Chapter 497 Above the Posa (32) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]

"Jiang...Brother Jiang Jie," Wen Qi grabbed Jiang Jie's sleeve, "What's wrong with us?"

She was a little afraid to meet Scario's gaze.

Everything she saw in the revolving lantern just now made her a little confused. For a moment, Wen Qi was a little afraid to look at Scarao, so she could only quickly grab Jiang Jie who was nearest to her and change the subject.

"I don't know what happened to you either," Zhao Yinglai scratched his head in confusion, "When we came here, you two were lying in the water, as if you had drowned and lost consciousness, so I came over to help you up."

She also wanted to ask Wen Qi what was going on.

Zhao Yinglai looked at Wen Qi blankly, then at Skao, and cast questioning glances at both of them.

"Brother Faye," she finally chose to ask Bai Jinshu, "Did you two encounter any danger? Why did you fall into the water?"

Bai Jinshu glanced at Wen Qi who avoided her sight, blinked slightly, and said in a confused tone: "Me? I don't know. I kept walking forward to catch up with that familiar gray shadow, and then I fainted while walking. Maybe Wen Qi also approached this area to save me, but I didn't expect that she also fainted. There must be something strange about this place."

Zhaoyinglai:?

Are you kidding me?

The look in her eyes was extremely indescribable for a moment.

What does it mean to faint while walking? Skao, could you please put more effort into your story? There is no electricity in the water, and how could the two of you be like the Calabash Brothers saving grandpa, sending them one after another?

Besides, what's wrong with that area? She dragged you out when you two fainted there. If there was a problem, why didn't she faint?

Zhao Yinglai looked at Scarao silently, signaling with his eyes that he should come up with a credible excuse and not try to fool people by saying there was something strange going on, because there were two policemen here.

Bai Jinshu looked back calmly.

Isn't this believable? Apart from the fact that this might be the Forgotten River and that the revolving lantern will be unlocked after entering the deep water area, what he said is true.

Zhaoyinglai: ...

She looked away speechlessly and looked down at Wen Qi: "Wen Qi, do you know what happened?"

"Skaoge... just now he was walking towards the deep water, and he fainted while walking," Wen Qi said in a low voice, "I saw him fainted and was very anxious, so I wanted to pull him out of the water, but as soon as I pulled Skaoge up, he fainted too."

Zhao Yinglai looked at Wen Qi and Sikao strangely, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Could it be true? Skao chased that figure into the deep water and fainted. Wen Qi ran slowly and fell behind. She happened to see the whole process of Skao fainting, so she hurried forward to drag him out of the water, but she didn't expect that she would faint too?

Her statement was similar to that of Skao... But didn't this girl always try to get close to them and call them "Brother Faye"? Why did she suddenly change to "Brother Skao"?

Did Scario threaten the little girl?

At this moment, Xu Ke and the blue-clothed team members also nodded repeatedly to confirm what Bai Jinshu and Wen Qi said: "There is indeed something strange here, Jiang Jie."

The man in blue clothes had been worried that Wen Qi would run away. Now that he saw that she didn't run away, his expression suddenly improved a lot and his attitude became more positive: "Jiang Jie, didn't you notice just now? As long as we go in the direction of Skao and Wen Qi, it will be difficult to take a step. We have to use all our strength to take each step forward."

Xu Ke also nodded: "That area is not normal. It was very difficult for us to walk after entering there. It returned to normal after we left that area."

"...So that's how it is," Zhao Yinglai pretended to be enlightened and looked at the place where Skao and Wenqi had just fallen. "I was a little too anxious when I saw Skao and Wenqi fall into the water just now. I thought it was my own problem. It turns out that there is something wrong with this puddle of water."

Someone directly said in the barrage:

[That's not right. When Daxian went into the water to drag Ao Shen and Wen Qi, his movements didn't seem to be blocked at all.]

【Jiang Jie must have lied. 】

[The way Jiang Jie Daxian was drowning just now was in stark contrast to the two policemen around him. If the two policemen hadn't been in a hurry to save people, they would have noticed something was wrong at a glance.]

[So is there something wrong with Jiang Jie? ]

[No, what's wrong with Jiang Jie Daxian? He is not a human being, so it is not normal for him to be impressed by others.]

[…Oh, that’s right.]

[…Yes, he is not a human, it is normal that he is not affected, he is just an innocent Wong Tai Sin…]

【Huang Daxian disguised as a human record.jpg】

[You are such a great immortal, and you are still transforming to ask for a title. You have too many flaws. 】

…

Some people in the barrage noticed that Jiang Jie was lying, and Bai Jinshu, who did not see it all, also noticed the subtle part in her tone.

This time it was his turn to cast a puzzled look at Zhao Yinglai.

Zhaoyinglai: ...

She silently gestured the words "I'll tell you later".

"When we got close to each other just now, we found that it was difficult to walk in the direction of Scarao and Wen Qi. Every step forward was difficult." Xu Ke and Lan Yizi did not notice the interaction between the two people. Instead, they stood in the water and frowned, looking in the direction where Bai Jinshu and Wen Qi were just now. "Could it be that this sea is the edge of this world, and as long as we swim out along it, we can leave this world, so they fainted after entering the deep water area?"

"This is difficult to deal with," the man in blue couldn't help but look at Wen Qi, "some of us can't swim."

It’s no big deal that the team members can’t swim. We are all adults. If this is the only way to leave here, he believes that everyone will choose to learn to swim and leave.

Besides, there is an easier way, which is to find a boat.

But the question is whether Wen Qi will cooperate with them.

You know, Wen Qi's original family has a lot of problems. She has been abused by her parents since she was a child. The other world is not a place she must go back to. If the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau had not received the task to enter here to find Wen Qi, Wen Qi would definitely choose to survive in this world where no one knows her.

If the only way to leave here is by water, then no one knows whether Wen Qi will cooperate in traveling such a long distance.

Receiving such a blatant gaze from the man in blue, Wen Qi frowned in disgust and turned her head to avoid Jiang Jie.

"Are you feeling a little cold?" Zhao Yinglai misunderstood the meaning of Wen Qi's actions, and looked at her already soaked skirt and the white mist around her. "Why don't we go back and change clothes first?"

The image of the five people here now is really not good.

Skao and Wen Qi, who fell in the water, were soaked all over. They both had long hair, and the ends of their hair were dripping when they sat up from the water. Before they could say a few words to each other, the clothes belonging to Zhao Yinglai that was draped over Wen Qi's back was soaked by her wet hair.

If they continue to stay here like this, Wen Qi and Skao will probably catch a cold soon.

Zhao Yinglai herself was almost soaked, with only the clothes above the waist still barely dry. The rest of her clothes were all soaked when she rushed into the deep water to save people.

Compared with these three people, Xu Ke and Lan Yizi were much better off, because they were not able to walk into the deep water at all. So only a little bit of their trouser legs were wet, almost halfway up their calves.

Hearing Zhaoying's suggestion to change clothes, Xu Ke took a look at the situation of the three people and immediately agreed: "Jiang Jie, you have to go back and change clothes, you go back first."

"Deputy Captain Xu, aren't you joining us?" Zhao Yinglai looked at him strangely.

"Xiao Liu and I will study this puddle," Xu Ke pointed at the blue clothes beside him, "You three are soaked, change your clothes quickly."

"This beach may not be safe," Zhao Yinglai advised subconsciously, "Brother Faye and Wen Qi both fainted here..."

Shoal, who was able to knock down the captain of the Foundation's special space organization, must be something more than a simple person, right?

She subconsciously looked at Scaro's expression, and saw the words "let it be" on his face.

Zhao Yinglai raised his eyelids: [You won’t stop me? ]

Bai Jinshu shook his head slightly.

Just then, the man in blue clothes spoke up, "The fainting of Skao and Wenqi might be related to them entering that area of ​​water. The deputy captain and I will try to find some boats or something to see if we can get through here. Even if someone on the boat faints, they will faint in the boat. Another person standing in the shallow water can pull the boat back with a rope."

Having said that, Zhao Yinglai had no reason to stop them. He could only shrug and say, "Then you two should be careful."

Xu Ke and Lan Yishi nodded at the same time. Bai Jinshu also stood up from the water swiftly and followed Zhao Yinglai forward.

"Fa...Skao," Zhao Yinglai couldn't help but glance at the dripping corner of his clothes, "Why don't you take off your clothes and wring them out?"

Covered in so much water, one could easily imagine how long Scarao had been unconscious in the water.

With this dripping clothes and loose long hair, Zhao Yinglai was afraid that passers-by would mistake him for a water ghost when he went out on the road.

It's the underworld...it makes sense to have some water ghosts...right? She thought weakly.

[What? Aoshen takes off his clothes? I'll come quickly! ]

[Screen recording has been turned on friends! The image quality has been cut to 4K, come back to the forum to pick it up! ]

[Which is the special building? 】

[Friends who don’t know the special post, please point me to the red post in the [News Announcement] section of the Investor Forum: [I heard that an E-level project was upgraded to B. Who did it? ]]

[I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! ]

[Hehehehe God is going to take off his clothes hehe...]

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Bai Jinshu tilted his head and curled the corners of his mouth, as if he had seen the content on the bullet screen, and slowly uttered two words: "No."

The comments were filled with grief:

[It's so uncomfortable to wear wet clothes! For your health! To avoid catching a cold! Shouldn't you take them off and wring them out? ]

[That’s right, you’ll catch a cold if you blow the wind like this! ]

[Just take it off, oh my god! My friend is dying of cancer, this is her last wish! ]

[I am her friend, I want to see it. ]

[I am in the same ward as her friend, and I want to see it too.]

[I am also in this ward. This is a three-person ward. I want to see it too.]

[I am not here to break up this ward, I am here to join this ward, I want it too. ]

[Support Jiang Jie Daxian for his just exposing of Aoshen! ]

【\江颉/\江颉/\江颉/】

【\Wong Tai Sin/\Wong Tai Sin/\Wong Tai Sin/】

Zhao Yinglai suddenly felt a chill on his back for no reason and shivered.

"Hiss, I won't catch a cold, will I?" She put down the potato chips in her hand, and found a bag of cold granules from home. While controlling Jiang Jie to continue walking forward, she poured a cup of hot water and muttered softly, "Don't let Wen Qi and Skao, who are soaked all over, not catch a cold, but I do."

The barrage naturally didn't know that Wen Qi behind Jiang Jie shuddered with a chill. In the unknown space, Zhao Yinglai, who had gulped down a large glass of Isatis root, finally turned the topic to the two people who stayed behind.

"By the way, Brother Faye," Zhaoying looked over, "are those two people okay staying there?"

"It's okay," Bai Jinshu said casually, "They can't get in."

"There is cognitive interference in the depths of this shallow area. Under normal circumstances, one cannot find the direction to enter, and will only mistake other directions as the direction to go deeper into the shallows."

What's more, both he and Wen Qi fell into the water just now, and Xu Ke and another team member in blue clothes were unable to break through the shackles of the shallows and run over. It can be seen that their determination to enter the deep water area is not very firm. Even if they are given time to let them go in, they may just be trapped on the periphery.

He walked to the place where he fainted by comparing the map. Now without the two marking points of him and Wen Qi, this shallow beach looks the same in all directions. There are also location rules that can cause people walking in it to lose their way, thinking they are heading towards the depths, but in fact they are heading in other directions. So Bai Jinshu is not really worried that anything will happen to these two people.

The most likely scenario is that these two people thought they were heading deeper, but were actually heading in another direction, and ended up getting further and further away from where they entered the shallows.

But Xu Ke is not a fool. Any mentally normal adult would know how to get home if they get lost in the city. Would he still worry about how these two people would get back after they got too far away?

That's not necessary.

"I haven't asked you yet," Bai Jinshu raised his chin, "Wen Qi, Xu Ke and his team members and I all had great difficulty entering the deep water area. You should have had an easy time entering, right?"

Zhao Yinglai: "Ah... me."

Zhao Yinglai quickly signaled with his eyes that Wen Qi was next to Bai Jinshu, and it was not appropriate to say these things now. After all, Wen Qi didn't know that she was not a human, no matter if she was the non-human of "Huang Daxian" or Jiang Jie was actually the non-human of shadow puppet.

"It's okay," Bai Jinshu looked at Wen Qi, "Just tell me directly."

He believed that after seeing so many revelations about Scarao, Wen Qi had already realized that there was no need for him to create a substitute.

He originally wanted to use the time pressure to force Wen Qi to tell the truth, but who knew that due to an accident, Wen Qi saw what kind of person Scarao was in the slide show, and he also learned some of Wen Qi's secrets by accident.

For example, she can see ghosts.

Now both of them know what kind of person the other is. Even if Zhaoying said that they came here to find the rules, Wen Qi would probably automatically translate it into "Skao plays with those idiots in that world like playing with dogs, and when he got tired of it, he came to another world to have fun."

Thinking of this, Bai Jinshu looked at Wen Qi and raised his eyebrows, successfully gaining a somewhat complicated look.

When Wen Qi saw his revolving lantern, she would naturally realize that the other party had seen her revolving lantern.

I wonder how Wen Qi will react when she finds out someone has learned her secret?

"You two must have done something behind my back," Zhao Yinglai complained silently, nudging Skao with his elbow, "It was indeed easy for me to get in, but what's wrong with this river? Can you explain it clearly again?"

Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows: "On the contrary, I know it very well now."

After fainting once, he quickly understood what was going on with the gray shadow that looked very similar to He Chuling.

This shallow area should not be called the Forgotten River. It should most likely be a tributary of the Forgotten River or a very marginal shallow area. The living souls are blocked from entering the world of the dead, but if they insist on entering, they will "die".

This "death" should be a state of suspended animation. The real situation is that the soul that enters the Forgotten River will never be able to leave, but the time has not come for the living soul to die, so the Forgotten River will devour part of his soul and complete the process of "death".

The lost soul is swallowed by the river and wanders on the river all day long. The person who has lost his soul will become physically worse and worse. Unless someone can "call" the soul back, he will eventually fall into a coma.

This is probably how He Chuling's soul was lost.

He Chuling lost her soul into a world outside her own world. She could not call it back just by "shouting". Besides, their original world was an absolutely materialistic world, and there would be no "master of metaphysics" with real skills.

The fact that the souls other than He Chuling can float on the river means that they are not complete. Combined with the legend of the Forgotten River, these souls must have mistakenly entered here or are waiting for someone.

Of course, these words couldn't be said too directly. Bai Jinshu roughly hinted at it. Knowing that this was the Wangchuan River, Zhao Yinglai quickly followed his train of thought and understood the actual situation of the river according to Bai Jinshu's meaning.

It's simply that an incomplete soul cannot live a normal life in the underworld, so in addition to the ghosts who voluntarily enter the Forgotten River, those incomplete soul fragments will also appear in the river, waiting for their remaining souls to come to the underworld and become a complete individual.

The wanted criminals who make substitutes use these residual souls waiting for the main soul to create a substitute, and then return to the world of the living to destroy the paper figures they are possessed by, thereby achieving the purpose of escaping punishment.

The reason why Zhao Yinglai can come and go freely is simply because she is now using a shadow puppet, a body without a soul.

The Forgotten River targets souls, so naturally it cannot do anything to her.

But if that’s the case... Bai Jinshu looked at Wen Qi thoughtfully.

He was fine after he went in because what was separated was not actually his soul, but Scario's synchronization rate with him. Zhao Yinglai was fine after she went in because there was no soul in her body at all. Then why was Wen Qi fine?

Wen Qi should be an ordinary human being, right?

Bai Jinshu's gaze was too obvious that Zhao Yinglai couldn't help but look at him, and then at Wen Qi.

"What's wrong?" She blinked.

Bai Jinshuo was at his leisure.

Wen Qi shuddered weakly, feeling as if her vest was about to be stripped off.

She wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally silently pulled Jiang Jie's coat.

She saw Scarao's revolving lantern, and Scarao should have seen hers as well. She was not sure how much he saw, but based on the character shown in Scarao's revolving lantern, Wen Qi felt that he would definitely be interested in her after reading those contents.

And now he doesn't even avoid talking to her! This attitude of "I've seen through everything about you, so I can control you" makes Wen Qi's animal-like instincts go crazy.

This guy, Skao, is really evil! It doesn't feel good to be targeted by him.

She glanced at Skao secretly, and then looked at Jiang Jie silently.

Jiang Jie has never appeared in Scarao's repertoire. Does he know what Scarao has done before?

"Wen Qi?" Bai Jinshu called her name calmly, "Do you seem to have something to say?"

Wen Qi: "Uh... um... yes."

Her brain worked quickly and she immediately thought of a good idea.

It doesn't matter that Scaro is interested in her, just quickly transfer his interest to someone else!

Divert trouble to others!

"I suddenly remembered some details!" she blurted out, "about Lin Jianyu!"

"Oh? What?" Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows.

"Regarding Lin Jianyu's little ghost... the way to deal with the little ghost," Wen Qi swallowed, "the little ghost has been worshipped by Lin Jianyu for nearly thirty years. It is no longer a simple ghost. He is unwilling to go to the normal reincarnation, and no one can force him to go. The person who helped Lin Jianyu make the ghost card thirty years ago can't do anything to the little ghost now. It is impossible to break up his soul and prevent him from reincarnation according to Lin Jianyu's idea."

"So how was it handled?" Bai Jin asked.

"They sealed that brat away."

"You didn't seem to have mentioned this before?" Zhao Ying interrupted.

Wen Qi said before that she didn’t know.

"I didn't think of it before..." Wen Qi said weakly.

She had originally thought that these people had a grudge against Lin Jianyu, and planned to provide clues little by little, so that they could go back and unlock the seal, and by the way let the little ghost take away Lin Jianyu's entire family.

She had known about this for a long time. When she was wandering around, she met Lin Jianyu's ex-girlfriend who died in childbirth. She learned the truth about how he became rich and that the little ghost had been sealed away, but she had never intended to intervene.

After all, this kid was raised by Lin Jianyu and has no rationality. He killed nine people before being sealed. After he comes out, he might kill the person who let him out.

Although Lin Jianyu had some connections with that group of people, it was difficult for her to sneak in and release the little devil, and it was even more difficult to protect herself after releasing him. She was not willing to get herself involved.

Lin Jianyu's ex-girlfriend was also unlucky. She was too soft-hearted to abort the child, and as a result, she died of dystocia and the child. After becoming a ghost, she was the mother of the little ghost, and should have been able to have some influence on him. However, the little ghost had part of his soul separated by their method from the beginning, and he had no rationality at all.

If she were to choose, this irrational killer should be locked up downstairs.

But now Scarao has set his sights on her. In order to avoid becoming part of a revolving door, Wen Qi decides to sell the little ghost as soon as possible.

"Lin Jianyu found someone to separate the ghost's soul," she hinted positively, "The person he found is named Luke in English. He is very famous in Southeast Asia. He must have a lot of innocent blood on his hands."

So go find someone to kill this master and stop staring at her.

Bai Jinshu touched his chin.

Wen Qi is now taking emergency shelter and throwing out the master in an attempt to divert his attention, but accidentally provides a very interesting piece of information.

The little ghost's soul has been separated.

Could it be that the remaining soul is in the Forgotten River?

He looked at Zhao Yinglai and blinked subtly.

Zhaoyinglai:?

【Me?】 She pointed at herself.

Bai Jinshu nodded: [If not you, then who else?].

Isn't it that Zhao Yinglai is the only one who can enter the Forgotten River without fainting?

Who says she has no soul? She is such a useful tool.

Zhaoyinglai: ...

The author has something to say:

Wen Qi, you are working in the wrong direction. If you are eager to harm others, Ao Shen will find it boring. If you try to divert the blame, Ao Shen will fight with you.

He is such a boring person (x)

Zhaoyinglai: Why me again?
