resentment resuscitation
Chapter 24
There was no one on the second floor.
"Try what?" Mai Dingdong dropped his knees to the ground and straddled him in an awkward posture.For a while, it was not even clear who was hot.
"The grievances are gone, there is no need to try again."
The figures in his vision were blurred and distorted, and it was difficult for his brain to process information. He was so overwhelmed that he would rather pass out.
The corner of his lips was rubbed hard by his thumb, and he heard one of the many Zhong Mozhi say something.
The blood in the whole body was concentrated in places where it didn't need to be concentrated, and the deep voice was hard for him to distinguish clearly.
"I can't hear you clearly." Mai Dingdong grabbed the hand that was touching his face, and let go of it instantly in disgust, "You have a fever, it's hot."
The chest under his palm vibrated with a muffled laugh.
Mai Dingdong's expression was uneasy, and he clamped his legs hard to warn him.Supporting it with one hand, the other hand scratched in front of him a few times, groped onto Zhong Mozhi's face, rubbed his fingers relentlessly across the brow bone and the bridge of the nose, found the other's lips and pressed them firmly.
He bent down and stared at the golden color, and asked fiercely, "Are you laughing at me?"
"You kiss me if you are not polite, how dare you laugh at me?"
His sight was so scattered that he didn't know where he was floating in the void, his words were panting, and his hot breath was even more scattered and rapid, Zhong Mozhi couldn't laugh when he was blowing.
Not to mention the place where it came close because of possession.
Zhong Mozhi lay obediently on his back, slowly bent his legs, and put his palm on Mai Dingdong's knee, only his Adam's apple revealed his thoughts.
Spit out a few more syllables.
Still can't hear clearly.Pressing the palm on the lips, the breath of the other party's words leaked out from between the fingers, Mai Dingdong leaned lower, frowned and turned his head, slightly let go of his hands and brought his ears to him, "What are you talking about, speak up."
"sorry."
"Yeah." He nodded in satisfaction.
"you're uncomfortable."
"Yes." Mai Dingdong pinched Zhong Mozhi's lips irritably, "So stop talking and take me downstairs."
The door closed at some point, and the hand on the knee was suddenly withdrawn and fell on the shoulder.
The world is spinning and the positions are swapping.
Sinking into the carpet, the person holding him down was hard and unhuman.
The light from the chandelier brushed against the other person's hair, and under the backlight, his eyes appeared brighter, faintly making one feel the urge to shrink back.
Mai Dingdong called to stop in his heart, but his throat was so dry that it almost hurt, and he could only see the other party gradually lowering his voice.
The softness fell between the eyebrows, and he heard a voice say: "Just trust me."
All words were swallowed up.
The first thought in his mind was not the astonishment of being kissed by a man again, but the contempt for this man's bad behavior of making mistakes while apologizing.
Affected until now, I just rely on willpower to bear it, and the tossing of my lips at this moment is like a long drought and a cold rain.
The brain, which was smothered in a ball of heat, gradually woke up.
Mai Dingdong raised his eyes at a seemingly sticky distance, and finally his voice was not so sticky, "It's not over yet."
"Yeah." As good as good, he posted it again with a smile, this time there was no comforting taste, and he looked a little fierce.
Mai Dingdong was not breathing well, and his newly awakened brain became confused due to lack of oxygen. He crossed his forearms in front of him, and the other party reluctantly backed away.
"I mean, the world isn't over yet."
Word by word, gnashing of teeth.
Not only his cheeks were flushed and his voice was unsteady, although Zhong Mozhi was not panting for breath, his chest heaved and heaved even when he was satisfied, and he lost it with ease.
This discovery made Mai Dingdong a little proud, and swallowed the moisture from his lower lip.He moved his fingers and raised his arm to grab something that made him uncomfortable.
"..."
Mai Dingdong tilted his head, and fell silent again.
He heard Zhong Mozhi utter a word inscrutablely.
"Ah."
cotton.
It seems to be back in the ice and snow of the monastery, surrounded by white, but the feet are cotton.
In a trance, everything in the field of vision disappeared, and suddenly gathered into a solid body.
Not a monastery, not a bathing town.
The black mist covering the sky slowly dissipated, and the tumbling lava and icy coldness existed in a space.
"Where is this place?" Mai Dingdong's legs trembled, and the comfort that could almost draw out his soul hadn't dissipated, and he was still wearing slippers from the bathing city.
He quickly lowered his head to make sure that the only remaining trousers were still there, and when he saw that it was pulled up properly, he looked around in relief.
Walking forward carefully, the black and red rock seemed to have consciousness, shaking the lava aside to prevent the strange visitor from being burned.The oncoming wind and snow also brushed past him and blew to the side.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, but with more contacts, Mai Dingdong can say with certainty that this is the world of fried ghosts.
A few seconds ago, after Zhong Mozhi raised his chin and swallowed, he seemed to be extremely excited and satisfied, and his whole body instantly turned into a black mist——
Then he showed up here.
Obviously guessed right.Mai Dingdong stopped on the top of a rock, waiting for the red shadow to approach rapidly.
He knew this person, the fried ghost who stayed with Zhong Mozhi that day.
The woman has a beautiful face. She shook off her long curly hair on her shoulders and asked in a daze, "How can you come here."
"It should be...he brought me here." Mai Dingdong scratched his face and pursed his lips reflexively—it was red and painful from being bitten.
"Oh—" Hu Yue stretched out her voice thoughtfully, and passed her hand in front of Mai Dingdong, "The last time we met was not very pleasant, I'm sorry."
Mai Dingdong answered vaguely, and shook hands with Hu Yue vaguely.She's right, she did make him unhappy before, so there's no need to pretend she doesn't mind.
"Where is this?" Guiltyly smoothing out the folds of his clothes, he tried his best to forget the memory of being rubbed just now, and his feet were completely surrounded by molten lava.
"Family."
"Family?"
As far as the eye can see, not a single blade of grass grows.
Huyue knew it, opened her skirt and squatted down, lowered her head and touched the extremely hot liquid with her fingertips, "It will change. What if the Lord is courting you?"
"Please, courtship?"
"In human terms... love?"
Mai Dingdong laughed awkwardly, unable to refute self-deception.The body temperature has completely returned to normal, but the foreplay of recovery is embarrassing.
He had never seen such a difficult person.It's just that I accidentally pinched it in a panic, and then I was pressed and gnawed for a long time.
A whistle sounded from some distance away, and Hu Yue got up numbly, apologizing to Mai Dingdong: "There is resentment overflowing, I need to leave. If we see you next time, I hope the Lord has succeeded."
She blinked slyly and disappeared in an instant.
Tired of picking out the other party's ambiguous words, Mai Dingdong rubbed his forehead twice, stood silently in the middle of the sea of flames, and waited for Zhong Mozhi to regain his calm before taking him out.
One second, two seconds.
On the count of three, time and space are distorted, and the field of view changes.The world of resentment also completely dissipated.
There were several bangs, and with Shi Wu's cry of pain, a series of people fell to the ground one after another. He was pressed by his arms, and he wailed and got up. His movements were too fast, and the back of his head hit the coffee table. The teacup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere.
Mai Dingdong quickly raised his foot to avoid it, and then stomped his foot twice. It wasn't the bathing pan, but his sneakers.The touch of the sofa under the buttocks is very reassuring.
The sun has returned to outside the house, and all outsiders have been dumped through the cracks in the collapse of time and space.The real clock seems to have only gone a few steps, but everyone has experienced a close escape, with exhaustion.
"All the people who are pulled in will leave near the carrier of resentment." Lu Shiyan helped someone up and explained to Mai Dingdong, not forgetting to pull up the phone from the desk competently, and said to the other end: "Everyone has already come out , Call the support staff to come over."
The door was locked by Tang Ge, and he leaned against the wall with his arms around his chest, and he still looked serious to the outside world, "Please wait a while before leaving."
Although the people who survived the catastrophe were noisy, no one refuted him - most of them still knew how they escaped.
Mai Dingdong held the crystal ball in his hand, it was no longer dusty and worn out.
"Monastery?" Twisting the wrist twice, the white flashes in the glass like snow, falling on the small buildings.
Mai Dingdong leaned his forehead against the glass and stared in a daze, but was frightened by the eyes that appeared on the opposite side of the glass ball.The man flicked the glass with his finger, hitting the crystal ball on Mai Dingdong's forehead.
He put it down abruptly, intending to give Zhong Mozhi a vicious look, but his eyes turned halfway and flew to the corners of Zhong Mozhi's lips and his Adam's apple.
Memories surfaced, and he froze for a moment, Mai Dingdong turned his head, pretending to look at the scenery outside the house.
"Angry?"
The chest was shaking against Mai Dingdong's knees, Zhong Mozhi squatted in front of the sofa, raised his chin to tease him, "I will ask you next time."
I don't know if it's a kiss or something else.
The tips of Mai Dingdong's ears trembled twice, and the pink rose again unconsciously, thinking that this man would be very difficult to deal with after losing his expensive vest.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Following the sound, Lu Shiyan had already opened the window and was blowing smoke there.
He whispered to Zhong Mo, "The other person from the headquarters is very busy, you should leave as soon as possible."
Someone asked him for a cigarette, Lu Shiyan handed him one and then turned around, pretending that he had never seen Zhagui come these days.
"You two have such a bad relationship?" Mai Dingdong lowered his eyes, looking into each other's eyes in puzzlement.
Zhong Mozhi took Mai Dingdong's hand unhurriedly, helped him twist the ring and put it on, nodded slightly, "I really want to leave for a while. Huyue is in trouble."
"gone?"
"Yeah." Looking up, Zhong Mozhi was silent for a while, raised his hand to button the first button of Mai Dingdong's shirt, and then gently pinched his chin and said seriously: "Trust me. You can call me anytime. .”
"Um..."
Mai Dingdong stared at him, couldn't help thinking of the land of flames called "home", nodded heavily and added: "Come to my house as a guest anytime."
"Not just as a guest."
Before Mai Dingdong could react, the hand that was on the knee slipped and landed on the heel of the leg. The other party stood up, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Continue to do that."
Mai Dingdong's lips moved, and his whole body trembled because of the sudden kiss on his earlobe.He hissed and wanted to push, but the opponent stepped back first, jumped easily, and squatted on the edge of the window in a blink of an eye.
The stern side face was stained with smog, the high-level wind was strong, and his hair was blown behind his ears. He leaned back his head and looked at Mai Dingdong, "See you soon."
As several people exclaimed, he let go of his fingers and jumped down lightly.
"Fuck!" The man with the cigarette in his mouth hastily leaned out halfway to look for him, but he couldn't find a trace of him.
Mai Dingdong weighed the crystal ball twice and remained silent.
For some reason, compared to the grudge exorcist's fear and guard against Zhagui, he felt that Zhagui was quite lonely and innocent.Obviously doing things to clear up grievances, but doing it alone can't get anyone's thanks.
Not to mention those ambiguous actions, it was Zhagui who taught him how to maximize his abilities.
His thoughts were interrupted by the fine mist.He raised his head, only to realize that there were small shower devices installed in the four corners of the room.
A pill was handed over before him, and Mai Dingdong took it casually.
"Eat it." Shi Wu said in a low voice, and he had already chewed it into pieces and swallowed it.
Without much doubt, Mai Dingdong stuffed it into his mouth.There is no bitterness as imagined, but a little bit of sweetness.
The noisy crowd raised their heads to look for the source of the mist, and Lu Shiyan put out the smoke and closed the window, silently waiting for the noise to subside.
After a while, those who didn't swallow the sugar pill began to feel dizzy, their lips tingled, and finally collapsed on the ground.
Tang Ge twisted the door open, and turned sideways to let the person who had been waiting outside the door walk in lightly.
Several staff members were standing busy, and Mai Dingdong couldn't sit alone on the sofa, so he simply tiptoed to the door, curiously waiting for the people in the room to be moved out.
"Where are you taking them?" He asked Shi Wu in a low voice.
"It will be very troublesome if the existence of the wraith is spread." Shi Wu pointed his index finger upstairs, a little proudly, "Guide the memory and then release it."
"So give me medicine while I'm on the field?"
"Yes. Where did you come from? Aren't you afraid of encountering these things?" Shi Wu raised his eyebrows, and asked hesitantly: "It's weird, I obviously feel that you have no ability at all."
"Scared. But just accept it."
Lu Shiyan waved in the distance, Shi Wu suddenly shrunk his neck, his face wrinkled together, he rubbed the tip of his nose and obediently went over to be scolded.
There was no one inside or outside the room.
Mai Dingdong was extremely exhausted after turning away two wraith worlds.
There was no need to sit and wait for someone to arrange. He simply rubbed his sore waist and walked downstairs, lazily nodding to the person who poked his head out to look at him.
One person suddenly said with admiration: "How did you do it?"
"Huh?" Mai Dingdong stopped in front of the glass door, tilting his head in confusion.
The girl sniffed him from his feet to his neck, pushed his glasses and said mysteriously, "It's amazing. The kid was still sarcastic a few days ago, why did he speak so softly to you today."
"Time witch?"
"Ang, there's a man with a stinky face in gold buttons." She waved her hand, and a group of people swarmed behind her, "They all bet that you wouldn't be able to get out, but it turns out that you're in pretty good shape."
Everyone said he was incompetent, Mai Dingdong shrugged, "Do I really look weak?"
"It's not called weak." She pondered for a while, and changed her words, "Although she is handsome, she is not aggressive at all. I like it."
"Do you like farts?" The people behind laughed at her.
"Shut up, you. Lu Shiyan personally invited him back to join the division of resentment, can he die easily? You deserve it if you lose all the money you bet."
"Yo, you're pretty good at playing with the wind."
Several people were about to quarrel.Mai Dingdong raised his feet in a lack of interest, just wanting to go home quickly and fall into bed.
As soon as he turned around, his nose bumped, he let go of his hand with a muffled grunt, and the crystal ball rolled to the opponent's feet.
In an instant, the staff who had been watching the bustle retreated like a tide, as if the sound just now was just an illusion.
The girl tapped the keyboard as if to cover up, and called Wen Ge cautiously.
Mai Dingdong leaned over to pick it up, but who knew that the high-heeled shoes stepped directly on the crystal ball, and even crushed it twice without respect.
"This thing can't be taken away. Where did you come from?" The male voice drawled and condescended, "Why didn't you pull it over to erase the memory."
Mai Dingdong became more and more sleepy, so he idly tried to compete, and simply nodded and smiled: "I've eliminated it, so let's go."
The slender arms were stretched across the front, "Did I call you to go, people in small places are really ignorant."
"Otherwise?" Rarely arguing with others, Mai Dingdong was a little sullen by this person's hostility.
"Clarify your identity. Where are you going to steal this thing?"
"Steal? I'm sorry if I can't take it, please take it. I just want to go back to sleep."
"Huh? Pretty straightforward."
The atmosphere in the offices on both sides did not dare to come out.
When Mai Dingdong turned to the left, he turned to the left, and when he turned to the right, he turned to the right. It was obvious that he was determined to let his "thief" be punished on the spot.
"Let him go." Lu Shiyan tidied up Shi Wu, and trotted over, "This new grudge-removing master is not an outsider."
"Oh——" the other party moved away with a playful smile, and kicked the crystal ball to Mai Dingdong's shoe, "Then just make it clear. I don't have much ability, and my temper is not small."
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know what kind of moves he used, suddenly the evil wind in the corridor blew up, and the skin was hot and cold.
Mai Dingdong panicked.It's clear that this person made his own conclusions when he came up, and his behavior was not at all polite.Judging by the expressions of the staff next to him, he should be a formidable person.
Depressed and wronged, he didn't want to make a fuss, so he just walked forward in silence.
From a distance, the person could still hear the words "small place" and "newcomer", so Mai Dingdong directly covered his ears.
Walking out of the monastery, the flickering neon lights of the city are nostalgic.
He raised his head and stared blankly at a moth the size of a fingernail.The moth flew around the pole twice, and then flung itself on the cold white lamp.
Under the lights, the owner of the fried food stall chatted enthusiastically with people.The moths were still thrashing about, with no end in sight.
He couldn't smell the fried food, so he sniffed dryly, regained his senses and slowly tightened his coat.
After leaving my hometown for a long time, I suddenly felt a little lonely in my heart.Spread out the palm, the ring finger is covered with a pure black ring, and two peach wood beads are wrapped around the wrist.
If it was late autumn before, my grandmother would have started knitting woolen gloves for him, for fear that he would not be able to wear them in winter and would suffer from frostbite.
Standing alone on the sidewalk, he felt in a daze like a student who walked out of the examination room and found that no relatives were waiting to care about him.
I could still be happy by smelling delicious food, but now I lost my sense of smell unconsciously.
The nose was sour, and the circles around the eyes were red.Mai Dingdong quickly raised his chin to wipe off the mist, thinking about calling the car home slowly.
He hated those foul-smelling resentments even more.
The shoulder was tapped.Mai Dingdong didn't bother to look back, and wiped his eyes in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, Tang Ge and the people just now are from the headquarters, and they have a big temper. I taught you a lesson."
"Too lazy to worry about it."
Finding that the person was in a bad mood, Lu Shiyan didn't ask any more questions, threw the key to get off the car and said, "Send you back."
The car drove very smoothly, and when it stopped at the door of the bookstore, Mai Dingdong almost closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Go back and have a good rest for a few days, and do some things of your own. I'll come to you again in a while."
Mai Dingdong unbuttoned his seat belt in bewilderment, and before getting out of the car, he heard the other party sincerely thank him: "Thank you for Shi Wu's matter. Thank you for giving us the dagger for safekeeping."
"It's okay." He waved his hands indiscriminately, and he fell on the door in two steps, slapping the black beast out with all his strength.
I don't remember anything about what happened afterwards, I only know that I fell into a long, sound sleep.
In the dream, he was still the peach tree.
It's just that the person praying this time is an unfamiliar face.
The leaves rustled, and a piece of untightened gold-letter red ribbon fell with the wind, leisurely falling into the palm of the man.He raised his arm and retied the ribbon.
Mai Dingdong flinched a little, feeling that this stranger was somewhat different from the villagers.If I insist on making it clear, the praying man is asking for the blessing of the tree of blessings, and he—
Just this tree.
The hand that landed on the branch did not withdraw, but pinched a leaf, and the thumb slowly rubbed on the veins of the leaf. The human temperature was transmitted, and the hot peach wood hurriedly let the leaf fall off.
"It's so tender." The man hid the leaf in the palm of his hand, raised his eyelids to look at it wantonly, and even put his palm on the bark.
His gaze, which explored Sato, completely overlapped with that in the bathing city.
Mai Dingdong shook the leaves and said dryly: "Hands are so hot, you are burning."
"What burns?"
"Ah!" A carp sat upright, and the thin blanket on his body slipped off. Mai Dingdong held his forehead and panted heavily, and it took him a long time to recover.
The beast squatted on the side of the single bed, grinding its teeth, "What are you dreaming about?"
"No sweet dreams."
"Oh—" the black beast raised its finger teasingly, and elongated its voice in an unclear manner.
Looking at the past along the line of sight, Mai Dingdong's cheeks were red with blood, and he pulled the thin blanket over his legs in embarrassment, "something happened."
"whats the matter?"
It's not a crime, and he doesn't like to hide it, but his eyes fell on the face of the black beast with baby fat, Mai Dingdong hesitated for a long time, and finally closed his eyes in frustration, trying to digest and relax by himself, "It's nothing .”
"The man who hugged you last time kissed you?"
"how do you know."
"A mouth like two sausages."
"Oh…"
"He messed with you?"
Just after saying this, the person on the bed completely lost his mind and buried himself in the blanket, "Stop talking!"
"Just do it, it's quite shy. My master doesn't discriminate."
Mai Dingdong kicked him away, put on cotton slippers and ran out the door, not knowing who he was angry with, turned on all the lights in the store, opened the store door vigorously, and went to brush his teeth and wash his hands.
There was a bang bang sound.
"It's in broad daylight." The black beast jumped to the top of the utility cabinet, took the feather duster and began to clean, not forgetting to add: "Sex is sex."
"we do not have!"
"What did he do to you?"
Mai Dingdong didn't speak, but his eyes drifted to his lips involuntarily.
"Oh, I see."
Realizing that he had been exposed, Mai Dingdong's aura faltered, and he shut up and started to pack his books.
"How do you feel?" The beast was even more enthusiastic, and simply jumped to Mai Dingdong's side to ask.
"Stop yelling." Mai Dingdong ran away directly, hid behind the long table and took out the computer to turn it on. Gu Zuo said to him, "Is there any problem in the store?"
"Aji's boyfriend came over, and I called her home. The store is fine."
Mai Dingdong hummed, hesitated for a few seconds, and entered a string of place names into the browser—the words engraved on the inside of the crystal ball.
Hit the Enter key, and at the top is a piece of news from many years ago.
Generally speaking, it was a tragedy in which more than [-] people were burned to death in an old monastery because of malicious arson.Later, this place was expropriated and rebuilt, and a hospital was built on the ground, and the sensational case was gradually forgotten.
The cursor slides to pull the news to the bottom, and there are only a few comments.
Read one by one, refresh it casually, and there is one more latest comment.
Mai Dingdong got closer, and then hurriedly pointed his head and shouted to the black beast: "Big Goose, check the sixth book in the second row of shelf E."
There is no problem with the time of the comment, but the address of the bookstore is clearly written in the content of the comment.
The beast ran over, skillfully pulled out the book, pinched the spine of the book and shook it twice.
An envelope with a gilt edge fell to the ground.
"Another letter!" He jumped up and threw the letter diagonally onto the table.
Mai Dingdong trembled imperceptibly, did not open the envelope immediately, but slowly looked at the traffic outside the store.
The pancake stand was bustling with people, and the smell of oil wafted into the nostrils.
Suddenly he could smell it.
His fingers were trembling, he was a little dazed, and hurriedly picked up the envelope under the urging of the beast.
It is still paper with simple texture, and it is still a few concise words.
Scanning randomly, Mai Dingdong swallowed nervously, unable to speak for a while.
The beast was in a hurry, took it over and read aloud: "I have found your sense of smell for Xueying."
"Who is Xueying?"
"Grandma's name."
He was silent for a while, and looked at the next line, "Peach wood is warm and not disturbed by resentment, but please be careful in everything."
"It knows everything." Mai Dingdong felt chills all over his body, his nails were firmly embedded in his flesh, "I want to see it."
"How do you see it?" Yan Beast raised his eyebrows, he knew in his heart that it would be difficult for Mai Dingdong to calm down once he had something to do with Grandma.
Sure enough, the other party closed the computer forcefully, with surprisingly serious eyes, "Resentment. The first time it delivered a letter was after I encountered resentment. As long as I keep contacting with resentment, it will reappear."
"Hey!" The beast followed, "You just came back and want to leave?"
Without saying a word, Mai Dingdong stood at the door and dialed Lu Shiyan's phone number.
The microphone was covered by the other side, and the familiar scolding voices could be vaguely distinguished.After waiting for a while, an angry voice sounded, "Hey Mai, what's the matter?"
"Is there a mission? Take me with you."
long silence.
Lu Shiyan hurriedly said no, and the microphone was covered again, followed by a more tense quarrel.
With a "snap", Lu Shiyan's hand was opened, and then Goutang said cheerfully: "The question is a coincidence. Tang Ge and the others are going to take two young people back to participate in the mission, which involves city rating. It was originally about Shiwu and another person. I I think you're good, what do you think?"
"I think your mother!" Lu Shiyan snatched the phone furiously, and then pretended to be gentle and said: "You should rest well, we have found a good candidate."
Then there was a busy tone and the phone was hung up.
I understand that Lu Shiyan feels that he is new here and doesn't want him to take risks all the time.It's not easy to directly say that he is a Taomu adult, don't worry, Mai Dingdong just dialed silently.
Yep, it's turned off right now.
After receiving the finger cakes from the evil animal, Mai Dingdong took a bite and waited quietly for the call to come in.He bet that Gou Tang would hide and contact him.
Sure enough, an unfamiliar number called.
"Hey?"
"Go on. What do you think?"
"You can go." Looking at the bright rabbit eyes of the evil beast, he added: "Can we be two?"
"I'll help you communicate. Send me your identity information, and send your ticket information to your mobile phone."
Before hanging up, Gou Tang said faintly: "Next time you find a treasure, you can pay me a tribute."
After a good night's sleep, Mai Dingdong was refreshed, and he kneaded the beast's face wantonly and responded with a smile.
In his conception, it is to get on the plane to reach the destination, touch the resentment carrier like last time, and enter the world of resentment spirits.
In fact it was far from it.
After getting off the plane, the guide took them to the next plane.
After tossing and turning several times, the two of them gradually became numb before reaching the end of the journey: all they saw was dry gravel and yellow sand.
Gou Tang was right, except for one team leader, the rest were all young people.The more tricky thing is-the hot low-cut blouse, leather skirt and boots, the tall and thin man next to the pickup is the prickly "Brother Wen" in front of him.
"Come here, children." He put his western hat on the top of his hair, and after counting the number of people, he began to distribute supplies.
Kettle, tool kit, and communication equipment.
"Why did you bring one more person here?" Shi Wu showed no timidity in front of the strange grudge remover, took the supplies and counted them.
Mai Dingdong patted the top of the beast's hair, "I'm afraid he will be lonely at home."
Wanting to take his share, who knew that the hand abruptly turned a corner in front of his eyes, raised his head, and Wen taunted him familiarly, "If you lose your life, you won't be lonely."
His eyes were suffering from the heat wave on the surface, Mai Dingdong raised his hand to take the things, but he was not angry, "Thank you for your concern."
Four or five off-road vehicles parked across the road, and the rest of the young grudge-removal masters who had never seen before automatically surrounded Wen Ge, wanting to drive with him.
Looking up, they basically knew each other, and they had no interest in him and Shi Wu, the two "small place" resentment masters.
After a few brief words, Mai Dingdong understood the main purpose of this task of eliminating grievances: evaluation.
Generally speaking, a group of three will act together to eliminate grievances and find treasures, and after they come out alive, they will be scored individually and in groups, which will ultimately affect the allocation of funds for each city's Grudge Elimination Masters Association next year.
The evil animal hid behind Mai Dingdong to hide from the sun, poked its head out and asked, "What if it dies?"
Someone sneered arrogantly: "Doesn't your place sign life and death certificates?"
Although he has felt it for a long time, Mai Dingdong did not expect that other places would discriminate against "small places" so severely.
He took off his hoodie, put on a hat to protect him from the scorching sun, and replied seriously without changing his face: "I signed it."
In the center of the endless sand dunes, the wheels are speeding across the wide road, rolling up hot flying dust.
A layer of yellow sand had accumulated on the windshield wipers. Their car was running behind and had already been thrown off by the front team.Sitting in the co-pilot, Mai Dingdong couldn't see Shi Wu at all.
"Why is he like this!" The evil beast was stuck in the back seat, and has been chanting until now.
The short-haired girl on the right side of the back seat has long been used to it. She laughed at herself: "No one stipulates that people in a city should act together. Mu Qiang's psychology is quite normal."
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror.The other team member is also a girl, with a cold expression that makes people not want to get close.
She silently flipped through the materials in her hand and remained silent.
Mai Dingdong shrank into the shadows and asked the driver, "Where are we going?"
"do not know."
A thin voice suddenly sounded, and the girl's voice was so gentle that it didn't match her appearance, "Do you know the devil's sea?"
Mai Dingdong turned his head, "Because of the poor temperature in the desert, does the ground reflect the blue sky?"
"Yes." She closed the document and put it in her bag, raised her eyes and nodded at Mai Dingdong, "That's how the Wraith World is, it's virtual. We don't go in, but wait for an opportunity to enter it."
Slow words make people feel good.
"Thank you." Outside the window, the ridge line was continuous, and the young man in the co-pilot looked into the distance, his face flushed from the heat.
As she said, the off-road vehicle climbed over the hills and roads, and I don't know where it ends.
The wind blew over the dry sand, making a rumbling sound.Under the sound of sand, the car in front slowed down, turned around a few times, and finally stopped in the middle of the road.
The driver turned the steering wheel quickly.The asphalt road was rutted, and a car of drowsy people was stumbling around. When the wheels slipped and fell into the sand, there was a "bang", and Mai Dingdong hit his head on the side glass.
"What's the situation?" Rolling down the window, the driver hadn't finished yelling, his head was hammered hard by an elbow, and then he was pressed on the steering wheel.
One person leaned in and shouted impatiently: "Bring all the supplies here."
"You're fouling!" The short-haired girl went to get the communicator with trembling hands, but the glass beside her was shattered, and she screamed in panic.
"Don't call me okay." One hand grabbed her hair, pressed her head and slammed it on the front seat, "Just take it, there are so many words."
The backpack was picked up by the long black stick, and the evil animal clenched its fists and wanted to jump out to beat someone, but was soothed by Mai Dingdong's eyes.
They have guns.
Spreading his hands and raising them, Mai Dingdong allowed the car door to be opened, and the heat wave hit his face.The seat belt was undone, and the metal buckle hit his face, causing him pain.
"Skin and tender flesh, what kind of competition are you here for?" Picking up his bag and throwing it on his back, the taciturn man in front of Wen Ge touched his face and whistled a few times.
This beast can't stand it.His joints turned white, and suddenly the gust of wind rumbled and struck from a distance. The people outside the car lost their center of gravity and were swept into the sand all at once.
Mai Dingdong's heart skipped a beat, and before they raised their guns violently, he quickly closed the car door, leaned forward and grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, "Let's go!"
The front wheels spun wildly, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the wheels. Before the gunshot, the car started to roll over the sand dunes, turned and drove onto the road.
"Those lunatics!" The wind leaked from the car windows, and the leather seats were covered with fine sand.The girl broke down and shouted, "All supplies are gone!"
The girl who had been silent all this time suddenly reminded her, "'Mu Qiang's psychology is understandable', that's what you said."
"The law of the jungle preys on the strong, so Wen won't care about these, as long as we live."
Immediately speechless.
"Wait a minute." Glancing in the rearview mirror, a black dot leaped to the horizon.Mai Dingdong's temples twitched, and he yanked the driver's arm——
boom!
Bullets grazed the wheels and hit the ground.
The driver was bleeding from the forehead, and was forced to concentrate on stepping on the accelerator to avoid the bullets on the rear side.
Even though the supplies had been grabbed, those people were extremely excited, and they completely regarded this group of uncompetitive people as prey, and staged a pursuit battle on the road.
The girl grabbed the back of the chair to stabilize it, and pointed to the front side in surprise: "I caught up with Wen Ge and the others!"
"useless."
As soon as the words fell, a few more bullets passed by.
The music in the car was loud, and Wen was lying on the co-pilot wearing sunglasses, swaying to the rhythm.Shi Wu slammed on the car door in a panic, trying to get the team leader to stop these behaviors.
Desperately, no one cared, and the cars in front all drove towards the edge of the road, as if to make way for the chase.
The driver continued to pant heavily, Mai Dingdong forced himself to calm down, stood up boldly with bent legs, and took the driver's seat, "I'll drive."
The vehicle was moving forward, and when passing by, some people even rolled down the window and poked their heads out to watch the excitement, cheering loudly: "Come on!"
Mai Dingdong looked straight ahead, his sweater and hat were blown wildly, he slammed the steering wheel, and got out from between the two cars.
"You will be hit in the sand!" The girl panicked.
The skin is hot and sore, and the lips are dry and peeling.Mai Dingdong straightened the rearview mirror with one hand, glanced lightly at the black covering the sky behind his eyes, and said, "'Devil's Sea' is here."
The man who cheered just now had no time to sit back, he frowned and shouted, "A sandstorm is coming?"
His scalp was numb, and when he reached out to touch it, his hands were already bloody.Thinking it was hit by gravel, I touched it again, and unexpectedly pinched a winged millipede.
"Close the windows!" He exclaimed and rolled down the window, flicking the rear of the car to follow Mai Dingdong's car.
After a while, the densely packed flesh worms folded their wings, gnawed and squirmed on the roof of each car, trying to find the humans inside to lay eggs.
The rapid driving of the car does not affect their actions in the slightest.
All the cars were speeding towards the depths of the desert together, and there were screams and the sound of insects biting the car everywhere.
Because he left early, Mai Dingdong's car was still clean.A talisman was photographed on the roof of the car, and he turned his head slightly, only to see the girl read a few words with a blank face, and then the bug seemed to be pressed the pause button, but it only lasted for a few seconds.
Knowing this in his heart, Mai Dingdong grasped the steering wheel tightly, spread his palms to support the upper side of the carriage, breathed out lightly, and exerted force with his hands.
In an instant, all the worms splashed, and all the black air was sprayed out.
"My God, you're so amazing." She leaned over in surprise, even stammering.
The black beast that pinched the bug and threw it out was also a little dazed, not understanding
"Try what?" Mai Dingdong dropped his knees to the ground and straddled him in an awkward posture.For a while, it was not even clear who was hot.
"The grievances are gone, there is no need to try again."
The figures in his vision were blurred and distorted, and it was difficult for his brain to process information. He was so overwhelmed that he would rather pass out.
The corner of his lips was rubbed hard by his thumb, and he heard one of the many Zhong Mozhi say something.
The blood in the whole body was concentrated in places where it didn't need to be concentrated, and the deep voice was hard for him to distinguish clearly.
"I can't hear you clearly." Mai Dingdong grabbed the hand that was touching his face, and let go of it instantly in disgust, "You have a fever, it's hot."
The chest under his palm vibrated with a muffled laugh.
Mai Dingdong's expression was uneasy, and he clamped his legs hard to warn him.Supporting it with one hand, the other hand scratched in front of him a few times, groped onto Zhong Mozhi's face, rubbed his fingers relentlessly across the brow bone and the bridge of the nose, found the other's lips and pressed them firmly.
He bent down and stared at the golden color, and asked fiercely, "Are you laughing at me?"
"You kiss me if you are not polite, how dare you laugh at me?"
His sight was so scattered that he didn't know where he was floating in the void, his words were panting, and his hot breath was even more scattered and rapid, Zhong Mozhi couldn't laugh when he was blowing.
Not to mention the place where it came close because of possession.
Zhong Mozhi lay obediently on his back, slowly bent his legs, and put his palm on Mai Dingdong's knee, only his Adam's apple revealed his thoughts.
Spit out a few more syllables.
Still can't hear clearly.Pressing the palm on the lips, the breath of the other party's words leaked out from between the fingers, Mai Dingdong leaned lower, frowned and turned his head, slightly let go of his hands and brought his ears to him, "What are you talking about, speak up."
"sorry."
"Yeah." He nodded in satisfaction.
"you're uncomfortable."
"Yes." Mai Dingdong pinched Zhong Mozhi's lips irritably, "So stop talking and take me downstairs."
The door closed at some point, and the hand on the knee was suddenly withdrawn and fell on the shoulder.
The world is spinning and the positions are swapping.
Sinking into the carpet, the person holding him down was hard and unhuman.
The light from the chandelier brushed against the other person's hair, and under the backlight, his eyes appeared brighter, faintly making one feel the urge to shrink back.
Mai Dingdong called to stop in his heart, but his throat was so dry that it almost hurt, and he could only see the other party gradually lowering his voice.
The softness fell between the eyebrows, and he heard a voice say: "Just trust me."
All words were swallowed up.
The first thought in his mind was not the astonishment of being kissed by a man again, but the contempt for this man's bad behavior of making mistakes while apologizing.
Affected until now, I just rely on willpower to bear it, and the tossing of my lips at this moment is like a long drought and a cold rain.
The brain, which was smothered in a ball of heat, gradually woke up.
Mai Dingdong raised his eyes at a seemingly sticky distance, and finally his voice was not so sticky, "It's not over yet."
"Yeah." As good as good, he posted it again with a smile, this time there was no comforting taste, and he looked a little fierce.
Mai Dingdong was not breathing well, and his newly awakened brain became confused due to lack of oxygen. He crossed his forearms in front of him, and the other party reluctantly backed away.
"I mean, the world isn't over yet."
Word by word, gnashing of teeth.
Not only his cheeks were flushed and his voice was unsteady, although Zhong Mozhi was not panting for breath, his chest heaved and heaved even when he was satisfied, and he lost it with ease.
This discovery made Mai Dingdong a little proud, and swallowed the moisture from his lower lip.He moved his fingers and raised his arm to grab something that made him uncomfortable.
"..."
Mai Dingdong tilted his head, and fell silent again.
He heard Zhong Mozhi utter a word inscrutablely.
"Ah."
cotton.
It seems to be back in the ice and snow of the monastery, surrounded by white, but the feet are cotton.
In a trance, everything in the field of vision disappeared, and suddenly gathered into a solid body.
Not a monastery, not a bathing town.
The black mist covering the sky slowly dissipated, and the tumbling lava and icy coldness existed in a space.
"Where is this place?" Mai Dingdong's legs trembled, and the comfort that could almost draw out his soul hadn't dissipated, and he was still wearing slippers from the bathing city.
He quickly lowered his head to make sure that the only remaining trousers were still there, and when he saw that it was pulled up properly, he looked around in relief.
Walking forward carefully, the black and red rock seemed to have consciousness, shaking the lava aside to prevent the strange visitor from being burned.The oncoming wind and snow also brushed past him and blew to the side.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, but with more contacts, Mai Dingdong can say with certainty that this is the world of fried ghosts.
A few seconds ago, after Zhong Mozhi raised his chin and swallowed, he seemed to be extremely excited and satisfied, and his whole body instantly turned into a black mist——
Then he showed up here.
Obviously guessed right.Mai Dingdong stopped on the top of a rock, waiting for the red shadow to approach rapidly.
He knew this person, the fried ghost who stayed with Zhong Mozhi that day.
The woman has a beautiful face. She shook off her long curly hair on her shoulders and asked in a daze, "How can you come here."
"It should be...he brought me here." Mai Dingdong scratched his face and pursed his lips reflexively—it was red and painful from being bitten.
"Oh—" Hu Yue stretched out her voice thoughtfully, and passed her hand in front of Mai Dingdong, "The last time we met was not very pleasant, I'm sorry."
Mai Dingdong answered vaguely, and shook hands with Hu Yue vaguely.She's right, she did make him unhappy before, so there's no need to pretend she doesn't mind.
"Where is this?" Guiltyly smoothing out the folds of his clothes, he tried his best to forget the memory of being rubbed just now, and his feet were completely surrounded by molten lava.
"Family."
"Family?"
As far as the eye can see, not a single blade of grass grows.
Huyue knew it, opened her skirt and squatted down, lowered her head and touched the extremely hot liquid with her fingertips, "It will change. What if the Lord is courting you?"
"Please, courtship?"
"In human terms... love?"
Mai Dingdong laughed awkwardly, unable to refute self-deception.The body temperature has completely returned to normal, but the foreplay of recovery is embarrassing.
He had never seen such a difficult person.It's just that I accidentally pinched it in a panic, and then I was pressed and gnawed for a long time.
A whistle sounded from some distance away, and Hu Yue got up numbly, apologizing to Mai Dingdong: "There is resentment overflowing, I need to leave. If we see you next time, I hope the Lord has succeeded."
She blinked slyly and disappeared in an instant.
Tired of picking out the other party's ambiguous words, Mai Dingdong rubbed his forehead twice, stood silently in the middle of the sea of flames, and waited for Zhong Mozhi to regain his calm before taking him out.
One second, two seconds.
On the count of three, time and space are distorted, and the field of view changes.The world of resentment also completely dissipated.
There were several bangs, and with Shi Wu's cry of pain, a series of people fell to the ground one after another. He was pressed by his arms, and he wailed and got up. His movements were too fast, and the back of his head hit the coffee table. The teacup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere.
Mai Dingdong quickly raised his foot to avoid it, and then stomped his foot twice. It wasn't the bathing pan, but his sneakers.The touch of the sofa under the buttocks is very reassuring.
The sun has returned to outside the house, and all outsiders have been dumped through the cracks in the collapse of time and space.The real clock seems to have only gone a few steps, but everyone has experienced a close escape, with exhaustion.
"All the people who are pulled in will leave near the carrier of resentment." Lu Shiyan helped someone up and explained to Mai Dingdong, not forgetting to pull up the phone from the desk competently, and said to the other end: "Everyone has already come out , Call the support staff to come over."
The door was locked by Tang Ge, and he leaned against the wall with his arms around his chest, and he still looked serious to the outside world, "Please wait a while before leaving."
Although the people who survived the catastrophe were noisy, no one refuted him - most of them still knew how they escaped.
Mai Dingdong held the crystal ball in his hand, it was no longer dusty and worn out.
"Monastery?" Twisting the wrist twice, the white flashes in the glass like snow, falling on the small buildings.
Mai Dingdong leaned his forehead against the glass and stared in a daze, but was frightened by the eyes that appeared on the opposite side of the glass ball.The man flicked the glass with his finger, hitting the crystal ball on Mai Dingdong's forehead.
He put it down abruptly, intending to give Zhong Mozhi a vicious look, but his eyes turned halfway and flew to the corners of Zhong Mozhi's lips and his Adam's apple.
Memories surfaced, and he froze for a moment, Mai Dingdong turned his head, pretending to look at the scenery outside the house.
"Angry?"
The chest was shaking against Mai Dingdong's knees, Zhong Mozhi squatted in front of the sofa, raised his chin to tease him, "I will ask you next time."
I don't know if it's a kiss or something else.
The tips of Mai Dingdong's ears trembled twice, and the pink rose again unconsciously, thinking that this man would be very difficult to deal with after losing his expensive vest.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Following the sound, Lu Shiyan had already opened the window and was blowing smoke there.
He whispered to Zhong Mo, "The other person from the headquarters is very busy, you should leave as soon as possible."
Someone asked him for a cigarette, Lu Shiyan handed him one and then turned around, pretending that he had never seen Zhagui come these days.
"You two have such a bad relationship?" Mai Dingdong lowered his eyes, looking into each other's eyes in puzzlement.
Zhong Mozhi took Mai Dingdong's hand unhurriedly, helped him twist the ring and put it on, nodded slightly, "I really want to leave for a while. Huyue is in trouble."
"gone?"
"Yeah." Looking up, Zhong Mozhi was silent for a while, raised his hand to button the first button of Mai Dingdong's shirt, and then gently pinched his chin and said seriously: "Trust me. You can call me anytime. .”
"Um..."
Mai Dingdong stared at him, couldn't help thinking of the land of flames called "home", nodded heavily and added: "Come to my house as a guest anytime."
"Not just as a guest."
Before Mai Dingdong could react, the hand that was on the knee slipped and landed on the heel of the leg. The other party stood up, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Continue to do that."
Mai Dingdong's lips moved, and his whole body trembled because of the sudden kiss on his earlobe.He hissed and wanted to push, but the opponent stepped back first, jumped easily, and squatted on the edge of the window in a blink of an eye.
The stern side face was stained with smog, the high-level wind was strong, and his hair was blown behind his ears. He leaned back his head and looked at Mai Dingdong, "See you soon."
As several people exclaimed, he let go of his fingers and jumped down lightly.
"Fuck!" The man with the cigarette in his mouth hastily leaned out halfway to look for him, but he couldn't find a trace of him.
Mai Dingdong weighed the crystal ball twice and remained silent.
For some reason, compared to the grudge exorcist's fear and guard against Zhagui, he felt that Zhagui was quite lonely and innocent.Obviously doing things to clear up grievances, but doing it alone can't get anyone's thanks.
Not to mention those ambiguous actions, it was Zhagui who taught him how to maximize his abilities.
His thoughts were interrupted by the fine mist.He raised his head, only to realize that there were small shower devices installed in the four corners of the room.
A pill was handed over before him, and Mai Dingdong took it casually.
"Eat it." Shi Wu said in a low voice, and he had already chewed it into pieces and swallowed it.
Without much doubt, Mai Dingdong stuffed it into his mouth.There is no bitterness as imagined, but a little bit of sweetness.
The noisy crowd raised their heads to look for the source of the mist, and Lu Shiyan put out the smoke and closed the window, silently waiting for the noise to subside.
After a while, those who didn't swallow the sugar pill began to feel dizzy, their lips tingled, and finally collapsed on the ground.
Tang Ge twisted the door open, and turned sideways to let the person who had been waiting outside the door walk in lightly.
Several staff members were standing busy, and Mai Dingdong couldn't sit alone on the sofa, so he simply tiptoed to the door, curiously waiting for the people in the room to be moved out.
"Where are you taking them?" He asked Shi Wu in a low voice.
"It will be very troublesome if the existence of the wraith is spread." Shi Wu pointed his index finger upstairs, a little proudly, "Guide the memory and then release it."
"So give me medicine while I'm on the field?"
"Yes. Where did you come from? Aren't you afraid of encountering these things?" Shi Wu raised his eyebrows, and asked hesitantly: "It's weird, I obviously feel that you have no ability at all."
"Scared. But just accept it."
Lu Shiyan waved in the distance, Shi Wu suddenly shrunk his neck, his face wrinkled together, he rubbed the tip of his nose and obediently went over to be scolded.
There was no one inside or outside the room.
Mai Dingdong was extremely exhausted after turning away two wraith worlds.
There was no need to sit and wait for someone to arrange. He simply rubbed his sore waist and walked downstairs, lazily nodding to the person who poked his head out to look at him.
One person suddenly said with admiration: "How did you do it?"
"Huh?" Mai Dingdong stopped in front of the glass door, tilting his head in confusion.
The girl sniffed him from his feet to his neck, pushed his glasses and said mysteriously, "It's amazing. The kid was still sarcastic a few days ago, why did he speak so softly to you today."
"Time witch?"
"Ang, there's a man with a stinky face in gold buttons." She waved her hand, and a group of people swarmed behind her, "They all bet that you wouldn't be able to get out, but it turns out that you're in pretty good shape."
Everyone said he was incompetent, Mai Dingdong shrugged, "Do I really look weak?"
"It's not called weak." She pondered for a while, and changed her words, "Although she is handsome, she is not aggressive at all. I like it."
"Do you like farts?" The people behind laughed at her.
"Shut up, you. Lu Shiyan personally invited him back to join the division of resentment, can he die easily? You deserve it if you lose all the money you bet."
"Yo, you're pretty good at playing with the wind."
Several people were about to quarrel.Mai Dingdong raised his feet in a lack of interest, just wanting to go home quickly and fall into bed.
As soon as he turned around, his nose bumped, he let go of his hand with a muffled grunt, and the crystal ball rolled to the opponent's feet.
In an instant, the staff who had been watching the bustle retreated like a tide, as if the sound just now was just an illusion.
The girl tapped the keyboard as if to cover up, and called Wen Ge cautiously.
Mai Dingdong leaned over to pick it up, but who knew that the high-heeled shoes stepped directly on the crystal ball, and even crushed it twice without respect.
"This thing can't be taken away. Where did you come from?" The male voice drawled and condescended, "Why didn't you pull it over to erase the memory."
Mai Dingdong became more and more sleepy, so he idly tried to compete, and simply nodded and smiled: "I've eliminated it, so let's go."
The slender arms were stretched across the front, "Did I call you to go, people in small places are really ignorant."
"Otherwise?" Rarely arguing with others, Mai Dingdong was a little sullen by this person's hostility.
"Clarify your identity. Where are you going to steal this thing?"
"Steal? I'm sorry if I can't take it, please take it. I just want to go back to sleep."
"Huh? Pretty straightforward."
The atmosphere in the offices on both sides did not dare to come out.
When Mai Dingdong turned to the left, he turned to the left, and when he turned to the right, he turned to the right. It was obvious that he was determined to let his "thief" be punished on the spot.
"Let him go." Lu Shiyan tidied up Shi Wu, and trotted over, "This new grudge-removing master is not an outsider."
"Oh——" the other party moved away with a playful smile, and kicked the crystal ball to Mai Dingdong's shoe, "Then just make it clear. I don't have much ability, and my temper is not small."
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know what kind of moves he used, suddenly the evil wind in the corridor blew up, and the skin was hot and cold.
Mai Dingdong panicked.It's clear that this person made his own conclusions when he came up, and his behavior was not at all polite.Judging by the expressions of the staff next to him, he should be a formidable person.
Depressed and wronged, he didn't want to make a fuss, so he just walked forward in silence.
From a distance, the person could still hear the words "small place" and "newcomer", so Mai Dingdong directly covered his ears.
Walking out of the monastery, the flickering neon lights of the city are nostalgic.
He raised his head and stared blankly at a moth the size of a fingernail.The moth flew around the pole twice, and then flung itself on the cold white lamp.
Under the lights, the owner of the fried food stall chatted enthusiastically with people.The moths were still thrashing about, with no end in sight.
He couldn't smell the fried food, so he sniffed dryly, regained his senses and slowly tightened his coat.
After leaving my hometown for a long time, I suddenly felt a little lonely in my heart.Spread out the palm, the ring finger is covered with a pure black ring, and two peach wood beads are wrapped around the wrist.
If it was late autumn before, my grandmother would have started knitting woolen gloves for him, for fear that he would not be able to wear them in winter and would suffer from frostbite.
Standing alone on the sidewalk, he felt in a daze like a student who walked out of the examination room and found that no relatives were waiting to care about him.
I could still be happy by smelling delicious food, but now I lost my sense of smell unconsciously.
The nose was sour, and the circles around the eyes were red.Mai Dingdong quickly raised his chin to wipe off the mist, thinking about calling the car home slowly.
He hated those foul-smelling resentments even more.
The shoulder was tapped.Mai Dingdong didn't bother to look back, and wiped his eyes in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, Tang Ge and the people just now are from the headquarters, and they have a big temper. I taught you a lesson."
"Too lazy to worry about it."
Finding that the person was in a bad mood, Lu Shiyan didn't ask any more questions, threw the key to get off the car and said, "Send you back."
The car drove very smoothly, and when it stopped at the door of the bookstore, Mai Dingdong almost closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Go back and have a good rest for a few days, and do some things of your own. I'll come to you again in a while."
Mai Dingdong unbuttoned his seat belt in bewilderment, and before getting out of the car, he heard the other party sincerely thank him: "Thank you for Shi Wu's matter. Thank you for giving us the dagger for safekeeping."
"It's okay." He waved his hands indiscriminately, and he fell on the door in two steps, slapping the black beast out with all his strength.
I don't remember anything about what happened afterwards, I only know that I fell into a long, sound sleep.
In the dream, he was still the peach tree.
It's just that the person praying this time is an unfamiliar face.
The leaves rustled, and a piece of untightened gold-letter red ribbon fell with the wind, leisurely falling into the palm of the man.He raised his arm and retied the ribbon.
Mai Dingdong flinched a little, feeling that this stranger was somewhat different from the villagers.If I insist on making it clear, the praying man is asking for the blessing of the tree of blessings, and he—
Just this tree.
The hand that landed on the branch did not withdraw, but pinched a leaf, and the thumb slowly rubbed on the veins of the leaf. The human temperature was transmitted, and the hot peach wood hurriedly let the leaf fall off.
"It's so tender." The man hid the leaf in the palm of his hand, raised his eyelids to look at it wantonly, and even put his palm on the bark.
His gaze, which explored Sato, completely overlapped with that in the bathing city.
Mai Dingdong shook the leaves and said dryly: "Hands are so hot, you are burning."
"What burns?"
"Ah!" A carp sat upright, and the thin blanket on his body slipped off. Mai Dingdong held his forehead and panted heavily, and it took him a long time to recover.
The beast squatted on the side of the single bed, grinding its teeth, "What are you dreaming about?"
"No sweet dreams."
"Oh—" the black beast raised its finger teasingly, and elongated its voice in an unclear manner.
Looking at the past along the line of sight, Mai Dingdong's cheeks were red with blood, and he pulled the thin blanket over his legs in embarrassment, "something happened."
"whats the matter?"
It's not a crime, and he doesn't like to hide it, but his eyes fell on the face of the black beast with baby fat, Mai Dingdong hesitated for a long time, and finally closed his eyes in frustration, trying to digest and relax by himself, "It's nothing .”
"The man who hugged you last time kissed you?"
"how do you know."
"A mouth like two sausages."
"Oh…"
"He messed with you?"
Just after saying this, the person on the bed completely lost his mind and buried himself in the blanket, "Stop talking!"
"Just do it, it's quite shy. My master doesn't discriminate."
Mai Dingdong kicked him away, put on cotton slippers and ran out the door, not knowing who he was angry with, turned on all the lights in the store, opened the store door vigorously, and went to brush his teeth and wash his hands.
There was a bang bang sound.
"It's in broad daylight." The black beast jumped to the top of the utility cabinet, took the feather duster and began to clean, not forgetting to add: "Sex is sex."
"we do not have!"
"What did he do to you?"
Mai Dingdong didn't speak, but his eyes drifted to his lips involuntarily.
"Oh, I see."
Realizing that he had been exposed, Mai Dingdong's aura faltered, and he shut up and started to pack his books.
"How do you feel?" The beast was even more enthusiastic, and simply jumped to Mai Dingdong's side to ask.
"Stop yelling." Mai Dingdong ran away directly, hid behind the long table and took out the computer to turn it on. Gu Zuo said to him, "Is there any problem in the store?"
"Aji's boyfriend came over, and I called her home. The store is fine."
Mai Dingdong hummed, hesitated for a few seconds, and entered a string of place names into the browser—the words engraved on the inside of the crystal ball.
Hit the Enter key, and at the top is a piece of news from many years ago.
Generally speaking, it was a tragedy in which more than [-] people were burned to death in an old monastery because of malicious arson.Later, this place was expropriated and rebuilt, and a hospital was built on the ground, and the sensational case was gradually forgotten.
The cursor slides to pull the news to the bottom, and there are only a few comments.
Read one by one, refresh it casually, and there is one more latest comment.
Mai Dingdong got closer, and then hurriedly pointed his head and shouted to the black beast: "Big Goose, check the sixth book in the second row of shelf E."
There is no problem with the time of the comment, but the address of the bookstore is clearly written in the content of the comment.
The beast ran over, skillfully pulled out the book, pinched the spine of the book and shook it twice.
An envelope with a gilt edge fell to the ground.
"Another letter!" He jumped up and threw the letter diagonally onto the table.
Mai Dingdong trembled imperceptibly, did not open the envelope immediately, but slowly looked at the traffic outside the store.
The pancake stand was bustling with people, and the smell of oil wafted into the nostrils.
Suddenly he could smell it.
His fingers were trembling, he was a little dazed, and hurriedly picked up the envelope under the urging of the beast.
It is still paper with simple texture, and it is still a few concise words.
Scanning randomly, Mai Dingdong swallowed nervously, unable to speak for a while.
The beast was in a hurry, took it over and read aloud: "I have found your sense of smell for Xueying."
"Who is Xueying?"
"Grandma's name."
He was silent for a while, and looked at the next line, "Peach wood is warm and not disturbed by resentment, but please be careful in everything."
"It knows everything." Mai Dingdong felt chills all over his body, his nails were firmly embedded in his flesh, "I want to see it."
"How do you see it?" Yan Beast raised his eyebrows, he knew in his heart that it would be difficult for Mai Dingdong to calm down once he had something to do with Grandma.
Sure enough, the other party closed the computer forcefully, with surprisingly serious eyes, "Resentment. The first time it delivered a letter was after I encountered resentment. As long as I keep contacting with resentment, it will reappear."
"Hey!" The beast followed, "You just came back and want to leave?"
Without saying a word, Mai Dingdong stood at the door and dialed Lu Shiyan's phone number.
The microphone was covered by the other side, and the familiar scolding voices could be vaguely distinguished.After waiting for a while, an angry voice sounded, "Hey Mai, what's the matter?"
"Is there a mission? Take me with you."
long silence.
Lu Shiyan hurriedly said no, and the microphone was covered again, followed by a more tense quarrel.
With a "snap", Lu Shiyan's hand was opened, and then Goutang said cheerfully: "The question is a coincidence. Tang Ge and the others are going to take two young people back to participate in the mission, which involves city rating. It was originally about Shiwu and another person. I I think you're good, what do you think?"
"I think your mother!" Lu Shiyan snatched the phone furiously, and then pretended to be gentle and said: "You should rest well, we have found a good candidate."
Then there was a busy tone and the phone was hung up.
I understand that Lu Shiyan feels that he is new here and doesn't want him to take risks all the time.It's not easy to directly say that he is a Taomu adult, don't worry, Mai Dingdong just dialed silently.
Yep, it's turned off right now.
After receiving the finger cakes from the evil animal, Mai Dingdong took a bite and waited quietly for the call to come in.He bet that Gou Tang would hide and contact him.
Sure enough, an unfamiliar number called.
"Hey?"
"Go on. What do you think?"
"You can go." Looking at the bright rabbit eyes of the evil beast, he added: "Can we be two?"
"I'll help you communicate. Send me your identity information, and send your ticket information to your mobile phone."
Before hanging up, Gou Tang said faintly: "Next time you find a treasure, you can pay me a tribute."
After a good night's sleep, Mai Dingdong was refreshed, and he kneaded the beast's face wantonly and responded with a smile.
In his conception, it is to get on the plane to reach the destination, touch the resentment carrier like last time, and enter the world of resentment spirits.
In fact it was far from it.
After getting off the plane, the guide took them to the next plane.
After tossing and turning several times, the two of them gradually became numb before reaching the end of the journey: all they saw was dry gravel and yellow sand.
Gou Tang was right, except for one team leader, the rest were all young people.The more tricky thing is-the hot low-cut blouse, leather skirt and boots, the tall and thin man next to the pickup is the prickly "Brother Wen" in front of him.
"Come here, children." He put his western hat on the top of his hair, and after counting the number of people, he began to distribute supplies.
Kettle, tool kit, and communication equipment.
"Why did you bring one more person here?" Shi Wu showed no timidity in front of the strange grudge remover, took the supplies and counted them.
Mai Dingdong patted the top of the beast's hair, "I'm afraid he will be lonely at home."
Wanting to take his share, who knew that the hand abruptly turned a corner in front of his eyes, raised his head, and Wen taunted him familiarly, "If you lose your life, you won't be lonely."
His eyes were suffering from the heat wave on the surface, Mai Dingdong raised his hand to take the things, but he was not angry, "Thank you for your concern."
Four or five off-road vehicles parked across the road, and the rest of the young grudge-removal masters who had never seen before automatically surrounded Wen Ge, wanting to drive with him.
Looking up, they basically knew each other, and they had no interest in him and Shi Wu, the two "small place" resentment masters.
After a few brief words, Mai Dingdong understood the main purpose of this task of eliminating grievances: evaluation.
Generally speaking, a group of three will act together to eliminate grievances and find treasures, and after they come out alive, they will be scored individually and in groups, which will ultimately affect the allocation of funds for each city's Grudge Elimination Masters Association next year.
The evil animal hid behind Mai Dingdong to hide from the sun, poked its head out and asked, "What if it dies?"
Someone sneered arrogantly: "Doesn't your place sign life and death certificates?"
Although he has felt it for a long time, Mai Dingdong did not expect that other places would discriminate against "small places" so severely.
He took off his hoodie, put on a hat to protect him from the scorching sun, and replied seriously without changing his face: "I signed it."
In the center of the endless sand dunes, the wheels are speeding across the wide road, rolling up hot flying dust.
A layer of yellow sand had accumulated on the windshield wipers. Their car was running behind and had already been thrown off by the front team.Sitting in the co-pilot, Mai Dingdong couldn't see Shi Wu at all.
"Why is he like this!" The evil beast was stuck in the back seat, and has been chanting until now.
The short-haired girl on the right side of the back seat has long been used to it. She laughed at herself: "No one stipulates that people in a city should act together. Mu Qiang's psychology is quite normal."
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror.The other team member is also a girl, with a cold expression that makes people not want to get close.
She silently flipped through the materials in her hand and remained silent.
Mai Dingdong shrank into the shadows and asked the driver, "Where are we going?"
"do not know."
A thin voice suddenly sounded, and the girl's voice was so gentle that it didn't match her appearance, "Do you know the devil's sea?"
Mai Dingdong turned his head, "Because of the poor temperature in the desert, does the ground reflect the blue sky?"
"Yes." She closed the document and put it in her bag, raised her eyes and nodded at Mai Dingdong, "That's how the Wraith World is, it's virtual. We don't go in, but wait for an opportunity to enter it."
Slow words make people feel good.
"Thank you." Outside the window, the ridge line was continuous, and the young man in the co-pilot looked into the distance, his face flushed from the heat.
As she said, the off-road vehicle climbed over the hills and roads, and I don't know where it ends.
The wind blew over the dry sand, making a rumbling sound.Under the sound of sand, the car in front slowed down, turned around a few times, and finally stopped in the middle of the road.
The driver turned the steering wheel quickly.The asphalt road was rutted, and a car of drowsy people was stumbling around. When the wheels slipped and fell into the sand, there was a "bang", and Mai Dingdong hit his head on the side glass.
"What's the situation?" Rolling down the window, the driver hadn't finished yelling, his head was hammered hard by an elbow, and then he was pressed on the steering wheel.
One person leaned in and shouted impatiently: "Bring all the supplies here."
"You're fouling!" The short-haired girl went to get the communicator with trembling hands, but the glass beside her was shattered, and she screamed in panic.
"Don't call me okay." One hand grabbed her hair, pressed her head and slammed it on the front seat, "Just take it, there are so many words."
The backpack was picked up by the long black stick, and the evil animal clenched its fists and wanted to jump out to beat someone, but was soothed by Mai Dingdong's eyes.
They have guns.
Spreading his hands and raising them, Mai Dingdong allowed the car door to be opened, and the heat wave hit his face.The seat belt was undone, and the metal buckle hit his face, causing him pain.
"Skin and tender flesh, what kind of competition are you here for?" Picking up his bag and throwing it on his back, the taciturn man in front of Wen Ge touched his face and whistled a few times.
This beast can't stand it.His joints turned white, and suddenly the gust of wind rumbled and struck from a distance. The people outside the car lost their center of gravity and were swept into the sand all at once.
Mai Dingdong's heart skipped a beat, and before they raised their guns violently, he quickly closed the car door, leaned forward and grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, "Let's go!"
The front wheels spun wildly, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the wheels. Before the gunshot, the car started to roll over the sand dunes, turned and drove onto the road.
"Those lunatics!" The wind leaked from the car windows, and the leather seats were covered with fine sand.The girl broke down and shouted, "All supplies are gone!"
The girl who had been silent all this time suddenly reminded her, "'Mu Qiang's psychology is understandable', that's what you said."
"The law of the jungle preys on the strong, so Wen won't care about these, as long as we live."
Immediately speechless.
"Wait a minute." Glancing in the rearview mirror, a black dot leaped to the horizon.Mai Dingdong's temples twitched, and he yanked the driver's arm——
boom!
Bullets grazed the wheels and hit the ground.
The driver was bleeding from the forehead, and was forced to concentrate on stepping on the accelerator to avoid the bullets on the rear side.
Even though the supplies had been grabbed, those people were extremely excited, and they completely regarded this group of uncompetitive people as prey, and staged a pursuit battle on the road.
The girl grabbed the back of the chair to stabilize it, and pointed to the front side in surprise: "I caught up with Wen Ge and the others!"
"useless."
As soon as the words fell, a few more bullets passed by.
The music in the car was loud, and Wen was lying on the co-pilot wearing sunglasses, swaying to the rhythm.Shi Wu slammed on the car door in a panic, trying to get the team leader to stop these behaviors.
Desperately, no one cared, and the cars in front all drove towards the edge of the road, as if to make way for the chase.
The driver continued to pant heavily, Mai Dingdong forced himself to calm down, stood up boldly with bent legs, and took the driver's seat, "I'll drive."
The vehicle was moving forward, and when passing by, some people even rolled down the window and poked their heads out to watch the excitement, cheering loudly: "Come on!"
Mai Dingdong looked straight ahead, his sweater and hat were blown wildly, he slammed the steering wheel, and got out from between the two cars.
"You will be hit in the sand!" The girl panicked.
The skin is hot and sore, and the lips are dry and peeling.Mai Dingdong straightened the rearview mirror with one hand, glanced lightly at the black covering the sky behind his eyes, and said, "'Devil's Sea' is here."
The man who cheered just now had no time to sit back, he frowned and shouted, "A sandstorm is coming?"
His scalp was numb, and when he reached out to touch it, his hands were already bloody.Thinking it was hit by gravel, I touched it again, and unexpectedly pinched a winged millipede.
"Close the windows!" He exclaimed and rolled down the window, flicking the rear of the car to follow Mai Dingdong's car.
After a while, the densely packed flesh worms folded their wings, gnawed and squirmed on the roof of each car, trying to find the humans inside to lay eggs.
The rapid driving of the car does not affect their actions in the slightest.
All the cars were speeding towards the depths of the desert together, and there were screams and the sound of insects biting the car everywhere.
Because he left early, Mai Dingdong's car was still clean.A talisman was photographed on the roof of the car, and he turned his head slightly, only to see the girl read a few words with a blank face, and then the bug seemed to be pressed the pause button, but it only lasted for a few seconds.
Knowing this in his heart, Mai Dingdong grasped the steering wheel tightly, spread his palms to support the upper side of the carriage, breathed out lightly, and exerted force with his hands.
In an instant, all the worms splashed, and all the black air was sprayed out.
"My God, you're so amazing." She leaned over in surprise, even stammering.
The black beast that pinched the bug and threw it out was also a little dazed, not understanding
