Teacher Qi led Jiang Jinjiu to the community outside the north wall of the school, entered the residential building near the center of the school, and went up to the sixth floor.
"Please come in. No need to take off your shoes. Come sit on the balcony."
Teacher Qi went to the kitchen, and Jiang Jinjiu entered the living room and observed the room.
It has a two-bedroom and one-living room layout, with the kitchen on one side of the living room and the balcony on the other. It is made into an open plan, and the overall decoration is simple and elegant.
The living room only has a set of sofas and a combination bookcase. There is only a TV on the cabinet, and the shelves are all empty.
There is a large oval sky-blue rubber mat spread on the floor in the middle of the living room, which seems to be used for sound insulation during exercise.
The kitchen looks like a company pantry, and a set of small round tables and chairs in Nordic style are placed on the balcony. It makes people feel that a white-collar worker should live here, not a teacher.
Jiang Jinjiu sat on a chair, overlooking the entire campus through the window.
Did she see everything that just happened?
He looked at Teacher Qi who was working in the kitchen, and his thoughts became more and more random.
After a while, Teacher Qi came over with a dinner plate. There's a glass of milk and two ham sandwiches. She herself is a cup of hot water.
"Please eat, you're welcome."
Jiang Jinjiu didn't feel hungry, but Teacher Qi's tone was plain and easy-going, but it made him feel like it was an order he couldn't resist.
He said thank you and began to eat and drink cautiously.
It's quite delicious.
After two bites, he felt hungry and ate faster, not paying attention to Teacher Qi's eyes.
After taking a sip of hot milk, I felt relaxed.
Just as he was about to reach for another sandwich, a lump of something suddenly fell on the table and made a "Hu" sound, which made him jump up in fright and knocked down his chair.
Taking a closer look, I saw a fluffy thing, gray and black.
Suddenly the upper part of it rotated, and two gold-rimmed black balls the size of one-yuan coins appeared!
Hu--
It's a ghost owl!
Jiang Jinjiu was in shock, staring into its eyes and unable to react for a moment.
It also stared into Jiang Jinjiu's eyes, motionless.
Teacher Qi was amused by the sight of big eyes staring at small eyes.
She held back her laughter and said, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."
Jiang Jinjiu smiled awkwardly and sat down timidly. The ghost owl kept staring into his eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable, so he had to stay as far away from the table as possible.
"You give it a piece of ham and it won't bother you anymore."
Jiang Jinjiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He dared to steal its food.
He tore off a piece of meat and handed it over carefully. But before it reached its mouth, about a palm away, a faint afterimage suddenly appeared in front of its eyes, and the meat actually reached its mouth!
Jiang Jinjiu was simply stunned, wondering if this was still an owl? !
Sure enough, after feeding it, it fluttered its wings, moved a few steps sideways to Teacher Qi, closed its eyes and stopped moving.
Looking at it this way, the little guy is quite cute.
Jiang Jinjiu couldn't bear to touch his itchy hands and drank up the rest of the milk.
As soon as he wiped his mouth clean, Teacher Qi asked, "Let me ask you, are you a paranormal reporter?"
Teacher Qi sounded soft when speaking, but always gave people a cold feeling.
Jiang Jinjiu felt that if he accidentally said something wrong, the consequences would be serious, and he hesitated whether he should admit it or not.
"I'm asking you, are you a paranormal reporter? Really?!"
Teacher Qi looked directly at Jiang Jinjiu. Ghost Owl suddenly opened his eyes wide and said "Hu——", which frightened Jiang Jinjiu and nodded, "Yes, I am."
Teacher Qi's eyes suddenly softened, and he said warmly, "You must be wondering whether what happened last night was a dream."
Jiang Jinjiu was very surprised and thought to himself, "It's impossible to see what's going on inside the building even from the balcony. How did she know that?!"
"I can tell you clearly that what happened last night is true. I asked Lanhua to help you uncork the bottle."
Hu--
Jiang Jinjiu looked at the little Ghost Owl's glaring reaction and thought, "Is Lanhua referring to this owl?"
In this way, Teacher Qi was a friend rather than an enemy, and Jiang Jinjiu immediately let go of his guard.
He asked, "Did you also do what happened after I fainted?"
"Yes, I will help you deal with the aftermath. You can rest assured that they will not remember what happened last night. I have changed their memories and taken care of their injuries. You will not have any trouble."
"How did you do it!?" Jiang Jinjiu exclaimed.
"I have already poisoned them, and it is easy to change their memories through hypnosis. Their injuries are healed by consuming their energy. However, they have side effects. You can treat them with medicine, so don't be afraid."
Jiang Jinjiu was at a loss, "Is there such an exaggerated thing!? Who is Teacher Qi!? And Teacher Qi talked about poison. Isn't that something on TV?"
He was full of questions, but he could only ask, "Why did Teacher Qi help me?"
Teacher Qi sighed and said quietly, "I hate them."
"Because of those things in school?"
"They killed my daughter."
"Your daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinjiu breathed a long sigh of relief. It turned out that the enemy of his enemy was his friend and would not hurt him.
Jiang Jinjiu sighed, "I didn't expect that someone as capable as you is also a victim."
"Yes! Even with this ability, you can't protect important people. It's really useless."
"No! No! No! That's not what I meant."
"It doesn't matter." Teacher Qi smiled, obviously curling up the corners of his mouth, but he smiled with a sad and helpless feeling.
Jiang Jinjiu suddenly felt that she was pitiful and had a tragic story, and he liked her a little more.
However, Jiang Jinjiu had more questions in his mind and asked, "Teacher Qi, they harmed your daughter and they were all caught today. Why did you change their memories and put them back?"
"They were not the masterminds behind Qiqi's death, so there was no need to alert the enemy."
"Qiqi? Are you talking about Lu Qiqi?"
Teacher Qi nodded.
"Lu Sanjiang's daughter Lu Qiqi!?"
Teacher Qi nodded again.
Jiang Jinjiu was a little confused. Isn't Lu Qiqi's mother Shen Yuping?
Teacher Qi saw his doubts and said, "It's a long story. I'll talk about it later. Have you ever heard of the Gnosis Temple?"
Jiang Jinjiu shook his head.
"It's a cult that originated from Japan. It's probably called Shenzhi Lingzhushe. It's tepid there, but it has developed in several places in China in the past few years. It is best at bewitching rich people, especially their thoughts. That’s not true. The current church seems to be small in scale but has a very good foundation.
"It's quite a skill to trick rich people into joining the association."
"There are indeed many methods, but they are all self-interested at the expense of others and can satisfy people's selfish desires. They are like drugs, greedy people need them, and they can't get rid of them after they get too much."
"But... let me ask you this, how could they kill your daughter?"
Teacher Qi's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a knife cutting away the flesh on a person's body. Her breathing became heavier and she looked very excited, but the expression on her face did not change.
She didn't answer immediately. She waited for more than ten seconds to calm down and then said, "You should have heard it there. They want to collect spiritual elements."
"Yes, they were talking about collecting spiritual elements, and they failed again. What is this spiritual element?"
"Lingsu is made from human souls and provides them with nutrients that they regard as spiritual cultivation. I investigated for more than a year before discovering how they operate. They have a kind of holy water. I guess it is the container where the spirit body is soaked in the pool. In the water, the pond water is blended with its scent. Drinking it is like planting a seed in the body. After the seed germinates, it will gradually erode the human soul. Some people will become puppets controlled by it, and some people will become it. Food. The essence of adults is stable, and it takes six or seven years for most people to show the first effects. But young people under the age of twenty are still in the growth stage, and their souls are not strong enough. If you have a daytime spirit within three days after drinking the holy water, Excited, the soul leaves the body while sleeping and enters a half-dream and half-awake state. On the third day, when the face is rosy and the dark circles under the eyes are very thick, it means that the person has similar attributes to the gods and is a good spiritual element. At this time, the cult will send several people to harm the person. Kill him and then harvest the spirit essence."
"These bastards have dark hearts, but can no one find out what they are doing to harm people?"
"Their hearts are very dark, but they are very careful in what they do. Their pharmaceutical experts have prepared a kind of chronic medicine. When enough medicine is accumulated in the body, the mind will gradually become insane, causing accidents and suicides. It is difficult to detect. It must be related to the drug. And the great thing about that drug is that you don’t need to take it every day, but only once every three to five times. After taking it fifteen times, the symptoms begin to appear. At that time, the only option is blood transfusion and there is no antidote. Generally speaking, the onset time is as short as two months, and at most two months. year. This way, we won’t make members suspicious and we can have enough food.”
"I'm going! Those who seek wealth and murder don't even have the bones left!"
"There are always some beasts among the Japanese who have ambitions that are not commensurate with their own. Although I don't know what their purpose is, this method of raising ghosts with ghosts is usually to raise demons. Judging from Japan's Onmyodo, They wanted to create a controllable demon.”
"Demon? What can it be used for?"
"Let's put it this way, have you ever watched the animated film Kishindoji?"
Jiang Jinjiu nodded.
"It's similar to a demon boy. It's a powerful thing controlled by others. Little Japan has packaged it as a demon that can eliminate demons, but it's actually quite the opposite. It's a monster that specializes in devouring human souls and corrupting people's hearts. A monster. In the area where it is located, people's hearts will slowly rot, and their negative psychology will become more serious. It will provoke people's dissatisfaction, fights, and destroy the peace of the world. The more decadent the soul, the more delicious food it has. The purpose of existence is to disturb the human world. Just as foreign countries generally provoke wars everywhere to make war profits, the Japanese also want to profit from chaos."
Jiang Jinjiu said angrily, "These beasts! They really are determined to kill me! They should all be caught and shot!"
"It's not yet time, and their main character hasn't shown up yet. I think it's because the demon hasn't been fed yet, so there's no need for the owner to show up. That's good, because it also makes it easier for me to lay out the plan slowly."
"Teacher Qi, do you want to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
"It's difficult on my own."
"Did Teacher Qi call the police?"
"Yes, but it's not yet time. It will take three years for my warbler Gu to fully control people."
"Warbler Gu?"
"You see the lanterns and flowers on the windowsills on each floor."
"Um."
"Those flowers are the nests of warblers. Warblers are as small as midges. They love to eat the fresh skin dander and sweat of young men and women. They can easily breed here."
Jiang Jinjiu was frightened, thinking that by doing this he was using students to feed bugs!
Teacher Qi saw something strange in his eyes and guessed what he was thinking.
"If the young midges in a pot of flowers are supplied to no less than five people, they will not affect health. There are thousands of people in the school, and it will be fine if I raise another hundred pots. I urgently need to raise a midge, and I can do it in three years at school. Success. Then I can use the people who have been poisoned by me to destroy that organization. For example, the six people last night, a total of thirty-two people have been poisoned by me. "
"There are quite a few people."
"It's a pity that they are all little minions."
Jiang Jinjiu suddenly thought that if Teacher Qi was so honest, he might have been poisoned by him too! ? I couldn't help but feel itchy on the back of my neck and couldn't help but scratch it.
Upon seeing this, Teacher Qi said, "Don't worry, I didn't poison you. The reason why I tell you so much is because you are a supernatural reporter."
Jiang Jinjiu's face was full of questions.
"Because you will definitely come into contact with them in the future. Whether you cater to them or resist them, I believe the people behind you will not let them go easily."
The person behind it? Jiang Jinjiu was puzzled. Could Teacher Qi be referring to Qin Zhenyang?
"Are you talking about our president?"
"He...before you really get to know him, it's better not to know too much about some things."
What and what? How else can I get to know Qin Zhenyang? Could it be...
Jiang Jinjiu raised his index finger and pointed at the sky and said, "You mean... there is someone above our president...?"
Teacher Qi smiled slightly and said, "Don't make random guesses. It's no good. You will know when it's time for you to know. Excessive pursuit will only get you into trouble. Isn't there a popular saying nowadays that curiosity killed the cat?"
Jiang Jinjiu nodded and thought to himself, "Then you still tell me so much."
"Actually, there is another reason. The heroic spirit can protect you, which means you are an upright person."
"Heroic Spirit?"
"I don't know what the person who gave you the bottle said, but that's what they are called in my hometown. The heroic spirits are formed by the martyrs of the past. It must be that the belief in their hearts was too strong, and they became like guardian angels."
"No wonder he hates little Japan so much."
"Every heroic spirit has unfinished tasks, so it can linger in the world for a long time. I hope you can try your best to help him transcend."
"Me? Can I do it?"
"The fact that he can possess you means that you two are destined."
"Then...what should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything deliberately. Most heroic spirits can't let go of their obsessions. As long as you continue to be a reporter, you should create many opportunities."
"How does Teacher Qi know so clearly?"
"There are a lot of stories like this in my hometown."
"Can you tell me something?"
"That's not important. I know your purpose of coming to school. Now I'll tell you the details so you can go back and do your work."
"You mean I can't continue to investigate this matter?"
"You can't protect yourself yet, and contact with that organization will do you no good."
"In this case, can I know about you? To be honest, I'm quite curious."
"You want to hear my story?"
"I miss you so much!"
