Chapter 106: Sudden Parting
Xu Lang stood on the rooftop of the Ghost King Palace, looking at the paradise that was close to closing but was still very lively, and was a little distracted.
Originally, it was a happy thing to come back safely from Yin/Men Village, but he just couldn't be happy.
On the surface, it seems that this matter is over, but in fact, many things have not been figured out.
For example, how was Xia Ziqi arrested in the first place, and why did she bury her alive? And how did she find the village?
For another example, why did Han Liyan go to Yin/Gate Village to make sacrifices? What exactly is the stone you get?
"Alas...... In the past, when I first got the system, it was basically a task and a pit, and it was done if I filled the hole. But now it's a chain of pits, one after another. Moreover, it raises a lot of questions outside of the mission. ”
Xu Lang secretly came to his senses for a while, and then called Li Tai: "Uncle Li, I'm sorry to trouble you so late." You also know that after tonight's incident, Han Liyan and I have made a bond, so I thought if I could learn a little bit about his situation? Knowing myself and knowing my opponent, I am also safer. ”
Xu Lang's original intention was actually to see Han Liyan's file, but he knew that it was impossible.
Sure enough, after Li Tai heard Xu Lang's words, he paused obviously before saying, "The information about the criminal suspect is personal privacy and confidential. It's not convenient for me to disclose. But don't worry, he is now on the blacklist of the bureau, and we are always watching this person's movements, and sooner or later we will catch him...... By the way, Ziqi's kid will be entrusted to you, and I can rest assured that I will hand it over to you. ”
"Hey, it's not Uncle Li, Xia Ziqi and I are just ordinary friends." Xu Lang explained.
"Ordinary friends are also friends, you talk to her more, enlighten her. Count me in debt to you. ”
Saying that, Li Tai hung up the phone, leaving Xu Lang with an inexplicable face, he called to ask for some information about Han Liyan, why did he end up becoming Xia Ziqi?
Xu Lang put down his phone and returned to the office, before he sat down on the sofa, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
He mentioned Xia Ziqi on the phone and asked me to talk to her more. But looking at Xia Ziqi's appearance, they are not necessarily very familiar. Is he hinting that I can go to Xia Ziqi and ask about the situation? ”
The more Xu Lang pondered it, the more he felt that this was the case. Just as he wanted to get up and go to find Xia Ziqi, who knew that Huang Xinxin's figure appeared out of thin air and collided with him: "Boss, someone has come to kick the gym." ”
"Kick the gym?" Xu Lang took two steps back.
"There was one guy who played all of our scenes without a hint of psychological turmoil. Sister Xuefei was about to be cruel to him at that time, but I stopped her. ”
"It's good to stop it, Miss Lu really wants to scare people, but I'm afraid that someone will die. However, tourists are not naturally afraid of horror things, so this can't be considered a kick in the museum, right? Xu Lang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not surprised that someone was not afraid of this situation, after all, there were all kinds of people in the forest, and there were always some people with strong psychological endurance.
"Boss, I wouldn't have said that if he only came to experience it, but he still robbed people!" Huang Xinxin said hurriedly.
"Robbing people? What do you mean? Robbing our guests? Xu Lang was a little confused when he heard this.
"No, someone is robbing you! It's the girl you brought back. Someone chatted with her, and they were quite happy to watch. Isn't this robbing you of people? Huang Xinxin pulled Xu Lang to the edge of the rooftop and pointed to a clearing near the Ghost King Palace, "Oh, it's there." ”
Xu Lang was a little dizzy by Huang Xinxin's words, but he didn't have time to correct her words, he looked in the direction pointed by Huang Xinxin, Xia Ziqi was really there, and there was a man standing in front of her.
From a distance, the man is neither tall nor short, white polo shirt, black trousers, slightly mature, in short, he looks like a successful person, standing in his audience, which is mainly the 90s and 00s, it looks a little eye-catching.
Xu Lang looked at it for a while, and found that the two began to pull and pull, Xia Ziqi's emotions seemed to be a little excited: "This is not a chat, right?" It's like a quarrel, and I'll have to go down and see. ”
……
"Ziqi, don't check it any further, it's too dangerous." The man persuaded Xia Ziqi bitterly.
"Brother Zifeng, what are you talking about? My dad is not only your teacher, but also your godfather, and he has taken care of you for so many years. Now that you've had a successful career, you're leaving him alone? Xia Ziqi was furious, pointed at the man and scolded, "You don't care about it, do you want me to ignore it!" I'm sorry, I can't! ”
"My godfather is so kind to me, how can I not care? Aren't the police already looking? I've asked my friend to keep an eye on him, and I'm sure I'll find him. ”
The man comforted Xia Ziqi and said, "Ziqi, I treat you as my own sister, so I want you to live better!" I believe that Godfather also thinks the same as me, I hope you go back to school to finish your studies, and then find a job and live in peace instead of wandering around in danger all day long! ”
"As for finding someone, let's leave it to the police!"
The conversation between the two became louder and louder, and Xu Lang had already heard it clearly before he got close.
It turned out to be a brother and sister who were not related by blood, so Xia Ziqi would not be in any danger.
Xu Lang thought for a while, and did not continue to move forward, but turned back the same way. After all, this is someone's family matter, and it's okay to accidentally hear it, but if you deliberately eavesdrop on it, it will be immoral.
Not long after returning to the office, Xu Lang saw Xia Ziqi walking in with her brother.
"Boss Xu, let me introduce to you, this is my brother, Xia Zifeng; This is the owner of the park, Xu Lang. As soon as Xia Ziqi came in, he briefly introduced the two sides.
"Hello Boss Xu, I heard Ziqi say that she has been living here for the past few days, and she has caused you trouble." Xia Zifeng stretched out his hand and said hello very formally.
When Xu Lang heard it, the tone was very official and polite, but at the same time, he was full of vigilance and alienation, and he didn't feel guilty for causing trouble, but thinking that he was Xia Ziqi's brother, Xu Lang still stretched out his hand generously: "Mr. Xia is polite, Miss Xia is also my friend, so I can't talk about causing trouble." ”
Xia Ziqi was a little happy when she heard the word "friend", but this happiness did not last long.
She hesitated and said, "That...... Xu Lang, I have something to go home for, so I'm leaving the park...... Thank you so much for taking care of me these days. ”
Xu Lang was stunned, he heard from the conversation between their brother and sister before, Xia Ziqi seemed unwilling to go back, and wanted to continue to check Xia Zhengliang's clues, why did he change his mind after a while?
However, this is someone's decision, and it is inconvenient for him to ask in detail: "What do you take care of or not, they are all friends, why do you say these kind words?" Feel free to come back and play whenever you want. ”
Xia Ziqi's expression moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all, but used to pack her luggage as an excuse and left the office.
There were only two people left in the office, Xu Lang and Xia Zifeng, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Xu Lang poured him a glass of water and beckoned, "Mr. Xia, sit down, Miss Xia should have a while to collect things." Forehead...... I don't know what line Mr. Xia does? ”
"Associate Professor of Folklore, Jinling University." Xia Zifeng took the water handed by Xu Lang, but he didn't drink it, and he didn't mean to sit down and wait.
And when he speaks, his whole body exudes a confident atmosphere, and he has a little bit of a high-level appearance.
Another university professor, Xu Lang smiled and sighed: "It's good to be a university professor, although you don't have much money, you have a high status and belong to the elite intellectual class." Unlike me, although I make more money in one night than you earn in a month, in the end I am just a stinky profiteer. ”
Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble, after all, the first time the two sides met, there was no contradiction, but Xia Zifeng's attitude made him very unhappy. So, it's ironic to be overtly and secretly.
Xia Zifeng is not one of those old pedants, but a very shrewd social person, who naturally understands the subtext in Xu Lang's words.
He was not angry, smiled slightly, and said, "Many supernatural events, legends, etc., are within the scope of my research. If Boss Xu thinks that the scene in the park can't scare people one day, you can come to me, and I will give you a little professional advice. ”
After speaking, he handed Xu Lang a business card.
Xu Lang was as kind as a stream, and took the business card: "Then I will thank Mr. Xia first." ”
is worthy of being a university professor, hurting people without a dirty word, what is the scene that can't scare people? Isn't it just that the business of the Curse Paradise is not good?
Hum! I'll lose this time, we'll see next time!
……
Xia Ziqi left, Xu Lang personally sent her into Xia Zifeng's car, and then watched the car slowly move away.
Recalling the thrilling experiences of the two, Xu Lang's heart was so courageous that he even forgot that the two had known each other for a few days.
"Boy, I'm going to need to be away for a while, too." Xu Lang was walking back after sending Xia Ziqi off, when he suddenly heard the words of the spirit officer.
"Senior Lingguan, what's wrong with you?" Xu Lang felt very strange, why was it so sudden.
"When my cultivation reaches the most critical time, I must recall my clone for a while." The spirit officer said, "I won't be able to help you for a long time to come. ”
"It's okay, cultivation is the most important thing...... By the way, are you still short of dread? Otherwise, you can help me with something, and I'll give you terror points? After all, you saved me, and I should help you too. ”
Xu Lang didn't say to give it directly, after all, these horror points are the result of the efforts of the entire paradise, and he can't just give away the horror points, but if he does something simple and sends some horror points, it can still be justified.
"Naturally, there is no shortage, if there is a lack of terror value, I can earn a vote and leave. Why recall now. The spirit officer said teasingly.
"You, get out of here!"
Xu Lang was choked and a little annoyed. The two sides have been together for a while, and they have some feelings. Now that he was going to leave for a short time, he seemed a little sentimental, and he planned to express his kindness, but he didn't expect such a result.
"Stingy, young people are angry when they joke? Don't worry, we'll have to work together in the future! The spirit officer obviously knew what Xu Lang was thinking, and he was in a good mood, and his words also had a touch of humanity.
Then, Xu Lang felt some pain in his body, he raised his arm to look, and the man's facial sores were gradually disappearing.
After lasting for more than ten seconds, the sores on the face completely disappeared, and the pain disappeared with it.
"Alas, I always feel that something is missing...... Xu Lang sighed, in just a few minutes, two comrades-in-arms parted in a row, more or less emotionally, "When you go out to do tasks in the future, you can't be too arrogant and too casual." ”
He is reluctant to give up, but life still has to go on, and when the time for the park to close is up, it is time for him to wash and sleep.
I thought so, but before he reached the Ghost King Palace, Xu Lang received a call from Qin Xiaolu, saying that he wanted to invite him to supper.
Xu Lang hung up the phone and looked at the time, it was more than three o'clock in the morning, "Please invite me to have supper at this time?" ”
……
Xu Lang sat next to the table, looked at the hot instant noodles on the table, and then looked at Qin Xiaolu opposite: "Qin Xiaolu, cough cough...... The so-called supper, is at your house, invite me to eat instant noodles? ”
"It's almost four o'clock in the morning, and this is not an urban area, where can I have a late-night snack? It's nice to have instant noodles. Qin Xiaolu ate quite happily, "Well, I'll add another braised egg to you." ”
"It's not good to always eat instant noodles, I'll make you a meal." Xu Lang said as he opened the other party's refrigerator and saw that it was empty, he was stunned, "Nothing...... How do you live? ”
"The unit has a canteen, so you don't need to do it yourself." Seeing that Xu Lang had no intention of eating, Qin Xiaolu simply put down his chopsticks, knocked on the table, and raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about tonight's incident in Yin/Gate Village." ”
Xu Lang was stunned, sure enough, Qin Xiaolu invited himself to eat "supper" in the middle of the night, there was a purpose, but at this time, it was less than three hours before he left Yin/Men Village, how did she know about this?
"What Yin/Gate Village?" Xu Lang looked at Qin Xiaolu with an innocent expression.
"It's still pretending." Qin Xiaolu took out his mobile phone and tinkered with it, "Look at it yourself, it's not bad." ”
Xu Lang took it and took a look, it turned out that someone had posted on the supernatural forum with a photo, and he was in the photo.
He took a look at the poster, and his name was: Arhat of Horror.
"The fat man is really ......" Xu Lang was helpless, the photo should have been taken by Luo Han when he looked at the punch card board and looked for Xia Ziqi's name.
The title of this post is even more eye-catching: "Shocked, the soul exploration team broke into the Yin/Gate Village at night and encountered a mysterious force!" ”
He skimmed through the post roughly, but fortunately, the content announced did not really touch the core of the case, otherwise, Luo Han might have been locked up by Li Tai.
