Chapter 506 Above the Posa (41) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
It was unclear whether Xu Ke slept well or not, but tonight, someone was destined to suffer retribution before Xu Ke because of his momentary gloating.
After a long journey, Qiu Zihan stood in front of the police station, and said in a confused voice: "Brother Fa...Aren't we going to wake Xu Ke up?"
Is this the police station in this unknown space?
Why did they wake Xu Ke up and end up in front of the police station?
Aren't they illegal immigrants? Why did they come to the police station? Xu Ke isn't in the police station, is he?
"Yes, I was telling Xu Ke to get up," his brother Faye stood behind him, crossed his arms, and answered irrelevantly, "Didn't I just take you to find where Xu Ke was sleeping?"
“I did go…but…” Qiu Zihan looked at a loss.
But we didn’t call Xu Ke up?
——【After they came out of the pharmacy, they did go to the small supermarket where Xu Ke worked. Skao even pointed him to the concierge inside the small supermarket, but when he was about to push the door to go in, Skao stopped him with his hand: "Don't go in yet."
"Ah?" Qiu Zihan paused in the middle of rubbing his hands together, "If we don't go in, then what are we going to do?"
"Let's go to another place now," Scario turned and walked to another place, motioning Qiu Zihan to follow. 】
In front of the police station, Bai Jinshu received his affirmative answer and asked as a matter of course: "Then is it possible that you don't remember the way from here to Xu Ke's place?"
“I did remember it…but…” Qiu Zihan hesitated to speak.
But why remember this road?
——【After coming out of where Xu Ke was sleeping, his brother Faye walked in front of him, telling him to remember this road as they walked.
"Why do you need to remember this?" Qiu Zihan looked confused.
"You just need to remember it," Skao said coldly as he walked in front, comparing it with the map. "With your memory, I suggest you recite it in your mind as you walk, otherwise you will forget the way completely."
"Ah? But why do I have to remember this?" Qiu Zihan didn't understand, but he still remembered as he walked, "Turn left, turn right, right..."
At the entrance of the police station, Bai Jinshu received another affirmative answer and continued to ask confidently, "Or are you sleepy now? Are you hungry?"
"I'm not sleepy nor hungry...but..." Qiu Zihan was interrupted three times in a row and was about to speak.
But didn’t they come out to wake Xu Ke up?
——【Along the way, Qiu Zihan asked innocent questions while remembering the route: "Left, right, left, left, right...Brother Faye, let's go wake Xu Ke up, why are you only calling me?"
"Isn't there still Jiang Jie?" His brother Faye glanced at Jiang Jie out of the corner of his eye.
"But are there just three of us? Why don't you call me sister?" Qiu Zihan was confused.
He originally thought that they were just going to disturb Xu Ke's sleep, but now it seems that is not the case, otherwise why didn't they just push the door open and go in.
Zhao Ying came in a serious tone, slandering Xu Ke's reputation behind his back: "Because your sister is a woman, Xu Ke likes to sleep naked, and we don't want her to get stye."
The real reason is of course that Qiu Zihan is a fool. No matter what happens, he would not think that all the trouble tonight was just to send the little ghost to another world to kill Lin Jianyu.
It is very likely that Tang Ling will deduce from these clues that this is the underworld, and then kill everyone or create discord within the team.
"Then Brother William..." Qiu Zihan was at a loss.
"Chang William is sleepy again. Didn't you say you weren't sleepy?" Bai Jinshu tilted his head.
"I'm not sleepy." Qiu Zihan didn't understand.
"I'm glad you're not sleepy," he gave Qiu Zihan a meaningful look, "Are you hungry? If you are, Bo Jiren's noodle shop should be open at this time. You can eat something before going there."
Qiu Zihan didn't understand but still answered obediently: "I'm not hungry either..."]
At the entrance of the police station, Bai Jinshu nodded with satisfaction: "Now that you remember where Xu Ke lives and know how to get to where Xu Ke sleeps from here, and you're not even sleepy or hungry, we can start waking Xu Ke up, right?"
"Right...right, so does this have anything to do with us waking Xu Ke up?" Qiu Zihan's eyes were filled with clear stupidity, "How are we going to wake Xu Ke up here?"
"Come on, climb up first." Bai Jinshu raised his chin towards the gate of the police station next to him.
"Oh...oh," Qiu Zihan climbed up the wall without knowing why, sat on the wall, and looked down, "I climbed up, and then what about Brother Faye?"
"Then jump down." Bai Jinshu continued to command.
Qiu Zihan jumped down from the wall lightly and asked cautiously: "And then - Brother Faye -"
"Then do you see the dormitory building of the police station in front?" Bai Jinshu asked patiently.
"See, I saw it." Qiu Zihan replied nervously.
"Okay, go stand in front of the building," Bai Jinshu opened a temporary group chat, "We'll keep in touch through the group chat later."
"Ah...ah? Isn't it dangerous?" Qiu Zihan trembled, "Aren't we illegal residents?"
"You have a job, so how can you be considered an illegal resident?" Skao's voice was gentle and kind on the other side of the wall. "And will I harm you?"
"No!" Qiu Zihan walked confidently to the police station dormitory.
Bai Jinshu raised his chin towards Zhao Yinglai who was beside him.
Zhao Yinglai: "...Are you sure that Qiu Zihan won't be caught?"
Although Qiu Zihan's ability to run away is second only to the shadow puppet Jiang Jie who never gets tired, but with so many police officers chasing after him, is it really possible that Qiu Zihan will not be caught?
Bai Jin said: "I'm not sure, so this doesn't involve you."
After all, if Qiu Zihan was caught, if Skao wanted to use his fighting power to rescue Qiu Zihan from here, it would be faster to let Qiu Zihan wait for death, at least death would really come.
Zhao Yinglai: ...I’m really grateful.
"I knew that nothing good would happen if I didn't sleep at night." She replied gritting her teeth.
"Hurry up," Bai Jinshu glanced at the time, "Time is tight. There are other things to do after the smash. The little ghost in you has not been separated yet, and Wen Qi has not received it yet."
"So Wen Qi really went to the shallows?" Zhao Yinglai was surprised, "What did she go there for?"
"You'll know in a moment," Bai Jinshu looked at Zhao Yinglai meaningfully, "Hurry up and throw the bottle away. Qiu Zihan is urging you in the group chat."
Zhaoyinglai:?
She inexplicably opened the group chat, and in the temporary group chat, Qiu Zihan's innocent words from a few seconds ago appeared: [Brother Fa Ye, what should I do next? ]
Zhao Yinglai felt sorry for Qiu Zihan, the unlucky guy, and silently took out two glass bottles from the side: "Then I smash it?"
Bai Jinshu took a step back and made a gesture of invitation.
With two crisp sounds of glass bottles falling to the ground, the incendiary bottles carefully made by Zhao Yinglai suddenly ignited two seas of fire in the open space in front of the police station.
After smashing the incendiary bottle, the instigator sent a final message in the group chat with sympathy: [It's your turn to escape next. Be careful not to get caught by the police. The routes we take you tonight are all safe routes without monsters. Run to Xu Ke and divert the trouble to the police to catch Xu Ke. Your mission will be accomplished. Come on!]
Even through the wall, Qiu Zihan could hear the huge questioning sound he made after seeing the message: "Huh?"
"Brother Faye, Brother Faye——"
"Brother Jiang Jie, ah ah ah Brother Jiang Jie——"
“Ahhhhh help – why is there a sudden fire here – where do I get out – ahhhhh –”
[How pitiful, baby Zi Han. ]
[I was deceived by two adults... Zi Han. 】
【Zi Han: You only said you wanted to wake Xu Ke up, but you didn’t say you wanted the police to wake him up! 】
[Not to mention that they asked you to be bait to attract the police to wake up Xu Ke.]
[It also did not say that they were going to burn down the police station.]
[I haven’t said I’m going to run a marathon yet.]
[A thousand words can be summed up into one sentence... It's so pitiful, Zi Han! ]
At the gate in front of the police station, the two bad guys who had murdered minors shook their heads.
"What's wrong?" Bad guy number one Bai Jinshu looked at bad guy number two Zhao Yinglai for a few seconds, "What's that expression on your face?"
Zhao Yinglai said faintly: "I am thinking whether I should get rid of this evil for the people."
Scarao is a very bad person. Not only did he deceive the innocent child Qiu Zihan, but he also dragged her into trouble.
"Wake up, stop worrying. Is your substitute ready?" Bai Jinshu said bluntly.
"It's done, it's done..." Zhao Yinglai rolled his eyes and took out a paper man from his pocket, "Hurry up and tell me, who is this for? If not for Xu Ke, is it really for Wen Qi? Then what's the matter with Wen Qi going to the shallows?"
Paper figures are naturally essential props for transforming the remaining souls of little ghosts.
If she wants to solve the problem of the little ghost tonight, she will have to run to the shallows again to separate the little ghost from her body and stuff it into the paper man. Not to mention how long it will take her to go back and forth before she can fall asleep. The problem is that it is unclear what Wen Qi will choose now. Who should she give the little ghost to?
Scarao seemed to know everything but said nothing, which really made her want to do something.
"I told you that you will know when you get there," Bai Jinshu glanced at Zhao Yinglai, who was full of resentment, "You go to pick her up and move the little ghost at the same time. It's the fastest way to go from here to the shallows. How long will it take you?"
"From here to the shallows... that depends on which shallows you're talking about." The police station was in a turmoil. Zhao Yinglai gritted his teeth and resignedly followed him into the alley next to it. He leaned against the wall and continued, "Is it the shallows, or the one we're going to?"
"Is there any difference?" Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows.
"There is no difference. The place we are going to is a little further away, but the water quality is the same," Zhao Yinglai explained, "After all, it is essentially a river..."
"Actually, no matter which direction you go, you can reach the shallows at the end. The place we followed Fang Sha and Cai Hong to is not the closest to the pharmacy," she said while looking around. "From here to the shallows, it is closer than the pharmacy."
Zhao Yinglai had been soaking in the Forgotten River for nearly ten hours today. When he used the map to look for people, he had already figured out the relative positions of the Forgotten River and the city in the underworld.
The Forgotten River basically surrounds the city geographically. If you want to enter or exit, you can only leave from a few specific bridges, probably the so-called Mengpo Bridge.
That location was just the place where Cai Hong and Fang Sha found the shallows. It was not the shortest distance from the pharmacy to the shallows. They only knew the address leading to the shallows before, so they could only enter from that location. Since the living soul could not enter the Forgotten River, anyone who entered the shallows could circle the entire city as long as they kept walking in one direction.
Under this premise, as long as you have a map to determine your current location, you can find the nearest route to enter the shallows of the Forgotten River.
"So how long does it take to go from here to the shallows and back?" Bai Jinshu glanced at the time.
I don’t know whether the time in the underworld is the same as the time in the world of the living, but if calculated according to the time here, there are less than two hours until dawn and less than four hours until the sun rises.
"About an hour if it's fast," Zhao Yinglai calculated. "There's no public transportation at this time. It would be too slow to walk back, at least three or four hours. But riding a bicycle would be much faster, about an hour. If you can get a motorcycle or a car, it would be even faster, down to 40 minutes."
There's still time.
“Ah——”
As Qiu Zihan screamed, a dishevelled figure climbed over the high wall, and then the lights in the police dormitory lit up one by one.
The two watched Qiu Zihan jumping up and down and running away.
"Qiu Zihan seems to be going in the opposite direction..." This is what Zhao Ying said while touching his chin.
When this kid memorized the way, he only remembered the way forward, backward, left and right as the way he came, not the way back.
Zhao Yinglai had a complicated expression on his face. He really wanted to remind Qiu Zihan in the temporary group chat that the way back was in the opposite direction, but looking at Qiu Zihan's current state, he probably didn't have time to check the group chat.
"It doesn't matter. If we go slower, we can still wait for Wen Qi to come back." This was said by Bai Jin, who used Qiu Zihan as bait.
If we want to send Xu Ke from here to the world of the living tonight, normal means will not be enough. The fastest way is to send him back through the ghost messengers, so we need a bait to lure the ghost messengers to Xu Ke's door.
Since Zhao Yinglai is not a living soul, he will not necessarily be chased, and Scario is not good at long-distance running. Originally, this candidate should have been chosen from the remaining five people, but it was Qiu Zihan's fault for not sleeping at this time.
If you don't go to bed at 3:30 in the morning, nothing good will happen.
The two looked at each other, and Zhao Ying said consciously: "Then I'll find a means of transportation... and bring Wen Qi back by the way?"
"Yes," Bai Jinshu nodded, "as soon as possible."
"Of course it has to be as soon as possible..." Zhao Yinglai looked at the chaotic police station with a headache, and said hesitantly, "But do you think Qiu Zihan can hold on until I come back?"
Can Qiu Zihan really escape from this group of policemen and bring Wen Qi back?
"Who said Qiu Zihan is the only one here?" Bai Jinshu looked at her with confusion on his face.
"Ah? Did you call Tang Ling out too?" Zhao Yinglai looked around, still confused.
Before she could finish her words, she saw the door of the police station open, and the next second, the damn Scarao took out a third Molotov cocktail from somewhere and leisurely threw it at the policemen.
"Of course there's you too," he patted Zhao Yinglai's shoulder, "Come on."
Zhaoyinglai: "Ah?"
Zhao Yinglai: "Damn, do you have any conscience, Skao? Aren't you afraid that I will drag you down with me?!"
“You’re such a bastard—” She yelled, and tried to reach out to grab Skao, but found that he had disappeared without a trace. “Okay, okay, I’ll remember you—”
In the darkness of the night, Zhao Yinglai's back as he jumped up and down and left was like a second Qiu Zihan.
As a team of ghost messengers followed her and left, Bai Jinshu slowly walked out from the shadows of the alley.
Scaro's luck is very useful. As long as he hides in these shadows, everyone will be blind and unable to see him.
Qiu Zihan would definitely not be able to run back to Wen Qi in time tonight if he was alone, but with Zhao Ying to divert attention, it should be enough.
Jiang Jie is a shadow puppet, not a living soul that needs to be sent back to the world of the living. By the time the police find out that this is just a decoy, Qiu Zihan should have realized that he was running in the opposite direction and started running towards Xu Ke.
After harming two innocent teammates, Bai Jinshu watched the two men leave with a long list of Yinchao each, then he took out the remaining few incendiary bottles and threw them into the dormitory building of the Yinchao over a wall. Under the flames, he leisurely walked back to the small supermarket where Xu Ke worked, found a secluded alley, took out a few pieces of brown paper wrapped in medicine from his pocket, and leisurely placed them on the ground.
Then, in full view of everyone, he yawned, sat on the ground and began to take a nap.
[Did Aoshen just sleep like this? 】
[It seems so. ]
[He even brought some brown paper to pad the floor, which means Aoshen had already planned to trick Zi Han and Jiang Jie from the beginning, and then sleep here and wait for them to come back, right? ]
[It seems so. . ]
[So now Zi Han and Jiang Jie are running for their lives, but Aoshen is catching up on his sleep, right? ]
[It seems so...]
【As expected of you. 】
[The episode that best fits the character setting. 】
The author has something to say:
What's wrong with the weak scholar Ao Shen? Ao Shen is just not good at running.
Zhao Yinglai & Zi Han: Listen to me saying thank you...
It's been delayed until midnight again, this chapter will still be released in 24 hours (walking around)
There really shouldn't be any lags tomorrow. Hantang will get up at 5:30 tomorrow to start writing. If it lags again, I will... I will give out all the red envelopes again...
