The Midnight Owl

East courtyard of the ghost house, heaven.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, flowers and perfume pavilions, beautiful houses, and pleasant breeze.If it weren't for the lingering black air and the dark low clouds, Xu Wang really thought this was the abode of immortals.

The starving ghost said that there is a lot of ghosts here, but Xu Wang couldn't judge, and was a little curious, so he deliberately asked the starving ghost vaguely: "How do you feel?"

At this time, they were following the steward of the heaven to meet the boss.

The starving ghost sneaked a glance at the steward who was walking in front, and seeing that he didn't turn his head to reprimand him not to whisper, he smiled cautiously, with a sense of foolishness in his happiness: "Okay."

Xu Wang was also in a good mood for no reason: "Are you still hungry?"

"Hungry is always hungry, that's how I died, and I can't change it. But..." The starved ghost patted his stomach, "I've sucked enough ghost air, and I won't scream here, do you hear that?"

Xu Wang chuckled happily: "I'm not screaming anymore, how could I hear that?"

The starving ghost really thought about it for a long time before nodding: "That's right."

Xu Wang had never seen such a fool, even Wu Sheng, who was listening silently, smiled.

However, judging from the fact that the stomach of the starved ghost no longer growls, the ghost spring that releases ghost energy is right here, but the exact location is not known.

Xu Wang was thinking, Wutian Pavilion arrived.

This is a three-story attic, located in the deepest and highest part of the east courtyard.

The steward of the heavenly realm asked them to wait at the door, and went in to report by himself.

After the other party entered the attic, Xu Wangcai, Wu Sheng, and the starving ghost expressed their thoughts: "This boss is quite funny. He divided the land into the underworld, the human world, and the heavenly realm. In the end, the place where I live is called Wutian Pavilion."

Wu Sheng thought he was going to plan some important strategy, but he was speechless, raised his hand and turned his head back to the attic: "If you have time to think about these messy things, why not think about Whereistheghostspring."

Xu Wang: "..."

Although I know that my military division is in order not to expose the mission, but I am sure that people do not understand English, so it is too bullying to come to this kind of Chinese-English combination, no, it is too bullying!

Sure enough, the starving ghost looked confused: "What are you talking about?"

As soon as Xu Wang thought about it, and the nonsense hadn't formed yet, Wu Sheng gave an explanation first: "Hometown dialect."

The starving ghost became even more curious: "Then what do you mean by what you just said? If you have time to think about these messy things, why not think about it?"

Wu Sheng said, "Me."

The starving ghost: "Huh?"

Wu Sheng: "Why don't you think about me."

Hungry Ghost: "How long does it take to say a word?"

Wu Sheng: "Yes."

Xu Wang: "..."

Not wanting to bother about the free-spirited Junshi Wu, Captain Xu silently raised his head to look at the black cloud, and then the black cloud slowly turned into the faces of Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin.

I don't know how those two friends are doing now...

The east courtyard of the ghost house, the underworld, the residence of dream ghosts.

Inside the room, a thin man with disheveled hair curled up on the bed, shivering.He closed his eyes tightly, muttering nonsense, and the pillow was soaked with cold sweat and tears.

It was obviously so painful, but he just didn't wake up, as if he was imprisoned on the bed, and he was reincarnated in a nightmare forever.

At the base of the wall outside the window, two figures were secretly observing.

The trembling ghost obviously only saw pain but not horror, but there was a gloomy chill coming out of the window, piercing through the clothes and penetrating into the pores, making people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.

That is the most instinctive intuition of human beings about fear.

Kuang Jinxin: "Brother Qian, don't be afraid."

Qian Ai: "I'm not afraid."

Kuang Jinxin: "You stepped on my foot, and the soles of your feet kept shaking on my feet."

Qian Ai: "..."

Kuang Jinxin: "When I was young, I always felt that there were ghosts in the world. I was afraid every night when I went to bed. My grandma told me that people are three-thirds afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven-tenths of people. You are afraid of them, but they are actually more afraid of you."

Qian Ai: "My grandma told me that ghosts only eat disobedient children."

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Qian Ai: "You can have fun if you want, don't hold back."

Grandmas are all relatives to grandmas, but whether grandsons are relatives or not is hard to say.

Suddenly, under Meng Gui's body, a light flickered faintly!

Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin were startled, and immediately stared intently.

Soon, the flash lighted up again, but being pressed by Meng Gui's body, he could only faintly see a little bit, which was not very real.

The badge is correct.

But if you want to get it, you must uncover the dream ghost.

The two little friends subconsciously clenched their fists and exerted strength for Meng Gui from the air, hoping that he could make a big turn around and let out the bright light.

Unfortunately, Meng Gui didn't cooperate.

The two waited for a long time, Meng Gui was still curled up in the old place, the bed seemed to him to be only such a small area available, obviously the surrounding area was still spacious, but there was no intention of changing his position or moving it.

"It really doesn't work, you can only wake him up." Qian Ai said, "It's best to get him out of bed, so you can go up to touch the badge with your severed hand."

People can't go to the bed of dream ghosts, but it's okay to cut off their hands.

Kuang Jinxin thought the same way: "Brother Qian, I'll lure the dream ghost away later, and then I'll let the severed hand let the bed get the badge, and you will respond in the dark. If something goes wrong, you will make it up."

"Okay, can I let you rush to the front?" Qian Ai was terrified, but if he wanted to let the child stand in front of him, then he would rather go out and fight the ghost. "I will go to the door to lure the dream ghost. Once I see him leave Bed, you are responsible for letting the severed hand touch the badge."

After the hesitation disappeared, Qian Ai's gaze became firm.

"Remember, you can only let the severed hand go." Qian Ai had already walked to the door, turned around worryingly, and mouthed, "You are absolutely not allowed to go to his bed."

"Yes." Kuang Jinxin stood in a hidden place by the window, nodded solemnly, "Brother Qian, be careful too."

Heaven, in front of Wutian Pavilion.

The manager came back, but what he brought back was: "The boss is not here, let me take you to the place where you live first."

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng calculated the countermeasures along the way, racking their brains to figure out how to fool the boss first, and then wait for the opportunity to find the ghost spring. They did not expect happiness to come so suddenly.

The manager took them to a courtyard not far from Wutian Pavilion, told them to settle down temporarily, and said that they would be brought there when the boss came back. Before leaving, he issued repeated orders not to run around.

The original words are: "Heaven is an important place in the East Courtyard, not a place where you can mess around, so stay in the room for me."

This made people and the ghost very upset when they heard it, so the steward stepped forward, and the two of them and the ghost were eager to try.

However, Xu Wang and Wu Sheng's eagerness to try has a clear goal - to find ghost springs.The starving ghost's eagerness to try is purely to see the two of them ready to move, so it is natural to join in the fun.

Seeing this partner's expectant face from the corner of his eyes, Xu Wang felt a sudden thump in his heart.

The guilt that he had deliberately suppressed along the way became stronger again.

The starving ghost wants to play with two friends.

But the two friends were planning how to destroy the East Courtyard and how to get rid of all the ghosts in the East Courtyard, including him.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wang withdrew his leg that had already crossed the threshold, turned around and went back into the room, found a chair and sat down: "Xiao Hungry, have you ever thought about leaving the East Courtyard?"

Wu Sheng saw the posture of being impatient to go out one second, and having a long talk the next, and didn't make a sound.

The starving ghost was directly attracted by Xu Wang's question: "Leaving the East Courtyard? Why?"

Because if you stay, you will die!

Xu Wang gritted his teeth, and took a few deep breaths secretly to make his voice sound peaceful and natural: "I know you have just entered the heaven, and you are looking forward to a bright future. But if you think about it carefully, what's so good about the East Court. If you agree with us to enter the Heaven Realm, it is for us to lead the charge for the boss, if we don’t guarantee it, we will be wiped out tomorrow, how dangerous it is.”

The starving ghost looked at him puzzled: "If you put it this way, why do you want to enter the heaven even if you risk your life?"

Xu Wang's question was stopped by this sudden intuition of reverse questioning.

"Of course we have our reasons," Wu Sheng said calmly, "but it's definitely not working for the boss."

That's almost true, just less specific.

Xu Wang looked at Wu Sheng in surprise, but he was surprised that he told the truth, but surprised that what he said was almost exactly the same as what he was going to say.Two seconds later, the words will come out of his own mouth.

I don't want to lie to the starving ghost—it turns out that he and Wu Sheng are in the same mood.

The starved ghost stood there in a daze, not in astonishment or surprise, but just staring at them in a daze.

After a while, he finally spoke, his voice was low and serious: "I don't want to leave the east courtyard."

It was Xu Wang and Wu Sheng's turn to be stunned.

He didn't ask about their purpose, but jumped back to the previous topic.

Xu Wang understood that the starving ghost's words were tantamount to a clear rejection of the proposal of "leaving the East Courtyard".

"I know you've just entered the heaven and are looking forward to a bright future, but I'm not trying to hit you. Going into battle for the boss is a way of no return." Xu Wang put the facts and reason, and he has never persuaded anyone so earnestly in his life, "You said you like Dong Courtyard, because it is stable, but when you see the boss, you will no longer have a stable life."

The starving ghost squatted down, hugged his stomach and lowered his head, as if he was thinking or feeling wronged.

"It doesn't mean that you have to go to the west courtyard if you leave the east courtyard," Xu Wang thought he was hesitating, and continued to lobby, "You can leave this house, the world is vast outside, and there are many interesting and interesting things. It's good to be safe and comfortable. There are many places to go.”

"I came here from outside." The starved ghost stared at the ground and said quietly, "I died outside. The outside is vast, but I was bullied everywhere I floated. I was more hungry and bitter than when I was alive. ..."

"After arriving here, I really stopped wandering and settled down." He raised his head slightly, looked at Wu Sheng and Xu Wang, "I take this place as my home."

As eloquent as Xu Wang, quick thinking as Wu Sheng, he is speechless.

They can persuade him to get out of the fire pit, but why persuade him to leave the house?

This "good intention" is not tenable at all.

The starving ghost just squatted like that, looked at the two of them, and after staring at each other silently for a while, he suddenly asked, "What are you looking for?"

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng were shocked.

"I didn't think much about you looking here and there," the starved ghost muttered angrily, but he wasn't really angry, "Now you say you didn't come here to work for the boss, then you must be looking for something ,Right?"

Xu Wang looked at Wu Sheng, who nodded slightly.

"Ghost Spring." Xu Wangji whispered, "We want to find Ghost Spring."

The starving ghost tilted his head in doubt: "You can find it by following the ghost's aura."

Xu Wang was silent for a few seconds, then raised his eyes: "We can't smell ghosts."

"Aren't you a ghost?" The starving ghost tried his best to lower his voice, but he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"Also?" Wu Sheng heard something wrong.

The starving ghost sighed and looked at him: "You're not a ghost, I know it," he said and turned to Xu Wang, "but you're not either...how is this possible? When the underworld detects the spirit of ghosts, you obviously have it?"

"Wait," Xu Wang needed to clear his mind, "How do you know he isn't?"

The starved ghost blinked his eyes: "When testing the ghost's aura, he didn't have any at all. If I hadn't helped him, he would have revealed his secrets."

Xu Wang: "You helped him?!"

Wu Sheng: "You helped me?!"

The two spoke in unison, looking at each other——

Wu Sheng: "I thought you did it with your backstabbing, didn't you say to leave it to you?"

Xu Wang: "I mean leave it to me, but before I can make a move, you passed the test. I thought you used stationery."

Wu Sheng: "..."

Xu Wang: "..."

When will they be able to recover from the disease of "I thought" and "you thought" that just echoed in a circle, and then missed the correct answer perfectly...
