Chapter 35: It's Me Not Me

The evil ghost in a pitch-black raincoat stepped into a piece of paper, and suddenly the wind howled in the store, blowing paper money and spiritual products to the ground. The windows were blown open from the inside out, shining in the miserable white moonlight.

I kept backing away, but how big could the well-dressed lobby be?

Are you going to die?

I stared at the hideous sneer on the ghost's face, and after the fear, some thoughts of regret crossed my mind.

I still have a lot of things to do... I regret that I didn't honor my parents and grandmother... regretted that he didn't have the courage to leave Lu Jia at the beginning......

"A piece of paper, a hundred gods guard. I wouldn't dare to come here in normal times. With a smug sneer on his face, the ghost looked up at the lamp overhead, and with a bang, the already flickering bulb shattered completely.

The clothes were completely plunged into darkness, and only a little moonlight shining in from the window illuminated the ghost's even more terrifying face.

He wasn't in a hurry to kill me and seemed to enjoy the process of driving me to despair.

At this time, I touched something cold in the back of my head, and subconsciously turned around to find that I had retreated to Sun Hong's old recliner.

The sick boy sitting on the chaise longue, he was still there, looking down at me at this time.

"Are you afraid?"

His voice was still soft, his short black hair covered his forehead, and his pale skin became a little grayer at this moment.

Afraid?

I was a little amused by the question the boy asked, and I wanted to laugh, but here and now, I really couldn't laugh.

"I'm afraid." I confessed, looking at him and thinking that this young man was younger than me, but died before me, I suddenly felt a little calmer, and asked him, "Do you think death is terrible?" ”

The boy tilted his head, as if pondering my question, and a very shallow smile appeared on his sickly face.

"Die... I don't know, because I'm not dead yet. The boy reached out and pulled me up, and his words made me stunned.

Not dead yet? Is he a living man?

"Who are you?" At this moment, the ghost suddenly spoke, and I quickly turned my head to look over, and found that the ghost had a surprised expression, as if I had just realized that I was not the only one in the store.

I subconsciously thought about it, and it seemed that the five ghosts who came before were the same, and they came directly at me, as if they didn't see this young man.

"I'll help you." The boy whispered to me, his hands cold and unwarm, not at all like the arms of a living man.

Then he stood up, and next to his emaciated body, a dark blue ghost fire suddenly ignited.

"I don't think I'm going to devour ghosts, it looks like I'm going to break my vows today!" The evil ghost sneered, and did not pay attention to the ghost fire around the young man, and with a wave of his big hand, a strong and cold yin wind swept out, extinguishing the ghost fire in the blink of an eye.

"You can't beat him!" I said anxiously that I didn't want this poor young man to take his soul because of me after he died.

The young man seemed to look around with some confusion, his right hand opened five fingers, and a faint blue flame jumped on each finger, and then the blue ghost fire quickly wrapped his palm and slapped it forward.

"Humph!" The ghost sneered, still disdainful, and struck it with a palm, and the pitch-black rancid black gas came out.

But this time, the black qi met the opponent, the dark blue ghost fire forced the black qi back, and the young man's emaciated palm slapped directly on the ghost's body!

"What?" The demon was terrified.

I was a little stunned to see the black qi retreat like a tide, and the boy's skin emitted a faint blue light, and wisps of moonlight were gathering on him, making his skin seem to be transparent.

"Get out."

The young man's voice was weak, but his words were extremely powerful. A palm swept the ghost out of the shop. I heard a roar of rage and horror in the black air, so terrible that it made my scalp tingle.

The evil spirit stood firm outside the door, and a clear palm print was left on its chest!

He looked at the sick-looking young man in the door in disbelief, and asked nervously, "Who are you?" ”

"Born from bones, thousands of years into spirits." The boy leaned against the door panel and said two sentences. When I heard this, a thought flashed through my mind.

No way......

I immediately looked at the broken bones on the table and swallowed with some difficulty.

"Bone creatures?" The ghost seemed surprised to hear this, and he looked up again, and two blood-red rays of light came out of his rotten eyes, shining on the boy, as if trying to see him through.

However, before the blood-colored light could get close to the boy's body, it disintegrated and dissipated in the process.

Seeing this, the ghost seemed to confirm something, turned around and walked away without looking back, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Although the ghost spirit was gone, the cold yin aura that shrouded the paper crown did not dissipate. The window was open, and the cold moonlight shone in, and the boy turned around and smiled shallowly.

"You... Are you ......" I took a deep breath, trying not to let my voice tremble.

If my guess is correct, the young man in front of me will probably be more terrifying than the ghost, and will be the most terrifying existence of the evil ghost shop tonight!

"Are you afraid of me?" The boy tilted his head, as if he felt a little tired of standing like this, so he sat down, "I'm here, and those ghosts won't come to harm you again." ”

“… To be honest, I was a little scared just now. I admitted, then looked at the bulb above my head and said, "You wait first, I'll change the bulb." ”

The boy didn't agree or object, sat in the doorway, watched as I moved the chairs, replaced the light bulbs, and after a few flashes of light, the lobby was lit again.

I looked at the time, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, and there were only thirty minutes left before closing.

As long as these thirty minutes have passed, the demon shop will be over. But before that, I had to face the boy in front of me.

Only now, I can't treat him like a poor boy who died of illness.

"Why would you want to help me?" I moved a chair and sat down, then motioned to the chaise longue across from me, "You don't have to sit in the doorway, and you're not a doorman." ”

“… I am more useful than the door god. The boy seemed to think seriously about my joke, and then replied.

I couldn't help but laugh, and the tension brought by him dissipated a lot: "Okay, okay, little door god, sit down." ”

“… You're not afraid of me anymore? The boy left the stool in the doorway and sat down on the chaise longe.

I shrugged: "What's the use of being afraid?" If you want to hurt me, I won't be able to run away. And with you, you can help me scare away the evil spirits who are making trouble. ”

The young man looked at me fixedly for a moment, then suddenly smiled lightly and said, "You are lying, you are obviously afraid of me." You'll be happy if I leave. ”

… Is it seen through?

I scratched my head, took the box with the broken bones, and handed it to the boy, "You're here for this, aren't you?" I'm sorry I took your bones without your consent. ”

"I heard what you said, though." The boy looked up at the time, and said, "The time is not yet up, and the pact you made with me was, 'Survive the calamity of tonight.'" ”

"Uh... You heard me? "I felt a little embarrassed for a while than scared, and I felt that I had broken people's bones in front of people......

The boy sat cross-legged on the chaise longue, looked at me with a pair of dark eyes, and said as a matter of course, "Of course, if I don't agree, you can't take my bones." Because you swore by blood, I let you take a broken bone. ”

"That's... That one... The formation at the entrance of the cave? "I thought of the 'Liuhe Lock Ghost Array' that Lilac had placed at the door, although Lilac was blowing all over the sky at the time, it obviously had no effect.

Senior sister, senior sister, you are a little more reliable, right......

The young man smiled and didn't answer, but I seemed to feel his disdain.

At this point, we fell silent.

"A rib was taken away... Will it hurt? "I really don't like the silence, and I provoke a conversation without saying anything. The boy looked at me, and suddenly his right hand reached out to me: "You really want to know?" ”

Hearing his eerie words, I quickly shook my head and said, "Don't..."

"Actually, it doesn't hurt. Or rather, I don't know what pain is. The boy withdrew his hand, apparently just a joke, coughed lightly twice, and then said faintly, "I am a white bone from a thousand years ago, born of bones. Although the white bone is me, I am not the life of this bone. ”

"Maybe... Maybe you are his reincarnation? ”

"Do you believe in reincarnation?" He asked, and I opened my mouth, unable to be sure: "Maybe?" ”

The boy smiled and did not answer.

… Did he feel lonely? Still confused?

"Have you ever left that cave?" I couldn't help but ask.

The boy seemed to fall into memory, and after a while he said, "Once, when I was just conscious, I left there. I remember I freaked out a lot of people, and it was... More than ten years ago, I met a man surnamed Sun, who took me back to the tomb and told me not to go out casually. This... It's the second time. ”

The surname Sun... It should be Grandpa Sun, right?

I guess that this is probably the origin of the legend in Lilac's mouth, Sun Hong used the Seven Star Array to suppress the thousand-year-old white bones.

But in fact... That's not the case at all, the dead old man just bullied the young man for not knowing the world and framed him back!

Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed. I counted more or less a well-dressed person, Old Man Sun framed him back, and I went to break his bones again, if this is counted......

I don't have enough lives to die!

Jingle bells!

At this moment, the brass bell rang again, which scared me out. But the four o'clock on the clock reminded me that this time the bell was not coming from the evil spirit, but that it was time to close.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw the white belly of the fish floating in the sky, and I had a sense of unreality for the rest of my life.

The demon broke into the shop and finally passed.

"It's time." The boy also stood up, and I saw him reach for the broken bone, and then thrust it into his abdomen in front of me.

"Thank you." I thanked him, for if he hadn't come, I would have been eaten by the demon.

The young man glanced at me, and a smile gradually appeared on his sickly face, and he said faintly, "You gave me one less thing." ”
