Qin Mengmeng studied civil engineering for four years, and after graduation, she was assigned to a construction site. After two years of dusty work, she quickly became dark, dry, and thin. When she...
Chapter 133 Black Shaman
"You said someone...came to you in a dream?" The man asked in surprise, "Did you just say that someone came to you in a dream?"
Qin Mengmeng nodded calmly and described to him the appearance of 47 that she had seen.
"He was a very young, thin, and pale man, and there was a little girl with him."
Qin Mengmeng took a step forward quietly, looking in the direction of the surveillance camera, her eyes dark and deep: "You know who we are talking about."
The man didn't say anything else.
But the door at the entrance opened.
Qin Mengmeng saw that there was no one inside the gate. Everything within her sight was peaceful and ordinary, and she couldn't tell that there were many people hiding inside.
Qin Mengmeng tilted her head, signaling the people behind her to follow.
Qin Chuan took a few quick steps forward and walked in front of Qin Mengmeng. Qin Mengmeng knew that he did this to protect herself so as to avoid being ambushed. She shook her head, walked past Qin Chuan, and still walked in front.
This matter had nothing to do with Qin Chuan. She couldn't let him suffer for her just because he was her brother.
What's more, with the dormitory head and the little kid present, the dormitory head was so happy that Qin Mengmeng thought there should be no danger here.
Although she made the worst-case scenario plan, to be honest, many times, the worst-case plan is just for insurance purposes, and there are very few times when the worst-case plan is actually needed. When you are mentally prepared to face the worst-case scenario, you will eventually find that things can easily develop in a good direction.
Qin Mengmeng slowly opened the door and walked towards the main building lobby, where there was an automatic sensor door that opened automatically when it sensed the heat from the human body.
Just as the little ghost said, there were several witches sitting cross-legged in the hall on the first floor. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing gold ornaments. They were sitting neatly on a wide mahogany sofa in an ancient Chinese style. When they heard the noise, they all looked over with their side heads raised. Their movements were in unison, like many puppets being controlled by the same person.
Qin Mengmeng was stunned when she saw their faces.
Old Man Ma squeezed in from behind her, eager to see who from the new city were invited over. When he looked up, he was stunned.
Those witches were short, dark, and thin, with gold necklaces around their necks, and in their hands they held either Buddhist beads or amulets, or even a small voodoo doll...
Old Man Ma's eyes fell on one of the witches' hands, and his face changed drastically: "Kumantong."
Qin Mengmeng whispered, "Are you sure?"
Old Man Ma nodded and said, "Sure."
These people were actually invited from abroad... Two words flashed through Qin Mengmeng's mind: Shaman.
A pale and thin figure walked down from the second floor. She was short, had a shaved head, and was dressed in men's clothing. Qin Mengmeng could tell at a glance that she was a woman. She introduced herself, "I'm Ou Jin, probably the uncle of the person who sent the dream."
Qin Mengmeng had no special interest in her gender identity. Seeing her introduction, she got straight to the point and said, "I'll wake him up."
She had already seen the dormitory head standing quietly behind Ou Jin. She was so close that Qin Mengmeng had no doubt that she could take Ou Jin's life at any time.
Qin Mengmeng never doubted whether the dormitory head could do it.
Originally, high school students of this age had no respect for human life. Xincheng High School had been raising Gu for many years... Even the cute-looking little ghosts could be ruthless enough when it came time to take action.
In this case, getting straight to the point is definitely the most cost-effective option.
Seeing her talking like this, Ou Jin frowned and looked at her for a moment, then hesitantly glanced at the witch sitting in the hall on the first floor. After a long while, he tilted his head to Qin Mengmeng and said, "Then please follow me."
Reaching the rooftop of the third floor, he took Qin Mengmeng to a sunroom that was made of glass on all sides and had direct sunlight, but the air conditioner was turned on, so it was not hot at all.
Qin Mengmeng felt relieved as soon as she noticed that the temperature here was just right despite direct sunlight.
Judging from Ou Jin's behavior, he should not have any bad intentions. If he just treated 47 as a tool, he would not be so careful.
There were two beds in the sunroom. Qin Mengmeng saw the pale-faced Little Bear lying next to 47. Both of them had tubes inserted in their noses, but there was still a faint breathing movement in their chests. They seemed to be in good condition. Qin Mengmeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"You said he came to you in a dream." Ou Jin stared at Qin Mengmeng and said in confusion: "And then asked you to wake him up?"
Qin Mengmeng hummed, touched her chest, looked at Ou Jin, weighed it for a moment, and asked directly: "Why did you bring this little girl back? Her medical expenses are still stuck in the hospital and there is no way to settle them. If you bring her back, you have to pay off her medical expenses."
Ou Jin pondered for a moment. Obviously, as a person who seemed to be independently supporting the family business and building a career, he keenly realized that Qin Mengmeng's jumpy questions were very inappropriate.
But he obviously didn't have much choice at this time.
For the family of a terminally ill patient, sometimes they have to believe lies and scams that they would never believe in normal times.
"It's the request of the shaman I invited."
Qin Mengmeng said: "Those downstairs? People from the foreign triangle area?"
She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Let them go away."
After all, they are foreigners. Even if you know that you will gain merit by dealing with them, there is a layer of separation between them, so it is not good to use it to improve your performance.
Ou Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "You are so arrogant."
Qin Mengmeng was not worried about offending him at all. She had already discovered the problem. She asked, "Do you know what a living sacrifice to the gods is?"
Ou Jin was stunned: "What is this? It must be a made-up word from your weird circle."
Qin Mengmeng then smiled.
At the beginning, 47 told her that it was his younger uncle who came to visit him at his bedside and told him that he was burning incense for him, and then someone in the live broadcast room mentioned the term "living sacrifice to God".
Now it seems that this may be just a coincidence, not a conspiracy. If 47's family members intended to keep him half-dead to protect the family, they would not have told him such an operation in a casual conversation with the patient.
Since he didn't intend to murder, it's easy to solve.
Qin Mengmeng took out two paper figures, distinguished them clearly, and slowly walked between the two beds. She placed one paper figure on the little girl on the left and one paper figure on the tall and thin boy on the right.
In an instant, Ou Jin saw the boy's wrist twitched. He looked in shock as the man raised his hand to pull the tube off his lips. He didn't even bother to go forward to support him. He just stared at Qin Mengmeng in a daze.
"You..." He blurted out: "How much do you want?"
Qin Mengmeng was happy and said, "I don't want money."
Then she sat in front of Little Bear's bed, gently holding Little Bear's hand, watching her slowly open her eyes, and weakly called her: "Woo, Meng Jie."
Over there, 47 was still pulling at the tubes on his body with his eyes closed. Ou Jin went forward to help him sit up, but controlled him and didn't dare let him pull the numerous transparent tubes used for infusion, feeding, and catheterization. He just held his hands and watched him open his eyes and cry in grievance.
"Uncle, I feel uncomfortable. I don't want these things."
Ou Jin was overjoyed, but still said, "No! I can do whatever you want, but you can't remove these tubes."
The two vegetative patients had just woken up from an endless nightmare, their bodies were still too weak to be human form. Little Bear just sat up and broke out in a sweat, and the hot sweat flowed directly into Qin Mengmeng's palms.
Qin Mengmeng glanced at Xiao Xiong, then turned to Ou Jin and said, "The shamans downstairs asked you to bring her over as well. Have you told her parents?"
Ou Jin turned his eyes away guiltily.
Qin Mengmeng understood immediately.
Although this person has no ill will towards 47, he is definitely not a good person... I don’t know what those shamans want to do by asking Xiao Xiong to come, but it is obvious that Ou Jin is not reluctant to exchange Xiao Xiong’s life for 47’s life.
Seeing Qin Mengmeng looking at him indifferently, Ou Jin seemed to have no intention of letting this matter go, so he quickly said: "Thanks to this little girl, my child was able to wake up, and her medical expenses were fully paid by us."
Qin Mengmeng said: "Is that enough?"
She asked this to mean that it was not enough.
Ou Jin glanced at 47 and thought, the person has been rescued anyway… But soon, he gave up the idea of refusing to pay. It is not worth it to offend such a mysterious character. She can easily wake up the vegetative patient in her family who has been bothering everyone for a long time. Who knows if she will just raise her hand and let him fall asleep again?
What's more, it's just a problem that can be solved with some money.
He said, "I am willing to adopt her as my goddaughter. In the future, I will take care of all the important things in her life, such as entrance exams, marriage, and house purchase. I will provide her with money and support."
Qin Mengmeng smiled, walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "You are so kind, you will be rewarded in the future."
She said it casually, but she knew in her heart that based on her performance just now, when Ou Jin heard her say this, he would definitely not just listen to it casually, and he would definitely believe it.
47 sat on the bed, blinking quietly, and suddenly tilted his head to look at the little ghost: "I can still see you."
The little ghost smiled and said, "Ha, this is interesting. Then you are half human and half ghost?"
Little Bear said, "What is half-human, half-ghost."
Ou Jin asked in horror: "Who are you talking to...?"
Qin Mengmeng gently tapped her eyes: "This is a gift from the underworld, the Yin-Yang eyes. You don't have to be afraid. This will be of great benefit to your family in the future."
Qianqian said this, and she didn’t say anything more to Ou Jin. She went straight back to the first floor.
When Old Man Ma saw those shamans just now, he stopped downstairs. He couldn't bear to see those people dare to use evil instruments like the Kumantong for children. His face was as calm as water. Qin Mengmeng left Zhang Sanri and Wang Mianmian downstairs to support him.
Now that the matter upstairs was resolved, she couldn't help but go down early to prevent them from really fighting here and causing trouble.
While still on the stairs, Qin Mengmeng vaguely heard the noise.
When he rushed downstairs, he found that the one who was arguing with those shamans was not Old Man Ma, but Yu Jiuye.
He spoke in Jiuchen's local dialect, which Qin Mengmeng could not understand, and gestured to the leading shamans in an excited conversation. Both of them spoke very fast. Yu Jiuye looked angry, and the leading shaman felt guilty, but kept chattering and refused to admit defeat. She would say three sentences for every one Yu Jiuye said.
Zhang Sanri frowned, seeming to understand, but also seeming not to understand.
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
The dormitory head came over quickly and explained to Qin Mengmeng in her ear.
Wherever there was excitement, there would definitely be the dormitory head. She was originally jumping on the chimney on the rooftop, and when she heard the noise below, she quickly floated down to watch the fun.
"It seems that this group of people is actually the one invited by Yu Jiuye."
Qin Mengmeng: “???”
Yu Jiuye invited a group of shamans from their local area for the same purpose. However, logically speaking, the employer of these shamans is Yu Jiuye, not anyone else. Why would they come here without telling Yu Jiuye?
Yu Jiuye thought they would not come until the afternoon.
When Zhang Sanri saw Qin Mengmeng coming down, he came over and whispered to her, "This group of people is too unruly."
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
As expected, as long as it is an industry that deals with people, no matter if it is a decorator or a waiter, a bodyguard or a shaman, those who should play tricks on you will play tricks on you, and those who should not follow the rules will break the rules.
Yu Jiuye took two steps back and said something. The witch on the opposite side suddenly lost her guard, screamed, and turned away.
Yu Jiuye angrily said to Qin Mengmeng: "They stood me up to take a private job, I want them to return the money!"
Qin Mengmeng held her forehead with her hand.
The head of the dormitory over there laughed: "You deserve it."
Qin Mengmeng thought about it carefully, and then said to Old Man Ma: "It would be fine if they really boarded the plane directly...but I would like to trouble you to keep an eye on them for me. I am afraid that things will not be so simple when they come to Xincheng this time."
On the surface, it seemed that they came because Yu Jiuye invited them, and then they took a temporary private job that paid well. But the real situation... would not be clear until the very end.
When Qin Mengmeng thought of Jiuchen, she couldn't help but think of the anchor Ersan that Qin Chuan had been staring at.
She turned and asked Qin Chuan.
"Er San, did you see any activity in his live broadcast room yesterday?"
Qin Chuan frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head solemnly and said, "No, as far as I can see, his live broadcast is no different from usual, except that the traffic in his live broadcast room seems to be a little lower."
"Because the content is stagnant and there has been no new content for a long time, I have only watched his live broadcast for less than half a month, but I have already discovered that the traffic and number of regular online users in his live broadcast room have actually been steadily declining."
Qin Mengmeng nodded, and then told Old Man Ma, "Please pay more attention to this matter. I'm worried that they came here suddenly, maybe they really came here to sacrifice to the gods."
Old Man Ma stroked his chin, knowing the seriousness of the situation, and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on them and make sure they get on the plane and get out today."
No matter what, this matter is somewhat weird... It makes people feel a little uneasy, but Qin Mengmeng is not too worried.
The rights and interests given by the lv2 anchor almost completely freed her hands and feet, allowing her to do it with confidence and boldness.
Wang Mianmian quietly stepped back a few steps, approached Qin Mengmeng and asked her: "Do you think they are in cahoots with that anchor Ersan?"
Qin Mengmeng said: "I'm not sure. Although they are all from Jiuchen, and Jiuchen is a recognized no-man's land with many gray and black industries operating there, but... after all, it is more or less a country. Although it is a small country, it is large enough to accommodate many different people."
They may not really be related.
But it does make sense to say there is a connection.
Many things in the world are so vague that no one can see clearly unless the world's disaster comes.
But one thing Qin Mengmeng can be sure of is that since she has discovered the anchor named Ersan, he will definitely discover her as well.
Sooner or later.
However, the live broadcast routes between Qin Mengmeng and him were in such conflict that there was almost no possibility of reconciliation.
Ou Jin came down from the second floor and immediately understood the current situation. He weighed the situation in his mind. Although he didn't know why these two groups of mysterious people had clashed, it was now time for him to choose a side.
He looked back upstairs and thought of his little nephew who had been helped by the butler to sit up and was staggering slowly, trying to regain his strength as soon as possible. He made the decision almost instantly.
"I'll arrange someone to watch them board the plane." Ou Jin politely took out tea leaves from the cabinet and made tea for Qin Mengmeng and her group.
When the witches saw that something was not right, the leader pointed at Yu Jiuye's nose and cursed him, and then someone else stared at Qin Mengmeng with resentment.
Qin Mengmeng mainly couldn't understand what they were saying.
At first, Yu Jiuye saw that the matter had been basically resolved, so he endured it for a while and was unwilling to talk to them any more. But after a while, as if because they cursed too dirty, he suddenly started cursing at them again.
When he used his native language, it was obvious that he spoke much more fluently than usual.
Qin Mengmeng glanced at Ou Jin. Although Ou Jin did not want to offend those witches who seemed to have some magical powers and was afraid of getting into trouble in the future, he still raised his hand and called for an interpreter and bodyguard under pressure from Qin Mengmeng.
A group of bodyguards in black linked arms and formed a human formation, some of them blocking the door, while others surrounded the group of witches.
"The earliest flight is at 2pm." Ou Jin glanced at his phone and said simply, "At 5pm tonight, they will get off the plane and return to Jiuchen."
Qin Mengmeng nodded, not surprised.
She had no idea what this uncle of 47 did for a living.
But obviously, in Xincheng, a small city with an average monthly salary of no more than, a person who can easily support the bottomless medical expenses of two vegetative patients definitely has no shortage of means to do things.
It is normal for him to take sides so decisively. It would be abnormal if he hesitated, was indecisive, could not make up his mind, and wanted to not offend anyone.
If he was that kind of person, even if his parents and elders were supportive enough, he would not be able to support such a family business on his own.
Seeing these witches being dealt with in a thunderous manner, Yu Jiuye suddenly said: "No, this group of unruly black shamans, it is obvious that they are the ones who want to cause trouble, but after being exposed, they threatened us and cursed us."
"We absolutely cannot let them go back like this. The black shamans' witchcraft is very strange and may be harmful to us. They may cast a spell on us."
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
Qin Mengmeng pinched her nose and said helplessly: "What should I do? Should I kill them?"
Ou Jin was shocked when he heard this.
"You guys...is this something you can say publicly?"
Qin Mengmeng quickly said: "I was just joking."
But the person has indeed been offended... and it is the first time that Qin Mengmeng has dealt with someone in real life who seems to be really proficient in witchcraft... After thinking about it, I feel that this matter is indeed difficult to handle.
"Let's talk." She said to Jiuye calmly. "Help me translate."
There are translators at the European Championships, but when it comes to translators, other people’s translators are not as trustworthy as your own people.
