Four full hours have passed since I saw that unclear photo on the bulletin board.

During these four hours, the report on the scorching hell in front of the ghost lamp has been stuck on the third page. The detailed rules of the written document do not exceed 150 words, and only two contact phone calls have been made. Not moving at all.

Not since taking over as First Assistant Officer has he been less effective.

Of course, it wasn't because he was distracted, or because he was remembering the old ticket, and it had nothing to do with the damn line on the bulletin board. If I had to say it, the surrounding environment was just too annoying up.

As long as Ghost Lantern picks up the document, or writes on the paper with a ballpoint pen, or even accidentally touches the glass of water, all the jailers around will pay attention to him in unison.In other words, any movement he makes now can instantly put the entire trial hall into a state of tension as if it were facing an enemy.

"He started writing."

"He looked up."

"Oh my God, his fingers touched the phone!"

Sounds like this have been quietly lurking around him since the lunch break, like mosquitoes flying endlessly, drifting over and buzzing a few times from time to time, leaving annoying words in his ears.

The passing jailers pretended to come to pick up the files, and every one of them intentionally or unintentionally walked past the desk of the ghost lamp, taking the opportunity to peek at his mobile phone screen.

"Have you looked at the bulletin board? Is that talking about Lord Ghost Lantern?"

"It's been reminded to this extent, who else is there besides Lord Ghost Lantern?"

"But 'Your Excellency the Assistant Officer of the Unicorn' or something, it may also refer to Mr. Xi!"

"Please, Ueno Zoo! What is Mr. Xi going there to do? Is the giraffe a Libra?"

The guards hid behind the door, discussing the bulletin board in what they thought were whispers.They took turns to observe every move of the ghost lamp with binoculars, exchanged long messages on their mobile phones, and even boldly pretended to look through the duty list over the years to confirm whether there was a business trip record to Tokyo in March of that year.

When the gossip is right in front of your eyes, everyone is a small judge of "The River of Three Ways".

That message is spreading on the Internet at a frightening speed. There are already countless peach heart lanterns lit on the bulletin board, and there will be more than [-] messages. Nearly half of them are analyzing who the poster is.

As the only clue, the information that that photo can provide is too vague. Apart from the ticket and jade pendant, the background is a window sill that can be seen everywhere in the corner, and there is no way to know the model of the mobile phone that was taken.

The jailers who were burning with gossip used all means and mobilized all their detective potential. After earnestly reasoning and arguing for a long time, there was only one conclusion that could be drawn.

Each.

That Lord Ghost Lamp who always has a cold face actually has someone he likes.

Other than that, really nothing.

The important person was sitting on an office chair not far away, reviewing the documents as usual, with a calm expression as if he didn't know that the whole hell was speculating about his relationship.

In view of Ghost Lamp's usual harsh personality, none of the jailers dared to ask him about the bulletin board. Only King Yan Mo coughed a few times from time to time, and tried to test it out by insinuating: "Spring is here."

He took out a squashed wild flower from his sleeve: "It's the season of love."

"These days, my little grandson always hides in his room and calls girls. If he falls in love with his family behind his back, it would be a bit lonely to think about it."

"Actually, Mr. Ghost Lantern is similar to this king's family. You see, we have worked together for many years. If you have any troubles, you can talk to this king. Let me use the perspective of someone who has experienced it—"

"How about from the perspective of someone who came here?" Ghost Lantern leaned back on the back of the chair, and tapped the handle of the mace with his fingers.

"Slightly...slightly...point...you..." King Yan Mo finished his sentence tremblingly withstood the oncoming murderous aura, then wiped off his cold sweat, and gestured a V to the door.

Good job king!Really worthy of being a king!

The guards applauded him silently outside the door.

"How are you, Ghost Lantern?" King Yan Mo put his fists on his face like a flower bone, "Is there anything you want to tell my lovely parent? Whether it's work or love, anything is fine~"

Well done king!Let's get out the secret of Mr. Ghost Lantern like this, my lord!

The jailers clenched their fists for him with tears of emotion, and readjusted the focus of the binoculars in their hands, aiming at the ghost lamp in unison.The messages on the bulletin board were refreshed at a rate of dozens per second. Those who were on the scene were as nervous as those who were in front of the computer, waiting with bated breath for the first syllable from the ghost lamp.

He turned his head!

He has spoken!

ko!The first word is ko!

ko... ko... ko what?

"It's shift time."

Under the searchlight-like eyes of his subordinates, the ghost lamp stood up calmly. While closing the report that had not been turned over from the beginning to the end, he smoothly threw it at the face of the "cute parents".

He walked out of the gate unhurriedly, turning a blind eye to the jailers who were fleeing in a hurry or pretending to be passing by, and walked straight to the courtyard behind the courtroom.

That place is a public place in hell, but because it is full of snapdragons, it is basically regarded as the private territory of ghost lamps by default.

At this very moment, with a little intelligence, he knew that he would not welcome anyone to follow him.The guards holding up the cameras and binoculars had no choice but to stop in tears, biting their sleeves and watching him disappear around the corner of the corridor.

The spirit snatcher from the welcome class, Ye Jitou from the recording class, the migrant chupacabra, and the big-nosed snakeberry who always sleeps lazily.

Ghost Lamp silently recorded the jailers who had just investigated him just now, and sorted them by their initials and departments, and made a blacklist of astonishing length, so that they could retaliate one by one in the future.

Stalker, go bungee jumping at Yan Poudu.

The discussant, put on the civet cat doll costume and dance three times in front of Miss Mustard.

The candid photographer personally bombarded them to the brim with the rifles in the arsenal.

And so on, one must not be let go.

As for the daring culprit—Ghost Lantern took out his mobile phone and saw that there were nearly 1 comments under the photo, and the text part was posted with the words "It's awesome ~ it's the popularity No. [-]". The label of the class is automatically changed to pink by the system.

Hey, Your Excellency the Assistant Officer of the Unicorn, do you like me?

Familiar opening, familiar words, familiar tone of beating.He could almost imagine Bai Ze's face when he typed this line—with a happy eyebrow, a smile on his lips, and a pair of peach blossom eyes bent like crescent moons in the hands of a ghost girl, both cunning and innocent.

Every time he comes up with an idea that can deal with the ghost lamp, he must look like this. Just by looking at it, people can't help but push him against the wall, and use his fist to press back the triumphant energy that is all over the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes. .

Ghost Lantern has done this many times, and the relationship between him and Bai Ze is getting worse and worse in the constant quarrels, fights and clumsy pranks.

But this is the guy, hiding his name behind the bulletin board at this moment, asking him with his narrow eyes, do you like me?

like?

What kind of feeling is that, how can a ghost who has never experienced puberty know.

Ghost Lantern threw the phone aside, turned around and sat down on the steps, while gently pulling the ring of the watering device.

The wooden bucket filled with clear water is slightly tilted under the action of the mechanism, and the water flows through the bamboo tubes and flows into the shower, splashing on the surrounding snapdragon leaves.

This time is the most pleasant time of the day, when the heat weakens and the temperature remains at a moderate 19°C. The snapdragons shake their heads with the evening wind and sometimes make the sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other. The whole picture is so beautiful There will be scenes in hell.

If you are tired of work or encounter troubles, just come and sit here, no matter how bored you are, you will be relieved by these lovely pets.Especially the tiger-headed goldfish in the center of the courtyard, under his careful care, has almost reached the longevity standard among its kind, and its height will soon exceed four meters. It was also judged last month and will be appointed as the mascot of the competition. It can be said that good things continue.

Six years ago, this snapdragon was a seedling no taller than a finger. Who would have thought it would grow so well.

Ghost Lamp can still recall the scene of transplanting this seedling into the courtyard back then, but it was also six years ago, and he can't remember exactly what kind of mood he had in giving the ticket to Bai Ze.

Six years is very short for ghosts and gods, like a leaf falling from a branch to the ground in the blink of an eye, but as a date, this process is too long.

When the word "date" came to mind, Ghost Lamp was stunned for a moment.

His thoughts also drifted farther in this moment, like an uncontrollable kite, passing through such a period of earth-shaking chaos, flying to a peach forest in the clouds that happened to pass by as far as 4000 years ago .

At that time, the ghost lamp was traveling around China, asking all the gods and ghosts he encountered for advice from other generations.

The ghosts in the land of etiquette are all gentle and gentle, with a kind attitude, and they are willing to give advice when they are asked.Because of this, when he saw the drunk figure on the peach tree, he naturally greeted him.

The man returned the salute by lying on the tree, with wine dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his moccasin boots sticking out and shaking, giving the impression that he was an uneducated drunk.But Ghost Lantern soon discovered that this guy was a rare smart person in the world. Not only was he wise and knowledgeable, he was also knowledgeable about the judging system of the other world.

So he stayed and drank wine with him for two full days and two nights, during which time he asked for advice on everything he wanted to know, from the trial in Huangquan to the rectification opinions of the next life.By the time the information was collected, the ground was full of the gourds they drank, and the man became delirious due to drunkenness, stepped on the air and fell into the world from the clouds.

This confused drunk was of course Bai Ze.

A long time later, they met again at the backstage of the He-Han Friendship Athletic Conference. Ghost Lantern recognized the peach-eyed young man in a uniform at a glance, but the other party didn't seem to recognize him.They acted as comprehensive referees together in the competition, and participated in the judgment of the results of various competitions such as swordsmanship, archery, demon art, and wisdom. During the period, Bai Ze hooked up with eleven girls, and never said a word to him.

During the break of the competition, they were arranged in the same lounge by the organizer. At that time, Bai Ze finally showed signs of speaking. Ghost Lantern thought he remembered the agreement made 4000 years ago, and was about to say that he would accompany him at any time, but he pointed to the toilet and snickered Get up and say whether you want to bet on the next woman's boobs that come out.

That boring bet has not won or lost so far, and he is the only one who remembers the agreement made in the wine fight 4000 years ago.

The mobile phone beside him rang a reminder sound, interrupting his memory.

Ghost Lantern picked it up and looked at a few pages casually, and found that the trend of messages on the bulletin board had grown from "who does Ghost Lantern like?" to "Why would Ghost Lantern like such a dull and self-righteous guy".

The comments obviously made by women are questioning and blaming with a strong sour sentence, and no matter which sentence, there must be a dazzling "like" in the sentence.

The person Ghost Lantern likes.

The person Ghost Lantern has liked since six years ago.

Lord Ghost Lamp has liked someone he wanted to date since six years ago.

Everyone is saying that he likes him. As for what is liking and whether he likes him, I'm afraid even Ghost Lamp himself doesn't know.

When he was a child, he was used as a living sacrifice to pray for rain by the village, and then he became a ghost and god, and then became the first assistant official. He never had the chance to experience a normal 15-year-old.He has never had the unrequited love experience of ordinary boys, nor has he ever admired or pursued anyone. He only has a very vague concept of "like".

Thinking about it now, the things he did to Bai Ze seemed to be very ordinary, nothing more than arguing with him, beating him, playing tricks on him like elementary school students, repeating the cycle, that's all.Even if I kissed him at the Yulan Festival Hell Festival, it was only for the purpose of revenge.

All the dangerous behaviors that the ghost lamp did to him had already found a way out before they acted.

He marked spoilers in the book with the invitation information to minimize the possibility of the tickets being discovered; after kissing Bai Ze, he pretended that nothing happened and blamed everything on the other party's illusion; Zebuki deliberately ignored the blush on his face and the fluttering eyelashes when he opened his eyes. He could obviously kiss him with a ready-made excuse, but he said first that it was just a joke.

So careful, so prudent, is it like this?

"I like it but there is no standard template."

Someone replied with a sigh-like voice.

Ah Xiang sat down beside him, smiled and waved: "Sorry, but you asked out loud."

"There is no need to say honorifics at this time."

"I also think, but if I don't say anything, I will feel a little uneasy." Axiang frowned like him, "After all, Lord Ghost Lantern is the object of attention of the whole hell. As a woman, I still talk to you alone. It's bad to be the target of public criticism."

Her appearance of pretending to be troubled was very interesting. Seeing that she was visiting alone, Ghost Lantern felt a little relieved: "Then the person sitting here at the moment is the Assistant Director of Zhonghe Hell, or an old friend I have known for many years?"

"If I say the latter, does it mean that I can ask you straightforward questions." Axiang handed her mobile phone in front of him, "Then I will not be polite. Excuse me, this girl who made 90.00% of hell Trapped in the quagmire of jealousy, who is the so-called 'Ghost Lamp's lover'?"

On the screen of her mobile phone, the hateful line of text was alternately changing colors from light pink to pink, and the number of messages underneath was also increasing, gradually piling up into a terrifying number.

Seeing this scene in the hands of acquaintances, the discomfort of being discussed wantonly and peeking into the heart seems to be stronger.Ghost Lamp frowned, and the pull ring in his hand broke in two.

"Sorry, it seems that even as an old friend, it's too abrupt to ask." Ah Xiang quickly retracted the phone and smiled at him, "Please don't be angry with me."

"Not so narrow-minded."

"The person who posted this photo, will you be angry with him?" Ah Xiang asked in a gentle voice like parodying "Touch" while taking the broken tab from his hand.

"After all, you usually get along so badly."

Her words were vague, and her smile didn't seem to have any deep meaning, but as a friend she had known since the age of mythology, Ghost Lantern was sure that she had already guessed the identity of the publisher.

This ghost girl is his rare confidant in hell, and they have a deep understanding with each other, not to mention that she has as good a mind as her body, if she still pretends to be stupid with her at this time, it would be a bit self-deprecating.

"If you're right, I can tell you with certainty that there is no 'like' relationship between me and him."

"But it's not as annoying as it looks on the surface, is it?" Axiang covered her smiling eyes with her sleeve, "It's a pity that your answer was not honest. I thought you would be honest with me."

The out-of-control shower sprayed water mist in all directions in front of them, and the snapdragons also changed their swinging directions. Because of the limited range, they couldn't enjoy all the nutrients no matter how they swung. Screams of protest.

"A beautiful improved variety."

Ah Xiang calmly changed the topic to what Ghost Lantern is interested in: "In autumn, it will turn into an even more brilliant purple."

"Messy turquoise." Ghost Lantern pointed her to the tiger-headed goldfish, "the most respected species among collectors."

"No wonder, it seems rare. The last time I saw a snapdragon grass of this color, it should be in Master Bai Ze's pharmacy." When Ah Xiang mentioned Bai Ze's name, he bit the syllable intentionally or unintentionally. .

"At that time, he collected about a hundred dried snapdragons, as if to make a special potion. I was free with other girls who were waiting for the potion, so I asked about the purpose of the potion, and he was very happy. It may have been a full half an hour." She turned her head slightly, as if she was trying to recall the scene at that time, "Then that girl became his girlfriend. I have to say, Master Bai Ze was trying to please her. Girls are really talented.”

"He's just a pervert with a docile appearance." Ghost Lantern gave a vicious evaluation as always.

Ah Xiang waved at him: "Please don't say that, even though I'm used to meeting lovers who fall in love at first sight, it's quite remarkable to be able to date a magazine model in such a short period of time."

As she said this, she took out a roll of spring peach-patterned washi tape from her handbag.

"Although that appointment didn't take place."

"Oh?" Ghost Lantern was not surprised by this, "That stupid beast's ex-girlfriend came to beat him up again?"

"It's not like that." Ah Xiang lowered her head and used the adhesive tape to repair the tab that was crushed by him. "It was Mr. Bai Ze who received a call, and it seemed that he was asked to send a large portion of pomegranates and ground bone skins immediately. The tone of the person at the head was very bad, rather than ordering medicine, it was better to say that he was here to quarrel, and in the end Master Bai Ze dropped his mobile phone."

"He quarreled in front of the new girl he met and suppressed her order for someone else, so the date naturally fell through." Ah Xiang sighed softly, "That girl lost her temper with him before she left. What did you say, 'Since you have a lover, it's really bad to go to talk to others', slapped him so that his face was covered with nosebleeds."

Ghost Lantern coughed lightly, and looked away unnaturally under the pretext of checking the watering device.

"What a fool."

"He's just not very good at hiding his inner emotions." Ah Xiang smiled, "Although Mr. Bai Ze had a bad face when he answered the phone, but the moment he saw the caller ID, he was here," she stretched out her finger, Pointing on his own eyes, "And here," the finger moved down to his lips, "it's obviously a smile that can't be hidden."

The assistant officer on the opposite side looked at the intact hanging rope indifferently, and said after a long time: "Really."

"I can notice this, I don't know if it's my sensitivity as a woman, or other people are too dull." Axiang handed him the repaired pull ring, "The person who ordered the hanging pomegranate and the ground bone skin Probably won't realize how much Lord Bai Ze looks forward to his call."

The pull ring wrapped with peach blossom tape looked as complete as before. The ghost lamp put it back, and then pulled it lightly, and the shower that was spinning around instantly returned to the spraying direction.

"Then I'll take my leave." Ah Xiang stood up and bowed to him, "Please don't mind me saying something unnecessary."

She also left behind the roll of washi tape, on which the early spring pink peach prints are gorgeous and eye-catching, just as gorgeous as what he saw in the peach forest 4000 years ago.

In 4000 years, Gui Deng has grown from a young ghost to the first assistant officer of hell, and the Chinese mythical beast who fights wine with him seems to never change.

His personality is still very frivolous, his capacity for alcohol is still poor, and he still looks confused when he is drunk, and he can't even speak a complete sentence.

Likewise, his memory remained obscenely bad.Ghost Lantern can be sure that when he stepped on the air and fell off the clouds back then, he definitely also threw away the agreement with him, and never remembered it again.

Hey, kid from the other side of the sea, how can you drink so well?

The one who started the topic 4000 years ago was obviously the drunken beast.He drank dozens of gourds of wine one after another, and recited the trial of the underworld from page 60 to page No. [-] until his mind was dizzy and his tongue was tied up.

At that time, Ghost Lantern answered him calmly while drinking: "Because I like to drink."

"Then besides drinking, is there anything else you like?" The other party lay on the ground in an ugly posture, the blush on both sides of his cheeks smudged to the depths of his collar, "Such as dating? Holding hands? Or with a girl?" Kiss or something..."

Facing his nonsense, the young ghost lamp thought seriously for a moment: "If I have to say it, I only like animals. Observing the habits of various animals is my hobby."

"It sounds interesting..." Bai Ze hiccupped violently in the grass, and his voice became lower and lower, "Then as a reward, take me to see it sometime."

"I never make a deal with a drunk."

"You can't be so rude to adults." The beast, who was so drunk that he didn't know where to go, raised his wrist from the grass. In exchange, I can also teach you how to chase girls..."

As soon as he finished saying this, he tilted his head and fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep, with saliva dripping all over his body, and the unfinished wine was spilled all over the floor.Being so drunk, of course he didn't see that the serious kid had written down the conversation just now in the data book, and extended his immature palm to give him a light high-five.

This was a rare invitation from Ghost Lamp when he was a teenager. Unfortunately, as much as he remembered it clearly, the other party forgot how cleanly it was.After that, they met again, quarreled, fought, became enemies, staggered each other, and refused to give in to each other, so that everyone around said that he and Bai Ze were a pair of enemies who would collapse if they met.

Because of this, when Ah Xiang said the word "lover" in a flat tone, His Excellency the Assistant Officer, who has always been known for being calm and unmoved by asides, showed a surprised expression at that moment.

It's not that he doesn't know what the word means, and he is also very clear about the hidden content in Axiang's words.Looking forward to the other party's call, this is a very normal thing for couples in love, but if it happened between him and Bai Ze, Ghost Lantern's first reaction would only be strange.

After being strange, there is a little bit of joy, and an inexplicable sense of course.

They have known each other for too long, even if they don't want to admit it, they have already gotten used to and accepted each other in their hearts.That is completely different from the tacit understanding with Ah Xiang, but a more forbearing and more complicated bond.

Friends or rivals, confidants or mortal enemies, all that is needed to stamp this relationship is the prior affirmation of one of them.

Thinking of this, Ghost Lamp moved a step faster than thinking, and pressed the familiar numbers on the keyboard.

The number one ghost in hell will not be passive. When the answer is ready to come out, he will always choose the most direct and clear method.

During the call, Ghost Lamp involuntarily began to imagine what kind of expression Bai Ze would have when he saw the call.

Perhaps, as Ah Xiang said, she is not the only one who has been quietly moved in the thousands of years of quarrels.
