Chapter 028 Chapter 28

As soon as Ding Ling entered the room, she began distributing things one by one from the canvas bag she carried with her.

"What is it?" Gu Jiasui took the small wooden box in his hand puzzled.

When I opened it, I saw a silver bell wrapped in red cloth inside.

The carving of the bell is extremely exquisite, and it can be seen that it is not a modern style, but seems to be handmade in ancient style.

"A little bell." said Ding Ling.

It seems to have become a habit for people in dormitory 320 to bring things to each other, and Chu Bingbing and Yi Zhi both took them skillfully.

Chu Bingbing exclaimed "Wow" when she looked at the two strings of silver bells inside.

"Xiao Lingdang, you want us to wear you on our bodies every day."

Ding-ling, ding-ling, it's just a little bell.

"It also has the zodiac engraved on it." Yi Zhi was quick-witted and saw the word "Zhi" engraved on the bell and his own zodiac sign on the other side.

"This must be specially customized." Chu Bingbing shook the bell in her hand, and strings of silver bells rang in the dormitory, crisp and pleasant.

Silver is not expensive, but everyone’s bell is different. You can see the care put into it, engraving the name and zodiac sign on it, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Yi Zhi thought at this moment, if everyone was given a circle of things, it would seem that she would have to prepare another batch of fruits in a few days.

After all, compared to the Five Emperors' Money that A Yan gave to everyone, and the things that Gu Jiasui gave, Chu Bingbing's cosmetics were gone after she ate the last batch of fruits, so they were completely consumables.

A Yan also received the little bell from Ding Ling, but at the same time, she saw with her own eyes that Ding Ling lifted her bed curtain at a speed that was almost invisible and stuffed something into her bed, and then blinked at her.

Ah Yan:......

What did Ding Ling do? What did he secretly give to me?

Ayan blew her hair dry and made sure her scalp was dry and refreshed. She then slowly applied essential oil to the ends of her hair. It smelled so good!

The small bells that Ding Ling prepared for her roommates were something she had someone in the special case team make on an urgent basis in the past few days.

Although Ah Yan gave small amounts of money to his roommates, Ding Ling couldn't just do nothing.

The silver bell is not expensive, and we hired professionals from the special case team to take care of it. I can't say how useful it is, but it does have the basic effect of warming the body and ensuring safety.

After blowing her hair, A Yan went to bed and slowly touched the thing that Ding Ling had stuffed into her through the bed curtains.

It is also a wooden box, exquisitely made, and you can tell at first glance that it is made of very good wood. The inside is wrapped with several layers of golden brocade.

It is also a bell, but it is not an ordinary bell pendant. Instead, it is the kind of bell that you hold in your hand and shake.

This looks like... a Taoist ritual implement?

A Yan did not recognize the runes and special characters above.

Where did Ding Ling get it from? Judging from the packaging box, it should be from a legitimate channel. Is this a gift for herself? It must be much more expensive than her Five Emperors Coins!

Ah Yan held the box and felt his hands were burning, very hot.

After thinking about it, A Yan took out his cell phone.

【Ayan】：?

【Ayan】: This is too expensive.

Ding Ling was still at the table. When she saw A Yan's message, she couldn't help but shook her head slightly.

Expensive?

She exchanged the great contributions she had made in the special case team for this tranquility bell, because after she was dug out by the archaeological team, she donated all her burial objects to the country, which was equivalent to a lot of merit.

This tranquility bell is considered a rare magic weapon in the treasure house of the special case team. However, treasures also depend on who uses them. If it is left there without anyone using it, it will become a useless object.

Now she took it out and gave it to Ayan, the precious horse was matched with a good master.

When Ah Yan said it was valuable, he was obviously not referring to its market value, but he had already seen the true meaning of this tranquility bell.

Qingningling is not its original name, but the name it was given after it was taken over by the Special Case Bureau and underwent nearly a hundred years of suppression and transformation.

Ding Ling believes that this thing can only show its true value in A Yan's hands.

[Ding Ling]: Don't worry, it's not worth much. I dug it out from the warehouse and never used it.

【Ding Ling】: Please accept it.

Looking at Ding Ling's reply, Ah Yan bit his lip. It was obvious that there was no way back down from this situation.

It's so difficult, it's so difficult for her.

And now that Ding Ling has recognized her special identity, she has no way to ask how to use this thing correctly.

【Ah Yan】: Okay, I'll put this thing here for now. You can take it back whenever you need it.

Just think of it as Ding Ling depositing it with her. She will have to return it sooner or later.

Ah Yan had no way of taking down such a big box from the bed, so she simply put it in the corner of the bed. The bed was 1.8 meters long, and she couldn't even reach it with her feet even when she curled up in the quilt.

The reason why he didn't put it next to his pillow was that Ayan was a little afraid that he would dream about something strange at night.

This big copper bell is quite heavy. Ah Yan plans to bring it to Jue Jue tomorrow so that they can study it together and then decide whether to go to the bank to open a safe deposit box to store it.

Ah Yan always felt that this thing should be a cultural relic, and since Ding Ling got it from some unknown channel, it was not easy to take it out for appraisal.

Everything that happened on campus today was related to Jue Jue's roommate. Ah Yan lay comfortably on the bed, waiting for a few more days before the holiday. She felt that when the time came, she would go out with the extreme team and would never meet the famous people from these two dormitories again.

When Ah Yan thought of this, he almost laughed out loud under the quilt.

On the other side, the boys' dormitory 414.

Yuan Ye, who had taken back the special BUFF first and had a set of blood-stained wedding dress equipment after the system had recovered it, returned to the dormitory earlier than Zhu Jue.

Yuanye looked normal, as usual. Only Xiao Qingnang and Chu Shen were in the dormitory; the others had not returned.

Yuanye first heaved a long sigh of relief, then he glanced at Xiao Qingnang who was reading a medical textbook and twitched his lips.

King of papers, this guy really deserves to be a medical student, he is still reading textbooks late at night.

He came to Chu Shen and patted his buddy on the shoulder.

Yuan Ye twitched his lips when he saw the number of group messages in red on Chu Shen's phone, "So many unread messages, aren't you upset, Brother Shen?"

Although he doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is really uncomfortable for him to look at these red dots without clicking them off!

Chu Shen didn't care, "Don't worry about it."

“It’s the group from the restaurant.”

It was a weekday and people had to go to school, so the Chu's Restaurant naturally put up a closed sign. As a result, this group of regular customers had been leaving countless messages in the group from last night until now. Chu Shen was convinced, as he had only been in school for one day!

"Boss Chu, are you really not considering taking a leave of absence?"

"Master Chu, you still need to go to school to learn cooking? This is simply a waste of talent!"

"Calm down, everyone calm down. You have to go to school. After all, this is Binhai University. Chef Chu majored in food. I believe that you will be able to create better dishes in the process of learning."

He didn't add diners on WeChat, but these people ended up creating many Chu's Restaurant message groups, privately informing each other of news and forming cliques. He was too lazy to get involved in this nonsense.

Not going to school to open a shop? Impossible.

"Brother Shen, your egg fried rice is really like this!" Yuanye raised a thumbs up.

Hearing this, even Xiao Qingnang, who was reviewing his lessons on the other side, turned his head and said, "Indeed."

Chu Shen touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. Although he was used to hearing such flattery, he would still feel awkward if someone close to him flattered him.

"That's right, Zhu Jue's roommate, the star, has added you, which shows that your egg fried rice is really that attractive!"

Yuanye was not stingy with his flattery. After all, they had eaten two meals for free today, one was the fried rice brought by Chu Shen, and the other was dinner.

Ye Ping'an pushed the door open at this moment. Chu Shen saw him and quickly said, "Ye Zi, is the live broadcast over?" "It's over." Ye Ping'an waved his hand. He also bought a few cans of beer from the supermarket. During dinner, because there were ladies present, he was embarrassed to suggest drinking. The guest should follow the host's wishes.

I have nothing to do at night now. The night is long and it would be nice to drink a cold beer.

"Oh, this room temperature beer is for Mr. Xiao." Ye Ping'an jokingly took out the only room temperature beer.

Xiao Qingnang's speech style is ancient, like someone from a martial arts novel or a classical novel about a possessed demon. However, according to their understanding, he seems to come from a family of ancient doctors, so they're probably used to him calling him "senior brother".

In addition, he usually soaks this and that in his thermos, takes everyone's pulse and gives advice, goes to bed early and gets up early, and practices the Five Animal Exercises, and never touches ice. He is nicknamed "Uncle Xiao" by several roommates in the boys' dormitory, and he behaves like a completely retired old man.

Xiao Qingnang didn't care about this because he was much older than these young people.

"Thank you very much."

He took the room-temperature beer from Ye Ping'an and wiped the area around the can with a wet towel.

As Zhu Jue walked in, he took the cold beer from his roommates. At this moment, he felt Yuan Ye's gaze on him, and he took the can and toasted with his roommates as if nothing had happened.

"Leave it for Brother Fan. He'll come back later and see that we can't drink well on our own."

Ye Pingan patted the table and said, "Don't worry, just leave one bite for him."

Compared to Xiao Qingnang, Lin Fan didn't look that weird, but he didn't drink in the dormitory. Basically, he just took a small sip from a cup every time.

Today they found out by accident that Lin Fan was transferred from the army. The rules in the army are strict, so it is understandable that he is so cautious and does not touch alcohol.

Ye Ping'an was also somewhat fortunate. In their dormitory, everyone would open a can of alcohol as a token of their appreciation, no one smoked, and most importantly, they were all able to take care of themselves and were very clean. They almost always changed their clothes a day and washed them on the same day. Compared to the smell of smoke coming from other dormitories every time he passed by the corridor, the messy dormitories and the strange smell, and no one liked to brag or talk about current affairs, they were simply too lucky.

"Although Brother Fan is not here, let's celebrate the fact that Brother Fan did not receive punishment today, that we got to eat Brother Shen's fried rice, and that we got to meet the families of our two roommates." Five cans of beer were clinked, and the dormitory was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Ye Ping'an felt very refreshed after drinking a can of ice beer. Today's live broadcast has ended and the work task has been completed. How cool!

Although he was very happy to secretly peek at the bullet screen in the Star Interstellar live broadcast room, it was because these Star Interstellar viewers were all "country bumpkins".

Because of the loss of past history, anything in Ye Ping'an's live broadcast room can arouse their intense discussion. They are very curious about, admire and praise everything.

He was trying hard to keep his face straight and not laugh out loud.

How can I put it? Looking at these future spectators making all kinds of guesses about the things on the blue planet, bragging all the way about the pinnacle of civilization and the wisdom of the ancients, the corners of his mouth were twisted.

If he hadn't been trying to observe more future information from these barrages, he would have closed them long ago.

But today's harvest was not bad, and I got more information.

He quietly wrote down the information he had obtained. Ye Ping'an did not dare to use electronic records, but instead used a separate notebook to sort out the various information.

At this moment, he is organizing his live broadcast notes.

...

Yuan Ye observed Zhu Jue silently, seeing that there was no trace of abnormality on his face, and that he himself was the same as usual.

This meant that at least he didn't recognize him, and Yuanye felt slightly relieved.

But he thought again, if it were him, and he was walking on the campus with his partner and suddenly two female ghosts appeared, especially when he was dressed up in a blood-stained wedding dress and ran into the woods and disappeared, would he be able to remain so calm?

The answer is obviously no.

If it were him, Yuanye would probably run away as fast as he could on the spot, all the way to a crowded place, and when he returned to the dormitory, he would not be able to help but share this matter with his roommates for analysis, or post it online to ask people.

But Zhu Jue seemed to be fine, as if nothing had happened.

Could it be that he is blind and doesn't see anything?

He actually ran past the young couple, holding up the hem of his skirt and running into the woods!

The game interface was displayed on Yuanye's computer, but at the moment he really had no intention of entering the game.

What worried him most was the cheongsam-clad female ghost, who suddenly stopped chasing him and respectfully said "Sir" in their direction.

The title "Adult" is a title that dates back to the feudal era a hundred years ago, let alone modern times.

Now Yuanye has only heard of people being called "Adult" in ancient TV dramas.

That female ghost seemed to be from the Republic of China era a hundred years ago. Who were Zhu Jue and his girlfriend A Yan, who could be addressed as “sir” by a female ghost?

Or in other words, are they both human?

There is a big premise here. Yuanye speculates that there are two possibilities for being able to be called "adult" by a female ghost.

First, they are of the same kind.

In other words, assuming that Zhu Jue and A Yan are also "ghosts", and are ghosts of a higher level than the female ghost, they can make the other little ghosts retreat on their own initiative when they appear.

Just like in ancient times, when a princess or emperor appeared, common people and merchants had to give way to them.

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Yuanye's eyes.

At that time, he was blessed with a BUFF by the dressing system because of the blood wedding dress.

, he who has transformed into a female ghost seems to be more powerful than the cheongsam female ghost.

If it were a normal traditional horror movie, he would definitely be considered a fierce villain!

He didn't know why the cheongsam female ghost was chasing him. Was it because he suddenly appeared and she thought he was an enemy, or was that place the female ghost's territory?

After thinking about it, Yuanye switched pages to look up the specific information of "Mingzhi Hall of Bincheng University". When he saw the historical records and rumors from a hundred years ago to the present in the browser, Yuanye couldn't help but curse the stupid system in his heart for almost misleading him.

Damn, that cheongsam ghost girl really lived for a hundred years! A hundred-year-old senior sister!

This shitty system actually let me run to the girls' dormitory where many senior schoolmates died. I'm still dressed up as a female ghost in red, looking so domineering. I'm afraid I'm being mistaken for a turf robber.

Yuanye's hands were shaking a little as he held the keyboard. He only met an old senior sister at the door of Mingzhi Hall. Fortunately, the shit system didn't let him in, otherwise he didn't know whether he could get out.

"Get out of here, you idiot system. Is this world so mysterious? Can you tell me in advance about this kind of weird dress-up mission next time? I @@#￥￥" He cursed in his heart.

If he hadn't just stood at the door and didn't go in, and if he had met Zhu Jue and Ayan and the others on the way, would he really be in trouble?

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Jue and A Yan’s identities become even stranger.

The century-old female ghosts on campus all left when they saw them. Was it because they were seeing the same kind of ghosts? Or was it because they were seeing someone special?

All night long, until he went to bed, Yuanye couldn't help thinking about this problem.

No matter what, Zhu Jue and A Yan don't seem to be that simple.

Since they can be called "Sir" by century-old ghosts, they may not be human or ghost.

Thinking of this, Yuanye suddenly felt a little cold.

No, no, it shouldn’t be a ghost.

Yuanye suddenly remembered that Xiao Qingnang had taken the pulse of everyone in the dormitory, and there was definitely no such thing as pulse for ghosts.

So if we rule out ghosts, then could they be special people who supervise ghosts? Xia Guolong's group?

So the cheongsam female ghost looked at them, called out "Sir" and then disappeared respectfully. Was it because she was afraid of them and didn't even bother to chase them?

Reasonable, very reasonable!

If Zhu Jue and A Yan are special people who can get rid of ghosts, such as Maoshan Taoist priests, this can be fully explained!

Yuanye didn't know much about this aspect. The relevant knowledge he had came from novels or horror movies like "Mr. Zombie".

Oh, that copper coin!

Yuanye suddenly thought of another strong evidence.

During dinner today, Zhu Jue's girlfriend A Yan took her cell phone out of her bag. He then caught a glimpse of a string of ancient copper coins tied together in her bag, several of which were strung together.

At that time Yuanye didn't take it seriously, just thinking of it as a small ornament or something.

At this moment, Yuanye carefully recalled the appearance of the copper coin in his mind, and then searched it in the mobile browser.

"What are a few copper coins strung together?"

Sure enough, the browser directly gave him what he wanted to see.

"Five Emperors' Coins to Drive Away Evil Spirits and Ensure Peace"

Yuanye clenched his fist suddenly on the bed at this moment. This is the thing.

He looked carefully at some descriptions, which said that this thing seemed to be something that had been circulated for many years and that almost everyone in the industry had it.

Yuanye exhaled a breath and was sure that the two of them were probably people related to metaphysics. They were probably Taoists? Or folks? Anyway, they were definitely not from the Buddhist sect.

He didn't know much about this subject, but he knew from the random talks he had read in the past that different regions had different schools, including the shamans of immortals in the north, the witches and shamans in the south, and the Taoists of Mount Mao and Mount Lao.

Zhu Jue and A Yan both came from Ningcheng, the capital of Xia State, so he had no idea what their background was.

But if that were the case, then it wouldn't make sense for them to pretend not to see anything when they saw me.

Yuanye just felt that his mind was becoming more and more confused. If they were Taoist priests, why did they let him run away after seeing him transformed into a female ghost?

When the cheongsam female ghost saw them, she ran away like a mouse seeing a cat. Although she ran away, they didn't seem to move at all at that time.

Were they not afraid at the time, waiting for me to fall into the trap? Or did they have other purposes?

He ran into the woods and disappeared. Did they stay to investigate?

When he restored the two men's identities, things became even more inexplicable.

He sighed several times in his heart, and even couldn't help but seek reference answers from the mentally retarded system.

"Stupid system, are you sure that the BUFF you gave me at that time was for turning into a ghost? If my roommates are Taoist priests, why didn't they react to me?"

"Please call me Xiaozhi. The costume change buff is automatically obtained after the host wins the PK. The system confirms that it is the red-clothed fierce ghost buff."

The BUFF obtained by changing clothes does not last long, he can pause the BUFF usage time and save it for later use.

But now, Yuanye doesn't want to activate the BUFF of this female ghost anymore. It is useless and it is easy to attract ghosts.

He asked the mentally retarded system but there was no answer, only the official answer. He forced himself not to think about it, because if he continued to think about it, he would not be able to sleep tonight.

Perhaps what you think about during the day you dream about at night.

That night Yuanye kept dreaming that he transformed into a female ghost in red, with the female ghost in cheongsam chasing him non-stop.

In his dream he was exhausted and running around everywhere, and when he woke up he still felt very tired.

The most important thing is that there was a most crucial point in the dream, but he couldn't remember it when he woke up.

Yuanye got out of bed, rubbing his temples, and went to the bathroom to wash up. He passed by Zhu Jue. They looked at each other and he woke up with a start.

I remembered that in the dream, he was running and the female ghost was chasing him, while Zhu Jue and his girlfriend were watching them silently from a high place.

Yuanye washed his face and woke up. This was simply a nightmare. It was too pervasive.

He only had one class in the morning. Yuanye was still uneasy about what happened last night. He wanted to go to that road again. It was broad daylight and the yang energy was strong, so ghosts shouldn't appear. He was also a normal student passing by, so he thought there should be no problem.

On Tuesday noon, Ayan and Juejue met up smoothly. She was carrying a backpack today, and inside the backpack was a large wooden box filled with copper bells.

In order to find a place away from the crowds, Ayan and Juejue decided to go to the road near Mingzhi Hall.

On a bench by the roadside, Ah Yan touched the bell carefully and felt like he was holding a magnifying glass in his hand. The two of them studied it for a long time.

"It seems to be the writing of a minority ethnic group. It feels a bit like the southwestern witch language that Grandpa Gu once studied."

"I also think that the note head at the end is not the most original. But we are ordinary people and we probably can't inspire anything." Ah Yan thought.

She carefully stood the bell up and shook it gently. The bell gave a pleasant sound that seemed to spread invisibly in the air and spread out.

Ayan and Juejue looked at each other for a few times. They waited for a long time and felt that everything was normal. The bronze bell sounded very nice, with an ancient rhythm.

"No problem, put it away. After thinking about it, it seems safer to keep it in the dormitory." The two of them rewrapped the bronze bell as if it were their ancestor and put it back into the wooden box.

At the same time, Yuan Ye, who had just walked onto the path and had not yet had time to turn into it, suddenly froze.

His ears were lingering with a long ring tone that came from the sky. At that moment, he seemed to be no longer himself, as if he was being controlled.

When he came to his senses again, he felt as if his whole body had been baptized, quiet and peaceful.

"What's going on?" Yuanye murmured.

Just as he was about to turn into the same road he had taken last night, he saw two familiar figures slowly walking out, and Yuanye's pupils suddenly shrank.

They are Zhu Jue and A Yan.

There were only two of them on the whole road.

In other words, they were the ones who made the strange ringing sound just now.

Yuanye retreated quickly and walked back quickly.

He immediately started thinking, Zhu Jue and A Yan suddenly came to this place again in the middle of the day, obviously they had other purposes.

Especially the backpacks that both of them carried today, which looked like they were filled with a lot of things.

Could it be that he came here specifically to exorcise ghosts? Or did he run too fast last night and they didn't bring any equipment, so he came here again today to lure the snake out of its hole?

Yuanye tightened his hands in his trouser pockets consciously. Are Zhu Jue and A Yan really special people like Taoist priests?

The BUFF of this fierce ghost in red must never be used again!

These two guys are really hiding too deeply!
