Chapter 50
After dealing with all the ghosts in the north building in one go, Rong Jing's legs became so weak that he could not stand.
He looked at the flag still standing upright in front of him, and once again felt that it was worthy of being Si Liu's magic weapon during his lifetime. Just one use could drain all the strength from his body.
He didn't even have the energy to put on a silent note.
"Rong Jing?" The elevator door opened and Xue Cang strode over. He spotted the young man sitting against the wall and hurried over to ask, "How are you?"
"It's okay, I just need to take a break." Rong Jing covered his face with his hands, then said to Xue Cang, "Brother Xue, please check if there are any ghosts left in this building."
"Okay, I'll go check it out now. Call me anytime if you need anything."
"Um."
Xue Cang's figure disappeared in the elevator again, and Rong Jing rested for a while, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xie Changshi. It was an emoticon of a cat lying on the ground with its soft belly exposed, and it said: I am already a useless cat.
Xie Changshi received the message, glanced at the document he was reading, and made a phone call.
As soon as the call was connected, a deep voice rang in Rong Jing's ears. The man asked in a low voice, "Is it over?"
Rong Jing hummed and said, "That's about right. Senior Si gave me a magical weapon, and it almost sucked me dry."
Then I couldn't help complaining: "I really want to lie down on the ground, I'm so tired."
Xie Changshi was far away from him and couldn't replenish his energy in time. He looked down at the time displayed on his wristwatch. Although there was still some time before the end of the work day, leaving early was not a bad idea.
The man pushed the chair away and stood up, picking up the black suit jacket hanging on the chair and said softly, "I'll come pick you up."
The little zombie, who had been drooping and complaining of being tired, suddenly lit up with his eyes like stars. He got up from the ground and asked, "Really?"
"Um."
"Okay, okay." Rong Jing said happily, "Then I'll wait for you at the hotel."
"Okay, I'll come over now."
After hanging up the phone, Rong Jing also received Xue Cang's message, confirming that all the evil spirits in the entire north building had been absorbed by the flags. Only then did he put away the flags and took the elevator to the ground floor.
Si Liu was sitting with Yuan Siyu and Jin Hong. When he saw Rong Jing, he hooked his finger at her and said, "Good job, little zombie! You're more powerful than I thought. You got rid of all the evil spirits so quickly."
Rong Jing's body was still weak and he had no strength left. He was in no mood to be humble when he heard this. He simply handed the flag to him and said, "Senior, I'll give it back to you."
Unexpectedly, Si Liu said, "This is for you."
Rong Jing: “Ah?!”
Si Liu said calmly, "This banner was a gift from my master before he passed away. It's one of the most powerful magical instruments in my sect. If I were still alive, I would definitely be reluctant to give it to you. But now that I'm dead, I can't use it. It would be a waste to keep it with me."
"Should I burn it for you?" Rong Jing asked.
Si Liu laughed when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, try lighting a fire."
Si Liu's expression was profound as he spoke, and Rong Jing had a guess in mind. Curious, he pulled out a fire-starting talisman. The talisman transformed into a flame at his fingertips. The flame crackled in the air for a moment, then deepened in color and burned ever more fiercely. Miraculously, no matter how the flames touched the black-gold banner, it remained intact.
Si Liu propped up his chin and said lazily, "See? It won't burn. If it could, Feng Si would have burned it to me long ago."
"Originally I wanted to give this thing to Feng Si, but he didn't want it. It's just the same if I give it to you now."
Seeing this, Rong Jing stopped being polite to Si Liu.
It just so happened that he didn't have any particularly useful magical weapons.
As he was talking, Jin Hong received a call. After answering twice, he turned to Rong Jing and the other two and said, "The remaining students are here too."
Rong Jing and Xue Cang exchanged a glance, and the former said, "Don't bother. Just drive the car over and arrest them directly."
Jin Hong thought of his conversation with Si Liu and looked closely at the boy's face. His skin was already fair, and now under the sunlight, it was even whiter, almost transparent, and even his lip color was three points paler than usual.
He frowned and asked hesitantly, "Can your body still hold on?"
Rong Jing waved his hand: "It's not a big problem."
He was anxious to resolve the issue and meet with Xie Changshi, so he had to persevere even if he couldn't.
Having said that, Jin Hong did not hesitate any longer. He nodded in agreement and gave a few instructions to the person on the other end of the phone. After a while, two buses drove in from the door.
The students in the bus all had tense faces at this moment. The girls bit their lips, and the boys clenched their fists. They pulled aside the curtains and looked out the window, and soon met the eyes of Rong Jing, Xue Cang, and Jin Hong and Yuan Siyu who were in uniform.
Someone recognized Rong Jing and the uniforms of Jin Hong and the others. They swallowed hard and whispered, "It seems like we're really in trouble."
"But the psychic game is really effective," someone said unconvincedly, "I got first place in the grade on Friday's test."
Hearing his words, the other people in the car turned their heads to look over.
The speaker was a young boy, still wearing a high school uniform.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he said to himself, "I used to be ranked around 50th in my grade. I made a wish to be first in my grade, and I actually got first place."
"It's not easy for you to get into grade 50 with your IQ." Someone complained, "Is it possible that the problem is because the summoning game works?"
The young man choked and couldn't help but retort: "Then didn't you get fooled too?"
The man: "Yeah, but I've always been the worst since I was little. My brain isn't very good, so it's normal for me to be fooled."
juvenile:"……"
Inside the car, a murmur of conversation erupted. Outside, the black-gold banner fluttered once more without a breeze. Instantly, the sky and earth changed color, and shrill, ghostly cries echoed throughout the surroundings. Xue Cang, regaining consciousness, immediately cast a silent note. Wisps of thick black energy, like serpents, emerged from the bodies of various students, struggling to scurry around the car, as if trying to resist the black-gold banner's powerful suction.
But it was all in vain.
In a matter of seconds, all the evil spirits turned into a dark black light and were swept into the flags.
This unprepared scene caused the students in the car to stare wide-eyed, their throats seemingly blocked by something, unable to utter a single word. Yuan Siyu opened the car door, looked at the crowd with a gentle smile, but her words were direct: "Everyone, do you see this? This is the 'good stuff' you summoned through the spirit summoning ritual."
The high school student who had been praising the effectiveness of the psychic summoning ritual was now huddled in his seat like a quail.
He did not miss the scene just now. A very scary black shadow came out of his body, and the ferocious scream was so terrifying that it made him feel uncomfortable all over. He always felt as if there was something hidden in his body - a disgusting feeling.
Yuan Siyu's eyes swept across every face, and her tone softened a little: "But don't worry too much, your lives will not be in danger. However, I hope you can keep what happened just now a secret. We can sign a confidentiality agreement."
In fact, Rong Jing and the others also have talismans that can make these students forget what happened just now, but after thinking it over again and again, Jin Hong felt that they needed this "unforgettable" memory.
After all, only by learning lessons can you know what you can and cannot do.
Yuan Siyu added, "If you know anything about the spirit summoning game, remember to tell me. This concerns everyone's lives and we can't be careless."
After the words fell, everyone looked at each other and no one responded.
Seeing this, Yuan Siyu didn't say anything more and just said, "Call the police when you remember." Just as she was about to turn around and leave, someone bit his lip and raised his hand hesitantly.
Yuan Siyu paused and looked at him.
Her memory for faces was quite powerful. She scanned his features, as if she had thought of something. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Zhang Ze's cousin?"
The cousin didn't expect that Yuan Siyu still remembered him, and nodded quickly.
In fact, when the spirit summoning game broke out, Yuan Siyu and others contacted this cousin through Zhang Ze’s circle of friends, but the answer he gave at the time was that he did not know about the spirit summoning game. Zhang Ze called him because he wanted to discuss going home together during the holidays.
Now, he told the truth: "Actually, my brother called me to talk about summoning spirits."
Yuan Siyu waved at him and said, "Come back to the police station with me later."
Cousin Zhang Ze responded dryly and said "good".
…
All the students who were taken to the hotel signed a confidentiality agreement, and after repeated warnings from the police, they all promised never to play the psychic game again.
One of the little girls even wiped her tears and choked up and said, "I definitely won't touch it again. I still want to live for two more years."
Yuan Siyu patted her head and said, "Okay, it's good that you know this is wrong. Fortunately, you discovered it early this time, otherwise your family members would have to prepare coffins for you."
"Okay, I'll take you home."
The next work was arranged by the Yancheng Police Station. Xue Cang and Si Liu went back to their homes, and Rong Jing also got into Xie Changshi's car.
As soon as he got into the car, he snuggled into the man's arms like a familiar figure. Sniffing the cool scent on Xie Changshi's body, he mumbled, "I want a bite."
The baffle rose, and a stinging pain quickly shot up in Xie Changshi's shoulders and neck. He leaned back in the seat, holding the back of Rong Jing's head with one hand, listening to the sucking sound coming from his ear, and the trembling feeling that he had not felt for a long time surged through his body again.
Xie Changke deliberately diverted his attention and asked Rong Jing, "Is everything settled in Yancheng?"
Rong Jing didn't dare drink more. After taking two sips and feeling a little better, he licked the tooth mark with the tip of his tongue. Then he leaned against Xie Changshi and replied lazily, "Almost. But Captain Jin said they have to check every school again, just in case."
In their assumption, there must be some students who are hiding their information and will not report their situation truthfully.
This is understandable.
After resting for a while, he had the energy to tell Xie Changshi what happened in the hotel and continued, "Senior Si gave me a banner as a magic weapon. It's very powerful."
"Really?" Xie Changshi lowered his eyes and looked at him.
Rong Jing nodded vigorously: "It's just that it takes a bit of zombies to use it. It would be better if I were a little more powerful."
The man's slender, cold white fingers gently stroked his soft, short black hair, his tone still gentle: "You are already very good."
Rong Jing liked to hear Xie Changshi praising her, and she felt very happy.
It was still early, so Xie Changshi took Rong Jing out for a nice meal before returning to Yunjiang Bay. Rong Jing showered, changed clothes, and fell asleep on the bed. Xie Changshi opened the door, closed the window, and adjusted the air conditioning to a comfortable setting. His fingertips gently brushed against the boy's soft face.
Rong Jing was sleeping soundly, but he smelled a familiar scent. He quickly grabbed the culprit who was playing tricks on his face.
However, what surprised Xie Changshi a little was that Rong Jing didn't seem to have any intention of letting go.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and tentatively pulled his hand away. Rong Jing's hand followed suit, and then he rolled over and pressed the hand under his body, muttering, "Don't move."
Xie Changshi: “…”
Some postures may not be a problem for a small zombie like Rong Jing, but they are indeed a bit difficult for ordinary people like him.
Xie Changshi glanced at his arm and pulled it out again.
This slap really made Rong Jing angry.
His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he stared at Xie Changshi angrily: "Xie Changshi, you won't let me sleep!"
Xie Changshi: "Then let go."
Rong Jing: "If you don't let me sleep, I won't let go."
Xie Changshi: “…”
Xie Changshi felt that this was indeed his fault. If he hadn't touched Rong Jing's face, Rong Jing wouldn't have been so angry. But now, looking at the other person's beautiful eyes widened with anger, the man paused for a few seconds, and suddenly, in this position, he turned over and got on the bed.
This unexpected scene stunned Rong Jing. He raised his head in a daze and saw Xie Changshi say to him, "Move to the side."
Rong Jing: “?!”
He let go of Xie Changshi in an instant, and when he saw Xie Changshi approaching, he jumped up and moved to the other side of the bed without him saying anything, then pointed at Xie Changshi: "You——"
"Hmm?" Xie Changshi lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Aren't we going to sleep? Go to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned off the light. The room was plunged into darkness in an instant, covering Rong Jing's confused face.
Rong Jing didn't know how things had inexplicably developed to this point. He grabbed the quilt and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out. In the end, he only blurted out: "I think we are a little ambiguous."
Xie Changshi: "You were also quite affectionate when you snuggled into my arms in the car."
Rong Jing: “…” It seems that’s true.
Xie Changshi didn't hear the young man say anything, so he continued, "The governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps. This kind of thing is not suitable for a little zombie like you."
That makes sense.
But I always feel something is weird.
Rong Jing was still lost in thought, but Xie Changshi, who had gotten into bed, had no intention of getting out. Taking advantage of the darkness, he grabbed the boy's wrist and pulled him into his arms. The boy's body nestled in his embrace, and Xie Changshi held him with one hand, whispering, "Sleep."
The darkness amplified all the sensations caused by the contact between the two people.
Rong Jing was forced to lie on Xie Changshi's chest, his ears filled with the sound of his powerful heartbeat, each beat like a lullaby, bringing his entire body to a state of stillness. Combined with the cool, faint fragrance, Rong Jing couldn't help but yawn.
Although the movement was subtle, Xie Changshi heard it clearly.
"good evening."
A low voice came into his ears, and Rong Jing responded vaguely.
He was indeed extremely sleepy, but being suddenly held in Xie Changshi's arms like this made him feel a little uncomfortable and stiff. But when he thought about it carefully, he knew that he had snuggled in Xie Changshi's arms and sat on his lap to drink blood in the morning, and he didn't feel this strange feeling... He began to convince himself that it was just a nap with Xie Changshi in his arms, just like he had slept there before when he was a child.
As I thought about it, my head started to feel dizzy.
Within two minutes, Xie Changshi heard his steady breathing.
The little zombie fell asleep.
Xie Changshi couldn't help but smile silently, and then he closed his eyes.
When I woke up again, it was early morning the next day.
Rong Jing slept extremely soundly. There was always a sense of security enveloping his body in his dream. The slightly cold temperature of the air conditioner dissipated completely with the warmth coming from his body. He couldn't help but bury his face deeper.
But at some point, this enjoyment suddenly disappeared.
Rong Jing opened his eyes drowsily and first saw a magnified face.
Hmm... looks like Xie Changshi.
Wait, Xie Changshi?
Oh yeah, they slept together last night.
No, wait a minute! They slept together last night?
The boy was suddenly awakened and woke up suddenly. He saw Xie Changshi pulling his pajamas collar out.
Rong Jing: “…”
This makes the zombies unhappy.
Last night you shamelessly hugged him and wanted to sleep with him, but when you woke up you wanted to throw him away like garbage with disgust?
You wish!
Rong Jing, who was in a stubborn mood, stretched out her arms to hug his waist without hesitation, and even raised her legs to tightly wrap around his waist.
Then he raised his face and asked, "What are you doing? Do you dislike me?"
Xie Changshi didn't expect Rong Jing to do this suddenly.
He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I don't dislike you, but I'm not sure if you dislike me."
Rong Jing wondered why this person was still so stubborn and refused to admit it.
It was Xie Changshi who insisted on pulling him away. How could he still be disgusted when he was clinging to her so much?
etc.
He moved his legs on Xie Changshi uncertainly. When the bend of his legs was stained with scorching heat, the man's dull low moan suddenly reached his ears.
Rong Jing: “…”
After a moment of daze, his face seemed to turn red and he reacted instantly.
Then, like a little turtle, it began to move backwards little by little.
Just as he was gradually moving away from Xie Changshi and touching the edge of the bed, his ankle was grasped by Xie Changshi, and with just a little force, he re-covered the distance Rong Jing had painstakingly created. The two of them were close together again, but the man's expression changed. Instead, he asked with a half-smile, "Do you dislike it?"
Rong Jing thought to himself that even if he really disliked her, he couldn't say it.
and……
He didn't dislike it either.
He was just a little embarrassed.
His eyes turned around twice in panic and guilt. Before he could speak, he heard a deep sigh. Then Xie Changshi suddenly loosened his grip on his ankle, carefully distanced himself, and stood up. Meeting the boy's confused eyes, he said, "I'm sorry."
Then he turned and walked out the door.
Rong Jing was stunned for two seconds, and what kept flashing through his mind was the expression on his face when he lowered his eyes and said the word "sorry".
It seems a little aggrieved and a little sad.
Rong Jing paused, then quickly got out of bed and grabbed the edge of Xie Changshi's pajamas. The man turned around and met the boy's eyes. Rong Jing blinked and muttered softly, "I don't dislike you. Isn't it normal to have a reaction in the morning? Besides...it's not like I haven't seen it before."
"Is that so? I was wrong about you." Xie Changshi said with his eyes lowered.
Rong Jing nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I'm not that unreasonable little zombie."
Xie Changshi looked at him boasting, pursed his lips, and suppressed the smile that was rising in his heart.
Rong Jing probably doesn't know how cute he is.
Xie Changshi thought about it, and suddenly asked: "How did you sleep last night?"
Rong Jing felt that Xie Changshi's topic was a bit too wide, but thinking that he might be deliberately changing the subject, he nodded out of courtesy.
But...you can't say I'm giving you face.
After all, he did sleep pretty well.
"Is that so? Then why don't we sleep together tonight?"
Rong Jing, who was originally praising Xie Changshi in her heart for being very comfortable in his arms, suddenly raised her head and happened to meet the smile in the man's eyes.
A light flashed through his mind, and he immediately jumped on Xie Changshi's back angrily: "You're teasing me again!!"
Xie Changshi hugged him and raised his eyebrows: "So do you still want to sleep together tonight?"
Rong Jing had a blank expression on his face and refused three times in a row: "No, I don't agree, I don't want to."
Xie Changshi sighed again upon hearing this: "That's really sad."
Rong Jing: “…”
snort.
He ignored Xie Changshi and jumped off the man again. He checked the time. It was 3:30 a.m. But he was no longer sleepy, so he simply lay on the bed and played with his phone.
When I opened my phone, there were several WeChat messages on it.
Rong Jing was shocked, especially when she saw that the person who sent the message was Jin Hong, she couldn't help feeling annoyed.
He slept so soundly last night that he didn't even hear the prompt.
But after clicking in and reading the content, I felt relieved.
Jin Hongdao: Master Rong, we asked Zhang Ze’s cousin and exchanged information with the heads of other special departments, and basically confirmed a few things.
1. As you might have guessed, the spirit summoning ceremony performed by these students does require a specific item, namely the so-called "spirit" portrait.
2. Zhang Ze is only the source of several cities near Yancheng. News came from Kang Province that they found a person who was exposed to the spirit summoning game earlier than Zhang Ze. However, after he realized that he had really achieved his wish through the spirit summoning ceremony, he deliberately hid this secret and did not share it with others like Zhang Ze did.
3. Zhang Ze's cousin said he asked Zhang Ze where he learned about this game, and Zhang Ze told him that he found it on a forum. We have found the forum and are currently investigating.
After briefly explaining the current situation, Jin Hong said: You should have a good rest first. Mr. Xue is now following us on the case. If there is new information or unresolved difficulties later, we will ask you for help. Thank you very much for your hard work today.
No wonder Jin Hong sent him a WeChat message instead of calling him.
Seeing that it was still early, he did not reply, but put away his phone and walked out.
As a result, he had only taken two steps when he saw that the door of the master bedroom next door was opened a big crack, and the man was taking off his pajamas with his back to him, revealing his sexy cold white back, as if he was going to change clothes.
Rong Jing: “…”
He stood there staring at Xie Changshi's back for a long time, until the other person turned around, then he suddenly came to his senses.
Then, Xie Changshi asked, "Peeking?"
Rong Jing said confidently: "It was you who changed clothes without closing the door——"
Before he could finish his words, he heard the man raise his eyebrows and say, "How else can I seduce you?"
