Chapter 16: Burning

After Ye Yuning brought the tea, she turned around and left, and at about nine o'clock, she walked to the singing room with a tired face. Seeing Fan Li fiddling with her musical score, she snatched it and threw it on the piano.

"It's just practice." She smiled unnaturally. "You must not have eaten." She opened the door and a waitress pushed a food cart with steaks and pasta on top, as well as a variety of sauces.

"I've eaten steamed rice for more than 20 years, and I'm really not used to Western food." Fan picked up a knife and fork and cut a small piece of steak into his mouth, as he did in the movie.

"Hmm!" He let out a burst of exclamation, he had thought that this black-looking steak had no trace of water, and it would be dry if you bite into it, but it turned out to be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and if you bite it, oil and water will overflow. He picked up the sauce on one side, tasted them one by one, and stepped back to sprinkle a bottle of red sauce on top of the steak.

Seeing that Fan Li was eating deliciously, Ye Yuning smiled and sat down in front of him, picked up the guitar and sang, Fan Li hadn't heard the ballad, just at Ye Yuning's voice, he felt that this song was really well written. Fifteen minutes later, he took the cloth from the waiter with satisfaction, wiped his mouth, and threw out a sentence.

"Pay!"

"No need, I'll ask you this time." Ye Yuning waved his hand, and the waiter pushed the dining cart away.

"Did you say that God created you to be eccentric, beautiful, with such a good singing voice, and able to make such delicious food, the most important thing is that your heart and eyes are really good."

"Haha!" Ye Yu let out a hearty laugh after hearing this, and then shook his head. "I've also experienced some painful things, whether God is partial or not, how can you, a young man who just met me, know."

That night, Fan Li told her how he liked Ye Yuning's songs, and then the two of them held the guitar and sang at the same time. When he walked out of the Crescent Moon Hotel, it was past midnight, and Fan Li felt that he had not been so relaxed for a long time, and he had not laughed so unscrupulously for a long time. He felt that Ye Yuning brought him the beauty of life, slow tone, relaxed and happy, he could temporarily forget all troubles, think about the direction of life, and find the true meaning of life.

Before his eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, his grandfather told him that the true meaning of the soul thief is dedication, because you are about to go to an extremely evil world, and the purpose of this trip is to benefit people, hoping to reduce the bad luck in the world through your own efforts. It's a pity that with the impact of soul thieves and tomb robbers, many spirit thieves who can't hold back their greed will reveal their evil nature, and the number of people who can control and listen to the voice of the spirit will gradually decrease, and finally disappear.

Tonight, Fan Li learned that Ye Yuning's Crescent Moon Hotel only has ten seats, which is to ensure that she can make every dish for the guests between six and eight and a half, and ensure the quality of each dish. She also doesn't allow leftovers, even if you have money, you must follow the rules of the restaurant, and the amount of food for each person is tailored by her observation of this person, no more, no less. Fan Li thought about the pure land in the heart of this extraordinary singer, and began to laugh at why he agreed to go with Brother Jiu for the secret that should have been buried in the secluded capital forever, but he encountered a series of troubles, ruined his future, and also affected his friends.

Unconsciously, Fan Li's has been walking around the streets of the lost city for a long time, he felt that the time was not early, so he took a shortcut, plunged into the small alley next to him, walked for about ten minutes, the dim lights in front of him began to flicker frequently, and he saw three people coming out of the Internet café in the alley, squatting at the door of the Internet café smoking cigarettes. When he got closer, he found that the three men were thin, only fifteen or sixteen years old, with hooligan gun heads and a box of inferior cigarettes.

I don't know if Fan Li really glared at them when he passed by, or if they were very angry because they didn't play the game well or didn't have money, and deliberately found fault, when Fan Li passed by them, one of them suddenly got up and threw the cigarette butt that was not burned out in his mouth at Fan Li's back.

"What are you looking at!" The man shouted at the top of his voice, and his voice could be felt throughout the alley. His voice was nothing more than a boost of courage to the fox friend next to him, and the other two also stood up and threw the cigarette butt to the ground, and one of them stepped forward and pushed Fan Li.

"What are you looking at!"

"I ...... Didn't see anything. Fan Lifu raised his hands to show that he had no malice, it was really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, if it weren't for his own conditions, he would have stomped on these wilted onions and rotten garlic.

"Do you look down on us, what? Look at your scholarly style, what, what are you going to learn! The little bastard who took the lead pushed hard at Fan Li, and the force was really not small, Fan Li took two steps back and almost pushed him down.

"No, no." Fan Li said with a smile. "I'm just passing by."

"Who laughed with you, little, I'm not going well today, if you have money, take it out, and I'll let you go!"

Fan Li's figure it out this time, the purpose of these three rotten garlic is this, they have been doing it for a long time because they have no money on the Internet, so they want to come up and grab it, and it just so happens that they shaved their beards clean today, making them think that they are still school students. Fan Li put his hand in his pocket, pretending to find money for them, while taking the opportunity to look the three stunned young people up and down, by the ghostly light on the side of the road, he saw that the faces of these three people still retained the childishness of teenagers, but the height was not low, how could the leader be 1.75 meters, and the others were also about 1.72 meters. If you talk about the size, of course, Fan Lifu has the upper hand, but the number is not very optimistic, one person is difficult to defeat four hands, and the fight will attract the police, so you can only take the opportunity to escape.

"Damn, hurry up!" The leading gangster pushed Fan Li's shoulder again, and Fan Lifu took the opportunity to pull like this, but the little gangster was unstable and was directly pulled to the ground by Fan Li. The other two were slightly stunned at first when they saw their boss being dragged down.

"Damn, hit!" Seeing Fan Li's head turn and run, the thug who fell to the ground shouted at the two partners.

The speed of the two people running was extremely fast, plus Fan Li and Ye Yuning had been playing with musical instruments all night, they had long been tired, and after running less than twenty meters, Fan Li was surrounded by them. One of them jumped up and grabbed Fan Li's left arm, Fan Li's force dragged him away, the other hugged him from behind, he wanted to grab the man's arm, an over-the-shoulder fall threw him out, but he didn't expect a sudden gust of bad wind in front of him, he looked up and saw a black shadow rising into the air, rushing in front of him, and kicking him in the chest.

"Oops!" Fan Li let out a miserable scream. This power was so outrageous that the little brother behind him didn't have time to dodge, and was kicked to the ground with Fan Li.

", I'm so angry, Lao Tzu is the boss of the fourth middle school, you little rabbit cub doesn't pee and take pictures, dare to calculate Lao Tzu!" The stunned green man was a violent temper, and he happened to be standing in the light at this position, and Fan Li saw his green muscles bursting out, and felt that something was abnormal. No, even if he is a robber, he will not be angry like this, it feels like he has seen the enemy of his father and must kill himself.

"Okay, okay, for you." Fan Li took out a hundred yuan and stretched it out to him. "Give you the money, let me go."

The man stared at the money in Fan Li's hand, and his head suddenly tilted a few times, as if some kind of bearing was installed on his neck, and he twisted and trembled at regular intervals. He didn't speak, nor did he scold the street, but stared at the hundred yuan, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fist-clenched hands trembled incessantly, as if he hated Fan Li.

Two of his companions also gave him strange looks, and one of them walked up to him and shook him.

"Forget it, let this kid go, take the money, and we'll continue to drive black!"

The man reluctantly agreed, maintained this posture and nodded, and then reached out to catch the hundred yuan handed over by Fan Li, and when his finger touched the money, the money actually burned by itself, so frightened that Fan Li immediately let go of his hand.

The man let out a sudden hiss, and the sound was unusually terrifying, not like a human being, but like the sound of an exploding gas canister rubbing against the floor. This sound frightened the two companions around him into taking a few steps back. He suddenly pounced on Fan Li, this time Fan Li's hand reached out to the ground, and he dodged the attack with a backflip, the man pounced in the air, lost his balance and fell to the floor, angrily slammed his fist at the floor twice, as if to vent the anger in his heart, but amazingly, the floor actually smashed two big holes for him.

"Second fierce son?" His partner tried to pull him back, but he didn't expect his hand to retract as if he had been electrocuted as soon as he touched this guy.

"This guy's body is so hot, like he has been scalded by boiling water!" The thug turned to Fan Li.

"Get out of here, this guy is dangerous!" Fan Lixi shouted at the two of them. At this time, the second fierce man slowly stood up, Fan Li saw that his face was constantly twitching, as if repulsing the pain in his heart, looking down, his whole body was trembling, as if he was choked by someone's anger. Fan Li immediately understood something, could this guy have given someone else's soul a body?

Fan Li's grandfather once heard the story of the upper body of the soul, and his ancestor also encountered such a thing when he was stealing spirits, but this kind of thing generally only happens in the tombs, and those evil spirits have accumulated too much resentment, so that they are not willing to dissipate like this, so they use the body of a living person to attack the spirit thief. But at this moment, it is in the city, and there is no tomb around that can provide evil spirits, how can it be taken up.

Just thinking about it, the second fierce man roared again, this time he swung his fist directly at Fan Li, Fan Li bent down and flashed the attack, his fist hit the wall behind Fan Li, and there was not only a fist-sized depression on the wall, but also some charred black substance. Fan Lizi didn't have time to study what those scorched black substances were, Er Mengzi turned around and hit his face according to the air in front of him, frightening Fan Li's back, Ermengzi's attack was completely like meeting an enemy on the battlefield, with an attitude that if you don't die, I will die, Fan Lizi tried to block Er Mengzi's fist with his arm, but he didn't expect it to be the same as what the gangster said just now, Er Mengzi's body was as hot as the bottom of a pot.

Thinking of the two thugs, they must be in danger here, he took a gap and turned his head, and found that the two were standing on the side, staring at this side with frightened eyes.

"Oh, let's go! What are you doing in a daze! Fan Li's attack dodged the attack of the two fierce sons again, and shouted towards them. When the two thugs heard this, they immediately turned around and were about to run, but one of them gave up on his feet and fell to the hard floor, letting out a scream. This scream attracted the attention of the second fierce son, he suddenly changed his attack, a feint attack forced Fan Li, turned around and pounced on the thug who fell, the thug still wanted to resist, raised his foot to the crotch of the second fierce son is a kick, but the second fierce man was extremely fast, grabbed his heel in advance, pinched hard, and he screamed and almost fainted. However, the second fierce son did not give up, he grabbed the man's neck with both hands and picked him up, and wisps of green smoke came out of the man's neck, and then something happened that made Fan Li, a spirit thief, feel unbelievable - the child burned in the hands of the second fierce son.
