Chapter 84 - Ghost Eyes
“Ding Ling Ling.” It was the sound made by the Teru Teru Bozu outside the door as it was being blown by the breeze.
Ma Yangyu, who was shrunken under the quilt, immediately trembled when he heard this sound, and his body immediately stiffened.
Li Qiaoyi gritted his teeth and hugged Ma Yangyu tightly in his arms, his head was sweating, and his heartbeat accelerated.
In the darkness, he opened his eyes, forcing himself to not close his eyes, beads of perspiration sliding directly down his forehead.
Li Qiaoyi leaned his head on Ma Yangyu and hugged him tightly, Ma Yangyu shrank into his arms like a ball of threads, and Li Qiaoyi was exactly like a guardian.
Lu YiAng and his party pasted all kinds of spells across the entire room, all of them looking defensive about what was to come. Even though they seemed like killers at first, at this moment, they were unexpectedly calm.
The Teru Teru Bozu is still swaying non-stop, even if it is separated by a door, everyone in the room could hear the ringing sound clearly.
It’s like a lullaby, with no rhythm, but it has an ethereal feeling. It is very cold, like playing a scary nursery rhyme.
Lu YiAng’s ears moved and his expression was serious. His five senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people, and he could hear many details that others could not hear.
Darkness is scary not because of how terrifying it is, but because of people’s fear of the unknown.
“Tick. Tok.” It was the sound of dripping water that sounded every night, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a heavy fishy smell.
Lu YiAng frowned and looked at the people next to him.
The ghost was already here.
“Hahahahahahaha.”
A woman’s laughter echoed through the air for no reason. The voice was trembling and very secretive. It rushed directly into the eardrum of the person from all sides of the wall, amplified bit by bit, and then turned into a man’s mad laughter. The laughter was repeated over and over again, and the laughter was frantic and scratching.
Ma Yangyu looked terribly in pain, curled up in Li Qiaoyi’s arms and began to sob. The cry was very soft, but it hit Li Qiaoyi hard and accurately.
Li Qiaoyi had bloodshot eyes. He can clearly feel his heartbeat accelerating, and he can also hear the sound of tensed Ma Yangyu’s heart beating.
The two of them hugged each other like conjoined twins.
Li Qiaoyi made up his mind and pulled off Li Qiaoyi’s quilt. The latter was startled, and his legs flinched back.
But when Ma Yangyu saw that it was indeed Li Qiaoyi, he stopped, and his two rabbit looking eyes looked at Li Qiayoyi pitifully.
Li Qiaoyi’s heart throbbed, he put the quilt over his head, and got under, grabbing the back of the other’s head with both hands, forcing Ma Yangyu’s forehead to touch his forehead.
It was only two centimetres between the faces of the two of them and they could feel each other breathing while their warm breaths became entangled with each other.
Li Qiaoyi clasped his fingers behind Ma Yangyu’s head, and Ma Yangyu choked a few times. Both hands directly hug the other’s waist, completely trusting the other’s presence.
Li Qiaoyi pulled out a smile, “Don’t be afraid.”
He will definitely not let that ghost hurt you!
The b.l.o.o.d.y smell spreading in the air is getting heavier and heavier, even a bit like the sour smell of a corpse that has rotted for several days.
A man with yellow hair standing at the door was on alert, ready to take out his magic weapon for removing ghosts. Suddenly his pupils shrank suddenly, and a transparent rope fell from the ceiling. Without any preparation at all, the rope choked and strangled his neck.
The man’s body was strangled so that the soles of his feet were dragging away on the ground. He was terrified, his eyes widened, and he began to struggle frantically, and said vaguely, “Help me!”
The laughter from the wall became even louder and even brighter as if it was mocking them for being too arrogant.
The boy standing next to him immediately cut off the transparent rope holding Huang Mao with a knife. Huang Mao lost support, his legs softened, fell on his knees, and he kept coughing.
The boy hurriedly helped him up.
It was also at this moment that the people in this line realized that they could not compare this incident with their usual missions to catch other little ghosts at all. After all, their level of cultivation was just barely sufficient. If they had known about the danger of this mission earlier, they wouldn’t have come at all.
There is no regret medicine in the world, and this disaster of grieving ghosts for debt collection will not just end there.
Lu YiAng swore secretly because he was too at a loss.
He found that the barriers he had arranged in the room were actually useless to this ghost. Those spells were already his best skills, and in the end, they had no effect on the female ghost. On the contrary, it was peanuts to the ghost.
Indeed, after an ordinary ghost hurt someone, it will be tortured to a fateful ending, experiencing the pain of bones being drilled, and finally turning into a puddle of blood.
Therefore, in this situation, it will be much easier for a ghost eliminator to catch ghosts, as it was just a matter of moving your fingers.
The pink-haired girl realized that her body began to tremble. Suddenly, she spasmed, and it seemed that some viscous liquid had fallen on top of her head. It was chilly, and she subconsciously touched it with her hand.
With the brightness of the moonlight, she could clearly see the colour of the liquid.
It was blood.
She widened her eyes, suddenly raised her head, and looked up.
A hideous grimace with a crooked smile, grinning openly the corners of his mouth, with a big mouth with blood and fangs. The face is full of folds and bloodstains, and what is even more frightening is that the scar on this face is still covered with a dense layer of insect eggs, which was uneven and definitely unfriendly to those with trypophobia.
The girl opened her mouth wide, her eyes staring out of horror, the uvula in her mouth trembled and she let out a scream.
“Ahhhhh!!”
Hearing the screams and exclamations around him, Ma Yangyu’s body began to shake more severely, and even his breathing became a little more anxious.
The tip of Li Qiaoyi’s nose was touching the tip of Ma Yangyu’s nose, and he felt distressed looking at Ma Yangyu like this.
He then put down his hands which were holding Ma Yangyu’s neck, grabbed Ma Yangyut’s ten fingers with his backhand, and clasped them in his palms.
Li Qiaoyi soon discovered that something was wrong. He found that he could clearly see through the quilt.
He could see a pair of blood-stained, bare-footed legs slowly approaching the two of them.
His heart tightened suddenly.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of what the man said during the day.
Li Qiaoyi took a deep breath and looked at the person in his arms. Somehow he had the courage to lift the quilt and expose himself completely, Ma Yangyu hurriedly buried his head in Li Qiaoyi’s arms in fright.
The female ghost’s footsteps stopped in place.
The killers behind her rushed out through the door due to fear. Even Lu YiAng only hesitated for a moment before leaving Ma Yangyu behind.
Li Qiaoyi stared at her boldly, and the ghost stood motionless. Finally, the ghost’s hideous face slowly returned to normal, and the b.l.o.o.d.y red clothes on her body returned to the original white, just like the way Li Qiaoyi first met her.
Just a little girl.

Xiao Chen stared at the indescribable pieces of cloth on the bed and pursed his lips.
Jing Hezhi stood behind him and looked at him with a smile as if waiting for him to choose.
Open-seat pants, lace, see-through, tight-fitting, open-collar, corded…
Xiao Chen took a breath, thinking of the man’s phrase “Go back and wait” during the day, and he inevitably felt that he was finding his own death.
He turned around, grinning at the man, biting his teeth up and down, like a puppy exposing himself to the tiger. Not only was he not scary, but was also very cute.
Jing Hezhi was amused, and he leaned forward, hugging Xiao Chen’s slender waist, taking advantage of his height, and directly propped his head on top of the child’s head, using his chin to play with the child’s hair, messing it up.
As if acting like a baby,
Xiao Chen turned around in the man’s arms and raised his head. The man’s grey eyes were looking straight at him, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel his heartbeat increase again, and his face started to burn slowly. After the two stared at each other for half a minute, Xiao Chen finally sighed.
Mistake of beauty, it was indeed a mistake of beauty.
This is going overboard!
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was determined, “This time only, not anymore.”
Jing Hezhi smiled but did not speak.
In this aspect, once the strange switch in any man is turned on, it will be out of control, either zero times and countless times.
Furthermore, the man in front of him was a wolf with a big tail that had been holding back for thousands of years, and he watched Xiao Chen jump in front of his eyes for several years before finally waiting for him to reach adulthood.
He has never been satisfied in this aspect, and wouldn’t hate to have more and more.
Sigh, this can only be blamed on Xiao Chen for being too young.
Jing Hezhi let go of the child and stood on the side with a smile, letting him continue to choose.
Xiao Chen hesitated again and finally reluctantly picked up the tights on the bed which had the most fabric…
The curvature of the man’s mouth rose even more obviously.
Sure enough, he was still too naive.

Lu Yiming walked back to the room in a muddle-headed manner, his steps still a little erratic, his face looked upset as if he had been robbed of his wife.
The man who had been in the room obediently waiting for Lu Yiming to come back, reading the magazines and children’s story books Lu Yiming had prepared for him every day during the day, raised his head as soon as the door rang.
From the moment Lu Yiming entered the door, the man noticed that the other party’s emotions were very unstable. He immediately leaned forward, tilted his head, and followed Lu Yiming all the way from undressing and taking off his shoes to lying on the bed.
“In a bad mood.” The man opened his mouth and asked directly.
Lu Yiming lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and asked sincerely, “Can people and ghosts live in harmony?”
The man looked at him a little strangely as if he didn’t understand why the other party suddenly felt emotional, but he still replied, “As a ghost eliminator, you still chose to hide me here, so shouldn’t you already know the answer to your question?”
Lu Yiming turned to look at him.
The man lay down, facing Lu Yiming, looking at him.
Lu Yiming was silent.
Yes, from the day he decided to hide the man here, it was destined that he could not become a qualified ghost eliminator.
Furthermore, he didn’t know or offend any grieving ghosts from the beginning.
Finally, Lu Yiming sighed and said, “I met the ghost king today.”
The man was startled and his pupils shrank suddenly.
“He is the same as described in the book, brutal, and possesses absolute strength.” Lu Yiming’s tone was very plain, so plain that people would doubt the authenticity of what he said.
He was just so vulnerable in front of him.
“Similarly, just like the picture in the alb.u.m, he is so in love with a man as if it was carved in his bones.”
His love is so great that no one else is allowed to look at that man.
After the conversation, Lu Yiming and the man looked at each other.
At this moment, the man’s eyes only reflected Lu Yiming’s face, listening to his speech seriously and couldn’t contain the joy his eyes
Lu Yiming smiled unconcealed.
He finally understood why the ghost king did not allow others to look at that person.
Because whether it is a human or a ghost, they have seven emotions and six desires, and there will be people they love deeply.
Lu Yiming leaned forward, as if asking the other party’s opinion, but also appearing like he was just informing the other party, “I want to kiss you.”
The man froze for a moment, not registering what he just heard and it seemed that he didn’t understand the other party’s meaning.
In the next second, his thin lips were directly pressed against his lips.
Love never stops. —- <>
