Chi Xiaoduo leaned on Xiang Cheng and gasped for breath.
"See?" Xiang Cheng asked.
Chi Xiaoduo nodded, with lingering fears in his heart, Xiang Cheng signaled him not to worry, sat down and spoke slowly, and poured him another glass of water.
Chi Xiaoduo drank a whole glass of water and calmed down a little. The whole incident emerged in his mind with a clear outline, and countless fragments could not be connected together.
Xiang Cheng waited patiently for Chi Xiaoduo to speak, Chi Xiaoduo thought for a while, and said, "I know who those two old men are, God... no wonder, it's Mr. Die."
"What?" Xiang Cheng asked, not knowing why.
"Listen to me from the beginning." Chi Xiaoduo understood everything at once, the demon who predicted the future, and the deaths of the four students all had answers.
"That night, they were bleeding." Chi Xiaoduo looked into Xiang Cheng's eyes and said, "Please Die Xian."
"Die Xian?" Xiang Cheng was taken aback, and then he understood.
"One is Die Fairy." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Who is the other one? Is the Pen Fairy?"
Xiang Cheng said: "I understand, the twin demons are ghosts."
"What... what?" Chi Xiaoduo said, "Chicken Immortal?"
Xiang Cheng: "..."
"Fushi." Xiang Cheng made a movement with his hand.
"Fuji?" Chi Xiaoduo didn't know why.
Xiang Cheng didn't know how to explain to Chi Xiaoduo at all, took the paper and wrote it for him, Chi Xiaoduo suddenly realized that he had thought of other things earlier.
So Chi Xiaoduo's entry can be updated again—chicken (black out) ghost fairy.
The ghost can predict the future, is very powerful, and very scary.
Xiang Cheng remained silent, sitting and thinking.
"How is it?" Zhou Wanyuan came down from the stairs, "Do you have an answer?"
"Spiritual Immortal." Chi Xiaoduo said.
"No, it's a ghost." Xiang Cheng said, "Blood to support a ghost."
"I didn't expect that." Zhou Wanyuan took a breath and said, "The students committed suicide, did they drop their blood to support the spirit? We have to notify the organization immediately..."
"Wait!" Xiang Cheng said coldly.
Zhou Wanyuan stopped, and Xiang Cheng said, "Assuming that demons can really predict the future, if you report back to the organization, will they not know?"
Zhou Wanyuan: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo looked blank, and said, "That is to say, we are talking here now, do they... the pen fairy and the dish fairy, also know?"
Xiang Cheng nodded and said, "Very likely."
Zhou Wanyuan said, "Not necessarily. If they knew, would they let us talk here?"
"You go and pay back." Xiang Cheng said, "You will bear the consequences."
Zhou Wanyuan didn't dare to take the risk, so she had to sit down again, and Chi Xiaoduo said, "This is against the sky. In other words, maybe we didn't even know what happened in the future, and we could have predicted it."
"Not necessarily." After Xiang Cheng said these three words, he fell into silence again.
Chi Xiaoduo spread out his notebook and compared the questions he wrote down earlier, feeling helpless. After thinking about it, he logged in to the literature library with a Koda account, most of which were stories about gods and ghosts, and Chi Xiaoduo was dazzled by the mention of "Fuji" and "Fuluan".
"According to the information." Chi Xiaoduo proposed, "The Qixian was called Zigu God in ancient times."
"There is too much discrepancy in the information." Zhou Wanyuan said indifferently, "When are they old antiques? If the information is usable, everyone will not be in a hurry. The gods have changed, and by this time, they don't know what they have evolved into."
Chi Xiaoduo said: "Then let's assume that this twin demon is a descendant of God Zigu, maybe an apprentice. Is it useful to ask God Zigu for help?"
Zhou Wanyuan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "There is no such thing, and Zigu God is all nonsense."
"Then how does the devil predict the future?" Chi Xiaoduo asked seriously.
Chi Xiaoduo looked at Zhou Wanyuan, then at Xiang Cheng, Xiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
"Bold assumptions, careful verification." Chi Xiaoduo shook his head and said, "There must be a reason, and this ability should be within a certain limit, otherwise everyone knows everything, and everyone doesn't need to play. "
"Yes."
This time, Xiang Cheng nodded, raised his eyebrows at Chi Xiaoduo, and said, "I'm thinking about this too."
Zhou Wanyuan said: "Xiang Daxian, can you make some internal connections, can you ask about the situation?"
Xiang Cheng said coldly, "I can't."
Zhou Wanyuan: "Don't be so smart, please. You are so kind to your little friend, but you have a wooden face to me. Is this old lady so annoying?"
Xiang Cheng: "No."
Chi Xiaoduo looked at the book attentively, Zhou Wanyuan got up, looked into the refrigerator, took a box of juice, divided it into three cups, and Xiang Cheng took it.
"Suppose these two guys have an ability." Chi Xiaoduo said, "If they can know the future, then this ability must be conditional and limited. Otherwise, you will not come out safely that night."
Xiang Cheng held the cup with his finger, leaned on the chair, pondered for a while, and nodded.
Zhou Wanyuan said: "I have subdued a mirage before, and this mirage has a similar feeling. Every demon needs to absorb resentment, and then strengthen its own ability."
"Yes." Xiang Cheng nodded and said, "It makes sense."
Chi Xiaoduo looked at Zhou Wanyuan and said, "It's like a mobile phone, fully charged, can you use it for a day?"
Zhou Wanyuan said: "It also depends on whether it uses its power or not. I think maybe the longer the future Die Xian foresees, the more power it will consume."
Chi Xiaoduo happily said: "If it doesn't predict the future, it's equivalent to being on standby, and it can be used for a long time."
"The strength of the signal also has an impact." Zhou Wanyuan said, "It also depends on the specific environment they are in, and the type of magic. For example, the standby time of Xiaomi and Huawei is different."
"Nokia is better." Chi Xiaoduo said.
Zhou Wanyuan said: "Apple is simply the king of electricity."
Chi Xiaoduo said: "6+ won't work anymore, it can be used for a long time on a charge now."
Zhou Wanyuan said unexpectedly: "Really? I'm about to sign a contract, will it appear too big?"
Chi Xiaoduo and Zhou Wanyuan began to study and discuss the standby time of each mobile phone. Zhou Wanyuan recommended Redmi to Chi Xiaoduo. The topic was dragged thousands of miles away. Xiang Cheng was still thinking, so the meeting became two people. While studying the mobile phone, one person is thinking about solving the case.
A mess of black lines appeared on Xiang Cheng's head, not long after, he said to Chi Xiaoduo: "Xiaoduo, let me take a look at the notebook."
Only then did Chi Xiaoduo remember something serious, and said to Zhou Wanyuan, "What did you just say..."
"Charge." Zhou Wanyuan's mouth twitched.
Chi Xiaoduo: "Yes! If Pen Fairy and Die Fairy follow this law, how do they charge?"
Zhou Wanyuan said: "It depends on its own ability."
Chi Xiaoduo recorded Zhou Wanyuan's experience of taking demons in the past, and said: "Then its ability to foresee the future can be strengthened by eating people..."
Xiang Cheng: "!!!"
Chi Xiaoduo: "...?"
"Wait." Xiang Cheng said, "I see, let's go."
"You should explain clearly first!" Zhou Wanyuan said furiously, "Even Conan has to analyze the case!"
Xiang Cheng picked up his bag, and the three of them went out, asking Zhou Wanyuan, "Where's the car?"
"No!" Zhou Wanyuan said angrily, "You don't even have the money to buy the down payment, so you still want to buy a car?"
Xiang Cheng glanced at Zhou Wanyuan's outfit.
Zhou Wanyuan: "..."
The three crowded the subway for a long time, and Xiang Cheng said, "How do you get in Lingjing Hutong?"
"There were Shaxian snacks at that door just now." Zhou Wanyuan said blankly, "Now the access points are much more open, and Jingkelong's warehouse can also enter."
Xiang Cheng: "..."
Getting off the bus halfway, the Lingjing Hutong was full of sunshine. When he came here, Chi Xiaoduo immediately had the feeling of "finding an organization". Everyone is an exorcist, and even a guard can fight monsters. There are gods and monsters in the outside world The strange terrifying aura was firmly blocked by such a block.
Chen Zhen is busy with work, and every time Chi Xiaoduo sees him, he feels that he is a little sleepy, but he still finds time to come over to listen to the three people's reports in the conference room. Rub away.
Apart from Chen Zhen and Keda, there was also a tall, thin, middle-aged man sitting in the conference room, wearing glasses, who was always silent.
"This is Yan Fei, the head of the executive department."
Zhou Wanyuan nodded to him.
"I was looking for you." Yan Fei smiled, "There is no need to investigate this case any further, let's close the file."
"What?!" All three were very surprised.
"What does this mean?" Zhou Wanyuan said, "I spent three months, and now you tell me that if I don't check it, I won't check it?"
Chen Zhen immediately signaled Zhou Wanyuan not to speak with his eyes, but Yan Fei laughed and shook his head.
"The meaning of the bureau." Yan Fei said with a smile, "I have no choice."
"What's the reason?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
Chen Zhen glanced at Chi Xiaoduo and said, "I didn't say anything, you should spend more time reviewing, the exam is coming soon."
Xiang Cheng said, "No."
Chen Zhen said: "Xiang Cheng, I have checked your electronic files, and you have never been disciplined. This is not Guangzhou and Chongqing. Can you be more peaceful in Beijing?"
Yan Fei raised his hand and said, "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, Director Chen, look at you..."
Xiang Cheng took a deep breath, and Koda immediately smoothed things over and said, "Let's report the process first, and prepare a file."
"Human life is more important, or discipline?" Xiang Cheng said in disbelief.
"Of course discipline is important." Chen Zhen said, "Can one life compare with the safety of the entire society?"
"One life is not social security?" Xiang Cheng said.
Chen Zhen: "This is the consideration of the order leader above, will it be less thoughtful than yours?"
"It's just a bunch of trash!" Xiang Cheng said angrily, "When will it be done?!"
Chen Zhen's face changed, Yan Fei laughed loudly, packed up the materials, and said: "You talk, I'll go first, Xiao Ke will bring me the record later. Remember, we exorcists are careful in everything The plan must be thorough, and the plan must be detailed.”
"Hey!" Koda immediately said, "Okay."
Yan Fei closed the door and left.
"It doesn't matter what you say in front of me." Chen Zhen said coldly to Xiang Cheng, "Go out and talk? No one can help you. I have already covered you for the last time. With your identity and the sword of wisdom, I was very sensitive at first, I still remember what happened in Wushan back then, did you calculate it yourself? How many people died? When you left that day, the minister asked me if you came to seek revenge or settle old scores?! What would others think? Just Can't you handle it more smoothly?!"
"The magic weapon is originally my family's thing! What kind of old account?!" Xiang Cheng said angrily, "If they didn't have a guilty conscience, who would miss my parents?! Don't you say that you have a clear conscience?! Come on! Let them all come here! "
"You go now, the meeting is next door." Chen Zhen pointed out the door and said, "If you don't go, you're a dog."
"Stop making noise!" Zhou Wanyuan said angrily.
Xiang Cheng got up, knocked over the chair, turned and went out, Chi Xiaoduo and Da Ke got up immediately, and chased them out.
Xiang Cheng didn't go to the office next door. Instead, the door of the safe passage slammed, and Koda and Chi Xiaoduo stood outside the door, looking at each other. Chi Xiaoduo pushed the door open, and Koda turned back to the conference room.
In the dark, Xiang Cheng was smoking.
"Are you okay?" Chi Xiaoduo asked cautiously.
Xiang Cheng didn't answer.
When Chi Xiaoduo passed by, Xiang Cheng suddenly put him in his arms, lowered his head, and hugged him tightly.
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't know what happened, so he hugged Xiang Cheng's neck with his backhand, and whispered in his ear: "Don't be angry, let's go."
Xiang Cheng took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and let go of Chi Xiaoduo.
"Go back and sit down." Xiang Cheng replied, "I'll come back to you later."
Chi Xiaoduo hummed, touched the back of Xiang Cheng's head, and returned to the conference room. Chen Zhen, Koda and Zhou Wanyuan were all sitting, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
"I don't think exorcising demons is enough." Zhou Wanyuan said, "Everyone, stop tossing around, let's disband and go home to farm."
Koda burst out laughing. Chen Zhen took a sip of tea and said, "You have to settle the major issues of your marriage before disbanding."
Zhou Wanyuan's face darkened, and Da Da couldn't laugh immediately.
"Director Chen." Da Ke said sincerely, "Now is not the age of arranged marriages, this..."
Da Ke held hands, thumbs circling around, Zhou Wanyuan looked at Da Da bitterly, Da Da said: "Ms. Zhou is a human being, I admire and admire it very much, it's not that I don't want to, it's really impossible, organized Good intentions, I will take it."
Zhou Wanyuan couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Chen Zhen: "Does the expulsion committee want to change careers and become a dating agency or what do you want to do? Don't investigate so many murder cases and match us up every day. Aren't you embarrassed?" "No embarrassment " Chen Zhen said, "It's not about matching me, what's so embarrassing."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo was lying on the table, laughing like crazy.
Keda glanced at Chi Xiaoduo, and said to Chen Zhen, "I really can't do it."
"Why can't it be done?" Chen Zhen asked, "Is it difficult to cultivate a relationship?"
"I don't have feelings for women..." Da Ke said solemnly, "I'm Xiong Gong."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
"Have you ever been on 1069?" Keda said, "Director Chen, come on, let me explain to you the titles in our gay circle. 1 means the one on the top, and 0 means..."
Zhou Wanyuan: "..."
"Go and explain to the leader." Chen Zhenyi pointed to the office next door, and said, "Director Wang is having a meeting next door, so you can make a PPT by the way, and explain the various body positions by the way, so that no one will bother you again."
Reachable: "..."
Xiang Cheng came in, sat on a chair, and everyone stopped talking again.
"Report the situation." Chen Zhen said, "I'm very busy in the afternoon, so let's be concise. Let's get started. Who's coming?"
Everyone looked at Chi Xiaoduo, so Chi Xiaoduo had no choice but to bite the bullet, spread out his notebook, glanced at Xiang Cheng, and said, "The enemy is a ghost."
"Chicken?" Chen Zhen said inexplicably, "What kind of chicken has this ability."
"The shaman who supports the shaman." Chi Xiaoduo explained cautiously, "It can predict the future to a certain extent. The one we saw at the vegetable market that day was the pen fairy. The one who caused the four students to commit suicide was the dish fairy. We guess The most important thing is that Die Xian takes human life in order to strengthen his own cultivation."
Xiang Cheng said, "The power of ghosts can penetrate the universe. By absorbing ghosts, you can gain the power to penetrate the universe."
Chen Zhen remained silent, but Koda asked inexplicably, "What is Tongzhou?"
Zhou Wanyuan said impatiently: "Zhou, time. If people become ghosts by default, they can see the future. Xiang Daxian is smart, so I want to understand."
"En." Chen Zhen nodded.
"Oh—" Koda nodded.
Everyone understood, only Chi Xiaoduo didn't understand, and he yelled in his heart and turned the table, can you take care of the needs of the bystanders! Does a tacit look discriminate against me as a layman
"Why?" Chi Xiaoduo asked inexplicably.
"Ghost power is universal." Da Ke said, "Fairies are poor, but ghost power is universal."
Xiang Cheng explained: "Ghosts can see the future."
"Why?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
Zhou Wanyuan said: "Have you never been entrusted with dreams by your relatives? Usually when you are about to be in danger, the deceased relatives will give you dreams to let you escape in a few days. Of course you can't escape, you have to see Made good."
Xiang Cheng nodded and said: "So ghosts can see the future, this is the default in the industry."
"But why can the ghost see the future?" Chi Xiaoduo asked again.
"How do you know that?" Zhou Wanyuan said, "Why don't you ask why there are so many stars in the sky?"
"The stars twinkle and twinkle." Chi Xiaoduo said, "It's because the atmosphere expands with heat and contracts with cold, and the density of cold air is higher than that of hot air. When it flows, the light of stars will be refracted many times..."
"Enough!" Zhou Wanyuan screamed, "It's just a metaphor! Don't worry about it!"
"The soul can see the future." Chen Zhen covered the thermos and said, "It is because their essence exists in the five-dimensional world, so they can see what happens in the four-dimensional space. This research topic is very complicated. I haven't come up with a definite report, let's talk about it later, let's start with this... "
"Hey!" Da Ke called Chen Zhen.
Chen Zhen said: "Prepare the files, cancel the case, that's it, don't cause trouble for me during the exam."
Chen Zhen left, the four of them looked at each other, Xiang Cheng got up, and left with Chi Xiaoduo.
In the evening, Chi Xiaoduo and Xiang Cheng sat on the square outside the Exorcism Office. The fountain flickered with golden broken light. There were many pigeons in front of the square. Chi Xiaoduo and Xiang Cheng bought two corns and broke them apart. Feed the pigeons.
Xiang Cheng hadn't spoken since he came out of the meeting, and Chi Xiaoduo didn't ask any more questions, as long as he kept quiet at this time.
The driving committee actually kept pigeons. Chi Xiaoduo looked at Xiang Cheng while thinking about what kind of pigeons these were.
Sigui ate corn among the pigeons, Chi Xiaoduo waved at it, and Sigui flew over. Chi Xiaoduo always remembered Chen Zhen's words, Wu Shan, Xiang Cheng's parents, many people died. Are those all grievances from the previous generation? He didn't dare to inquire, and just stayed in a daze with Xiang Cheng. Thinking of the reactions of Koda and Zhou Wanyuan, he couldn't help laughing again.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiang Cheng glanced at Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo said: "I think it's fun for Zhou Wanyuan to be forced into marriage all day long hahaha."
Xiang Cheng also laughed suddenly, and Chi Xiaoduo said, "Why was Wanyuan forced to be handed over to Da Keda? They don't like each other."
Xiang Cheng didn't know either, he shook his head and sighed.
Chi Xiaoduo put one hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't be depressed, pass the certificate test, let's go to another place to collect monsters together?"
Xiang Cheng nodded and said, "Forget it, it's nothing. It's really not easy to mix in big cities."
Chi Xiaoduo wanted to leave, but Xiang Cheng said, "Come with me to the basement."
Chi Xiaoduo remembered that there was a commercial street here, so the two of them went down the escalator on the first floor to the first floor. The first floor is like the Xidan underground department store, bustling with small commodities everywhere.
There was a wide variety of goods, most of which were antiques and small ornaments. Chi Xiaoduo was dumbfounded and asked, "Are these all for exorcism?"
"Not exactly." Xiang Cheng said, "Be careful not to buy fake products."
Xiang Cheng's mood recovered a bit, and the two visited a few shops along the way, some selling mirrors, some selling talisman bags, and one selling "blank talismans". With white and yellow papyrus.
"How to sell?" Xiang Cheng asked.
"The yellow one is eighty." The boss said, "The red one is one hundred and sixty, the blue one is three hundred, and the black one is five hundred."
Xiang Cheng counted two blue ones and one black one, gave the boss one thousand and one, and went out with a stack of money.
"What's the use of white?" Chi Xiaoduo asked curiously.
"The white ones go with other colors." Xiang Cheng explained to Chi Xiaoduo.
The boss looked at Chi Xiaoduo strangely, and counted three white talismans to Xiang Cheng.
"It's me… "
"It's okay." Xiang Cheng said, "You can ask anything."
Chi Xiaoduo was relieved and nodded.
They passed a wind chime shop. The wind chimes in the shop were hung like curtains, and all of them rang in pieces at once, like the sound of rain.
What a nice view! Chi Xiaoduo thought to himself, and was about to go in to have a look, but noticed that the shop owners around him poked their heads out strangely and looked at Xiang Cheng.
"Change one." Xiang Cheng said unnaturally.
Chi Xiaoduo: "???"
Xiang Cheng walked away with Chi Xiaoduo, and all the bosses near the wind chime shop looked at him.
Chi Xiaoduo felt it, it was a kind of discrimination and prejudice hidden under his eyes, why did it happen? The bosses don't know them, is it because it's wrong to bring him in as an outsider
