Chapter 4: The Devil's Difference
"The reason is clear. Du Fu was supposed to die that day, but the ghost envoy in charge of soul fishing did not find his soul for two reasons: either he had already gone to the underworld, or he had swapped souls with someone. And if you can't find that person, because that person is most likely not a human, but a ghost. After Bai Wuchang finished speaking, he looked at Du Fu. The eyes of the others followed him closely.
Du Fu coughed dryly and said, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”
"Because you're not human." Li Bai looked at him and said seriously.
Jiang Xiaoxiao squirted out a mouthful of water.
She just heard Li Bai shouting "There is a ghost", so she ran over from Du Jiajia.
"Ahem. What did you just say? Jiang Xiaoxiao patted his chest and asked.
What he meant was that this person, Du Fu, was not a human being...... No, it's not 'Du Fu'. Bai Wuchang pointed at Du Fu and said.
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked over and pinched Du Fu's white and pure cheeks.
"Wow-you, what are you doing?!" Du Fu covered his face with nail marks and was shocked.
"It's really not like 'Du Fu'. Du Fu should be able to say: Jiang Xiaoxiao, you are looking for death-that's right. ”
Li Bai nodded wordlessly, expressing his approval.
"And then? This person is not 'Du Fu', so who is it? Jiang Xiaoxiao sat back in his chair and asked.
"It's Du Fu, one of the 'Great Li Du' in ancient times!" Li Bai shouted exaggeratedly.
Everyone didn't speak, waiting for Jiang Xiaoxiao's next sentence.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Hahaha! Today is not April Fool's Day. I didn't expect Grandpa Du to follow the two of them naïve ghosts, and find someone to play Bai Impermanence? Hahaha! I'm laughing to death! Jiang Xiaoxiao clutched his stomach and laughed. The crowd watched him and did not speak.
"You have this time, but my mother doesn't. I'm going to find Sister Jiajia. You guys play slowly. Hahaha-" Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Xiaoxiao got up with a smile and walked out of the room.
"What do we do now?" When he couldn't hear Jiang Xiaoxiao's thunderous laughter, Li Bai asked.
"Ahem." Bai Wuchang clenched his right hand into a fist and coughed dryly, "I came to find Du Fu at the behest of the King of Hades." Now, Du Zimei is the person in charge of the communication between the prefecture and the world, responsible for the daily communication between the prefecture and the world, and promoting the common development of the prefecture and the world......"
Looking at Bai Wuchang's expression in the speech, Li Bai thought to himself: Are the ghosts in the underworld so advanced now......
When Bai Wuchang talked a lot and stopped, Du Fu hurriedly asked, "Is there no way to go back?" “
Bai Wuchang touched his head and said, "Not for the time being." So I'll grieve you for the time being. “
"What is the person in charge of that prefecture?" Du Fu asked again.
"Communicate. But it's actually doing something else. Speaking of this, Bai Wuchang's tone suddenly became serious.
Du Fu took a breath, and he had a hunch that his next words must not be good words.
Sure enough—
"Hades has another mission for you. The responsibility of the underworld is to act as a transit point for every soul reincarnation, and only the underworld can do it. However, there is a large turnover of people in the underworld, and there are countless ghosts every day, and it is impossible to determine the ghosts in charge of fishing for souls one by one. Some ghost envoys don't even know if they are fishing for a yin or yang spirit. The yin soul is the soul that remains in the world after death, and the yang soul is the soul of the living. So this has caused a lot of trouble for soul fishing. The highest record of fishing souls by mistake was 300 yang souls by mistake in a day, but it took me and Lao Hei two days and one night to attach it back. Bai Wuchang remembered the past and put on a tired and paralyzed expression.
"And then?" Du Fu asked.
"And then," Bai Wuchang straightened up, "your mission is not to possess souls. Your mission is to fish for souls. ”
"Soul fishing? How to fish? As soon as Du Fu wanted to speak, Li Bai had already asked a question one step ahead of him.
"The reason why the Yin Soul wanders the world is because it still remembers the world. Your task is to get them to leave the world with all their hearts, or to leave the world without regrets - just let them leave the world and go to the underworld anyway. Bai Wuchang said.
"What am I not going to do?" Du Fu hurriedly said.
Bai Wuchang gave him a roll of his eyes: "Me and Lao Hei didn't know it at first, but now we can't do it all?" ”
"Besides," Bai Wuchang crossed his arms and looked at Du Hui, who had been silent, "He will help you." ”
Du Hui nodded and did not speak.
"There's another question. What if I catch a Shade? I can't go back now. Du Fu asked again.
"That, I have a lock spirit bag here, which can lock the spirit for half a month at the longest. When you catch it, lock it inside. I'll pick it up once every seven days. I'll bring you a better one next time. Bai Wuchang took out an ink-colored money bag-like thing and handed it to Du Fu.
"Also," Du Fu stopped Bai Wuchang, who was about to leave, "How can I find you if I get into trouble?" ”
Bai Wuchang had already retired half of his body, he felt something in his sleeve and threw it to Du Fu, saying, "Use this." Then he disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been.
What he threw to Du Fu was a bell. Calling the bell, a communication artifact in the underworld, is equivalent to today's smartphones. Only the level above the ghost is to have it, but Bai Wuchang threw him to Du Fu, a 'person' who is not even a ghost. The bell is shaped like an ordinary bell, and it can be called by shaking it gently, and it can even protect the body by shaking it vigorously. Normally, it doesn't make a sound.
"That's great! Du Fu-" Li Bai shouted and was about to pounce, Du Fu hurriedly retreated, and Li Bai fell straight on the bed.
He turned over, looked at Du Fu who was upside down, and said with a smile: "It's like the plot in a novel!" We're going to go ghost fishing! We're a ghost-catching duo! Hahaha-"
Du Fu corrected: "Attention, this is my task, and it has nothing to do with mortals. “
"Why?" Li Bai turned over again, lay on the bed and looked at Du Fu, puffed out his cheeks and said, "I can help you." “
"It's too dangerous, no." Du Fu got out of bed and said.
"Let him follow you." The hoarse old man sounded.
"Why? You know ......," Du Fu asked.
"If you are alone, it will be easy to be exposed, so it is better to let Li Bai cover for you." After saying that, Du Hui got up and walked out of the room.
"Yay—that's great!" Li Bai pressed his head into the quilt and applauded excitedly.
Du Fu looked at him, looked at the bell in his hand, and sighed.
"Xiaofu, it's time to eat." Du Mu shouted outside the door.
"Here we are." Du Fu poked Li Bai's head with his toes, "Are you staying to eat?" ”
"Of course!" Li Bai raised his head suddenly, "The ghost hunting duo has to be together to avoid emergencies." ”
Du Fu supported his forehead. You've read too many novels, kid.
The two of them shoved and walked out of the room.
As the sun sets, another story is about to begin.
