but at this moment, doesn't it mean that she wants to eat her alive? ? !
The boy opposite did not miss the rich expression changes on her face. Looking at her startled look, he suddenly chuckled, and then added:
"Don't be nervous, I have no intention of eating you alive here."
"I just want to borrow your human body to do something... Humans with yin and yang eyes and such a special spiritual power are not easy to find, so I hope to borrow your specialness."
"Borrowing my special features?" Tang Yuanyuan repeated the other party's somewhat strange words, "Do you want me to do something for you?"
"That's right." He did not deny her question, "I need you to go to the underworld and open the Book of Life and Death."
"Huh?" Tang Yuanyuan thought there was something wrong with his ears. He looked into the other person's eyes with disbelief and asked, "Go to the underworld to open the Book of Life and Death?"
Going to the underworld is equivalent to crossing the boundary between life and death, that is, entering the underworld... Is that a place that humans can return to after going there?
"You don't have to worry about other problems. As long as you complete the task I gave you, I will take you back to the human world from there." No. 4 said to dispel her worries, "After all, you are not going to go from Huangquan Road until your life is over." Underworld, so I have a way to circumvent some rules and bring you to this side."
She was quite prepared... When Tang Yuanyuan heard the other party's answer, the boulder that had been hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground. At least she was sure that she would no longer be in fear of her life at this moment, because what the other party said did not sound like a lie. With No. 4's temperament, if he really wanted to harm himself, he wouldn't have to beat around the bush like this.
As for whether she can return to the underworld as smoothly as he said...that is not what she has to consider now. After all, it sounds from his words that there should be a precedent for people returning from the underworld. Since there is a precedent, then There will be a way.
Once the things she had been worrying about disappeared, Tang Yuanyuan's curiosity quickly surged up. She recalled No. 4's request. Although she didn't think the other party would definitely answer her, she still couldn't help but ask:
"Why do you need me to open the book of life and death?"
To her surprise, the other party looked at her and then answered:
"The book of human life and death in the underworld can only be opened by spirits and living people with special powers. The book of life and death in the underworld records the names of all living people in this area. I need to find a clue about a human from that book of life and death."
"If I take action myself, I can only tear up the book of life and death, which will not achieve the purpose I want. That's why I need you to do this."
He paused briefly here and then continued: "Before completing this task, I will ensure your life is safe, and this matter can offset the price of your wish to me... After that, we will be clear."
Tang Yuanyuan nodded after listening to his words, and suddenly felt that he and No. 4 had become a cooperative relationship. He couldn't help but feel a little comfortable, but he was a little curious about why No. 4 wanted to find a human.
However, she was curious about this kind of thing. Although she had many rich associations in her mind for a while, she did not ask the other party the reason for this matter. After all, this was actually a private gossip that she did not need to know... .Well, and knowing too much might not be good for her either.
After all, she still remembers that when they first met, a certain evil ghost who unfortunately died mentioned some past things about him before his death... Haha.
Thinking of this, a chill ran down her spine. What if she accidentally learned something terrible on the way, would she be silenced by No. 4?
But she didn't dare to think about it, she just frowned and quickly got rid of the idea, and then changed the topic:
"But is it okay to do this casually? Look through the book of life and death... I believe that if you find the person you are looking for, you will never do nothing, right?"
She raised her eyes and looked at his face, "Well...if you plan to cross out the name and revive the dead, you might be punished by God..."
"That's not your concern."
No. 4 said this in a low voice, and Tang Yuanyuan quickly looked away with an expression that said, "I'm talking too much."
"I never care about divine punishment..." He sneered, "As long as I can find her, it doesn't matter what I do."
Wow! Why can I rebel against the deep sadomasochism of the whole world just for you? I can’t see that you are still an infatuated person!
When Tang Yuanyuan heard his words, a series of words came to mind again, and the gossip and curiosity in her heart suddenly doubled several times, but she still did not dare to ask him about his relationship with the human being in his mouth, and just pressed I couldn't help but asked in a low voice:
"Well... I would like to ask, is the person you are looking for male or female?"
A strange look flashed across No. 4's face when he heard this, as if he was questioning why Tang Yuanyuan would ask such a question, but he still answered aloud:
"female."
Tang Yuanyuan immediately showed an "I understand" expression and nodded repeatedly, her expression revealing a bit of happiness and satisfaction, as if such a simple word had given her important information.
This is indeed the case. The words of No. 4 must have completely completed the affectionate sadomasochism drama that appeared in her mind. At the end, she also said: Good show, it’s over!
After the worry about her life was relieved and her heart for gossip was fulfilled, Tang Yuanyuan finally heard the ringing of the get out of class bell echoing in her ears. She was brought back to reality and began to think about her future plans.
She glanced sideways at the campus under the rooftop, looking at the playground and teaching building that were once again lively after class, thinking about the time in her mind, and then said:
"Well... I completely understand the current situation... I will complete the task you gave me, but our destination is the underworld, right? This is not an ordinary far journey... Anyway, I will go back to class first, and then go home Make some preparations for the trip, we will leave in a few days when everything is ready..."
As she said that, she wanted to get away from him.
But before she started to slip away, No. 4 suddenly grabbed her hand and said:
"No need to bother."
"We're leaving now."
"Huh?" Tang Yuanyuan once again felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, "No, wait a minute, there's no need to be in such a hurry, right!? Do you really don't need to prepare any more?"
She struggled several times to get rid of the other party's hand but to no avail, and put on a pitiful expression. The other party looked at her unmoved and just said softly:
"Anyway, the protection spell I gave you was used because of your recklessness. In order to avoid being around you all day long and acting as your bodyguard, we might as well clear things up as soon as possible. I don't want to be a bodyguard for a human."
"And even if you go back to prepare, what can you prepare? Those things of yours can't be dealt with by the scattered ghosts and scattered souls in the human world. Do you still expect to be able to play a role in the underworld? I said that I will be responsible for your safety during the transaction."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the spiritual fire behind him jumped in front of him. Something like a talisman flashed past in it, and then it was burned completely, followed closely by the thing in front of him. The space twisted in vain, and began to collapse into a huge black hole with the spiritual fire as the center.
"Even if the effect is not great, maybe it can still be used as a living doctor..." Tang Yuanyuan murmured with a chill in his heart as he watched the entrance slowly open.
Although the other party said that he would ensure her safety, she also knew that he was not a compassionate person. If she had no ability to protect herself, her life might be in danger if she was not careful...
No. 4 seemed to have heard her resentful murmur, glanced at her and chuckled:
"The spiritual power in your body is actually very strong. Instead of using your previous runes that only stored a little spiritual power, you might as well try to learn to use your own spiritual power. The effect will definitely be thousands of times better than those things. ."
Very well said, do you think I would still rely on runes if I knew how to use them?
Tang Yuanyuan curled his lips and glanced at him resentfully after hearing this, but did not say this complaint. Instead, he looked at the black hole again. For some reason, he felt that the breath coming from the hole was a little familiar. .
But before she could think about anything, No. 4 interrupted her thoughts again.
"By the way... I have one more question that I didn't have time to ask you before."
Tang Yuanyuan was a little confused when he heard this. What could he say to answer him?
"what is the problem?"
He looked at her puzzled eyes and thought for a moment, then asked: "What's your name?"
When Tang Yuanyuan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that the relationship is good and you still don't know my name.
Why do I feel like you can learn my name from other people just by sitting in my classroom for a while? Did this guy do it on purpose?
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, No. 4 broke the silence and added:
"In the underworld, the name is the best identity card for human beings. Most of the dead people do not know what happened in their lives, because if they know the cause of their death, the chance of becoming evil ghosts is very high, so they do not have names, and they mostly use code names or The position is worthy of you. If you have a name and you are in the underworld, I can find you no matter how far away you are."
"Is this an application of spiritualism?"
Tang Yuanyuan pursed her lips in a bad mood. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly looked at him and turned back, gently lifting the hand that held hers.
Tang Yuanyuan instinctively looked up and suddenly caught a glimpse of a looming red rope between his wrist and his.
"Of course, that's just in case. As long as nothing happens and you and I are tied together by this red rope, you won't be found alive and won't get lost... So do you want to tell I also can."
It's just a name, there's no need to hide it, and if he wants to call me, I can't just listen to him calling "hey" and "you" all the time, right?
Tang Yuanyuan thought about this and decided to answer his question, thinking that it would always be good to have an extra layer of protection.
"Yuanyuan." She looked into his eyes and said, "My name is Tang Yuanyuan."
