Mr hell

When Huai Qi came home, the table was full of delicate dishes.

His heart beat faster, he opened the bedroom door, and he saw Jian Yisu squatting next to his computer mainframe, fiddling with something.

Jian Yisu didn't look up, and greeted: "It's really accurate, it's just finished."

Huai Qi was a little happy, and said, "What are you doing?"

Jian Yisu stood up, without saying a word, raised his chin to the bedside table, and said, "Look what it is."

Huaiqi seemed to see the glowing headboard of the bed, squinted his eyes, and saw the switch that he joked about that day, as well as the PS5 console and handle that had always existed in his wish.

"Where did this come from," Huai Qi wondered.

"I went to scare the owner of the flagship store. He said that he will contract all your game consoles in the future."

"..."

"You..." Huai Qi scratched his hair in dismay, stretched out a finger, and said seriously, "You can't do this just because you are a ghost. If you put it on a human body, it will be treated as robbery."

Jian Yisu listened to him teaching herself with a smile, and said indifferently: "Oh."

"I can't take this, I'll send it back to someone later," Huaiqi looked at the brand-new packaging and said with a complicated mood, "Although you are doing it for my own good, please don't make some "Don't laugh, you are listening to me?" . "

Jian Yisu crossed his arms and said, "Actually, I'm not like this, unless a fool believes it."

"..."

"I lied to you." Jian Yisu spread his hands and said frankly, "I am a good ghost who abides by the law, and of course your gift came through legal means."

Huai Qi, who had just been fooled, immediately "defended" and said: "I don't believe your nonsense anymore."

Jian Yisu laughed twice, followed him to the living room, leaned close to Huai Qi's red ears and said, "Really?"

Huai Qi sat down to eat and didn't speak.

Huai Qi is actually extremely happy, but he has been wrapped in a quiet skin all year round, and he is not used to showing joy.

Food is also his favorite.

Jian Yisu's understanding of him was too subtle.Not only the taste of the food, but also the commonly used buttons for the game. Huaiqi played with him for a long time before he realized that the buttons had already been set to the most comfortable one for him before he changed them.

He couldn't help but secretly glanced at Jian Yisu's side face, and his gaze fell on his slender fingers that were operating the handle leisurely.

"Zhizhi," Jian Yisu continued to stare at the screen and said, "Your health bar will be gone."

Huai Qi quickly came back to his senses, but when he looked away, his own split screen on the computer had gone black.

Jian Yisu asked, "Do you want to do it all over again?"

"It's okay, just go through this level by yourself." I have already cleared the first week. Huai Qi said shyly, "Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to start all over again." "

"Two-player single-player is not a competitive confrontation, we just want to have fun together," Jian Yisu said, "Time and score are not so important."

Huaiqi watched helplessly on the screen, the character controlled by Jian Yisu jumped into the trap under the high cliff, the angle of view dropped, black gradually covered the entire screen, and the UI of "restart" appeared.

Huai Qi was stunned for a while.

He has heard this sentence before.

……

The man came home exhausted, and threw his suit casually on the hanger.

Huai Qi heard the voice coming out of the study, hung up his clothes and followed him into the bedroom.

"..."

"It's okay" these days there are frequent boats, and there are always bastards going to the port to act as demons. The man lay on the pillow wearily and said, "Don't let people stop." "

"..."

"It's the opposite party looking for someone to deliberately find fault. Blame Wei Ge for the flaws that were prepared before."

"..."

The man smiled, wrapped one hand around the back of Huai Qi's neck, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.He said: "Brother Wei helped solve both our household registration and your transfer qualification in the municipal high school. This is a matter of human affection, and the money is not paid."

"..."

"You don't have to worry about me. Concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination first. The part-time job will be discussed after you become an adult. I heard that there are work-study programs and scholarships after you go to college..."

"..."

"Ah, you'll be eighteen in three months?" He said, "You're still pretty young in my memory."

"..."

"Tsk, three years older than you is too big, call me brother."

Huai Qi probably called "Brother", because the man's tone became very cheerful, he said with a smile: "Didn't you just do the test in the study, why did you come to see me, are you hungry and begging for food?"

"..."

"I haven't played games before." He said, "Change to a relaxing way."

But Huai Qi seemed to have said some attractive conditions, so he raised his eyebrows and compromised: "Okay then."

"..."

"I'm not familiar with the operation, I'm holding you back." He put down the handle, watching the dull colored pixels on the TV gradually stop beating, and the lofi music in the background was still playing cheerfully.

"..."

"Hey, don't kill yourself," the BGM changed sharply, and he reached out to stop Huaiqi, but it was a step too late.After restarting, both characters are resurrected together at the save point.The man said helplessly: "You can finish the map by yourself, so the score for this round will be gone."

Suddenly, as if someone opened the window on a rainy day, the dull voice suddenly became clear, and Huai Qi began to hear what he said clearly.

Sitting cross-legged and shoulder-to-shoulder with the man, he replied, "I'm just trying to have fun with you. Time and points don't matter."

……

Jian Yisu put down the handle, frowned, wiped away the moisture from the corners of Huaiqi's eyes, and asked, "What's wrong."

This is a strange phenomenon.Every time that young man appeared in Huai Qi's memories, his lacrimal glands would shrink into a ball when he was afraid, and tears would flow out subconsciously.

Obviously Huaiqi himself didn't have any big mood swings, but his crying reaction was like a branded habit when he remembered "him".It was as if the body wanted to wash away the gray mist on that person's face with tears.

"Is that person you?" Huai Qi grabbed his hand and asked, "I know you can see what's recalled in my mind."

Jian Yisu fell silent.As soon as he moved his lips, the hideous scar on his neck suddenly appeared, as if to stop him from speaking.This made Jian Yisu's face change for a moment.

"Is it you?" Huai Qi said, "Every time you talk about the past with me, this scar will appear. That person is you, right? You said that you can answer me yes and no..."

Huai Qi's voice stopped abruptly, because he saw that on Jian Yisu's soulful skin, the scar was getting deeper and deeper from the middle, and the blood was getting redder and redder, as if it was going back to the unhealed wound before of.

Jian Yisu couldn't even answer "yes" or "no" this time, so he could only force a smile and said with his lips: "Zhizhi, don't ask."

"Sorry" Did I ask too hastily. Huai Qi wanted to touch his neck, but Jian Yisu dodged it, and he said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay. "

At this time, Huai Qi's timer alarm clock rang.Two hours are up.

Huai Qi blurted out "Yi Su", but he still disappeared from his eyes.

Looking at the empty side, Huai Qi, who was still happy just now, seemed to have been eroded by the void in his heart.

Only the clock in the room was still ticking, and the two little ghosts on the table were lying on the side of the glass bottle, looking curiously at the dazed Huai Qi.

……

Wen Qian: "Curse? Something like that probably."For example, if a person is afraid of dogs in life, his ghost may also be afraid of dogs barking.Anyway, the state of the ghost is closely related to its life. "

Huai Qi: "That is to say, something similar to 'curse' will affect the behavior of the ghost, such as "it will prevent him from doing or saying certain things. "

Wen Qian: "Yes."

Huai Qi: "Then how do we explain this?"

Wen Qian: "Actually, these are all supernatural phenomena. Regardless of materialism and idealism, which theory do you think can be explained universally. We made up the story I told you."

Huaiqi: "..."

Huai Qi: "Oh."

Huaiqi: "By the way, Taoist priest, when will I transfer my previous consulting fee to you?"

Wen Qian: "No need, someone will pay for you."

Huai Qi: "Is it Jian Yisu?"

Wen Qian: "You think so."

Huai Qi: "But do ghosts still own property?"

Wen Qian: "Ghosts have no property, but dead people have inheritance."

Huai Qi didn't fall asleep all night, and when he went to the school's counseling center the next day, the dark circles under his eyes were very serious.

He went a little earlier than the appointed time, and when he went upstairs, he stared at Wen Qian's last words for a long time.

Is it possible that there are still people who specially pay the Taoist priest's fee during his lifetime, in case he asks him for help after his death?Then this customer's ability to "know the destiny" is enough for him to open another door.

He understood that Jian Yisu must have reached some kind of deal with the priest, but even if he asked, he would not get any details from the two people.

Huai Qi finally sent Wen Qian a "thank you".Looking up, I have reached the destination floor.

Each floor of the student center has a large area. There are other rooms for student activities beyond the counseling room on this floor, but it is much quieter than the lower floors.

Huai Qi could hear the echo of his footsteps.

As soon as he took a few steps, he saw a man in a suit sitting on a high chair at the door, wearing white earphones, his long legs crossed together leisurely, his eyelashes drooping, and he was concentrating on looking at the two prints. Speech on A4 paper.

He combed his hair up this time, and his handsome face softened the seriousness brought by the meticulous clothing. This time, he looked like a leader who was as friendly as he was majestic.

This is Jian Shuo.

His fingers tapped on the paper one after another, it was a very small movement, but Huai Qi, who saw everything in his eyes, was nervous - Huai Qi didn't know why.

Huai Qi walked to the door not far from him, which was the consulting room.

But he was stopped in time by a bony hand, which was still holding a blank piece of paper, and touched his hipbone as it reached out hastily.

"Student..." The owner of the hand was Jian Shuo, and he reminded in a very soft voice, "There are still people inside."

"Ah, sorry."

"If you have made an appointment, you can wait in the opposite classroom." Jian Shuo pointed to the high stool beside him and smiled, "Or here."

"Thank you."

Huai Qi had no choice but to go to a place separated by a few stools and sit down.Pretending to be looking out the window with a blank face, the sparrows are sitting on the wires, very monotonous.

After watching the bird for a long time, Huai Qi, who immediately degenerated into a primitive man when he got along with strangers, got tired of watching the sparrows, and then remembered that the entertainment tool of modern people has such a thing as a mobile phone.

But as soon as he swiped open the screen, a friend request came into view.

FlowersforAlgernon has requested to add you as a friend.

Verification message: Student Huai, why do you sit so far away.

Huaiqi: "..."

He looked up and saw that Jian Shuo was still reading the manuscript as if nothing had happened.

I don't know which nerve went to the wrong door today, but the brain cells that survived the embarrassment actually huddled together and directed Huaiqi to stand up.He stiffly moved the stool to Jian Shuo's side, sat down again, and sent a message on his mobile phone under Jian Shuo's eyes: "I'm really sorry, senior, I didn't see you just now."

"..."

After sending it, Huai Qi heard his heartbeat stop for two seconds.

It wasn't until he heard Jian Shuo's soft laughter that he realized that his words and deeds just now seemed like the thing on his neck was an empty shell.

The embarrassed Huai Qi planned to shut up and quietly looked out the window to watch the birds.
