The teleportation of the underworld magic circle made Tang Yuanyuan feel like she was spinning all day long and she fainted on the spot. However, after an unknown amount of time, when she opened her eyes again, the noise in her ears was no longer the noisy sounds of the ghosts in the underworld, but her extremely kind voice. The bell rings.
When she opened her eyes and saw the familiar scene on the rooftop of the campus, she finally confirmed that she had finally returned to the human world from the underworld, and she couldn't help but say thank you in her heart.
Then she instinctively propped up half of her body with one hand, rubbed her still dizzy head with the other hand, and recalled some fragments of memories before she woke up, and then suddenly began to wonder why she clearly felt like she had fallen from the air, but there was nothing on her body. I felt a bit painful and injured, until I heard a familiar voice from underneath me...
"How long are you going to sit on me, Tang Yuanyuan..."
She came back to her senses, suddenly lowered her head and looked down, and saw No. 4, who was pressed beneath her like a human cushion.
The air was silent for a few seconds. Tang Yuanyuan looked at his face with the word "speechless" written all over it and didn't react.
I said why the ground on the rooftop seems to be extra soft today...
She had just complained in her mind, and suddenly she realized that her position with him seemed too strange, so she suddenly rolled off him, coughed twice awkwardly, and then patted her clothes and stood up. got up.
"It seems that I successfully brought you back..." She looked at No. 4's face and breathed a sigh of relief at first, then unconsciously glanced down from his body lying on the ground, originally wanting to look at him. Is there any injury on his body, but in the end I only caught a glimpse of his somewhat messy clothes and a small exposed waist...
She took a breath reflexively, retracted her gaze pretending to be serious, and changed the subject when she looked at the other person's strangely red eyes again:
"It's strange...you didn't become transparent and let me fall by myself..."
"In your eyes, am I this kind of person? Or do you really want to fall down?" No. 4 asked back, then chuckled and said, "What a pity. I should have fulfilled your wish earlier, but Ling Under the contract, you can touch my true body no matter what and can't hide it, otherwise I would actually let you try."
"That's not necessary... I just feel strange..." Tang Yuanyuan shook his head, "Well, anyway, thank you for protecting me when I was down."
The human body was definitely not as strong as his, so because he was willing to protect her in his arms when she was unconscious, Tang Yuanyuan felt that it was worth saving him.
Number 4 pretended to sigh and sat up, but secretly glanced at Tang Yuanyuan from top to bottom, feeling relieved after confirming that she was unharmed.
Originally, they almost fell from mid-air. If Tang Yuanyuan's human body fell down, he would probably be shattered to pieces. Therefore, he kept her in his arms and withstood the entire impact with his body and spiritual power. Now that Tang Yuanyuan is safe and sound, it seems that his efforts were not in vain.
"Speaking of which, what about Tsumugi? Didn't he come back with us?"
Seeing that No. 4 was fine, Tang Yuanyuan turned around and looked around again, looking for the shadow of another fox.
"I'm here."
The white-furred fox suddenly jumped out from the corner of the rooftop, trotted all the way to Tang Yuanyuan's feet, walked back and forth and rubbed her ankles, and then said:
"I went to look around and check if there were any other demons or humans approaching. After all, Yuan Yuan, you were still in a coma just now, so I didn't wake you up."
"I see... It seems that none of you were affected by the teleportation circle... Anyway, just hope everyone is fine." Tang Yuanyuan thought that Zhen's patrol was valuable. After all, although this is a sparsely populated rooftop, It would be embarrassing if a few students who were skipping class came running up to her and saw her unconscious alone on the rooftop.
Tang Yuanyuan felt a little numb when she thought of such a scene, so she shook her head to get rid of the embarrassing scene in her mind, and then suddenly seemed to remember something again, and looked at No. 4 and Zhen Wen road:
"But we just left the underworld... does it really not matter?"
"According to what Yama said, we seemed to have entered illegally and escaped illegally, right? Although we did escape in the end...but will we be hunted by the underworld in the human world?"
Hearing her question, No. 4 and Tsui looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.
"I don't think the underworld will come to the human world to track us down because of those things." No. 4 said, "The ghosts in the underworld cannot freely enter and exit the underworld. Only a few special cases and black and white can go there. This is their rule and a curse. ."
"And in fact, for those guys in the underworld, although they keep talking about rules and punishments, in fact, only strength is the most absolute rule in front of them."
"By breaking the corpse ghost hexagram, you have broken the laws that originally belonged to them, so the culpability in their mouths will also become rules that need to be rewritten... And with such ability, they should not dare to send Black and White Wuchang to come easily. You’re in trouble.”
"Indeed, I know the rules of those guys in the underworld very well..." Tsumugi continued, "But they are indeed eyeing your specialness, so if you want to go to the underworld in the future, you need to be careful... But the human world is not their territory, and with us here, even the ghosts and monsters sent by the underworld can’t touch you at all.”
"That's right..." Tang Yuanyuan felt a little relieved after hearing the answers from one man and one fox, and finally felt that he had escaped the wanted state.
As for what Tsui said later about "going to the underworld again", she didn't worry too much. After all, why would she go to the underworld again if she was fine?
"I feel relieved when you say that... But although I won't be targeted... What about you, No. 4? Don't you still have a special connection with the underworld?"
No. 4 glanced at her when he heard her familiar question. This time he finally answered her question properly, shook his head and said:
"My connection with the underworld has been severed because the original atonement and contract have been completed."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to greet the floating blue spiritual fire beside him. The flames danced gently between his palms, but nothing emerged from them.
"I am no longer the one who made the wish, so the mark of the underworld has been completely broken and eliminated because of our contract...so you don't have to worry."
Tang Yuanyuan nodded when he heard this, finally feeling completely relieved this time.
"Thanks to you, Yuan Yuan, we are safe and sound. Now my wish has almost been fulfilled, and I finally left that depressing ghost place."
Tsumugi on the side swung his tail and spoke again, seemingly very happy about the fact that he had left the underworld.
However, after turning in a circle, it squinted its eyes again, fell on No. 4 and sneered:
"Oh, actually it seems that someone should thank you more. It's a pity that as soon as you wake up, some guys will start talking harshly."
During the process of their escape from the underworld and back to the human world, Zhen had been hiding in Tang Yuanyuan's clothes. Tang Yuanyuan didn't know the scene where No. 4 was protecting Tang Yuanyuan just now because he was unconscious, but he could see it. Clearly.
After all, it was the same in the underworld. He asked Tang Yuanyuan to leave, but in the end he still held her hand.
Zhen raised his eyes and looked at him. The latter frowned and was about to retort, "Who is being harsh...", but the next second Zhen deftly went to his shoulder and whispered softly in his ear: "I want to You don’t know what the red line on the tip of your little finger is, right?”
As soon as it spoke, he stopped. Zhen's voice was very low, just so that only the two of them could hear it. He lowered his eyes with a complicated expression and looked at his hands. Except for the faint and hidden golden light array in his palms, he stopped. In addition, he also caught a glimpse of the red edge wrapped around the fingertips of his left hand.
Of course he knew what the red line on the tip of his little finger was.
But how could it be? He obviously will not have a strong and long-lasting relationship with any existence... let alone this kind of... love.
He couldn't help but raise his head again and looked at Tang Yuanyuan who had relaxed and walked to the edge of the rooftop to look at the school and whispered to himself.
"There must be something wrong...between me and her...it can't be love..."
His eyes flickered for a moment as he looked at her back, and then returned to dimness.
On the other side, Tang Yuanyuan, who was standing on the edge of the rooftop fence, was still immersed in the joy of returning to the world. He didn't care what he said to Zhen, but was vaguely aware that he was talking to himself with a complicated expression.
It’s understandable that Tang Yuanyuan’s expression is complicated, right? After all, in a sense, he was forced out of the underworld by himself, and maybe he was still complaining about being nosy... But she couldn't just sit back and watch in that situation, and there was no better way...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at him secretly, thinking about how to talk to him now. Do you want to apologize to him first?
While Tang Yuanyuan was thinking that, he turned around and said, "That...No. 4..."
Unexpectedly, he immediately interrupted her.
"Stop calling me Four."
She was stunned. Was it because she forcibly took him out of the underworld and didn't even let him scream?
"...I don't mean you are not allowed to call me...I have a name."
For a moment, he looked at Tang Yuanyuan's aggrieved look and sighed, and continued: "No. 4 is just a code name at work. I don't tell others my real name because they don't have the need to know it."
He stood up, patted the clothes on his body, and said: "But you and I have signed a spiritual contract. This is an unbreakable bond of death between souls. I will stay with you no matter how long it takes... Even if you are reincarnated... Anyway, I don't want to hear you calling number four all the time."
"So there is a name..." Tang Yuanyuan muttered in a low voice. She did feel that No. 4 didn't sound like a name. She originally thought about whether she could give him one like Zhen.
"Yi Huai." He stretched out his hand to her, and then raised the other hand that slipped on his shoulder, the white-furred fox, "My name is Yi Huai."
Does extending your hand mean you want to get to know each other well?
"Ah." Tang Yuanyuan jumped down from the fence of the rooftop, walked to Yi Huai and carefully put his hand on his hand, "Can you give me some advice? Yi Huai... Yi Sheng Huai Li... This name sounds much better than No. 4."
She smiled at him and sighed from the bottom of her heart, but the next second she was startled by Yi Huai's actions.
She originally thought that he stretched out his left hand just to shake her hand in a symbolic way, but she didn't expect that when she put her right hand up, she didn't shake it symbolically, but held it tightly.
Yi Huai's palm was much bigger than hers, and he could completely wrap her palm with just a little squeeze of her hand. He lowered his eyes and looked down at the hands they held together, and gently rubbed her fingers with his fingertips. The girl's hands were small, white and delicate, as if she could be twisted with just a little force. In the past, he rarely touched such soft and weak things.
When the two people's hands are intertwined, the red line on the tip of the little finger will be clearly visible in the spiritual vision. It is indeed a thin but extremely tough edge line. I don't know when this red line was entangled, but it seems to have never been. It has been here since the beginning.
Obviously I didn't see this connecting red thread when I saw her for the first time... At that time, I just felt that she seemed very familiar to me... Was it love...
He sighed softly in his heart, looking down at the girl's hand in trance.
Seeing that Yi Huai had no intention of letting go, Tang Yuanyuan felt mixed emotions in his heart. He clasped his hand and turned it over to see which blood vessel was easier to attack? Or am I thinking about how to twist my hand quickly and break it off?
She was frightened and slightly embarrassed when Yi Huai held her hand. She wondered countless times in her heart whether this was too open. They had not known each other for a long time, and she wanted to withdraw her hand but didn't dare to move.
But to her surprise, Yi Huai's physical palm was actually warm, with the same skin touch and temperature as a human. Is this really the body a ghost should have?
The two of them held their hands thoughtfully for a long time, until Yi Huai finally let go of Tang Yuanyuan's hand. He raised his eyes and looked at her face, met those bright eyes of different colors, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he whispered softly: "Please give me more advice."
It turns out you are listening to me! Tang Yuanyuan was moved. He didn't expect that his casual greeting would be answered. Suddenly, he had a slightly different view of the "person" in front of him. He was not so unreasonable.
