Chapter 33 Paper Man City 30
Jiang Yuelu hummed, "It's him. I saw his face in the prompt... By the way, didn't you also see the prompt?"
Turning around, I saw two shadows that had retreated a hundred meters away. The sound seemed very empty through the ancestral hall, but I could still hear the two people crying: "Mom, the boss is here, why is he not afraid at all!"
There are others who have the same questions as them.
"You don't seem afraid at all?" The young man who appeared beside him without anyone noticing asked with interest.
Jiang Yuelu didn't want to call him a boy anymore, it was not polite. But it was not a good time to ask for his name. Besides, he had heard from Leng Jing that ghosts usually don't tell others their real names, so they might not tell it even if asked.
The boy said unhappily, "You're distracted."
"Ah? Oh. I was thinking seriously about how to answer your question."
This answer obviously pleased him, and his expression eased a lot. Jiang Yuelu didn't expect that the trick she used to deal with her sister would also be useful on him.
Going back to the previous question, he explained: "Because I didn't sense any danger from him."
As the saying goes, if a person wants to kill someone, he can't hide his eyes. But Qin Xue, who suddenly appeared here, didn't seem to have any desire to fight or kill. To put it bluntly, he was the one who should be furious at the moment, but he was less noticeable than the stones in the ruins.
And he's a ghost.
The murderous intent, malice, and hatred of ghosts are many times higher than those of humans. In this respect, he is not as good as Mrs. Zhu. With such a person standing in front of you, it is really hard to connect him with the [devil who planned everything] and [the first and only big boss of Paper Man City].
Zhao Xiaoxuan and Chen Chuan were still a hundred meters away, wailing: "He's moving, he's moving, he's coming, he's coming..."
But Qin Xue just walked over dejectedly and knelt in front of Jiang Yuelu.
Jiang Yuelu: “…”
Zhao Xiaoxuan and Chen Chuan: "..."
The only one who was not surprised was the "captor" from the ghost world beside him. Jiang Yuelu realized later that Qin Xue was kneeling to him.
It turns out that he has a high seniority in the ghost world?
"That one." Jiang Yuelu asked, "Is he the rebellious son you are looking for?"
“I guess so.”
Jiang Yuelu's eyes scanned his abdomen suspiciously. The boy's ears gradually turned red, feeling uncomfortable being stared at. He said angrily, "It's not my child."
Jiang Yuelu nodded. That must be someone else's child.
It was the first time for him to see a ghost that could give birth to a child, and he exclaimed in admiration: "I can't believe that a ghost fetus grows so fast? The child looks older than the father."
Qin Xue: “…”
Even he, who had no energy at all, couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Jiang Yuelu.
She was immediately stepped into the gravel pile, her whole body screaming in pain, but she didn't dare to complain. She heard a cold voice above her head, "Don't lift your head up." Qin Xue quickly agreed.
The kick came so suddenly that Jiang Yuelu only felt a strong wind blowing his hair.
The boy's face turned red. "It's not mine, nor is it born for me by someone else. 'Rebellious son' is just a term, do you understand?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "I understand."
"Then stop looking at my...my..."
"My belly." Jiang Yuelu said it for him and apologized, "I won't look at it again."
Taking a deep breath, the young man pressed his forehead and said, "Don't talk anymore."
Jiang Yuelu nodded: "Okay, you guys chat first."
He thought the two had something to discuss and it was inconvenient for him to be there, so he went to find Zhao Xiaoxuan and Chen Chuan, and explained the relationship between Master Xia and Qin Xue. Hearing that these two ghosts were from the Ghost Capital, the two opened their eyes as wide as their mouths, and Jiang Yuelu helped them close them one by one.
Chen Chuan shook his head, "Brother, do you understand? You were just chatting and laughing with two ghosts."
Jiang Yuelu thought, No, I just observed the family education methods in the ghost world from a close distance. It's quite rough.
As the three were talking, they heard Young Master Xia suddenly calling them over.
Jiang Yuelu comforted them, "Don't be afraid, he's a nice guy. He helped me divert the enemy before, acted as an actor for me for free, and even gave me a ride."
Chen Chuan: “…” What the hell is going on!
The three of them approached and saw the big boss of this copy, Qin Xue, kneeling on the ground. Her face was bruised and swollen, and there was a large pool of blood next to her head. It seemed that she had experienced brutal treatment. They doubted Jiang Yuelu's claim that he was a "good person" even more.
Seeing Jiang Yuelu coming over, the young master seemed very happy, "You still have a question to answer?"
Jiang Yuelu nodded.
Master Xia asked, "Will you answer?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "I don't know what the topic is yet."
"That's easy. Just ask."
Soon the three of them saw the simple and rough way of questioning. A kick flew to the back of Qin Xue's head, and she slammed into the ground, spitting out blood. "The question... The question is me, explain my identity..."
Master Xia was very happy: "Did you hear it?"
Jiang Yuelu felt mixed emotions: "Yeah... I heard it."
"Will you answer? I think so!"
He nodded.
The young master shouted "Long live" twice, clasped his hands together with a smile, "Then just try to answer it. If there is anything you are not clear about, just ask again." They had already seen how to ask and who to ask.
But why did he do that?
Giving himself points for free might seem like an act of flattery, but he wouldn't be so self-indulgent as to really think so.
Jiang Yuelu thought about it, and then asked tentatively: "Is there another additional question that you can answer?"
"There are additional questions? How come I didn't know that?" He glanced at Qin Xue, who was shivering on the ground, with dissatisfaction, and readily agreed to Jiang Yuelu: "Of course, answer as many questions as you can."
Jiang Yuelu said: "Then I'll give it a try. If there are any mistakes, please point them out."
Master Xia asked, "Did you hear that?"
"I heard it." Qin Xue wiped the blood off her face, slowly sat up, and began to listen to Jiang Yuelu's answer.
-
Jiang Yuelu is feeling quite subtle right now.
The boss was sitting opposite, and the two groups that had been fighting each other to the death were also sitting opposite each other, with only a table in the middle to put some sunflower seeds on. This weird and relaxed atmosphere was created by the young master named Xia.
He was getting a little impatient.
Jiang Yuelu coughed and said, "Hmm...where should I start?"
Chen Chuan asked: "Teacher Jiang. You have known for a long time that he is the villain behind the scenes, right... Ahhh, I'm not talking about you!" He blurted out subconsciously pointing at Qin Xue. Chen Chuan wanted to cry but had no tears. Damn it, it's all the atmosphere's fault. The atmosphere now is too relaxed!
Jiang Yuelu didn't mind his strange name and nodded, "It's not that difficult."
Qin Xue asked in a low voice: "Really?"
Jiang Yuelu changed the subject and talked about something unrelated: "We heard crying several times after we entered the city. I wonder if you still remember it."
Zhao Xiaoxuan nodded rapidly, "I know! Xinhui said so. They heard crying on their way in. Didn't you and Yu Xiong also say at the dinner table that there were crying sounds at night?"
Jiang Yuelu concluded: "The crying always occurs at night, when traveling at night or in the middle of the night."
He told the story of going out with Master Xia to explore the wing room at night again. Chen Chuan couldn't help but look at the young man who was listening with great interest, thinking that the relationship between the two was really good. However, he couldn't imagine what it felt like to take a walk in the middle of the night with the big ghost who kicked the boss's head.
In a sense, Brother Lu is truly a god.
"The weird thing is that the crying sound seemed to lead me to the side room on purpose." Jiang Yuelu paused, "Later I realized it was a hint. Someone was telling us to pay attention to Madam Zhu and the portrait. It's haunted."
"But who could this person be?"
Chen Chuan's eyes lit up: "It must be Mr. Huang, he has wanted to expose all this for a long time!"
Jiang Yuelu said: "No."
Zhao Xiaoxuan: "Could it be Zhang the Butcher? You see, you met him first that night, and then you heard the crying."
Jiang Yuelu said: "That's not right either."
Looking at the two people who were discouraged, Jiang Yuelu smiled and said, "In fact, this person is not from South Town, nor from North Town. It's strange that you could find out in advance."
The two of them beat their chests and said madly, "Who is it?"
Jiang Yuelu replied: "Liu Shitou."
"Liu Shitou?" Zhao Xiaoxuan was surprised. "Isn't he from Beizhen? And he died later... Hey?"
"You've also discovered something wrong, right? If he was from North Town, he wouldn't really be executed. Each of them has a corresponding relationship with South Town in terms of life support. And Liu Shitou himself mentioned that he is an orphan with no relatives, and grew up eating food from many families."
"So his death was a false alarm, a way to escape."
Chen Chuan was confused. "What do you mean, he's not dead, right?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "Of course he won't die. Because he still has a hundred-year plan to plan, right, Qin Xue?"
Qin Xue laughed: "You've already seen it."
Jiang Yuelu shook her head: "That's not the case. I didn't know that Liu Shitou was played by Qin Xue."
"That night the townspeople disappeared. I went to see the skeletons in the paper and checked the coffins, but there were no bodies inside. At the time I just thought it was strange that the death was faked."
Qin Xue said: "I see. You really did a lot that night."
Jiang Yuelu said, "At that time, I didn't know that you were a wanted criminal who had defected from Ghost City. It was only after listening to this... young master's explanation that I realized that you might have faked your death to hide from others."
Qin Xue seemed greatly shocked after hearing this.
He said carefully: "...Sir, do we have to tell him these things too? He will be returning to the human world, and the wizards may also know about it."
Master Xia glanced at him and said, "So what?"
"No." He lowered his head again, "I know, but I shouldn't ask about it."
"Okay. Go on. Don't waste time." Young Master Xia urged impatiently.
Chen Chuan wanted to ask a long time ago: "I have another question! Teacher Jiang. There is no one in the coffin, and Liu Shitou is an orphan...Is it not rigorous to infer that he pretended to be Liu Shitou based on these reasons?"
"Look, it's indeed most convenient for him to pretend to be Liu Shitou, and he can also keep an eye on the disobedient Master Zhu anytime and anywhere...but isn't this too result-oriented?"
"I know." Jiang Yuelu nodded and said, "But hasn't Liu Shitou been telling us the answer?"
Chen Chuan was horrified when he heard this: "Where is he?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "Those crying sounds."
"I felt strange when I first heard the crying because it didn't seem to be the voice of just one person. There were men and women, elders and children. Later, when I chatted with Qin Xue during the Ghost Festival, I learned that Liu Shitou learned shadow puppetry from an old craftsman."
Chen Chuan said: "Yes, yes! When we went to Zuixianlou, there was still his shadow puppet in the room."
Jiang Yuelu said: "Through learning since childhood, opera singers can imitate any voice perfectly. Even after ten years, his voice has not deteriorated at all."
"He hid in the city for ten years. He was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't dare to perform too obviously. So he could only blend in with the wind at night, using his crying to guide those who came later to discover his secret and help him get revenge."
"For those who are more timid, hearing such terrible cries at night would make them run away immediately and stay away from this ghost town."
"He has saved a lot of people over the years."
Qin Xue said: "If that's the case, we shouldn't have let him live in the first place."
He had no passion at all, and only looked like an evil spirit when he said this.
Jiang Yuelu said, "Then here comes my question, Qin Xue. Since you have gone to such great lengths to fake your own death in order to avoid capture, why don't you take advantage of the limited time that Madam Zhu has bought for you and quickly escape? Although it is indeed a good thing to catch you, your actions are somewhat contrary to common sense."
Qin Xue said: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Yuelu said: "You are stalling for others, right?"
Qin Xue paused, her tone stiffened, "I said, it has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Yuelu said, "Look at you. You have no temper even when you are provoked. Are you really the god of death who controls the life and death of the whole town, Qin Xue?"
"Or so." Jiang Yuelu changed the subject, moving his gaze away from Qin Xue and looking at the arresting chief who seemed to be smiling, "Master Xia, is the defector you are here to arrest someone else?"
"bite--"
The system, which had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but make a sound.
This was the first time in ten years that it had made the following announcement, and even it itself was a little excited, saying congratulations three times on its face.
"Congratulations to the examinees, congratulations to the examinees, congratulations to Jiang Yuelu!"
"You have triggered an additional question, which may refresh the record of this exam. Please keep up the good work!"
