Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

The next morning.

Lin Chu took the elevator and arrived at the door of Si Qingxuan's apartment.

Before, Zhaolin called him and asked him where he took Lin Jingzhi.Lin Chu's answer was that he took Lin Jingzhi to worship Jintai Temple.

The reality is nothing like that.

In fact, he just tricked Lin Jingzhi into his home.He tried to explain to Lin Jingzhi the inappropriateness of the "hypnosis method for health preservation", but Lin Jingzhi couldn't listen to it.

"I think you are just jealous of his high level of hypnosis." Lin Jingzhi snorted, and said with a face full of dissatisfaction, "Of course I know what's going on—it's just a mental suggestion under the superimposition of various factors. .Isn’t that what hypnosis is all about? But the hypnosis there allows me to experience a joy I’ve never had before... The feeling of swimming in the sea is so dreamy, I’ll never get tired of playing it for the rest of my life! Brother , you just can’t get used to the level of people who are higher than you, if you do it, you will definitely not be able to attract so many people, will you?”

Lin Chu wanted to use a screwdriver to pry open Lin Jingzhi's head to see if he had tofu flower in his head.

"You think you are very scientific, don't you?" Lin Chu sneered, "Think about it carefully, is there a girl who is very familiar with you who has experienced the so-called 'hypnotherapy' with you before, but has recently been with you? Did you lose contact?"

Lin Jingzhi was stunned for a moment, and replied hesitantly: "There really are."

"Does she still have cats?" Lin Chu added, "Muppet cats have blue eyes."

Lin Jingzhi muttered to himself: "She hasn't invited me to her house yet... No, how did you know this?"

Lin Chu said with a sullen face, "Something has happened to him now!"

Lin Jingzhi was shocked: "What happened to her?"

Lin Chu: "She turned into a mermaid."

Lin Jingzhi: "..."

Lin Chu: "..."

"No way, brother." Lin Jingzhi sighed, "You can make up nonsense, right? Turning into a mermaid?... Do you think this is a Disney fairy tale?"

Lin Chu let out a "huh": "It's more than that, they even changed the recipe." He patted Lin Jingzhi's head with his hand, "I only eat fools like you!"

At first, Lin Jingzhi didn't believe it.

But he asked all the classmates he knew and got the same answer——

No one can reach her.

It was very abnormal for this kind of thing to happen to an ordinary student.

The more Lin Jingzhi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

A few hours later, he fell into an inexplicable anxiety.

"Let me out...Brother, let me out! I have to go somewhere, I—"

Lin Jingzhi, who was locked in the room, knocked on the door frantically.

Lin Chu turned a deaf ear to it.

After all, Si Qingxuan had already communicated with him in advance.The problem with Lin Jingzhi is not complicated, it can only be said that Baisha is in nirvana, and he is black with it-the most affecting thing for him is the spiritual hypnosis again and again.Leaving that special environment, the aura that polluted him would naturally dissipate slowly.However, this process may be somewhat tortuous.

At first, Lin Jingzhi tried every means to trick Lin Chu into opening the door for him.

"Brother, I'm so sad, I can't breathe...you open the door for me!"

"I've grown a fish tail! Open the door, help!"

"...

Lin Jingzhi was polluted by spiritual energy. Even if no obvious changes occurred in his body, it would still affect his mind and character to a certain extent.

But Lin Chu is not an ordinary person.

After making sure that Lin Jingzhi didn't have the strength to break through the door, he moved Zhang Xiaomazha and sat at the door with peace of mind. He put his mobile phone on the stand beside him and started playing a Buddhist scripture called "The Curse of Purifying the Heart" ".

——He was afraid that he would be impatient with Lin Jingzhi's noise, so he started listening to the Buddhist scriptures in advance to calm down so as not to get angry.

And since around eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Jingzhi at the other end of the door...seemed to have not moved much.

Lin Chu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to turn off the "Qing Xin Mantra" that was playing loudly on the phone.He listened to the door for a while, making sure that there was no sound coming from behind the door, but he didn't open the door to check right away.

He turned on the projector on the wall of the living room, connected the Bluetooth of the mobile phone, turned on the video projection mode, then found a roll of tape from the drawer, glued the mobile phone to the bracket, and stuffed the bracket in through the bottom of the door.

As he stuffed, he paid attention to the image projected on the wall.

After learning about the turbulence, the camera passed through the narrow door gap.The light changed from dark to bright, and Lin Chu was able to see the real situation in the room clearly——

Lin Jingzhi was standing quietly beside the door at this time.He was pale and stared in the direction of the doorknob, with a few sharpened pencils tightly clenched in his right hand.

Since the camera is looking up, Lin Jingzhi's whole body is magnified by the camera.Including his cold, dead eyes, which came out from those big black and white eyes, as if they were going to pass through the camera of the mobile phone at any time and directly hit Lin Chu.

Lin Chu took a deep breath—fortunately, he didn't open the door just now.

But soon, he was quickly ignited by anger:

This little bunny!

Lin Chu snorted coldly, and took the phone back from under the door.

During this period, Lin Jingzhi seemed to have discovered the existence of the mobile phone.But he just stared at the camera in a daze, but did nothing... as if he had entered some kind of sleep mode, and only when Lin Chu himself came into his line of sight would he show his true self unreservedly aggressive.

Of course Lin Chu would not give him a chance to succeed.

… On the contrary, Lin Chu even planned to fight back.

He walked into the study room, dug out the cardboard box where the sundries were stored, and took out two extremely realistic toy snakes from inside.

Two little snakes, one black and one green, with an inverted triangular head shape, two dark and moist eyes embedded in the forehead, the delicate snake scales on the body and the reflection of the snake scales, can slide out an S-shaped route on the ground without any sense of disobedience .

It is almost possible to confuse the real with the fake.

Lin Chu smiled, installed new batteries for the two toy snakes, and put them in from under the door frame——

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

There was a terrified scream from behind the door.The kind that can still be heard clearly through thick walls.

Lin Chu sneered triumphantly——

Lin Jingzhi was most afraid of snakes in his life.

That is an innate fear that comes from the soul.

Because he is afraid of snakes, he dare not even watch the well-known series of movies "Harriet" - because the villain has a giant snake that eats people!

Last time, Lin Jingzhi's desire for the world surpassed his spiritual yearning for Dalagon.This time, he also relied on his instinctive fear to overcome the negative effects of the aura pollution on him.

"Brother! I was wrong! I'm sober, I'm really sober - I lost all the pens in my hands, and I don't know when I cut those things! Please help these two snakes Get caught, I beg you!!"

……

In short, although there were some unpleasant episodes, Lin Jingzhi did wake up a lot, at least there was a light in his eyes.Now, he will no longer do nothing all day long and think about how to escape from Lin Chu's hands. On the contrary, he just nestled in Lin Chu's room and played PS5 all night -- Lin Chu early in the morning I helped him to take leave from the university, and he didn't have to go back to class for a few days, and he was living a happy life.

But this kind of beautiful day only lasted until the early hours of this morning—Si Qingxuan sent a message to Lin Chu, telling him that the Haimei incident had been resolved.

Only then did Lin Chu dare to drive his cousin back to the Lin family.

After solving everything, he immediately rushed to find Si Qingxuan.

Lin Chu has the access card of Si Qingxuan's building, so he doesn't need to report to the security guard when he enters or exits.But he still had to wait for Si Qingxuan to open the door for him before he could enter Si Qingxuan's apartment.

He rang the doorbell and waited outside the door for a long time—just when he thought Si Qingxuan was not there, the door suddenly opened.

Si Qingxuan stood behind the door, with downcast eyes, looking more haggard than Lin Chu who stayed up all night fighting wits with his cousin.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Chu asked in surprise, "You have dark circles under your eyes."

Si Qingxuan raised his head, glanced at him coolly, opened the door, turned around and left: "It's nothing."

Lin Chu walked into Si Qingxuan's apartment, raised his hand and pushed the door closed, and smelled a strong aroma of coffee.The source is the open kitchen of the apartment, obviously Si Qingxuan just finished grinding the coffee there and is brewing it.

Lin Chu looked at the almost empty bag of coffee beans speechlessly—Lin Chu remembered that it had just been delivered to Si Qingxuan's apartment two days ago.

"Still drinking? How much coffee did you drink last night?" Lin Chu twitched his eyes.

"Didn't fall asleep, just kept drinking." Si Qingxuan replied flatly, "Besides, I have something to do all the time, coffee can help me refresh myself anyway."

Lin Chu clicked his tongue and looked around, but he didn't find the puppet cat before.

"Did you give the cat back?"

"The girl has woken up. Of course I have to return the cat. After all, she has other family members who will take care of her." Si Qingxuan paused and said, "It doesn't belong to my cat. let's go."

Lin Chu was silent for a few seconds, and he looked at the office wall in front of Si Qingxuan, where various documents were densely recorded.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chu asked.

"I'm looking into something." Si Qingxuan looked up, looked at the records on the office wall, and said.

"Who are you looking for?" Lin Chu took a closer look, "The tyrant...Galigula? Is that the owner of the sword in your hand?"

That's right.

Si Qingxuan thought for a long time.Now, he desperately needs to devour some "roots".Since it is going to be done, it is best to do it in one step, so that the system can wake up as soon as possible - Galigula's "root" is an excellent choice.If the situation goes well, he can not only wake up the system, but also further enhance his judgment talent.

He needs more power.

What he wants to try to explore is a mystery that scholars have failed to solve for thousands of years: where is the tomb of Caligula.

Si Qingxuan had Caligula's coffin in his hands, and inside it was Caligula's body, but there was only one arm——

Since the "root" of the tyrant Galigula is not in this arm, it is left in a certain part of the remaining corpse.

Galigula's sharp sword was unearthed, and his body was dismembered. It can be seen that his tomb may have been stolen—so, what Si Qingxuan has to do is not only archaeological work, but also inferring Galigula. Where Ligula is most likely to be buried after his death, he still needs to inquire about the news from the collectors to see if there are any more clues in the hands of those collectors who have a strong taste and like to collect corpses.

"You are simply... looking for a needle in a haystack." Lin Chu was a little taken aback, "When will this be investigated?"

"I'm just trying." Si Qingxuan drank his coffee and frowned, "Besides, it's not up to me to find it myself. I just need to do some homework in advance to avoid being deceived."

After all, most of those related to Galigula can be classified as cultural relics.

"Who do you want to help you find?" Lin Chu said.

"Gao Jianwei." Si Qingxuan said, "He is already on his way - he used to be my grandfather's subordinate, and you have met him several times."

"The one who always came to see you?" Lin Chu recalled the appearance of a tall middle-aged man who always smiled when facing Si Qingxuan.

"Yes." Si Qingxuan lowered his head, staring at the steaming coffee in the cup, "It's just right, I also have something to ask him."

Rather than asking, it's more like probing.

He wondered just how much his grandpa knew about the world of weird creatures.In other words, what kind of relationship does their Si family have with the "other world".

In fact, Si Qingxuan didn't expect much.

Grandpa didn't reveal the secret until his death. Either he didn't know about it at all, Si Qingxuan thought too much, or he didn't intend to let Si Qingxuan know about it.

What Si Qingxuan wanted to know was whether his grandfather knew the identity of his grandson.If grandpa knew that he had the talent to devour the roots, and sent him these "special" birthday gifts-then, did these gifts contain grandpa's love for him, or some kind of ardent expectations?

...Does grandpa also hope that he can become strong, so strong that no one can stop him, no one can threaten him?

Si Qingxuan was deep in thought, but did not move for a while.Seeing him lost in thought, Lin Chu waited for a minute, then interrupted helplessly: "Your coffee is getting cold."

Perhaps because of the heat of the coffee, Si Qingxuan's complexion looked better than when Lin Chu first entered the door.He pushed aside the almost full coffee cup in his hand, a slight boredom appeared on his expressionless face: "I'm tired of drinking this taste."

With that said, he glanced at Lin Chu.

Lin Chu: "Do you want me to make you coffee?"

Si Qingxuan said in a low voice: "I want to drink the cold brew—the one with the aroma of wine."

Lin Chu was incompetent and furious: "Are you going to ask me to make you a pot of cold brew coffee in a few minutes?"

"But you can go out and buy it for me. There is a coffee shop in our community. The boss there has a very good craftsmanship." Si Qingxuan said, "You can even steal some craftsmanship from him appropriately."

"Am I your barista? I'm a psychiatrist!" Lin Chu replied with a straight face, "No!"

Si Qingxuan then supported his forehead with one hand, his beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and pretended to start acting: "Oh, I feel so weak...I'm going to die without coffee..."

Lin Chu turned his head and rolled his reserved eyes.

"Okay, I'll help you buy it." He said helplessly, "You can't blame me if you can't buy it."

"Well, good." Si Qingxuan returned to his normal posture in a second, with a slightly cheerful expression on his face.

Lin Chu sighed, stood up and walked to the door.As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Gao Jianwei who was called by Si Qingxuan.

"Mr. Lin." Gao Jianwei greeted Lin Chu politely, with a slight intimacy in his tone, "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time." Lin Chu also smiled and shook hands with the other party, exchanged a few pleasantries, then passed the other party and headed towards the elevator.

Gao Jianwei watched Lin Chu's background leave silently, and then walked into Si Qingxuan's apartment.

"Master." Gao Jianwei walked up to Si Qingxuan with a smile, "Long time no see...you and Lin Chu are still so close. My master is in the spirit of heaven, and I will be gratified to see you have such a good friend."

Gao Jianwei said this almost every time he saw Lin Chu.It seems to be to remind Si Qingxuan that "you have very few friends, just this one, you should cherish it", and it seems to be saying to him tactfully, "You are only such a friend, you should take it easy and don't bully others away ".

Si Qingxuan's ears were almost callused.

Why are grandpa and Gao Jianwei so afraid that he will become a loner with no money and power but no true friends?Does he look so haughty and so bad-tempered?

"Okay, you don't need to say these words every time." Si Qingxuan waved his hand, "I invite you here this time for something else." He led Gao Jianwei to the office wall so that he could see those walls clearly Pinned documents and information.

After seeing what those words were, the smile on Gao Jianwei's face gradually faded, and a solemn expression appeared between his brows.

"You have been with my grandpa for many years." Si Qingxuan said softly, "According to the days, when grandpa prepared these gifts for me, you should still follow him—"

"About Galigula's sword...do you still have some impressions?" Si Qingxuan raised his head and stared at Gao Jianwei. Those ultramarine blue eyes were like crystal clear gems, with a magical power that could reflect people's hearts. "You and Grandpa A birthday present for me together, when I was an adult."

Gao Jianwei opened his mouth.His cheekbones are relatively flat, the contours of his face are thick and soft, and his brows are smiling, which belongs to the appearance that makes people trust easily just by looking at him.But when he didn't smile and hesitated to speak, those eyes with retracted lids showed a bit of sadness.

"You... want to ask about the origin of that collection?" Gao Jianwei replied politely, "It was bought by the master from a private collector. After all, it is a special thing, so it has not been exposed The contract, of course, does not leave any evidence of the acquisition—but you can rest assured that it is not stolen goods and will not cause you any trouble."

"Are you pretending to be stupid?" Si Qingxuan smiled, "I really don't know what it is?"

Gao Jianwei struggled for a few seconds, and asked cautiously, "Could it be that you... have awakened?"

Si Qingxuan: "..."

Si Qingxuan didn't speak.He wanted Gao Jianwei to make up his mind, so that the other party could spit out everything he knew as much as possible.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that what that person said really came true." Gao Jianwei took a breath and said with a broken look in his eyes, "It was he who took the initiative to find the master back then and told him that you will definitely become a great person in the future He is an awakened person, but the fate he faces is very bumpy... He instructed the master to leave something powerful with you. The "Sword of Galigula" was the clue he gave at the beginning, so we can find it The sword... Its previous owner was a down-and-out collector, and he didn't even know that this sword was the real thing that countless people couldn't ask for. But all of this was expected by that person—"

Si Qingxuan: "Who?"

"'Prophet.'" Gao Jianwei said mysteriously, "Now, he is in Yunjing...he is one of the veterans who formed the disaster prevention and control bureau back then."

Si Qingxuan: "..."

He suddenly had a strange premonition.

"Our family won't be in contact with the Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau?"

"Master is the earliest patron of the Prevention and Control Bureau." Gao Jianwei showed an honest smile on his face, "Since you already know the existence of the Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau, then you don't have to keep these things from you - the Prevention and Control Bureau developed later. , we don’t need our Si family to provide financial and material assistance, so our Si family mainly provides some scientific and technological information services to the Prevention and Control Bureau. For example, the system they use to issue tasks and upload task information is ours. Designed by technology companies."

Si Qingxuan: "..."

"Of course, we are only responsible for the daily maintenance of the system to ensure its normal operation, but we never pry into the secrets inside the Prevention and Control Bureau. This is a high-voltage line, and the Si family will not step on it." Gao Jianwei dutifully told Si Qingxuan He explained, "However, there is actually an anonymous forum under our name, called Si Linge, which is mainly for all awakened people. It is a place for them to communicate freely and discuss cooperation in private..."

"You still care about private transactions between awakened people?" Si Qingxuan said with some surprise.

"To be honest, there are many awakened people in our company." Gao Jianwei blinked, "The administrators and auditors of the forum are all our own people. It is easy to seal up the transaction content that does not comply with the rules; A well-behaved person should also consider whether he can bear the consequences of causing trouble for our company. As for the fairness of the transaction, there is no need to worry—"

"Actually, young master, I'm also an awakened person. My talent is the 'Scale of Law'...It's not very useful at ordinary times, but it's really easy to deal with transaction conflicts. We will arbitrate all unfair transactions as There is an intermediary fee charged.”

… No wonder this guy later moved from bodyguard to management.

Si Qingxuan took a breath and felt that the door to a new world had opened.

"You also eat the official food, and you also collect the wool of the free awakeners." Si Qingxuan sighed and said, "It's really amazing."

"I think I have to remind you, young master, your surname is also Si." Gao Jianwei said frankly, "This is your family's company, not mine—I'm just a laborer working hard to support my family."

Si Qingxuan: "..."

The two looked at each other silently for a long time.

"Then if, I want to get more information about Galigula, or information about strange creatures—" Si Qingxuan said suddenly, "Should this also belong to the transaction content of the forum?"

"Yes. Moreover, even you need to pay a certain intermediary fee to the system." Gao Jianwei smiled and bowed slightly to Si Qingxuan, "But there is really no need for that—"

"You are the master of the entire Si family. You can mobilize all the power of the Si family." Gao Jianwei presented Si Qingxuan with a small piece of Linzhi gold, and said, "It's just to investigate information, and there is no need to ask other people for help."
