Tang Yuanyuan often feels that some of the speeches made by No. 4 are really subtle, and sometimes she wonders if the other person is a domineering CEO who came out of a vulgar romance novel.

Of course, Tang Yuanyuan has always been a person who is very self-aware and does not make random associations. He knows in his heart that the other party's words are just that he still regards himself as his belongings... and it is a real object.

But even though she was deeply unhappy about this, she was too lazy to care about it at this time, so she could only sigh sadly about how she met such an unsympathetic transaction partner, while rubbing herself against the pain.

Buttocks, and then stood up on his own.

It wasn't until she stood up that she had enough energy to regain her composure, and her eyes fell on the ghost figure that Hand No. 4 was holding, and she could clearly see the slender ghost figure with a bluish-white face that resembled a humanoid.

The ghost had a face that looked like a boy's, and was so thin that he looked like he was about to lose his soul. He struggled hard in the hands of No. 4, and seemed to want to use his hands to move away the hand of No. 4 that was holding his neck.

It looks like, but it’s a pity that several attempts have failed.

Tang Yuanyuan frowned as he looked at the culprit who caused him to fall to the ground. He hesitated to speak when he saw this one-sided torture with a disparity in power.

Why do you have to provoke this kind of person who seems to be difficult to deal with? Isn't it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

After all, you look so weak that you seem to be about to dissipate... Tang Yuanyuan complained in his heart, completely unaware that the farce in front of him was related to him.

It was none of her business until the lanky ghost with a boy-like figure spoke with a slightly twisted expression and intermittent words of begging for mercy.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know she was your food... I just followed my instinct and felt the powerful spiritual power in her body... I'm sorry... I haven't replenished my spiritual power for too long... I didn't control my nature...

"

The ghost figure whose originally pale complexion became even paler now, suddenly started coughing violently mid-sentence:

"I...I just fled here...The area where we live has lost its spiritual energy...Many dead souls and ghosts are almost dying because of the loss of their souls...I finally left there...but

I also spent a lot of spiritual energy... I just happened to encounter you here and lost your mind..."

"I just want to steal some spiritual power from this girl to maintain her soul... I don't mean to monopolize or harm her... Her aura is very special..."

"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry..."

It turns out that he really came for me... Tang Yuanyuan felt a little unbelievable.

Listening to the lanky ghost's intermittent words, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but have some strange associations in her mind, because the state of the ghosts and the appearance of the underworld in front of her were completely different from some of her past imaginations.

What does it mean to "escape"? What is the nature of needing to absorb spiritual energy to maintain the soul? Even in the underworld, do those who are obviously ghosts and the dead need to absorb something regularly to maintain their existence?

And why does he say that his breath is so special? With the cover of the special existence of No. 4, her identity as a living person should not be so easy to detect, so what kind of specialness does he say?

Questions like these popped up in Tang Yuanyuan's mind one after another, and she couldn't help but look at the ghost a few more times.

Although I don't know how true or false the words spoken by the ghost in front of me are, these words did successfully arouse Tang Yuanyuan's thinking and interest.

But just when she was thinking about what to ask, No. 4, who was holding the ghost figure, spoke.

"I don't care about your story. Let's not talk about whether she is my food. You covet my things because you are tired of living. The soul has dissipated to the point where even the spiritual consciousness is blurred and the dead soul cannot live for long. I can give you directly.

happy."

As he spoke, there was a chill in his eyes, and he tightened his hand again, and the blue flames hanging behind him began to beat violently as if he were excited.

"No, don't... I just want to live... I haven't made any big mistakes... Please..."

"You're just a dead soul, so why do you want to live?"

Number 4 sneered, frowning slightly as he prepared to exert force again.

Tang Yuanyuan was slightly startled when he saw this scene, struggled in his heart for a moment, and finally made a choice out of instinct.

"Let him go." Tang Yuanyuan raised his hand and put it on No. 4's arm, shaking his head as if to stop him, "Let him go. Didn't he succeed too?"

Tang Yuanyuan's unexpected move succeeded in making the other party hesitate, and he stopped his next action, which was to burn the ghost in front of him to nothing.

But he quickly came to his senses, turned around to see Tang Yuanyuan who was trying to stop him, raised his lips and smiled sarcastically.

"Why? Tang Yuanyuan? Who do you think is the debtor now? Do you think I have any reason to listen to you?"

Tang Yuanyuan was not surprised by No. 4's reaction, so he took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows, completely erasing the last bit of luck in his heart.

Although she knew very well in her heart that No. 4 was protecting her now because he had not yet achieved the price, but for some unknown reason she still had a little desire in her heart that he was not protecting her just because "the price had not been achieved".

After all, she could see the strange emotions he occasionally showed when facing her and the concern he showed in some subtle situations.

But now she is very clear that the relationship between them is gambling and trading with chips.

But since it is gambling and trading, there is no situation where one party can always use chips to suppress the other party.

Tang Yuanyuan lowered his eyes and flashed slightly, and began to quickly think about the other party's previous actions and decisions in his mind, trying to find a way to hold the initiative in his own hands.

Inadvertently, she lowered her head and caught a glimpse of the red rope on her hand. The moment she saw the red rope with special meaning, a bold guess suddenly took shape in her mind.

"etc."

She suddenly let go and took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and No. 4. She stretched out her hand and pulled the red rope on her wrist, and found that it could be easily taken apart as expected.

Then she raised her eyes again, and after making sure that she could turn around and run away immediately to distance herself from No. 4, she thought about him and said:

"If you don't let him go, I will just break the rope and run away. With my physique, even if you find me, you will still have to deal with a large group of evil ghosts? If I choose to let out some blood... Since there are those in the underworld

There are so many ghosts and undead, so they must be very interested in me, right?"

"Since your purpose is to need me to open the book of life and death... then at least my consciousness and body must be intact, right? If I die... or if something serious happens to my body, you will have to go to the troublesome place again.

Are you looking for someone like me? What about...let him go?"

There was a look of surprise in No. 4's eyes, and he said, "Are you threatening me?"

Tang Yuanyuan felt chilled when she heard the other party's words, and she suddenly regretted her impulse. But she had to shoot when the arrow was on the string, so she could only bite the bullet and answer: "Yes."

The air was silent for a moment, and then Tang Yuanyuan heard the dull sound of the guy caught in No. 4's hand falling to the ground.

"The threat is established." He clapped his hands, his face unexpectedly showing no dissatisfaction, "I didn't expect you to be bold enough to risk your own life. Even if you win, I don't want to cause more trouble to myself."

This is actually just gambling... Tang Yuanyuan said softly in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

"...please praise me." She said so and let go of the hand holding the red rope, but still kept a distance from him. She looked at No. 4 in silence for a while, and then her eyes fell on the quilt.

On the red string called Yuan, he suddenly asked again:

"We'll have nothing to do with each other after I pay the price, right?"

Obviously her suspicions were completely confirmed, but she felt nothing was getting better. On the contrary, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, no matter how strong your spiritual power is, I would not attack an old acquaintance, right? I am still particular about this kind of kindness."

He responded so firmly that Tang Yuanyuan could not detect any emotion in his words.

"It is indeed inconvenient for me to offend Heaven for some reasons, so I can only ask you to do this. Although you have to pay off the price even if you die, you will not be of much use to me, so

... Until the price is paid, live well for me, I will listen to you and protect you, do you understand?"

He stared into her eyes and continued. Although what was before him was the cold reality, Tang Yuanyuan was slightly relieved by this answer.

At present, it seems that No. 4 is trustworthy, so as long as she fulfills his instructions, she will no longer have to worry about her life. This is indeed the best outcome under the current circumstances.

Although she doesn't know why such an ending always makes her a little unhappy...

Thinking of this, Tang Yuanyuan shook his head slightly, putting aside some of the unpleasant emotions in his heart, and forced himself to turn his attention to the ghost figure that fell to the ground.

The ghost with the appearance of a young man seemed to be really dying. Even in the face of such a hard-earned opportunity, he did not have the strength to escape immediately. The already somewhat translucent body was crawling on the ground with a strange expression.

Rhythm fluctuates and gasps.

Tang Yuanyuan looked at the young ghost and took a deep breath, then looked at No. 4 and then at him who fell to the ground, and then stepped closer to the dying soul.

It wasn't until she stopped beside the young man and made sure that No. 4 was keeping a distance and not going back on her word that she squatted down and asked the young man with lowered eyes:

"Is there any way I can provide you with some spiritual power?"

As soon as she said this, both No. 4 and the boy had a look of surprise on their faces, as if they found her behavior a bit strange.

"Tang Yuanyuan, you..."

Number 4 was the first to react and wanted to stop her, but Tang Yuanyuan interrupted her words before she was halfway through her words. Her eyes were still on the young man and she continued:

"This is a deal. I will give you some spiritual power to maintain your remaining soul and ensure that you can survive. But accordingly, you have to answer a few questions from me. What do you think?"

The young man listened to Tang Yuanyuan's words and looked at her face in a daze. It seemed that he could not digest the information she gave for a while. It was not until several seconds later that he suddenly came back to his senses and nodded frequently:

"I...I am willing! All it takes is a little spiritual power...No matter what you ask, I will answer you truthfully!"

"As long as you are willing, it is actually very simple to obtain spiritual power, as long as you reach out your hand..."

Tang Yuanyuan nodded when he heard this, then without hesitation stretched out his hand and stopped in front of the young man.

The weak young ghost showed a grateful look on his face, and he quickly stretched out his hand and approached her palm. The young man's hand finally stopped not far from her hand, as if he was afraid of not touching anything completely.

she.

But it seemed that this was enough. After a brief pause, Tang Yuanyuan quickly felt a very subtle flow of breath from his fingertips. This feeling was somewhat similar to the last time No. 4 used her spiritual power to purify her soul.

.

It seems that I understand a little bit what spiritual power is...

Tang Yuanyuan compared the feelings in his heart while thinking about how to use such power.

This is also one of the reasons why she is willing to give away part of her spiritual power. In such a completely unfamiliar environment, there will be an unexpected accident at any time. She must try as much as possible to increase the bargaining chips she can use, otherwise if she encounters

If something unexpected happens, she will be left as a lamb to be slaughtered.

However, it seems that it is not easy to master the use of spiritual power easily. She had just fumbled a little bit in this kind of spiritual power transmission, and the spiritual power transmission had been interrupted.

Then the ghost, whose appearance was no longer so transparent, moved his body from the ground, and finally changed his posture and knelt in front of Tang Yuanyuan, and said with a choked voice:

"Thank you... really thank you for saving me... I will always remember your kindness..."

"No matter what you want to ask, just ask, as long as I know something, I will tell you!"

Tang Yuanyuan was startled by such a great gift in front of him, and quickly stopped and said: "Um... why don't you raise your head first? You don't have to be so reserved...?"

The young man raised his head when he heard the sound, but he still knelt in front of her as if he was waiting for her response. There was still a bit of excitement on his haggard face, and he looked at her and nodded vigorously.

Tang Yuanyuan was really not used to such treatment, but she also knew that No. 4's patience would not advance her too much to waste time, so she didn't say anything more, but coughed twice and spoke seriously.
