In the hall of the two Qing residences, Bai Haoran sat opposite Sister Meng with white sugar.

Sister Meng took a leisurely sip of tea, and then she elegantly put down the teacup and said, "So you two came to me for verification?" I seem to have told you that you have handled this list at your sole discretion. ”

Bai Haoran hurriedly denied: "Sister Meng, I don't mean anything else, I came here to find out some common sense that I don't know, for example, what can I see the black lines on other people's necks?" ”

"Oh? Black lines on the neck? Sister Meng raised her eyebrows slightly, and then she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Can you see what others have?" ”

Bai Haoran nodded: "That's right, on the day Lu Qing died, I saw her neck, around her neck, but it was not closed." And the boy who died suddenly this time was too.,But his lines at that time were basically closed in a circle.。 And every time I see this trace, I see black and white impermanence at the same time, why is that? Does that black pattern have any special meaning? The more Bai Haoran said later, the more anxious he became, he was really curious, and he always felt that the black lines were related to Lu Qing's death.

Sister Meng tucked at the teacup in her hand and said softly: "This kind of trace is not visible to ordinary humans, it is called 'longevity and withering pattern'." Because everything has a time when life ends, the longevity pattern is a sign of the end. It is normal for you to see the longevity pattern and see the little black and the little white at the same time, because the longevity pattern is the sign of their mission, and once the longevity pattern forms a complete circle, then this life will come to an end completely. Hei and Bai had to take their souls away within seven days, otherwise their souls would be gone. And the longevity pattern is a proof of the disappearance of life, if you can see the longevity pattern, I believe you will soon be able to see it, its existence is more terrifying, cold, and cold than the longevity pattern. Its existence is also invisible to the world, but everyone knows it, because its name is called: death. Longevity and death are a type of existence, but there are some different differences between the two, the longevity pattern is the natural exhaustion of life, while death is not necessarily. ”

"So, Lu Qing's death is a natural death? Didn't he kill? Bai Haoran frowned and asked, he didn't believe that Lu Qing died of natural causes.

The corners of Sister Meng's mouth were slightly raised: "Don't take my words here, it's useless, I can sue you, I will naturally sue you, and if you can't say it, you won't say it." You can investigate Lu Qing's matter yourself. As for the longevity mark, it does not necessarily have to be a natural death, poison and injury will induce the failure of vitality, it is only a symptom of vitality failure, and has nothing to do with whether it is a natural death. Okay, do you have any other questions? ”

Bai Haoran paused: "Uh...... I feel like I don't have answers to the rest of my questions, even if I ask them...... However, I still have to ask one more question, and that is whether I am still human. ”

Sister Meng smiled: "The answer to this question does not lie with me, but with you." I say you are, are you? And not necessarily all of the people living in the human world are humans, there are other races, but they are all hidden. Of course, I'm sure you'll find out later. This task is a bit difficult for you, but I believe in your strength. I know that being humble is a good thing, but if you endure some things, you will eventually hurt others, such as Lu Qing's matter. From what I know, her death may not be inevitable, and you may have the ability to save her, but you are used to hiding yourself. After all, she ignored one thing, Lu Qing was just an ordinary person. ”

Hearing Sister Meng say this, Bai Haoran's heart was also uncomfortable for a while, he took a deep breath and said, "So I want to make up for my mistakes, so I will find out about this matter." ”

Sister Meng smiled: "I'm sure you'll find out, after all, this is just your first task." Of course, for the sake of how difficult this matter is for you, I can give you a little hint not to trust your eyes too much, because there are many causes and effects behind the so-called truth that you have not seen. Hope this sentence can help you! ”

Leaving the Liangqing Residence, Bai Haoran returned home directly, he sat at the desk in the room and meditated on what Sister Meng said today. In the evening, Bai Tang walked into the room sleepily and asked, "Brother, what are we going to eat at night?" ”

Bai Haoran glanced at the chubby white sugar, and felt much better for some reason. He smiled and said, "Stinky boy, do you know how to eat every day?" ”

Bai Tang pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "I'm still young, now I'm the age to eat, sleep, sleep, and eat!" Where is it like you adults, intriguing all day long. ”

"How did I become intrigued?" Bai Haoran asked rhetorically.

Bai Tang muttered and said, "Obviously, what Sister Meng wants to say is that only you can do this matter, but you have to beat around the bush, it sounds really uncomfortable." ”

"Huh? Can you still understand what she means? Come, tell me about it, and if you say it well, I'll make you braised pork in the evening. Bai Haoran smiled with a smile in his heart to coax the child.

As a result, as soon as Xiao Baitang heard the braised pork, his eyes immediately became digital. He nodded vigorously and kept chirping, "You have to talk and count!" Na, what Sister Meng said today is so simple, don't you understand? Isn't she just hinting to you, you are a student at school, and this matter is the easiest for you to investigate, because you and those who died are classmates, don't you have clues by asking more classmates, even if it is a rumor? I remember there is a saying on the Internet called 'no wind and no waves', even if it is fake, but there is something to do, not sighing. Our dragon clan is a race that does things when we have something, and we don't cry and mourn every day. ”

Bai Haoran was also stunned when Xiao Baitang said this, he was entangled all afternoon and didn't even have a freshly weaned doll to see it thoroughly?! To be honest, he was a little skeptical about life. But with the mood of pretending to be forced, Bai Haoran still touched Bai Tang's head and said hypocritically: "The world of adults is very complicated, you don't understand." ”

Bai Tang looked at Bai Haoran with a blank face and asked, "Brother, am I not right?" ”

"No, some of what you said is right. Okay, it's not early, let's go cook. After I've eaten, I have to go out tonight, you honestly look after the house, do you hear? Bai Haoran pinched the little nose of the white sugar.

Bai Tang asked disapprehantly, "Brother, are you going to see who that undead in the school library is?" ”

"The undead in the library?" Bai Haoran looked at Bai Sugar in surprise.

Xiao Baitang wrinkled his little nose, endured the feeling that his nose was sour and wanted to cry, and said, "Well, when my brother was taken away by that policeman's sister, Xiao Hei saw it, and he stood behind his sister and you, looking at you all the time." Xiao Hei said that he was not a bad person, so he didn't go to him. "Of course, the little black that white sugar says is black impermanence.

Bai Haoran hurriedly asked, "Is that undead a man or a woman?" ”

"The man is said to look very kind." Speaking of this, Bai Haoran was stupid, he remembered that he only saw Lu Qing at that time, why did Bai Tang see the other one, could it be that there was more than one scene......

With a stomach full of suspicions, Bai Haoran packed up and went to school after cooking dinner. Xiao Baitang had to follow after eating, but Bai Haoran couldn't resist him, so he could only take him to school with him.

At night, there was no one near the school library, because a person had died during the day, and everyone was hiding here. Rumors of dead books have spread even more in schools, and there are no teachers in the library right now. Of course, this also gave Bai Haoran an opportunity, Bai Haoran handed the little white sugar through the mouth of the air window, and then asked the white sugar to open the window from the inside, and he also opened the window and entered it......

The inside of the library was very dark and a little cold, Bai Haoran felt a burst of coldness after walking a few steps, Xiao Baitang pointed to the corner direction and said, "Brother, you see it's a little goblin!" ”

Bai Haoran looked in the direction of Bai Tang's finger and saw something flickering in the corner of the library. After taking a few steps closer, I noticed that there were many small glowing orbs like small balls. These things are called goblins, which are the essence of all things in heaven and earth, and are the aggregate of the essence of living beings. Although the goblins are fairies, they are harmless to any living beings, on the contrary, the goblins have always been the guardians of nature, they silently maintain the operation of nature, and they are the disseminators of vitality. If they are not there, nearby creatures will also lose their lives quickly.

After Bai Haoran approached, the elves gathered one by one. Xiao Baitang squatted down and poked the meat ball on the ground with his little hand, and the little goblin made a sound of "Sudden Rice, Sudden Rice", and his body sometimes emitted yellow brilliance, sometimes turning green. In short, the colors are constantly changing.

The little goblin's small eyes looked at Bai Sugar, and Bai Tang asked, "Little goblin, do you know where that undead here is?" ”

"Suddenly rice, rice, rice, rice, rice!" The little goblin kept nodding his head, and he kept "suddenly", as if he was saying something.

The most terrible thing is that Xiao Baitang actually understood, and he kept nodding his head. After saying enough, Xiao Baitang turned around and said: "Brother, the little goblin said that there is indeed an undead here, but he is a good person and has never harmed anyone, he seems to be just waiting for someone here." ”

Bai Haoran asked, "Then can we meet the undead?" ”

Little White Sugar turned his head and gestured to the little goblin, and then the little goblin said "Suddenly rice, Sudden Rice". After a while, Xiao Baitang said something again, and then Xiao Tuanzi nodded and walked into the corner.

After a while, the little group jumped out of the corner, and then there were many more goblins from the bookshelf, and these goblins looked at Bai Haoran and Bai Sugar. Then it screamed again, and Bai Tang picked up the little goblin and said to Bai Haoran: "The little goblin said that the undead said that we don't need to look for him, and the things we want to check are in the third book grid on the right side of the No. 4 bookshelf in the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it will take us to get it." ”

Bai Haoran was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "Oh, thank you." ”

"Boom, Boom, Boom!" Of course, you don't need a translator here to know that the goblin said no thanks.

Bai Tang hugged the little goblin, and the little goblin on the bookshelf also jumped back and forth or simply followed behind Bai Haoran, and the light emitted by them gave Bai Haoran a guiding path. Bai Haoran walked to the bookshelf along the route of the little goblins, and he found that there was indeed a black book in the lattice, and Bai Haoran stepped forward to take the book down. There was a lot of dust on this book, and he shook off the dust, and through the glow of the little goblin, he saw two big gilded characters on it: "History of Sui." ”

Bai Haoran opened the page of the book and found that this should be a lesson taught a few days ago, and the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties is usually taught together. There are many bookmarks in the pages, these bookmarks are placed by the person who borrowed the book, and within these bookmarks, Bai Haoran quickly saw a line of Juanxiu's handwriting, and this handwriting Bai Haoran is very familiar with, because this is written by Lu Qing.

Bai Haoran took out the bookmark, and he found that there was a line of powerful handwriting on the back of the bookmark, which read: "Let's come to the gym to play together at night!" I would like to introduce our relationship to them. ”

Bai Haoran's heart was blocked for a while, and he looked a little sour and a little uncomfortable. You don't have to think about this bookmark to guess that this should be written by a boy to Lu Qing. The goddess in her heart did not choose herself, but someone else. But no matter how uncomfortable it was, Bai Haoran still buried this bitterness in his heart. He carefully put away the bookmark, then turned around and walked to the window to jump out of the window of the side door, but Bai Tang suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said: "Brother, the little goblin said that it is dangerous here, the wall skin upstairs is aging, and now it is under construction, and something may fall at any time, it wants us to go to the main entrance." ”

"Okay, thank you." Bai Haoran replied in a trance.

And the little goblin nodded and said, "Humi, Humi!" ”

Bai Tang cautiously asked, "Brother, are you uncomfortable?" ”

After Bai Haoran heard this, he stopped suddenly, and Bai Tang looked at him pitifully.

Bai Haoran squatted down and touched Bai Tang's head and said with a smile: "Na, little fat man, you still don't want to experience such a feeling now, it's really uncomfortable, but as a man, at this time, we have to pretend, flow tears into our stomachs, and swallow this bitterness into our stomachs!" Do you understand? ”

Bai Tang shook his head slightly, Bai Haoran smiled and pinched Bai Tang's little face and said, "I hope you don't know it for the rest of your life!" Let's go to find your police sister, this clue must be very important, and Lu Qing's death will definitely be revealed. ”

"Brother, doesn't she like you for that dead sister, is it worth it for you to do this for him?" Bai Sugar asked puzzled.

Bai Haoran smiled bitterly, he rubbed his nose, and then said in a deep voice: "But ...... My brother really likes her, sometimes I don't have to be together to like someone, as long as she feels happy, I don't care. It's a pity that I didn't protect her properly...... So your brother and I have to take responsibility, and it is a man's duty to be responsible. Got it? ”

Xiao Baitang nodded vigorously, then patted Bai Haoran on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother, in fact, I think that sister still likes you." That's what a man's instinct says to me. ”

Bai Haoran patted Bai Tang's little head with a smile and said, "Stinky boy, Mao'er hasn't grown up yet, and he's still a man!" ”
