Floating World Music

"Little idiot, get up soon, you haven't finished your homework for this month, have you?" The man wiped the porcelain and slapped the table vigorously, waking up the girl lying on the table.

"Hmm, what homework? Isn't it just a month..." The woman's fine hair was scattered on the table, as smooth as flowing water.

"Well, probably because you won't get up without mentioning your homework, the guests will be here soon."

This is the end of an alley in northern Italy.Unlike the deserted alleys that had been banned earlier, this place still has an Italian style, of course, if you can ignore the strange house in front of you.On the surface, the lime-mottled house seems to be no different from its surroundings, except that its closed door is carved with intricately grained wood.It is obviously a narrow alley, but the store also placed two miniature stone statues at the entrance.If you look closely, you will find that these two stone statues look strange. One has the mane of a lion, but has the horn of a unicorn.Another coiled up appeared to be a Chinese dragon, but was carved from obsidian and had what looked like iron chains wrapped around it.One black and one white, no symmetry at all.

Push the door in, and you will find that there are some jade, stone, porcelain, etc. from China piled up on the shelves inside, which looks like an antique shop.However, the ground is full of strange potted plants, and flowers and plants that cannot be named are growing wantonly.Maybe it's more of a grocery store?

In Italy at the beginning of the month, the waterspout hadn't risen yet, but the continuous heavy rain had begun to spread.

The girl squinted at the heavy rain outside, and the glass window was knocked and crackled.

"The two alleys on the north side of the town are basically sealed off by Peng Lie, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach." The man's slender white hair was dragged loosely on the ground, and his white clothes fluttered. If it wasn't for the two scarlet eyes, it was probably just A linear existence?

As if thinking of something, the man sneered, "I didn't expect that people on earth in this era would have no resistance to Kui's existence at all. Guess, when will all the owners of 7^3 be wiped out? God."

The man in white is called the black-faced god, but he is a guy in black all over.His long black hair was tied up casually, he was wearing a black chivalrous suit, his eyes were slightly closed, and he leaned against the wall to close his eyes.Hearing this, he just raised his eyes to look at the man in white, and then closed his eyes again.However, the moment he raised his eyes, a golden stream of light flashed by, and the temperature of the whole room suddenly dropped.

If it wasn't for a girl in hot shorts and a short shirt lying on the table, maybe outsiders would think that these two were ancient people from China when they saw it.

Seeing that the black-faced god ignored him, the man in white shrugged his shoulders, and began to...knot the woman's hair with a harmless face.

"People have died in those two alleys for two days in a row. It is still Peng Lie's, this time it seems to be the consultant outside the door." The woman's slightly cold voice sounded sober.

"Tsk tsk, the rings are obviously combined into one, what are the consultants outside the door doing?" The man in white raised his eyebrows.

"Probably to preserve the tradition? After all, it is Peng Lie, inheriting history?" The woman tilted her head, and then seemed to think of something, "Where is the promised guest? Bai Ze? Are you lying to me again?" The woman frowned, and then Take back your hair from the white-clothed man named Bai Ze.

"Walking around the door."

When the woman heard this, she got up and walked out the door.

"I'm sorry, miss, you've been wandering here for a long time. Is there anything I can do for you?" The woman put on a professional smile and looked at the woman with big red wavy hair outside.

"Ah, sorry, I..."

"It's fate to be here, please come in and have a cup of tea. Ah, I am the owner of the shop here, and my surname is Lezheng."

"Lezheng?" the woman pronounced awkwardly, "It really is from China. That...my name is..." The woman looked at this strange shop, no matter where it was, it was a mess, but there was an inexplicable vitality .The two men had already disappeared.

"No." The girl made a silent motion, "You don't need to report your name when you come to our store."

"...I was introduced by a friend. I heard that Ms. Lezheng can use the mysterious oriental secret technique to solve some strange things...so..."

"Well, that's true." The girl tilted her head, "Then, I would like to hear more about it."

"Ah, it's like this...Actually, I have nowhere to go. My friends don't believe what I said, and I know it's absurd...but I'm really going crazy." The woman said in a babble.

Look, you're going crazy.The girl complained in her heart.

Although the woman's hair is well-groomed, but the woman's face is gray and white, and the makeup seems to have come out without much modification. Maybe she didn't notice that the two colors of her chest straps are different...

"Well, my boyfriend...is from Japan, well, it's kind of weird, he always wears a baguette, but he's actually very nice. Last week, his boss said he left unexpectedly , I don't believe it at all. Because he is at my house every day now... It's exactly the same as before, nothing at all..."

"Wait, you mean he's here now?" What?Ms. Lezheng has a question in her heart that mmp doesn't know whether she should say it, you are a dead person and you have already reached the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, what are you doing here?

"Yes, he is still the same as before, eating and sleeping with me...just not going out, I didn't believe his boss at all at first, after all, I have never seen his boss. But, the day before yesterday, he Suddenly started to go out, looking lost, I was very worried, so I went out."

"And then? Obviously, what happened."

"Yes, I followed him to the northern alley... because it is forbidden to enter there now. So I shouted at him desperately, but..." The woman couldn't finish speaking, and then began to cry, with big tears welling up out. "The people behind me pulled me back, and everyone said that no one was there... No one could see him except me!" The woman became agitated and knocked over the porcelain cup.

Wow, that's from Jingdezhen...

However, the girl sighed.

"Well, although you may not believe it, your boyfriend is indeed dead. What you have seen these days is just his afterimage." The girl frowned, as if trying to explain it better.

"Afterimage??"

"Well, for example, you look up at the incandescent lamp above, and then close your eyes. Then you will find that you can still see the lamp for a moment, which is a bit similar to the principle of afterimage."

"You're talking about residual vision. But it's people..."

"Well, in fact, the existence of people is also the same. It doesn't mean that when a person disappears, everything about him in this world will disappear. Can you understand it as a soul? After the average person dies, there will indeed be no afterimage, because there is no obsession to keep A person's thoughts. It can be seen that he is very concerned about you, but the afterimage will only exist for a few days at most. After the first seven days, nothing will be left. You don't have to..."

"We...we are going to get married." The woman seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and burst into tears, "I don't believe he's really gone, we've already taken wedding photos..."

"Uh, well, I'm so sorry..." It's really... helpless to encounter this kind of problem.

The girl can only silently let the woman cry.

After a long time, the woman finally stopped crying.

From nowhere, the girl got a bouquet of flowers, a strange bouquet of flowers, light purple single petals with branches wrapped around vines.

"Please take this bunch of flowers for me to worship him. Also, here is a pack of granules. If you really can't sleep, please drink it. Everything will be fine."

"Thank you..." The woman left in a hurry.

The moment the door closed, the two people who were not there immediately appeared.

"It's... a boring business." Bai Ze curled his lips, "However, you idiot, your comforting skills are still as usual... Bad."

The woman choked for a moment and looked at the black-haired man, who nodded silently.

"Even Wu Jin...you can't help it!" The girl puffed her cheeks, "Because I don't understand such things as feelings, life and death, and so on. The business is doing this kind of…”

"Just now, there was no charge." Wu Jin said.

The girl opened her mouth and closed it silently.

"Well, I didn't do anything anyway, it's just a vanished afterimage, nothing serious, just a bunch of 'paper off'."

"Heh, the paper to requite the dead and the ashes to let the living sleep peacefully, the little idiot is still generous." Bai Ze grabbed the girl's hair.

"Emma, ​​it hurts. Bai Ze, you..."

"I planted that with my own hands!! Is it worthless?"

"Huh? You threw the seeds on the ground casually. There is a pile of such stuff in the backyard. How valuable is it? A waste of land! Land is very expensive!" The girl also retorted dissatisfied.

"That woman's boyfriend... should be the one who died in the alley to the north a few days ago." Wu Jin was cleaning up the spilled tea.

"Baguette?" the girl muttered.

"Well, that's the standard configuration for consultants outside Pengo Lie's door."

"No wonder, I'm afraid afterimages will exist and be affected by 'Qui'." The girl was thoughtful, "Well, Bai Ze, find a way to disclose this news to Peng Gelie's consultant outside the door."

"Hey, the little idiot is ready to make a move?"

"What's the deal. 'If the owner and monitor of 7^3 don't come to the door in person, no matter what happens, the musicians are not allowed to intervene, even if 7^3 is destroyed because of it'. Which ancestor made the rules back then? yes……"

"Huh?" Bai Ze and Wu Jin glanced at the girl.

"Too wise!"

"I knew it." Bai Ze patted the girl's head helplessly, "You little idiot is so lazy, if she hadn't broken through the limit, this girl would have planned to eat and drink in China as a magic stick Bar."

Hearing this, Wu Jin had a rare expression of approval.

The author has something to say: Why do you have to adjust the space manually, it’s so tiring.Well this is a flashback.Applause, the heroine appeared.
