Those years of doing business in the Three Realms

Chapter 5 Human World
  Lin Xiang's face was swollen from Ruyi's beating.

He asked Pluto gloomily: "What's wrong with Ruyi?"

Pluto smiled: "Probably a natural enemy."

"What?"

"Foxes and finches are natural enemies."

Lin Xiang suddenly realized: "That makes perfect sense."

Pluto smiled: "If you want to coax a girl, you can give her a small gift."

In the evening, Que Nu watched the substitute play chess with the evil soul in the backyard pavilion. From time to time, he also gave a few words of guidance.

Lin Xiang didn't dare to get close at all, and waved to Que Girl from a distance: "I'll take you out to play!"

The bird girl flashed in front of Lin Xiang in the blink of an eye and said, "Okay."

Lin Xiang: "Shouldn't we call you master?"

The sparrow girl blinked her eyes and said, "Master..."

"Hey..." Lin responded accordingly.

"It's impossible to call the master, even in this life." The bird girl said with a serious face, "Unless Pluto is here."

"Okay..." It was quite honest.

"Well, where are we going?"

"Just take a look near Yanliu Lane...and..." Lin Xiang hesitated.

"What else?" The bird girl raised her eyebrows.

"When we are alone together, don't think about eating me..." Lin Xiang said with some fear.

The bird girl chuckled, and then said seriously: "This is impossible to say."

"..."

"Let's go."

------

It turns out that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are many stalls set up in Yanliu Lane.

"Usually there are only fortune tellers, but today there are everything." Lin Xiang said.

The bird girl nodded: "It's August 15th."

"Let's buy some moon cakes and go to the yard to enjoy the moon and eat cakes at night." Lin Xiang also had a rare moment of romance.

"It's just that I can't eat food from the human world." The bird girl shook her head helplessly.

Lin Xiang was stunned: "Me too, what should I do?"

"Then let's go back and find sister Ruyi."

"Stop looking for Ruyi..."

"why?"

"Because you are natural enemies."

"what?"

"The natural enemy of the species."

The bird girl smiled and shook her head: "I will use her kitchen later."

"Let's deal with the problem first. The use of Ruyi Kitchen needs long-term consideration."

The bird girl just followed Lin Xiang indifferently.

When passing by Ruyi Noodle Shop, Ruyi gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Xiang in the distance, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Son of a bitch..."

"Sneeze!" Lin Xiang sneezed for no reason. He rubbed his nose and said, "Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?"

The bird girl covered her mouth and smiled: "What do you think of sister Ruyi?"

"She...has big breasts...and her temper is bigger than her breasts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiang felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

I saw Ruyi standing behind him with her arms folded. She looked at the sparrow girl with disdain and said sarcastically: "Can you take off your makeup before you talk? Do you know that your powder is about to crack? You white-haired one Ugly!"

"Sister Ruyi, it seems like your hair is white too." The sparrow girl was still smiling.

Ruyi stretched out his hand as if to strike.

The bird girl frowned slightly: "Alas..."

Lin Xiang clearly felt that two different spiritual powers began to gather, and a barrier was set up around him.

Is this the beginning of a fight?
  He quickly squeezed in between the two of them, laughing with each other: "What are you doing? If you have something to say, please say it. Sister Ruyi, don't be angry..."

Ruyi waved his sleeves, threw Lin Xiang aside, and then used the maximum Orchid Fox Fire.

"Sister Ruyi is so merciless." The bird girl opened her mouth leisurely and blurted out a transparent raindrop.

Ruyi seemed to realize what it was and retracted her hand in shock.

The bird girl smiled and said: "As you can see, the bird is the god of wind and rain."

Among the five elements, water is the most powerful against fire.

Ruyi stiffened her neck: "What's so great? This is an electric fire, and water can also conduct electricity!"

"Sister Ruyi, don't deceive yourself. You are a demon and I am a god. Based on this alone, you and I are thousands of miles apart."

"God..." Lin Xiang murmured.

Ruyi turned his head and glared at Lin Xiang: "What's wrong? I can attain enlightenment by practicing for another three to five hundred years."

"..."

The barrier dissipated and pedestrians came and went on the road, but no one noticed anything unusual.

"By the way, let me use the kitchen." Que Nu said to Ruyi in a consultative tone.

"No."

"Thank you so much, I won't be polite then."

Ignoring Ruyi's refusal, Que Nu walked into Ruyi Noodle House gracefully.

Lin Xiang stared at the bird girl's back in a daze.

Ruyi snorted coldly: "Lin, are you thinking about all the things in your belly? Why is she willing to follow you? Even if Pluto is here, with her spiritual power, it is very difficult to escape. Easy."

"Isn't it because of love?" Lin Xiang looked at Ruyi with wide eyes, clear and stupid.

"...Because of the destiny talisman." Ruyi gritted his teeth.

------

In the evening, Lin Xiang and Que Nu sat in the courtyard admiring the moon.

"This is stuffed with holy fruit. I made it myself." Que Nu took out a piece of brown mooncake from the plate and brought it to Lin Xiang's mouth.

Lin Xiang's face turned red and he reached out to take it: "I'll do it myself."

Seeing his appearance, Que Girl couldn't help but smile and said, "You are just a talker."

Lin Xiang talks about meat and vegetables, he is just a talker.

"Xiao Que's cooking skills are really good..."

The bird girl blinked at him, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed into a crescent moon: "You call Ruyi sister, and you call me Xiaoque. I am much older than Yiyi."

"..."

Lin Xiang was stunned.

"You, call me whatever you like, I don't care anyway."

Also, the personalities of her and Ruyi were that one didn't care and the other cared too much.

"You asked me to call you that when we first met..."

"After a thorough understanding, the title should be appropriately changed." The bird girl lifted Lin Xiang's chin with her hand.

Lin Xiang looked at the enchanting look of the bird girl and felt in his heart that she was more like a fox than Yiyi.

In order to prevent himself from continuing to be distracted, Lin Xiang stood up and said, "I'm going to find Hades."

"Why are you looking for him? Why don't you come with me to admire the moon and worship it?"

Lin Xiang fled in despair.

------

Pluto is arranging his appearance in front of the mirror, getting ready to go out to do errands.

Lin Xiang suddenly pushed open the door and entered.

Lin Xiang also stood in front of the mirror. His reflection in the mirror winked at him, crying and laughing, completely out of sync with the real thing.

"What's wrong with your mirror?"

Pluto said calmly: "Everything has yin and yang. Although the things in the yang world are reflected in the mirror, they are exactly the same, but they are already yin. They are independent individuals, but they also have to depend on you. When you don't look in the mirror, He no longer exists, and when you look in the mirror, what the mirror reflects is his world."

"Everything is exactly the same." Lin Xiang looked at himself dancing in the mirror and said, "It's completely different, okay?"

"Everything has animism, and the things in the mirror also have animism. It's normal to be trapped in such a narrow place all day long and occasionally lose control."

"No wonder people say you shouldn't look in the mirror at night. If you see this at night, you will faint from fear."

Pluto smiled slightly: "With your current spiritual power, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm timid. Even if I become Iron Man and see these things, I will still be afraid..."

"Come on, follow me out to do some errands."

"I'm not going, I'm going to find Ruyi later."

"Ok?"

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival. We're all among the troublemakers. It's not good for Ruyi to be alone outside."

"You do care about her."

"Let me go, she is your spiritual pet, how could you do this to her?"

"I never said I wouldn't let her come and cause trouble. She is more disciplined and only wants to follow orders."

"She's your crush!" Lin Xiang turned around and said, "Go and do the work yourself. I'm asking for leave today."

Pluto nodded: "Oh, okay, there is no salary this month."

When Xiang Lin heard this, he was unhappy: "I just asked for one day's leave, why did I deduct one month's salary!"

"Because I'm the boss."

"You are breaking the law! Do you know that you are breaking the law?"

Pluto raised the corner of his mouth: "The law of the earth?"

"My uncle." Lin Xiang said dejectedly.

"Let's go."

"What mission?"

Pluto threw the phone to him: "See for yourself."

Prime Minister Lin clicked on the screen and saw a piece of news:
  The case of missing children from an orphanage.

"Orphanage?"

Hades nodded: "Yes."

"Brother Pluto, your personal morality has been elevated to a level beyond Lin's reach..." Prime Minister Lin looked at Pluto with eyes full of stars and admiration on his face.

"I never take the initiative to interfere in the affairs of the underworld. I only accepted the dean's entrustment."

Lin Xiang's expression changed: "You! How can you collect money from the welfare home!"

"Give and take."

Lin Xiangyi said righteously: "No! Give it back! Deduct it from my salary and give it to you."

Pluto said helplessly: "Will you donate it back for me later? There is a donation account under the website."

Lin Xiang said oh, lowered his head and tinkered for a long time, and donated all the money in the account of V Xin, the person responsible for the incident.

The veins on Pluto's forehead popped out: "How do you use my money to donate?"

"You are Pluto, and you want the money in the world to be useful!"

Pluto sighed and waved his hand: "That's it, let's go."

------

The two of them teleported to the entrance of Fuaiyuan.

Generally, welfare homes like to have this type of name, such as Happy Home, Love Home, Happy Home, etc.

There are unfortunate children inside.

Pluto said to Lin Xiang: "You and the bird girl are connected by a life talisman. If you are in danger, you can send a message to her."

Lin Xiang nodded.

“There are limits to this connection, and beyond that it doesn’t work.”

"What do you mean?"

"If you were in the human world and I was in the underworld, you wouldn't be able to communicate with me."

"It's so inconvenient..."

"Because your spiritual power is too low."

"..."

"However, I have no such boundaries. I can open a sound transmission channel with you anywhere, but you cannot unilaterally open a sound transmission channel with me."

"It's just like a phone call. You can call and answer, but I can only answer but not call."

"Within a circle, you can fight or receive." Pluto smiled.

Lin Xiangqie said: "Just wait, one day, I will have boundless power and be the best in the world." Pluto looked at him meaningfully: "There will be such a day."

"You didn't hit me. I'm not used to it."

"You can also communicate with me if you are in danger, but there are too many people who communicate with me every day, and I may ignore them. I usually only talk to those who I actively communicate with."

"...Okay, let's get down to business." Lin Xiang was helpless. I deeply feel that all the authority in the universe is set up for a helper like him.

------

The dean of Fuaiyuan is a woman in her fifties, named Li Lingyu, who is pacing back and forth with a sad look on her face: "I don't know what's going on, and I can't see anyone coming to steal the child on the surveillance! I really have no choice but to trouble you."

Lin Xiang looked around.

The office is very simple, with no extra decoration.

A banner hangs on the wall: Charity serves the society and love lasts forever.

Presented to: Li Yuling, Dean of Fuaiyuan.

There is a picture frame on the desk with her photo and life story on it.

Seeing that Pluto didn't speak, Xiang Lin could only comfort him: "Dean Li, don't worry, could it be done by an insider?"

Li Lingyu shook her head: "It's impossible. All the employees here have been screened by me. I'm afraid that people with ulterior motives can get in."

Lin Xiang thought for a while and said, "Is it possible that the child will run out to play on his own?"

"Impossible, that would be too dangerous. Every child will be accompanied by someone when they go out."

Lin Xiang looked at the surveillance camera and found that nothing suspicious was captured.

Did these children disappear out of thin air?
  The silent Pluto finally spoke: "Stay here for a few days and observe."

Lin Xiang's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

Pluto patted Lin Xiang on the shoulder and said seriously: "I'll leave this matter to you. Doing more good deeds is good for you, so I won't take away your merits."

"What the hell... Daqing, you are responsible for sending me here!"

Pluto smiled and nodded: "If you have any questions, please contact me."

"..."

Watching Pluto leave, Lin Xiang shouted angrily: "You think I am Detective Conan!"

Li Lingyu called them here, originally with the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a live doctor. Now seeing this situation, she couldn't help but sigh, feeling that there was no hope.

Even so, she politely said: "I will arrange a room for you."

Lin Xiang nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely solve the problem."

Li Ling sighed: "I hope so."

------

The room Li Lingyu arranged for Lin Xiang was at the end of the dormitory.

Cool and secluded.

Lin Xiang has a sensitive constitution and felt a chill on his back as soon as he entered the room. Feeling uncomfortable, he immediately withdrew.

I have to say that institutions like the welfare home are really full of negative energy.

The children inside rarely laugh or play.

Even when playing on the slide in the yard, most people are extremely quiet and look numb. Unlike ordinary children who bark and make noises.

Every time a child passed by him, he would smile and stretch out his hand and say, "Come for a hug."

Most of the responses I received were indifferent or timid.

He went to Li Yuling's office to ask what was going on.

“Have the children in the institution been abused by caregivers?”

Li Lingyu shook her head: "Never, I will not allow such a morally corrupt person to work here."

"These kids don't look happy."

Li Lingyu sighed: "To be honest, no matter what you do, it's hard to make them happy."

"I don't want to let go of any clues."

"Children all disappear suddenly late at night. There have been eight of them so far. I was also taken to the police for questioning, but there was no evidence that it was man-made."

To be honest, Lin Xiang was a little suspicious of Li Lingyu, because she was the dean, and no one was more convenient than her when it came to committing crimes.

But looking at the anxious look on her face, it didn't look like she was acting.

Lin Xiangjian couldn't ask anything, so he went back to his room.

Night falls.

People often say: Autumn tiger, autumn tiger.

Logically speaking, autumn is still very hot.

Lin Xiang was too cold to sleep in the dormitory.

The bone-deep coldness stuck to his body like a foot wrap.

The old-fashioned windows made creaking sounds, and the curtains were sometimes rolled up and sometimes fell by the wind.

Suddenly, the faint cry of a child could be heard in my ears.

There is a situation!
  He stood up instantly and walked out of the room.

Because he lives in the last room. Looking around, the corridor was completely dark.

He coughed slightly, and the dim voice-activated light came on. He was startled by the figure on the glass poster on the wall.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be his own reflection.

"Fuck!" he cursed to embolden himself.

The corridor seemed to be endless, and there was unknown darkness in the distance.

The doors of each dormitory are closed and there is no sound.

The lights in the corridor flickered on and off, and the cries were intermittent as if in hallucinations.

As he was walking, a small hand suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes.

He screamed in fright and found that it was a little boy.

The boy was looking at him blankly, his expression was very numb, and his face was reflected in gray-green by the light.

Lin Xiang patted his chest in fright: "Kid, what are you doing in the corridor without sleeping at night?"

"Brother, I'm scared." The boy's voice sounded very ethereal in the long corridor.

Lin Xiang knelt down and picked up the boy: "What are you afraid of? My brother is here."

"Brother, my parents don't want me anymore." The boy hugged Lin Xiang's neck with his hands, his body temperature was cold.

Lin Xiang didn't think much and patted him on the back: "Good boy, which room are you in? My brother will take you back to sleep."

"It's so painful in this world." This sentence didn't seem to come from the mouth of a child. The extremely sad tone infected Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang sniffed and thought of his childhood: "My brother's parents... don't want my brother anymore..."

"It hurts... it hurts so much," the boy repeated hypnotically.

too painful……

too painful……

No father...

No mother...

Lin Xiang's expression suddenly became crazy. He raised his head vigorously, the whites of his eyes were gone, and his eyes were filled with black mist.

He was immersed in endless pain and could not extricate himself.

"We are the same, we are the same." The boy's voice kept echoing.

Lin Xiang repeated mechanically: "Same, same."

"Together we leave this painful world."

"Leave...this world..."

------

Endless darkness.

Lin Xiang slept in endless darkness.

He returned to his infancy.

Clean white room, warm bed.

With a smile on his lips, he fell asleep in his mother's arms.

Just sleep happily like this.

Lin Xiang curled up and slowly floated in the air.

wrong……

I always feel like something is weird.

Lin Xiang frowned and opened his eyes slightly.

A dark energy swept around.

At that moment, I thought: Fuck you.

What came into view was thick black fog.

Lin Xiang came back to his senses and suddenly felt much more awake. He was obsessed with ghosts again. He couldn't help but cursed loudly: "I really want to kill you bunch of dogs with lightning."

Looking around, floating in the black mist are all the missing children from Fuaiyuan. They all have their eyes closed tightly, with smiles on their lips, as if they are asleep.

These children turned out to be hidden by imps.

We have to find a way to wake them up and get out of here.

Lin Xiang tried to slide, but found that his body was completely out of control and he only turned around twice.

Lin Xiang used his spiritual power and reluctantly made a shield for himself: "The golden light appears quickly and covers my body!"

The spells Pluto gave him were all streams of consciousness, not even a decent spell. He himself didn't know if the shield he made was useful.

He also once asked Hades why he didn't teach him some real spells.

Pluto looked at him with contempt: You can't remember any of them, don't mispronounce them and get yourself killed...

Mom sells batches...

He could only read books in the study room of the person in charge, and learn whatever he could.

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the root of Wanqi, cultivated extensively for hundreds of millions of kalpas, and proved my magical powers..." Lin Xiang kept thinking silently in his heart, but he just couldn't concentrate.

The shield's light was extremely weak, but it was somewhat useful.

He felt much clearer and the dark fog had receded a bit.

"Protect your body! Run away!" Lin Xiang bared his teeth and claws on the spot.

Two dark red lights suddenly appeared in the black fog, as terrifying as the eyes of a wild beast.

Damn it, there was too much movement and I was discovered.

"Why do you want to wake up! Are you going to betray me?" A resentful child's voice came from all directions.

Lin Xiang cleared his throat and said in a coaxing tone: "Can you please let my brother and these children out?"

"Death to the traitor!"

As soon as he finished his frightening words, Lin Xiang was surrounded by countless baby-shaped black mist.

The imp imprisoned him in the center like a storm.

Children's cries, laughter, and screams mixed together and rushed into his eardrums.

The shield on his body instantly shattered into dust under the attack of the kid.

The powerful force seemed to tear his body apart.

The huge pain caused Lin Xiang to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Xiang, whose mind was in confusion, suddenly remembered that he could transmit messages to Que Nu.

He was about to be swallowed up by countless imps.

He shouted: "Xiaoque... come and save me!"

There was no movement.

Lin Xiang's brain froze for a second.

Did the sound not pass through...

He was about to concentrate on sending it again, but he received a slow and frivolous response from the bird girl: "It's good for me if you die. The fate talisman is also resolved, and I am free."

Lin Xiang became more and more out of breath, his face turned pale and he said: "Stop joking..."

"I was serious."

After Que Girl said this, no matter how Lin Xiang called her, there was no reply.

Fuck!
  During the storm, Lin Xiang tried to make another barrier to protect his body, but now he couldn't even control the direction of his spiritual power.

His whole body was violently torn apart.

You won't die here, right?
  I haven’t lived enough yet…

Lin Xiang closed his heavy eyes.
