"Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun, based on what I saw along the way, Miss Chu Qi is indeed a non-human being."
On the evening of the second day after Fruit Bat Xiaohei delivered the letter, the two long-separated teams finally met at a post station fifty miles outside Jiangzhou City.
At that time, Chu Qi was enjoying the high-end treatment of a single room, while Zhan Zhao was going downstairs to eat when he happened to bump into Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce who had just entered.
As for the four main pillars, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Chao Chao Ma Han, they went to settle the carriages first.
The three of them looked at each other and had a tacit understanding in their hearts.
After Bao Zheng reserved the room, Zhan Zhao followed him in naturally.
They first talked about the weirdness of Jiangzhou and the dangers they might encounter next, and then the topic inevitably turned to Chu Qi.
"Guard Zhan, you are so sure, but are there any extraordinary details about that girl that can be used as evidence?"
"Of course there is. Miss Chu Qi has a slender figure but is very light. She is not even as heavy as a child."
Ah, regarding the issue of weight, this has to do with Hulu Company’s time travel rules.
You know, although it is commonplace for Chu Qi and his colleagues to travel across the world, as we all know, the turbulence of time and space is a completely disordered and unsolvable existence. Once you are accidentally involved, if there are no signposts, , then you may not be able to come back in this life.
Therefore, in order to ensure that every employee can return safely, Chuqi and the others will only extract a part of their spiritual energy to use as avatars for their work every time before they carry out time-travel work, while the main body sleeps in the recuperation cabin. This serves as a guide home.
At the same time, this measure can also effectively protect the life safety of the staff. Even if there are too many things encountered, it is inevitable that there will still be some mental stimulation, but that is a story for another day.
Of course, the extracted energy will be re-injected back into the body after returning, but part of the material will inevitably spill out during the process. Because of this, staff like Chuqi who travel frequently are relatively thin. .
In other words, I can’t gain weight even if I want to.
Therefore, in Zhan Zhao's opinion, Chu Qi, which was missing most of its material energy, seemed abnormally light.
"Other than that, my subordinates have never seen Miss Chu Qi eating in the past few days. Only on the first day, I grilled the fish and handed it to her, but she only took a small bite and stopped eating. .”
"Oh? If that is true, then it is so special that no one can achieve it. As far as I know, although Master Huayang of Wudang Mountain has practiced the art of fasting for many years, he still needs to drink some water every few days. Only then can we continue to maintain it.”
"No, no. These things don't completely prove that this woman is inhuman. Maybe it's because of her special skills or constitution? In short, the student still wants to witness it in person, so I'd like to trouble Zhan Guard to introduce her."
And what is the Chu Qi they are talking about doing now?
She was lying comfortably on the bed, eating a steamed bun.
On the seventh day of the lunar month: Bah, bah, bah, it smells so good.
After surviving in the wild for almost two months, she now feels that everything about human society is particularly attractive.
It's a pity that this happy time was short-lived. Before it lasted for a while, it was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
Chu Qi quickly got out of bed and tidied herself up.
"Please come in."
Needless to say, those who came in were Zhan Zhao with an embarrassed look on his face, Bao Zheng with a crescent moon on his head and a dark face, and Gongsun Ce, a white-faced scholar with a frown on his face.
"Good night, Miss Chuqi. I am Bao Zheng, and this is Mr. Gongsun Ce. Thanks to the girl for saving Zhan Guowei, we can meet safely. I want to thank the girl for disturbing me."
"No need to thank you. Mr. Zhan is a good man. I think whoever sees him in danger will help him."
As the center and person involved in the conversation between the two parties, Zhan Zhao seemed a little shy. In addition, his superior officer kept echoing the words. Master Yumao, who couldn't walk away or get in the conversation, almost turned into a braised cat head. .
Just when the atmosphere between the two parties was very harmonious, Gongsun Anti-Counterfeiter suddenly stood up. He first bowed to Chu Qi very solemnly and apologized, and then said that he wanted to feel her pulse.
Breathing shallowly may be a skill, being extremely light may be a special constitution, being able to hide one's body may be a magic trick, and not eating fireworks may be a way of hiding people's eyes and ears, but if a person doesn't even have a pulse, then...
Then he is really not a human being.
Faced with this kind of doubt, would Chu Qi be afraid?
of course not.
She even said that she likes to encounter such doubts the most. Once such a stubborn person is shattered by his worldview, he will give the most trust points.
Chu Qi is a person who uses the world as a cocoon and extracts its energy to weave. In other words, in the three thousand worlds, except for the darlings of the heaven in the high demon plane or the heaven itself, there is no one else who is better at using energy than them. of people.
As early as when she decided to play the role of a ghost, Chu Qi had already reserved part of her energy to cover her whole body in order to prevent this situation from happening.
So she handed over her hand calmly.
Then Gongsun Ce took his pulse for nearly half a cup of tea. The more he held it, the more solemn the expression on his face became. Finally he let go of his hand, bowed deeply to Chu Qi, and said:
"Thank you very much for the girl's willingness to cooperate with the student's arrogance. The world is so big and full of wonders. It's the students who are helpless. You shouldn't question the girl."
After saying that, he returned to his room with a twisted look on his face. Chu Qi watched him go out with pity, guessing that this classmate with a shattered outlook on life was trying to stick them back together.
"Please forgive me, Miss Chu Qi. Mr. Gongsun is sometimes stubborn. By the way, the messenger is here. It's thanks to him that I can learn about Guard Zhan this time."
After Gongsun Ce left, Bao Zheng made peace, and then took out the sleeping fruit bat from his pocket.
Chu Qi blinked.
——To be honest, if you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten that there is such a little thing.
With a normal expression, Chu Qi took the fruit bat and placed it in place, then thanked Bao Zheng.
"Thank you, Mr. Bao, for taking care of Xiao Hei."
"You don't have to be polite, girl. It's just that I still have some doubts in my heart that I would like to ask the girl to answer."
As soon as she heard this, Chu Qi knew that she had to start patching up the character again. Fortunately, she had already prepared the draft.
"Master Bao, please tell me."
"I met the girl today, and I realized that the strange stories among people are not groundless. I just don't know how much of it is true, how much of it is false, and how many wild fox ghosts in the mountains can be like girls and walk freely in the world."
"That's what happened... Master Bao, don't worry. The human world is protected by the laws of the human world. We, non-human beings, can never enter the human world privately, appear in front of others, or interfere in human affairs without the permission of the true God.
Just like ghosts, after death, people are led by impermanence and governed by the underworld. But I can return to the world because of the theft of the beauty picture.
That picture of a beautiful woman is not an extraordinary thing. If it were left in the human world, it would probably cause trouble. Therefore, Lord Wuchang and the City God allowed me to step into the mortal world, find the lost things, and only after I have redeemed my merits can I enter reincarnation again.
Otherwise, when my Yin life is exhausted, my body will die and my Tao will disappear. "
"So that's it. I also heard from Guard Zhan about the theft of the Beauty Picture. Please rest assured, girl. It concerns the safety of the world. Bao will try his best to investigate. But I don't know if the girl has any clues about the whereabouts of the Beauty Picture. ?”
Chu Qi thought about the location of the pawn shop he went to before, and said: "The last time I sensed the location of the beauty picture was in Jiangzhou."
As she said that, she turned to look out the window, pretending that she didn't see the quarrel between Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao.
Regarding the fact that both parties have the same destination, it can only be said that it is a coincidence.
"It seems that it is God's will. We are also going to Jiangzhou to investigate the case. This time, Miss Lao will go with us."
[Bao Zheng invites you to join the Kaifeng team. Do you agree? 】
I finally waited for this sentence!
Chu Qi gave herself a big thumbs up in her heart.
"I should thank you for your willingness to help me find the whereabouts of the beauty picture."
After sending Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao away, Chu Qi felt that most of the world's pressure was instantly relieved. Looking at the energy bar that was rising at a constant speed without stopping, the conscientious workers began to work happily.
Come out! The second wonder of the world!
[Foot accessories: Zigui Yeqi]: (Effect: floating, can create flying characteristics when accelerating at full speed)
Seeing the flame-like lines that suddenly appeared on his calves, Chu Qi was satisfied and started testing the new function in the room.
Sure enough, getting rid of gravity is the ultimate dream of mankind!
