Chapter VII deals with contracts

1

After tidying up the kitchen, I walked towards the bedroom, still a little apprehensive.

"Don't bother, what are you doing standing outside the door." His voice came from the bedroom, and I pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was pitch black, pure black, without the night that came through the windows, nor the darkness when the lights were turned off, but the darkness when you couldn't see your fingers. I couldn't tell where the bed was, where the dresser was, where the wardrobe was, and the bedroom had been set up by him as a pure black realm of his. I even felt like I was in an infinitely vast black field, because darkness weakened the concept of space.

In the darkness I saw a circle of light, which grew larger, and I saw him sitting on the edge of my bed.

"I'll explain to you the concept of a ghost golem first." He opened his mouth, and I pricked up my ears to listen.

"Ghost puppets are a kind of rule in the middle of reincarnation, as ghosts, we are willing and only willing to have an exchange of life with the person we agree with, in short, we are willing to die for you once. This can be understood as another life of your human beings, and it can also be understood as our ghost saving a human life, this is a matter of accumulating yin virtue, it is a good thing for both people and ghosts, no ghost will refuse to be a ghost puppet, you can understand it as mutual benefit. To become a ghost puppet, you must fulfill the contract, and you can't decide to die without permission, until the contract "person" completes the exchange of the past life, can you understand this? ”

I nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"It's just that for some reason, fewer and fewer people can sign contracts with us now, so more and more ghosts have become ghosts."

"Is it a complicated process to sign this contract?"

"It's simple, you just need to be able to see us."

I suddenly understood what he meant, it is not difficult to sign a contract, but it is difficult to find people with yin and yang eyes.

"You just said that now, there are many people like me before?"

"Well, a lot, at least at my time."

"You at that time? When is it? ”

"You'll know right away, if it's smooth, if it's not smooth, you'll never have to know." He paused and continued, "Let me ask you a question, do you know how many ghosts there are?" ”

"Three kinds, the virtual phase, the life phase, and the death phase."

"It's not bad, it's not that I don't know anything."

I smiled secretly in my heart, these are all things that Feng's mother secretly told me. Illusion is the appearance of a ghost disguised to scare others, or the usual appearance. Feng's mother usually looks like an elegant middle-aged and elderly woman, Ah Sleepy and Xinliang are like children, of course, their terrifying appearance is also a kind of illusion, and the handsome man in front of him should also be his illusion. It is easier to understand that they were when they were alive, I have seen Feng's mother's appearance before, wearing a cheongsam, very graceful. Death is what it looks like when she dies, and I guess most ghosts are not too beautiful when they die, because Feng's mother never let me see her death.

He continued: "As a ghost, if you want to be a ghost puppet of a person, you need to meet several points. First, that person can see our deaths. Second, we are willing to let that person see our death. Then the contract can be signed. Once the contract is signed, we cannot decide our own death, and we are bound by the contract and cannot break it. The two little ones at the door will not be restrained, and will be free to decide their own death, even if they are willing to die for you at any time. But once I am able to sign a contract with you, I can't choose. ”

"You just said you could? Is there still a situation where you can't sign a contract? ”

"Of course, I once wanted to be your old woman's ghost puppet, but failed."

"That's because grandma has Mama Feng."

"Who told sù that a person can only have one ghost puppet?!" He asked me sharply. I was asked, it is true that I always thought that people could only have one ghost golem, and I never thought that there could be more than one, but if a person with yin and yang can have more than one ghost golem, doesn't that mean...

"If you're smart, you should understand why there are fewer and fewer people who have yin-yang magic now, right?"

"Because of greed, because of the pursuit of immortality?"

"It's smart. If everyone has Yin and Yang Arts, they can also have the possibility of immortality, imagine if you can have 100 ghost golems, what does it mean? So capture, imprison, actualize, and kill, there are many kings in all dynasties who want to figure out the yin and yang arts. ”

"Has anyone ever succeeded? Figuring out the Yin-Yang Thing? ”

"Maybe there is, or maybe not, I don't know." Look at his expression, even if he knows he won't sue me.

"So you said you failed to sign a contract with your grandmother? Why? ”

"Because she can't see, me."

"I don't understand, grandma can see it..."

"That's right, your grandmother also has yin-yang magic and can see us, so Xiao Feng has become her ghost puppet, but you have to understand that a person with yin-yang eyes is like having his own third eye, which must have his own vision and blind spots like his own eyes. The stronger the ability, the wider the field of view, and the smaller the blind spots. At our time, I knew a person who had no blind spots. It's a pity that your grandma has a blind spot, and she can't see my death. ”

"And you think I can see it?" I've always felt that my grandmother's abilities are very different. "Besides, I don't know what the death phase looks like, maybe you just use an ordinary virtual phase."

"You can tell at once that death is different from the others, if you can see it. Your grandmother once said that if there is anyone in this world who can help me, it is only you. ”

I was a little shocked, I didn't expect my grandmother to give me such a high evaluation in front of outsiders.

"Why do you have to be a golem? Wouldn't it be better to choose the afterlife? ”

"That's what I want your help with, I can't die, I don't have what I had in life."

It dawned on me that when I died, I must have something on my body before I died, this is what Feng's mother told me, although she didn't say how to use it, but I knew that Feng's mother's inseparable purse had a lock of her hair before her death. Xinliang also chose her hair, Ah Sleepy is more perverted, it has its sharpest claw.

"So you..."

"I don't know where my body is, I think it must have been some spell they did to me when I died, and when I woke up, I was wandering away from the place where I died, but my body wasn't there."

"Who are they?"

"I'll tell you about this later, maybe you're the only one who can help me find my body."

"You look like you've been dead for a long time, why don't you look for it yourself? There are many places where ghosts can go. ”

"How do you know I haven't looked for it? But there are places in this world that we can't go to, or can't find, and maybe my body is there. ”

"Do you think I can help you find it?"

"Perhaps, it depends on whether you can sign the contract or not. If you can't even see me, it's useless to say anything. Here we go. ”

I didn't expect to start so soon, and I was a little caught off guard, so I took a deep breath and nodded.

"You've seen my virtual appearance, let you see my appearance first, I need to remind you that your grandmother hasn't even been able to see my appearance, so don't be surprised if I suddenly disappear, of course, don't be surprised if I don't disappear, don't be surprised if you see it, maybe it's not the same as you think."

I nodded, and suddenly a little gut told me that I could see it. The halo around him disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, and when the halo came back to light, he appeared in front of me, a different him.

His face did not change, very fair, handsome and emaciated cheeks, but his hair had grown very long, almost waist-long. His upper body is **, not as thin as he imagined, and he is very strong. He was barefoot, wearing white bloomers-like trousers, and the mermaid line was faintly visible, and my heart was beating a little faster when I saw it.

No, there's something wrong. His back, his back, his long black hair didn't cover it, and there was a pair of wings there, crow-like, huge, black wings?!

"Are you an angel of darkness?"

"Can you see that?!" There was a hint of joy in his voice.

"Yes, your wings are so cool, you're a foreign ghost? Or what angel?! ”

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, I'm a member of the Yin and Yang family, and all of us in the Yin and Yang family are like this."

Yin and Yang Family?! I suddenly thought of the yin and yang family in "Qin Shi Mingyue" when Qin unified the world.

"Animations are all lies, if we in the Yin and Yang family knew that the current people arranged the story like this, we would definitely die again in anger." It seems that he also knows about the cartoon, but the story is all fictional, and he doesn't seem to mind too much.

"Then your family... And we..."

"All dead, at that time. It has nothing to do with your yin-yang technique, your family was not called yin-yang at that time, it was called other names. He didn't seem to want to talk about it and tilted his head to the side.

"Wow, you're so handsome." I reached out and touched it, and the wings were the same as those of birds, all black feathers, soft but cold.

"Can you touch me?!" Suddenly, as if he had been burned by fire, he flashed to the side.

"What's the problem? I have yin-yang magic?! ”

"It's different, you should only be able to see it, in your generation, it's not easy to see us, let alone encounter."

Suddenly, my mind was full of question marks, I thought of Feng's mother holding me to escape the car accident, and I thought of me eating candy with Xinliang and Ah Sleepy. I thought that every time my grandmother handed Feng Ma the coffee was just on the plate, I thought of the strange distance when they walked. Suddenly I understood, it was my grandmother who was afraid that her body would be embarrassed by passing through Feng's mother, I had always ignored this matter, and my grandmother and I did seem to have a lot of differences.

He looked excited, and although he didn't speak, he kept looking me in the eye, full of surprise.

"Maybe, if you're really the one I'm looking for, you're not necessarily the one I'm looking for. Ready to get started? Look at my death, it might not be so good-looking. As he spoke, he handed me a needle, the pure gold kind, very thin, but it felt a little heavy in his hand. Take this, and you'll be able to use it later. Ready to get started? ”

I nodded, and my mind was already drawing on all sorts of horrific scenes. But when the halo reappeared, I was still scared. The scene wasn't bloody, it wasn't disgusting, but it was terrifying, that kind of horror that made people feel bad in the back.

He curled up in a strange position, and I couldn't really make out what he looked like, because he was covered with needles. The kind of long, long needle. The needle was thin but seemed to be hard, very long, how long, and I observed a needle that ran through his right ankle, through the right side of the rib and out of the left shoulder. Because of this threading, the long needles made his legs curl back and his body was ball-shaped. How many of these needles are there? Uncountable! I really can't count the needles of the same length and length passing through all parts of his body. He's right, this appearance is really special, unlike all the ghosts I've seen before, his death is shrouded in a layer of crimson blood. In one sentence, I was faced with a ball of needles filled with steel needles like a hedgehog glowing red with blood. I noticed that there were complicated characters on those needles, which were the script of the Qin State.

"Right now, prick your finger with that golden needle and drip your blood between my eyebrows, though it might be a little hard."

He opened his mouth to speak, but I didn't know where he was making the sound, and I couldn't even find his face. I was almost dazed and dripping blood on his so-called face, if it was a face at all.

His voice remembered again, "I, Ji Ziyang, acknowledge the contract. ”

Ji Ziyang, it turns out that his name is this. I didn't pay much attention to what was going on, and the bedroom was back to its original state, and he put on his casual sweatshirt while I stayed where I was. I didn't even notice that I was sitting on the ground. He came and picked me up.

"I'm sorry to scare you."

I was stunned for a long time, and finally I said a word. "Does it hurt? Then? ”

He looked at me and smiled, and that smile was warmer than before.

"I forgot."
