The Taste of Ghosts in the World

Qi Mu walked into an open Internet cafe on the side of the road. He rarely came to this kind of place, and the smoky environment inside made him a little uncomfortable.

"Isn't it just for one night, why do you have to come to the Internet cafe?" Qi Mu complained softly.

There was a power outage in their community tonight, but Feng Baisui insisted on using the computer.

"There will be a gang war in a while," Feng Baisui said.

"Are you still going to participate in group activities?"

Feng Baisui said expressionlessly: "That's not my number, you don't have to practice it if you don't want to."

"..."

Qi Mu opened a box to prevent others from seeing the automatic operation of the computer without anyone in front of it.

After playing for a while, Qi Mu found that there was really nothing to do, so he could only keep looking at Feng Baisui's computer, which was playing fiercely, with lights of various colors flickering on the screen, after searching carefully, the two of them The villain is not in the battle circle.

"Are you dead?" Qi Mu asked.

"No."

"Why don't you fight?"

"It's making money."

Qi Mu was surprised, "That gang war has nothing to do with you."

Feng Baisui replied calmly: "Make war fortune."

"..."

Just when the gang battle was about to end, there was a sudden commotion outside the box. Qi Mu poked his head out to look, and saw a large group of people discussing around a seat. He thought they were watching technology or something, but he heard someone say: "What should I do?" ? Do you want to call 120?"

Qi Mu turned his head and said to Feng Baisui, "Hurry up and finish it, it seems that something happened."

Feng Baisui responded indifferently.

Five minutes later, the two of them came out of the box, and the crowd was still there.Through the crowd, Qi Mu saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy sitting in front of the computer, moving his fingers quickly on the keyboard. On his screen was a PK screen of a game.

"What's so interesting about playing games?" Qi Mu was puzzled.

Suddenly the boy shouted, "Please! I don't want to play anymore! Stop! Stop!"

Qi Mu took a closer look and found that there was a silhouette of a figure on the boy's body. It wasn't that he wanted to move, but that person was moving, forcing him to wave his hands accordingly. The person's head gradually deviated forward, getting more and more Close to the computer screen, like a drug addict who sees white powder, it looks like two heads have grown out of the boy's neck.

"Playing games after death..." Qi Mu said to Feng Baisui, "Don't become like this."

Feng Baisui looked away, and said unhappily: "Don't insult me."

Qi Mu wanted to leave quickly, but the boy was so frightened that he cried. The people next to him went up to hold his hand, but they were rudely waved away.

"Stop... Please... let me stop..." The boy moved his hands involuntarily, tears running down his face, and even a bright red nosebleed flowed out from the forced struggle, dripping onto the front of his shirt.

Qi Mu couldn't bear it, and whispered: "Help him."

Feng Baisui folded his hands, "Go."

"It's inconvenient for me to be human, but that one is your kind, and they have a common language."

Feng Baisui snorted, floated to the boy's side, grabbed the ghost by the hair, and shouted in a low voice: "Come out."

The ghost struggled desperately, but couldn't break free, so it could only beg: "Let me play for a while... just play for a while!"

"Come out!" Feng Baisui increased the strength in his hand, and said coldly: "Don't make me say it a second time."

The ghost screamed and obediently walked away from the boy.

Feng Baisui glanced at him, and the ghost immediately begged for mercy: "Brother, let me go...don't dare again..."

Seeing that Feng Baisui ignored him, he quickly slipped away.

When the onlookers saw that the boy had stopped and there was no more excitement to watch, they dispersed in a rush, leaving him sitting there alone in a daze.

Qi Mu walked over, handed him a tissue, and said, "Just go back and take a hot bath."

"Thank you." The boy embarrassedly took the tissue and watched Qi Mu go out.

After school the next day, it was Qi Mu's turn to sweep the floor. By the time he finished everything, there were not many people left in the teaching area.

He hurriedly picked up his schoolbag and left, but when he passed by the flower bed, he tripped and looked down, it turned out to be a pair of human feet.

Qi Mu was startled, and looked towards the flower bed, where a boy was sitting curled up, the one who was upper bodyed in the Internet cafe yesterday.

The boy saw Qi Mu and smiled shyly, "It's you, so we are in the same school."

Qi Mu asked him, "What are you doing in there?"

The boy lowered his head and whispered, "I don't want to go home..."

"Then you go on, I'm going home."

Qi Mu raised his leg to leave, but he grabbed his schoolbag.

"Can I go to your house?" The boy raised his head and looked at him pitifully.

Pulling his hand away with a straight face, Qi Mu said, "Didn't the teacher teach you not to go to a stranger's house casually?"

"You helped me yesterday, so you are not a stranger."

"It's not worth the effort."

The boy refused to let go, "What's your name?"

Qi Mu had no choice but to say cheekily: "I don't like to leave a name for my good deeds."

The boy stood up from the flower bed, took Qi Mu's hand and shook it, "My name is Jiang Xiaoyue, we know each other now."

"..."

Qi Mu turned around and left, Jiang Xiaoyue followed behind him persistently.

"May I go to your house?"

"My family has nothing to eat."

"It's okay, I'm not hungry."

"My house is far from here."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of distance."

Qi Mu had no choice but to stop and ask him, "Why do you want to go to my house?"

Jiang Xiaoyue wrung his fingers, bowed his head and said, "Because there is nowhere to go...I used to go to Internet cafes, but after encountering that incident yesterday, I dare not go again."

"Why don't you go home?"

He lowered his head even lower, "I don't want to go back..."

"My home is not a kindergarten."

Jiang Xiaoyue hurriedly said: "I'll only stay for a few hours, and I'll go back after the evening self-study. You are busy with your work, and I will never disturb you!"

Qi Mu had no choice but to continue walking, Jiang Xiaoyue chased after him and asked him, "What's your name?"

"...Qi Mu."

"Which Qi? Which Mu?"

Qi Mu suddenly remembered the seedlings in the corn field, so he remained silent.

"Then I'll call it whatever I want," Jiang Xiaoyue said.

After finally arriving home, Feng Baisui saw Qi Mu's tail behind him, and asked with an unkind expression, "What is this?"

"Student, you must follow me back for dinner." Qi Mu replied casually.

Feng Baisui was not very happy, "If he wants to come, you will let him come?"

Qi Mu rolled his eyes and looked at him, "I let you come if you didn't want to."

"I'm different."

"Why is it different?"

Feng Baisui couldn't answer.

Jiang Xiaoyue poked his head out from behind Qi Mu, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"My dog." Qi Mu said calmly.

Feng Baisui blushed beside him.

"You even have a dog!" Jiang Xiaoyue saw the golden retriever, and ran over to stroke its head. The golden retriever was sleeping soundly, without realizing it.

"What do you want to eat?" Qi Mu asked him.

"You can do whatever you want, you don't have to worry about me." Jiang Xiaoyue rubbed his head embarrassedly.

In the end, Qi Mu made fried rice with eggs, and Jiang Xiaoyue ate it happily, "It's delicious! You can cook."

Qi Mu said blankly: "Only this."

"That's great too, and I don't know it at all."

After eating, Qi Mu threw a book to Jiang Xiaoyue and watched TV by himself on the sofa.

Feng Baisui asked Qi Mu: "Is he still not leaving?"

Qi Mu said without raising his head, "Let's go after self-study."

Jiang Xiaoyue read the book in silence for a while, then looked at Qi Mu, and asked him hesitantly, "Uh... what happened last night, do you know what it is?"

Qi Mu raised his eyes, "Why do you ask me what happened to you?"

"I... don't know anything... I just feel that my body is out of my control, and I'm very scared..." After thinking for a while, he whispered, "Are you bewitched?"

"You, a high school student in the 21st century, still believe this?"

Jiang Xiaoyue nodded seriously and said, "Well, I believe it."

Qi Mu thought that he was so timid, so he just frightened him so that he would not dare to pester him anymore, so he said, "You were possessed by a ghost last night."

"Really?" Jiang Xiaoyue widened his eyes, "Can you see them?"

"Yes." Qi Mu said, "Do you believe it or not? There is one in this room now."

"I believe it." Jiang Xiaoyue nodded vigorously, looked at Qi Mu with admiration, "You are so amazing!"

"..."

Jiang Xiaoyue looked around curiously: "Where is he? Why can't I see him?"

Feng Baisui floated in front of him, and said coolly: "You will see it when you die."

Qi Mu didn't achieve his goal of intimidating, so he simply ignored him.

Jiang Xiaoyue stayed until 09:30, then thanked Qi Mu and wanted to go back.

Before leaving, Qi Mu told him: "Take it as a joke about being able to see ghosts, and don't tell others."

Jiang Xiaoyue nodded, "I won't tell anyone!"

When school was over the next afternoon, a classmate called Qi Mu by name, "Qi Mu, someone is looking for you!"

Qi Mu went out to see that it was Jiang Xiaoyue.

With red eyes, he begged, "Can I go to your house again tonight?"

Seeing him like this, Qi Mu couldn't refuse, thinking that he had been there once anyway, and it would be okay to go again, so he agreed.

When he got home, Feng Baisui saw Jiang Xiaoyue, his complexion immediately turned bad, "Are you really going to be a nanny?"

"It's just a classmate, don't be so stingy."

Jiang Xiaoyue asked Qi Mu: "Are you talking to a ghost?"

"No." Qi Mu glanced at Feng Baisui, "It's a dog."

Jiang Xiaoyue ran to pet the golden retriever again, and then asked Qi Mu, "Why does your dog like to sleep so much?"

"Because it knows how to enjoy life."

……

After dinner, Qi Mu asked Jiang Xiaoyue, "Tell me the truth, why don't you want to go home?"

Mentioning this, Jiang Xiaoyue's eyes turned red again, and he whispered: "There is only my mother at home. She is very strict with me. She doesn't allow me to do anything unrelated to studies, and she doesn't even let me participate in school group activities. Except eating , sleeping, just studying, and she asked me to stay within the top ten of the grade, otherwise she would beat me and not let me eat..."

Jiang Xiaoyue was one level lower than Qi Mu. He knew that these few days were just when the grades came out, so he said clearly, "You didn't do well in the exam this time?"

Jiang Xiaoyue nodded, found a report card from his schoolbag, and spread it out for him to read.

Grade No. 12, in a grade of more than 1000 students, it is considered a very good result.

Qi Mu frowned, "Your mother is not satisfied with this?"

"She's very angry..." Jiang Xiaoyue rolled up his sleeves, revealing the intertwined red marks on his arms.

Abnormal...Qi Mu slandered.

At this time, the father and daughter who killed the ghost came back from the outside, and at a glance they saw that there was an extra living person in the house.

"Who is this? Have you never seen it before!" The decapitated female ghost raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiaoyue.

Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly felt that someone was watching him, but when he looked back, he couldn't see anyone.

Qi Mu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, they didn't mean anything malicious."

Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly realized: "Is it your ghost? Did they see me? Are they saying hello to me?"

"Well... I saw it." Qi Mu casually pointed to the decapitated female ghost, "It's right there."

Jiang Xiaoyue stood up flattered, and said politely towards that position: "Hello, my name is Jiang Xiaoyue, and I'm Qi Mu's junior. Excuse me."

The female ghost was instantly killed, and excitedly circled around him, muttering: "It's so cute! Finally a normal child came to our family."

Qi Mu squinted at her, "What do you mean?"

The female ghost glanced at Feng Baisui, "Looking at that face every day...will cause constipation..."

Jiang Xiaoyue asked Qi Mu cautiously: "Are they talking? What did they say?"

"Say it's nice to meet you." Qi Mu said nonsense with his eyes closed.

Jiang Xiaoyue blushed with excitement, "I'm glad to see you too."

The female ghost was killed in seconds again.
