Chapter 8 A Human by Day and a Ghost by Night

evening,

Taixu Mountain,

Smoke is seen coming from the mountains, and the setting sun is glimpsed in the bamboos.

"Mei Gui, I asked Lin to make some snacks, come and try them."

"Thank you...Your Majesty Ji Lin, um...do you want to ride me?"

"No, no, you and I are friends, how could I think..."

"Okay."

"..."

"Your Majesty Ji Lin, do you want to sit on it? I can run very fast. I can run down the mountain and back before the sun sets."

"...No need, we are friends."

"Well, your Majesty, don't regret it."

"...I regret it, can you..."

"It's too late. I won't let you ride. Hehe, you don't cherish the opportunity I gave you. Don't lose sleep tonight."

"Give me some snacks."

"No! If you put it in my mouth, I'll give it to you!"

…

By the time Wutong finished repairing the scarecrow, it was almost noon, and it finally appeared in the sky again at some unknown time.

Wutong patted the scarecrow's "butt" and let it go away on its own.

Looking at the scarecrow that was motionless but disappearing into the distance little by little, Sakura also realized at this time that it had no shadow.

Thinking of this, Sakura lowered her head and looked at her feet... They were so big, she couldn't see her toes...

no! Her shadow looks very shallow and blurry, perhaps due to the cloudy sky. Sakura's shadow is about the same darkness as the surrounding environment, so it is not that clear. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to notice the shadow.

Sakura looked at Mebius again. Her shadow was very clear, like ink, as black as ever. Snake would mix something into his shadow, so the black spots were normal.

As for Wutong's shadow...at first glance, it looks normal, almost the same depth as Sakura's shadow.

But she always felt awkward. She felt that the reason why her husband's shadow seemed normal was because... he was pretending?

Since coming to this world, Sakura's spirit has always been tense. I don't know if she is used to being suspicious, but Sakura always feels that Wutong's shadow was not like this a second ago.

If a person is overly neurotic, even if there is no problem with some things, he will make random suspicions, feel that there is a problem, and scare himself.

It's getting late.

Following a winding path, the three of them passed through a dark forest. There were no insects or birds in the gloomy forest.

At this time, Sakura suddenly glanced at the shadow of Wutong... It was still the same, it still looked normal.

"Are you really worrying too much?" Sakura was full of doubts.

There are more than a dozen young white-haired lumberjacks at the edge of the forest. Not far behind them, there are more than a dozen coffins corresponding to the number. Those coffins are arranged very neatly, as if they are their homes.

Sakura was not surprised by this. She hadn't seen anything before? Really, don’t people in this world live in coffins? What's this? Very normal.

Sakura even thought she had found a reason for people to live in coffins.

What a nice coffin! Installed with four small wheels, it is convenient, easy to clean, and can be buried directly after death.

The main thing is that they don't have to work hard and save money all their lives just to buy a shabby house, which they may not be able to afford.

Let's not talk about whether the house is worth such a high value. Even if it is really worth it, won't he just go back to the coffin after he dies?

It seems that the people in this world are very wise and they have not allowed some people to become black-hearted dogs.

Wutong chatted with several lumberjacks for a while and encouraged them to work hard. The clock unknowingly moved counterclockwise to the 8 o'clock position. Suddenly, the air was filled with the faint smell of Honkai energy.

More than a dozen workers who were cutting wood threw away the "saws" in their hands, quickly ran back to their "homes" and immediately closed the lid.

They are just like the workers who rush to clock in after get off work and rush to catch the last bus. They don’t want to work for a moment longer, otherwise they may not be able to get home.

Wutong also found a flat open space far away from them and set up a tent similar to a "yurt".

The facilities in the tent are very simple, with only a layer of carpet, a large bed and a clothes rack.

"Didn't you say it's best not to go out at night?" Sakura took off her shoes and white socks on the carpet, walked to the bed with bare feet, sat on the bed, and rubbed her calves.

Wutong took out a desk lamp and hung it on the hanger: "We haven't gone out either! Isn't this in the tent?"

"But this is the wild."

"That's in the tent too!"

"..."

"What happened outside?" Mebius floated onto the bed with his shoes on.

"Didn't you already guess it?" Wutong said.

"Who told you to wear shoes to bed?!"

Sakura used a "sneak attack" to grab Snake's calf, and spanked her little butt twice, very hard and loudly.

Mebius kicked Sakura hard in the face, but Sakura dodged it.

Sakura is very happy.

"The soles of other people's shoes are cleaner than your face, why can't you wear shoes to bed?" Snake said displeased.

"Not even clean!"

"Okay, okay." Mebius took off his shoes and threw them under the bed, then stretched out his white feet in front of Sakura, "What? Are you so eager to lick someone's feet?"

"Snapped!"

Sakura patted Mebius's feet aside: "Get out! You loser."

"Haha~ You are not a serious fox, so you have the nerve to tell me?"

"As long as I'm better than you."

"Haha~ Are you tougher than me?"

"I'm also physically stronger than you."

"..." Mebius was silent for a moment and snorted softly, "Huh! I just ate too much, what's there to be proud of? You can wait for later."

Mebius sat on the bed in a "duck sitting" position, exposed his shoulders, and said coquettishly: "Dad Wutong~ Didn't you say that Eden is not dead? When can we see her?"

"You can see me when you come to my house."

"Then when can I walk to your house?"

"About a year."

"Why is Eden at your house?" Sakura asked.

Her focus was always on whether Wutong would offend other girls.

"Because the place where she sleeps is at my house."

"Is Eden sleeping?" Snake raised an eyebrow.

"Well, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and he was sealed by me."

Wutong took out a wooden bathtub and poured hot water into the bathtub: "If calculated according to the time of this world, she has probably been asleep for nearly 490,000 years."

"Who hurt her?" Mebius was worried.

Snake didn't ask whether the injury was serious or not. Since Wutong chose to seal it, it must be an injury that he couldn't save.

"In the daytime, you can see the murderer if you look up. Don't worry, you should be able to cure her."

The water in the bathtub was almost empty, Wutong purified it again, and then asked: "Which one of you will wash first? Or together?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll wash first! If you wash quickly, you'll be able to give Ser Fox a basin of original bath water right away."

After finishing speaking, Mebius sat on his handbag, floated past the bathtub, opened the door and slipped away.

Wutong remained indifferent.

"Why don't you go catch her back?" Sakura asked in surprise.

"It's easy to catch a person, but it's hard to catch a heart. If you want to see it, just go and see it. It's okay. Anyway, it's not me who feels uncomfortable."

"Then I will..."

"Please don't go. It's so lonely for me to be alone. Why don't we take this opportunity to have a couple's bath?"

"..."

outside the tent,

Mebius raised her head and looked at the blood moon, and she found that it was gone again.

There was a deathly silence all around, which made people shudder, and a faint mist appeared in the air.

The fog was not yet thick at this time.

Mebius's goal was clear. With a cold and curious smile on her face, she rushed directly to the dozen coffins and picked one at random.

The smile on her face widened as she opened the casket.

"Haha~ I see, I guessed it right! Huh? Is everyone in this world like this? In the future...will I see different people?!"

in the coffin,

The original white-haired young man had turned into pink hair. Veins popped out all over his body, and his face was ferocious. His fierce red eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, making his eyes look even brighter red.

This pink-haired man had already lost his mind. His body was exuding strong Honkai energy and he had completely transformed into a dead soldier.

No! It may be far more painful than turning into a dead soldier. At this moment, Fenmao is like a crazy dog. Perhaps "Hengkai Transformation" is more appropriate.

When he saw Mebius, he let out a low roar, his bones creaked, and a terrifying murderous aura emanated from his whole body.

However, he did not attack Mebius because he was restrained by himself and had a black wooden gag in his mouth, so that the sound he made was not loud.

Everyone in this world has a good sense of self-management.

It's pitiful to suffer, but pity is no excuse for hurting others.

Mebius, who was smiling, looked at his cheek that looked almost the same as Wutong, and suddenly felt a little uninterested, and the smile on his face also faded a lot.

"The pain Wutong and Eden have endured must be far greater than that of everyone in this world." Mebius thought to himself.

"Bang!"

Snake closed the coffin board, and the unpleasant roar disappeared.

This black wood is very good at soundproofing.
