"Um, you want to see the surveillance footage from that time? I wonder what you want to see it for?"
The boss asked, puzzled.
Ya Zi knew that if he didn't give the owner a reason, they probably wouldn't let him see the photo, so he pointed to Zhu Botuan in the photo and said, "This person died that night. He came to your internet cafe before he died. I'm investigating this case now."
"Oh, is that so? I'll find the surveillance footage from that night for you right now."
The internet cafe owner quickly found the surveillance footage from that night, but because the camera resolution wasn't very good, Ya Zi could only see Zhu Botuan, the elementary school student next to him, and a man in the footage. After playing games with the elementary school student at the internet cafe, Zhu Botuan left with the man.
Due to the time constraint, Ya Zi had no choice but to copy all the surveillance footage from that night at the internet cafe and take it with him. Before leaving, the owner said, "So that person really did come to our internet cafe, but none of us remember him."
Ya Zi quickly returned with the video recording. He went straight back to the management office because Yin Ni and Ye Dongfeng had already returned.
When Ya Zi returned, Xiao Bai Cai was slacking off in the office, while Yin Ni was preparing the tools to summon the Ouija board. The tools were actually very simple: a ballpoint pen and a piece of white paper.
As soon as Ya Zi returned, he said to Xiao Baicai, "Xiao Baicai, I'm sending you a video. It was copied from an internet cafe. It shows Zhu Botuan and another man. Before he died, he followed that man away."
"Is that man the murderer?"
Xiao Baicai opened his phone and received the video call. He asked, "Did you meet Zhu Botuan at the internet cafe, or did you know him before? Why did he just leave like that?"
"I don't know either, you can take a look first."
Ya Zi sat down in the chair and asked Xiao Baicai to help him improve the video quality. He then looked at Yin Ni and Ye Dongfeng beside him and said, "How about it? Are you guys going to start?"
Ye Dongfeng was looking up information on his phone when he said, "Tsk, this method of summoning the spirit through a Ouija board doesn't seem very feasible. I'm starting to doubt we can actually summon it."
Why can't I summon it?
Hidden had already written some numbers and drawn a circle on that piece of white paper. He said, "Is this enough? Is there anything else?"
"And what about the cardinal directions? Plus men and women, and stuff like that."
Ye Dongfeng looked at the information provided by netizens on his phone and said, "It seems to be like this. Ugh, why is this stupid game so hard to play?"
Ya Zi watched the two of them scribbling on paper and shook his head, saying, "I think we should find someone else to play. Even if we try to summon them, will they be allowed into the management office?"
"That's right, with our cultivation levels, would those brats dare to come?"
Hidden also suddenly thought of this problem. With their high cultivation levels and the management office's excellent defense system, those summoned little devils probably wouldn't dare to come.
After hearing Ya Zi's words, Ye Dongfeng also came to his senses. He said, "Oh right, what should we do then? I'm human, so there might be a slight chance of successfully summoning them, but you guys are different. You'll definitely scare them away. What should we do? Besides, one person can't complete this game alone."
Little Cabbage, who was listening to their conversation, chimed in, "Why don't I join you? We don't need to play in the management office; we can play outside."
Just as Xiaobaicai finished speaking, Yazi said speechlessly, "Forget it, you might as well have come in hiding."
"Why? I'm just a little monster, I shouldn't be able to scare them away, right?"
Little Cabbage looked at Ya Zi with a puzzled expression.
Ya Zi shook his head and pushed Xiao Baicai back to his seat, saying, "You're not the same Xiao Baicai you used to be, don't you know? You're now covered in the aura of Qiongqi. His aura is so domineering, those little ghosts would probably be terrified to death if they saw you, how could you have summoned them?"
"Huh? No way, these scents on me? I didn't know they were there~"
Upon hearing this, Little Cabbage lowered her head and sniffed her clothes, then said with a puzzled look, "No, I can't smell anything at all~"
