Chapter 20: The Home of the Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper looked at him carefully, and after a moment he spoke, "It's incredible that your soul can withstand the power of a double contract. ”

"Remember the agreement we made?" Death asked.

"Yes. ”

Qiu Cheng nodded, in order to save Zi Xia, he promised to do one thing for the god of death.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, look for me by the wild goose lake. "Death said.

"Good. ”

"Your friend is here, I'll go first. ”

The Grim Reaper floated away alone, passing by the oncoming Mu Wan'er.

"Who were you talking to just now?" asked Mu Wan'er.

"A friend. Qiu Cheng replied.

"Friend?" Mu Wan'er looked around, "Where is anyone?"

The corridors of the hospital late at night are quiet and not seen by a single person.

"Just left. ”

Mu Wan'er rolled her eyes, there was not even a ghost shadow, there was no one anywhere.

Qiu Cheng had many secrets, and Mu Wan'er believed that she would one day dig them all out.

The two left the hospital side by side, Qiu Cheng saw Mu Wan'er's eyes were red, obviously she had cried when she went to the bathroom just now, and Qiu Cheng didn't know how to comfort her.

"Where is your home, I'll take you home. Qiu Cheng said.

"It's not far from here, we can walk it. Mu Wan'er said.

It was already more than two o'clock in the morning, and there were few pedestrians in sight on the road, and occasionally cars drove by, and the white light from the street lamps stretched the shadows of the two for a long time.

"When I was nine years old, my mom died. Mu Wan'er suddenly whispered, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was telling Qiu Cheng.

"The year after my mother died, my dad brought back a woman and a seven-year-old boy, and it was then that I learned that my dad had other people besides mom and me. As she spoke, a wry smile appeared on Mu Wan'er's face.

"Later, I found out that I couldn't fit into the family at all, I was more like an outsider, and they were like a family, watching TV and shopping together every day, and my father gave me every meticulous care for my brother who suddenly appeared, which I didn't even have. ”

Qiu Cheng is finally relieved now, this is probably the reason why Mu Wan'er is still so rebellious, she has lacked maternal love and father's love since she was a child.

"I started living on campus when I was in junior high school until I was in college, and I was able to go home about once a year, and every time I was at home, it felt like I was staying in a hotel. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Wan'er laughed herself: "I'm weird, right?"

Qiu Cheng shook his head: "I'm not qualified to judge you anything, because I am also a weird person in the eyes of the people around me." ”

"My parents died in a car accident two years ago, leaving me with an inheritance so that I would not starve to death. Qiu Cheng said, "Since then, my personality has become withdrawn, I don't like to talk to anyone, I don't like to go out, and I lock myself in the house alone every day." ”

"It wasn't until I received my acceptance letter from the university that I was able to step out of the shadow of my parents' death and start a new life. ”

"It seems that we are all miserable children. Mu Wan'er put her arm on Qiu Cheng's shoulder, "In the future, our sister and brother will depend on each other, come and call my sister to listen." ”

Qiu Cheng rolled his eyes, too lazy to take care of her.

"By the way, where do you go to school?" asked Mu Wan'er.

"Magic Capital Foreign Chinese. Qiu Cheng replied.

"Nice school. Mu Wan'er smiled and said, "In the future, my sister will cover you." ”

......

The next morning, Qiu Cheng did not have classes, and according to the agreement, he arrived at Yanhu at nine o'clock.

Yan Lake is still far from the outskirts of the magic capital, surrounded by continuous mountains, and the lake is surrounded by mountains, like a square bowl.

Every autumn, a large number of migrating geese will land in the lake to rest, hence the name of the lake.

Qiu Cheng didn't come at the right time now, and he couldn't see anything on the lake except for a few big birds that flew down to drink.

Qiu Cheng was standing on the shore, and suddenly, a black head emerged from the water in front of him, startling him.

"Brother Death, can you not always appear suddenly, it's scary!" Qiu Cheng said.

"Scary? You've even seen demons, what's so scary?" said Death.

"Can that be the same?" Qiu Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want me to do for you?"

"My family's business. "Death said.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with hellish matters, after all, I'm just a little Covenant Spirit. Qiu Cheng shook his head.

"I don't live in hell, I live in the crevices of earth and hell. "We are very special in our status, although we are gods in name, but in the eyes of you mortals we are no different from demons. ”

"We can't enter the Divine Court, and Hell doesn't welcome us, so we can only live in the crevices. The main thing is that we have a special constitution, and after entering hell, we will be eroded by the dark matter inside. ”

"I learned it when I was in middle school!" Qiu Cheng said suddenly.

"What you humans call dark matter and the dark matter in hell are two different things, the dark matter in hell is the basis of the existence of hell, and at the same time it is necessary for the survival of demons, it is everywhere, just like the air of the earth. Death explained.

"Won't that dark matter affect me?" asked Qiu Cheng.

"No, it won't. "You have made a pact with demons, your soul and body are no longer mortal, and dark matter will not affect you in any way. ”

Qiu Cheng nodded, so that in the future, he could rest assured and boldly go to Hell to pick the other side flowers.

"Where's your home? Let's go, I have class in the afternoon." Qiu Cheng said.

"It's in the lake, you jump in. Death replied.

"What?" Qiu Cheng was stunned for a moment.

The Grim Reaper put his home in the lake, so he must have found himself to help when his house was flooded, right?

"Alright, don't be stunned, jump down. Death urged.

Qiu Cheng took two steps back, and after a short run, he plunged headlong into the lake.

However, the imaginary splash did not happen, and a black whirlpool appeared on the surface of the lake, catching Qiu Cheng.

In the next second, Qiu Cheng was in a hazy darkness, but it was no big problem for him who could see at night, this should be the home of the Grim Reaper.

It's not a big place, about 30 square meters, and there is no furniture, just a table, a chair, and a black hook on the wall.

"This is where you live?" Qiu Cheng asked.

"That's right, I've laid it out by myself, how about it?"

Although he couldn't see the expression of death, Qiu Cheng could feel that this thing was very proud.

"Uh......" Qiu Cheng looked at the empty surroundings, "It's still ...... Pretty good. ”
