"Xiaojian, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" A young man in a black tracksuit squinted at the child sitting next to him.

"No... Don't believe me," replied the kid named Xiaojian, frowning. Although Xiao Jian gave a negative answer, you could feel his hesitation and unfirmness from his tone.

"If in essence, there are no ghosts in this world." Xiao Jian was visibly relieved when he heard this answer. "After all, the soul exists in life and death, but the soul is separated from the body after death."

"Isn't that a ghost?" Xiao Jian couldn't help but complain about this person who was talking nonsense seriously.

"No, no, no, it's not." The young man shook his head slightly. "They are still in the world, but they exist in a different way."

"Then why do they want to stay in the world?" "Because there are still human debts to be settled! The debts of the world can only be settled in the world, but the underworld cannot control the affairs of the world. Only after the debts of the world are dealt with can the undead go to the underworld to be reincarnated. ”

"Human debt? What is that? ”

"Debt in the world" The young man laughed a few times, he shook his head and let out a sigh. Xiao Jian saw the excitement in the young man's eyes, and couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good, and he blamed himself for asking more questions to let this young man who was full of nonsense get the talk.

"Everything that happens in a person's life is recorded in the ledger of life and death. Do good deeds to accumulate virtue, do evil deeds to accumulate retribution, and after death, begin to reckoning with everything you have done in life. Accumulate virtue to repay wishes and repay debts. This is the debt of the world. If you do too much evil, you are likely to be locked away in the world forever, never to recover, and never to be reborn. After the young man finished speaking calmly, he found that Xiao Jian beside him was already frightened into a cold sweat.

"Can that virtue and retribution be compensated? Like addition and subtraction? Although Xiao Jian was trembling when he spoke, he expressed his understanding and expressed it vividly with the knowledge he had just learned in kindergarten. makes young people feel that this child around them is really teachable.

"This can't be done~" The young man pointed to the Tai Chi in the store and said. "Although it is easy to have Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments. But you see, the two instruments are clearly distinguished, and they do not invade each other and do not offset each other. ”

"So Xiaojian, don't do bad things, otherwise you will have to stay in the world and suffer after death~" The young man's squinted eyes opened slightly, and a trace of coldness leaked from his eyes.

"Why are you scaring my son again?" The proprietress who came out of the warehouse saw that Xiaojian was stunned by the young man, and couldn't help but give the young man a roll of her eyes.

"Xiaojian is so cute, I don't want to scare him!" When the young man found that the proprietress had returned, he narrowed his eyes again, and returned to his previous smiling face to welcome people and animals. "Okay, okay, twenty-three, hurry up and get the good things out of me. Don't get in the way of the old lady closing the file. When the proprietress saw Xiao Jian's appearance, she almost killed the young man.

"Give ~" After the young man paid and took the goods, he walked out of the store leisurely. However, he didn't go far, he turned back to Xiao Jian and yelled: "Xiao Jian remember~ Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small." ”

"You TM hurry up and get out of the old lady!" The proprietress finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart and scolded the young man. However, the young man was unimpressed, still squinting and smiling and waving goodbye to them, until he slowly disappeared from the sight of their mother and son.

The young man who visits the paper shop every day when dark falls is called Guo Ziyu, who according to his own account is a writer who writes novels to make a living. The proprietress wondered more than once whether this man's profession was a writer or a charlatan, after all, what writer would come every night to buy incense for worship? However, for the sake of being an old customer, the proprietress finally saw through it and didn't say anything, after all, who in the world doesn't have one or two secrets that they don't want to tell others?

Night fell as usual on this small city on the southeast coast. Although the place has a thriving economy and a rich nightlife, thanks to the joint efforts of ** and its residents, there are very few crimes in this small town. The town is safe and secure, so people are very comfortable traveling at night, and the streets are full of people and people, like the daytime.

"Yaoyao, it's almost time, where are you now?"

"I... It must be nearby, right? ”

Wang Minyao, who was looking for directions with her mobile phone in the night, looked a little flustered because she was not sure where she was. Although she is a top student who goes to college in the capital, and she is also a "child of someone else's family" that many parents say they don't have to worry about, such a girl who has been praised by countless people still has shortcomings.

She's a true road idiot, despite having navigation on her phone.

"Yaoyao... You don't think you're going to get lost, are you? The voice from the mobile phone was very affirmative. Today, Wang Minyao made an appointment with a few friends to have dinner together. Although everyone knows that Wang Minyao is a punctual person (on the premise of being picked up and picked up), friends who have been classmates for many years know that Wang Minyao is an out-and-out road idiot, after all, only Wang Minyao can do this kind of sassy operation if she can't find a classroom in high school for three years.

"I... Yes, I, lost. Wang Minyao gave up resistance and admitted directly.

"Yaoyao, how long have you been on the road?"

"Probably... There was half an hour..."Wang Minyao's face turned red after he finished saying this.

The conversation between them was abruptly interrupted for a few seconds.

"Yaoyao, you first find a bright place to stand, and then take a photo and send a real-time location, I'll come to you." Wang Minyao heard his friend's tone become complicated.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Saying that, Wang Minyao followed his friend's instructions and chose to stand next to a bright small shop and wait for his friend's arrival. For today's party, Wang Minyao dressed up carefully before going out. Although she has only been in college for one semester, she is not too good at makeup, but light makeup with her face that is still a little baby fat, and then put on a white dress and a pair of yellow canvas shoes, and then use a light yellow coat to match, just let her childish cuteness play to the fullest. Fortunately, this small southeast town will not be cold in January, so Wang Minyao can dress up so cutely and go out.

"Hee-hee~" Wang Minyao couldn't help laughing, after all, she was going to meet her friends who had been struggling together for three years soon, and she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.

"Hee-hee~" A crisp children's voice attracted Wang Minyao's attention. She followed the voice and saw a little boy smiling at her in the shade of a tree next to the shop.

"Kid, do you live near here?" Wang Minyao smiled sweetly at the little boy. Although Wang Minyao seems to be intellectually cold and difficult to approach. However, after getting along for a long time, many people shouted that they were fooled. After all, this person who often pulls a poker face is essentially a silly white sweet person who is loved by everyone.

The little boy smiled and shook his head.

"What about your family? Are you waiting for them here? Wang Minyao gently walked up to the boy and asked softly at him.

The little boy shook his head with a smile.

"Are they nearby, then?"

The little boy smiled and pointed to the side of the road not far away.

"Did the family ask you to wait on the side of the road?" Wang Minyao glanced at her phone and found that her friend was still some distance away from her. Although she doesn't live nearby, she remembers that the road not far away has a lot of traffic, and there is a construction site nearby, which has been under construction for a long time, and construction trucks often pass by here. So she decided to take the little boy to his family first, and then meet up with his friends. "Children, there are a lot of cars on the road, it's very dangerous, why don't my sister take you over there?" Wang Minyao grinned, showing an innocent and cute smile like a boy.

The little boy nodded, smiling brighter at her in return.

"Okay, then let's go~" Just as Wang Minyao was about to take the boy's hand and take him to his family, the outstretched right hand was gently caught.

"Little sister, what are you doing?" A voice sounded behind Wang Minyao that she had never heard before, and she was frightened and immediately looked back to find an unfamiliar face squinting at her with a smile on her face.

"Big brother, I'm really sorry, I don't feel very relieved to see your child waiting for you under this tree, so I'm going to take him to you."

"Kid?" Guo Ziyu's expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly returned to the harmless smiling face of the human and animal. "Little sister, do you think I'm a person with children?"

"Like~" Wang Minyao's silly and sweet nature was instantly exposed, causing Guo Ziyu's expression to stiffen again, and Guo Ziyu, who didn't know what to say, had to look at Wang Minyao with an embarrassed face.

"No, no, big brother, I don't mean that you are old, I just think that you should look like a man who has already started a family and a business." A few seconds later, Wang Minyao, who found that he had said the wrong thing, blushed and explained to Guo Ziyu in a panic.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Guo Ziyu didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic. He reached out and touched the little boy's head, and the smile that had been hanging on his face faded. After a few seconds, Guo Ziyu turned to Wang Minyao and said, "Do you have other things to do?" In this way, I will help this child~" Although Guo Ziyu said a questioning sentence, he didn't wait for Wang Minyao's reply, so he directly picked up the boy, as if he didn't want Wang Minyao to continue to interfere.

"Big brother, do you know this child's family?" After witnessing Guo Ziyu's abnormal performance, Wang Minyao began to doubt the identity of the stranger in front of him.

"Look, isn't this kid not resisting?" The boy was coquettish in Guo Ziyu's arms, not showing the slightest resistance. But in the face of this normal picture that seems to be a child seeing an acquaintance, Wang Minyao still has an indescribable weirdness in his heart.

"Okay, little sister, don't worry about it so much, go and get busy with your business~ I'll leave the rest to me~" After Guo Ziyu said this, he didn't pay attention to Wang Minyao anymore, and walked directly to the road with the child in his arms.

"Hey! Big brother, you wait! A strong sense of responsibility and justice prompted Wang Minyao to chase after him without hesitation, and she followed closely behind the young man who smelled of medicinal wine all over her body, paying close attention to his every move.

"I'm not in a hurry, it's still important to help the child find his family." To be honest, Wang Minyao didn't believe Guo Ziyu. But because he was really unable to take the boy back from Guo Ziyu's arms, he had to choose the safest and most safe way to ensure the safety of the child.

"Whatever you want~ But I think you'll regret it." Guo Ziyu grinned again, quite meaningful.

The two of them, each with their own thoughts, came to the side of the road that the boy pointed to, and Wang Minyao carefully observed the road conditions, and the traffic on the road was endless, and none of them stopped on the side of the road.

"Big brother, why don't you go to the neighborhood and look for the child's family? I'm here with him. Wang Minyao tried every means to get the child back from Guo Ziyu, and she didn't dare to relax her vigilance against Guo Ziyu, because she was afraid that her negligence would ruin the child's life.

"No need to look for it, it's already here." Guo Ziyu turned his head to look at Wang Minyao, and then, an unusual dark green light full of danger appeared on the road that was still full of traffic.

"Danger!" Wang Minyao pounced on the little boy for the first time, she didn't know what would happen next, but she hoped to use her strength to protect this lovely child. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened to Wang Minyao. She was ready to hold the child's hands tightly, and passed through the child's body without any hindrance.

"Ahhhh Wang Minyao was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he screamed. However, what shocked her even more was a few seconds later. The sudden dark green light full of danger slowly faded on the side of the road, and when the light disappeared, a flattened car appeared in front of Wang Minyao. Although the car had been smashed to pieces, the twin flashing lights on the car were still working normally, and the twin flashing lights flashed one after another, as if waiting for someone. The cars on the road passed through this unusual car, but there was no collision, as if passing through a virtual shadow, and the pedestrians on the road did not stop to watch because of this fantastical scene. Now Wang Minyao is beginning to understand what Guo Ziyu means by "regret".

"Brother, I brought it to you, child. Now your father and son can finally be reunited. Guo Ziyu handed the boy in his arms to the side of the car, and a pair of bloody hands stretched out from the car to take the child.

"Thank you, brother." The car sounded a voice full of mixed feelings, which was full of gratitude and endless pain.

"Daddy, Daddy." The child, who had been silent, happily called into the car. He waved his little hands, eager to return to his father as soon as possible.

"Brother, your father and son will wait in the world for a while. But I promise you that I will not let those who owe the debt of life go unpunished, and I will definitely give justice to your father and son. ”

"Thank you, thank you so much." The shattered sedan and the smiling child disappeared in front of them along with this thank-you. Although Wang Minyao still didn't want to believe everything that was happening in front of her, in the face of the facts, she didn't do much resistance to accept the fact that "there are ghosts in this world". Wang Minyao, who had always been calm, immediately suppressed the fear in her heart, she adjusted her thoughts, sorted out what happened, and soon understood what was going on.

"How? Regret it, right? After seeing Wang Minyao's frowning brows relax slightly, Guo Ziyu looked at Wang Minyao with a hippie smile again.

"No regrets. But I have a few questions for you, big brother. Can it not? Wang Minyao's eyes were extremely firm, which made Guo Ziyu couldn't help but feel shocked by the seemingly weak girl in front of him.

"Excuse me." Guo Ziyu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, as if he was using a search engine to look up something.

"Why did I meet this father and son? Could it be that I have psychic skills? Wang Minyao brought out the word "psychic" that she learned from the TV series to explain the strange phenomenon that she can see ghosts and gods.

"I guess you don't have what it takes. After all, you can only see the father and son. Guo Ziyu smiled, "But you can meet this father and son, most likely because they think you have a pure character and can help their father and son reunite." After Wang Minyao heard the stranger in front of her compliment her, the roots of her ears gradually turned red. Ahem~" She coughed dryly twice to keep her thoughts clear.

"What happened here?"

"On June 13 of this year, there was a serious traffic accident here, which killed two people. The driver of the car, Chen, died on the spot, and the child in the car was rescued soon after he was rescued because of his injuries. Guo Ziyu read the press release into his mobile phone, "According to the police investigation, this is a traffic accident caused by the improper operation of the construction truck driver in the rain." ”

"However," Wang Minyao answered.

"That's right, it's because there's yet... That's why you and I met this father and son. Guo Ziyu smiled at Wang Minyao, and his good impression of this girl in his heart increased a little.

"Why are you sure it's not a traffic accident, big brother?"

"Because the undead don't lie." Guo Ziyu's tone of voice suddenly became heavy, and Wang Minyao also saw his serious appearance for the first time.

"Big brother, who the hell are you?" Wang Minyao clearly knew that this question should not be asked, but her uncontrollable curiosity still made her turn her doubts into words and convey them to Guo Ziyu.

"Me?" Guo Ziyu smiled at her and did not answer the question immediately. He took out the bundle of incense he had just bought from his backpack and lit it on the side of the road, and after bowing three times to the place where the Chen father and son disappeared, he slowly said the answer Wang Minyao wanted to hear: "My name is Guo Ziyu, and I am a writer who goes out to collect materials and makes a living by writing novels. ”
