Chapter 493 Above the Posa (28) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]

It's just easier said than done.

It is absolutely difficult to find someone in such a large area whom they don't even know what he looks like.

After saying this, Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai fell silent at the same time. One of them started distributing the medicine while the other started picking it, as if they had not said anything just now.

After a few minutes, Zhao Yinglai suddenly asked, "Are you talking about an adult or a child?"

——According to the time calculation, this little kid is actually Lin Jianyu's child when he just became an adult. Judging from the information provided by Xu Ke and Wen Qi, Lin Jianyu is nearly fifty years old this year. His first love girlfriend got pregnant in his freshman year and gave birth in his sophomore year. So according to the age of seven, he started school, which means this happened when he was twenty years old. If this child was born and grew up normally, he would be at least in his twenties now.

Although he is the "little devil" in the "raising a little devil" group, but judging from his age alone, this child is definitely not small.

So now that he appears in the underworld, will he maintain the state he was in when he died, with the appearance of a baby, or will he behave according to his age, looking like a young man in his twenties?

"I don't know." Bai Jinshu turned around and opened the medicine cabinet. "What do you think?"

"Sir." Zhao Yinglai said confidently.

If it was the latter, judging by the kid's appearance when he died, a child who had just been born, regardless of whether his age did not match his appearance, would not be able to survive in any world.

This is not due to non-materialistic considerations, but to realistic factors.

This little kid died along with his mother during childbirth. The day he was born was the day he died. He is a baby who has no normal behavioral ability at all.

A baby needs to be taken care of by others and it is impossible for it to live independently in this world. If this little ghost has already taken root in the underworld, it must be using the appearance of an adult.

"Not necessarily." Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked a different question, "Do you think he would be willing to stay here now?"

——And from Wen Qi’s words, it can be heard that as Lin Jianyu’s business grew, this kid’s appetite also grew bigger and bigger. When the captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau went to investigate, Lin Jianyu did not meet his demands, and he even dared to kill nine people in a row.

The appetite of this little devil had been developed to the point where even killing nine people could not satisfy him. At this time, Lin Jianyu stabbed the little devil who had blessed him with wealth and glory for more than twenty years in the back, and used some means to prevent him from influencing him anymore.

Logically speaking, the kids nowadays should hate Lin Jianyu to death.

Is it possible for him to live a normal life in the underworld?

"He won't," Bai Jinshu answered himself, "Not only is he unwilling to stay here, if he has the chance to go back, he will definitely return to that world and destroy Lin Jianyu's family."

"So the reason why Lin Jianyu can still enjoy himself outside is because this little devil can't go back."

It is said that children are a mirror of their parents. This little ghost had just been born when Lin Jianyu made him into a ghost. He was at an age where he knew nothing. If he had not followed suit, how could he have killed nine people as a threat?

Lin Jianyu started from scratch, and his hands have been absolutely dirty for more than 20 years.

The little ghost followed suit, thinking that he was important because he had blessed Lin Jianyu with wealth and glory for more than 20 years. Lin Jianyu didn't dare to do anything to him, so he imitated Lin Jianyu and killed nine people in a row to threaten him. However, he didn't expect that Lin Jianyu would actually kill him too.

Lin Jianyu had just come of age when he dared to steal the dead baby's body from the coffin and make it into a little ghost. Then, after more than 20 years, the little ghost with an increasingly big appetite became difficult to control, so he naturally had the courage to replace it with a new "little ghost".

Lin Jianyu dared to attack this little devil, he must have made full preparations to prevent him from coming back to take revenge on him.

Therefore, it must have lost its ability to retaliate now, and may not still have the normal appearance of an adult.

"Then what can we do if we find him?" Zhao Yinglai frowned and unconsciously began to rub the scale in his hand, "He has lost the ability to retaliate, so it's useless to find him."

Fang Sha and Cai Hong were still easy to deal with, but the other culprits who caused Huai Jiamu to be seriously injured were all in a world away from them.

This is a difficult situation. Whether it is collecting information or taking action, the difficulty has increased by an order of magnitude.

She rummaged through the herbs in her hands in frustration: "We still have too few clues, and time is too tight."

They seemed to know a lot, but it was all invalid information. It was still unknown where the little devil who could really cause harm to Lin Jianyu was, and it was unclear whether it would be useful once found.

Xu Ke's anxiety is contagious. Even though Jiang Jie still looks like he is standing obediently behind the counter dispensing medicine, in fact, Zhao Yinglai has already walked around the room three or four times with his hands on his hips.

In fact, it stands to reason that Zhao Yinglai doesn't need to worry about how to deal with Lin Jianyu. After all, the rules regarding the positional space now seem to be focused on the disappeared Fang Sha and Cai Hong. Lin Jianyu, who is in another world, has nothing to do with the rules of this unknown space except for designing to injure one of their team members.

But after all, Scarao joined this exploration to help him find someone. Now that the person she was looking for has been found, the natives in this unknown space have hurt the members of [0106]. It is reasonable for Zhao Yinglai, who is also a member of [0106], to stand idly by and should form a united front with Scarao.

The only difference from the anxious Zhao Yinglai was that the long-haired young man who was also standing at the counter had a surprisingly calm expression.

"There will be clues, and there will be time," Bai Jinshu looked at Zhao Yinglai, as if he could see the person controlling the shadow puppet through the puppet, and said meaningfully, "And how do you know it's useless?"

"Wen Qi..." He looked at the girl in the white dress sitting at the door and said with a sigh, "She's much smarter than you think."

Based on the information she provided, it was impossible for them to cause any harm to Lin Jianyu in another world. Even if they returned to their original world, all they could do was expose these things.

Wen Qi can do this kind of thing herself.

Moreover, for an entrepreneur of Lin Jianyu's status, although this kind of negative news will stir up public opinion for a while, it will not actually cause any serious damage.

It is impossible that Wen Qi was unaware of this, but she still chose to tell them the information. Either it means that she was desperate and was trying every possible means, or it means... In fact, some solutions were already contained in this information.

However, Wen Qi couldn't do this, so she turned her attention to Scarao.

It seems that the deaths of Cai Hong and Fang Sha did indeed make her opinion of Scarao turn 180 degrees.

Bai Jinshu was not sure whether she didn't convey the information all at once because she really didn't know the details, or because Wen Qi, as the owner of the information, didn't trust that Skao, whom she had just met by chance, would really attack Cai Hong and Fang Sha like he did. She was still in her "observation" period. She brought up Lin Jianyu, who was related to Huai Jiamu's injury, to see if he could find the key, whether he would attack Lin Jianyu, and whether it was worth it for her to give more information.

But he was clear about one truth, that is, when time is tight, only those who are anxious will give in, and if you take a step back, you will take steps back.

They have four days left before they have to leave, but only they know this. Wen Qi, on the other hand, has an obvious handle -

If the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau were to leave, she would definitely be taken away with them.

Wen Qi wanted to "test" him, so as long as she increased her sense of urgency, she would have to reveal the hidden information.

"Let's not talk about this for now," Bai Jinshu suddenly changed the subject and shook the prescription in his hand, "This should be the last one for today. After finishing this one, there will be no more work to do in the afternoon."

In other words, the afternoon is their free time.

And after the deaths of Fang Sha and Cai Hong yesterday, two issues that needed to be resolved emerged.

One is whether these two people will appear in the apartment like the Gu King Fu Yiran after they disappear, losing all their previous memories, being given the identity of indigenous people, and becoming part of the underworld.

Also, there is Jiang Jie, whose body no one knows. They now need to make a paper man to move the soul out so that he will not try to murder Jiang Jie again.

"Have you tried it just now? Can you please take out the things on you?" He turned his head.

"I definitely tried..." Zhao Yinglai weakly raised the white paper with stick figures drawn on it beside the table, "Maybe I did it in the wrong order, and this ancestor, who I don't know whether it's the eldest sister or the eldest brother, refused to go down."

Not only did she refuse to go down, but in the more than an hour of picking and sorting the medicine, she experienced a series of "small accidents" such as the weight almost hitting her foot, the drawer where the medicine was placed almost hitting her head, some sharp debris hidden in the herbs that cut her fingertips, and her hand shaking so much that the knife for sorting the herbs almost stabbed into her artery.

If Jiang Jie wasn't a shadow puppet, he would have died eight hundred times this morning.

Bai Jinshu looked up and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

There were indeed quite a few stick figures drawn on the white paper that Zhao Yinglai held up. Not only were there any stick figures on the white paper, but Zhao Yinglai had also cut out quite a few during the conversation between the two of them. However, his drawing skills were not very impressive.

I don’t know if it was to cover up the fact that she could make shadow puppets, but these stick figures she drew were... particularly ugly.

Bai Jinshu had never seen such an ugly matchstick man.

【What kind of soul painter is this. 】

[To be honest, if I were something attached to the immortal, I wouldn't want to get off. What the hell is this painting? ]

[Why can stick figures be drawn in such unique ways? 】

[High EQ: Each has its own characteristics. Low EQ: A stick figure that can be made with just a few strokes can actually be drawn so ugly. Jiang Jie Daxian is really very capable.]

[Master, how about we find someone who can draw and give it a try? ]

[Master, maybe it’s not what you did that’s wrong, it’s the way you drew that’s wrong! ]

Bai Jinshu held his forehead slightly: "This will definitely not work."

If other people took paper figures made of matchsticks to the shallows, perhaps some souls who were eager to leave there would rush to possess the figures. After all, apart from possessing the paper figures, they had no other way to leave the Forgotten River.

But now Jiang Jie's soul has come out of the Wangchuan River. The difference between the shadow puppet of Jiang Jie carefully drawn by Zhao Yinglai and the stick figures in her hands is like heaven and earth.

The soul in her must be sick that would have abandoned the shadow puppet of Jiang Jie and turned into a simple stick figure.

"What should we do?" Zhao Ying shook the paper. "What should we do?"

It seems like the things on her won't come off.

"Go to the shallows," Bai Jinshu said firmly, "soak in the water, and the things on your body will have to come out."

The water of the Forgotten River can devour souls. Zhaoyinglai's shadow puppet is not a normal body. As long as it is soaked in water, the soul that possesses her will be dissolved.

At that time, it will either return to the river or enter a simple paper man. It will know which deal to choose.

Moreover, they did not come here to make paper figures, so as long as Zhao Yinglai's soul was dissolved by the river water, it would be fine. As for whether it was willing to enter the stickman or not, it would not cause any loss to them.

It's a good opportunity for us to go back and observe the shoal again during the day to see if we can get more information from it.

By the way, put some pressure on Wen Qi.

"Deputy Captain Xu," he looked up at Xu Ke who was not far away, "We found some ways to leave here through experiments last night. Do you want to experiment together this afternoon?"

"You found a solution?" Xu Ke's eyes lit up, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"We weren't sure yesterday. Jiang Jie and I just reviewed the situation and decided that this might be a way to leave here. Do you want to try it together this afternoon?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Ke suddenly became excited.

"Then we'll set off after lunch," Bai Jinshu nodded with a smile, "Wait for Jiang Jie and I to finish our work."

"Just the three of us?" Xu Ke was a little worried, "Should I call a few more people to join us?"

"No need," Bai Jinshu shook his head, "It's just an experiment. If it works, we can call a few more people to join us."

"Can I...can I come along too?" Wen Qi asked timidly.

"Wen Qi, you're going too?" Xu Ke looked surprised, "Just stay in the pharmacy..."

"I'm sorry, Brother Xu Ke," Wen Qi lowered her eyes and moved her lips a few times before a low voice came out, "Did I make it difficult for you? I will stay in the pharmacy for the next few days."

"That's not what I meant..." Xu Ke was a little at a loss, "I... I don't mean to imprison you here, I just think it's dangerous for a few of us to try to go back, and it might not be convenient for you, a girl, to follow us..."

"No!" Wen Qi suddenly raised her head, "I can endure hardships! Brother Xu Ke, I just don't want to be bored here. I won't have any free space after I go back."

"So you'll come with us?" Xu Ke scratched his head. "I don't mean to lock you up here, it's just..."

"I understand. If you don't take me back, it will be difficult for you. I won't make things difficult for you, Brother Xu Ke." Wen Qi nodded understandingly.

"Ew~" Zhao Yinglai shuddered and muttered softly, "Delicious tea."

Wen Qi's words reminded her of some very bad memories, such as the white flower heroines in the Gu field whose words gave people goosebumps...

But from another perspective, Wen Qi has Xu Ke in his grasp, and he is foolish.

Hearing Wen Qi's retreat, Xu Ke's guilt took over again, and he turned to look at them: "Can we take Wen Qi with us this afternoon?"

"Whatever," Bai Jinshu smiled, "You can take it if you want."

"Deputy Captain," a team member came over and whispered, "Take Wen Qi with you. Wen Qi might deliberately destroy the way back..."

Wen Qi obviously doesn't want to go back to the other world now. She wants to follow Xu Ke to experiment with a way to go back. It's hard to say whether she is hiding her intention to destroy the passage.

"I won't!" Wen Qi emphasized with eyes wide open, "I won't leave your sight before I go back. Brother Xu Ke will watch over me in the afternoon. Are you still worried?"

"I'm still here," Xu Ke replied in an awkward voice, "I'll be watching over Wen Qi, and she's really... under a lot of psychological pressure if she's left in the pharmacy."

"Then I'll come along," the team member obviously knew Xu Ke's character and changed the subject, "It will definitely be enough to leave two people to look after the captain."

Bai Jinshu nodded indifferently.

It didn't matter to him how many people came. The members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau pretended to be police officers who came to search for wanted criminals. He called Xu Ke to put pressure on Wen Qi and to prevent Dr. Fan from doubting their identities.

After all, it seems that the reason why Dr. Fan helped them is that he believed that the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau were the "government" that came in to capture fugitives, so he opened a back door for these righteous people.

As long as Bai Jinshu works with the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, he can rationalize his behavior and prevent Dr. Fan from doubting their identities and motives.

It’s just that they went to the shallows in the afternoon, so naturally other people had to check the whereabouts of Cai Hong and Fang Sha.

Skao: [@Tang Ling, in the afternoon, find a few people to go to the apartment building where Jiang Jie’s friend was found last time, and see if you can find Cai Hong and Fang Sha.]

Tang Ling: [OK]

Tang Ling: [Weren't these two people arrested last night? ]

Jiang Jie: [They ran away! We suspect they are in that apartment building. Go check it out.]

Tang Ling: [No problem.]

Among the exploration team members, only Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai know the truth about this place. Neither of them intends to share the relevant information with others to avoid any trouble, so they cooperate with each other and find an excuse to fool them.

Except for Chang William who needed to stay to watch the store, the other four exploration team members discussed in the group and decided that they could all take some time off to investigate the apartment building.

Bai Jinshu ignored their arrangements, put down his watch, sat down next to Huai Jiamu and leaned back in his chair, and happened to look at Wen Qi who was standing next to Xu Ke.

"Wen Qi has a secret." Huai Jiamu's voice sounded.

"Yeah," Bai Jinshu hummed through his nose, "I like her very much."

Even though he has been frustrated many times, he still keeps coming to Scarao. If he is not a masochist, then he is asking for help.

What else can a person who witnessed Fang Sha and Cai Hong's inexplicable death at the hands of Skao ask of him?

Huai Jiamu looked up silently, and looked at him with a look that seemed to be accusing him of his choice of words.

"I just think she's interesting, and different from many of the stupid people before," Bai Jinshu emphasized, "Everyone has a desire to appreciate talent."

He retracted his gaze, grabbed Huai Jiamu's finger and made a pistol gesture: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish."

He held the pistol that Huai Jiamu had pointed out and pointed it forward: "Snap."

*

afternoon.

After making up a random excuse and fooling the old man, the five people in the pharmacy finally set out on the road to the shallows.

Compared to the middle of the night, it is obviously much more convenient to move around during the day. After changing subways a few times and taking a bus for more than ten minutes, we arrived near yesterday's warehouse.

It seemed that the soul in Zhao Yinglai discovered that they were planning to return to the Forgotten River. Along the way, he was almost hit by a car or hit by things falling from the roadside. He was unlucky wherever he went. It could be called a modern version of "Final Destination".

Zhao Yinglai was busy hiding from the Grim Reaper and had no time to talk. Along the way, only Bai Jinshu was explaining the situation in the shallows.

Regarding the situation of the shallows, he copied Fang Sha's description completely, saying that they had been walking towards the edge of the city last night and found a shallow beach at the edge. The shallows were covered with fog, and there were human figures in the fog, so they suspected that as long as they kept moving forward in the thick fog, they might return to the previous world.

While saying this, Bai Jinshu had been observing Wen Qi's expression. It sounded like Wen Qi had no idea what was going on with the shallows, and there was no sign of anything wrong in his eyes.

Bai Jinshu withdrew his gaze and tapped his forearm with his fingertips thoughtfully.

The five of them talked as they walked, and when they reached the edge of the shallows, there was no one around.

"Is this the shallow beach?" Xu Ke looked at the shallow beach in front of him, stretched out his hand and tried to throw a stone into it like Zhaoyinglai did yesterday.

As expected, the stone did not hit the shadows.

"Let's go in and try." Zhao Yinglai couldn't wait to walk forward, ready to pretend to fall and sprain his ankle when the time was right and then immerse himself in the water.

Even a clay figure would have some temper. She had been tormented a lot by the ancestor in her body along the way. Now she didn't intend to part ways amicably and let it transfer to the paper figure. She was going to find a pleasing piece of stone ground and lie down on it, turning left and right three times, trying to soak her whole body thoroughly, and it would be best if the thing on her body was soaked to death.

Xu Ke and the other two team members saw hope of leaving here, and couldn't wait to follow.

The three of them walked in front, and Bai Jinshu followed slowly behind with one hand in his pocket. Just as Zhao Yinglai in front found a puddle of water that he liked and pretended to sprain his ankle and threw himself into it, he suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure in the thick fog.

It was a grey shadow not far from him. It seemed to be a soul that had just entered here, and its features had not yet been swallowed up by the water of the Forgetful River and erased. Compared with those blurry grey shadows, the outline of this shadow was more obvious, and one could even vaguely see the shapes of its facial features.

Bai Jinshu stared at the blurry facial features for a long time, and finally remembered what made this shadow look familiar.

The facial features of this shadow are a bit like He Chuling, the host of the same foundation.

The gray shadow drifted towards the deeper parts of the Forgotten River. His eyes focused and he suddenly chased in that direction.

The author has something to say:

Wen Qi is the kind of smart kid that Aoshen likes who has not taken the right path, so when the smart kid plots against him and needs something from him, he gets angry and suppresses her (x)

Skao (to Wen Qi): You must not go astray.
