It seems that Qin Yao is still maintaining a relatively close cooperative relationship with the Blue Bird Company on the surface.

Xiao Chen felt a little strange, because since this operation was related to the Blue Bird Company, why did Mr. Wang and that Steward Zhu let Qin Yao come in to investigate by himself? They should at least arrange some people nearby to secretly cooperate with Qin Yao, right?

For example, the last time Qin Yao had a conversation with Xiao Chen, who was pretending to be Chen Meng, near the school gate, there were a few strong men who answered her outside the school gate.

In addition, every time Qin Yao went to the school for activities, she was never alone.

This couldn't help but make Xiao Chen wonder if Qin Yao still had someone secretly helping this time, but they hadn't found out yet.

Xiao Chen felt that this matter was definitely not so simple, if it wasn't for the task to forcibly push him on, he would definitely not continue to let Chen Meng and Yue Ling follow Qin Yao.

The key point now is that this system task is only for him personally, maybe the system will not let him have an accident, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect other people around him, such as the current Chen Meng and Yue Ling...... Although both of them were his own spiritual servants, Xiao Chen didn't dare to guarantee it.

Therefore, Xiao Chen told Li Gon for the first time that when he monitored Qin Yao's moves, he should focus on protecting the safety of Chen Meng and Yue Ling.

Li Gon quickly agreed.

Qin Yao's speed was very fast, and she almost trotted all the way to the door of the library.

It's nearly eleven o'clock in the morning, and the students who are reading in the library haven't left yet, so it's a lot of time of the day.

Qin Yao directly used her previous student card to enter the library at the door, and Xiao Chen didn't know why her student card hadn't been cancelled after leaving the school, but the fact was that she entered easily.

Soon Chen Meng and Yue Ling also followed.

Xiao Chen used the strong concealment technique, and followed closely with Li Gon.

After Li Gon came in, he immediately said to Xiao Chen: "I have been to this library several times before, but I have never found any other ghosts, Qin Yao must be cheating!" ”

Xiao Chen nodded: "I also know that she is cheating." ”

"Then why are you following her?" Li Gon was puzzled: "Is it because of the system on you?" ”

"This is the main quest, if I don't complete it, I'll be transported to the obliteration space, if you can go in with me personally, I don't think you will say such a thing." After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he patted Li Gon on the shoulder again, signaling that he didn't have to worry too much, everything was under Xiao Chen's control.

Xiao Chen's words were half comforting Li Gon, and half of them were also giving himself a shot in the arm.

After Qin Yao came in, he ran straight to the top floor, which was also expected by Xiao Chen, because almost all the energy-related things that had happened in this library so far were on the top floor.

In addition, the top level of students is also the least, because many of the books on the top floor are actually biased towards "extracurricular reading", and people who really want to do "extracurricular activities" rarely come to the library......

But even so, there were still more than a dozen students walking everywhere here, which undoubtedly caused inconvenience to Qin Yao.

Of course, the premise is that Qin Yao really has some kind of "important matter" on his side.

Xiao Chen didn't dare to get too close, he kept observing through the gaps in the books through several rows of bookshelves.

Chen Meng and Yue Ling had been following Qin Yao closely, and Xiao Chen heard Qin Yao tell the two of them that they would start to investigate area by area now.

"What do you mean?" Yue Ling asked a little skeptically, "The scope of the probe is enough to view the entire library, what else is there to investigate?" Are you looking for energy? Can't you just turn on the detector and see it? ”

Xiao Chen was just planning to use energy hiding to hide himself, and he also planned to let Li Gon leave for the time being, so he heard Qin Yao continue: "We don't need a detector, we have to look for ghost traces in this level." ”

"Ghost traces?" Moon Spirit glanced around, "Is there here?" ”

"There is a very powerful energy source hidden in this library, only a ghost can carry such an energy source, and since there is a ghost, it will inevitably leave a ghost trace." Qin Yao said.

"But...... Shouldn't ghost traces be left behind after the ghost dies? Chen Meng asked suspiciously, "According to what you said, this ghost should have disappeared long ago." ”

"Nope." Qin Yao shook his head: "Even if this ghost with powerful energy does not die, it will produce ghost traces in the floor because of the energy released to the surroundings on a regular basis. ”

"And if what you say is true, why haven't I ever found it in the library before?" Chen Meng was still asking.

At the same time, Yue Ling also asked, "That's it!" And why do you have to look for it from the top? ”

"If you think about it, aren't the first few strange things that happened in this library at the top level?" Qin Yao said.

Her words were in line with Xiao Chen's guess just now.

Qin Yao continued: "And the previous ghost traces did not appear, because this ghost was not strong enough at that time, but ...... This ghost is now increasing its energy at an exaggerated rate, and this time we must not only find this ghost, but also find what makes this ghost grow rapidly! Otherwise, once this spectre is fully formed, it will spread out of your school and have a huge and catastrophic impact on the whole society! ”

Xiao Chen saw from the cracks in the book that Chen Meng and Yue Ling showed two completely different expressions.

Chen Meng was frowning and thinking, while Yue Ling was looking at Qin Yao with a nonsensical expression.

Li Gon said beside Xiao Chen: "What she said is the same as the truth...... It made me believe it a little bit......"

Xiao Chen nodded slightly.

At this time, Qin Yao spoke again: "And this ghost ...... I very much doubt that it is Qianqian. ”

After Qin Yao finished saying this, neither Chen Meng nor Qin Yao answered immediately.

Qin Yao continued: "I know that you have also been looking for clues about Qianqian, so ...... That's why we work together. ”

"We were looking for her to help her." Chen Meng said with a serious expression: "And as far as I know, it is unlikely that Qianqian would do such a thing. ”

"Really?" Qin Yao tilted his head and asked, "Could it be ...... Have you seen her? ”

Chen Meng actually nodded.

Yue Ling also said, "So what? ”

"Then I'll have to warn you all the more." Qin Yao said: "After all, ghosts are not living people, and their words and expressions may not be the surface content you see, or even ...... The existence of ghosts cannot be judged by common sense, and the communication between you and Qianqian may not be Qianqian's true thoughts. ”

"You're saying ghosts are cunning, aren't you?" Yue Ling sneered.

"That's pretty much it." Qin Yao nodded.

"You don't have to worry about that, as far as I know, some ghosts are much more reliable than the living." Yue Ling said.

"It seems that you have a good relationship with that Qianqian." Qin Yao frowned and said, "That means you have often been in contact before, right?" Then let me ask you one last question, have you seen this Qianqian recently? ”

After Qin Yao finished asking, Chen Meng and Yue Ling fell silent again.

In fact, neither Chen Meng nor Yue Ling themselves actually communicated with Qianqian, and it was Xiao Chen himself who really communicated with Qianqian.

According to Xiao Chen's own understanding, in fact, what Qin Yao said was right, except for those resentful memories related to Qianqian in the near future, Qianqian has not appeared at all.

In fact, the only real time Xiao Chen had real communication with Qianqian even took place in the obliteration space, and this erasure space was a third plane independent of the reality plane and the ghost plane.

"Haven't seen it, have you?" Qin Yao smiled: "So...... We'd better get started. ”

Chen Meng should have thought of Xiao Chen's task at this time, so he nodded decisively.

Then Qin Yao said to the Moon Spirit again: "I know that you have a set of equipment that specializes in collecting ghost traces, do you have it with you now?" ”

Yue Ling fumbled in his pocket for a while, and then took out the kind of bottle and small sharp knife that Xiao Chen had seen before.

Qin Yao nodded with satisfaction: "If we really find these traces later, I hope you can collect them." ”

"So...... Didn't my grandfather equip you with these devices? Moon Ling asked.

"It seems that you don't know the rarity of these devices yet." Qin Yao said: "The devices we can have now are much lower than yours, our devices can only keep traces for three days at most, and after three days, these ghost traces will automatically disappear from the bottle, while your device can be stored indefinitely." ”

"And who made this device? Can't they make more? Moon Spirit was puzzled.

"I don't know." Qin Yao said: "But what is certain is that this device is now only yours. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder if Moon Spirit's device was also related to his own system!

Xiao Chen's thinking is not unreasonable speculation, but because Yue Ling, like Lu Xiaoxi, was not accepted as his own spirit servant by the spirit servant token, but the spirit servant contract task directly given by the system.

Xiao Chen thought that the spirit servants obtained in this way would definitely have more relevance to the system than other spirit servants forcibly received with spirit servant tokens.

At this time, Qin Yao urged again: "We'd better start acting now, because after the ghost traces appear, if we don't do anything about it, it can only last for a day at most, so every minute is critical now!" Let's start looking at the top floor now, and if the top floor doesn't have one, then look further down! ”

Chen Meng nodded, and then the three girls divided into an area and began to search.

Xiao Chen asked Li Gon to stay on the top floor to monitor, and he himself quickly retreated to the next layer, intending to help find it here, so that he could avoid Qin Yao's sight.

However, as soon as he arrived, he felt the crystal doll in his pocket suddenly get hot!

Attention, this time it's hot, not singing! This shows that it's not because of the resentful memories triggered in the neighborhood, but because there is a Qianqian image about to appear!

Xiao Chen hurriedly looked around, and then saw Qianqian's voice at the end of the wall on the east side of the wall of the next floor, this time she was facing herself, Xiao Chen could see her face very clearly.

The last time Qianqian's image appeared, she didn't cover her face either, Xiao Chen didn't know if it was related to the fact that he had already seen Qianqian's face in the obliteration space before.

What surprised Xiao Chen even more was that this time Qianqian was still waving at him!

Xiao Chen suddenly realized...... This time, Qianqian...... It doesn't seem to be an image yet!

Because although the Qianqian that appeared this time is also nihilistic, it is at least much more real than the previous memory image!

This level of nothingness she has now...... In fact, it is exactly the same as Xiao Chen himself!

Could this be...... A real ghost?

Xiao Chen felt a little incredible, because for such a long time, Xiao Chen had almost instinctively regarded Qianqian as a "creature" that would not appear in the reality plane or the ghost plane.

This is also the first time that Qianqian has really interacted with Xiao Chen in addition to erasing the space.

Xiao Chen was even a little uncomfortable, so much so that at the beginning, he still thought that this was just a "mechanical" action that this image was doing, until Qianqian really opened his mouth and shouted Xiao Chen's name, and he realized that this was the real Qianqian ghost!

"Brother Xiao Chen, come on!" Qianqian shouted.

Except for Xiao Chen, her voice was naturally inaudible to the other students in the floor.

Xiao Chen didn't dare to slack off, although he was extremely shocked in his heart, he still ran over quickly.

Xiao Chen didn't dare to speak loudly, but just suppressed his voice and asked, "You...... Are you Qianqian? ”

Qianqian actually smiled: "We've seen it before, haven't you forgotten?" Or did I save you? ”

"I ......"

"You have a lot of questions, right?" Qianqian interrupted Xiao Chen's words and said: "I have no fewer questions than you, and what you don't understand, I don't know either, so you don't need to ask more, because ...... I don't know. ”

Xiao Chen frowned, feeling that this Qianqian was saying a tongue twister.

"That'...... You can always tell me...... Why can't I be incognito now? Xiao Chen frowned and said, "Many things are extremely inconvenient now. ”

"Really?" Qianqian smiled again: "Then don't you think this is actually a good thing?" ”

"A good thing?" Xiao Chen frowned and said, "I don't think there's any benefit, I can't be invisible now, and I have to deliberately dodge many times." ”

Qianqian shook her head: "Don't you think...... Are you closer to a real person now? ”

"That's also nondescript." Xiao Chen said, "I'm actually dead, but I don't have a way to enjoy the privileges of ghosts. ”

Qianqian let out an "oh", and then said, "If you don't like it, then I'll take it back." ”
