Chapter 504 Above the Posa (39) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
As if her eyes were burned by the murderous intent, Wen Qi quickly looked away.
In addition to Jiang Jie himself, there was also the little ghost in Jiang Jie's body that she brought out from the bottom of the Forgotten River.
This murderous intent could only belong to the little ghost himself.
"Huh." Wen Qi let out a breath quietly.
The little ghost has murderous intentions towards Lin Jianyu. When he returns to that world, he will definitely take the initiative to kill Lin Jianyu. This should be considered a success, right?
Is this what Scarao wanted to guide her to achieve in the first place?
She was just like Scarao in the revolving lantern...she was able to complete a seamless provocation with just a few words?
Wen Qi blinked uncertainly, feeling that something was unreal.
She...she didn't seem to do anything?
It's just that when telling the story about Hu Qiong, some content was selectively processed artistically - she has been in contact with so many ghosts since she was a child, and the saying "speak differently to ghosts than to human beings" is a realistic description for her. She just said things in a direction that is more favorable to her, which is what she has always been doing.
She just let Qiu Zihan talk nonsense to get close to her - Qiu Zihan and she were of the same age, and as a student, she usually interacted with this kind of classmates the most. They were simple-minded, had never entered society, had no survival pressure other than academic pressure, and were just at the stage where they liked to show off. Even if she left them alone, they would automatically join in the conversation, make jokes and get close to her.
Just using Chang William's mouth to make the kid feel threatened - pretending to be weak and pitiful is her common skill, long skirt + shawl long hair is her initial configuration, Chang William like people who like to show off and pretend to be cool are rare in other places, but there are a lot of them in aristocratic schools. The rich second generation who likes to show off their wealth will be praised wherever they go, and Wen Qi uses the trick of pretending to admire and be surprised without even thinking about it.
These were what she did every day, but when she found the right breakthrough point, she was able to coherently form a murder using language alone.
Is it that simple?
So easy?
She did not make any prior preparations or plans. She just relied on the direction of the conversation guided by Skao and her superficial understanding of these "friends" of Skao to affect the mood of the little devil.
She... also has this talent?
"Sister Tang Ling," she suddenly turned to look at Tang Ling, "What time is it?"
"Now?" Tang Ling glanced at the time and said casually, "Oh, it's almost five o'clock, Wen Qi, are you sleepy?"
Wen Qi suddenly asked about the time, with no other explanation except that she was sleepy.
"It's five o'clock!" Chang William, who was still eager to brag, exclaimed, "Then I'm going to sleep, I'm going to sleep!"
It was actually around 3:30 in the morning when Zhao Ying came back. After saying so much, the time was almost five o'clock. In less than an hour, it would be dawn outside, and in another two or three hours, the pharmacy would open.
It will be difficult to catch up on sleep once the pharmacy opens.
After Chang William shouted, Tang Ling yawned a little sleepily: "It's time to go to bed. I have to go to work at around 8 o'clock tomorrow."
"No, don't sleep," Qiu Zihan was in high spirits, his face full of curiosity, "Brother William, please continue talking, it's so interesting, talk more, talk more!"
Although Chang William likes to show off, he has been to many places and knows a lot of bizarre rumors, so the stories he tells are still very interesting.
What's more, in order to show off, he always talked about the crown prince and the duke. Even if Qiu Zihan didn't know these people, who doesn't like to listen to gossip? Qiu Zihan became more and more excited while listening to the stories and gossip.
"What the hell," Tang Ling rolled up his sleeves and dragged Qiu Zihan back to his previous position without any courtesy, "Don't you see what time it is? Go to bed!"
Qiu Zihan was grabbed by her arm and yelled, "Hey, hey, no, sister, I'm really not sleepy."
Tang Ling: "...If you are not sleepy, William will be sleepy too. Who will tell you a story?"
Qiu Zihan looked at Chang William pitifully, and Chang William yawned honestly.
"Look, everyone is sleepy except you," Tang Ling pushed him down on the chair and threw a coat over him to cover him, "Come on, go to sleep."
The energy level of adolescent young people is simply a mystery. Qiu Zihan has to toss and turn with them every night and has no time to catch up on sleep during the day. I have no idea where he gets so much energy every day.
"I'm not sleepy..." Qiu Zihan rolled over in pain, holding his coat.
"Are you really not sleepy?" Bai Jinshu tilted his head and asked him.
"I'm really not sleepy," Qiu Zihan's eyes lit up, "Brother Faye, do you have a story to tell too?"
"No," Bai Jinshu said coldly, "I have work to do."
"We need to deal with the ground." He stood up.
"What else is there to deal with..." Tang Ling was at a loss.
"The water that dripped when Jiang Jie came in," Bai Jinshu stood up from his seat and tapped the water stains on the ground with his chin, "You came late and didn't know that the water on her body is very special. It has a smell when it drips on the ground. You have to wipe it clean, otherwise the old man will probably nag about it for a long time tomorrow."
The water of the Forgotten River has a special taste for these souls. During the day, Bai Jinshu and Wen Qi came back with water all over their bodies and were scolded by the old man for a long time. If they don't deal with the Forgotten River water dripping on the door and the floor when Zhao Yinglai comes back at night, it is estimated that they will not only be scolded by the old man during the day tomorrow, but maybe everyone passing by the pharmacy will know that someone carrying the water of the Forgotten River has passed by here.
Got to clean it up before the pharmacy opens tomorrow.
Otherwise, it would be fine if the old man knew their identities and knew that they had been to the Forgotten River. But the thing to worry about is that this thing has some other special meaning here, and customers who enter the pharmacy will have unnecessary misunderstandings after smelling it.
When he and Wen Qi came back soaking wet, only Chang William was there, so Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan naturally didn't know about this.
"Ah..." Qiu Zihan drawled out his words, "Isn't this just a puddle of water? Just mop it up and it will be fine."
"Not only that," Bai Jinshu glanced at him coldly, "you also need to grind the medicine into powder to remove the smell. Do you want to mop the floor, pound the medicine, or spread it?"
Qiu Zihan said weakly: "...Excuse me, can I go to sleep?"
"No, young man," Zhao Yinglai stood up from the side and lifted Qiu Zihan up from the stool, "Since you don't want to sleep, come and work!"
Qiu Zihan: "I'm suddenly so sleepy, Brother Jiang Jie... ah."
He covered his forehead: "Brother Jiang Jie, why did you flick my forehead?!"
"Are you still sleepy? Are you not sleepy anymore?" Zhao Yinglai smiled and handed over a mop, "Okay, go mop the floor."
Qiu Zihan looked at Tang Ling pitifully.
Tang Ling: "Why are you looking at me? You said you don't want to sleep, so just mop the floor."
"Sister...are you still my sister?" Qiu Zihan wailed.
"No, your sister is outside," Tang Ling covered himself with his coat and closed his eyes, "Good night."
Qiu Zihan, who was abandoned by his own sister, began to mop the floor with a wronged look on his face. Zhao Yinglai put his hands on his hips and looked at Qiu Zihan's back as she mopped the floor. He felt refreshed all over.
If you are treated as a tool, you will curse in your heart; if you treat others as tools, you will feel comfortable.
She now understood Scarao's mentality when he enslaved her to find someone, and she also felt very happy when she enslaved Qiu Zihan.
[It was as if I saw the black air coming out from behind the Immortal Jiang Jie. ]
【Aoshen used Daxian to blacken him.】
[If you were to soak in water for ten hours, you would also turn evil. ]
[The Great Immortal has completed a major step from the enslaved class to the enslaving class. ]
[Now a new generation of team bottom has appeared: Zi Han! 】
Zi Han is mopping the floor diligently.
Zhao Yinglai clicked his tongue twice, then picked up a stone mortar from the side, put the herbs Bai Jinshu had found into it, and pounded it, making a deafening sound.
"Jiang Jie..." Chang William poked his head out from under the quilt with a weak voice.
"What?" Zhao Yinglai said confidently, "I'm pounding the medicine. If I don't pound the medicine, what will I do with the water stains on the ground?"
She hasn't slept for 24 hours, so no one in this group can sleep.
Chang William brought up Huai Jiamu: "Then keep your voice down...there is another patient."
As soon as she mentioned that she had disturbed Huai Jiamu's sleep, Bai Jinshu, who had been watching the show nearby, immediately gave her a kind smile.
Zhao Yinglai: ...Skao, damn it.
She cursed in her heart: "This stone mortar makes such a loud noise, how about I go outside and pound it?"
William Chang wanted nothing more than to say, "Okay, okay."
He was really sleepy.
Zhao Yinglai went outside the pharmacy, looked at the stone mortar in his hand, and closed the door considerately. After a few minutes, the door of the pharmacy was opened, and Bai Jinshu came out with some medicinal materials on a tray.
"Hey, you're here," Zhao Yinglai came to greet him while sitting at the door.
"Well," Bai Jinshu nodded, "We'll finish it tonight."
What he meant, of course, was to strike while the iron was hot tonight, send the little ghost away before he could react, and let her kill Lin Jianyu.
"Tonight?" Zhao Yinglai was shocked. "Isn't it too fast?"
Wen Qi aroused the little ghost's murderous intention towards Lin Jianyu, but Lin Jianyu was in another world.
The little ghost is a remnant soul and can only live in the body of a paper man. If he wants to go to another world, he can either carry his shadow over now, which can be passed, or he can only transfer it to other paper men and let others take him back.
As for this other person...the only person they knew who belonged to another world was Xu Ke.
It would be best to let Xu Ke and the others take the little ghost with them when they return, but this would involve another problem.
She stopped pounding the medicine, lowered her voice and looked at Bai Jinshu: "What about Wen Qi?"
If Xu Ke and his team go back, they will definitely take Wen Qi with them. After all, the team members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau are not united, and most of them don't want to be targeted by their superiors. Even if Wen Qi is pitiful, she is still an outsider, so they will definitely take her back to avoid disaster.
In this case, as long as they want to send Xiao Gui over, Wen Qi will also be sent over.
But now…
"It's not that I look down on Wen Qi," she added, "I don't think she has reached your level yet. Are you going to let her go now?"
Wen Qi was able to discover the little ghost's emotional flaws tonight thanks to Scarao's crazy hints. Although she seems to have awakened now, it is still too difficult for her to go directly and fight those who harmed the captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.
Taking becoming an apprentice as an example, Wen Qi has probably not even entered the door yet. How can it be true that nothing will go wrong when he becomes an apprentice now?
Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows: "This is not up to me to decide."
Zhaoyinglai:?
"Wen Qi wants to leave, should I stop her?" Bai Jinshu shrugged.
"Oh..." Zhao Yinglai pulled the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully, "I see, you are bullying the little girl again."
It was obvious from Scarao's performance that he knew something, but he didn't intend to point it out actively. Instead, he waited for Wen Qi to come to him.
In that case, she would not bother herself with it anymore and should hurry up to make the medicine, otherwise the old man would come tomorrow morning and smell the stench and tear the three of them to pieces alive.
Wen Qi...Wen Qi, just wish you good luck.
Separated by a wall.
Listening to the faint sound of pounding medicine outside the door, Wen Qi lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking in the dark.
Just less than an hour.
In less than an hour, the attitude of the half of the remaining souls left in this world changed from resolutely not wanting to be contaminated by this world to taking the initiative to attack Lin Jianyu.
If the little ghost wants to kill Lin Jianyu, he must first get out of this world.
It was the first time that Wen Qi did such a thing, and she was unsure of the situation. She was afraid that the kid would change his mind at dawn, so she wanted to send him away as quickly as possible.
She lowered her head, and her mind suddenly started to race.
The little ghost was brought back by Jiang Jie, and Jiang Jie's behavior seemed to be instructed by Scarao, which means that after Scarao heard her say that the little ghost's soul was split, he immediately thought of where the little ghost was. Jiang Jie was covered in water, and he "returned to the shallows" at that time, all in order to find the little ghost.
There was a special way of communication between these two people, which seemed to be the watch. However, they didn't use the watch at that time. Jiang Jie knew where the little ghost was with just a few glances. So these two people must know where this place is.
The little ghost is the residual soul that was cut off. The appearance of the residual soul here, plus the revolving lantern that appeared in the "shallows", this is not "another world" at all, but the other side of the normal world, the underworld opposite to the world of the living.
Scarao and Jiang Jie knew that this was the underworld, and they also knew that the little ghost was in the Forgotten River, and they also knew how to go back.
The way he guided her slowly and confidently must have been because he knew that he was confident in instigating the little devil to kill Lin Jianyu and didn't care whether she could complete the task or not.
It’s best if you can complete it, but there are ways if you can’t.
Regardless of whether she can make the little ghost want to kill Lin Jianyu, Skao has a way to achieve this goal and a way to send the little ghost out.
He originally planned to kill Lin Jianyu because he injured the captain.
Both myself and that little kid had always been within his calculations.
Wen Qi bit her lower lip and quickly recalled what had happened before.
She had no connection with the person who made Scarao plan to kill so many people. It was pure chance that she knew Lin Jianyu and met Scarao. It was also pure chance that Scarao knew that she could see ghosts before he saw her revolving lantern.
The two of them are not related. After getting the information, Scaro did not go and talk to the little ghost himself. Instead, he asked her to come and guided her step by step with all his efforts. Why?
There is only one possibility, Scaro exchanged reels with her, and after seeing her memories, he became interested in her, so he wanted to teach her how to do what was in his own reel.
Otherwise, Scaro would have countless ways to force her to tell the whole thing step by step. Why would he throw out a little devil as a teaching aid to teach her how to do it step by step?
In this conversation tonight, the little ghost was in her calculations, and both she and the little ghost were in Skao's calculations.
It would have been fine if she had not experienced the feeling of being able to stir up trouble with just a few words, but now that she has experienced how easy it is to stir up trouble with words and seen the huge benefits behind it, how could she be willing to return to the world of the living, fake her death and let go of those who had done her harm?
Can you bear to stop here?
Wen Qi asked herself.
Are you willing to return to a life of helplessness after experiencing this feeling?
She bit her lower lip slowly.
She doesn't want to.
She had never realized so clearly that she must have some ability that others did not have. As long as this ability was used properly, she could accomplish things that she had never dared to think of before.
She once thought that she was powerless, but now suddenly someone told her that she could do it, and that it was so simple to do these things. She only needed to use her innate abilities, and she could witness the last stand fall as easily as pushing a domino.
If only she... took one step forward.
Zhao Yinglai was pounding medicine when he heard the door behind him being pushed open again.
She yawned and looked behind her.
Wen Qi was wearing a white dress and standing under the street light, looking at Scarao. The light was bright, and the street was dim, making the silhouettes of the two people look particularly thin under the light.
It’s just that the slightly taller figure seems more casual and gentle, while the slightly shorter one looks up, and his subconscious body movements seem more pitiful.
Then she heard Wen Qi's voice, very thin and light, just as light as when she had just easily pushed away the little ghost's killing intent: "Teacher."
At Scarao's smile that seemed to be expected, Zhao Yinglai sighed in pain.
Wen Qi followed Scarao's idea step by step as if she had read a script.
Now, I have really gone astray.
The author has something to say:
Hey, please continue to send it all 24 hours a day. It's so late and I'm stuck.
