"It's nothing..."Ji Chen shook his head, perfunctory to the mayor, there are some things, it's better not to let him know.

The mayor nodded, Ji Chen didn't want to say it, and he couldn't help it.

"It's getting late... The girls are asleep, so I'll send you back now. The mayor proposed.

"Hmm. Ji Chen also has this intention.

Ji Chen first transferred Ji Sheng into the car, and then sat on it himself, he held Ji Sheng's head, not wanting Ji Sheng to sleep uncomfortably in the car.

After Ji Chen had done everything, he asked with a straight face: "Can the other four corpses that were brought back by the parents be recovered?

The mayor shook his head when he heard this, and said helplessly: "It's difficult... Those parents won't let us dig up their kids... And some may have been cremated..."

"Probably not. Ji Chen denied the mayor's statement.

"You should try to find the four bodies first, those four bodies are also very important, and the four bodies in the morgue, so that the people in the hospital should not move again. What corpses do we need. Ji Chen commanded lightly, he was also tired, and after speaking, he felt that his tone was a little wrong, it was not the tone of talking to the elders.

Ji Chen was busy apologizing to the mayor again: "I'm sorry, mayor, I was so tired just now... I don't even pay attention to my tone when I speak..."

The mayor listened to Ji Chen's sudden apology, and laughed heartily twice, he naturally wouldn't be as familiar with Ji Chen, a child, but he was also happy to see that Ji Chen was so polite.

"It's okay, you look tired, go back and rest today. The mayor stood in the perspective of the elders and admonished Ji Chen.

"Hmm. Ji Chen nodded and closed his eyes.

"I just studied those runes for a while, and I felt so tired, but Ji Sheng was cracking this formation... She must have been more tired. Ji Chen sighed in his heart.

...

After a night's rest, Ji Chen woke up early in the morning, but Ji Sheng was still sleeping in the room, Ji Chen waited for more than an hour, and before Ji Sheng woke up, he went to the supermarket by himself, bought a pack of quick-frozen dumplings and concentrated broth, and came back.

Ji Chen sat on the sofa alone and watched TV.

At twelve o'clock, Ji Chen noticed that Ji Sheng's door was open, he hurriedly stepped forward, and asked with an anxious face: "Ji Sheng, how is your body?

Ji Sheng rubbed her misty sleepy eyes, she was obviously still a little sluggish.

Seeing her like this, Ji Chen hurriedly said, "Do you want to go to sleep again?" ”

Ji Chen said, and then approached Ji Sheng again, ready to pick her up and send her back to the bed.

"Hmm. Ji Sheng pushed away Ji Chen's hand, shook his head, and said in a daze: "No need... Yesterday's mental exertion was too severe... No matter how long you sleep, you wake up like this..."

"Are you hungry? I'll cook for you. Ji Chen was courteous to Ji Sheng.

"Uh-huh. Ji Sheng nodded cutely, answered, and then walked towards the bathroom.

Ji Chen looked at Ji Sheng's back, with a smile on his face, and walked towards the kitchen.

Ji Chen originally wanted to buy dumpling buns by himself... However, he felt that his hands were not skillful enough, and he was afraid that the package would not be good, so he had no choice but to buy quick-frozen dumplings in the supermarket.

"Anyway, it's about the same..."Ji Chen shook his head and began to prepare the broth.

This concentrated broth still looks very good, and soon after it is put into the pot, it is full of aroma.

Stir-fry the vegetables in the broth until fragrant, add the seasonings, add water, and the noodle soup is ready in a short time.

Ji Chen was not idle, boiled a pot of water, unpacked the quick-frozen dumplings, threw the dumplings in, he began to arrange the bowls, took out two large bowls from the cupboard, and put the noodle soup that had been prepared before into the bowl, and after the dumplings were fully cooked, Ji Chen fished out the dumplings and put them in two bowls, and the two bowls of fragrant dumplings came out of the pot.

Ji Chen walked towards the living room and called out cordially: "Ji Sheng, let's eat." ”

"Uh-huh. Are you done?" Ji Sheng smelled the aroma, saliva kept swallowing, listening to Ji Chen call her, she suddenly couldn't help it, put on small slippers, and followed Ji Chen to the kitchen.

Ji Chen and Ji Sheng sat opposite each other and ate dumplings.

While eating, Ji Sheng's brows furrowed from time to time, as if he was worried about something.

Ji Chen smiled bitterly, thinking that Ji Sheng was annoying him, so he took the bowl and stood up, planning to eat in another place.

Ji Sheng saw Ji Chen standing up with the bowl, and couldn't help but wonder, "What are you going to do?"

"I see you think I'm sitting here, a little irritated... I'm going to go to the living room for a bite to eat. ”

Ji Sheng frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who do you think of me as? The two of us have sat down and eaten together for so long, when have I ever annoyed you?"

"I... Didn't I get in the way of you yesterday?I think you were angry because of yesterday's incident..."Ji Chen remembered Ji Sheng's angry yelling at him last night, and asked him to be quiet, so he felt bored, that was the first time he was yelled at by Ji Sheng like this.

"I'm not annoying you. Ji Sheng shook his head and said, "Sit back, I was thinking about yesterday's formation, and I think it's too weird..."

"Oh. Ji Sheng, who Ji Chen listened to, was annoying him, and suddenly his face was happy, and he was happy, and he hurriedly sat back with the bowl.

"Yesterday's formation, did you think it was too weird because it was going to self-destruct?" Ji Chen asked cautiously.

"No, I think that formation is used to confuse us..."Ji Sheng shook his head.

"Isn't he supposed to be trying to get a message for us?" Ji Chen was surprised.

"Do you remember when we broke up yesterday?"

"Hmm. Ji Chen nodded and said, "But we failed to break the formation, that's because we don't have those eight corpses, so it's normal for this formation to self-destruct, right?"

Ji Sheng said something that shocked Ji Chen: "In fact, even if we collect those eight corpses, there is only one way to fail. ”

"Why?" Ji Chen raised his eyebrows.

"The eight corpses left at the scene are placed in the eight directions of the gossip, and there are two yin and yang fish in the gossip... So even if these eight bodies are recovered... We only have eight key fragments, and we still have two key fragments to be found..."

"Then we'll continue to look for the two remaining fragments. Ji Chen was puzzled.

Ji Sheng patiently explained to Ji Chen: "Those two fragments, we don't have any clues at all, we sent the mayor to look for them, and the mayor only found these files, I believe that many years ago, when these bodies were first discovered, the mayor must have looked for the middle-aged man... And the mayor would have told us yesterday if they had found clues, and the mayor didn't tell us these clues yesterday, which proves that they didn't find anything about the middle-aged man back then...

And yesterday's formation was not simply self-destructive... At the time it was trying to blow itself up... That huge force, if it succeeds in blowing itself up, the two of us will die without a place to be buried!"

Hearing this, Ji Chen's face suddenly turned pale, and he was stunned and said, "You mean... That formation is actually a bait... It's waiting for someone to bite the bait... Then kill the bait!"

"But Shuramen, why did they make such a bait? Who are they guarding against? Could it be that there are still people in the core of the living world who are not good for them? Why did they come down from the periphery of the living world in the first place? They are stationed here just for this seal? They don't even care about the war on the periphery of the living world? They are all in the stage of severing the inheritance, why don't they contact the heavenly court?" Ji Chen is full of doubts, and now he takes this opportunity to say it all, wanting to solve this doubt with Ji Sheng.

"Could it be that there is an inner ghost in the Middle Heavenly Court!" Ji Chen's heart suddenly appeared with such a thought that made him shudder.

"Aren't all the monks in the living realm forbidden in their bodies? how can there be inner ghosts!" he roared in his heart.
