"morning."
Lin Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Chu had just come out of the door. He was wearing a light grey shirt today, which made his skin look exceptionally fair. His head was slightly tilted, with soft hair hanging down from his forehead, which was blurred into a light flax color by the light and shadow. His grey-brown eyes were clear, and he was looking at her with a faint smile, like a stream flowing in the woods on a spring day, clear and pleasant.
Are you really cursed
"Didn't you sleep well?" Chen Chu saw the dark circles under the girl's eyes.
"I slept a little late last night." Lin Yan had been searching for information about the Soul Locking Tower in the internal forum since she came back from the restaurant. However, she didn't find anything special after searching all night. The basic information was already told to her by King Wu on WeChat yesterday. The only thing she found was that a supernatural person mentioned that he was cursed in the Soul Locking Tower, but he accidentally got a prop in the Soul Locking Tower and used it to remove the curse. So he speculated that every curse in the Soul Locking Tower is equipped with a prop to remove the curse.
From this, we can infer that the people in the restaurant yesterday said they wanted to go to the Soul Locking Tower again, probably because they wanted to help Chen Chu find the props to break the curse.
"How about we go later?" Today is the first day of the convention, and what's on sale are common supernatural materials, so it doesn't matter if we go later.
"No, I'm already up, and I won't be able to sleep well unless I finish shopping." Lin Yan yawned.
"Then go early and come back early." Chen Chu said, and walked towards the elevator first.
The two took the elevator to the auditorium on the eighth floor. There were dozens of stalls in the auditorium, and each stall was filled with various supernatural materials. There were energy stones that had been sorted out, fragments for making supernatural props, materials for various supernatural professions to practice, and some medicinal materials dug out from the subspace.
These medicinal herbs were the most requested items in the list that Assistant Tan gave him. After Lin Xi entered the door, she went straight to the medicinal herbs stall.
"Hello, I want all the medicinal herbs on this list." Lin Xi borrowed the hotel's printer yesterday and printed out the shopping list.
The psychic in charge of the herbal medicine stall took the list and glanced at it, making sure that everything was in it. He quickly calculated it and said, "A total of 110,620 points."
"110,000 or so." Lin Yan said directly.
"You look cute, so I'll sell it to you." The person in charge of medicinal materials glanced at Chen Chu and agreed.
"thank you boss."
"I'm not the boss, I'm just a small sales manager." The man said self-deprecatingly.
"Thank you, manager." Lin Yan took out the password device, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and paid 110,000 points.
"I've asked someone to go to the warehouse to prepare it. It will be delivered to your room in the evening. Please leave your room number."
Lin Yan turned around and looked at Chen Chu eagerly: "Senior, you take it. I'm afraid I'll lose it."
"Okay." Chen Chu nodded.
"1801." Lin Yan directly reported Chen Chu's room number.
The two of them left the herbal medicine stall, and Chen Chu couldn't help but ask, "So you can bargain here?"
"Can't we bargain here?" Lin Xi was a little confused by what Chen Chu said.
"You don't know whether you can bargain or not, so why did you just... Didn't Assistant Tan tell you?"
"No, I just asked casually. Isn't it the same when buying things, rounding off the difference when paying?" Lin Xi said.
“…” Chen Chu.
"You don't buy things without bargaining, do you?" Lin Xi looked at Chen Chu in disbelief.
Chen Chu coughed lightly: "Let's go buy something else."
Lin Xi smiled, knowing the answer in her mind, and very considerately did not ask any further questions, and continued to the next stall. There were not many people in Group 6, so there were not many things to buy. Except for the items that needed to be bought at the auction the next day, Lin Xi went around and bought everything else quickly. However, she spent a lot of points, a full million points.
"You've almost finished shopping. Do you plan to go shopping some more or go back to sleep?" Chen Chu asked her.
Just as Lin Xi was about to speak, the stick holder in front of her suddenly shook and a bamboo stick fell out.
[Chen Chu, male, 24 years old, is about to meet the person who hurt him.]
harm?!
Lin Yan stood there in a daze, looking at Chen Chu in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Chen Chu was a little confused. He just asked her if she wanted to go back, so why did she have such an expression
"Senior Chen Chu, I just predicted something about you." Lin Xi said.
Chen Chu was stunned for a moment before he remembered, "Yes, you have the ability to tell fortunes, but it seems you can only tell bad luck. You told me that I am going to be unlucky?"
Chen Chu was a little curious. At his level, his sense of crisis was far beyond that of ordinary people. If there was anything around him that could endanger his life, he would be able to sense it immediately. If he didn't sense it, it meant it was a harmless little thing. So he was more curious than worried about Lin Yan's divination.
"The divination says that you will meet someone who has hurt you before." Lin Xi told the divination results.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the divination task. You will be rewarded with some merit points and 0 yuan for divination." System.
Someone who hurt him? Chen Chu's mind flashed back to the people he had fought against during missions over the years. After thinking about it, he felt that these people should not dare to appear here.
"Senior, let's not go back. Let's wait here and see who it is. Then we can kill him."
Chen Chu was amused by Lin Yan's indignation and wanted to laugh: "If we kill him, he should be the unlucky one, why would it be me?"
Just as Lin Xi was daydreaming, three young men and women walked in from the auditorium. They were wearing silver-grey uniforms, about 24 or 25 years old, with outstanding looks and temperament. The energy surging from their bodies was pure and warm, and the moment they stepped in, everyone in the auditorium looked over.
Three A-level psychics.
Chen Chu also sensed this energy fluctuation, and instinctively looked in that direction. After seeing the appearance of the three people opposite him, Chen Chu's hands hanging by his side unconsciously clenched into fists, but soon, he loosened them again.
"Let's go." Chen Chu said to Lin Xi.
"Aren't you going to wait anymore?" Lin asked.
"Do you really want to see me get into trouble?" Chen Chu laughed.
"That's not what I meant. I just want to know who that person is..."
"Chen Chu?!" A shout full of surprise suddenly came from the lobby door, interrupting Lin Xi's words.
Lin Xi turned her head and saw a young girl with beautiful features and outstanding temperament running towards them.
"Chen Chu, it's really you." The girl looked at Chen Chu awkwardly, her beautiful eyes full of excitement and a hint of grievance in her excitement, her eyes gradually turned red.
What's going on? An old lover? Lin Yan couldn't help but imagine.
[Tang Lanyue, female, 24 years old, poor girl, she fell in love with someone who could not love her.]
“…” Lin Xi.
It’s better not to do this divination task, otherwise you will easily get beaten.
"Chen Chu, long time no see." One of Tang Lanyue's companions also came over. He was a carefree boy with a cheerful voice. When the boy saw Chen Chu, he opened his arms and was about to hug him, but Chen Chu took a step back and avoided him.
The boy was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Chen Chu to be like this. He stood there in embarrassment.
[Li Jiamu, male, 24 years old, poor kid, fell in love with a girl who once wanted to kill him.]
Good man, a masochist? Sadomasochism? Lin Xi immediately became excited.
However, he couldn't do this divination task. After all, Lin Xi had no evidence that his beloved girl wanted to kill him. Moreover, the fortune-telling said that it happened in the past. Maybe she didn't want to kill him now. As the saying goes, it's better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage. She would never commit such a sin even if it meant losing some merit points.
"Long time no see." Chen Chu seemed to be blind to Li Jiamu's embarrassment. He always kept a distance of two steps from the two of them and said this politely but distantly.
Tang Lanyue’s last companion also came over, but he didn’t seem to be very familiar with Chen Chu. He just nodded at Chen Chu and stood aside without saying anything.
However, Lin Yan discovered that among the three people, Chen Chu's attitude towards this person was the most gentle. So, was it Li Jiamu or Tang Lanyue who hurt Chen Chu in the divination
Lin Xi couldn't help but guess.
"Why didn't you contact us when you came? We haven't seen each other for five or six years. Do you know how much we missed you?" Li Jiamu said as he was about to pat Chen Chu's arm out of habit, but he put his hand down as soon as he raised it. He must have thought of the embarrassment when Chen Chu avoided his hug just now.
"I was sent here on a business trip temporarily, and I left after the conference was over." Chen Chu said.
"Are you leaving as soon as the conference is over? Won't you stay in the imperial capital for a few more days?" Tang Lanyue had controlled her emotions at this point and was no longer as excited as before.
"No, I still have three papers to write, and I have to go back to finish them." Chen Chu shook his head.
Chen Chu knew what he said was just an excuse. Where can't they write a paper? Moreover, people like them don't need to study for a master's degree. It's enough to get a university diploma. Why do they need to study for a master's degree or a doctorate? Anyway, they won't work in this field.
"The Soul Locking Tower will open soon." After hesitating for a moment, Tang Lanyue said, "My father consulted the prophet and sensed that the Soul Locking Tower will open soon."
When he heard the words "Soul Locking Tower", Chen Chu's gaze finally turned to Tang Lanyue.
"There's the Cursed Eye in tomorrow's auction, I'll bid for it."
"Then what?" Chen Chu asked.
"I'll go in and help you find..."
"No need." Chen Chu interrupted Tang Lanyue, his tone was calm and almost emotionless, "You finally survived, don't go in again."
Tang Lanyue's pupils shrank, as if some unknown secret in her heart was touched.
"Chen Chu, we can't just leave you alone, we can..."
"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." Chen Chu obviously didn't want to talk to them more, so he walked towards the door by himself. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Tang Lanyue.
Tang Lanyue's face lit up with joy, thinking that Chen Chu still had something to say to her, then she heard Chen Chu suddenly call out another girl's name.
"Lin Yan, let's go back."
"Oh." Lin Yan, who was trying to analyze which of the two was the "murderer," said, and came back to her senses. She hurriedly passed by Tang Lanyue and ran to Chen Chu's side. She said cheerfully, "I want to eat first. I'm a little hungry."
"Then let's go to the restaurant first."
Tang Lanyue looked at the two people's backs as they walked further and further away, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, and secretly swore that she must go to the Soul Locking Tower to help Chen Chu find the props to lift the curse.
