The smell of damp earth in the air after the rain made a qiē look damp, damp the window panes, damp the walls, damp the floors...... So the restaurateur mopped the floor and muttered and complained, complaining about the damp dirtiness, complaining that the kitchen fumes made the floor look dirtier.

The boss is always happy.

The shop, which had no business, finally had customers, so they chopped the huge cutting board in the kitchen. The freshly spicy beef on the plate is sliced into glassy strips by his skillful knife skills, evenly plated in a noodle bowl, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and drizzled with a thick spoonful of broth. Looking at it from a distance, it has made people's index fingers move, and when it was brought to the front, he swallowed his saliva violently, and immediately lowered his head and took a big sip, full of fresh and thorough taste immediately spread on his tongue with the spicy taste, and he really lost the freshness of his eyebrows.

Therefore, even the boss's dirty nails accidentally touched the soup, and he didn't care about it for the time being, so he just grabbed a large piece of meat with his chopsticks, mixed it into the bowl, and then rolled up a large ball of snow-white and soft noodles, and couldn't wait to send it to his mouth.

After going back and forth like this, within a few minutes, a large bowl of noodle soup was stuffed into my stomach.

If it is usual, I am afraid that I will have a round belly early, but today it seems that I am particularly hungry, so it is not easy to be full, so although I eat such a big bowl of noodles, I am still unsatisfied, and I saw that the boss and his wife have already begun to do the finishing work, and they are busy asking for another bowl, and by the way, they are a little greedy and ordered a few small stir-fries.

When the boss re-entered the kitchen, he noticed that the young man had been sitting on the side so far, and he hadn't eaten or ordered.

I pushed the oil-stained menu in front of him in front of him and asked him, "Why don't you eat something?"

"Not hungry. ”

"It's delicious. ”

"Heavy oil and spicy things hurt the stomach. ”

"Oh......"

A dead man who has been dead for an unknown number of years, with a straight face saying that heavy oil and spicy things will hurt his stomach, is really speechless. In that case, how can I just eat ice cream without mind, especially if it's still an ice cream with a body that I don't know if it's a ghost or something......

Thinking of this, it seemed that he could smell the cold fishy smell at that time, so he lowered his head and stirred the residual soup in the noodle bowl with chopsticks.

As a heavy aroma of sauce slowly rose from the bowl, I leaned back in the chair with a sigh of relief, and turned my head sideways to continue to watch the master's exquisite cooking skills in the kitchen, but I caught a glimpse of the young man taking out a copper coin from his pocket and putting it on the table, and then slowly twisting it towards the square mouth in the middle of the copper coin, and I didn't know what I was twisting out of thin air.

I can't help but be a little curious.

I was about to ask him, but I heard him suddenly ask, "Why did you choose to believe me?"

I was stunned.

Before he could speak, he asked, "Is it because you are sure that he is lying?" ”

"It's not. ”

"Isn't it?" he raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's why." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Choosing between someone who scarred me in order to cast a spell and hid in my body and pretended to be dead when I was cornered, and someone who came to my rescue several times anyway, of course I chose the latter. ”

"Yes. He smiled.

"Besides, I don't feel that it is entirely my responsibility that you were released from the Hades Well, so I am disgusted that others use this as a mockery of my weakness. ”

"Aren't you afraid of making the wrong choice because of this?"

"I'm afraid. So can you tell me who you really are, and why you were buried in the well of Hades?"

This question was not answered by him.

Not unexpected.

A man who has been dead for so long but has never disappeared must have too many secrets hidden in his heart, and he will not let anyone touch his secrets.

So I didn't ask any more questions, I didn't look around, and looked at the two busy figures in the kitchen as quietly as before.

Whether they were laughing or concentrating on their work, I felt a sense of warmth in the world rather than in the ghost realm.

Otherwise, I will be reminded of the coldness in myself.

It's been cold.

Even though there was no air conditioning in the shop, and even though the temperature was still above 30 degrees Celsius after a rainstorm, my hands and feet were still cold.

It seems that the chill that the ghost thing left in my body has not completely dissipated.

And what the parasite in my eyes had said to me still had some effect on me.

The parasite said that the reason why I ended up here was actually because of the Underworld.

Because there are never two kinds of things in the well of Hades that have been feared and suppressed for thousands of years.

From beginning to end, there is only one thing that people are afraid of, and that is the son of Hades.

Not only is he a ghost who has been suppressed for thousands of years, but he is also a monster equivalent to a plague, which, once released from Hades' Well, will bring plague-like disasters to a series of people involved.

Think about it, Beitang, if it is as he said, there is indeed another anger in the well of the king of Yama besides him, and if it is really as he says, he is the only one who can suppress that other anger. Why, then, is he helpless about your current situation? Think about it, if he is so incompetent, how can he be able to suppress it in Hades' well?'

What the parasite said at that time cannot but be said to have some truth.

In fact, I've been thinking about this question all the time, since the young man said that he has the power to suppress that anger, why is there nothing he can do about the curse that that anger casts on me, although he said that this is fate, and it cannot be changed against the sky, but the snow he fell for me in the hospital that day was not a kind of rebellion?

But in spite of this, as I watched the skeleton man finish his demagogic words softly as the parasite, he took a step closer to me, and then handed me the ice cream in his hand, and said, "Believe him, take this." Believe me, and give me your hand. ”

At that time, I still firmly chose to hand my hand to him.

It was strange that I didn't even know where I got the strength to reverse the force of the parasite controlling my body and stretched out my hand towards him.

By the time I realized this, I had already taken my hand and swiped my fingers twice in my palm.

At the same time, I felt my right eye burn fiercely.

It was so hot that it seemed to be ready to breathe fire, burning my eyeballs alive.

But the pain lasted only a few seconds, and then vanished.

I didn't feel any burning sensation in my right eye, and there was no pain in the slightest, only a slight discomfort remained in my eye, but for me at that time, it was like going from hell to heaven.

So, the Dead Boy saved me again.

Before I knew it, I was saved by him again and again.

So even if he didn't have any solution to the curse that was constantly deteriorating on me, even if everything he said to me was a lie, as the parasite said.

You can't be too grateful, isn't it?

"Jingle Bell ......"

Just as my mind was wandering, I suddenly heard a crisp sound on the table, which seemed to be the sound of a bell, but when I looked closely, it was two small white particles.

The small particles are supposed to be made of metal, and although they look smaller than mung beans, they are very delicate, not only are the small carvings on them clearly recognizable, but there is also a small clasp that is used to thread and tie the two together.

The thread is also white, piercing through the square mouth of the bronze coin placed on the table by the young man, and the square hole is on both sides, but only one side of it can be seen.

I don't know where to go at the inlet, and there is only air on the other side of the square hole.

I really want to be weird.

But since it was done by the Underworld, no matter how weird it is, you just need to watch quietly.

pondering, just as he sat up straight and continued to concentrate on watching because of this, he saw his fingers suddenly retracted, and then stretched out his other hand towards me and beckoned gently: "Give me the bell." ”

“...... What?" I didn't react for a moment.

"The bell that keeps ringing on you, give it to me. ”

"Ah...... It?"

Then I remembered that I had forgotten all the time, but I didn't understand why it kept ringing on me, and it never made a sound in my trouser pocket......

While thinking about it, I fumbled in my trouser pocket for a while, but strangely, I remembered that I put it in my trouser pocket, so why couldn't I touch it no matter how I touched it......

Thinking of this, I suddenly saw the young man stand up and press my head.

Then the fingers ran down the top of my head little by little, until I reached my neck, and stopped.

Then he pressed it downward.

It was a terrible blow, it was like suddenly stabbing an awl into my neck, and it almost made me scream. Luckily, he was quick and covered my mouth before I screamed, "Don't be nervous. After saying that, my hand twitched back, and my neck instantly stopped hurting.

At the same time, he was seen holding something in his hand.

It was the black bell that Liu Xiang gave me.

It quivered slightly between Immortal's fingers, making a tiny, tinky clang, and after a few moments it ran down his fingertips and into his skin.

Seeing this, I was trying to warn him, but he stopped me silently.

Then he shoved the two small particles in his other hand into the opening of the bell.

At that time, almost half of the bell had entered his body, but the moment the two small particles fell into his mouth, it flew up and left the body of Hades in a hurry.

But as soon as he left, he turned into a black light and was sucked into his mouth by the young man.

Then it disappeared without a trace, leaving only a thread between his teeth, and he bowed his head to me and motioned for me to rip it off.

I don't know why I'm doing this.

But he did as he was told.

As soon as he tore off the thread, the thread disappeared, and he picked up the copper coin on the table and gently threw it at me: "On the night of gods and ghosts, those who see ghosts die, and those who see gods are better than dead." You saw Xiang Liu, it was better to live than to die, but fortunately, there was a parasitism on the body of that demon, so that you could live a little longer, but the interesting thing is that he actually gave you a black bell, heh, I really look up to you. ”

"Xiangliu, what Xiangliu......" Hearing this, I held the copper coin and asked.

He glanced at me and smiled faintly: "Liu Xiang, isn't it Xiang Liu when you read it upside down?"
