The Taste of Ghosts in the World

"Empty number?! How is it possible?" Qi Buyang stared at Xiaomei and asked, "Did you dial the wrong number?"

"No way..." Xiaomei looked at the number carefully again, "I recite it very well, it's the right number..."

"Aren't you his girlfriend? Why is the number given to you empty?"

Xiaomei was about to cry, "I don't know... I called before I was admitted to the hospital, and I was able to get through at that time..."

Feng Baisui suddenly said to Qi Buyang: "Ask her, where does Hu Yaohui live?"

Xiaomei entered her boyfriend's address on the phone, looked up and asked them: "Ah Hui... Is something wrong? I was watching TV recently, and three people were killed...all of them are about the same age as Ahui..."

"The police will notify you if something goes wrong."

Seeing that Feng Baisui had gone out, Qi Buyang didn't have time to comfort her, so he left this sentence in a hurry.

After being told by Xiaomei, Feng Baisui was even more worried. If the murderer really targeted people with spiritual vision ability, then Qi Mu...

They rushed to Hu Yaohui's house and stood at the door, but they didn't have the key to get in.

Qi Buyang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Should I knock on the door?"

"What door are you knocking on?"

As Feng Baisui spoke, half of his body was already buried in the door panel.

The space in the room was very small and filled with all kinds of sundries. I looked around but didn't see Hu Yaohui.Turning around the living room is the bedroom, but saw a person lying on his back on the bed, it was Qi Mu.

Floating over to push him, the other party didn't respond, and when his fingers touched his face, it was cold!

Feng Baisui immediately frowned, paused, and carefully breathed out his breath.

Fortunately... Although the breathing is very weak, at least there is breathing.

I tried to wake him up again, but it didn't work. Qi Mu didn't move at all, and with his cold body temperature, he was almost no different from a corpse.

After a rough inspection, there was no obvious trauma on his body. He opened his sleeves, and Feng Baisui's pupils shrank suddenly——

On that smooth arm, there was actually a row of freshly burnt cigarette scars!The scar was dazzlingly red, and it was obvious that it had just been scalded.

Qi Buyang and Luo Lang who were waiting outside saw the door opened and Feng Baisui came out with the missing person in his arms. Qi Mu seemed to be asleep and seemed to be fine.

Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he found that Feng Baisui's face was extremely terrifying, as if he was about to kill someone.

"What's wrong?" Qi Buyang asked.

Feng Baisui didn't speak, but just looked down at Qi Mu's sleeping face.

Qi Buyang stretched out his hand to take Qi Mu over, "You are not visible now, it's not good to be seen by others."

The other party remained motionless, and had no intention of handing over.

"You..." Qi Buyang wanted to persuade him again.

Luo Lang stepped forward, took out a talisman paper and stuffed it into Qi Mu's pocket, and said to Feng Baisui, "Ordinary people will not be able to see him with naked eyes for five minutes."

Feng Baisui nodded slightly to him, hugged Qi Mu tightly in his arms, then turned and left without saying a word.

"Let's go too." Luo Lang put his arms around Qi Buyang's shoulders.

"But……"

"The matter is not over yet, don't you find that Qi Mu's appearance is very strange?"

Qi Buyang nodded, "It's a bit strange..."

When they came out of the building, Luo Lang tilted his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a figure running out of the corner of the wall behind him, looked around with his head, and then quickly walked into the corridor.

He retracted his gaze and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Qi Buyang was worried about Qi Mu, and after Feng Baisui returned, he went to their house with Luo Lang.

When Feng Baisui came to open the door, Qi Buyang saw a round soft object in his hand.

"what is this?"

"Hot water bottle."

"...If I remember correctly, it should be summer now, right?"

Feng Baisui raised his eyes and said, "Qi Mu's body temperature is too low, he will get sick."

Luo Lang chuckled, "Can't you just hug him?"

"...I don't have a temperature." Feng Baisui said expressionlessly.

"Where's Qi Mu?" Qi Buyang asked him.

The other party pointed to the bedroom.

They went in and saw that Qi Mu was still lying on the bed quietly as before, wrapped tightly by a thick quilt.Walking over to touch his face, even so, the body temperature has not returned to normal.

Qi Buyang can finally understand Feng Baisui's worry, if this continues, even if he wakes up, he will suffer from the root cause of his illness.

At this time, Feng Baisui came in with a filled hot water bottle, pulled away the quilt to cover Qi Mu, and then turned around and asked, "Why can't he wake up?"

Qi Buyang asked him to pull Qi Mu's arm out and put it on his wrist. Although the pulse was beating very weakly, at least his life could continue.

"His current state is very similar to the last time he left his soul..."

"What do you mean?"

Qi Buyang frowned, "It means that his soul is probably no longer in his body."

"Not in the body?! Where else?" Feng Baisui glanced down at the small bamboo tube hanging around his neck, and suddenly thought that Qi Mu could call him by this, so could it also be called Qi Mu?

Luo Lang also noticed the bamboo tube and offered to show him. Feng Baisui was silent for a moment, took off the necklace and handed it to him.

Holding the small bamboo tube with his fingers and looking carefully for a while, he asked Feng Baisui: "Who gave this to you?"

"None of your business."

"Okay." Luo Lang was not angry, threw the necklace back to him, and said by the way: "This formation only works on spirit bodies, just like you."

Feng Baisui's heart moved, if Qi Mu had already left his soul, he would become a spirit body, that is, he could use this formation.

So he immediately tried to read Qi Mu's name into the bamboo tube, but the bamboo tube only moved, and there was no other response.

A little disappointed, Feng Baisui tried again, but it still didn't work.

Qi Buyang guessed: "Could it be that his soul can't come here for some reason, or...is it gone?"

His heart sank, Feng Baisui turned his head to look at the sleeping Qi Mu, but didn't reply.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and a trace of uneasiness emerged, but no one said it out.

After standing for a while, Qi Buyang said, "I'll go back and check the family's ancient books first to see if there is any record in this regard."

Feng Baisui glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said two words politely: "No."

After they left, he took Qi Mu's hand, and gently stroked the still red skin with his fingertips, with an extremely stern expression on his face.

To Feng Baisui, everyone else is an outsider, only Qi Mu is an insider, even a treasure that should be protected and inviolable. His heart shrank suddenly, and an unquenchable anger burned in his chest.

He only hoped that Qi Mu had already fallen asleep when he was scalded, at least he didn't have to endure the pain of scorched flesh.

Qi Buyang carefully looked up the classics collected in the study, even not letting go of any annotations, but he still got nothing.

Luo Lang refused to help, he always wandered in leisurely to take a look, said a few sarcastic remarks like "things that are really useful are not in books", and then wandered out again, the cook of Qi's family had already prepared fresh cooking for him It was his favorite food when he lived here, and the old servants still remembered it.

Feng Baisui also asked old man Zhang to see it later, but the old man said he should give him some time to think of a way.

Qi Mu was still in a deep sleep, Feng Baisui changed the hot water bottle every few hours, and held him in the bed all night to keep warm, but his body temperature did not show any signs of warming up. I tried to feel his breathing, and felt a slight movement before I could feel relieved.

This kind of life lasted for two days, Feng Baisui had no choice but to think of the incompetent guardian.

It is easy to find a crow, as long as it comes to wine, it will show up immediately.Feng Baisui asked him to visit Qi Mu, and the Yaoxian asked, "What's wrong with the kid from Qi Zong's family?"

"It seems to be from the soul."

"Leaving the soul again?"

Having said that, he had already walked to Qi Mu's bed, Ya threw the wine bottle to Feng Baisui, put his palm on Qi Mu's forehead, and said after a while: "He is not from the soul, the soul is still in the body."

Feng Baisui was slightly stunned, a little disbelieving, "The Qi family said that his soul can no longer be felt in the body."

"Which kid said that?" Crow curled his lips, "That's because he doesn't have enough morality, so he can't feel it. Little Qi Mu's soul is definitely still in his body, but it's suppressed by something, or it's hidden Look, he is still breathing, and if the soul leaves the body, his breathing will stop."

"So his soul is fine?" Feng Baisui suddenly felt hopeful after believing Yaoxian's words, "Then when will he wake up?"

"When will you wake up?" Ya looked down at Qi Mu, "I won't wake up for the time being."

"why?"

"Didn't you just say that?" Crow said impatiently, "His soul was suppressed by something, or it was hidden."

"What's the way to save it?"

The crow shook his head exaggeratedly, "Don't you humans have a saying that you have to tie the bell to untie the bell. I can't see what kind of tricks he has, so there is no way." Speaking of this, he said with great interest. Blinking eyes: "But I'm really interested in that guy who does things. Generally speaking, people who can do this are not human..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door, Crow snatched the wine bottle in disappointment, pushed open the window and jumped out, leaving a sentence: "I will come to see the kid when he wakes up."

Feng Baisui turned around to open the door, and it was old man Zhang who came, he stepped in and said as he walked, "I thought about it, I have already notified Xiao Qi, I will talk about it when everyone arrives."

Qi Buyang came very quickly, old man Zhang was a little surprised when he saw Luo Lang behind him, "Mr. Luo, why are you here?"

Qi Buyang replied on his behalf: "Mr. Luo is now living in our house."

"Live in Qi's house? Where's your grandfather?"

"Going back to my hometown. You also know Mr. Luo?"

"I don't know many people your grandfather knows." Old man Zhang nodded to Luo Lang.

The latter replied calmly.

Feng Baisui was impatient and told him to speak quickly.

The old man Zhang turned his attention back to Qi Mu, stepped forward, breathed his breath, and said: "Sure enough, our judgment was wrong before. Qi Mu's soul was not separated from the body, but was suppressed in the body. It’s very deep, and it’s normal not to feel it for a while.”

Feng Baisui had already learned this from the crow's mouth just now, so he just folded his hands and listened without opening his mouth.

In contrast, Qi Buyang was quite shocked, "Suppress the soul in the body? Why haven't I heard of it? Is there such a method?"

"Of course, there are many ways." Luo Lang played with his hair and answered him leisurely: "For example, his soul falls into a certain consciousness, or creates an illusion to trap his soul, or destroys his soul." Without the will to survive, the soul will die slowly...so I said that the really useful things are not in the book."

"Mr. Luo is right. There are many methods." Old man Zhang raised his hand and stopped Qi Buyang who was about to answer the conversation. He looked directly at Luo Lang in front of him with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "But... you can use these methods. There are very few people, I have only seen one person at this age."
