Chapter 31 Chapter 31

"Xibao." Zhuang Suan took out a cup of milk tea from the thermos bag and placed it on Xibai's desk. "Your hot brown sugar milk."

Xibai inserted the straw and took a sip. The warm sweet milk mixed with the soft and chewy brown sugar that was slowly cooked. The rich sweet fragrance spread, and the rich dopamine instantly relaxed the brain.

"Is there still no progress on Gu Chi's matter?" Seeing Xibai's worried look, Zhuang Suan guessed that he was still worried about what happened a few days ago.

"Not really." Xibai bit the straw.

Zhuang Suan put his own milk tea in, threw the straw wrapper back into the thermos bag, and put it at his feet.

While taking a sip, he asked, "Did you try to test Gu Chi more?"

Xi Bai hummed vaguely, which was barely an affirmation.

In fact, he did try hard to read something from Gu Chi's mind.

But the development of things was often beyond Xi Bai's control.

At first, Xi Bai found that when he wanted to read Gu Chi's mind, the two of them had to be relatively close to each other. Like the last time, which was also the first time he read it, they were almost sleeping close to each other in bed.

But later, when they were close to each other, he would either be flustered by Gu Chi's smile when he lowered his head to him, or he would wake up early in the morning to find that he had fallen asleep in the middle of the night and rolled into Gu Chi's arms dishonestly.

In the former case, he only stared at Gu Chi's smile and his heartbeat accelerated, his mind was a mess and he couldn't read anything at all.

In the latter case, Gu Chi had almost no psychological fluctuations when he was sleeping, just like the impression in Xi Bai's heart - Gu Chi's heart was actually like a blank sheet of paper, very clean.

Therefore, there was almost no progress.

Except that Xi Bai found that when Gu Chi smiled more widely during the few months he slept, he would show two slightly pointed fangs.

It was more like a large dog.

"Do you want to meet my brother?" Zhuang Suan suddenly said.

Xi Bai, chewing on a straw, was stunned. "Your brother is coming to the school?"

Zhuang Suan nodded. "Yeah, it seems that he is here to check the Feng Shui. I heard that several professors and classmates have been encountering ghosts recently, so the school invited someone to take a look."

The Zhuang family is also a well-known family in the world of Taoist priests, and Zhuang Shu is a leader among the younger generation, so it is not surprising that he was invited.

After class, Zhuang Suan sent a message to Zhuang Shu.

[The God of Calculation: Brother, where are you? I will find you]

Ten minutes later, Zhuang Shu did not reply.

[The God of Calculation: Xi Bai is going too]

[Shu Shangqiegehou: [Location]]

Replied in seconds.

Zhuang Suan closed his eyes.

When the two arrived at the South Library of North City University as shown by the location, the gate had been blocked by the cordon.

After passing through the cordon and entering the gate, he saw Zhuang Shu walking back and forth in the lobby with a compass.

Xibai noticed that the needle on the compass was spinning non-stop, and when Zhuang Suan showed off the new compass to him before, the needle was always pointing to the south under normal conditions.

"There is a sinister object."

Zhuang Suan's words confirmed Xibai's guess.

Originally, this building was often occupied by students who came to review during the final week, so the library, which was very familiar and close to this place - including Xibai - became a little eerie and strange at this moment.

Xibai still held on to a lingering fantasy and asked Zhuang Suan: "Is your brother serious?"

Zhuang Suan had just nodded when he saw Zhuang Shu suddenly move over there.

Originally, Zhuang Shu was holding a compass and moving slowly, but at that moment, his figure turned into a shadow and flashed out.

The library was in the shape of a U, and in the center was a three-story statue of the first principal.

Zhuang Shu stepped on the vertical wall without any support, climbed up to the ceiling with a few steps, and then bent his knees and jumped vertically.

The next second, a black and red shadow with a strong smell of blood was pulled out from the shadow behind the statue by him and thrown to the ground.

Xi Bai, who was just imagining whether Zhuang Shu had found the wrong place: ...

There is really a ghost!

He will never come to the library to review again!

The ghost had a green face and red eyes, a completely bald head, and a circle of wet black hair around it, a bit like the kappa in the collection of strange stories.

It was obviously a bit dazed after being knocked to the ground by Zhuang Shu.

Shaking its head vigorously, the kappa ghost raised its head, and its pair of scarlet and dirty blood eyes just happened to meet Xi Bai who was standing not far away.

Immediately, the kappa ghost screamed, revealing two sharp and long front teeth, and rushed straight over.

But before it rushed halfway, a golden light fell from the sky like a tightening hoop curse, and directly tied it up.

Zhuang Shu landed lightly from the air, holding a seal in one hand with his left hand, and holding a cinnabar paper talisman that was gradually burning into ashes in his right hand. He came on the golden light, chanting the family-inherited Tianshi shackle curse.

The aperture tightened around the Kappa ghost, with a hissing sound and white smoke. Soon, the Kappa ghost shrank rapidly like a punctured balloon. And its appearance changed from being ferocious and terrifying at the beginning to a timid and shrinking appearance, like a hairless little mouse.

"Take advantage of the situation." Zhuang Suan muttered, raised his head and said excitedly, "Brother, this is taking advantage of the situation, right?"

The so-called taking advantage of the situation means obtaining power that does not originally belong to you.

In the current situation, some high-level ghosts "lend" or "infuse" their power to the little ghosts, and the little ghosts will quickly become powerful and become the "accomplices" of the big ghosts.

Just now, Zhuang Shu broke the power of the big ghost, so the Kappa ghost turned back to its original weak form, that is, the appearance of a little mouse.

In other words, there are other "masterminds" behind the Kappa ghost.

Xi Bai looked forward.

The talisman paper on his fingertips had been burned out. Zhuang Shu lowered his eyes and stepped on the long tail behind the Kappa ghost who wanted to escape.

The Kappa ghost screamed, and there was a clear emotion of begging for mercy in the cry.

Zhuang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice was like ice.

"Who is the mastermind behind you?"

As he said this, he exerted force on his foot, and the Kappa ghost let out another miserable cry,

"Tell the truth." Zhuang Shu raised a very shallow arc at the corner of his mouth.

Although the Kappa ghost had become smaller, it obviously understood.

However, as soon as it opened its rat-like mouth with two front teeth, before it could make a sound, its body quickly expanded like

a balloon that was suddenly inflated. Zhuang Shu had been tilting his head to observe the Kappa ghost's expression. Seeing this, his face turned cold and he raised his foot to kick it.

The Kappa ghost's swollen body was under force and quickly flew into the air like a ball, and finally exploded into a ball of rotten meat in mid-air.

The blood plasma splashed and emitted a fishy smell. The few drops that fell on the statue corroded a large number of bubbles and left a hole.

Xibai and Zhuang Suan were already stunned, standing there like wooden chickens, staring straight ahead.

Zhuang Shu stood there, staring at the broken flesh on the ground and thinking quietly for a while, no one knew what he was thinking.

When he turned around, his eyes swept over.

Both Zhuang Suan and Xibai subconsciously stood up a little straighter.

Then Xibai saw the ice quickly melt from that beautiful face, and the familiar cynicism climbed back onto his face.

"Hey, little beauty Xibai." Zhuang Shu raised his hand with a smile, shaking his five fingers in turn a few times.

...The pretense was gone in an instant.

The atmosphere became relaxed again, and Zhuang Suan ran over excitedly.

"Brother, that was just taking advantage of the situation, right? And why did that ghost suddenly explode?"

Xibai and Zhuangshu nodded.

Zhuangshu smiled at him, and when he turned around, he raised his hand and knocked on his brother's head, "You are not good at learning."

Zhuangsuan touched his head aggrievedly.

"As a 'ghost', that guy wanted to betray the master behind it, so he was naturally killed by the mastermind behind the scenes." Zhuangshu's expression did not seem surprised. It can be seen that he just questioned the Kappa ghost just to try to find some clues.

And the one who disturbed the campus these days was the Kappa ghost who had gained power.

In order to beg for mercy, the Kappa ghost wanted to reveal the other party's identity, and then he was detonated by the curse in his body at the same time when the other party gave him power.

Being blown to pieces and never to be reborn, it was all his own fault.

Zhuang Shu completed the task and sent a message to the school leader who placed the order with him.

He wanted money.

As soon as he put his phone back in his pocket, he heard a series of footsteps.

"Hey, come like this..."

Zhuang Shu raised his head, his smile frozen on his lips.

He tilted his head slightly.

Then he saw a short and fat security guard holding a safety baton, running towards the three of them with a majestic look.

"Where are you from? The walls of the library have been trampled dirty!!!"

At this time, on the snow-white wall behind the statue of the principal, there was an additional series of shoe prints from Zhuang Shu.

There was a great commotion in the library until the school leader contacted by Zhuang Shu rushed over to stop the people, and the farce died down.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't know you were here to exorcise evil spirits, Master."

The security guard's attitude made a 180-degree turn, and he held the safety stick with both hands, and bowed with a shadow.

Zhuang Shu waved his hands speechlessly.

Seeing that he had no intention of making a fuss, the security guard ran away in a hurry to avoid being hated and cursed to be sick for ten days or half a month, which would be terrible.

Zhuang Shu took a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead when he was chased by the security guard.

But before his heart could settle down again, he heard a scream from the school leader.

Xibai and the other two turned around nervously.

"Statue! My statue!! A statue carved out of precious marble!!!"

The school leader knelt at the foot of the statue, picking at the sunken hole corroded by the kappa ghost, howling like a ghost.

Fortunately, this man was still trustworthy and reasonable.

Although sad, knowing that it was caused by catching ghosts, the school leader wiped his tears and squeezed out a very reluctant smile.

"Sorry, I lost my composure."

Zhuang Shu was afraid that if he stayed any longer, something else would go wrong, so he quickly asked the school leader to settle the bill, and hurriedly ran away with Xibai and Zhuang Suan who were waiting beside him.

"Huh, what a trouble." Zhuang Shu exhaled a puff of white mist. There was no heating outside the library, so he rubbed his palms against the cold wind.

"Brother, is this matter not over yet? There must be a big boss behind that accomplice. Hey, hey, hey, why are you pushing me..."

Before Zhuang Suan could finish his words, he was blocked by his brother's arm.

Zhuang Shu pushed his brother away and bent over with a smile: "Xie Bai, what do you want to see me for?"

Zhuang Suan: ...

He gave in.

It was a mistake after all!

Xi Bai groaned, thinking that this should be the most appropriate time to ask Zhuang Shu, so he didn't care where he was.

He repeated the recent events to Zhuang Shu briefly and accurately. In fact, what Xi Bai wanted to know was whether there was any way to confirm whether Gu Chi was a human.

Zhuang Shu didn't say anything at first after listening.

Instead, he took a look at his brother who was sulking with his arms folded next to him.

Zhuang Suan noticed the look from the side, and his pouty mouth suddenly pouted even higher.

Even if you apologize and comfort me now, it's useless. I'm not that easy to appease...

"Shameful."

Zhuang Suan:?

What?

Who is shameful!

Before Zhuang Suan could scold him, Zhuang Shu poked his brother's head with his finger, "What's the use of your compass? It's such a simple thing, can't you help Xi Bai solve it!" As he said that

, Zhuang Shu's expression changed at the speed of light, and he smiled at Xi Bai embarrassedly, "Don't worry, I'll teach this stupid little garlic a lesson."

Zhuang Suan pointed at himself, his face full of grievance.

But when he came to his senses, he realized what Zhuang Shu meant.

"Brother, you mean the compass can..."

Zhuang Suan realized it halfway through his speech.

The compass of the Zhuang family was born to track the traces of demons and ghosts. Yin objects may be disguised and can change their shapes to confuse the naked eye, but they can't escape the direction of the compass needle.

He opened his mouth and pursed his lips again.

Zhuang Suan snorted, "I forgot!" He

looked so unreasonable and arrogant that Zhuang Shu wanted to raise his hand to knock him on the head.

The two brothers seemed to be about to fight, and Xibai hurried to stop them.

But his movement was stopped by a voice coming from behind him.

"Xibai."

When Xibai turned his head, Gu Chi was already beside him, and his speed scared him directly.

The broad chest in front of him was rising and falling violently, and Xibai realized that Gu Chi must have run over. Even in the middle of winter, he was still sweating.

"Wipe it off." Xibai took out a tissue from his schoolbag.

Gu Chi held the tissue but did not wipe it. He stared at Xibai from top to bottom.

Finally, seeing that Xibai did not seem to be injured, the corners of his lips, which had been tense, relaxed a little.

Xibai did not pay attention to so many details.

He just felt that Gu Chi seemed a little nervous and seemed to be a little anxious.

"Gu Chi, what's wrong with you?" Xibai asked.

It was not until he asked aloud that Gu Chi seemed to come back to his senses a little.

His pupils, which had been out of focus, gathered again. He lowered his head a little slowly and looked at Xibai.

"Oh, no, I..." Gu Chi's eyes flashed, "I just saw you from afar and wanted to come find you. Um, do you want to have dinner?"

Xibai blinked.

To be honest, he had never seen Gu Chi so out of control.

Before Xibai could say anything, Zhuang Suan behind him called out first.

"Go!"

The two people on the other end turned around at the same time.

Zhuang Suan felt a little embarrassed after he shouted, and hid behind Zhuang Shu with a dry smile.

"So what!" He stretched out his hand and waved, "My brother and I are going to have dinner, you two can eat, we won't join."

With that, Zhuang Suan pulled Zhuang Shu and ran away.

Zhuang Shu glanced behind him and looked at his brother.

To be honest.

He didn't think Gu Chi wanted to invite Zhuang Suan to have dinner together.

Zhuang Suan ran faster and faster, shouting something like "I'm dying.

" "That's enough." Zhuang Shu stopped and looked back. Gu Chi and Xi Bai were only a distant figure.

He crossed his arms and raised his chin towards Gu Chi.

"Is that the guy with the extremely yang horoscope that Xi Bai asked me to calculate last time?"

Zhuang Suan, who had run too far, turned around and came over.

Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes! How is it, isn't it a good match with Xibao? The two of them are extremely yang and extremely yin, I don't know how well they will fit in in the future... Tsk tsk!"

Zhuang Shu didn't understand and didn't bother to care what his brother was doing. He raised his hand and pressed it on Zhuang Suan's head, ignoring the other's struggle and ruffled the originally smooth hair under his palm into a mess.

"Find a chance to use the compass to test that kid."

After saying that, Zhuang Shu left Zhuang Suan, who was in a mess in the wind, and turned away.

"Brother!" Zhuang Suan chased after him and hugged Zhuang Shu's arm, "Is there something wrong with Gu Chi?"

Zhuang Shu sighed softly, "I can't tell, or I'm not sure."

But it doesn't hurt to try.

Zhuang Suan nodded and looked back at the empty school road.

"Okay, I got it."
