Chapter 34: Not a Friend
After listening to the description of the king pigeon, Xu Zi finally understood that the king pigeon was not a pervert.
Wang Ge is a filial child, reporting good news but not bad news, afraid that his parents will be afraid to see this bloody clothes, so he can only make this decision.
He urged, "Give me some of it, it's been a long time, and Mom and Dad will be suspicious." ”
Xuzi stretched out her right hand, rubbed her thumb and middle finger, snapped her fingers, and a wisp of fire suddenly burst from her right middle finger. The king pigeon quickly took the cigarette in his mouth, lit it like others smoked, lit it, and put the cigarette standing next to the sink.
When he took out the second one and wanted to light it, Xuzi snatched the cigarette from the pigeon's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, snapped his fingers and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath of smoke and sprayed it out, blowing out the flames.
"If you want to spread the smell of smoke throughout the room, it's better to smoke it directly. "The action of Xuzi swallowing clouds and spitting out the fog is very skillful, like an old smoker, his mouth takes a big puff of smoke from the cigarette filter, but he doesn't see any smoke coming out.
To tell the truth, Wang Ge has always thought that women smoke with a kind of elegance, but the purple expression and movements are really not flattering, and they are like old hooligans on the street.
"Smoking is bad for your health. ”
Xuzi smiled and replied, "Do you think I'm still healthy?"
That's right! Death is not human, he is already dead, where does health come from?
The king pigeon shook his head helplessly. "Then you won't be able to taste anything. ”
"I don't really taste like it. Xuzi nodded, and the big puff of smoke he had just inhaled sprayed on Wang Ge's face.
"What's the point of smoking? You Grim Reaper is weird. You can breathe and have a heartbeat, and you can eat, but there is no metabolism, and your body can become transparent at any time. The king pigeon coughed softly.
"Tar, carbon monoxide, nicotine, the more harmful these substances are, the better they are for death, even if they have little effect. It is true that the Grim Reaper does not need to eat, drink, and rest, but it needs something else to maintain the existence of the energy body. In the underworld, there is a thing called the blood-colored reed, which is not the same thing as the flower on the other side of the human world. The extract of the Scarlet Reed will provide the Reaper with energy. As for everything else, everything else is an appearance, when the Grim Reaper is not holding an umbrella, at least he should look like a normal person, after all, we have to exist in human society, if a person next to you has no breathing heartbeat, no body temperature fluctuations, do you still think he is a normal person?" Xuzi paused and said.
"Everything is in the service of taking away the soul. ”
The king pigeon nodded, and became interested in the blood-colored reeds in the underworld world, can this kind of thing help him?
The king pigeon about the Scarlet Reed ...... wanted more information.
"I know what you're thinking. You shouldn't know these things. Xuzi directly blocked Wang Ge's mouth and didn't let him continue to ask.
Wang Ge felt that the smell of smoke in the bathroom almost covered the smell of disinfectant and blood, and nodded with satisfaction. "Wait a minute!"
He opened the door of the bathroom and saw that his parents were in the bedroom preparing to rest, so he hung his uniform on the balcony, and when he returned to the bathroom, Xuzi was gone, and he cleaned up outside in a daze, and then slipped back to his room
Wang Ge entered the house and closed the door, and when he turned around, he saw Xuzi sitting on his bed, although Wangge was a little surprised, but he was still startled by the strange whereabouts of Xuzi, he quickly locked the door, and it was not good to have the situation that his mother pushed the door in like last time.
"Say, am I too familiar with you? Our relationship is better than the relationship between you and Lan Xin, has Lan Xin ever seen you half-naked? I have no frame of death in front of you, and you don't seem to be afraid of me at all. Xuzi said.
"Don't say it, auntie, Lan Xin really hasn't seen me dressed like this. But you're not human, just watch it, Lan Xin will understand. Wang Ge thought to himself, if you were a human being, you would smell blood and disinfectant as soon as you entered this bathroom, and he wouldn't have to spend so long explaining why he was lighting a cigarette.
The king pigeon only poured himself a glass of water, because the Grim Reaper does not need to drink water.
"Xuzi, in fact, you are right, I am not afraid of you at all. Since Wang Ge entered the ambulance, he has been drinking a lot more, he raised his cup and poured a few sips of water, like last time, let Xuzi sit on the bed, while he sat on the swivel chair in front of the computer desk, kept spinning around, playing with the chair.
"But I am a god of death, I will kill your kind, take their souls away, and let you experience sadness and loss, life and death. I also took the soul of that little girlfriend of yours. Xuzi stroked his legs and played with the umbrella in his hand.
"The person who really made Lan Xin like this is the driver who caused the accident, the van brakes failed, whose fault is it? The driver had both legs amputated, and he is still staying in Yaxiang Annex. Take away the soul, that's your job. I don't blame you for this, I also want to thank you, my soft heart left a trace of life, and gave me a chance to save her. “
Wang Ge took out the soul suppression card on his chest and stroked the quaint magic seal on the soul suppression card. The material of the soul suppression card is somewhat like alloy metal, but it is a dark brown wood grain style on it, heavy, cold to start, very comfortable in summer, wearing it on the chest can drive away death and law enforcers, and even the spirit will have a fear and dodge reaction, which can be regarded as being able to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, and calm people's minds.
Wang Ge suddenly thought that if it was winter, as long as the soul suppression card was placed on this chest, it would be like touching a piece of ice, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
It seems that this thing can't be warmed by body temperature.
Wang Ge remembered that when he played with Lan Xin when he was a child, Lan Xin would often stuff the popsicle he had just bought into his back collar while he was not paying attention, and a cold feeling came from the back of his spine, and Wang Ge knew that Lan Xin was going to invite him to eat popsicles again.
Thinking of this, Wang Ge's face gradually darkened and fell silent.
"Do you miss her so much?" Xu Zi carefully read the records of Wang Ge and Lan Xin in the book of life and death, and she knew everything that happened between the two of them.
A book of life and death is able to record everything that happened to a person from birth to death, like a diary.
However, after the person dies and the Grim Reaper extracts the soul, the Grim Reaper will check off the name of the person in the book of life and death, fill in the form and record it, and once the form is submitted to Lord Hades for approval, the soul will be changed back into reincarnation, and all the stories of the previous person will be erased in the book of life and death.
Not even the book of life and death records evidence of someone's existence!
If you're dead, you're literally nothing.
Fortunately, Lan Xin did not die.
Not completely dead, to be precise.
"How can you not want her? You should know that the moment she had an accident was the first time we had seen her in two years. I didn't even have time to say a word. Wang Ge shook his head with a wry smile and flipped the Soul Suppression card to the other side.
"Two Picks Three"
The king pigeon touched the three numbers that had been engraved into the brand.
He didn't know when he would be able to complete the gambling contract and save Lan Xin.
"Actually, I sometimes envy the girl lying in the hospital bed. Xuzi said. "Some people hurt, some people love, some people think about it, and some people sacrifice their lives to save each other. I was nineteen years old when I died, and by now, thirty-eight years have passed. “
"Call you Aunt Sheng, I didn't suffer. The king pigeon laughed twice. If Xuzi was still alive, then she would be in her fifties and nearly sixty.
"Why are you willing to help me?" asked the king pigeon suddenly. "You can take Lan Xin's soul without leaving any room, and then report to Lord Hades that I can see the god of death and souls, and let Lord Hades sanction me, maybe when you finish the work of the god of death, Lord Hades will open up to you, so that you can be more comfortable in the next life and live a little longer. “
"When I approach you with an umbrella, no one else can see me, nor can I see the shadow under the umbrella. I know I'm amazed when you see me, I feel like we're connected. The ghost sent the gods, and I really left a trace of life. The second time I met you in the hospital, it was really a coincidence. What a blessing it is to have someone who can give everything for yourself? I am willing to give you a chance, even if it is at the risk. “
Xuzi smiled and continued. "Actually, I don't want to endure this boring life anymore, so let's just treat it as a game. ”
Wang Ge first listened to Xuzi's words and felt very comfortable. But when he heard the last sentence, the sweat on his head flowed.
"Putting someone else's life ...... Is it a game?"
"I don't have anything else to play, why don't you play with your life?" Void purple glanced at the king pigeon, and then looked at the watch on his wrist, "Go back and fill out the form, I won't mess with you." Is there anything you can't solve on your own?"
"I feel like there's a good chance I'll lose to you. The king pigeon stared into the purple eyes. "It's just too difficult. ”
"It's up to you. If you lose to me, it's just that you don't have enough ability. If you agree to a bet, you have to abide by the rules of the game and accept the results. Don't get yourself in trouble. Xuzi stood up with the umbrella, straightened his clothes, and took a step forward out of thin air, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
Before leaving, Xuzi left one last sentence.
"Death has no friends, I'm not your friend, and don't treat death as a friend. ”
The voice echoed in the king's head and did not dissipate for a long time.
Xuzi returned to her own place, there was a bunch of forms on the table, she pulled out one at random, looked at the inkstone on the table and the ink was not dry, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, picked up the pen and wanted to write, but suddenly stopped, let the ink drip on the rice paper, forming a big ink spot, but I don't know what I was thinking about.
