Gu Beichen and Xu Le rode their bikes to the vicinity of Dengta University. The security guard this time seemed a little different from the previous ones. He recognized Xu Le the first time he saw him.
"Isn't this Ale? You are wearing this uniform... Have you become a night watchman?"
Someone you know
Xu Le looked at the other person somewhat guiltily. This kind of person who was not particularly familiar but seemed rather enthusiastic was the most troublesome.
In those scattered memory fragments, he couldn't find the other party's shadow at all, and could only smile and say:
"Yes, uncle."
"Oh, by the way, how is Lao Zhou doing recently? He hasn't come to work for a while. Do you know how he is doing now?"
"Old Zhou, he passed away."
"Ah, he left so early. I heard he still has a wife and kids... Oh, life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen!"
"Yes, things change all the time." Xu Le nodded.
"Then go and do your work. I won't bother you any more."
"good."
"Oh yeah, there's one more thing."
Xu Le stopped and looked at the guard with some doubt:
"What's wrong?"
"I wish you a bright future, Ale."
Not sure if it was because he felt the other party's sincerity or some other reason, Xu Le nodded to the security guard:
"Thanks."
…
After passing through the school gate, Gu Beichen took Xu Le and walked on a road he had rarely been to.
Judging from Gu Beichen's familiarity with the surrounding environment, he should come to this place frequently.
"Ah Le, haha, your name sounds like the guy in the food stall."
"Neuropathy."
"But Xu Le, do you know that I also graduated from the Extraordinary Academy of Lighthouse University, but I was specially recruited.
According to seniority, I am 4 years older than you, so you should call me senior."
Listening to Gu Beichen seriously analyzing the seniority, Xu Le had no intention of paying any attention to him.
However, when he reached a fork in the road, Xu Le stopped.
"To get to the University's Extraordinary Academy, we should go this way, right? That seems to be the dormitory."
Hearing Xu Le's question, Gu Beichen's eyes instantly became a little confused:
"Yeah, we need to go check out the dorm first."
Xu Le was a little confused, but he knew nothing about recruiting people, so he could only follow Gu Beichen's idea.
"Let's go, then."
The two came to a slightly special dormitory area.
As for the special place here, it should be the training facilities around the dormitory.
Judging from the knife marks on the piles, the targets, and the dumbbells that look to be of exaggerated size, this should be a temporary training place for warriors.
So this dormitory should be a dormitory for warriors
Judging from the underwear hanging on the doors of some dormitories and the pink quilts, this should be a girls' dormitory
There are no women in the team now. Does Gu Beichen mean to add female team members
Under Xu Le's puzzled gaze, Gu Beichen walked up to the dormitory manager.
"Grandma, I'm Gu Beichen. I want to get the key to Shunliu's room."
Hearing him say that, Xu Le frowned suddenly. Slip away
The dorm manager looked at Gu Beichen amiably, then took out a bunch of keys:
"Finally you're here. Here, this is the key to Shunliu's room. Go quickly."
"Okay, thank you, grandma."
Gu Beichen was about to leave, and Xu Le turned around to look at the old woman who was still laughing at them.
He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what.
Xu Le did not ignore this feeling. Every intuition of the forbidden warlock had a reason.
After leaving the dormitory management office, he pulled out an Ancient Yin Duo card and took a look at it.
White Card-Four Leaf Clover
A four-leaf clover symbolizes luck.
Positive: Unconditional luck, good things will happen.
The flip side: fragile life.
"Good thing?"
Xu Le put the cards away.
Gu Beichen looked at Xu Le taking out the cards and asked with some doubt:
"What are you fortune-telling for? Four-leaf clover, it looks like we should have something to gain this time, right?"
Xu Le did not answer his question, but asked directly:
"Did Li Shunliu live here before?"
"I live in the night watchman's dormitory on weekdays, but I come back to stay for a day or two every weekend."
"What is the purpose of your coming here this time?"
Xu Le remembered clearly that Gu Beichen had also been possessed by the Shadow Demon, who had taken the souls of the town at that time.
Gu Beichen said that it also included Li Shunliu's soul, perhaps he discovered something from it.
Hearing Xu Le's question, Gu Beichen smiled bitterly:
"I want to know who she belongs to and why she did it."
"Understood."
The two came to Li Shunliu's dormitory. After opening the door, Xu Le smelled a smell similar to disinfectant.
The house was very clean, and there were no decorations commonly seen in girls' houses.
Even the quilt and bed are white, a bit like the white used in hotels and hospitals.
He immediately activated the Ancient Sound Multi-Vision and scanned the room. After confirming that there was no contamination, he spoke:
“This place has been cleaned, there is a heart energy neutralizer and disinfectant.
Judging from the intensity of the smell, the disinfection should have taken place not long ago, which means someone must have been in this room within the past few days."
Gu Beichen listened to Xu Le's analysis, but he just nodded and didn't say much.
Gu Beichen came to Li Shunliu's desk and picked up a white letter on the table.
It says on it, Received by Gu Beichen.
Gu Beichen did not open the envelope, but handed it to Xu Le.
"Help me check if anyone has touched this letter."
Xu Le nodded, he took out a dagger and carefully cut open the seal of the letter.
It can be seen from the torn seal that the letter has been opened.
Although it was re-glued, the technique was very casual.
It seems that the person who handled this room did not take Li Shunliu particularly seriously.
"Yes."
"Since it has been handled by someone, it means that it will be difficult for us to find any traces."
"All traces of a Level 2 warrior have to be erased, and he is not Madam Ju Ya's man. Li Shunliu's situation looks a bit strange."
"Forget it, let's just read the letter."
Gu Beichen opened the envelope.
Beichen, when you see this letter, I will probably be dead. Just consider this as my suicide note. I don’t know if you can see it.
Gu Beichen tightened his fingers and continued to look down.
There is no need to investigate my identity. I know you can't even take care of yourself, let alone investigate the truth. Living a good life is more important than anything else.
If you really want to know, I can only tell you that all of this is voluntary. I have not been coerced by anyone. Everything is based on my personal will.
These somewhat sincere words probably represent a different type of spiritual attack.
Xu Le couldn't help but say:
“I think what she said makes sense.”
"Shut up."
"good."
I have always wanted to confess my feelings to you, but I never had the chance.
The timeline is like whether you choose to take an airship or a steam car. The final destination is the same, but the means of transportation you choose is different.
Just like you and me, just like the wrong time and the wrong person.
I really like you, Gu Beichen.
This letter is like a simple love letter. Just a few lines of scribbled handwriting express Li Shunliu's feelings and reluctance.
When Xu Le saw Gu Beichen holding the letter without saying anything, he knew that he might need some time alone.
"Um, I'll go out for a walk. Call me if you need anything."
"good."
Xu Le walked out of the dormitory and went downstairs, ready to ask the dormitory manager who had come here a few days ago.
According to Xu Le's idea, the door was not damaged.
In other words, the other party most likely got the key, opened the door and tidied the house.
Although the dormitory manager is very old, she may still have some impression of the previous person.
Knock knock knock!
"Hello, Grandma. I want to ask... Hmm?"
The closed door was knocked open by Xu Le. The old lady who was the dormitory manager was sitting at the door of the room, leaning on a chair, her body relaxed and her face peaceful.
Xu Le looked at the old lady who was no longer breathing and was a little speechless.
There were no signs of fighting here, and the old lady's expression was very calm. It seemed that her time had come and she had passed away.
A corpse appears in this area. Affected by the bright environment, it will be distorted into a Level 1 weirdness after 71 hours, 57 minutes and 23 seconds.
"It took me only a few minutes to get upstairs. It can't be such a coincidence. It was fine just now."
Xu Le didn't intend to care about these things and was about to contact the guards here, but he suddenly stopped.
From the moment he first came here, he felt something was wrong.
He couldn't tell what was wrong at the time, but now he has a little idea of it.
That strange smell was a bit similar to the rotten smell on Bai Jing's body.
The first time Xu Le smelled this scent, it was covered up by Bai Jing's perfume. The second time it was because Bai Jing's life sublimation was too strong.
So there is more or less a difference between those two times and the smell on the old man.
Xu Le sniffed it carefully, as if he wanted to confirm whether the two smells were the same, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you here? Grandma? What's going on? What did you do to grandma?"
At this time, several girls who were walking together seemed to be returning to the dormitory, and they remained wary of Xu Le who appeared here.
However, Xu Le only showed them his uniform, then took out his ID and said:
"The night watchmen are investigating a case. Please stand away."
"Night Watch?"
When these female students saw that Xu Le was really the night watchman, their expressions changed immediately.
His words and actions also became more proper.
For students who are admitted to university and enter the Academy of Supernatural Beings, especially those from ordinary downtown families.
If they can join the Night Watch system, their future treatment and family will be adequately protected.
So offending the guards is understandable, but offending the Night's Watch is extremely undesirable.
While Xu Le was sighing that the night watchman's ID was really useful, he shouted to the upstairs:
"Gu Beichen, something happened, come down."
"I'm feeling sad, what's the matter?"
Gu Beichen's dissatisfied voice came from upstairs, but soon Xu Le heard footsteps coming downstairs.
When Gu Beichen saw the dead old lady, he immediately contacted the guard:
"Next time you encounter something like this, contact the guards first to avoid getting yourself into trouble."
"Okay, got it."
Xu Le remembered that the last time he encountered something strange in the city, Gu Beichen also contacted the guards first.
On this point, he did not follow the rules and procedures.
"Have you checked?"
"I did a quick check and found no suspicious locations."
"Then why did you call me? Tell the guards to take it away and burn it."
Looking at the surprise on Gu Beichen's face, Xu Le slowly pinched his chin.
"The smell on her... is somewhat similar to the Captain's previous smell."
If it were someone else, Gu Beichen would definitely say something casually at this time, saying that the old man definitely has the smell of an old man.
However, this matter involves Bai Jing. Even a guy with his personality cannot ignore Xu Le's words.
Gu Beichen pushed open the door and walked in. The smell made him frown slightly.
"It feels a bit like the smell of an old man, but also a bit different. It's much heavier. It's indeed a bit similar to the captain's smell."
Gu Beichen's statement was exactly the same as Xu Le's idea.
But at this time, the guards stationed at the school had also arrived.
"My Lords of the Night's Watch, how can I help you?"
"Please help dispose of the body."
"Don't you need to examine the body?"
"I'm not a forensic doctor. You think too much of me."
Whether the old lady died of natural causes or not was meaningless to Xu Le, and a psychic did not need evidence to get an answer, as evidence was for others to see.
After the guards dragged the old lady's body out, the two men returned to the house and locked the door.
"Are there any items in this room that are related to the death of the dormitory manager? The spells are all ancient and secret."
Red Card-Angel
Positive: affirmative, correct, good approval.
Xu Le looked at Gu Beichen and nodded.
“Although I’m not sure if it was homicide, at least there are items here that are related to her death.”
"Then what are you looking at? Go find it."
Xu Le and Gu Beichen began to search the room tacitly.
The two men did not allow the guards to interfere during the search. If there was really evidence at this time, it would be the best time to destroy it.
When he flipped to the end, Gu Beichen found a few medicine bottles from the drawer on the side of the desk. They were labeled "antihypertensive drugs" and they were very common.
After opening the medicine bottle and smelling it, Gu Beichen threw the bottle to Xu Le and said:
"Check this."
"Blood pressure medication? Any questions?"
“When I was a kid, I often bought blood pressure medicine, which was not cheap, but certainly not very expensive either.
While a university dorm manager can certainly afford this medicine, normally a dorm manager would have better and cheaper options.
Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that the medicine tastes wrong. "
Listening to Gu Beichen's analysis, Xu Le looked at him in surprise. With such clear and agile thinking, could it be that he really hadn't been possessed by another spirit
"Gu Beichen, if you are possessed by someone else, just blink."
"roll."
Seeing that Gu Beichen had no intention of being possessed, Xu Le didn't waste any words and directly took out the card and injected spiritual energy into it:
“Are these pills related to the death of the dorm manager
The techniques are all ancient and contain many secret words. "
Red Card-Angel
Positive: affirmative, correct, good approval.
"That's probably it. I don't know what it's made of, but it's definitely not a blood pressure medicine."
Xu Le picked up three of the bottles and poured out some pills.
He gave one bottle to Gu Beichen, one bottle to himself, and put the remaining bottle in a bag.
"Need to keep three copies? What did you find?" Gu Beichen had a strange expression.
"I didn't notice anything, I just simply felt something was not right. She has so much here, so it's better to take more just in case."
"That does make some sense."
"What about now?" Xu Le asked.
"Keep hiring people. Whether we are investigating Shunluo or the pills, we will need manpower.
Furthermore, if we want to maintain the existence of the 6th team, it is necessary to replenish the personnel."
Xu Le nodded first, then shook his head:
"What about the top fighters? Right now there are only two level 3 fighters in the team, Shu Ge and Niu Yuan, and no level 4 fighters.
Although there are three warlocks, Mr. Gan and I are both Red Moon Warlocks. Although you are a Disaster Warlock, you are only level 2 and cannot have the final say. "
When Xu Le said this, he was still paying attention to Gu Beichen's expression. Surprisingly, he did not refute.
"Yes, we lack high-end combat power here, unlike Team 5. Even if Zhou Jie retires, there will be someone to replace him. Wang Yueqin and others will not limit the number of people in Team 5.
Last time I was told that I could apply for personnel from the Human Resources Department, but I don’t know if they will send any experts down.
Moreover, the situation of Team 6 is special, and most people are unwilling to come."
Xu Le heard the worry in Gu Beichen's tone. If the team that the captain had worked so hard to save was to be disbanded like this, everyone would be very sorry.
"But have you ever thought about this? If the higher-ups really send down a Level 4 warrior or a Level 3 warlock, the Night's Watch Team 6 will change its owner."
Xu Le's words made the two of them silent for a while. Gu Beichen shook his head:
"Hey, it's useless to say this now. Putting you and Mr. Gan aside, we only have three people in the executive department of Team 6. Let's recruit them first."
"good."
As they talked, they returned the same way and turned to the Supernormal Academy.
However, as the two of them walked over, there were actually a few girls from the dormitory following them, and they were talking openly to Xu Le and Gu Beichen.
After following for a while, the girls from the Extraordinary Academy seemed to have mustered up their courage and patted Xu Le and the other man:
"Excuse me, are you here to recruit night watchmen from the academy?"
The two looked at each other, and Gu Beichen nodded, signaling Xu Le to take care of it.
Xu Le didn't say anything and went straight to the point:
“Yes, we are here to recruit.”
"Then... can I?"
"And me."
"Me too… "
Xu Le was a little surprised by the excitement of these girls. Is it possible that a dangerous profession like night watchman is so popular
Since he was here to recruit people, if someone responded, he would naturally deal with it:
"So are there any of you who are warlocks, or level 2 warriors?"
There was silence, and no one answered Xu Le.
This situation was not unexpected to Xu Le. People with real talent would have already been picked up by the Night Watch's Human Resources Department.
The remaining misfits will most likely enter the guard system.
A level 0 warrior will most likely be a guard or something, and a level 1 warrior can be a guard captain, but that's about it.
"I'm sorry, but your strength is too weak to meet our standards."
Xu Le shook his head slightly, left the group of disappointed female students behind, and continued walking towards the Extraordinary Academy with Gu Beichen.
"I hope there will be roles that satisfy us over there."
"There are a lot of girls..."
"Ah?" Xu Le was stunned. Where is this guy's previous affection
"No, I mean... there are a lot of talented people over there, there must be one."
