This Damned Thirst for Survival-Chapter 224: Living In The World Of Men
Chapter 224 - Living in the world of men
The breeze and grass are green, the frogs are chirping and the cicadas are singing.
Jiang Luo buried Ji Yaozi's body in a feng shui site in the mountains of Jokhang Temple.
Ji Yaozi is only the heart vessel of the predestined person, just like the body of the idol that Chi You now uses. The idol body has absorbed enough Yin blood to become self-aware, and the heart also gives Ji Yaozi self-awareness. When he dies, he is dead, without three souls and seven bodies, and cannot even be reincarnated.
The cemetery is in a quiet location and Jiang Luo has taken on the role of Ji Yaozi's apprentice, sweeping and burning paper for Ji Yaozi's grave for three days.
"It's no good doing anything without some money," Jiang Luo sat cross-legged in front of the grave, putting a hundred dollar bill into the fire bowl, "I'm the apprentice, you give me your annual whistle, so I won't let you run out of money anyhow."
Chi You also sat beside him and threw a mobile phone made of paper into the fire pit.
Chi You was not touched by Ji Yaozi's suicide as he was a cold-hearted man. But because of Jiang Luo, he gave Ji Yaozi enough respect.
When he had finished burning everything, Jiang Luo got up, he looked at the tombstone for a moment and patted the paper dust from his body, "Let's go."
Two people strolling between the mountain paths.
After the death of the Fatalist, it was agreed that the body of the Fatalist would be thrown to the ground to prevent any accidents. Sai Liaoer, who had just saved Ge Zhu's life, was brought in to ask Hei Wuchang to come up and see if there was any chance of his resurrection.
It was only when Hei Wuchang was certain that the Fatal Man would never come back to life that everyone breathed a real sigh of relief.
Jiang Luo casually plucked a leaf from the top of his head, "The Fatal Man didn't die at your hands in the end."
Chi You did not speak.
Back when Jiang Luo was staying at Lian's house, the evil spirit dropped a hint to Feng Li. The celestial master who was hinted at would follow his instructions for a certain period of time, and the death of a predestined person at the hands of Feng Li was also tantamount to death at the hands of the evil spirit.
A sneer flickered across the corners of the evil spirit's mouth.
Jiang Luo rambled on, "Hei Wuchang hasn't found Teng Bi's soul yet, so it will be a while before we hear anything. I'm not going to sell Ji Yaozi's shop, it's a shame to sell it because it's a way to remember people. By the way, I don't think I've seen Li Sha this time. ......"
Chi You didn't like hearing him talk about other people and raised her hand to cover his mouth, saying slightly impatiently, "You talk about them, why don't you talk about you and me?"
Jiang Luo rolled his eyes and pulled Chi You's hand off, "What do I have to say to you?"
The evil spirit, "Oh, so you're not going to tell me anything."
Jiang Luo shuddered at the uncharacteristic tone of his voice and wanted to laugh a little, "Well, I do have something to tell you. Ge Zhu is almost done, let's stay at Jokhang Temple for another day tonight and go down tomorrow. Lu Youyi, they're shouting for us both to treat, after all, I'm the first one out of a whole class to get off."
Jiang Luo said with some amusement as he gave Chi You a critical look, "You still have many flaws, but they are not intolerable, and as my first man, don't disgrace me when the time comes."
Chi You took him by the shoulders, casually holding a strand of his hair in his hands and playing with it, smiling dangerously at the words, "First man? You want another man?"
"......" Your ability to capture the point is really quite strong.
By the time we returned to Jokhang Temple, the sun had set and there were a few loud thunderclaps in the sky. Before long, a cold rain fell, shrouding the group of ancient temples in a curtain of rain.
Jiang Luo asked Chi You to bring him some hot water to soak his feet in, but the water was so hot that he dared not go down even though he was on the sides of the bucket. In the end, it was the evil spirit who got involved and stepped on Jiang Luo's feet to get into the hot water.
"Grass," Jiang Luo tried to draw out, "hot!"
The evil spirit slowly continued to step on Jiang Luo, "It's better for your health if you're hotter."
Jiang Luo has a strange expression on his face.
That's an odd thing to hear coming from Chi You, "You're getting back at me, aren't you?"
The evil spirit asked with interest, "How so?"
Jiang Luo said, "Seeing that I instructed you to be displeased, so deliberately get me a bucket of boiling hot water ......"
As he talked, he couldn't even talk anymore because Jiang Luo himself told Chi You to bring back more hot water.
He shut his mouth wanly, and Chi You had just gone a little soft when Jiang Luo slipped out from under Chi You's foot and pinned it down, laughing, "I caught you! The water at the bottom of the bucket is the hottest, do you feel good now?"
"......" Chi You let out a sardonic laugh, "I'm so cool."
After soaking his feet, Jiang Luo breaks out in a thin sweat. As he lies comfortably in bed, he can hear the sound of his bones loosening. He stretches out and looks over to see Chi You lying comfortably next to him, his right hand reading a book while his left hand moves under the covers on his thigh.
Jiang Luo felt a bit of sensation from the touch, but was in no mood for such things. He lifted his foot and tucked it into Chi You's rock-hard leg, "Go and pour the water."
Chi You moved with a start, feeling that he had not heard Jiang Luo's words, "What did you say?"
Jiang Luo justified, "Pouring the water."
The evil spirit turned back to Jiang Luo and looked deep into his eyes. Jiang Luo stared at him undaunted, and after a moment, Chi You suddenly sneered, "Good."
He got up to pour the footwash.
Jiang Luo breathes a sigh of relief, wipes the sweat from his head and glances sideways to see Chi You's mobile phone on his pillow.
Curious, he took it and opened it. It didn't even have a password, and when he opened it, it was clean, even if Jiang Luo was the only person in WeChat.
Jiang Luo is happy, satisfied, exits and clicks on the album again.
But it's amazing that you need a password to open an album on a phone that doesn't even have a lock screen.
Jiang Luo became suspicious and tried to enter Chi You's date of birth, which was incorrect. He then narcissistically entered his own, which was still incorrect.
Jiang Luo was about to make the mistake of locking the screen three times when he suddenly lost the day they first made love.
The album is open.
Jiang Luo: "......"
Perversion.
With a little curiosity, Jiang Luo took a quick glance at the album, and when he saw its contents, his face darkened completely.
The album is full of ugly pictures of him!
They are all pictures taken of him while he was asleep over the past few nights. In these photos, Jiang Luo is either sleeping with his face covered in hair or his whole body is covered in the blanket in a bird's egg. There is also a picture of Chi You holding him in his arms and him sleeping on Chi You's chest. In this picture, the two are naked, with the bedding across their waists and stomachs. Jiang Luo looks like a fool as he sleeps with his lips slightly parted and what appears to be suspicious fluid in the corner of his mouth.
Chi You, on the other hand, is handsome and charming, and raises an eyebrow at the camera, looking suggestively at Jiang Luo.
"???"
Jiang Luo's eyes widened and he stared in disbelief.
When he reacted, he was immediately grumpy. Jiang Luo couldn't believe he had such a stupid picture of himself, and was stuck to Chi You like a fucking octopus - how was that possible?
Obviously he sleeps in a normal position every day?
He almost crushed Chi You's phone with one swift movement. At the critical moment, Jiang Luo grunts and keeps his wits about him, deleting the photos one by one, but hesitates when he reaches the one of the two of them embracing each other.
A few seconds later, he reached for his own phone and coldly transferred the photo to his own phone before deleting the original image from Chi You's phone.
Jiang Luo puts his things in place and stares back at Chi You slyly.
The evil demon's shoulders were a little wet from the rain and he saw Jiang Luo's eyes after some subtlety, "What?"
Jiang Luo shook his head silently, "You got wet?"
Chi You had never done the foot-washing for anyone before, so she smiled, "Wasn't it all for you?"
Jiang Luo: "Talking as if you didn't have a bubble, come here, sleep."
The sound of the rain outside is driving you to sleep. It's a bad day and it's dark outside the window by 6pm.
The more Jiang Luo thought about it, the more he realized that there was no way he could be clinging to Chi You and drooling on him like a fool. Whether it was self-delusion or self-congratulation, Jiang Luo put the blame on Chi You. It's all because of Chi You, otherwise how come he never does this when he's sleeping alone?
Jiang Luo mentally cursed Chi You a few times when Chi You suddenly sneezed. The evil spirit lay on his bended knees at the head of the bed and raised his hand to rub the bridge of his nose, feeling a little strange.
Jiang Luo, who had just been scolding him, felt weak and lifted himself from the covers, "What's wrong?"
The evil spirit was receptive to his concern, "It's fine."
Jiang Luo coughed his throat, "I'm going to bed then."
He ignores Chi You's suggestive glances and closes his eyes to brew sleep. Half-asleep, Jiang Luo suddenly feels a pair of hands fiddling with his body.
His fingers are cold and snake-like as they climb Jiang Luo's spine.
It is undoubtedly the hand of Chi You.
Jiang Luo came to his senses for a moment, but did not open his eyes. Keeping his breathing steady, trying to see what Chi You wanted.
Chi You's movements were so slow that Jiang Luo even felt some pleasurable enjoyment in him. He slowly turned Jiang Luo around from his back to face him.
Jiang Luo raises an eyebrow in his mind.
In the next moment, Jiang Luo's head is lifted and placed on Chi You's chest. Chi You takes Jiang Luo's hand in his and adjusts Jiang Luo's position into an active embrace.
Jiang Luo suddenly had a new idea about the photo he had seen earlier.
So it wasn't him who was sticking to Chi You, it was Chi You who "set him up"?
Jiang Luo was wondering whether to turn the other cheek now or wait a little longer when his lips were suddenly pried open by Chi You. The evil spirit enters as forcefully as if it were patrolling its own territory, and as greedily as if it were a long-hungry traveller. Jiang Luo's tongue is entwined and danced around by the evil spirit, and in a matter of moments the intense lust quickly sweeps over Jiang Luo.
Desire revived from the tip of his tongue, and the kiss ended after a long time, as if it had been interspersed with fire and knives. The evil spirit reluctantly retreats from Jiang Luo's lips, and a crystal pulls itself into silk, falling from Jiang Luo's lips to Chi You's chest.
Jiang Luo's breathing was a little unsteady and his face was crushed with a hot flush.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Luo felt the flash of the phone through his eyelids.
Jiang Luo gritted his teeth and thought, "Good, so this is how you take ugly pictures of me.
So that's what drool is.
Jiang Luo tells himself to hold back when his fists are itching.
Oh, he must find a good opportunity to get back with a good vengeance.
After a good night's sleep, the next day the group prepared their bags and left Jokhang Temple.
After the Predestined Man revealed his true purpose and died, the upper echelons of the metaphysical community were thrown into chaos. The Scientific Research Bureau took the opportunity to intervene and prepared to take advantage of this opportunity to bring the metaphysical community under complete control of the state.
To be honest, Jiang Luo and his team are very busy and have a lot to do. Jiang Luo, in particular, has a first place in a national university competition and is a representative of the younger generation, so he can do more, and some things only he can do.
They were given three days off to rest and recuperate at Jokhang Temple because of a serious injury and the defeat of the Fatalist, so they were given three days to rest, and once the three days were up, they were immediately thrown into the thick of things.
Jiang Luo is so busy that he even sleeps on the floor in the research bureau, not to mention inviting his friends to dinner with Chi You.
While he was busy, Chi You was also busy restoring himself. It took him half a month, but when things were taking shape, Hei Wuchang brought the good news that he had finally found the remnants of Teng Bi's soul.
Teng Bi had died twice and his soul was incomplete. The remnant soul Hei Wuchang had found was so weak that even the evil spirits did not care to devour it. But Jiang Luo was still overwhelmed by the sight of the handful of ghosts in Hei Wuchang's hand, a handful of ghosts of blue fire.
Lu Youyi was so moved that he choked up.
The remnants of Teng Bi's soul were placed in his greatsword to warm it up. Lu Youyi stroked the black greatsword repeatedly, he was so happy, so happy that he even had his hands full, "Dead ghost, you must recover well, after you recover, we will go to the dragon's eye to find your body, then we will continue to eat and drink and play games ah ...... "
He suddenly giggled and stood up, "Tonight is my treat, you can order whatever you like!"
Ge Zhu's eyes lit up and he applauded him frantically, "Good good!"
The office was buzzing with activity, and while everyone was lining up to poke fun at Lu Youyi, Ye Xun suddenly looked around, " Where is Jiang Luo?"
*
In front of a local prison.
The evil spirit walked slowly and methodically out of the prison.
He was dressed in an expensive black suit, slim, straight and highly attractive. The sound of his shiny leather shoes was crisp and good-natured with a touch of evil.
The guards didn't seem to see him, nor did the people coming and going to visit him. The evil spirit's pace was slow as he removed the blood-stained white gloves from his hands, his pale face outlined in a smile tinged with blood.
The long eaves of the prison door cast a slanting shadow that struck between the evil spirit's brow and eyes, dividing his face into two shades of light and dark. The ghost's smile, amidst the twisted shadows, sent a chill down his bones.
He tossed the soiled gloves aside and hadn't taken two steps forward when he gave a sudden lurch.
The lover the evil spirit hadn't seen in half a month was leaning against a tree trunk in front of the prison door. His head was slightly bowed, his long black hair cascading in front of him, and his long, slender fingers held a cigarette in a loose grip, feeding it into his crimson lips with a puff. Every now and then he glanced over at the prison door with a paradoxical flavour of flirtatious seduction and yet heroic charm.
He looks like a demon and can look like a warrior in his sharp work clothes and boots.
The shadows of the trees sway and the patches of light shimmer on him, and Jiang Luo moves lazily, obviously waiting for someone.
The evil spirit walked towards him and soon came under the tree. Jiang Luo straightened up and put out his cigarette, raising his chin, "Come on, I'm driving here."
Two equally eye-catching men walk side by side towards a used car on the side of the road.
Jiang Luo did not ask Chi You why he was here, because he knew without asking that Chi You was here for Chi's family in prison.
Chi You has never been associated with the words "kind" or "generous", and the reason he has always wanted to destroy the curse is to take revenge on the Chi side of the family.
And now, at last, he has done what he wanted to do.
There were very few people on the road, but a roadside stall was selling popsicles and watermelons. Jiang Luo bought two bottles of ice water and threw one to Chi You, who took it and suddenly let out a stifled laugh, "Will you be my accomplice?"
Jiang Luo was a member of the Bureau of Scientific Research, and he clearly broke the law in human society by killing a member of the Chi family sidekick in prison.
Jiang Luo understood the meaning but scoffed at his question, "You should know that human laws only work for humans."
After a pause, he added, "I'm more interested in being your nemesis than being your accomplice."
"Of course," Jiang Luo Yu Guang teased, sweeping over Chi You, "if what you want to do is also what I want to do, I will reluctantly be your accomplice for a time."
The evil spirit laughed silently.
Jiang Luo took a sip of iced water, his lips moistened by the water curved up in a deliberately charming arc, " Chi You, I've actually been meaning to ask you something."
The evil spirit raised an eyebrow, "What?"
Jiang Luo kicked the stone in front of his feet, it bounced a few times on the ground and rolled into the weeds, "What am I to you?"
"Is it your arch-enemy, your rival, your lover, or your alleged accomplice, the only one of your kind in a world riddled with malice?" He asked slowly.
The evil spirit stopped in its tracks.
He stood behind Jiang Luo and raised his hand, his bony but green palm passing through Jiang Luo's scalp, sending shivers down his spine.
Pulling a white hairband from his breast pocket, he gathered Jiang Luo's long hair and wrapped it in a sharp, handsome high ponytail.
Jiang Luo came to Chi You on his own initiative, without informing him. How could he not have imagined that Chi You would carry a hairband for him?
The evil spirit said, "You hold all the identities"
His fingers fell from the white hair band.
Before he met Jiang Luo.
Chi You has no kind, no rival, no lover.
He was alone, excited and thrilled by the dark side of the world, and overwhelmingly bored by such unchanging darkness.
Then Jiang Luo appeared.
His heart starts beating and the whole world suddenly becomes exciting. He wants to pull Jiang Luo down into hell, but Jiang Luo is not willing.
So the evil spirit was willingly saddled with a rope, barely pulling a bit out of hell to live with him in the human world.
