Chapter 4: Infant Spirits

In the early morning, the sunlight sprinkled on Philip's body made its snow-white fur have a crystal clear feeling, Fang Rui touched its head with some doting, Philip was asleep as always, and recently it seemed to be sleeping longer and longer. After washing, Fang Rui received a call from Bai Jingjing.

"You don't have to go to the bookstore, just go to the detention center with me." Bai Jingjing's angry voice came out of the phone, "Hurry up, I'm already waiting for you downstairs at your house." ”

"Oh, okay, I'll get down right away." Fang Rui hurriedly packed up his things and went downstairs, of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to add water and food to Philip's food bowl.

After getting into Bai Jingjing's car, Fang Rui found that her face was serious, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Shi Shuyuan committed suicide in the detention center last night." Bai Jingjing replied with a calm face.

"Huh?! Committed suicide? How did she kill herself? Fang Rui asked.

"Wrap one leg of your pants around your neck, and the other leg around the window railing, hang yourself." Bai Jingjing was a little annoyed, always feeling that she should have gone to the detention center last night, and she was a step slower.

"But... But the window is not high, how to hang it? Fang Rui continued to ask.

"Just get down on your knees." Bai Jingjing replied.

Fang Rui was stunned, he didn't expect Shi Shuyuan to end her life in this way, in fact, as long as she stood up a little at that time, she wouldn't have hanged herself, how determined was this!

"Then you still go to the detention center? People are dead. Fang Rui asked again.

"Take a look, I don't believe I can't find a flaw, it's not that simple." Bai Jingjing puffed up, and at the same time increased the throttle and galloped towards the detention center.

At this time, in the detention room of Shi Shuyuan in the detention center, Luo Jiayue didn't expect that this time, the people from Inhuman Publishing House would come so quickly...

"It's not that simple, leave it to us." Lin Mo waved his hand to Luo Jiayue, and behind him came a young man with a thin body and a scruffy beard, his eyes were blue, and he seemed to have foreign blood. I saw that he was holding a laptop-sized machine in his left hand, and in his right hand he was holding something like a vacuum cleaner tube and scanning it around the room.

Sweeping the entire room, the blue-eyed man shook his head at Lin Mo and said, "There is no trace of the book of life being polluted." ”

Lin Mo looked around and instructed Luo Jiayue, "Take me to see Shi Shuyuan's corpse!" ”

Luo Jiayue took Lin Mo to the morgue a little helplessly, and when she walked halfway, her mobile phone rang, and then she remembered that she had talked to Bai Jingjing on the phone early in the morning and wanted her to come over to have a look, but she didn't expect that Lin Mo would arrive first with someone when she waited for Bai Jingjing. Luo Jiayue has been dealing with Bai Jingjing for a long time, so he naturally knows that Bai Jingjing does not want to see people from Yiren Publishing House, so he can only quickly hang up the phone and want to contact him later.

Lin Mo had actually caught a glimpse of the name of the caller ID on Luo Jiayue's mobile phone, and after thinking for a while, he said to Luo Jiayue: "Bai Jingjing, is it?" I know, she didn't want to come in here to see you, did she? ”

"Uhh Luo Jiayue didn't know how to answer, but he didn't expect these two groups of people to know each other?

"Let them in!" Lin Mo guessed that Bai Jingjing would inevitably follow Fang Rui behind her.

"Oh... Good... Good. Luo Jiayue nodded, just wanted someone to bring Bai Jingjing in and hesitated for a while or let Lin Mo take Lin Mo to see Shi Shuyuan's corpse first, as for Bai Jingjing, it would be more appropriate to pick it up by herself, after all, Miss Bai's temper is still very big, who knows if she is willing to get together with the Inhuman Publishing House!?

Sure enough, Bai Jingjing rolled her eyes several times when she heard Lin Mo's name, but in order to pursue the truth, Bai Jingjing finally resisted the urge to turn around and leave, after all, it was a direct order from above to investigate these two cases.

After Bai Jingjing and Fang Rui walked into the room where Shi Shuyuan was being held, Bai Jingjing walked around the room several times, and then shook her head helplessly and said to Fang Rui: "There is no trace of the contamination of the book of life, have you found anything?" ”

Fang Rui shook his head, he didn't know what the traces of the pollution of the book of life were, so naturally he couldn't find anything. Luo Jiayue had no choice but to take them to see Shi Shuyuan's corpse, when he walked out of the room, Fang Rui felt that there seemed to be a trace of sweet taste in his nose, rubbing his nose, Fang Rui felt that it was probably because he didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he felt that there would be the aroma of bread in this kind of place.

Walking into the morgue, Fang Rui found that Lin Mo was still the same, with a ponytail tied high behind his head, a crisp and decent black suit and pants, and his eyebrows always looked preoccupied. Next to her stood a bearded mixed-race man, holding a mobile phone-like device in his hand, and shining a picture of Shi Shuyuan's corpse from beginning to end.

Bai Jingjing stepped forward without saying a word and touched Shi Shuyuan's head, all the way to her stomach, before saying: "The book of life has gone to the underworld, but there are no signs of being polluted before, and there is no trace of overprinting." ”

"Overprint? What do you mean? Fang Rui asked.

"It's the so-called ghost upper body of your human beings, and some of the remaining marks of the life book after the death of some living beings will be attached to the life book of other lives, resulting in two kinds of destiny handwriting on a life book, which means overprinting." Bai Jingjing replied.

"It's true that there are no overprints." The mixed-race man beside Lin Mo put away the instrument and reported to Lin Mo.

"Let's go, there's nothing, it looks like it's really suicidal." Bai Jingjing didn't seem to want to stay with Lin Mo more, so she turned around and left, not forgetting to drag Fang Rui out as soon as she grabbed her.

Seeing Bai Jingjing and Fang Rui coming in in a hurry, and leaving like another gust of wind, Lin Mo still looked down at the corpse expressionlessly, but the mixed-race man couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are they from the bookstore?" The woman doesn't look human, the man should be human. ”

"Well, the man is human." Lin Mo nodded.

"I've never seen a human working in a bookstore, he looks ordinary!" The mixed-race man couldn't help but complain.

Lin Mo smiled and didn't answer, there is nothing wrong with being ordinary。。。。。。。。

Bai Jingjing didn't speak on the way back to the bookstore with Fang Rui, Fang Rui felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and naturally he didn't dare to speak out. It wasn't until Bai Jingjing drove to a stop on a road near the bookstore that Fang Rui asked, "Isn't the bookstore still in front?" ”

"I didn't eat breakfast early in the morning, can't I buy some bread?" Bai Jingjing glared at Fang Rui, and the person she met at Inhuman Publishing House early in the morning made her feel very unlucky, and decided to turn her anger into appetite and eat a few more breads to make up for it.

Fang Rui was mentioned by Bai Jingjing like this, and he suddenly felt that his stomach was growling with hunger. There was a bakery on the side of the road, and soon after it opened in the morning, many people lined up for the smell of freshly baked bread.

Bai Jingjing and Fang Rui came to the end of the team, Bai Jingjing took out her mobile phone and headphones from her bag and began to watch Korean dramas. Fang Rui looked at the young mother pushing a stroller in front of him, and a little girl about five or six years old was standing beside her. It should be the mother who brought her two children to buy bread, and the little girl seemed to be a little sleepy and stood there a little shaky, and her head was drooping. The mother kept swiping her mobile phone, and the baby in the stroller was sleeping soundly. In front of these three mothers and daughters are three middle-aged aunts, gathered together and chattering about what dishes to buy in the vegetable market and what dishes to cook at night. There is a lot of traffic on the road, and the sound of passers-by talking, everything seems to be a normal morning. Fang Rui was in a trance and even forgot that Bai Jingjing, who was standing next to him, was actually a white bone spirit, and he had just returned from the morgue in the detention center. It wasn't until Fang Rui inadvertently lowered his head that he caught a glimpse of the little girl's face that had raised her head slightly, without any facial features, only pale skin and blue-black blood vessels under the skin. The girl turned her face to Fang Rui, and suddenly a hole opened on her face, which had no facial features, until it reached her ears, revealing the thin rows of fangs inside.

Fang Rui was so frightened that he just wanted to open his mouth to call when he felt his arm being pinched heavily by Bai Jingjing beside him, and the cry for help that had reached his throat was forcibly stifled back.

The girl turned her head around, and the three aunts in front of her just bowed their heads, and immediately smiled and said to the girl: "Yo, what a beautiful little girl, she looks so much like your mother!" ”

The girl's mother put down the phone with a smile and said, "Auntie, you are too awarded, my family is very spiritual!" ”

Seeing the girl's mother chatting with the aunts, Fang Rui's eyes were about to fall out, what was going on? Could it be that the scene just now was just dazzling to myself? Fang Rui leaned out a little to see the face of the little girl with his back to him, although he only saw the side face, but it was indeed the same ghost as just now, and the whole face was a cracked mouth.

Fang Rui immediately retracted his body, Bai Jingjing put her mobile phone in front of him, and there was a line of words on the screen: It is the spirit of the infant spirit, and ordinary people can't see it. Babies should be in the stroller.

After Bai Jingjing showed the phone to Fang Rui, she shook her head slightly at Fang Rui, Fang Rui could only control his mouth that wanted to scream, and silently took a step back. Although he still couldn't figure out what the infant spirit was, that ghost look already made Fang Rui feel very uncomfortable.

Bai Jingjing used the mobile phone to type quickly for a while, and then handed the mobile phone to Fang Rui, and the screen read: The infant spirit is a means of prolonging the life of the baby who was given a secret method before it was close to death, mainly so that the baby could continue to survive. However, the key to its continued survival is the spirit of the infant spirit, which is not a living entity, but only an energy. The spirit feeds on the flesh and blood of the caster, and if it survives, the baby can live.
