Push the ghost talker back

It was getting dark, and everything in the bamboo forest was dimmed.At the end of the bamboo forest, the bronze door on the mountain wall opened again, and a solitary figure stepped out from inside.

At this moment, there happened to be an unknown bird flapping its wings and making a sharp cry, which filled the bamboo forest with a terrifying atmosphere.The man looked up at the night sky, and then, like before, bit the tip of his tongue, drew a talisman in the void, and disappeared.

After a while, another person came out from behind the door.He was wearing a white cloak, and when he came out, he was still holding the ultimate secret written by Tao Chen in his hand.

same.

Lu Mingran read the content on the paper again.When he handed over the pen, Tao Chen actually took it.On this piece of paper, Tao Chen crossed out all the sentences he wrote at the beginning, and what was written later was what Lu Mingran said.

Lu Mingran still remembered Tao Chen's expression when he wrote this, from disbelief at the beginning, to a sudden tremor as if recalling something later.Especially the eyes, he felt as if something was disappearing from Tao Chen's eyes.

Lu Mingran didn't know what it was, but Tao Chen's eyes really dimmed a little bit.

At the end of writing, Tao Chen seemed to feel that there was no need to write any more, so he hastily wrote the last stroke.He stuffed the paper to Lu Mingran, stood for a while, then turned and went out.

Outside the door, Lu Mingran lowered his eyes.This time, he saw the content on the paper disappearing little by little.This is the secret of the world that cannot be recorded, so these writings are disappearing.

Having said that, the system seems to have said that Tao Chen will pay the price... what price?

--------

Tao Chen returned to City Z, where he and Ji Huan grew up together.

This time he made a little mistake and appeared on the busy street in this bloody state.Tao Chen originally thought that people would look at him strangely, but no, when people passing by occasionally raised their heads and saw him, they all casually looked away.

That's right, people don't make such a fuss these days.After thinking this way, Tao Chen collected himself, and casually pushed open the door of a convenience store next to him, and took water and food.

Tao Chen left his mobile phone with the stand-in when he was faking the fake death situation, so now he rummaged through his pockets and found banknotes to pay for.

The young boy at the cash register was obviously a little restless tonight, and hurriedly gave him change. Before Tao Chen walked out of the store, he found that the other party had given him five extra dollars.

So Tao Chen immediately turned back.

"Hi, you gave me extra change."

On the opposite side, the cashier still lowered his head, and Tao Chen raised his head after calling several times.

And when he raised his head, he looked at Tao Chen with confused eyes: "What's wrong?"

"You, you got the wrong change, give me more."

Tao Chen stared at him, only to see that he was still confused: "Ah, that, have you ever bought anything from us?"

The efficiency of amnesia... is higher than the amnesia in Korean dramas.

Tao Chen's heart sank.

In the next moment, he didn't care about paying back any money to others, and broke open the door with his belongings and ran out.He stood on the street with people coming and going, and turned around in a circle at a loss.

There seems to be something wrong with this world.

By the way, Dad's house, Dad... Tao Chen walked towards the bus station.

----------

Lu Mingran picked up Tao Chen on the side of the road.

That was two days later.It was late at night, and there was no one else outside.Under the dim streetlights, a man was sitting on the side of the road, holding a bottle full of mineral water for a long time, not knowing whether he wanted to drink it or not.

And not far away, a person has been watching him.This person is none other than Lu Mingran.

It seems that the hero has been hit hard.

Lu Mingran thought about it, and finally decided to walk over.When his white cloak appeared before Tao Chen's eyes, even though he had no wings at this time, Tao Chen still recognized him and slowly raised his head.

"This," Lu Mingran handed over the blank paper, "You once wrote on it, but they disappeared, do you know why?"

Tao Chen smiled: "Because this is the real ultimate secret, isn't it? It seems that I should have stayed a little longer at that time, so that you can prove it to me."

Lu Mingran looked at him sympathetically: "Actually, it has been proved now."

Yes, it has been proven.

When Tao Chen returned home, he saw his father coming home with a boy before he entered the house. The boy was carrying vegetables, talking and laughing with Tao Chen's father. The two were obviously in a father-son relationship.

The boy named Tao Cheng also said with emotion that his good brother Ji Huan ran away with an old Taoist priest since he went crazy, and he doesn't know how he is now.

At this time, Tao Chen vaguely knew what would happen after he walked over.If he stepped forward and called Dad, what would happen to that gray-haired old man?

Tao Chen stopped and didn't move.

From this moment, he finally understood that Tao Chen's identity had been erased by the world.

There is no such person as Tao Chen in the world, and no one will remember him anymore.

He thought so, but he never thought that the bird man behind the door still remembered him.

To be exact, that person is not a bird man now, he looks quite normal, he even has a name, he opened his mouth and said, "Tao Chen, my name is Lu Mingran."

Lu Mingran's next sentence was: "Tao Chen, do you regret it later?"

This is the arrangement of the system.The system said that the timeline can be rewinded. If Tao Chen is willing to cooperate with Lu Mingran to return to a few years ago and stop doing things that deviate from the main line, then this task will be very easy.

So Lu Mingran asked Tao Chen, "Do you regret it?"

The person who sat blankly did not respond immediately.After a long time, Tao Chen said this to Lu Mingran:

"Do you ever feel that everything in the world would be much better without me?"

Um?Lu Mingran was taken aback, "Hey, in the novel, you are so excited to be the Lord of Myriad Realms at this moment, why are you so depressed at this moment? You, did all the ultimate secrets hit you?"

It seems that it has indeed been hit.

In the next few days, Lu Mingran followed Tao Chen all the time, and Tao Chen did not object.After all, at present only Lu Mingran remembers him. To him, Lu Mingran is the proof of his existence in this world.

However, Tao Chen has been reluctant to agree to go back to the past, which caused Lu Mingran a headache.

Lu Mingran first found a house and settled down.The house is in the center of the city, and the landlady would remind Lu Mingran to be safe when living alone, but she didn't remember that Tao Chen was also living in this house.

Tao Chen didn't care about this, he went out during the day and came back at night with a very calm expression.This night when Lu Mingran asked him again if he wanted to go back, Tao Chen pressed the remote control, stared at the TV screen intently, and replied:

"Without me, Ji Huan became the head. My poor old father has a filial son. I think it's good."

In the original book, Tao Chen was not like this, he insisted on going his own way, and all the supporting characters could only sacrifice and detour for his path to upgrade. Now that he said this, Lu Mingran felt a little bit surprised while regretting.

You finally got your humanity back, male lead.

But can't we travel back to find it?

Lu Mingran wanted to say something more, but Tao Chen turned off the TV and wanted to rest.However, Tao Chen said a word before leaving:

"Do you want to go out with me tomorrow?"

Not bad, at least he was willing to let someone accompany him.

Lu Mingran felt a sense of relief, and went back to his room contentedly.After opening the door, the first thing that came into Lu Mingran's line of sight was the tree stump in the room.

Tao Chen found it.On the first day the two lived together, Tao Chen wandered outside for a long time, and even cut down a tree stump for Lu Mingran himself and brought it back, and said very seriously:

"You are a bird, I know you are not used to sleeping on the bed. Shall I cut the bed board again and make you some more stakes?"

Lu Mingran: "...Actually, I have deep feelings for beds."

The stakes eventually stayed, and the bed escaped unharmed.Lu Mingran was lying on the bed tonight, after thinking about the male lead, he was still so worried that he woke up several times in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, Lu Mingran followed Tao Chen out to buy vegetables.

It was an old part of the city, surrounded by houses that hadn't been demolished.When passing by those private houses, Lu Mingran noticed that Tao Chen's gaze was constantly cast on one of them.

"That grandma is an acquaintance," Tao Chen took the initiative to say, "She was the first person Ji Huan and I helped with magic. At that time, grandma really wanted to meet her son in the underworld."

Yin and Yang interlinked, which is not good for living people, but Tao Chen and the others helped pass the message.

Now Tao Chen is in a daze. Since there are no ghosts in this world, what did they do back then?

He told Lu Mingran his question, but Lu Mingran remained silent.Well, gatekeepers don't talk much.

"I'll go there to buy something first, you can wait for me here."

After leaving this sentence behind, Tao Chen went into a nearby butcher shop, leaving Lu Mingran standing there, basking in the sun.

Both sides of this farmer's market are facade houses, and in the middle are many tables made of cement, where vendors sell vegetables.

Lu Mingran went around to buy water fried buns to eat, and just stuffed two in, when suddenly, he heard Tao Chen's voice:

"Lu Mingran, it's time to go."

The tone of voice...somewhat wrong.

No, wait, it's not just the tone of voice.

Lu Mingran looked towards the source of the voice, and saw Tao Chen standing in front of a shop on the left, waiting for him with a bag.

But shouldn't Tao Chen be on the right?

Lu Mingran looked to the right, completely dumbfounded.

At the butcher shop on the right, he also... saw Tao Chen, who was looking at the pork and bargaining with the boss.

The system is also very surprised.At the same time, Tao Chen on the left came here, urging Lu Mingran to leave quickly.

The system said: "Let me explain to Ran, I think this is quite exciting."

Stimulate?

Lu Mingran pondered for a moment.Then, when that Tao Chen came, Lu Mingran made a choice.

He followed that Tao Chen away.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of what kind of monster this is!" the system called out.

"Touch it to find out what's going on."

After all, Lu Mingran smiled at the system:

"Don't you want to pursue excitement, then simply follow through to the end."

--------

Lu Mingran observed carefully, this Tao Chen was really exactly the same as the other Tao Chen.

But the details still made Lu Mingran feel a little strange, although he didn't know what was wrong.

The two went home together after shopping for groceries and watched TV together.During the period, Lu Mingran was looking forward to another scene after Tao Chen came back, but it didn't happen. From day to night, another Tao Chen didn't appear, which made Lu Mingran worried.

Not only that, Tao Chen said something abruptly at night, which startled Lu Mingran.

Tao Chen said, "I regret it."

After being tortured by loneliness for a long time, he regretted it.

The person on the sofa turned his head, looked into Lu Mingran's eyes, and said, "I regret it."

------

Since Lu Mingran said that he wanted to pursue excitement to the end, the system decided that Lu Mingran and this Tao Chen would travel back to the past.

Finally, there was nothing wrong this time, and they were accurately placed in...the tomb.

The candlelight was dim in front of him, bugs were crawling on the ground, and there was a coffin in front of him, so Lu Mingran directly grabbed Tao Chen's clothes.

But there is a reason for traveling back here. In the novel, Tao Chen met Song Gaishui, a descendant of the Song family, here, and since then he has been one step closer to the ultimate secret.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingran looked at the coffin.

Song Gaishui was poisoned by a strange poison, and he found this ancient tomb after being instructed by an expert. He came back regularly and lay down in this special coffin for two days for treatment and rest.Then one day, after Tao Chen accidentally broke into this place, he met Song Gaishui who had just woken up.

Now Tao Chen obviously thought of this, and took a step forward: "Song Gaishui, I remember him!"

With that said, Tao Chen raised the torch and shone into the coffin.

It was empty inside.

Song Gaishui isn't here?In other words, the timeline of the day they traveled back to was earlier?

Lu Mingran stood where he was, biting his lip.The system knew that he had an idea.

After a while, Lu Mingran walked over and said to Tao Chen, "You can't see Song Gaishui."

But the system says that certain plots of the novel cannot be changed, and Tao Chen will still come here two days later.

"...What should we do?" Tao Chen asked.

"Move the coffin."

After hearing Lu Mingran's proposal, Tao Chen was stunned, what kind of operation is this?Move the coffin?Where to move?

In the end Tao Chen followed Lu Mingran's suggestion.

As a gatekeeper, Lu Mingran was quite capable, and Tao Chen was also quite familiar with this tomb.

So, they moved Song Gaishui's precious coffin... away.This coffin was used to hold some kind of princess before, and there were corpses and insects left in it. Lu Mingran stubbornly closed his eyes and pushed the coffin out.

And Lu Mingran was very considerate, although he was very tired, he still remembered to walk to the door that Song Gaishui had to pass through when he came back, and write something on his stomach, leaving a note there.

The note said:

"Song Gaishui, it's too humid here and you get rheumatism easily. I'll help you move."

Attach the address.

Then continued: "Don't panic when you come back, don't call the police, I really just want to help you move."
