Chapter 28: Choice
On the eleventh holiday, Chen's father and Chen's mother asked my parents to go hiking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The mountains in autumn are so beautiful that people are intoxicated, and the leaves of the trees are golden or fiery red all over the mountains. The mountains set off are exceptionally green, and the sky is exceptionally blue.
Chen Xiaoxiao and I finally stole half a day of leisure from the heavy study tasks, ran around the mountains to our heart's content, and had a lot of fun. By the time they were finally exhausted, the parents had already laid out the tablecloths for the picnic, put out the delicious food, and everyone sat around eating and chatting together.
I grabbed some food and lay down in a hammock next to me, watching the sun seep through the leaves and the cool breeze blowing.
"Haven't you seen anything lately?" Chen Yibai walked over with a bowl of watermelon and leaned on the edge of the hammock. I watched as the sunlight poured down from the top of his head, forming a halo around his face, and smiled, "You look so handsome." ”
"Cut, I've always been handsome, okay?" Chen Yibai said as he reached out and signed a piece of watermelon and handed it over.
I sat up cross-legged, stretched out my mouth and ate the watermelon. After so many years of being with Chen Yibai and Chen Xiaoxiao, I really treat them as my own brothers and sisters, and I have long lost my taboos.
"It's been relatively peaceful lately, and I haven't seen any more mess." I munched on the watermelon, which was so sweet and juicy that I felt a drop of watermelon juice coming out of my mouth. Chen Yibai reached over and wiped the corners of my mouth and said, "Look at what you eat, you don't have a girl's ladylike energy." ”
I laughed twice and said, "Where can I be a lady, I see those things every day, I am too lady, I will die a long time ago." ”
Saying that, I thought of the senior sister of the rotten ghost, so I told Chen Yibai what I thought of the ghost.
"I always thought that people would die a hundred, but I didn't expect that these wicked people could become powerful ghosts after they died, and they could continue to harm people."
Chen Yibai smiled and said, "If there is an institution in this world that specializes in punishing powerful ghosts, are you willing to join?" ”
"How is that possible?" I reached out and patted him and said, "Don't be kidding, what do you think is going to talk about fasting?" ”
"No kidding, what I said is true." Chen Yibai put down the watermelon as he spoke, glanced at the parents not far away, gently lifted the left half sleeve and said, "Show you something." ”
It was a tattoo, and the pattern was a shield as the base, and in the middle of the shield was a gossip figure, and the gossip was pressed down with a skull. The color of indigo was not very eye-catching on Chen Yi's white-brown sturdy arms, but I was still very surprised.
"What is this?" I couldn't help but reach out and rub it hard to make sure it wasn't painted.
"It's a contract." Chen Yibai lowered his sleeves: "This is the contract I signed with the place where I will work in the future." ”
"Where do you work? But you went to the Public Security University, don't you want to be a police officer in the future? ”
"Yes, I want to be a police officer." Chen Yibai looked at me calmly and said, "But the place where I want to be a policeman is not an ordinary kind of policeman, it is specially designed to deal with ghosts." As you said, people do not die and live forever, there are many ghosts who turn into powerful ghosts for their own selfish interests, not only for the underworld, but also for the world. This agency is dedicated to them. ”
"Really? Is there such an institution in the world? "I seem to be listening to the Arabian Nights, all along, I thought that the only one who could deal with ghosts and these things was the Onmyoji, but I didn't expect that there would be such an institution.
"This institution directly belongs to the state, and the highest body is the Special Criminal Investigation Bureau, and the first-level cities have their own special criminal investigation offices, and the prefecture-level cities and counties are called special criminal investigation teams. The organization is full of people like us, most of them are children of the Onmyoji family, talented people who are willing to do this. ”
I pointed to Chen Yibai's arm and asked, "Then do all the people in this institution have to get that kind of tattoo?" ”
"Yes, because of the special nature of our work, we require absolute purity and loyalty from the team." Chen Yibai stretched out his hand and touched his left arm: "But none of us are ordinary people, and if we violate the oath, we can't punish it by ordinary means, so we got this contract." ”
"And what happens if you betray this institution?"
Chen Yibai frowned, then smiled and said, "I will never betray, I feel like this is my fate." ”
"Destiny ......" I sighed, "yes, who can stop fate, like I ......"
Chen Yibai bit his lip, as if he wanted to say something but felt inappropriate. I smiled and said, "What? You want to comfort me but you can't find the right words, right? Well, I can't comfort myself, and don't blame yourself. ”
"I'm not trying to comfort you." Chen Yibai said: "Actually, I would like to suggest that you also join us. Your ability to see ghosts and touch them is very rare, even in the Special Investigation Agency, there are only two such personnel. If you can join ......"
"Stop!" I crossed my arms and compared them to Chen Yibai's eyes: "Don't say it, I don't want to deal with ghosts forever, do you know that every time I see them, I am half scared to death?" You also said that I am not suitable for learning Yin-Yang Mathematics, so if I see hell every day in the future, how can I protect myself. ”
With that, I jumped out of the hammock and reached for a piece of watermelon and put it in my mouth: "I studied so hard to become a doctor, preferably a heart specialist, and be able to treat those heart diseases that are particularly difficult to treat." That's my ideal, you know? A white brother. ”
Chen Yibai didn't continue to try to convince me, just smiled. I turned around and walked towards my parents, not because I was really a little angry, but because I actually had a very strong curiosity about this mysterious institution, and if I didn't turn around and walk away, I was afraid that Chen Yibai would see it.
Think about a place where it's full of people who are similar to you. They deal with ghosts every day, and there, they are no longer alone in the face of these scary things, and they are no longer ignorant of everything. Just thinking about it makes me feel tempting.
But there is another thing that worries me more, and that is my heart. I know that my heart can only be sustained to this day by relying on Cheng Xi's elixir, and I want to be able to cure my heart so that Cheng Xi can get his elixir back.
Although Cheng Xi never said anything, I could feel the importance of the elixir to him. I was even thinking that the elixir was to him what the heart was to me, so I had to find a way to return this thing to his owner as soon as possible.
In a secret place far away, Cheng Xi curled up in a chair with a tired face. The woman in black walked into the room and handed over a large glass of red liquid. Cheng Xi drank it all, his tired demeanor was relieved, and he opened his eyes, his black eyes shining brightly.
"Why are you doing this? Kill the girl directly and get the elixir back, and it will be fine. The voice of the woman in black sounded softly.
Cheng Xi didn't speak, he reached out and pulled the woman's wrist, and his slender fingers gently wiped the wound dripping blood on the woman's wrist, and the wound healed instantly, as if there had never been a wound.
