Chapter 148: Really Favored
Xu Yu took a sip of wine and said with some regret: "I lost a special piece of the puzzle."
Luo Shiyu asked three questions in a row: "Lost? How did he lose it? How could a living person be lost?"
Xu Yu put away her usual smile and continued to tell the story...
"He was a child from an orphanage. He was very different and always by himself. I asked the other children in the orphanage why they didn't play with him. They told me that he was a freak who always talked to the air by himself."
"Talking to the air? Are you sure he's not mentally ill?"
"Yes, that's what I thought at first. After asking the dean, I found out that the child's mental tests were all normal. How can someone who always talks to himself be mentally normal? There is only one possibility, this child is probably a psychic ghost master who hasn't awakened yet."
"Awakening?"
"You didn't know? Psychic-type ghost masters are special. They need a certain opportunity to awaken their abilities. Some people may never find this opportunity in their entire lives. This is one of the reasons why psychic-type ghost masters are so rare."
"That's it..."
"But unfortunately, he wasn't interested in becoming a ghost tamer, and he left the orphanage while I was escaping death."
"Then why don't you go find it?"
"He probably left the orphanage for his own pursuits. Besides, if a psychic ghost master isn't trained properly, he could easily end up in a mental hospital. It's better not to drag that child down with him."
Xu Yu drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, put the glass back on the table, put his arm around Luo Shiyu's shoulder, and said, "Let's go! Go get your commission."
"Um…"
[I always feel that Xu Yu cares a lot about the child he mentioned.]
Before leaving, he casually pulled William Lex away while he was wiping the cup.
"I haven't finished wiping my cup yet."
"Oops! Come back and wipe it."
Luo Shiyu smiled.
Xu Yu is truly... decisive and resolute.
The three of them came to the outside of William Lex's studio. Xu Yu pushed Luo Shiyu and motioned him to open the door.
Luo Shiyu was thinking, why do you let me open the door? His hand had already opened the door in advance.
A sunny doll with a human face attached to it hit him head-on.
"Ah——" Luo Shiyu screamed in fear and stepped back repeatedly.
Xu Yu laughed and slapped his thigh: "Hahahahaha!"
"Xu! Yu! Are you kidding me?"
Luo Shiyu rolled up his sleeves and went over to press him.
Xu Yu realized something was wrong and turned around and ran.
"I didn't expect you to be so frightened."
"I'm a coward, okay? If I don't beat the shit out of you today, you'll have done it cleanly!"
He ran away, he was chased, he went up to the roof, and he picked up his weapons and started smashing things.
William Lex, a man who was nearly fifty years old, couldn't stand these two childish guys. He stretched out his mechanical arms, picked up one in each hand, and threw them into the house at the same time.
Luo Shiyu landed on his butt first and cried out, "Ouch!"
Xu Yu was lying on the ground like a dog eating shit: "Hiss~ Lex is still so unkind!"
William Lakes asked, "Are you two behaving yourself?"
Luo Shiyu stood up, rubbed his aching butt and said aggrievedly: "Yeah."
Xu Yu was still lying on the ground, smiling at William Lex, and asked him, "How do you expect me to be honest, Lex?"
"Be serious." William Lex picked up Xu Yu and threw him on the sofa. He explained to Luo Shiyu, "He has always been like this. Don't be offended."
Luo Shiyu nodded. In fact, he was almost used to this inexplicable guy Xu Yu.
William Lex took out a piece of face skin from the cabinet and said to Luo Shiyu, "Now, please describe his appearance to me in as much detail as possible."
"okay."
Luo Shiyu described to William Lex the two people who beat Wang Xiaobao and almost killed him in his memory.
After that, all we have to do is wait for news from Xu Yu.
Luo Shiyu glanced at the time and said to Xu Yu, "I should go now."
"I send you."
Xu Yu sent Luo Shiyu out of the bar and handed him a small trump card.
"This is…"
"If necessary, I will use the «Transposition» to switch you."
Luo Shiyu was a little worried and asked, "If your little king is in my hands, will it affect your ability to use in other places?"
Xu Yu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Magicians always have several decks of cards."
Luo Shiyu nodded, put the playing cards away, and suddenly thought: "What's the difference between me being on call for you 24 hours a day?"
"Oh my! That's a big difference! They'll let you know in advance."
"There's no difference, right? I'm walking into a wolf's den."
"Don't say that!" Xu Yu placed a jade box in Luo Shiyu's hand and said mysteriously, "Here, a gift for joining the group."
Luo Shiyu opened it and took a look, then quickly closed it, hugged it tightly in his arms, and said, "You gave it to me, you can't take it back."
"Okay, come to the bar and help me out when you have time."
"No problem, no problem."
On a building not far away, a woman in green with a beauty mark on the lower right corner of her lip was watching the two people talking under the tree.
In her eyes, there was a hint of white between Luo Shiyu's eyebrows, which protected his mind and isolated him from the evil spirit. (This was also the reason why Luo Shiyu could maintain his mind after falling into the devil, but he didn't know it.)
"Sister, you protected him too well. He was completely defenseless."
The green-clad woman's words were filled with disappointment, yet she questioned with confusion, "I don't understand. Why? Sister, even if your soul is annihilated and dissipates into all things, you still want to leave a trace of your spirit to protect him?"
The woman in green gripped the railing with both hands, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
"Why? Why do you value this treacherous man's child so much? You two are not even related... Sister!"
A tear fell from her cheek. When the woman in green raised her hand to wipe away the tear, she rubbed the beauty mark on the side of her mouth. She kept muttering: "Sister... Sister..."
"I miss you…"
The woman in green gathered a ray of Heavenly Power in her palm, holding it in her arms like a treasured possession, and muttered to herself:
"Sister, I will give him some time to grow. If he still can't resist the evil spirit on his own, I will take your soul back without hesitation. Don't blame me, sister. I really gave him time. He is useless, so you can't blame me for being ruthless."
"Because I really... missed you so much."

Luo Shiyu had just returned to the ghost realm when Xiao Hei asked curiously, "Master, what's in that box?"
"This box..." Luo Shiyu opened the box and shouted excitedly, "It's a hell-level soul bead!"
Xiao Hei: "Oh oh oh!"
Xiaobai: "Congratulations, Master. You are one step closer to returning home."
Luo Shiyu picked up the soul bead and hesitated when he put it to his mouth.
Xiao Hei: "Master, eat quickly!"
Xiaobai: "I've tested it, it's not poisonous."
"Xiaobai, come out."
Xiaobai appeared as ordered, a little flustered, and explained in advance: "Master, I did nothing wrong."
A black soul bead appeared in her palm. Luo Shiyu smiled at her and said, "Here you go."
"Give...give it to me? Why? Doesn't the master want to go home very much?"
"There's more than one way for me to go home. There's also He Gui!" Luo Shiyu raised his hand and gently stroked her head, saying softly, "Xiaobai is so well behaved, she deserves a reward."
Xiao Hei also joined in the fun: "Hurry up and eat it, Xiao Bai, and then tell me what it tastes like."
"Thank you...thank you."
Xiaobai held the soul bead in both hands, placed it on his chest, and curled up to absorb it.
Luo Shiyu stood aside and whispered to Xiao Hei, "Sorry, Xiao Hei, I'll give it to you next time."
"It's okay, I don't care about that. Just take me out to play more."
"Xiao Hei also..."
Before Luo Shiyu finished speaking, the smile on his face turned into shock.
Xiaobai turned into a ball of light and drilled into his body. He suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.
