Chapter 913 Peripheral Members
In addition, Jiang Xia thought that in addition to fighting wits and courage with the strange jellyfish, he also had to deal with things outside.
——Although Gin did as he said and withdrew the helpers sent into the banquet hall.
But today, besides Gin, there is also Vermouth nearby.
Jiang Xia recalled the reasons he had given for "asking the helpers to retreat", and then found that it seemed that none of them could stop this Thousand-Faced Witch from sneaking into the banquet hall.
——She had a lot of experience in stalking. As a celebrity, she had attended countless banquets, so her behavior would not be unnatural in such occasions. As for the "repeated" unfamiliar faces, it was not difficult for this person who was good at disguise...
In short, in the eyes of the helpers, Vermouth will not arouse Sindra's vigilance, nor will it cause trouble for Uzo.
If Vermouth had followed instructions and stayed quietly outside, it would have been easy to deal with.
But Jiang Xia thought, if he was busy looking for ghosts and the connection with the black-clad helpers was temporarily cut off, Vermouth would come in to look for him in disguise. Then he would not find him, but would meet Huihara Ai by chance...
If I remember correctly, Vermouth has wanted to kill Shirley for a long time.
Jiang Xia: “…” Don’t let your elder sister be lost again just when your elder sister is found.
He didn't want to carry around a wilted ghost that had cried itself dehydrated.
…
In the banquet hall.
Although Huiyuan Ai was somewhat curious about the "holographic game that allows you to experience history", she was only curious.
Knowing that she couldn't experience it without the badge, she stopped worrying about it and quickly focused her attention on the buffet provided by the banquet - no one was home tonight, and the neighbors had all come to the banquet. She was too lazy to cook by herself, and she hadn't eaten yet.
He was holding the tray and picking up the chopsticks, ready to pick up a lobster.
At this moment, someone suddenly put his arm around her shoulders from behind.
Haibara Ai was startled and turned around quickly.
Seeing the person behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong?"
"I'm not feeling well. Please accompany me to the lounge next door for a while." Jiang Xia is very skilled at asking for sick leave and he always comes up with this excuse easily.
Time was running out, and he didn't give Huibara Ai time to hesitate. He reached out and took the plate and chopsticks from the fake child's hands, wiped off their fingerprints, and handed them to a waiter passing by.
Huibara Ai vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She followed Jiang Xia and walked quickly towards the lounge, while nervously looking around.
——She knew that Jiang Xia had connections with the organization and sometimes participated in some missions.
In the past, Jiang Xia had reminded her many times that "there are members of the organization around."
And this time, although Jiang Xia didn't say it explicitly, the reason why he suddenly called her away might be the same.
…
Sure enough, the two of them walked into the corridor.
Huiyuan Ai heard Jiang Xia ask: "You brought the doctor's quick-acting hair dye, right? Dye it first."
——Ever since Haibara Ai exposed her whereabouts to Gin because of her special wine-red hair, she blamed herself and tried many ways to remedy the situation.
This also includes changing your hairstyle and hair color.
But often when I wake up, my hairstyle remains the same as it was when I woke up, and there is no effect at all.
…
Fortunately, the magical Dr. Agasa developed a quick-acting hair dye that can change hair color in a short time, and the effect is better when used in combination with a hood.
When Haibara Ai heard Jiang Xia mention hair dye, she became even more nervous and even felt that she smelled the terrible scent of Gin.
Fortunately, this corridor was relatively closed, and there were no suspicious people on either side. Jiang Xia was also blocking the way, which made Huiyuan Ai calm down a little.
"I have it." She hurriedly rummaged through her pockets, found a small spray bottle, and sprayed it on her hair.
Jiang Xia seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. While she was busy disguising herself, he whispered, "Don't be nervous. Unless something unexpected happens, no one will come in. They just happen to be nearby."
"Yeah." While carefully fiddling with her hair, Haibara Ai followed Jiang Xia into the most remote rest room.
…
As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Xia locked the door with a click.
Then he walked to the window and locked it.
Haibara Ai had finished dyeing her hair at this time. She walked over to Jiang Xia and helped him close the curtains.
Jiang Xia: “…” Really self-aware.
He felt his pocket, took out something, and handed it to Huibara Ai.
Haibara Ai took it in confusion, and after a closer look, she found that there were five packs of unopened cigarettes.
She held the exquisitely packaged small boxes, a little confused: "......?"
Why do you carry so many cigarettes with you?
Is Jiangxia such a heavy smoker?
Not really...
…
"Come here."
Jiang Xia walked to the bedroom door.
This lounge is a suite.
In addition to the living room where they are now, there is also a small bedroom inside.
After Haibara Ai approached, Jiang Xia put the ashtray next to her.
Then he took out an opened pack of cigarettes, knocked out a cigarette and lit it.
He placed the lit cigarette on the ashtray.
The rest is still handed over to Huiyuan Ai:
"Wait outside the bedroom door later. If your cigarette goes out, light another one. Keep smoking. Don't stop... But don't light too many. Be economical. I'll go in and sleep for a while.
"——By the way, if there is a sudden power outage or any other abnormality, remember to stay where you are and don't move."
…
According to Jiang Xia's estimation, if everything went well, he would be able to get his ghost out without any murderous intent.
However, thinking of those vaguely sensed "jellyfish skin fragments"...
He thought that to be on the safe side, it would be better to leave an artificial murderous aura supply machine outside.
Haibara Ai should be able to do such a simple job - after all, she is the only sister of the murdered ghost, and her IQ is online.
Moreover, judging from the situation just now, it would be safer to leave a real person to light the ghost mint than to leave a ghost puppet.
——If the ghost left alone is snatched away again, not only will one ghost be missing, but there is also the possibility that a cigarette butt will fall on the carpet and cause a fire.
In addition, the murderous aura that entered the printed space was tainted with the breath of the psychic.
Unless the psychic consciously uses it to feed the wild ghosts outside, otherwise, the murderous mist after being ignited can only be absorbed by the psychic and the ghosts he has signed.
Will not suddenly attack the enemy indiscriminately.
And without the bonus of murderous aura, it is difficult for the soul to shake the real world - even a ghost with extraordinary talent like the mermaid, when it grabs a person with its claws with all its strength, it is at most like tickling.
The jellyfish skins just now couldn't even blow away his non-original soul. It was even more unrealistic to want to shake an original person like Haibara Ai...
Human helpers are indeed very useful. The anonymous peripheral members I picked up at random turned out to be useful for more than just "cooking"...
