"Why do you want to help me?" Wu Sheng asked Xiang Hungry Ghost.
"Does it have to be a reason?" the starving ghost asked back.
Wu Sheng nodded: "Yes, yes."
There was both puzzlement and vigilance in his eyes.
Xu Wang understood.
Finding out that Wu Sheng was not a ghost, it was very unusual for Xiao Hungry not to point out and beware, and to help each other, it really made people unable to understand the motive.
The starving ghost fell silent. It was obvious that he didn't want to say it. But this kind of "don't want" is not resistance and disgust, but more like not knowing how to say it.
Xu Wang and Wu Sheng waited patiently for a while, the starving ghost who kept his head down, finally raised his eyes and looked at them quietly.
"Actually, I have led many ghosts through the road, but you are the first ones who are willing to take me out of the underworld, and all the way to the heaven..."
He spoke in a low voice, his voice was soft, but his emotions were heavy.
"It doesn't matter if you are ghosts or not, I only know that you are my friends."
His eyes were very hot, completely opposite to his cowardly character, so burning that Xu Wang and Wu Sheng dared not look directly.
"Little hungry..." Xu Wang was upset, but he didn't know what to say to the other party.
The starving ghost recovered from this call, and immediately became embarrassed, just like the one who told his heart calmly was not himself, and threw the sentence, "I'll go outside to help you find the direction of the ghost spring!", and ran away in a hurry.
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Hungry disappeared, and Xu Wang looked at Wu Sheng, hesitating to say anything.
Wu Sheng sighed: "Just say what you want to say."
"Don't you blame me?" Xu Wang asked.
Wu Sheng was stunned: "What am I blaming you for?"
Xu Wang said, "It's my fault for doing this, I'm not persuading Xiao Hung to leave the East Courtyard."
Wu Sheng shrugged: "Yeah, if you don't persuade, the mess just now can't be involved."
Xu Wang was silent.
He pierced Xiao Hungry to help Wu Sheng cheat, and it was revealed that they were not ghosts, which led to Xiao Hungry's sad past, and he regarded them as friends.
This persuasion is indeed a mess.
Seeing his depressed expression, Wu Sheng reached out and touched his head, sighing, and then changed the topic: "But if you don't persuade, I will persuade."
Xu Wang looked up blankly: "Really?"
Wu Sheng said, "Of course it's true."
"Are you also tangled?" Xu Wang was surprised, "I thought you would teach me a lesson, task first."
"Rational doesn't mean inhuman." Wu Sheng's black line, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he directly pinched Xu Wang's face, "I don't need to be entangled in this situation, am I a devil..."
Xu Wang was not wronged at all, so he didn't feel embarrassed to cry out in pain.
Besides, knowing that Wu Sheng was in the same mood as him, he finally gained some comfort in the endless tangle.
"Hey?" Wu Sheng was stunned suddenly, as if remembering something, and then immediately asked Xu Wang, "He said just now that he would lead a lot of ghosts to pass by?"
"Ah? Ah. Right..." Xu Wang couldn't get his head back for a while.
However, Wu Sheng was already running fast on the road of thinking: "Who are these 'many ghosts'? Are they the same level breakers as us? If so, does he remember them all?"
Xu Wang suddenly widened his eyes and finally caught Wu Sheng's point.
Since they failed and retired on 8/23, they have repeatedly passed through several levels in order to get the badge, and naturally they have repeatedly encountered some NPCs, but none of these NPCs have remembered them.
1/23 NPCs are bears, which can be ignored; on 2/23 red-eye flights, passengers were fine-tuned and some old and new faces were added or removed, but 90% of the passengers were still old acquaintances. Pattern; 3/23 They didn't meet Xiao Ding again, but they met Yuan Zai, and even a familiar mall security guard, but these two had no memory of them; 4/23 They avoided Hei Momo, but repeated I met Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai, and the latter two were the same. It was like restoring the factory settings. I treated them the same as the first time, and even Xiao Huang's lines did not change.
Along the way, "NPC will reset" has been defaulted to the owl's operating rules, and this matter is easy to understand when you think about it. If the NPC has memory, isn't the owl messed up? This is much more lethal than the little cards Wu Sheng sent.
Confused, the starving ghost is back.
Closing the door on tiptoe, he said like a thief, "Ghost Spring is in the northeast corner of the heaven."
Wu Sheng and Xu Wang did not speak.
The starving ghost thought they didn't believe it, and said quickly, "I've smelled ghosts before, and the northeast direction is the most abundant, so I can't be wrong."
"There's nothing urgent about Guiquan," Xu Wang pulled the starving ghost into a chair and sat down, "I'll ask you another thing first."
In the face of "exploring the nature of the owl", it is not important to pass the level, badges and so on.
"Well, you asked." The starving ghost cooperated obediently.
"You said just now that you led a lot of ghosts across the road. Who are these 'lots of ghosts'?" Xu Wang couldn't wait to turn around and straight to the point.
Xiao Hungry frowned, looking a little distressed: "Who are they? Are you asking about their names or their looks? Actually, I'm not sure that they are all ghosts. It seems that there are some who are not ghost-like..."
"Name and appearance are fine!" Xu Wang's tone, because of excitement, was unconsciously eager.
"Oh." The starving ghost nodded, his eyes floated in the air, and he began to recall.
As time passed, Xu Wang's heart was about to reach his throat.
Wu Sheng also pursed his lips slightly.
The starving ghost suddenly banged his head with a tangled face, "Strange, why can't I remember it?"
"Don't worry, think slowly." Xu Wang tried to slow down his voice.
The starving ghost looked at the two of them, as if asking for help, with a confused and painful expression: "I really can't remember, it was obvious that he led those ghosts to pass by, but why, I can't even remember a name or a face. ..." He said more and more anxiously, and the circles of his eyes were a little red.
"You..." Xu Wang wanted to encourage him, but Wu Sheng grabbed his wrist gently.
The rest of the words were swallowed back by Xu Wang.
Change Wu Sheng to ask the starving ghost: "You don't remember their names, their faces, you always remember what they did to you, right?"
The starving ghost was completely chaotic. He instinctively followed his voice, but his eyes were blank.
"What you just said," Wu Sheng reminded, "None of them are willing to take you out of the underworld."
The four eyes met for a long time, and the starving ghost finally said weakly: "If I said, I don't remember anything, just remember the fact that none of them are willing to take me away, will you be angry?"
Wu Sheng shook his head without any hesitation: "It's amazing to remember this one."
"Great?" The starving ghost didn't understand.
Wu Sheng glanced at Xu Wang.
Xu Wang’s heart was enlightened—Wu Military Teacher’s Classroom, here we come.
However, I faced NPCs that had been restored to factory settings before, but this time I faced an NPC who "may be able to remember something". It is estimated that there will be subversive reforms in the teaching plan of their own military advisors.
Wu Sheng: "We don't belong to this world."
Xu Wang: "..." There's no need to be so final all of a sudden! ! !
"Doesn't belong?" The starving ghost didn't know whether it was slowness or a high degree of acceptance, so he could still ask.
Wu Sheng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it doesn't belong. We belong to another world."
The starving ghost's eyes were sluggish, and his face was stunned.
Xu Wang helped his forehead.
"You don't need to understand, just try to remember," Wu Sheng emphasized again, "We don't belong here, and those guys like us don't belong here either. Appearing here may not match your time, but it must be a fixed time period... "
The starving ghost was about to cry: "Why should I remember this..."
"Do you want to be free?"
"Um?"
"Your life is not necessarily a life under your own control. What you do now is controlled by a force. Don't you want to get rid of it?"
"I have no life."
"It's the same with ghosts."
"If what you say is true, can I get rid of these strange words by memorizing them?"
"Remember first, you can think, and when you think, you will doubt, and when you have doubts, you will have the opportunity to break through the shackles."
Xiao Hungry asked for help, no, he looked at Xu Wang as if asking for help.
Xu Wang supported his forehead, feeling a little distressed for him inexplicably: "Good boy, remember first, if you don't make a breakthrough, just let it be."
Xiao Hungry was obedient. After that, no matter what Wu Sheng said, he would move his lips and recite it silently, remembering that it was serious.
Finally, when Wu Sheng finished speaking, he asked, "Since you don't belong here, why are you here?"
"Like you, it is also controlled by this force," Wu Sheng said, "but it controls us to enter and controls you to cooperate."
The starving ghost blinked, trying his best to digest what he could understand. After digesting it, he suddenly got stuck: "Aren't you looking for Guiquan? What does what you just said have anything to do with Guiquan?"
Wu Sheng was caught off guard by the question.
Xu Wang was also stunned there.
Yeah, what does this have to do with Guiquan
When they talk about the universe and life, they forget their original mission, but they are hungry and help them keep it firmly in mind.
But how should I answer this
The former Hungry Ghost was just a kind-hearted ghost who led the way. They felt guilty for lying. Now the Hungry Ghost is their friend, and that guilt has long since turned into a sense of guilt!
"It's okay, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask." The Starved Ghost said calmly, "Since I promised to help you find it, I will definitely not disappoint you."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, opened his arms slightly, raised his head, and his brows slowly became dignified, as if secretly exerting force.
After a while, Xu Wang and Wu Sheng suddenly felt that the ground under their feet began to soften, as if the masonry had turned into mud!
The next moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The three of them somehow came to a yard. There were no trees in the yard. There was only a spring in the center. The spring water was gurgling out, but it was unclear and almost black.
Ghost Spring!
Wu Sheng was shocked, and Xu Wang looked directly at the starving ghost next to him, with an unbelievable expression: "Did you teleport us?!"
The starving ghost touched the back of his head, smirked a little embarrassedly, and still said that cowardly: "Little ghost art, it's not worth mentioning."
The wind stopped.
The courtyard was suddenly very quiet, only the sound of the spring gushing down, and it was dull, and people felt dull when they heard it.
"Then what? The ghost spring has been found, and what do I need to do?" The starving ghost looked at Xu Wang, then at Wu Sheng, restrained his curiosity, and said with difficulty, "If it's inconvenient, I can just avoid it."
