Chapter 507 Above the Posa (42) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
A corner of the city.
In the temporary group chat, Qiu Zihan, who had finally gotten rid of the police, finally freed up his hands to type: [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
Qiu Zihan: [Ahhhhhhhhh! ]
Qiu Zihan: [Is anyone here? ! ! ]
Qiu Zihan: [September 19——]
Bo Jiren got up in the morning to go to work: [? ]
Bo Jiren: [What's wrong with you? What is 919? Any new clues about the rules?]
Qiu Zihan: [Ah ...
Qiu Zihan: [I’m being chased by the police!!!]
While typing a few lines, Qiu Zihan slowed down a little and heard the sound of the group of people chasing him. He was so scared that he dropped his watch and ran for his life.
After running for an unknown amount of time and getting rid of the police behind him, Qiu Zihan finally had time to open the temporary group chat. After quickly reading a series of questions from Bo Jiren asking him what happened, Qiu Zihan gritted his teeth and began to accuse the two conscienceless teammates: [I was going to sleep tonight, but Faye asked me if I was sleepy and whether I wanted to wake Xu Ke up. I thought that I was not sleepy at this time and it would be a good time to wake Xu Ke up, so I said I wanted to go too. Then Faye took me to the small supermarket in front of Xu Ke, but he didn't let me knock on the door.]
Qiu Zihan: [I asked him why he didn't open the door, and he said it was not the time to call Xu Ke yet, and that he would take me to a place later, and asked me to remember the way back. I was so obedient that I definitely remembered it! As a result! I followed him and walked to the police station! He asked me if I was hungry or sleepy along the way, and I thought he was concerned about me, but it turned out that he was just trying to trick me! ]
Qiu Zihan: [These two people are too much. Not only did they let me climb into the police station compound, they also made me stand in front of their dormitory, and then set a fire inside without telling me! Damn, I almost couldn't get out. If I hadn't gotten good at climbing over walls by skipping classes in my early years, I would not be able to get out today! ]
His chatterboxness was clearly revealed at this moment. After making sure that the police pursuers behind him had not caught up with him, Qiu Zihan began to go into crazy complaining mode, and began to post long paragraphs of text in the group.
But the strange thing is that neither Skao nor Jiang Jie responded to him at this time.
Bo Jiren, the only one who still paid attention to him, read all the messages and summarized them: [So just now, Brother Faye and Jiang Jie asked you to remember the way from the police station to Xu Ke, and then they set fire to the police station and disappeared, and you are being chased by the police now, right? ]
Qiu Zihan: [Right, right, right! Why are they like this? And I feel like there is something wrong with this unknown space at night. I have been walking in the direction I remember, left, left, left, straight, left, straight, left, straight, straight, right, why haven’t I reached Xu Ke yet? Is there something wrong?]
Bo Jiren pondered for a moment, and then analyzed rationally: [Is there a possibility that you remembered the direction from Xu Ke to the police station?]
Qiu Zihan was confused: [Yes, I remember the direction from Xu Ke to the police station? ]
Bo Jiren: [So, from the police station to Xu Ke's place, is it possible that we should go in the opposite direction?]
There was a few seconds of eerie silence.
Qiu Zihan: [? ? ? ]
Qiu Zihan: [!!!]
In front of the steaming pot in the noodle shop, Bo Jiren silently looked at the group chat that had no more replies, put down his hands and continued to let the noodles rise.
It has to be said that he has a very deep understanding of Qiu Zihan.
Qiu Zihan ran quickly in the alley, and it looked like there was a ghost chasing him...or from a certain perspective, there was indeed a ghost chasing Qiu Zihan.
During the conversation with Bo Jiren just now, Bo Jiren revealed the secret, making Qiu Zihan suddenly realize that he was running in the wrong direction. He had to come out of the hidden corner he had found and run back in the direction he had just escaped.
It would have been fine if he didn't run back, because as soon as he ran back, he met the policeman following him again.
Although Qiu Zihan is often criticized by Bai Jinshu and the foundation's investors for his poor thinking, he can still come up with some quick wit when the critical moment comes.
After realizing that he was running in the wrong direction, Qiu Zihan's sluggish brain suddenly started working. He remembered that on the first day they entered this unknown space, everyone witnessed someone being chased by the police.
So first of all, the police have a car, and now it's night and the streets are empty with no traffic jams. No matter how fast he runs, he can't outrun the cars and will definitely be caught up in a few steps, not to mention running all the way from here to Xu Ke.
So now there are only two options, either he finds a means of transportation that can reach a speed similar to that of a car and increase his speed, or he finds some way to prevent the police from using means of transportation and reduce their speed.
In the former case, since you are not yet an adult and do not have a driver's license and cannot drive, you can just pass. In the latter case, if you want to prevent the police from driving, you can only drive around in places where all wheeled vehicles are inconvenient.
This is why Qiu Zihan kept jumping up and down in the alley.
Compared to the ghost officials who live in the underworld and are very familiar with all the roads in the underworld, Qiu Zihan's disadvantage is that he does not know the way, and his advantage is also that he does not know the way.
Although Bai Jinshu hinted to him to remember the route from the small supermarket where Xu Ke was resting to the police station before he left, if they really wanted to escape for their life, who would remember the route? Of course, they would just run wherever there was a road.
Qiu Zihan himself didn't know where he could run to, and he was just running around based on his impression of Xu Ke's location, not to mention the policemen following him.
Even if they could drive their cars to block Qiu Zihan in advance, they would not know where to block him without knowing Qiu Zihan's destination.
Not to mention that the ghost officials chasing Qiu Zihan now are not all of them. There are still quite a few who are chasing after Zhao Yinglai and are being led by her towards the Wangchuan River.
According to the old man's aversion to the water of the Wangchuan River, these ghosts would definitely not take the initiative to step into the shallows, and could only block it outside the shallows.
The shallows is essentially the Forgotten River, which is like a river around the city. As long as Zhaoying walks in a certain direction, he can avoid those evil spirits.
As I said, the Yinchai are not enough and some of them are with Qiu Zihan. The Yinchai chasing after Zhao Yinglai are not enough to block the entire riverbank.
Bai Jinshu did not choose to wake up Tang Ling and Chang William and let them act separately, but chose to trick Zhao Yinglai. It was not entirely out of bad taste, but only such arrangement could maximize the guarantee that the routes of action of both sides would be separated, and Xu Ke would not be caught before Wen Qi came back.
Otherwise, if Tang Ling, Qiu Zihan, and Chang William were all running around in the city, the three teams of ghost messengers following them would not only easily cooperate, but it would also be easier for them to use the common connections between these three people to find the restaurant they all went to on the first day, and then find the pharmacy.
At that time, there would be no need to talk about taking Xu Ke away. All of them would be taken away in one wave, not to mention Huai Jiamu, who was lying in bed with a wound that could not heal and could not move. If he sat up a little, blood would ooze out of the wound.
Therefore, for the sake of Huai Jiamu, and to prevent them from being caught in one fell swoop, Qiu Zihan has to bear the bad luck.
As for why he wasn't told from the beginning what he needed to do tonight and why he suddenly tricked Zhao Ying into coming... Bai Jinshu admitted that it was half out of bad taste and the other half was that it made no difference whether he told him or not.
Qiu Zihan couldn't remember the way even if he was told, but Zhao Yinglai knew what he was going to do even without her telling him.
Let's just not talk about it. Isn't it the case that both sides are escaping quite well?
[Aoshen: The years are peaceful. ]
[I can't believe that I actually watched Aoshen for more than half an hour here at 5 o'clock in the morning. ]
[I can't believe that with all the chaos outside, Aoshen actually fell asleep in this alley for more than half an hour.]
[Aoshen is a koi fish, what is he afraid of? If nothing unexpected happens, his place will definitely not be discovered. ]
[I can’t imagine what Jiang Jie and Zi Han would say if they knew that Aoshen was sleeping while they were running for their lives.]
【Coward, I dare. 】
It was past five in the morning and the exclusive room manager in the live broadcast room had not yet come to work. The view was fixed on Bai Jinshu, and countless investors in the live broadcast room were forced to watch the live broadcast for more than half an hour.
Fortunately, not long after, the area around the small supermarket where Xu Ke worked finally became lively.
Qiu Zihan stumbled all the way to the door of the small supermarket, not caring whether it was a rolling shutter or a glass door. He looked like he had finally reached the finish line of a 100-kilometer marathon, and he raised his arms high and clapped at it.
While filming, he shouted in the hoarse voice of an adolescent boy: "Brother Xu Ke! Open the door! Brother Xu Ke! Open the door! I know you are home!"
This sentence not only woke up Xu Ke who was sleeping in a daze, but also woke up Bai Jinshu who was taking advantage of every spare moment to catch up on his sleep in the alley.
As Qiu Zihan knocked on the door, the ghost messengers who had been chasing him also realized his location and were rushing towards him at a rapid speed.
Xu Ke shook his eyes in confusion, and heard someone calling him at the door. He opened the shutter door a little in a daze.
Before he could pull the shutter door up completely, a hand reached in from outside the door and suddenly rolled up the shutter door.
"Brother Xu Ke! You really haven't slept yet!" Qiu Zihan was standing at the roller shutter door, sweat all over his forehead, smiling brightly and speaking in an excited tone. Behind him, countless policemen were rushing towards this place.
Xu Ke:?
Wait, what's going on?
What does it mean that he “really didn’t sleep”? And why did Qiu Zihan wake him up in the middle of the night?
And why is there such a bright smile on his face and so many policemen behind him?
What does this have to do with anything?
While Xu Ke was at a loss, Qiu Zihan turned and ran: "Run—quickly—ah—"
Xu Ke: “Ah?”
Xu Ke: "Why are you running?"
His confused expression paused when he saw the fierce gleam in the eyes of the policemen behind Qiu Zihan.
"Just now, Brother Fa and his gang burned down the police station..." Qiu Zihan's voice became increasingly distant.
Xu Ke:!
Xu Ke was startled, and without even having time to ask Scarao what he had done, he quickly followed him.
In the live broadcast room, two figures quickly ran past the alley in front of Bai Jinshu. No one looked into the alley, and no one saw Bai Jinshu who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and yawning.
While running in front, Qiu Zihan turned his head to look at Xu Ke, who was running for his life before he woke up, and the policemen who had sent some men to chase him. Suddenly, at this moment, he understood the happiness of his brothers Fa Ye and Jiang Jie.
It's really fun to cheat people.
While running, Qiu Zihan began to use 90% of his brain to think about what to do next.
Although his brother Faye did not tell him in detail what he was going to do tonight, but just from the two things of "waking Xu Ke up" and "setting fire in the police station so that the police chased him", it can be seen that one of the goals tonight should be to make the police chase Xu Ke.
But now that he has brought Xu Ke into the police's sight, what should he do next?
Just as Qiu Zihan was thinking in this direction, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the fork in the road not far away.
"Brother Xu Ke! Here!" Wen Qi, wearing a white dress, waved at the two of them.
"Qiqi!" Qiu Zihan's eyes lit up, "When did you come here?"
Didn’t he remember that Wen Qi was not in the pharmacy tonight?
"Don't ask so many questions! It was Brother Fa who asked me to come here!" Wen Qi quickly led them through the alleys, "Follow me quickly, I remember there is a small path here!"
"Here he comes! Brother Fa Ye really hasn't forgotten me!" Qiu Zihan immediately put aside the doubts from a few seconds ago and followed happily.
Qiu Zihan followed him, and Xu Ke, who had no idea what happened tonight, naturally ran over as well.
"What's going on? What's going on?" he asked as he ran. "Why are you two being chased by the police outside at this time?"
"Brother Fa Ye and his men burned down the police station, so I was chased!" Qiu Zihan smiled extremely brightly.
Xu Ke: ...
Xu Ke: "No...what are you laughing at?"
It was Skao and Jiang Jie who burned down the police station tonight, right? It was also these two people who caused Qiu Zihan to be chased by the police, right?
What is he laughing at?
Qiu Zihan: "I remembered something happy."
He remembered that Xu Ke was woken up by him in the middle of the night, and had to run around with them being chased by the police without even changing his clothes. The joy in his heart was about to overflow.
Wen Qi ran in front: "Hurry, here! Brother Xu Ke, go first, it's inconvenient for you to run in slippers, Qiu Zihan, you stay behind!"
"Oh oh." Qiu Zihan took a step back, letting Xu Ke run in first, and he followed behind.
The alley is quite narrow, only wide enough for two people to pass side by side. It's okay for walking, but it would be a bit crowded if you want to run.
Qiu Zihan was running behind the two of them, and was looking at Xu Ke's back with a silly smile, when suddenly a cold hand reached out from the deep shadows beside him and pulled him over.
“Fuck… Mmmmm…” Qiu Zihan was about to blurt out the word “fuck” but his mouth was immediately covered.
"Shh," a familiar voice came from behind him, "don't shout."
"Brother Jiang Jie?" Qiu Zihan was shocked.
"It's me, let's go," Jiang Jie took him a few steps back, "I smell very strong, they will smell it, follow me first."
"What about Xu Ke and Qiqi..." Qiu Zihan was at a loss as he watched the two people running away.
"Don't talk, the police are coming." Skao's voice rang out.
Qiu Zihan followed Jiang Jie for a distance with a confused look on his face, only to realize that he was now soaked in water. Before he could ask Jiang Jie what was going on, he heard the sound of running not far away.
The policemen who had been chasing him caught up.
Qiu Zihan quickly held his breath and dared not move. He waited until the police chased Wen Qi and Xu Ke away before he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's going on? Brother Fa Ye, Brother Jiang Jie, why are you here?"
"Why can't we stay here?" Zhao Yinglai yawned, "Are you sleepy? If you are, you can go back to sleep. I'm ready to go back."
"No, huh?" Qiu Zihan looked confused. "Brother Jiang Jie, tell me what are you going to do tonight?"
He was inexplicably tricked into the police station and inexplicably chased by the police for more than an hour, and now he was suddenly told that he could go back to sleep if he was sleepy?
Why was he sleepy? He was not sleepy at all. He just felt confused.
"Tonight..." He was about to continue asking in a daze, when he heard a loud crash not far away.
"Xu Ke should have been caught," Bai Jinshu suddenly said, "Let's go, he will probably be sent back tonight."
After Qiu Zihan and Zhao Yinglai started to escape, he took advantage of the chaos to throw several fire bottles into the dormitory building and the lobby. Now that the fire has just been put out, it is estimated that these ghost officials have no place to temporarily rest Xu Ke's soul.
This is the real purpose of their doing this tonight.
If it turns out as he expected, after such a big fuss, there is still no place to rest the soul. In order to avoid any further complications, Xu Ke will be sent back tonight.
Also sent back was Wen Qi, who was carrying the little ghost.
Lin Jianyu...will probably not see the sunrise tomorrow.
Bai Jinshu curled the corners of his mouth and walked leisurely in front with his arms folded across his chest.
The streets late at night returned to silence after the loud noise just now.
Qiu Zihan followed his brother Faye with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, he looked at the other figure beside Zhao Yinglai in shock and shouted, "Qiqi? Why are you here!"
Didn’t she run forward with Xu Ke and get caught together?
"I ran back," Wen Qi tilted her head, looking puzzled, "Didn't you hear my footsteps just now?"
"But... maybe I didn't notice it," Qiu Zihan scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."
Maybe his mind was full of what Brother Fa Ye and Brother Jiang Jie were planning to do tonight, so he ignored Wen Qi's footsteps.
but……
He looked curiously at Wen Qi's silhouette under the street light.
But is Wen Qi so strong? She ran such a long distance just now, and she was not out of breath at all, and her hair was not even messy.
The author has something to say:
I feel like Hantang has been cursed and can't update during the day...Today's plot was not too laggy, but the lottery stand I put downstairs to mail was inexplicably taken away. I spent the whole afternoon checking the surveillance cameras and calling the police. In the end, Yanyan had to go to take a statement at night before I could finish the update. It's outrageous...I'll post everything in 24 hours to save my luck
