Chapter 78 Sunshine Primary School (Twenty-Seven)
Xia Yingnuan didn't feel that Ning Hanqi was lying, but this period of time was enough for her to realize that if someone wanted to hide something from her, there was no need for lies at all.
If she tells half the story and keeps the other half, it will be difficult for her to detect what she is trying to hide, especially when it comes to her physical condition. Ning Hanqi can be said to be accustomed to reporting good news but not bad news. As long as she is asked about this matter, she can consciously raise the severity of the matter by three levels based on what Ning Hanqi said.
“…” No, the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.
Xia Yingnuan was so anxious that she wanted to go back to school immediately to catch the school doctor and question him. Unfortunately, even in the dungeon world, the police station seemed to still need to take a statement. The dean stayed in there for a long time, and it was already afternoon when he came out.
Finally, there was a chance to throw that bastard into jail, even if it was just for a day. The fear of the Public Security Bureau would torture this monster all night. The dean of studies felt much better, but as soon as he went out, he met Xia Yingnuan who was in a very bad mood.
"You shrew!" Master Xia screamed and hit Madam Xia on the head with his thick claws. The round thing broke into pieces like a watermelon, but the ghost had a strong recovery ability, and the broken "watermelon" gathered together again in a moment.
"Father, please don't create such a bloody scene. If you scare my son-in-law, I'll be furious." Xia Yingnuan covered her mouth and giggled. She looked like an ordinary daughter acting like a spoiled child with her parents, but this monster knew that his moody daughter was in a terrible mood.
"It's my fault, it's my fault..." The fat body looked a little ridiculous as it tried to bend over. "Dad will drag it away right away."
"Wait!" Xia Yingnuan suddenly called out to them.
Roshan paused dragging Madam Xia. The player, preening with an air of profoundness, nodded and left the ward, leaving it to the sisters.
The moment he walked in, Xia Yingnuan hid a little deeper, and at the same time hid the necklace with the cross pocket watch on Ning Hanqi's neck into her clothes, so the other party did not realize that Ning Hanqi was a player like him, and just thought she was a relative of the Shan family.
"Sister, where did you find this person? Is he really reliable?" Shan Yun asked her sister in a low voice. You know, her sister didn't believe in these things even more than herself before, so why did she change her mind so quickly?
The elder sister of the Shan family looked tired and didn't explain. She just patted her silly sister's head and said, "Don't worry about it. Have a good rest. Your brother and I will help you at the company during this time."
"Oh, I haven't asked who this person is yet..." The Shan sister looked at Ning Hanqi. "That player was already dead when she couldn't help but make a sound in front of the sedan chair. You couldn't have rushed in to save her then." Ning Hanqi patted Chang Chujing's shoulder, who lowered her head, and comforted her.
Chang Chujing nodded. She had gotten used to it over the past year and soon got rid of the shadow in her heart.
After struggling to get the entire wedding procession across to the other side, most of the players were exhausted. Seeing that there were still no ghosts tonight, they took turns to keep watch according to the plan they had arranged during the day.
Xia Yingnuan didn't trust them, so she monitored the movements of other players all night. Unfortunately, she didn't know if there was really nothing unusual, or if the real culprit hidden among them was able to remain calm, but those people didn't reveal any suspicious clues.
But it doesn’t matter. Xia Yingnuan is more patient. If someone is really hiding, then it’s best to hide until the end of the copy, otherwise he will stay here for the rest of his life!
There may be a "cancer" hidden among the players, disguised as someone else's, and the ghost gate is about to open, which can be said to be a double whammy.
However, it seems that the news about the Ghost Gate is not only known by the evil ghosts in hell, but even the old boatman on the periphery has sensed it through unknown means. Before the merchants came over, it squatted on its boat and smoked its pipe non-stop, and its usually sinister single eye revealed a hint of sadness.
Ning Hanqi noticed the old boatman's abnormal behavior this morning, and thought of the unusual movements in Huangquan last night. She guessed that there might be a connection between the two, so she came to it and tentatively asked if there was any trouble.
The old boatman knew that Ning Hanqi was hiding a powerful ghost, so he was polite to her. After exhaling a few puffs of cigarette smoke, he said in a hoarse voice, "Nothing."
"You better be careful these nights. Keep an eye on your boat and don't let others snatch your food. If you get stuck on the other side and can't get back, no one will be able to save you."
Although the old boatman didn't reveal any key information, Ning Hanqi felt that the NPC's expression of worry was likely due to the chaos that would be caused by the opening of the Ghost Gate.
If the Ghost King from the underworld really came out to cause trouble, an ordinary NPC would be in trouble. However, before Ning Hanqi could continue to test what the old boatman knew about the Ghost Gate, other players who caught important information in the old boatman's words appeared from somewhere and pushed her aside.
The one rushing in the front was Wu Rui, who had a conflict with the first "dead person" as soon as he arrived at the copy, followed by Zhu Si, another person suspected by Ning Hanqi.
However, they were too excited and their tone was not appropriate. As a result, they were not only scolded by the old boatman, but also failed to get any information out of him.
Even Chang Chujing felt that these two people were only causing trouble. Without waiting for them to regroup, she hurriedly asked, "Master, besides making sure the boat isn't stolen, what else can we do to ensure safety?"
The question she asked was quite appropriate. The old boatman glanced at her with his one eye, and Chang Chujing suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body.
It snorted coldly. This question was within its scope of need. "As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. If you're really entangled with something unclean, maybe you can give them a little more money and they'll let you go."
Chang Chujing thanked him quietly, then quietly moved behind Xia Yingnuan so that she could not be seen by the old boatman.
Money makes the world go round... This money definitely doesn't refer to copper coins. It seems that earning a little more paper money at night is also beneficial.
Kou Zishu's heart skipped a beat. The hint of paranoia in Ning Hanqi's tone made her heart palpitate. People like this were the hardest to let go of, and if one wasn't careful, they might go astray. She suddenly understood why Xia Yingnuan was worried.
"Ms. Ning, do you think your wife is such a person?" Kou Zishu racked his brains to ask a question that was the most sophisticated question he said today.
Kou Zishu believed that Xia Yingnuan would never think like this. If she, who had only met Xia Yingnuan a few times, could feel it, there was no reason why Ning Hanqi, her wife, would not understand it.
If Ning Hanqi were to ask herself, she would certainly understand what Nuannuan would choose.
Ultimately, it was her unwillingness.
"Unless she comes to tell me in person." Ning Hanqi suddenly slowed down his tone, "If she tells me in person, I will do whatever she says."
Kou Zishu's little heart almost had a heart attack. She carefully glanced at Ning Hanqi's face. The lonely look made people sad, so... she should not know?
"She, she said it herself... But I think if Miss Xia were here, she would definitely try every possible way to stop you from getting revenge for her and putting yourself in danger. So, Miss Ning..."
Before she finished speaking, Ning Hanqi suddenly stopped, and Kou Zishu also stopped and looked at her in confusion.
"you're right."
Kou Zishu could hear that Ning Hanqi's tone rose slightly, as if she had suddenly figured something out, and the dark clouds surrounding her seemed to dissipate a little.
"Thank you, Miss Kou."
The school doctor observed Xia Yingnuan's expression and confirmed that she really didn't know and was not testing him.
Then...what was that human's look like? What was she warning me about?
The school doctor felt like he was surrounded by tigers and wolves, with no way out.
But now, Xia Yingnuan is obviously more terrifying to it.
So it told Xia Yingnuan about its perception of Ning Hanqi: a soul of very high quality but extremely weak. Its instinct told it that by devouring the other's soul it would gain even greater power. Other ghosts should think so too.
The school doctor's strength was relatively weak, so he couldn't fully see through Ning Hanqi. He only knew that the other party's soul was relatively weak, but he didn't know that the weak soul had already been broken.
