In a blink of an eye, a week had passed since Lin Shuangyu was arrested. Just when Lin Nan was curious about whether the hypnosis on Song Wei had been cleared, Song Ranran suddenly called her and asked her to have dinner together.
At 5pm, Lin finished her gathering at the amusement park early and took the subway to the restaurant she and Song Ranran had agreed to meet. When she arrived at the destination, she found that it was a high-end private restaurant. In the past, Song Ranran knew her financial situation and never made an appointment to eat at a place where the average per capita consumption exceeded 100 yuan. Why did she make an appointment at such a high-end place this time?
Could it be that I am gradually becoming a rich man? How come I have a monthly income of NT$35,000?
As Lin Xi was thinking this, a car drove over and stopped in front of her.
"Lin." Song Ranran's voice came out from the car before the door was opened, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Song Ranran got out of the car and walked in front of Lin Yan, her eyes full of happiness.
"No, I just arrived and was about to call you." While Lin Yan was talking to Song Ranran, she caught a glimpse of Song Wei getting out of the car.
Song Wei noticed Lin Xi's gaze, and suddenly nodded at her and returned a polite smile.
Lin Xi's eyes widened. Was it because of hypnosis? He suddenly became so polite. It was really a bit uncomfortable.
"Ranran, go in first." Song Wei said to Song Ranran as he handed the car keys to the doorman and asked him to park the car.
"Yes, let's go in first. The food here is delicious. It's a rare opportunity for me to eat here. But my brother is treating us today, so we can have a grand meal." Song Ranran took Lin Wan's hand and walked inside.
Song Wei is treating? Lin Yan glanced at Song Wei suspiciously.
Song Wei very gentlemanly took half a step back to let the two ladies go in first.
Fortunately, after entering, Song Wei did not eat with them, but made an appointment with another client to discuss business in a private room, otherwise Lin Xi would not be able to finish this meal.
After ordering the dishes, Lin asked casually, "Why did your brother suddenly invite us to dinner?"
"Actually, I don't know. He was right beside me when I was talking to you on the phone. When he heard that I wanted to invite you to dinner, he suddenly said he would treat you." Song Ranran said, "I always feel like he treated you specially."
Treat her to a meal? What is this, an apology for past behavior?
"Tell me, does my brother like you?" Song Ranran said in a shocking tone.
"Puff!" Lin almost spit a mouthful of tea on Song Ranran's face, "Are you kidding me?"
"Are you too happy or too surprised?" Song Ranran asked.
"I'm so shocked. I don't even want your brother, even if he's given to me." Even though she knew that Song Wei became like that because of Lin Shuangyu's hypnosis, Lin Yan couldn't forget the ridicule Song Wei had said to her. For Song Wei, not bearing a grudge was the greatest tolerance she could show.
"elder brother?"
"Yes, that's your brother."
After Lin Xi finished replying, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere was a little strange. She turned around and saw that Song Wei had been standing behind them without her knowing when.
Song Ranran didn't expect her brother to come over so suddenly. Thinking of what she had just said, she was immediately embarrassed. She didn't want any misunderstanding between her good friend and her brother. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Song Wei say, "Uncle Ma is also having dinner here. Go over and say hello."
Song Wei pointed in a direction.
"Uncle Ma is here too?" This Uncle Ma was Song Ranran's father's business partner, and the two families were old friends. Upon hearing this, Song Ranran was about to stand up and say hello, but thinking of what had just happened, she felt a little worried.
"Go ahead." Song Wei smiled at his sister.
Song Ranran hesitated for a moment, but still left. She felt that with her brother's upbringing, he would not treat her friend badly because of such a sentence. Besides, it would be more embarrassing to explain it in person, so it would be better for her to explain it after returning home.
Compared to Song Ranran's nervousness, Lin Wei was much calmer. Song Wei was just hypnotized, not losing his memory. What he said before was much more excessive than what she just said.
"Feel sorry."
Lin Xi raised her eyes in surprise. She thought Song Wei might not dare to get angry with her, but she didn't expect him to apologize.
"I apologize to you for some of my previous behavior. You are my sister's friend. I have no right and no position to say those words. It is really rude." Song Wei apologized to Lin Yan in a sincere tone, "I know that the harm I have caused you may not be resolved by an apology, and you don't have to forgive me. I just hope that this will not affect the relationship between you and Ranran. She really regards you as a friend."
Lin Xi has always been a soft-hearted person, so Song Wei's sudden apology made her suddenly not know how to react.
Is there such a big change after recovering from the illness?
"You are you, and Ranran is Ranran." After a moment of silence, Lin Xi replied.
"Thank you. I won't bother you anymore then." After apologizing, Lin Xi also said that she would not get angry with Ran Ran because of him. His goal was achieved. Song Wei knew that he was not welcome, so he did not dare to stay any longer and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Lin Yan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly... change?"
She was very curious about how the hypnotized person felt after waking up.
"Actually, I'm not very clear about it. It's just that a few days ago, I suddenly had a feeling of... waking up from a dream." Song Wei didn't know how to describe the feeling. It was as if he had a dream. In the dream, he seemed to have become another person, arrogant and rude, and even used words to slander his sister's friends.
And An Lei.
Thinking of An Lei, Song Wei's mood obviously dropped.
"Brother, you're still here. What did you two talk about?" Song Ranran, who had been worried about this place, hurried back after saying hello.
"There's nothing to talk about. You guys eat. I'll get busy." Song Wei nodded to Lin Nan and left.
"What did my brother say to you?" Song Ranran asked Lin Xi.
"We didn't say anything, just chatted for a few minutes. Do you think your brother has changed a little?" Lin Nan asked back.
"You noticed it too? I also feel that my brother has changed a little these two days, but I can't tell exactly where. It might be because Lin Shuangyu doesn't bother him anymore, so he is in a good mood." Song Ranran guessed.
Lin Shuangyu? After Lin Yan handed Lin Shuangyu to the law enforcement team, she had not paid attention to her since then. When Song Ranran mentioned her, she couldn't help but gossip, "Lin Shuangyu doesn't like your brother anymore?"
"She was caught by the police." Song Ranran said.
"Why was he arrested?" Lin asked in surprise. She thought that the law enforcement team would definitely give Lin Shuangyu's parents a reason for her disappearance, but if she was arrested by the police, there must be a crime. Lin Shuangyu did commit a crime, but as she said, hypnosis cannot be used as evidence, at least not openly.
"It's said to be a scam, I don't know the details." Song Ranran sighed, and then said, "But I finally know why Uncle Lin's family is so well-off, but Lin Shuangyu is so vain."
"Why?"
"It turns out that she is not Uncle Lin's daughter, but Uncle Lin's adopted daughter a few years ago." Speaking of this, Song Ranran was confused. "It's strange. For someone like Lin Shuangyu, what do you think Uncle Lin likes about her? He treats her better than his own son."
Because I was hypnotized.
This girl is really amazing. I thought it was amazing that she used hypnosis to find a husband for herself, but I didn't expect that she could also use hypnosis to change her parents.
The two chatted for a while, and the dishes were served one after another. They ate while chatting. When they were almost done, Song Ranran suddenly handed Lin Yan a concert ticket: "Tomorrow is the weekend, accompany me to the concert tonight."
Lin Yan glanced at it and said, "Death Rose Concert, Jing Lu?"
The star who wanted to die the day before yesterday?
"Yes, it's Jing Lu's. You will never guess where I got the concert tickets." Song Ranran said happily.
"Where are you from?" Lin asked.
"Do you remember the letter Qianqian sent to me? She's the girl I met at lunch when I accompanied you to the home furnishing mall last time." Song Ranran reminded.
"The one who said you're rich and great?" Lin Xi thought about it.
"Yes, she took the initiative to send me a message today and gave me a concert ticket, saying that she wanted to be friends with me again. If I am willing, I can go to the concert and she will wait for me at the concert entrance. If I am not willing, I can transfer the ticket money to her and it will be considered as the ticket I bought." Song Ranran was so happy when she thought about this, "She wanted to apologize to me, but she was too embarrassed."
Lin Xi was stunned. Did Song Wei not only apologize to her, but also apologize to Qian Qian?
Apart from this possibility, she really couldn't imagine what else could have caused Qianqian's sudden change.
"Now that you've given me the ticket, what will you do?" Lin asked.
"This is the ticket I bought before. Qianqian gave me one now, so I have extra tickets. So I wanted to give it to you." Song Ranran said.
Lin had never watched a concert before. She was casually flipping through the ticket when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the amount on the back of the ticket: VIP, backstage, second row, 8 seats, 3,888 yuan.
"Your ticket is too expensive, why don't you sell it? Isn't Jing Lu a top star? Many people must want to see her concert." Lin Xi was not a fan of Jing Lu, and as long as she thought that the person singing on the stage was a patient who wanted to die at any time, she was in no mood to listen to the song.
"No, as a fan, how can I do such a thing as scalping tickets?" Song Ranran said in a serious tone, "And do you know how hard it is to buy tickets for this concert? You have to make a reservation with your ID card one month in advance, and only 10,000 people bought tickets out of the last 100,000 reservations. I worked so hard to get the tickets, and you actually let me sell them to others. No, if you don't go to see it, I'd rather waste them."
"Okay." Song Ranran had already said this. What else could Lin Ping say? She had to go just for the 3888.
At the same time, in a five-star hotel next to the Jinshi Stadium, a man wearing a bathrobe, with white hair and a faint blue flame totem on his chest was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the stadium not far away.
Suddenly, his cell phone on the table rang.
The man walked over and pressed the hands-free button.
"Mr. Zhai, it's me." The person who spoke had a weak voice and a slight wheeze.
"Have you finished dividing the radishes?" the man asked.
"It's done. Among all the audience members who got tickets, there is no one with superpowers." The occupation was actually completed five minutes ago, but because he had to complete the occupation of 10,000 people, he consumed too much energy and it took him five minutes to have the strength to make a phone call.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will ask someone to send you some energy stones." After saying that, Mr. Zhai hung up the phone and continued to overlook the stadium not far away.
In fact, when the concert tickets were sold, they strictly controlled the whereabouts of the tickets. Among the 100,000 people, they selected 10,000 people who had no connection with superpowers through fortune tellers to ensure that no ticket could flow into the hands of superpowers. Jing Lu is a top star nowadays, and her concert tickets will not be easily resold, but for the sake of insurance, before the concert started, he still asked the fortune teller to use the big fortune telling technique to make a final confirmation.
The concert is tomorrow, and the probability of tickets being available again within one day is almost zero.
Mr. Zhai walked to the sofa in the living room, picked up a black suitcase from the ground, opened it, and revealed two things inside.
A black umbrella, and a bloodstained staff with a skull carved on it.
"The ceremony is about to begin." Mr. Zhai's fingers, which were white and almost transparent, lovingly stroked the skull on the staff.
The next day.
Because she had to go to a concert in the evening, Lin did not go to the amusement park, but only went to the secret room in the morning. After completing the occupation of the secret room, Lin was not in a hurry to leave, so she habitually started to browse the official website forum.
As soon as she opened the forum, Lin Xi found that everyone was discussing Lan Yan's affairs.
As soon as she saw Lan Yan, Lin Xin immediately became nervous. As early as the day after she rescued Xu Feihang, after Xu Feihang personally admitted that the person who rescued him was Chinese, the conflict between Lan Yan and China began to intensify.
During this period, the internal forum has been discussing when Blue Flame will launch a retaliatory terrorist campaign against China.
"The S-rank boss of our group went to the border yesterday."
"Is this a big deal?"
"Border? Are there any supernatural beings from other countries illegally invading our territory?"
"According to unreliable information, members of the Blue Flame Organization appeared at the northern border holding a disaster tool, a map."
A map? This was the first time Lin Yan had heard of this item, so she immediately opened the official database and started searching.
[Geophysical map: S-level catastrophic item. Put the geophysical map underground and it will automatically absorb the geophysical force within a radius of 6,000 square kilometers. Without the geophysical force, the geophysical force will suddenly break, triggering a magnitude 12 earthquake that can destroy a city overnight. In the next hundred years, the land will turn into desert and no grass will grow.]
A magnitude 12 earthquake? No wonder it's called a disaster prop. If it's accidentally put in, the consequences will be disastrous.
"I just checked. The destructive power of the geomagnetic map is so strong. What if Blue Flame's people are buried outside the country?" Someone asked the question that Lin Xi also wanted to know.
"What do you think we are official psychics? Can you absorb 6,000 square kilometers of earth power quietly?"
"When the cenote absorbs the power of the cenote, any local esper with C-rank or higher abilities will be able to sense it. It's not difficult. Moreover, there is the ability of the prophet to sense it. It's very likely that our prophet sensed it when the other party had this idea."
"So this time the prophet sensed something?"
"I don't know if the guy who went there is powerful enough to snatch the map from us."
"I would say you should just go for two."
"You're an idiot. Two against one. It's so embarrassing to tell others about it."
"At this point, it doesn't matter if it's embarrassing or not, winning is the best thing to do."
The tone of the discussion then became a little distorted, as everyone began to seriously discuss whether a one-on-one fight would better demonstrate China's strength, or a two-on-one fight would be more satisfying.
Lin Yan was too lazy to join in, so she left the forum and forwarded the message to six group chats.
Lin Yan: [Blue Flame is here for revenge?]
Aquaman: [Hey, you're watching this too, so do you think a two-on-one fight is more appropriate, or a one-on-one fight?]
Qingkong: [One on one in public, two on one in private.]
Dirt King: [Insidious.]
Qingkong: [It is better to die with dignity than to suffer in life.]
Lin was speechless. Why were they arguing about this in the group? It seemed that their argument could change the outcome: [Isn’t the point that Blue Flame is here for revenge?]
Aquaman: [Why are you panicking? Chen Chu has already gone.]
So the guy who went to the northern border in the comments is Senior Chen Chu? The netizen who left a message saying that the guy went to the border, couldn't that be Aquaman?
Qingkong: [This is a conflict that was anticipated long ago, it's not a big deal.]
Qingkong said it wasn't a big problem, and the atmosphere in the forum wasn't very tense, so it shouldn't really be a big problem.
Lin Xi felt relieved and browsed her phone for a while. When the time was almost up, she went out for a meal and then took the subway to the gymnasium.
Lin went there on time. When she arrived at the stadium, the stadium was already crowded with people who came to attend the concert. The crowd gathered in twos and threes, and almost everyone had something to support the concert in their hands, but Lin came empty-handed.
"Lin Yan." Song Ranran saw Lin Yan in the crowd.
Lin Yan also saw Song Ranran and immediately ran towards her. While running, she brushed past a white-haired young man carrying a black suitcase.
