Chapter 532: Finding Help
"Anyway...... By the way, the person entrusted by Mu Qiuli is me, you are not allowed to meddle in this matter!" Zhou Xun did not apologize at all for wronging Zhang Liying's behavior, but threw down a provocative word before walking away.
"Don't worry, no matter what 'business' it is, I will never rob it from you!" Zhang Liying muttered behind her with great certainty.
But how did Mu Qiuli know that Zhou Xun was not an ordinary person? What did she have to entrust Zhou Xun? Since she knew Zhou Xun's secret, shouldn't she also know her own secret? All kinds of questions came to mind, Zhang Liying's curiosity was about to move again unconsciously, and when she looked up, she saw Mu Qiuli coming, so she hurriedly greeted her.
Mu Qiuli had something in her heart, and she didn't see Zhang Liying coming at all, until she was patted on the shoulder, and then she came back to her senses: "Ah...... Zhang Liying, you scared me!"
"What's the matter, the soul is not kept?" Zhang Liying asked casually.
"No, I'm thinking about something else...... Ah, did you see Zhou Xun? I'm looking for her. ”
She went downstairs...... Hey, don't go, it's going to be class right away, she'll definitely come up soon. Seeing that Mu Qiuli was going downstairs to find it, Zhang Liying hurriedly reminded her.
"Yes, it's almost class, so I'll go back first. Mu Qiuli hurriedly left after speaking, obviously hiding her emotions.
The more Zhang Liying looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, but she still didn't care about it, anyway, Zhou Xun was rushing to get ahead...... Zhang Liying thought of the possible annoyance caused by curiosity, weighed it again and again, and decided to stand by and watch, so she also followed Mu Qiuli to the classroom.
"Do you know a strange profession called 'Paranormal Investigator?'" Zhang Liying asked as she peeled an apple after dinner.
"It's a mage who hunts ghosts and demons, and modern people just like to take a trendy name. Ji Ao didn't raise his head, his eyes were fixed on the TV screen.
A few years ago, there was a suggestion that the oni should be renamed "Hell Inspector" and the judge should be renamed "Hell Inspector," but fortunately, it was later rejected by a meeting of the Hades.
It seems that his analytical skills are not bad, and he is not wrong at all. Zhang Liying threw the peeled apple in her hand to the "hell guard" who had been waiting for a long time, and picked up another one and continued to peel it: "That Zhou Xun seems to be engaged in this work, and today a classmate in our class is entrusting her with an errand." ”
"You are really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in your class......" Ji Ao sighed.
"What do you mean?"
"In this society, that kind of profession can no longer be done in a righteous and bright way, and if you want to find them, you have to work hard. ”
If you rent a storefront in the downtown area, hang up the signboard of "Supernatural Event Office" in a bright and bright manner, and then write "Specialty: Ghost Hunting, Demon Extermination, Cleaning the House, Dream ......" and so on, to ensure that before the business comes to the door, the people from the Ministry of Economy will come to the door.
Leaving aside whether or not they have the ability to catch ghosts for the time being, if they can send these people from the Ministry of Economic Affairs away, they will almost achieve a positive result. However, Zhang Liying still asked: "Aren't there many people who play fortune-telling signs?"
"Do you dare to ask them to help you deal with supernatural events?" asked Ji Ao rhetorically.
Looking for those guys who look like charlatans at first glance, it's safer to go out on your own.
"Therefore, being able to find them correctly is also a skill, at least there must be a certain source of information. ”
Unexpectedly, Mu Qiuli usually looks quite ordinary, but she also has an unknown background. Zhang Liying couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't expect that she herself was not an ordinary-looking girl in the class, and she was not the same as raising ghosts at home.
I don't know what happened to Mu Qiuli, her exam score has regressed so much this time, it must have something to do with it, right? I hope Zhou Xun can help her solve the matter quickly, so that Mu Qiuli can return to her normal life.
Zhang Liying suddenly thought of something, so she asked Ji Ao: "By the way, since that supernatural event investigator is a profession, he has to be charged, right?"
"Of course, this kind of profession has never been a day job since ancient times. Ji Ao said as a matter of course.
Catching ghosts and killing demons is a more dangerous profession than anti-narcotics and police officers, and who wants to do it for nothing. Even if you have a strong sense of justice, you have to eat.
"How much does it cost?"
"Why are you asking this? Do you also want to ......" Ji Ao thought to herself, this girl wouldn't want to spend money to hire someone to solve something in the future, right?" ”
"Need a lot of money?"
"In short, a lot!" Ji Ao himself didn't know much about the fees in this industry, but in order to dispel Zhang Liying's thoughts, he tried his best to make his expression more exaggerated.
If the fee is too high, how can Mu Qiuli afford it? Although Mu Qiuli usually doesn't want to mention the situation at home, in the class where the grapevine is used as an after-school pastime, who can hide the situation from others, and Zhang Liying also knows a little about Mu Qiuli's situation.
Mu Qiuli's family situation is quite complicated, as if her parents are remarried, both of them brought a child, and then they have Mu Qiuli, their common child.
Because both of her parents are angry that the other party treats their biological child well, there is always smoke in the family. felt that his child had suffered a loss, so he redoubled his kindness to his child, and unconsciously snubbed Mu Qiuli, their common child......
Mu Qiuli lived with her grandfather and grandmother when she was a child, and now she has returned to her parents, but her parents are unemployed, and in the case of difficult family circumstances, it is said that even the tuition fees are made up by Mu Qiuli herself.
If Zhou Xun is hired to collect a lot of money, how can Mu Qiuli get it? Unless Zhou Xun will look at the classmates a little less, but looking at her kind of character, it seems unlikely......
"By the way, Ji Ao, I suddenly remembered something. ”
"What?"
"I've 'helped you' catch ghosts a few times, right? Should you pay me too?"
"Ahem......" Ji Ao rolled his eyes when he choked on a large mouthful of apple he had just bitten.
Mu Qiuli always follows Zhou Xun, as long as she gets out of class, she will walk to Zhou Xun and look at her, if Zhou Xun goes out, she will follow, but Zhou Xun always ignores her. Looking at this, Zhou Xun should not have agreed to her commission, is it because of the money?
Zhang Liying has been worried about Mu Qiuli, and she really hopes that Zhou Xun can take over the job for the sake of her classmates.
Mu Qiuli has been a lot haggard in the past few days, and because she is always unable to concentrate in class, she has been called by the teacher to talk several times, and today the teacher specially arranged for Zhang Liying, a little teacher, to talk to her.
Zhang Liying felt a little embarrassed, since the first year of high school, Mu Qiuli has always been the little teacher, it was because of the incident in Tao Zhe that Mu Qiuli's relationship with the intern teacher Hawick Lau was exposed, and the teacher asked Zhang Liying to "temporarily act" the little teacher, and this temporary is now temporary.
The teacher didn't mention it anymore, Mu Qiuli didn't mention it anymore, Zhang Liying didn't know if she should take the initiative to talk to the teacher about it, but she guessed that the teacher deliberately wanted to forget about it, and if she took the initiative to mention it, she would only be criticized that she was afraid of hard work, and she only knew that she worked hard, and she didn't know how to contribute to the class, and then she was kicked out.
But now I have to talk to Mu Qiuli as a little teacher, which is too much.
After Zhang Liying came out of the teacher's office, she kept complaining about the teacher's excessive requirements, but it was impossible for a good student like her to openly disobey the teacher's instructions, so she made up her mind to talk to Mu Qiuli, no actual content was needed, just let the secret agents of the teachers in the class see it.
When Zhang Liying walked to the door of the classroom, she happened to see Mu Qiuli also coming from the other end of the corridor, so she stepped forward to stop her. Mu Qiuli was contrary to her usual attitude towards others, and seemed absent-minded and impatient.
"I don't have anything to do, I just think you've been a little ...... lately Get up on the wrong side of the bed. Zhang Liying carefully worded.
Mu Qiuli smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, it's just that I've encountered something annoying recently." ”
It shouldn't be as simple as being in a bad mood, at least you don't have to go to a mage to deal with it if you're in a bad mood. Zhang Liying thought so in her heart, but she couldn't reveal it, Mu Qiuli obviously didn't want others to know about it.
"So you...... Be mindful of your body. Mu Qiuli is a good classmate, and Zhang Liying always feels guilty in her heart these days because she can't help her.
Mu Qiuli didn't answer, seeing that she seemed to be in a daze, but suddenly said: "Zhang Liying, you are very good with Zhou Xun, aren't you?"
I'm very good with Zhou Xun? Zhang Liying was completely defeated by this idea.
Although Zhang Liying is the person who has talked to Zhou Xun the most in the class, others don't know the content of their conversation, so it is not surprising that they will have this opinion.
Seeing that Zhang Liying did not deny it, Mu Qiuli said again: "I want to ask her to help me do something, but she refuses to agree." Can you help me convince her? You're best with her, and she'll listen to what you say, won't you?"
Zhang Liying didn't know how to answer Mu Qiuli, after all, the relationship between her and Zhou Xun was really not something that could be explained clearly in a few words.
If she really went to intercede with Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun might reply to her: "You don't care about yourself." ”
yes, myself...... No, if it's Ji Ao, maybe I can help her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liying immediately asked Mu Qiuli: "If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened?"
If the matter is not too tricky and scary, Zhang Liying can go to Ji Ao to deal with it, and if it is too difficult, she can go to Xie Xinlei to persuade her cousin. That's right, that's it.
Mu Qiuli looked at no one around, so she smiled bitterly at Zhang Liying: "Actually, actually...... It's Hawick's business......"
By the way, he is no longer a teacher, so Mu Qiuli can call him by his name so affectionately.
Teacher Liu...... Did something happen to him?"
"I feel like he's haunted by a ghost...... Mu Qiuli said worriedly.
Zhang Liying was stunned, haunted by ghosts, what is the situation, if the evil ghost is possessed, not to mention the people around her, even if it is herself, it is difficult to detect it.
If a person makes others think that he is haunted by a demon, others will think that he is either insane and makes people look like he is evil, or he is pretending to be crazy and stupid, and there must be some purpose for him to do so.
After all, there are ghosts in the world, and the more unlucky people have become their targets.
"This kind of thing...... How can you be sure?" asked Mu Qiuli cautiously.
Mu Qiuli covered her face, as if she didn't want to remember anything: "You don't know, how much his appearance has changed...... He's like a different person now than before, and you haven't seen him laugh......
Before he came to our school for an internship, he and I had known each other for three years, and no one knew him better than me. The way he looks now, something must be wrong...... Zhou Xun can help us, can you go and talk to Zhou Xun?"
