Chapter 44: Innocent indeed. Time goes back to a few minutes ago. ...
Time goes back a few minutes.
Tu Zhizhuo recognized the person in front of him based on the flash of lightning that passed by during the battle.
"Hiss... didn't you say the probability of me encountering these things is very small?"
Lei Yinyin paused as she healed her wounds: "Logically speaking, it should be."
She had read Tu Zhizhuo's fate and knew that he had strong Yang energy and would be very rich and powerful. Ghosts and demons did not like such a fate.
Lei Yinyin's nose twitched, and she seemed to smell a faint strange smell.
But there was no time for her to figure that out.
She only briefly treated Tu Zhizhuo's ankle and immediately stood up.
"I killed that ghost, but its little world didn't collapse, so it will attract other ghosts. This is urgent, we need to get out of here first."
Tu Zhizhuo tried to twist her ankle, only to feel another piercing pain. She put her hands on the ground, but instead of using them to support herself, she was pierced by broken glass.
Blood gushed out and her nose felt sore.
Those are her hands! Her piano-playing hands!
When Lei Yinyin saw her crying, he didn't react at all. He just said "Excuse me" and bent down.
Tu Zhizhuo thought she was going to hug her, and her face showed panic, but after a dizzying moment, she was surprised to find that she was being carried on the other person's shoulders.
Tu Zhizhuo:?
"Don't worry, I'm very steady. If you're scared, you can pull me."
Lei Yinyin held her in one hand like a sack, and made hand gestures with the other.
A flash of lightning passed by and struck the two men in front of Tu Zhizhuo's horrified gaze.
The lightning dissipated, and with it, no trace of any living creature in the darkness.
-
Not long after, in a simple room, Tu Zhizhuo was making a call with a broken cell phone.
"...Yes, I was in a car accident... You don't have to come, it's not a big deal, just a little injury on my foot, it will be fine in two days, I will come back to see you then... My friend is here, she will take care of me... No, she's not some bad friend, she didn't race with me... She's a police officer, she just happened to be nearby... What do you mean I'm finally on the right path? If Su Huaiwang hears her, she will be sad... Okay, okay, go to sleep."
After hanging up the phone, Tu Zhizhuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although her parents were concerned, they also knew that she had a tendency to cause trouble, so they didn't ask too many questions after they found out that it was nothing serious.
There was a knock on the door, and Tu Zhizhuo answered absentmindedly, "Come in!"
Lei Yinyin walked in wearing a uniform. Tu Zhizhuo was quite surprised: "You actually wear a uniform?"
Lei Yinyin glanced at her and said, "You are quite carefree." You even have time to pay attention to such details.
Tu Zhizhuo lay down on the bed and played dead: "I have to be careless. There is nothing I can do when encountering such a thing."
"You recited that number in your mind, so I was able to come and save you in time."
Tu Zhizhuo turned over and asked, "What do you mean? Does Su Huaiwang also know that number?"
Lei Yinyin didn't say anything, picked up the teapot and poured some tea.
Tu Zhizhuo curled his lips, knowing that this meant he couldn't tell her.
After carefully observing the person in front of him, Tu Zhizhuo realized that her face was not looking good.
Tu Zhizhuo also became nervous and could no longer lie still. He stood up and stared at her:
"What's wrong? What happened? Did something happen to Su Huaiwang?"
Lei Yinyin put down the teacup and said, "Lie down, be careful not to hurt your legs again."
Tu Zhizhuo was unyielding: "Tell me first."
Lei Yinyin sighed: "Su Huaiwang is still the same as always, nothing's wrong." She left an eye on Su Huaiwang, and she just made a special trip there for fear of being cheated.
Su Huaiwang was fine, and he probably didn't even know that Tu Zhizhuo was in trouble.
"Not bad." Tu Zhizhuo relaxed and lay back lazily. "Then what made our beloved policewoman so worried?"
Tu Zhizhuo asked casually, but Lei Yinyin had to choose her words carefully before answering her.
After a long while without receiving a response, Tu Zhizhuo, a perceptive man, guessed the answer immediately: "Is it related to me?"
Lei Yinyin nodded awkwardly: "There are two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Bad news."
"The bad news is, you can't go out for the next half month. You have to stay here under our surveillance for the next half month."
"...And the good news?"
"The good news is, we will protect you for the next half month and will never let something like today happen again!"
Tu Zhizhuo pulled out a pillow and threw it at Lei Yinyin's obediently smiling face.
“Isn’t this the same thing?”
Lei Yinyin caught the pillow, a look of apology on her face: "From the current situation, your condition seems to be more serious than Su Huaiwang's."
Tu Zhizhuo rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"I just returned to the crime scene and wanted to clean it up, but I found that it had already been cleaned up."
"Your colleague?"
"No, it's a ghost."
That was the first time Lei Yinyin uttered that term.
The solemn words made the word seem cold and eerie.
Tu Zhizhuo raised an eyebrow: "So what? Wasn't the one who attacked me also a ghost?"
Lei Yinyin shook his head: "No, the level is different. The ghost that attacked you was not very rational, and the ghost that was able to clean up the scene in such a short time... at least reached the level of a powerful ghost."
She did not use the organization's internal counting method of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to avoid confusing Tu Zhizhuo.
"Do you mean that some dirty guy is targeting me?" Tu Zhizhuo was very smart and quickly understood the implication of Lei Yinyin's words.
Her face didn't look very good at this time.
"Or—something very strong and dirty?"
Lei Yinyin lowered her eyes, thinking about something: "We are not sure either."
After all, if the big ghost had set its sights on Tu Zhizhuo and wanted to eat her, or something else, there was no need for the other party to send her into the mouth of the little ghost, nor was there any need to help clean up the scene.
And... undoubtedly, from any perspective, Tu Zhizhuo should be a worthless target. Why did the ghost follow her?
It can be said that the series of things the other party did were illogical in their eyes.
"Um?"
A wisp of black smoke drifted by, and when Lei Yinyin was observing it carefully, it disappeared.
She had an idea in mind, calmed down, moved closer to Lei Yinyin, and asked her:
"If it's convenient, please tell us where you have been recently."
"Okay." Tu Zhizhuo said readily, "Because I haven't been anywhere these days. I just stayed at Su Huaiwang's house. So, do you need to go to her house again to check?"
To be honest, she began to doubt the efficiency of this department.
If Lei Yinyin hadn't shown off her skills in front of her, she would definitely not cooperate now.
"Su Huaiwang's home?" Lei Yinyin frowned when he heard it, and then his expression changed drastically.
It happened so quickly that before Tu Zhizhuo could figure out what was happening, Lei Yinyin grabbed her collar.
Lei Yinyin bent down, put his head close to her, and kept sniffing her neck with the tip of his nose.
"Hey! What are you doing--" Tu Zhizhuo's first reaction was to push her away, but he relaxed when he was about to do so.
After all, he is her savior.
"It seems to have some smell, but not much..." Lei Yinyin frowned and muttered to himself.
Even a lifesaver can’t do such a thing!
Before Tu Zhizhuo could get angry, the woman's sharp canine teeth had already carved into the skin of her neck.
An electric shock-like illusion flashed through her blood and flowed through her limbs and bones at an extremely fast speed.
Before Tu Zhizhuo could even scream in pain, Lei Yinyin let her go.
He took the Band-Aid, tore open the packaging, and put it on her still bleeding wound.
Lei Yinyin performed a series of actions smoothly.
Finally, a word of "sorry" ended it.
Tu Zhizhuo punched the cotton and could only look at her with a fake smile: "Can you explain what you were doing just now?"
Lei Yinyin wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his lips and said, "Tracking."
"Are you really not afraid that I might have some disease? What if I have AIDS?"
Lei Yinyin froze for a moment while wiping the blood: "You didn't."
"Can I report a leak?"
Lei Yinyin turned to her, his face expressionless.
Just when Tu Zhizhuo began to feel uneasy, she suddenly smiled and said in a pinched voice:
"Sure, dear, please call the following number..."
Tu Zhizhuo didn't expect the other party to do this, and quickly gestured to stop:
"Stop, stop, stop! Just stop it! It's disgusting!"
Lei Yinyin finally gave up that weird expression, with a hint of pride in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"So what did you just discover?"
Her blood cannot be shed in vain.
When talking about business, Lei Yinyin's expression finally became more serious:
"You have the scent of a ghost on you. That ghost has had deep contact with you recently."
Tu Zhizhuo was shocked: "But I don't have a girlfriend and I've never had sex! Su Huaiwang and I really have a pure, normal, and harmonious relationship as best friends!"
Lei Yinyin was speechless: "...It doesn't necessarily mean sexual contact."
Tu Zhizhuo finally felt relieved: "But I really haven't been anywhere recently?"
I only go home and work, and I also went to Su Huaiwang's house by the way. Where could I have met this dirty thing?
"Don't worry about that. We will investigate."
Lei Yinyin took the glass of water, tilted his head back and drank it, clearing away the bloody taste in his mouth:
"That ghost doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards you. Its aura remained on you unintentionally. It is slowly being withdrawn. When it is completely withdrawn, you can leave."
"What's the principle behind this?" Tu Zhizhuo was curious.
"Powerful ghosts are like a tonic to weak ghosts. They can't afford to provoke the big ghosts themselves, but they will covet creatures that have been contaminated by the big ghosts' aura."
"So you let me stay here for fifteen days to get rid of the ghost smell on me?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Before, I thought you only had the scent of the ghost from tonight. Fifteen days, plus our investigation, that's about it. Now... it's not certain. If the big ghost doesn't take its own breath back, you might have to go for a year or two. Now that it's taking its own breath back, you might be able to leave in a day or two. But I suggest you stay here for a few more days for observation, just to be safe."
Hearing Lei Yinyin say this, Tu Zhizhuo couldn't help but say, "It sounds like that ghost is pretty good."
Lei Yinyin paused while drinking water.
She turned her head and looked at Tu Zhizhuo meaningfully, "Powerful ghosts are just like humans. They have reason and emotions. And it just so happens that the one who left her scent on you... is a ghost who has never harmed anyone. In that respect, she is indeed a 'good ghost.'"
A ghost that has never hurt any innocent person, and a... resentful ghost.
Lei Yinyin clenched the teacup and her heart beat faster.
Su Huaiwang's home, the breath of the resentful ghost followed closely to deal with the scene, and took the initiative to retract the breath.
The answer is obvious.
