Chapter 046 Chapter 46
As soon as the master arrived, Xia Meng felt as if she had found her backbone.
Wang Xiangyi has always been decisive and resolute.
With a quick and decisive move, not only did he straighten out her own situation, but he also put the leaderless psychiatric department back on track. He reviewed the medical records of all the patients that Xia Meng had previously taken over, and made slight adjustments to their medications.
During this period, Director Bai came over and almost cried like Xia Meng, holding Wang Xiangyi's trouser legs.
He even clamored to simply step down and let Wang Xiangyi be the director of the guide center.
Of course, Wang Xiangyi retorted after he finished speaking.
"Give up on this idea. If I weren't worried about Xiao Xia, do you think I would be willing to set foot in the Black Tower again?"
Xia Meng was deeply moved.
He immediately turned into the master's little follower, serving tea and water, rubbing shoulders and backs, without any complaints.
Wang Xiangyi temporarily settled down in the psychiatric department's office.
The desk is just opposite Xia Meng's desk.
On the first day of the instructor's appointment, he first organized all the cases that Xia Meng had previously encountered into documents, and then began to formulate her growth and learning plan.
Xia Meng was massaging his back while peeking at her master writing on paper.
Wang Xiangyi's handwriting is very distinctive.
When he writes on the blackboard, his handwriting is vigorous and powerful, with a sense of vigor and vitality; when he takes notes for himself in private, his handwriting is as sloppy as a doctor's prescription, and he writes whatever he wants.
Anyway, Xia Meng still hasn't understood his second set of handwriting.
While massaging his shoulders, she whispered, "Master...how long are you planning to keep me here in the Black Pagoda?"
When Director Bai came here before, he also asked about Wang Xiangyi's salary.
Since he has become Xia Meng's instructor, he can't be asked to work for nothing.
In the Black Tower, instructors can also receive an additional work allowance.
As a result, Wang Xiangyi refused without even thinking about it.
If it weren't for Xia Meng, he would never have wanted to have anything to do with Heita Car again.
He only accepted a temporary advisory role.
Wang Xiangyi didn't stop and glanced at her calmly: "How long do you want it to last?"
Xia Meng quickly said in a servile manner, "Of course the longer the better! With you here to protect me, I can walk around the Black Tower with ease, how great is that?"
Wang Xiangyi chuckled twice: "That's nice to think about. I can only stay here for two months at most."
Xia Meng opened her eyes wide: "Why only two months? It's too short! Can't half a year be enough?"
Wang Xiangyi: "If it weren't for the upcoming summer vacation, you wouldn't even have these two months."
Xia Meng thought so too.
Now all the major universities have entered the exam week one after another, which means Wang Xiangyi doesn't have to attend classes during the summer vacation, so he has time to come to the Black Tower to support her.
Wang Xiangyi is already over sixty years old. It would be too ignorant for her, his last disciple, to ask him to run back and forth between the school's black towers with his old bones in such hot weather.
Xia Meng hurriedly patted Lao Wang's shoulder again: "Okay, okay, I will try my best to learn more in these two months and not let you worry."
Xia Meng is sweet-talker.
Old Wang has always been a fan of hers.
He hummed a satisfied "hmm", put down the pen in his hand, closed his eyes and enjoyed his apprentice's shoulder massage service, and said slowly: "Two months is enough time for you to learn something."
Wang Xiangyi's statement was very conservative.
But Xia Meng knew that since he had already spoken, she would definitely learn more than just a little.
Xia Meng asked curiously, "Where are you going to start teaching?"
Wang Xiangyi opened his eyes and scanned the draft in front of him, which only he could understand. He twirled his pen and said thoughtfully, "Let me teach you how to protect yourself first."
Xia Meng: "Ah?"
Wang Xiangyi leaned back in his swivel chair, turned slightly sideways, and raised an eyebrow at Xia Meng: "What? Aren't you worried that what happened today will happen again?"
Xia Meng realized that Wang Xiangyi was talking about the incident when Ning Yi pounced on her today.
She was a little embarrassed.
Xia Meng rubbed the tip of her nose: "Ahem... I originally thought it was nothing."
Wang Xiangyi frowned, disapproving. "How can this be? Leaving this matter alone will cause hidden dangers. Don't think this is a small matter. You have now reached 80% with the majority of Sentinels. Who knows how many Sentinels are watching you? Do you think he is the only one who wants to mark you? Today he still has some rationality. What if one day you encounter a Sentinel who really has plans for you, and has been planning for a long time and is determined to get you? What will you do then?"
Finally, Wang Xiangyi said earnestly, "The seal engraved on Shao Xiangjian... This is a matter of great importance to Shao Xiang's life. You must remember this."
Xia Meng lowered her head.
really.
If the person who had the combination fever today was not Ning Yi.
If Li Zhou hadn’t arrived on time today.
...Maybe she'll really have to have another sentinel bound to her for life.
That's too tragic.
It is indeed necessary for Wang Xiangyi to be on high alert.
Moreover, it is foreseeable that such situations will only become more frequent, not less, in the future.
Xia Meng asked doubtfully, "Then where are you going to start teaching me?"
Wang Xiangyi said slowly, "Let's start tomorrow morning. I'll help you find a sparring partner."
Xia Meng: "Hmm?"
…
Lao Wang is always like this, habitually keeping people in suspense.
Xia Meng is used to it.
Okay, so Xia Meng didn't ask any more questions.
At noon, she took Wang Xiangyi to eat at the Black Tower restaurant.
For some reason, as soon as the two of them stepped into the restaurant, they felt the eyes around them visibly converging on them.
More people were looking at her, and many were looking at Wang Xiangyi.
Wang Xiangyi is a new face.
He is quite old, and judging by his appearance and aura, he seems to be a senior executive of the Black Tower, but no one knows him.
Everyone looked at each other and asked each other in a low voice.
"Who is that old man walking next to Dr. Xia?"
"I don't know. I feel like the mental fluctuations should be a guide? Is there such a leader in the Guidance Center?"
"No, I don't remember the director of the guide center looking like this."
"What's the relationship between Dr. Xia and him? Could he be Dr. Xia's father?"
"Judging from his age, he might be her grandfather?"
"Hoo-hoo, just be sure you're not a sentry. Don't try to steal my wife."
"That's hilarious! How did she become your wife? Even if that S-rank wasn't with her, it wouldn't be your turn!"
"That's right! Doctor Xia is obviously my wife!"
“Roll, roll, roll…”
There was a commotion all around.
Xia Meng has long been accustomed to all kinds of gazes.
It was like this when she was in school. No matter where she went, she was always noticed and talked about.
But Wang Xiangyi was not used to it and did not like it.
He scanned the entire audience with an imposing gaze, glaring back at those scrutinizing and gossiping looks one by one.
As expected of the professor's gaze, those eyes were soon secretly withdrawn, and even the discussions died down.
Xia Meng simply ordered a few dishes.
The master and disciple had a simple meal.
After finishing his meal, Wang Xiangyi slowly wiped his mouth and said, "Don't arrange any counseling this afternoon. Go back and have a good rest. I'll meet you at the Special Service Center at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Xia Meng was stunned when she heard this.
Lao Wang sounded as if she was going to have a tough battle tomorrow.
Xia Meng scratched her head.
Okay, whatever the master says is what it is.
…
So, halfway through her lunch break, Xia Meng set out on her way home from get off work.
Along the way, her mind was full of thoughts: If she left like this, Director Bai would not consider her leaving early, right?
She hasn't received a penny of her 300,000 yuan monthly salary yet, so don't deduct 5,000 yuan from her.
It was not until she arrived at the subway station that news from Comrade Ou Xu finally arrived.
[Ou Xu: What's going on? Where are you? I heard you left work.]
[Xia Meng: ...Well, my master gave me half a day off.]
[Ou Xu: ...Did your master really come to the Black Pagoda?]
[Ou Xu: When we were having dinner the other day, I overheard their conversation and it seemed like your master had a strong opinion of the Black Pagoda. It's only been a short while, and they've already put aside their differences?]
[Xia Meng: Don't mention it. I'm probably even more dissatisfied now.]
[Ou Xu: ...? ]
[Ou Xu: I heard about Ning Yi's incident. Are you okay?]
【Xia Meng: It’s okay.】
Ou Xu: Oh, I'm glad you're okay. [pats head]
[Ou Xu: Your situation is very special. You should be careful in your daily life.]
【Xia Meng: Yes, I know.】
There was a pause in the message from Ou Xu, probably still a little worried, so he sent another message:
[Ou Xu: ...Why don't you just not go alone? I'll take you back.]
[Ou Xu: Please wait for me at the subway station. I'll be downstairs soon.]
Xia Meng found it a little funny and a little touched.
To be honest, Ou Xu is a really good person.
She raised the corners of her lips and typed happily:
Xia Meng: No need to bother, buddy. I'm only two stops away from home, what could possibly go wrong?
[Xia Meng: Besides, lunch break is almost over, and you still have counseling to do in the afternoon.]
[Xia Meng: Okay, I appreciate your kindness.]
[Ou Xu: ...Okay.]
【Ou Xu: Then be careful.】
"Miss, you smell so good."
Xia Meng raised her eyes from the phone screen.
The subway hasn't arrived yet.
There were not many passengers waiting on the platform at this time.
Xia Meng stood in a relatively inner position, with no one around her.
That strange voice came from nowhere.
A gust of wind blew towards her, giving Xia Meng goosebumps for no reason.
She looked around subconsciously.
Confirm that no one is approaching him within a distance of ten meters.
But the voice just now sounded as if someone was standing behind her and speaking.
"Miss, are you looking for me?"
The voice came from behind her again, so close that she could almost feel the person's warm breath brushing against her ear as he spoke.
Xia Meng suddenly turned around again.
I found that there was still no one behind me.
sentinel?
Was it a psychic sentinel? Did it directly affect her mind and cause her hallucinations?
Or is it a special ability? Is there any special ability that can transmit secrets through the air?
Xia Meng's face darkened, and she swept a cold gaze over everyone around her.
The voice sounded like that of a man in his twenties who had already passed the voice change period, and his voice was a little deliberately low and hoarse.
It is difficult to judge the person's specific age and appearance based on the voice alone.
Xia Meng could only judge from the expressions of the people around her.
But the people around her seemed to have been paying attention to her, with vague gazes everywhere.
None of them look alike.
But Xia Meng could feel a sticky gaze always resting on her back.
She frowned a little uncomfortably.
I'm afraid I've met a pervert.
This person probably enjoys the feeling of being able to peek in the dark.
Enjoy the target's panic or fear.
This would make him happier.
Why.
Xia Meng sighed.
I have been exposed to many mental illnesses in my daily life, so when I suddenly encountered this kind of pure perversion, I felt that it was somewhat refreshing and unworldly.
This was not the first time Xia Meng had encountered such a person.
I encountered this before when I was in school.
The man would squat at the school gate for a long time, and every time he would wait for her to get out of school, he would follow her and try to follow her home.
Xia Meng played hide-and-seek with him for a week, but later got tired of it and called the police.
During that week, various surveillance videos recorded that person's actions, and he had no way to defend himself and was directly detained for fifteen days.
Fifteen days later, the man came out and found their school, intending to repeat the same trick. As soon as he arrived at the school gate, he found that his photos were posted everywhere at the school gate.
High-definition and uncensored, even the mole at the corner of his mouth is clearly visible.
As soon as he appeared, someone recognized him, pointed at him and shouted, "That's the pervert!!"
The man was so scared that he ran away and never appeared in front of Xia Meng again.
This is also the case for ordinary people.
The sentinels will probably only be more troublesome and more difficult to deal with.
Xia Meng felt helpless.
In the current situation, there are so many people on the subway, and if she doesn't do something, he might just follow her home.
If he found out where she lived, it would be even more troublesome.
Or maybe it’s better to strike first?
Xia Meng calmed down and calmly thought of a way to deal with the situation.
She raised her head and watched the subway slowly slow down and enter the station in the distance.
Xia Meng pretended not to pay attention to the voice. When the subway stopped and the doors opened, she put her hands in her pockets and got on the train with a calm face.
She chose a seat by the window and sat down.
She took out her earphones and put them in her ears.
Turn on the music, blocking out all distracting sounds.
At this time, the voice sounded again.
The man seemed to follow her into the car.
"Sister, what song are you listening to?" The voice was very close, and the breath seemed to be brushing her cheek.
Xia Meng remained calm, not even her eyelids twitching.
The subway stopped at the terminal for a few minutes and was about to start again.
The car door made a "beep, beep, beep" sound.
After three rings, the car door is about to close.
In a flash, Xia Meng suddenly looked up, stood up and rushed towards the car door that was about to close.
She tilted her body slightly and rushed out almost brushing against the gap between the two doors.
She felt a resistance on her arm, as if the person was trying to grab her.
Xia Meng was pulled so hard that she almost fell down.
But fortunately, she had already rushed out of the car.
She had calculated everything the moment she took action.
The ideal situation was that she could just get rid of him and take other means of transportation back.
Then it would be useless whether he waited for her at the next stop or took the next subway back.
If he reacted quickly enough and got out of the car with her in time, Xia Meng would also have a way to deal with it -
He shouldn't dare to mess around near the Black Tower.
And she could just go back to the Black Tower and ask for help.
Xia Meng was pulled by the man's huge force and immediately lost her balance. She was about to fall to the ground in the next second.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and firmly supported her lower back.
Xia Meng turned her head in surprise and saw a familiar face appear beside her.
It’s Li Zhou.
He frowned slightly, holding her lower back with one hand, and suddenly reached forward with the other hand.
She stretched out her five fingers and grabbed at the air with force. Then, the next second, Xia Meng heard the voice that had been bothering her for a long time suddenly let out a scream.
Li Zhou seemed to tear open a crack in the void, and then pulled the man who was pretending to be a ghost out of the crack.
Then he swung it hard, and the man was pulled and fell several meters away.
Everything happened in an instant.
At this time, the subway door finally closed.
The subway started slowly and drove out of the station.
Xia Meng exhaled the breath that had been stuck in her chest for a long time and looked up at Li Zhou: "Why are you here?"
Li Zhou paused, silently thinking of an answer: "After get off work?"
Xia Meng stared at him for two seconds and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
She asked unnecessary questions.
What else could it be?
If Ou Xu can think of it, how could Li Zhou not think of it?
Perhaps, as early as a few days ago, when she was tested at 80% for the first time, along with him and Su Fangxiao, he had already realized what was going to happen.
Xia Meng suddenly couldn't help asking, "You've been following me closely these past few days, isn't it just to prevent something like this from happening?"
Li Zhou glanced at her in surprise and didn't answer.
But in Xia Meng's eyes, his reaction was equivalent to answering even if he didn't answer.
Xia Meng laughed.
It is true.
Only at this time did she have the leisure to look at the person Li Zhou had caught.
He was wearing a black sweatshirt and black trousers, a baseball cap on his head, and even a mask, fully armed.
It seems that he came prepared, or he is a habitual offender.
Xia Meng walked towards him, squatted down in front of him, tilted her head and asked, "What kind of supernatural power do you have?"
The man's eyes flickered and he didn't want to answer at all.
Xia Meng turned to look at Li Zhou.
Li Zhou didn't need her to speak, as he had already said, "It's a psychic ability. It affects other people's vision by covering the entire body with mental energy. It's an A-rank."
The mental strength of an A-level sentry is strong enough to basically achieve the effect of invisibility for most sentries.
No wonder Xia Meng couldn't find him at that time.
Unfortunately, the A-level superpower is completely inadequate in front of Li Zhou.
Xia Meng asked, "How should we handle this situation? Contact the Black Tower's security department?"
Li Zhou: "Generally speaking, yes."
He slowly walked to Xia Meng's side, pulled her up with one hand, then raised his foot and stepped hard on the man's chest, saying expressionlessly, "But this time, I can handle it directly."
When Li Zhou doesn't smile, his expression looks cold.
Xia Meng couldn't help but raise her hand to hold him down: "Let's leave it to Zhou Qi."
She didn't know why, but she always felt that if she handed it over to him, this pervert would have an especially miserable end.
Don't be fooled by Li Zhou's usually cheerful and gentle appearance. If he gets really angry, he might hit someone very hard.
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and sent Zhou Qifa a message.
A few seconds later, Zhou Qi responded quickly:
【Zhou Qi:! 】
【Zhou Qi: I understand. I'll send someone over right away.】
Xia Meng put away her phone and asked casually, "Is there any way to control him?"
Li Zhou replied casually, "Just remove his hands and feet."
Xia Meng: “.”
The man shuddered when he heard this and shrank subconsciously.
Xia Meng still couldn't do such a cruel thing.
She thought about it and released her mental power.
Using mental power in reality is not as stable as in the mental image, and the intensity is also much lower.
For example, in her mental image, she could set a fire and burn down the entire cafeteria.
In reality, she could only produce a flame about the size of a lighter.
Fortunately, Xia Meng's control over her mental power has become relatively proficient.
She slowly took out a pair of handcuffs, put them on the man's hands, and fastened the other end directly to the metal railing of the subway station.
The light blue spiritual power became harder than composite metal the moment it materialized.
The man struggled subconsciously, but the next second he was shocked by the electric current from the handcuffs and almost rolled his eyes.
Xia Meng let out an innocent "ah": "I think I accidentally pinched some electric properties into it. Brother, you'd better be careful. If you struggle again, you might get electrocuted."
That person: “…”
Xia Meng clapped her hands and stood up.
The Black Tower is not far from the station. According to the walking distance, Zhou Qi’s men can arrive there within two or three minutes.
Xia Meng was too lazy to stay here any longer, so she turned to Li Zhou and said, "I'm going to take a taxi to buy a new phone. Do you want to come with me?"
She dropped her phone and the screen was cracked.
While Lao Wang was seeking justice for her, Xia Meng took the opportunity to raise her cell phone and complain loudly to Director Bai.
Xia Meng is very good at making complaints.
He cooperates perfectly with Lao Wang.
Director Bai's first reaction was to cry poor, but under Lao Wang's expressionless gaze, she nodded silently and said that the guide center had reimbursed the mobile phone, and she would go buy a new one and then go back to the finance department to get reimbursed with official funds.
So, Xia Meng originally planned to buy a mobile phone after work today, send her old one for repair, and go to a supermarket to restock the refrigerator at home.
Xia Meng: "Are you going?"
Of course Li Zhou had no objection.
Just be her follower quietly.
…
At the same time, Zhou Qi put down his phone.
Looking at Wang Xiangyi, who had an expressionless face across from him, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "He caught up, Li Zhou is following her now."
Ever since Xia Meng left, Wang Xiangyi went straight to Zhou Qi's office.
He came for no other reason than to ask Zhou Qi for some conveniences.
Ten minutes later, the assistant who was sent out to run errands returned.
Assistant: "Reporting to the Director, the person has been captured. He is a Class A Sentinel in the Psychiatric Department. I will find someone to interrogate him later--"
Wang Xiangyi said coldly: "Why bother to interrogate him? Just lock him up."
Zhou Qi was stunned: "What do you mean...?"
Wang Xiangyi raised his hand and knocked on Zhou Qi's desk: "Didn't I just ask you to arrange three sentries for me to serve as sparring partners for Xia Meng tomorrow?"
Zhou Qi directly put on a mask of pain.
He felt that Wang Xiangyi at this moment was more like Zhou Baopi.
The sentries under his command are the top special forces talents in the Black Tower.
Let them serve as sparring partners for a guide? Or let them be beaten one-sidedly?
If you tell this to others, won’t people laugh to death?
Wang Xiangyi said, "If you can't arrange for the remaining two people, I have a suggestion."
Zhou Qi: "What?"
Wang Xiangyi: "Let the one called Ning Yi come."
Zhou Qi: “…”
Wang Xiangyi is very good at various negotiation skills.
The three sentries spoke first, and after Zhou Qi found a reason to refuse, he took a step back, and then another.
By the time Zhou Qi realized it, Wang Xiangyi's original target was most likely Ning Yi. At this moment, he could no longer find any suitable reason to refuse.
Besides... Ning Yi was already in the wrong.
If Zhou Qi dared to refuse again, Wang Xiangyi might slam the table and start scolding him the next second.
Zhou Qi felt that he was weak, pitiful and helpless at this moment.
At this moment, Wang Xiangyi in his eyes was like an old hen protecting her chicks, extremely ferocious.
At this moment, the real old hen standing guard on his desk - oh no, it was Wang Xiangyi's red-feathered chicken, was staring at him closely.
It seemed as if if he dared to say "no", it would peck him to death in the next second.
Zhou Qi: "...Okay. Ning Yi is Ning Yi."
Wang Xiangyi: "Plus the one we just caught."
Zhou Qi: "...Okay."
The goal was achieved successfully, and another person was spared.
Wang Xiangyi nodded with satisfaction.
There was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, a hint of success.
Zhou Qi: “…”
