Chapter 175



Chapter 175

Speaking of which, Xu Ming herself was a little confused about the appearance of these offal...dirty things.

After all, it was not her own doing. She didn't even take a close look at what the monster looked like at the time, and was asked by Guo Shuyi to close her eyes. Then she heard something not far away making a sticky sound, accompanied by a disgusting spitting sound, and a strong fishy smell spreading in the air. Then

came the sound of Guo Shuyi constantly announcing the names of the dishes, saying "heart", "intestines", "spine", "liver"... and so on.

How to say it, Xu Ming happened to be a little hungry at the time.

When she opened her eyes again, Guo Shuyi had happily got a small basket from somewhere, and began to squat on the ground to pick up the intact ingredients.

...It's a pity that the offal she brought back couldn't be used for hot pot in the end.

On the one hand, everyone cares more about the origin. More importantly, although the appearance has become an ingredient, it is hard to say whether other properties have changed. For example, Kuai Le and Gu Yunshu smelled a particularly strong monster odor when Guo Shuyi walked in, but Lu Yueling and Guo Shuyi herself didn't smell it at all.

For example, the evolved cake. Everyone thought it tasted like blueberries. But the specific feeling after eating it varies from person to person.

"...I see."

Another three hours later, in the kitchen.

Landor nodded thoughtfully while washing the dishes: "That's quite useful."

He was sent out today to inspect several cooperative ghost stories and deliver work badges. He didn't come back until the evening, so he missed the excitement of Xu Ming's place.

Xu Ming was looking for dessert in the refrigerator. Hearing this, he replied: "Well, to a certain extent, the ability to protect oneself and control is stronger, but... eh?"

She paused, and then withdrew her hand from the refrigerator. There was a small potato with long legs between her fingers.

The unfortunate whale man who was caught smiled awkwardly, and was dangled by Xu Ming by the scruff of the neck. He clasped his hands together silently, and his eyes opened as wide as possible. He looked over pitifully, with a well-behaved face.

Xu Ming shuddered and put it on the ground. After thinking about it, he took out two servings of pudding from the refrigerator and stuffed one into it. Then he stood up, closed the refrigerator, and continued slowly:

"But the inherent weaknesses of idiots still cannot be overcome."

"..." Lando thought for a moment, turned his head halfway, "You mean it will be inconvenient to collect intelligence?"

"Yes." Xu Ming said as he tore open the pudding wrapper, "Think about it, if some important clues were refreshed in the past, at most I wouldn't be able to see it. And now, if you're unlucky, no one can see it. Isn't this quite troublesome... Hey, give me a spoon."

Lando looked around, took a small spoon for Xu Ming with his clean hands, and passed it to him from behind. Xu Ming took it directly with his mouth, and then he heard Landor whisper: "But you are behind the scenes now, it should be okay? And you can switch to the state of Dream Walker at any time."

"That's true, it's a bit troublesome." Xu Ming nodded, slowly scooped a spoonful of pudding into his mouth, and glanced at the kitchen door again - he saw that the whale fat man had already run far away with the pudding box on his head, and he didn't know where he sat to eat.

"And sometimes Haitang is present, and you have to pay attention to the problem of face pinching." Xu Ming lowered his voice and said the second half of the sentence, "Be careful not to take the wrong identity, it's very troublesome."

"?" Landor also glanced at the door subconsciously, and also lowered his voice, "It doesn't know about the attack on Ming yet?"

Xu Ming bit the spoon and shook his head subtly.

"I kept putting off explaining it to it, and it kept putting it off for longer and longer." She sighed softly, "It asked me two days ago, 'Why doesn't that cool-looking teacher Si Ming always come to play? Has he gone solo?'... I don't know how to tell it."

"..." Landor looked at her sympathetically and tried to give her some advice, "Next time, find a chance to give it some hints. Wait until it has guessed something, then confess?"

Xu Ming: "...What kind of hints?"

Landor: "Show it "Cardcaptor Sakura" or "Saint Girl"? "

Xu Ming: "..."

"Shut up." She stuffed a spoonful of pudding into Landor's mouth in annoyance, and then slumped her shoulders. After a moment's silence, he brought the topic back to his newly upgraded ability: "But to be honest, I think this variant of idiot... maybe it can be used to close the door."

"Huh?" Lando glanced at her sideways, then quickly retracted his gaze, with the aroma of pudding still in his mouth and his ears red, "You mean, use idiot to directly affect the switch state of the door?" "

This is also an idea, but I don't think it will be that easy." Xu Ming fed himself another spoonful of pudding, with a thoughtful look on his face, "After all, the 'door' is a product of the lighthouse. The power of the lighthouse should be difficult to interfere with. Didn't we try to close the door directly with rules before? It didn't work."

Lando was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes again: "So what you mean is..."

"Fang Xueqing, and her master key." Xu Ming slammed the empty pudding box on the sink. "I may not be able to directly affect the door, but I can try to affect her key."

Fang Xueqing may not have the key to "close the door" directly, but when she thought about it, she might have it.

Although this matter also depends on appearance, the success rate is more reliable than directly affecting the door.

"So..." Lando nodded as if he understood, and took the spoon used by Xu Ming, rinsed it under water, wiped it dry and put it away. After thinking for a while, he said, "Have you talked to Fang Xueqing about this?" "

Not yet. It happens that she will be here in the next two days, and I plan to talk to her then." Xu Ming leaned against the sink and stretched lazily. Landor silently reached out and moved her out, took the pudding box she had left on the table and threw it directly into the trash can.

"In other words, you are not going to disclose the matter of the idiot's upgrade directly to Anxin Gardening?" Landor turned around and asked.

"There's no need to hide it, but we have to give it the status of private intelligence." Xu Ming crossed his arms. "Guo Shuyi and I have agreed that we will go to her ghost talk room tomorrow to do another round of experiments. Then we will compile a PDF and give it directly to Shi Mian as a gift. It can be regarded as a favor."

"Tomorrow?" Lando was a little surprised. "So urgent?"

"Yeah." Xu Ming nodded. "At least we have to figure out the new ability before Fang Xueqing comes. And... I have another very important thing I want to try."

Lando: "? What is it?"

Xu Ming glanced at her, but didn't say anything else. Instead, he suddenly reached out and opened the kitchen curtains.

It was already dark, and the spirits floating outside returned to the house one after another. There was only a thin figure standing in front of the door, carefully checking the status of the door lock.

It was Gu Yunshu.

As if she had sensed the gaze coming from the kitchen, she subconsciously turned her head and looked over. Xu Ming smiled and waved to greet her. Only after watching the other party walk out of sight did she let out a sigh of relief.

"You'll know then." She said softly, shrugged, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

In a blink of an eye, two days later.

It was just four o'clock in the morning, and Gu Yunshu, who was clinging to the guest room closet, quietly opened his eyes and floated out gently.

In fact, since Guo Shuyi got the copy of the rule book, her strength has been greatly improved, and it has become much more convenient for the spirits like them to enter and exit her ghost story. The resting conditions in the ghost story are much better than those in the villa. You can choose any house you want. If you don’t want to sleep, you can play there all day and no one will bother you

. Anyway, as spirits, they don’t need to sleep. The so-called "sleep" is just a state of cutting off information interference. There is no difference between day and night for them, and it has no meaning.

It’s just that when Xu Ming also fell asleep, listening to her even breathing, he would feel a little lonely.

Like Lu Yueling, she is now accustomed to resting in the ghost story. It is said that she has booked a high-rise presidential suite there, and often stays there alone to kill time. Panpan and her daughter also applied for a small house in the strange talk, and they would spend the night there when they had nothing to do.

The Whale Fat Man was one of the few people who applied for a house from Guo Shuyi but failed. It was said that the reason for the rejection was very subtle, but he also got the right to stay in the hotel. The bed in the guest room was therefore vacated. Now, most of the time, Gu Yunshu is the only one sleeping in the entire guest room.

But compared to the bed, she is still used to sleeping in her small closet. The small and dark space makes people feel safe.

As for the reason for insisting on spending the night in the villa, it is also very simple. Xu Ming fell asleep, and someone had to watch over the house. In case something happened, she could help in time.

When I walked out of the room, Xu Ming was still resting. Lando got up early and was about to go out to buy breakfast. Gu Yunshu greeted him and Shadow Dog, found a table and sat down, and carefully reviewed today's schedule. After sorting it out, he estimated that Niu Bugeng and Ma Taigeer, who lived in the glass house, should have woken up, so he went over and asked about the strange stories he had browsed with his laptop yesterday.

He took notes while asking, sorted out the information, entered it on the computer, and sent a separate copy to Xu Ming. It was almost six o'clock when he finished the work, and Landor also came back, so Gu Yunshu went out without worry, took the work badge he had applied for from Xu Ming the day before, and started the routine strange story inspection work.

Today, we have to go to four ghost stories. The main task is to check the condition of the door, communicate with the owner Hu Yangyu, understand the changes in the ghost stories, and then provide some work cards according to the other party's needs. If there are spirits that look qualified, we will try to dig a corner to see if we can dig directly into the demolition office. If possible, remember to keep a record in the rule book in time.

The flow of time in the ghost story is generally much faster than in reality. Even so, after running down the four ghost stories, more than half a day has passed. There are still some work cards left in hand. Gu Yunshu held them in his hand and looked at them for a moment, and decisively decided to take a detour home-near Xu Ming's residence, the dead who can be rescued have basically been picked up. If you want to pick up some new people, you can only expand the scope of activities.

Unfortunately, there were no dead bodies on the road today that could be taken home directly. Only two were found on the side of the road, both of which had completely lost themselves, and were completely unable to move or communicate.

Gu Yunshu could only give it a try, and hung a work badge on each of them, and did not forget to keep a file in time. After all this trouble, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to Xu Ming's house.

When she got home, Xu Ming was on the phone with An Xin Gardening, with a frown on his face, as if he had encountered some problems. When he saw her come back, he immediately smiled and waved. Gu Yunshu also nodded and greeted, and then went to the glass house again, and once again asked Niu Bugeng, who was responsible for monitoring other strange stories, about the situation. After confirming that there was nothing wrong for the time being, he went directly into Guo Shuyi's strange story.

Lu Yueling also had her own patrol mission today, so she was not here at the moment. The others had nothing to do and were playing games together. When they saw Gu Yunshu, they all greeted him enthusiastically. Gu Yunshu stopped to talk for a while, but did not dare to delay for too long. After politely declining the invitation to play games together, he walked into the office building next door without hesitation, found a desk and sat down, spread out his notebook, and began to organize the personnel files and work card withdrawal status of the past few days.

He remembered clearly how many work cards were collected, what names were written on each card, how many cards were used, and where they were used. After finishing the work, he checked yesterday's records and found that Lando, who was in charge of the patrol yesterday, had not submitted the work card records. His face immediately sank. Guo Shuyi came in to deliver some snacks, and she politely asked him to help urge them. She continued to sit at her desk and continued to sort out other information.

Xu Ming now had more and more work badges, and was involved in more and more strange stories. Most of the core members were thugs. Apart from her, Guo Shuyi and Niu Bugeng, basically no one was good at this kind of trivial work. Xu Ming himself had other things to do, Guo Shuyi had to manage her own strange stories, and Niu Bugeng also had his own special responsibilities...

Although she was helpless, she had to take on the heavy responsibility.

Just as she had sorted out the materials for the "Demolition Office Information Conference" for newcomers to be used tomorrow, Guo Shuyi had already delivered yesterday's work badge records for Lando. Gu Yunshu started to check and input immediately without taking a breath. After recording for a long time, he found that there was a work card record missing. He looked through the rule book and couldn't match it. After a long silence, he couldn't help but rushed out and found Lando who was making dinner. He scolded him with a gloomy face. After that, he went to Xu Ming's bedroom and found an extra work card on the table. Then he went back to his office again in a huff. After

sorting out all the information, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Gu Yunshu spent a while alone in the office. He estimated that Xu Ming should have finished dinner, so he got up and prepared to leave the strange talk and go back to rest.

Of course, before resting, he had to go to Xu Ming again to synchronize today's work records with her. There are still some details to be confirmed for tomorrow's briefing... Then I should be able to play with Guo Shuyi and the others for a while? Remember to check the door lock at home again before going to bed. Some time ago, someone broke into the house next door at night, and it was the shadow dog who went over to help scare the person away...

While thinking, the person had already walked downstairs. The lobby paved with marble tiles is magnificent and clean, and human figures are faintly reflected on the wall. Gu Yunshu glanced at it inadvertently, his eyes paused slightly, and he quickly looked away the next second, speeding up his pace to leave without hesitation.

Just after walking out of the office building, he saw Guo Shuyi hurried over. The moment he saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Luckily you're still here!" she said hurriedly, "Sister Mingming is looking for you. She's waiting for you in the cafe."

"Café?" Gu Yunshu was stunned, "Shouldn't she be eating at this time?"

"I don't know... but she looks very happy." Guo Shuyi said, and she couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Gu Yunshu was still standing there, she simply walked forward and pushed her out, "Hurry up and go. Sister is waiting."

"Wait, I still don't understand... Okay, okay, I can walk by myself." Gu Yunshu was still confused. Guo Shuyi pushed her forward a few steps. She turned her head to look at her. Although she was puzzled, she still followed her instructions and walked quickly to the cafe.

After entering the cafe, she saw Xu Ming sitting there alone. The strange thing was that she always liked to sit facing the door before, but now Gu Yunshu could only see her back.

Gu Yunshu became more and more puzzled and called her softly. Xu Ming opened his mouth to respond, but still kept his back to her and only waved at her from a distance.

"Come here." Gu Yunshu heard her say, "I have something for you."

"......?" Gu Yunshu became more and more confused and stepped forward cautiously. From beginning to end, Xu Ming did not look back.

Soon, Gu Yunshu stood behind her, and she asked him to sit down opposite her. Until this moment, Gu Yunshu also found that Xu Ming's eyes had been closed.

This made Gu Yunshu even more puzzled. After a pause, seeing that Xu Ming still had no intention of opening his eyes, he finally couldn't help asking: "Um, may I ask what you are doing now..."

"Huh." Xu Ming hurriedly made a gesture to silence her, raised his hand and covered his eyes further, "Don't worry, don't worry - let me fix the picture again."

"?" Gu Yunshu frowned slightly, "Fix what?"

Xu Ming did not speak for a while, but still covered his eyes. After a long while, she raised her lips and said softly, "Didn't I just say that I have something to give you?"

"...Yeah." Gu Yunshu nodded in confusion, and her eyes swept across the table - except for a rule book lying upside down, she saw nothing.

Xu Ming touched his nose awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, I know I look weird now, but there's nothing I can do... I've been testing Xiao Xiao Guo several times these past two days, and when it comes to knowing spirits, it seems that only this way can I guarantee that my abilities can be used..."

Gu Yunshu: "...? Then?"

"Then..." Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person sitting opposite him, and smiled again, "Then, I think my gift has been delivered."

Gu Yunshu's confused look was reflected in his eyes. Xu Ming didn't say anything, but lowered his head and took away the upside-down rule book on the table - only to see a photo and a mirror under the rule book.

Because of the distance, Gu Yunshu couldn't see the content of the photo clearly, but instinctively felt a little familiar. The next second, Xu Ming suddenly reached out and handed the mirror face down to him.

"I may be overthinking this... but if possible, I hope you can eat together openly like everyone else.

" "So after this ability upgrade, I started thinking about this... The photos were commissioned by Teacher Jing, and she found the social platform you used before.

"Come to think of it, I've seen photos of Gu Yunshu before. In the archives of Hongqiang Company. Unfortunately, I didn't bring the file out, and it's been so long that I can't remember the details. So I can only ask Teacher Jing for help... But she can only find the platform you used when you were in school, so the photos will definitely be a little immature..."

She carefully observed Gu Yunshu's expression, and tentatively pushed the mirror forward: "Well, do you want to take a look first?"

"..." Gu Yunshu looked like he was completely stunned. She listened carefully to every word of Xu Ming's words, but it sounded like some kind of strange spell in her ears. She couldn't fully understand it, but it made her chest tremble inexplicably.

She slowly raised her eyes and met Xu Ming's encouraging gaze. After a moment of silence, she did not rush to take the camera, but slowly raised her hand and pressed her forehead.

She remembered very clearly that she had no hair on her forehead, because it would be inconvenient to wear a mask.

However, at this moment, she could clearly feel the thick touch of hair under her palm.

After two seconds of hesitation, she tentatively put her hand into the mask. Her fingers gently brushed across her cheeks, but what she felt was not the roughness of scars, but an unfamiliar smoothness and softness.

It seemed that there was even more flesh... Gu Yunshu's breathing stagnated slightly, and she pinched it again and again in disbelief. After a moment, she took a deep breath as if she had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly took the mirror from Xu Ming's hand, raised it and aimed it at her face

. After a moment of careful scrutiny, she carefully raised her hand and took off the mask that she almost never took off. In the mirror, a face was immediately reflected.

A face that was unfamiliar and familiar to her.

Thick, curtain-like bangs, round and fluffy jellyfish-like hair, and obviously wearing cosmetic contact lenses, showing exaggerated blue eyes... There were

also small, sparkling rhinestones stuck to the corners of the eyes. Gu Yunshu looked sideways for a moment, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and looked as if he was about to cry. After a few seconds, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Is this what I looked like in high school, or middle school?" She couldn't remember for a moment. She looked at it with longing eyes and managed only one sentence, "It really looked like a long time ago." "

Do you feel uncomfortable?" Xu Ming looked at her nervously, "If you don't like it, I'll think of a way to get some other photos..."

Gu Yunshu shook her head gently.

"No." She took a deep breath, "Thank you, I'm very happy."

"That's good." Xu Ming also sighed, "I should thank you."

"You've worked so hard during this period."

Gu Yunshu never said anything in front of her. Even when he couldn't help but scold someone, he would deliberately choose a time when she was not around. He always showed her a calm and reliable attitude.

But Xu Ming knew very well that even a truly decent organization would have a lot of trivialities to deal with, not to mention that they were just a makeshift team. It was just that someone would keep silent, holding a broom and dustpan, and sweeping away all the trivialities for her as much as possible in advance.

"Come to think of it, you don't have to take on a lot of things yourself." As if the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xu Ming paused for a moment and decisively changed the subject, "I think some of the simpler ones can also be shared with others...?!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shuddered, as if he was frightened by something. Gu Yunshu hurriedly raised his head and vigilantly swept around, until he saw the glass wall on the side, and finally understood why Xu Ming was frightened just now.

Outside the glass wall, I don't know when, several A Jiao came.

They were holding their drink cups, sipping from the pipes, and looking through the glass.

Their eyes were focused and envious.

Gu Yunshu: So, from which platform did you get this photo?

Xu Ming: Penguin Space.
