"Yuanyuan...Yuanyuan...Sure enough..." After hearing her answer, he looked into her eyes and muttered twice, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
Tang Yuanyuan saw that his reaction was wrong and almost thought he had some illness.
Who would read someone else's name twice for no apparent reason? Is her name weird?
She muttered something inexplicably: "Is it so hard to remember my name... I have to read it twice... I always thought that my name is very easy to pronounce and should be the type that you will never forget after hearing it once... "
She didn't know if No. 4 heard her muttering like this. She just watched him recover after a brief silence and shook his head. Without saying anything more, he stepped directly towards the black hole he opened.
Tang Yuanyuan watched him disappear into the black hole without looking back. He turned around and glanced at the empty rooftop with some reluctance. Then he shook his head like a sigh, gritted his teeth and stepped forward to follow the former's footsteps. He also walked into the black hole.

The underworld of the underworld is the area where ghosts gather in the center of the spiritual realm.
Luo Ranqi and his partner Hei Wuchang 116 were sitting in the rest area of the Soul Capture Center under the Palace of Yama in the center of the underworld, waiting for instructions on the soul collection mission they were about to take over.
116 sat on the bench in the lounge with his eyes closed, while Luo Ranqi stood on the edge of the lounge area, leaning against the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the underworld city outside the building.
The underworld of the underworld is a realm where natural light can never be seen. The place that can be called the "sky" here can never see colors other than pitch black, so the ghosts are shrouded in darkness. The gathering place has always been in the "eternal night" where the sun cannot be seen. Because of this, the city scene in the underworld has always been very similar to the night on earth.
For Bai Wuchang like Luo Ranqi, who has seen both the human world and the underworld, she often feels that the underworld is actually a reflection of the human world.
What can illuminate the cityscape of the underworld are always those lamps made of special materials. Over the years, the appearance of the underworld has actually been changing with the history and development of mankind. Whether it is the appearance of the city or the atmosphere of the city, the underworld and the human world are actually All are similar.
Luo Ranqi used to often wonder why the appearance of the underworld was so similar to that of the human world despite the distance between life and death on the other side. She imagined many different answers, and finally felt that the most correct answer was because of these two Similar souls gather in every place.
But no matter how similar the underworld and the human world are, they are ultimately different.
Because the area of the underworld is far less vast than the human world, and the number of souls gathered here to live and stay is far less than that of the human world. After all, for many ordinary souls, a place like the underworld is just a transit point for reincarnation and return to the human world. stand.
Therefore, the scene in the underworld will never be as prosperous and vivid as the human world.
Luo Ranqi was slightly dazed when she thought of this, and suddenly remembered an existence that she cared about in the past.
He would always look at the scene in the underworld with a slightly tired and bored expression, as if he didn't like this place very much no matter how many years passed. Because of this, she often asked him questions like "Why are you so tired of the underworld?" But only a few times did she get an answer.
However, the few answers he spoke were almost all words that Luo Ranqi could never forget and always think about.
He once said that a place like the underworld is too rigid and boring, and that all peace and prosperity based on the so-called false order and cage are just bubbles that will burst sooner or later. He said that the reason why he doesn't like the underworld is actually because it is "heaven". "Projection.
But for Luo Ranqi, no matter how many years have passed, she has never truly understood the words in his mouth, because he never told her about his past. Since she does not know his past, many of the words in his mouth In fact, there is no way to understand it.
But this is helpless. After all, in the eyes of that being, he has never been a special being. They feel that the other person is special only to themselves.
So she has been trying hard to catch up with him, but unfortunately she has never been able to see him again since he disappeared last time.
As time passed, she gradually gave up her fruitless pursuit, but there were still some habits that appeared because of him... such as meditating like this while looking at the underworld from a high place.
It's just that no matter how many times I see the scene in the underworld, it is indeed as lifeless as the residents here.
Thinking of this, Luo Ranqi couldn't help but sigh softly, put back her thoughts about the underworld, and returned to her work.
In fact, it hasn't been too long since she became the official Black and White Impermanence, and she hasn't fully adapted to this kind of life of always shuttling back and forth between different worlds, so it is still normal to think about and lament some things from time to time.
The mission she was waiting for right now happened to be her tenth mission to the human world to capture souls.
Every time she goes to the human world is actually an opportunity for her, because for a soul like her from the underworld, she cannot go to the world of the living and stay for a long time without special circumstances.
But the object of her longing was in the world of the living.
Even though he actually refused his request to have more contact with her when he left, she is still trying her best to find him to this day.
Luo Ranqi actually didn't do it for anything, she just wanted to see him again.
The passage of time between the human world and the underworld is not the same. Luo Ranqi doesn't know how long it has passed since the day she saw him for the last time, but she knows that for herself, the last time she saw him is in her cognition. Three years of the underworld calendar have passed.
But in fact, this time fell on her perception, but it actually seemed to be longer.
It was so long that some of the past she had experienced with the other person, or the other person's voice and appearance seemed to be almost blurred.
Luo Ranqi is not forgetful. She actually knows where her abnormal forgetfulness comes from.
He had told her his secrets on the day he left. He was a lonely person who seemed unable to establish a stable relationship with any soul. He was also a homeless person whose existence itself did not belong to any place.
So one day she will completely forget him.
When he said such words, he was calm and calm, as if he didn't care about it at all, and there was no emotion, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.
But Luo Ranqi was afraid of this kind of forgetfulness.
She didn't want to forget him, but she was not a special being. She couldn't change the other person's destiny, nor could she connect with a fate that didn't exist in the first place. So the only thing she could do was to remember that she was looking for him.
Because even without the constraints of the underworld, as long as she could see him a few more times, she might not forget him so easily.
Unfortunately, even searching for traces of the other party is just an unfulfilled wish for her. After all, her ability is completely unable to capture his breath in the human world, so she always returns disappointed.
Similarly, she didn't have high hopes for this trip. Instead, she felt that it was more feasible to hope that he could return to the underworld than to find him herself.
Luo Ranqi sighed helplessly as she was thinking about this, and began to wander her thoughts aimlessly again.
The task of collecting souls has not been assigned yet, but there was another unprovoked uproar in the leadership area.
Those rustling voices got louder and louder, until Luo Ranqi was interrupted by the noise mixed with various emotions, and she suddenly turned back to look in the direction where the voices came from.
"What's going on over there..."
Luo Ranqi frowned and was about to talk to himself when he suddenly saw some shadow walking quickly from the noisy direction over there.
The visitor was Bai Wuchang Fushun, who worked in the same position as her. They had dealt with each other several times, and she knew that he was a warm-hearted person with a gentle temperament.
So she stretched out her hand to block it out of curiosity, and asked: "Fu San, do you know what happened over there?"
Fu San looked up at her and seemed to be in a hurry, but he still briefly answered Luo Ranqi's question.
"I heard that the superiors received a report that a strange spiritual wave aura entered the underworld through an unconventional entrance."
"I heard from them that the brief spiritual energy seemed to have awakened a certain sealed object that was sealed in the bottom tower of the Central Ghost Emperor's Mansion, causing a certain abnormality in the seal... The higher-ups issued an order saying that it would start now. Pay more attention to strengthening the supervision of various positions."
"Everyone is discussing what kind of existence can shake the sealed object in the bottom tower of the underworld... That is a dangerous object that has not had any change for hundreds of years... They speculated that maybe some important person has returned Hell is coming.”
"Well, I seem to have only heard this bit. Xiao Qi, if you are very curious, you can ask the ghost kings in charge of foreign affairs. My partner and I have received a new mission. We need to go to the human world. It is urgent. , let’s leave first.”
Fu Shen said this and smiled helplessly at Luo Ranqi, then turned to another exit and left quickly.
"Big shot?"
While he stayed there and waited for the words Luo Ran Qizhan, something familiar flashed through his mind.
It is indeed rare for the sealed objects in the underworld to change due to outsiders... Could it be that those so-called important dangerous objects sealed in the underworld actually belonged to some specific existence in the past?
But what kind of big shot would leave the underworld for hundreds of years before returning? Why would the upper echelons of the underworld be vigilant about this kind of thing? Did the so-called big man come to the underworld this time to find something he had lost?
These questions popped up in Luo Ranqi's mind involuntarily, but she quickly shook her head and warned herself that this was not something she should care about anymore.
She couldn't guess the answers to these questions, so she could only frown and look back again, looking out the window at the dim and bright city in trance.
