Aoba Office

"'Them'?" Guo Yujie keenly caught the key words in my words.

"Yeah. And me and my parents. They might know something too." I answered honestly.

I should have considered this a long time ago. Just my forgotten childhood memories and the experience related to Xiaobai’s death are questionable. There was no way my parents knew anything. It's impossible that they don't know, but Ye Qing knows me well.

Even if Ye Qing did something, since I was aware of it, my parents should have realized something.

All along, they have been concerned about my abnormal behavior over the past year but have not cared too much about it. Their attitude also affected my sister.

I should have discovered this a long time ago, but I have always ignored this anomaly.

It's like they ignore my anomalies.

We all tacitly remained silent.

But maybe my original idea was wrong. It’s not that they really know nothing, and they’re not worried that I’m involved in bad things like drugs or gambling, but they should know things related to “ghosts” or “people with abilities.”

They know it, and so do the old leaders.

Just like when I was a child, I lied to my parents, maybe just to eat a piece of candy, or just to watch TV for a while, and then I lied to them and acted like a baby to them. After getting the reward, I would feel complacent and feel that I had deceived them. In fact, they all know it.

I made a promise to Guo Yujie, but when I looked at my parents, I felt hard to say it.

I felt a little bit of fear and intolerance.

The already cold heart seemed to soften again, becoming timid and hesitant.

Guo Yujie and I didn't expect to go together. Instead, she asked me: "Did you realize something was wrong? The last time... that's when you came to my house to find me, the spirit that represented the female victim... At that time, my dad also Asked me. I didn't tell him..." She said guiltily, "I was afraid that he would be worried and that I wouldn't be able to explain clearly. But I told him later that it wasn't all. He said he encountered a ghost. Now he has begun to fast and worship Buddha. "

Guo Yujie has never mentioned this kind of thing to us before.

I looked at the thin man.

Probably not just Guo Yujie, our parents and family members all felt something was abnormal, but they just didn’t know how to communicate with us. It's like I don't know how to talk to my parents now.

However, there are still some differences.

"Maybe... the situation on my side is more complicated." I sighed.

Guo Yujie was silent.

"Okay, I'm hanging up the phone. You and Chen Xiaoqiu be careful..."

"Lin Qi." Guo Yujie stopped me.

"Huh? What else?"

"You said it's more complicated...is that right..." Guo Yujie asked with difficulty, "Do you also suspect that your parents have known about abilities for a long time?"

I was taken aback and didn't know how to answer.

Having said the words, Guo Yujie became calm, and then spoke smoothly and quickly said: "I suspect so. When I told my parents, something was not right with them. They... The Buddha statue he worshiped was from It was brought back from the temple, but I saw that the Buddha statue was originally sent to the temple. When I was about ten years old, they sent the Buddha statue to the temple. I asked them, and they didn't know. Said. I asked my aunt later. My aunt told me that when I was a child, it was normal for children to see dirty things. My parents took it very seriously. My aunt said that just once, she said that I saw a ghost and that there was a little brother at home. My parents were very worried and took me to the hospital and the temple. I thought it was nothing, but then they invited me again. The Buddha statue was sent away after two years. I... originally forgot about it. After they invited the Buddha statue back, I remembered that incense was always burned in my home when I was in elementary school. I really have no impression of it.”

I was tense and held my breath. I felt like I had come across some truth again.

"Don't you remember seeing a ghost before?"

"Before I met Qingye, I don't remember it at all. But..." Guo Yujie paused, "I can't distinguish between ghosts and living people now."

"If it was when you were a child-" I immediately thought of a possibility.

"For my parents, that's terrible," Guo Yujie said softly.

I can imagine that scenario.

His young daughter spoke into the air, telling him things about people who didn't exist. This is extremely scary for any parent.

Guo Yujie's parents may have chosen "ignore" as the way to handle this matter. They pretended that everything was normal with their daughter, and they did not tell Guo Yujie that the people she met were ghosts.

It is more likely that before this year, before joining the demolition office, Guo Yujie's ability was always activated and she kept encountering ghosts.

However, Guo Yujie met those kind ghosts who asked her for help. She was not attacked and just pretended that she was helping a few strangers.

Her ability was stimulated and strengthened after meeting Qingye. Those ghosts no longer encountered her by chance on the road, but came directly to her door. At this time, she also knew the existence of ghosts. That's when things changed.

What about my parents?

Did they also see me using my powers when I was a child?

But after that, my ability didn't activate, so they kept it in their hearts until this year, when they noticed the changes in me...

Guo Yujie and I both remained silent.

After a while, I told her in a hoarse voice that I understood and hung up the phone.

The thin man looked at me and asked with concern: "What did Xiao Guo say?"

"Maybe... they already knew." I smiled bitterly and relayed Guo Yujie's words to the thin man.

The thin man said nothing.

When I worry about my family, they worry about me.

"My family probably really doesn't know. The abilities of me, A Guang, and Chen Xiaoqiu shouldn't be easily discovered, right?" said the thin man.

indeed so.

Maybe only Guo Yujie and I have our abilities discovered.

I can't help but think of Qingye.

Wu Ling, Liu Miao and Gu Mo could be eliminated. Nangong Yao's ability was indeed discovered by his family, and Ye Qing...

Probably, Ye Qing's family members were also aware of it.

After Ye Qing was born and grew up, the originally good family and several generations of the family frequently encountered bad luck and died one by one. It would be strange if they had no idea at all.

Coupled with Tang Yu's incident, Ye Qing is probably their family's main suspect.

Even if a family has a close relationship, it is difficult to maintain harmony under such circumstances. What's more, the relatives of Ye Qing who were killed were not only immediate relatives such as parents and grandparents, but also relatives such as aunts and uncles.

The accusations and criticisms that Nangong Yao had experienced, Ye Qing had probably experienced as well.

The only thing I'm lucky about may be that my family has a simple population...

My thoughts stopped there.

My heart trembled, and I turned my head sharply to look at my parents who were still sitting in the store.

My mother happened to look over at this time and made eye contact with me.

She made a questioning look and waved to me.

My legs suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, and the muscles on my face were extremely stiff, making me completely unable to respond to her.

A terrifying possibility occurred to me.

Those relatives in my family... my grandparents' generation have long since passed away. But those uncles and uncles who lost contact...

Is it really just like what the parents said, that they lost contact because of the entanglement caused by the death of their grandparents?

Goodnight everybody.
