Tang Yuanyuan often feels that some of the statements in No. 4's mouth are really subtle, and sometimes she wonders if the other party is a domineering president who has passed through the soul of a vulgar romance novel.

Of course, Tang Yuanyuan has always been a very self-aware person who does not make random and gratuitous associations, and he knows in his heart that the other party's words are just that he still regards himself as his possession for now... And it's an item in the truest sense of the word.

But even if she was very unhappy about this, she didn't bother to care about this matter at this time, so she could only sigh a little sadly about how she had met such an unsympathetic trading partner, while rubbing her sore buttocks, and then stood up by herself.

It wasn't until she got up that she came back to her senses, and her eyes fell on the ghost figure that Number Four was holding in her hand, and she saw clearly the slender ghost figure that looked like a human shape and had a pale face.

The ghost, with a boyish face, so thin that it looked like it was about to fall away, struggled in Four's hands, as if he wanted to use his hand to remove the hand that had been holding him by the neck, but several attempts were to no avail.

Tang Yuanyuan frowned when he looked at the culprit in front of him who had let him fall to the ground, and looked at this unilateral abuse with a huge disparity in strength.

Why do you have to provoke someone who doesn't seem to be easy to deal with? Isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

After all, you look so weak that the wind seems to be about to dissipate... Tang Yuanyuan complained like this in his heart, completely without the consciousness that the farce in front of him was related to him.

She didn't care about this until the slender ghost, who looked like a teenager, spoke with a slightly distorted expression and said a word of begging for mercy in fits and starts.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know she was your food... I just instinctively felt the powerful spiritual power in her... I'm sorry...... It's been a long time since I've replenished my spiritual power... I didn't control my nature..."

The ghost shadow whose face was pale became more and more pale at this moment, and suddenly coughed violently in the middle of speaking:

"I... I just fled here... The area where we live is gone... Many of the ghosts and ghosts have lost their spirits... I finally got out of there... But it also consumes a lot of aura... It's just that you're losing your mind..."

"I'm just trying to steal a little bit of spiritual power from this girl to maintain her spirit... I didn't mean to take her to myself or hurt her... Her breath is special..."

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."

It turned out to be really coming at me... Tang Yuanyuan felt a little incredible.

Listening to the staccato words of the slender ghost, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but have some strange associations in her mind, because the state of the ghost in front of her and the appearance of the underworld were completely different from some of her past imaginations.

What does it mean to "flee"? What is the nature of needing to absorb the aura to maintain the spirit? Could it be that even in the underworld, those who are obviously ghosts and dead themselves need to absorb something regularly to maintain their existence?

And what is the matter with the special breath of himself in his mouth? With the cover of the special existence of Number Four, her identity as a living person should not be so easy to detect, so what kind of special is it in his mouth?

Questions like these popped up in Tang Yuanyuan's mind one after another, and she couldn't help but look at the ghost a few more times.

Although I don't know how true or false the words in the mouth of the ghost in front of me are, these words have indeed successfully aroused Tang Yuanyuan's thinking and interest.

But just as she was thinking about what to ask, the number four, who was pinching the ghost, spoke.

"I don't care about your story. Let's not talk about whether she is my food or not, you are tired of living if you covet my things, and the spirit dissipates to the point that even the soul of the soul who is vague will not live for long, I can directly give you a good time. ”

As he spoke, a chill covered his eyes, his hands tightened again, and the blue flames hanging behind him began to beat violently as if they were excited.

"No, don't...... I just want to live... I didn't make any big mistakes... Please..."

"It's just a dead soul, what do you want to live?"

Number Four sneered, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, ready to exert his strength again.

Tang Yuanyuan was slightly stunned when he looked at this scene, and he was entangled in his heart for a moment, and finally made a choice out of instinct.

"Let it go." Tang Yuanyuan raised his hand and put his hand on No. 4's arm, as if he wanted to stop him, shook his head and said, "Let him go." Didn't he succeed too? ”

Tang Yuanyuan's unexpected move successfully made the other party hesitate, and stopped his action of wanting to burn the ghost in front of him in the next second.

But he quickly came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Tang Yuanyuan, who had stopped him, and curled his lips and laughed a little sarcastically.

"Why? Tang Yuanyuan? Who do you think is the debtor now, and what do you say, do you have reason to listen to you? ”

Tang Yuanyuan was not surprised by No. 4's reaction, so he sighed deeply and raised his eyebrows, completely erasing the last bit of luck in his heart.

Although she knew very well in her heart that Number Four was protecting her now because she had not yet fulfilled the price, for some reason she still had a little bit in her heart, and he did not protect herself just because of the "unfulfilled price" wish.

After all, she saw the strange emotions he occasionally showed when facing her and the concern on some subtle occasions.

But now she knew very well that between them was gambling and trading chips.

But since it is gambling and trading, then there is no situation where one party can use chips to suppress the other forever.

Tang Yuanyuan's eyes flashed slightly, and his mind began to quickly think about the other party's various behaviors and decisions before, trying to find a way to hold the initiative in his own hands.

Inadvertently, she glanced down at the red rope in her hand, and the moment she saw the red rope with special significance, a bold guess suddenly took shape in her mind.

"Wait."

She suddenly let go and took a few steps back, pulling away from Number Four, reaching out and tugging at the red rope on her wrist, finding that it could be easily disassembled as expected.

Then she raised her eyes again, and after making sure she could immediately turn and run away from Four, she thought to him and spoke:

"If I don't let him go, I'll just tear the rope and run away. With my constitution, do you have to deal with a large group of evil spirits even if you find me? If I choose to bleed some more, too... Since there are so many ghosts and undead in the underworld, they must all be interested in me, right? ”

"Since your purpose is to need me to open the book of life and death... At least my consciousness and body should be intact, wouldn't I? If I die... Or maybe something is wrong with your body, and you must have to go to trouble finding someone like me again, right? What do you think... Let him go? ”

A look of surprise appeared in Four's eyes, and he spoke, "Are you threatening me?"

Tang Yuanyuan heard the chill in the other party's words, and suddenly regretted her impulsiveness in her heart, but she had to send it on the string, so she could only respond hard: "Yes." ”

The air was silent for a long moment, and then Tang Yuanyuan heard the dull sound of the guy caught in No. 4's hand falling to the ground.

"The threat is established." He clapped his hands, there was no dissatisfaction on his face, "I didn't think you could be so bold as to risk your own life, even if you win, I don't want to cause more trouble for myself." ”

It's really just gambling... Tang Yuanyuan whispered so softly in his heart, relieved.

“…… Compliment me. She let go of her grip on the red rope as she said that, but she still kept her distance from him, and she looked at Number Four and was silent for a while, then her eyes swept down the red rope called Yuan, and suddenly she asked again:

"We'll have nothing to do with it when I'm done paying for it, right?"

Obviously, her conjecture was completely confirmed, and she felt that it was not any better, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, no matter how strong your spiritual power is, it's not good for me to attack an old acquaintance, right? I'm still particular about this kindness. ”

He replied so firmly, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't hear any emotions from his words.

"I do offend the Heavenly Realm for some reason, so I can only ask you to do this. Even if you die, you'll have to pay the price, but that shouldn't be of much use to me, so ...... Before the price is completed, give me a good life, I will listen to you, and I will protect you, understand? ”

He stared at her eyes and then picked up the next words, although there was a cold reality in front of him, Tang Yuanyuan was a little relieved because of this answer.

At present, No. 4 is still trustworthy, so as long as she completes his entrustment, she will no longer have to worry about her life, which is indeed the best ending in the current situation.

Although for some reason such an ending always makes her a little unhappy...

Tang Yuanyuan shook his head lightly when he thought of this, put aside the somewhat unhappy emotions in his heart, and forced himself to shift his attention to the ghost who fell to the ground.

The ghost with the appearance of a teenager seemed to be really dying, and even in the face of such a hard-won opportunity, he did not have the strength to flee immediately, and the already somewhat translucent body was prostrate on the ground and was waving and gasping in a somewhat strange rhythm.

Tang Yuanyuan looked at the young ghost and took a deep breath, then looked at No. 4 and then at him who fell to the ground, and then stepped closer to the dying soul.

It wasn't until she stopped at the boy's side, making sure that Number Four had kept a distance and didn't go back on her word, that she crouched down and lowered her eyes to ask the boy:

"Is there any way to provide you with a little spiritual power?"

As soon as she said this, there was a look of surprise on the faces of the fourth and the young man, as if they thought that her actions were a bit unbelievable.

"Tang Yuanyuan, you...."

No. 4 was the first to react and wanted to stop it, but before she could say anything, she was suddenly interrupted by Tang Yuanyuan, her eyes still fell on the young man, and then said:

"It's a deal, I'll give you a little spiritual power to sustain your remnant soul and make sure you survive, but you'll have to answer me a few questions, what do you think?"

The young man listened to Tang Yuanyuan's words and looked at her face in a daze, as if he couldn't digest the information she gave for a while, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that he suddenly came back to his senses, nodded frequently, and said:

"I... I do! All it takes is a little spiritual power... Whatever you ask, I'll answer you truthfully! ”

"As long as you want to, it's actually very easy to get spiritual power, as long as you reach out your hand..."

Tang Yuanyuan also nodded when he heard this, and then without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and stopped in front of the young man.

The frail young ghost had a grateful look on his face, and soon reached out his hand close to the palm of her hand, and the young man's hand finally stopped not far from hers, as if he was afraid that something had not fully touched her.

However, it seemed that this was enough, and after a short pause, Tang Yuanyuan quickly felt a very subtle flow of aura from her fingertips, which was somewhat similar to the last time No. 4 drove her spiritual power to purify her soul.

I seem to understand a little bit of what spiritual power is...

Tang Yuanyuan was comparing and feeling in his heart, and at the same time thinking about how to use such power.

This is also one of the reasons why she is willing to give part of her spiritual power, in such a completely unfamiliar ring mirror, she does not know when there will be a sudden accident, she must try to increase the chips she can use as much as possible, otherwise once she encounters any accidents, she can only be a lamb to the slaughter.

However, it didn't seem to be easy to master the use of spiritual power easily, she had just felt a little bit in such a spiritual power transmission, and this spiritual power transmission had already been interrupted.

Then the ghost of the young man, who was no longer so transparent, moved his body from the ground, and finally changed his posture and knelt in front of Tang Yuanyuan, and said in a choked voice:

"Thank you... Thank you so much for saving me... I will always remember your kindness..."

"Whatever you want to ask, just ask, I'll tell you anything I know!"

Tang Yuanyuan was taken aback by such a big gift in front of him, and quickly stopped and said, "Eh... You should raise your head first, you don't have to be so reserved...? ”

The young man looked up when he heard the voice, but he still knelt in front of her and waited for her, and there was still a little excitement on his haggard face, and he looked at her and nodded vigorously.

Tang Yuanyuan was really not used to this kind of treatment, but she also knew that No. 4's patience would not advance her too much to waste time, so she didn't say anything more, but coughed lightly twice, and asked:

"So the first question... Do you know what is so special about the guardians of the Book of Life and Death in the underworld? ”
