Putting down the phone, Xiao Yao got out of bed while coughing, put on his shirt and pants randomly, put on the AJ basketball shoes that Shen Jie bought for him, and went out in a hurry.

When I got downstairs, I found that the bicycle was not there, and after thinking for a while, I realized that I rode to school yesterday, and I walked back with Yu Luying.

Mu Fadu had to run under the morning sun.

When Xiao Yao ran all the way to the gate of St. Francis' Middle School, he was already out of breath.

It seems that there is really a lack of physical exercise in normal times, Xiao Yao thought.

In the morning light, the school gates looked eerie and lifeless.

After running all the way, Xiao Yao also got rid of the nervous state of last night.

His mind was now full of ridiculous conjectures about Shen Jie's concept of "the person who solves the problem of manufacturing".

He regretted his depression last night - if a man is in trouble, he should solve it one by one, whether it is the relationship with Shen Jie or the matter of school.

Xiao Yao faced the gate of the school, took a deep breath, and then turned right and backwards in place.

The Sacred Heart Church was built in 1870 as a chapel for the living needs of the Grape crew and foreign expatriates. It was expanded in 1874 and opened in 1876 after completion, and was named "Sacred Heart Church", which is a Spanish architectural style. During the "Ten Years", the church was demolished, and in 1982, the Diocese of Mordu converted the south side of the old site, the former club auditorium, into the "Sacred Heart Church" and resumed its activities.

For the students of St. Francis of Assisi, the Sacred Heart Church is a commonplace, landmark building, and of course not many people actually set foot in it.

At the door of this small church hangs a string of lantern-shaped plaques, vertical, on which the three big characters "Heaven", "Lord" and "Hall" shine in a very rustic and ugly Lishu font, which is also a bright light in the dark night, that is, there is a strong barbershop style.

I thought that Yu Luying would be waiting for her at the door, but she was not there.

Xiao Yao was already familiar with this place, so he walked in through the side door.

Today is Saturday, and there are many more people in the church than from one to five, and it seems that the mass has just ended, and the crowd is scattering.

Yu Luying seems to have said that Saturday is a day to worship the Virgin Mary? I can't remember.

Xiao Yao looked around, but he didn't see Yu Luying or Shen Jie, and Father Yu was not there, but he seemed to see Zhao Xiaomei.

What's that? Zhao Xiaomei?

Is it her? It shouldn't be her. Isn't she? But it's a bit like that.

What's this guy like, he can't just wait all night downstairs in his house and follow him here, right?

Probably not, otherwise this infatuation is too touching...... Scared?

Well, definitely not, after all, she arrived before me.

Xiao Yao walked quickly towards "Zhao Xiaomei", but the girl's speed was as fast as a ghost, and she disappeared at the door of the hall in the blink of an eye, and she couldn't see it.

The boy returned to the hall in a huff - another acquaintance he must have read correctly: Teacher Yao.

I've heard Shen Jie mention it before, but it seems to be the first time I've seen the current Teacher Yao with my own eyes.

Teacher Yao's eyes were glazed, and he sat in the third row of the holy hall, his big face buried in his broad palm, and his whole person stayed in the shadows.

Sitting beside him was the beautiful former wife, Kang Qianshui.

It seems that she has indeed stayed by the side of this "waste person" without abandoning.

Xiao Yao felt ashamed, and before being seen by them, he went directly to Yu Bo's office on the second floor.

If there is a place in this place suitable for secret conversation, it is there except the confessional.

"No! If you're going, I'm going too! ”

As soon as he walked to the door of the office, Xiao Yao heard Yu Luying's voice through the door.

So you're here.

Mean, where are you going? Who are you? Shen Jie?

Xiao Yao wasn't going to hide here and listen to the wall, he turned the handle and found that it was locked, so he raised his hand and knocked on the office door hard.

There was silence in the office, and then the door opened, and it was Yu Luying who opened the door.

She had big dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well all night, but her face was flushed. Seeing that it was Xiao Yao, she turned sideways and motioned for the young man to enter the house, and then locked the door again.

There were also two people in the room - Yu Bo standing in front of the window, and Shen Jie standing in the center of the room.

Yu Luying inexplicably wore the summer school uniform of St. Francis Assis High School today, and her ankles, wrapped in snow-white cotton socks, were exposed from the trouser legs and the uppers of her sneakers; Shen Jie was wearing the school uniform of a junior high school student in the magic capital, wearing a red scarf, and on the upper of the black and white air-cushioned sneakers, there were pure black short cotton socks, which were as black as the deepest midnight.

Her ankle bones are so round and cute.

Two girls in school uniforms, it's really beautiful.

"What do you mean by someone who solves the problem? I don't agree with you to do stupid things, and I'll do it myself! ”

The girl who looked like a junior high school student raised her eyebrows when she heard Xiao Yao ask, looked at Yu Luying, nodded, and retreated to the other side of the room.

There was a moment of silence in the office.

Yu Bo motioned for several people to sit down, and then broke the silence: "Since Xiao Yao is also here, then let me explain the situation."

"Last night, Ying Ying and Shen Jie contacted me separately and told me about your current predicament."

“…… It's hard for the two of you to bother. Xiao Yao looked at the two girls in school uniforms.

Shen Jie looked away, as if smiling.

Yu Bo continued: "Shen Jie's plan is to go to the shadow world, go and negotiate with your Teacher Song's shadow, see if you can get understanding, I hope I can provide some cooperation." ”

Negotiate? Understanding? Xiao Yao pondered the meaning and weight of these two words in his heart, and then asked Shen Jie, "Why are you hiding this from me?" ”

"Aren't you sick?" Shen Jie's face had a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

“……”

"She knew you wouldn't agree to the plan." Yu Luying said to Xiao Yao.

"Why should I object? It may be a way to talk to Song Haijian from a different angle, but I have actually considered it myself. Xiao Yao was puzzled.

Yu Luying said: "What happens if you can't talk about it?" And Shen Jie plans to go by herself, she and Song Haijian don't know each other, what can they talk about? ”

"Going on your own?" Xiao Yao was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Nonsense, if you have three long and two short, how can I live?" ”

Shen Jie pouted and said, "I didn't plan to go by myself, I just didn't want you to get in the way with me." ”

"What's the matter, with the Fool's fetter power, my current combat power is stronger than yours?"

"Come on, you'll do it." Shen Jie said.

"Shen Jie, you don't plan to just cut off Song Haijian's shadow, right?" Xiao Yao stared at Shen Jie's eyes, and the latter looked away with a weak heart.

A sharp sword piercing his chest appeared in front of Xiao Yao's eyes, as well as Teacher Yao's dull face.

"This is how you are going behind my back, the so-called, to solve the problem makers?"

"I'll try to avoid that happening." Shen Jie stated vaguely.

"This has to be avoided." Yu Bo reminded.

"Last night, I asked Tianyun to check the Internet for half a night," Shen Jie lowered her head and thought for a while, and then changed her words: "This Song Haijian, in 2023, is in Dongru County Senior High School, because of the beating of mandarin ducks, two corpses and three lives." Later, he was retaliated by his family and drove to death. This kind of person is not wronged even if we cut him now, not only can we solve your own problems, but even himself, we can save five lives, this is the way for heaven! ”

When Xiao Yao heard this, his heart trembled: "Is it true?" ”

"It's still cooked!" Shen Jie's eyes widened: "If you don't believe it, go home with me now, and I'll show you Tianyun's mobile phone." ”

"No, no." Yu Bo and Yu Luying both said that for Shen Jie, this level of trust must still exist.

Xiao Yao was shaken, he was almost persuaded by Shen Jie.

The evil things that Song Haijian did made his blood pressure rise, and his mind was now full of thoughts about immediately killing Song Haijian.

But, deep down in his heart, another voice was telling him that it was nothing more than a high-sounding excuse for justice packaged for himself out of personal interests and grievances.

Due to the absence of Teacher Yao, Song Haijian was transferred to work in the magic capital, that is to say, there is a high probability that the incident of forcing people to die in Sujiang in 23 years will not happen again.

Moreover......

Yu Bo spoke leisurely: "Have you seen the movie "Minority Report"? ”

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "I was about to say this too." ”

Yu Luying nodded and said that she had seen it, but Shen Jie was not impressed.

"In the Minority Report," Yu Bo explained to Shen Jie, "murder is gone. The future is predictable, and criminals are punished before they commit their crimes.

"Do you think that's right? Should people be punished for what they have not yet done? Don't you think that's scary? ”

"I ......," Shen Jie said.

Yu Bo continued: "That's all something that didn't happen, can we judge a person now because he will make mistakes in the future?" After the notorious charges of 'unwarranted' and 'will', should we add another 'doomed' to us? ”

"What's that," Xiao Yao weakly raised his right hand: "Seconded." ”

"You seconded the motion," Shen Jie said angrily: "If the future is not counted, can you let go of me now?" ”

"Ah......h

Yu Luying laughed out loud with a "poof", and she quickly covered her mouth.

A smile also hung on the corner of Yu Bo's mouth.

Then, Shen Jie also began to laugh eatingly, Xiao Yao didn't quite understand where the laughter was, but he had to laugh along.

After laughing like this, the solemn atmosphere in the room was much soothed.

"Okay, Xiao Yao, don't seconded this and that double standard here," Shen Jie said softly: "If you have a conscience, go with me, don't make trouble, if you have too much conscience, you should not know anything, follow Yu Luying to make up for a few days, and wait for my news-I don't believe it, how capable is it, can I give you a science church in a few days?" ”

"If I have to go, I'll definitely go with you." Xiao Yao said: "How can you be in danger alone?" ”

"Sister, why do you say that about Xiao Yao?" Yu Luying retorted gently: "He's actually very smart, but he doesn't focus on studying, as long as he ...... hurry."

"Okay, the teacher's words to fool the student's parents are all greeted by me? Are you really me? Shen Jie said with a smile: "There is no question of this grade of summer vacation homework, if you can teach him all in a few days, you don't have to waste your life in high school, I will ask my father for money to open an education and training class for you, and I will ensure that I am more popular than the one in the old East." ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense," Yu Bo clapped his hands: "Speaking of which, your plans should also be discussed and discussed." ”

When Yu Bo said this, he looked at his niece.

“…… I actually have a plan to steal the exam questions from Teacher Song, and then teach Xiao Yao the answers......" Yu Luying said very unconfidently.

"Huh?" Shen Jie looked confused: "Aren't you just suspected of cheating on the exam questions and asked to retake the exam?" Let you steal again? Even if you have the chance, you are really not afraid of being a trap and sending the two of you away together? ”

"Last time, the shadow stole my underwear and framed Xiao Yao, I also want to try it with the help of the shadow world, even if I can't steal it, as long as I can see the exam questions, I should be able to remember it."

“……？” Do you still have this unforgettable talent? How did you not know before?

"I'm on my feet, Yingying's is also an alternative? You can give it a try. Yu Bo propped his hands on the wide desk, stood up and said, "I still have to state first, in principle, I do not support the use of the shadow world to actively interfere with the hearts and free will of others. I made a mistake to help you this time. ”

"Thank you, Father Yu." Xiao Yao and Shen Jie spoke together.

"We are really desperate, but if there is any other way to solve the problem......" Shen Jie added again.

"I will go with you this time, and all actions will be under my command," Yu Bo said: "Our first plan of action is to find the location of the exam question, steal it, or write it down; If it's discovered, it's ...... Find a way to talk to him and see if you can find a peaceful solution to the problem, do you have any objections? ”

This thing is actually the same as the user overlord clause that pops up when you log in to the game, and you only have to agree to it.

So, the three of them nodded yes one after another.

"Then the next topic," Yu Bo sat back behind his desk, crossed his legs, rotated his chair 90 degrees, lit a cigarette, and said in one go, "Look for the entrance to Mr. Song's temple—if he really has one." ”

"Doesn't everyone have a temple?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Generally speaking, only when desires are distorted to a certain extent will there be a palace," Yu Bo explained, "so my plan is to first enter the palace of everyone, that is, the group subconscious, to find the clues of Mr. Song, as well as his examination papers." ”

"Well, let's do it, let's go now." Shen Jie made a gesture of rolling up her sleeves.

"What's the use of going today? He hasn't come up with a good exam yet, has he? Yu Bo rubbed his temples: "The most suitable time is the night before the exam, let's wait a while and then prepare." ”

Shen Jie was a little anxious, the night before the exam, once she couldn't succeed, there was no room for maneuver, but considering that she was begging Yu Bo to do something, she had to keep her mouth shut.

Yu Luying saw what Shen Jie was thinking, and said: "Sister, you have worked so hard in the past two days, you can also take a rest, I will also prepare here, and make up for Xiao Yao's foundation tomorrow, don't read the answer and can't understand it when the time comes." ”

The night before yesterday, you also "worked hard", right? Shen Jie nodded reluctantly.

When Xiao Yao and Shen Jie walked out of the side door of the Sacred Heart Church side by side, the bright and spicy sunlight had already sprinkled the asphalt road, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

And the screams of knowing are particularly irritating.

The heavy rain that had fallen last night was barely visible at this time.

Yu Luying did not go with them, but stayed by her uncle's side, as if she still had something to say.

"Let's go back on a bicycle," Xiao Yao suggested, "My car is still parked in front of the school." ”

"Hmm." Shen Jie didn't seem to be in a very high mood.

Obviously, she cares about herself so much, why did she put on that cold attitude when there were only the two of us?

Xiao Yao tentatively held the girl's hand, and Shen Jie subconsciously pulled it out, but was tightly held in the palm of Xiao Yao's hand.

Shen Jie surrendered - she let the young man pull her and walked to the place where Xiao Yao parked her bicycle.

"Wife." Xiao Yao took out the key and unlocked the bicycle.

......The girl ignored him.

"Thank you, really, I, I'll always remember." Xiao Yao turned around and gently hugged the girl's waist.

"I owe you in my previous life, young master." Shen Jie replied faintly.

Xiao Yao leaned down and pecked the girl's thin lips.

"Tsk, let's go." Shen Jie deliberately wiped her mouth vigorously with the back of her hand to anger him, and jumped on the back seat of Xiao Yao's bicycle, and her two little feet wrapped in pure black cotton socks and sneakers swayed one by one.
