Animal Control Bureau: I was captured as a baby dragon

Xia Dongqing's face froze.

Sure enough, this person is a ghost!

Only the moon is red in the eyes of ghosts!

Xia Dongqing became more cautious, silently taking a few steps away, and then held her cell phone tightly so that she could make calls at any time.

Chapter 257 Strange Man

Seeing Xia Dongqing's condition, the man also noticed something was wrong. He asked with some confusion: "You seem to be afraid of me? I won't hurt you, don't worry."

Xia Dongqing said: "Then it would be better for us to stay away from each other. Just tell me directly, why did you come to this convenience store?"

Seeing that Xia Dongqing was still so afraid of him, the man's tone became gentler and gentler, because Xia Dongqing was the first person he could see and the first person who saw him. He hoped to learn a lot from Xia Dongqing. .

"Can you listen to me? This is a long, long story."

The man said, the expectation in his eyes didn't seem fake at all.

Xia Dongqing thought for a while.

Thinking about facing ghosts, he is still the weak one. After all, he is easily possessed by ghosts and has no power to protect himself.

Even if he has Chi You in his body, who knows if Chi You will come out?

You still have to listen to him, otherwise you will become angry and you will be the one who gets into trouble.

Not worth it, not worth it.

Xia Dongqing nodded lightly and said, "Then go ahead and keep your story short. After all, there are customers in the convenience store."

The man was very happy, he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time.

The man looked at a liftable chair next to him, so he walked over and moved 043 over. He sat opposite Xia Dongqing and said, "I was originally a painter. I mainly painted flowers. I think the flowers growing in nature are very beautiful." Beautiful, much prettier than the flowers that humans keep at home. So after I became financially free, I said goodbye to my wife and went to the wild to paint flowers."

"There are all kinds of flowers in nature, and they are really beautiful. But no matter how beautiful they are, there will be a day when they are all gone. I don't know how long I have been looking for them outside. Time has no concept for me."

Xia Dongqing took a look at the man's gray hair and thought that this man must be in his 50s.

The man said: "There are many flowers that can't be seen by me now, so I started to enter the virgin forest and started to climb the steep mountains, just to see a flower that can really capture the soul. I have been looking for this flower for a long time , until that day.”

"When I was climbing a mountain, I saw a big red flower on the cliff. It looked so beautiful. It was surrounded by stones, but it grew in the cracks of the stones, and it bloomed with a dazzling red color. My first My eyes were drawn to him, and I climbed to the top of the cliff, but I was still far away from it.”

"So I took a closer look, and there was a protruding place next to the flower, which allowed me to observe it carefully and draw it."

"Just when I climbed down, it started to rain, but I wasn't afraid because I'm used to wandering outside and often encounter bad weather."

"Until I was about to climb to the platform, suddenly, my foot slipped and I fell off the cliff."

hear here.

Xia Dongqing probably understood that this man probably died at that time.

But the man continued: "When I woke up, it was already dark. There was no moon in the sky, only stars. In such an environment, I actually saw the flower on the cliff, which was still so dazzling."

"So this time, I ignored the physical pain and climbed up the cliff again, then came to the platform and really painted the appearance of the flower."

"That flower is so beautiful. Even one of my paintings cannot show its charm."

Xia Dongqing also became curious. What kind of flower could make this man so obsessed with it?

"Can you show me that flower?"

Xia Dongqing asked.

The man smiled and said, "Of course, it's in my backpack. I'll take it out for you."

After saying that, the man took off his backpack and took out a rolled-up painting.

After Xia Dongqing took it, she slowly opened it and was instantly attracted to the flower.

This flower is really beautiful and looks different from all the flowers Xia Dongqing has seen.

Its flowers are divided into many petals, just like chrysanthemums, but not as many.

The color is quite dazzling, like blood or ruby.

What's even more strange is that this flower only has flowers and no leaves.

Xia Dongqing asked strangely: "Why does this flower only have flowers? Did you not draw it?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, she originally looked like this."

Xia Dongqing was also confused.

Are there actually flowers in the world that have no leaves but flowers?

It's really weird.

But if you take a closer look, this flower is really beautiful, really beautiful...

look at.

Xia Dongqing was immersed in this flower and couldn't raise her head at all.

The man was a little strange when he saw this, and was about to ask, what on earth is going on?

Followed by.

A woman in a leopard print skirt walked in quickly, followed by a man in a black leather jacket.

After the woman came in, she immediately came to Xia Dongqing and took the painting away.

Xia Dongqing woke up instantly.

"Wang Xiaoya? Officer Zhao, why are you here?"

Xia Dongqing asked strangely.

Wang Xiaoya said: "If we don't come again, your soul will be sucked away by this painting!"

Xia Dongqing was shocked and asked: "Is there a mystery hidden in this painting? Or is something wrong?"

Zhao Li said from the side: "The tweed on this painting is called Manzhu Shahua, which is also the flower of the other side. This kind of flower grows beside the Santu River and can attract souls."

Xia Dongqing quickly took a few steps away from the painting and said, "Then how come this kind of flower grows in the world? Isn't this too strange?"

Wang Xiaoya said: "There is nothing surprising. In addition to growing in the underworld, Manzhu Shahua will also grow in places with heavy resentment and negative energy in the world."

hear here.

The man's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard.

He had been silent and asked in shock: "Who are you? Why do you know so many things?"

Zhao Li looked at the man and said: "Of course we are the soul ferryers! As for you, you are already dead!"

The man was shocked and couldn't believe this fact: "How is it possible? I am obviously still alive, how could I be dead!"

"Not only are you dead, but because your soul has stayed in the human world for too long, three souls and seven souls have been lost, one soul and three souls. That's why you can't see the people in the city, you can only see us."

Wang Xiaoya said.

"No, no, no, you must have lied to me!"

The man still refused to believe it, but he remembered a memory that he had forgotten.

Chapter 258 Ghost

That was three years ago.

When he saw this flower on the cliff, it was not because of how beautiful the flower was, but because this flower attracted his soul, so he wanted to climb up the cliff to paint this flower regardless of the danger. flower.

He died just when he accidentally fell off the cliff.

It's just that he didn't react and directly ignored this memory.

As for a ghost without resentment, if he walks in the human world for a long time, he will gradually lose his three souls and seven souls. At first, humans will not be able to see him, but he will be able to see humans.

But over time, as the three souls and seven souls are lost, humans will no longer be seen.

Only people in the underworld can see him.

But if all three souls and seven souls are lost, and only one soul or soul is left, even the people in the underworld will not be able to see him again.

He will completely become a ghost in the world, and will even lose all his memories and exist in this world without any purpose.

After coming back to his senses, the man's eyes had returned to their original appearance, and he murmured: "It turns out I'm dead, it turns out I'm already dead!"

Wang Xiaoya nodded and said without hesitation: "Yes, you are already dead. You can see the 440 No. [-] convenience store just because this is the transit station for the underworld."

The man was silent, unable to say another word.

The atmosphere in the convenience store gradually became dull.

About an hour later.

After Wang Xiaoya and Zhao Li left due to some matters, the man walked up to Xia Dongqing and spoke again: "I'm sorry, I disturbed you."

Xia Dongqing shook his head. Ever since he knew that the man did not have a complete soul, he knew that he was safe.

"It's okay. Anyway, there's not much business in the convenience store today. By the way, you haven't finished telling your story yet? Continue?"

Xia Dongqing said.

The man raised his head, but he didn't expect that Xia Dongqing would still be willing to listen to him, so he continued: "After I finished painting the flower, I was ready to go home. Because I have been outside for too long, I should go back and take a look at mine. wife."

"Just as soon as I got home, I thought I could have a good hug with my wife, but I found that the house was empty. Although there were fresh fruits and vegetables in the kitchen, there were even my wife's shoes next to the shoe cabinet, and there were even clothes in the room. There are also my wife’s earrings on the table.”

"But... I can't see my wife. I was confused at first, but now I understand. It turns out it's because I'm a ghost."

The man showed a wry smile, "Finally, I left home, hoping to find a human being. Just when I was passing by the intersection, I saw you in this convenience store."

"Now that I've explained everything, it's time for me to leave."

After speaking.

The man waved to Xia Dongqing, picked up the painting that Wang Xiaoya had placed on the table before leaving, put it into his backpack, and then turned to leave.

I don't know why, but after knowing the man's story, Xia Dongqing felt very sorry for the man.

Perhaps it was because when he was conscious, he knew that he was an orphan. There were so many people in the world, but none of them were his relatives.

This feeling is true for a man walking in a city full of people, but he can't see anyone's loneliness.
