After adopting paranoid gods

Ji Tang blinked her eyes to confirm that she had read the brand correctly.

——He was indeed not mistaken, the other party wrote him as Xia Wenli's lover.

Presumably most people in the airport have seen this sign.He was stunned for a while, his cheeks flushed instantly, and he was at a loss.But even so, he still bite the bullet and walked towards the sign.

Before he got there, a foreign woman holding a sign ran over and called out Ji Tang's name in blunt Chinese: "You are Mr. Ji Tang, right? I was Mr. Xia's assistant before he was alive... that is, I called you before. The person on the phone."

Ji Tang nodded her head: "Yes, I am Ji Tang."

The blond woman agreed with him on the previously agreed signal, and after confirming that it was correct, she invited Ji Tang to the car.

She seemed to be very curious about Ji Tang, and couldn't help but glance at Ji Tang's side. She glanced at Ji Tang and said with a casual smile: "I was afraid that someone would pretend to be Mr. Xia's relatives or friends, but when I saw you Afterwards, I am sure that you are the 'Ji Tang' whom Mr. Xia often mentioned during his lifetime."

Ji Tang was stunned: "Why?"

Blonde woman: "He said that your skin is very fair, your eyelashes are very long, the corners of your eyes and cheeks are always reddish habitually, and your height is about 1.7 meters five. But this does not prove that I can be sure that you are Ji Tang, he said But—you will have a faint milky fragrance on your body, and there is a very small mole on your neck."

Except for her and Xia Wenli, no one knew about this.

Ji Tang: "..."

What the other party said was indeed correct.

There is also a small mole the size of a pen tip on his neck, which he rarely notices, unless someone who often kisses there will remember it.He didn't remember that before he became a living person, he had done too many intimate things with the ghost king in the ghost world.

He wished he hadn't even done that and that...

Ji Tang nodded.

The blond woman smiled: "Look, what I said is right. It can be seen that he really likes you..."

Ji Tang: "..."

He really wanted to say that when Xia Wenli liked him, he was not born yet.

But the other party didn't notice the details of this age, and he didn't plan to say it.

Ji Tang: "Well, what's your name?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." The other party said: "I am Mr. Xia's assistant before his death. My English name is Mary. You can call me Assistant Mary or Mary."

Ji Tang raised the corners of her lips: "Mary."

The boy's voice was very soft and obedient, and Mary was in a good mood when she heard it. She couldn't help rubbing Ji Tang's hair: "You are just as he said, very cute."

Ji Tang: "..." He wondered what else Xia Wenli had said about him.

-

The Aerospace Research Institute where Xia Wenli worked during his lifetime was funded by Huaguo, but the address was moved to the United States.The year of relocation happened to be the year of his death, and all his things are now in the United States.

The Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is very large, comparable to the headquarters of real estate groups in Huaguoli. It is a high-rise building filled with glass, and you can't see the top at a glance.Mary's car drove into the parking lot, and Ji Tang followed her out of the car.

Most of the people who walked past Ji Tang were employees here, all of them were researchers in white coats, and they were all important figures in the scientific world.

Looking at this place, Ji Tang couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

So this ghost worked in this kind of place before his death?

...that's amazing.

He couldn't help sighing.

At the same time, he became more and more curious about the secret of this ghost.Why did Xia Wenli know his name?Xia Wenli... Did he really retain a part of the ghost king's memory?

If this is true, it means that all the ghosts he owns also have part of the ghost king's memory.I know that the person I like the most is Ji Tang, and the person I want to protect is also Ji Tang.

That's why they rushed to Ji Tang's side desperately.

While Ji Tang was in a daze, Mary had already brought him to the floor where Xia Wenli's scientific research room was located before his death.

As she walked, she chatted with Ji Tang about Xia Wenli.

"Ji Tang, do you know why I didn't take you to Mr. Xia's house?"

"..." Ji Tang was puzzled.

Mary sighed softly: "He doesn't have a home. He usually lives here and sleeps on a folding bed in the research room. During the holidays, everyone in the building left, and he stayed alone in the building. There. He has no parents, siblings, and the only person he seems to know is you. He says he's going to be great and achieve everything you've ever wanted..."

Achieve everything you ever wanted?

Ji Tang was stunned.

All he could remember at the moment was that he wanted to live.

Mary raised her head and said with a smile, "You didn't like him before, right? He's the only one in unrequited love, otherwise he wouldn't be alone..."

"..."

In fact, Ji Tang was not born at that time.

Ji Tang faltered a few times, and muttered: "I didn't like it before, but now I like it."

"If he didn't commit suicide, he would be very happy to hear what you said." Mary said, and the two of them came to the door of Xia Wenli's research room before he died.Xia Wenli has been dead for many years, but his research room has been left untouched and kept tightly sealed.

Ji Tang gasped, a little nervous.

This ghost... what exactly did the place where he lived in before his death look like.

Mary leaned down and entered the combination for the secret lock.With a click, the door swung open.

——The faint smell of disinfectant water hits the face.The inside was cleaned very clean, just like the scientific research laboratories outside, the ground seemed to be free of bacteria, and it was as bright as a mirror.

The furnishings in the room are also very clean, a bookcase, a desk and chairs.On the desk were some astronomical instruments and books that Ji Tang couldn't understand, and there was a black folding bed in the corner.

It seemed that this was all Xia Wenli had.

"This is where he has always lived." Mary came to the window and looked at a small potted plant by the window: "This small potted plant was originally a seed given to him by a doctor in the Netherlands. This kind of flower only blooms once every few years. He has been reluctant to plant. Now the flowers are blooming, but he is gone."

The red rose potted plant by the window is as warm as the sun.

Ji Tang stood in front of the bookcase, accidentally seeing his photo.That photo was just a passport photo, embedded in an award certificate.

The boy in the photo is very handsome, with deep features and beautiful star blue eyes.Ji Tang took a closer look and felt that he was somewhat similar to the ghost king, but he was also right, he was the soul fragment of the ghost king.

I just don't know if Ji Tang can still find him now.Ji Tang has already missed the task time. According to the regulations of the APP, once he misses it, he will not be able to meet him.

It was the first time for Ji Tang to look for a ghost under such circumstances, and the steepness of the task was full of unknowns for Ji Tang.

At this time, it was afternoon, and the sun outside the window was very hot, pouring into the window like a waterfall.

Mary suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "I asked you to come here not only to deal with Mr. Xia's funeral, but also because today is a special day. He has been waiting for this day before his death, hoping to give you a surprise.

It's a pity that he couldn't wait and passed away.I have no choice but to give you that surprise on this day on his behalf. "

Ji Tang frowned and became even more puzzled.

Mary smiled mysteriously: "That gift can only be delivered to you on this day. Not on other days, that's why I called you to the United States in such a hurry."

Ji Tang: "..."

Ji Tang: "What gift?"

"You will know when the time comes. It is guaranteed to be the most romantic gift in the world. Not many people in the world have it—" Mary shrugged, and she glanced at the time: "It is already noon, I invite you to eat our The staff meals here are delicious."

Ji Tang was a little hungry, so he simply agreed: "Thank you."

After Mary went out for a while, she came in with two lunch boxes.She moved a folding dining table from the study room next door, spread it out in the middle of the room, and opened the lunch box.

The lunch box is full of American foods that Ji Tang is very familiar with, such as fried chicken, French fries, Coke...

But in addition to these foods, there is also a handful of toffee, which seems a bit abrupt in these carbohydrate foods.

Mary noticed Ji Tang's suspicious gaze, and explained: "Actually, the toffee in the lunch box is because of Xia Wenli's dining habits. He obviously only likes to drink bitter coffee, but he likes to drink strong coffee, and he doesn't like sweets, including cakes. Yes. But he loves toffee very much, and every time he goes to work, he will have a few toffee.

Over time, there will always be a few toffee in the set meal in the institute.After his death, this habit has been retained. "

Ji Tang: "..."

He seems to know why Mingxia Wenli likes toffee.

Ji Tang's ears were a little red, he lowered his head, and finished his lunch carefully.

Mary glanced at her watch and said, "You can look around here, and I'll take you to see the gift he gave you when it's around ten o'clock in the evening."

"En." Ji Tang nodded obediently.

In fact, he was very anxious, curious what kind of gift Xia Wenli left him, what is the gift that "few people in the world can have"?

Mary: "I'm going to work first, I still have an experiment to do. If you are sleepy, you can sleep on the folding bed." After she finished speaking, she stood up, packed the two lunch boxes, and turned to leave.

For a while, only Ji Tang was left in the research room.

The sunlight pouring in from the window became brighter and brighter, and the air no longer smelled of disinfectant water, but filled with a warm rose fragrance.The flower seeds that Xia Wenli cherished very much during his lifetime are now in full bloom, but he lost the chance to take another look.

Ji Tang used a plastic cup to catch some water in the washbasin, and then poured it on the rose.

He stared at the rose, frowned slightly, and murmured: "Mr. Xia, are you... are you still in this world?"

If it was really because he didn't start the task in time that this ghost disappeared, he might feel sorry for a long time.But with the clues he has now, he doesn't know where to find the other party.

I can only see if I can find any clues in the gift Xia Wenli gave me tonight.

Ji Tang was a little sleepy, he wanted to sit on the sofa and take a nap.But when he caught a glimpse of the backpack on the sofa, he froze slightly.He accidentally brought his backpack into the lab

, all his ghosts are in the backpack, presumably the ghosts also know the existence of this new ghost.

After he agreed with the ghosts to find the ghost king, he stopped taking in new ghosts...

Ji Tang: "..."

But he really didn't expect that there was another ghost that he accidentally lost, and that ghost was carrying a clue that was very important to him.

He hoped that these ghosts would not come out to question him at this time.In order not to let this happen, he quickly sat on the sofa and pretended to be drowsy.

As for why he didn't sleep on the folding bed that Mary mentioned, because he heard that the folding bed was Xia Wenli's bed when he was alive.If he slept in the past, rounding it up, it was equivalent to sharing the same pillow.

Thinking of this, Ji Tang's cheeks flushed.He pulled the small blanket out of his backpack, covered himself, and then curled up on the sofa.He wanted to pretend to be asleep, but he didn't expect that when he closed his eyes, he would fall into a drowsy sleep.

-

Ji Tang didn't have a dream this time, but he was haunted by ghosts.He has been with so many ghosts for so long, and even shared the same bed with each other, but this is the first time he was crushed by ghosts.

He could clearly perceive the outside world, but he couldn't wake up no matter what, and he couldn't see the ghost in front of him clearly.

The ghost seemed to be beside his pillow, hugging him tightly.It seems to be still talking, its voice is hoarse and magnetic, it keeps calling Ji Tang's name, and one side of its hands is very restless.Just when its hand was about to pull Ji Tang's pants down, the door was suddenly opened, and Mary's familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Ji Tang, it's time to wake up!"

Ji Tang opened his eyes instantly——

The ghost who was holding him and trying to whimper also disappeared.

Ji Tang came back to his senses and sat up suddenly, panting heavily.

He glanced at the backpack subconsciously, countless strands of black air from different ghosts tried to pour out of the backpack.If Mary came a little later, the ghosts in the backpack might show up in an instant and catch the ghost that made Ji Tanggui crush the bed.

But the other party just happened to disappear.

Seeing that Ji Tang was sweating profusely, Mary said, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Ji Tang shook her head: "It's okay, I'm having a nightmare."

"..." Mary walked over, patted Ji Tang on the back to comfort her, and said with a smile, "You slept for a long time."

Ji Tang: "What time is it?"

Mary: "It's already past one o'clock in the morning, and you have slept for ten hours."

Ji Tang: "..."

Mary glanced at the clear night sky outside the window: "It's time to go, I'll take you to see the gift Mr. Xia prepared for you before his death."

It was only then that Ji Tang remembered that he still had this matter to do, he quickly sat up, put on his coat, and tidied his messy hair: "Let's go."

-

Ji Tang thought that Mary would take him to see a giant gift box, but he didn't expect that the other party would take him in an off-road vehicle and drive to the deserted suburbs outside the institute.

The suburbs of Huaguo and the suburbs of the United States are not the same concept at all. The latter is a wilderness with no people within a hundred miles. It is difficult for even people to survive here.

Ji Tang: "..."

The gift of this ghost is in such a strange place?

The off-road vehicle drove through the mountains and came to a more desolate sandy plain.Mary parked the car and signaled Ji Tang to get off.

Ji Tang got off the car obediently, and looked around on the sand curiously, hoping to see a giant gift box.

But apart from the emptiness, he could only see the emptiness, which was even cleaner than the floor in Xia Wenli's research room.

He wondered if Xia Wenli had given him a plain full of sand.

Ji Tang was a little confused, he turned his head to look at Mary, and asked doubtfully, "What did Mr. Xia give me?"

Mary moved a big box from the trunk, which was as tall as Ji Tang alone.

Ji Tang thought that this was the gift Mary was talking about, so she looked at the box nervously.

Mary noticed his gaze: "Mr. Xia's gift is certainly not this, it can't be so small."

Ji Tang: "???"

Small? ?There's enough room for him in this box.

Ji Tang: "What kind of gift is that..."

"Shh." Mary raised her finger to her lips mysteriously, and she pointed to the sky: "Look at the sky."

Ji Tang followed the trend and raised her head, looking at the night sky——

The night sky is clear tonight, and there are bright stars in sight.Densely woven into a large galaxy, dazzling and brilliant, like a river full of light spots, across the dark night sky.

Ji Tang didn't understand.

Mary smiled and said, "He gave you a star."

Ji Tang: "..."

He froze.

Mary took out a red certificate from behind and spread it out in front of Ji Tang.

- The certificate is issued by the space agency MASA.

The name of the star...is called, Sugar Star.

Ji Tang: "?????"

Ok? ? ?

Although the name sounds cute, it's a little strange for Ji Tang.Every person and every star has a candy word.

Mary looked at Ji Tang's surprised look, and chuckled: "This star was discovered by Xia Wenli, that's why MASA allowed him to obtain the international naming right of this star. The name he named is recognized by the whole world. Just like 'Neptune' and 'Pluto'..."

This is a gift that Xia Wenli has prepared for Ji Tang for a long time.

It is not easy to find a star. In addition to observing it with an astronomical telescope every day, it is also necessary to calculate its orbit and light-year distance to prove its existence.But despite his busy schedule, Xia Wenli still used piles of draft paper to prove the star, and obtained the international naming right of the star.

Everyone thought he would give the star a cool name, but he didn't expect him to call the star "Sugar Star".The sound of this name can make people smell a ray of sweet sugar.

Later, everyone found out that he was going to give this star to his lover.

While setting up the astronomical telescope, Mary casually mentioned: "There are many undiscovered stars in the sky. Some stars can easily prove their existence and obtain the right to name them. But Mr. Xia still has to work hard to prove some of them. A star whose trajectory is difficult to calculate."

The sugar star is very far away from the earth, and it took ten years to prove its orbit.

Ji Tang: "Why?"

Mary: "He said, that star is very special. Do you know what is special? Every winter, a meteor shower will land with this star as the radiant point. At that time, the sky will be full of stars, and the night sky will be as bright as day, The temperature in the air seems to carry the heat of this star.

He said that you used to be afraid of the dark and the cold.So I have no choice but to send you a star, so that you can always feel the light and warmth. "

Ji Tang was stunned, standing under the stars for a long time but couldn't recover.

His head hurt a little, and finally it became more and more painful. It seemed that some long-forgotten memory wanted to break through that layer of confinement, and then rushed out.

In fact, he still can't remember that he used to be the extradition of the undead in the ghost world, let alone that he liked the ghost king, and he doesn't know how they got along before.Everything about the ghost king is what others have said.His current feelings towards the ghost king are also ignorant.

But now, Ji Tang resisted the headache and seemed to be able to recall a little bit of their previous memories.

This is completely different from the past that he has heard from other people, and he can fully understand the feeling at that time.

Although currently he can only think of a small fragment.

There is no day and night in the ghost world, and the sky is always lifeless black.The temperature is also several degrees below zero, and there will never be any warmth here, and the ghosts there will not think of any warmth.

But Ji Tang, who was still a ghost at that time, was afraid of the cold and the dark.

One day when he was sleeping, Ji Tang curled up in the bed as usual, no matter how hard he tried to cover the quilt, he couldn't cover the quilt as warmly as a living person.Until Yin Lang came over and helped him light the stove in the house.

The boy got his head out of the bed and said in a small voice, "Thank you sir."

"You're welcome." The man raised his eyebrows, and while throwing the match in his hand into the stove, he took off his robe, revealing his strong chest in only a layer of unlined clothing.He lay on the boy's bed as usual, and put his arms around his shoulders: "I have nothing to do tonight, so I'll go to bed early with you."

"It's so early, I can't sleep..." Ji Tang blinked and tugged at the corner of the man's clothes: "Can I chat with you?"

"of course can."

Ji Tang raised the corners of her lips, showing dimples on her fair face, looking a little thin: "I extradited a hundred souls today, is it great?"

The man boasted like coaxing a kitten: "Well, it's amazing."

Faced with the man's compliment, Ji Tang's eyes flickered a few times.He chuckled and continued: "Among the ghosts I extradited, there is also a ghost of an 'astronomer', it should be called by this name...he told me a little story about the world of living people."

"He said that in the living world, there is a thing called a star. It has a very high temperature, it will generate heat, and it will reflect the entire night sky shining brightly. It seems that there is another thing called a meteor shower, It is the most dazzling thing in the world, more beautiful than the sun, and when you meet it, all your wishes will come true.”

In Ji Tang's eyes, the night sky is always lifeless and black, and it is hard to imagine what can make the night sky shine brightly.If there is such a thing, he may no longer have to be afraid of the dark and the cold.If you encounter a shooting star, it will be even more wonderful.

Ji Tang turned over and faced the man.His delicate and fair face was covered with a layer of warm yellow fire light, and his curly eyelashes were golden yellow as if they were filled with syrup.

"Mr. Yin Lang, after I help you realize your last wish and help you walk across the bridge of Naihe. You must become a human being, and then go to see the stars, preferably the meteor shower... I think it is the most beautiful in the world." Things. Go to the human world and have a look, you must go and see it.”

The person who extradites a dead soul has to fulfill all the last wishes of a dead soul before he can take it across the bridge of Naihe and go to reincarnation.

And Yin Lang's last wish was to be loved.

In the eyes of other revenants, this may give up the ghost and give up its right to reincarnate.

But Ji Tang spent half his life tenderly in order to realize this wish.

After listening to Ji Tang's words, the man was silent for a moment, but the next moment, he kissed Ji Tang tightly.

The young man was at a loss, his cheeks were flushed by the kiss, he pushed the man away in a daze, and muttered: "Don't mess with your loved ones, go to sleep."

Yin Lang was amused by Ji Tang, he kissed Ji Tang's cheek: "You are very sweet, like toffee."

-

Ji Tang regained consciousness from the memory, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gradually focused.The next moment, he heard Mary's exclamation: "Oh my God! The meteor shower of Sugar Star has appeared!"

——Countless meteors originating from sugar stars, with dazzling light tails, pierced the dark night sky one after another, like a waterfall of starlight, reflecting the entire night sky brighter than the day.

Ji Tang was covered by the starlight from the meteor swarm, and his figure was shimmering. It seemed that he was the only one in the whole plain, and the stars seemed to be scattered for him.

——Wait for me to be human again.

I let the stars in the whole world shine for you.

Let you no longer fear the cold and darkness.
