Chapter 488 Above the Posing (23) (1st update + 2nd update + 45.6w nutrient solution 3rd update) [VIP]

Cai Hong and Fang Sha were taken out of the warehouse by the team members who came in one after another. The team members who originally planned to try the psychic game more tonight now had to take the two people back first.

But where to put it after taking it back became a new problem.

These two are ruthless serial killers. Let's not talk about how to bring them back to the normal world. The first thing is to find a place to temporarily detain them.

"Jiang Jie." After the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau discussed for a few words, one of them came out and waved towards Zhao Yinglai, "Do you want to go back to the pharmacy now?"

"We..." Zhaoying looked at Bai Jinshu, "Brother Faye?"

"Yes," Bai Jinshu nodded, turned around and looked at the team member, "Is there any problem?"

"The two wanted criminals, Cai Hong and Fang Sha," the team member pointed behind him, "can we temporarily put them in the pharmacy's warehouse? We will send people to guard them."

Probably because he was worried that they would not agree, this team member explained in great detail that he chose the pharmacy simply because it seemed to be the most suitable place at the moment.

Restaurants are places where a large number of people come and go at mealtimes. Firstly, they are unsafe and there is no suitable place. Many people come in and out of every room in the restaurant every day.

Not to mention professions like couriers and food delivery men, they have no fixed place of work and cannot guard prisoners in one place.

Compared with these two, the pharmacy is a very suitable place.

First, although the pharmacy is open to the public during the day, most of the time only Dr. Fan and the three captains' friends are there. As long as the two are put in a warehouse or pharmacy where Dr. Fan doesn't usually go, no unauthorized people will enter. Secondly, their captain is also in a coma, and as a team member, they must leave someone to take care of him. In this way, they can use the excuse of taking care of the captain to leave more people to guard the two wanted criminals.

Finally, in order to allay their concerns, the team member also promised that they would keep the two people in a coma as much as possible and would not disturb their daily life and work, and would let them go back once they found a way to leave here.

"Is this okay?" He looked at the two men a little nervously.

"Okay," the captain's friend Skao nodded in an unusually friendly manner, "We have no objection."

"It is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police in hunting down wanted criminals," he even made a harmless joke. "It's just to help lock up someone in a room. I thought you were so nervous just now because you wanted us to help guard him."

"No, no," the team member waved his hand quickly, "Thank you, Mr. Si... uh, is your last name Si?"

He was a little unsure what to call him.

"Just call me Skao," Bai Jinshu nodded with a smile, "Sir, there's no need for that."

"Thank you, Skao," the team member thanked cheerfully, "You don't have to worry about the subsequent detention. This is our job. As long as we can bring back these two missing wanted criminals from the other world, the issue of a large number of fugitives fleeing to this world to escape punishment can be put on the agenda. By then, many criminals who have escaped legal sanctions will receive the punishment they deserve."

"By the way, the blood on your body and this coat... belong to our captain, right?" He looked at the blood on Bai Jinshu's body and the windbreaker in his hand with concern.

He had seen this windbreaker just now, and now that he was closer, he was sure it was the captain's.

It’s so strange, why is Scario wearing the captain’s clothes, and those clothes are covered in blood…?

"Oh, about this," Bai Jinshu said with an apologetic look on his face, "The psychic game we want to try requires releasing blood and smearing it on the body. We can't find any animals that can bleed here at the moment. I see that there happens to be a lot of blood on this windbreaker, so it's just right."

He bowed his head apologetically at the right time: "If this can't be worn..."

"Not really," the player's feeling of uneasiness soon faded away. He waved his hand carelessly and walked towards his teammates. "Oh, I just saw you were covered in blood and thought you were injured. I hope you're okay."

It would have been better if he didn't say anything, but he suddenly pointed out that Bai Jinshu's clothes were almost soaked with blood, and Bai Jinshu suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

Skao's cleanliness is no joke.

The next moment he realized that he was covered in blood, Bai Jinshu wished he could leave everyone behind and quickly go back to the pharmacy to take a shower and change clothes.

Fortunately, after confirming that the people could be placed in the pharmacy, the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau were also ready to take Cai Hong and Fang Sha back to the pharmacy.

With Qiu Zihan chattering along the way, most people didn't notice that Scarao looked unhappy. Only Zhao Yinglai and the investors on the barrage noticed his abnormality.

[What happened to Aoshen? Didn't they arrest these two people? Why does he look unhappy? ]

[It’s probably because of the cleanliness of the Aoshi…]

[Because these two people are not dead? ]

[In the previous video, it is obvious that Brother Faye is a germaphobe. He arrested these two people at the beginning, otherwise he would not have called Zi Han here.]

【Too. 】

[Speaking of which, these two people have been caught now, so we can close the market. Congratulations to those who bet on [Before Dawn].]

【Bet before dawn! 】

【What are the odds? 】

【1:23, I said that Aoshen’s men never hold grudges overnight.】

[Give me money, give me money, give me money! The housing management has closed! ]

[@Housing Management, closing, closing, closing, those who give money give money, those who take money take money. ]

[I know you are happy but don't be too happy yet, the person is not dead yet. The bet is to die before dawn, not to be caught before dawn.]

[…If I’m caught by the Ao Shen, I’ll definitely die. Does this still matter? ]

[Of course it’s important, because my bet is to die before sunset tomorrow. ]

The arrest of Cai Hong and Fang Sha brought out a group of night owls who had placed bets on the barrage. The time for the option [die before dawn] was too tight, so not many people placed bets. Now that they had calculated the odds, they realized that they were surprisingly high.

Now that the two men have been arrested, those who bet on [Before Dawn] are shouting to close the bet, while those who placed other bets are nitpicking on the words, insisting that it would not be considered a win if the two men didn't die, and the barrage of comments is filled with noise.

Under the densely packed text, Bai Jinshu finally returned to the pharmacy, and without looking back, he prepared to boil water and change clothes.

Zhao Yinglai squatted at the door with nothing to do, watching the team members lock Cai Hong and Fang Sha in a warehouse deep inside the pharmacy, and leave two or three people to guard them. Only then did he leave, looking back every few steps, worriedly.

Not long after the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau left, the exploration team returned.

Tang Ling had been staying up all night for three consecutive days and was yawning with sleepiness. He came to the pharmacy to take a look at the situation and asked what had happened tonight with sleepy eyes.

Di Xueni was in good spirits and asked enthusiastically how they caught the two men. Before Zhao Yinglai could say anything, Qiu Zihan added fuel to the fire and said a lot of things, such as "Brother Fa Ye is so powerful, he says someone will come out and they will come out", "He pretended to be injured to gain trust", "He and Brother Jiang Jie broke into the warehouse single-handedly and controlled two people with a dagger".

His description was too exaggerated, but his attitude was so sincere that it sounded like the truth. Even the few team members who were left behind to take care of Huai Jiamu were attracted and came to listen to the story.

In addition to these people, Wen Qi, who had already fallen asleep, was also awakened by their noise and tiptoed over: "Brother Jiang Jie, have those two been locked up now?"

"Yes," Zhao Yinglai nodded and pointed to the room behind him, "It's in there. If you want to see it, you can go and have a look now. Don't push the door open later, and don't go and see if there is any sound."

She didn't use much force when she knocked Fang Sha unconscious, and she would wake up in about three or four hours. By the time these two woke up, it would be the end of their lives, and anyone who heard the truth would be in danger.

Although he didn't know what Scarao's attitude towards Wen Qi was, Zhao Yinglai guessed that he probably didn't want to see Wen Qi mistakenly enter the room and be taken away directly by Fang Sha.

"I won't go to see it," Wen Qi shook her head and whispered in Jiang Jie's ear, "Brother Jiang Jie, what is the grudge between Brother Faye and these two people?"

"Why are you asking this?" Zhao Yinglai was surprised.

"I... I haven't finished my stand-in yet," Wen Qi blinked, "Did you come in to find these two people? If you find them and want to leave, will I be taken away with you?"

Scarao is friends with the captain of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation. If they could leave early, the team members might let them take them back.

She's understandably worried.

"We came in to look for other people," Zhao Yinglai explained casually, "Cai Hong and Fang Sha...tricked us before and wanted to push us to take the blame, but Scario saw through it."

"Oh, by the way, and you almost got the captain into trouble," she turned around and saw the captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau still lying on the bed, and added, "The reason those team members met you before was because they were actually chasing Cai Hongfangsha, but they ran into you when you came out."

These are not secrets, and there is nothing wrong with talking about them.

"Did they also injure the captain?" Wen Qi was curious.

When she came back, the captain was already lying in bed. If Zhaoying hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known what had happened tonight.

"No." A voice came from behind her.

"Brother Faye?" Wen Qi and Zhao Yinglai looked over together.

"Yeah," Bai Jinshu nodded casually, and nodded to Zhao Yinglai, "Let's go, we still have things to do tonight."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yinglai looked up.

There shouldn't be anything to do tonight, right?

Isn’t the goal tonight just to capture Cai Hong and Fang Sha?

"Substitute." Bai Jinshu uttered the two words slowly, and successfully saw Wen Qi suddenly jump up from the stool.

"Brother Faye..." She paused and lowered her voice cautiously, "Did you find it?"

"It's not like we've found it... we just have some news, but we're still not sure whether it's true or not." Zhao Yinglai felt a little sleepy, yawned and looked at Bai Jinshu, "You want to go and see it at this time?"

It takes a lot of time to get from their location to the edge of the city. In fact, it would be much more convenient if there were transportation during the day.

"There are too many people during the day, and it would be dangerous if we were discovered by the natives here," Bai Jinshu explained. "Let's go check it out tonight. It would be best to find a route that won't be discovered, so that we can go there during the day."

"Then why did we go through all the trouble to come back..." Zhao Yinglai sighed, "If you had said earlier that you wanted to go and see it, we could have just gone straight from the warehouse."

Cai Hong and Fang Sha's hiding place was very close to the edge of the city. It was obvious that the two had chosen it on purpose. If Wen Qi hadn't seen them, they would have had to rely on luck to catch them again.

"I have mysophobia," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "I need to come back and change clothes."

Even if the synchronization rate was not as high as 80%, he could not bear to wander around outside in a piece of clothing covered in blood, not to mention that the identity he was currently using had very serious mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He endured all the way from the warehouse to the pharmacy and changed his clothes, all thanks to the fact that the blood was not someone else's but Huai Jiamu's.

Although Scaro is a mysophobia, he is not the kind of person who does not know the priorities. If enduring his mysophobia temporarily can bring greater benefits, he does not mind going to the shallows in this outfit.

The reason why he would rather take a detour to come back, besides his mysophobia, was perhaps also the owner of the blood on his body.

He wanted to come back and take a look at Huai Jiamu.

Even though he knew that he was no longer in danger and that Wen Qi and the people from the Abnormal Investigation Bureau were still in the pharmacy, the moment Fang Sha was knocked unconscious, what flashed through his mind was not the possibility of what would happen after she mentioned the underworld, but his worry.

Bai Jinshu glanced at Huai Jiamu who had not yet woken up, at the wound that had been rebandaged, and at the black eyelashes that stood out against his pale face. He lowered his eyes and twirled his fingers.

A bit annoying.

There were clearly only three people from their foundation's exploration team in this pharmacy at the beginning, so why are there so many people surrounding it now?

Bai Jinshu cast a cold look at the three team members who stayed here, lowered his head and kicked Zhao Yinglai's stool unceremoniously: "Let's go."

He knew it was getting late, but it was hard to say whether others would have enough energy tomorrow after staying up all night. Zhao Yinglai's real body was staying comfortably at home, and he would be unworthy of his position as the captain of the organization if he didn't exploit her.

"Let's go, let's go," Zhao Yinglai stood up resignedly, "I'll go take a look now, Wen Qi, do you want to go?"

"Can I...?" Wen Qi blinked.

"It doesn't seem to work." Zhaoying looked at the team members who were left behind and shrugged, "It's a bit hard to explain why you left the pharmacy at this time."

Wen Qi was the person that the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau came in to look for. These members stayed behind to, firstly, greet the captain who was still unconscious, secondly, to guard the door of the two wanted criminals Fang Sha and Cai Hong, and thirdly, to keep an eye on Wen Qi.

After all, whether or not they can bring Wen Qi back concerns their entire team.

"Then I..." Wen Qi pursed her lips slightly and lowered her eyes in disappointment.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow," Zhao Yinglai swung his legs, "They can't stop you from going out during the day. You'll be bullied by a bunch of people when you go back. They won't allow you to live a good life in another world for a few days?"

Wen Qi nodded: "Then I will go with you guys tomorrow, Brother Jiang Jie."

"Brother Fa Ye, where are you going?" Qiu Zihan, who was not far away, also heard the voice and came over to join in the fun.

"Let's go to the edge of the city," Bai Jinshu looked at him, "Do you want to come with us?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Qiu Zihan nodded.

"Don't you need to sleep..." Zhao Yinglai was puzzled.

I was conscripted by Scarao, and this clue is indeed important, but why did Qiu Zihan come to join in the fun in the middle of the night?

"I'm young," Qiu Zihan patted his chest, "When I was in school, I could play games until three or four in the morning, and get up at six the next morning to go to school."

Zhaoyinglai: ...

It is said that staying up late will not make you grow taller, so why can Qiu Zihan grow so tall with only two or three hours of sleep a day?

This is unscientific.

[You're still playing games at three or four in the morning. No wonder you don't want to go to school.]

[Did you just play games when you were studying? 】

[Lack of sleep will cause the brain to develop incompletely. The reason why Qiu Zihan is missing a string has been found. 】

[The reason why Aoshen is grumpy when he wakes up has been discovered. It turns out that it is to ensure brain development. Master, I understand.]

[…Fuck, what have you realized?]

[Since staying up late will make you stupid, what are we doing staying up late to watch live broadcasts? ]

【Considered an adult [heart]】

[Adult brains are fully developed, and we don’t have to wake up at 6 a.m.]

【That makes sense.】

[And I won’t be able to sleep peacefully tonight unless I see Cai Hong and Fang Sha die.]

[Your true intentions are exposed. 】

It was approaching midnight, and there were fewer people in the live broadcast room than during the day. Amidst the scattered comments, Bai Jinshu and the other two returned to the edge of the city after another struggle.

"Fang Sha said they saw shallow beaches all over the place," Zhao Ying came to drink a cup of coffee and regained some energy. He looked around as he spoke, "Are there really shallow beaches here?"

Although we have reached the edge of the city, we are still surrounded by various urban steel and concrete. As for the so-called shallows, they are not even visible.

"Will there be a time limit?" Qiu Zihan guessed.

"There shouldn't be any. If there was, these two would have discovered it long ago," Zhao Yinglai muttered, "Let's keep going forward and see?"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Scario, who had changed his clothes, walking forward without looking back.

"Brother Fa Ye, wait for us." Qiu Zihan ran forward a few steps and caught up with Bai Jinshu's pace.

The few of them walked forward for a while, and finally, the buildings in front of them gradually disappeared, and a wisp of gray mist appeared in the air.

"Fog," Zhao Yinglai squinted his eyes and looked over, "Then the front should be a shallow beach?"

"Wow, this is the shallows you guys mentioned, Brother Faye. There seems to be someone in the fog of the shallows," Qiu Zihan said with sharp eyes, "There are still people at this time?"

"Fang Sha also mentioned that there was someone in the fog." Zhao Yinglai stopped cautiously and looked around.

They had walked out of the urban area and reached the suburbs on the edge of the city. There were no buildings on this road, and at the end of the road were the shallows and fog that Fang Sha had mentioned.

And there were indeed people moving back and forth in the fog, but these "people" were just blurry shadows, and it seemed that their faces could only be seen clearly if one walked a few steps forward.

However, Zhao Yinglai would not rush in. Instead, he carefully observed the edge of the shallow water, reached out and grabbed a stone from the water and threw it towards the figure.

The stone passed through the mist and hit the puddle, splashing a few drops of water.

"It didn't hit..." Zhao Yinglai touched his chin thoughtfully.

The "person" she was aiming at in the fog just now was estimated to be no more than two meters away from her, and the stone she threw flew at least three or four meters.

The stone fell to the ground, and not only did it not hit the figure, it also did not pass through the middle of the figure. Instead, it fell in front of the "figure", as if the distance was not enough to hit it.

This is unscientific.

No matter what, the stone should not have fallen in front of the figure.

Unless the visual positions of these figures are not actually their real positions.

"These figures are indeed strange..." Zhao Yinglai picked up a few more stones and threw them at the figures in front of him. Without exception, none of them hit him.

"The figure looks very close, but it's actually very far away," Bai Jinshu pondered for a moment, "To lead people to the deep water?"

If this river is really the Forgotten River, what will happen if you enter the deep water area? Will you become a ghost directly?

"That's probably the case," Zhao Yinglai squatted down and splashed some water, then raised his head and looked at Bai Jinshu, "Why don't we not go now?"

It’s not that she was afraid. In fact, she was the least afraid one. Even if something happened when she entered the deep water, at most she would just break a shadow puppet. It actually had no impact on her.

The main problem was that the size of the shallows was beyond their expectations. They were not sure how far the shallows were, so they were not sure how long it would take to reach the depths of the Forgotten River.

Cai Hong and Fang Sha were in the pharmacy. There was no telling when these two would wake up and when they would tell others about the underworld, so it would be better for them to go back before dawn.

"Well," Bai Jinshu nodded, "Let's find a more hidden way and come back tomorrow. Now let's go back first..."

At present, it seems that there should be no danger in the shallow area. Fang Sha and Cai Hong entered it once and returned safely. Conversely, they did not find anything related to the substitute.

So either this river has nothing to do with the stand-in, or if you want to find clues, you have to go to the deep water area.

Bai Jinshu stood near the shallows, looked at these blurry figures, and tried to guess their identities from the perspective of the underworld.

Doctor Fan in the pharmacy can see that normal people who died in the world of the living all live in the city, and the Gu King who revealed the information about the underworld did not turn into a human figure in the mist, but turned into a ghost in the underworld with a formal identity.

So these figures are definitely not normal dead people.

Could it be the soul of an innocent person who died in vain?

Or is it like the legend of the Forgotten River, where once you step into this river you will become a part of this place and wander in it forever?

"No wonder Fang Sha guessed this is an island," Zhao Yinglai stood up, wiped his hands, and looked around. "This shallow beach is very far away from the city, and it's very long. Fang Sha chased us away at that time. I guess she wasn't worried at all that we would run into them."

"You can try to come from behind the warehouse during the day tomorrow. There should be fewer people there." Qiu Zihan also spoke.

"Huh, let's go back to sleep," Zhao Yinglai stretched and yawned, "I feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep these past few days, as I have activities every night."

On the first night, I saw Wen Qi playing the elevator game, and on the second night, I went to catch her again. Now on the third day, I am here to fish for Fang Sha and Cai Hong, and to explore the shallows of what is suspected to be the Wangchuan River.

It is obvious to the naked eye that the next few days will not be easy.

"Qiu Zihan? Let's go." She waved at Qiu Zihan, and the two of them walked away arm in arm.

Bai Jinshu also yawned slightly and walked in the direction they came from.

In the pale moonlight, none of the three people could see that just behind them, one of the shadowy figures on the shallows was missing.

And with the help of the moonlight, there seemed to be a black thread on Zhao Yinglai's back.

[Oh my god, what is that?]

[Did you all see it? Something seemed to have entered the immortal's body just now.]

[It turns out that I am not dazzled? ]

[I thought I was blurry because I stayed up too late. ]

[No, there really is something.]

[Fuck, it feels so cool in the middle of the night, what is that thing, has anyone seen it clearly? ]

【Anyone who has recorded the screen? Take a screenshot and see. 】

[I recorded it, but the video is not very clear...]

The barrage exploded instantly.

In the unknown space, Bai Jin said that they didn't know what happened to Zhao Yinglai.

The three of them returned to the pharmacy along the same route they came.

After a while, everyone who stayed in the pharmacy was asleep when they left.

Wen Qi and several team members slept on a "bed" made of chairs. Bai Jinshu's rattan chair and another chair were empty, apparently reserved for Bai Jinshu and Zhao Ying.

The shadow puppet that Zhaoying came from didn’t care whether he slept comfortably or not. Anyway, his muscles wouldn’t get stiff due to the wrong sleeping posture. After yawning, he just threw himself on the chair, and his real body instantly jumped into the big bed.

Bai Jinshu closed the door of the pharmacy, turned off the lights, checked the wounds on Huai Jiamu's body, and after making sure that no blood was seeping out, he moved the rattan chair next to the bamboo bed, found a suitable posture, and fell asleep on the edge of the bamboo bed.

Perhaps it was because he had exercised too much tonight, or perhaps it was because he was lying next to Huaijia’s wooden bed, Bai Jinshu fell asleep exceptionally quickly.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he was suddenly awakened by the dazzling sunlight.

The surroundings were filled with the rustling sounds of people walking back and forth, as well as the chirping of birds in the branches of the trees outside the pharmacy. A slightly cool breeze blew past behind me, and it seemed that someone had opened the door of the pharmacy.

There was another sight, always watching him.

There are still too many people here.

When there are too many people around, they will make noise, and the noise will wake him up. Although Scaro is particularly grumpy when he wakes up, he is a light sleeper and once he wakes up, it is difficult for him to fall asleep again.

Bai Jinshu lowered his head in annoyance, but ultimately he couldn't resist his grouchy instinct. He opened his eyes unhappily, intending to grab a lucky audience to bear his wrath.

The next moment he opened his eyes, he suddenly met another pair of eyes.

On the bamboo bed, half of Huai Jiamu's face was bathed in the light orange sunlight, his eyes were slightly bright, and it was unknown how long he had been staring at him.

When I saw him open his eyes, a faint smile suddenly appeared in those eyes that were slightly brightened by the light orange sunlight.

Bai Jinshu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he felt a sense of loss from nowhere.

He looked away slightly, and the anger that filled his mind a few seconds ago had already been thrown away somewhere.

"Good morning?" He heard Huai Jiamu's voice pretending to be nothing.

He turned his gaze back silently.

Bai Jinshu: "...Don't think that if you say good morning, I won't ask you how you got hurt."

As an evil god, he was stabbed by a human and almost died.

If this were to be made public, everyone would laugh out loud, Fang Shaoning's faith would be shaken, and all creatures in the two spaces where time was stopped would be puzzled!

Unless he was told now what kind of ancient god Xiao Guo was, it would be difficult for him to understand how Huai Jiamu could have nearly died in an unknown space even after recovering his memory.

One of them was lying down and the other was lying on their stomachs. For a moment, no one except Bai Jinshu noticed that Huai Jiamu had woken up.

"...I am a wounded soldier." Huai Jiamu coughed lightly, his tone innocent.

"Yeah," Bai Jinshu curled his lips, "So I didn't ask you to get out of bed and stab it back yourself. I planned to do it for you. It's enough to take care of the wounded."

He glanced at the wounds on Huai Jiamu's body. He was still angry after getting up, so he added unhappily, "Why don't you thank me for avenging you?"

"Thank you, kind-hearted person." Huai Jiamu repeated sincerely.

And the next second after these words were spoken, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau member who pushed open the warehouse door let out a cry of surprise.

"Damn it! Fang Sha and Cai Hong are missing!"

The author has something to say:

The Foundation's small casino is open, and the next person to die is——

A. Xiao Guo

B. Unknown big shot

C. The parents of the two classmates named Zhang who bullied Wen Qi
