Black Bag
Thinking of this, Wang Zhiyi looked at Qiu Zimu and smiled. Fortunately, he was bored and stayed for a while, otherwise he would not have met Qiu Zimu.
"He ransacked your house, and you're quite happy about it." Ye Jing'an was indifferent and speechless.
"Yes, didn't Zimu give me a new one?" Wang Zhiyi raised his eyebrows.
Ye Jingan: “…”
Liu Muze: "..."
"By the way, let me see the black bag you picked up." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Do you know the origin of this bag?" Liu Muzhe asked.
Wang Zhiyi took the black bag, examined it carefully, and said, "When the village sacrificed souls, they also used this bag to hold the souls."
"It seems that he is collecting souls everywhere. I don't know what he is going to do. We still have to find out quickly and stop him as soon as possible." Liu Muzhe said.
Wang Zhiyi shook his head at Liu Muzhe: "This bag is made in a special way. There is no trace of scent left on it. Even with my sense of smell, I can't track it. This person's strength should be no less than ours."
"I've dealt with him once, and I don't know how strong he is, but he runs very fast and is good at hiding, so it's really difficult to catch him." Liu Muzhe sighed. He hated dealing with people like this who like to hide themselves.
"I'll go with you, but we have to wait until Zimu recovers. I'm worried about leaving him here alone." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Stop talking nonsense! Take good care of Old Qiu. I still have to talk to my sister about something." Ye Jing'an gave instructions for a long time before leaving the hospital with Liu Muzhe.
Ye Jingning and Wu Yuling were waiting for them at the barbecue restaurant. They were talking about the complicated relationships between Ye Jingan and the other four when Ye Jingan and Liu Muzhe arrived.
"Sister, Sister Yuling has been waiting for a long time. Why don't you go back and rest first?" Ye Jing'an said.
"Look at the situation today, how can I sleep when I go back? What big thing are you hiding from us?" Ye Jingning asked.
"Uncle Zhou, who saved Brother Liu last time, his daughter's soul was captured by someone, and the ghost is hiding in that script-killing store. We don't have enough people, so we asked you to come in and open a book to take a look." Ye Jing'an said in a gentle voice.
"You should have said it earlier! You are planning to use your sister as cannon fodder." Ye Jingning rolled his eyes and pulled Wu Yuling away.
Ye Jingan stopped the two of them and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, sister. I'm just afraid that if I tell you, you won't come."
"Don't try to play tricks on me, this bastard has been bad since he was little!" Ye Jingning looked at Liu Muzhe and sneered, "Brother Liu, you learned bad things from him. If he doesn't tell you, you won't tell him either, right?!"
"No." Liu Muzhe's tone was a little weak. He felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ye Jingning, and signaled Ye Jingan to save the situation with his eyes.
"Brother Liu wanted to tell you to come here, but I didn't let him. I didn't know you liked playing script-killing games, and I didn't want to affect your gaming. It's not easy for my sister, who is so busy, to come out and play." Ye Jing'an pulled him back to his seat.
His elder sister is thick-skinned and has been used to cheating since she was a child, so it's not a big problem. However, Sister Yuling can't be compared with his elder sister. Ye Jing'an said to Wu Yuling with an apologetic look: "Sister Yuling, I'm sorry about this."
Wu Yuling smiled and shook her head, saying that the characters she drew were relatively fringe, and there weren't any particularly scary tasks, so she wasn't frightened at all. Furthermore, after becoming the school principal, she discovered that ghosts weren't actually that scary after all; on the contrary, some people frightened her more.
After Ye Jing'an warned her about the boss who gave her the villa, she began to be wary. As expected, the boss thought she was quite capable and, fearing that her position would be jeopardized, tried to drag her down with him. If she hadn't been on guard, she would have fallen for his trick.
Wu Yuling thought of Qiu Zimu's painful expression lying on the ground at that time, and felt a little worried. She asked Ye Jingan how Qiu Zimu was doing now.
"I almost had my soul sucked away, luckily Wang Zhiyi is here. Now I should be fine after resting for a while. By the way, sister, I need your help." Ye Jingan said.
"What's the matter?" Ye Jingning asked.
"Please help me keep an eye on where ceremonies related to soul sacrifice are being held." Ye Jing'an handed her the black bag.
Ye Jingning stared at the bag for a while and said, "I seem to have seen this bag before, but I don't remember it. I'll go check it for you."
"Thank you, sister. I'll treat you to dinner some other day!" Ye Jing'an said.
"Okay, we really need to have a meal together." Ye Jingning said with a smile.
"What's with that expression on your face? Do you want to eat up all my money?!" Ye Jing'an asked with narrowed eyes.
"No, I'll send Yuling back first. Next time I want to eat, I'll call you. You must come! Otherwise, I won't help you check." Ye Jingning said.
"Okay, okay, just eat whatever you want." Ye Jing'an coaxed.
The next morning, Ye Jing'an and Liu Muze bought breakfast and arrived at the hospital. Although Qiu Zimu hadn't woken up yet, his complexion had returned to normal. Wang Zhiyi, who was sitting next to him, looked even paler than Qiu Zimu, with dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he had been up all night watching over him.
Ye Jing'an stared at Wang Zhiyi in a trance. Qiu Zimu had always had a smile on his face, playing with his little bugs all day long, as if nothing was sad. But Ye Jing'an knew that Qiu Zimu was actually very lonely. He wanted to have many friends to play with, but others were afraid of him. He often stood quietly by and watched them play.
Qiu Zimu was a simpleton, not very shrewd person. He was always being schemed against and easily frightened. Ye Jingan liked to tease him, but if anything happened, he would always protect Qiu Zimu.
Qiu Zimu had only Ye Jingan as a friend since childhood, and he liked to follow him in everything. However, Ye Jingan found that since he and Brother Liu got together, Qiu Zimu had been deliberately keeping a distance from him. He no longer played crazy with him like before, and even rarely got close to him.
Ye Jing'an knew what Qiu Zimu was thinking. They were actually quite similar in many ways, especially in their sense of propriety. Qiu Zimu was already afraid of Brother Liu, and after seeing Brother Liu's jealous anger at the nightclub, Qiu Zimu definitely stayed away from him.
Ye Jingan smiled helplessly. He really couldn't have it both ways. If Lao Qiu had found a man as a partner, he would have kept his distance. But then Qiu Zimu would have returned to his previous lonely state. Fortunately, Wang Zhiyi appeared to accompany him.
At first, Ye Jing'an had no doubt that Wang Zhiyi was not a good person and must have some ulterior motive in approaching Qiu Zimu. Although this Qiu man wouldn't carry any particularly precious treasures, his Qiu family had many heirlooms, so he might have set his sights on some of his family's treasures.
Ye Jing'an and Liu Muze kept their eyes on Wang Zhiyi, but he didn't make any big moves. Ye Jing'an just thought he was more patient. Words and actions can deceive, but eyes can't. From this moment on, Ye Jing'an was truly relieved that Wang Zhiyi stayed with Qiu Zimu.
"What are you daydreaming about? Why don't you go in?" Liu Muzhe asked.
"I'm happy for Lao Qiu. He's met a friend who truly treats him well." Ye Jing'an smiled, walked into the ward and said to Wang Zhiyi, "You go get some sleep. We'll keep watch over you."
Wang Zhiyi shook his head to refuse, but his eyes were still fixed on Qiu Zimu.
"If you give your essence to him, you will be targeted by others. Take this first." Liu Muzhe handed him a talisman.
"No need. Even in this state, others may not be able to beat me." Wang Zhiyi said disdainfully.
"Don't talk big. If something happens to you, Old Qiu will not feel good either. Have some breakfast and take a nap. We will be here to watch over you. What do you have to worry about?" Ye Jing'an said.
Wang Zhiyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, call me when he wakes up."
"Yeah." Ye Jing'an looked at Qiu Zimu and sighed, "That bug really didn't pick on you. It's a pity that you are such a straight man."
"You stay here to guard him, I'll go check the origins of this bag." Liu Muzhe said.
"Well, be careful." Ye Jing'an held Liu Muzhe's hand.
"Don't worry." Liu Muzhe said.
Watching Liu Muze walk out of the ward, Ye Jing'an felt a little choked up. The words the man in black had said before resurfaced in his mind. He felt as if he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't recall a single thing. Ye Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to dwell on it. Once he caught the man, everything would become clear.
After a day of IV drip, Qiu Zimu woke up at night. He looked around and finally stopped at Ye Jingan in a daze.
"Old Qiu, you're awake! How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"Who are you?" Qiu Zimu asked in confusion.
"Damn, is this true? I'm going to make you lose your memory?" Ye Jing'an waved his hand in front of him, then called Wang Zhiyi to tell him that Qiu Zimu had woken up.
Wang Zhiyi rushed over quickly, holding Qiu Zimu's shoulders, looking left and right, and asked anxiously: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I just feel a little dizzy." Qiu Zimu held his head.
"Then do you know who I am?" Wang Zhiyi asked again.
"I know him, Wang Zhiyi." Qiu Zimu said.
"Mr. Qiu, you value love over friendship, right? You remember him but not me?!" Ye Jing'an glared.
"Hehehe, I was just teasing you. Look at how silly you look." Qiu Zimu sneered.
Ye Jingan: “…”
"By the way, why am I in the hospital?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"Your feet were pulled by a ghost, don't you remember?" Ye Jing'an said.
"I told you I didn't want to go play, but you insisted on asking me to go. I'm always the one who gets hurt..." Qiu Zimu complained.
"I'm sorry, I failed to protect you. There won't be a next time." Wang Zhiyi said.
"What does it have to do with you? It's okay, I'm very strong!" Qiu Zimu jumped out of bed. His arms and legs felt uncomfortable all over. When his grandmother died and was hospitalized when he was a child, it might have left a psychological trauma in him. Now he was lying in the hospital and always felt like he had trouble breathing.
If he continued to sleep in the hospital tonight, he would probably recall those childhood events and have nightmares and couldn't sleep well. So he yelled at Ye Jingan and Wang Zhiyi to complete the discharge procedures for him so that he could go home and sleep.
Wang Zhiyi and Ye Jingan called a doctor to check him out. Seeing that he was fine and in good spirits, they took him home to rest.
