Chapter 509 Above the Posa (44) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
"Ah?" Zhao Yinglai was shocked.
【ah? 】
【ah? ? 】
【ah? ? ? 】
[Are you guys in the front playing some kind of arithmetic progression? ]
[No, Wen Qi is a hermaphrodite? Why? ]
【You ask me? 】
【I asked the God of Ao...】
[How did Aoshen know? ]
[Good question, how did Aoshen know this? ]
Bai Jinshu confirmed this guess only tonight.
Just as Zhao Yinglai said, there are many strange things about Wen Qi, the first of which is her appearance.
At the beginning, when Wen Qi appeared in front of everyone, her first impression on them was that she was just a slightly tall girl.
It was after meeting Xu Ke that they found out that Wen Qi was a minor who had just turned fifteen, and her situation became that of an underage girl whose height far exceeded that of normal women of the same age.
But she was abnormally tall.
Whether it is the revolving door or Wen Qi's own account, her image is that she was abused since childhood and had a serious lack of nutrition. Logically speaking, growing up like this, even for the sake of face, Wen Qi would not be pale and thin, but she should at least be malnourished.
Malnutrition during the growth period can seriously affect development and thus affect height.
Wen Qi's parents are of average height, not unusually tall. Wen Qi does not have the abnormal tall gene, so it is impossible for her to grow taller than the average girl of the same age despite being malnourished.
This is one of them.
When entering the deep water area this afternoon, Bai Jinshu verified that the Forgotten River would split off a portion of the souls of the living people who entered the river. He was not split off because of the fixed attributes or the [Custom Mask] that took effect, causing the Forgotten River to judge him as Skao, causing the "split" of "split the residual souls" to become a reduction in the synchronization rate.
He was not in trouble because he lost his synchronization rate. Then why was Wen Qi, who entered the water with him, also not in trouble?
There must be something wrong with Wen Qi's "soul".
This is the second one.
In the revolving lantern of Wen Qi in Wangchuan River, her father once hysterically called her a "monster". Bai Jinshu initially thought that this name meant that Wen Qi could see ghosts and was a monster.
But if we combine it with what she had said before: she suspected that she might be the reincarnation of someone, and this reincarnated person was a secretary who was killed by her parents, because she looked like both her father and that secretary.
Under normal circumstances, even if the secretary was reincarnated into her mother's womb, the DNA that constitutes the baby's body belongs to her parents and has nothing to do with the secretary, so it is impossible for the baby to look like the secretary.
Even if it was due to some metaphysical factors, and the secretary used some strange method to make his facial features appear on his reincarnated child, then why did Wen Qi look like her father?
This is a very strange doubt. If the secretary wanted revenge, then the couple were the ones who killed her. She could make herself not look like Wen Qi's mother, so why couldn't she make herself not look like Wen Qi's father?
No one wants to look like their enemy.
This is the third one.
Combined with all the previous anomalies, Bai Jinshu came up with a guess that was more likely than reincarnation.
——Possession.
Is it possible that the secretary was not actually reincarnated as Wen Qi, but possessed Wen Qi, which is why she is like both the father and the secretary.
This is because the original "Wen Qi" looks like her father, and looks like the secretary because the secretary possessed her.
Wen Qi can see ghosts because his secretary possessed him.
This guess just flashed through Bai Jinshu's mind, and he didn't explore it too much. After all, this was indeed Wen Qi's secret, and he was just guessing now. Even if he asked Wen Qi about it, she might not admit it.
Although Scarao had a bad taste, Wen Qi did not provoke him, and it would not do him any good to expose him for no reason. It might even scare away the new student, so Bai Jinshu temporarily put the matter on hold.
Until Zhaoying came and brought the little ghost back from the Forgotten River.
The little ghost was different from the residual soul they imagined, which had no reason and only remembered hatred. Although he was in the underworld, he shared vision with the other half of his soul in the world of the living, and knew everything that had happened in the past twenty years.
While posing a problem to all those who expected him to kill Lin Jianyu directly, the little ghost also brought new news - the souls separated into two places can sense what is happening on the other side.
This made Bai Jinshu's speculations about Wen Qi resurface in his mind.
If Wen Qi is a hermaphrodite, then there are two souls in her body - the original "Wen Qi" and the secretary who later merged into her. These two souls are one independent male and one female, which caused her gender abnormality and the rejection of her by Wen Qi's parents.
If Wen Qi could also be like this little ghost, half in the world of the living and half in the underworld, then for those of them who could never go to the other world for safety reasons, she would be like Zhao Yinglai's shadow puppet, and would become the best tool to connect the two sides.
Then next, apart from Lin Jianyu... there is someone more suitable than anyone else to handle it for him.
Under the dim light of the pharmacy, amidst Chang William's triumphant boasting, Bai Jinshu lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and gradually began to plan how to make Wen Qi take the initiative to separate her two souls.
First of all, we have to create a dilemma for Wen Qi where she has to leave here but has to stay here. This will make her feel torn. Finally, she will associate the little ghost's experience with the fact that she can also split her soul, and then take the risk.
It is easy to let her stay here. When the little ghost follows Wen Qi's ideas step by step, she will immediately understand that only by staying in the underworld and staying with Skao can she learn more and do the same things in his revolving lantern after returning to the world.
In order to deepen Wen Qi's sense of urgency in learning, and also out of the truth, he told Wen Qi that he would only stay here for three more days, and they would leave this world after three days. At the same time, Wen Qi would never meet them again after returning to another world.
With Scarao's words, Wen Qi only has three days left to study. She will definitely want to seize the time and follow Scarao all the time.
As for how Wen Qi would have to leave here, the little ghost would be a good move.
If the little ghost wants to go to the human world and kill Lin Jianyu, someone must be responsible for sending him to another world. This person definitely cannot be the members of the exploration team, so the person naturally falls on the indigenous people of this world.
Bai Jinshu knew clearly that the only way to leave this place was to be captured by the underworld officials and sent back to the world of the living. As long as he attracted the underworld officials and diverted the trouble to others, the team members whose identities were discovered would definitely be forced to return to the world of the living.
As for whether he would be discovered later and his capture was all planned by Skao and others, Bai Jinshu didn't consider it at all. Not only would they only stay in this world for seven days, but it would be impossible for them to leave the underworld and go to another world. Even if the member of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau sent by them realized something, it would not have any impact on them.
But those of them who can leave at any time can ignore these impacts, but Wen Qi cannot.
In the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, Wen Qi put a lot of effort into Xu Ke in order to successfully fake her death.
Bai Jinshu curled the corner of his mouth, and under the street light, he quickly chose Xu Ke as the person to send the little ghost up.
Wen Qi had just finished his first trial with the knife, and his mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. He was anxious for Little Gui to strike while the iron was hot and kill Lin Jianyu tonight. He did not notice the vague directionality in Scarao's words, and followed his words to locate the person who sent Little Gui up between Xu Ke, himself, and Scarao and Jiang Jie.
Scarao and Jiang Jie made it clear that they would not go to another world now, and Xu Ke had put a lot of effort into pretending to be pitiful. If he went up, he would definitely find something wrong. Moreover, Xu Ke had a strong sense of justice and would never agree to let the little ghost kill Lin Jianyu. Therefore, the only person who could go up was Wen Qi.
In just a few words, Wen Qi was forced into a dilemma.
She couldn't make a choice between the remaining three days of teaching with Scarao and the God-given opportunity to take action which would never happen again.
Bai Jinshu finished what he had said and left the scene leisurely, leaving only Zhao Ying to tell Wen Qi how to make a substitute. As he had imagined, Wen Qi thought of his own two souls when he heard that the method to make a substitute was to use a paper man to trap a remnant soul from the banks of the Wangchuan River.
The two souls of the little ghost know what happened to each other, so logically, her two souls should also know what happened to each other.
It was already late, and it would take quite a while to go back and forth to the shallows. In a flash, when Wen Qi thought of this, she felt that she had found a solution to this dilemma, so she turned around and ran towards the shallows.
But in fact...
In fact, they could have planned to have other members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau bring the paper figurine of the little ghost up tonight, but they just needed some other plans.
If Wen Qi was not a hermaphrodite and did not suddenly realize and turn away after hearing Zhao Yinglai's words, then Bai Jinshu would "suddenly remember" that they could actually use other team members to achieve their destination, and then shift the target from Xu Ke to other people.
From the beginning to the end, Xu Ke just set up a target to force Wen Qi to make a decision, and he could replace it at any time.
Fortunately, it has now been proved that Bai Jinshu's guess was correct. Wen Qi is indeed a hermaphrodite, and she did take the risk and choose to split her soul in this dilemma, thus becoming the only agent in Bai Jinshu's hands who can connect with the world of the living in this unknown space for the next three days.
Amid the shock of the comments and Zhao Yinglai's surprised expression, Bai Jinshu patted Wen Qi's shoulder with a relaxed look and brushed away her hair... or, now he could be called "him": "I'm just guessing."
"Your guess is too..." Zhao Yinglai twitched his lips, looked at Skao, and then looked at Wen Qi, "So the one who left with Xu Ke tonight was another soul in Wen Qi's body?"
"Yes," Wen Qi nodded, "The one who followed him was...his secretary."
The one who is left is the original Wen Qi, the real child of Wen Qi’s parents.
"So you are a man now?" Zhao Yinglai scratched his head, his expression indescribably strange.
It would have been better if Scarao didn't say it. After she did, she looked at Wen Qi strangely.
Although she still had long hair and a white dress, upon closer inspection, Wen Qi's facial features seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, and her face shape seemed to be a little sharper than before.
If the bangs and the long hair on both sides of the cheeks were all combed up, the masculine part of Wen Qi's facial features might be more obvious, but now with the blessing of hairstyle and clothing, as long as no one reminds, no one will notice that "Wen Qi" has now changed from a girl to a cross-dressing man...
In other words, Wen Qi’s previous gender cannot be simply called “female”.
The more Zhao Ying thought about it, the more strange it seemed. Fortunately, she herself was also a habitual offender of gender switching. Wen Qi's sudden action caught her off guard except for the fact that she was unprepared for hermaphrodite identity, but the rest was nothing special.
It's Skao, the cunning honeycomb briquettes...
She silently looked at the long-haired young man next to her. He had known for a long time that Wen Qi was a hermaphrodite, so Wen Qi's behavior tonight was most likely planned by him.
In just one night...how many twists and turns were in his mind, and how many people did he deceive so calmly?
Receiving Zhao Ying's accusing gaze, Bai Jinshu curled his lips and looked in Wen Qi's direction: "How is Xu Ke doing now?"
A faint white light appeared on the horizon. It was six o'clock in the morning and the sunrise would come in more than an hour.
This night is about to end.
"Xu Ke...has been sent back to another world by the police," Wen Qi answered quickly, "The police station was burned down, and the fire has just been put out. Many places are now uninhabitable, so they simply sent Xu Ke and me out together."
Skao's luck never failed at critical moments. The incendiary bottle that Bai Jinshu casually threw in hit the flammable material. It also happened that a large number of policemen were chasing two suspected arsonists and leaving the police station. By the time everyone reacted, the fire was already very big.
When Xu Ke and Wen Qi were brought back, the ghost officials had just put out the fire. The police station was in a mess and there was no place to put the two souls who were brought back, so they simply released them under the cover of night.
Wen Qi answered so quickly, it was obvious that the two had been back for some time.
Bai Jinshu nodded: "Where are you now?"
"I woke up in the wilderness. Maybe because I was still awake in this world, I woke up faster than Xu Ke in that world," Wen Qi answered obediently, "It was already dawn in the other world. I was afraid that I would not be able to wake up in time, so I simply found a stone nearby and hit Xu Ke, who was still unconscious, to make him more dizzy. I pretended that he suddenly appeared here upside down, and then quickly used the phone in my pocket to call a taxi."
"Hiss..." Zhao Yinglai covered his forehead and felt phantom pain.
The student that Skao had his eyes on was indeed a ruthless person. The stone that could knock someone unconscious was painful just thinking about it...
It is Xu Ke's blessing to meet you two, master and disciple.
Wen Qi discovered that her cell phone was unusable here before she came in, so she immediately turned it off to preserve the power. The remaining power allowed her to successfully call an online taxi after knocking Xu Ke unconscious, and head to the place where the little ghost was sealed before dawn.
Time was running out, the sky was getting brighter, and the sunrise was getting closer. Fortunately, it was not yet the city's morning rush hour. The driver arrived at the location on time. Wen Qi grabbed the paper man carrying the ghost's soul and ran forward.
She didn't know exactly where that location was, she only knew that it was in a villa owned by Lin Jianyu. As the sun gradually emerged over the horizon, light orange light spread across the earth, and the paper figure in her hand instantly turned to ashes under the sunlight.
In a villa area on the edge of the city, Wen Qi supported her knees with her hands, breathing heavily.
In another world, the sun also appeared synchronously at the end of the road.
"Did you catch up?" Zhao Yinglai asked nervously.
Now only Wen Qi knows about the things in the other world. Did Wen Qi successfully send the little ghost back?
"Not sure..." Wen Qi lowered her eyes. "Whether Lin Jianyu is dead or not depends on today's news, and..."
Moreover, if Lin Jianyu died at home, the company's stock market would inevitably be in turmoil, and the stakeholders might even unite and temporarily block the news.
Although she is half alive now, she cannot be sure whether Lin Jianyu is really dead.
"Oh...I see." Zhao Yinglai touched his chin, turned around, and suddenly saw Skao squatting in front of the captain's bed. "Skao? What are you doing?"
In the light orange morning light, Bai Jinshu lowered his eyes and carefully untied the straps around Huai Jiamu's waist. He looked up and met his inquiring gaze.
"You didn't sleep?" He was slightly surprised.
His movements were very gentle. Logically, if Huai Jiamu fell asleep, he would not be woken up by him.
Huai Jiamu's eyelashes moved, a dry hand covered the back of his hand, and his low voice came to his ear: "You didn't come back, is the problem solved?"
Bai Jinshu went out again tonight.
"Solved," Bai Jinshu gently moved his wrist, "Let go first."
Huai Jiamu let go of his hand, allowing him to peel off the last few layers of bandages wrapped around the wound, and pressed his hand on his own wound.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Yinglai came closer in surprise, "Why are you removing the bandage? Changing the dressing at this time?"
"No," she saw Scaro lower his eyes, his fingertips brushing across the hideous wounds, an ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The wounds are starting to heal."
