Five times the salary
The man fell straight down. Xie Qi didn't have time to think about it. His body had already moved first. He ran forward, kicked his feet hard, jumped into the air and grabbed Mr. Chen, then turned half a circle to release the force and landed on the ground.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his jump and landing were too light and smooth, as if they were lifted by the wind.
Xie Qi put this thought aside for the moment and looked at the person who had been rescued. "Are you okay?"
Director Chen knelt on the ground, limp, without any reaction. He seemed frightened or...
Xie Qi remembered that he had a vague feeling that Mr. Chen was pushed down. When he looked up, he saw Chen Jiaoyue sticking half of her face out from the balcony, her hand still stretched forward.
Chen Jiaoyue in the conscious world still looked like a child, a little older than the one Xie Qi had seen before. However, the strange thing was that although it was Chen Jiaoyue who pushed the person, tears were dripping down her chin, and her empty expression looked inexplicably sad.
"Baby, you're right. Mom loves you. Thank you for avenging me. I'll let your favorite puppy come out to accompany you, okay?" The woman's voice came from the second floor, with an indescribable feeling.
Tenderness, teasing, weirdness, laughter, mockery... all mixed together, it was extremely harsh.
Chen Jiaoyue looked back with half her head sticking out. "Are you all coming out?"
"Children who are too greedy will get nothing, Jiaojiao." The woman's voice suddenly became cold and filled with deep disgust.
Chen Jiaoyue panicked and shrank back. She could hear the clatter of hurried footsteps and the sounds of doors and windows being opened. "Mom, I was wrong. Don't be angry. Jiaojiao will be obedient. Don't..."
Xie Qi didn't hear what she said. He only heard the woman say casually, "Yes, just be good like this. Mom likes good children. Mom wants to punish a rubbish man. As Mom's good child, do you know what to do now?"
"Kill dad."
After the murderous affirmation was uttered, Director Chen trembled subconsciously.
The conscious world seemed to sense the master's thoughts, and the weather suddenly changed, and it began to rain...
"They are all knives!" Xie Qi was also shocked by the sudden change of knives falling from the sky. He forcefully pulled Mr. Chen up and wanted to hide in the villa, but the courtyard suddenly expanded more than twice its size. The gate of the villa that should have been within reach became extremely far away.
"Fuck." Unable to dodge, Xie Qi couldn't help but curse.
The magic circle suddenly unfolded under his feet, layer upon layer, and the transparent barrier supported by protective magic blocked all the knives.
The knife has a wide attack range. It falls under the influence of gravity acceleration. The higher the landing point, the stronger the attack. The magic barrier is broken layer by layer and then quickly rebuilt layer by layer.
Generally speaking, construction is faster than destruction at the moment, but this is also the first time that Xie Qi has controlled magic independently, and he is not sure if he can hold on to the end.
The best defense is offense. Just find out the troublemaker before you can no longer hold on.
The strongest in the world of consciousness is its owner. As long as he can delay Chen Jiaoyue for some time... Xie Qi bit his fingertips, the smell of blood filled the tip of his tongue, and a small space transfer magic was instantly cast at his fingertips, and a mobile phone suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ding-ling-ling——
"I just stayed up all night to finish a game and I'm almost dead. You'd better come to me with something serious, Old Xie!" Lu Xuedu's slightly tired voice echoed throughout the space. All the knives falling from the sky stopped, and time seemed to freeze.
"Hello? Old Xie?" Lu Xuedu didn't get a response for a long time, and his voice was filled with some doubt.
"It's a good thing the phone can actually be dialed." Xie Qi just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect it to be so successful. But then again, Chen Jiaoyue was from this world. No matter how much her consciousness resembled the real world, it still existed in this world, so it was understandable that she could be transported by radio waves.
Now it depends on whether the sound can pull Chen Jiaoyue out for a moment.
It's hard to say. Chen Jiaoyue was really relentless in her pursuit of Lu Xuedu back then. She used all kinds of tricks, which made people feel scared. Lu Xuedu's disgust was written all over his face, and he never gave her a good look.
At the last engagement party, Xie Qi could see that Lu Xuedu still had an influence on Chen Jiaoyue, but the dogs were there too, and they didn't seem to be too attached.
Xie Qi was actually relieved at the time. After all, given Lu Xuedu's personality, Chen Jiaoyue's pathological relationship could only end in failure. Whether it was for the troubled Lu Xuedu or the mentally unstable Chen Jiaoyue, the end of this twisted relationship was the best outcome.
Unexpectedly, only about a month had passed and his thoughts had changed. He began to pray that Chen Jiaoyue must still have her obsession.
Xie Qi was actually also helpless.
Lu Xuedu sat up from the bed and scratched his hair, "What? Where are you now?" He vaguely realized that Xie Qi's current whereabouts should not be simple.
"It doesn't matter where you are, I just want to hear your voice." Xie Qi paused deliberately, looking up as he spoke, "Lu Xuedu."
Chen Jiaoyue widened her eyes and rushed to the balcony.
Xie Qi saw that Chen Jiaoyue, who looked like a child just now, had turned into a middle school student.
"Ah, it's very useful." For a moment, I didn't know whether to be thankful or lament.
——
"Thanks a lot, I'll treat you to dinner next time, brother."
"Ah?" Lu Xuedu was completely stunned. He looked at the phone that had been hung up, fell on the bed muttering, pulled the quilt to his chin, and closed his eyes.
Never mind, as long as I can help, I can worry about the rest later. It's just a hospital anyway, if someone dies on the spot, they will be treated immediately. Lu Xuedu thought so without any psychological burden.
——
The moment Xie Qi saw Chen Jiaoyue's face peeking out, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the time-space transfer formation suddenly expanded. At the same time, two drops of blood were thrown out, forming the pattern of a talisman. It was the only rune he had ever seen used to summon the Yin Messenger.
A gloomy and ghostly aura filled the air. A piece of chain first penetrated the formation, brushed Chen Jiaoyue's face, and went straight to the second floor.
Two figures, one black and one white, slowly stepped out of the formation.
"The world of consciousness?" Fan Wujiu took off his headphones, frowned fiercely, and said in a rather unhappy tone, "We are ghost messengers, we only take in the dead!"
"Haha, it's a rare occasion that the boss summons us. Since we are here, it would be rude to leave without doing anything." Xie Bian, who was wearing a white suit, smiled and tightened the chain in his hand. His eyes, which were always squinting, opened with a cold light in them, and in an instant, there were shrill sounds of ghosts howling and wolves howling.
His voice was, in stark contrast, gentle. "Besides, since the Soul Locking Chain is so impatient, doesn't that mean this place is indeed very strange?"
The Soul-Locking Chain is Xie Bian's weapon for capturing souls. It is very sensitive to ghostly spirits and resentment, has self-awareness, and has an IQ equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child. It often acts on its own, but its power is astonishing and can directly cause damage to the soul.
"Ahhh!" A painful and wailing sound came from inside, and the woman pleaded earnestly, "Jiaojiaojiao, save mommy, mommy is in so much pain, mommy is in so much pain, Jiaojiao..."
"Mom!" Chen Jiaoyue came back to her senses and actually grabbed the soul-locking chain wrapped around her hand with her bare hands. White smoke emerged from the connection between her palms. The villa, which originally had only three floors, suddenly became extremely tall and turned into an iron wall, completely refusing any communication.
Xie Bian tightly grasped the soul-locking chain and said, "This is a bit troublesome." In the world of consciousness, if Boss Xie had not forcibly opened the exit and the magic he used had not stopped, they would have been thrown out just now.
Haha, this job is very interesting.
"It's so troublesome." Fan Wujiu had been his partner for many years, so he could naturally see his true thoughts. He had a sullen face and looked unhappy, not wanting to move at all.
Xie Bian seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said to Xie Qi, "We accept urgent and difficult jobs on non-working days, so we need to pay five times the salary, Boss Xie."
Fan Wujiu paused and held his headphones.
"Uh..." The Black and White Impermanence's appearance fee is not low. Five times their salary is simply extortion! After Xie Qi took over, he already knew how expensive it was to run a hospital!
How could he repair it! If he didn't pay the full amount, wouldn't this guy just let go and walk away? Xie Qi looked over with some uncertainty.
"We won't leave," Xie Bian added with a smile, "We will join the enemy."
Xie Qi: "I understand. I will give you five times the salary."
"Yeah." Fan Wujiu took out three pieces of equipment from somewhere - a baseball bat, a baseball cap, and a baseball.
He took out his hat and put it on his head, weighed the baseball bat in his hand, and tossed the baseball.
