The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

In the suburbs outside of the city of Qunqing, under the shade of a huge red maple tree, the two hid behind the thick trunk and observed the passers-by.

"Those are the players you mentioned? Their attire and speech are indeed different from ours." You Mu leaned to one side, looking at those players dressed differently, some jumping up and down with weapons in hand, some standing stiffly in one place.

There are hanging words above their heads, some are long, some are short, and some are mixed with strange symbols and patterns. Those should be considered their identity symbols.

"Well, they are different from us. Their range of movement does not seem to be complete. Sometimes, they still need the beam of light to teleport."

Yi Ming pointed at the figures who disappeared outside the city of Qingqing and suddenly appeared inside the city. The invisible barrier had little effect on him, but for these players, it seemed like a real wall.

Last time, the two women entered the city in the same way.

"So, you think these invisible barriers are tools set up by that thing to distinguish players from us original residents?" You Mu grasped the point that Yi Mingming wanted to express.

"There should be such a factor, but according to my memories, the light column is the key. In the past, every time I was seriously injured after finishing the plot, I would be enveloped by a beam of light. While helping me repair my injuries, it also checked whether I had any memories." If any abnormality was detected, his memory would be erased and he would be restored to a state of ignorance.

This situation must have existed for a long time. At least, he must have struggled for a long time to be able to recall the fragmented memories after erasing them again and again.

Yi Ming's gaze fell on the familiar beam of light surrounding the players, his eyes heavy.

"Indeed, a horse will only run if it is fed enough grass." The evil ghost fiddled with the ponytail tied at the back of the little Taoist's head, and remembered that the other party was covered with wounds a few days ago.

"That day you came to my cave to avoid these beams. As long as you are not scanned, you will be safe?"

"Well, this is my current understanding." The content obtained is limited. Although there are many conversations between players that can be eavesdropped, they are also mixed. Those people always like to say some messy things and rarely mention the content that he is concerned about.

There are also some long strips of text that occasionally appear on the horizon. Currently, they are all simple characters, or they may be that a player with a strange name has obtained something. They are strange and meaningless.

"According to the plot, when will I appear?" The collar of the new clothes overlapped under the neck. The layers of clothes were too heavy for the evil ghost who was used to light ghost clothes.

You Mu tugged at his collar, feeling uncomfortable.

The bare toes that were used to being off the ground were covered with socks and long boots. The wrapping of clothes made the usually casual evil ghost feel uncomfortable.

"Don't pull it, I'll help you loosen it." The satin collar was pulled wide open by the evil ghost, and one side of the collarbone was completely exposed. The young Taoist pursed his lips, reminded, and took action again to tidy up the clothes that the other person had put on.

When entering the city, it is not good to have your clothes open so that others can see you.

Helping to loosen the collars of the inner garment and outer robe, smoothing out the creases, Yi Ming thought about the plots he had experienced in his memory and said:

"After the Zhengyang Sect received information about the murder of the Qi family in Xiangnan Street, Tongque City, they sent a group of disciples to track down the real culprit. I was among them, and then... I met you."

The best clothing store in Qunqing City, the clothes made are of high quality, although a bit expensive, but the silk fabric is very suitable for the evil ghost. In Yiming's mind, the other party is the prince of the Kyoto.

In fact, Yi Ming had no idea what You Mu looked like at first. He only heard the sect elders mention the evil ghost's green face, fangs and ferocious appearance many times.

Yi Ming himself was also seriously injured and had no way out that time. Just like this time, he fell to the ground and grabbed the other party's clothes. When he looked up, he saw the appearance of the Ghost King in the black cloak.

Rumors cannot be fully trusted. He must see for himself to determine the truth.

But, looking at it like this, I can’t... move my eyes away.

"The Qi family, the former royal family of Qi? They actually hid in Tongque City. They are really smart."

Speaking of enemies, You Mu became more alert and immediately remembered the information that Yi Ming had revealed. The ghost energy in his hand was a little restless, and knowing the whereabouts of these people in advance, he could not help but try to settle the grudge immediately.

Yi Ming saw that the ghost energy was trying to come out ostentatiously, so he immediately raised his hand to grab it, covered it with both hands, and whispered to comfort it:

"No, don't be impulsive. They can't run away. Wait a little longer."

"...You don't want to persuade me?" It is strange that the Taoist priest and the evil ghost are in cahoots with each other.

Facing You Mu's eyes, Yi Ming shook his head: "Cause and effect go hand in hand, and there will be retribution in reincarnation. This is their sin. They have done something wrong and violated the laws of nature, so they need to pay the price."

...Even those people in the Zhengyang Sect who are burdened with karma should pay the price.

"You only know how to say nice things." After all, these words touched the heart of the evil ghost. He gathered the ghost energy into his palm, and You Mu suppressed his breath. He saw from the corner of his eye that all the players on the path had dispersed, so he was about to walk out.

"Wait a moment."

With his wrist being pulled, You Mu tilted his head and looked at the Taoist priest who was hesitant to speak, asking in confusion, "What's wrong now?"

"…Clothes alone are not enough." They had already gone through trial and error in the above cycle. Simply relying on gathering ghost energy and trying to avoid the glances of those things was not reliable enough.

...must...must...

"Let's talk." The evil ghost didn't have much patience. Seeing the little Taoist priest hesitating, You Mu simply leaned against the tree trunk.

“…You, close your eyes.”

The little Taoist's ears instantly turned red, and he was too embarrassed to say it directly.

Looking at the situation, You Mu's eyelashes twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything and closed his eyes as he was told.

Seeing this, Yi Ming felt the heat and embarrassment on his face eased a little. He took a half step forward, gathered his true energy, and leaned forward to try to cross over.

"Young Master, between you and me, who is the ghost? You seem to know more than me? This method of absorbing the breath of living people requires close contact?"

The red lips were so close, but the ghost leaning against the tree suddenly opened his eyes.

The action was stuck at a distance that was too close, and he was suddenly caught, and Yi Ming's cheeks immediately felt burning.

However, facing You Mu's words, he was able to gain some confidence: "I am a human being, so I naturally don't know the method you ghosts use to eat human spirits. This method was clearly initiated by you in the last cycle, but now you are making fun of me?"

"really?"

"Of course. I have never lied to you." Yi Ming nodded in response, his words sounding certain but also a little shy.

The other person's eyes were burning, and he didn't seem to be fake. You Mu believed it, but not completely.

Will he be affectionate with the little pet he just adopted?

You Mu's gaze fell on Yi Ming, and he scanned him up and down twice, trying to see the rationality of the other party's words directed at him.

...Well, that may not be a bad idea. This kid does look good.

The cold fingertips touched the cheek that was still flushed, and with a little force, the position changed, and Yi Ming was leaning against the tree trunk.

With the evil ghost's arms propped up at his side, Yi Ming could hear the evil ghost in front of him constantly questioning him.

"You offered to help me, but you also wanted me to be your dog. From what you said, we have a close relationship. Little Taoist priest, you are not being honest. You must be hiding something from me."

The observation ability of evil spirits should not be underestimated. You Mu clearly saw the fleeting evasion and guilt in the other's eyes. He was sure that the little Taoist priest had not yet revealed something.
