Lord of Eternal Darkness

Li Xiaoming heard the strange noise and turned his head in a panic.

I saw a man sitting on the stairs, wearing a gray robe, carrying a medicine box with colorful potions exposed, and the left side of his face was covered with a monster mask.

Next to it was a black kitten with shiny fur and strange green pupils. It spun around twice and purred twice, which was very uncomfortable. Then it ran to the wall clock and lay lazily on it to rest.

The man clapped enthusiastically, "Welcome, no new residents have arrived for a long time."

"Lonely ghost, right? I remember you."

Li Xiaoming was quite interested in this mysterious figure with a face that was half young and half old. He didn't expect that the co-tenant introduced by Lao Lu was so weird.

"Li Xiaoming, right? You have a really good memory." He responded in a hoarse voice.

"Both each other, I didn't expect that when I came to rent a house, the first new roommate I met would be you."

"That's really a great honor. I'm also a little curious. Doesn't the school have a special dormitory area? Why do you have to live off campus? Although the rent here is indeed very cheap, safety risks are more important to people like you."

The other party asked in confusion, then he casually pulled out a red medicine bottle, drank it in one gulp, shuddered all over, and exhaled refreshingly.

Li Xiaoming replied: "It's okay. My fiancée is too annoying. The main reason is that staying at school will cause a lot of trouble. It's better to stay outside and solve it myself. I never like to trouble others."

"How about a couple of sips of good whiskey, mixed with red wine, and some Chinese medicine to replenish energy."

He handed over a bottle and a half of a test tube that contained an unknown red liquid.

Li Xiaoming frowned and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

Gu Gui took a sip and said: "Haha, are you worried that I will harm you? Don't worry, although I am very interested in your body, I also need to complete the transaction."

Li Xiaoming said: "I don't know you, and if the medical profession prepares antidotes in advance, or is highly resistant to toxicity, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"

"You are right. You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others."

"Well, are you the only one living here? Where is the fat man?"

"Are you talking about picking up corpses? The child was too ugly. I was afraid of scaring the neighbors. I locked him in the house during the day to help with some experiments, and only let him out for air at night. Although he ate a lot, But being obedient and quiet sounds quite pitiful."

Li Xiaoming saw the human skeleton model placed at the entrance of the stairs, the bottles stacked in the boxes still had some liquid left in them, and a large number of discarded blood-stained gauze could be seen everywhere. The air was filled with the weird smell of herbs.

"Sigh, it's really hard to understand why you, as a medical profession, are so obsessed with the study of the body? If you can treat illnesses and save people properly, you won't be regarded as the same kind as a cultist."

After hearing this, Gu Gui walked down the steps.

"A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door. Do you believe in the existence of the Creator of flesh and blood? Do all sequenced genetic creatures in this world come from a community? Aren't you dreamers also fascinated by the exploration of the spiritual world? You would rather Indulge in illusion and abandon reality.”

Li Xiaoming did not refute his point of view. He did not expect that the other party could actually oppose the church's philosophy. He believed that all living things evolved from one origin, which was indeed quite capable.

"You are right. Where is the landlord?"

He chuckled sinisterly and said, "Huh? Don't you think about changing your house? Wouldn't you be scared to live with a weird person like me? Hehehehe."

Li Xiaoming shook his head, "It's nothing. Your ideas are very advanced and interesting. You are getting closer to the truth step by step. Maybe I can be of some help to you."

"Oh, my god, finally someone recognizes my experiment. Maybe we will get along very happily in the future. I may invite you to enjoy afternoon tea in the backyard and Miss Mary's biscuits, although they taste very good. Oops, but please don’t say no.”

Li Xiaoming nodded, suddenly realizing that there seemed to be someone else.

"Miss Mary? How many tenants are there in this apartment?"

Gu Gui bit his finger, his facial expression was a little distorted, as if he was thinking hard, then he took out a blue medicine and drank it in one gulp.

"Five? No, it should be 6. If I count you, there should be 7."

"So many people? It's so rare that they can actually get along with you."

Li Xiaoming was very surprised when he heard the call. He thought it was a hiding place specially prepared by the school for lonely ghosts. After all, the school leaders owed this guy a lot of favors, which could be seen from the fact that he had a special plane to pick up medicine in the mountains.

But being able to choose to live with this guy would be a real hardship for those tenants.

Just the strong smell of medicine in the room would make people vomit, not to mention the fact that this guy was nervous and had a fat man with a ferocious face.

Gu Gui didn't take it seriously after hearing it.

"Compared to these guys, I'm still a normal person. You have to know that the people who choose this apartment are basically aliens in the eyes of normal people, so are you ready to accompany us?"

Li Xiaoming immediately understood the head teacher's intention of asking him to come over.

"Haha, you actually said that you are a normal person. I am even more curious about what the other residents are like. Can you tell me a little bit about the other residents so that I can be mentally prepared before I can escape in time."

Gu Gui said: "Miss Mary is a chef by profession, which is quite normal among us, but she has a certain paranoid fanaticism about the research and development of delicious food, so she often makes some dark dishes, so don't choose to refuse.

"Otherwise she will be very sad, because she prepared the food for all of us. You don't want to see cockroach severed limbs and curly hair on your plate, right?"

"Well, as soon as I heard this stuff, I instantly lost my appetite."

Li Xiaoming recalled the insect banquet he was invited to by his friends last time. He had to taste the lunch made from various insects, otherwise the host would be embarrassed and sad, so he was deeply dominated by this fear for the whole day. One year.

Although it tastes good without looking at the bugs, I would rather eat pickles than touch them again in the future.

"I heard that someone was tasting my cooking skills. Does anyone want to try my newly made biscuits?" A pleasant female voice came from a distance, accompanied by a fragrant smell that whetted one's appetite. .

Hearing this sound, Gu Gui shivered with fright, looking around for a place to escape.

But it was too late, the cook had already arrived in front of them.

"Did Xiaogu have a new guest?" Her tone was full of excitement.

The lonely ghost looked at the plate of biscuits, his facial expression twitching to the point of squeezing into a ball. "Probably, thank you for your hard work and preparing these delicious foods for us."

Li Xiaoming looked at the woman who frightened the strange doctor. She was very beautiful, with short red wavy hair, beautiful olive green eyes, and a very proud figure. She was wearing a family chef outfit, exuding a mature and sensual aura. Age is about 30 years old.

At first glance, it doesn't seem to be anything special. If she is a mistress, she must be enjoying it. If she is a daughter-in-law, she is also the kind who can live a good life.

"Hello, Miss Mary, the first time I saw you, you are really beautiful and moving as Mr. Gugui said." Li Xiaoming extended his hand generously.

"Thank you. Your little mouth is so sweet. I took the liberty of disturbing your conversation. As an apology, you can taste these biscuits. Of course, you can't eat too much because I want to share them with other neighbors. But find some time. , I can cook a special meal for you."

"Oh my gosh, that's such an honor."

Li Xiaoming felt that Gu Gui's hand on his shoulder was trembling slightly.

He whispered in his ear: "Brother, although my first impression was the same as yours, I thought she was very beautiful, but this woman is very dangerous. Try not to eat anything she gives except for dinner. Later I'll help you cover, and you can find a reason to escape."

"It's not that exaggerated, right?"

"Let me tell you this, my mid-level doctor profession cannot guarantee that anyone who eats the food she gives will be saved."

"Hey, then I'll be more interested in trying it!" Li Xiaoming showed an excited smile.

Although I don't trust this strange doctor, his medical skills are still guaranteed. The fear of the other person's words must be experienced personally, out of curiosity.

"Uh, are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Gu Gui said helplessly: "Okay, I respect you for being a pure man. You are even crazier than a lunatic. Do you want to take two detoxifying pills first as a precaution?"

"What are you whispering about? Don't you want to try such fragrant biscuits?" Mary handed over the plate with bear biscuits.

The lonely ghost vaguely saw an indescribable dark mist on the biscuit. The shape looked like a human and a bear, like a corpse crucified on a cross.

The rough and uneven objects are dotted with dots that look like the eyes of dead sheep. It exudes a smell that lures mortals to fall into hell. It seems to be warning, run away quickly and don't taste the delicacies that even demons are afraid of. .

"Then I won't be polite."

Li Xiaoming picked up a piece of biscuit, and the smile on Mary's face became even brighter, thinking to herself that she is such a good child.

The lonely ghost murmured the word "stupid". This kid has great uses. The distorted facial expression seems to be very determined.

He snatched the biscuit, stuffed it into his mouth and waited for the death sentence.

The other two were stunned. Miss Mary didn't expect Mr. Gugui to be so eager to taste the biscuits this time.

In the past, they always used various excuses. In the end, when the food was cold and unpalatable, it was wasted. Could it be that their food was successfully prepared?

Gu Gui didn't even feel like chewing anymore and pushed Li Xiaoming out directly.

"Friend, it's time for you to pick up your fiancée. She is waiting for you in the kindergarten after school."

"My fiancée is in college." Li Xiaoming retorted.

The lonely ghost felt that the food he had swallowed was poisonous, and it was about to burst out.

quick! It's almost too late.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Whatever, maybe I remembered it wrong, but it's actually about the same."

When Mary heard that the guest was about to leave, she said sadly, "That's such a pity."

"It's okay, there is still time to taste a cookie, beautiful lady." Li Xiaoming happily took another cookie from the plate.

Gu Gui is stupid, do young people today not value life so much?

It is rare for me to have the fearless spirit of self-sacrifice, so why don’t some people cherish it? It’s really hard to be a good person, and it’s hard to be a bad person.

He wanted to stop; he wanted to shout; he wanted to knock the plate of cookies to the ground.

Then he pulled Mary's hair and said to her harshly: "What you did is just a pile of shit, yuck!"

But now he feels that his vision is gradually blurring. Even with the doctor's toxic antibodies, he can't hold on. Maybe he can hold on after being promoted to the third level in the future. Is there still a chance now? It’s just that there are many wishes that have not yet been fulfilled.

He watched in despair as Li Xiaoming stuffed the biscuit into his mouth. The clicking sound was like the whisper of the ancient demon god.

Probably the outcome cannot be changed. Next, this child will experience a living hell.

"The taste is okay, but it's a little too sour. Did you put too much lemon juice? Fruit cookies?"

Li Xiaoming took another biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth, tasting it carefully.

Mary took the cookie and tasted it for herself, "Oh, really? Thank you for your review. I will definitely try to correct it next time. I hope you will come to taste it next time."

"Maybe I will live here in the future."

"Really? That's great. I can add more good ingredients to your three meals a day."

"No need to take such special care." Li Xiaoming smiled and shook his head.

Gu Gui was dumbfounded, how come he didn't have anything wrong? You should know that the first time he took advantage, the spicy stick he ate almost made him meet the King of Hell, and the tea he tasted made him cramp all over.

And... there are too many examples of despair, and I have worked hard to survive.
