Chapter 137
The being that possessed Yu Qian seemed to be afraid of sunlight. When it saw Bei Qiao was about to carry her to bask in the sun, it immediately screamed and turned into a puff of green smoke and left.
Dudu barked a few times at Qingyan fiercely, then closed his mouth with disinterest, wagged his tail and sniffed the oil-paper umbrella that fell on the ground: What a strange smell.
Yu Qian blinked after regaining control of her body, and silently looked at Bei Qiao who was holding her. For a moment, she was reluctant to leave Bei Qiao's arms.
Yu Qian: Finally saved, Qiao Qiao is getting more and more handsome the more I look at him!
"Are you stupid?" Bei Qiao pinched Yu Qian's face and said, "Come back to your senses."
"No, no." Yu Qian came back to her senses and stood up again with the help of Bei Qiao: "Oh my god, I'm scared to death. Didn't they say that our bodies won't be taken away?" The feeling of watching the body lose control was really terrible. If Yu Qian hadn't been afraid that this alien being would use her body to do even more terrible things, causing consequences that she was not aware of, she would have logged off and run away long ago.
"Maybe it's because it only controls your body and doesn't occupy it." Bei Qiao picked up the umbrella on the ground and handed it to Yu Qian: "Is this your umbrella?" With the system in place, the body cannot be taken away, but if the player has no way to take back the control of his or her body, he or she can only find someone to exorcise the ghost at his or her own expense. The system will not take the initiative to help you deal with it, and at most it will not open forum permissions to imposters.
"It's my umbrella, I just bought it today." Yu Qian took two steps back and didn't dare to take the umbrella. She waved her hands vigorously at Bei Qiao from half a meter away: "Don't give it to me, don't give it to me. I'm scared just looking at it now! The bad guy who stole my body only appeared after I got the umbrella!"
"Is that so?" Bei Qiao threw the umbrella to the ground, squatted down and looked at the umbrella carefully: "What's the picture on it?"
"It's a painting of a beautiful woman. At that time, I thought the pattern on the umbrella was pretty and the price was cheap, so I bought it... It's true that cheap things don't get good things!" Yu Qian grabbed the corner of Bei Qiao's clothes from behind, still feeling a little scared: It's too scary, too deceptive, this is even scarier than being forcibly bound and threatened to be wiped out by the system!
"So what are you going to do now?" Bei Qiao stood up and said, "Let me remind you, this umbrella was brought by that guy, but now, there is no beauty under the umbrella."
"What's so weird! We have to burn it quickly!" Yu Qian clenched the corner of her clothes: "You accompany me to burn it, okay?" If Bei Qiao was here, she wouldn't have to worry about anything even if she was possessed again, because Bei Qiao was good at fighting and could stop her.
"Okay, then let go first... What are you afraid of? The umbrella is here with me." Bei Qiao looked back helplessly: although she was not tall, she was very strong, and the corners of her clothes were almost torn to pieces by her.
"I dare not!" Yu Qian's forced calm expression finally collapsed: "The most taboo thing in horror movies is being alone. I won't go! I dare not go!" What if there is an umbrella waiting for her outside? Qiao Qiao is alone!
"...Okay, then stand back and I'll get the brazier." Bei Qiao sighed helplessly, "Let go. If you really don't want to let go, just follow me. Clothes are not elastic enough, so I can't pull them that far."
Dragging Yu Qian behind him, Bei Qiao found a brazier and placed it outside the door. Bei Qiao threw the umbrella in and lit it with a tinder. The flames burned fiercely, engulfing the entire umbrella, burning off the umbrella cover and leaving only the blackened ribs.
"Okay, is it done?" Yu Qian pulled at the corner of Bei Qiao's clothes and poked her head out from behind her.
"It's done." Bei Qiao watched the ashes in the brazier being blown away by the wind. He used a pair of tongs to pick out the remaining umbrella ribs and threw them away. He picked up Dudu who came over to smell the aroma and said, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll take you wherever you want to go."
"ah?"
"Are you sure you dare to go home alone now and stay at home alone at night?" Bei Qiao may not be online at night. If Yu Qian feels scared, knocking on the door may not call for help.
"...I dare not, woo, Qiao Qiao you are so nice!" Yu Qian was moved and held the corner of Bei Qiao's clothes tightly: "I want to find Sister Tie." She has a good relationship with other people in the village, but Song Tie is the last one to go offline among all of them, which is more suitable for her as a night owl.
After putting the brazier back in the house, Bei Qiao thought about it and decided to leave Dudu at home to watch the house. After locking the front door, Bei Qiao took Yu Qian to the blacksmith shop and asked, "Does the person who sold you the umbrella have a grudge against you?"
"He's just someone from our village. I don't usually communicate with people I don't know well. How could there be any grudge unless he unilaterally holds a grudge against me." After the umbrella was burned, Yu Qian felt a little more at ease. She even felt like greeting acquaintances when passing by the food court: "If I wasn't in such a bad mood today and there were no witnesses or physical evidence, I would have wanted to go to his house and scold him!"
Bei Qiao frowned: "Didn't you think about telling the village chief?" Yu Qian used the word "people" instead of "fellow townsman", implying that the seller was not a player, but a native.
"Of course I want to tell the village chief, but he hasn't seen me being possessed with his own eyes. Will he believe me?" Yu Qian was a little hesitant.
"He is willing to sell you such an exquisite umbrella at a low price. Who would believe him if he said he didn't know about the umbrella? No matter whether the village chief believes it or not, we have to tell the truth. We can't let such a scourge stay in the village!" If you know that someone is wrong, you should throw him out of the village. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days!
"That's right!" Yu Qian nodded vigorously after figuring it out: "I have to say it, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night!" Except for the patrolling constables, other players log off and go to bed at a certain time. If the natives in the village have bad intentions, the bodies without player control will have no ability to resist.
Accompanied by Bei Qiao, Yu Qian went to the village chief's house and told him what had happened. At the end, she emphasized that the man sold more than one oil-paper umbrella: "I don't know if anyone bought an umbrella before or after me, but when I left, he still had more than a dozen, and they were all very beautiful." It was a pity for that beautiful oil-paper umbrella, because she really liked the pattern on it.
"The umbrella has been burned." The village chief didn't say whether he believed it or not. After listening to Yu Qian's words, he first sent someone to find the native who sold the umbrella, and then went back to the house to find the roster, intending to see if there was any loophole in the previous procedure of taking in the natives.
"It was burned down to the ribs, which I threw into the public trash."
"When something like this happens, it could be a problem with the person or the umbrella, so..."
"I understand. I'll go back and get the ribs." Bei Qiao nodded and turned to leave, but Yu Qian held him back: "Don't leave me alone!"
The village chief who was looking at the roster: "..." I'm not a human?
"Qianqian, what are you doing here?" Song Tie walked in from outside carrying an iron rack: "Village Chief, I have fixed your things for you, where should I put them?"
"Sister Tie!" Yu Qian stretched out her hands towards Song Tie with tears in her eyes: "Qiao Qiao, I won't keep you any longer, please go and come back soon!"
Bei Qiao: “…Yeah.”
"Don't worry, I will remember everything the village chief said and tell you every word later!"
Village chief: “…” There’s no need to take it so seriously.
Bei Qiao used her qinggong skills to rush home and found a sack to store the umbrella ribs. While using a clip to remove the discarded ribs from the trash, she was surprised to find that their color seemed to have lightened. She didn't know what the change in the ribs might be, but perhaps the knowledgeable village chief could provide an answer.
Bei Qiao: If the village chief doesn't know either, the worst that can happen is to take it to the bank for identification. It doesn't matter if it's a female ghost or a bamboo or umbrella demon, as long as it can be identified by a machine, it can be sold.
When we returned to the village chief's house, it was already dark. The village chief took the sack from Bei Qiao and looked at the tied-up natives: "What do you want to say?"
The native lowered his head and said nothing.
"What's going on?" Bei Qiao walked over to Yu Qian and winked in the direction of the natives: "Any ideas?"
"Nothing!" Yu Qian pouted while driving away mosquitoes: "He is just a saw-mouthed gourd, he doesn't say anything!" She was so angry. She fed the mosquitoes in vain and didn't hear any gossip.
"I'll take care of this, you guys go back." The village chief looked at Yu Qian helplessly: "There are a lot of mosquitoes at night."
"Don't you really need our help?" With Bei Qiao and Song Tie by her side, Yu Qian became a lot bolder, even a little arrogant.
Would that be more of a hindrance than a help? "No, there will be news tonight at the earliest, tomorrow morning at the latest. I'll let you know then." With the suspect and the tools already in hand, the rest of the story would be much simpler. The head of a Novice Village was more than just a mediator.
Yu Qian realized that what happened next was beyond her control, so she obediently followed Song Tie and left, planning to stay at the blacksmith shop for the next few days. Bei Qiao separated from the two at the intersection, used light skills to rush back home, and lay down on the bed to log off.
"What took you so long? What did Yu Qian want to talk to you about?" Qiao Lin raised his head when he heard Bei Qiao coming out of the bedroom. "You came out so late. We almost finished eating."
"She's been possessed by an evil spirit. I don't know if it was caused by a human or something else. We have already looked for the village chief." Bei Qiao sat down at the dining table with his portion of rice.
"Just find the village chief." Qiao Lin nodded and continued eating.
After dinner, Bei Qiao lay on the sofa with Tang Yuan for a while. Because he had just played with the cat and then went online to work, leaving Tang Yuan alone, the cat was very angry. Now the cat master was very angry and even refused to play with his favorite cat toy. No matter how Bei Qiao teased him, he just turned his furry butt towards Bei Qiao, leaving her with a proud back view.
"Are you angry already?" Bei Qiao kissed Tangyuan on the forehead, then lay on the sofa and put on holographic glasses.
Waiting for Bei Qiao to continue coaxing his Tangyuan: Ahhh! Damn shit scooper! I want to break up with you for three hours! No, one night!
