Chapter 62: Too Unreliable
This feeling is different from seeing the hooded man in the group before, if it makes him feel frightened to see another "Jiang Chen", then this face in the photo now only brings him a headache.
After replying to Charlotte with a "thank you", he forwarded the photo to Xia Mai.
That's right, the person in the photo is Chen Qi, if he thinks correctly, it should be Chen Qi himself.
When it comes to this person, his attitude is also very contradictory, on the one hand, because he has read a lot of materials and is not familiar with it, on the other hand, he has never even met in person. Since this identity disguise was decided through Xia Mai, the first reaction was to find her.
Didn't they say that the other party was in retreat or something? Why are they all running all over the streets?
Fortunately, Charlotte found out in time, otherwise if more people saw Chen Qi, she would be exposed sooner or later.
Soon, Xia Mai replied to his message:
Summer Wheat: ???
Summer Wheat: Is this today's photo?
Jiang Chen: Hmm.
Summer Wheat: Wait a minute!!
Jiang Chen: ......
But this waited until the next day.
When I saw Xia Wheat again, it was still in the refining class in the early morning of the next day. Unexpectedly, this always radiant girl followed the team listlessly with two huge black circles under her eyes, her steps dragged, and she was afraid that she would accidentally fall asleep on the ground.
Jiang Chen tried to run beside her and ask about the situation last night, but Xia Mai just waved his hand and motioned to him later with a tired face.
Then, this girl with dark circles with excellent grades very rarely slept on the table all morning.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Chen was even more curious, but if the other party was not in a hurry to talk, it might not be a particularly urgent situation, so he didn't bother the other party to rest.
Thinking of the information about Chen Qi in the previous reading materials, I always felt that this was an unreliable guy somehow.
After class in the morning, the fat man was directly entangled, Jiang Chen was not good at talking to Xia Mai, so he dragged it like this, until the afternoon when he was getting started with elementary spells, he needed to practice in pairs of two, so that he could have the opportunity to get along with the girl alone.
The two of them occupied an open space, and as soon as he stood still, he couldn't wait to ask, "What the hell is going on?"
As soon as the other party heard this question, he let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be a lot of grief in his tone:
"Don't mention it. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the teacher looking towards them, and closed his mouth tightly.
The teacher of the elementary spell course is called Wei Zongxian, because he is only one word different from the famous Wei Zhongxian in history, and the students privately call him "Nine Thousand Years Old".
Nine thousand years old is a very strict teacher for his students, demanding perfection in even the smallest decontamination techniques, and this man is the most impatient for students to turn their heads and ears in his class. Once, Meng Biao secretly played with his mobile phone during class, and when he was caught, he directly called this muscular man to the front of the podium and asked the other party to demonstrate the "solid heart technique" with him.
The so-called solid spell is a spell that allows the other party to speak their hearts, and the more concentrated the caster's spirit, the easier it is to release the spell successfully. It's just that for some reason, this spell is just a demonstration by the teacher, but it does not allow students to try each other, that is, a spell that has no opportunity to practice, only a chance to practice.
But after all, Jiu Qian-seo is a teacher, and his magic attainments are definitely not comparable to those of them children, so naturally he put it on the spot, and immediately asked Meng Biao in class.
The most terrifying thing is that when the person who casts the solid spell wakes up, he doesn't remember what happened at all.
So when Meng Biao stepped down with a bewildered face, he only felt that the whole class looked at him with strange eyes, but he himself couldn't figure out his head.
What he didn't know was that in the short few minutes just now, he told the class very honestly about his vast and compassionate, crazy and lonely first love, and cried like a muscular child.
So now everyone knows that his first love was a scumbag who gave up from the beginning, and he didn't even know why, but since then, his relationship with the girls in the class has improved a lot.
The topic is a bit far away.
In general, Jiu Qian-seoul is a very feared teacher from a certain point of view, if he wasn't really worried about Chen Qi's condition, Jiang Chen would not choose to talk to Xia Mai at such a time.
This lesson is about the ability to shape spells, and to put it bluntly, the fineness of the control of the "spirit".
So the 9,000-year-old gave each student a basin of water and asked the students to work in pairs to make an ice sculpture of another person's head using ice-making techniques.
Xia Mai's fine control over the "spirit" is very good, and he already has an art foundation, so it is not a problem to compare.
So she pretended to look at Jiang Chen's appearance carefully, and looked closer, the water in her hand was flying in the air and changing shape, like a ball of mercury floating in the air, but her mouth was saying something else:
"Yesterday during the day, Chen Qi ran out of his house and couldn't find it. ”
Jiang Chen was very surprised, this was different from the storyline in his impression: "I remember that you didn't say that he was in retreat?"
It is said that the other party entered a secret retreat a month before receiving the admission letter, so he was relieved to disguise the identity of the other party, and he had not been open for a few months on his side, why did he run out, could it be that the retreat of people in the immortal cultivation world was so short?
Sure enough, this guy has a lot of moths!
"Yes. The water in Xia Mai's hand gradually condensed into ice flowers, and slowly took on a round appearance: "Originally, the Chen family didn't mention anything about him running out of the house, if it wasn't for the photo you sent me yesterday, I don't know what's going on." ”
At this time, the nine thousand years old walked up to them, looked at the half-finished product in the girl's hand, and nodded.
Seeing that he was far away, the girl continued: "After receiving the photo yesterday, I immediately asked the elders in the family to ask about the situation, and the other party hesitated for a long time before telling the truth. ”
Jiang Chen also stretched out his hand into the clear water in front of him, and as his "spirit" was injected, the surface of the water rippled in circles.
"Only then did I know that this Chen Qi seemed to have been involved in the incident of the Spiritless. It is said that a police officer went to Chen's house and took Chen Qi away directly. ”
When he heard this, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, if the other party had a criminal record in the police station, and he was taking classes here under his name, it would be easy for someone to see through the disguise, right?
"It's fine. Xia Mai seemed to see what he was thinking in his heart: "I asked a friend to check, this Chen Qi seems to have just been taken for questioning, and he was quickly released, without leaving a record in the public security system, and it was just a paper registration, which can be easily disposed of." ”
Hearing him say this, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. By this time, the water in the girl's hand had completely condensed into a solid state, the shape of a skull, and she was adding bricks and tiles to the skull with the remaining materials, one by one against the muscles and skin.
The ice sculpture distorted with the girl's movements, and somehow, looking at the mottled facial features that couldn't be seen clearly, Jiang Chen only felt that his back was cold, so he quickly looked away and continued to return to the topic:
"How could he have disappeared according to you?"
"You've also seen the information given to you before. The girl said unhurriedly: "Chen Qi's father is a very strict person, and Chen Qi himself has never had any talent in cultivation. ”
Jiang Chen nodded, indicating that he was very clear about this plot, so Xia Mai continued: "Originally, Father Chen didn't have much hope for his cultivation, but who knew that in August, Chen Qi did a spiritual energy test in private, and the value suddenly skyrocketed, Father Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly arranged a retreat. ”
"As you said before, only a few people know about his retreat. Jiang Chen vaguely felt that he had guessed the ending.
"Yes, the sudden surge in ability is easy to make the outside world speculate about the Chen family, Chen's father plans to let him consolidate it seriously, and then announce it to the public, who knows that it was at this time that the police went to Chen's house and brought Chen Qi to assist in the investigation. ”
"So the whole Chen family knows that he is in retreat?"
"Nope. The girl was making an ice eyeball, her nails gently scratching the ice surface, drawing the shape of her pupils: "Chen's father suppressed this matter, but he also learned from the police that in the past, his son had intersected with criminals on the Internet. ”
He suddenly realized, isn't this the same as the parents thought that their children were studying seriously in the room, but when they opened the door, they found that the other party was taking off his pants and staring at the computer wallpaper in a daze...... remembered that Wang Ziteng was chased and beaten by Wang's mother because of this incident, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Then his father must be angry." ”
"Not really. I don't know if it's a hallucination, but I feel that Xia Mai's tone is full of schadenfreude: "After returning from the police station, Chen's father checked his son's mobile phone and found that in the past few months, he has not been in retreat at all, and has basically deserted on the Internet. ”
Jiang Chen couldn't help but slander...... Who told you immortal cultivators to bring mobile phones with you in retreat...... Shouldn't you find a cave without WiFi to drink the wind and food dew when it comes to retreat?
So Chen's father beat Chen Qi and locked him up. Who knows when this person stole the key to the anti-theft window, and actually ran away like this, and then ran away from home!" Xia Mai sighed and sighed: "It is worthy of Chen Qi, he is really a good hand to die." ”
Jiang Chen held his forehead, and sure enough, he was a very unreliable guy, so he asked, "Did you get it back?"
The girl gave him a blank look: "Of course I found it back, otherwise what do you think I went to do all night yesterday!"
It turned out that Xia Mai had gone out to help find Chen Qi all night yesterday, which was also helping him from a certain point of view, so Jiang Chen had to smile bitterly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
At this time, I found that the ice sculpture in the girl's hand had begun to take shape, and it looked like Chen Qi's face, and I couldn't help but sigh at the other party's artistic talent, and turned my head to look at my own works......
Belch...... Just now I was listening to the story, I didn't pay attention to the movements of my hands, only subconsciously kneaded, the water in this basin was pinched into a very strange shape by him, and the sense of despair and wildness revealed by the sculpture was definitely no less than Edvard Munch's "The Scream".
Xia Mai's face was expressionless, and a fire-resisting trick was thrown into his basin, knocking the basin of soul ice sculpture back to its original state.
