Returning to school life is supposed to make everything better, a peaceful life, a quiet campus, and away from blood and weirdness.
At least that's what he thought until he realized that nothing had changed in his life.
Behind the desk filled with other people's belongings and books, in the corner filled with dust and cobwebs, Chen Qing's phone rang with a text message from the class teacher as usual.
He looked at his cell phone, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice unconsciously.
"Your presence is quite low." Beside him, Bu Zhaozhao's voice reached Chen Qing's ears.
She did not appear, and her voice came directly into Chen Qing's ears. According to her, this was called the spirit behind her.
"I haven't been here for half the semester. It's normal." He shook his head openly, his voice being muffled by the teacher on the podium.
"And all the people who were familiar with me in the past have died, and their memories have been modified. To be honest, it would be great if the students in this class can still remember me."
Chen Qing murmured softly and told Bu Zhaozhao about the strangeness and back room of his first contact.
"The back room that time must have something to do with your foundation."
Behind the desk, he flipped through the books on his desk. Many names he had not seen for a long time.
He sighed, randomly picked out two books and placed them in front of him.
"Based on your description, this doesn't look like the work of our foundation."
"Oh?" Chen Qing was a little surprised.
"There is no organization or a large number of personnel transfers. This is inconsistent with the foundation's consistent style. At least it is inconsistent with my style back then.
If I were to say...it would be more like the style of the Divine Grace Cult. "
"Why."
The end of get out of class bell sounded in his ears, but none of the students around him got up.
"The Foundation advocates using human and financial resources to bulldoze the back room. If the investigators who came here to investigate at that time were from the Foundation, your school would have been bought out the next day.
To put it simply, it means that the non-relics inside will not be lost.
But the Divine Grace Cult is different. They like to let mortals break into the back room, and they also like to let them die in it.
For them, dying under the gaze of the gods is a privilege, as is being able to receive rewards from the gods through the back room. "
"Yeah..." He was silent for a while, which was consistent with his past experience.
"anyway."
"Um?"
"When are you going to buy a house?"
"Isn't it okay there now?"
"Are you kidding me!" Bu Zhaozhao's voice sounded disgusted: "There isn't even a decent laboratory. And you don't have a proper storage device. Are you going to take all non-relics with you and store them in the future?"
Chen Qing frowned: "Do you have any legacy of gold bars from the past? Give me some."
Bu Zhaozhao's voice disappeared for a long time, and after he was sure that he would not get a reply, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Looks like I have to go back to the old house and have a look..."
He muttered in a low voice, and the noise of the end of get out of class also came to his ears. The teacher who was dragging the class finally left, and the students in the class began to rush to the toilet.
"It's so nice. Such a peaceful and quiet day."
He was lying on the table and was about to fall asleep when a figure appeared at the door of the classroom.
The first moment that figure appeared, Chen Qing's brows jumped suddenly.
"Oh?"
He watched Jiang Wan's figure appear in front of him, and the eyes of countless students were following her. They watched Jiang Wan's figure walking towards the corner of the classroom, with a somewhat anxious look on their faces.
"Hurry up and follow me!"
She looked at Chen Qing's bored look and didn't care what to cover up. She grabbed his wrist and said as she walked: "What time is it! Do you still want to sleep?!"
He was led by Jiang Wan in a daze, and walked past every student in the class. He was then led by Jiang Wan, and walked past every student in the corridor.
"Hey...the police are here to arrest someone..."
"It doesn't look like that... I didn't even handcuff him."
"Hey, you guys don't understand. Maybe this kid is two-pronged and his girlfriend, a police officer, found out? Hehehehe."
"You said the possibility of him being caught cheating on the exam is higher."
Wherever Chen Qing walked, the students were all talking.
…
In the teaching office, several teachers frowned. They looked at Chen Qing who was being pulled away, with obvious anger in their eyes.
"What kind of thing is this! A senior high school student doesn't read all day long! Follow this guy..." The teacher hesitated for a moment and suppressed the description in his mouth: "Fooling around."
"That is to say, Chen Qingqing is a good prospect... If he works harder, he might be able to get good results in the college entrance examination."
His class teacher frowned, suddenly remembered something, and modified the automatic text message on his phone.
"There is no way..." Listening to the complaints of other teachers, the dean gave a bitter smile and shook his head slightly: "This order to assist in the investigation was issued by the city, and it was all handed down to our principal. Who can change it? Listen. He said that this case has a great impact...just go, it will only be a week at most?"
He muttered, but did not notice that the expression on the head teacher Chen Qing's face turned even worse.
One week? one semester!
This kid hasn't come to school for most of the semester!
He muttered, but finally accepted the reality and sat back in his seat.
…
In the police car at the school gate, Chen Qing had skillfully taken out two packets of potato chips from the truck compartment and started eating them by himself: "What's going on? You suddenly came to the school to find me. Didn't you say that you are here today?" I’m going back to resume my life, won’t there be anything else happening in a short time?”
Jiang Wan's forehead was sweating, her face was a little pale, and the dark circles on her face looked heavy.
"That all happened the day before yesterday!" Jiang Wan was silent for a moment before continuing: "After returning to life, something very bad in nature happened in the police force.
In other words... something happened in the team from the day I went back to resume my life. "
He looked at Jiang Wan's obvious dark circles and was a little curious: "You haven't slept in two days?"
She shook her head: "Let's take a rest, don't dare to sleep." She turned her head, and after making sure there was no one around, she sounded the alarm and drove towards the police station.
"What happened?" Seeing her serious look, Chen Qing put the snacks in his hands back to their original places.
"You remember that I'm going back to revive you, right?"
He nodded.
"That was the day before yesterday..." She looked ahead and murmured as she began to remember.
…
Two days ago, after Jiang Wan and Chen Qing separated, she returned to the police force. If it were the usual ordinary cases, if it was a normal disappearance or absence from work for two days, the punishment for Jiang Wan would be quite serious.
Under these circumstances, even a downgrade penalty was not impossible, which made the colleagues who were jealous of Jiang Wan excited.
But what exceeded their expectations was that after Jiang Wan had an overnight conversation with several people in charge, none of the punishments they expected fell on Jiang Wan.
The final punishment handed down in the police station was a mild deduction of the monthly performance bonus.
This kind of punishment couldn't even be called a punishment. After all, three days of absence from work...it only cost about this amount.
This made Qi Botao and several other colleagues angry, but when they complained to the review department, they received feedback that the other party was performing a secret mission, which was a reasonable punishment.
They were dissatisfied, and when they returned to the police station, they saw Jiang Wan rushing to record the previous incident records and reports, and evil thoughts suddenly appeared in their hearts.
In the early morning when Jiang Wan finished recording and reporting the incident, she put the file on the desktop and went home to sleep for a whole day.
The next day, Jiang Wan was woken up by a phone call while she was still sleeping. The voice on the phone was very serious and asked her what she had written in the report.
At this point, Jiang Wan was still puzzled.
But it wasn't until half an hour later, when Jiang Wan rushed back to the police station, that she was stunned when she saw Qi Botao's body hanging on the electric fan in the police station lobby spinning continuously.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wan heard the question again.
"What was written in your report document!"
She looked at him in surprise. The fingertips of her immediate boss were trembling.
Immediately afterwards, she heard a sentence that she would never forget in her life: "That night, the three people who peeked at your report records all committed suicide."
…
Jiang Wan turned to look at Chen Qing and smiled remorsefully: "I really didn't expect that document..."
"So you...this happened yesterday, why did you come to me today?" Chen Qing frowned, obviously a little confused.
She shook her head and sighed: "They have been investigating me since I returned to the police station yesterday, but what can they find out about this... strange thing, this thing related to extraordinary things?
Later, my direct boss came forward to protect me, and I was able to come to you for help. "
Chen Qing understood, clapped his hands and then said to Jiang Wan: "You guys are at your wits' end, so you thought that people from the private sector can help, right?"
She smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly.
…
Half an hour later, at the door of the city police station.
Several cordons have been sealed tightly.
Jiang Wan opened a corner of the cordon, and when the sentries at the door approached, she took out the documents in her arms.
"Jiang Wan, this is Chen Qing. He came to help with the investigation. He has documents."
She turned back and glanced at Chen Qing, who was constantly looking around, and added: "He has a plan."
After hearing this, the two sentries' eyes stayed on Chen Qing for a while longer, then turned around and returned to the door to continue standing guard.
The two of them walked in together. After climbing the stairs, as soon as they opened the door of the police station, Chen Qing's face wrinkled tightly.
"Oh. Tomatoes hitting tomatoes, the ground is bloody."
He looked at the way the room was covered in blood. The spray-like blood was smeared on the ceiling, and the sputtering blood was all over the ground. The blood that was thrown out had a strange beauty, like a huge whirlpool.
