This answer was beyond my expectations.

The word "starved" is too far away for me. Hunger and famine are all things that you will only see in the news.

This little devil looked malnourished, but he was not so hungry that he was disfigured. How could he starve to death?

"It's true." It seemed as if he felt the suspicion revealed in our silence. He hurriedly emphasized, but immediately, he himself became hesitant, "Maybe he was starving to death..."

He stumbled for a while, "I, I escaped outside, hid in the phone booth... I fainted... Later, I became a ghost... I was very hungry, maybe... Uh..."

"Where did you escape? Why did you escape?" Wu Ling asked.

The little guy thought about it for a long time, his eyes were glimpsing. His appearance was not a slippery head, but he did not dare to contact people's sight.

"I just escaped...from Lan Ji..."

"Who is Lan Ji?"

The little ghost looked at Wu Ling blankly and was in a daze for a while, "Oh, you don't know... Lan Ji, Lan Ji is the ghost in our place. Yes, it's the Ghost King..." He racked his brains to think, "That's, even if we are all under Lan Ji's jurisdiction. She, she doesn't like me... Others don't like me, I... just run away... I don't know... Brother, brother, let me escape. Go outside... The other ghost kings say... Let's get separated together..."

"Tell me about the incident from the beginning, don't worry." Wu Ling said.

She exchanged glances with Liu Miao, and I saw Liu Miao nodding slightly to Wu Ling. It should be that Liu Miao had confirmed something, and Wu Ling's attitude changed and was no longer so strict.

Luo Mu moved his body, lowered his head, his eyes vaguely, "That's right, Lan Ji doesn't like us... She likes beautiful people. They are all beautiful people... We, we have to work, and then, just serve them... Many people will come here. If they look good... brother and the others, they say, when they go outside, other ghost kings, some are not necessarily... some are pretty good... we just find a way to escape... not the first time, we have had it before, before. If we are caught, we will be punished..." Luo Mu lowered his head even lower.

I just confirmed that Luo Mu came from the future world, and now I am even more certain.

The area where Luo Mu lives is different from the area controlled by the ghost in Guangyuan Mountain. The ghost king Lan Ji who controls there should be a slave social system. Those who are good-looking may have no worries about food and clothing. They live a leisurely and comfortable life under Lan Ji's hands. Those who are not good-looking become slaves and serve those who are good-looking.

The standard of whether it looks good or not is probably a bit unique.

Luo Mu is not ugly, but he is not handsome or beautiful.

"There are many beautiful people?" Wu Ling asked, "Where are the number of people like you?"

"There are hundreds of them... If they are old, they will be killed before, before they become ugly, and become ghosts... We, we have about tens of thousands of people..." Luo Mu thought for a while.

I was secretly surprised by what Luo Mu said about "being killed", but immediately realized that the world was completely different from the real world.

“Escape happens often?”

"Or, not...normal, I dare not...but, but there are always people. Some people are arrested and sent. Lan Ji will buy them...If the number of people is not enough... my brother is sent and sent by express..."

I looked at Luo Mu regularly.

Luo Mu was startled and looked at me, then looked at the others, and shrank his neck.

"What express?" I asked.

"Ah? Uh... um... that's it, it's the express delivery... Yixun, Yixun delivered..." Luo Mu was trembling.

"Is the one who manages that express delivery a ghost?" Wu Ling asked.

Luo Mu nodded, "Yes. It's always...you know? That..."

"What's going on with her?"

"Hey? That's right, I heard... she delivers express delivery. Many people... don't have a fixed territory, there are all kinds of things everywhere. They deliver things to ghosts. But there are many people." Luo Muyu said incoherently.

"Responsible for delivering goods to ghosts, but there are some couriers?" Wu Ling understood Luo Mu's words.

Luo Mu nodded vigorously.

"How to deliver? Only send express orders?"

"It seems..." Luo Mu said in a daze.

He may not have contacted the express delivery directly, but just heard about this situation.

"You just said that brother was sent to Lan Ji by her. What afterwards? He was one of those slaves, and encouraged you to escape?" Wu Ling pulled the topic back.

Luo Mu nodded sadly, "Well... he said, he wanted to escape and not be a slave. Not everyone, not everyone supports it... In Lan Ji's hands, at least, at least they won't die casually. If you go outside... some ghosts will kill people..."

Luo Mu clenched his fists with both hands, "Or, someone still agrees. Let's run away together. If you are caught, be caught, be caught,..."

There were tears in Luo Mu's eyes.

"Is Lan Ji arresting you?" Wu Ling asked.

"And, there are other ghosts, those ghosts, that's the original, it turns out..."

"So the people who were served turned into ghosts after death and stayed with Lan Ji?" Wu Ling added Luo Mu's words.

Luo Mu nodded several times.

"Then, during the escape, you got separated from the others." Wu Ling said again.

Luo Mu continued to nod.

"Since you are hiding in the phone booth, you should have entered the territory of other ghost kings, right?"

"I, I don't know... Maybe... the people there are all very strange... I was stared at... They just stared at me, didn't speak, and didn't come... I, I hid... There was no food, no water... It was raining, so I hid in the phone booth, and then..." Luo Mu's voice softened.

It seems that Luo Mu's death was a complete accident.

"Will people in your place become ghosts after death?" Wu Ling asked.

I sat upright and looked at Luo Mu.

Luo Mu nodded naturally, without thinking.

"So, what about the process of reincarnation? Or is there no reincarnation, the step of reincarnation?" Wu Ling asked, "If you understand reincarnation, it proves that there is this procedure there, right?"

Luo Mu blinked and hurriedly explained: "No, I heard... there is a little sister, I'm here..."

Wu Ling frowned.

Luo Mu was so scared that he could not continue talking.

"How did you get here?" Wu Ling changed his question.

Luo Mu whispered: "I, too, I don't know. After I died, I stayed in the phone booth. There seemed to be no one caring about that place. No ghosts came to eat me... Someone, and ghosts walked past me and looked at me, but, but not... One day, I suddenly... suddenly came into the sea. I... I floated out, saw the boat, and then, I went into the city..."

Luo Mu recalled with difficulty, but there were obviously many gaps in his experience along the way.

"When did you get here?" Wu Ling asked.

Luo Mu was thinking hard again.

"Do you remember the date?"

Luo Mu shook his head.

"What about the date of the world over there?"

"Huh? Over there, over there... we escaped in 241." Luo Mu said.

"241?" Wu Ling frowned.

Luo Mu realized something and added: "Lan Ji, Lan Ji has her own date. I only know the dates on Lan Ji..."

Then, this date is really of no reference value.

Luo Mu seemed to understand that he could not provide clues and lowered his head guiltily.
