Chapter 380: Strange Man
If Li Jing is too afraid of the ghost master, it will cause psychological pressure on herself, if she doesn't dare to live in the duty room, she will lose this job, Zhang Liying thought of this, and carefully tried to convince her.
But without waiting for her to speak, Li Jing stood up nervously and paced around the room muttering, "Who the hell is that ghost master......
Who is the ghost master, this is also a question that Zhang Liying is very concerned about, but it is really difficult to find this answer.
According to Black Bean, the effective coverage of the ritual of borrowing life is about a circle with a radius of about two miles, that is, with the caster as the center of the circle, people within this range may become his victims.
In ancient times, even if people lived densely, they were divided according to the form of one family, and the population in this range would not be too much, and it would really depend on some luck to find a suitable victim, but now, in such a metropolis, a high-rise building can accommodate thousands of people, and in such a large area, there must be many people, Zhang Liying can't imagine that the success rate of that ceremony can definitely reach one hundred percent.
If you want to find the ghost master, you can only take the place where Yutong was killed and look for it within a radius of two miles, so that it is possible to find the location of the ghost master.
The north gate of the school faces a busy commercial area full of shopping malls, a large residential area with several units of dormitories and offices to the east, and another street to the south of the school, the city's most important financial district, lined with banks and several large hotels.
Just to the west of the school is on another street, with many office buildings and shopping malls, and the staff quarters of the bank are further west to the north of the school, and the teachers' quarters are down the other road. Even if their new campus were to move to the suburbs, it would still be located in such a crowded place.
Finding a ghost master in such a range is even more difficult for Zhang Liying than climbing to the sky.
Li Jing was completely in a panic, Zhang Liying comforted her but to no avail, seeing that Li Jing had completely forgotten her existence, Zhang Liying had to sigh and leave.
After all, Li Jing is an adult, and after the panic, she should understand that the rumors are not credible and cheer up, right?
Zhang Liying pushed her bicycle to the school gate with a heavy heart. Because of Yutong's death and the rumors, the place used to be crowded as soon as school is over, but now it has become deserted, and even the small vendors that run exclusively for students have dispersed, leaving only a few food stalls still open, but not surrounded by students who can't stand the poisoning of the school cafeteria.
But this can save Zhang Liying a lot of time, she went directly to the fast food restaurant to buy a few fast food, ready to take home for everyone for dinner, so that she does not have to make dinner. Although this will provoke strong protests from Yan'er, she is really tired today, and she still has a lot of homework to do, and she really can't get the interest in cooking.
"Help me wrap two catties of braised pork and a white-cut chicken...... "She went to a nearby deli store to buy a few catties of meat, so maybe Yan'er would be happier, right? Just when Zhang Liying was about to pay, the hand that was inserted into her pocket and touched her wallet suddenly froze.
A biting cold spread from something in her pocket to her fingers, and then to her body. As soon as she senses the presence of a ghost nearby, the ghost bead will produce this kind of change, Zhang Liying is very familiar with the source of this cold qi, she has encountered it several times before.
In a modern society with such a large population density, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, it is normal for people to die, it is normal for people to die and have ghosts, and it is normal for one or two ghosts to float near you occasionally, this is just a natural phenomenon, there is no need to make a fuss......
And now the street is crowded with people, it is not dark yet, nothing will happen, Zhang Liying repeatedly comforted herself in her heart, and even forgot to take the money that the shopkeeper gave her to make up, so she pushed the cart forward, maybe she was too flustered, she actually bumped into a person in a hurry.
"Ouch!" The person who was hit was a young man, when he walked around and looked around without paying attention, he was hit by a bicycle that Zhang Liying was pushing in a hurry, he turned his head and stared at Zhang Liying and blinked, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while.
Zhang Liying was also startled, and saw that the young man was wearing a white tracksuit, which had been clearly printed with a black and gray wheel print. She hurriedly stopped the car and apologized, hoping that the other party would not have to pay for the laundry.
Zhang Liying had just reached out to look at the stain, but the young man let out a strange scream, and suddenly the whole person slid backwards several steps away.
How did he do it?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, are you okay?" Zhang Liying saw that the other party had been staring at her face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, could it be that there was something on her face? Could it be that he was hit in pain, and was ready to remember his appearance, and turn back to himself to ask for medical expenses? "Are you okay? Is it hurting?"
The young man frowned at her, suddenly shook his head desperately, as if to drive some thought out of his head, and then smiled bitterly: "I must be dizzy, how do I think I have seen you somewhere?"
"Probably not, I have a good memory, as long as it's someone I've met, I won't forget it. Zhang Liying smiled at him.
She is self-aware and knows that she is not a big beauty, otherwise she would have thought that she was a scoundrel who ran to the school gate to seduce high school girls, and she still used this kind of flirtatious trick that even third-rate novels disdain.
This young man looks only about twenty years old, with an extraordinary bearing, healthy wheat-colored skin, and even more vigorous under the backdrop of a brand-name sportswear, and his facial features are very delicate and attractive.
"Are you really okay?" asked Zhang Liying, still uneasy. "I'm sorry, I walked too carelessly, do you want to go to the hospital to have a look?"
The young man still looked at her stunned: "Where is it, I didn't look at the road by accident, it's okay, I can't hurt me if I touch it lightly." ”
"I'm sorry, but I stained your clothes anyway. Zhang Liying looked at the young man and sighed apologetically, "It's just that the stains on your white sportswear are probably difficult to clean." ”
"No, no, I accidentally bumped into it myself, it's not your fault, it's me who walks too easily to get distracted......" On the contrary, the young man was very guilty about hitting Zhang Liying's handlebars, he didn't care that his clothes would be dirtier because of this, he quickly fixed the front of the car with his legs and twisted it hard, restoring the handlebars to their original position, but there was naturally another black mark on his white trousers.
Zhang Liying was in a much better mood when she said goodbye to him. It's a pleasure to meet a polite stranger. After she got on the bike and walked for a while, she couldn't help but look back again, and the young man was still standing at the school gate, looking into the school, as if looking for something.
"Maybe he's waiting for someone at the school gate, maybe he's a friend of a classmate or a relative of a teacher or something......" Zhang Liying thought for a while, and her thoughts quickly returned to the few mouths at home waiting for dinner, so she couldn't help but speed up the ride.
After she left, the young man lingered at the school gate for a while, never going in, but turned around and frowned as he looked in the direction where Zhang Liying disappeared.
"How could such a thing happen...... I must have read it wrong......" he muttered a few words, then turned and walked slowly to the other side of the street, quickly disappearing into the crowd......
After Zhang Liying entered the door, she habitually threw the schoolbag in her hand on the sofa, and then threw herself on it as well, and the whole person shrank in the soft sofa and let out a comfortable moan. It took her a moment to realize that something was wrong.
Why is the room so quiet? Ever since Yan'er, Black Bean, and Ji Ao arrived, her house had been a noisy place. She looked up and saw Black Bean curled up in a corner, and Ji Ao was staring at her nervously.
"Tell me honestly, are you two talking bad about me behind my back again!" Zhang Liying crossed her waist and pointed at them sternly.
These two guys would sometimes discuss things sneakily behind Zhang Liying's back, and if Zhang Liying found out and interrogated them, Ji Ao would say that he was asking Black Bean to guide him in his spells.
Zhang Liying believed them once or twice at first, but after many times, she couldn't help but doubt, anyway, she didn't know spells, what did it matter if they taught her in front of her, were you afraid that she wouldn't be able to learn secretly? She finally found out that when the two of them were sneaking, they must be talking about her behind her back.
Zhang Liying is very democratic, she knows that no one is perfect, and she has many shortcomings, and it is the freedom of others to talk about herself, so she can't cancel their dinner or not let them watch TV for a few days, right? Since they are talking about others behind their backs, they should be clever and not be caught red-handed by her, if she is caught in front of her and doesn't say anything, then wouldn't she, a parent, be very faceless?
"Girl, you think too much, I didn't say anything bad about you, it's really nothing. Ji Ao hurriedly denied it, while Heidou continued to bow his head and look out of the matter.
Just now, because Zhang Liying came back late, and they didn't call to inform them, they thought of the ghost master incident and Zhang Liying's character, the two of them couldn't help but worry, chatted and chatted, and talked about how to solve this matter.
Black Bean thought about it for a long time and finally came up with an idea, but the method was a bit dangerous, and it required Ji Ao to execute. For Zhang Liying's sake, Ji Ao of course agreed to come down. But this method can't be let Zhang Liying know, otherwise......
"Black Bean, what do you want to say?" Zhang Liying violently knocked Black Bean on the head, and then pulled it in front of her.
Heidou lowered his head and said, "We just hope you pay attention to safety, Ji Ao and I are discussing the matter of cooking a small hell in the oil kettle." ”
"What's going on?" Zhang Liying's face really sank. Ji Ao and Black Bean should be discussing something that doesn't obey her orders at all, right?
"Black Bean, Ji Ao is a stupid person, but you're not, you have been a general of the underworld for thousands of years, how can you be as indifferent as him!" Zhang Liying has always respected and loved Black Bean, this is the first time she has spoken to him in this tone, "You tell Ji Ao to go to hell, doesn't that mean that he will risk the destruction of his soul? You also know that he can only use his soul to return to the underworld, and even the yin wind of hell can blow him away." ”
Black Bean lowered his head and said nothing. He did give Ji Ao a dangerous idea, and Zhang Liying was not wrong to blame it like this.
This is my idea, it was my own volition, don't scold the black bean......" Ji Ao thought about taking all the responsibility on himself.
