Yin Qi Bead
Hecheng, Shenyu Club
"...What's going on?" In the shadows, the man held a wine glass and looked at the bustling crowd under the one-way glass.
"The soul is absorbed very well. It will be nurtured successfully with four or five more sacrifices. The final number still depends on the quality of the soul." At the other end of the sofa, a man in a white coat was holding a tablet in his hand, seemingly looking at some data.
"Then hurry up." The man put down his glass and walked to the mirror. "I can't wait to see them being treated like pigs and dogs."
"The Ghost King's Yin Qi Pearl is right here..." Outside the private room, He Yishu covered his mouth tightly and told himself to stay calm.
What did she see?
Three or four bodies lay scattered across the floor of the luxurious private room, their bright red blood staining the expensive carpet. From what they'd said, the colleagues who'd recently left their jobs for unknown reasons had all been sacrificed. So... would I, too, become a sacrifice to some cult?
He Yishu carefully removed her high heels and tiptoed down the stairs. There were no surveillance cameras above the third floor, originally intended to protect the privacy of high-ranking officials, but now it had become her lifeline.
If she hadn't arrived at work earlier today, she might have encountered something unexpected. She couldn't run. The security guard downstairs had already seen her, and leaving at this moment would only arouse suspicion.
Call the police?
This is the Divine Realm Club. I don’t know how many high-ranking people would come here for entertainment. Calling the police would only lead to a trap.
What else could she do?
She hid in the locker room trembling with fear, and suddenly heard a faint sound coming from outside the door, as if someone wanted a girl to accompany her for drinking.
"Fifth sister..." He Yishu quickly adjusted her expression, putting on her usual cool yet charming demeanor, "How's my resignation going?"
"Oh, Yi Shu is here?" The one called Fifth Sister was a man who looked more charming than some women.
"Didn't you say that I have to place a few more big orders before I can leave? How dare I be lazy?" He Yishu held a half-smoked lady's cigarette in his hand and seemed a little dissatisfied.
The fifth sister glanced at the floor in the locker room. There was cigarette ash all over the floor. She had been there for a while.
"I've been here for so long, I've smoked a pack of cigarettes, but no rich man or woman has picked me up yet. Sigh..." He Yishu glanced at the fifth sister vaguely, and he laughed, "That's perfect, a young master is here, go ahead. Don't worry about me not giving you a chance!"
"Fifth sister is still good to me." He Yishu smiled, and suddenly kissed the corner of Fifth Sister's lips when she passed by sideways. A charming smile flashed across her face, and she turned into that cold and beautiful look again.
The fifth sister was stunned for a moment, "Fifth sister, He Yishu..." The security guard next to her pointed upstairs, the meaning was self-evident.
The fifth sister glanced at him and said, "Do you think she is the kind of person who has nothing better to do than go upstairs and cause trouble for herself?"
The security guard thought about it and realized, yes, He Yishu looked cool and elegant, but she was usually interested in money. She had been a little interested when she'd heard there was a generous guest upstairs, but when she mentioned that the guest might help redeem her, she lost interest in going upstairs.
The fifth sister took the security guard upstairs and glanced at the floor of the locker room before leaving.
"I went to the young master's private room with the others. Everything was the same as usual. No one in the club noticed I went upstairs." In the restaurant, He Yishu had a sad look on his face. He no longer looked as silly and dazed as before when he lost his memory.
"That young master was really generous. He helped me fill all the vacancies that night. I was supposed to leave Hecheng the next day."
"But……"
"You were discovered after all." Yu Sishi recalled the house He Yishu rented. "Were you pushed off the rooftop?"
He Yishu nodded. "The people from the club suddenly appeared. That speed is not something a human can achieve. They threw me down directly."
"Why did they suddenly notice that something was wrong with you? What did you do?" Yu Sishi asked sharply.
"Hmm..." He Yishu's expression suddenly turned sarcastic, somewhat resembling the cold and beautiful woman Li Xingzang had seen before, "Maybe it's because... their things are lost."
"The Ghost King's Yin Qi Bead they mentioned in their conversation?"
"Hmm~"
"You are about to leave Hecheng, why do you bother to take this thing?" Li Xingzang asked in confusion.
"Boss, do you have the strength of a Ghost King now?" He Yishu suddenly asked.
"Almost, but not yet at that stage."
"Even if they arrive, they should be different from us pure ghosts." He Yishu pointed at himself and Wei Chunhua, "In the ghost cultivation secret book you gave me, it was mentioned that the Ghost King cultivates in a ghost body, and after becoming a king, he will form a Yin Qi bead. It's different from the red envelope you gave. This thing is like the inner elixir of a monster. It's a great tonic for us, but it's no less poisonous to humans."
"They placed Yin Qi beads in the clubhouse and used special methods to continuously infect people's brains. Those with weak wills would be affected and controlled by them."
"Although I didn't know the specific use of this thing at the time, I subconsciously felt that I couldn't let it stay there any longer, so I took it away."
"They didn't find the Yin Qi beads in your house." Yu Shishi certainly knew the function of this thing, but he didn't expect that it existed in the Divine Realm. He was afraid that the Yin Qi in those Yin barrels was used to cultivate the Ghost King.
"I ate it," He Yishu said frankly. "It wouldn't be safe to hide it anywhere, so I just swallowed it. They didn't do any security checks anyway."
"But I didn't expect them to be so ruthless. We are colleagues after all, but they just threw me down! Damn!" He Yishu slammed the table, and his demeanor as a little He classmate appeared again.
No, this is her nature.
"As the name suggests, the Yin Qi Pearl is a collection of Yin Qi. Since you have eaten it, it will merge with your soul. In order to get this thing back, they can only take your soul back." Yu Shishi analyzed.
"That's right, but I hid in Boss Li's house and they returned empty-handed." He Yishu was a little proud.
Li Xingzang sighed. What was there to be proud of? He was broken into pieces.
"But that thing has also affected you. You can't remember anything about your life." Yu Sishi explained why she lost her memory. There are indeed many magical instruments or skills in this world that can cause memory loss. That's why they didn't discover the Yin Qi Pearl.
"If the things that happened when I was a child weren't so profound, I don't know when I would be able to remember them." Looking at Wei Chunhua next to him, He Yishu had a complicated expression.
Wei Chunhua blinked, "This matter has caused a lot of trouble for my Xiaomin... She is a little girl!"
Isn’t this ridiculous? Who would name their daughter Zhou Liming?
"Zhou Limin! These three words!"
"Then you keep calling me son and son! You even mistook Xiaohe for her." He Yishu said angrily, a little embarrassed.
"It's just my habit, so I call Xiao Min my son." Wei Chunhua also looked a little innocent. Isn't it just that he speaks with an accent, isn't it? "Why did you mistake Xiao He for her..." She was also a little confused. "I don't know about that. Maybe I just got out of that bucket and my mind is still a little unclear."
Yu Sishi and Li Xingzang looked at each other. It seemed that the little guy also had some secrets.
"I need to take out the Yin Qi beads from you." Yu Sishi knocked on the table and suddenly looked at Li Xingzang, "Boss Li, I'm afraid I have to take her back to the office."
"Is it difficult?" After all, Xiao He has been here for so long, and he took the Yin Qi Pearl for other people. Li Xingzang was a little worried.
"That's not difficult," Yu Sishi smiled soothingly, "but she's already a ghost, and her Yin energy blends well with that thing. Maybe she's absorbed the dirt on it as well. I need to go back to the office and find a ghost cultivator to help her deal with it."
"Can't I do it?" Li Xingzang was a little unconvinced. He was almost becoming the Ghost King, but he was still not considered a big shot.
Yu Si Shi laughed out loud, which made Boss Li glare at him angrily.
"No, you—you're not of the same breed!"
Although people are of Chinese nationality, their race is an alien species.
Accept Boss Li’s iron fist of justice!
Yu Sishi took He Yishu back to the imperial capital for treatment. Because of the information she provided, the Special Investigation Office found some other clues about the Divine Realm Organization, and they were unable to return to Snow City for the time being.
They? Li Xingzang touched the dog felt in her hand. She included Yu Sishi in the count.
Oh...this cowardly dog.
"Zang Zang, when is your exam?" Li Long asked while biting the bone in his mouth.
"Next weekend."
"Hey? Can you celebrate the Lantern Festival at home?" The Lantern Festival is on Monday, just in time for me to come back after the exams.
"That's about right. We'll talk about it later."
"You've become a vampire and still have to take exams. You're going to have to take exams as long as you're alive." Gao Yuan happened to be there to get takeout and joked when he heard her say that.
"Xiao Huo is still in KTV?" Li Xingzang realized that he hadn't seen him for a long time.
"Well, there have been more tourists lately. He and Bai Yang are cosplaying Qing Dynasty dramas." Gao Yuan held up the takeout. "Look, they're ordering me around. I have to go back and make the background music for them."
"You're such a poor soul! Here, I'll give you some snowflake pastry." Boss Li generously packed it up for him. They'd made too much for Chinese New Year, and since Yu Sishi had returned to the capital, they had to finish it all off.
The weather in the imperial capital was dry. Yu Sishi took a big gulp of water and said, "I'll go back first, you guys continue." He captured some more members of the organization. Although there was no core information, even the smallest mosquito is still meat.
After walking out of the Special Intelligence Bureau, Yu Sishi vaguely heard what other people were talking about. Before he could hear clearly, Ms. Xu sent him a WeChat message.
[Son, today is Lantern Festival. Come back and have some glutinous rice dumplings. I've prepared several different fillings.]
Yu Sishi sighed. The old man hadn't been so sarcastic these days. It would be good for him to go back and accompany Ms. Xu.
【good】
Turning to Li Xingzang's chat page, the last sentence was about them discussing the matter between He Yishu and Shen Yu. That was two days ago.
[Happy Lantern Festival, Boss Li] with Samoyed emoticons.
After waiting for a while and not receiving her reply, Yu Sishi sighed. He thought that Boss Li must be preparing delicious food again and not checking his phone.
The cell phone was thrown into the passenger seat, and Yu Sishi drove towards Yu's house.
Ding Dong——
[Happy Lantern Festival, Officer Yu, come and receive your express delivery] The accompanying picture is a huge dessert box in front of the Special Intelligence Bureau, with the logo of Lao Li's Restaurant painted on it.
