Chapter 35
On the empty and quiet streets, the wind was blowing and the street trees on both sides of the road were rustling.
The sharp and angry roar seemed to sound from all directions, making it difficult to see where the speaker was hiding. However, SuZhou City’s Black and White Reaper are naturally not ordinary people. Lian Xi squinted his eyes slightly and quickly scanned the surroundings.
A dark residential building, a row of shops, an open-air parking lot…
No!
Where was that person?
Lian Xi raised his head and looked at the viaduct above his head.
The next second, he rang the bell.
Omm!
“Ouch!” A quick exclamation came from the viaduct above the heads of SuZhou City’s Black and White Reaper. Then, a short and thin figure in the dark, agile in shape, suddenly jumped into the small park next to the outdoor parking lot.
The trees were swaying. Lian Xi and Lie Chen did not relax their vigilance, still staring at the seemingly peaceful small park.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a silver light pierced through the bushes and shot towards Lian Xi.
This thing is so fast that Lian Xi didn’t have time to react at all. He subconsciously planned to ring the bell again when a black shadow stood in front of him. Lie Chen stretched out his right hand and then closed his index finger and middle finger together, as leisurely as if he were taking a stroll in the garden. The silver light was actually caught between his two fingers. After Lian Xi focused his eyes, he realized that it was actually a metal compass.
Wait, how could it be a metal compass?
Without giving the two a chance to react, a soft muttering sound came from the small park.
Lie Chen raised his eyebrows: “Oh?” The
The little compass turned into a black yin air and disappeared between his fingers. But it didn’t go far and didn’t run away. The silver compass reappeared and rose instantly in the air, to the height of two people. As Lian Xi and Lie Chen slowly looked up, the small compass turned into a big compass and smashed towards the ground fiercely.
The compass had two legs and one needle gauge piercing towards the ground. The other gauge was centered in the middle and quickly began to draw a circle on the ground. The pen gauge keeps turning, like a diaphragm forming a cone, so that the people inside the circle cannot get in or out.
At this time, the two ghosts of SuZhou City were completely blocked in the “enchantment” formed by the giant compass, unable to move.
Lian Xi stretched out his hand, trying to touch the pen gauge that was drawing quickly and forming a phantom circle around him. As soon as his hand stretched out, a murmur came from the small park: “If I were you, I wouldn’t touch it.”
The movement stopped and Lian Xi raised his head.
In the dimly lit small park, a small figure walked out from among the trees.
He walked to the bright street light step by step and only then did SuZhou City’s reapers see him clearly.
It was a small boy wearing a T-shirt and trousers. He looked very small and attended junior high school at most. His immature face was full of anger. He gritted his teeth, narrowed his mouth and walked in front of Lian Xi and Lie Chen.
“My magic weapon is mainly used to trap the enemy, not to attack at all. You didn’t expect that right!”
Lian Xi: “…”
President Lie didn’t bother to look at him.
Before the boy appeared, Lian Xi had already guessed something. He looked at the boy’s angry expression and asked tentatively: “WuXi’s ghost official?”
The boy glared at him: “You know?”
Lian Xi: “I guessed it.”
Boy: “Then since you guessed it, don’t you have something to say to me?”
Lian Xi: “Uh, sorry?”
Boy: “…”
There is no hint of guilt on either of your faces!
The boy looked up and down Lian Xi and Lie Chen. He sneered: “You crossed the line first, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“…” You said this with that kind face, there was really no attack power.
Boy: “You stay here all night. I’m not going to take back my magic weapon. Tonight, all your jobs in SuZhou City will belong to me… Uh…”
His voice stopped abruptly. The boy: “?!!!! !”
In the dark night, the Black Reaper almost melted into the darkness. He calmly flipped his hands and took out his golden album. The moment this golden album appeared, the giant compasses that trapped the two of them instantly stopped drawing circles. The compass trembled all over, as if seeing something terrifying. It shrank with a swish and flew back into the boy’s pocket without looking back.
What is this? The magic weapon of SuZhou city’s ghost official is so strong? This is unscientific!
The boy was shocked and took three steps back.
Boy: “What are you planning to do!”
Lie Chen glanced at him: “Catch ghosts.”
Boy: “???? But I’m not a ghost.”
“You prevented me from catching ghosts.”
The boy looked dumbfounded.
Although he couldn’t keep up with the brain circuit of President Lie at all, he saw that the ghost official of SuZhou City planned to ignore him and leave. He gritted his teeth and stopped him: “You are not allowed to go. SuZhou City’s ghost official, right? You haven’t explained to me why you went to WuXi to catch ghosts and took my job!”
Lie Chen stopped and looked down at him.
The boy felt a chill run down his back when he saw him. He swallowed his saliva and refused to give in. “I tell you that although I have heard about ghost officials killing each other, neither of the ghost officials in question were human. I don’t know if you are a human being but let me tell you, I am a human being; a breathing, living, human being. If you kill me, your crimes will be discovered by those in the living world so think about it carefully!”
As he said this, Lian Xi just remembered one thing. A chill went through his heart.
Please don’t let there be a camera, please don’t let there be a camera…
He glanced around.
Lian Xi: “…”
How come there really is a camera!
It’s over.
As if hearing what Lian Xi was saying in his heart, the little boy snorted coldly: “Don’t think about breaking porcelain. Do you think that since you’ve already been discovered by the living world, you should just go to the end and kill me? Don’t forget about the magic weapons of ghost officials. Since it has the effect of disordering magnetic fields, the surrounding cameras have long been broken. The cameras did not capture anything. However if you do something to me, you will definitely leave traces behind. I have parents and friends!”
Lian Xi said in surprise: “Did you say that magical artifacts can disorder magnetic fields? “
“Yes! “
“Causing the camera to stop working? “
“Yes. “
Why didn’t you say that earlier! Lian Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Don’t blame Lian Xi for not knowing this. First of all, his bronze bell is not a magic weapon for ghost officials and secondly, the golden album of President Lie may be able to shield the camera but President Lie never said it.
However, after this incident, Lian Xi was even more certain that his bronze bell was really not a magical artifact of reaper, nor was he reaper. Because the small bell does not disturb the magnetic field.
After figuring it out, Lian Xi was completely relieved. At this time, a low male voice sounded.
Lie Chen: “The last place reaper?”
Boy: “?”
How I came to be the last place, don’t you know?!
Boy: “Humph!”
Lie Chen: “Tsk, you don’t work hard.”
The boy widened his eyes: “Are you still a human!”
He really isn’t a human. Lian Xi laughed to one side.
Lie Chen: “Do you want to steal my jobs?”
Boy: “Of course…” Seeing the cold eyes of the black ghost, the little boy abruptly took his words back: “Of course not, I only came to inquire what’s going on! Yes, you actually crossed the border to grab jobs. Do you feel ashamed?”
Lie Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled instead.
They saw SuZhou City’s Black Reaper take out his reaper record. He turned to the performance rankings and dangled it in front of the little boy.
The little boy didn’t understand what he meant. He said, “Why are you showing me the performance rankings?”
Lie Chen: “The last one, shameful. Stealing jobs, humiliating.”
Boy: “…”
Seeing this little boy was about to burst into tears from frustration, Lian Xi walked up and said helplessly: “It’s all right.”
The boy looked at Lian Xi aggrievedly: “He is not a human!”
Lian Xi nodded: “He is indeed not human. “
Oh? Lie Chen glanced at him calmly, his eyes moved slightly.
It’s not actually a big deal to steal someone’s job but now that the owner has come looking, Lian Xi did feel a bit embarrassed. He is not like President Lie with his attitude of “under the sky, nothing is more important than me catching ghosts.” Lian Xi coughed twice and said: “The facts are as it is but I want to ask you something first.”
Boy: “Go on.”
“You said we stole your job, how did you know?”
“You still want to deny it? Oh, I spent a long time near ShuoFang Airport and even lied to my parents that I was going to a classmate’s house so I could travel a thousand miles to come to SuZhou City. How could I not have evidence? As long as you did it, you will definitely leave evidence! I have found the traces of you SuZhou city’s ghost officials there!”
Okay, so it seems they can’t deny it.
Lian Xi: “Then I will ask you one more question. Are you a ghost official from WuXi?”
“Yes.”
“Can you use the golden light of the reaper record?”
“Of course!”
“I’m talking about right now.”
“What?”
“I’m talking about right now,” Lian Xi looked at the dazed little boy,and said word by word: “At this moment, in SuZhou City, can you use your reaper record? Does it show you the golden light of guidance?”
The boy was stunned for some time. He directly took out his reaper record and painted on it.
“Hey, no!”
Lian Xi smiled: “That’s right, no. We discovered this when we went to Wuxi two days ago. The reaper record of SuZhou can only be used within the boundary of SuZhou, the reaper record of WuXiis the same. It’s useless if you cross the boundary. Do you know what it means?”
“What?”
Lian Xi took a deep breath and smiled slightly: “It means that the old man and the old yellow dog actually belonged to our SuZhou City.” The
The boy was completely dumbfounded: “…Huh?”
Lie Chen also looked at Lian Xi curiously.
He saw that the handsome young man looked calm and rational as he calmly began to talk logic with the little boy, explaining why on earth this old man ghost and old yellow dog ghost, belong to the achievements of SuZhou City.
…
At five o’clock in the morning, the morning sun rose.
The little boy scratched his head: “What you said seems to make sense.”
Lian Xi curled his lips.
The little boy pretended to be fierce again: “Then you are not allowed to go to the WuXi’s territory to grab jobs!”
Lian Xi nodded: “Don’t worry.” He will definitely go.
“Hn.”
Watching the little boy walking towards the subway station, Lian Xi thought; kids are still easy to cheat.
A calm male voice came from behind: “You lied to him.”
He paused slightly, and Lian Xi turned around: “Did I lie to him?”
The Black Reaper folded his arms: “The old man and the yellow dog died at the junction of the two cities, near the city of Suzhou but they belonged to Wuxi after all. After the person died, he returned home directly. The dog’s intelligence was not enough so he wandered for a long time where he died. When he wandered, he accidentally walked to the boundary of SuZhou City so it attracted our guiding light. But soon, he went back to WuXi.”
So in fact, this dog should still belong to WuXi.
Lian Xi was very calm: “Perhaps.”
Lie Chen looked at him meaningfully, and suddenly said: “I may not be a human.”
Lian Xi: “?”
Lie Chen: “But you are a real dog.” {Slang.}
Lian Xi: “!!!”
Where did you learn this! Are you still the Black Reaper of SuZhou City!
Looking at the young man’s disbelieving look, there seemed to be something gently scratching in his heart. Lie Chen raised his mouth in a happy mood: “Su Jiao taught me.”
It is indeed Su Jiao who can only teach bad things and never anything good!
Suddenly, Lian Xi was stunned: “You know he is called Su Jiao?”
The Black Reaper turned and left, not deigning to answer this question.
“Catch ghosts.”
“Oh.”
