After adopting paranoid gods

Ji Tang was completely stunned, his mind went blank, and he didn't even realize that the other party kissed him.

The man let go of Ji Tang's chin, bent down, and carefully patted the dirt off Ji Tang's body, while saying to the guard beside him, "Bring this boy to my bed later."

He glanced at the group of skeletons who wanted to hurt Ji Tang just now, and continued in a cold voice: "Then, remember to dispose of them, and don't let Tang Tang see them again.",

The group of skeletons didn't expect this living boy to have such a big backstage. They were pale and completely frozen in place.

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away, leaving only Ji Tang standing there in a daze.It took him a long time to react slowly, his mind exploded with a bang, and his heart was filled with various complicated emotions.Shy, helpless, confused...

what happened.

Things seemed... to be developing in a direction he didn't expect.

When he was at a loss, Ben's phone, which was dropped on the ground, suddenly turned on the screen, and a notification message from the ghost shelter app popped up.

【Congratulations!You have successfully met the four-star ghost of this mission!Good luck with your mission! 】

Four-star ghost?

It turned out that the man just now was the target this time.

Ji Tang frowned.

Logically speaking, they should be complete strangers, but that ghost is very familiar with him.

Even... kissed him.

Ji Tang licked her red lips after being kissed, and there seemed to be a strange smell on her lips.His ears were flushed, and he clutched the phone tightly.

It seemed that the ghosts he encountered this time were different from the previous ones.

Li Gui knew him, but he didn't know Li Gui.

How the hell...how did he bring this ghost home.

Ji Tang's mind was dizzy, and his body became extremely tired due to excessive running, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

After he was brought into the sedan chair by the guards here, he fell into a drowsy sleep.

-

When Ji Tang woke up, she found herself lying on a big strange bed.The dark brown wooden ceiling greets the eye, and the bed sheets and pillows are also black.Next to Ji Tang was a pillow with dents on it.

This shows that...he is sleeping on someone else's bed now, and seems to be sharing the same bed with someone else.

Ji Tang reacted immediately, trying to struggle to sit up.Fortunately, after a night's rest, his body's fatigue was washed away, and he got out of bed very neatly.

He stepped on the cold floor with bare feet, and carefully looked at the surrounding furnishings.

The room was very clean, except for a bed, there was only a table and chairs.The table looked big and heavy, engraved with all kinds of complicated patterns, and it looked like an expensive thing.

The walls, like the ceiling, are made of bronze, exuding a refreshing chill.

There was a strange fragrance in the air.

Ji Tang walked towards the door, but found that the door was tightly locked by a bronze lock and could not be opened at all.And this room doesn't even have windows, so it's impossible to tell where he is now.But the only thing that is certain is that he is still in the ghost world.

Ji Tang: "..."

Is he imprisoned here?

Ji Tang returned to the bed, curled up into a ball sullenly, and retracted herself into the bed.

This bed seemed to have really been slept on by that man, and there was still a faint scent of aloes on it.But Ji Tang didn't know where to hide besides this bed.He rolled on the bed, the milky scent completely covered up the aloes, and the whole bed was filled with a fragrant and sweet smell.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, the door suddenly opened.

Ji Tang woke up in an instant, he got out of bed, poked his head out, and carefully looked at the door.

Walking towards him was the four-star ghost he wanted to contain.

The tall man was wearing a black robe with wide sleeves hanging down his waist. The fabric of the cuffs rubbed against the long sword pinned to his waist, creating a gust of cold wind.The boots stepped on the cold bronze ground, and there were steady and loud footsteps.

He walked out from the darkness, Ji Tang finally saw his facial features clearly.

He was very handsome, with deep features, a high nose bridge, and a pair of cold golden eyes that gave people a very powerful deterrent.

But Ji Tang's first reaction was not that he was handsome, but that he was very familiar, as if he had seen him from somewhere, and he was the kind who would meet every moment.

Ji Tang froze in place, maintaining the posture of poking his head out of the bed, not knowing how to address him.

The man came to Ji Tang's side slowly, and said softly: "Are you awake? When did you wake up?"

Ji Tang pursed her lips and said cautiously: "Just now."

He must always be vigilant against this man, no matter how gentle he is to him, he is still a ghost, and he is currently the most resentful four-star ghost.The opponent can take his life at any time.

No one knew what kind of intentions this ghost had in approaching him.

After thinking about it, Ji Tang didn't forget to shrink into the bed full of vigilance.The man saw this little action, the man smiled, and he reached out to lift Ji Tang's quilt: "You don't have to be so on guard, we know each other."

Ji Tang: "..."

He stretched out a hand and tightly grasped the quilt that was about to leave him.

The man chuckled helplessly, and had no choice but to return the milk-scented quilt to him.

Ji Tang stared at him, and asked cautiously: "...do we know each other?"

If the other party knows oneself, it means that the other party knows all the details about oneself, which is a very dangerous thing.In the past, he knew very well about the coming ghosts, but now it's the other way around.

Faced with Ji Tang's question, the man frowned and sighed softly: "It seems that you have forgotten me." But he slightly raised the corners of his lips, folded his hands on his thighs, and glanced lightly at Ji Tang: "However, you still came to see me, I am very happy."

He had thought they would never meet again.

But when he saw a familiar and thin figure among the kneeling ghosts, his dead heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.

He walked over and recognized the other person, it was indeed his boy.

He came to him.

He couldn't hold it back at that time, and kissed Ji Tang, which filled his mouth with the familiar sweet milk fragrance.However, if an ordinary person were to face this long-lost reunion, he would probably eat Ji Tang alive.

Ji Tang shrinks her neck, and carefully shrinks back into the quilt.

He had a lot of things he wanted to ask the other party, but because of the inexplicable deterrence from the other party, he never dared to say it, and he didn't understand what the other party was saying at all.

Seeing that Ji Tang was nervous, the man chuckled and stood up.Go to the cabinet in the corner, open it, and then take out a handful of scattered things from it, and put it next to Ji Tang: "Here, I'll give you some sweets, good boy, don't be nervous."

His tone and actions seemed to be coaxing a child. It was hard to imagine that he had mercilessly ended the souls of a group of skeleton men just because they tried to hurt Ji Tang.

Ji Tang: "..."

He glanced at the candy that the man brought over. These were indeed candies, round snacks wrapped in candy wrappers with cartoon faces drawn on them, rather than some scary and strange gadgets.

He reached over, grabbed one in the palm of his hand, then took it apart and put it in his mouth.

——It’s his favorite flavor of toffee.

The smell of toffee in the air was stronger.

The man smiled and said: "You are still the same as before, you like to eat candy very much. I remember that you were always clamoring for candy at that time, but there are very few such sweet gadgets in the ghost world, almost none. Later, I ordered The ghost went to the top to inquire about the method of sugar production, and a sugar factory was specially built for you in the ghost world."

"Later, you left, but the sugar factory was not closed, and sugar was being processed every day. Now the sugar has piled up into a hill."

He didn't know that he was going to order the sugar factory to do this, since Ji Tang at that time would never come back.

He remembered that whenever the sugar factory started working, the whole ghost world would be filled with the aroma of toffee, which was the only warmth in this world full of death.

He smelled the aroma, as if Ji Tang had returned to him.

Probably for this reason.

Ji Tang: "..."

For a moment, he felt that the sugar in his hand was heavy.

But it also made him relax his guard against men a little.

Ji Tang got out of the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.

At the same time, he also noticed that his clothes had been changed, and he was replaced with the same black loose robe as the man.

"Where are my clothes?" he asked.

"Your clothes are all wet with sweat, I took them off and washed them for you."

The man pointed to a corner of the room: "It's hanging there."

Immediately afterwards, in this dark and mysterious room, Ji Tang saw his white fluffy pajamas bought at a discount, with the bunny pattern on it crumpled by men's washing, as if he was crying aggrievedly.

He also saw his blue boxer underwear hanging out to dry next to his clothes.

Ji Tang: "...???"

These few clothes were extremely inconsistent with the gloomy surroundings.

Moreover, the image of this powerful four-star ghost squatting on the ground and carefully washing his underpants flashed in Ji Tang's mind.

Ji Tang: "..."

Ji Tang's cheeks turned red, and he didn't dare to look directly into the man's eyes.

The man realized that Ji Tang was shy, and raised his eyebrows: "What is this, I even helped you take a bath—"

Ji Tang: "..."

The man approached him, bent down slightly, and whispered in his ear: "Your place is really white." The cold breath belonging to the ghost, with a faint woody fragrance, sprayed on the tips of Ji Tang's fair ears.

Ji Tang: "????"

He usually reacts a little slowly, but this time he instantly understood what the man was saying.Like a kitten with fizzy hair, he slammed away from the man.

He has experienced so many horrible scenes, but he was scared this time. He was really afraid that this ghost would say something else.

The man was amused by Ji Tang's sensitive reaction, and the smile bloomed on his stern face, like the northern permafrost that was about to be melted by the spring breeze.

The man's chin was pressed tightly against Ji Tang's shoulder socket, absorbing the faint milky fragrance from Ji Tang's body.He sighed softly, and murmured casually: "But I won't see you soon, I will disappear soon, just 24 hours later."

Ji Tang's sudden arrival may be the last gift from heaven to him.

His expression didn't change, even a little relaxed.

But thick black air was constantly pouring out from behind him, which showed that he still couldn't bear to part with Ji Tang——

Ji Tang was stunned: "What, what?"

The man rubbed Ji Tang's fluffy hair, and said, "When I disappear, I will send you back up. In the last 24 hours, you can just treat it as a tourist."

His expression was a bit unnatural, and the black air was getting thicker and thicker, as if he was covering up some kind of paranoid and crazy reluctance.

Ji Tang: "..."

Ji Tang asked hesitantly: "Is it really disappearing? Is it like bubbles... After 24 hours, pop it, and then there is nothing?"

The man nodded: "Yes."

Ji Tang's heart trembled, and he quickly asked, "Why did you disappear...?"

He could sense the black air behind the man and knew that the man was not joking.

It was the first time he encountered a ghost in this situation-after 24 hours, his soul flew away and could no longer stay in this world.

... The purpose of Ji Tang risking his life to come here is to bring this ghost home.But if this ghost has disappeared, how can it be "brought home"?

Ji Tang must stop him from disappearing within 24 hours before he can successfully bring him home.

Thinking of this, Ji Tang frowned.He is now in a completely strange place, knowing nothing and not even guaranteeing his own life.And if the ghost king's disappearance could be stopped, the ghost king himself would have stopped it long ago, why is he still needed?

There are two roads in front of Ji Tang now, the first one doesn't care about anything, once the 24 hours are up and the ghost king disappears, he can go back, and the most he can get is mission failure.The second one is to stop the ghost king from disappearing regardless of everything, and then bring him home.Of course, Ji Tang's life would definitely be endangered.

Ji Tang thought carefully.

He didn't forget to turn on his phone, wanting to see what time it is so that he can calculate the time.

But he saw the electronic watch in the mobile phone beating at an extremely fast speed.

The man also saw the strangeness in the phone, and explained: "The time lapse in the ghost world is different from the life world you are in. The time lapse in the ghost world is faster than that in the life world. I don't know how fast. Maybe you Stay here for 1 minute, and a day, a month, or even a year will have passed above. When you go back, thousands of years may have passed in the world of life."

Ji Tang's face turned pale, his heart stopped for half a beat, and he almost dropped his phone to the ground.

What he feared most still happened.

A minute here is a year there, if things are really what the man says they are.

——When he goes back, are the ghosts still there?

He disappeared suddenly, and he disappeared for such a long time. No one knew what the ghosts would do, let alone whether they would wait for him.

If they didn't wait for him or disappeared, then his home was really gone, and it was the home he had worked so hard to build.

Ji Tang's nose was a little red, he lowered his head, staring at the dark bronze floor.

The man noticed that Ji Tang was sad because of his words, and he patted Ji Tang on the head: "I guess, it is possible that 1 minute here is only equivalent to the above hour, so the time is not so long. Don't be afraid Ah, as soon as I disappear, I'll ask the ghost to take you back. For the rest of the time—you, stay with me, okay?"

He inadvertently bit the last sentence hard, and his deep eyes glowed scarlet.

Ji Tang didn't speak.

The man suddenly sat beside him, smiled and said, "Tangtang, hug me."

Ji Tang: "..."

Although Ji Tang was very reluctant, but the other party was the ghost he wanted to take in after all, he turned sideways and lightly touched the man's open chest.As a result, the man suddenly grabbed his waist and held him tightly in his arms.

The warmth of a living person warmed the man's cold embrace for a moment.

The man whispered: "You are as warm as I imagined."

When Ji Tang was here a long time ago, his body had no body temperature and was very cold.But he is also afraid of the cold, so he likes to stay in the house, covered with a thick fluffy quilt, and then curl up into a small ball in the quilt to keep himself warm, and sneezes a little softly from time to time.

At that time, the man felt that Ji Tang should not be born here, he should be a living person in the living world, with a rosy face and a warm body temperature.

Now, Ji Tang is really as he imagined, very warm, like the sun he has never seen before.

Ji Tang wondered why the man would say such things, but he was even more puzzled why the man disappeared.

He asked: "Sir, may I ask why you disappeared?" If you can find out the reason why the man wants to disappear, maybe you can speed up the speed of preventing him from disappearing.

The man paused for a while, then he touched Ji Tang's head: "There are some things that you should not ask."

Ji Tang: "..."

"You can play here casually, and I will come back to accompany you after I finish some things." The man walked to the door, unlocked the heavy bronze lock, and opened the door for Ji Tang.

He has already ordered his guards to keep an eye on Ji Tang all the time, so that Ji Tang cannot suffer any harm in the ghost world.

As soon as he walked out of the door, his sun-like golden eyes suddenly turned into a frightening scarlet, and his expression returned to ice-cold—that was his original appearance, a bloodthirsty ghost.

He only disguised his most gentle side for Ji Tang to see.

-

Before Ji Tang could say anything, the man disappeared.

He curled up back on the bed and fiddled with his phone.

Although the time display on the mobile phone is confusing, the countdown and stopwatch can still be used...

He set the countdown to 24 hours, during which time he had to stop the man from disappearing and bring him home.

Time must not be delayed any longer, if the time outside passes much faster than he imagined, and he procrastinates here, the consequences will be disastrous...

Ji Tang got out of bed, tidied up her clothes, and put her phone in her pocket.He looked at the wide open door and decided to go out and see if he could find some clues.

He has been here for so long, and he hasn't seen the appearance of the ghost world.

Ji Tang left the house and came to the ghost world.

In fact, the ghost world is similar to the world he lived in. It is very big, with various houses and streets, but there is no sunlight here, only dim yellow candlelight.The sky is also thick black, lifeless.

There are very few people here, and there are more skeleton guards walking up and down the street.

Ji Tang thought that walking here alone would cause them to attack again.Unexpectedly, they were all full of respect and guard against Ji Tang, and even looked at him with admiration.

Their ghost king has never been close to men and women. For thousands of years, he has been alone.

A ghost once presented him with three hundred beauties, but instead of showing any emotion on his face, he drove them all out.

But Ji Tang can easily capture the ghost king's kiss.

It's like having a long relationship with him.

Ji Tang was made a little uncomfortable by their eyes, he went around the street and returned to the Naihe Bridge.

In fact, he is quite new to the profession of "Extradition of Resentful Souls". If there is a chance, he would like to experience it again.

But when he looked towards the end of the bridge, there was already a new extradition man replacing him, an old man with white beard in white clothes.

Ji Tang sighed lightly, a little regretful.

He stood at the exit of the bridge, wanting to see if there were any ghost messengers passing by, and then asked them what happened to the ghost king's disappearance.

Ji Tang has already wasted three hours all the way, and there are only 21 hours left in the blink of an eye. He must hurry up.

Ji Tang waited there for a while, and suddenly heard someone calling his name.

It was an old and kindly female voice.

Ji Tang looked back, and found that an old lady appeared behind him at some point.

There was a table in front of the old woman, some soup bowls were placed on the table, and there was a large boiler cooking soup beside it.She looked at Ji Tang with a smile and called Ji Tang over.

Ji Tang walked over cautiously.

The big boiler next to the old man was gurgling and boiling the soup, and the aroma that Ji Tang had never smelled before was very fragrant, but a bit bitter.

Ji Tang was puzzled: "Grandma, what is this?"

The old woman waved her cattail fan and replied, "Mengpo soup."

According to legend, the soup made from human tears can make you forget everything after drinking it.

Ji Tang froze.It seems that this old man is the Meng Po in ancient legends.

The old grandma took a few glances at Ji Tang, and said with a smile, "Tangtang, long time no see."

Ji Tang: "Do you know my name?"

The old grandma narrowed her eyes: "Why don't you know? I watched you born and raised here. Oh, you've finally become a living person, and your complexion is no longer white at last... How beautiful is your red face?" Ah, mother-in-law is also very envious of you being able to have life."

Ji Tang's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he asked: "I'm sorry, mother-in-law. I seem to have forgotten everything about this place, and I don't remember that I lived here. Can you tell me my previous story? "

"can."

The old grandma asked Ji Tang to sit down, and poured Ji Tang a cup of tea by the way.

Ji Tang stared at the cup of hot tea in a daze.

The old lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, this tea is authentic oolong tea. It's not Mengpo soup. Besides, I dare not give you Mengpo soup. You belong to him..."

Ji Tang: "..."

He took a sip of the tea, it was very fragrant.He didn't forget to secretly glance at his phone. Now there are only nineteen hours left.

Nineteen hours, one thousand and 140 minutes, can he stop his disappearance?

The old grandma took her eyes away from Ji Tang, and she looked at the bridge of Naihe not far away.

The Naihe Bridge was covered by mist, and in the haze, only the blood-red outline of the bridge could be seen. Everything looked extremely dark and mysterious.

The old lady murmured: "You were not a human at first, you were born a ghost, a very ordinary ghost. After you grew up, you took up the job of extradition of resentful souls at Naiheqiao. You are excellent, whether it is Ghosts with multiple grievances can run towards a warm afterlife in your hands."

"You were going to work here forever in obscurity—until you met him."
