Chapter 4: Starting from ten years of secrecy, up to life imprisonment
“Really?”
Lin Zhuyue stood up, reluctantly took the hand extended by Wen Miyan, and complained,
"What's the choice? Who would choose a dead end over a lifeline?"
Wen Miyan laughed and said:
"Then I will reply to the Spiritual Master's Mansion. They will ask the relevant departments to help you complete the transfer procedures as quickly as possible."
Lin Zhuyue and Wen Miyan loosened their clasped hands and sat back in their seats.
Wen Miyan turned her head and said to Ye Yangjia:
"Although there were some issues with this commission, it was finally completed."
Ye Yangjia picked up a khaki cloth bag with a yin-yang fish pattern on it and placed it on the conference table. The bag seemed to contain something like a fish, which was struggling and causing the bag to deform continuously.
"This is the ghost of the woman in the women's restroom on the top floor of Building 3."
Ye Yangjia said to the school leaders whose faces changed suddenly,
"Although Wen Miyan and I weren't the main force against her, we still took her away. There's still some negative energy in the women's restroom, which could easily attract new ghosts. I left some talismans here. After seven days, the negative energy will be completely cleared, and you can use them at will then."
Principal Li stood up and expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome. There's another thing I need your cooperation with."
Wen Miyan took out a folder, a pen and a plate of ink from under the table. She opened the folder, took out the A4 paper printed with black Song font, and distributed them to everyone present except her, Ye Yangjia and Lin Zhuyue.
"Ghosts are 'secret' things, and the existence of the Heavenly City and the Spiritual Master's Mansion, which deal with ghosts, is also 'secret'. Please sign a confidentiality agreement, promising not to disclose this incident to anyone."
Lin Zhuyue muttered softly:
"Will I be struck by lightning if I disobey?"
Wen Miyan looked at the school leaders who were signing the confidentiality agreement. She waved her hand and said:
"You will go to jail. The sentence will be determined based on the severity of the information you disclosed. It starts from ten years and goes up to life."
Lin Zhuyue: "..."
The signed and fingerprinted confidentiality agreement was returned to Wen Miyan. After carefully checking it, Wen Miyan put the pages back into the folder and stuffed them into the backpack on another chair.
Ye Yangjia took the cloth bag containing the female ghost, stood up, and urged: "Let's go."
Wen Miyan followed with her schoolbag.
The two of them walked towards the door and both turned back to look at Lin Zhuyue who was still sitting at the table. Wen Miyan cleared her throat and reminded:
"I'm sorry, Zhuyue. Although your transfer procedures haven't been completed yet, according to the spiritual master protection regulations, you must return to Tiancheng with Ye Yangjia and me tonight."
Lin Zhuyue felt that this arrangement was a bit too hasty.
Lin Zhuyue looked at Bai Zhu.
As the head teacher of Class 5, Bai Zhu is not Lin Zhuyue's guardian, but he is the elder who has taken the most care of her during the more than two years that Lin Zhuyue has studied in No. 1 Middle School.
Lin Zhuyue wanted to say goodbye to him properly.
"Go ahead."
Bai Zhu was also a little reluctant, but as an adult, he controlled his emotions well and said to Lin Zhuyue,
"We still have a small meeting here regarding this matter, so I don't have time for now... We'll contact each other by phone later."
Lin Zhuyue nodded.
She followed the two people walking out and asked:
"Can I go home and pack my things? Some of my things won't get ruined if I leave them here, but I still want to take them with me."
"sure."
Wen Miyan took Lin Zhuyue's arm and said,
"Even though things seem pretty hectic, there's still some time to pack up some important things. Our car is downstairs, we'll take you home."
Lin Zhuyue hasn't forgotten his mount yet:
"Ah, but my bike is still down there..."
When Lin Zhuyue went downstairs, he found that the "our car" Wen Miyan was talking about was actually an extended version of Rolls-Royce.
Ye Yangjia opened the trunk containing the luggage, folded up the red bicycle parked nearby, covered it with a dustproof cloth and put it in the trunk.
Wen Miyan opened the back door and said:
"Zhuyue, get in the car."
Lin Zhuyue thanked him and got into the car. The back seat of the extended version of the Rolls-Royce was very spacious. Even without adjusting the seat, one could still freely place a pair of long legs and stretch them out whenever he wanted.
Wen Miyan got on the car from the other side.
Ye Yangjia got into the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out of the school.
Wen Miyan glanced at Lin Zhuyue out of the corner of her eye.
Most people would express surprise, caution, curiosity, and excitement when suddenly riding in a luxury car. But Lin Zhuyue remained calm. She simply glanced at the car's interior decorations before turning her head to look out the window. The night view captivated her more than a Rolls-Royce.
The car drove very steadily, and the diffuser wood with drops of sweet orange essential oil also emitted a soothing scent.
Just then, Ye Yangjia's cell phone rang.
Ye Yangjia threw the phone to Wen Miyan in the back seat:
"It's Shican calling, you answer."
"I'm calling your cell phone to find you."
Wen Miyan was not willing to answer this call.
"Why should I answer?"
Ye Yangjia thought about it and suggested:
"Then hang up."
Wen Miyan thought this was a good suggestion. She pressed the red hang-up button and swiped it upwards, hanging up the call directly.
Lin Zhuyue: "..."
Although I don’t know what’s going on exactly, I feel like these two people seem to hate Shican.
The car drove into the residential area where Lin Zhuyue lived.
This residential complex was planned eighteen years ago, and residents have been living there for fifteen years since its completion, so it's a bit dated. However, the community's infrastructure has been updated regularly, making it a comfortable place to live. Coupled with its proximity to various schools, housing prices remain high.
Ye Yangjia found a parking space and parked the Rolls-Royce.
Ye Yangjia asked, "What should we do with the bicycle? Should we take it to Tiancheng or leave it here?"
Lin Zhuyue asked, "Can I use a bicycle in Tiancheng?"
Wen Miyan stood in front of the trunk, looking at the dust bag containing the red bicycle, pretending to think, and said:
"The roads in Amagi...cycling might be a good way to get around."
Ye Yangjia moved the dust bag and suitcase to the side to make room for Lin Zhuyue's luggage.
"But in Tiancheng, bicycles are rare."
Wen Miyan nodded:
"Yes, there are no bicycles for sale in Tiancheng. Everyone either drives their own car or takes the city bus. The last time I saw a bicycle in Tiancheng was when a man was riding through the Qinling Mountains and fell into Tiancheng with his bicycle."
Lin Zhuyue found it a little unbelievable:
"Is Tiancheng in the Qinling Mountains?"
"No, on the island."
Wen Miyan opened the map on her phone.
"The existence of Tiancheng is top secret. Satellite maps won't show it, but it's probably here. The Qinling Mountains are just a portal, set up because we often practice there."
It sounds even more magical.
Lin Zhuyue looked at the map and found that Tiancheng was located in the southeast sea area, not far from the land, but not close either.
Ye Yangjia packed up the trunk and said:
"Your food, clothing, housing and transportation will be taken care of for no more than a week. Tiancheng will take care of everything. You only need to pack the clothes you will be wearing in the near future and the things you want to take with you no matter what."
Wen Miyan added:
"You'd better bring shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel too. Although Tiancheng sells toiletries, they're mostly low-quality brands that dry out and tangle your hair. Boys are better off. Before I can leave Tiancheng for a mission, I often have to ask people who can go out to buy shampoo for me."
"ah……?"
Lin Zhuyue suddenly felt that the conditions in Tiancheng seemed a little difficult. He touched his hair and said,
"I don't have much shampoo left. I need to buy some new. Can we go to the supermarket later?"
Ye Yangjia closed the trunk and locked the car.
Three boys and girls of similar age chatted as they entered the hallway. Lin Zhuyue pressed the up button on the elevator. The elevator stopped at the first floor and opened within seconds.
The three of them got on the elevator. Lin Zhuyue pressed the button for the twelfth floor and then pressed the door closing button. The elevator door closed quickly and the car rose up.
"Of course we can go to the supermarket. I also want to buy some. The junior school girl in the elementary school department also asked me for help..."
Wen Miyan's cheerful voice suddenly stopped.
"...Ye Yangjia."
Ye Yangjia nodded: "Yeah, I feel it."
Lin Zhuyue was about to ask what was going on when the elevator arrived at the twelfth floor. With a "ding dong" sound, the doors of the elevator opened to both sides.
Wen Miyan stretched out her hand and stopped Lin Zhuyue in the elevator.
Ye Yangjia bent slightly, and when the door opened wide enough for one person to pass through, he shot out like an arrow. A fiery red light appeared and disappeared in his hand, and vaguely it could be seen that it was a gun. After a few bangs, a cloud of black mist dissipated.
Ye Yangjia said: "Safe."
Wen Miyan pulled Lin Zhuyue's wrist and walked out of the elevator. She stomped her feet, and the voice-controlled light was awakened, and the orange light illuminated the corridor.
Lin Zhuyue was very surprised.
There was such a loud noise just now, but the voice-controlled light in the corridor didn’t light up?
There were a few copper coins at Ye Yangjia's feet.
"Small Five Emperors Coins."
Ye Yangjia picked up the copper coin and said,
"I've beaten the ghost, it's no use anymore. I'll go out and dig a hole to bury it later."
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Ghost?"
"It must have been attracted by your spiritual power."
Ye Yangjia nodded and explained,
"Your spiritual power is very strong. Because it just erupted and awakened last night, you don't know how to restrain it yet. In the eyes of a person like me, you are like a burning fire, but in the eyes of spirits, you are a delicious snack."
Wen Miyan corrected:
"It should be a giant cake, or a magic pill. After taking it, I'll soar to the sky and definitely be on the Tiancheng wanted list."
"Don't worry about such details."
Ye Yangjia said to Lin Zhuyue,
"Open the door, cupcake."
Lin Zhuyue, who had changed several titles in the blink of an eye: "..."
After experiencing so many incredible things in such a short period of time, Lin Zhuyue was now able to face some things calmly. She opened the door with her fingerprint, turned on the lights at home, and invited Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia into the house.
