Chapter 54 The People Behind the Scenes
Wang Xiaoxiao was sent to the hospital closest to the school. After examination, the doctor said he was overly frightened and slightly malnourished.
Shao Yan's eyebrows furrowed, "In this age, how can children still be malnourished?"
You Mingchi called Wang Xiaoxiao's guardian and asked him to come to the hospital to pick up the child. Unexpectedly, the other person refused to come, saying that the child at home was still young and had no time to pick him up. He asked Wang Xiaoxiao to wake up and go home.
He also said that it was okay if she didn’t come back and let her go directly to school tomorrow.
You Mingchi hung up the phone and cursed angrily: "How can this man be a father? The younger son is a human being, but the eldest daughter is not a human being? He cares about children but not about raising children?"
There were footsteps in the corridor of the ward. It turned out to be Shao Jing coming over. She heard that her good friend had entered the hospital, and she couldn't sit still and insisted on staying with her in bed.
The doctor put an IV on Wang Xiaoxiao, but he didn't know when she would wake up.
Shao Jing stayed with her, and Shang Qing and the other two could only walk out of the ward.
You Mingchi scratched his head irritably, "What should we do now? There have been five cases in a row within a week, and the people behind the scenes are too arrogant!"
Shao Yan was also filled with indignation, "You simply don't take us seriously! Shang Qing, what do you think we should do next?"
Shang Qing thought for a while, "Where are the bodies of the four children who committed suicide?"
You Mingchi: "It's in the morgue of this hospital. This hospital is the closest to the school. The body was sent here directly after it was found."
Shang Qing: "Let's go take a look."
The three of them came all the way to the morgue.
As a precaution, two police officers were guarding the door of the morgue. In addition, there was a woman sitting on the ground at the door, her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, as if she was asleep.
Seeing the visitor, the two police officers stood up and saluted, "Mr. You."
The woman was awakened by the sound, suddenly woke up, reacted, rolled and crawled in front of You Mingchi, and grabbed his trousers, "Officer, have you found Taotao's murderer?"
You Mingchi was dragged by her and couldn't move. Two police officers rushed over to help him and explained in a low voice: "She is the mother of one of the boys. I heard that her husband passed away early, and she raised her son to such a big size by herself. After learning about her son's After hearing the news of his death, she fainted several times and has been waiting here ever since, saying she would not go back until the murderer of her son was caught."
The woman was kneeling on the ground. No one could pull her up. She had no dignity at all, but her expression contained great sorrow. She cried until her tears dried up. "Officer, there is absolutely no way my son can commit suicide!"
"Our life was hard, but he had a strong character... Just the day before he died, he was still joking with me, saying that high school tuition would be more expensive and he wanted to learn how to pick up trash. ...With a character like his, how could he commit suicide? How could he leave me and commit suicide?"
The woman's dry and red eyes shed tears again, and her voice was hoarse and she couldn't bear to hear it.
You Mingchi sighed, "Don't worry, we are still investigating the case and will definitely give justice to the deceased as soon as possible."
Shao Yan couldn't help but stepped forward and advised, "You have to take good care of yourself, otherwise, your child will feel bad when he sees it..."
Shang Qing bypassed the chaotic crowd, threw the cries behind his head, and went directly into the morgue.
The cold air mixed with the smell of disinfectant hit his face, and he immediately saw four corpses covered with white cloths in the middle of the morgue.
Then, he looked around again... Sure enough, the souls of the four people were not there.
He had been thinking before that there must be a reason for the people behind the scenes to kill people, but now it seemed that the soul was the reason.
There was a cool breeze approaching his ears, and Fu Lianzhi chuckled, "Did these people go to the same training class before they did bad things? Both of them are for human souls. Can't they have some other pursuits?"
Shang Qing said expressionlessly: "What are you pursuing, growing a snake's tail?"
He turned away the cooler in disgust, then took out four soul-calling charms and pasted them on the four corpses.
The souls of these four students must have been captured by the person behind the scenes, but now that he has the corpse as a medium, it is not impossible to capture them again.
The rest depends on the level of cultivation of both parties.
Shang Qing pinched his fingers and scolded: "The soul is back!"
Then he pointed at the soul-summoning talisman, and the talisman paper lit up with a faint white light. Then there was no fire, and green smoke curled up, floating higher and higher in a straight line, like a blue light pillar reaching into the sky.
However, after a few minutes, the top cigarette butt bent slightly and started to collapse... The smoke line that attracted the soul was in chaos, and the soul was determined not to find its way back!
Shang Qing curled his lips and said, "I'm waiting for you!"
He knew that someone would compete with him for his soul, so how could he not prepare in advance. I saw his finger gestures changing, and the half-burned soul-summoning talisman suddenly bloomed, and another rune floated in the sky.
Looking carefully, the rune glowed with thin purple lightning, and it turned out to be a purple thunder talisman.
Shang Qing hooked the corner of the rune and pointed upward, "Chop it!"
Rumble-only the mystic magician can hear the thunder, but only hearing the thunder but not seeing the light means that the person behind the scenes is not here.
But the green smoke took advantage of the sound of thunder and continued to rise several meters higher. The cigarette butt suddenly cracked, and a figure glowing with white light appeared.
Shang Qing pulled the ghost down and saw a dark, thin and strong boy. Because he was in the new-soul trance, the boy stood blankly in front of his body.
At this time, the door of the morgue was suddenly opened, and a woman's heartbroken cry came from outside.
The boy's soul stirred, and a trace of bright red appeared in his eyes.
Shang Qing immediately turned around and whispered: "Close the door!"
Shao Yan and You Mingchi quickly got in and closed the door. Shao Yan said, "I heard thunder and came in to see what was going on?"
Shang Qing ignored them, but pushed the boy's soul aside and continued to recruit the souls of the other three students.
It was probably because the person behind the scenes was injured in the battle just now, and the subsequent soul summoning went very smoothly. After a while, four new souls stood in front of the three people.
The four souls, three men and one woman, are all in a state of confusion. Their silly and silly looks are a bit funny, as if they couldn't understand the math class.
However, just thinking about these four children turning into ghosts at such a young age inevitably makes people feel angry and sad.
Shang Qing continued to take out the compass, "They were detained. I'll try to calculate the other party's position... huh?"
He put down the compass, calculated it again, then picked up the compass and moved the pointer... "Found it! It's near here, let's go!"
You Mingchi and Shao Yan quickly ran out after him, and the three of them got into the car.
Under Shang Qing's command, the car drove all the way into a crowded road, and a strange smell wafted from the open window.
You Mingchi held it in for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "Why is it so smelly? Isn't it about building a civilized city? Are there still people dumping garbage on the roadside?"
Shang Qing held his breath expressionlessly, not wanting to speak.
Shao Yan said: "This is not the smell of garbage. This area is behind the live poultry slaughtering area of the vegetable market. Don't you know?"
You Mingchi: "Live poultry slaughtering? Do you mean this is a slaughterhouse?"
Shao Yan: "Absolutely. In addition to live poultry, there are also some rabbits, sheep and the like that can be killed here. There are also rare robed deer, which are all farmed." He was also surprised when he said that, "Have you never Don’t you want to buy food at the vegetable market?”
After he asked, the car was quiet.
How can I put it, two of the three living people here don’t even know what an onion looks like.
Shao Yan introduced the two of them enthusiastically, "This whole area is a live poultry slaughtering area, over there is the aquatic products area, and beyond that is the vegetable area. Ah, there is a small restaurant in the back, selling some cooked food and the like... …”
As the car continued to drive in, the needle on the compass moved slower and slower.
Shao Yan paused, "This area is a fresh food restaurant... However, before the renovation, they were usually called game restaurants."
It was already late at night, and there were only faint lights coming from a few restaurants. There were rustling sounds from the trash cans on the roadside, and small animals flew past from time to time, and pairs of eyes reflected a faint green light.
Occasionally, if there is something that reflects red light... then it is no longer a living thing.
There was a stench and an unusual smell of blood coming from the cracked car window.
Shang Qing closed the compass and said slowly: "We're here."
The car stopped, and the three of them looked out the window at the same time. The brightly colored light sign read "Tao Le Xian Cuisine Restaurant."
The three of them got out of the car. You Mingchi locked the door, took out the dagger and held it in his hand, grinning, "This master's style is not very high!"
Shao Yan stood at the end carrying a backpack half as tall as a man. Hearing this, he nodded, "The brand is indeed a bit ugly."
Shang Qing stood in the middle, turning his head, listening to something... Suddenly, he pulled You Mingchi away, "Be careful!"
Almost at the same time, in the Xianwei restaurant, a huge creature broke through the door and window and jumped out, flattening the front of the car with a slap!
This monster is about three meters tall, covered in pitch black, and its body is still moving irregularly, as if it is composed of black energy that has become ethereal. Its head looks a bit like a dog, but its ears are pointed like a cat, and there is a cow's tail on its back.
As it appeared, the stench and bloody smell became stronger.
Shang Qing and You Mingchi turned over and hid on the other side of the car. Shao Yan trotted up to them and whispered, "What is this? Doesn't it look like anything else?"
Shang Qing took out the talisman and said: "This thing is definitely not naturally formed. It was made by someone who intercepted the resentment of the little animals here after they died."
You Mingchi said: "It's coming! I'll lure it away, and you can find a way to kill it."
As he said that, he put one hand on the ground and launched himself in front of the big monster. He waved his right hand forward and made a small gash on the monster with his dagger.
Compared to the size of the monster, this wound was like a needle pricking a person's body... What's even more annoying is that the surrounding black mist filled it up and the wound disappeared in an instant.
You Mingchi twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and ran away.
If you can't handle it, let's wait for Shang Qing to carry everyone!
Shao Yan was a little panicked over there, "You Mingchi can't do it! What formation should I set up? Is the filth removal formation okay? Or the forbidden spirit formation?"
Shang Qing's hands were full of talismans, and he held a golden awl in his mouth. He spoke incoherently: "I'll consume its resentment first, and you can do a Seven Spirit Killer..."
Shao Yan was still waiting for him to continue, "What are the seven spirits? What formation?"
Shang Qing was stunned for a moment, his mouth suddenly relaxed, and the golden cone fell, but it only fell halfway, as if it was caught by something, it floated in the air for a moment, and then rushed out like an arrow from a string!
The small golden cone looked like a mosquito compared to the monster's huge body... However, the golden cone did not pause, pierced directly into the monster's body, and flew out from the other side!
Immediately afterwards, the golden cone continued to fly, piercing the monster's body again and again. The speed was so fast that it looked like golden threads wrapping the monster to the naked eye.
Although the monster can heal itself, under such an intensive attack, its self-healing speed cannot keep up with the speed of injury. It seemed to be irritated, it looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, slapped its four paws on the ground, and the ground shook!
It suddenly turned its head and looked in the direction of Shang Qing and Shao Yan. Although it can't see who is hurting it, it must be related to these humans!
Humanity! Humanity!
It still remembers the severe pain of being killed by the humans here, and the resentment of being eaten by humans! It wants to eat all humans and avenge itself and its companions!
That hill-like body jumped up with a lightness that didn't suit his body shape, and headed straight towards Shang Qing——
With lightning speed, a black whip came from the sky and broke the mountain of flesh into two pieces!
It was when Shao Yan rolled up the end of the whip that he suddenly realized that it might not be a whip, but the tail of something.
He quietly glanced at Shang Qing and found that the man was not looking at the battlefield, but was seizing the time to draw symbols. And I have already drawn a bunch of them, and every one of them is a talisman that absorbs resentment and protects peace.
Over there, the long tail flicked a few more times, directly smashing the monster into pieces. The fragments were scattered in the air, and after a while they returned to their original appearance of resentment and yin energy.
The tail disappeared just as suddenly as it came. But the moment he disappeared, Shao Yan seemed to hear a cold snort, and another sentence: "Dare to hurt him..."
But it's too vague, so I don't know if it's his imagination.
Over there, You Mingchi finally ran back. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely, but he didn't forget to give a thumbs up, "Cow! Help me say thank you to that person!"
Shao Yan also nodded quickly, "Thank you! That one is getting more and more powerful, and his tail is getting longer and longer..."
He stopped talking under Shang Qing's expressionless gaze.
Tsk, I forgot that Shang Qing was afraid of snakes.
Shang Qing distributed the talismans he had just drawn to them, "Post them all around here. There is too much resentment here. Someone may pass by at night and something might happen."
The three of them pasted the talismans and walked into the store through the door opened by the monster.
The first floor was a very ordinary fly restaurant, and the three of them walked up the stairs to the second floor.
It was very empty above, except for an abandoned magic circle with traces of being struck by lightning.
Shang Qing observed it carefully and frowned, "It's not good."
You Mingchi hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Shang Qing said: "This is just a place where they store their souls. The best result now is that they don't know we have been here, and the worst result is that they have run away."
"Uh..." You Mingchi comforted: "Looking on the bright side, maybe they don't take us seriously at all and don't even bother to run?"
Shang Qing looked at him speechlessly.
At this time, Shao Yan's cell phone rang, and he quickly picked it up, "Sister, what's wrong?"
After a while, he hung up the phone and said happily: "Wang Xiaoxiao is awake!"
Half an hour later, the three of them rushed to Wang Xiaoxiao's ward.
The little girl was extremely thin and wearing a hospital gown that was a bit too big for her. She was leaning silently on the hospital bed in a daze.
For the first time in their lives, they saw on the face of a thirteen-year-old girl what it meant to be "without love". This child is like a withered young grass. At his most brilliant age, he has no suppressed vitality.
You Mingchi was also somewhat innocent. They originally wanted to ask her a few questions, but in this situation, who could ask her?
At this time, Shao Jing cleared her throat and walked out of the ward, making a "Follow me" gesture to them.
The three grown men looked around and followed her out.
Shao Jing took out a mobile phone, "I asked Xiaoxiao just now, and she said that the reason why she jumped off the building was because of the task this person gave her."
Shang Qing took the phone and saw a chat interface. A person with a black flame avatar sent a message: "Task 18: Follow the instructions and jump off the building, and you can be with her forever."
You Mingchi frowned, "Who is this 'her'?"
Shao Jing: "It's Xiaoxiao's mother."
Shang Qing remained silent and continued to scroll through the chat history.
Task 15: Tear the healed wound until blood flows out. Blood can summon her to you.
Task 14: Put the rope over your head and tighten it as shown in the picture below. On the verge of death, you will see her voice and appearance.
……
Task 10: Make four wounds on the inside of your right arm. The blood will summon her to you.
Task 9: Make four wounds on the inside of your left arm. The blood will summon her to you.
……
Task 3: Carve her name on the skin with a knife to let her feel your thoughts.
Task 2: Copy her name a hundred times and call her.
Task 1: Recall the person you most want to see in your mind, and I will help you see her again~
Shang Qing said coldly: "This person has been guiding her." He turned to look at You Mingchi, "Have the other four received such news?"
You Mingchi affirmed: "Absolutely not. Investigators will not miss such an obvious clue."
Shang Qing thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and entered the ward.
Wang Xiaoxiao was still in a daze, as if she didn't care about everything around her.
Shang Qing walked up to her and made a soul-gathering finger.
Wisps of light condensed from her body and fell into Shang Qing's palm. It was these lights that protected Wang Xiaoxiao. The mastermind behind the scenes couldn't directly trick her into jumping off the building, so he chose to slowly guide her and consume the power of this light.
But now, this light is extremely weak and cannot protect her.
The dim light turned into a very small figure. This was a woman in her forties, with pale complexion and very thin face. She sat on her knees, looking very weak, raised her head, and mouthed to Shang Qing, "Thank you."
Then, she looked back at Wang Xiaoxiao with an expression of love, guilt, distress and reluctance...
Shang Qing held her next to Wang Xiaoxiao. The woman stretched out her translucent hand and touched her daughter's hair for the last time.
Then, it vanished into ashes.
Only one tear fell down and landed on Wang Xiaoxiao's hair.
Almost at the same time, she suddenly raised her head and called out in a low voice, "...Mom?"
Then, her expression became anxious, as if she felt something, "Mom? Are you there? Where are you? Are you... coming to see me?"
The little girl who was always quiet and introverted grabbed Shang Qing's sleeve and begged: "Did mom come here just now? She came to see me, right? Did she finally come to see me? She didn't leave me alone... Is it right?"
Shang Qing sighed silently, "She didn't abandon you. She was always by your side and watching you."
"Is that so..." Wang Xiaoxiao was stunned and suddenly fell on the bed and cried loudly.
Shang Qing walked out of the room with a cry, and said amid the strange expressions of You Mingchi and Shao Yan: "Bring me the information of the person who has had contact with Wang Xiaoxiao. I suspect that person is beside her and paying attention to her every day. "
