"Disappeared……"
Tang Yuanyuan was completely plunged into darkness at this moment, and he felt as if he had suddenly lost something important.
She stared at the direction in which the light point representing the red rope disappeared for a long time, until she suddenly felt as if some hot and moist liquid had accidentally crossed her cheek, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
She was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch her cheek, and then raised her hand in front of her, but she couldn't see anything in the darkness without light.
"...Can't I get out?"
After a brief period of frustration, she laughed at herself and muttered to herself. Then she looked back at the arm holding her foot. The hand that was glowing faintly fluorescent in the darkness had actually become The only thing that has some light in this darkness.
But Tang Yuanyuan didn't like the piercing blue fluorescence. She frowned and swung her legs, but she couldn't get rid of her hands.
"You have to stay too...stay and play games with me..."
Suddenly, a child's clear laughter sounded in her ears. She couldn't help but instinctively raised her eyes to look for the penetrating children's voice in the darkness, but soon she came back to her senses and realized that she couldn't see anything now, so she simply looked up again. His lowered eyes fell back on that arm.
This time, the dry blue arm released her ankle and suddenly started to move. Tang Yuanyuan reflexively wanted to try to throw it out again, but unfortunately all her attempts were in vain, so she just She could watch the hand crawl up her leg and then stop on her belly.
The childlike laughter didn't seem to echo during the movement of the arm, and Tang Yuanyuan didn't seem to feel the presence of anything else beside her, so she looked at the stopped arm and made a guess.
At this point, she was no longer so scared. Instead, she sighed, held her hands, turned around and half sat up. Staring at the withered and terrifying hand, she asked, "Okay, what are you going to play with?"
As soon as she said this, the hand did not respond for a long time, and after a while, it suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and dispersed.
"Wait... why did it disappear? Didn't you want me to play with you? I can't go out anyway, and it's boring to be alone... It's not a bad idea to play a game before you die."
As Tang Yuanyuan spoke, she realized that the ball of green smoke had not completely disappeared, so she waved to it. Unexpectedly, the green smoke actually condensed into shape again on her legs. The difference from the last time was that this time it was a human body. The small fox walked back and forth on her legs with small steps.
"It's very itchy." Tang Yuanyuan chuckled. She felt strangely relaxed now.
"Strange, are you a human? You're not afraid of me?"
An adult male voice that was completely different from the previous child's voice came from the fox. The fox seemed a little surprised. He stood on her legs and turned around a few times before stopping and pressing her legs with his paws.
"After all, death is imminent... There is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, as a ghost, you are quite cute..." Tang Yuanyuan smiled helplessly, "I came here because of a certain guy's request, but now If I don’t get out, I will soon become a ghost... just like you.”
The fox stood on her lap, raised his body, and sneered: "How can a ghost compete with a demon? Besides, you are not dead."
Tang Yuanyuan sighed: "I'm going to die soon. Without the protection of my fate, how can I stay in the underworld as a living person for a long time..."
The fox interrupted her: "Did you make a mistake? This is not the underworld, and the time and rules here are not the same as there."
"Furthermore, you are able to maintain your identity as a living person in a place like the underworld all by yourself. Fate can only play a pulling role and cannot protect your human body at all... And you seem to be different from ordinary people. Humans are different, they have very strong spiritual power, and the smell of blood is also very fragrant..."
"So, your aura seems to be a bit special... Even in this space, you are not affected by that..."
Tang Yuanyuan suddenly paused when he saw what he was saying, and there was some speculation in his heart that this guy might have some evil plans.
"Let's do this, you make a contract with me and take me out."
Sure enough, the fox's voice sounded again the next second. It jumped to the ground beside her, raised its paws to scratch her body, and looked up at her.
Tang Yuanyuan was startled when he heard what it said, and then felt angry and funny.
Tang Yuanyuan's expression changed when she heard about the "contract". If she hadn't been because of something similar to a contract, she would never have come to a place like this.
She had no choice but to give up: "Didn't I just say that I can't get out myself...Why do you think I can come and leave this place whenever I want and I can just take things with me?"
But the fox jumped on top of her head and said:
"Maybe if it were you."
"I have no intention of harming you. The contract I said I wanted to sign is quite beneficial to you... As long as you take me out of this space, you will be my master according to the contract. I can do many things for you and teach you a lot. thing."
"We can live together, and I can still protect you... I just want to leave this space and get out, but I can't do it with my strength alone."
Don't talk like I can do it. Do you know that 0+0 is still equal to 0?
"Funny words..." Tang Yuanyuan sighed, "Even if what you say is true, I don't know the way out. I can't find a way out in this darkness."
"Didn't you do a good job before? Just follow the 'fate' to connect to the outside world."
The fox seemed to be indifferent to Tang Yuanyuan's "not knowing".
"But the fate between us has been broken... Where can I still follow the red line?" Tang Yuanyuan couldn't laugh or cry, "I can't even see myself clearly now, let alone find the way in the dark."
The fox heard this and looked at her face for a while, then suddenly said:
"No, the fate on you hasn't disappeared yet."
"I can feel that you still have a strong 'fate' like a dead knot, and you are still involved in an existence outside this space. As long as you find the red rope, you will have a way to leave. Road sign.”
Tang Yuanyuan was dumbfounded after hearing this. What does it mean to find the red rope by yourself? Does it think she is Yue Lao? Can you see the red rope on a person's body and pull it casually? And in fact, apart from her family, she has almost no one she has a "close" connection with since she was growing up. How could she have such a strong bond?
It can't be with ghosts, right? For example, the guy who entrusted her with this trip...
"Don't make it sound like breathing..."
She couldn't help but want to complain. She reached out and wanted to lift up the fox's ears to stop it from talking nonsense. But before her hand touched the fox's body, she suddenly realized that there was something on her hand. Suddenly there was a pale golden light again.
She was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and found a red thread that appeared at an unknown time and was wrapped around the tip of her little finger.
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the tip of his little finger in a daze.
The fox seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw this situation. He looked at her fingertips thoughtfully, then jumped and spun around, jumping on top of her head again.
"How about it, am I right? Now you have the means to get out. Do you want to sign the contract?"
"don't want."
Tang Yuanyuan recovered from the shock because of what he said. He stood up and reached out to catch the fox above his head. However, the fox was petite and flexible and quickly slid to her side and stopped on her shoulder to look at her. .
"Lord Fox Immortal, please forgive me. I just don't want to sign a contract randomly anymore. It would be a big loss for you to sign a contract with me according to what you said, right? Otherwise, I will take you out directly. How about a reward for showing me a way out?"
Tang Yuanyuan spoke again with a little helplessness. She originally reached out to scratch the solitary bird that was resting on her shoulder and making her neck itchy, but she stopped because of the fox's words.
"I can't get out that way."
It said: "Just like you need to find a connection to leave here, I have lost all connections with the outside world and I am not qualified to leave here, so I also need a connection and medium with the outside world. The only person who can become this object now is you." , and in the contract this is all the price you need to pay."
"This..." Tang Yuanyuan was speechless for a moment by what it said. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the fox in front of him.
In fact, she is not really unwilling to help this fox, because judging from the aura, the fox does not seem to be an extremely vicious evil monster. If she just takes it out of this space, it is not unacceptable to her. After all, She felt that even if there were any unexpected situations, there would be No. 4 or someone from the underworld who could handle it.
But if the contract is causally related to the other party, it will be completely different. If the other party tells a lie just to deceive her trust and do evil things, then the consequences she will bear are immeasurable.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, the fox took the initiative to speak again, but this time he said something that had nothing to do with before.
"Your right eye...isn't the color I see now, right?"
Tang Yuanyuan was startled when she heard the sound and almost frowned immediately because she was wearing contact lenses. The two blue contact lenses had no color difference and ordinary people couldn't tell. In order to avoid her too conspicuous differences in color, Tang Yuanyuan was stunned. She often gets people talking about her colorful eyes, so not many people around her know that her eyes are different colors.
"...Does this sudden question have anything to do with you?"
She didn't like to hear someone suddenly mention her heterochromatic eyes, because she had experienced a lot of unpleasant things in the past because of these special heterochromatic eyes. When she was young, she laughed at her because of these eyes. There are many freaks out there, and she was even bullied to a certain extent because of being so unsocial.
Even at home, her unique eyes once confused her parents. If it weren't for the fact that if something unexpected happened during the operation, it might affect her life, she might have been sent away by her parents very early. She wanted to go for eye surgery, and she has been missing for many years. Her grandmother also wanted to take her back to the Taoist family to do some magic circle when she was born because of her special eyes.
Tang Yuanyuan's grandma Ran Lin is the eldest daughter of a Taoist family. It is said that she was once a rare genius in the Taoist family. She knows many things and knows many profound spells. However, in the past, the whole family believed in her strange spells the most. , which is probably Mr. Tang and Tang Yuanyuan.
And her grandmother, who knew a lot of things, once said when she was a child that her heterochromatic pupils were not a physical disease, but the manifestation of a special 'mark'. Such a mark showed her At that time, her grandmother predicted that her future would not be ordinary.
However, when she was a child, Tang Yuanyuan didn't understand her grandmother's words. She just knew that she was different from ordinary children from the time she could remember.
In those years when she was too young to wear contact lenses, the children around her would always point at her eyes, laugh and call her a monster. Whenever she saw some weird ghosts other than humans, she would avoid or avoid them. When talking to her, people would always mock her as a mentally ill fool.
This pair of special eyes that were completely different from ordinary people had brought too much malice to her life and put her in many dangers. When she was young, whenever evil spirits with malicious intentions approached her, only her grandmother He would stand in front of her and drive her away, then rub her head and tell her everything was fine.
And days like this lasted until she was six years old, when she had a weird high fever. During that time, her red right eye kept blurryly seeing various strange things and scenes, and she was affected by it. The ghosts attracted by the smell of his body also gathered in large numbers like crazy for the first time.
That time her grandma spent a lot of effort to eliminate those ghosts and monsters, and when the high fever ended, her grandma tried her best to cast a special sealing formation on her. Since then, her grandma has left a large number of demons behind. He piled up pages of paper and said "I have to go" and then disappeared from the world for nine years.
So for Tang Yuanyuan, her pair of heterochromatic pupils, that special and weird right eye, and even these abilities that are different from ordinary people are not actually things that bring her happiness. She herself does not I would like to mention it specifically, but I don't like the criticism from other beings that much.
