Soul Eater

When Ruan Yang rubbed his eyes and looked again, he couldn't see anything.

He attributed the change in his eyes to his current work under the master of metaphysics.

Maybe it was influenced by some mysterious power.

After listening to Sisi's experience last night, Xiao Siming asked, "What kind of meat is in your refrigerator?"

Si Si thought for a while: "It seems to be chicken."

Parents saw that her complexion was too bad recently. Last night, my mother brought back an old hen that had just been killed from the vegetable market, and said that she would stew it for her to nourish her body the next day.

Wei Xuan rubbed his chin after hearing this and said, "Steal chicken? Could it be Huang Daxian?"

Xiao Siming said, "Go and see."

Wei Xuan stood up and patted the table, and shouted imposingly: "Let's go!"

Ruan Yang was taken aback, seeing that both of them were empty-handed, he tentatively said, "Let's go now? Do you need me to prepare some equipment?"

Wei Xuan was also taken aback: "What equipment?"

Ruan Yang recalled the magical tools and props used by Taoist priests to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits in the movie, and said: "Peach wood sword, black dog blood, etc...?"

Wei Xuan: "..."

He suddenly glanced at Xiao Siming guiltily.

The boss didn't make a sound, he laughed and said: "There is no need to prepare so many, we have enough talisman paper."

Xiao Siming has been walking in the Three Realms for tens of thousands of years, and ordinary evil spirits are not enough to fill his teeth, and even eating a few more can nourish his body.

The truth is, it's probably the same as a frail human being drinking old hen stew.

And in the modern age where spiritual energy is thin, the big monsters that have survived to this day have also become rare protected animals. As long as they don't take the initiative to act as monsters, they will be protected by the law and cannot be eaten or touched.

Xiao Siming has been starving all year round, so he simply hangs up a signboard to become a master of catching ghosts, eating a few evil ghosts and little monsters to fill his stomach.

However, in Ruan Yang's eyes, this scene invisibly raised the image of the two of them.

We are different from other Taoist priests!There is no need for such bells and whistles at all, just using talisman paper can subdue demons.

What does this mean? It means that we are great.

Ruan Yang even looked at Wei Xuan with warm eyes.

Wei Xuan's forehead twitched, he couldn't explain his suffering, so he simply didn't explain it, and let the child make up for it.

Said he was going to leave, Wei Xuan took out his mobile phone and made a call, and 10 minutes later, a seven-seater Trumpchi GM8 stopped downstairs.

Ruan Yang met another colleague of his for the first time, that is, the one Wei Xuan had been talking about—Mo Yu.

According to Wei Xuan, this colleague has been in charge of field work, exposed to wind and sun every day, and also works part-time as Xiao Siming's driver, which is very hard.

Working two jobs and getting one salary, Ruan Yang is in awe of such a dedicated colleague.

He greeted the man in the driver's seat, who was wearing sunglasses and just nodded at him.

It was just a face-to-face meeting, without even seeing the other party's expression clearly, but Ruan Yang instinctively sensed that the other party seemed to dislike him a bit.

Ruan Yang patted the notebook in his backpack, thinking that at that time he would write down the whole process of Xiao Siming and the others catching ghosts, observe and study hard, and strive to become useful to the office as soon as possible.

City H is huge, Tong Jia lives in another district, and the navigation shows that it takes more than an hour to drive there.

When we set off, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and there was a faint roar of thunder from behind the clouds.

Ruan Yang and Xiao Siming sat in a row, and the boss closed his eyes the whole time to rest his mind, making Sisi sitting in the back want to talk to Ruan Yang several times but dared not speak out.

When they arrived at a high-end residential area, the rain had already slammed down. The heavy rain washed away the original smell and mixed some damp earthy smells in the air.

"Xiaoyang, wake up, get out of the car."

Ruan Yang fell asleep leaning against the window not long after getting into the car, and now he was a little dazed when he heard Wei Xuan's voice.

Wei Xuan: "What a beautiful dream I had, my saliva is almost dripping on the boss."

This sentence made Ruan Yang sober all of a sudden.

He subconsciously stroked his chin and glanced at Xiao Siming.

In the dim light, Xiao Siming seemed to smile at him. Although Ruan Yang couldn't see it clearly, he was still amazed by that smile like a spring blossom.

He later realized that he was being played by Wei Xuan again, so he gave Wei Xuan a look, but because he had just woken up, the look was soft and had no deterrent effect.

"It's here. I've only been here twice, when we were freshmen." Mo Yu stayed in the car, and a group of people stood in front of the villa with umbrellas. Sisi glanced at Xiao Siming, "I'll press the doorbell."

Xiao Siming nodded indifferently.

Sisi swallowed, and pressed the video phone on the door under the gaze of several people.

The pale face of the child mother soon appeared on the screen, because of the dim light, it looked very lifeless.

Sisi was taken aback. She suppressed her nervousness and fear, and forced a smile: "Auntie, I brought some friends to see Jiajia."

"..." The child mother reacted a little slowly, and said after a while, "Okay."

Then there was a sound of slow footsteps, Mother Tong opened the door for them, her eyes flicked over the faces of Xiao Siming and the others one by one.

"come in."

The curtains of the villa were drawn tightly, and standing at the door seemed to have a gloomy cold air coming out of it.

Ruan Yang became nervous for no reason, and Xiao Siming grabbed his wrist the next second and led him inside.

Ruan Yang:! !

His heart beat a few beats faster, but looking at Xiao Siming's serious face, it seemed that the move was just out of the boss's concern for his subordinates, and he couldn't help but cast aside his psychological filth.

It is really rare to see a boss who is so considerate to his employees.

It was just that Xiao Siming held onto it a little tighter, and he didn't let go until they sat down on the sofa.

If he had loosened his hands later, the upturned corners of his mouth would not have been covered.

Mother Tong took a few cups and came over, saying: "Sit down for a while, who are these?"

Sisi pointed to Ruan Yang and began to introduce: "They are all classmates of our major."

Ruan Yang said with a baby face that he was a student, so his credibility was naturally high.

Xiao Siming also barely fits the profile of a college student because of his handsome looks and the fact that he deliberately wore a youthful casual outfit today.

Tong Mu's gaze stayed on Wei Xuan's face, and she said suspiciously: "Then this one..."

Wei Xuan, who looks like a gangster no matter in dress or appearance: "?"

He stared: what do you mean, can't I be a student!

Sisi answered for him before him: "This is our driver."

The corner of Wei Xuan's mouth twitched, and was about to refute, Xiao Siming cast him a cold look, and he immediately died down.

Tong Mu said "Oh" and said, "Jiajia is resting, I'll call her down."

Sisi's scalp became numb when she heard Tong Jia's name, and she hurriedly whispered: "No, no, if she's sleeping, we'd better not disturb her."

Tong Mu grinned: "She will be very happy to see you."

After finishing speaking, she turned and went upstairs, the cotton slippers slowly rubbed against the wooden floor, making a slight rustling sound.

Sisi didn't relax until the footsteps gradually faded away, took a few deep breaths, and asked nervously, "Did you find anything?"

Xiao Siming said indifferently: "Three souls and seven souls lost one soul and two souls, maybe I met the life-destroying soul."

Ruan Yang let out a soft "Hey", and Wei Xuan knew that he didn't understand, so he specially gave him a popular science: "People have three souls and seven souls, and usually the three souls and seven souls perform their duties in the human body. , you see this lady's eyes are dull and dark, and her behavior is unresponsive, she must have lost her soul."

Ruan Yang nodded half-understood, thinking that this ashen complexion was called Yintang's blackening.

"As for seizing souls," Wei Xuan continued, "it is a kind of sorcery that captures the souls of living people and refines them for their own use. Some spellcasters will leave souls behind, but People at this time can only be regarded as walking dead at best.”

He spoke very straightforwardly, and when he turned around, he found that Ruan Yang took out a small notebook at some point and was taking notes word for word.

"..." Wei Xuan laughed, "Why do you remember this?"

Ruan Yang sipped his dimples and replied, "Accumulate actual combat experience."

Wei Xuan didn't speak, but glanced at Xiao Siming, dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and said: Look at what you have forced people into, a good human being has studied metaphysics.

And Xiao Siming, the only one who knows Ruan Yang's true identity:...

He was silent, and said to Ruan Yang in a very gentle tone: "You don't need to remember, read more, and you will know everything in the future."

Obviously, both Ruan Yang and Wei Xuan took his words as comfort.

Xiao Siming shook his head in his heart, turned his gaze to the direction of the kitchen, and asked Sisi: "Is this house also so empty when you came here last time?"

Sisi was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, their family hired servants, including a housekeeper and two nannies."

But it was clear that the house hadn't been cleaned for at least three days, judging by the strands of hair clinging to the couch and the messy kitchen sink.

What was the reason for the child mother to fire the servant?After all, she lacked a soul and two souls, she was only slow in responding, but her mind was still able to think normally.

Ruan Yang was thinking, when rustling footsteps sounded from above the stairs again.

It was very slow, and it could be heard that a person with limited mobility was being helped down the stairs.

As the footsteps approached, Sisi also became extremely nervous, and desperately shrank behind Ruan Yang.

Ruan Yang patted her arm, intending to give her some comfort, but this time Sisi grabbed her arm and held it very tightly.

Ruan Yang hurt from being scratched by her, but seeing her panicked and frightened look, he held back and said nothing.

Everyone focused on the people coming down the stairs, only Xiao Siming stared at Ruan Yang's grabbed arm, raised his eyebrows, and the displeasure in his eyes lasted until Ruan Yang withdrew his hand uncomfortably.

It was indeed Tong Jia who came down from upstairs.

There was no blood on her face, and her stomach was not pierced. In short, Tong Jia's appearance was completely different from the ghost's revenge that Si Silai had imagined before. She looked like an ordinary girl.

Sisi was still very scared, so she called out in a whisper: "Jiajia?"

Tong Jia acted as if she didn't hear it, she didn't even roll her eyes.

Mother Tong said sadly at the side: "Since Jiajia came back, she doesn't like to talk. She only responds when you call her during dinner."

For some reason, Sisi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Tong Jia hadn't responded.

Mother Tong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled slowly again: "It's just right, you sit down for a while, and I'll prepare lunch."

The expression on Sisi's face froze. She originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that Xiao Siming and the others had no intention of refusing, she had no choice but to suppress the urge to speak.

Like a humanoid marionette, Tong Jia followed Tong's mother every step of the way and walked into the kitchen.

Ruan Yang looked at her back exuding a strong black air, and the words Wei Xuan said, "It's no different from a walking dead" suddenly appeared in his mind.

Sure enough, Wei Xuan said in a positive tone: "There is only one soul left."

Xiao Siming said: "Well, let's find the remaining two souls and six souls first."

Sisi asked: "What happens after you find it?"

Xiao Siming glanced at her, and said lightly, "We'll make a decision based on the situation."

"Ah!!" When they were communicating in low voices, the child mother screamed from the kitchen, as if she was being attacked.

Ruan Yang felt a golden light flash in front of his eyes, and Xiao Siming picked up a charm from a brocade bag and flung it out handsomely. The charm seemed to have eyes, and he flew lightly and quickly into the kitchen.

Then, a phantom rushed out of the kitchen and passed by in a flash. Although the speed was extremely fast, Ruan Yang could still vaguely see the appearance of that phantom.

Yellow, with a long body, a bit like a cat, and a long tail... like a weasel?

Wei Xuan let out a "wow" from the side, and sighed: "What a 300-year-old yellow leather essence!"

Ruan Yangxin said, why did you sound so cheerful when you said this, almost as if you were praising "what a bottle of 300-year-old daughter red", and found that the boss on the other side seemed to be a little happy.

Then, he witnessed Xiao Siming's series of actions with his own eyes.

Mr. Xiao is very calm.

Mr. Xiao took out his mobile phone.

Mr. Xiao began to conduct Baidu proficiently.

[Can weasels eat? 】

Ruan Yang: ...? ? ?

Before Xiao Siming pressed the search button, a hand stopped him from moving.

Ruan Yang said to him sternly: "The weasel is a terrestrial wild animal protected by the state and cannot be eaten."
