Chapter 56: The Call of the Orphanage

When he returned to the post house, the street lamps had begun to gradually change to incandescent light, Nanshan cautiously leaned against the door and listened for a while, not feeling a trace of movement in the room, and was wondering, and then smelled the strong aroma of wine around, and finally relaxed in his heart.

Entering the door lightly, Nanshan immediately saw Dong Liang and Qing Yue lying on the table with their heads facing each other, both pillowing their arms, sleeping very soundly.

Qingyue was not drunk, and when he heard Nanshan's footsteps, he raised his head very vigilantly.

Seeing a cold light flashing in the eyes of the oncoming face, Nanshan hurriedly made a look of begging for mercy and said, "Don't, don't hit me, I know it's wrong!" ”

Nanshan held his head in his hands, squatted down without thinking, and tried his best to curl himself up into a pea worm.

"Alas, I'm too lazy to bother with you," Qingyue sighed, patted his cheek with his hand, and asked, "How is it, on the first day of office, what good things happened?" Tell me about my dear second brother. ”

"Huh? Two...... Second Senior Brother, are you okay? Nanshan loosened his arms, raised his head and looked at Qing Yue, only to find that Qing Yue's face was as white as usual, and he didn't even leave a single scar, and his clothes had been changed, Qing Yue stood up and slowly walked towards her, not seeing any injuries.

"It's okay, I can heal others, and naturally I can heal myself, I haven't been tortured by you before, I'm used to it, I'm used to it......"

Qingyue threw her a charming wink, Nanshan smiled innocently, and many embarrassing pictures appeared in her mind, indeed, when she was in Xianling Mountain, she didn't give Qingyue a stumbling block and a set, so to put it mildly, this time she wanted to get rid of the shackles and wanted to act independently, which was finally a reason to be on the stage.

"Then, that senior brother...... Still angry? Nanshan asked tentatively.

"Speaking of which...... Oh, second senior brother, I am simply a model in the world who repays grievances with virtue! Last night, I drank with him for a night, and finally got him drunk, so that he couldn't trouble you, isn't the second senior brother particularly considerate? ”

Qing Yue put his hands on Nanshan's shoulders, with a bit of unclear emotion in his eyes, and then said, "How are you going to thank me?" Or how are you going to compensate me? ”

"I ...... I ......" Nanshan took two steps back, his eyes fluttered, and suddenly he had an idea: "Second senior brother!" Something big is going to happen in the city! Last night, last night and Jasmine Senior and I met a group of resentful spirits, a group of ah! ”

"Wraiths? In the city? Qing Yue was puzzled, immediately put away the cynical expression on his face, and said thoughtfully: "I remember...... There will be no resentful spirits in the great cities of the underworld! ”

Thinking about it, he quickly turned around and went to the table, pushed the east fence twice, and raised his voice and said, "Wake up!" ”

Dong Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, he opened his eyes and looked at Qingyue, snorted impatiently, turned his head to the other side, and continued to sleep.

"No, Second Senior Brother, what kind of wine did you drink last night? Is there any wine in this world that can drink the elder brother? Nanshan was anxious in his heart, and his tone was a little complaining.

"You...... Do you think he drinks well? Qing Yue rolled his eyes, picked up an empty bottle from the ground, pointed to the words on it and said to Nanshan: "However, what we drank last night was indeed not ordinary wine, these were specially sent by Zhaotai to bring it up from the Lower Underworld, saying that it was a wine that would only be taken out to entertain distinguished guests." ”

"Then what should I do now, Jasmine senior asked me to be with you, saying that it would be safer to take care of each other, but I am very worried about them, seeing them as if they are facing a great enemy, it seems that the appearance of resentful spirits in the big city is a very trivial thing......"

Nanshan rubbed the palms of his hands and paced around the room, looking up at Qingyue for a while, and looking at Dongli for a while, his eyes were full of resentment that hated iron and could not become steel.

Seeing that he couldn't wake up the East Fence, Qing Yue didn't show excessive panic, and he thought quickly in his mind, now Bai Miao and Bai Xiaohua are missing, and the three of them have only been in the underworld for a few days...... There was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and there was always a wonderful feeling, wasn't it because of their visit that they would bring this ominous aura to the underworld?

But the girl named Jasmine was right, Nanshan and the two senior brothers were indeed the safest place to be placed.

In the past few days, Nanshan has been nesting in the post house with Qingyue and them very obediently, and has never stepped out of the post house.

During this period, Jasmine sent someone to deliver a message, so that Nanshan did not need to report to the Patrol Division for the time being, because now except for the routine patrol team, the entire city has entered a state of alert that the whole city is forbidden to go out day and night.

Nanshan sighed, silently mourning for her repeated "short-lived" work, and Jasmine also told her that Tiankui had made contact with Zhaotai, but the previous idea that they wanted to unite Zhaotai and the Grim Reaper to repair the enchantment was afraid that it would not be possible to realize it for the time being.

The Grim Reaper has been in retreat for a month, and the bottom of the purgatory where he lives is now filled with infernal enchantments that no one can break into, including his beloved disciple Zhaotai.

"I really didn't expect that Dongli could sleep so well......" Qingyue stuffed a glutinous rice cake into his mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

In front of him, Dong Li still closed his eyes tightly, motionless, looking like a tall ice sculpture with a handsome face and extraordinary temperament, if it wasn't for even breathing, his complexion would be the same, Qing Yue really wanted to think in an unlucky direction.

Nanshan sat at the table, her eyes blank, playing with the bone hairpin in her hand, but the scene of that night kept echoing in her mind, at that time, when those resentful spirits let out a piercing high-frequency cry together, she had a momentary sense of déjà vu, as if she felt that there was something in her body, and at that moment, she wanted to desperately break out of her skin.

She couldn't remember when she had felt this feeling before, maybe it was when she was bewitched by the big rabbit resentful spirit when she first stepped into the underworld, or when she confronted the bear monster in the Bairui Fang of the demon world earlier, or when she was trapped by the black-robed phantom in the Beastmaster Valley with a formation......

The hosta flipped up and down on her weak and boneless fingertips, and suddenly, she felt something glowing in her arms, and when she pulled it out, it turned out to be her badge of the group.

panicked all of a sudden, Nanshan knew that this was a way used by the Patrol Division to deliver news, and she was very sure that this couldn't be someone from the group who was sending a signal to her, and those people had such a general order not to report, and they weren't happy to roll around at home?

Then the only one who will call her is Jasmine's senior.

Nanshan came back to his senses and found that Qingyue had already walked out with an empty plate.

The inn had obviously entertained guests from the divine realm, so foods from the underworld, such as dead shrimp with a strange gaze, or rice porridge with green smoke, would definitely not appear on their table.

"Is Jasmine-senpai in danger?" Nanshan muttered to herself, stroking the intricate and gorgeous lines on the badge, her heart beating faster.

But this time she finally weighed her weights clearly, and no longer planned to act alone, she glanced at the bed again, and Dong Li maintained his peaceful sleeping appearance—a sleeping face that made people want to pour a basin of footwashing water on his face.

"Second Senior Brother!" Nanshan saw that Qing Yue was walking towards her through the courtyard corridor with a plate of roasted goods in his hand, and immediately greeted her.

Qing Yue saw that Nanshan looked uneasy at a glance, but he didn't panic, and teased: "What's wrong?" That guy in Dongli, is he finally out of breath? ”

"Second Senior Brother! Look at this! ”

Nanshan trotted all the way over, approached him with a badge in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Senior Jasmine is very likely to be in trouble, you see, she is calling me." ”

While the two walked back to the room, Nanshan quickly explained the situation to Qingyue.

After listening to Nanshan's speculation, Qing Yue's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said in surprise: "I didn't expect it, Xiao Nanshan, when you encounter something now, will you be the first to think of asking for help from the second senior brother?" ”

"Huh?" Nanshan was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Oh......" Qingyue followed her gaze and looked at the "living dead" Dong Li on the bed, and was suddenly pulled back to reality, realizing that he was not the "best candidate" at all, and his expression became a little frustrated.

"Then, let's hurry up!"

At this time, Nanshan didn't sort out Yue's heart, whether there was anything unpleasant, he just pulled up his sleeves, and the two ran out of the door one after the other.

The time in the underworld should be evening, there is no pedestrian on the road, Qing Yue tracked all the way according to the hint of the badge, and soon took Nanshan through to an area composed of old houses, because it was inconvenient to show the high-level magic of turning the streamer in front of Nanshan, Qing Yue still used a more conservative sword to fly, but also avoided the guards who patrolled the streets and alleys.

It was terrible quiet, dead silence. Qing Yue made a silent gesture, his eyes looked at the old houses very vigilantly, and Nanshan followed behind him, and his steps were very light.

"Here it is...... Lonely Souls? ”

Qing Yue wiped off the ashes on a piece of the door plate, and muttered out the mottled lettering on the door plate, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his fingers twisted the ashes, and suddenly felt sick in his heart.

- It is the ashes that turn into ashes after the death of the soul.
