Chapter 2: Raid in the middle of the night
Chuanquan City, eastern suburbs, a hotel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I saw that this was an ordinary single room, and the small table in the middle of the room was full of leftover instant noodle boxes. The bedding on the bed was piled up in a mess, and it was clear that the owner was in a hurry before leaving.
The thick floor-to-ceiling curtains were closed, and the whole room looked very gloomy and dim.
It was sunset, and I saw a ray of sunset afterglow, shining into the room through the gap in the curtains, drawing a dazzling light mark on the bed.
"Zi, Zi......"
With a shrill sound, the lights in the room began to flicker and flicker, and after a while, a miserable green light came out of the lamp tube, instantly enveloping the entire room.
"Smack!"
With a soft sound, I saw two figures, one black and one white, suddenly appear in the room.
And the black figure just landed on the bed, and I saw the afterglow of the setting sun crossing the black shadow's legs, and bursts of black smoke came out in an instant.
"Wow-wow! Burn me! Burn me! Anzi, close the curtains!"
As soon as Fan Tianjiu saw the black smoke rising from the sun shining on his legs, he immediately screamed in pain, and hurriedly rolled into the shadows beside the bed, grinning and shouting to Si Bi'an.
Si Bi'an was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly stood up from the ground and tightened the curtains, until he was sure that there was no trace of sunlight coming in, then he turned his head to look at Fan Tianjiu and sighed:
"Alas~ Brother Jiu, didn't Sister Lan say it, let's come back after sunset, but you want to come over right away, look! How dangerous! I almost died in the sun!"
"Oops...... How can a beautiful woman sit idly by if she is in trouble?! If you come early, you will take the initiative more......"
Fan Tianjiu grinned and rubbed his sunburned feet and neck, then stood up and looked around the room, frowning at Si Bi'an and said:
"Anzi, is the location that Ji Damei said is here?"
"Well, that's right, it's ...... here"
Si Bi'an looked at Xingluo in his hand and replied.
"What about her?"
Fan Tianjiu then wondered.
"Well...... this"
"Sand ......"
Just as the two were talking, they saw that the TV at the head of the bed suddenly lit up, which startled the two of them.
The two turned their heads to look at the TV, and after a snowflake, they saw a dry well suddenly appear on the screen, and a woman in white with long hair and a shawl stood by the well. Long hair shawl, covering the face.
After a while, I saw the woman in white tremble and slowly walked towards the screen.
"I'll wipe it!"
As soon as he saw this scene, Fan Tianjiu's heart suddenly trembled, he screamed, and picked up the mourning stick with his backhand and nervously blocked it in front of his chest.
I saw the woman in white slowly come to the screen and kneel down, stretching out a miserable white arm from the screen to support the ground, and then, I saw the woman in white screaming while slowly crawling out of the TV.
Fan Tianjiu...... Spian ......"
"I, I'm rubbing! big, bold Sadako...... Dare to ambush this ghost envoy here! Don't, don't dare to come near again! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will beat you!"
Looking at this familiar horror scene, Fan Tianjiu trembled his legs and said in a trembling voice.
"Sadako, who's Sadako?"
As he was talking, he saw that the white-clothed female ghost suddenly raised her head, and a bloodless, but beautiful face appeared in front of the two.
"Huh, Brother Jiu, she seems to be Sister Lan?"
Si Bi'an looked at the female ghost's face and was suddenly surprised.
"Ah, is it?"
Fan Tianjiu also looked down at the woman when he heard this, and was immediately shocked:
"I'll go! It's really her! Quick, pull her out!"
After speaking, Fan Tianjiu and Si Bi'an immediately stepped forward and dragged Ji Xuelan out of the TV and helped her sit on the bed.
"Beauty, why did you crawl out of the TV? And your pale face...... What the hell is going on?"
Fan Tianjiu poured a glass of water and handed it to Ji Xuelan as he frowned and asked.
"Alas...... It's all because I've been in the sun for too long......"
Ji Xuelan took the glass of water and took a sip, her eyebrows stretched out slightly, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two:
"Whew...... Didn't I tell you before, that our ghosts can't stay in the yang world for too long, otherwise the yang energy will enter the body and burn our souls.
But in order to track down the whereabouts of the "Artifact List" and the "Divine Beast List", I have been in the yang world for more than half a month.
Just before you came, I was so uncomfortable that I performed the 'Channeling' technique, and went back to the underworld through the TV screen to rest for a while. β
"Brother Jiu, take a closer look, isn't the well in this TV the one in our yard......?"
Looking at the familiar scenery on the screen, Si Bi'an nodded.
"Whew...... Yes, whether it is a mirror, glass, water, or a TV screen, as long as it can reflect the image of our ghosts, you can open the passage to the underworld by casting the 'Ghost Technique', but it takes a bit of aura to use this magical power......"
Ji Xuelan explained while panting.
"Well, I see, I thought the midnight mirror would only reflect our ghosts.
This trick is much more convenient than the 'Return to the Soul Talisman', and that thing has to go back to the same place where it came to be used, and when I go back, I must learn this trick from Teacher Zi......"
After Fan Tianjiu finished speaking, he turned his head and found that Ji Xuelan, who was sitting on the bed, had a pale face and looked weak, so he frowned and said:
"Beauty, you see you're tired and out of shape, why don't you go back to school to rest first, and our brothers will take over this side of the matter. β
"Yes, Sister Lan, you see that you are tired and have dark circles under your eyes, go back and rest!
Si Bi'an next to him said distressed when he heard this.
"Ahem, ahem, I thought so too, that's why I contacted Sister Youyi and asked you two to come and help me, come, I'll keep you informed of the progress of the case......"
As she spoke, she saw Ji Xuelan sit up stiffly, took out a laptop from under the bed and put it on the table in front of her, and said to the two in a deep voice:
β...... Half a month ago, I came to the Yang Realm with a photo of the secret meeting between the Big-bellied Fairy and the Rama Demon Monk, and handed it over to the comrades of the Trickster Team to help investigate their whereabouts.
As a result, they identified the forest where the two murderers met in the photo, which was the Xisha Forest in the eastern suburbs of Chuanquan City.
So we reviewed the surveillance video around Xisha Forest for the recent period, and found that in the past two weeks, there have been several strange attacks in Xisha Forest......"
"How weird is the weird attack?"
Fan Tianjiu was puzzled when he heard this.
"It's weird! I'm going to show you a video......"
Speaking of this, I saw Ji Xuelan open the laptop with her hand, and then, a black and white video appeared on the computer screen-
The picture shows a dimly lit woodside path, and a girl is walking through it with a bag on her shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a round thing suddenly fall from the sky and fall behind the girl, and he raised his hand and fired a shot at the girl with something, sending out bursts of white smoke.
After the girl was injured and fell to the ground, I saw that the round monster opened its bloody mouth and seemed to laugh a few times, and then took off into the air and flew high into the air.
As it swiped across the camera, Ji Xuelan pressed the pause button. I saw a black figure with a large round body but short limbs left in the middle of the screen.
"It's this monster...... Although I couldn't see its specific appearance, I searched all the gods and demons, and I couldn't find out which kind of monster had such a fat gourd-like strange body shape, and the comrades of the trickster team couldn't tell the difference after identifying it for a long time......"
Ji Xuelan looked at the black shadow on the screen and frowned.
"Well, yes, but why do I think this monster looks so familiar?"
Fan Tianjiu put his head in front of the screen as he spoke, squinting his eyes and carefully looking at the monster on the screen-
The monster's head and body were almost the same size, in the shape of a round ball, but its limbs were unusually short, and it had a propeller-like thing on its head.
Looking at it, Fan Tianjiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise:
"I'm rubbing-!This can't be a blue fat man, is it?!"
"Blue Fat Man?
Ji Xuelan was puzzled when she heard this.
"Fat Blue is a robot cat, have you heard of it?"
Fan Tianjiu turned his head to Ji Xuelan and asked.
Ji Xuelan shook her head in confusion when she heard this.
"What about Tinker Bell and Doraemon?
Fan Tianjiu then asked.
"I don't know ......"
Ji Xuelan still shook her head, frowned and wondered:
β...... Are these three people a criminal gang as you are talking about?"
"I'm talking about one of themβ!"
Fan Tianjiu couldn't help but roar excitedly, and then patted his head with his hand and lamented:
"Oh my God, how long have you been dead?! I haven't even watched "Robot Cat"......"
"Sister Lan, the robot cat is the protagonist of a comic, not a real person or demon......"
Si Bi'an interjected at this time to explain.
"Comics?Is it the kind of villain book that children read?...... it's weird."
As she spoke, Ji Xuelan picked up a document from the table and said to the two:
β...... The second case occurred last Tuesday and was victimized by a female editor named Chen Qing.
According to Chen Qing's own account, when she was riding a bicycle home in the evening, she was attacked by a shirtless teenager wearing blue armor.
Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, the green-armored young man suddenly jumped out of the bushes beside the road, yelled at her, and suddenly sent out a light fist that seriously injured her in an instant, and then disappeared......
"Boy in cyan armor? Wait a minute......"
Hearing this, I saw Fan Tianjiu's eyes roll, frowning and wondering:
"Beauty, if I'm not mistaken, isn't that the phrase that the armored boy shouted when he launched his attack - 'Pegasus Meteor Fist'?"
"No, no, according to the girl's recollection, what did the boy shout when he hit him......"
Ji Xuelan flipped through the transcript and looked at it, frowned and said:
β...... Lu, Lushan Shenglongba?!"
"Aha! By the way, I forgot, it's Zilong who likes to fight bare-chested......"
Fan Tianjiu suddenly realized when he heard this.
"What? Is this murderer a character from the villain book?"
Ji Xuelan looked at Fan Tianjiu and said suspiciously.
"Well, that's right. β
Fan Tianjiu nodded.
"Then this purple dragon is in the same group as the robot cat just now?"
Ji Xuelan frowned and wondered.
"This ...... Hehe, sort of, both of them are hardcore celebrities in the comic industry......"
Fan Tianjiu smiled slightly, and then asked Ji Xuelan:
"Is there anything else? This case is really more interesting the more I listen to it......
"And last night, when I was ambushed in the Xisha Forest to catch the murderer.
As a result, I met a monster with two horns on its head, a bare body, and a fire-breathing monster under its feet, which looked like a child, and he wanted to attack a girl, but I rushed out to stop it, but he ran away because of his lack of physical strength. β
Ji Xuelan explained while reminiscing.
"Well, you have two horns on your head, and you can breathe fire under your feet and beat shirtless children......"
Fan Tianjiu muttered while taking out his mobile phone and typing a few words, and then, I saw a picture appear on the mobile phone, Fan Tianjiu put this picture in front of Ji Xuelan, and said with a smile:
"Look, isn't this kid?"
Ji Xuelan looked at it when she heard this, and immediately raised her eyebrows, and said:
"Yes, it's him, who is he?"
"Hehe, his name is Astro Boy......"
Fan Tianjiu turned off his phone and smiled.
"Is it another character from a villain book?"
Ji Xuelan was puzzled when she heard this.
"Well, that's right, Sister Lan......"
Si Bi'an nodded when he heard this, and then asked Fan Tianjiu:
"Brother Jiu, what the hell is going on? How can the characters in this comic book run out and attack people? This is too weird, isn't it?!"
"Hmph, do you still need to ask? It must be the ghost of the big-bellied fairy again......"
Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu turn his head and ask Ji Xuelan:
"Beauty, is there any artifact recorded in the "Artifact List" that can bring things back to life from paintings?"
Ji Xuelan shook her head when she heard this, and said helplessly:
"Alas~ I don't know much about this, Jiang Ziya's "Four Lists of Gods" were scattered in the Three Realms after the War of Humans and Gods......
Among them, the "Immortal List", which can control the gods of the Nine Heavens, is in the hands of the highest authority in the Netherworld, the Human Executive Committee.
The "Divine Magic List", which recorded various magical powers, was later adapted into a supernatural textbook and distributed to impermanence colleges and universities across the country, and the original version was collected by the Yama Society.
Only the reproduction of this "Artifact List" and "Divine Beast List" has been scattered outside, and at present, our school has seen these two lists, only Mr. Guigu Gong.
Therefore, if you want to know if there is really such an artifact that can bring the person in the painting to life, you have to go back to the school and consult with Mr. Guitani......"
"Oh, I see, Sister Lan, since that's the case, I don't think we're as good as ...... Sister Lan, your face is bleeding!"
"What is the situation?!"
Fan Tianjiu looked up when he heard this, and saw that at some point, red blood slowly flowed out from Ji Xuelan's eyes, nose, corners of mouth, ears and other seven orifices, and the appearance was really terrifying.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's not blood, it's a miasma, I'm probably too tired......"
Ji Xuelan said as she picked up a tissue and wiped her face, and sure enough, as soon as the tissue touched the red liquid, it was immediately corroded.
"Alright, beauty, don't talk about it! Go back to school and rest! If you continue like this, you'll be gone, and we'll leave the rest to our brothers." β
Fan Tianjiu said and hurriedly reached out and clasped the notebook in front of Ji Xuelan.
"But this case is about the Big-Bellied Fairy, can you two do it alone?"
Ji Xuelan hesitated when she heard this.
"Why not? It's not like our brothers haven't fought demons and monsters.
Besides, beauty, you don't know anything about anime, and you can't help staying here, so let's go back and rest......"
"Yes, yes, Sister Lan, go back quickly, our brothers are very distressed by the way you look!"
Hearing this, Si Bi'an hurriedly stood up and helped Ji Xuelan up with Fan Tianjiu.
"In that case, I'll trouble you both......"
Ji Xuelan walked to the TV weakly, then turned around, handed a stack of documents in her hand to Fan Tianjiu, and instructed:
"This is the information of the three victim girls, you can open it and look for it, see if they have anything in common, in addition, the land here is called 'Qian Sanliang', if you don't understand anything during the investigation, you can invite him out to ask, and get it for you, this is 'Please Immortal Fu'......"
As she spoke, Ji Xuelan handed Fan Tianjiu a few yellow talismans with words written on them, but he didn't expect to be rejected by him.
"No need, beauty, we have learned to 'please immortal'......"
"Oh, yes? Hehe, it's progressing fast...... Ahem, okay, then I'll go back and rest first, and by the way, go to Guigu Gong to consult about the artifact, if you two encounter any danger, remember to contact me in time, I will come to support you immediately, you know?"
"Got it, got it, go back and rest......"
Fan Tianjiu helped Ji Xuelan to the TV as he spoke, then frowned, and said to her:
"By the way, beauty, can you not suddenly crawl out of the TV in white clothes next time?"
"Oh? Why?"
Ji Xuelan was puzzled when she heard this.
"Because it's scary...... Very, very scary. β
Fan Tianjiu looked at the TV and said with palpitations.
"What a strange phobia......"
Ji Xuelan looked at Fan Tianjiu and muttered inexplicably, then shrugged her shoulders, smiled at the two of them, and said:
"Ahem, ahem, in that case, then please two of you, when you're done, I'll invite you to dinner......"
Speaking of this, I saw Ji Xuelan frowning, and said with both hands:
"Nine Shades Practice Qi! Variety of Magical Powers - Passage of Darkness!"
"Sha-!"
As soon as Ji Xuelan's voice fell, she saw a snowflake light up again on the TV behind her, and then, I saw Ji Xuelan take two steps back, turn around and get into the TV, and disappear into the screen......
"I'm rubbing, although it's not climbing in, but this trick still looks terrifying......"
Looking at the TV in front of him, Fan Tianjiu said with palpitations.
"Brother Jiu! The sun has set!"
At this moment, I saw Si Bi'an walk to the window and open the curtain, turn around and say to Fan Tianjiu.
Fan Tianjiu looked back at the window, only to see the sunset outside the window, the new moon rising, and the street lamps all over the city lit up the entire Chuanquan City, echoing with the stars in the sky, gorgeous and abnormal.
Seeing this situation, Fan Tianjiu opened the information in his hand and looked at it, then patted the folder and said with a smile:
"I'll talk after sunset, brother, let's get to work!"
