The young man who came here in the wind and rain said something incomprehensible, which made the parents gathered near the counter confused for a moment.
at this time.
They suddenly saw a petite yellow figure jumping into the house, shaking off the rainwater on his body, and then quickly climbed onto the young man's shoulders, with a big smile on his little face.
"Pichu~"
Looking at this scene, instead of feeling cute, everyone took several steps back with fear on their faces.
"Demon... Demonic beast!"
Listening to the commotion from the crowd, the young man just looked calmly at the man who just spat at the bearded boss.
"Which classmate are you the parent of?"
Facing the young man's questions and the gaze of the little yellow monster, the man swallowed, glanced at Qiao Cheng next to him, felt a little more at ease, and boldly said his child's name.
"That's right."
The young man nodded and said slowly.
"The fact that your child is still in a coma is my fault."
As he spoke, the young man took out a mobile phone from his pocket, then clicked on a simply edited video and placed it in front of the counter.
"Look at this."
Although he was filled with anger, the man still subconsciously glanced at the mobile phone on the counter next to him.
In the video, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
That was his son. He was holding a small piece of paper in his hand. He looked at his companion next to him, then snickered and put the piece of paper on the back of the little girl in front of him.
It was a typical prank, but it was also very useful. After class, amidst the laughter of many people, the little girl realized that she had been slapped with a note.
She silently took off the note from her back, lowered her head and sat on her seat without speaking.
Hiding seats, pulling hair...
In just a few minutes of video, his good son showed him four or five ways to play pranks. It seemed that the less the little girl resisted, the more they used pranks to elicit a reaction from the little girl.
Until the last time, the cursed doll broke out.
The man's expression froze.
The parents present were also talking quietly.
Sudden.
A tall figure stood up, and before anyone had time to react, a punch landed directly on the man's face, instantly knocking him to the ground.
Then, the bearded boss, who was always cheerful and always greeted people with a smile, was like a volcano erupting. He grabbed a handful of the man's hair on the ground and roared angrily.
"Does it feel good to have your hair grabbed like this!?"
As he said that, the bearded boss raised his fist and was about to hit it again.
Fortunately, Qiao Cheng and Ah Hui reacted and rushed over in time, stopping the bearded boss with difficulty.
"Boss, forget it."
"Boss, please calm down. You really can't do anything wrong with a parent like this."
I was so excited.
Chen Mo looked at the bearded boss who was still furious, and thought about the scene where Xiaoyou impulsively ran towards the cursed doll today, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
As expected of a father and daughter.
Ignoring the chaotic situation, Chen Mo said slowly towards the figure getting up from the ground.
"To put it simply, the reason your son is still in a coma is because he is still experiencing a dream. As for the content of the dream, it is the things he has done before, but the object of the prank was replaced by he."
"This...how is this possible..."
"Humans really can't do it, but elves can."
This is what Chen Mo told Ghost Stone. He wanted Ghost Stone to use its abilities to provide a unique special education to these children who like to 'prank'.
"If nothing else happens, your child will wake up on time at twelve o'clock tonight."
Chen Mo said these words to the man, and then looked at the parents surrounding him.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should also be here because your children were attacked by ghosts, right?"
Most parents still have some idea of what kind of personality their children have.
After what happened to the man just now, many people have already backed down.
at this time.
A tall figure wearing a raincoat walked in from outside the hotel. He glanced at the people around him, then looked at Chen Mo, his voice was as low as usual.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"No, Brother Yi, you came back at the right time. How did things go?"
"I have done a survey on everything, and the audio has been sent to your mailbox. Here is the information I compiled myself."
As Brother Yi spoke, he took out a paper document from his arms and handed it to Chen Mo's hand.
After briefly browsing, Chen Mo closed the document, looked at the parents in front of him, and said slowly.
"The ghost that attacked your children is called the cursed doll, which is the elf that appeared in the video just now. As for the reason for the attack, after watching the video just now, I think you can almost understand it."
The words just fell.
The crowd immediately started talking.
After a long time, someone finally stood up.
"As far as I know, my child has not had any violent tendencies since he was a child, has good grades, and gets along well with his classmates. Moreover, he is in fifth grade and is not on the same floor as the child named 'Xiaoyou' , there is no chance of contact at all on weekdays, but the problem is, my children are still attacked by ghosts. "
"Which one of your children is it?"
"Xiao Ran."
Before Chen Mo could speak, Brother Yi had already walked to the counter, turned on the recorder, and started playing an audio clip.
"Do you know Xiaoyou?"
"know…"
"Why? You and she are usually not on the same floor, so you probably don't know each other."
"...She is very good-looking. I only found out about her through my friends."
"What happened when you last met Xiaoyou before you were attacked by the ghost?"
"My friends said she was a big idiot without a mother, and asked me to say the same thing, and then I...said...I, I really didn't mean it, they taught me to say that."
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Teacher Wang. Let Xiao Ran go back and let the next student come in."
The audio stopped abruptly with Brother Yi's voice.
The face of the parent who asked Chen Mo just now turned completely dark.
Chen Mo opened the information and said slowly.
"Classmate Xiao Ran, right? He was attacked by a ghost and fell to the ground. In the process, his arms, calves and other parts suffered abrasions. The treatment time..."
"No need to read it, no need to read it..."
Chen Mo looked at Xiao Ran's parents who quickly retreated to the back of the crowd. He didn't say anything and just looked at the others.
"Since most of the victims of the ghost attack have arrived, we might as well open the matter up today and let the police figure it out. We have the police here, and we accept compensation and apology, but I don't know if you are willing."
"After I've finished speaking, what do you think?"
——
ten minutes later.
The crowd gathered in the hotel completely dispersed.
The bearded boss sat on the steps in front of the counter, his face full of decadence.
A long while.
As if he finally remembered something, he hurriedly raised his head and asked Chen Mo.
"Where is Xiaoyou? Didn't she come back with you?"
"Her."
Chen Mo raised his head and glanced upstairs.
In the room on the second floor.
The bearded boss saw Xiaoyou, who had already changed into pajamas, hugging the cursed doll tightly, and fell asleep on the bed.
After glancing at his daughter who was falling asleep with a smile on her face, the bearded boss silently turned off the light for her, and then quietly retreated out.
"I don't think it's necessary for Xiaoyou to get involved in the previous things, so I asked Bibiniao to take her up the corridor in the backyard first."
In the common room of the hotel, Chen Mo looked at the bearded boss who was obviously very depressed and didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
at this time.
Ah Hui brought a box of beer from somewhere, opened one bottle, and placed it in front of the bearded boss.
"Drink?"
He raised his head and glanced at Ah Hui, then at the bottle of bubbling beer placed in front of him, the bearded boss said with a wry smile.
"I haven't had a drink in almost ten years..."
The bearded boss said that the last time he drank was when Xiaoyou's mother passed away. During that time, he was often drunk and unconscious.
Until one day, his neighbor inadvertently heard the cry of a child, so he woke up the bearded boss who was lying drunk on the floor of the hotel, and then cursed him.
Seeing Xiaoyou being put into his arms by his neighbor and still crying, the bearded boss suddenly came to his senses and decided to quit drinking.
This precept lasts for ten years.
I'm afraid my former wife never imagined that her husband, who would take a sip of wine from time to time, would give up his alcohol addiction so quickly and easily.
But this time, the bearded boss still didn't drink. He just slapped himself hard several times while Chen Mo and others watched.
It's still raining.
Although there are still some minor issues that have not been fully resolved in Ziyuan Town, Chen Mo no longer intends to stay here.
On the occasion of parting.
Qiao Cheng, the bearded boss, and Xiao You holding the cursed doll all chose to see Chen Mo and his party off.
"Boss, have you really decided?"
Chen Mo looked at the bearded boss and asked again.
Last night, the bearded boss talked to Chen Mo and others about something.
After a while, he will take Xiaoyou away from Ziyuan Town.
The hotel will be sold, and the money will be used to compensate for the damage to the building of Ziyuan Elementary School, as well as those who were innocently slandered due to the cursed doll incident, such as some students in the classroom yesterday.
The bearded boss holding an umbrella glanced at Xiaoyou next to him and smiled slightly.
"I am not a local in the first place. I chose to stay here because of love. Now, it's time to leave."
Chen Mo said nothing.
Of course he knew that there was another reason why the bearded boss left here, which was to follow Xiaoyou's cursed doll. Although the previous ghost attacks had come to an end, the hatred for the cursed doll was not so simple and easy to eliminate.
at this time.
Brother Yi, who was usually silent, suddenly stood up. He looked at the bearded boss and asked directly without any emotion in his tone.
"Are you planning to go somewhere?"
"Um…"
The bearded boss paused, then smiled.
"Maybe I'll go back to my hometown in the north. I haven't been back for many years, and I don't know what that place is like now."
"I have a suggestion here. Go to Anping City. They are planning to build the first new city where humans and elves coexist. With Xiaoyou's current situation, it is just right to go there. Moreover, the Warcraft Research and Countermeasures Bureau is now facing Xiaoyou. A new policy has been introduced for this group of people, which not only provides benefits in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but can also help solve Xiaoyou’s learning difficulties.”
Chen Mo turned his head, took a deep look at Brother Yi, and then said helpfully.
"I live in Anping City. Compared with other cities, Anping City is indeed a good place for you bosses."
"this…"
The bearded boss's face clearly showed excitement.
Brother Yi calmly took out a business card from his body and handed it to the bearded boss.
"Don't worry, you can go whenever you want. Here is the contact information of the person in charge."
The person with the name was none other than Professor Zhou from the World of Warcraft Research and Countermeasures Bureau, whom Chen Mo was familiar with.
After a brief chat, Chen Mo looked at Qiao Cheng again.
"Xiao Qiao, are you ready to leave Aster Town?"
"that…"
Qiao Cheng hesitated for a moment, but finally said.
"Brother Mo, let me tell you the truth. I have already asked for permission from the superiors. I may stay in Aster Town for a long time in the future."
"ha?"
Ah Hui looked puzzled.
After these two days, his favorable impression of Aster Town had dropped to freezing point. Coupled with the friendly relationship between him and Qiao Cheng, he felt that he needed to say something to Qiao Cheng at this time.
"Xiao Qiao, don't think too hard. There is really no need to stay in this crappy place. Your investigation mission is over. Why are you still here?"
Qiao Cheng scratched his head, glanced at Chen Mo quietly, and then said with a smile.
"The main reason why Aster Town has evolved from a special tourist town to what it is now is because of the influence of elves, which caused the tourism industry to decline."
"The decrease in income and the growing resentment against the elves led to the cursed doll going berserk."
"If this conflict is not resolved in time, even if Xiaoyou takes Xiaoji away, new cursed dolls will definitely breed here."
"This is not what I want to see. I know that Brother Mo cannot stay in one place forever to solve a problem, but as a fan of Brother Mo, I feel it is necessary for me to do something for this town that is troubled by the elf problem. What."
"So, I want to stay here."
A small town in the rain.
Some are leaving and some are choosing to stay.
Watching the off-road vehicle heading towards the path, the white figure standing on a hilltop turned around and blended into the wind and rain, turning into a white phantom.
at the same time.
A purple-black ghost glanced back at the town behind him, and gradually his figure disappeared into the drizzle.
