"A pair of spicy chicken wings, a red bean pie, and a glass of coke."
"Is that all?"
"A large order of fries, a New Orleans roasted chicken burger, and a glass of orange juice."
"Oh, just order."
"A mashed potato, a rock-roasted seaweed chicken and rice set, and vegetable soup!"
"That, can you really finish all of that?"
"Give me a family bucket too!"
"Hey!"
Xu Shenxing reached out and grabbed the loli ghost who was still randomly ordering at the counter like grabbing a little chick. "Don't order so much just because you're not paying for it!"
"Can't, can't I?"
The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, and her body was trembling. That pitiful look made it seem like she was about to cry at any moment.
Suddenly, the surrounding people's gazes of "Look, that baldy is abusing the child", "Should we take a picture and post it on the internet", "Oh my god, why is my picture blurred" and so on pierced Xu Shenxing's heart.
Seeing this, Song Yu could only laugh dryly and take out his phone to pay for the loli ghost. Then the three of them took their trays and hid in a corner of the restaurant.
As soon as they sat down, the loli ghost happily picked up the chicken drumstick and started eating it in big bites.
Although Mo Li could also eat a lot, but most of the time when she was eating, her behavior was quite gentle. Most of the people who were with her could only feel a gust of cold wind, and then the food on their plates disappeared. But the little girl still sat upright … In comparison, the loli ghost was more like a gluttonous little brat from a well-educated family.
"Speaking of which, it's just shopping and eating, is this really useful?" Xu Shenxing supported his chin and asked discontentedly.
In fact, Kaifeng Restaurant was not the first restaurant they had visited. They had already swept through most of the food stores on this commercial street.
And the body that the loli ghost was using now was made by Jiang Jin's Earth God through some kind of spell using clay.
According to the Earth God himself, this ritual, which imitated the process of Nuwa creating humans, could be made into a carrier that was most in line with the concept of 'human' in the eastern magic system. If it was only used for a day, it would be almost no different from the body of a real person.
After doing all this, the Earth God turned back into the original abandoned loli. After waving her hand and saying that she would leave everything to Xu Shenxing, she disappeared with a whoosh.
"Why don't you let me help you release your soul?"
"It must be useful!" Shivering, the loli ghost answered resolutely, "I feel that I'm 21 grams lighter … Hmm, maybe it's 35 grams!"
"You've already eaten more than 35 grams, right? Hey …"
Xu Shenxing complained with an embarrassed expression.
"In short, Ruoying, if you have any feelings, you must tell us, okay?" Song Yu also instructed with concern.
Although the loli ghost's body seemed to be formed by many ghosts glued together, because the name she first reported was Xiao Ruoying, Xu Shenxing and the others still called her by this name.
"Okay." The little girl hurriedly nodded.
After eliminating the small mountain of food, the three of them continued to wander the streets of Jiang Jin.
Interestingly, although the loli ghost had eaten a lot, her stomach was still flat, and they did not know where the food had gone …
"Ah, a movie! I want to watch it! "
After seeing the advertisement board erected by a cinema on the business street, the loli ghost began to shout excitedly.
"When you were alive … Ahem, have you never watched a movie before?" Song Yu asked curiously.
"I've watched a tunnel war!" the loli ghost answered happily.
'It's so old!!!'
Xu Shenxing and Song Yu cursed in their hearts.
"But at that time, there was a projectionist uncle who brought a machine to the grain field in the village, set up a white curtain, and played the movie. Every time that happened, we would carry chairs to the grain field to watch the movie. " The loli ghost showed a nostalgic expression. "Although we were very happy at that time, the projectionist uncle told us that the real movie was played on a bigger screen, and it looked very good!"
Xu Shenxing showed a look of understanding. He had heard his classmates in the countryside talk about similar things, but the scene they described was when he was young.
It seemed that Xiao Ruoying's death should have been quite a long time ago.
"So, we've long wanted to see a real movie in a big city!" The loli ghost did not notice Xu Shenxing's expression, and was only thinking about the regrets she had when she was alive.
Song Yu naturally agreed to this. She took the loli ghost, grabbed Xu Shenxing's arm, and went to buy tickets together.
The movie told the story of a bear cub's experience in a big city. Although there were not many thrilling places, it was heart-warming, and could be considered a good recent translation.
Clearly, it was the loli ghost's first time watching this kind of movie. Even after leaving the theater, she walked between Xu Shenxing and Song Yu, holding their hands, and excitedly told the movie's plot.
From an outsider's point of view, this scene looked like a young parent with a child.
But when walking on the road, Xu Shenxing suddenly felt his scalp go numb, and involuntarily looked across the road.
In the end, he saw Mo Li, who for some reason had a bucket of popcorn on his head, staring at him with a gaze that said 'I didn't expect you to be this kind of landlord'.
Xu Shenxing guiltily let go of the loli ghost's hand.
"Hey, isn't that Mo Li?"
Song Yu also noticed Xu Shenxing's gaze, and looked over to see Mo Li, who was obediently waiting for the green light at the zebra crossing.
Then the green light lit up, and Mo Li expressionlessly appeared in front of Xu Shenxing.
It was clearly a very strange scene, but the surrounding pedestrians acted like they didn't see anything, minding their own business or looking at their phones, turning a blind eye to the strange scene in front of them.
"Cough, there's a reason for this, Mo Li, let me explain … Simply put, this and that happened."
"Oh, this and that, this and that, so there's no way to explain it."
Mo Li crossed his arms and expressionlessly nodded, this action made the bucket of popcorn on his head wobble, making people worry that it would fall at any time.
"Wait a minute, how is this exchange established?!"
Unlike Song Yu, who vaguely knew that there was some kind of connection between Old Xu and Mo Li, the loli ghost who witnessed the whole process couldn't help but ask: "Why can it be understood just by saying 'this and that'?"
Mo Li calmly looked at the loli ghost for a moment, and then a slightly stunned expression appeared on his quiet little face.
"That's right, say it."
"Don't think it's strange after I pointed it out!"
"Do you want to eat popcorn?"
Mo Li took the bucket of popcorn off his head and handed it to the loli.
"Isn't the change in topic a little too much … Although I want to eat."
"Popcorn is a good civilization, say it."
And so the two lolis, who looked about the same age, shared the popcorn scene, making Xu Shenxing involuntarily squint his eyes.
"Lolicon?" Song Yu, who was observing Xu Shenxing from the side, suddenly said.
"No, I just feel that Mo Li is unexpectedly friendly to that little guy."
It wasn't that Xu Shenxing wanted to clear his name of being a lolicon, but he really felt that it was a bit strange.
Rather than saying that Mo Li was afraid of strangers, it was better to say that he had no interest in ordinary people. Naturally, he wouldn't have normal interactions, and his behavior in school was quite cold.
Only when he had interacted with people like Song Yu, Cui Yingying, and Qin Xingyan for a period of time and got along well with them, would Mo Li show his friendliness, which was the stupid loli side.
So when he saw that Mo Li actually took the initiative to talk to the other party, Xu Shenxing was shocked: Usually, when Mo Li saw things like vengeful spirits, he would probably cheer expressionlessly, and then swallow them in one gulp … According to him, the taste was very cool, better than ice cream …
Could it be that he wanted to try a new taste this time, so he planned to fatten the other party up before eating it?
No matter what, it was better to be friendly than to directly swallow the other party.
So Xu Shenxing's group continued to fool around with the loli ghost.
After walking around the business district, they went to a small amusement park that was built not long ago in the outskirts of Jiang Jin. They rode the roller coaster and ferris wheel, scared the staff to tears in the haunted house, and easily scored the highest score ever for entertainment like shooting.
But during the whole process, Mo Li's face was calm, unswervingly sandwiched between Xu Shenxing and the loli ghost. Because of this, even Song Yu could only smile bitterly.
When they left the amusement park, it was close to dusk. When the magnificent burning clouds disappeared into the western sky, the sky finally gradually darkened.
And they also went to the mountain behind Jiang Jin University that overlooked half of Jiang Jin.
Standing on the abandoned observation deck, looking at the sparkling lights at the foot of the mountain not far away, the loli ghost held the railing of the observation deck with both hands. Half of her body was leaning out, as if she wanted to imprint the scene in front of her into her mind.
"How do you feel?" Xu Shenxing opened his mouth to break the silence.
"I'm really happy today." The loli ghost jumped from the railing back to the observation deck.
"Ruo Ying …" Song Yu looked a bit reluctant.
Mo Li had the same expression as before, silently looking at the other party.
The loli ghost smiled, she turned her head, her gaze lingering on Xu Shenxing's group for a moment.
The moon that had just risen was like a huge white jade plate, becoming the background of the gentle girl.
A holy and mysterious aura filled the air, the girl was like an immortal in the moon, hazy and illusory, but it made people yearn for her.
Perhaps at this moment, people would believe that she was the real Moon God.
"Although we can't remember the past clearly … but we've all been treated excessively, we have an instinctive fear of the world, and are even afraid of starting a new life. This is probably why we can't reincarnate … but I didn't think that we would be treated so gently after death." The loli ghost bowed to Xu Shenxing's group, "Thank you for believing our words, for believing that our past lives weren't fake; thank you for helping us so much, allowing us to be freed from our long suffering; thank you for allowing us to regain our faith and longing for this world … this way, we should have the courage to go to the lost and unknown world of reincarnation …"
Tiny specks of light began to fly out from the loli ghost's body, like fireflies in the wilderness in summer. In this cold night, they were like stars dancing around the little girl, like a dream.
"If you don't mind us ghosts giving our blessings, we wish you a beautiful future … a future where you can be so happy every day."
"Ruo Ying …" Song Yu lowered her head, her expression somewhat sad.
They had only known each other for a day, but it seemed like she liked her.
Finally, with a cold wind in the winter night, those specks of light began to float, and finally disappeared into the winter night sky.
Following the disappearance of the light, the girl's body was like an empty shell that gradually lost its soul, and slowly sat down on the ground.
Xu Shenxing looked at Mo Li, and the latter nodded his head.
It seemed like he was right, after those wraiths washed away their resentment and stubbornness, they were like ordinary souls, gradually disappearing and going to the place they should go to …
"Mo Li, take back that body," Xu Shenxing ordered Mo Li (Mo Li stuck his tongue out at him). He sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then put his right hand on Song Yu's shoulder, "Let's go back."
"En." The sorrowful girl nodded, and then leaned into Xu Shenxing's embrace.
At that moment, the girl who seemed to have become an empty shell suddenly moved.
This gave Xu Shenxing a fright, and Song Yu also felt Xu Shenxing's movement, and raised her head blankly.
In the end, he saw the loli ghost stiffly shaking her head.
"Ruo Ying!" She shouted in surprise, and wanted to run towards her, but was stopped by Xu Shenxing.
"Who are you?" Xu Shenxing asked.
"I'm Xiao Ruo Ying." The ghost loli tried to stand up, but her movements looked like those of a paraplegic who had just regained a bit of feeling in her limbs. Saying that she was clumsy was already a compliment, "I don't know what's going on … but everyone has left, only I'm still here …"
Hearing her say this, Xu Shenxing looked at Mo Li, and the latter nodded vigorously like before.
At that moment, Xiao Ruo Ying finally stood up, but before she could take the first step, her whole body fell forward.
Luckily, she was caught by Mo Li.
"Thank you, Mo Li." She first thanked Mo Li, then looked at Xu Shenxing and said, "I think it's because my wish hasn't been fulfilled yet …"
"What wish?" Song Yu asked, "Shenxing and I will definitely help you think of a way."
"I'm sorry, that." The other party's face was bitter, "I can't remember …"
☆
Walking on the streets of Jiangjin, Xiao Ruoying tried her best to control her pace. However, from an outsider's point of view, her movements were like a robot's dance. Her movements were stiff and gave off a strange vibe …
Although Xu Shenxing said that he could carry her, the girl stubbornly insisted on walking by herself, and believed that as long as she walked more, she would be able to recover faster.
This made Xu Shenxing subconsciously want to say 'it's not like you're doing rehabilitation', but in the end, he held it in and didn't say it.
He guessed that the reason why she suddenly became like this was because the other wraiths had all disappeared, leaving Xiao Ruo Ying alone. Naturally, her own soul power had greatly weakened, and the body that she could control as easily as an extension of her arm had now become extremely difficult and heavy.
"Landlord, I smell roasted sweet potatoes."
At that moment, Mo Li suddenly pulled on Xu Shenxing's clothes, "If you want to eat, say it."
"Roasted sweet potatoes … That's great, I remember that my family used to grow sweet potatoes … I even … Eh? Who did I roast sweet potatoes with? " Xiao Ruoying said excitedly at first, but after saying a few words, she became confused because of her broken memory. She frowned and tried hard to recall that memory.
"Don't try so hard to think about such small things … Oh right, maybe you'll remember after eating the roasted sweet potatoes. Mo Li, where's the roasted sweet potato stall? "
Song Yu first comforted her, then turned her head to ask Mo Li.
"On the street twelve kilometers away." Mo Li answered without hesitation.
"Your nose is quite good!"
Song Yu, who had been infected by Xu Shenxing's tendency to complain, couldn't help but say with an embarrassed face.
"I'll go buy it with Mo Li."
Xu Shenxing measured Song Yu's physique, and felt that she might not be able to withstand a normal high-speed train, so he simply planned to bring along Mo Li for navigation and buy it, "There's a public bench here, you and Xiao Ruo Ying can sit for a while, we'll be right back."
"Okay, do you have money?"
"I still have money to buy sweet potatoes … Or rather, I've been treated by you for the whole day, at least let me treat you to something like this."
Xu Shenxing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Song Yu smiled gently at Xu Shenxing, "Come back soon."
"Of course."
Xu Shenxing put Mo Li on his waist, winked at Song Yu, and then disappeared.
Song Yu smiled helplessly at the place where Xu Shenxing disappeared, then helped Xiao Ruo Ying to the bench and wiped her sweat.
"Sister Song Yu, how did you meet that person?" Xiao Ruo Ying rested for a while and asked Song Yu curiously.
"Ah, this … It's a long story …" Song Yu couldn't help but think about where to start.
When she had just finished thinking about what to say and was about to say it, she found that the girl she was supporting was looking at the sidewalk in front of the bench with her eyes wide open.
Song Yu subconsciously looked in that direction and found a young man standing there.
She knew him.
"Officer Justice?" Song Yu called out softly.
If it was in the past, Xiao Zhengyi would probably laugh and ridicule her for calling him a chuunibyou.
But today, Xiao Zhengyi didn't pay attention to her, he just looked at the girl behind her with a wavering expression that she had never seen before.
"… Ruo Ying?" He whispered the girl's name with a trembling voice.
Then, Song Yu felt a considerable force coming from her hand.
The pale-faced Xiao Ruo Ying broke free from her hand and stumbled into the back alley.
"Wait, Ruo Ying!"
Song Yu couldn't stop the girl in time. She hurriedly turned around and looked at the police officer who was trembling slightly, as if he had lost all his energy. Seeing that she couldn't count on him, she couldn't help but stomp her feet and chase after Xiao Ruo Ying.
Seeing the other person's figure disappear into the alley, Xiao Zhengyi painfully knelt on the ground. When he saw the other person running away without hesitation when she saw him, the regret and grief that he thought he would never experience again hit his heart.
"Am I dreaming?" His face had lost all color, and his expression was twisted from great pain. His lips were bleeding because he had bitten them. "As expected, she still hates me …"
