Chapter 501 Above the Posa (36) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]

As night falls, colorful neon lights light up on the commercial street, and men and women shuttle among these lights. The scene is no different from any normal world in a modern background.

Bai Jinshu was sitting in a noodle soup restaurant, holding his chin and looking at his combat watch which had been vibrating for a long time.

It was obviously just a temporary group chat for exchanging messages, but with the presence of two lively people, Zhao Yinglai and Qiu Zihan, it was almost used as a social software in this unknown space.

A few minutes ago, Zhaoyinglai, which had been dormant for five or six hours, suddenly became active for some reason and posted dozens of messages.

Jiang Jie: [So tired.]

Jiang Jie: [There is a feeling of helplessness like a 90-year-old left-behind man carrying 60 buckets of water to water the fields under the scorching sun, only to find that he was watering other people’s fields.]*

Jiang Jie: [Is there anyone who can make the decision for me? ]

Jiang Jie: [Just because I am not a human being, I don’t have human rights, right?]

…

Qiu Zihan had just finished taking a shower and was drying his hair outside. When he saw the group chat message, he replied excitedly: [Brother Jiang Jie, what’s wrong with you? ]

Jiang Jie: [I was abused.]

Qiu Zihan was shocked: [What's wrong? Who dares to abuse you, Jiang Jie brother! ]

Jiang Jie: [@斯卡奥@斯卡奥@斯卡奥, Zi Han, will you make the decision for me? ]

After more than ten seconds, Qiu Zihan said: [Sorry, I wasn't the one using the phone just now.]

Jiang Jie: [Is it possible that the Foundation's combat watch can only be used by me? ]

Bai Jinshu: ...

Is Zhao Yinglai so free? Is he still free to chat in the group? There are 99+ messages in the group, all from Zhao Yinglai and the chatty Qiu Zihan.

Skao: [@Jiang Jie, have you found someone? ]

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Yinglai, who was still chatting in the group, disappeared instantly, and Qiu Zihan also shut up immediately.

After more than ten seconds, Master Tang Ling came out and asked: [What is Jiang Jie looking for? Xu Ke and another team member just came back covered in water, but the old man forced them to take a shower. Isn't Jiang Jie with them?]

Skao: [No, she needs to go to the deep water to find someone.]

Xu Ke and the man in blue probably searched in the shallows for a whole day but couldn't find a way to get into the deep water. As the sky was getting darker, they had no choice but to return to the pharmacy.

Thinking of this, he added: [Don't tell them that Jiang Jie is also at the shallows, find a way to send them away.]

Tang Ling: [OK, got it.]

It seems that Jiang Jie might bring back some information that these indigenous people are not suitable to know. It is best to send them away early to prevent them from hearing anything when Jiang Jie comes back at night.

Tang Ling: [Does this captain need to find a reason to move out? ]

Skao: [No need.]

Bai Jinshu had just sent the message when he heard the owner's voice: "The long-haired beauty over there, your meal is ready."

Bai Jinshu tidied up the hair beside his ears and stood up as usual to take the noodle soup he packed: "Thank you, and there is also a bowl of vegetable porridge."

"A man... Sorry," the shop owner's eyes flashed with embarrassment, "Well, you didn't tie your hair up when you went out..."

"I just washed it," Bai Jinshu smiled at him indifferently, "It's not dry yet."

"Oh, your vegetable porridge," the shop owner quickly turned around and handed over a bowl of packaged vegetable porridge, "Have a nice walk."

Bai Jinshu nodded slightly, carried two packing boxes, stepped over the threshold and started walking back.

It only took about ten minutes to walk from the commercial street to the pharmacy. He walked slowly on purpose. By the time he stood at the door of the pharmacy, the hot vegetable porridge in his hand had turned warm.

"Brother Fa Ye, you're back!" Qiu Zihan stood at the door and looked out.

"Well," Bai Jinshu glanced at him, put the vegetable porridge on the counter, and then turned around to look for Tang Ling. "Where's your sister?"

"My sister is out with those team members," Qiu Zihan explained, "Brother Faye, do you have something to do with her?"

"Just asking." Bai Jinshu shook his head.

He didn't expect Tang Ling to be so quick and had already sent the other team members out of the pharmacy.

"What is this?" Qiu Zihan curiously pushed aside the bag that Bai Jinshu brought back. "Brother Fa Ye, is this your dinner? You eat such a vegetarian diet?"

"It's not mine," Bai Jinshu pointed at Huai Jiamu with his chin, and took out the vegetable porridge and handed it to him, "It's his. Patients should eat light food."

Huai Jiamu lay upright on the bamboo bed, not even raising his hand to take the vegetable porridge, with a look that said, "You're not going to feed me this?"

Bai Jinshu curled his lips and said unceremoniously: "Can't you get up?"

Was the person who suddenly sat up after drinking one-fifth of the Chinese medicine just now a ghost?

"Not really," Huai Jiamu lowered his eyes and said innocently, "After I got up just now, the wound started bleeding again. I asked Qiu Zihan to change the bandage again."

As if to prove his words, Qiu Zihan spoke up beside him without noticing anything: "Yes, yes, Brother Faye's wound is very strange. It hasn't healed in a day and a night."

Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes, a hint of disgust flashing across his eyes: "Maybe it will heal after tonight."

As long as Zhao Yinglai can find that little devil, once Lin Jianyu dies tonight, all the things he made will naturally disappear with him.

He doesn't need to know what Lin Jianyu did, he just needs to solve the problem fundamentally.

"Ah?" Qiu Zihan was bewildered, "Why?"

"Just a random guess." Bai Jinshu glanced at him, not accustomed to Qiu Zihan's expression. "You are so free? Then why don't you feed the patients?"

"Okay, okay," Qiu Zihan rubbed his hands together, "I'm good at taking care of people. I'll do it!"

"...No need," Huai Jiamu, who looked weak just now, suddenly regained his strength, "I can do it myself."

Bai Jinshu snorted and folded his arms across his chest.

Only Qiu Zihan was still kept in the dark: "No, I am really good at taking care of people. My sister was injured several times and it was me who took care of her! Trust me, I am very experienced!"

"Really?" Huai Jiamu coughed lightly, raised one hand and looked at Bai Jinshu, "Help me?"

Bai Jinshu sighed in dissatisfaction: "Alright, alright, just lie down and I'll feed you. If you sit up again, what if you tear the wound open again?"

If Huai Jiamu wasn't injured now...

He picked up the vegetable porridge from the side and looked at the sky outside the pharmacy.

It was getting late, and Zhao Yinglai didn't know how long he would have to search.

However, no one expected that it would take Zhao Yinglai much longer to come back than they thought. Even when the pharmacy closed at night, Zhao Yinglai still hadn't returned.

After seeking Bai Jinshu's opinion, Tang Ling did not close the door directly, but covered it lightly, leaving only a small gap.

Normally, there were only three people in the pharmacy: Bai Jinshu, Zhao Yinglai, and Chang William. Tonight, at most there would be one more patient, Huai Jiamu, and one person, Wen Qi, who had nowhere to go. However, since Bai Jinshu mentioned in the group in the evening that Zhao Yinglai would bring back information, Qiu Zihan and Tang Ling, who could stay up late, also stayed.

Qiu Zihan, as the most energetic teenager, waited with great interest until after two in the morning. However, he finally couldn't stand staying up late for several consecutive days and fell asleep on a chair, unconscious.

I don’t know how much time had passed, Qiu Zihan woke up from his sleep and saw a strange figure standing in front of Scarao in the dim pharmacy, emitting a strange temperature and eerie ghostly aura.

The strange figure stretched out his left hand, seemingly heading for the neck of Skao, who was lying on the bamboo bed.

Qiu Zihan was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly shouted, "Brother Fa, be careful!"

There’s a ghost!

The next second, the entire pharmacy was instantly bright as day.

The "ghost" took back his hand from turning on the light switch and stared at him dimly: "What are you careful about?"

Qiu Zihan slapped his chest several times: "...Brother Jiang Jie, you are like this, you scare me to death."

Jiang Jie stood in the middle of the pharmacy. Not only was he covered in water, but he was also wrapped in a lot of green stripes that looked like water plants. He was dripping with water. If it weren't for that familiar face, he would have believed that he was a water ghost.

"I also want to know why I am like this," Zhao Yinglai said with a wry smile, "Why don't you ask Skao?"

If Scaro hadn't asked her to go to the bottom of the Lethe River to find the child, she wouldn't have become like this, and she wouldn't have soaked in the water for nearly ten hours. After finally finding the little kid, she sent a message in the temporary group chat, but found that no one replied. She was so scared that she hurried back to the pharmacy, only to find that no one replied because no one was awake at the moment. The entire team was asleep except her!

Is there any humanity left?

Doesn’t anyone remember that one of your team members is soaking in the cold water of the Forgotten River looking for someone?

Even though it's really late now, at least leave someone to keep watch!

It was such a big pharmacy, with seven people inside, and all of them were sleeping so peacefully. No one thought that they had an unlucky teammate named Jiang Jie who had been staying up late for four consecutive days, right?

Even if she was Wong Tai Sin, she would still die suddenly from lack of sleep. And she is not Wong Tai Sin. She is just an innocent human who controls the shadow puppets.

Is it human to make people stay up for four consecutive nights? The ghostly aura that Qiu Zihan saw was her resentment!

Resentment!!

In the dim pharmacy, Zhao Yinglai looked at Scarao's sleeping profile and suddenly felt furious and wanted to strangle the culprit to death.

Qiu Zihan woke up at this time.

Qiu Zihan's roar, coupled with the sudden light coming on, woke up everyone in the pharmacy.

Bai Jinshu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Yinglai's hand: "I thought you were going to strangle me to death, but you just turned on the light?"

"You woke up early?" Zhao Yinglai gritted his teeth, "Then why didn't you reply to the message in the temporary group chat?"

"No, I just woke up." Bai Jinshu propped up his chin, curled the corners of his mouth, and yawned. "Just looking at your expression, it looks like you want to strangle me to death."

Jiang Jie was just a shadow puppet, but his eyes were now blazing with anger. He had no doubt that Zhao Yinglai had just intended to strangle him to death.

Originally, Scarao was definitely in a bad mood because he was woken up, but when he saw Zhao Yinglai looking so miserable, he was no longer angry.

Calculating the time, she had been looking for someone in the Forgotten River for more than ten hours.

Late at night, most investors said goodnight to each other and went to bed as Bai Jin narrated to them to fall asleep. Only a few comments passed by:

[Ao Shen, I'm going to complain. Jiang Jie just wanted to strangle you to death! ]

[Jiang Jie has been soaking in the water for more than ten hours, and his resentment is so strong that it looks like he could support ten evil sword immortals.]

[What happened? What happened? I was sleeping on the live broadcast and was suddenly woken up. 】

[Wake up, Aoshen, who always only exerts his strength at night, is about to start the midnight show again. 】

…

In the unknown space, Bai Jinshu yawned, looked at Huai Jiamu and Wen Qi who were also woken up, and blinked sleepily: "Did you find anyone?"

"Found it..." Yawning is contagious. Bai Jinshu infected everyone around him and yawned one after another. Zhao Yinglai also let Jiang Jie yawn in order to fit in. "How can I come back if I haven't found it?"

God knows how many people she searched for under the Lethe River before she found that tiny baby shadow.

"But, I think..." Zhao Yinglai lowered his voice and moved closer, "This kid might not... Why should I rely on you to hide?!"

She glared angrily.

"Your clothes are dripping," Skao said tersely, pointing to her still dripping clothes.

Zhao Yinglai: "...Of course I'll drip if I stay underwater for more than ten hours."

"Brother Jiang Jie, do you want to take a shower?" Wen Qi said softly, "There is a shower room in the pharmacy."

"Wash! Wash now!" Zhao Yinglai took out a bottle from his body viciously, placed the bottle full of water from the Forgotten River heavily on the counter, and walked towards the shower room with a ferocious face.

"What is this... Ouch." Qiu Zihan came over curiously and was about to pick it up to have a look, but was hit by a ruler that Bai Jinshu picked up from the side.

"Don't touch it," Bai Jinshu glanced at him sideways, "You know what it is, so you touch it."

Qiu Zihan took his hand back in grievance: "What is that... What is Brother Jiang Jie looking for? Isn't it just this bottle?"

It doesn't look like it took ten hours to find this, does it? It's just a very ordinary beverage bottle.

Bai Jinshu propped up his chin, and suddenly looked at Huai Jiamu and said, "In order to make the little ghost listen to him, Lin Jianyu cut off a part of the soul when he made the ghost card, and threw this part of the soul into another world."

Huai Jiamu frowned slightly: "Here?"

Bai Jinshu nodded affirmatively.

Qiu Zihan's attention was quickly drawn away: "Who is Lin Jianyu?"

"The person who caused the captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau to be seriously injured," Qiu Zihan and Tang Ling were not there when Wen Qi said this, Bai Jinshu explained casually, "The little ghost he raised was a dead baby born after his ex-girlfriend had a difficult childbirth. A few years ago, he killed nine people in a newly opened shopping mall under Lin Jianyu's company, which alarmed the police to investigate..."

By the time Zhao Ying came out of the shower room after washing off the water from the Wangchuan River, everyone in the pharmacy had already woken up from the sleepiness of being woken up in the middle of the night. Qiu Zihan looked at him with shining eyes: "Brother Jiang Jie, so you went to look for the remaining soul of that little ghost?!"

"Um... yes, that's right," Zhao Yinglai hadn't reacted yet, "How did you know?"

"That's what Brother Faye said," Qiu Zihan pointed at Bai Jinshu, "Brother Jiang Jie, you're so powerful. You can find anyone you want!"

Zhao Yinglai: "...I think you must have misunderstood something."

She was able to find Fu Yiran purely because she had his life card in her hand, and she was able to find the little ghost purely because his appearance was fundamentally different from the other souls at the bottom of the Forgotten River. As long as she searched long enough, she would definitely find him.

But now Qiu Zihan looked at her as if he was looking at a messenger of justice.

"That Lin Jianyu is such a piece of shit!" He said angrily, "Not only did he turn his own son into a ghost, he even let the ghost kill people. Why didn't you arrest such a bad guy, Captain?"

"Because the investigation was stopped halfway due to pressure." Huai Jiamu followed Bai Jinshu's gaze and looked at Wen Qi who was sitting in the corner of the room.

Ever since Jiang Jie came in, Bai Jinshu's gaze had been looking thoughtfully in one direction. He looked in that direction and could only see Wen Qi.

Compared with Qiu Zihan, who becomes increasingly indignant as the story progresses, and Tang Ling and Chang William, who feel that it has nothing to do with them but are very curious about why they are looking for someone and what the relationship is between looking for someone and the rules, Wen Qi's expression seems a bit intriguing.

Although her face looked calm, a hint of alertness and nervousness flashed in her eyes from time to time. When she looked around subconsciously, her sight always passed over Bai Jinshu.

What is she afraid of?

Huai Jiamu's gaze shifted from Wen Qi to Bai Jinshu's face in a strange way, and he only saw the smile deepening at the corners of his mouth.

It seems gentle on the surface, but actually it's the kind of smile that might indicate he's already planning to send someone to death.

Huai Jiamu: ...

Forget it. It has nothing to do with him anyway. He has already drunk enough Chinese medicine this afternoon. It would be fine for him to just be a patient lying in bed tonight.

The smile on Bai Jinshu's lips deepened when he saw Huai Jiamu's gaze pause on Wen Qi for a few seconds, and then he decisively lay down and pretended that he knew nothing.

"Jiang Jie," he looked at Zhao Yinglai, "You just said that this little kid might not be able to do anything?"

Zhao Ying was interrupted halfway through his speech just now.

Zhao Yinglai: "...I said he might not cooperate with us."

"Go change seats," she stretched, and very unreservedly drove Qiu Zihan away, sitting on the big chair closest to Wen Qi. "This kid's situation is not what we thought."

"Why is it a little different?" Qiu Zihan stood behind Zhao Yinglai and began to massage her shoulders diligently.

Although it was only the shadow puppet whose shoulder was being pinched, Zhao Yinglai leaned back with great enjoyment, sighed and continued, "After he was separated from his original body, he was sunk into... well, into this world, but he did not lose contact with the other world. Instead, he could feel what his original body was doing at all times."

In short, the remnant soul of the little ghost in the Wangchuan River did not lose its perception after entering the underworld. Instead, it could still sense what was happening in the world of the living at the bottom of the river. It watched how Lin Jianyu nurtured his original body step by step, and then commanded its irrational self to bless him with wealth and honor, so that he could get a good marriage and have a good Yue family. With the power of the Yue family and the ability of the little ghost, it reached its current position step by step.

Among these, in addition to the efforts of his wife's family, more importantly, it depends on the ability of the little ghost.

Lin Jianyu has come to where he is today step by step, and his hands are definitely not clean, but no one has ever been able to catch him, simply because the people who killed people were all little devils.

“That’s too much!” Qiu Zihan’s movements suddenly intensified. After hearing Jiang Jie’s “hiss”, he continued guiltily, “Then this brat must be going to kill him now!”

"That's the problem," Zhao Yinglai rubbed his head with a headache, "After I found him, he didn't plan to kill Lin Jianyu. He said that he had killed enough people over the years, but those were all done by his original body that had lost its mind. The other soul that had been in another world had always disagreed with this behavior. If he continued to kill people after returning to his original body, he would be committing a crime knowingly."

"Ah?" Qiu Zihan paused hesitantly, "But, but... Lin Jianyu deserves to die, right? Is he really not going to kill Lin Jianyu?"

According to his simple concept of good and evil, this evil man who has harmed so many people should be punished in his own way. He instigated the irrational little ghost to kill so many people. When the little ghost regains his sanity, he will definitely want to kill him.

Why doesn't this kid plan to kill anyone?

"No," a rational voice came out of Zhao Yinglai's mouth, which was completely different from her speaking habits. "What I did before was because my other half of the soul was not rational. That me was used to solving problems by killing people, so I tried to kill people to force Lin Jianyu to submit, and finally killed nine people in a row. Lin Jianyu finally realized that if he continued like this, he would definitely not be able to control the little ghosts and sealed them. So even if Lin Jianyu didn't seal me, I would definitely be punished in time for killing so many people, so now I just want to end this cycle."

"Are you the remaining soul of that little ghost?" Tang Ling asked curiously.

"Yes," Jiang Jie nodded, "I am staying at this..."

"Jiang Jie." Zhao Ying came and spoke.

"It is residing in the body of Mr. Jiang." he added.

Tang Ling looked at his teammates around him in surprise.

Just looking at their contact with this half of the soul and the comparison with the little ghost mentioned by Bai Jinshu, these two parts of the soul are almost like two different people.

One is extremely crazy and kills without blinking an eye, while the other is extremely polite and surprisingly rational.

This soul in Jiang Jie's body clearly knew everything, but it chose not to kill Lin Jianyu.

"That's it," Zhao Yinglai shrugged when he saw the surprised expressions on their faces, "I talked to him for a long time when he came back, but his attitude has always been the same."

The situation of this kid is completely different from what they imagined. They didn't expect that the sanity that was cut off would become such extreme sanity.

"Well...you really don't hate Lin Jianyu?" Qiu Zihan curiously put his entire head close to Zhao Yinglai's face.

"It doesn't matter whether I hate him or not," Jiang Jie's body nodded politely in response, "Taking action against him goes against my original intention of ending this cycle."

"Hiss..." Qiu Zihan scratched his head, "You are quite principled."

"Thank you." He nodded.

William Chang couldn't help but speak up: "But Lin Jianyu also killed many people. You killed him to get rid of harm to the people."

"Relieving harm to the people and me killing him are two independent events and need to be calculated separately. From the perspective of the relevance of the events, I did not need to rid myself of harm to the people, so killing Lin Jianyu was just my personal behavior."

A few investors who are still awake at this point:

[It seems to make sense. ]

[I roughly understand his logic. He thinks that the other self is irrational, so killing people has nothing to do with the rational self. As the rational part, he doesn't care what kind of treatment the other self suffers or what kind of person he becomes. He just stands on his own standpoint and thinks that there is no need to kill Lin Jianyu. If killing Lin Jianyu means breaking the precepts, he will be no different from the other irrational self.]

[How strange! Is this the aftereffect of being split into two people? Don’t you consider your other self a human being?]

[The above should be because he does not have empathy for his other self. After all, the little ghost who lost his sanity actually has a weak perception of the outside world. He is just Lin Jianyu's clone and thug.]

[Yes, he has no empathy for the things he has suffered and the evil he has committed because he is irrational.]

[That's right, no wonder he doesn't care. ]

Zhao Yinglai helplessly spread his hands towards Bai Jinshu, indicating to him, "You see, this kid is so difficult to deal with."

Bai Jinshu lowered his head and sighed, then looked at Zhao Yinglai: "Now that you say that, I understand."

"Thank you for your understanding." The remnant soul of the little ghost temporarily living in the shadow puppet Jiang Jie immediately nodded in thanks.

"However," Bai Jinshu suddenly changed the subject, "We not only have the captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau who you had a confrontation with before, but also a special person."

A trace of doubt flashed across everyone's face.

Who else?

"The one on your left is Wen Qi," Bai Jinshu said with a smile on his face, "She seems to be an old acquaintance of your mother."

The entire pharmacy was silent for a few seconds, and everyone looked at Wen Qi.

Wen Qi blinked nervously, not expecting Scario to suddenly mention her, and took a deep breath slowly.

"Isn't it?" Bai Jinshu smiled and blinked, "Did I remember it wrong?"

"No... no," Wen Qi's face flashed with confusion and nervousness as she didn't know why Scarao suddenly mentioned her. She said in confusion, "Well... I do know Hu Qiong."

"Do you know my mother?" The ghost looked at Wen Qi, who looked younger than him, with some confusion.

"That's right," Wen Qi rubbed her hands nervously under Skao's gaze, but still told the truth, "I... can see ghosts. She has always been in that world."

Anyway, this matter was not a secret in Skao, so she might as well admit it frankly. Besides, she did have a good relationship with Hu Qiong, which was why she had a good relationship with every ghost. It was no big deal to tell this little ghost about it.

Jiang Jie had a look of doubt on his face: "But I've never seen her."

"Is that so?" Skao's gentle and compassionate voice sounded, "Then why not let Wen Qi tell us about her."
