Thirteen was really scared. What he was afraid of was Wu Zhu’s unexpected smile and the expression of the princess next to him. He was afraid that at some point, Lin Xi would become someone who could be used to threaten him.
Thing, he was supposed to be the cold-blooded temporary worker who watched his partner die without changing his expression. He had done such a thing several times.
But this time, it seems that just like what Jing Xiaoxiao said, Lin Xi is the soul that left him with a spiritual imprint. Their past lives were entangled with so many entanglements that even today, even if they can't think of the past, they can instinctively
I want to protect her, but I can't help but be affected by her.
In fact, starting from Oda Yu's incident, Thirteen should have noticed a dangerous signal. This girl can influence his thinking, and can make many things that he has abandoned in the past easily break into his heart. For example, if it were replaced by normal
, Thirteen will not give Xiao Tianyu a chance to speak at all, he will kill him without hesitation, and logically believes that this is what must be done to catch the ghost.
But when she cried and said no, Thirteen saw her own ugliness and cruelty in her eyes, and discovered the conscience that had been wiped out in the past.
This is not good. Thirteen understands that when an investigator feels that he is ugly, cruel, and without conscience, it means that he is not far from death. Just like now, the task before him can no longer be described as a narrow escape.
Raising ghosts through the five internal organs is not simply emptying out the five internal organs of the deceased, it is a cruel method of raising ghosts in which even the souls of the killed are taken out and fed.
The person who was killed was not only dead, but was completely terminated, and even the heroic words of "becoming a good man again after eighteen years" were disillusioned.
"Actually, you don't need to be so afraid. We are not asking you to kill the murderer who raised the ghost, but we need you to find him from the prison. Once you identify the murderer, more senior investigators will be involved in the next work.
Go and complete it." Wu Zhu's tone became more sincere, and he pushed a detailed mission outline in front of Thirteen, "Believe me, if it weren't for time constraints, or if there were other options, I wouldn't let you go.
Carrying out such a dangerous mission."
"Others say you're telling lies with your eyes open, but you look like you've been telling lies all your life, right?" Thirteen finished the mission summary and was finally willing to read it.
"Actually, this mission is not as scary as you think. You don't need to fight the murderer, you just need to find him through the details. He may be a prisoner, an early warning person, or even a cleaning agent. Once you confirm his identity
Identity, you only need to pass the information to our internal response, and your mission is completed.
My dear godson, you see, although it is a bit dangerous, as long as you succeed, you can reach 1,000 performance points! This is more than many investigators can earn after working for 2 years." The princess launched a charm offensive.
"My godmother is really not as good as my biological mother. It's obviously a way to commit suicide, but coming from your mouth, it's as fun as going to Disneyland. It's so enjoyable, why don't you go?" Thirteen looked at her godmother, for the first time
Talking back to the princess head-on, no matter what, your life is almost gone, and you are so scared!
"No matter what, I need to make sure you are willing to take on the mission?" Wu Zhu asked seriously.
"There are too many uncertain factors. According to the introduction, it is almost equivalent to his domain, and the prisoners have become his granary. He is proficient in mastering the subtle changes in the entire prison." Thirteen stared straight at it.
A detailed introduction to Tianshui Prison. I randomly stuffed a few lollipops into my mouth and bit them into pieces.
"Are you willing or not?" Wu Zhu asked eagerly without wasting any time.
The library of the Underworld Bureau is very large, even larger than the library of the university. It is divided into three floors. It contains hundreds of thousands of books of all kinds, most of which are materials and historical documents, and most of them are
They are all hand-written and unique copies. Each book is wrapped in a delicate leather cover, protecting them even at an advanced age. After passing through countless hands, they can still quietly wait for the next reader to visit.
Lin Xi likes to read books. Even today when text messages are rampant, she still likes to bring one or two of her favorite books to the river on weekends, and lean on the sycamore tree in the sunshine to flip through paper books and smell the fragrance of flowers and ink.
Fragrant, I unconsciously took a nap lazily in the embrace of words.
During her days in France, Lin Xi spent many weekends like this by the Seine River in Paris. Books made it okay to have no regrets without a boyfriend. Lin Xi could imagine herself as the heroine in every book, and feel
The courage of the hero or the hero, the decadence of the poet, the romance of the singer, or the domineeringness of the CEO...but none of them are like the ruffian ghost hunter like Thirteen.
"The book "Classical Anecdotes of Love" is the same book as "Jing Ping Mei" for practitioners. It records all kinds of supernatural love stories that happened from ancient times to modern times." Lin Xi was standing on the bookshelf.
While she was reading a book seriously, Shisan suddenly appeared behind her, showing off to herself, "There used to be an investigator named Pu Songling who was terrible at catching ghosts, but he wrote good books, so he plagiarized them."
This book "Classic Anecdotes", I remember writing the novel "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", it became very popular at that time, with all kinds of praise and recommendations, it was in the top three of all major lists. With an annual salary of tens of millions, it became a
The idol of thousands of writers.”
"How come you are always so clear about these messy things? But you can't remember things that are composed of 26 letters?" Lin Xi closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf. When he turned around, he saw Thirteen still looking like a ruffian.
,"are you still busy?"
"Well, I've finished all the little things. It's a rare day out today, so you can stay at home for seven days and do something to make each other happy." Thirteen held a lollipop in his mouth and put his hands in his windbreaker pockets.
I asked innocently.
"If you want to take me to check out a room, I will really kick your eggs out." Lin Xi said extremely seriously.
"From what you said, am I such a horny person? Why do you have to wait for the second date to do third-level things? What will happen if you go on a date with me today?" Thirteen is still the same shameless person.
Look.
"Dating you?" Lin Xi instinctively looked Shisan up and down twice, twice, "I'm sorry, you are not my type. Although I am not a girl who hates poverty and loves wealth, and loves handsome and hates ugly girls, at least I
There are still requirements for the character of the other half.”
"Character, young master, I don't have much money, but I still have a lot of character. For example..." Thirteen paused for three minutes to think after this example, "I thought of it! For example, I risked my life.
I saved you once, and saved poor Xiao Tianyu again, but I almost died both times, does that count as a good character?"
"Huh?!" Lin Xi was speechless for a moment.
"Look, just obey me today." Thirteen showed an evil smile again.
"Okay, even if you have a little bit of character, I still owe you two favors. But you just invited me on a date with nothing, isn't it too insincere?" Lin Xi crossed his arms on his chest, showing off
Holding on to his last bit of arrogance.
"Then what does it mean to be sincere?" Shisan asked curiously.
"At least give me a flower or something?" Lin Xi said casually, but Shisan suddenly took a step towards her and pressed forward fiercely with his whole body. His aura was as powerful as an overlord's and was invincible. Lin Xi was stunned.
The whole thing was leaning against the bookshelf.
This distance meant that their lips were only a few centimeters apart. Lin Xi could smell the faint taste of toffee in Thirteen's mouth. This damn uncle, who ate a lot of sweets on weekdays, had perfect white teeth. Lin Xi
Unconsciously, she recalled the kiss when they said goodbye in the cold storage. It was her first kiss.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi's little face turned crimson, and the little deer in her heart jumped wildly. She couldn't help but want to shout "Don't be gay, the overlord!" Fuck me...
But Thirteen once again disappointed Lin Xi. He pressed over and took out the book "Classical Love Anecdotes" from behind Lin Xi, opened it casually, and tore out a page from the middle.
Lin Xi was so frightened that he almost cried out. You must know that the value of this book is unpredictable. Even the original version of the story was copied by Pu Songling. Just think about it and you will know how precious it is.
Thirteen destroyed it like tearing up toilet paper, and then put the book back in its place as if nothing had happened.
He skillfully took the yellowed piece of paper and folded it, "In the past when I was in technical school, the dormitory was full of young men with nowhere to vent their hormones. Everyone wanted to pick up girls like crazy, but they couldn't.
I was so poor that I wished I could boil my own eggs and eat them when I was making instant noodles.
As a result, everyone set a rule: no matter who is in love with the horse, the rest of the people will help him fold 99 roses out of paper and give them away.
At that time, I was too arrogant. I always felt that the women in the technical academy were not all skilled women. How could I give my first time to such a woman, let alone those women who studied auto parts all looked like hammers?
It seems that I really can't bear it.
As a result, I became the gold medal rose-folding expert in the dormitory, and I can fold good roses."
After Thirteen finished speaking, a delicate paper rose was handed to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's head was confused. She was born into a wealthy family and returned from studying in France. There was never a shortage of men around her who wanted to pursue her, even those who were interested in women. Those men always tried their best to please her, including all kinds of precious jewelry, all kinds of
Thoughtful gifts, even "I love you" spelled out with 999 roses, and even fireworks...
But no one has ever given her such a simple, cheap, and precious rose. Lin Xi's eyes turned a little red. She was thinking about her situation at this moment, and that she was on a completely different path.
The way back. She might die tomorrow, or she might never see the future again.
In this world, she is dull, clumsy, not cruel enough, not fierce enough, a burden, a burden, but the man in front of her has never abandoned her. He has always been by her side, regardless of pain, hardship, and despair.
Hesitation, he is there.
"Paper roses? Are you giving them to dead people? You only use this kind of paper flowers when sweeping graves, right?" Lin Xi's heart kept saying to herself, take it, silly girl! Hold him! Kiss him! Kiss him with your tongue! Right here.
In the sea of books you love most, dedicate your first time to him! Feel his body temperature, his scars, his strength, and his manliness...
But in the end, she still showed her damn tsundere attributes habitually. Throughout the ages, tsundere has ruined many marriages. Doesn't Lin Xi know?
"It's true, red roses are more lovable, right?" Thirteen smiled, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and cut his palm with a slash. While Lin Xi was stunned, he poured bright red blood on it.
He touched the paper rose and turned the flower in his hand into bright scarlet. "Do you feel better now?"
