Chapter VI: Homicide
Knock, knock, knock! ββ
At the beginning of the lanterns, Yan Yan knocked on Zhang Jichuan's door: "Teacher Zhang Jichuan, let's go to dinner together, today is the first day for all of us to enter Yujing University." β
Zhang Jichuan opened the door and saw that the other eight intern teachers who had successfully interviewed were there, so he nodded: "Okay, wait a minute." β
He changed into clean clothes and followed everyone out of the school gate.
"I know there's a store that tastes good, but it's a little remote, would you like to give it a try?" Takasuo, dressed in low-key and luxurious clothes, proposed.
"Go!" Someone immediately agreed, "What are you afraid of in the middle of nowhere, we have three transcendent creatures here!" Are you still afraid of danger? β
One by one, the eyes converged on Gao Suo, the blue-eyed and sharp-eared female goblin Mao Rongrong, and Zhou Xinyi, who was wearing a neat adventurer's outfit.
Gao Suo is the proposer, needless to say; Zhou Xinyi was a little taciturn, nodding indifferently; As for Mao Rongrong, he flicked his tail and asked, "Are there any fish?" β
Gausso: "That must have!" β
"Uh-huh, I'm going!" Mao Rongrong's eyes suddenly bloomed with excitement.
So, a group of trainee teachers followed Gao Suo to the store he said.
"It's really remote......"
After passing through an area where the street lights were broken, Yan Yan grabbed the corner of Zhou Xinyi's clothes a little timidly, and looked at the surrounding darkness vigilantly. The location of Yujing University is meant to be quiet, so it is not in the most prosperous area of Yujing, but on the outskirts of Yujing City, and at night there are not many people in addition to students and shops near the school, and there are not many people in the farther places.
The restaurants recommended by Gao Suo really have some characteristics, from the store decoration to the presentation of dishes, there is a sense of design everywhere. As for the taste, it is extraordinary and has a unique flavor.
After three rounds of cooking, an intern teacher suddenly said: "Hey, I really envy Teacher Xinyi, Teacher Rong Rong and Teacher Zhang Jichuan, more than 30 people interviewed together want to enter the Department of Archaeology, only the three of you can get your wish." β
This sentence quickly resonated, and the intern teachers said, "Yes, yes! "I envy the three of you! "The salary of the archaeology department is much higher than ours......"
"In that case...... one of the trainee teachers sitting next to Gao Suo blinked his eyes and proposed, "Why don't you have three teachers for today's meal?" It's also a matter of letting us get wet, right? β
"Yes, yes, yes!" "Teacher Zhou is right! "Three, you have to have this meal today! β
"No...... Not quite right? Yan Yan whispered.
"Alas, Teacher Yan Yan, it's auspicious!" Gao Suo said at the right time, "If I am the one who is selected by the Department of Archaeology, then I will make a decision today, but unfortunately I don't have this opportunity......
After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Jichuan without a trace.
One by one, their eyes focused on Zhang Jichuan, Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong.
"I ......" Zhou Xinyi frowned, showing a hint of embarrassment on her face, "Because of some special reasons, I have never saved much money on my body......"
"I ...... I'm even less rich! Mao Rongrong raised his head buried in the grilled fish, revealing his face stained with oil, and whispered, "I'm a goblin, and I don't have the concept of saving money......
Swish!
All eyes fell on Zhang Jichuan.
Zhang Jichuan secretly pinched his wallet......
"Teacher Zhang Jichuan......" Gao Suo looked at him and said with a smile, "When you come out to eat, how can you make a lady pay?" As the only man to enter the archaeology department, you must not disappoint us, right? β
"Hey, this Gao Suo really holds a grudge against me, this is to make me ugly......" Zhang Jichuan thought helplessly.
He put down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Gao highly recommends this shop, I thought Mr. Gao was going to have a treat, but it turned out that he wanted me to have a treat?" It's okay if you want me to ask for it, but it's just ......."
After a pause, Zhang Jichuan took out his wallet and put it on the table, and said generously: "Teachers, you must be able to see that you have an ordinary family background, and you only have so much money on you, even if you want to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, you can't do anything." So, can this meal be owed first? When the first month's salary is paid, I will definitely make up for it in the next one! β
"Cut!" Teacher Zhou, who was sitting next to Gao Suo, sneered and said disdainfully, "Why are you so arrogant without money?" β
Zhang Jichuan glanced at him and said calmly: "I never hide the fact that I have no money, and I don't feel ashamed of it." However, Mr. Zhou thinks that if you don't have money, you can't be justified, and I don't know if Fu is a teacher at Yujing University? I'll ask the leaders for advice when I go back! β
Teacher Zhou's face changed: "You! β¦β¦β
"Teacher Zhang Jichuan is serious, Teacher Zhou doesn't mean that." Gao Suo hurriedly maintained, he was deeply surprised that Zhang Jichuan would admit that he had no money so openly!
In the past, he used this trick to humiliate many poor ghosts who were against him, so much that he couldn't hold his head up......
"Really? It seems that I misunderstood Mr. Zhou. Okay......" Zhang Jichuan looked at Gao Suo and changed his words, "But next time, I will trouble Mr. Gao to recommend a cost-effective store." Zhang is not as good as Teacher Gao, he has an uncle who is the vice principal, and he has to be careful ......"
"The vice principal is Teacher Gao's uncle?" Except for Yan Yan and Teacher Zhou, the rest of the intern teachers looked at Gao Suo in surprise, their eyes full of meaning......
Gao Suo's face changed slightly, these eyes made him feel uncomfortable, since he was a child, he was most irritable with this gaze, that gaze seemed to say: "It turned out to be a rich second generation, no wonder how he can ...... it"
Gao Suo's voice sank: "Although my uncle is the vice principal, I can pass the interview, and it has nothing to do with him!" β
"What did Mr. Gao say?" Zhang Jichuan's voice was full of surprise, "Of course we believe that Mr. Gao passed the interview with his ability!" There is absolutely no suspicion that Mr. Gao walked through the back door, right? β
There was a chorus of responses at the banquet: "Yes, yes, yes." "How could Mr. Gao go through the back door! "Absolutely impossible! β
The corners of Gao Suo's mouth twitched, and his eyelids trembled: "Thank you...... Thank you. β
"Okay, okay, let's divide this meal evenly today, let's wait for Mr. Zhang Jichuan to pay his salary and treat him." A male teacher played a round game.
"And my ......," Zhou Xinyi said loudly, "I have paid my salary, and I have a treat." β
Mao Rongrong raised his hand: "Me too." β
"Okay, okay." Yan Yan looked expectant, "Then let's wait for a big meal." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the way back to school, I once again passed through a sparsely populated section of the road with destroyed street lights.
The group was divided into several small groups, and it was not as harmonious as when they came.
One of the trainee teachers walking on the side suddenly moved his nose and smelled a faint fishy smell.
He looked at a dead end next to him, his body trembled, and he cried out uncontrollably: "Murder! β
"Huh?"
All the trainee teachers were startled and looked at the dead end, and in an instant, they saw a black figure in a trench coat and hat squatting in the shadow of the wall under the faint starlight, pressing a man to the corner of the wall and biting off his neck!
The eyes of the man who was pressed against the corner widened, and the look of horror froze on his pale face......
As the trainee teachers looked at the shadow, the shadow also turned his head, and most of his face was covered under the mask, leaving only his blood-stained mouth exposed.
Although the people couldn't see his eyes, they felt a gaze cast at them.
Suddenly, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, their scalps tingled, and their hearts were filled with a huge fear, as if they were targeted by some kind of terrifying existence.
"Run!" Zhang Jichuan drank violently.
With the lesson learned in the interview room in the morning, he warned himself that he must react in time when encountering danger.
I didn't expect experience to come in handy so quickly.
The trainee teachers scattered as birds and beasts, spread their legs and ran wildly.
The black shadow got up, and with a flick of his hand, the man who had been drained of blood and his body was shriveled out, like a rag doll.
The black shadow made no sound, and took one step at a time, as if it had the ability to shrink the ground into inches, and chased after it in an instant.
He reached out with one hand, and at that momentβ
Airplanes!
Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong, who were fleeing, turned around decisively, and a black aura condensed by countless runes appeared behind Zhou Xinyi.
"One word: block!"
Zhou Xinyi stretched out three fingers to draw a circle in the void, and then swiped down, and suddenly, a behemoth fell from the sky.
Rumble!
It was a huge steamer, falling in a strong wind, crushing old low walls and separating the crowd from the shadows.
"Ahh βββ
The trainee teacher who was pulled out by Mao Rongrong, who showed his claws, was soaked, and said with the luck of the rest of his life: "Thank you, Teacher Rongrong, Teacher Xinyi, can this extraordinary item stop him?" β
"Run, I can't hold on for long......" Zhou Xinyi said to the trainee teacher, and also to all the people who looked back to observe the situation.
She didn't have time to explain, and directly enveloped everyone with the power of her soul, establishing a soul connection and sharing information about the transcendent item:
"Ever Given, a first-grade transcendent item (up to the second grade), has been bound!
"That year, the freighter blocked the Suez Canal and the main artery of the world economy......
"Extraordinary ability: In one word, it is said: Blockade - summon freighters to block the incoming enemy!
"Negative ability: Economic Loss - All members protected by this item will have money that will be consumed at a certain rate, and the consumption rate will be determined by the level of the transcendent item and the host!"
Everyone subconsciously touched their wallets......
Zhou Xinyi added: "At my current level, I will consume five percent of the money per second. β
"So you can only hold on for twenty seconds? It's past ...... now."
Before Zhang Jichuan finished speaking, he heard a loud noise.
