Chapter 382: Flesh, Blood, Weakness (12) (1st update + 2nd update + 9,800 thunder 3rd update) [VIP]
Wen Qinqin's appearance made the man, who was originally a little wary, let down his guard a lot, but his suspicion remained unchanged.
"Are you friends of Teacher Bo?" The man looked up at She Mochu, not missing his quickly drooping eyes.
There is something fishy about this person.
The man began to feel suspicious.
"We can't say we are friends," Ji Yu didn't know the person they were talking about, so he couldn't get a word in. He could only look at She Mochu and speak slowly, "I'm also investigating that pill, so I think we have a cooperative relationship."
"Partnership?" The man frowned, a little skeptical. "Teacher Bo never mentioned you to us."
"Because there is no need to bring it up," She Mochu spoke slowly. His attitude was not arrogant, but not gentle either. He just looked lazy and uninterested. "Just to be clear, it was your teacher Bo who invited me here, not me begging to cooperate with her."
"Since you have doubts, there's no need to continue," he glanced at Wen Qinqin beside him, "By the way, she asked me to remind you not to forget to go for a follow-up check next Wednesday. I've already given her the message, and I'm leaving now."
As soon as he finished speaking, without caring about the expressions of the other three people, She Mochu turned around and left.
The follow-up examination next Wednesday was written in the medical record. Wen Qinqin's regular counseling time was Saturday. Her attending physician had to take leave in advance for next Saturday, so the counseling time was moved forward to Wednesday.
Having said that, if Wen Qinqin is smart, she will keep him soon.
Ji Yu took a deep breath in his heart.
Although this tactic is clearly a retreat in order to advance, most normal people would leave the other party a chance to stay after retreating. Who would turn around and leave after saying something harsh like She Mochu did?
If the other party didn't stop him, would he just leave like that?
Besides, the three of them couldn't decide whether to leave or not.
If they leave, they will not be able to learn She Mochu's lazy and indifferent attitude, but if they don't leave, She Mochu's words have been spoken, and it will not be good for them to just stand here.
Fortunately, this embarrassing scene did not occur.
Before the man could even open his mouth, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Dude, why are you guys here?"
Ji Yu looked up with a sense of relief and found that the person walking out of the supermarket was Gu Qiang.
Gu Qiang looked around as if he hadn't heard what they said before, then he grabbed Ji Yu's shoulder and looked at the man: "What's wrong, Brother Gangzi? Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Qiangzi knows them?" The man whom he called Brother Gangzi looked at Ji Yu's face.
"I've seen him just now," Gu Qiang waved his hand. "Just now, Liu Sangen was setting up a stall on the trading street to cheat people. I couldn't stand him cheating newcomers, so I went up to speak up for him. I didn't expect to meet him again now. Have you found a place to stay?"
"Not yet," Ji Yu also quickly followed She Mochu's script and said, "We actually came here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Is there someone who owes you money and has come here?" Gu Qiang rubbed his hands, "Give me 10% after you successfully collect the debt, and I will help you turn the village around!"
"Brother Gu!" Wen Qinqin had a kind of student-like innocence and politeness. With the education she received and the environment she lived in, it was definitely rare to see someone like Gu Qiang talking about money all the time. "They are here to find me! You are so embarrassing!"
"Oh, you're looking for Brother Feng. Let's go in," Gu Qiang touched the back of his head, "Brother Feng, don't call me brother. Just call me Xiao Gu."
"Little Gu," Gangzi rolled his eyes unhappily, "Call him Qiangzi."
"Teacher Bo invites you to cooperate with him," the conversation between the two gave him a way out. Taking advantage of the good opportunity, he also called She Mochu who turned around and walked away, "You come too."
Bai Jinshu turned around, ignoring Brother Gangzi, and fixed his eyes on Gu Qiang.
He paused for a moment and said, "Okay."
Gu Qiang had just interrupted him twice, and now he still dared to invite him in.
Could this kind of person staying in the urban village be related to the evil cult hidden here?
*
Perhaps it was because Bai Jinshu's previous strategy of retreating in order to advance had failed so quickly before he even entered the room. After everyone entered the room, Ji Yu took the initiative to take on the task of negotiating with these people.
"Brother Chu is Mr. Bo's partner. We asked him to come with us this time," he cleverly packaged the identities of the remaining three people, "The three of us are relatives of the victims. A few months ago, all our relatives died mysteriously and were linked to a large company. But after we called the police, they said they were suicides and hastily closed the case."
"The one who was killed by the housework robot?" Gangzi's real name is Lu Gang. The incident a few months ago was a big deal, so he naturally knew about it. "Are you his family members? Is this also related to the pill?"
"I'm his relative, and these two are the relatives of other victims." Most people in the urban village hate the police and the Zone 08 authorities, so Ji Yu naturally followed suit. "The family members of the three of us died inexplicably, but the latter two murders were directly suppressed by the police and all attributed to suicide. We went to inquire and made a fuss, but we were directly driven out by them, and we didn't even get to see our loved ones for the last time. The police didn't believe that their deaths were related to a pill that had never been seen before, and they even forged the forensic examination results to fool the media we contacted!"
Ji Yu had an indignant expression, not even the slightest hint of guilt that he was cursing himself and his colleagues: "In order to find out the truth, our three families have spent all their wealth. We were also targeted by the dogs of the zone 08 authorities, who were afraid that we would expose this matter. We had no other choice but to come here..."
"So it was Teacher Bo who found you?" Lu Gang asked.
"No, no, no," Ji Yu waved his hands repeatedly, pushing all the questions onto She Mochu, who was incapable of answering questions for everyone. "We just found Brother Chu and asked him to come here with us to find out the truth. We don't know the teacher Bo you mentioned. He should be an acquaintance of Brother Chu. Who is this? Is he also investigating this pill?"
"Teacher Bo is the infirmary teacher at Brother Feng's school," Gu Qiang came in with a tea tray and put it on the table, "Would you like some tea?"
Teacher Bo, that is, the calm woman whom everyone has met twice before, whose real name is Bo Jun, is a teacher in the infirmary of Wen Qinqin School.
In this era when most schools are equipped with medical machine cabins as their infirmary systems, only some high-end private schools are equipped with real-person classrooms. The boarding school that Wen Qinqin attends is such a school, and Bo Jun is the school's new infirmary teacher.
When Wen Qinqin's family suddenly encountered a huge change and she just arrived in the urban village, she was almost driven crazy by the completely different living environment. The expectations and respect of her people were all placed on a past life that had never appeared in her previous 17 years, which caused her to suffer from very serious anorexia.
Not everyone in the urban village has to be powerful, but Yang Lifeng must be. Wen Qinqin, who knows that if she is abandoned by these "family members" from her previous life, she will have nowhere to go, tries desperately every day to get closer to "Brother Feng" as they describe him, and strives to change from "Wen Qinqin" to "Yang Lifeng".
But the gap between these two identities is like a deep ravine that cannot be filled by hard work.
Once after fainting in class, Wen Qinqin was sent to the infirmary by her classmates, where she met the new teacher.
Unlike the previous teacher who was extremely kind and caring to everyone, the new teacher was a very cold woman. She would not ask too much about the specific causes of the students' illnesses, nor would she question their injuries which were obviously not simple abrasions or bruises.
Wen Qinqin's family suddenly encountered a huge change, and the whole school knew that there was a poor senior girl in the senior grade whose whole family had died. At this time when she would receive countless pitying looks whenever she walked around the campus, the infirmary became the only place where she could relax a little.
In the infirmary, Bo Jun would not care what she did. After handing Wen Qinqin a concentrated nutrient solution, he would not care about her anymore. He would not ask her why she was in such poor health and why she did not eat and rest on time. Then Wen Qinqin could sit on the soft sofa in the infirmary and spend a quiet afternoon listening to the sound of brushing writing.
There were many such situations. Although this teacher did not care about her much, he actually accumulated a lot of weight in Wen Qinqin's heart.
A few months passed like this. One day, Wen Qinqin, who had returned to the urban village from school, found that Bo Jun had appeared in the urban village, as if he was looking for something.
Her temperament showed that she was a citizen of zone 08. The residents of the surrounding urban villages had always shown a hint of rejection towards her. Wen Qinqin plucked up the courage to go up and say hello, only then did she realize that she was looking for a pill that had flowed out of the urban village.
It was also during this encounter that Wen Qinqin learned that one of Bo Jun's relatives had died mysteriously after taking this pill. It was because of this that she appeared alone in the village in the city.
Bo Jun did not ask too many questions about why a boarding student from a private school appeared here. Wen Qinqin struggled for many days before she made up her mind to help the infirmary teacher. For the first time, she felt that becoming "Yang Lifeng" was at least not a bad thing.
It was also because of this opportunity that Yang Lifeng's brothers also met Bo Jun.
I don't know what method Bo Jun used, but after they had a chat, these rough guys who were eager to make Wen Qinqin practice to a level that could rival Yang Lifeng's became much more restrained. They no longer kept saying things like "Brother Feng is this or that" and "You are this or that now." As a result, Wen Qinqin's cognitive impairment improved a lot.
Wen Qinqin knew that the transformation of these people was all thanks to Bo Jun. When she had a follow-up examination yesterday, she bravely invited Bo Jun to go with her, wanting her to see with her own eyes that she was gradually getting better and receiving proper treatment. So she ran into the exploration team members who were taking the suspects for a check-up.
It seems that they really met Bo Jun by chance yesterday.
But...is Bo Jun and Wen Qinqin really a coincidence?
[Did this person approach Wen Qinqin intentionally? ]
[When something happened at Wen Qinqin's home, she was replaced as the school's medical teacher. It's hard not to think that this was a planned move.]
[Could it be that she was the one who planned the murder of Wen Qinqin's family? ]
[It's not impossible. Didn't this person say that life is endless suffering? In her eyes, living or dying doesn't make much difference. It's all suffering anyway. Maybe killing people doesn't mean anything to her...]
[So she already knew that Wen Qinqin was Yang Lifeng? She deliberately killed her whole family just to make her become Yang Lifeng, so that it would be easier for her to investigate the pill in the village in the city?]
[A pill that is worth killing an entire family to investigate must be something extraordinary.]
[But how did she make everyone's blood disappear? ]
【I don’t know about that.】
There was a lot of discussion on the barrage, and on the screen, Bai Jinshu was looking at the tea in his hand in silence.
Gu Qiang made this tea with great enthusiasm, saying that it was a rare occasion to see Teacher Bo's friends coming and he wanted to show off his cooking skills. However, Lu Gang next to him laughed at him for being a show-off.
In fact, when the topic about Mr. Bo first came up, Lu Gang was still a little wary of them. Wen Qinqin herself was not comfortable saying some things, and they were not able to get so much information.
But Gu Qiang, who was making tea, was a big talker. He would add a sentence here and there from time to time. In just a few words, he restored the whole context of the matter to everyone and also brought a plate of snacks.
There was eating and drinking, and even Lu Gang couldn't help but say a few more words in this atmosphere.
Bai Jinshu didn't know whether tea in the future was brewed in this way, but he knew that Gu Qiang must be testing them and tripping them up.
"Brother Chu, drink it," he enthusiastically promoted the tea in his hand to Bai Jinshu, "Don't you like tea?"
Bai Jinshu: ...
It wasn't that he didn't like tea, but it was obvious why only the cup handed to him had old marks on it.
It turned out that this person was waiting for him here.
This is simply a blatant test. Do you think he won't just go big here and ignore the consequences?
Bai Jinshu stared at Gu Qiang in silence for a few seconds.
Gu Qiang blinked innocently.
"I'm not used to eating outside food," Bai Jinshu glanced at the teacup in Gu Qiang's hand, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, "Drink it yourself."
Ji Yu next to him:?
You are not used to eating out. Who was the one who ate three bowls of noodles in the restaurant just now?
Big brother, are you still holding a grudge against me?
Get it clear, Ji Yu's eyelids twitched, you are not the real big boss invited by that Bo Jun, this is just a character we gave you, we are here to get information and investigate.
But actually, there is nothing more to investigate at this point.
Wen Qinqin and Yang Lifeng are completely two extremes. The brothers who had previously released the news that Yang Lifeng had returned probably didn't expect things to turn out like this. Now they can only try their best to conceal the secret that "Yang Lifeng is this female student" and rely on Yang Lifeng's remaining prestige to intimidate others.
This is bad news for them, but good news for Zone 08 and the police station. At least the old chief won't have to worry about his reputation being ruined in the next few decades.
With the entry certificate of Wen Qinqin's identity, when Yang Lifeng is reincarnated again, it is estimated that his new parents will not think of the direction of the urban village.
Ji Yu made a plan in his mind, thinking about how to naturally join their investigation into the pill.
At this moment, two very low "woofs" were heard at the door, and someone shouted: "Qiangzi! Qiangzi, your dog can't be stopped, Qiangzi!"
"It looks like Brother Gu's dog?" Wen Qinqin stood up first.
"Damn it, Garshasibu!" Gu Qiang also stood up and slapped his forehead, "I forgot to give it dog food at noon! It came straight here!"
"I'm going to prepare a meal for my dog this afternoon." He quickly stood up from his seat and ran outside.
Wen Qinqin seemed a little afraid of the dog named Garshasibu. She hesitated for a moment but still did not move.
The exploration team members ran out and found a secluded place to stop.
Everyone looked at each other, and Ji Yuxian lowered his voice and said, "We have to find a way to ask them what they found out."
These people obviously still had doubts about them. Although the person was planted by Yang Lifeng, that is, Wen Qinqin, but with Bo Jun's instructions, Wen Qinqin was not clear about the details. If they wanted to know what they had investigated specifically, they still had to let Gu Qiang or Lu Gang tell them in person.
And these two people will definitely not just believe their one-sided words. Before that, they will definitely ask Bo Jun, the calm woman, for confirmation.
At this point, their identities could no longer be concealed.
I have to find a way to ask something before that.
"I'll ask my sister and the others." Si Panxuan first opened the combat watch and sent a message in the temporary group chat: [Si Panxuan: @Zhang Lu, sister, have you found out anything? ]
The other party replied quickly: [Zhang Lu: We found something. This life-saving is definitely related to the creatures of the restraining system. Ming Qingrong has a problem. Where are you? ]
According to them, after the two sides separated, Zhang Lu took the remaining three people to find a place where they could pay with their lives. They pretended to be bankrupt small bosses who were going to make a desperate bet after their investment went bankrupt. After asking along the way, they finally found the so-called place to pay with their lives.
Unlike the busy gate they had imagined, this so-called place where people exchanged their lives for money was actually inside an ordinary residential building.
They were accompanied by a middle-aged man with messy hair. After discovering that they were going the same way, the four of them followed him, climbed the stairs to an adjacent building, and exchanged for three telescopes.
Through the telescope, they watched the man knock on the door, and then a young man with a very hunched back came to open the door. The two men exchanged a few words, and then the middle-aged man walked into the dark room.
These two conversations happened too quickly, and before Zhang Lu could perform a suitable eavesdropping miracle, the door was closed again.
The four of them waited there for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, the door was pushed open again.
Compared to the despair on his face before he went in, the middle-aged man with messy hair now looked excited and surprisingly good, as if he did not exchange part of his life for money, but did some excellent maintenance project.
Everyone couldn't figure out anything just by looking. Zhang Lu stared and watched the people on the other side walk away. He turned around and wanted to ask the medical student Ming Qingrong what he had found, but he saw that Ming Qingrong's expression was not right, and his face was full of horror and disbelief.
It seemed that he was so shocked that he forgot to breathe, and his face had turned purple from holding his breath for too long.
"Ming Qingrong, Ming Qingrong!" Zhang Lu quickly realized that something was wrong. "Don't think about it! Don't think about it!"
"Li Qun!" She immediately looked at Shi Liqun.
Shi Liqun knocked Ming Qingrong down with a single slash of his hand, then pried open his eyelids to check, sniffed his breath, and nodded slightly: "He's not dead."
"Go find She Mochu, something is wrong with this place," Zhang Lu stood up quickly, "Take Ming Qingrong with you."
She remembered that it was the same with Bi Wu last time. After being knocked down by She Mochu, she went through a period of temporary madness after waking up.
During this temporary crazy time, it seemed that they could all communicate with She Mochu through some strange language and see some of the truth of this world.
Desmond was so frightened by this sudden change that he dared not say a word. He watched the two mobile team members knock out their companions neatly, and then he said softly, "Um... let me ask my master where they are now?"
"Ask," Zhang Lu added quickly with a frown, "By the way, don't say too much. We'll tell you the details after we meet She Mochu. Don't even think about it before you meet him!"
The reason why Ming Qingrong became like this was unknown. She didn't dare to think too much about it and could only quickly fill her mind with some random thoughts and repetitive brainwash melodies.
"Okay, okay, I know." It was the first time Desmond had seen such a scene. He grabbed the brooch on his chest to calm himself down before quickly opening the dialog box and typing.
Si Panxuan's message came at this time.
Zhang Lu replied to her message in the temporary group chat. Not daring to waste time and miss the opportunity, she asked Shi Liqun to carry Ming Qingrong and run first, and she and Desmond would follow soon after.
After relaying the news from the other side, the expressions of the two exploration team members became solemn.
It’s not that they haven’t thought about the problem of this place, but one look and they will enter the san check, so the problem of this place is probably not small.
Ming Qingrong is not well-known among the mid-level players, but at least he is one of the rare people here who knows medicine. The comments are a little worried:
[Is the person okay? ]
[I should have let the Lord go to investigate. 】
[Then Wen Qinqin wouldn't recognize that the master was the one who had spoken to Bo Jun, and we wouldn't know that Bo Jun was also investigating the pill. ]
[Hiss...yes.]
[But there is good news. When the Lord goes there in person, we will know what is causing the trouble.]
【really. 】
【I hope Ming Qingrong is okay. 】
【I hope everyone is OK.】
[No one is fine +1]
A lot of blessings popped up in the barrage.
"You asked Zhang Lu to come here?" Bai Jinshu glanced at Si Panxuan who was still replying to messages, and said to Ji Yu who was standing aside, "Your chance has come."
"What opportunity?" Ji Yu was at a loss.
He called the mobile team here because he suspected there was something related to the C-type creatures, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Not to mention Zhang Wei who was rushing here, he was a little panicked.
You know, the two feelings of clearly realizing that you live in a world with C-type creatures and knowing that there is a high probability that a C-type creature exists not far from you are completely different.
At this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of how fortunately he had called the mobile team. If Zhang Wei had really been allowed to go alone, he wondered if this kid would be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Although it was not a good idea to think this way, the fact that the injured person was Ming Qingrong from the mobile team, not his partner Zhang Wei, did make him feel a sense of relief that was almost guilt-ridden.
"You want the chance to ask them more questions." Shemochu did not face the tension of the C-type creatures directly like his teammates, and said calmly, "Tell them that some of our people have passed the SC and are at the place where they risked their lives. They will say that there is something wrong with that place."
"Will this work?" Ji Yu was a little worried, "Why don't you send more people..."
Jia Li also nodded.
Let alone these people, just talking about him, his first reaction when he learned that there were C-type creatures around him was panic. Could these residents of the urban villages tell them the truth and help them with the investigation?
You know, this is a world where "don't think, don't look, don't listen" is the first lesson learned after everyone is born and is deeply engraved in their DNA.
"Others may not know, but Gu Qiang will tell." She Mochu ignored the two people's concerns and walked outside.
He probably knew who Gu Qiang was.
Bai Jinshu left, and the remaining three people had no choice but to follow.
Gu Qiang?
Is there anything special about Gu Qiang?
On the street outside the supermarket, Gu Qiang was squatting on the side of the road, apparently feeding a dog.
"Brother," Ji Yu went up to talk to him, "We have a problem here..."
His voice suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qiang turned around.
"You...this..." Ji Yu swallowed, "this...your dog?"
No wonder Wen Qinqin was scared, this dog looked so ferocious.
It looked to be about one and a half meters tall when standing on its two legs, with sharp teeth, slightly messy hair, and a low growl from its throat as if a stranger was approaching.
He even believed that it was a small ferocious beast.
You people in the urban village call this a dog?
How dare you starve it of a meal?
Ji Yu felt that if he starved this thing for a day and put it in a cage with humans, there would be people who would be willing to call it daddy in order to survive.
"Yes, my dog, Garshasibu," Gu Qiang patted its head as usual, and said in a friendly tone under Ji Yu's frightened gaze, "Garshasibu is a girl with a good temper. Do you want to touch her?"
Ji Yu: "No...I guess not."
He doubted that if he dared to lay a finger on Garshasbu, the thing would chew him up.
Facing such a ferocious appearance, Gu Qiang could actually say that this was a girl. He was indeed strong.
Ji Yu really wanted to suggest to him now that if you spread the news that the dog is Yang Lifeng in your area, it would probably be better than making things difficult for the female student Wen Qinqin.
It’s a pity that Gu Qiang didn’t know about his overly rich psychological activities.
When Ji Yu was shocked, Shemochu, who had been lacking energy, suddenly became interested. He squatted beside the beast that was gnawing on raw flesh and bones, and gently touched its back twice: "What kind of species is Garshasibu?"
"Tibetan Mastiff," Gu Qiang answered quickly, "Purebred Tibetan Mastiff. Her parents and her parents' parents are all purebred."
"Tibetan... Mastiff," Ji Yu twitched his lips and said with difficulty, "You... raise a Tibetan mastiff?"
Aren't these large, vicious dogs not allowed in zone 08?
Oh, that’s not right. People in the urban villages never listen to zone 08.
But isn't this too... bold?
"But...did you breed this dog?" He was a little bit incredulous.
Where are the conditions for breeding Tibetan Mastiffs in the urban villages?
"No," Gu Qiang said as he touched the Garshasibu, "Garshasibu was actually bred by someone else, and was just lent to me for a few days."
"Well... okay then." Ji Yu was silent.
You two are really brave enough to give and take.
"Don't be fooled by Garshasibu's fierce appearance. She is actually a very cultured dog," Gu Qiang said casually. "Before I got her, she was a guard dog in the archives room."
"Then the archives must contain world secrets, right?" Ji Yu said sincerely.
Why would anyone use a Tibetan Mastiff as a guard dog?
What world secrets must be in this archive room?
Bai Jinshu, who was petting his dog in silence, suddenly said, "The guard dog of the archives room."
"The watchdog of the archives room." Gu Qiang looked at him and nodded affirmatively.
Bai Jin said: "Someone else borrowed it for you to raise."
"Someone lent it to me to raise." Gu Qiang confirmed.
"Okay, I understand." Bai Jinshu nodded and stretched out a hand to scratch Garshasibu's chin.
Ji Yu:?
No? Huh?
What do you know?
Are you two playing some charades?
Is there anything he can't listen to?
Why do you dare to pet a Tibetan Mastiff?
The author has something to say:
Maybe some of you who are familiar with the mythology of Ksus have figured out what this evil cult is up to?
It doesn't matter if you can't see it. The comment will explain it in the next chapter orz
