Chapter 498 Above the Posa (33) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
I don't know why, but Scario seems to have a magical power that can turn everyone into a tool. And the higher the synchronization rate, the more obvious the tool attributes of the people around him will become.
Bai Jinshu touched his chin and attributed this to the special skill of the physically disabled Chaiskao.
After all, if he can't turn everyone around him into useful tools, considering that Scaro's physical fitness and skills are almost zero compared to the foundation players, he can't do it alone.
What's more, Skao himself is a mysophobia... You can't ask a physically weak person with mysophobia to do physical work himself.
Bai Jinshu looked at Zhao Yinglai, who had fallen into silence after being exploited by him time and time again; he looked at Wen Qi, who, although maintaining a good expression on his face, still vaguely revealed the excitement of "That's great, I have diverted Skao's attention from me"; he thought about Chang William, who had a strange fixed attribute far away in the pharmacy but was used by him to deceive children... He suddenly felt that he could still develop the tool man potential of several other team members.
Now, Tool Man No. 1 cursed and pointed at the puddle behind him: "Then should I go back now?"
Bai Jinshu nodded as a matter of course: "Don't run into those two people."
"...I'm not stupid," Zhao Yinglai said speechlessly, "Those two people can't enter the deep water area, how could they run into me?"
Scarao sent two positions in the temporary group chat, and he was clearly chasing towards the deep water, but the final movement trajectory was moving horizontally on the shallows. In addition, he walked so decisively, and he was not worried at all that Xu Ke and Lan Yizi would faint in the water like he and Wen Qi. If you think about it a little bit, you will know that there is probably something in this shallow beach that prevents them from entering the deep water.
If you think about it again, you can figure out how Scario did it. It's simply because the Foundation's watch has a location.
As long as she turns on the positioning, she can enter the deep water area by comparing the position. In addition, she is just a shadow puppet and not a real person, so there is no need to worry about accidents.
The plan was perfect, but the problem was that it was visibly difficult to find a kid who knew what he looked like in such a large area.
Zhao Yinglai scratched his head irritably and suddenly wanted to go on strike.
"Don't waste time. We don't know how long it will take to find her," Bai Jinshu stroked his chin and glanced at her. "You're not tired. Leave early."
The shadow puppet is tossing around, and the one who will go down the Forgetful River later is also the shadow puppet. Zhaoying is a remote-controlled real body and no one knows what it is hesitating about.
"Hiss... you're talking without any pain in your back," Zhao Yinglai jumped up and down, "How many people are there down there? It will be so hard for me to find them. I have to be mentally prepared."
"Wen Qi, Wen Qi," she looked at Wen Qi quickly, "Do you know what that brat Lin Jianyu looks like?"
Wen Qi wanted to pretend that she didn't exist in front of Scario: "...I don't know, but Lin Jianyu looks like a decent person."
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to deceive two women into being completely devoted to him.
"What kind of adjective is human-like... Don't you have any specific description?" Zhao Yinglai scratched his head, "High nose bridge or low nose bridge? What's the general shape of the face? What about the shape of the eyes? What about the shape of the mouth? What about the shape of the head? If I'm not sure, I can't just ask the father, I have to ask the mother, what does his mother look like?"
"Brother Jiang Jie... do you want to go back to the other world and release that little devil?" Wen Qi bravely advised in a low voice, "It's very dangerous..."
What she just said is very obvious, right? This kid is being suppressed now. Before being suppressed, he was raised to have no rationality. If he wants to cause trouble, he can go find that master.
Why are these two people still staring at the little ghost?
Could it be that he really wanted to use Xiao Gui to deal with Lin Jianyu, who caused the captain to be injured?
"Hey kid, don't ask so many questions," Zhao Ying said, "Just tell us what Lin Jianyu looks like and what his ex-girlfriend looks like."
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Bai Jinshu glanced at Zhao Yinglai speechlessly, "Why don't you just follow the baby's template to find it?"
Zhaoyinglai:?
Zhao Yinglai touched his chin, Zhao Yinglai seemed to be thinking about something, Zhao Yinglai suddenly realized!
"Damn, yes, Skao, you are a genius!" She patted Bai Jinshu's shoulder unceremoniously.
This kid had just been born when the rational part of his soul was separated. Even if the remaining part would grow up to be of similar age with Lin Jianyu's constant care, the separated part could only maintain its previous appearance.
Although there are many residual souls in the Forgotten River, there are definitely very few as small as a newborn baby.
After all, the only people who can persist in waiting for someone in the Forgotten River, or fall into it by accident, or enter it like Skao and others, can only be adults with normal behavioral abilities. As for babies, their hands and feet are soft when they are born, and they have difficulty in crawling.
Her mind was focused on the fact that the little ghost left in Lin Jianyu had been raised for more than twenty years and even the master could not kill him completely. She did not remember that he was still a very young child when his soul was split.
"Don't touch..." Bai Jinshu slowly took two steps back.
Compared to being covered in blood, although Skao can tolerate being soaked, it doesn't mean he can tolerate being patted on the shoulder when he is soaked.
Originally, he had no idea how long the shirt had been soaked in the Wangchuan River. Water was dripping down as he walked. Zhao Yinglai had been careless in doing things since the Little Tang period, and he didn't care about the strength of his hands. It would have been fine if he had just slapped Cen Bingqi, but now he slapped him on the shoulders a few times, and the water droplets in the shirt splashed everywhere, which greatly challenged the bottom line of Skao, who was a person with mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Zhaoyinglai: ...
Skao, you really made me cry. I did the dirty and tiring work for you and went down to the Lethe River to rescue people, but you had mysophobia and thought my hands were dirty.
"After all, I am your savior..." She was puzzled, "Can't I just pat your shoulder a few times?"
If it weren't for her fearless shadow puppet who pulled the two men out of the water, Scario, you would have been soaked by the water of the Lethe River sooner or later!
Bai Jinshu crossed his arms and glanced at her: "Are you sleepy?"
Zhaoyinglai: "Ah?"
Why did Skao suddenly care about her?
"It was already five o'clock when I arrived at the pharmacy last night. Cai Hong and Fang Sha disappeared at around seven o'clock this morning. I only slept for two hours. Are you sleepy?" He expanded on the previous question.
"I am sleepy," Zhao Yinglai replied flattered, "I only slept for two hours, of course I am sleepy."
She has been drinking coffee every day since she entered this unknown space.
"If you're tired, go early," Skao turned around mercilessly and left only this sentence, "otherwise it will be midnight when you find someone."
Although finding a baby in the Lethe River sounds obvious, when you think about the fact that this river has carried countless souls throughout history, you can imagine how much work this is.
If I don't find it earlier, Zhao Ying will have to stay up late tonight.
Zhaoyinglai: ...
She took a deep breath and took note, then slowly gave Skao's back a middle finger.
【The most empathetic episode for Jiang Jie. 】
[Poor Daxian, being played around by the Ao Shen.jpg]
[Aoshen can't just grab a tool man and kill him. 】
[The last time Tiantian went out with Aoshen, it was rice noodle rolls. 】
[Don't talk nonsense, rice noodle rolls don't dare to give the middle finger to Aoshen. ]
[We, Wong Tai Sin, are at least in the second grade, so what's wrong with giving him a middle finger? ]
[Aoshen left cleanly and decisively, and Daxian's back looked helpless and pitiful. ]
[Daxian: You only said that it’s good to become a human, but you didn’t tell me that after becoming a human, I have to work for unscrupulous capitalists.]
【It’s better to be an animal.jpg】
After a long while of laughter on the barrage, someone suddenly remembered:
[So now Immortal Jiang Jie is going to the Wangchuan River to look for someone? ]
[Should be right? ]
[The Forgotten River! How many times can a person see the Forgotten River in his lifetime! ]
【The previous one, once. 】
[Fuck, @房管, why don’t you quickly lock the camera on Jiang Jie! ]
In the unknown space, Bai Jinshu didn't know that the camera had been locked on Zhao Yinglai.
He looked at Wen Qi, whose face was full of "can't see me", and opened the temporary group chat without hesitation while walking: [Did you find someone? ]
He is now going to contact his other tools.
Tang Ling and his friends went to the apartment to look for Cai Hong and Fang Sha. Not only did they post a bunch of photos in the group, they also pushed the message count to 99+. If they still haven't found them, it means that Fang Sha and Cai Hong are not there.
Fortunately, these two people did not go beyond Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai's speculation.
Tang Ling: [Found it. We searched for a long time.]
Tang Ling: [Photo with two red circles.jpg]
Tang Ling: [See if these are the two? ]
Along with Tang Ling's words came a photo.
Bai Jinshu clicked on the photo and enlarged the red circle to take a closer look. Before he could reply, he saw the tool man No. 1 who was supposed to be looking for someone in the Wangchuan River complaining: [From what angle did you take this photo? It's so tricky? ]
As expected, after more than ten seconds, Qiu Zihan's reply popped up: [The air conditioning duct, it's so hard for me to squeeze in! We originally planned to let Sister Di Xue Ni go, but Sister Xue Ni is not strong enough after all, so she couldn't climb up from the bottom, so in the end the job fell on me again. I worked so hard, but my sister still complained that the angle of my photo was not good and I couldn't take a clear picture of everyone's faces. She directed me to climb back and forth three or four times, making me covered in dust... I said that this kind of cubicle is really annoying, and each desk faces a different direction. If all these people could face the same direction like in a classroom, wouldn't it be much easier to take pictures...]
Bai Jinshu: ...
He was annoyed by Qiu Zihan's words and decisively interrupted the conversation between the two people: [This is it. ]
Skao: [Jiang Jie, you still have time to check the group chat while you are looking for something? ]
The shadow disappeared in an instant.
On the other side, Tang Ling also blocked Qiu Zihan's mouth and asked a serious question: [Brother Fa Ye, why are these two people here? And they don't seem to know us. ]
She only found out at noon today that A'lian and A'yuan's real names were Fang Sha and Cai Hong, and they were wanted criminals from another world. They had committed crimes in this world and were being hunted by the police. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to appear in a company that required identity proof for employment, and they dared not appear in public during the day.
Why is he in the company now and acting like he doesn't know them at all?
Her mind raced and she immediately thought of Jiang Jie's friend.
Jiang Jie said that his friend also forgot her after entering this world.
Tang Ling: [Did these two people break a rule just like Jiang Jie's friends in Team 1? Brother Faye, you asked us to come here to find these two people just to confirm the rules, right? ]
She does think quickly.
Skao: [Yeah.]
Tang Ling was very positive: [What rules are there? Let’s fill them out and start a round of investment! ]
It's not surprising that she is so active. Currently in this unknown space, except for Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai, two cheaters who came from a special space, the remaining four people are low-end space team members. Among these four people, only Tang Ling received angel investment.
In order to let investors see her potential and invite her to a higher-level space, she will definitely be more active and hope that there will be as many investment rounds in this unknown space as possible and the level will be as high as possible.
Zhaoyinglai came back to life: [Brother Faye and I are not sure about the details of this rule. We just tried it and it didn’t work. We need to polish this rule.]
She did not directly tell the remaining four people about the rules and traps of this space. One reason was that she was afraid that if she told them a clue, these team members would piece together the answer that this was the underworld. If that happened, Qiu Zihan would suddenly blurt it out, and everyone would be finished.
The second is that if the rules are stated and cannot be spoken out, it will inevitably cause a rift between the other team members and the two of them.
In this case, it would be better not to say anything and just pretend that they know nothing. Before leaving, they will fill in all the rules they have determined. If they are upgraded, everyone will be happy. Even if they are not upgraded, they probably won't see these four people again.
Zhao Yinglai followed Tang Ling's words in the temporary group chat, without revealing any of their currently known information. Bai Jinshu saw that the two had almost finished their conversation, so he interrupted: [Tang Ling, don't leave yet, I'll go take a look later.]
Since Cai Hong and Fang Sha have now become members of the same company as Fu Yiran, the success rate of rescuing Fu Yiran has become much higher. After all, there are two more test subjects now. If there are any plans, they can experiment on these two people first. Even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with their [0106] Gu King.
Bai Jinshu thought about it quickly in his mind, and sighed sincerely that Fang Sha and Cai Hong had value in being alive, and had value in losing their memories. Not only did their bodies take the blame for them, but they also increased their chances of rescuing people. They were really two good people...
After a few arrangements, Di Xueni and Bo Jiren prepared to go back first, one to prepare for the night shift, and the other to prepare to sleep for the early shift.
Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan were waiting for Bai Jinshu to come to the company.
Bai Jinshu put down his watch, brushed his wet hair slightly, and tilted his head to look at Wen Qi: "Do you have a rubber band?"
"Ah? Ah, yes." Wen Qi didn't expect that he would ask her for a rubber band after putting down the watch. She rummaged in the pocket of her skirt for a long time and found a rubber band with a string of crystal decorations and a black bow. "Is this... okay?"
She guiltily handed over the fancy rubber band in her hand.
"Thank you." Bai Jinshu reached out to take the rubber band and prepared to tie a high ponytail.
Wen Qi silently retracted her hand, feeling that she was committing a heinous crime by handing a bow-tie rubber band to such a villain.
Just as she was confessing and controlling herself not to look at Skao, she suddenly heard Skao's voice: "Wen Qi."
"What, what happened?" She looked over.
Scaro was tying his hair with his head down, not looking in her direction. From her angle, she could only see an exceptionally tall nose that seemed to have some foreign blood in it.
"You are not an ordinary person, right?" Scario suddenly asked.
"What do you mean I'm not an ordinary person..." Wen Qi laughed dryly twice, "I can see ghosts, you know that, Brother Skao..."
"Really?" Skao tilted his head to look at her. "You didn't get hurt in the water just now, but it doesn't seem as simple as just being able to see ghosts."
Wen Qi: God knows what that water is. I’m sweating all over.
If it was before today, when Scarao asked her if it was true, she would definitely answer yes without blinking or beating her heart, but after watching Scarao’s revolving lantern, Wen Qi: … pitiful, weak, and helpless.
She thought it would be better if she... stopped lying.
Wen Qi glanced at Scario and spoke cautiously: "Well... I think I might be someone's reincarnation?"
Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Reincarnation?"
What kind of explanation is this? There is no such content in Wen Qi’s revolving lantern.
"That's it..." Wen Qi considered her words, "I look a lot like a dead person, but logically speaking, she and I have no blood relationship."
"This person should have been killed by... those two people."
Bai Jinshu is still unclear about the mechanism of the revolving lantern in the Forgotten River, but it seems that the reproduced scenes are some of the most impressive moments in life, such as the scene when Scario tried the sword for the first time, or the scene when Wen Qi first met those ghost friends.
This content did not appear in Wen Qi's repertoire, probably because it was not something very profound or memorable for her.
Bai Jinshu originally wanted to trick Wen Qi, but he didn't expect that there was a secret behind her identity.
According to Wen Qi, Tianquan Group is actually her mother's family business. Her father's identity is a son-in-law specially recruited by her grandfather because he knew that her mother had a bad temper. His status in the family has always been at the bottom.
She looks a lot like her father, but in fact, she is more like an assistant of his father many years ago.
An incident once happened when Tianquan was still a few decades old and not as big as it is today. Her parents had just gotten married at that time and naturally they were unwilling to see Tianquan fall, so they pushed an assistant to take the blame.
The assistant who took the blame had just graduated a year ago. He did not have the defensiveness of a veteran in the workplace, nor did he have a deep background. With the operation of these two people, he quickly took the blame and successfully removed the two culprits.
These two men are still at large, but the assistant who was wrongly imprisoned just after graduation had a congenital heart disease and died in the detention center due to his extreme mood swings.
When a person dies, there is naturally no evidence. This is a good thing for them. Even if the assistant screamed that these two people would be punished before being taken away, it did not diminish their good intentions.
I can't do anything to them when I'm alive, so how can I do anything to them after I die?
What happened next was just as they expected. Tianquan Group survived the crisis unscathed and continued to develop better and better. The two culprits who pushed others to take the blame did not suffer any retribution. Even after the assistant died, Wen Qi's mother became pregnant.
The continuous happy events and the birth of a new baby in the family made them forget about this harmless little curse. They put it behind their minds and focused on preparing for the birth of the baby.
After Wen Qi was born, although the two were very disappointed to see that it was a girl, Wen Qi was their first child after all. Even though she was a girl at birth, they did not blame her too much. However, as time went by, her special qualities gradually became apparent.
First of all, she often talks to the open space, and says that there is a "sister" here. This child seems to be able to see things that ordinary people cannot see.
Up to this point it was just a little bit special, but as Wen Qi grew older, her appearance gradually deviated from that of her infancy and became clearer and clearer, and her nightmare began.
When it comes to a child's appearance, most relatives and friends are accustomed to looking for similarities among the child's relatives. Outsiders say that Wen Qi looks like his father, but only these two people know that, rather than looking like his father, Wen Qi is actually more like the assistant who was pushed out by them to take the blame.
At first they didn't think of it as a curse. Wen Qi's mother just suspected that Wen Qi's father had cheated on her. But after all, the assistant had been dead for nearly a year, and the child was conceived and born by herself. No matter how she thought about it, it was impossible for her to get pregnant with another woman's child for no reason. So they did a paternity test first.
The results of the paternity test showed that Wen Qi was indeed her biological daughter.
The scientific identification results did not reassure the two people, but made them even more terrified, remembering the terrible curse left by the assistant before he was taken away.
Wen Qi was not pregnant early or late, but she was conceived just after her assistant died. She could see ghosts as soon as she was born, and she even looked more and more like the assistant.
They didn't believe that she was not the assistant's reincarnation coming to seek revenge on them.
What happened next was probably what Bai Jinshu had seen. They treated their child as an assistant who came for revenge. They hated and feared her but did not dare to kill her a second time, so they could only abuse Wen Qi.
Wen Qi didn't know the reason why she was being abused at first. It was not until she entered a boarding school in junior high school that she had the time and money to investigate the crime. She saw the assistant who looked 80% like her and was able to determine the source of her ability to see ghosts.
"So this is why you went to junior high school to do a paternity test?" Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows.
He said how could Wen Qi be the kind of person who would be obsessed with whether these two people were her biological parents.
It turned out that she had learned about this old story and did it to confirm its truth.
Wen Qi agreed weakly: "Yes..."
It is very troublesome to do a paternity test, just for the question of whether she is her biological child or not. In fact, she didn't think that these two people were her parents when she was very young.
She agreed, glancing secretly at Skao.
I don't know if I can make him lose interest in me after talking to this point.
In her sight, Scario curled his lips slightly: "Are you afraid of me?"
Wen Qi replied immediately: "No!"
"Really?" Skao looked at her, "I thought you were a little scared of me because of what you saw of my revolving lantern."
Wen Qi: ...
What a life-threatening question.
Did she answer whether she was afraid or not or whether she didn't see it at all...
The author has something to say:
Answer [afraid], Aoshen: This shows that you don’t know me well enough, you won’t be afraid if you follow me and kill a few people together
Answer [Not afraid], Aoshen: Very good, then come with me to kill someone, you seem to know a lot about the person I plan to kill
Answer [I didn’t see it], Aoshen: Then I will tell you in detail
Wen Qi: ...rescue
Wen Qi's joining progress is 50%. She actually just wants to run away and protect herself. After all, as a poor little girl targeted by her parents, it is difficult to compete with these people. Even if she can see ghosts, the ghosts in this world can't do anything. They can only communicate with her and provide her with information. So she has a lot of information but no corresponding means to defeat them. If she realizes that Aoshen can do it, she will switch sides instantly.
So she didn't realize that the more she talked, the more likely it was that Ao Shen would be able to catch her true feelings, even if what she said was mixed with half truth and half falsehood.
