Chapter 26
Although Xie Que does not show any danger now, his ancestor is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.
The most feared thing about exorcism is uncertainty. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. What Jing Xiebai hates most is someone secretly controlling the entire situation from behind.
But if it is really as they guessed, even the meeting between Xie Que and Jing Xiebai was calculated, then they have unknowingly become each other's pawns, and it is impossible for them to not be led by the nose.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly reached a freezing point, and Xie hesitated several times to speak. He understood Jing Xiebai's concerns, but he was unwilling to let go.
Like Jing Xiebai, he hates being plotted against and being bound. He wants to catch Chen Shan and prevent the disaster from happening even more than Jing Xiebai does.
"I don't know what else he did, but I think his early reincarnation was definitely not to help Chen Shan." Xie Que looked into Jing Xiebai's eyes and broke the silence.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to reincarnate into himself in advance when the Xie family's yang energy is already stronger than that of ordinary people, and there would be no need to arrange for him to meet Jing Xiebai.
"I don't know what he has done and I can't interfere; but I can guarantee that everything I do is to catch Chen Shan."
Unlike Jing Xiebai and the others, Xie Que was not doing this for the sake of the people of the world, but to give an explanation to his parents. He couldn't just watch Chen Shan succeed and do nothing.
"Have you ever thought that Chen Shan has been targeting you?" Jing Xiebai did not question Xie Que's sincerity. He pointed to a place on the map and spoke indifferently.
They counted the ten cities where the number of evil spirits had increased most significantly in the past half month, and the first one was Xicheng, which was where they were now.
Xie frowned and lowered his head to look at the map carefully.
He had only looked at it briefly before and had not realized that there were so many evil spirits gathered in and around his city.
"Chen Shan is the one who caused the disaster. Wherever he stays, more evil spirits will naturally breed." Lu Jueqiu explained, "I've checked the population movement in West City for the past two weeks, and there's nothing unusual."
"Yes, the strangest thing is that in the past half month, no one named 'Chen Shan' has entered or left West City. There is not even a single person named 'Chen Shan' in the entire West City." Shi Ming added.
The Shi family's network of connections was even more extensive than the Lu family's, and Shi Ming had personally investigated this matter. "Chen Shan" was a very popular name, and Xicheng was a metropolitan city with a large population flow, so it was impossible not to find someone named "Chen Shan." The only explanation was that Chen Shan had already arrived and was using this method to inform them of his presence.
How arrogant.
Jing Xiebai sighed and put away the map: "We think Chen Shan is targeting you."
As the one who orchestrated the plan, Chen Shan was the one who knew best how difficult the Death God was to deal with. However, the fact that Xie Que and Jing Xiebai not only returned alive but also saved someone who should have died was bound to attract Chen Shan's attention.
Jing Xiebai: "You didn't die last time because the judge was helping you, but it's hard to say what will happen next time."
It was because of Xie Que's appearance that they were able to discover Chen Shan's conspiracy so early. Although they didn't know what his ancestor was planning, it seemed that he posed no threat to them at the moment, and he even saved their lives.
"Don't worry too much. I've been keeping an eye on people coming in and out of here. I'll tell you the first time anything happens." Seeing that Xie was a little depressed, Shi Ming subconsciously comforted him.
He has a weak constitution and cannot come into contact with these supernatural things. The only thing he can do is to help keep an eye on them.
Lu Jueqiu also comforted him: "Once we have confirmed his approximate location, it won't be difficult to catch him."
Since Chen Shan wants to refine the evil ghost, he will definitely not take action. As long as they exorcise the ghost fast enough, Chen Shan will definitely appear.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Jing Xiebai tapped the table twice, and like a magic trick, he took out a black earring and handed it to Xie Que, "Let's get your ears pierced."
Xie Que: "What is this?"
The earrings are well-made, and the black gemstones gleam in the dim light, looking mysterious and beautiful.
"It has a locator installed inside, which makes it easy to determine your location." Shi Ming took the earring from Xie Que and said half jokingly and half nostalgically, "I wore this thing when I was in high school."
In high school, Shi Ming was always out fooling around without telling his family. His mother was worried, and since he had his ears pierced, she gave him an earring with a tracking device. This way, she didn't have to worry about Shi Ming being lost without his phone, and she could always tell if he was skipping classes. It was very convenient.
"Where is the locator?" Xie didn't care about what Shi Ming experienced in high school. He bent down and looked closely at the earrings, but did not find the locator.
Lu Jueqiu: "It's in the ear plug."
Xie Que: "Ah?"
The earplugs were also black and small, so they would fall off easily when held in the hand, but Xie didn't pay much attention to them at first.
"Okay, choose a seat and call Shi Ming to punch you." Jing Xiebai handed the puncher to Shi Ming and collapsed back on the sofa.
"You will just go to work normally from now on and take on commissions occasionally. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Shan will take the initiative to find you."
There was no way Chen Shan could hold back; he would definitely be observing Xie Que from the dark. Since there was no way to directly confirm Chen Shan's location, they could only wait for him to come to them. Rather than competing with him in speed, it was safer to use Xie Que as bait.
Xie understood what Jing Xiebai meant and agreed readily.
"Hit the left side." Xie turned sideways to make it easier for Shi Ming to attack.
"Okay." Shi Ming was very excited, and the corners of his mouth had been smiling since the moment he got the piercer.
However, Lu Jueqiu looked at Xie Que a few more times after knowing that he wanted to get his ears pierced, and then pretended not to care while typing on the computer.
"Don't run around. Tell us where you're going, and tell me before you take any orders."
Jing Xiebai picked up his phone and created a WeChat group, then added, "Although you're going there as bait, you still have to prioritize your own safety. If you encounter anyone suspicious, don't rush in. Contact us first."
"Okay." Because he was leaning sideways, Xie was facing Jing Xiebai. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest in the past two weeks. His eyes were dark blue, and he looked less energetic than he was two weeks ago.
"Okay." Shi Ming moved quickly, told Xie Que a few things to pay attention to, and then ran to the side to play games with Lu Jueqiu.
"Okay, stop playing games and go eat. We'll be busy soon." Jing Xiebai picked up the car keys from the table, put on his coat, and urged the other three to go out.
"What do you want to eat?" Shi Ming stared at Lu Jueqiu's computer screen while getting dressed, looking a bit childish.
"Stop watching and go eat." Lu Jueqiu turned off the computer and gave Shi Ming a pair of glasses.
"Put it on."
Shi Ming obediently took the glasses and put them on, then followed Xie Que out the door.
Jing Xiebai just drove the car over and waved to Xie, motioning him to sit in the passenger seat.
"Xie Que, you decide." Jing Xiebai said casually while steering the wheel.
Xie Que: "Ah? I can do anything."
"No, just tell me what you want to eat and I'll charge you a ton of money." Shi Ming laughed, but his face showed an evil intention that he couldn't hide.
Jing Xiebai glanced at him in the rearview mirror without any reaction.
Xie Que: "I really accept anything." He is indeed not picky about food. As long as it is not spicy, he can basically accept it.
"Okay, then I'll decide." Jing Xiebai didn't continue to ask Xie Que to make a decision, and chose a restaurant that his family often went to for dinner.
Along the way, only Shi Ming was chatting, Lu Jueqiu was playing games quietly in the back seat, and Jing Xiebai was busy driving and ignored him. However, Xie would reply a few words at the beginning, and later he added Jing Yucheng on WeChat and kept talking to him about several places in the family where the family tree might appear.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Xie Que had just finished chatting with Jing Yucheng. He got out of the car and walked into the restaurant with them.
The restaurant that Jing Xiebai chose had very ordinary decoration, but was very crowded. When they entered, the owner was busy taking orders for others.
"Uncle Zhao, is there any room left?" Jing Xiebai often comes here to eat and is very familiar with the owner.
"Yes, the old seat has been reserved for you." The boss's face was filled with a happy smile. He patted Jing Xiebai's shoulder and scolded him, "You haven't been here for a long time. Are you so busy recently?"
Jing Xiebai laughed twice: "I came here as soon as I had some free time."
"Alright, alright, let's go eat first." The boss waved his hand and led them into a small room. "Just order whatever you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you right away."
Jing Xiebai: "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll come to the kitchen and tell you after I've ordered the dishes."
This shop was discovered by Jing Xiebai when he was exorcising ghosts. He helped the owner solve the rent problem and helped him keep the shop open. Since then, he has come here to eat from time to time.
"Go ahead and order. You're welcome." Jing Xiebai handed the menu to Xie Que and tapped on his phone.
After finding Chen Shan, they immediately called a meeting with the people from the four major families. They had to take advantage of this time to check whether there were any insiders who had been exposed to evil magic.
The biggest taboo in the profession of exorcist is learning evil magic. Other crimes of stealing money and killing people are not as serious as learning evil magic.
Fearing that Chen Shan had deliberately leaked his evil magic, they had to hurry up and investigate internally.
Jing Xiebai became the head of the family when he was eighteen years old. The Jing family is the head of the four major families. He was so busy recently that he was even exorcising ghosts in his dreams.
Lu Jueqiu wasn't in much better condition either. After staying up all night for several days, he was lifeless and as slow to respond as a cell phone that had been used for several years.
After ordering the dishes, Jing Xiebai stopped working and sat on the stool, looking at the earrings on Xie Que's ears.
"Does it hurt?" He had never had his ears pierced before, so he didn't know if it would hurt.
"It doesn't hurt."
Xie is not very sensitive to pain, and sometimes he doesn't even feel anything when he is injured.
"That's fine." Jing Xiebai nodded, looked at Shi Ming beside him, and frowned, "You kid, don't have any contact with us for the time being."
They deal with evil spirits too much, so there is some residual negative energy on their bodies. Shi Ming will easily get sick if he stays with them for too long.
"Okay, okay, okay." Shi Ming is very aware of his physical condition and will not get involved at this time and ask for trouble.
