My future diary cannot be the last one

"Lin Xiao."

"Brother Xun?" As soon as Xun Xi finished speaking, he saw the supernatural poker card was automatically opened, and Lin Xiao's figure jumped out from the card and fell into reality.

"Sure enough!"

Seeing this scene, the consumptive old man in the sewing shop's eyes suddenly shone, and he almost subconsciously took a few steps forward. As they walked, a dark wind suddenly rose from the ground and blew in the direction of Lin Xiao. But before the sinister wind approached, Xun Xi's eyes automatically lit up with the fire of memory.

"Whoosh!"

The dark wind stopped instantly, and Xun Xi was also a little surprised, because under normal circumstances, the fire of memory would not activate uncontrollably like this.

"Hey~!" Although he was not blown by the cold wind, Lin Xiao was still startled.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xun Xi comforted Lin Xiao who hid behind him at lightning speed, while thinking secretly in her heart:

It can stimulate the fire of memory and allow it to actively revive.

Most likely--

"A mind-invading supernatural being?"

".Not really." The consumptive old man also regained his composure at this moment. He took a few steps back and shook his head: "It's just a small trick used when sewing corpses. Let's go back to the gambling game. We are going to What you bet is that you can sew up corpses, but I bet you can’t sew up a corpse.”

"Sewing corpses?"

Xun Xi frowned: "I have never learned any similar skills, or is there something weird about the corpse you want me to sew?"

"That body was given to me by Xu Junfang."

"Um!?"

As soon as these words came out, Xun Xi suddenly became interested. The consumptive old man continued: "Xu Junfang came to me to bet, and ended up losing the corpse to me. But in hindsight, I guess he lost on purpose, just to use me to get rid of the murderous corpse. The entanglement of corpses.”

A vicious corpse that even wandering Taoist priests are eager to get rid of?

Xun Xi became even more interested: "Tell me in detail, what kind of corpse is that? Since you are a cadaver sewer, you haven't thought about sewing it for such a long time?"

"Of course I have."

The old man with tuberculosis nodded: "In fact, I have almost sewn it up, only the last stitch is left. But I dare not move the last stitch."

"Why?"

". It's a rule handed down from my profession." As if to get Xun Xi to accept the bet, the consumptive old man could be said to answer all questions: "It is disrespectful to sew up the corpse. After all, the dead have many resentments, and resentments have many supernatural beings. , so we must try to avoid the resentment of the deceased."

“There is a long lineage of cobblers.”

"Different schools have different ways to avoid resentment. Some like to burn three sticks of incense, and some like to use yellow paper to calm the soul. They are all different."

"And the method of my lineage is called dreaming."

"Sewing the corpse, entering the dream of the deceased, experiencing the grievances and hardships of the deceased, and empathizing with the deceased, this way you can avoid the resentment of the deceased. The length of time you spend in the dream is the length of time it takes to stitch the corpse. The most critical thing is to stitch the corpse The final shot.”

Xun Xi raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "It's quite evil."

But having said that, the principle is actually relatively easy to understand. To put it bluntly, it is to use some supernatural means to invade the consciousness of supernatural beings.

Once it enters consciousness, it does not exist in reality.

In this way, unless it is a supernatural being who also has the ability to invade consciousness, no one can hurt the consumptive old man, because he does not exist.

However, compared to Nightmare City, which has an overbearing and direct invasion method, the consumptive old man's invasion method obviously has many rules and very large restrictions. Of course, Xun Xi didn't mean to underestimate the other party. It was absolutely impossible for him to survive in this ghost market until now, only knowing the art of sewing corpses.

After all, this is a cadaver shop.

Maybe when business in the store is slow, this old man who seems to be polite and easy to talk to will go out and find some business for himself.

After all, living people are hard to find.

Isn't it hard to find the body?

After pondering for a moment, Xun Xi shook his head: "I can't accept this bet."

"Why!?"

The consumptive old man immediately took a step forward.

"Because the bet you want is Lin Xiao." Xun Xi raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and said firmly: "Although Lin Xiao and I are not related, since the day I rescued him, I have made him Treat him like a biological brother, he is my dearest relative and friend, a brother and sister."

"Brother Xun!!!" Lin Xiao was moved.

".You have to pay more!"

"Brother Xun???" Lin Xiao didn't dare to move.

On the other side, the consumptive old man who was sewing the corpse took out a deep breath. Xun Xi's repeated movements were too much for his old man's heart.

"Okay, then add more money."

"What do you want?"

"Didn't I just say it?" The fire of memory in Xun Xi's eyes became more intense: "Lin Xiao has a life. If you want to bet on Lin Xiao with me, then you have to bet with your life. If I lose, Lin Xiao will naturally give up. You. I won. From now on, your life is mine."

"It's my life." The old man with tuberculosis emphasized.

However, before he finished speaking, the paper man with a smiling face standing next to him said first, "Okay, just bet on both of our lives."

"Junlan." The old man with tuberculosis looked excited.

"Fuyou." The paper man looked at him affectionately.

Medicine seller: "!?!?"

"Okay." Of course Xun Xi would not refuse the good thing of buying one and earning one. So the two parties hit it off, and a world in which only the medicine seller was injured was achieved.

Immediately afterwards, Xun Xi comforted Lin Xiao a few more words.

"Don't worry, when has your brother Xun ever lost?"

"And have you forgotten? I was a liar at the beginning. I reminded you that the reason why you got into that ambulance was probably the work of the mastermind behind the scenes. It's a pity that Brother Xun and I didn't have the vision to notice it at the beginning. The truth, but now I have found the real murderer!"

(See Chapter 19 for details)

When Xun Xi boarded the supernatural ambulance, she blamed the Earth Cult for Lin Xiao's death and the ambulance in order to collect both people and vehicles.

But now that I think about it.

At that time, he really put a big blame on the Earth Sect inexplicably. After all, the leaders of the Earth Religion are all the deans of the Boundless Love Lunatic Asylum.

But it's different now.

"Now I have confirmed that the person who harmed you is the wandering Taoist priest who also harmed Si Nian! So don't you want to seek revenge from him? You must know that he is the one who separated you from your relatives and even went home to take a look. It’s an extravagant hope. Since you call me Brother Xun, I can’t ignore it!”

"Well."

Lin Xiao was stunned by what Xun Xi said. After listening to it, he thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Thank you, Brother Xun?"

"Hey, you're welcome." Xun Xi patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.

It’s still so easy to fool. Ah, no, that should be said———

"The boy is teachable!"

Xun Xi persuaded Lin Xiao, and suddenly, the sound of bells came again in the streets of the ghost market. Then the old man's voice and the young man's voice that he heard before "the gambling game begins" alternately sounded again, but this time, what the young voice said had other changes.

"It's interesting. Come and join the bet without looking at the corpse."

"Have my style."

"In that case."

After the old man finished speaking, a young and energetic voice sounded beside Xun Xi, with excitement in his tone: "I bet you lose!"
