Underworld City was exceptionally quiet at night. Tang Ming, who had an obsessive-compulsive disorder, finally tidied up his room.
Tang Ming looked at the sky and discovered that it wasn't too late. He thought to himself that it was time to pull back his naughty junior brother, who had been preparing to stay outside for the night.
However, before Tang Ming could leave, Luo Ling ran back in a flustered manner, "There's a ghost, there's a ghost! Senior Brother, save me!"
Tang Ming raised his head, but was hugged by Luo Ling. His waist was tightly hugged by a pair of hands, and he did not let go. Tang Ming's face was cold as he said, "Let go!"
"Don't!" Luo Ling hugged Tang Ming tightly: "That's a ghost. Senior Brother, there's really a ghost!"
Tang Ming: "…"
Then how dare you hang around outside?
Tang Ming sighed. He knew that Luo Ling was truly afraid. After all, Luo Ling was a devil that feared nothing in the world, but was actually afraid of ghosts.
This fear was actually created by Tang Ming when he was young, after Luo Ling told him ghost stories every day before he went to bed.
Tang Ming: "…"
Now that he thought about it, Tang Ming couldn't help but reflect on it. Had he really tricked his junior brother too many times when he was young?
If Luo Ling could hear what Tang Ming was thinking in his heart, he would definitely tear up and accuse Senior Brother Wuliang. However, Luo Ling did not hear what Tang Ming was thinking in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, what's going on?" Tang Ming patted Luo Ling's head as if he was stroking a puppy. Luo Ling did not notice anything amiss with his senior brother Tang Ming's actions.
"Ghost Flame, that person's body was covered in ghost flames, and he crawled out from the grave …" Luo Ling was scared out of his wits and pitifully left Tang Ming helpless.
No matter how terrifying Luo Ling's words were, Tang Ming did not believe in ghosts or gods. Naturally, he was not afraid of anyone. However, when he saw his junior brother trembling in fear, Tang Ming coughed and asked, "Where did you see it?"
"To the east, I... I was looking at a nice view, who knows where a pile of graves! Then, I heard a sound, and then, I saw that ghost … " Luo Ling pitifully pulled Tang Ming. Although it seemed as if he had calmed down, he was still unable to hide the fear in his eyes.
"Dong Dong Dong …"
When the door was knocked, Luo Ling trembled. Tang Ming patted Luo Ling's back and comforted him, "I'll go open the door."
"But, but …" Luo Ling looked at Tang Ming, reminding him of a dog wagging its tail with wet eyes.
"Don't be afraid to knock on the door if you don't do something shameful." Tang Ming pushed Luo Ling onto a chair and said, "Let me speak."
Luo Ling nodded.
Tang Ming smiled in a comforting manner and walked towards the door step by step. His hand unconsciously clasped his waist as he asked, "Who is it?"
"I seemed to have scared a young master just now. I saw him walking this way, so I came to apologize." The sound outside wasn't too scary either. Tang Ming looked at the screen and only saw a pair of eyes peeking out. Tang Ming opened the door without hesitation.
The man outside the door was wearing a messy white robe and his hair wasn't tied up. During the day, he looked rather elegant, but at night, he was indeed quite frightening.
However, his face was rosy, and although his expression was indifferent, it was not gentle. However, he did not look like a malicious ghost.
The first thing the man saw was the screen's Luo Ling: "Am I that scary?"
Tang Ming helplessly looked at Luo Ling and knew his junior brother's character. He shook his head and said, "Young Master, it's better if you don't come in. We also know that this is a misunderstanding."
It was a clear order to leave.
The man did not get angry, "You guys are not from Nether City, right?"
Tang Ming nodded. He decided to see what the man was going to do. The man revealed a strange smile and said, "I'll give you a reminder. Leave Hades as soon as possible."
Tang Ming: "…"
Taking back the preface, this man did indeed look like a ghost.
Before Tang Ming could say anything, the man immediately left.
"Senior apprentice-brother …" Luo Ling threw himself into Tang Ming's arms, crying, "What the hell is this place!"
"Nether City." Tang Ming's expression did not change. He was not scared by the man at all. "The people here are a bit abnormal. It's good that you're used to it."
"How did you get used to it!" Luo Ling turned pale with fright. If it was a girl, she would have started to cry. After all, the man just now was indeed abnormal.
However, compared to the matters that Mo Qu and Tang Ming had told him, Tang Ming felt that this matter was too trivial.
Tang Ming looked at the terrified Luo Ling as he tried to think of a way to persuade his junior brother to go back. However, the most important thing right now was to comfort Luo Ling.
His junior apprentice-brother was scared stiff.
"Sleep with me tonight." Although Tang Ming had unwittingly brought his Junior Brother into this pit many times, the heart that he cherished for Junior Brother was real.
However, Luo Ling did not appreciate this. "How old am I to be sleeping with senior brother? I feel ashamed."
"People have died in this house." Tang Ming knew Luo Ling's reaction, so he calmly spoke. Immediately, Luo Ling trembled.
"Shi …" Senior Brother, you … "Don't lie to me." Luo Ling's expression instantly froze.
Tang Ming pointed to the bloodstains on the floor and said, "The previous owner of this house had probably committed suicide. The bloodstains have not been treated, and even now, they can't be washed clean."
"No way!" Luo Ling was like an exploding cat as he looked at Tang Ming in fear, "Master …" "Senior apprentice-brother …"
Tang Ming understood what Luo Ling was trying to say. Without even rolling his eyes, he said, "The previous owner of the empty room here committed suicide in his own house. It was said that he committed suicide or was it a gentle suicide?"
"This, this isn't really a ghost city is it?" Luo Ling's arms were wrapped around his shoulders and he felt gloomy.
Even if he didn't go outside, he was afraid of encountering a lunatic like the previous man, but inside the room, someone had died. Seeing Tang Ming turn around and go to bed, Luo Ling immediately rushed over: "Senior Brother, I'll warm your bed!"
Tang Ming looked at his Junior Brother, who had only his eyes peeked out of the blanket, and frowned. "Reveal your face, don't be so bored."
"It's warm." Luo Ling gloomily opened his mouth and saw Tang Ming staring at his senior brother without moving, revealing his head in a wronged manner. Only then did Tang Ming go back to bed with his slippers on.
"So cold?" Tang Ming frowned as he felt Luo Ling's temperature.
Luo Ling touched Tang Ming and could not help but burrow into his embrace, "Senior Brother, you're really strange. You're clearly ice-cold, but your entire body is warm."
Tang Ming silently allowed Luo Ling to hang on his body like an octopus: "Sleep."
"Mm …" Luo Ling yawned and a mist rose from the corner of his eyes. He looked like a good boy. He did not have the ruthlessness of a demon king.
He was probably used to sleeping with Tang Ming, so after rubbing himself with Tang Ming, he quickly fell asleep.
He pursed his lips and looked like he was in a beautiful dream.
Tang Ming glanced at the passing shadows outside the window and raised his eyebrows. Tang Ming waved his hand impatiently, causing all the candles in the room to be extinguished within a breath's time.
A dreamless night.
