Chapter 39: The Bottom

Zhang Shaomao didn't make a sound, but the other party seemed to be staring at him all the time, Zhang Shaomao just opened his eyes and regained consciousness, and the other party spoke.

"Awake?"

Zhang Shaojiao thought that he was talking to others, but seeing that he was the only one around, he asked a question.

"Are you talking to me?"

The other party still didn't look back, but he laughed.

"You're really kind of funny, and certainly not sarcastic. I mean you're really ...... Well...... Interesting. There's no one around here right now, and I'm sure I'm talking to you. It looks like you're awake, by the way, who are you and how did you get here? ”

"Well, I ......" Zhang Shaojiao was about to tell his identity and purpose, but after thinking about it, he took the words back, and said perfunctorily, "I came here to do business, but I didn't expect to faint due to physical exhaustion!" By the way, what is it? ”

The woman still had her back to Zhang Shaojiao, supported the boat, let the boat want to move inside, and answered Zhang Shaojiao's question at the same time.

"This is the junction, just like the human world and the underworld are separated by the bridge and the Yellow Spring, this is also the boundary between the two worlds, but no one, including King Qin Guang, doesn't know where and where the boundary is, but they just know that this is the border, and this boundary is very ...... Well, dangerous. Just like in human society, boundaries are always the easiest place to be overlooked, and it is precisely because of this that borders are often the most mixed! ”

Zhang Shaojiao naturally understood this truth, but in order to cover it up, he nodded knowingly, he knew, so that she could see it. Sure enough, the other party also nodded knowingly. Although she didn't turn around, Zhang Shaoyuan felt his smile. Zhang Shaojiao, whose physical strength has recovered, half-propped herself up with her hands, obliquely trying to see the other party's face clearly, but no matter how she moved, she could only see half of her face at most, but she could see that her face was very delicate, and she was a little familiar, but who it was, Zhang Shaorong couldn't remember it anyway. No one spoke for a long time, and the air seemed to be filled with an awkward atmosphere, which made Zhang Shaojiao twist, you know, although he does not practice tyranny in the company, no one dares to make the atmosphere so embarrassing, but the other party is a lady, and he can't say anything, he can only search for what topic in his head to relieve the embarrassment, and in the end, Zhang Shaomao can only pretend to be very serious and ask.

"By the way, since this is the border, why are you still here?"

The woman smiled again, but she still didn't look back, as if she was deliberately hiding Zhang Shaojiao with a straight face, but this kind of hiding was not revealed, so that Zhang Shaojiao didn't notice it at all.

"Is there anything impossible, isn't your identity in the human world also unusual? Actually, I'm not an ordinary person, but I don't know why I'm here! ”

"Oh, well, how long have you been living here, and you're the only one?"

After all, it is a human being, and Zhang Shaojiao is still accustomed to calling people who are not harmful to him, whether they are human beings or ghosts, or whether they are not human or ghosts. The woman was still as calm as water, and her answer was very indifferent.

"I don't know how long I've been here, but I know that I'm not the only one here, at least there are other ghosts here, but they have nothing to do with me, it's hard for them to hurt me, and I'm not interested in provoking them, although there are occasionally some trouble-making ghosts but they can always be solved safely, so I'm fairly stable here."

"You say...... How hard are they to hurt you? What do you mean, how are you really different from others? ”

Originally, Zhang Shaojiao just wanted to exchange a few words with the other party to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere, but he was aroused by the other party's interest.

"Me? I'm pretty much like you! ”

"So, do you know who I am?"

"How can you say that you know, and how can you say that you don't know! After all, I'm really just like you, ordinary and unusual. Okay, let's not talk about this for now, while you haven't fully recovered your strength and can't move, I'll tell you about this boundary. I don't know exactly where this boundary is, but this border world has almost the same physique as human society, not only are responsibilities clear, but there are even gangsters here, no, this is coming! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shaojiao was still looking around, but there was no one around except the other party, let alone any gangsters, but as soon as Zhang Shaojiao relaxed his vigilance, the boat began to rock. Moreover, not only is there no wind around, but even the water is as calm as a mirror.

This shaking is coming from the bottom of the boat!

Zhang Shaojiao lay on the side of the boat and looked into the water, but there was no impurities in the crystal clear water, let alone a human figure. He looked up at the woman sitting on the other side of the boat, still calm, as calm as the water around him. Zhang Shaomao seemed to have an understanding.

"You're talking about water ghosts. But why can't I see? ”

"Because it's a ghost, you should always know the visual black zone, but I can't see it!"

"Then how are you sure it's not the aquatic weeds at the bottom of the boat?"

The other party finally turned his head and stretched out a hand towards Zhang Shaomao, asking Zhang Shaomao to stretch out his hand as well. Zhang Shaojiao stretched out his hand, but the other party pierced his finger with a needle, and a drop of blood immediately emerged on the surface of the skin. The other party was also very fast, and flew directly to the surface of the water with a direct flick of the blood droplet, and at the same time motioned to Zhang Shaochang to look at the water.

Sure enough, there was something really wrong with the water! The droplet of blood did not spread in the water as normal, but simply a normal plumb sinker, which fell to the surface of the water at high speed, but disappeared immediately. Zhang Shaojiao immediately understood what was going on, as if he had forgotten the pain in his fingers, touched his chin with his hand, and even said a little proudly.

"It seems that my blood is the most popular regardless of my circumstances!"

The other party didn't speak, but stared at Zhang Shaojiao tightly, Zhang Shaomao's nerves were also half a beat slower at this time, and it took a long time to feel that someone was watching him. As soon as Zhang Shaochang raised his head, he thought that the other party would look away, but he didn't expect to meet the unusually clear gaze that Zhang Shaochang would never forget, like a cloudless clear sky in summer, which made people feel refreshed.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Zhang Shaojiao's heart is because he hides too much helplessness and sadness, rarely looks at people, he is really afraid that his mistakes in which area will be noticed by others, and this time, Zhang Shaojiao did not dodge other people's eyes like in the past in the world, he seems to have fallen into the abyss, he has no room to escape at all, he can only keep sinking, sinking...... Until, falling to the bottom.

Finally, the other party looked away, but Zhang Shaojiao was completely shattered, and there was no room for resistance!
