After adopting paranoid gods

"—until you met him."

Ji Tang listened to Granny Meng's words, her eyebrows twitched inexplicably: "And then? Who is he?"

"You don't even know him now?" The old lady was a little surprised: "He is the current King of Ghosts, the man who has been with you just now."

Ji Tang frowned, his head was a little confused.

It seems that the man in the suit said that he lost half of his soul, which is completely true.

Not only did he lose half of his soul, but he also lost a lot of important memories. Those who were once important to him seemed to have been forgotten by him.

Grandma: "He loves you very much, loved you before, and loves you now."

"..." Hearing this, Ji Tang's ears were a little red, he pursed his lips, and turned to the important topic: "...then do you know why he disappeared?"

He glanced at the time, now an hour had passed, and only nineteen hours remained.

The old grandma laughed. She shook her cattail fan and shook her head helplessly.

"It seems that he is reluctant to tell you."

"You know that you were originally a ghost, but why did you become a living person later?"

"Why?" Ji Tang was stunned.

"He exchanged his yin life for your life."

Ji Tang was stunned suddenly, his heart beat wildly, and he cast an unbelievable look at Granny Meng, his tone trembled slightly, and he stammered a bit: "Yes, is it true?"

Meng Po: "Of course, I have worked here for hundreds of thousands of years, watching you together."

Ji Tang said nervously: "...Why did he kill me? Why does he like me?"

Granny Meng shook her head: "I don't know about this, and I don't know why he loves you so much. You have to ask him himself. But your relationship is really enviable. He uses his infinite life to give You changed a hundred-year-old life.

It is precisely because of this reason that he will disappear... His yin life is over.

But it might be worth it for him, to let his beloved one live in that thriving and warm world. "

Ji Tang was speechless.

Granny Meng: "Don't stand here, go and accompany him. Otherwise, he will disappear and you will never see him again." She paused, remembering something: "Speaking of it, you obviously forgot about him, but why? Do you want to rush over when he is about to disappear?"

Ji Tang touched the phone in his pocket, not knowing how to answer it.

These things are all guided by the APP in the mobile phone.Step by step, towards the warmth he wanted.

This time, he seems to have found someone who loves him, but...

The other party is about to disappear.

Ji Tang: "Where is he? I'll go see him first."

Po Meng thought for a moment: "At this time...he should be in the office, here, the office is over there."

She raised her hand and pointed to a house not far away.

Ji Tang: "..."

Ji Tang: "Office?"

It turns out that the ghost world also has an office.

"Row."

Ji Tang nodded, and hurriedly ran to the place pointed by Po Meng.

The ghost world seems to be very narrow, but it is actually very big, compared to the world Ji Tang lived in.

Ji Tang crossed countless streets, ran across countless bridges, and finally arrived at the other party's house when there were only seventeen hours left.

This house is different from other ancient houses, it... looks a bit modern.The building is generally square and beautifully painted with white paint, and there is a sign saying "Hell Office" at the door.

Ji Tang: "..."

Before Ji Tang could knock on the door, the skeleton men on both sides opened the door respectfully for him.

Ji Tang went straight to the innermost room.He stood at the door and knocked gently: "Sir, are you inside?"

Speaking of which, he has been here for a while, and he still doesn't know the name of this four-star ghost.

"come in."

Ji Tang cautiously opened the door, and what greeted his eyes was a very modern style tiled floor, a leather sofa, and a man sitting at a desk in the middle.He wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses with gold rims, under which were shimmering golden eyes.

At the same time, Ji Tang noticed the big-character posters pasted on the wall.

[New era, new hell. 】

Ji Tang: "..."

Ji Tang: "???"

Quite novel.

The man took off his glasses, smiled lightly and said, "Tangtang, you came to play with me?"

Ji Tang was a little uncomfortable by the other party's relaxed appearance, he hurried over and said: "——No, I want to ask you a very important matter."

He clutched the hem of his clothes tightly, his heart beating wildly.

He has a lot of problems wanting each other.

——For example, why should I give my life to him.

He should not be a living person, but an unknown worker in the ghost world.

The man wondered: "What's the matter?"

He rarely saw Ji Tang with such an excited and nervous expression.

"..." Ji Tang lowered her head, thinking about what to say.But before he could speak, the man interrupted him.

He raised his head and saw the man looking at him with a smile, his cold golden eyes showed some emotions that he couldn't see.

"Tangtang, do you know about those things?"

"..."

Ji Tang nodded.

The man was not angry, he stretched out his hand, gently wrapped the boy in his arms, and said softly:

"You don't have to worry about me, just treat it as a tourist here, and when the time is up, I will definitely send you back. Well, I will also give you some candy as a souvenir, candy only found in the underworld."

Ji Tang clutched the corner of his clothes tightly and shook his head. He faltered and said, "I didn't pay attention to these things, but why did you like me at that time? Why did you pay me all this?" Wanting to get everything he wanted to know impatiently.

The man rubbed his head, his eyes were full of tenderness that he couldn't see.

He and Ji Tang have known each other for a long time.

At that time, the young man was just an ordinary soul extraditionist, without a name, only a cold number 007.

The boy loves milk candy very much, and always pesters him to eat sweets, which is soft and sticky, but there is very little candy in the underworld, and the boy is always babbling every day. He looks distressed, so he built the first sugar factory in the underworld for the boy , and gave the boy a name.

The surname was randomly chosen by him from a hundred surnames, and the first name was the boy's favorite food—sugar.

The boy has a sweet and warm name, Ji Tang.

Although Xiao Jitang was a ghost at that time, he yearned for the life of a living person.

He is the soul extraditor on the Naihe Bridge, helping the dead souls to cross the bridge.Over time, he also heard many dead souls mention the world that belongs to the living.

He knew that the world had the sun, the stars, the moon, and all kinds of flowers and plants.

He has never seen the side of those things, he only knows that those things have the warmth he couldn't ask for.

The man still remembered that every night when they slept together, the teenager would curl up in a ball, huddled in his arms, and then quietly shared the world he had heard about.

The boy heard that people in that world are warm, and the air there has the fragrance of flowers, not the unpleasant smell of ashes here.He had also heard that the people who lived there had boundless hope and vitality.

There is still light there, and there is warmth beyond his imagination.

The boy's voice was very soft and clear, and the man could hear Ji Tang feeling a little aggrieved and envious.

After Xiao Jitang said these words, his eye sockets and nose would be a little red.He was afraid that men would see him, so he huddled under the covers and slept.

At that time, Xiao Jitang was a ghost, he had no body temperature, and was very afraid of the cold, so he could only fall asleep by curling up tightly.

The man still remembers that once, Ji Tang ran to the stove, warmed himself very warmly, and then hugged him tenderly.

He clearly remembered what Ji Tang said.

——"Do you think I am alive now, and my arms are warm."

"It would be great if I was really a living person, so that I can give you warm embraces and kisses every day."

He couldn't describe his emotions at that time.

At that time, he only felt that no matter what, he wanted his teenager to go to that world, have a warm and powerful life, and then become a real person.

Later, he made an exchange with the sky, using his unlimited yin life to exchange a 100-year life for the boy.

Now his yin life is about to run out and disappear, but he feels that it is not a loss, really not a loss.

-

After listening to their previous stories, Ji Tang was stunned, unable to react for a long time.

For a long time, he lowered his head, stared at the floor, and murmured: "I, I... really don't deserve this." In his outlook on life for 20 years, he only felt that he was an ordinary person, even if he knew such a person. What a ghost, he is also an ordinary person.

He never knew he had these experiences, or knew someone like them.

"You deserve it."

The man was amused by Ji Tang: "Speaking of which, I haven't said how I fell in love with you yet."

Ji Tang became puzzled and blinked: "You...how did you fall in love with me?"

The man whispered: "Actually, I was not a ghost at first, but a human being. This is a secret that no one knows except you."

But that was a long time ago, so long that even he didn't quite remember it.

When he was human, he died at the age of 16.It is precisely because he has been a human being and has seen the sun, flowers and plants that Ji Tang, who cannot ask for these things, feels very distressed.

After his death, like countless dead souls, he came to the Naihe Bridge and met Ji Tang, who was the soul extraditor.

At that time, Ji Tang was a head shorter than him, very thin, with a pale and delicate face, but he was a powerful extraditionist who had extradged countless souls.

He died too early and had a lot of grievances, so Ji Tang worked hard to help him unlock many things, and also fulfilled many wishes that he couldn't ask for before he was alive, before he helped him cross the bridge. It took several days .

But when he was about to enter reincarnation, he suddenly didn't want to leave, he held Ji Tang's clothes tightly, and wanted to go home with Ji Tang.

He was still a half-grown little boy at that time, covered in dust, with disheveled hair, but his eyes were surprisingly clean, and anyone who saw him would soften his heart.

Ji Tang had no choice but to adopt him secretly.Ji Tang doesn't know how to raise a child, but she still raises him patiently, giving him good food and clothes.The warmth he gained was even more than what he had when he was alive.

But what Ji Tang did was against the rules of reincarnation, and once discovered, he would be punished.

He didn't let Ji Tang be discovered, but instead gave Ji Tang the most powerful protection in the whole ghost world——

After he grew up, he vigorously eliminated the corrupt and decadent old ghost king and became the new ghost king.Now the whole ghost world knows that Ji Tang is the ghost king's lover, and no one can hurt him, not even a single hair is allowed.

-

After the man finished speaking, there were still sixteen hours left.

Ji Tang sat on the chair, her ears turned red, her head seemed to be covered with paste, and she was at a loss.He was not a living person, but a little undead. Like his ghosts, he yearned for the living world very much.He also loved someone very much, and was loved rumblingly.

"By the way, I almost forgot that you are a living person who needs to eat. You haven't eaten since you came here, have you? I'll make you something to eat."

The man suddenly thought of this, he touched Ji Tang's head to express his comfort, then turned and left the office.

Ji Tang sat quietly on the chair, grabbing the corner of her clothes.

After a while, the man brought a small plate, and Ji Tang also smelled the long-lost aroma of food, and couldn't help but look up eagerly.

On the small plate is a bowl of noodles in a clay bowl.

The soft and glutinous noodles are sprinkled with green scallions and mixed with a few thin slices of minced meat, which looks extremely delicious.

The man brought the noodles to Ji Tang.

"Tangtang, this is the first time I cook for others."

He said this deliberately, as if he wanted to get some praise.

But this is indeed true, there is no such thing as eating in the underworld.He knows how to make noodles, and he also learned from those undead who have lived.He didn't know why he had to learn this, maybe it was really for Ji Tang to eat.

"Thank you."

Ji Tang frowned, and smiled a little embarrassedly.At the same time, he was also a little surprised that the other party seemed cold, but he would cook a bowl of noodles for him.Like Ye Chuanyuan, a bit virtuous...

He picked up the chopsticks, rolled up a roll of noodles, and carefully blew the hot air to cool them down. Then he stretched out the tip of his red tongue and rolled the noodles into his mouth in small mouthfuls, puffing out his cheeks from time to time, exhaling the hot air.Like a little hamster.

The man stared at him closely.

Ji Tang felt a little embarrassed by the hot gaze of the other party, but on second thought, the other party might have never seen a living person eating, so it's okay to look at it.

After he finished his first mouthful of noodles, he seemed to see the man's chest puffed out inadvertently, and asked him with a little pride: "Is it delicious?"

Ji Tang: "..."

He smacked the taste in his mouth and frowned quietly.

To be honest, the noodles were overly salty and hard cooked.He even wanted to take back the compliment he had just given to the man.

But Ji Tang faced the other party's expectant eyes, relaxed his brows, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "Mmm, it's delicious."

After staying with He Zhiye for so long, he seemed to have learned each other's acting skills.

There was an imperceptible tenderness in the man's cold eyes.

"Hey, keep eating."

Ji Tang: "..."

He bit the bullet and finished the bowl of hard noodles.

However, although the noodles were a bit unpalatable, after eating a bowl of noodles, my stomach finally became a little warmer.

Seeing that Ji Tang had finished eating, the man said, "If you're still hungry, I can make it for you again."

After all, he will never have the chance to cook noodles for Ji Tang again.

Ji Tang quickly shook her head: "No need, I'm full..."

"Row."

The man counted the time and murmured: "There are still a little more than fourteen hours, half a day....If you don't sleep, you can leave when you wake up."

He will also disappear by then.

He has already appointed the next ghost king, and he is his most valued loyal minister.There is no bloody seizure of power, no vigorous parting, everything is so ordinary that it is unexpected.

Ji Tang almost forgot this very important matter, he was taken aback for a moment, pursed his lips, and said, "Are you really going to disappear? Is there really no solution?"

If the other party really disappeared, it meant that his mission had failed unprecedentedly.

He absolutely can't let these things happen, he is the director of the ghost shelter.

The man shook his head: "No."

"........."

Ji Tang lowered his head.

The man noticed Ji Tang's sullenness, he smiled lowly, held Ji Tang's face in his hands, and rubbed the corners of his reddened eyes.

He tried to divert Ji Tang's attention: "Don't be sad, I'll take you to see our sugar factory, okay?" He almost forgot about such an important matter.

Before Ji Tang could speak, the man took his hand and wanted to take him away.

Ji Tang was in a daze, and was led away by him all the time.

Finally, they came to the most remote and quiet place in the ghost world, where there were no infiltrating skeletons and no resentful souls.What caught Jitang's eyes was a sugar factory with a very modern style.

The machine for making syrup is running rumblingly, and the assembly line is constantly producing packaged sugar, and the air is full of sweet and greasy sugar.

Ji Tang: "..."

He wondered if he had returned to modern times.

When he was in a daze, several children jumped up and down in front of him. The children were fat and white, wearing red bellybands, and they were greeting him with smiles.

The man introduced: "These children are sugar workers here. Although they look small, they are actually hundreds of years old."

One of the children asked Ji Tang sweetly, "Brother, what's your name?"

Since they were born, they have lived in the sugar factory, and they don't know that Ji Tang is the ghost king's lover.

Ji Tang responded to his own name: "Ji Tang."

The child became excited: "Hey, brother, are you also candy? What a coincidence, I am also candy! I am lemon saccharine, the kid next to me is strawberry saccharine, and there is a durian saccharine behind. But... I have never heard of it. What's the taste of sugar like 'Ji Tang'?"

Ji Tang: "..."

Ji Tang: "???"

He didn't know how to respond to the other party for a moment, and the two could only remain silent.

But after a while, the child seemed to forget about this matter, bouncing back to the assembly line to make sugar.

Ji Tang flushed her cheeks.

He didn't think his name had any special meaning before, but now, he felt a little ashamed when he read it.

The man took his hand: "I'll take you to see the candy I prepared for you."

Ji Tang nodded in confusion.

Immediately, the man took him to the warehouse in the sugar factory.The warehouse is very big, bigger than those warehouses that Ji Tang has seen above.

The warehouse of the sugar factory is full of sugar, which is filled with special boxes, and the whole warehouse is crowded, which looks a bit shocking.

He couldn't finish eating these candies in eight lifetimes.

Ji Tang: "..."

Facing Ji Tang's surprised expression, the man said, "I've given a lot to my subordinates, but I still can't help but keep a little by my side."

Whenever he smelled these candies, he seemed to feel that the boy who had become a human had returned to him.

But now, the boy is really back.

Ji Tang: "Leave a little...??"

This is too capricious——

The man pushed Ji Tang: "Any candy you want is available here, take whatever you want."

-

They tossed in the sugar warehouse for more than two hours. The man wanted to keep Ji Tang for a few more hours until he disappeared, but Ji Tang was still thinking about how to prevent him from disappearing, and kept arguing to leave.In desperation, he could only take Ji Tang and leave first.

When they were about to leave the sugar factory, they were suddenly stopped by a crisp boy's voice.

Ji Tang turned her head and saw the chubby child just now.

The child's body is very small, but he holds a box of candies bigger than the two of him.

"Here, brother, this is freshly baked candy, here it is for you."

Ji Tang smiled: "Thank you. What kind of candy is it...?"

He thought it was toffee or strawberry flavored, but the other party answered an answer he couldn't think of.

"Seasonal sugar!"

Ji Tang: "???"

The child proudly said: "There are 15 quarters of sugar here, and [-] seasons of sugar have been newly produced in the factory. You can take it out and sell it...[-] yuan and nine quarters of sugar, two [-] yuan five!"

Ji Tang: "..."

The child put the box of "Ji Tang" at Ji Tang's feet: "Brother, quickly taste it, is it your taste? If it's not right, I can do it again!"

To be honest, Ji Tang is really curious about what "Ji Tang" tastes like.

He squatted down, carefully opened the box, and took out one of the candies.

The sugar is round and wrapped in white sugar paper, with the word "Ji Tang" really printed on it, and there is a decent production logo in the corner.

—— Produced by Guijie: Jitang-flavored candy.

He unwrapped one, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

——It’s his favorite flavor of toffee.

Warm, sweet taste.

Seeing that Ji Tang likes it, the child said with a smile: "Sure enough, I guessed your taste correctly. I am the sugar king here, and I can guess the taste very accurately. When I first saw you, I thought you were the sweetest milk. Sugary."

Ji Tang's face was completely red, and she tightly grabbed the corner of the man's clothes.

-

After they left the sugar factory, there were only ten hours left.

The man brought Ji Tang back to the bronze house at the beginning, hoping that Ji Tang would sleep there, and then return to the sleeping place that belonged to the living.

At this time, the news that the ghost king was about to change positions had already spread throughout the ghost world.But most of them don't know that the man is going to disappear, and they simply think that the man just wants to abdicate to rest, and they even set off vigorous celebration fireworks for the man.

The dazzling light from the fireworks illuminated the dark ghost world extremely brightly, and there was also a warm smell of fireworks in the cold air.

In order for Ji Tang to be able to see the fireworks, the man specially opened a large window on the bronze wall.

He settled Ji Tang down, and patted Ji Tang's soft cheek: "Sleep, you will go back when you wake up."

Thank you for being here.

Ji Tang suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Then, you disappeared, didn't you?"

"There will be someone like me who will love you for me."

After Ji Tang heard this, his ghosts inexplicably appeared in his mind.For a moment, he felt that there were still some things he didn't understand hidden in the man's words, and...he hadn't figured out the matter of the astronauts yet.But he didn't care about that much, he tightly held the corner of the man's clothes: "You are not allowed to go."

The man froze inexplicably, just within a few seconds of his being stunned.Ji Tang suddenly stood up from the bed, stood on tiptoes, pressed his shoulders, and said to him word by word:

"I became a person with life as you wished back then. I also saw the sun, stars and more beautiful things on it, and I also had a home I had dreamed of."

"But, I think there's something missing."

The man looked into Ji Tang's eyes: "What's missing?"

"you."

Ji Tang's voice contained some emotions that he had never felt before. He lowered his head and buried his head in the man's arms.He continued in a low voice: "I want to see the rising sun, the moon, the stars and the ocean with you, and see all the most beautiful things in this world."

He must bring the other party out of this dark ghost world.

The man's heart trembled inexplicably, he lifted Ji Tang's chin, and kissed her lips heavily.

The fireworks exploded suddenly at this moment, covering their embracing figure with the most dazzling light.
