Chapter 26: The Soul's Lodge
On January 16th, the weather was fine
I've joined the Grotesque Studio, but I'm not getting a job, not because I don't trust it, but because I really don't have anything to do, and the studio currently has only three employees besides me...... The man takes a nap on the couch in the studio with a mutant cat named Wind Chimes in his arms.
In the evening, I went to the food city in the central area of Yecheng to eat hot pot, and they did not show too much hostility towards my arrival.
On January 17, the weather was cloudy with light rain
There is no video editing work, helping Li Qinglian to sort out news materials and some foreign affairs, and it can be seen from the delivery materials in a commercial cooperation mailbox that the Grotesque Studio has received many commercial sponsorships and has sufficient funds.
The man took a nap with wind chimes in his arms, woke up and sat by the window in a daze, and then played games with Wu Tong from the Grotesque Studio until the evening.
He doesn't seem to be exercising his body, perhaps because he's still wary of me.
In the evening, go to the food city in the central area of Yecheng to eat dessert and watch a movie afterwards.
"What kind of studio is this......
Olivia, who had always had the habit of writing a diary in the past, reluctantly put down the pen in her hand.
**
On the third day of arriving at the Grotesque Studio, Olivia sat up from the bed in her pajamas, looked at the empty bed next to her, and suddenly realized that there was a problem.
It seems that the self-discipline habit of going to bed early and waking up early that I had developed in the army is being corroded by this comfortable life......
In her opinion, the people in this studio are too comfortable, except for some foreign work that needs to communicate with other companies in the past two days, they are usually in leisure and entertainment.
"Olivia, wake up, I have work today. β
Li Qinglian, who returned to the bedroom after washing, picked up the down jacket on the hanger next to her and said.
Since Olivia didn't have a house in Yecheng, she lived with Li Qinglian after she joined the studio, which was proposed by the latter, and she was very unaccustomed to living in such a big place alone, and the layout in the bedroom could add another bed.
"Work, he's going out to shoot a video?"
Olivia, who was stepping on her slippers, was shocked and thought that she was finally on the right track.
"That's not it, today we are going to meet an archaeologist, before we went to Songmu Mountain to soak in the hot springs found some stone slabs, there are some very strange paintings on them, some time ago an archaeologist contacted us, said to see these stone slabs with our own eyes, so we made an appointment to meet in the big library in Yecheng, if you want to sleep, it doesn't matter, it's just a meeting." β
Li Qinglian received the information last night and had already notified Zhu Jue and Wu Tong in advance.
"I'll go too!"
Naturally, she couldn't miss this kind of information to obtain special information, and after quickly washing, she changed into a rather thick down jacket to completely cover her figure.
Although in this day and age, paper books have been abandoned by many people, who are accustomed to using the Internet to search for some information they want, but there are still a considerable number of people who like the atmosphere of libraries, which also gives these big libraries a reason to continue to exist.
It was not Zhu Jue's request to be in this place, but the archaeologist's decision, saying that this place would not be disturbed and that they would also stay here.
In the quiet room, Zhu Jue placed the mural slate on the table, Wu Tong and Li Qinglian sat beside him, and Olivia sat on the sofa next to him, her eyes wandering between the slate and those people opposite.
Although she had asked Li Qinglian about the origin of the incident on the way, she still couldn't understand why these stone slabs had attracted the attention of the Federal Archaeological Association.
The number of people who came from the other side was no less than them.
Except for Auguste Antoine, who had been seen in the video before, and several of his students, they were all young people.
"Is this all the slate, how do you use that one underneath...... Wrapped in a bath towel?"
After introducing each other, August got up and leaned over the stacked slabs to take a closer look, and soon noticed the peculiar slate.
Reaching out to open the slate, he was caught by Zhu Jue.
"Do you want to die?"
Zhu Jue frowned, even he didn't dare to open this stone slab casually, if ordinary people didn't have any protective measures, as long as they glanced at it, the hue value would skyrocket directly.
"Hey, how do you talk!"
Auguste's students thought that Zhu Jue meant to threaten his teacher, and hurriedly stood up to make a statement.
Zhu Jue didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly rolled his eyes back.
"Is there something strange here? Do you want a spiritual protector?"
August immediately withdrew his hand, shook his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice.
"You know?"
The other party's reaction is obviously to understand this aspect of things, so it is much easier to communicate, Zhu Jue nodded, and continued,
"This is the weird portrait I talked about in the video, and if you open it here, we'll all have to go out sideways...... Talk alone?"
"Yes, let's talk individually...... You guys go out and wait for me, I have something to talk about with this gentleman. β
Auguste's position among his students was needless to say, and they only hesitated and left the ashram.
"You guys also go out first, Wu Tong, give me the spiritual protector. β
On the one hand, Zhu Jue didn't plan to let them see the portrait, on the other hand, there are only two in the studio, and all of them are taken out to prevent special circumstances.
Since watching Zhu Jue's first-person perspective kill the monster of the spiritual pollution source, Wu Tong and Lotus Yeke have both carried spiritual protection devices with them.
I'm afraid that one day I will accidentally "go lucky" and meet that kind of monster, with Zhu Jue, as long as they can hide for a while, they will definitely not die, and they are afraid of having an "affectionate look" with each other, and then Zhu Jue's ability will not be able to save them.
"I ......"
As a member of the Einsatzgruppen, Olivia thought it was time to stay.
"Olivia, I don't know the toilet here, can you accompany me?"
Li Qinglian directly grabbed Olivia's elbow, the latter turned her head to look at Li Qinglian a little strangely, with her strength, this girl naturally couldn't drag her, just looked at Li Qinglian with anxious eyes and shook her head, she ghostly followed away.
She didn't notice the cold light in Zhu Jue's dark eyes behind her when she turned her head after discovering that she had objections.
Li Qinglian, who was facing Zhu Jue, saw it.
"Why did you pull me out just now?"
Outside the door, Olivia was dragged aside by Li Qinglian and asked a little angrily.
"You can't do that, Zhu Jue has something to talk about with the archaeologist, he let us go for our own good, and...... If you forcibly stay there, it will only make Zhu Jue think that you are disturbing his work, and you will be very dangerous!"
is also an employee, as the person who was recruited in the future, Li Qinglian actually has her own understanding of the situation in the studio.
My two bosses don't have the same view of the studio.
For Wu Tong, this studio is his career, to be precise, it is a career that can make him famous and make a lot of money, so he will often take the initiative to do some things, such as the previous video theme song.
In order to take the grotesque studio to the next level, he is willing to work hard instead of lying on the basis of the present and enjoying life.
And Zhu Jue is different from Wu Tong, on the surface, he doesn't care about the business of the studio, most of the time on weekdays he either sleeps or plays games, but in Li Qinglian's eyes, it happens to be this man who cares about this studio the most!
Perhaps, in the beginning, Zhu Jue only thought of this studio as an intelligence gathering station and a money-making tool.
However, once a person gives something to something, he will cherish it.
As Zhu Jue relied on his ability to shoot a large number of video materials to make the studio grow, before he knew it, it became a place of spiritual sustenance for him.
Maybe even Zhu Jue didn't realize that the ancient, incompatible soul in his body, relying on the grotesque studio, had a close connection with today's world for the first time.
Zhu Jue used to stay in the old city in the east, hunting monsters everywhere every day.
At that time, he was like a ghost of the old times, roaming this world.
He breaks with his past, but he can't see his future.
Therefore, Qin Chengren's evaluation of him at that time was: no worries, no taboos!
Who can guarantee that Zhu Jue will not fall into self-inflicted madness in the process of constantly hunting monsters?
If a "monster" like him loses his mind, it will be the biggest disaster in Yecheng!
And the grotesque studio gave Zhu Jue a reason to survive in this era, and also appeased his lonely soul who didn't know how to get rid of it, so even if Zhu Jue didn't seem to care, Wu Tong and Li Qinglian still had to report the situation of the studio to him in detail.
Because of this, Li Qinglian was so nervous when she noticed that Olivia wanted to meddle in the special aspects of the grotesque studio's work.
That is Zhu Jue's realm, and she and Wu Tong are only to the extent that they can make suggestions, and the result that Olivia, an outsider, wants to get involved, no matter how you think about it, it won't be too good......
"I got it......"
Although she couldn't understand it, Olivia was keenly aware of something and nodded.
At this time, in the quiet room, Zhu Jue was helping August move the ordinary mural slate to the image analysis machine next to it to be scanned, waiting for the easier to manipulate the computer image, Zhu Jue didn't understand why there was an image analysis machine in this kind of place at first, and after listening to Auguste's explanation, he knew that this was originally one of the offices of the Federal Archaeological Association.
It's no wonder that August made the meeting here.
The two then put on the psychic protector and went to the last stone slab.
"Wait, I've got something to wear. β
Stopping Zhu Jue from lifting the bath towel, August took a strangely shaped metal object from somewhere in his pocket.
"What is this?"
Zhu Jue remembers seeing this image in a previous video.
"We call it the Old Seal, which specializes in anti-monster protection!"
August's words were filled with confidence.
"So powerful?"
While looking at the strange old seal, I opened the bath towel.
Si Xi Suo ~ Xi Xi Suo ~ The indefinite whisper sounded in the quiet room.
βIthaqua!β
August stared at the slate for a long time, spitting out strange syllables.
In an instant, a wind rose out of thin air in the quiet room.....
