Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Bai Qingqing, the life you used to live...
Zi Wenbin received two calls from Bai Qingqing tonight, and each piece of news he received was more shocking than the last.
Why did Bai Qingqing... just do important things one by one without saying a word?
Zi Wenbin contacted his colleagues at the Special Investigation Bureau in Baotong County overnight, and they sent back news that the seal was fine and there should be no problem with the evil spirit.
……should?
Bai Qingqing was leaning against the window on the return flight, her face pale. After hearing the reply, she sighed slightly and said with a frown, "Sorry, I forgot that you probably can't tell. I'll ask someone else."
The signal on the plane is very poor, it's good enough to be able to talk.
Bai Qingqing didn't say much. She told Zi Wenbin to find a more professional person to take a look and then hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, she called Ji Kui at 3:30 in the middle of the night in China.
I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect the call to go through after just two brief beeps.
Bai Qingqing found it amazing: "Ji Kui, you actually answered my call in the middle of the night?"
Ji Kui: "...what's the matter?"
Bai Qingqing seemed to hear the silence in the other person's voice. She thought that her question was indeed quite irritating, so she couldn't help but laugh foolishly and quickly got down to business: "I sensed the evil spirit in Jinzhou that they call Vaidochana Mahavairocana Tathagata Buddha. The energy was very strong. I couldn't go down to take a closer look. Someone needs to go to Baotong now to see what happened to the sealed evil spirit."
"The Special Investigation Bureau can't do that. Please make a trip."
It was very quiet on the other end of the phone, with a slight rustling sound coming from it, as if the person on the other end had stood up.
Ji Kui turned on the night light, put on a piece of clothing, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you hurt?"
"I didn't fight with them, how could I be injured?" Bai Qingqing reached out and turned off the air conditioner at her seat, feeling that Ji Kui's question was a bit strange.
But his tone sounded like he agreed, so he continued, "When can you go?"
"Now." Ji Kui checked the time: "I'll get back to you in an hour."
Bai Qingqing checked the time and was a little surprised: "You came from Beijing..."
Ji Kui: "I naturally have my own way."
He paused: "How long will it take you to land?"
Bai Qingqing: "Hmm... there are still more than three hours, um, four hours."
"knew."
Neither side said much and simply hung up the phone.
Bai Qingqing pulled the thin blanket upwards and lay down, ready to take a nap before Ji Kui replied.
Four hours later.
The plane was about to land and the voice of the broadcast sounded softly.
Bai Qingqing had consumed too much energy and slept very deeply. When she was woken up by the flight attendant, she immediately checked her phone, but found that there was no missed call from Ji Kui.
"This liar, didn't he say he would get back to me in an hour..." Bai Qingqing stretched lazily, turned over and sat up, and was about to make a call immediately, but her phone rang first.
Ji Kui's voice was very calm: "I've checked it out. The evil spirit hasn't changed much, but the seal in front of the land temple has been moved. I'll send you the new formation blueprint."
"But it would be best if you could come and see it in person when you have time."
Bai Qingqing tapped the armrest with her fingertips.
I always feel that the direction of things is becoming a little subtle.
But it doesn’t matter. No matter how big the storm is, the evil spirit cannot escape Wushang’s help for the time being.
Wherever there is evil, there will be the shadow of Mr. Wu and Wushang.
She just killed Wushang.
Let’s see what tricks Heaven can come up with without its acting pawns.
Thinking about it, she looked at the file that Ji Kui had just sent in the dialog box, and then smiled at the person on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I got it. Thank you for your help, Mr. Kui."
"You're welcome."
The phone was hung up again.
Bai Qingqing thought about Ji Kui's gentle tone, but did not open the drawing immediately. Instead, she pointed with her fingertips and pursed her lips in thought.
Ji Kui's personality is very different from what is described in the original book. He is approachable, polite, easy to command, and he doesn't have a bad temper when he wakes up.
The most important thing is, he even answered her calls.
She did it in the middle of the night.
He doesn't look like a cold-blooded killer at all.
Has he awakened too?
Bai Qingqing bit her lip, tapping harder and harder with her fingertips, and the sound became slower and duller. However, in the original novel, Li Qingqing and Ji Kui had almost no interactions. How many times had they met?
One side? Or both?
The main reason is that Ji Kui is too much of a tool in the novel. Apart from his final death in place of Ji Ke and his repeated visits to Ji Ke to prove that Jiang Muning loved Ji Ke very much, there is almost no description of any substantial events.
Bai Qingqing closed her eyes and thought rapidly.
There is no verification...
If he had a clear plot, even if the plot of the small world had collapsed, she could still try to push it forward and see whether Ji Kui was controlled by his plot.
Unless it is the finale, the time when Ji Kui has to die.
But it was too late to verify anything by then.
Her fingertips tapped rapidly and frantically. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. She leaned forward suddenly and saw the scenery of the airport passing by quickly behind her.
Landed.
Should she go home first, or go directly to Baotong? Or... meet Ji Kui first?
During the short time the plane was taxiing.
Bai Qingqing called the Bai family's driver to pick her up, and finally decided to choose the first option among the latter two options which were uncontrollable.
She wants to go home and sleep.
Go to bed immediately and recuperate.
When she falls asleep, I'll go kill someone.
…
Nine twenty in the morning.
Bai Qingqing drove back home from outside. When passing by the living room, she waved her hand at Bai Lincheng who was sitting on the sofa as a greeting. She didn't have the strength to make any sound or expression.
Bai Lincheng and Bai Songxu looked at her.
After Bai Qingqing walked past them, her brain began to think slowly.
It’s past nine o’clock, why is Bai Lincheng still at home?
Why did Bai Songxu get up so early? And why could he sit on the sofa so quietly?
She dragged her tired body towards the elevator.
Bai Songxu grabbed Bai Lincheng's wrist, pointed at Bai Qingqing's back with an accusing look on his face, then pointed at himself and mouthed to his eldest brother: "The two of us are sitting here! She greeted you and didn't even look at me!"
Bai Lincheng ignored him, took off his wristband, stood up, strode to catch up with Bai Qingqing, and put his hand into the narrow gap between the elevator door and the closed door.
The door popped open in front of me.
Bai Lincheng stepped into the elevator and quickly pressed the door closing button before Bai Songxu could react and rush over. He breathed a sigh of relief after the elevator went up and looked Bai Qingqing up and down.
All intact.
The clothes and pants are quite neat.
It's just that the trouser legs were a little dirty, as if they were stained with some mud, sand and dust.
He secretly felt relieved, frowned and asked: "Where did you go, why did you come back from outside?"
"I'll give you five million and tell you." Bai Qingqing's voice was weak, and she couldn't even straighten her back. She staggered back to her room like a zombie, tripped over the carpet as she walked, and almost hit her door first.
Bai Lincheng was quick to act. He grabbed her clothes from the back and held her tightly. He smelled an unusual smell on her.
Bai Lingcheng recognized her and frowned even more deeply. He immediately took out his phone and called her 5 million. He turned around and asked, "What did you do tonight?"
Two seconds later, a beautiful "ding" sound was heard.
Bai Qingqing suddenly became lively. She straightened her back and checked her empty personal account, which was emitting the smell of money again. A smile appeared in her eyes, and she answered like pouring beans, "I went to Jinzhou. A believer in Jinzhou prayed to me, so I blessed him to go there, so I went on a business trip temporarily.
I bought a helicopter there, and of course, I sold it again. I made a small profit from the helicopter ride, but I didn't have time to exchange it for currency." Bai Qingqing smiled and rubbed her fingers, and finished her last sentence: "There is a little smell on your body, right? Don't get me wrong, I didn't inhale it."
"You're going to Golden State? So you're coming back from the airport, and you dare to go to Golden State alone?!"
Bai Lincheng was shocked: "You are going to find..."
"Survived." Bai Qingqing said.
Bai Lincheng let go of her, closed his eyes, and calmed his nerves that had been hanging all night. "Thank you... If it's convenient, please talk to me. I have something to discuss with you."
Bai Qingqing opened the door and said, "Brother, I want to sleep."
Bai Lingcheng stood outside the door: "I'll come to see you in the evening, please leave some time for me."
Bai Qingqing felt a little embarrassed and tapped the door handle with her fingertips.
After waking up, she had already arranged to kill someone first.
But Bai Mincheng also looked very anxious.
"I'll pay more." Bai Lincheng looked at her fingertips as she looked thoughtful.
"See you tonight, big brother!" Bai Qingqing closed the door quickly.
When the door was closed, there was a sound of wind, isolating the space inside.
Bai Songxu listened to the second half of the conversation from behind them. His mind could no longer keep up with their new topic. He felt as if he had lost his connection to the internet. He pointed at Bai Qingqing's door and asked his eldest brother, "Where did she say she was going? What was she smoking?"
Bai Songxu's face turned pale, and he felt that what Bai Qingqing did every day was beyond his imagination.
She does this every day?
Bai Lingcheng felt helpless, looking at his silly brother who caught up with him: "You heard everything, don't talk nonsense about things that didn't happen, lest it spread out and cause misunderstandings."
"Then why do you have to pay her to talk to her?" Bai Songxu asked in a low voice.
"Is it not okay if I am happy to do so? Bai Songxu, what do you want?" Bai Lincheng turned around and walked away, saying, "If you have something to say, please tell me. If not, I have to go to work."
Bai Songxu: “…”
Bai Songxu felt that his elder brother, who had always been emotionally stable, had been like a powder keg from last night to today. He didn't know who had shot him, and he would be attacked if he said anything to him.
Bai Songxu was no longer happy to talk to him. He pouted angrily and muttered unsatisfactorily behind him: "I'm just asking, am I your brother? Why do I feel like everyone hates me?"
Bai Mincheng went to work.
Bai Songxu stayed where he was and sulked for a while, then looked in the direction of Bai Qingqing's room on the third floor and sat down on the sofa.
He wants to take a day off today and won't go to practice singing.
He just waited at home to see when Bai Qingqing would wake up!
He just couldn't believe that it was so difficult for him to talk to anyone!
*
late at night.
Bai Qingqing slept until two in the morning.
I could have continued sleeping, but my stomach was growling so loudly that I felt anxious if I could sleep for even a second longer.
But I slept very comfortably, and felt that all my strength had been restored. The spiritual energy I had consumed had been spontaneously replenished.
The kitchen staff had already finished get off work and everyone in the mansion had gone to bed. Bai Qingqing changed her clothes, put her hair up, and went downstairs in her slippers, ready to look through the refrigerator.
When the sound of footsteps came into the living room.
Bai Qingqing saw a faint light coming from the curved sofa in front of the small kitchen in the distance.
Bai Mincheng heard footsteps, took off his gold-rimmed glasses and looked towards the source of the sound.
When he saw the thin figure appear in his sight, he smiled, pinched his brows, closed the computer and put it aside, waiting for Bai Qingqing to come forward.
"Brother, why are you... here?"
【Working overtime in the kitchen? 】
[The boss also eats midnight snacks...]
This was the first time Bai Qingqing saw Bai Lincheng not wearing a white shirt and trousers. His hair had obviously been washed and was now lying in front of his forehead. His eyes and brows bore some resemblance to the warm and dignified Bai Siqi.
Only then did she realize that the brothers of the Bai family looked quite similar.
You can tell at first glance that they are a family.
Bai Lincheng relaxed his frown, put on his glasses, listened to Bai Qingqing's complaints, stood up and said, "I'm waiting for you. Didn't we say we'd talk tonight?"
"Wait until midnight?" Bai Qingqing was really surprised. She opened her mouth slightly in disbelief. She walked into the kitchen and went straight to the refrigerator, asking him, "If I don't come, when are you going to wait?"
"You will come." Bai Lincheng saw her squatting in front of the refrigerator, preparing to open the freezer, and smiled, reminding her: "Aunt Qiao saw that you didn't eat all day, so she left some food for you. It's upstairs."
【Wow...Aunt Qiao is so nice.】
Bai Lingcheng took the water behind her.
Bai Qingqing stood up and opened the upper shelf of the refrigerator. Sure enough, there was food packed in fresh-keeping boxes, which were reserved for her in portions, filling up most of the refrigerator.
The name of the dish and the heating time are written on the outside of the box.
There was also a yellow sticky note at her eye level: Eat something easy to digest at night, and you will sleep more comfortably~
【Wow, wow, Aunt Qiao...】
"I saw it. Thanks." Bai Qingqing thanked him.
[What would I do without you... I'll just eat this stewed beef brisket with tomatoes. It must be easy to digest if it's stewed well.]
[Of course, you have to eat rice with meat~]
【It smells so good! 】
Bai Qingqing took out several fresh-keeping boxes from the refrigerator in succession, placed them all on the counter, opened the lids, and then put them in the microwave one by one to heat them up.
Then he looked at Bai Lincheng on the side and said, "Tell me, what is it that you spent five million to discuss with me, and you even made Mr. Bai wait until midnight."
Bai Lincheng pushed his glasses, his throat moved slightly, and after a half-breath pause, he spoke bluntly:
"Bai Qingqing, if I say that the world we live in now is a novel, and I am the villain in the book, and I... have awakened, would you believe it?"
The microwave made a slight ding sound.
Bai Qingqing remained silent for longer than before he spoke.
This was an unspoken secret between them, but she didn't expect Bai Lincheng to make it clear to her.
She unconsciously closed her hands on the edge of the table and grasped the edge tightly: "I believe it, so, the purpose of you telling me this is...?"
"Alliance. I need your help."
"Like what?"
"We are all being controlled by the plot. Qingqing, I need your metaphysical ability. First, to calculate what will happen next and the fate of each of us; second, to help us wake up when we are out of control."
Bai Qingqing heard Bai Lincheng's last sentence and slowly curled her lips, her expression becoming interested: "How can I help you wake up?"
"The third brother said that he had seen the illusion you created for him, and when he was with you, he didn't know what you did, but he had a strange sense of lucidity."
"I want you to do this, okay?"
Bai Qingqing looked into his eyes, trying to understand the expression behind his lenses.
Suddenly she said, "First, fortune-telling. I'm good at it. There's no problem with that. Since you said it's an alliance, then the exchange is also simple. Just pay the fortune-telling fee."
"As for the second one, you are talking about the field."
Bai Qingqing knew that he had communicated with Bai San, so she pointed her finger knowingly, spoke as usual, and resumed her actions.
While taking the food out of the microwave, he answered Bai Lingcheng: "It's not easy to open a field. What can you give me in exchange?"
Bai Lincheng's eyes flashed behind the lenses.
When he and Bai Qingqing discussed forming an alliance, there was no exchange involved. Bai Qingqing's ultimate goal was the same as his, and she would agree to whatever he offered.
Otherwise she wouldn't have bothered to help the third child.
He made it clear now with only one purpose.
He wanted Bai Qingqing to make full use of him.
There is no need to hide anything.
Bai Lincheng pretended to be thinking, quietly listening to Bai Qingqing's inner voice echoing in the small kitchen along with the sound of the microwave oven running.
[As expected of the Bai family's most powerful brain, he could actually think of this by himself. I just didn't expect him to be so reckless and say it directly. He's not afraid that I would think he's crazy. ]
[But...his method also makes sense.]
[It’s just that when the small world is still small, you can deceive the Heavenly Dao into thinking that it is an ordinary domain. But if you do it too many times, the spiritual power will be consumed, and the Heavenly Dao will always find out that it is not a domain at all...]
[Faced with such a threatening heretic, the most likely outcome is to be strangled. ]
[Hmm...how about getting him a real domain?]
Bai Qingqing recalled that there really was a mountain ghost in her memory. She hadn't seen it for a few months and didn't know if it was still there. But as long as it hadn't been captured by other people from the Xuanmen... that mountain ghost...
[Beating him up should have a similar effect, right? ]
Bai Qingqing frowned, heated up the dishes, and tapped her fingertips in thought while waiting. She didn't notice that Bai Lincheng, who seemed to be thinking about the reward beside her, softened his expression and smiled.
Xiaowu did a lot of bad things, but he said one thing that was right.
Qingqing's inner thoughts...are mostly just her guesses.
It's just speculation, so it may be inaccurate sometimes.
Bai Qingqing, what was the world you originally lived in like?
·
Bai Qingqing got drunk in a second after having her midnight snack. She waved to Bai Lincheng and was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyelids open. She slowly climbed up to the third floor holding onto the handrail.
Bai Mincheng followed behind her and walked up the stairs slowly together.
In the middle, I asked her, “Why do you always take the stairs?”
There were only a few steps left. Bai Qingqing took a breath, waved her hands as she felt dizzy from sleepiness, and answered, "I'm not climbing stairs. I'm practicing mountain climbing."
She climbed the last step and exhaled.
He didn’t have the energy to talk to Bai Lincheng anymore. He burped and pushed open the door of his room.
On the bed, the cell phone screen was on, as if a message had just arrived.
She picked it up and took a look at it in confusion, and found that it was a bank transfer.
…
[Bai Songxu transferred 100,000.00, note: Have you slept?]
[Bai Songxu transferred 100,000.00, note: Why didn’t my friend approve it?]
[Bai Songxu transferred 100,000.00, note: When did you delete me? ]
[Bai Songxu transferred 100,000.00, note: You blocked me?]
