Chapter 93: Broken Appointment
On the second day, I waited in the store all day, but I never waited for Ai Tingting.
I couldn't help but call her to ask why she didn't come, and she said that she had changed classes today, so she couldn't come at the promised time.
I was a little worried about what would happen if it dragged on for a long time, so I said to Ai Tingting on the phone: "At 12 o'clock tonight, if you don't come, I will pick you up in person." ”
"Hmmm......"
Then I hung up.
But I always feel that Ai Tingting seems to be pretending to be in her heart, she is no longer as close to me as before, and even seems to be a little evasive from me.
Could it be that what Fan Xueqi said last night took effect? Scared Ai Tingting?
Heh, if that's really the case, I should really kill Fan Xueqi.
*
As night fell, it was past the end of the contract, and Ai Tingting never appeared in my store, so I don't think she would come.
If she really wanted to come, she would have come a long time ago.
I knew it wasn't going to end so easily.
The insect never told Ai Tingting who "she" was, and what kind of unfulfilled wishes "she" had that Ai Tingting needed to complete, and even, in the past two days, she has also been involved in the relationship between Ai Tingting and Song Jinqiu, which has made things more complicated, and I can't understand the relationship between them more and more.
Wouldn't it be too rash to end like this?
Although it is my duty to collect souls, I have also been in contact with Ai Tingting for a while, so that I have changed from a "customer service staff" to a "loyal audience".
But what can be done then?
What needs to be done still has to be done.
I walked into the wind chime room, bowed to the portrait of the grandfather, and begged the grandfather to bless the soul collection tonight, and then I took out a small key from the crack of the scroll and opened the mahogany box on the table.
There was a soul bell inside.
The difference between this soul bell and all the soul bells hanging in the room now is that there is a piece of paper hanging under it with two lines of words written on it: Tang Guilan, (2017.1.12-4.12).
This is the soul bell of the bug.
I finally learned the name of the bug, and it was really a woman's name.
The tattooed ghosts will leave the soul bells they used to live in, so I will lock the empty soul bells in a small box and wait for the day when the contract expires to take them out again and summon them.
No matter if the ghost has been out there enough and doesn't want to come back, I can finally use this soul bell to summon "ta" back.
*
But I didn't go to NN University to find Ai Tingting right away, in order to respect the deceased, we usually choose to act at midnight, and I certainly won't break this rule.
So I've been waiting in the store for midnight to come.
At about 10 o'clock, Fan Xueqi called me and asked me if Ai Tingting had finished removing the spirit?
I mean, of course, no.
She was surprised: "What? Tingting didn't look for you? So where did she go?
I said coldly, "I should go to find her brother." ”
"What is she looking for her brother for?"
"Don't ask." I whispered, after all, this is a private matter between Ai Tingting and Song Jinqiu, and the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
But it's strange, why does the bug keep making them have the same dream? And it's that kind of dream, and after that kind of dream, the relationship between the two siblings has changed. Don't bugs know that such things are unethical?
Don't...... Ai Tingting and Song Jinqiu are not sisters and brothers?
Fan Xueqi: "Uncle Xiao, if that ghost can't be sent away in time, what will happen if she stays on Tingting's body?" ”
"What do you say?"
"It won't be like my sister, will it?" She screamed!
Very good, girl, you have a big brain, and it is estimated that you have made up all kinds of terrifying pictures in your brain, and you are very pleased with the teacher.
"No, no, no!" Fan Xueqi said anxiously on the other side of the phone: "I can't let Tingting fall to my sister's fate!" That's really miserable! Uncle Xiao, you ...... Why aren't you in a hurry? Didn't you work to get the tattoo away on the end of the contract? Now that Tingting didn't go to your store to find you to send her soul, aren't you in a hurry to find her? What if something happens to her? ”
"Don't worry, no matter how long 'she' wants to hide from me, I have a way to find her." I said slowly.
Fan Xueqi was anxious: "Then you don't want to find someone?!" ”
Me: "Shhh ”
Fan Xueqi was puzzled: "What time?" ”
Me: "Didn't your master tell you that at midnight it was time for us sorcerers in the yang world to make an appointment with the ghosts of the underworld?" There is a saying in the world that 'the dead are greater', and in order to show our respect for the dead, we generally do not attack them at other times until midnight, when the yin qi is at its highest, and then we fight with them. It's not time yet, and it's not convenient for me to make a move. ”
Fan Xueqi: "Do you have to wait until after 12 o'clock before you make a move?" But after 12 o'clock, Tingting went back to the dormitory, do you want to break into our girls' dormitory at night? ”
I smiled, "So what kind of nightdress are you going to wear to welcome me?" ”
"Uncle Shi, you ......!" She seemed to be shy, changed her words, and said, "I won't tell you, I'll go find Tingting now." Really, she's a little weird today, she shouldn't be called a person, I thought nothing would happen, but now it seems that she has long been possessed by that female ghost! I thought she would go to you on her own after school, but I didn't expect that she hadn't gone to you after so long! It must be the female ghost who is doing it! I don't know what she's trying to do! ”
After saying that, she hung up the phone in a panic.
I took off my phone and looked at the time, there were still dozens of minutes to go, and I still had to wait for time.
Fan Xueqi said two things wrong, first, Zishi started at 11 o'clock in the evening, and I didn't need to wait until 12 o'clock to find Ai Tingting; Second, I have the bug's soul bell in my hand, so I don't need to enter the girls' dormitory to call the bugs out.
I, Wu Shen, am still a serious man.
*
It didn't take long for Fan Xueqi to call me, but her voice was very low and low, as if she was afraid that the people around her would hear it, and listening to her background sound, it seemed to be on the bus.
"Uncle Shi, we're on our way to your tattoo parlor right now!" She whispered.
I was a little surprised, because I thought that Ai Tingting would not take the initiative to come to me today, but now she is coming with Fan Xueqi? And that's not a long time difference!
Why did you come here?
Fan Xueqi whispered to me: "Uncle Shi, you are right, Tingting is really with her brother!" I went to her brother and I found her, you know what they were doing when I found them? ”
"Uh, not interested."
Fan Xueqi was embarrassed: "Uncle Xiaoshi, don't you have any curiosity at all?" ”
"But you're gossiping, aren't you?" I'm helpless, in fact, since I guessed that Ai Tingting went to find Song Jinqiu, what would they do when they were together, I also guessed in my heart. I don't have that hobby of inquiring about other people*, so of course I won't ask any more.
I was more concerned: "Xueqi, when you saw Ai Tingting and Song Jinqiu together, according to your judgment, did Ai Tingting have her own consciousness at that time?" ”
Fan Xueqi hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems that there is, and she looks very sober now!" But...... But in the afternoon, Tingting was weird, not like she was sober. Isn't that weird? If it was the ghost that possessed Tingting's body and asked her to find her brother, why was Tingting awake when I found Tingting? What the hell is that ghost trying to do? ”
"'She'...... may be trying to match Ai Tingting and Song Jinqiu. ”
"Are they really brothers and sisters?"
"This ......" Fan Xueqi hesitated: "I don't know what you say." I've never heard Tingting mention that she has a younger brother before, but she suddenly appeared in the past two days. ”
"Maybe they're not really brothers and sisters."
"Then I'm relieved!" Fan Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief!
"Give me a call when you're almost there."
"Good!"
I hung up.
If they weren't really siblings, I probably knew who the bugs were......
