Chapter 92: Parents of Children
Miao Yue took a step back with a cold face, distanced herself from him, and then called Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi.
The little girl was like a believer who had received holy water from the gods. She seemed not to notice Miao Yue's expression at all and just picked up her bottle of dirty water and started drinking it. As the dirty water entered her stomach, her face became brighter and brighter, and her complexion became so rosy as if she had been raised with great care.
"Stomach." Qi Gu said concisely.
Lin Hanzhi and Miao Yue looked over at the same time and saw that the little girl's belly hidden under her dirty clothes was bulging abnormally, and it even felt like something was wriggling inside, with occasional bumps and bulges.
Seeing this scene, everyone present looked grim.
The staff covered their mouths and retched, and some even rushed out of the classroom.
But the children present looked very calm, as if everything was normal.
"How long has she been drinking water like this?" Lin Hanzhi asked the little boy who was making the grave.
"We have always drunk water like this." The little boy thought Lin Hanzhi asked a stupid question. In order to verify his words, he took out his own water bottle from his schoolbag. There were also various obscure objects floating in his water bottle, floating up and down.
Seeing this, the other children seemed to be stimulated to drink water. They took out their water bottles, unscrewed the caps in unison, and swallowed.
Qi Gu suppressed the urge to vomit and recalled that when he was at Juanjuan's house and the village chief's house, they used normal and clean water for drinking, making tea and washing vegetables.
So why are these children different?
"Who told you to drink water like this?" Qi Gu asked.
"It's Dad."
"Mother."
"grandmother."
…
Qi Gu originally thought that he would hear Bai Yu's name. After all, this female teacher was the only thing all the children had in common. However, he did not expect that this was how all the parents taught their children.
"So... have mom and dad ever done anything weird?"
"No, my parents are very good to me. They make sure I drink enough water before going to school every day." A child said this with an innocent smile on his face.
Qi Gu quickly realized that his questioning method was wrong: "So what do your parents do every day?"
"Water offering, big brother, how come you don't even know this?" The child looked at Qi Gu and thought he was stupid.
For this group of children, they have accepted their parents' abnormality since childhood, and such abnormality has become a normal part of life for them.
It still doesn't seem right... If these children drank that kind of water every day, why didn't Fang Yuanwang, as a teacher, discover something was wrong sooner and leave here?
What is he thinking?
Qi Gu clenched his fists, knowing that he would only get the answers after asking Fang Yuanwang.
As for these children, he couldn't do anything for the time being. After all, their current situation was exactly what their families needed. If he made any hasty changes, it was hard to say what the parents would do to them.
He placed his fingertips on the little girl who was in the most serious condition at the beginning, and after carefully examining her condition, he discovered that this girl only had half a soul in her body, while the other half was completely occupied by the dark obscure substance - this was why she looked dull, and the excitement she showed after drinking the water was not her intention.
The one who was excited was the other half of her body.
The situations of the other children were not as serious as that of the little girl. The proportion of the evil spirits was not large. Qi Gu could use a simple ritual to expel the evil spirits and recall their original souls.
"Leave it aside for now, and come back to deal with it after things are resolved." Qi Gu's already cold expression turned completely cold this time, like a hard ice cone.
He thought that what happened in Huaishui Village this time would be the same as the previous incidents, and there would still be room for change.
But now it seems that the parents of these children may have...
Lin Hanzhi also thought of this. He had seen many tragedies, but this was the first time that Qi Gu had encountered such a situation. He was afraid that Qi Gu would indulge in it... Being too immersed in the pain of others and unable to get out of it would also affect the state of the members of the Abnormal Management Bureau.
There was once a member who, during a mission, witnessed a fierce ghost possessing a family of three separately, driving them crazy and making them in great pain. The ghost then left their bodies and watched from the sidelines as the three of them became suspicious of each other and eventually killed each other. The ghost appeared before they died and told them that they had killed their closest relatives. He also said that if they really loved each other, why couldn't they recognize each other? I had originally planned that if they could recognize each other, I would let your family go.
That member learned from a fortune teller, whose most common method was to ask vengeful spirits to possess her and experience the other party's emotions. After that incident, the member was completely immersed in that kind of pain and couldn't extricate himself. In the end, he chose to leave the Alien Management Bureau and never touch the business passed down by his master again.
"Qi Gu, are you okay?" Lin Hanzhi frowned and rarely called Qi Gu by his full name.
"It's okay. I won't let these emotions affect me." Qi Gu said, "I can tell the difference."
Perhaps because of that incident, he rarely lets overly strong emotions affect his judgment, and he always speaks in the most direct way, never beating around the bush.
Because a white lie is still a lie, and sometimes it may lead to the worst outcome.
Lin Hanzhi looked at Qi Gu and saw the clarity in his almond-shaped eyes, and felt relieved: "That's good."
[It’s a bit heartbreaking to watch. What on earth happened in this village?]
[It seems that Gugu and Zhizhi have guessed something bad, otherwise they wouldn’t talk like that]
[Smart people are different, their words are encrypted]
[It makes me a little sad to see them. They look like two little animals licking each other’s fur.]
Miao Yue, who was watching the two interacting, felt it was too embarrassing to watch, so she walked around the classroom to see if there were any clues that had been missed. After a circle, she found Fang Yuanwang's lesson preparation book in the empty desk at the end of the classroom.
There is not much written in this notebook. It should be because Fang Yuanwang had an accident not long after he changed to a new notebook, so he didn't have time to write more.
Including the two years that Fang Yuanwang has been teaching and the one year that he has been missing, he has actually been in Huaishui Village for more than three years.
An old notebook from three years ago is still placed in the desk, and the desk is spotless. When I think of Bai Yu lecturing the children, my eyes always sweep across the desk with a bit of nostalgia. Miao Yue, a scholar who has read a lot of "classics", would definitely understand it.
Bai Yu should like Fang Yuanwang.
At this moment, Bai Yu came over with Fang Heng, who was dreaming and tearful. Her own eyes were red. When she saw Miao Yue holding Fang Yuanwang's lesson plan book, she curled her lips and took the book. She said casually, "This is the lesson plan book left by Teacher Fang. There are some good lessons prepared in it. I'm still using it now."
