Chapter 111 Jinjiang Debut
"Here, I'll give it back to you."
Bai Mian reached out and returned the talisman to the system. In an instant, a golden light flashed, and the talisman paper and the brush in Bai Mian's hand disappeared together. Those ghosts had been synchronously teleported to the underworld by the system.
Bai Mian rubbed her palms reluctantly. This talisman was very handy and a good thing. It was a pity that it did not belong to her for the time being. But it did not matter. As long as she continued to accumulate good karma, this talisman would be in her hands sooner or later.
Bai Mian took a taxi back to Ci Xin Tang. Everyone in the restaurant had already eaten lunch and were taking a nap upstairs. Bai Mian followed the smell all the way into the restaurant and saw the food Gao Jin had left for her on the table. She sat down and took a sip of the soup. The soup was well-cooked, with the sweet winter melon and salty and fresh dried shrimps, which whetted her appetite.
The food was still hot, Bai Mian picked up his chopsticks and started eating lunch.
After lunch, the people upstairs woke up. Gao Jin saw that the food he left behind was eaten up, and he immediately felt a sense of accomplishment. Weng Xuhua took out a few slices of tangerine peel from the cabinet and soaked them in water to drink. It was hot now, and tangerine peel could relieve heat and eliminate phlegm, so it was the most suitable drink.
Lame Brother yawned, opened the Shining APP, sat on a chair and started watching short videos.
He scrolled through one content after another out of boredom, and suddenly stopped in front of a video. Bai Mian squeezed a glass of fresh orange juice with a few oranges, threw in a few ice cubes, and drank a big gulp happily.
As she was passing by with the cup, Lame Brother called her: "Hey, come and look at this!"
Bai Mian looked at his phone, which was playing a short video: "Hello everyone, I am Xiaohuo, a marketing account. I wonder if you have seen any news about missing girls in your city recently? Xiaohuo recently discovered that many girls have disappeared in China, and most of them are between 16 and 20 years old. The most terrifying thing is that these missing girls are from different cities all over the world. Xiaohuo seriously suspects that there is a trafficking gang roaming around. Friends who have girls at home should pay attention!"
Lame Brother said excitedly: "Look, does this method look familiar? I suspect that this trafficking gang is the same group of people as the traffickers who committed crimes in Qingshui Town before! If I can catch them, it will be a great achievement, and there may even be a bonus!"
Bai Mian disagreed: "Don't worry about your bonus for now. Look at the owner of this video. It's a marketing account that talks nonsense. It's not certain whether this is true or not."
"How do we know if it's true if we don't try?" Lame Brother rubbed his hands together, "If I can catch these people, I'll be famous all over the country!"
Bai Mian shook his head and smiled: "Even if this is true, you can't surround them all by yourself, so you'd better save your energy."
Ever since Sister Xiao Yang left, Lame Brother has become a little impatient. Bai Mian can understand that. Perhaps he is unwilling to accept that Sister Xiao Yang found her own life path before him.
"Please help me calculate, help me calculate their location, please!" Lame Brother pestered Bai Mian relentlessly.
Bai Mian smiled bitterly: "You also know that I have to feel the pulse to know the whole story. Now there is no one involved for me to feel the pulse here, how can I calculate the location?"
"You can't calculate the prisoner's location without taking his pulse..." Brother Lame repeated this sentence, the light in his eyes dimmed, he lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
Bai Mian immediately realized that Cripple Brother was not interested in drinking, so she asked perceptively, "Are you worried about something?"
"No, no, no!" Lame Brother waved his hands hastily, "I just eat and drink for free every day, and I don't know how good my life is. How can I have any worries?"
Bai Mian wanted to ask more questions, but there was a sound of a door opening behind him. It was afternoon business time. Weng Xuhua opened the door and a large number of passers-by rushed in. One of the girls shouted:
"I am the third client, all of you get out of my way!"
Bai Mian turned his head and looked towards the voice, only to see a fat girl walking towards him from the crowd. She wanted to sit on the chair in front of the pulse diagnosis table, but her butt was stuck in the chair, so she couldn't sit down, so she had to stand up again awkwardly.
Bai Mian sat behind the pulse diagnosis table and asked gently, "Hello, what do you want to ask?"
The girl hesitated and said, "Well, I'm going to tell you the problem, please don't criticize me, and I hope you won't scold me because of my figure."
After hearing the second half of the girl's words, Bai Mian understood the girl's concerns. After all, this was a live broadcast and she was afraid of being cyberbullied.
Bai Mian picked up his phone, and saw the screen was full of insulting words. Everyone was making fun of the girl's figure. Bai Mian simply turned off the barrage function temporarily, and then said solemnly to the camera: "Those who just posted those barrages, please leave voluntarily. I don't need fans like you!"
Seeing Bai Mian handle it this way, the girl finally felt relieved. She sighed and said softly, "Master, my name is Huang Rui, and my problem is a little difficult to talk about. It's like this. I met a boyfriend online, and now we have decided to meet in person, but..."
At this point, Huang Rui fell silent. Bai Mian asked considerately, "Are you nervous because of your figure?"
"No," Huang Rui shook her head and said timidly, "I don't dare to meet him because I used a fake photo, but he said he would break up with me if we don't meet. I don't know what to do. He is my first love and I don't want to lose him..."
Lame brother spit water when he heard it: "Pfft, you are cheating!"
Bai Mian also said seriously: "Your behavior is indeed shameful. Using someone else's photo to date online not only deceived the other person in the relationship, but also affected an innocent girl. Fortunately, you also realized your mistake. It may not be too late for you to confess to him now."
Huang Rui seemed to have made a great decision: "Yes, Master, I think so too, but I am worried that he will be angry after I confess. After all, I weigh more than 200 pounds, almost 300 pounds, and I showed him the photo of our school beauty, who is thin and beautiful. The gap between us is too big. If he knew, he would definitely block me!"
"I thought about asking the school beauty to meet someone in person for me, but I don't know her at all, so I can't open my mouth to ask her. Besides, she already has a boyfriend, so even if I beg her, she won't agree!"
Lame brother endured it again and again, but he couldn't bear it anymore and started to complain: "Girl, how can you let yourself get so fat? I see that you look like a teenager, still a student, right? You are so young and you indulge in your weight. What will you do if you get three highs in the future?"
After hearing what Lame Brother said, Huang Rui actually started to cry sadly: "Wuwuwu, I don't want to do this either. I'm a senior high school student and I just finished the college entrance examination this year. In fact, I had a normal body shape when I was a freshman, but later the pressure of studying was too great, and I suffered from bulimia. I couldn't control my overeating every day. I could eat the food of three people by myself. The whole cafeteria knows me. Wuwuwu... I also feel embarrassed, but I can't quit..."
"I know this is wrong, I should see a psychiatrist, but I'm so busy studying that I don't even have time to sleep, so how can I have time to see a doctor? I'll have to wait until after the exam."
"Later, I gradually gained more than 200 pounds. Fortunately, I performed well in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the university of my choice, so the pressure was not so great anymore."
Lame brother tried to probe: "Don't you have summer vacation now? Can you try to lose weight during the summer vacation?"
Huang Rui cried and shook her head: "No, my biggest wish after the college entrance examination was to have a relationship, but the male classmates around me didn't like me, they often laughed at me, so I gave up looking for a boyfriend in real life and put my hope on the Internet instead."
"During the summer vacation, I downloaded more than a dozen social apps and chatted with hundreds of people every day. Finally, I chose a boy who is good in every aspect. He is also a college entrance examination candidate this year. He is tall, has a good figure, is handsome, and has a humorous personality. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him!"
Lame Brother was very skeptical: "Does this... exist in the world?"
Huang Rui didn't take Cripple's words seriously and said to herself, "We've been chatting for a month. He and I really get along well. What surprised me most is that he is also from Qingshui Town. We are from the same hometown!"
"He once mentioned that he wanted to exchange photos with me, but I really didn't dare to send my own photos, so I had to use photos of school beauties to deal with it. Now it's terrible. He wants to meet me. Once we meet, everything will be over. Master, what should I do!"
Bai Mian frowned: "You mean, you only talked for a month and you decided to meet him? Don't you think this is too hasty?"
Lame brother also said: "Yes, girl, you are really careless. What if you meet a bad guy?"
Huang Rui insisted on her own opinion stubbornly: "We have talked a lot, I know him well enough, I believe in his character, forget it, you don't understand, this is a matter between the two of us, I have been in high school for three years, all my roommates have had relationships, only I haven't, they all laughed at me and said no one wanted me, I was unwilling to accept it, now I finally have a chance to be single, I don't want to mess it up, Master, can you help me?"
Bai Mian asked back: "How can I help you?"
Huang Rui hesitated for a moment, and finally said her real purpose: "I want... you to help me change my appearance."
"Um?"
Bai Mian and Que Ge became alert at the same time.
Huang Rui explained: "I have seen your previous live broadcast. When you helped Xiao Yang Jie get rid of her marriage, you changed her and her brother's appearance. I don't know how you did it, but I believe you have the ability! If there is a first time, there will be a second time. Can you cast a spell again and turn me into a school beauty?"
"Puff!" Lame brother sprayed water again, "Girl, you are too greedy, do you want a painless plastic surgery?"
Bai Mian shook his head and rejected her. Although he did know the art of illusion, the spell should not be abused, otherwise it would cause chaos.
Seeing that Bai Mian refused, Huang Rui hugged her arms and begged, "Please, Master, I really want to fall in love! Please turn me into a school beauty. It doesn't take too long, even just an hour, no, half an hour will do! Please make my dream come true! I'm still a student, and I only have three thousand on me. I can give it all to you!"
Bai Mian still shook his head. Huang Rui threatened him, "Okay, if you don't agree, I'm going to go out and jump into the river right now! When things get out of hand, I'll see how you end up! I've already thought of the headlines for tomorrow morning's news - the Internet celebrity master's cold attitude caused his fans to commit suicide by jumping into the river!"
Lame Brother got angry and pointed at her and said, "Hey, you! It's a pity that the Little Goddess of Wealth was protecting you just now, but now you are threatening her with your life? You are such a scoundrel!"
Huang Rui smiled disdainfully and said, "As long as we can have a relationship, what does it matter if I become a rogue? Anyway, it's so easy for you to use your magic power, just move your fingers, why don't you help me?"
Bai Mian looked at Huang Rui, thinking of a countermeasure in his heart. Lame Brother advised in a low voice: "Don't worry about her, just let her go. I guess she is just talking, and she will stop making trouble when she has had enough."
"no."
Bai Mian immediately rejected this proposal. She could see that Huang Rui had an extreme personality and might really do something like jumping into the river.
"How about this, don't be impulsive," Bai Mian proposed a compromise, "I can't help you change your appearance, but I can feel your pulse, and feeling your pulse can tell you about your past and future. Don't you want to try it?"
"I..." Huang Rui was moved by what he said, "Then I'll take your pulse first, but I'm not that easy to get rid of. After taking your pulse, you still have to help me change my appearance!"
Bai Mian didn't answer. He just pulled her hand over and placed two fingers on her pulse.
After finishing, Bai Mian's face became heavy, and Huang Rui asked in a low voice: "How is it?"
Bai Mian slowly said: "The result is very bad. When you meet him offline, you will..."
"Being blocked? Being scolded?" Huang Rui rushed to say.
Bai Mian shook his head, and Huang Rui said, "He won't beat me up, will he?"
Bai Mian said word by word: "You—will be eaten."
Everyone around gasped, only Huang Rui said stupidly: "Eat it? Does it mean what they say on the Internet? That can't be true. I'm not that open-minded. How could I go to a hotel with him as soon as I met him..."
Bai Mian knocked on the table and said seriously:
"Don't be so in love, listen to me - I mean eating it in the physical sense."
