The wooden house is closed.

The hook knocked on the door, and before it could fall, the door opened.

The door was empty.

Only the dark, oblique corridor, like the throat of a giant beast, was waiting for Gu Bai and them to enter.

The hook looked back at Gu Bai.

"You're up front. Gu Bai bowed his head and let the hook explore the way in front.

Hook rolled his eyes, "Are you a man?"

"I'm your master!" Gu Bai said righteously.

The hook cannot be refuted, and can only lead the way in front.

The corridor was empty, and the footsteps on it were very harsh, and at every distance, there was a small window, which shone in a faint light.

"Anyone?" called the hook.

They walked some distance and saw no one come out, and no room was found.

They glanced at each other, and the hook was about to shout again.

Squeak.

The end of the corridor opened, and several dwarfs appeared, opened the door, and without looking at the two of them, stood on either side of the door.

Gu Bai pressed the hook to speak, untied the white cloth on his left hand, and walked towards the open door.

It's a big hall.

The inside was full of clouds and mist, and it was full of the smell of burning incense.

In the middle of the main hall, there is a large copper basin, in which paper money for the dead is burning.

On the opposite side of the basin, there was a couch, where a gorgeously dressed woman like a shroud sits.

"Excuse me, where is the Lethe monk?" Gu Bai asked.

The woman on the couch raised her head, her eyes sharp, through the smoke, and fell on Gu Bai's body.

"I am. The woman said.

Her voice was crisp, which made Gu Bai stunned.

In the mist, he couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but this voice was inevitably too young.

In addition, this admission was too direct, so that Gu Bai didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, Gu Bai introduced himself, "Under Gu Bai, there is the shopkeeper of the Demon Qi Library." ”

"I know. ”

The woman said lazily, and there was a softness in her tone that belonged to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"You know?" Gu Bai straightened up, "In that case, we have to talk about it." ”

He took a few steps forward, walked around the copper basin, and faced the woman directly, "Why did you send someone to my library to steal something?"

The woman raised her head, with a smile between her eyebrows, and appeared in front of the two of them with the appearance of a country and a city.

"Wow, that's beautiful. Hook couldn't help but say.

Gu Bai rolled his eyes, "When did you become blind?"

Where is this woman good-looking, although she is a little more beautiful than ordinary people, but in front of Gu Bai, using the neutral word good-looking, it is disrespectful to him.

The hook sticks out his tongue and stops talking.

The woman glanced at Gu Bai and chuckled: "No why, if you want to steal, you can steal." ”

"You..."

Gu Bai really didn't know what to say.

"You, aren't you afraid that I will report to the official?" Gu Bai said.

"Go ahead, but I didn't steal it. "Women have nothing to fear.

Looking at the smile on her face, she was not weak at all.

Gu Bai arched his hand, "A little girl who looks very beautiful, how can she be thick-skinned, admire, admire." ”

"Haha, hahaha. ”

The woman smiled.

She reached for a cup of tea, sniffed it, and put it down.

"Girl, when it comes to age, your grandmother has to be my junior. She laughed and trembled.

"Then you're disrespectful to the old. Gu Bai was unceremonious.

The woman waved her hand, "Okay, and you haven't succeeded, you can't be guilty of being so guilty." ”

Gu Bai thought about it, and it was right.

Besides, he didn't come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, but to inquire about the news.

"Ahem, at the same time, I will forgive you for your thief behavior. I'm here to ask you for some news. ”

"Who killed the Gu family?" the woman blurted out disappretently.

Gu Bai was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The woman shook her head, "I don't know the answer, but you should understand, at least not mine." ”

This Gu Bai believed that if she sent someone to do it, what she was looking for should have arrived early.

"Who did that?" he asked.

The woman shook her head again, "I don't know, many people are staring at that thing, and whoever kills your family because of this is possible." ”

If she knew who killed the Gu family, she would have found someone to steal that person.

"Well, then I want to know, what is that thing you're looking for?"

Gu Bai looked straight at the girl, "You should know this, right?"

The girl nodded.

"I can tell you..."

The girl stared at Gu Bai with interest, "But you must know that if you want to ask me for help, you have to pay a price." ”

"Lifespan?" Gu Bai asked, "Can you change something?"

It's really not good, he disgusts himself, and it's okay to make a promise with his body, but the life span is counted.

If he gave her lifespan, even if Gu Bai knew who the murderer was, he would not be able to take revenge.

The girl played with her fingers.

Her fingers were long, and her nails were painted with something that shimmered with an eerie glow.

"Coincidentally. She looked at Gu Bai, "You are an exception, what I want is really not your lifespan." ”

"Mine doesn't work either. The hook hurriedly spoke.

The girl glanced at the hook and lost her temper slightly, "Ahem, I won't charge you for your life." ”

Gu Bai took a step back, wouldn't he really ask him to make a promise?

"What kind of expression do you have?" the girl frowned, not knowing that she thought she was lustful and wanted to spoil him.

Although this Gu Gongzi is indeed handsome.

Gu Bai hurriedly took off his expression, and said as if he were dead: "You, come on." ”

The girl rolled her eyes.

"Don't be sentimental, you stinky skin, it's worthless. ”

She leaned forward and stared into Gu Bai's eyes, "What I want is your soul." ”

"Soul?" Gu Bai was stunned.

How is it that so many people, including Narcissus, love his soul?

"Of course, don't worry, it's not now, but after you die, someone will take it. The girl said.

Gu Bai looked at her and asked curiously, "What do you want my soul to do?"

The girl shook her head.

"It is not me who wants your soul, but someone else. ”

The girl stood up and walked over to Gu Bai.

As she approached, a unique, refreshing fragrance entered Gu Bai's nose.

Gu Bai liked it very much.

"You must know that the soul of a man who has been captivating the country and the city for a long time is like everyone's calligraphy and paintings, and there are many people below who are willing to collect it. She circled around Gu Bai for a week, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, "How about it, do this deal or not?"

Since he had already given Narcissus once, Gu Bai didn't mind giving it to someone else again.

"Do!"

"Refreshing!"

The girl took out a piece of yellow paper from the side of the copper basin, took the pen and wrote on it.

After a while, she handed it to Gu Bai, "The contract is written." ”

Gu Bai took it, "This..."

"Sign, draw. The girl said.

Gu Bai did what he said.

When the girl was done, she took the yellow paper and lit it directly in the copper basin.

It's strange to say.

After the yellow paper was reduced to ashes in the basin, it floated up gently, and it was still a complete sheet, and the handwriting on it was faintly visible.

Wow!

When the paper ash was blown by the wind, it disappeared in an instant, like light disappearing in the air.

"Alright. Gu Bai retracted his gaze, "Now you can tell me." ”

The girl sat down on the soft floor and patted the seat next to her, "Come, sit and talk." ”

Gu Bai was not polite at all, and sat down directly.
