Aoba Office

"How's it going?" I asked on behalf of everyone.

"The condition is..." The thin man said.

"What we want to ask is how you and your ex-girlfriend were doing." Guo Yujie interrupted the thin man with a smirk on her face.

"Be serious." The thin man said seriously.

"Okay, be serious." Guo Yujie stopped smiling.

The thin man cleared his throat and said again: "The condition is that you must keep an empty stomach for twenty-four hours before the ceremony, and cannot eat or drink. At twelve o'clock at noon, sit in the sun for an hour."

"What the hell is this?" Guo Yujie blurted out.

"Even if you absorb Yang Qi, you can't let turbid food pollute your body." said the thin man.

"Lighting candles at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, this is all Western spiritualism. Absorbing Yang Qi?" Guo Yujie retorted.

"How do I know? It's probably an improved version that combines East and West." The thin man spread his hands.

"Actually, it makes sense." The fat man said, not sure whether he really felt that way or simply agreed with the thin man.

"Then you will fast from twelve o'clock today?" I asked the thin man.

The thin man nodded.

Chen Xiaoqiu suddenly said: "Is it possible that your girlfriend is deliberately teasing you?"

The atmosphere in the office suddenly reached freezing point.

"Didn't you do it together before?" Guo Yujie asked the thin man.

"I just listened to what she said, forget it. Just remember to light the candles at twelve o'clock..." The thin man was embarrassed.

"She must have been punished." Guo Yujie looked at the thin man sympathetically, "I'll starve for two meals, bask in the sun for an hour, starve again, and have to stay up until twelve o'clock..."

It sounds quite torturous.

Nothing bad will happen, but it will definitely be painful.

The skinny man's expression changed again and again.

"You used to be afraid of these, but now you have experienced so much... You can get back together, right? Does she have a new boyfriend?" Guo Yujie asked gossiping.

The thin man didn't answer. He took his cell phone and ran out again.

The four of us looked at each other.

Fatty and I shrugged at the same time.

The thin man still has to handle this matter himself.

The next phone call took the thin man a long time.

We didn't even see him during lunch.

In the afternoon, Fatty and I went to the police station to take notes.

This is just going through the motions. The policeman handling the case may have been misled by someone, thinking that Tang Wen, mother and son, were out having fun.

"The couple had an argument just the day before." The policeman chatted with us. "The neighbors heard it. It seemed that it was about a mentally ill relative..."

I heard it very unpleasantly.

I didn't see Tang Wen's husband, and I didn't know what kind of expression I would show or what I would say if I saw him.

If Granny Enna was still there, she might be able to help Tang Wen's husband get out of the haze of this incident.

Having abilities and how to use them and how to live are completely unrelated things.

My ability was just a tool for Ye Qing, and I never thought of applying it to my daily life.

I keep the supernatural and the real life separate and hope that they will always remain in harmony.

From this point of view, whether it is Granny Onna or the people from Aoba, whether it is voluntarily or out of necessity, they are at least more courageous than me.

The fat man patted me on the shoulder, "Don't think so much, Brother Qi."

"Um."

"We actually missed the opportunity. It's like we missed the opportunity to buy a house. Haha... That's okay." Fatty said, "It doesn't have to be that way. They have their risks."

People in Qingye do face a lot of risks and a lot of pain. Grandma Enna is probably the same.

I nodded. The two of us returned to the office. I went to report the situation to the old leader. He didn't say anything, didn't dislike me for being nosy, and didn't ask any more questions. This is not the first time I have seen this avoidance attitude from an old leader.

Probably, most people in this world will choose to avoid "trouble" when they encounter it.

The thin man sat lazily in his seat with an empty expression on his face.

I lip-synced Guo Yujie. Guo Yujie shook her head as an answer.

I'll watch Fatty again. He returned to the office before me, and he just kept stealing glances at the thin man.

Chen Xiaoqiu is even less likely to take the initiative to do something.

I coughed to remind the thin man that I was back.

The thin man looked over.

"How's it going?" I asked, the same question he asked when he called back to the office.

"Oh. She told me to die." The thin man sighed.

"What are you doing?" I was dumbfounded. "Didn't you call her and care about her during truth or dare?"

The thin man didn't tell us the outcome of that phone call.

The thin man spread his hands and said that he didn't understand it either.

"A woman's heart is like a needle in the ocean. Maybe it's her menstrual period?" the thin man guessed, touching his chin.

"You can really die." Guo Yujie complained.

"I really don't know where I poked her."

"Because you don't remember it. The ceremony was successful and she met the spiritual medium she admired. It must be a very important thing to her." Chen Xiaoqiu guessed.

"No way..." The thin man thought for a while, "Grandma Enna is very clever, but she just relays the words of the deceased. Nothing else. She was very happy to win the prize, and I flew over with her afterwards... I've met Grandma Enna flew back just before the end of the semester." The thin man pointed at me and the fat man.

When he said this, both Fatty and I showed expressions of sudden realization and said in unison: "That time!"

"It was that time. I took the final exam when I came back, and I did okay. That's it. She wasn't particularly excited. She just listened to her grandma and grandma's nagging. Both old ladies in her family favor boys over girls. . The older brothers are more valued among her peers. Oh, the two old ladies also asked her about the situation of several uncles, cousins, etc. It was not a pleasant experience. "

Not only is it unpleasant, it sounds kind of awful.

"Is this the case, so I feel bad when I recall it?" Guo Yujie guessed.

"Maybe..." The thin man wasn't sure, "Oh, I'll ask again tonight."

That's all for now.

I went home in the evening and had dinner with my parents. I went back to my room to look at my files and saw a message from a thin person in the group.

He had already asked clearly about the last condition of the ceremony.

"Exchange of equal value." The thin man said, "If there is something lost recently, the ritual will be successful and the wish will come true. This is actually a divination ritual with a slight magic touch, not a pure wish-making spell."

"No wonder your ex-girlfriend is angry. What has she lost?" Guo Yujie sent two messages in a row.

I suddenly remembered that time when the thin man went abroad with his girlfriend and came back in time for the final exam, and then...

"We broke up later." The thin man answered straightforwardly.

Guo Yujie said: "I can't tell, but you are still her true love."

The thin man rolled his eyes.

"Then let's forget about this ceremony." I said, "If your wish succeeds, Zhang Yifeng is dead. On the other hand, someone on our side may also die."

It would be better not to do such a ritual.

As soon as the idea came to my mind, I suddenly thought of Wu Ling and the others.

"If the people in Qingye knew about it, they would probably agree to perform this ritual. The problem of death can be solved by Lin Qi's ability." Chen Xiaoqiu said.

Update.

I just realized that "Dead by Daylight" is not "Until Dawn"... I have been puzzling before: why "Dawn" can still be played in black, and why "Dawn" is related to Identity V... Now I have the answer. _(:3　∠)_

I’d better play Xiaoxiaole...(￣▽￣“)
