Can't Save the World by Pretending to be Dead

"Keep the dead?" Ji Chen frowned, looking at Lian Xi in surprise.

On the way to the gate of the hospital, Lian Xi said in a calm tone, "Have you never heard of killing people? Friends who have known each other well, as long as they play well, they will be affected by him and die unexpectedly. Do you know the word Tiansha Lonely Star?"

Ji Chen looked at Lian Xi silently, without saying a word.

Lian Xi glanced at him quietly, then turned to the watchman and said, "You should know this."

"Ah, this..."

Alarm bells were ringing in the watchman's heart, he glanced evasively at Lianxi, and then at Jichen.

Of course, the watchman has heard a lot of stories about mortal life being hard and killing those around him.He has been the Daoist of Bai Wuchang in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years. He has seen the sad and beautiful love stories of life and death, and he has also captured many sad souls who were lonely and broken in life.Among them, there are many people who feel that they are the lone star of the gods, and they will kill all the people around them who are kind to them.

However, the underworld has never said that death is restrained.

The moment each ghost is reincarnated, his name is written in the book of life and death.Birth and death, stroke by stroke, in black and white, cannot be changed.

However, I have heard too many stories and seen many ghosts. There are indeed many ghosts who resembled the lone star of Tiansha, and most of the people who came into contact with him died unexpectedly.

The watchman is not yet at that level, he is not qualified to read the book of life and death.Even if he read it, he wouldn't know whether this kind of death-killing thing existed or not.

"We are not destined to die, but fortunately to see the common people. 』

This is what the watchman said to him when Judge Cui bestowed him with the official hat when he first came to Jiangnan Daobai Wuchang.

Even Judge Cui, who is in charge of the book of life and death, said that he is not the master of fate, let alone meddling in the reincarnation of the world.He is more like a servant of the book of life and death, serving the book of life and death, and watching the countless life and death, the ups and downs of the world with cold eyes.

Therefore, the watchman doesn't know whether there is such a saying as "killing the dead".But he knows how to figure out people's hearts, he is a ghost who was a man in his lifetime and became Bai Wuchang after his death, he looked into Lian Xi's eyes without waves, and laughed: "My lord, I have never heard of this saying. All ghosts and gods in the underworld know that the life and death of all living beings in the yang world are written in the book of life and death, and they are predestined, how could it be changed by one person."

Lian Xi didn't expect that the watchman would give such an answer, but seeing the watchman's flattering expression, he seemed to understand something.

At this time, the taxi also arrived at the gate of the hospital.

The three got into the car.

While fastening the seat belt, the man's deep voice sounded: "I've never heard of this statement."

Lian Xi didn't change his face: "You have lost your memory."

Jichen was stunned, and turned his head to look at the young man beside him.

After a long time, Jichen said, "I've already remembered something." After saying that, he flipped his hands and took out the golden album.Ji Chen was sitting in the back seat, and in addition to the dim light at night, the taxi driver sitting in the front seat did not realize that he conjured this golden album out of thin air.But when he saw him suddenly take out the golden album, Lian Xi still felt a thump in his heart, pressed his hand, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

The man looked down at him with a calm expression: "It's called Jinzhen Yuguang Ziwen." Then he raised his head and asked the watchman sitting in the passenger seat: "Have you heard of it?"

The watchman thought for a while: "No."

Jichen: "Look, I've remembered a lot."

Lian Xi: "..."

Have you finally remembered the name of your magic weapon?

Jichen: "Anyway, I have never heard of the saying of overcoming the dead."

Hearing this suddenly, the driver, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Ji Chen and Lian Xi from the rearview mirror in surprise, and quickly looked away.He was probably thinking, what kind of people are he pulling in his car? They are so weird.

Mr. Xi never cared about this kind of mortal attention. He went his own way, with a calm tone, and softly snorted: "Hmph, I haven't heard of it anyway, so it doesn't exist."

Lian Xi: "..."

Watchman: "Hey, the adults are right, but the little ones think it's totally unreasonable."

grown ups?small?Crashing a sharp turn, the driver looked sideways at Lian Xi and the three of them.

Lian Xi was speechless.However, after a long time, he found that Chen Chen was still watching him.Hei Wuchang's calm and calm gaze has been staring at him all the time. It is obvious that this man has an indescribably strange self-confidence, but inexplicably, looking at him like this, Lian Xi's lips moved, and a strange feeling slowly melted in his heart. open.

After a while.

Lian Xi: "Okay, okay, whatever you say is right."

Seeing the foolish expression of the young man, Jichen's eyes flickered.He withdrew his gaze, calmly said: "It was right in the first place."

Even Xi didn't bother to talk to him.

Get back all your lost memories first, okay, hell ghost!

"My lord, what the little one said before is also true."

Lian Xi raised his head in surprise.

In the passenger seat, the watchman laughed, turned his upper body around, and leaned closer to speak.

The watchman swore: "Very sincerely."

With a slight movement in his heart, Lian Xi glanced at him: "Yes."

***

Three days later, Lian Xi received a call from Wang Zihao.

"Well, the matter has almost been resolved. Speaking of which, Lianxi, your distant relative is really strange. The day before yesterday, our hospital refunded your relative's hospitalization expenses, surgery fees, and medical expenses out of humanitarian compensation, but this morning, they unexpectedly It was returned."

Said it was out of humanitarian compensation, but Lian Xi knew that it was Wang Zihao who said it better for his own sake. In fact, the hospital was afraid that the family would cling to him and come to cause trouble again, so they paid them off.but……

Lian Xi: "Back?"

Wang Zihao seemed to be eating in the cafeteria, shouting loudly: "Yes, it's returned. It's really interesting. They were the ones who stayed in our hospital and insisted on losing money. Now they are the ones who returned it. What's more interesting is that Li Two of the four members of the family consulted the staff of the doctor-patient office and asked them if they could see mental problems in our hospital. They also said that they were not mentally ill, but they often had nightmares.”

Lian Xi opened the door to pick up the takeaway, took the phone and said, "Probably I did something wrong, so I can't bear it."

Wang Zihao smiled: "Maybe. By the way, Chen Kai got married on the weekend, you know."

"know."

"See Weekend."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lian Xi stared at the gradually darkening phone screen without saying a word.

He didn't expect the Li family to return the money, after all, it was thousands of dollars.According to the nature of the Li family, the money can only be taken, not returned.But after thinking about it, he figured it out.

The watchman said that mortals who are intoxicated by the fragrance of the other shore flower will see what they fear most in their hearts.It was Uncle Li that he let the Li family meet, so what did the Li family fear most after seeing Uncle Li?It must be because he is afraid that Uncle Li will say that he is not filial.

Day and night, repeating this nightmare, anyone would be tortured to the point of listlessness.

Returning the money to the hospital is also for peace of mind, and I want myself to have a good night's sleep.Unfortunately, they are doomed to be disappointed.

"Hey, the takeaway is here, Lianxi, you don't say anything." Su Jiao came out of the room, saw the takeaway in Lianxi's hand, and couldn't help complaining.

Lian Xi: "Shout the minister, it's time to eat."

"Who's going to call that nigger job?" said the shorty's roommate, but he still knocked on Mr. Xi's door, "Hey, it's time to eat."

Lian Xi sent a message to the watchman, asking him to come back for dinner first.

After sending the message, Ji Chen also walked out of the room.Lian Xi looked at his colleague: "Go out to catch ghosts after dinner?"

A colleague was browsing a short video app, when he heard this, his complexion changed slightly, and he was about to refuse, but Lian Xi raised his eyebrows: "If you don't go, you will definitely not be able to compete with the ghosts in Shanghai City, their points increased by [-] points yesterday .”

Eight thousand points? !President Xi sneered and said, "Go later."

Seeing this, Su Jiao on the side gloated and said, "I made you lazy, this is bad luck!"

Lian Xi and Mr. Xi hummed softly, ignoring him.

That's right, Lian Xi and Ji Chen never expected that a small act back then would prevent them from cheating anymore!

Yes, that is, no more cheating!

Half a month ago, the watchman used his Jiangnan Daobai impermanence certificate to report Wenzhou ghosts for cheating to gain points. As a result, even Xi and Xichen's points were wiped out, and their names were publicized nationwide. Shame on the whole country!

At first they thought this was the most serious punishment, but slowly, as the days passed, the watchman found out in horror: "My lord, it's bad, my impermanence certificate can no longer charge extra fees for ghosts from other regions. Gain!"

The watchman said that the ghost messengers in the 35 cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are all wage earners who work for them in Jiangnan Road.Every time Lian Xi catches a ghost, assuming that the ghost is actually worth 100 performance points, then Lian Xi can only get 30 performance points, watchman 15 points, and Jiangnan Daoheiwuchang 15 points.And the last 40 points, handed over to the underworld for confiscation.

In the past, they could cheat and steal the 15 performance points of the watchmen as well, counting it as the public performance of Sucheng Guicha.Wenzhou ghost messengers cheated in the same way.

But now, it's gone!

All gone!

Watchman: "Whoa, who knew Judge Cui's performance ranking list is so smart! Now it's over, all extra performance will be monitored and eliminated by it, and no extra performance will be given to us."

When he heard the news, Mr. Xi's fingers trembled and he smashed his mobile phone.

Lian Xi was shocked: "This phone is more than 1!"

President Xi calmly said, "It's okay, I heard that a new mobile phone will be released this month..."

Lian Xi: "???"

I'm afraid you didn't take the opportunity to break the phone on purpose and want to get a new one!

This matter will not be mentioned for the time being.

Although there is no way to cheat openly, the two copies of Jiangnan Taoist ghost certificate are in the hands of the three of them at the moment.This is also a huge golden finger.Using the Jiangnan Road ghost certificate, you can emit a hundred guiding golden lights at a time, and the speed of catching ghosts is far faster than other ghosts.It's just that from now on, it's not enough to catch ghosts by the watchman alone, and even Xi and Xichen have to devote themselves to the great cause of catching ghosts.

On the weekend, Chen Kai's wedding.

Lian Xi originally only wanted to go alone, but Chen Kate deliberately sent out three invitation cards, inviting the minister and watchman at the same time.

President Xi was playing games, when he heard about this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Invite me?"

Lian Xi thought for a moment: "I probably wanted to thank you for helping him last time."

"Oh," President Xi said, "I'm not interested."

Lian Xi: "..."

Knowing that you are not interested, why not play a few more games if you have this time.

Even Xi didn't force it, but he didn't expect that the watchman was not willing to go.

The fat watchman touched his bare head, and said sadly: "My lord, the Shanghai ghost guards and the Yancheng ghost guards are simply not human! Why are they catching ghosts so fast? The little one is a dignified Jiangnan Dao Bai Wuchang, how could he not be human?" Can you lose to them?"

Lian Xi: "..."

He kindly reminded: "We are now No. 1, and we have dropped more than [-] points from the second-ranked Hucheng Guichai."

The watchman's eyes widened: "Only [-]?!"

Lian Xi: "..."

Watchman: "Thank you for your kindness, the younger ones don't have time to go to that wedding banquet. The difference of [-] points is too little! How can I say that the younger ones have to be three times more than them!"

Before Lian Xi could speak, the watchman went out to catch ghosts in a hurry.The sentence "Actually, I am Su Cheng Bai Wuchang, you are not" choked in his throat and had nowhere to say it.Lian Xi sighed, he thought for a while, and sent a message to the watchman.

[Lian Xi: The performance of ghosts in Shanghai and Yancheng is indeed a bit unexpected. 】

[ Watchman: Right! ! ! 】

[ Watchman: You think so too!Why don't we go to their territory and see if they cheat! 】

Lian Xi: "..."

Can you think about it, we are the ones who cheated!

If the government sets up a best employee award, who dares not vote for you, I will be the first to refuse to accept it!

Both the minister and the watchman refused to attend Chen Kai's wedding, so Lian Xi had to go alone.

Chen Kai was a man of the school when he was in college, with a wide network of contacts and good popularity.When Lian Xi arrived at the wedding hotel, he found that Chen Kai had invited almost all the friends he knew in college. The entire banquet hall was filled with tables, and there were 80 tables full of people!

Seeing so many "acquaintances" who seem to have some impressions and should know, Lian Xishe was frightened and stood at the door of the banquet hall hesitantly, the red envelopes in his hands became extremely hot.

At this time, a cold male voice sounded from behind.

"Lian Xi?"

Lian Xi turned around: "Doctor Wang?"

It was Wang Zihao who came.Wearing a clean and simple suit, he came over, threw the red envelope casually to the front desk, filled in his name, straightened up and said to Lian Xi, "Aren't you going in?"

Lian Xi smiled awkwardly, and also gave a red envelope with his name written on it.

The two walked into the banquet hall together, before taking two steps, Chen Kai saw them from a distance and walked over immediately.

"Lianxi, Wang Zihao!"

Lian Xi and Doctor Wang stopped.

Chen Kai laughed loudly, stretched out his arms to hug the two of them, and said, "I'll arrange a table for you two." Then, he led Lian Xi to the arranged table, while Lowering his voice, he said to his friend: "I know you're not good at communicating with people, your table is full of our roommates, and the four in the next room, plus Wang Zihao."

Lian Xi asked in surprise, "Zhao Li and the others?"

Chen Kai smiled and nodded: "Yes."

The social fear mute anchor was completely relieved.

You didn't say it sooner!

……

The wedding banquet started at seven o'clock in the evening and officially ended at nine o'clock.

Chen Kai's good popularity was fully reflected in this grand wedding.Many brothers saw him getting married, and they were very supportive. After the bride's veil was lifted, the master of ceremonies said something, and the brothers cheered. The atmosphere of the whole wedding scene was lively, and everyone laughed continuously.

"Chen Kai really knows how to behave."

Hearing this, Lian Xi turned to look at Wang Zihao.Dr. Wang, who was always wearing a white coat and had a venomous tongue, was holding a wine glass and looking at the couple on the stage from a distance.Sensing Lian Xi's gaze, he turned his head: "Don't you think so?"

After a few seconds, Lian Xi: "I think so."

Wang Zihao: "If you treat people with sincerity, you will get more responses. Everyone understands the truth, but this life is not good. I think you are similar to me."

Lian Xi drank the red wine speechlessly, glanced at Dr. Wang's blush cheeks, and thought to himself: At least I drink better than you, and I won't bite the bullet to drink for the sake of face when I know I can't drink!

after an hour.

The cold and bleak autumn wind will not reduce the power of murder just because of a happy wedding.

Standing in front of the hotel, Lian Xi held Wang Zihao's arm expressionlessly.Whenever Wang Zihao wanted to put his head on Lianxi's shoulder, Lianxi would push it aside mercilessly: not because of insufficient love, but because it was too, stinky, too!

Drunk people exhale a foul smell from their mouths!

After seeing off waves of guests, Chen Kai finally walked over to Lian Xi's side.Looking at Dr. Wang who was drunk, and then at Lian Xi, Chen Kai showed an embarrassed expression: "Well, I have something to do here, Lian Xi, if possible, can you send him home?"

Lian Xi was stunned: "I don't know where his family lives."

Chen Kai smiled dryly, "I know."

Lian Xi: "..."

"To be honest, he has very few friends. You are the only person who came to the wedding today. As far as I know, he only knows you."

"..."

Now that the words have come to this point, Lian Xi sighed deeply, and reluctantly took on the task of sending the drunk home.Fortunately, Dr. Wang didn't make any noise after getting drunk, just snoring and falling asleep.Lian Xi took a taxi, took him home, and threw him to bed.After making sure that there was nothing else to do, he finally left the apartment that Wang Zihao rented.

After going downstairs, Lian Xi stood downstairs, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

He will never send a drunk home again!

While walking towards the door of the apartment complex, Lian Xi took a taxi for himself while holding his mobile phone.

Speaking of it, Su Jiao seems to be a person who also likes to drink.There was a time when Su Jiao had dinner with his classmates, and when he got home, he stinks of alcohol and fell asleep.But Jichen doesn't drink alcohol.

There was a slight pause in her footsteps, and the handsome and indifferent eyes of a man appeared in front of Lian Xi's eyes.Under the bright and bright sun, Hei Wuchang stared suspiciously at a glass of red wine, took a sip, then pushed it away with disgust: "Tsk, what kind of taste, can you drink it if it's sour after the expiration date?"

...Well, Jichen doesn't know how to drink.

Just thinking about it, the phone buzzed and vibrated, it was a new WeChat message.

[Chen Kai: Good brother, have you sent the drunkard home yet? 】

[Lian Xi: I sent it back, I'm on my way home. 】

[Chen Kai: [Put hands together] Thank you, I will treat you to dinner later. 】

The flashing text on the screen was reflected in the clear pupils. Lian Xi pressed his fingers on the input box and was about to type, when a cool wind blew from behind him and brushed a strand of hair on his forehead.

【It's okay, no customers...】

The word "Qi" stopped in the input method selection column and hadn't been typed yet, Lian Xi suddenly stopped.

He turned his head and looked behind him.

Under the silent and vast moonlit night, the apartment complex was empty, and no residents were seen walking.

The street trees on both sides of the road were blown by the evening wind, making a rustling sound.On the sidewalk outside the community separated by a wall, you can still hear the regular footsteps of night runners.However, the sound became smaller and farther away, as if separated by a hazy water curtain, it was muddy and could no longer be heard.

In the darkness, a tall black figure stepped on the cobblestone path of the community, lowered his head, and walked step by step.It seemed that he was also going to the gate of the community, so he went on the same road with Lian Xi, and walked towards Lian Xi slowly.

"Da da--"

"Da da--"

Lian Xi held the phone calmly, watching the man in black get closer and closer.

His hand involuntarily pressed the bronze bell on his wrist.

The man lowered his head, his fine hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, and he could only see a very thin lip, the lips were light and light in color, the lips were well-shaped, and the line of his jaw was smooth.The tall and thin bridge of the nose was shrouded in light and shadow, casting a faint shadow on the other side of the cheek.

Step by step, he walked to Lian Xi's side, bypassed Lian Xi, and continued to walk towards the gate of the community.

After walking a few meters, he suddenly stopped and turned his head.

"you know me?"

The man raised his head slightly, and the hair on his forehead slowly slid away, revealing a pair of slender and tall peach blossom eyes.

Unexpectedly, this person was exceptionally good-looking, Lian Xi was slightly stunned, he lowered his eyelids, and said indifferently: "I don't know."

The man smiled, his thin lips curled up, his bright eyes filled with a cold smile: "I know you."

Lian Xi narrowed his eyes.

"But I'm curious, I'm not a ghost, why did you look at me for so long, since you don't know who I am."

Hearing the words "I'm not a ghost", Lian Xi paused, as if he suddenly understood something, and looked at the other party coldly.

The man smiled hoarsely: "At least in your opinion, you can't tell if I'm a ghost, can you?"

There was no superfluous expression on the handsome and elegant face, Lian Xi calmly said: "Yes."

"Then why are you looking at me?"

"Sometimes, humans are scarier than ghosts."

"Oh? How to say."

"If you were a ghost, I wouldn't be afraid. But you look... like a psychopath."

It seemed that he hadn't expected this answer at all, and the man's handsome face was full of astonishment.After a few seconds, he laughed maniacally, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, suddenly, the laughter stopped, and his sharp and cold eyes shot straight at Lian Xi.

"Then it's better to get to know each other. My surname is Jiang."

Lian Xi: "Xuanxiu?"

The man raised the corner of his mouth viciously: "No."
