Won’t You Stop Even in the Daytime?;

Chen Ming, as usual, was sitting in his rocking chair and rocking. Last night he was too drunk, and after the hangover, he only felt dizziness and had a dry and sore throat as if there were sawdust in it .

Zhou Nan thought that Chen Ming would explain about the strange posture yesterday, but the guy seemed to have completely forgotten it. Half the morning had passed and he did not mention a word.

However, Zhou Nan proved not to be paranoid. Chen Ming did remember some parts, and he was trying to recall what happened last night with a frown. He was a little confused about his dreams and reality, but he didn’t dare to ask Zhou Nan directly because it would be so awkward whether it was true or not.

Chen Ming was not a person who could hold things back. Finally he broke the silence and asked tentatively, “Did…Hu Yuelan come yesterday?”

Zhou Nan blinked and asked with an innocent look, “Or it was me that broke the door?”

Chen Ming glanced at the door frame which was kicked beyond repair and continued to ask, “And it was you that grabbed the liquor bottle from me after she left?”

Zhou Nan nodded, waiting for further questions.

Chen Ming went through what happened last night again, and figured out it was reality not a dream. Thinking of their strange posture, Chen Ming, the straightest of straight men, chewed some words over in his mind for a long time, but still he swallowed them, and continued to rock in the chair as if nothing happened.

Seeing that Chen Ming stopped asking , Zhou Nan was a little disappointed.

As Chen Ming was rocking in the chair, he heard a whisper saying, “Chen Ming, I’ve just got you a full schedule.”

He suddenly stopped his laid-back movements, paused for a moment and smiled, saying,”Won’t you rest even in the daytime?”

Zhou Nan stumbled and stepped back, because what he saw was the White Impermanence standing behind Chen Ming with its long tongue dangling over Chen Ming’s forehead. If a fainthearted ghost like Zhou Nan met a ghost lackey, commonly the first thing he did was to run and he definitely dared not say anything.

The White Impermanence threw off a pale white paper and said, “There is great evil in this place. Go and check that.”

Chen Ming picked up the piece of paper that floated to his chest. Just after he glanced at it, the paper was suddenly lit up with bright blue fire from the corner. He threw it away, and in a few seconds, nothing was left in the flames, as if everything had just been an illusion.

It must be for something urgent that the White Impermanence visited during the day. Chen Ming knew it but he showed no hurry. He slowly stretched himself and said, “Got it.”

The ghost lackey seemed not to be content with Chen Ming’s reaction so he added before leaving, “Do accomplish the task.”

“Well, well, I’ll pack up right now.” Chen Ming got up and dialed a phone number. He walked into the room, and clamped his phone between his ear and shoulder so that he could free his hands and cram all of his curious tools into his bag.

Zhou Nan saw peach wood swords, spells, compasses, glass bottles and even blood bags attached with ice bags from the freezer.

He asked in shock, “Are those blood bags?”

“It’s black dog blood.” The call got through and Chen Ming said on the phone, “Ah, Hu Yuelan, help me take care of the store. Two or three days, the key is at the same place.”

The other side seemed to have said yes. He thanked her and hung up.

Zhou Nan felt something was wrong when seeing Chen Ming hang up. He asked, “Are you going to travel far?”

Chen Ming didn’t turn back. He swapped some spells in his hand and did not answer. A few moments later he said, “Yes, the place is far away. Hu Yuelan will arrive in a moment. Get along well with each other.”

Zhou Nan hemmed and hawed, and didn’t reply for a long time. He could not figure out how to get along well with a person who was hostile to ghosts.

Guys usually packed up quickly. Besides, this travel would’t last long. Chen Ming just grabbed a few pieces of clothes and was about to leave when Zhou Nan quickly followed up and said, “Can I go with you? I can’t handle Hu Yuelan, she’ll beat me up.”

Chen Ming turned around. The grieving expression on Zhou Nan’s face showed that he was not joking. Chen Ming was amused, “Coward.”

Zhou Nan didn’t deny, ” I mean you treat me better than she does, does this displease you?”

“Ha ha, I’m happy that you say so. It seems that you’re relying on me.” Chen Ming patted Zhou Nan on the back and almost made him break into pieces, “Just follow me, but if you dare to cause any trouble, I’ll trap you in the bottle.”
