Chapter Twenty-Six: The Head of a Hundred Ghosts
"Are you sure this is the Slippery Head? I don't see the slightest demonic aura in him. ”
Yejun's words made Su Xiaoxiao's confident pace stop again.
This old man doesn't look like a ghost no matter how he looks at it, if it's really an old-timer he doesn't know, just go up and point at his nose and say that he is a slippery ghost, it would be really rude.
This kind of ambivalence is also human nature, Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, and pulled over a man who had just greeted the old man, "Senior, do you know who that old man is?" ”
"He's ......" After the man said these two words, he scratched his head uncertainly, "Anyway, it's a very powerful character-hey, aren't you the first newcomer Su Xiaoxiao to graduate this year?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao responded proudly, and then said with a sneer on his face, "Senior, you even know me, how can you not know such a famous senior?" ”
The man blushed and pretended to be calm and said, "I'...... Of course I do! That old-timer is...... It's a high-level UO, and it's inconvenient for me to reveal the name! ”
After saying that, he walked away.
UO, full name U
ited O
Myoji, Onmyoji Federation. It is an international organization composed of onmyoji from all over the world.
Similar to the United Nations in the mortal world, it is the supreme governing body of the Yin and Yang Realm.
The famous "Fez" is an organization affiliated with UO, which gathers the best onmyoji in the world, and is also the dream place for every onmyoji to find a job.
The man was right about one thing, the top of UO was indeed little known.
However, Su Xiaoxiao saw his panic at a glance, what "UO's high-level" must be a lie.
Still, she was a little hesitant.
"Isn't it just offending the leader, you are not his subordinate, it's a big deal that you can't be an official for the rest of your life, what's there to be afraid of?"
Yejun said it simply, but Su's little father also has a job title in UO, and the matter of blowing up the building was also settled by relying on his connections in UO, if he offended him like this......
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao shook her head desperately, trying to throw out all the distractions in her head.
He is by no means a top of UO!
Should...... No way?
Yejun stood on her shoulder and yawned mockingly, "Do you even ask?" Don't ask me, go back to sleep first. ”
Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, and said in her heart that if you die, you will die!
She jerked her head back and walked back in the direction of the bar.
Gu Ming was a little disappointed when he saw that she had returned in vain, and was about to ask, but saw that she picked up the cup in the middle of the three glasses of wine, which represented the "Earth Eye", and drank it all as soon as she raised her head.
This is not a fruit wine, but an original drink of some kind of cocktail with an extremely high degree of content.
After a cup of belly, I immediately felt energetic and refreshed, and then it was as uncomfortable as a fire burning my throat.
Putting the empty wine glass back on the bar, Su Xiaoxiao rushed towards the suspicious old man with the strength of the wine.
There were four or five people around the old man, and Su Xiaoxiao appeared very abruptly, glaring at him with a lot of drunkenness.
The old man looked at her, frowned, and said, "This little girl, is there something wrong with me?" ”
"Yes, can we talk individually?"
Her tone was very unkind, and she immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of a middle-aged uncle on the side, "This little girl, how can she be so rude to her seniors!" ”
The others chimed in, and the number fell to her.
The old man stretched out his hand to signal them to be quiet, and looked at her with interest, "What's your name?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her head, "My name is Su Xiaoxiao!" ”
Crescent Moon Academy is the most famous onmyoji college in China, and half of these people graduated from here, so naturally they have heard of Su Xiaoxiao, who is known as the "first newcomer in school history".
After a whisper, the old man cast an approving glance at her, "Young and promising." You came to talk to me alone, there must be your reason. ”
As he spoke, he said to the people around him very dignifiedly, "Can you give Lao Yu and this little girl Su a little time for themselves?" ”
Hearing him say this, everyone said that it didn't matter, and in the blink of an eye, they all dispersed.
Leaving only one young man, he said apologetically, "I'd like to hear it too, okay?" ”
The old man didn't mind, and asked Su Xiaoxiao for his opinion, "This ......" He seemed to want to say the name of this young man, but after hesitating for a moment, he continued, "This little friend, like you, is as fearsome and knowledgeable as you, and uses more than us old men, maybe he can help you." ”
Seeing that he couldn't say the name of this person, Su Xiaoxiao was even more convinced that this old man was a slippery ghost, thinking that there was someone to witness it, and then the glorious deeds of the slippery ghost could be spread, and Baili would be harmless.
"Okay, let's talk about it then." Su Xiao wrote a novel and sat down opposite the old man.
The three of them formed a triangle, which was quite like a three-way meeting.
As soon as he sat down, Su Xiaoxiao went straight to the point, "Senior, I came to find a slippery ghost, and I need to ask him something." ”
As soon as they heard the name "slippery ghost", a trace of consternation flashed on their faces.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "The slippery ghost is good at hiding in the crowd, and it is difficult for ordinary onmyoji to find it, even I can't see his traces." ”
The young man nodded in agreement.
Su Xiaoxiao guessed that he would pretend to be stupid, and then said, "People can't see him because he will pretend to be a big person, ordinary people compete for fame and fortune, even if they don't know him, they will flatter him and treat him as a guest." ”
The old man's gaze deepened, "This is an interesting theory, and you have been the first onmyoji to put forward this idea for a long time. ”
The young man nodded in agreement, "It's really new, I've never heard of it before." ”
The old man looked at her with loving eyes and asked meaningfully, "Then do you think he will be here?" ”
"In. Perhaps, right in front of my eyes. ”
The old man frowned, then laughed, "Interesting, interesting!" In your description, it does look like me. But your theory is very reasonable, most of the people who just surrounded me don't know who I am, but they will be unconsciously attracted to me, it turns out that it is to compete for fame and fortune? It's a lot of fun......
The old man said, looking at the young man, who scratched his head embarrassedly, speechless.
Is this an admission? Although he didn't say it explicitly, Su Xiaoxiao could understand that after all, there was still a third person, how could this old man admit it openly.
Sure enough, the old man then asked, "So, if you find the slippery man, what do you want to ask him?" ”
Finally able to go straight to the point, Su Xiaoxiao talked about the strange beast "Xu" recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The old man was silent for a moment, and he didn't seem to be interested in this topic, "Some of the things recorded in this strange book may exist in the world, but about strange beasts, please forgive the old man for being lonely and unheard. ”
Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask, "But recently, I have seen 'Xu' and fought with it." ”
The old man's face changed, and he immediately became interested, "Have you seen it?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and began to describe the details to him, many of which were not mentioned in the book.
"That's weird. If it really exists, it will be a discovery that shocks the world. ”
"It is recorded in the book that where it appears, disaster will happen. So, I would like to ask, does it have any weaknesses? ”
The old man shook his head slowly, "This may be a tricky matter, but it is not necessarily the Xue recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", maybe you are mistaken, it may be just some kind of monster that looks similar to the Xu." ”
It seems that even the slippery head ghost doesn't believe her?
Su Xiaoxiao was very discouraged, she didn't expect to spend so much time to find the slippery ghost, but she didn't find anything.
The old man's tone was apologetic, "After all, it's a legendary thing, and I can't know its weaknesses, so it's a pity that I can't help you." ”
"Okay...... Excuse me. Su Xiaoxiao collapsed on the sofa like a deflated ball.
This sitting posture was very indecent, but the old man stood up without care, "But I will pay attention to what you said, and I will report the situation to UO when I go back, so that they can pay more attention." For now, you can go ahead and find the slippery man, maybe he'll know something. I beg your pardon for taking your leave. ”
The old man's words made Su Xiaoxin a little confused, and he was confused when he looked at his meaningful smile.
What does this slippery ghost mean? Obviously he has already found him, why do you want to ask her to find the slippery ghost?
Is there any deep meaning in this?
While pondering, the old man had already left the bar under the watchful eye of everyone, and Su Xiaoxiao was completely depressed.
Thinking that tonight would be in vain, the young man said faintly, "You are the first onmyoji to find me in the past few decades." But it's interesting that you didn't debunk me in front of Gen Mingyi. ”
