Chapter 019 Chapter 19
Xia Meng blurted out: "Why are you here?"
Li Zhou opened his mouth to answer, when he heard faint footsteps on the stairs behind him. He quickly stood up, raised his hand and pulled Xia Meng into the box in front of her.
The wooden door of the box closed gently.
The box is semi-open, which means that people in the next box can even see what is happening here.
Li Zhou gently pushed Xia Meng into the corner behind the box door, making sure that no one would notice them.
As a result, the two of them inevitably got very close to each other.
Xia Meng stuck her head out from his chest and tilted her head to listen to the other side of the wooden door. The sound of passing footsteps came from far away, then got closer and closer, and then faded away at a steady speed.
The theater was dimly lit and the performance was about to begin.
No one will notice them.
Li Zhou finally let her go.
But he didn't step away. He simply looked down at her from this distance, lowered his voice, and answered her previous question: "I felt like something was wrong with you, so I came here."
Xia Meng opened her eyes slightly wide when she heard this.
Why does this sound a bit... huh?
Did he mean that he sensed she was in danger, so he came to save her?
Do they have the kind of relationship where they would go through fire and water for each other?
Or are all of these sentinels so brave and loyal?
Ah! She was so touched!
From today on, she unilaterally certified that the two of them were good friends who had been through thick and thin together!
Xia Meng looked up touchedly: "Thank you! You are such a good person!"
Li Zhou paused and looked at her quietly for a few seconds.
Then he curled the corners of his lips at her: "You're welcome."
He smiled a little happily and said seriously, "This is the first time someone has said I'm a good person."
Xia Meng was surprised. How could that be possible? He was so warm, friendly, and helpful!
It felt like he was helping her every time they met.
What a good person!
Now that Li Zhou is here, things seem to be much easier.
He seems much more useful than Ou Xu.
——Of course, she didn’t mean to look down on Ou Xu.
The main reason was that he had now become the "heroine chosen by the ghost" and was unable to take care of himself, leaving him with very little energy to spare.
Moreover, Xia Meng had to be on guard against him being controlled by the ghost and stabbing her in the back.
Oh, it’s too difficult.
At this moment, the opening prelude finally came from the direction of the stage.
Swan Lake begins.
Li Zhou looked over when he heard the sound and saw a young man in a white ballet skirt walking onto the stage with graceful dance steps.
He: "..." What's going on here? Is it so weird?
Xia Meng coughed.
It's over. I accidentally let Comrade Ou Xu die again.
She silently lit a candle for him in her heart.
Then he turned around and described to Li Zhou everything that had happened since they came in.
The two men dragged the chairs in the box to the corner and sat down to exchange information.
Xia Meng asked: "What about you? Did you notice anything wrong after you came in?"
Unfortunately, Li Zhou knew very little.
"I just came in." Li Zhou said, "I haven't had time to explore the surroundings yet."
Xia Meng nodded.
It doesn't matter, it's not too late to go and explore now.
She asked, "How are you going to investigate?"
Li Zhou said, "Let my spiritual body go. The spiritual body can be more concealed."
Speaking of this, Xia Meng became very interested.
She did not forget the despair she felt last night when she and Ergou were talking at cross purposes and looking at each other in bewilderment.
It is said that the spirits of other people's homes can communicate with their owners' minds and without any obstacles.
Even the black-faced sheep in Ou Xu's family could roll on the ground and cry in sync with Ou Xu.
Why can’t her Zi Han... Oh no, her Er Gou be used?
Is it Ergou's problem or her problem?
Xia Meng thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with her and Ergou.
I just haven’t found the right way yet!
As long as she finds the right method, with the intelligence and talent inherited from her and Ergou, she will definitely be able to understand it immediately!
She pulled Li Zhou aside and humbly asked for advice: "When you send your spirit out to investigate, can you take mine with you?"
Li Zhou: "Together?"
Xia Meng nodded hurriedly: "Yes, let my dog learn how to investigate, and let me learn how to communicate with the spirit."
She rubbed her hands expectantly.
Li Zhou thought for a moment and nodded.
"Sure, no problem."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it lightly. The light blue translucent mental power instantly passed through the door panel and reached the other side with his wave of the hand.
He has released his spirit body.
Li Zhou then looked at Xia Meng.
Xia Meng coughed.
She still couldn't control the timing of Ergou's appearance. Every time before, Ergou appeared on his own initiative.
It was in her arms just now, but in just a short while, it disappeared again.
She said to herself: Give me some face!
He snapped his fingers and called out softly, "Ergou?"
As the words fell, a flowing blue light with star-like dots flashed before his eyes.
The blue light gathered together and formed a fluffy ball of wool.
Er Gouzi really came out.
It first looked at Li Zhou, then took two steps at a time and quickly jumped into Xia Meng's arms.
Xia Meng was a little surprised: "What happened to it?"
"Oh." Li Zhou was not surprised and answered calmly, "They are probably afraid of me. I feel that most spirits are afraid of me."
Xia Meng was puzzled: "Why?"
Does he look scary?
Not really. He is so handsome and outstanding. I feel like he can be thrown into those large-scale talent shows with just a little sprucing up. He can debut as the center just based on his beauty.
Or is it because he is too strong?
But... is it wrong to be strong? Should being too strong be feared?
Is this fair to him?
It would be fine if it was an unrelated person, but since the two of them were close friends who had been through thick and thin together, she couldn't just sit back and watch.
And when he said this, his tone sounded rather lonely.
Xia Meng felt a surge of sympathy and comforted him, "Don't worry, our Ergou is very brave!"
He patted Ergou's head and said, "Right, Ergou?"
Ergou seemed unable to resist Xia Meng's encouragement.
It starts to swell when encouraged.
Hearing this, it puffed up its little head and chest, and proudly took two inflated steps towards Li Zhou.
The big tail swayed fluffily behind it.
Small creatures like weasels have a bit of quirkiness in their temperament.
Especially the one belonging to Xia Meng, it feels particularly lively and agile.
Li Zhou leaned towards it slightly with some curiosity.
Xia Meng said generously: "Come, you can touch its head."
Li Zhou hesitated for a moment, then carefully extended his finger and stopped it one centimeter above its head.
He originally wanted to give the little ferret some time to get used to his approach, but this little guy seemed to be as brave as Xia Meng said.
Seeing that he stopped, it simply stood up and rubbed its little head against his finger.
Li Zhou felt it was a little magical.
This was the first time that another person's spirit was willing to approach him.
This experience is so precious.
He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it again, but when he did, he didn't dare to move any further.
Such a tiny thing, not much bigger than half his arm.
It was a long, thin, and soft thing, and he felt like he would hurt it if he used even a little force.
His cautious look made Xia Meng laugh.
"Why are you being so cautious? Are you afraid it might bite you?"
Li Zhou hesitated a little: "I'm afraid I might hurt it if I'm not careful."
This made Xia Meng feel a little strange. "Have you really never come into contact with other people's spirit bodies? I heard that most guides' spirit bodies are small animals like this, tiny ones."
Li Zhou shook his head.
He said truthfully, “I haven’t had much contact with other guides.”
Xia Meng blinked.
Her intuition told her that if she continued to ask, it might involve his privacy.
She paused measuredly, nodded, and changed the subject, saying, "Time is running out, so let's hurry up. I'll let Ergou follow your spirit, and then you can teach me how to communicate with my own spirit, okay?"
Li Zhou: "Okay."
Xia Meng snapped her fingers: "Go, Ergou! Study hard! Don't be lazy!"
Before she finished her words, Xia Meng was stunned.
Why does this sound so familiar?
It was as if she had heard Lao Wang repeating this in her ear countless times before.
——Study hard! Don’t be lazy!
——Read the materials carefully! Don’t sleep! !
Now she even began to educate Ergou in his tone unconsciously.
Ah, how could this be!
The educational bullet that Lao Wang shot back then has now hit him right in the heart!
Fortunately, Ergou was much more aware than her and had no intention of arguing with her first.
It squeaked twice, jumped up from her legs, and slid through the wall with its short legs.
As soon as I walked out the door, I ran into a huge monster head-on.
Ergou was caught off guard and hit his head hard.
“Squeak…”
It shook its head dizzily and subconsciously tilted its neck upwards to see what it had bumped into.
As a result, I couldn't see the true appearance of Mount Lu even though I tilted my head all the way up.
Ergou jumped back a few steps, then a few more steps.
Then I finally saw the face of the big guy in front of me clearly——
What a big golden face!
It was the face of a blond lion.
The golden mane was thick and lush, making the face look twice as big.
It is more than ten times bigger than Ergou.
Its body length is more than three meters, and its tail alone is one meter long.
Its body was squeezed into the corridor, blocking the aisle tightly.
At first glance, it's very oppressive.
With every breath, Ergou felt like he was facing a hurricane and could hardly open his eyes.
The little ferret froze instantly.
There was a "ji" sound, as if someone took a deep breath of cold air.
The tail suddenly stood up and exploded, and the creature was petrified on the spot with fear.
The big lion tilted its head and stretched out its huge claws. When it reached in front of it, it paused, as if it remembered something, then slowly retracted its sharp claws and wanted to pat the little thing with its paw pads.
In the box, Li Zhou suddenly raised his head as if he realized something and frowned unhappily.
Outside the door, the big lion immediately shrank his hands guiltily.
It shook its long tail, stood up and turned around. As the light blue mental power changed, the lion's huge body disappeared, and soon the bits of mental power gathered together again.
The next second, a golden kitten walked out from the ball of spiritual power.
It is about the same size as Ergou, but slightly larger.
The golden kitten walked forward with its tail wagging, circled around the petrified Ergou, raised its pink and tender paw pads and pushed it again.
This finally brought Ergou back to his senses.
The mongoose and the cat looked at each other.
The cat waved at it with a cold and arrogant look, signaling it to hurry up and follow, then wagged its tail and walked forward on its own.
Ergou stood there at a loss for a long time.
It was not until the cat meowed at it in a distant place that it started to wake up and followed reluctantly.
…
In the box, Xia Meng had no idea what was happening outside the door.
She had just asked Li Zhou how to communicate with her spiritual body.
In actual operation, it is not difficult.
Just try to resonate with your own spiritual power.
The Black Tower has a special department responsible for training newly awakened sentries.
For example, learning how to condense the spiritual body and how to get along with the spiritual body are both compulsory courses after awakening.
Xia Meng's case is indeed an exception.
According to Director Bai's expectations, he had planned to proceed step by step. After Xia Meng was familiarized with the guide center by Ou Xu on the first day, he would arrange for her to attend an awakening course in the afternoon.
Who would have thought that Xia Meng didn't even make it to the end of the first day of work.
Plans really can't keep up with changes.
Li Zhou explained in detail: "...Then you can try closing your eyes and feeling every inch of your spiritual power. As well as that part of your spiritual body, imagine that it is a part of your body, your eyes, your ears, your wings."
Xia Mengxin said, brother, the last few sentences are a bit abstract.
But fortunately, Xia Meng was familiar with the place.
After all, the discipline of psychology itself is very abstract.
After trying twice, she was soon able to see the world in front of Ergou through her mental power.
She saw that from Ergou's perspective, it was following a golden long-haired cat.
Xia Meng exclaimed in surprise, "Is your spirit form actually a cat? So cute? I want to rub it."
Li Zhou nodded silently.
Xia Meng: "What's its name?"
Li Zhou paused for a few seconds, quickly grabbed a name in his mind, and then calmly uttered two words: "Cat."
Xia Meng: "Ah?"
In her sight, the cat that was originally walking gracefully suddenly froze, then turned its head and glared at her with a look of half dissatisfaction and half resentment.
Ergou: “……?”
