Chapter 12: Greeting the Half-Immortals
10 a.m. the next day. Yungang University West District, Academic Affairs Building, President's Office.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the office door.
"Enter."
A young man in a blue suit opened the door with a nervous expression, looked around the office, and after making sure that there were no outsiders, he brought the door to a middle-aged man with a beard and whispered:
"Principal, Du Sheng sent a message from there, and someone died in the student dormitory in the East District... They guess it might have something to do with psionics..."
"Oh?!" The middle-aged man put down the newspaper in his hand, frowned and said, "What about the corpse?" ”
"The corpse has been controlled by our people." The blue suit responded.
The middle-aged man scratched the beard on his face, made a clattering sound, and after thinking for a few seconds, asked, "So does the psionic group know about this?" ”
"I'm not sure, should we inform them?"
"No!" The middle-aged man known as the president directly vetoed it, and then said: "The big and small matters of Yungang University are handled by our affairs group and the psionic group, but we and the psionic group have always been politically inconsistent, and they are freaks with great ambitions, and their leaders have always wanted to compete with me for the position of president, and they also privately renamed the psionic group IPS, obviously wanting to separate out for another purpose!" The less messages you can give them, the better! Besides, if the people you planted there know anything going on, report it to me right away! ”
"Yes, I know" Lan Suit was about to get up and leave, but remembered something, so he bent down again and put it in the principal's ear and said: "Another more puzzling thing is that the scene of the crime is a girls' dormitory, but after the incident last night, there was a male student inside... This student is from Du Sheng's class, I think this thing is very strange! ”
The principal raised his head and asked suspiciously, "So has Du Sheng's investigation been clear?" ”
"Ahh He didn't elaborate on it just now, and I don't know..."
The principal's expression relaxed after hearing this, "This matter is irrelevant, college students will inevitably sneak in in the middle of the night to fool around." Go ahead, focus on the psionic side. ”
"Oh... Good. The blue suit walked out of the office and gently closed the door, leaving the principal alone in the office. He stared at a picture on his desk and thought for a long time.
The photo shows a handsome and tough man, and it can be seen that this is a single photo of the principal when he was young. At that time, he did not have a full beard, standing tall with his trouser pocket, and wearing a jade pendant around his neck.
That jade pendant was exactly the same as the one Li Xumu lost when he was a child.
At this time, the dormitory for freshmen in the East Side.
Li Xumu rubbed his temples and sat at the table on the windowsill, still recalling what happened last night and what Leng Jue said.
Dunzi was shirtless, patted the fat on his belly, and leaned next to Li Xumu with a smile and said, "Hehe, I heard that you broke into the girls' dormitory last night?" I'm so impressed with you! What's going on? Is it a hundred claws looking through the telescope and scratching your heart and can't help it? ”
Li Xumu angrily poked his chest with his elbow, and he didn't want to waste energy explaining to others what happened last night. Ma Pole was still asleep in bed, and Jia Shengtao didn't know where to go early in the morning.
In the morning, Zhang Xiaochai made a phone call to inquire about the situation, and he was very worried when he heard the tone, and he didn't sleep well at night, and now he is estimated to be making up for sleep after reporting his safety.
At this time, Han Wei's phone called.
Li Xumu picked up the phone tiredly. "Hello?"
"Wood! I remember what I told you yesterday! I contacted Xu Banxian in the morning, and they are free to help us today, I am already on the way to Jumen Town, and we have made an appointment to meet there. It's almost lunch time, so I'll invite the half-immortal to have a meal, and I'll be there at about 1 o'clock. The teaching area in the southern area is close to the university gate, so let's do the exorcism in the teaching building! I finally invited someone over, so..."
"So I'm going to have the money ready, right?" Li Xumu had a headache.
"Hmm... Not... This is not the main thing....I mean you get to the teaching building to greet Xu Banxian at 1 o'clock! ”
"Alright, I got it." Li Xumu recalled the corpse of the dormitory manager who died violently, and at this moment he really hoped that Xu Banxian could suppress Zhao Qian's ghost, and if he succeeded, then the money would not be unjustly spent.
He took out a new set of clothes from the locker and put them on his body, and accidentally saw the folded map again, and hesitated for a moment to put it in his trouser pocket in case he needed it.
At this moment, Han Wei had already arrived at Jumen Town. After a night of rain, there was still a slight drizzle the next day, and after getting out of the car, Han Wei was wearing a short sleeve, and the delicate light rain made him shiver, and rubbed his arms with both hands.
As agreed, they will meet at a tavern called Yixiang in Jumen Town. On the small streets of the ancient road, a number of pedestrians hold umbrellas and walk around.
There are many small shops on the side of the street, selling some local specialty snacks. There are also some handmade handicrafts hanging outside the shop, which is very characteristic of wood carvings. Some pedestrians who looked like college students walked in groups, hot food in their hands, eating and walking. After all, Jumen Town is the closest shopping spot to Yungang University, and it is the beginning of the school season, and some students often gather here to play.
Han Wei stood at the door of Yixiang Bar, looking up at the wooden signboard. The sign is a few years old, and the rain-soaked wooden structure is a little dark.
The tavern is full of the smell of rotten wood, the decoration is also very retro, the entrance is directly opposite a wooden bar, an old man is looking at the ledger on the counter, behind him is a stack of jars of wine, covered with red lids, bursts of wine fragrance wafted out.
There were not many people in the tavern, and the square tables were set up in the hall, and small wooden stools were arranged around it. There were only two tables in the room drinking. At one of the tables were two local youths, with a plate of vegetables and peanuts on the table, drinking wine to themselves. At the other table, there was a single person, who looked to be in his 60s, with a white beard on his chin. Wearing a pale yellow long-sleeved clothing, similar to the clothes worn by the old man when he was doing Tai Chi, he looked like a fairy wind and bones.
Han Wei recognized that person was Xu Banxian at a glance, and immediately greeted him with a smile. "Oops! Half-immortal, you're here! Won't you have to wait? ”
But Xu Banxian ignored Han Wei, who was sitting beside him, and still sat upright, looking straight ahead without squinting. Han Wei saw that Xu Banxian didn't speak, and immediately farted and said, "Oops! The half-immortal really lives up to its name! This momentum is like a surging river, it is simply impressed, look at your immortal spirit, like an eagle on a lonely peak, proud of the crowd, only me..."
"Tell me about the situation." Xu Banxian took a sip of the wine cup and interrupted Han Wei.
"Oh! Hehe! That's right, it's not a trivial matter! I wouldn't have dared to invite you over! Then you're famous! This time, I mainly want to ask you to submit a female ghost! ”
Xu Banxian stroked his beard after hearing this, and his eyes were slightly closed. "Detailed instructions."
Han Wei saw that Xu Banxian looked confident, and his heart was even more confident, and he hurriedly responded: "This female ghost was originally a student at a university near here, but she died for some reason!" Legend has it that he hanged himself, and my buddies and I even bumped into this ghost! That's really fierce! Just want to break open our door and kill people! But we guess she was killed! ”
Xu Banxian's expression did not change after hearing this, nor did he say anything, but his fingers were secretly calculating something. Seeing all this, Han Wei guessed what he might be calculating, so he didn't speak, just stared at him quietly and waited for a response.
"There are 72 types of ghosts. The female ghost is a kind of extreme yin among the ghosts, not to mention being hanged, and you don't know whether it was suicide or homicide. If you see the entity of a ghost, it means that it is very fierce. I'm afraid it's more difficult to do. Xu Banxian was meaningful and closed his eyes.
Han Wei saw that Xu Banxian's gesture was a bit like the action of picking money, and suddenly realized, and immediately took out 1,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it over. "Half Immortal, you see that I am a poor student, and now I only have so much money on me, take it first! When I get to school, my buddy still has it! When the time comes, it won't be enough for him to make up for it! If you can suppress this female ghost at school and stop bothering my brothers, he will give you more money! ”
Xu Banxian narrowed a slit with one eye, glanced at the money on the table, and then closed his eyelids again and said, "Don't worry." You take the money and prepare something first. It's difficult, but it's not impossible. ”
