Chapter 505 Above the Posa (40) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
When he heard the word "teacher", not to mention Wen Qi who came to find Skao on her own initiative and Bai Jinshu who had known that Wen Qi would come, the barrage of comments was filled with confusion.
【Oh no. 】
【What's going on? 】
【Why did you suddenly call me teacher? 】
[I vaguely remember that when Aoshen was in the First Hospital, there was a foreigner who called him Teacher in French? At that time, someone also said that there was something wrong with the corridor of the First Hospital. When you enter this corridor, you will see dead people related to the person who enters...]
[So Ao Shen is his own student? ]
[…Qiu Zihan went to the main room to talk.]
【Why am I Qiu Zihan? 】
[Your train of thought is no different from Qiu Zihan's. Who would think that it was Aoshen who killed people? Why didn't the murdered people seek revenge on him but called him teacher instead?]
[Yes, why? ]
[The current consensus is that it is possible that Ao Shen taught them how to kill people, so when they were caught and sentenced to death, their deaths would be related to Ao Shen, but in fact, they were not killed by Ao Shen.]
[So Aoshen is not an ordinary doctor in his native world? (Shocked)
【? Who told you he was an ordinary doctor? Do you think he looks like an ordinary doctor?】
[He said this himself when he entered this unknown space...]
[…Qiu Zihan, come on and speak! ]
The comments were full of random comments. Under the streetlight, a teacher called out. Wen Qi nervously looked at Bai Jinshu's expression. Not seeing any rejection on his face, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Teacher, how is that kid going to get back?"
It was the first time she had done something like this, and she felt uneasy until she saw the results right away.
Bai Jinshu did not answer immediately, but looked at Wen Qi bit by bit.
For Wen Qi, she just opened the door to a brand new world in an instant. For Skao, Wen Qi was also a somewhat novel experience.
This was the first time he met someone who was subtly similar to him and could make the same moves with a little guidance.
Although they are all called teacher, in a sense, there is an essential difference between Wen Qi and those "students" who called him teacher before.
They are called teachers because Skao chose them and wanted to make them into his own new works. These people are the necessary raw materials for making works and are the embryos that need to be polished in the creative process.
Although the old saying goes that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, for most people, the relationship between them and Skao is not that of teacher and student, but that of the sculptor and the work. As the person pulling the strings of the puppet, Skao only wants to give them fish, and they can only understand the fish.
And Wen Qi...Wen Qi is a very rare person of her kind.
She did not need Skao to polish her, nor was she a strange embryo that grew up. She was a fellow creature that could cross the line with just a little push, so Skao could not help but break the water mirror in front of her, urging her, pushing her into the world that belonged only to her fellow creatures.
Skao wants to teach a man how to fish.
Wen Qi is actually Scarao's first student in the true sense.
Bai Jinshu looked at his new student for a long time, until Wen Qi felt creepy, then he raised his lips and said, "Don't you know where this place is?"
They didn't avoid Wen Qi when they talked, and even found the little ghost with the help of Wen Qi's information. As long as she was willing to think, she would be able to figure out where this place was.
If Wen Qi didn't know, then they wouldn't have to continue.
Wen Qi raised her eyes tentatively: "So this place is really..."
Is it really the underworld?
Then why is this place called "another world"?
"It's true," the long-haired young man raised a finger under the street light, "but you can't say it out loud."
Wen Qi's eyes moved slightly.
"That's how Fang Sha and Cai Hong disappeared..." She thought for a few seconds and suddenly realized.
After Fang Sha and Cai Hong were brought back by them at night, they disappeared inexplicably the next day. There was no sign of the two people escaping in the entire pharmacy, and even the doors, windows and locks were locked.
Scarao and Jiang Jie had anticipated the disappearance of these two people. Although there was no evidence, Wen Qi was certain that they were the ones who killed them.
But it is true that no one entered or left the pharmacy that night, it is also true that the door was locked and never opened, and it is also true that the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau on guard did not see anyone entering or leaving. With so many people in the entire pharmacy, it is impossible for Scarao and Jiang Jie to kill someone and dispose of the body without opening the door and alerting the members on guard.
So these two people really "disappeared".
Then the one who could make them disappear must be a supernatural force, a force that Skaao and Jiang Jie knew very well, but others did not.
She had always wondered how Scario had done it, and now it seemed... he was probably taking advantage of the ban on saying that this was the underworld.
So Scario never told Jiang Jie where this place was, but kept playing guessing games with him.
Wen Qi's eyelashes fluttered quickly, and she asked bravely, "Then... doesn't that mean Cai Hong and Fang Sha must say this without anyone listening, so that only the two of them can disappear?"
How did Skao manage to not convey any specific information while ensuring that these two people communicated this information behind everyone's back?
Bai Jinshu didn't answer or deny it, he just looked at her calmly: "You want to ask these questions now?"
"No... I came to ask the little ghost what to do." Wen Qi was reminded by him and suddenly remembered that the original intention of coming here was to ask the little ghost what to do.
Scarao naturally has his own way of scheming Fang Sha and Cai Hong, but her most important problem is how to get the little ghost out of here.
"Teacher," she blinked and softened her tone, "Is it Brother Jiang Jie who will go up?"
"I'm not going." Zhao Ying came over after pounding the medicine and just happened to hear this question, so he answered casually.
For safety reasons, she would definitely not go to the world of the living.
"Teacher..." Wen Qi looked at Bai Jinshu blankly.
"Jiang Jie won't go up." Bai Jinshu answered very straightforwardly with his arms crossed.
They are not the natives of this unknown space. They are able to enter the underworld as members of the foundation's exploration team because the owner of the space has obtained the key to the underworld. The foundation has also determined the maximum number of people and the maximum time that it can accommodate through detection, so they can enter this space.
But the rules are unclear now, and they are not sure whether the underworld and the world of the living here belong to the same space.
The worst result of entering another space without a key is being judged as an outsider by the rules and dying on the spot. Although the shadow puppets from Zhaoying are worthless, Jiang Jie is very useful as a tool man, and it is not worth it for Lin Jianyu to trade Jiang Jie for one.
"Then..." Wen Qi was stunned, "Then... who will send the little ghost up?"
Isn’t the little ghost in Jiang Jie’s body?
If Jiang Jie doesn't go, how can he put it back into the world of the living to kill Lin Jianyu?
"Xu Ke, any of Xu Ke's team members can do it. Of course, if you are worried, you can do it yourself," Bai Jinshu curled his lips, "We naturally have a way to transfer the little ghost out of Jiang Jie's body. Don't forget, we know how to make a substitute, but are you sure... you want Xu Ke to do these things?"
Wen Qi frowned in embarrassment.
Xu Ke and the others definitely can’t do it.
Although we don't know how to separate the little ghosts for the time being, Xu Ke, as a special police officer of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, is a bit too righteous.
She would act pitiful and weak in front of Xu Ke to accumulate guilt in Xu Ke's heart and wait for future use, because she was sure that Xu Ke was overly righteous. But this also meant that Xu Ke would never accept their request to help them bring the little ghost up and then let him kill Lin Jianyu.
Wen Qi quickly calculated in her mind. If they hid the real reason for sending the little ghost up from Xu Ke and let him leave with the little ghost, then when he brought the little ghost to the place where the other half of his soul was sealed, Xu Ke was not blind. When he saw the little ghost disappear and Lin Jianyu die, he would definitely guess what he had done.
By then, according to Xu Ke's sense of justice, the guilt capital that he had accumulated from him would definitely be wiped out, and he might even doubt his true motives.
It’s not worth it.
What's more, this is the case if it succeeds. If Xu Ke agreed but did not go, then Xu Ke would be in the world of the living and she would be in the underworld. There would be a world wall between the two sides, and there would be no way to communicate information. She would have no way of knowing whether Xu Ke went or Lin Jianyu died.
If they really want to ensure that the little ghost can kill Lin Jianyu, they must find someone who will definitely take him to a place where the other half of his soul is sealed, and who will not in turn doubt their motives and take him back to the world of the living.
As for the candidates, the only ones available at the moment are Jiang Jie, Skao, and myself.
"Not only Jiang Jie won't go up, I won't either," Skao added slowly, as if he had heard her thoughts, "and let me remind you, you know where this place is. We will only stay here for seven days. When I met you it was the second day, and today is the fourth day. After the seven days are up, you won't see me in any world, and it's impossible for you to see me again."
That is to say, Scarao will only stay here for three days, and when he leaves, Wen Qi, as the only one with a name and surname among all the people, will be the only one who will be held accountable.
At the same time, Jiang Jie and Skao will not leave, so the only reliable person to send the little ghost up is herself.
Should he send the little ghost up to make sure it kills Lin Jianyu, or should he stay in the underworld and use up Xu Ke's guilt capital to carry out an uncertain entrustment and spend the remaining three days of study here with Skao.
Wen Qi pursed her lips. Was Scarao asking her to make a choice?
"Jiang Jie," Bai Jinshu glanced at Zhao Yinglai, "Did he say anything to you?"
"Who? Oh, little ghost," Zhao Yinglai was in a daze. He took a second to react after hearing his words, and then added, "The little ghost can only appear at night. During the day, he will turn into ashes in the sun, so he can only act at night."
Sunlight is the nemesis of ghosts and the like. Even when the other half of his soul is at its peak, he cannot appear in the sunlight.
By this calculation, the possibility of asking Xu Ke for help is even lower.
He is not an ordinary person who knows nothing. As one of the groups in the world who may have the most contact with these things, the restriction of "must act at night" is enough to make him alert.
"Have you finished pounding your medicine?" Wen Qi fell into deep thought. Bai Jinshu looked at Zhao Yinglai and said casually.
"Okay." Zhao Yinglai raised the stone mortar in his hand.
"I'll go sprinkle the medicine in there," he took the mortar and looked at Wen Qi meaningfully, "You can think about it slowly, but I think there's no time."
The time a person can be emotional is limited. The little ghost can only act at night. If tonight is missed, the possibility of it killing Lin Jianyu will drop sharply, and there will be less than four hours before dawn.
Wen Qi was struggling fiercely in her heart, and Bai Jinshu pushed open the door of the pharmacy. He seemed to suddenly remember something and turned around and said, "By the way, if you still want to be a substitute, you can ask Jiang Jie how to do it."
As he closed the door, Wen Qi and Zhao Yinglai were both locked outside the room.
The pharmacy was completely silent, and everyone seemed to be asleep.
Bai Jinshu picked up the slag from the mortar and scattered it on the ground where the water stains were just left. He kicked Qiu Zihan's stool and said, "If you can't sleep, don't pretend to sleep."
"Brother Faye," Qiu Zihan asked flatteringly with a pair of eyes emerging from his coat, "I have already mopped the floor, so there is nothing else to do, right?"
"It's not labor," Bai Jinshu lowered his eyes and smiled, "There is action, do you want to go?"
"What action?" Qiu Zihan pretended to yawn, looking very sleepy, "Brother Fa Ye, I'm really sleepy..."
Before Qiu Zihan finished speaking, Bai Jinshu said, "Let's go wake Xu Ke up."
Qiu Zihan:!
He suddenly perked up: "Ah? Calling Xu Ke to wake up? At this time?"
"Yes," Bai Jinshu nodded, "this point."
Qiu Zihan: "It's not good to disturb someone's sleep... Why are you calling him at this time?"
As he said it was not very good, he couldn't help but smile maliciously.
"Don't ask what we are doing, just tell me whether we are going to do it or not?" Bai Jinshu tilted his head.
“Go, go, go!” Qiu Zihan jumped up from his chair, rubbing his hands together, “It’s 4:30 in the morning and Xu Ke hasn’t slept yet!”
"What are you going to do?" When Zhao Yinglai opened the door, he heard Qiu Zihan rubbing his hands together.
"Where is Wen Qi?" Bai Jinshu tilted his head.
"Wen Qi... I don't know why, but after asking me how to make a double, she suddenly ran away as if she had suddenly realized something." Zhao Yinglai was confused, "I wanted to ask you what was wrong, why did you let her make the choice?"
Wasn't he the one who had been trying to lead Wen Qi astray? Why was it Skao who asked Wen Qi to choose between killing Lin Jianyu and becoming his student?
What on earth does he want to do? Should he still accept Wen Qi as his student?
"You'll know what I want to do in a moment," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's make a bet. What do you think Wen Qi will choose?"
"Is there any need to think about it? They will definitely choose you, right?" Zhao Yinglai was confused.
Wen Qi could still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal. If she could learn real things from Skao, then she would be able to deal with more than just Lin Jianyu. But if she chose Lin Jianyu this time, then without Skao's guidance, she would stumble and try on her own, and who knows when she would fail.
"No," Bai Jinshu smiled in an ambiguous way under the dim moonlight, "Wen Qi will choose both."
He was not sure about his guess at first, but when he heard Wen Qi turn around and leave, his guess must be true.
Apart from other things, there is actually an interesting person like Wen Qi in this unknown space. It's really interesting...
"Let's go," he curled his lips slightly, "Let's not talk about Wen Qi anymore, let's go wake Xu Ke up first."
"No, why don't you mention Wen Qi? Explain clearly before you leave." Zhao Yinglai was confused. "Why did Wen Qi choose both? Is she going to imitate Xiao Gui and cut herself up?"
Isn’t she afraid of something going wrong?
Isn't it enough to alert her that Voldemort went mad and lost his nose after cutting himself into seven pieces?
Or is there actually no Harry Potter in this world... Then where did Lin Jianyu get the inspiration to cut off the little ghost? Zhao Yinglai's mind went off track strangely for a moment.
"I'm not sure. I don't know either. Let's wait and see together." Bai Jinshu said perfunctorily as he walked.
"Just wait and see, just explain yourself..." Zhao Yinglai was furious, "You'll get beaten if you're halfway through your words!"
"Do you think Xu Ke has slept at this time..." Bai Jinshu crossed his arms and spoke leisurely, avoiding the question.
Could he have foreseen that after spending two or three days looking for a way to leave, he would soon be banished back to the world of the living in a very tragic way?
Zhao Yinglai: "...Haha, I don't know. Anyway, I haven't slept yet."
She stared at Scarao's back quietly, and felt an impulse to rid the people of this evil.
In fact, Scarao’s real identity is not a community doctor, but a sleep thief, right?
Anyone who has any relationship with him will have their sleep stolen by him, and they will become nocturnal creatures that can only crawl in the darkness at night.
The author has something to say:
Xu Ke in his sleep: He shivered for no apparent reason, pulled the quilt and continued to sleep

I just don't believe it. It can't happen again for the third time or the fourth time. How can Skao block me for four days in a row?
