Han Lenian and Xiang Zhengqi planned to meet at a western restaurant near the school.
To be honest, after Han Lenian found the place according to the address, he almost turned around and left.
He suspected that after he went in, he might be kicked out because he couldn't pay the bill... No, in this case, he would probably be sent to the police station...
While he was still hesitating, the waiter at the door had already come forward and asked politely, "Excuse me, Mr. Han?"
Han Lenian looked at the other person's standard three-piece suit and vest, then looked at his own T-shirt, shorts and sneakers. He really wanted to shake his head and say "no", then turn around and leave.
But it was obvious that the other party's "Excuse me" was just a question, and in fact his identity had already been confirmed. No matter how confused Han Lenian was, he was still led in.
Because Zhuang Zhan solemnly referred to the other party as "Mr. Xiang" when introducing him in the message, and the place they met was so formal.
Han Lenian originally thought he would meet an elite in a suit and tie. Considering his profession, he might also be a dignified middle-aged man in a Taoist robe or a Tang suit. But when he was led to a young man who was dressed casually like him, with messy long hair, typing away on a keyboard, and looked out of place in this elegant western restaurant, he was a little slow to react.
It was not until the waiter who brought him bowed and reminded him, "Sir, the guests have arrived," that Han Lenian realized that the person in front of him was "Mr. Xiang."
And because of the other person's appearance, his nerves, which had been tense since he came in, subtly relaxed a lot.
——Seems to be a very easy-going person.
Just as Han Lenian felt, the other party did not ask any difficult questions. He only asked about the situation in the cave. When he heard that he had overturned the monster, his breath was unstable for a moment. Han Lenian also relied on his intuition about crisis and did not describe the scene in detail. Moreover, his mind was focused on the safety of his brother at the time, and he did not pay much attention to the monster.
As Xiang Zhengqi listened to Han Lenian's description, the guess in his heart that he didn't want to come true was confirmed again and again -
They were easily repelled;
(Mao Xingchang: I’m so sorry for being such a bad cook.)
Although he had the opportunity to attack, he still suppressed his instinct and stayed where he was;
(Mao Xingchang: I’m just not good at fighting, but I’m not stupid. Will I get beaten up if I rush forward?)
Unexplained cave collapse...
(Mao Xingchang: This really has nothing to do with me!)
Xiang Zhengqi couldn't help but close his eyes.
The child is still the same, always driving people away without leaving any trace.
Even if it happens again, even if he becomes a ghost again, he will still be the child who doesn't want to hurt anyone...
Xiang Zhengqi typed on the special laptop based on Han Lenian's description, and soon he reconstructed the situation at that time.
After a brief moment of surprise and admiration, Han Lenian looked at the simulated scene above and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The model that the other party built for the eye-catching monster was a small black one, like a Q-version man with red eyes, which looked quite cute.
However, Han Lenian really couldn't connect such a cute thing with that alien.
But, never mind...
Maybe it is difficult to build a human-shaped model, so in this model, he and his brother are both stick figures.
The roughly restored scene was affirmed by Han Lenian, and Xiang Zhengqi just nodded silently.
The reason why he wanted to meet Han Lenian in person was actually for another reason——
He wanted Han Lenian to help him identify the scent of Sheng Lu after he turned into a ghost.
Just like everyone's spiritual energy is different, each ghost's resentment is also different. This is why Xiang Zhengqi easily found the target by following the marks on Zhuang Zhan's body on the Ghost Mountain that day, and easily helped him solve the problem.
But Shenglu's situation was different. His power was actually spiritual power, so Xiang Zhengqi and Li Shengru could identify his spiritual power in the ruins. The reason he turned into a ghost was that he absorbed too much resentment, which destroyed the balance in his body. The resentment he showed was consistent with the resentment that broke the balance, so he couldn't confirm Shenglu's location based on the previous breath this time.
The aura he felt in the ruins over there, besides Shenglu's meager spiritual power, also included all kinds of mixed grievances that clearly belonged to different ghosts and evil spirits. Even though he was good at identification, he couldn't tell which aura belonged to Shenglu.
But since Shenglu was able to regain consciousness briefly and use his spiritual power at this time, it proved that the situation was not the worst.
——This time, there’s still time!
He had just enough time to pull him back!
Xiang Zhengqi clicked twice on the screen to open an interface, then turned the laptop screen towards Han Lenian and asked him to identify which scent sample was more similar to the monster he encountered in the cave.
Han Lenian looked at the Q-version figures on the screen and once again seemed to be hesitant to speak.
but……
It could also be someone's hobby.
And he could actually feel the resentment through the computer. Han Lenian couldn't help but think of the game called "Seeing Difference".
#Is this kind of thing so common?#
#It turns out that I am the one who is ignorant#
He closed his eyes and tried to distinguish, but his brows became tighter and tighter.
Xiang Zhengqi looked at his expression and roughly knew the result.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart -
It really doesn’t work.
Even among the Taoist priests inherited from aristocratic families, being able to accurately distinguish the auras of different ghosts is a rare talent.
This is what children from aristocratic families are trained for since childhood. Perhaps they can barely distinguish them even without this kind of talent. However, the young man in front of him obviously did not have the opportunity to receive systematic teaching.
Xiang Zhengqi rubbed his eyes, which were already a little sore from working all night, and was about to call a halt, but Han Lenian opened his eyes first.
The boy said apologetically: "Sorry..."
Xiang Zhengqi shook his head. "No need to apologize. I was just forcing you to do what you want."
He was actually not free, and it was already a great effort for him to find time to meet here. As he said this, he had already stood up and was packing up the things on the table, as if he was getting ready to leave.
But Han Lenian hesitated for a moment, then stopped him, "No, not these... uh, I mean, they are different from the grievances recorded in the computer."
Xiang Zhengqi paused as he put his laptop into his bag.
He frowned: Could there be any resentment at the scene that he had not recorded?
He rarely makes such mistakes when doing things, but thinking about his confused state at the time, he was not very sure for a moment.
Han Lenian hesitated for a while, but still expressed his feelings truthfully, "It's a bit like each of them, but none of them are... It seems more complicated, more... chaotic..."
He organized his words for a long time and finally came up with a less abstract description, "…it's like mixing these smells together, like mixing paints."
"Bang——"
Xiang Zhengqi dropped the half-received computer to the ground with a heavy thud, but because the outer shell was specially made, there was no damage on the surface.
But Han Lenian had no time to pay attention to these things at the moment. Almost at the moment when the computer fell, he jumped several steps back and subconsciously made a defensive posture towards Xiang Zhengqi. It was extremely rude to make such a sudden move. Obviously, Mr. Xiang was just standing there and didn't do anything special.
However, the chilling sense of crisis made Han Lenian unable to even do the simple action of lowering his arms.
——You will die!
Run away! !
The voice in my head was shouting like this, but my body seemed to be frozen and couldn't move at all.
…
Xiang Zhengqi obviously didn't care whether the guests he invited were polite or not.
He just felt a buzzing in his head and large patches of dizziness in front of his eyes. He even had to reach out to hold on to the table to barely stand.
Fate is so ridiculous.
——Every time he thought it was the worst possible outcome, reality would always tell him that the actual situation could be even worse.
Mixed.
Under what circumstances would such a mixed smell appear?
In order to bring the ghost back to life, Xiang Zhengqi, who had read almost all the books he could find, including those on forbidden techniques, knew the answer. He let the ghosts devour each other like raising a Gu, and then left behind the strongest and most powerful part...
…
…………
Han Lenian saw the man slowly turn his head and look at him, but his gaze seemed empty, as if he was looking at him, but also as if he was not looking at him.
The chilling sense of danger had not yet faded, and the owner of the danger was staring at him like this. Han Lenian was so stiff that his mind went blank. The other party seemed to ask him a few questions, but in that situation, Han Lenian couldn't even remember what he answered.
He only remembered that the other party said "thank you" at the end, then turned around and left quickly.
The source of the sense of crisis disappeared from the room, and Han Lenian seemed to come back to life, clutching his collar and gasping for breath.
He finally understood why Zhuang Zhan called the other party "Mr. Xiang" respectfully.
Fear welled up in his body, and Han Lenian's legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. He forced himself to take a few steps forward, wanting to grab a chair to sit on, but the moment he approached the table, he realized something was wrong and took a few steps back.
Just as he stepped back, the chandelier above the table exploded with a beeping sound, and the next moment the debris fell and floated around, the entire lamp stand suddenly fell down. In the blink of an eye, the scene before his eyes turned into a messy ruin.
Han Lenian: “…”
So...if he hadn't dodged quickly at that time, would this lamp and this table be his fate?
He finally understood the source of that hair-raising sense of crisis.
——Who on earth is that Mr. Xiang? !
But before he could figure out what was going on, there was a gentle knock on the door of the box and the waiter's gentle voice came from outside.
"Sir, are you all right?"
Han Lenian: “!!!”
The sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows that take up an entire wall. Sawdust dances in the air and the fragments of water mirror on the ground reflect the bright light, bringing a strange and gorgeous beauty.
However, when Han Lenian looked at the scene in front of him, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and his heart almost stopped beating.
——Pay, pay, pay…I can’t afford it!
#PupilEarthquake.jpg#
Han Lenian replied stiffly: "...It's okay."
At the same time, he looked around tremblingly, and finally his eyes fixed on the huge window.
——If he breaks the glass and jumps out of the window to escape now, is it too late? ! !
