Hei Wuchang
While they were talking, Sai Liaoer fell asleep again.
Jiang Luo didn't wake him up this time, he told the others to stop talking and quietly made his way back to his chair to continue fishing.
It was three hours before Sai Liaoer woke up again.
It was already dark, and the moon was on its branches. Sai Liaoer blinked slowly, his eyes dull. Seeing him wake up, Jiang Luo did not say anything, but put the fish in the bucket back into the lake, "Let's go, go eat."
Sai Liaoer finally got some energy, but after eating, his head went back to sleep, little by little, and he looked like he was going to fall asleep again.
Jiang Luo feels like he's having a nervous breakdown.
He couldn't help but wonder if any of the weirdness that was going on around him had anything to do with Chi You.
Thinking of Chi You, his eyelids fluttered, worrying that this was another trap Chi You had laid for him. Jiang Luo directly said, "Sai Liaoer is obviously not right, after he falls asleep tonight, we will guard his side and see what is going on."
The crowd did not dispute what he said, and that night Sai Liaoer lay in bed under a quilt while they played poker around the bed.
The little blonde curly wanted to play along with them, but within a few moments of laying down on the bed, he was huffing and puffing.
Nothing happened in the first half of the night, after two o'clock in the morning, the people who were still in good spirits, but one by one, they became sleepy. Jiang Luo's eyes were heavy, and the drowsiness came suddenly and violently.
He felt something wrong in his mind, Jiang Luo forced himself to resist this sudden drowsiness, he pinched himself hard and the pain brought him back to a point of clarity.
At that moment, he felt a figure walk in front of him.
Still a little fuzzy, Jiang Luo didn't hesitate to bite his tongue again, and the smell of blood hit him, and his eyes snapped open.
Sai Liaoer got up from the bed and walked past them with a stony expression, as if he were a walking corpse, and disappeared straight out the door.
Jiang Luo tried to wake up Lu Youyi several people, but these people are sleeping dead. He stopped doing useless work, took his things and chased out.
The foggy white mist rose again outside.
It was two in the morning and the moon was white. Sai Liaoer walks out of the spa estate and heads for a nearby mountain village.
Jiang Luo followed behind him without moving, the fog around him was getting thicker and thicker. Sai Liaoer's figure became a black shadow in the fog. I don't know how long I walked, but another black figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the fog.
The figure approached Sai Liaoer, but Sai Liaoer didn't seem to notice as he continued to walk in a straight line. It was only when the shadow dropped something in his hand that Sai Liaoer gave a short "ah" as if he had come to his senses.
Jiang Luo waited patiently, calmly judging that Sai Liaoer had not yet reached the moment of crisis that required his intervention.
The white fog gradually dispersed, Sai Liaoer did not know when his hands held a long chain, the chain from his hands down to the ground, the thickness of a baby's arm like that.
Sai Liaoer's voice sounded on the verge of tears, "I don't want, want this thing."
The long, thin black shadow said, ''Since Duke Sei is in office, you must do your duty well. This object is a weapon in your hand, and it has always been this way. You can rest assured and have no need to be afraid, as long as you answer the dawning on time, I will certainly let you go back to your regularly dispersed duty."
The little blonde curly hair was silent for a while before she cried out, "I can't understand, what you're saying QAQ."
Long, thin, dark shadow: "......"
As soon as the long, skinny black figure exited the room, Jiang Luo knew he wasn't Chi You. He almost laughed out loud as he listened to the conversation between the two.
Jiang Luo, who just loved fun and excitement, peeked out and gave a light but quick glance over the dark shadows.
But just as this glance landed on the long, thin black shadow, the black shadow immediately noticed it.
He said in a serious tone, "Duke Sei, you've brought someone."
Sai Liaoer hurriedly and nervously looked around, but did not see anyone, in the heat of the moment, the native language are pugilistic, "Where?!"
"Crooked Child?" Ghost Shadow mused for a moment, "What is the meaning of this?"
Jiang Luo had been tense for a moment, but now he couldn't be tense anymore. Since he had been discovered, he simply walked out in a dignified manner.
The dark-haired youth smiled brightly, his smile so rich that it was like a rich and fragrant mellow wine, containing intoxicating kindness.
As soon as Sai Liaoer saw him, he was like a child in hard labor seeing his parents, running to Jiang Luo like a gust of wind, "Jiang!"
"I realized you came out in the middle of the night and worried that you were in danger, so I followed out to take a look," Jiang Luo smiled gently, "Sai Liaoer, what's going on with you?"
He looked again at the dark figure approaching, "And this is?"
The dark figure said, "You can see me."
He walked out from the white mist and revealed his true appearance. A long black robe, wearing a black high hat, holding a wailing stick, his face was white but handsome, it was clearly a look of a ghost messenger.
Jiang Luo's pupils tightened.
The man's dress couldn't help but make him think, is this Hei Wuchang?
He immediately looked down towards Sai Liaoer's hand. The iron chain held in Sai Liaoer's hand, could it be the chain of hooks and souls in the hands of White Impermanence?
Legend has it that Hei Wuchang catches lonely souls and wild spirits. The White Impermanence is a living person captured by the Underworld to work as an agent of the underworld. Since living people have yang energy, they are not afraid of the yang energy in the body of the dying person, so they are in charge of taking away the soul of the dying person and escorting it to Hei Wuchang to take it to the netherworld.
This is what is called "going nowhere".
Jiang Luo thought that the "walking erratic" was just a legend, but he didn't expect that it would really happen to him. The one who was taken away as an errand boy was no one else, but a foreign friend, Sai Liaoer.
Hei Wuchang stared at Jiang Luo without a smile, "You're strange."
"Your soul, it seems like it doesn't belong to this world," Hei Wuchang frowned, the sharp light in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate through the skin to see Jiang Luo's inside, "Transcending the three realms, belonging to a place other than hell, there is indeed something odd."
Jiang Luo looked at him defensively and took a step back.
But Sai Liaoer ducked behind him, and Jiang Luo's kick caught him in the act of stepping on the long, floor-dragging Soul Chain in his hand.
The soul chain, which had been silent all along, suddenly stirred up. As if it had smelled something it liked, the head of the Soul Chain wrapped around Jiang Luo's ankle. The black iron chain crawled like a black snake, Hei Wuchang was the first to notice that something was wrong with the Soul Hook Chain, his face changed as he shouted, "Duke Sei, take the Soul Hook Chain and retreat!"
Sai Liaoer didn't respond, "Huh?"
In the next instant, the Soul Hooking Chain seemed to be startled by Hei Wuchang. Suddenly split into two halves from the center, turning into two finger-thick iron chains. When no one reacted, one of them flew towards Jiang Luo, and in the eyes of Jiang Luo's incredulity, it passed through Jiang Luo's chest and drilled into Jiang Luo's body.
Jiang Luo was stunned, he looked down at his chest, raised his hand and touched it, there was nothing, the scene just now seemed to be a hallucination of his.
Hei Wuchang's face sank, "Oh no!"
Sai Liaoer looked at Jiang Luo in shock and reacted by asking Hei Wuchang after him in a panic, "Hei, is Jiang alright?!"
"The Soul Hook Chain is a Soul Detaining Weapon, the world seldom knows that the Soul Hook Chain also has a twin birth weapon called the Soul Locking Chain, " Hei Wuchang frowned deeply and said, "The Soul Locking Chain naturally likes strange and bizarre birth souls, and once it has its eyes on any birth souls, it is bound to wrap itself around the birth souls. "
At this moment, Hei Wuchang could clearly see that the soul chain had tightly wrapped around Jiang Luo's soul.
This situation is rare from ancient times to the present day, after all, the hook soul chain hooked countless souls, the eye of the chain of souls has long been raised by all kinds of souls to be picky. Who knew it was such a coincidence that today it met a living soul it liked.
And the raw soul of this dark-haired youth was really strange.
It wasn't that Hei Wuchang hadn't thought of the matter of borrowing a body and returning it to his soul, but how could this be explained by the fact that the black-haired young man's soul and body looked the same?
Hei Wuchang did things cautiously and carefully, and had not made any mistakes in a hundred years. Not realizing that this moment had capsized, he didn't hold back and sighed heavily.
The tone of voice brought Sai Liaoer to tears, and the little blonde curls nearly went limp, "Black, help Jiang!"
Jiang Luo's heart also sank, "The soul chain has locked my soul, does this mean I'm going to die?"
Hei Wuchang rarely felt what a human being would call a "headache", and he helped Sai Liaoer, who was about to slide to the ground, "Sir Sai, there's no need to make such a big gesture. This Mr. Jiang has obtained the Soul Chain, so what is lost may not be gained."
Sai Liaoer sobbed as she was helped to her feet, "I don't understand."
Hei Wuchang : "...... Jiang Gongzi will not die."
As a workaholic, Hei Wuchang took out a small notebook from his sleeve and said orthochromatically to Sai Liaoer, "Mr. Sai, the old woman Yang Xiuchun in the second left room of the 204th household of this village will die in a quarter of an hour, so you should go and hook her soul. I'll tell you more about it when I'm done with my business."
Sai Liaoer went to the hook with fear and trembling, and took one step and three turns back within the village.
Jiang Luo even felt that Sai Liaoer had a sense of sadness about going to his death.
Hei Wuchang watched along with him until Sai Liaoer's back disappeared before turning to look at Jiang Luo.
"Sir Jiang," Hei Wuchang said solemnly, "the Soul Chain will not harm your living soul, and on the day you die, I will come to you and personally untie it from your living soul."
"Mr. Hei Wuchang, I'd like to know what you mean by the saying, 'Where it is lost, it may not be impossible to be reaped,'" Jiang Luo looked so calm that Hei Wuchang couldn't help but look at him in a different light, "Where it is lost, and where it is reaped. "Where does it lose and where does it gain?"
Hei Wuchang said, "It's a long story."
Jiang Luo smiled and said, "It's fine, I'll listen to you slowly."
Hei Wuchang then spoke slowly. According to Hei Wuchang's words, once the soul chain is locked on Jiang Luo, unless Jiang Luo can control the chain, he will never be able to take it off. With the soul chain in his body, everything that can nourish the soul level is useless to Jiang Luo, which is like a bowl of water, the lid of the bowl is sealed, and then take other water to pour into the bowl, can not pour in a drop.
But at the same time, there is also an advantage. The soul chain confines Jiang Luo, but it also protects him, so if anyone tries to do anything to his soul, they will only be able to do so in vain.
Jiang Luo instantly remembered Chi You's puppet soul refining technique.
His expression moved slightly, "Then in that case, the Puppet Soul Refining Technique is also useless to me?"
Hei Wuchang nodded and looked at Jiang Luo with slight sympathy, in his opinion, the disadvantages of having your soul chained clearly outweighed the advantages, "It's a pity, you still have a bead on you that can enhance your spirit body, but it's useless now."
Jiang Luo just wanted to laugh.
"No pity, no pity at all," he pulled out the Primordial Heavenly Pearl and pinched it down hard, "It's no use to me, then I can crush it."
God knows how much Jiang Luo worries about waking up under Chi You's control every day.
He has to stuff talismans under his pillow every night before going to bed, and put talismans on his body. The first thing he does when he wakes up is to check the talisman and recall if yesterday's memory has been tampered with.
Only after getting the Yin Yang Ring did he breathe a little sigh of relief, but this ability of Chi You still stuck in his throat.
He loves and hates Primordial Heavenly Pearl, equally.
Love it because it makes Jiang Luo stronger, hate it because it's part of Chi You's soul.
When he thought of devouring Chi You's soul and intertwining it with his own, he felt grateful. Even if Primordial Heavenly Pearl could make him stronger, he had no desire to use Primordial Heavenly Pearl.
So he kept the Primordial Heavenly Pearl and never used it. But after this accident, Primordial Heavenly Pearl had no effect on him, and Jiang Luo finally didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Jiang Luo's fingers pressed hard, but awkwardly, the Primordial Heavenly Pearl didn't break.
Jiang Luo summoned Yin Hu without changing his expression and threw the Primordial Heavenly Pearl into Yin Hu's mouth.
Yin Hu chewed hard, but showed a toothache expression, it aggrievedly rubbed at Jiang Luo waist and spat out Primordial Heavenly Pearl.
Jiang Luo took a deep breath and re-hid the Primordial Heavenly Pearl.
Hei Wuchang kindly said, "This bead is hard and indestructible, so instead of trying to crush it, it would be easier to hide it."
Jiang Luo smiled politely at him, "Thanks for the guidance, I know."
Fifteen minutes later, Sai Liaoer walked out of the village on time. Hei Wuchang pressed the soul down and said to Sai Liaoer, "Mr. Sai, you still have the souls of five hundred and six people to hook."
Sai Liaoer said lifelessly, "Brother Black, I'm really not suitable, for this job."
Hei Wuchang frowned disapprovingly, "Duke Sei, the matter is settled."
Sai Liaoer only felt dizzy in his ears and in front of his eyes, he scratched his blonde hair and said pitifully and brokenly, "I really don't understand what you said, Do you understand?"
Hei Wuchang said, "...... Sei Gongzi, I can t understand your words either."
There is no more business for Jiang Luo here, Jiang Luo is ready to say goodbye and leave: "You guys keep up the good work, I'll go back first."
"Wait, Mr. Jiang," Hei Wuchang called out to him, "The living walk impermanent, it's a secret, if the bystanders know about it, it would be a disaster for Mr. Sei."
Jiang Luo understands this.
If someone knew that Sai Liaoer was the White Impermanent Man and could take their souls, countless people would go crazy over it, and it is self-evident what Sai Liaoer would go through.
Hei Wuchang said, "Even if it's Duke Sei, when I remove the hooked rope from his hand, he'll forget about going impermanent."
Jiang Luo realized something was wrong, "Are you saying that I am the only one in the whole world who knows that Sai Liaoer is White Impermanence?"
Hei Wuchang nodded gravely.
Jiang Luo rubbed his brow and had a headache.
Is it because he's the one who crossed over that he's so special?
"Lord Sei doesn't seem too smart," Hei Wuchang said bluntly and half euphemistically, "I would also like to ask Lord Jiang to conceal himself for this matter."
Jiang Luo nodded, "Don't worry, even if you don't say anything, I won't tell anyone about this."
"After all ...... all," he muttered, "we're friends."
The words were so low that they were dispersed by the wind and no one heard them.
After saying goodbye to them, Jiang Luo went back to his room alone, while in Sai Liaoer's room, the others were still sleeping senselessly.
Early the next morning, Sai Liaoer came back bleary-eyed. Before, Jiang Luo would have suspected that he had been bewitched, but now he knows that this is clearly the pain of staying up all night working part-time.
He tried Sai Liaoer a few times with his words, and Sai Liaoer really didn't remember what happened last night. Jiang Luo gave up and helped him to fool his companions, and after the last day at the hot spring manor, the group went back to school.
After returning to the school, they rested for a few days and once again received a mission issued by the school.
Before the taping of a trainee talent show, three of the scheduled trainees inexplicably died violently, and one of the behind-the-scenes staff died.
The program started to spread its momentum and publicity before it started broadcasting, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. However, human lives were at stake, and after the director's team held several meetings to discuss the matter, they intended to call off the program even though they had lost a lot of money, but that night, one of the assistant directors was hanged in the studio.
There was also a line of blood on the wall of the studio, a threat left by an unknown person.
"If the program is stopped, everyone dies."
The program team didn't believe it, but the bizarre events that followed one after another forced them to believe it. Under the threat of death, the talent show had to be held as scheduled.
The police couldn't handle the matter, so they gave it to Birch University as a task. The school decides to pick out three people to act as trainees to fill in for the three dead trainees, and mix into the talent show in a low-key manner, trying to find out the source of the paranormal event without attracting the attention of the audience.
