After the call was made, the police arrived at the scene quickly. However, because the alleys of Xiangwei Sancun were narrow, the police car could not get in, so the police could only escort the criminals out of the village on foot.
Before, Lin Xi was being followed and she didn’t see a single person on the road. But now, there are people everywhere, as if it were a festival, it’s so lively.
Is this the deep malice the world has towards people with a luck value of -99
Lin Xi sighed silently.
"What's wrong?" Chen Chu heard the girl sigh and turned to look at her.
"I got lost in the village before and didn't meet anyone." Although she knew she was unlucky, Lin Xi couldn't help feeling aggrieved.
"If you can meet someone, you won't get lost."
"What you said makes a lot of sense."
Chen Chu laughed and said nothing more, continuing to walk out with the police. They had to go to the police station to make a statement before they could go home.
"Aren't these the yellow-haired and bald guy? I knew something bad would happen to these two sooner or later."
"It's good to catch him. It will give us a lot of peace in this area."
"Who said it wasn't? It's annoying to see you idle around all day."
People around were talking about it, and they all felt very happy.
Qi Anlian had just finished taking a shower and heard some noise outside. She put on a coat and came out. She saw Lin Yan following the police. She was wondering when she heard the people around her talking.
"What did the yellow-haired and bald guys do wrong?" someone asked.
"It looks like rape. Did you see the little girl next to the police? It is said that she was almost raped by these two scumbags."
"I heard about it, too. These two scumbags trapped the girl in the dead end alley at the west end of the village. If the girl's boyfriend hadn't shown up in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"How dare they do such a thing? They are beasts. I don't know if they have harmed other girls before."
With every additional sentence Qi Anlian heard, the color on her face faded a little, and her expression when she looked at Lin Xi became extremely complicated.
It turns out that what the girl said was true. If she hadn't followed me home, would I have been the one encountering these things
Qi Anlian suddenly felt an urge to go up and say thank you to Lin Yan, but when she squeezed out of the crowd, Lin Yan had already got into the police car and left.
The two criminals were caught on the spot. The case was not complicated, but they still stayed in the police station until nearly eleven o'clock.
"Okay, you can leave after signing." The police officer handed the transcript to the two for verification.
Lin Yan took it, glanced at it, confirmed that there was no problem, quickly signed her name, and then handed the pen to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu took it and signed his name.
Chen Chu? Lin Yan was stunned when she saw Chen Chu's signature. He was Chen Chu? The senior Chen Chu who subdued the thugs in the hospital? No wonder she felt that he looked familiar. It turned out to be him.
"What's wrong?" After Chen Chu signed, he turned around and saw the girl looking at him with a strange look.
"No, nothing."
"It's signed." Chen Chu returned the pen and paper to the police officer. After checking, the police officer signaled that the two could leave.
Coming out of the police station, there was no one around, Lin Yan suddenly bowed 90 degrees to Chen Chu and said, "Senior Chen Chu, I have no way to repay your kindness."
Chen Chu was startled by Lin Yan's sincere gift, and then frowned: "Senior? Which school are you from?"
"From Green Leaf University." Lin Xi said.
"Did you know that I'm studying for a master's degree at Green Leaf University?" He didn't study for his undergraduate degree at Green Leaf University. Although he is now studying for a master's degree at Green Leaf University, he rarely goes to school. He is so low-key that even his fellow students under the same master's supervisor may not know him.
How could Lin Yan know him? No, Lin Yan didn't know him. Her reaction after crawling out of the TV could tell that if Lin Yan knew her, she would have called her senior at that time. She suddenly did this, probably because she saw his signature just now. So, Lin Yan didn't know him, but knew him.
"My best friend works at a news agency and she has interviewed you. By the way, we met in the hospital before. That day you subdued a thug who came to the hospital with a knife to slash people. Remember? I was there at the time." Lin Yan did not say that she was the one who discovered the thug, for she was afraid that Chen Chu would not remember her.
News agency? Chen Chu remembered that a few months ago, he had published a paper and someone from the school news agency wanted to interview him, but he refused because he thought it was troublesome. It turned out that the reporter was Lin Yan's best friend. No wonder he felt that the voice was familiar in the convenience store that day. The reporter was very difficult to deal with and called him dozens of times, forcing him to turn off his phone before he could hide away in peace.
"Remember, it was you who discovered the thugs." Chen Chu said.
Lin Yan's eyes lit up: "Do you remember me?"
"Yeah." Chen Chu glanced at the red highlights on the girl's head. After all, bald girls are relatively rare.
Lin Xi suddenly felt very happy.
"Since you are a student, why are you in the urban village so late at night?" Chen Chu asked.
"I work part-time in a park north of the urban village. To get to the urban village, I want to cross the village and take the bus." Lin Yan said.
"Why do you work part-time so late?"
"It was an escape room, and I was an NPC inside. Today a group of players arrived late, so I left a little late as well." Lin Yan explained.
Escape room? As far as he knew, there was only one escape room in that area, and he happened to have been there.
Chen Chu suddenly remembered the energy fluctuations he felt from the coffin that day, and the female NPC whose neck he had strangled. So he was not wrong at that time, that energy was indeed emitted by that female NPC, and that female NPC was the girl in front of him.
"Are you pretending to be a female ghost in there?" Chen Chu asked.
"Yes." Lin Yan nodded, "Do you want to come and play? I can ask the boss to give you a discount."
Chen Chu smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he continued to ask, "That area is very remote. Don't work part-time so late next time. If you have no choice, you should take a taxi back."
"Actually, our boss gave me money for a taxi." Lin Xi said.
“Then why do you…” Chen Chu was surprised.
"To save money." Lin Yan said a little embarrassedly, "Taking a taxi from the campus back to school costs 40 or 50 yuan, but taking the bus only costs 2 yuan."
Chen Chu looked at the two fingers raised by the girl and was speechless for a moment: "Are you short of money?"
Didn’t I just compensate her with a thousand yuan a few days ago? How come it was spent so quickly
"Yeah. I was hit by a car some time ago, and I used all the money I had on medical bills. My new cell phone was also broken. The one in my hand now is an old-fashioned phone that I bought for 500 yuan half a month ago. I thought that old-fashioned phones would just have slower internet speeds and slower responses, but would still be usable. Who knew that this broken phone would run out of battery and shut down all the time, which made me so angry. Besides, I'm about to graduate, I haven't found a job yet, and I haven't settled the rent yet, so I thought I could save as much as I could." Lin Yan had experienced so many things during this period of time that she couldn't help but talk a lot.
Car accident → hospitalization → baldness → encountering thugs → discharged from hospital → encountering *** criminals, this series of experiences...
"Oh, forget it, at least I'm not dead." Lin Xi has let it go.
I have a pretty good attitude.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at an intersection. A car drove over from a distance. Chen Chu waved and the car stopped beside them.
Chen Chu opened the door and motioned for Lin Yan to get in: "Get in the car."
Lin Yan: "Did you call a car?"
Chen Chu nodded.
Lin's phone was out of battery, so she couldn't call a taxi herself, so she had to shamelessly hitchhike. In the end, she got in the car, but Chen Chu didn't.
"The car will take you back to school." Chen Chu closed the car door and said to the driver, "Master, drive slowly on the road."
"Okay." The master responded and drove away with his foot on the accelerator.
Lin Yan said "eh" and leaned on the window to say something, but the car had already driven a long way away. She could only watch the tall figure of the boy getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the night.
I forgot to ask for his phone number, and I don’t know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future. At least I have to pay him back for the car fare.
[Auntie, you can crawl over the TV.] A system prompt suddenly appeared, like a barrage of comments that suddenly flashed.
"Are you Sadako?" This was definitely not the tone of the system.
[It's me. Are you going to look for him? Take out my hair.]
What do you mean by taking out your hair? It sounds creepy, okay
Lin Yan was so scared that she got goose bumps all over her body: "System, system, Sadako is still alive? No, it's Sadako who is talking to me."
Although she accepted the existence of the system and the fact that Sadako's long hair could climb onto the TV, she was still afraid of ghosts.
"This is not Sadako, but Sadako's will attached to her long hair. The host does not need to pay attention to it. Once the merit points she has earned are used up, she will not be able to speak anymore." said the system.
It turns out it’s a paid barrage.
[You are all so bad] Sada's bullet screen appeared again.
"You have one last sentence left." The system calculated Sadako's merit points.
[Auntie, if you meet a handsome guy, remember to drag him into the TV]
The soul-stirring waves show Lin Xi's gradually collapsing worldview. She never expected that Sadako would be such a ghost!
"So, props can actually speak?" Lin Wei asked.
"Only some rare items can speak, and speaking requires the consumption of corresponding merit points." said the system.
"By the way, what's the matter with what you said just now about props also being able to earn merit points?" Lin Xi was curious.
"Only items with their own will can earn merit points. For example, if the host wanted to unlock the secondary attribute of an item in advance, two conditions must be met. One, pay the corresponding merit points, and two, the item agrees. Only when the above two conditions are met can the transaction be established. The merit points obtained from this will be divided equally between the system and the item."
Lin Yan understood: "So the merit points that Sadako talked about just now were earned from me?"
"Yes." said the system.
"I didn't expect that you would distribute the merit points to the props." Lin Yan was very surprised. The system mall was the most shady store she had ever seen.
"This system is fair, honest and friendly. It will never embezzle any merit points from its partners." said the system.
"Yes, yes, yes, and then you created a paid barrage, and earned back all the merit points with just five sentences." Lin Yan saw through it and said it out loud.
The system is silent.
Lin Xi sneered, I have seen through your evil heart. Why didn't you use your evil heart when setting the hexagram gold? If you had used a little, I wouldn't be so poor.
The car drove fast at night, and after more than ten minutes, it stopped at the gate of Green Leaf University. Lin Yan waited until she got back to school before she suddenly remembered something. She and Chen Chu seemed to have selectively forgotten that she could crawl out of the TV.
On the other side, Chen Chu returned to his home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw an uninvited guest sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Chu, you're back. Come and see me, has your energy been sucked dry by the female ghost?" When Xie Xingyu saw Chen Chu, he rushed over like a gust of wind.
"I've told you so many times, don't come into my house casually." Chen Chu pushed the person away with disgust.
"Where is the female ghost?" Xie Xingyu looked at Chen Chu's body, especially his neck, which was clean and white without a single mark.
“Sent it back.”
"Is there a real female ghost or not?" He was drinking in the bar before. When he heard Chen Chu say that a female ghost had come to his house, he was so excited that he drove over directly. He thought which female ghost was so brave that she dared to attack Chen Chu. He must meet her. But in the end, he still came up empty-handed.
Chen Chu got himself a bottle of water and asked, "Is the bureau hiring anyone recently?"
"What? Do you want to recommend someone?" Xie Xingyu was curious.
"There is a female college student who has just awakened."
"Female college student?!" Xie Xingyu only noticed the last four words.
"Just awakened, level... I think it's F level, and the energy is unstable." Chen Chu expressed his assessment of Lin Yan's abilities.
"A weakling? The bureau won't want you." Xie Xingyu shook his head after hearing this.
"Her ability is very interesting, and... she is very poor." Chen Chu felt sad and funny when he thought about what the girl had gone through in order to save 50 yuan for a taxi fare.
"Are you worried that she will use her abilities to cause trouble because she's poor?" Xie Xingyu said nonchalantly, "What can an F-level person do?"
"Her ability... is very convenient for stealing things." Chen Chu had a good impression of Lin Yan and did not think that she would steal things, but to be honest, her ability did make stealing things very convenient.
"What ability?" Xie Xingyu was curious.
Chen Chu looked at the TV: "She can crawl out of the TV."
"Oh shit, it's Sadako." It really is a female ghost.
