What's wrong with stealing some of your yang energy!

Bai Ling had a bad feeling.

His intuition has always come suddenly, this may be a talent, or it may be the sensitive foresight of the spirit body, before the big event comes, it seems to be restless, and it seems to sink his mind into cold water, heavy and cold.

Sure enough, when the remaining two girls woke up, they all looked dazed and at a loss.

Under the guidance of Xie Chongsen's "word spirit", the two talked about what happened to them in their dreams.

It is true that they are fans of Zhitianyu, but they are still reasonable, but they just spent a lot of money on magazines, albums, endorsement items, etc.They would not have come for such a high scalper price like the meeting, but for some reason, as if they were being manipulated, they spent a heart-wrenching amount of money, turned down their work and studies, and came to Nanyuntai city.

They said that they couldn't remember the past day, and everything happened in a dream.

In the dream, an unknown consciousness manipulated them to do a series of unimaginable things, such as buying two barrels of gasoline, sneaking into the venue in the middle of the night, and nailing the cross under the stage.

At the end of a girl's speech, she trembled all over and was terrified. That was the idol she had chased for a long time, and she was almost killed by her own hands! ——Even if she wasn't an idol, but an ordinary person, she couldn't believe that she almost committed a murder.

The other girl couldn't help shaking her head, begging in pain to go home, to get out of here: what kind of stars are you chasing after, don't chase after your life, I'm afraid that if you think of the three words Zhitianyu in the future, you will be terrified and unbearable.

The reaction of these two people does not seem to be fake, it is the reaction of ordinary people after experiencing weird things.

Xie Chongsen asked some more questions, such as who he thought was harming them and whether there was anyone suspicious, but both of them asked three questions.

The girl with glasses shuddered at the end and said uncertainly, "Xiaomi, how did we meet?"

The girl called Xiaomi was taken aback. She was stunned for a long time before she looked at the girl with glasses: "Yes, how did you meet? Yes... What's your name?"

The more Xiaomi thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help trembling all over her body: "My memory has been tampered with! I don't want to think about it, but I have a lot of weird memories. I don't know her at all. Before I came to the meeting , we are still strangers!"

Bai Ling quickly comforted the two terrified girls: "Don't worry, you are safe now. Let's recall together, what have you been in contact with?"

In the end, the focus turned out to be on a Taobao store.

A week ago, on a second-hand trading website, someone sold Zhitianyu's autographed photo for a high price.

Before Zhitianyu participated in the talent show, he was a member of the underground group "ACTING!", and the garbage company took over a lot of low-end jobs and circulated a lot of autographed photos.

After the two girls saw it, they felt that the price was expensive but only one person sold it in the entire trading network, so they bought it cruelly.

As he said that, Xiaomi tremblingly took out his wallet from his jacket pocket, took out the excellent plastic-enclosed photos kept in the small bag, and handed it to Bai Ling.

It is indeed a photo of Zhitianyu before his debut. His face is still young and his makeup is relatively old, but Zhitianyu shook his head excitedly: "This is not my signature. I don't write like this!"

As he said that, in order to prove himself, he took out the marker pen he carried with him in his coat and wrote his own name for comparison.

The name on the photo is artistic, but Zhitianyu's is a pleasing italic script of a good student, which is really different.

The faces of the two girls were very different, Zhi Tianyu felt that this was too much of a damn thing, the fake signature could not be wiped off, so he blacked out the fake signature with two irritated strokes, leaving only his own on it.

He didn't dare to look into the eyes of the two fans, and said nonchalantly: "...Sorry, it's all my fault for causing you trouble. If you still want my autograph, this is for you."

The two girls looked at each other hesitantly, but they didn't dare to take the evil autographed photo.

Zhitianyu's expression darkened.He couldn't help but give a low wry smile, that's right, who would dare to ask for it?Such a terrible situation was all caused by him, and he was still delusional that fans could continue to like him?

Humans are fickle creatures.

Rationally speaking, when faced with Maslow's five layers of self-needs, if the low-level needs of life safety cannot be resolved, all levels higher than life safety will be like a mirage and disappear in an instant.

Bai Ling couldn't stand it anymore.

Just now, under the dazzling spotlight, Zhitianyu was attracting everyone's attention and calling the wind and rain. Standing on the workbench on the second floor, he couldn't help yearning for him, thinking that Zhitianyu was really powerful.

But after a farce, the two girls who claimed to be fans didn't even dare to take autographed photos.

Bai Ling couldn't help but snatched the signed photo with one hand, which really shocked Zhi Tianyu.

"You, what are you doing!"

Bai Ling stared at him domineeringly: "What's the matter, if you rob it, you will rob it, and you still want to resist?"

Zhi Tianyu shrank his shoulders: "No, it's fine, you can take it."

Bai Ling glanced at the two girls again, he could understand that the girls' choices were right, but he felt that Zhi Tianyu was a bit pitiful, so he coughed lightly in disguise: "Anyway, this autographed photo is evidence, maybe we can find out Clue... If you still want it, Miss, let him get you a new one."

This is a step down, the two girls said yes one after another, but everyone can see that they can't avoid the three words "Zhitianyu".

The girls didn't seem to be able to ask too many questions. Sister She called the police to take someone to take notes. The girls were uneasy. Sister She comforted them. big problem.

When Xiaomi walked out of the gymnasium under the surveillance of the police, he suddenly remembered something.She turned her head and ran over, hesitatingly speaking to the person who seemed to be the most talkative among the pedestrians, Bai Ling said: "I am the administrator of the Zhitianyu fan group. Above me... is the fan group administrator management group." The leader of the group, she has a management system. The one who spends the most money in the list, or wins the lottery, will be given a special gift sponsored by the official."

Saying that, Xiaomi took out a small hexagonal prism glass bottle from his wallet, which was as crystal clear as blood-red liquid.This should be a pendant, Xiaomi is reluctant to carry it, and has been treasured in the middle of the wallet.

"Crimson is the cheering color of Zhitianyu," she explained, "This is the New Year's ceremony this year. It is said that the perfume that the chief fan went to the eminent monk to pray for consecration. Everyone has a name."

Bai Ling took it carefully, and gently unscrewed the stopper of the glass bead, and a strong fragrance wafted out. It was a bit sandalwood, but when he smelled it carefully, the strong fragrance tried his best to cover up, and there seemed to be a fishy smell.

Xiaomi smiled embarrassedly: "I've been thinking about something suspicious, but I really can't think of it. It's best to help you."

As she said that, her eyes stayed on the small bottle that was still stained with body temperature for the last second, and then she left.

Bai Ling couldn't stand it anymore: "Well, if there is no harm after the investigation, it will be returned to you. You can leave me a contact information."

But Xiaomi shook his head lightly: "No need. I may not be so sincerely obsessed with someone again for a long time to come."

It was already too late today, and according to Sister She's violent temper, she wanted to notify the police on the spot to seal off Qinghe Girls High School.But Xie Chongsen rejected this proposal, so as not to startle the snake.

As expected, Zhitianyu's manager and assistant disappeared with the nanny car. Zhitianyu didn't dare to go anywhere at the moment, and Sister She deliberately didn't let him go, so she and Xie Chongsen arranged for him to stay in the same hotel , One is safety, and the other is monitoring the next move.

After three hours of roller coaster ride, Zhitianyu was in a very bad spirit.

Even after he heard that the manager and assistant who had taken care of him and got along with him as warmly and harmoniously as family in the past disappeared, he didn't have much emotional ups and downs. He just lowered his eyes and swirled on the small bottle of amber perfume.

"You said... Is my support planned from the very beginning, a pawn in this conspiracy?"

Bai Ling looked at him in a blink of an eye, Zhi Tianyu was staring blankly at the passing street lights outside the car window, his voice was light and floating.

"Then what am I? A bait? An introduction? Or the most luxurious chess piece?"

In chess, the queen with the strongest ability and the highest status sits at the end of the chessboard, indifferently watching the pawns in front of her sacrifice their lives for them, fighting for the territory until the opponent's territory is destroyed, or the moment when the enemy's warriors come—but no matter how high the status is, Transcendence is just a pawn.

Zhitianyu saw the cold light of the hidden weapon stabbed by the enemy soldiers.

Bai Ling didn't know how to answer him.He can only say: "The tragedy of the chess pieces is that they cannot see themselves on the chessboard, and can only fight against the same puppet chess pieces. And if they want to get rid of control, they can only try to transcend the dimensions of the chessboard... This is something that can’t be helped. There are too many things that can’t be helped in the world.”

Zhitianyu's voice was slightly hoarse: "So, can we just bear it in silence?"

"No," Bai Ling shook his head, "We will try to make chess pieces that go beyond the board. Even if the probability is only [-]% or even lower."

He looked at Shangzhi Tianyu with broken eyes, and asked resolutely: "When you play card games, don't you want to draw SSR cards because the drop rate of SSR cards is only 1%?"

Zhi Tianyu shook his head sadly: "But life is not a game..."

"Really? Isn't it? You have already lost." Bai Ling said, "It was a complete defeat. You have nothing now. So what are you still afraid of? No matter whether you can find the murderer behind it, you can't go back Those were the glamorous days."

You're already that lone king.

Zhi Tianyu thought, then the rest of my life's luck was spent on meeting you?

Xie Chongsen's big hand gently held the kid's beside him, and the hand that was unnaturally propped on the seat was already shaking.

The cold little hand subconsciously tried to break free, and then fell into the warmth.

Xie Chongsen met Bai Ling's sad eyes reflected in the car window, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to have supper?"

Bai Ling smiled: "Eat."

At 7:[-] the next day, the group arrived at Qinghe Girls High School just as the morning light shone on the top of the flag pole.

As if expecting them to come, they could see the Youth League teacher waiting at the school gate wiping cold sweat from a distance.

He walked towards him quickly, and seemed to want to say something, but Xie Chongsen gave him an expressionless stare, and made no sound.

Sister She went back to her hometown to investigate Gui Haijing. Zhitianyu's identity was inconvenient to go out, so she used her relationship to investigate the manager and assistant. Only Xie Chongsen and Bai Ling came to the school.

Bai Linghu pretended to be Huwei with a "hum", and cut straight to the point: "One of your students is named Hu Tianle, we want to interview her."

The teacher of the youth league committee can understand the situation clearly, and he didn't just refuse to resist.After a real investigation, the person in charge of the entire school cannot get rid of the responsibility. Since they lined up to block the door, they have already tacitly accepted that they have the upper hand.

Strange to say, it is now 7:16, 6 minutes before self-study, but some students are wandering back and forth on the playground.Bai Ling originally thought that they were on duty, but after careful observation, they were like a patrol car that had been arranged on a track, and they only walked back and forth in a specific order.

He pulled Xie Chongsen's sleeve in a low voice and told him that Xie Chongsen said that these students, like the fans in the gymnasium, were probably being manipulated mentally.

The Youth League Committee teacher brought Hu Tianle.

It's still that beautiful girl, but unfortunately she was born with triangular eyes, which makes people subconsciously feel uncomfortable when looking at people.Bai Ling greeted her with a smiling face, but she responded politely and distantly.

...It seems to be different from what I saw that day?

Bai Ling wanted to send the Youth League teacher away, but he followed him with a shy face. Xie Chongsen changed the subject and lured the Youth League teacher away. The Youth League teacher thought that Xie Chongsen was the leader of the relationship between the two, hesitated for a while, and followed Xie Chongsen away.

Seeing a tall and a cowering figure disappear into the office building, Bai Ling turned his head to look at the girl, feeling a little guilty: "After you were taken away that day, nothing happened, right?"

"……what are you saying?"

Suddenly a gust of cold morning wind blew up, and the red leaves of the sycamore tree hit Bai Ling's face head-on, making him tremble unexpectedly.

Bai Ling thought that Hu Tianle was still afraid of the "patrolling" people on the playground, so he gritted his teeth and dragged Hu Tianle to the main classroom building, straight into the corner of the dark stairs where he hid that day.

After finally stopping, the thin girl resisted for a while, shook off Bai Ling's hand, stepped back and moved to the wall, her triangular eyes were full of guard and strangeness.

Bai Ling stared at Hu Tianle in disbelief, that's right, it was her, with the same height and face.He murmured, "Have you forgotten?"

Hu Tianle just stared at him vigilantly, without saying a word.

That face actually coincided with the dead silent face in the impression that cast eyes from the classroom window.

Bai Ling didn't give up: "Think about it! That day you told me many unreasonable places in the school, and then you were discovered by the dean, and he took you back! Damn, he must have brainwashed you and mentally manipulated you. !"

The more he talked, the more sad he felt, and he always felt that it was his fault, but Hu Tianle's familiar thin figure always made him feel that the girl was still the one who dared to tell the truth, so he couldn't help but step forward to grab her hand.

Then he noticed where there was a sense of contradiction.

The faint smell on Hu Tianle's body disappeared.That smell wasn't blood or fishy, ​​it was just very pungent, with a putrid smell that creatures subconsciously disliked, replaced by the fresh smell of laundry detergent.

Seeing the boy who called her over for no reason froze, Hu Tianle frowned impatiently, and glanced at the rising Chen Hui: "I said, what do you want to ask? I belong to the student union, and I have always followed the rules. I have never been called by the dean . If you have nothing else to do, I will go back to self-study."

She waited carefully for Bai Ling for a while, and seeing that Bai Ling opened his mouth and couldn't speak, she turned around and left without thinking.

Bai Ling suddenly realized something, hurried to catch up with the girl who was walking very fast, and asked loudly, "Do you think the school's management method is reasonable?"

Hu Tianle stopped in his tracks.

She showed a clear expression, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, maybe she took Bai Ling as someone from the Education Bureau to investigate "quality education".

She said softly: "Why is it unreasonable? Don't other schools have our management style?"

This sentence has a slight sense of complaint, but it does not contain any hope. It is just a statement of the situation and the reality of powerlessness.

With blue and black eyes, he turned to Bai Ling quietly: "Teachers always say that studying well is for our own future. Why don't we know it? But we don't know whether there is any other way, will it be Optimal solution."

"That was not what I meant……"

Hu Tianle shook his head: "I'm going back to study. My monthly exam results are not good, and I can't miss classes anymore."

Bai Ling chased after a few more steps, and a voice in his heart told him that things should not be like this.

Hu Tianle saw that he was chasing hard, and finally stopped again, and said seriously: "Everyone is on the same starting line, and it is impossible to say who benefits and who suffers... The things you are resisting now may not be the best for you. Those who really benefited always ate up the fruits of victory and hid behind their backs and laughed; those who did not benefit, seeing hope, might be able to linger on and deceive themselves. Who's happier with Hillary? You can't."

"This is all nonsense..." Bai Ling shook his head sadly, "A bird that has never seen the sky outside is always comforting its cubs. Life in a cage is the best."

"So, how can a house sparrow's baby survive if it is released into the wild?"

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment: "After all... there is a way."

"This is an endless loop," Hu Tianle said softly, "When you have parents who are house sparrows, it also determines the future of your house sparrow identity. It is really too difficult to get out of the cage."

Hu Tianle's figure had left for a few minutes, but Bai Ling couldn't recover for a long time.

He turned his head, and the girls who cast their gazes from the window immediately put away their curious eyes and returned to their textbooks.The teacher in the classroom stared at him unkindly, as if to say, "Come on, don't let our students continue to be distracted."

Just like an old bird in a cage, it is using silent resistance to drive away the birds that bring fresh temptations outside the cage.

Bai Ling plucked up his courage and walked into the classroom, showing the ID that Xie Chongsen had prepared for him.He coughed lightly, and amidst the noisy discussions in the classroom, he asked a strange question: "What do you think about chasing stars?"

This question exploded, and the whispers in the classroom turned into loud discussions. The teacher slapped the table angrily: "Quiet!"

Bai Ling randomly selected people from the front row.

A girl with clever eyes got up and replied: "Star chasing is very irrational. Are you here to inquire about the previous crash case? They are so stupid. Chasing stars at a young age will only delay themselves. Why don't you have a job and income? Future Are you sure about chasing stars?"

Her deskmate immediately retorted: "It's perfectly fine to treat star chasing as entertainment, but you can't put the cart before the horse."

The girls talked to each other, and seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Bai Ling hurriedly asked the next question: "Have you ever voted for Zhitianyu?"

The answer is, no.

Firstly, Qinghe Girls High School forbids carrying mobile phones, which were confiscated on the spot; secondly, the Zhitianyu fan support group is notorious in the school, and the popularity of passers-by is extremely poor, and they will not vote for Zhitianyu.

This answer was very different from the survey's "the whole school voted for Zhitianyu", and Bai Ling left thoughtfully.

Before Xie Chongsen came back, Bai Ling casually sat on a step out of sight of the classroom and thought.

He can be sure that the teachers and students he comes into contact with during the day are not the same group of people as at night.

I don't know if the school got rid of the mental manipulation after learning about the incident, or did the mental manipulation only happen at night?

Wait... The crash happened during the daytime. If the school can carry out mind control during the daytime, why did such an incident happen?Wouldn't it attract the attention of the police and celestial masters and increase the risk of exposure?

In other words, the girls who fell to their deaths were actually a group of students who woke up and realized that they were being manipulated, trying to attract the attention of the outside world?

Hu Tianle said that day that she was not from the student union, but from the Zhitianyu fan support club, and wanted to be free.

Today's Hu Tianle said that she belongs to the student union, she thinks the education system is not bad, and she is willing to curl up in an iron cage.

Thinking about it now, Hu Tianle's words were full of hints from beginning to end.

Bai Ling ran to the office building.

I don't know when the sky darkened, and the clear and light morning glow was instantly covered by the blood-colored thick clouds.The crimson cloud is like the twilight of the doomsday, shrouding everything in unnamed hopelessness and desolation.

Wisps of red threads pulled up in the air, intertwined, spread, and became foggy. Bai Ling coughed uncontrollably, coughing up a trace of blood-stained saliva unsurprisingly.

This is because the people behind the scenes are in a hurry.

Bai Ling covered his mouth with a scarf, and rushed up the stairs in two steps in three steps. The first floor, the second floor, the third floor... This is here!

The bloody smell, so strong that it almost turned into substance, bloomed from the office at the end like an explosion of fireworks.

Bai Ling rushed forward and opened the anti-theft door, and the ten times stronger smell of blood hit his head and face.

He had been prepared for a long time, closed his eyes and held his breath, and rushed in. In the middle of the red mist, Xie Chongsen was fighting with something he couldn't see clearly.

Bai Ling has read many novels, and knows that at this time, the protagonist cannot be disturbed from fighting.He looked around in a panic, and caught a glimpse of a potted plant in the corner of Scarlet Room's office.

That potted plant is really strange, a huge antique tall flower pot with a single dead branch stuck in the center.No, it's not a dead branch, it looks like a pine tree that hasn't sprouted?

Xie Chongsen noticed that Bai Ling entered the room, and he struggled to fight, so he also managed to growl: "Go! Don't come here!"

Bai Ling shook his head, following his subconscious movements, he rushed towards the pine branch.

With a "click", the pine branch broke easily.The cracking sound was as crisp as an animal's bone, and in the next second, the section of the pine branch broke, and a drop of thick blood slowly gushed out.

The alarm bells rang in Bai Ling's heart, he suddenly lowered his body, and with a loud "boom", a foreign object as thick as a giant's black hairy hand slammed hard on the filing cabinet by the wall!

The metal cabinet was smashed by the two-meter-diameter hand, and the glass burst and the metal was dented.The place where he was hit was covered with disgusting black hair and blood. Bai Ling ran towards Xie Chongsen without stopping.

There is no monster of such a huge size in the room. This giant hand seems to be an extraterrestrial hand extending from the other side of the earth, from the fourth dimension, and disappears without a trace after a single blow.

He was very frightened, terribly frightened, afraid that his head would burst like a metal cabinet, but as long as he saw Xie Chongsen's figure, his blood was rushing, he calmed down.

Xie Chongsen didn't say much, he hugged Bai Ling and rolled over, and when he got out of the office, he heard a heart-piercing roar, neighing continuously in the thick blood mist in the office.

Xie Chongsen led Bai Ling straight down the stairs, Bai Ling looked back anxiously: "That thing is..."

"It's dead," Xie Chongsen's voice was urgent, but calm as always, "its core is not there, it's just a projection."

Bai Ling couldn't understand what he was talking about. The moment the two of them turned down the stairs and ran into the square, they heard a loud bang, like an earthquake rumbling and making people tremble all over, or like a huge wave hitting an iceberg.

It took Bai Ling a long time to recover from the ringing in his ears, but when he looked back, he was stunned.

The blood mist... dissipated.

Under the small but tenacious radiance of the autumn morning, the blood mist dissipated and disappeared, and the air transformed into its original appearance, like a balloon exploding, blasting away all the disgusting odors.

Next to the golden little sun, there is a colorful golden cloud floating over.

That golden cloud was supposed to be auspicious and festive, but for some reason, the moment Bai Ling caught a glimpse of that auspicious cloud, his whole body tingled with pain.
