Chapter 1: Chi You He ...... is deeply in love with me.
Jiang Luo When he opened his eyes, a black crowd was crying and mourning in front of him.
All of them were dressed in black, the back of their heads facing Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo stuttered and turned his head toward the four directions in the weird atmosphere, just as he moved, the crowd of weeping mourners in front of him stopped violently, and abruptly turned back to look at Jiang Luo, his black eyes protruding out like the eyes of a fish, full of dissatisfaction: "Why aren't you weeping? "
Jiang Luo found the dream quite interesting, he smiled, squeezed down a tear and crushed it with his finger to show them, "I'm crying."
It should be drizzling outside, the wind and rain obscuring the white sun, the dampness pouring in through the windows, the white mist faint.
Someone beside me said, "Jiang Luo, you're happy that Chi You brother is dead, aren't you?"
Jiang Luo looked toward the voice, and before he could see who the person was, he was caught by the black hair that slid down the side of his shoulder.
Shoulder-length dark shiny hair, as smooth as satin. Jiang Luo stretched out his hand and ruffled the hair, and then saw a small mole as red as blood on the back of his left hand.
The vicious voice beside his ear continued, "Jiang Luo, are you out of things to say?"
Jiang Luo looked up and finally got a good look at the speaker.
The one who spoke was a handsome young man, wearing a famous brand, with five-digit sneakers, looking at Jiang Luo with fire in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat Jiang Luo alive. He snorted coldly and said: "I know you must have killed Chi You. When Chi You returns to his soul on the seventh day of his life, I'll see how you can still argue."
The name Chi You sounds familiar to Jiang Luo.
A few days ago, he just learned about a novel that was taken off the shelves because it was too gory, and the name of the novel was Evil Ghosts. Curious about how gory the novel could be, Jiang Luo went to great lengths to find the original text, in which the protagonist is called Chi You.
Evil Ghosts tells the story of the protagonist, Chi You, who is killed by cannon fodder and then cultivates revenge with the help of the protagonist's attacker, Feng Li.
The cannon fodder that killed Chi You coincidentally shares the same name as Jiang Luo. After Chi You's death, he will be transformed into an evil spirit, torturing the cannon fodder with all sorts of cruelty, and on the day of his death, the cannon fodder will even be split into five pieces, with not a single inch of flesh on his body.
Jiang Luo's eyebrows jumped twice, suddenly turned to look, and his shadow was blurredly reflected on the green and white porcelain aside.
Her hair was long and shoulder-length, her eyebrows were arrogant, and her features declined in the declining sun, which was both beautiful and heroic at the same time. Such a face is like the vermilion and red stone green in an ink painting, thick and colorful, with the beauty of aggression like a sharp knife hidden in every place.
The face is almost identical to Jiang Luo's own, except that Jiang Luo's own appearance is more gentle and languid, rather than the rose-peony splendor of today.
He didn't have hair this long, he didn't have the demonic red mole on the back of his left hand, and he didn't kill a man named Chi You.
Jiang Luo pinched himself heavily, it hurt.
It took him a moment to recognize the reality that he wasn't dreaming, he was traveling.
Threaded into the novel that was taken off the shelves because of the gore and horror.
Jiang Luo's heart was cold.
"What are you doing?" This man next to him was still disgruntled, "Jiang Luo, don't stall me. If it really wasn't you who killed Chi You, then do you dare to go and offer Chi You incense?"
Here is a funeral hall, the space is wide, both sides of the coffin piled up with white chrysanthemums and white lilies, these vibrant flowers as if they are with rain and dew will decorate the funeral site as romantic and beautiful as a wedding. Near the coffin, the family members of the dead were still crying, holding handkerchiefs and wiping their tears, but the sadness on their faces was so false that it could be broken at the first poke.
The dirge drifted up to the ceiling and weighed down like a mountain.
Jian Qi Xiao provoked, "Go ahead, Jiang Luo."
Jiang Luo remembered the man's name, Jian Qi Xiao was none other than his classmate Lu Youyi, he tried to ask, "Lu Youyi, why do you think I killed Chi You?"
Lu Youyi whispered, "If others don't know, I still don't know? Jiang Luo, you had a conflict with Brother Chi You only a few days ago, and you were the only one present when Brother Chi You died. Chi You was in good health, but he died suddenly for no reason, do you think it's fucking normal? Don't play games with me just because you're good looking, I don't eat your shit."
Chi You was gentle and kind, and most of the people who came to the funeral were people who had good feelings for Chi You. Although Lu Youyi speaks harshly, he lowers his voice for Jiang Luo's benefit, showing that he is a good person who is easy to be soft-hearted.
A soft heart means a good cheat.
Jiang Luo said sincerely, "It really wasn't me who killed Chi You."
The eyes are as sincere as they need to be, nay the original owner is usually too unpleasant, Lu Youyi gave a fake smile and raised his hand to push him toward the coffin.
Jiang Luo walked helplessly to the coffin.
The coffin didn't close completely, and the young man lying inside it had a peaceful face, as if he hadn't died, but had just slept through it.
Chi You has a pair of thick eyebrows almost into the sideburns, eyes closed under the eyebrows, long and curly eyelashes like dark dense forest. Nose high and straight, the root of the mountain is full, such a face is undoubtedly handsome and peerless, especially his lips are pale, his face has a lifeless dead light, it looks like a strange sickly beauty.
Yet the longer one looked, the more the sense of dissonance intensified. Treachery and misanthropy surfaced from this face, and the gentle, placid smile at the corner of his mouth became false and cutthroat, giving the corpse a maniacal, maniacal, twisted aura.
As hypocritical and scary as the novel depicts, Chi You is Jiang Luo's favorite character in the book.
Jiang Luo looked at Chi You's body in a state of disorientation.
He remembered that when he was reading the article the other day, because he liked Chi You so much, he even took the time to write a three-thousand-word long review and post it in the forums, raving about how ruthless and hypocritical Chi You was.
As soon as the long review was posted, however, he was given a bad rap by Chi You readers.
[laughed at me, the owner of the text read it? Just say Chi You hypocrisy, hypocrisy your mother.]
[Elementary school students have time again. Wouldn't it be nice to do your homework while writing these 3,000 words?]
The big change in character was all the fault of those bad people, how can you blame Chi You?"]
[I see clearly is the owner himself hypocritical sinister it, what kind of people eyes is what kind of world, the owner's eyes Chi You, is another self it.]
Jiang Luo was very strange at that time, obviously Chi You's hypocrisy is so floating on the surface, this kind of truth that he can see at a glance, the people in the book by Chi You cheat on it, how can the people outside the book can not see through it?
Chi You How can you be gentle and kind?
Jokes, this is one of those jokes that makes Jiang Luo hilarious just thinking about it.
But he didn't laugh because he was facing the dead Chi You in front of him, and behind him there was a crowd of people staring at Jiang Luo.
There's also a looming crisis - Chi You will turn into an evil spirit and kill him.
He wore it at a very bad time, and if it had been a little earlier, he might have been able to avoid Chi You's death.
But things have come to a head, and Jiang Luo doesn't have time to let himself think too much, he can only try his best to think of a way to avoid the end of Cannon Fodder's death.
I don't know whether it was his illusion, but Jiang Luo felt that the area around the coffin was getting colder and colder.
Perhaps, he wanted to.
Perhaps Chi You has been transformed into an evil spirit and is in this very room.
Probably scaring himself, the atmosphere around him suddenly became eerie and treacherous.
Jiang Luo actually likes Chi You as a character, but only if he's not the one being avenged by Chi You.
He doesn't want to die.
Jiang Luo, a landscape designer, was working on a municipal project before he crossed over, and because he was so busy, Jiang Luo didn't finish the book "Evil Ghosts," but Jiang Luo knew Chi You's nature intimately.
Chi You is a madman, brutal and unforgiving in the face of a disinterested existence. If he wants to survive Chi You, he has to make Chi You interested in him.
No, we can't put all our hopes on that crazy Chi You guy. Jiang Luo has to clean up his act. If he can't protect himself now, then let someone who can protect him.
He had to get the living on his side, to make it so that even if Chi You came to kill him, people would choose to deal with Chi You to protect themselves, and that was the safest way to do it.
Chi You in the original book all needed the help of the main character's attack to get revenge, so it's clear that the dead can't fight the living after all.
It just takes time to bring in the living, and time is what Jiang Luo lacks.
The more dangerous the time, the more calm Jiang Luo's brain was, but suddenly, Jiang Luo could not help but shiver.
Coldness stabbed from skin to bone, and a sense of crisis screamed out, reminding Jiang Luo of something bad.
It was as if something was approaching Jiang Luo and was already less than a stone's throw away.
The desire for survival reached a critical point and Jiang Luo fell to his knees with a start.
The tremendous impact instantly forced his eyes red, and tears, like broken beads, cut across his pretty face.
Jiang Luo's voice clogged slightly, "Chi You, why did you leave me?"
In the midst of all the crying, Jiang Luo's actions did not attract much attention.
"Chi You ......" Jiang Luo lowered his head and covered his face, his voice gradually blurring, "Don't you die ok ...... "
Lu Youyi frowns, why is Jiang Luo crying?
Jiang Luo's voice is very low, can not be heard clearly. Lu Youyi couldn't help but wonder, behind him came a beautiful boy holding a rabbit doll, the doll's eyes moving, strange as if it were alive. The beautiful boy asked: "Lu Youyi, Jiang Luo why are you crying?"
This person is their classmate Ye Xun, a cool-looking beautiful boy, looks as if he is not interested in anything, but only love gossip.
Lu Youyi raised his finger and shushed, "Let's keep it down and eavesdrop."
Jiang Luo noticed their approach.
Pinpointing the moment, Jiang Luo choked, "Didn't you say you liked me? Why are you leaving me now, I regret rejecting your confession, Chi You, I just realized that I love you too."
Jiang Luo's cries are moving and sincere.
The cold air around them stagnated slightly.
Lu Youyi and Ye Xun were stunned in place.
"Please don't leave me," Jiang Luo whimpered and wept, "I don't believe you're dead, I will find your murderer and find a way to save you ...... I will make sure you come back to me. "
His voice was so low that Lu Youyi and Ye Xun could only vaguely hear the first few sentences, and as they watched Jiang Luo finish crying, the two of them hurriedly retreated.
Jiang Luo slowly stood up and looked down at Chi You in the coffin.
In Evil Ghosts, Cannon Fodder kills Chi You in an inexplicable manner, and Chi You's transformation into a ghost is not unlike any other ghost. While other ghosts have their souls intact, with all their arms and legs, Chi You's soul is cut into several pieces.
He was crippled in his soul, as if he were a human being without limbs and head, without ears and tongue and root of nose.
Incomplete souls cannot be invoked to express what is in their hearts or their grievances. Because of this, Chi You's resentment rushes up to the sky, and his stern ghostly aura attracts Feng Li, the celestial master of the text. With Feng Li's help, Chi You is able to cultivate and take revenge on his original body.
Jiang Luo's arrival is poorly timed, but fortunately there's still some time before the retaliation storyline.
He is now relying on the fact that a dead man cannot speak and be recruited to say that the murderer is him, and using this to clear his name.
If it was just to provoke Chi You, the madman, he could guarantee that a person who had a crush on Chi You wouldn't necessarily raise Chi You's interest, but a person who said that Chi You had a crush on him would definitely make even the evil spirits find it interesting.
More importantly, Chi You has a crush on him. As long as the living are convinced of this reason, then even if Chi You comes to kill him, in the eyes of others, it will not be a vendetta, but rather, it is because Chi You loves Jiang Luo too much that she wants to kill him.
The living will thus protect Jiang Luo, the innocent, and Jiang Luo at least buys a time gap to live and become stronger.
Lu Youyi and Ye Xun were completely confused.
The two of them looked at each other in disbelief, and Lu Youyi murmured, "Ye Xun, do you think he's playing a trick on us?"
Ye Xun faded, "What's the point of him tricking us? And he didn't even see us."
After some thought, Ye Xun added, "Jiang Luo is so stupid and bad that he's lucky he didn't laugh out loud at the funeral, do you think he'd cry so hard on purpose?"
Lu Youyi wiped his face violently, "But do you think it's possible? Chi You confessed to Jiang Luo?" He reached out and pointed at Jiang Luo. He reached out and pointed at Jiang Luo, incredulously saying, "Do you think Chi You Brother would fall for such a ......"
Looking at Jiang Luo's face that looked even more beautiful after crying, Lu Youyi's words choked in his throat and silently lowered his finger, "...... When did they get it on."
Ye Xun: "He just said that he once rejected Chi You's confession, Lu Youyi, when did Jiang Luo and Chi You fall out?"
"More than a month ago," Lu Youyi was brought to believe Jiang Luo's words, he took the initiative to fill in the details, "No wonder, this month Jiang Luo privately do not know how many times to scold Chi You brother, and want to curse Chi You brother, probably because Chi You brother to confess to the truth, he was angry. It's probably because Chi You confessed to Jiang Luo that Jiang Luo became enraged, and now Chi You is dead. Now that Chi You is dead, he regrets it and realizes that he actually likes Chi You ......."
Speaking of dogma, Lu Youyi but his eyes glistened with tears as he skillfully sniffled and wiped his eyes, "Ye Xun, this is too abusive."
Lu Youyi is a person who cries a lot when he watches bad idol dramas, Ye Xun is not surprised by his behavior, but is very interested in the gossip about Jiang Luo and Chi You, "He just said that he wants to find the murderer, and he wants Chi You to come back to him."
Lu Youyi is creeped out, "He's going to invoke spirits too?"
While they were talking, Jiang Luo walked through the crowd to Lu Youyi and Ye Xun.
Lu Youyi and Ye Xun looked at him with complexity, not even thinking about the possibility that Jiang Luo was acting.
What's the point of acting? What's the point?
No one thought Jiang Luo would lie about something that could be known by invoking Chi You's spirit and asking him.
Lu Youyi pressed on, "Jiang Luo, you want to invoke the spirit too?"
Jiang Luo nodded slowly, "I want to invoke the spirit."
Lu Youyi and Ye Xun looked at each other.
The fact that he dared to invoke the spirit proved that he was not faint-hearted and that what he said was not false.
Lu Youyi was actually not familiar with Chi You, or rather, everyone here at the funeral was not familiar with Chi You.
Chi You is obviously kind and friendly, but he has never had anyone too close to him. Lu Youyi's attitude towards Chi You is mostly one of admiration and respect, which is immediately eased when he realizes that Jiang Luo is not Chi You's murderer, but rather the person Chi You likes.
Just now, Jiang Luo had been treated roughly, so it was inevitable that he would be a bit awkward. Lu Youyi said sullenly, "So the murderer really isn't you, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before. Don't worry, once Brother Chi You's seventh birthday arrives, we will know who the murderer is."
Jiang Luo thanked him with tears in his eyes.
He thought to himself, "I am really sorry, you Chi You brother s soul head seven is not invoked back.
Jiang Luo looked back at the coffin one last time and said, "Aren't we going to settle the commission for Hotel 129? Let's go now."
All three of them are Birch University students majoring in Natural Sciences and Social Studies, Class 01.
This specialty was only established for metaphysicians, and ordinary people did not know about the existence of this specialty. There was only one class in the specialty, and there were a total of eight students in the class.
They were also able to get out of school this time because they were going to be solving commissions to earn credits, and purposely took the time to pay their respects to Chi You.
Jiang Luo can't wait to see the unnatural events of the new world, and a certain sense of urgency is chasing him to become stronger, "I used to be too ignorant of progress, and became complacent when I made a little progress, but now that I want to avenge Chi You's death, I realize that this little thing of mine counts for nothing... ..."
He incidentally gives an excuse for his change of character, "I'm going to get stronger to avenge Chi You, and starting with Hotel 129, I'm going to say goodbye to my old self."
Lu Youyi appreciated this kind of courageous person, he was so enthusiastic that he slapped Jiang Luo's shoulder: "Good brother, that's the way to do it!"
Ye Xun pulled on the rabbit's ears and looked at Jiang Luo with the eyes of a prodigal son, "It's not too late for you to start changing."
Jiang Luo forced a smile, "No, it's already too late."
The three men were despondent in place for a moment, and walked out of the crowd in a low key.
And so out of the door, the doorway to a big old man suddenly reached out to Jiang Luo body to touch, Lu Youyi back long eyes like pulling Jiang Luo a hide, suspicious: "What are you doing?"
The big-bellied old man was short and narrow in the center of the human body, obscure and dark, with a look of indulgence with a loss of essence in the kidneys, his eyes dodged, "I didn't do anything."
Jiang Luo was behind Lu Youyi, looking at him with narrowed eyes.
Ye Xun hugged the doll rabbit and suddenly lowered his head close to the rabbit's mouth, "What, you're saying that this person's tendons don't bind his bones and his veins don't control his flesh, that he has the appearance of a 'ghostly restlessness' and that he'll be in danger of being killed in the near future?"
The big-bellied old man stiffened, "What are you babbling about!"
He still wanted to curse, but when he met Ye Xun's eyes, he didn't dare to say anything else. Ye Xun's eyes were so dark that he couldn't see the light, for a moment, it made the old man's body hairy, he had a kind of intuition that what this man said was true, he would really be in danger of being killed.
Lu Youyi cursed and pushed Jiang Luo to leave, Ye Xun leisurely followed and slowly said, "Oh, so Xiao Fen, you were wrong. This person just has a black mist hanging around the root of the mountain, and will be plagued by misfortune and bad luck."
The old man let out a long breath and came back to his senses, only to realize that his legs had gone weak.
Outside the door, Jiang Luo said, "Ye Xun, I didn't expect you to defend me so well."
Ye Xun said slowly, "And no need to be so thankful, but if you'd like to tell a story about what happened between you and Chi You, I'd be happy to hear it."
Lu Youyi's eyes lit up and he turned his head to stare at Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo pondered for a while, wrapping his fingers around his black hair, and after quickly splicing together the plots of various idol dramas and novels, he began to leap into action.
He looked up at the overcast sky and sighed, "That's a long story."
"Chi You He ...... is actually deeply in love with me."
