Chapter 29: Aftermath
Qiu Wuji's sudden robbery caused Chu Ge's plan to call the police to fail.
No one carries cash with them these days, but this thief was a little bit special. Perhaps it was inconvenient for people like them to leave traces when doing some transactions, so he actually had cash on him. A brand new 10,000 yuan, thickly stuffed in his trouser pocket, very much like the commission he had just received... He also had a gold chain and a Rolex on him.
Qiu Wuji also knew that money has a pattern these days, so he wanted to threaten the other party to transfer money to her WeChat, but was firmly stopped by the sweaty Chu Ge: "No matter how much you delete his memory and destroy his phone, if he finds out that the money is gone, he will still be able to find the transfer record through various means. Or if he falls into the hands of the police, the police will also check his various transaction records. This is asking for trouble."
"Oh." Qiu Wuji gave up helplessly. He thought about it and decided not to take the gold chain and watch that needed to be sold. He just took the cash and then decisively erased the thief's memory.
Qiu Wuji looked at the thick cash in his hand and asked, "Is this your banknote?"
Chu Ge had no expression on his face: "Hmm..."
"Does this denomination correspond to the numbers in your WeChat?"
"Um……"
"That's fine, it's faster than what you make from writing books." Qiu Wuji was happy: "I can pay you back now. I told you I can definitely make money."
Chugo: “…Yeah.”
Qiu Wuji carried the unconscious thief out and said, "I thought about it and decided that it's not good to keep the memory at the moment when we first entered the house. It's better to keep the memory at a farther place. He suddenly fell unconscious and didn't know who attacked him. Even the incident in our community was forgotten. You don't have to report to the police. Just wait for him to wake up. This has nothing to do with us. If you insist on arresting him, you can also report that someone was found unconscious outside. It has nothing to do with us anyway..."
Chu Ge followed her out with his arm around hers, and saw that her hand was still covered with white light. He was careful not to leave any traces of contact with the thief, and was speechless for a long time.
Why are you so skilled at doing this kind of thing... Well, it’s dad’s fault for not writing you well.
But there is no way, the fighting in immortal cultivation stories these days is very cruel, if not like this, you can't survive... Alas...
The road was deserted at noon. Qiu Wuji used an invisibility spell and swaggered away the thief in the green belt of the road two blocks away.
Chu Ge watched from a distance and thought that he probably didn't need to call the police. Although this place was far from the city center, it was not in the wilderness. There were still business districts nearby and there were many people. A person lying in the green belt was very conspicuous. It would be discovered by passers-by in a few minutes, and naturally someone would call the police.
If this kind of thief had not mistakenly entered Qiu Wuji's den, but mistakenly entered the room of another ordinary person, then others would have been in trouble... This kind of bastard should not be left to fend for himself, he must be handed over to the police.
He stood far away and watched for a while. Sure enough, someone soon discovered it and ran to find the security guard at the gate of a nearby community. The security guard checked it and quickly called the police. Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiu Wuji stood beside him, and seeing him relieved, he suddenly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uneasy?"
"Um……"
"Because I robbed you?"
"That's partly true. Anyway, don't do this in our world anymore. Something bad will happen sooner or later, unless you really want to go to a war-torn area and become a big boss - but I don't want to do that either."
"Then you didn't stop me firmly, isn't it because you want money too?"
Chu Ge raised his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No. I need money, but I don't want to make it this way. Well... maybe for you, ill-gotten gains are fine, and it's common for practitioners to rob each other of treasures, but it's not appropriate in the education I've received since I was a child."
Qiu Wuji looked a little surprised. Isn't it because of what you wrote that I did this...
Then Chu Ge laughed and said, "But the reason you have that idea is because of the setting of my world. Maybe it's my inner thought, hahaha, so I don't know how to stop you. I said, I'm worried that you'll get addicted to making money too quickly, and get into trouble if you do it too much, not because of this incident itself. In fact, I feel pretty good about teaching this kind of thief a lesson, haha..."
Qiu Wuji nodded slightly: "Okay, I see, I will pay attention... You said this is only part of the reason, then what is the main reason? Because it touched the extraordinary world?"
"Yes." Chu Ge looked at the sky in the distance and whispered, "Perhaps everyone has a dream of a supernatural world or a martial arts fairy deep in their hearts, imagining that they can leave this ordinary life and be omnipotent with a sword... But when such a thing really happens, I don't know how many people will be like Ye Gong who loves dragons too much. Anyway, I feel a little bit. The feeling that my good life is about to be disrupted will naturally make me feel a little uneasy."
He paused and laughed at himself: "I am just an ordinary person who has lived an ordinary life for more than 20 years."
Qiu Wuji tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly said, "But you have desires in your heart, so it's contradictory."
"Yeah. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't eager to try it out. But this is very contradictory."
"Heh... a man who can create the world, a man who can create a living being that runs to his home to cook for him, says that he is just an ordinary man." Qiu Wuji smiled: "If my father God is just an ordinary man, then aren't ordinary people pigs and dogs?"
Chu Ge: "...I don't even know how you got out. It's not like I have any ability."
"So what? Are the talents and abilities awakened by others their own abilities? Aren't they all sent from the sky? Some people use them to do mean things, some use them to show their talents, and some are content to live a simple and happy life. What kind of life you live depends entirely on your own choice?" Qiu Wuji said calmly: "The reason why you are uneasy is nothing more than weakness. If you are strong enough, who can control your life?"
Chu Ge looked into her eyes and said, "You are strong enough that even the Father God was almost chopped to death and forced to change your destiny, right?"
Qiu Wuji seemed to have guessed what he was thinking at the moment. The two looked at each other for a moment and smiled at the same time.
Sirens were heard in the distance; the police were coming.
The two stopped communicating and watched the police torture the thief, question the community security guard who was caught in the shooting, and retrieve the community surveillance footage, all in an orderly manner.
To Chu Ge's surprise, he met an acquaintance.
Lin Wuyang.
Chu Ge didn't know much about the police system and felt a little puzzled - this guy was not from the police academy. They were classmates studying Chinese Language and Literature, and he should have taken a civilian job after taking the civil service exam. Why was he the one to be dispatched on this police mission?
And he looked like a small leader, walking around with his hands behind his back, as if observing the scene, with two young policemen following behind him.
Lin Wuyang walked around for a while and saw Chu Ge standing in the crowd in the distance. He was stunned for a moment: "You live here?"
"No, I'm a few blocks away. I'm just passing by to watch the fun." Before Lin Wuyang came over, Qiu Wuji had already retreated silently. There were still quite a lot of people watching. Chu Ge mixed in the crowd without feeling guilty, so he greeted them openly: "Have you been transferred to the criminal police?"
"Well... about the same." Lin Wuyang didn't elaborate. His previous careless nature when chatting online was long gone. Now he was serious and solemn: "Have you seen any strange things or new faces in these days?"
"I don't even know anyone in the same building, let alone two blocks away. Who knows who is considered a stranger?" Chu Ge said unhappily, "You'll get the same answer if you ask others. That's just how it is these days."
Lin Wuyang nodded. This was true. They were no longer old neighbors who knew each other across the street. Nowadays, who knew who? Who was considered a stranger? Besides, the man was left on the main road outside. He might not even be related to the nearby community. It was still more reliable to check the surveillance.
As they were talking, a policeman came over in a hurry, his expression stern: "Lin Ke, check the surveillance."
Lin Wuyang glanced at Chu Ge and said, "Let's talk later. Now let's get down to business."
Chu Ge waved his hand: "No problem, it's Lin Ke... I'll wait for you to treat me to a meal next time."
Lin Wuyang smiled and left with the policeman.
It's not that I'm being pretentious. Police officers can't have outsiders listen in on a case, no matter it's an extraordinary event or an ordinary one. This is discipline. I hope Chu Ge doesn't think he's being pretentious. After being in society for a long time, he will feel that friendship with classmates is still worth cherishing, at least it's much purer.
The policeman next to him was reporting quietly: "The man suddenly appeared in the green belt. There was no trace of him in front or behind. He just appeared so suddenly."
"Got it." Lin Wuyang sighed softly, "Let's pack up... We have been trying to catch the wall-walker for so long without any clues, and we didn't expect to find it here by accident. Following this line, I think we can hand in the materials from President Gu."
"The one who left him here..."
"Let's go back and interrogate them first. If it's a dog-eat-dog situation, that's the best... Even if there really are other unknown superpowers, this operation is like doing favors for the police. According to the spirit, if someone wants to live their life well, you are not allowed to interfere at will. The privacy and legitimate rights of citizens must be protected. There is no point in snooping around."
Chu Ge also turned around and squeezed out of the crowd to find Qiu Wuji. As soon as he got out, he saw a girl in black standing under a telephone pole in the distance, quietly watching the noise here.
Seeing him looking at her, the girl turned and left, disappearing in an instant.
