I'm back after slacking the paranoid villain

Xiang Xiuqi opened his eyes, looked at the chandelier hanging on the beam, but didn't react for a while.

where is thisWhy is he here?

After struggling to sit up from the bed, he felt the throbbing pain in his head. He carefully reached out and touched the back of his head, and suddenly took a painful breath, and he was completely awake.

Glancing at the slightly familiar yard through the window, Xiang Xiuqi remembered that he had been knocked out again.

Standing up with a sad face, he walked out of the room and saw Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen sitting in the main hall eating. Seeing him coming out, Mr. Shen waved to him enthusiastically as if nothing happened: "Come over to eat, I just said you won't get up again I can’t even eat leftovers.”

The attitude is friendly and natural, as if the big bag on his head never existed.

Xiang Xiuqi looked at Gu Yan, Gu Yan was serving Shen Shu food with a serious face, seeing him looking over, his eyes narrowed, his expression turned cold instantly, so scared that Xiang Xiuqi quickly sat down.

Shen Shu put the bowls and chopsticks on him, and said with a smile: "Since you are Gu Yan's friend, you should stay here first. Although our family is not rich, it is still possible to vacate a house."

"But, but I have to go back to Ningguang City after this matter is settled..." Xiang Xiuqi glanced at Gu Yan again, and whispered.

Shen Shu sighed: "You should know the situation here in Xihua Town, we don't deal with that surnamed Cao, Song Yan is an inappropriate person, I think there is a lack of someone who can do practical things here, you are very suitable! "

Xiang Xiuqi understood what Shen Shu meant, which was to let him stay in the Xihua Town Office.

He was a little embarrassed. Anyway, he was also a well-known person in the Ningguang City Branch Bureau. It was really unreasonable for him to suddenly invite himself to be transferred to a small town.

Shen Shu took a sip of the porridge and said casually, "I'm making this suggestion for your own good. After all, it's troublesome to come back here every seven days. Of course, you can leave if you don't find it troublesome."

"Wh, what do you mean?" Xiang Xiuqi gave the hand that picked up the vegetables, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

Shen Shu smiled slightly, very kindly: "It's nothing, I just planted a small seed on your altar, but don't worry, as long as you obediently keep all the secrets related to us, this thing will not affect you at all. !"

Xiang Xiuqi almost cracked open, he looked at the two people with calm expressions, and suddenly felt that he had become a weak and helpless ant, being played by these two people in the palm of his hand.

"Mr. Shen, do you know why my altar is empty?" Xiang Xiuqi wanted to cry without tears.

Shen Shu swallowed a mouthful of porridge, blinked, and then shook his head: "I don't know, what kind of treasure do you have? Or is it your natural physique? I was curious from the first time I saw you, but I just didn't feel like asking."

Xiang Xiuqi looked at Gu Yan numbly: "That's because Mr. Gu used me as an experiment. If the experiment is successful, I will become half human and half puppet. As long as Mr. Gu has a thought, I will die completely."

I have to say, it's not that one family doesn't enter the other family, these two people are really exactly the same cautious, even the methods are so similar!

Shen Shu coughed, concealing the smile that was almost revealed, and pretending to be surprised: "Really, how did Gu Yan do such a thing, it's too much!"

Seeing Gu Yan's gloomy gaze drifting over, Xiang Xiuqi was so frightened that he hurriedly explained: "I, I am voluntary, Mr. Shen, don't think too much, Mr. Gu never pushes others, we are all voluntary, otherwise I would have done it voluntarily." It's just a corpse, but I have no chance to live until now."

Shen Shu snorted, looked at Gu Yan with a smile, and sighed with relief on his face: "I knew that Gu Yan in our family has always been very good, how could it be possible to do such a crazy thing."

Xiang Xiuqi twitched his throat, finally smiled, lowered his head and began to pick the vegetables in his bowl, to hide the indescribable expression on his face.

It was the first time he heard someone praise Gu Yan so much. Maybe this is the so-called beauty in the eye of the beholder?

If these words were put outside, the person who spoke would be drowned by everyone's saliva, or he would be beaten to death if he couldn't be drowned.

Who is Gu Yan? He is the devil who has turned the entire industry upside down.

In the stories circulated in the industry, Gu Yan was rumored to be a psychotic killer with anti-social personality. Although, as Mr. Gu's subordinate, he didn't quite agree with such a view, Gu Yan's actions were indeed hotter than ordinary people.

To be able to say that Gu Yan is a good person with a face of relief, Mr. Shen either has a big heart, or he himself is not a simple person.

Feeling the big bag still beating faintly on the back of his head, Xiang Xiuqi was more inclined to the latter guess.

This Mr. Shen seems to be more ruthless than Mr. Gu. Anyway, Mr. Gu is self-aware of what he does, but Mr. Shen is different. He seems to think that they are all good people from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Shu smiled and patted Xiu Qi on the shoulder: "You can stay here with peace of mind, just take it as a vacation for yourself, running around in Ningguang City every day is also tiring, how nice it is to take a vacation here ah."

Xiang Xiuqi agreed without tears, what else could he do, he could only agree.

After the three of them had this "warm" breakfast, Gu Yan went to work in the clothing store as usual, while Xiang Xiuqi and Shen Shu went to find Teacher Gu.

Seeing Teacher Song, Xiang Xiuqi said in a very official way that he was just passing by here, and he would help by the way.

Teacher Song was not too surprised. The three of them followed the original plan and came to the place agreed with Song Yan, a small restaurant near the hospital.

It was only around ten o'clock in the morning, and the restaurant was very quiet. I saw Song Yan huddled in the corner through the glass and Shen Shu. It was different from when he left yesterday. At this moment, he was like a frightened rabbit. The waiter The sound of putting away the cutlery made him uneasy.

After noticing Shen Shu's gaze, Song Yan quickly got up and greeted him hastily.His face was very haggard, and his body trembled slightly when he walked, as if something was following him behind him.

Hurriedly walking in front of Shen Shu, Song Yan grabbed Teacher Song with trembling hands as if he wanted to say something, and then saw Xiang Xiuqi standing beside the two, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Xiang!" His excited eyes lit up, and the panic expression on his face dissipated instantly.

Xiang Xiuqi glanced at Shen Shu, coughed lightly, and nodded slightly at Song Yan with a very indifferent expression.

Shen Shu sighed helplessly, pulled Song Yan into the restaurant again, and the four of them found a quiet corner to sit down.

"What happened, or what did you find out, why are you so scared?" Shen Shu poured a cup of hot water and put it in front of Song Yan, "Why didn't you call us or inform other people if something happened."

Song Yan held the water glass in both hands, took a deep breath, and glanced at Xiang Xiuqi again, and then slowly calmed down.

"...I lost my mobile phone, I have no money in my hand, and I haven't had time to replace it, and I don't remember your phone number..."

Shen Shu frowned: "What about the one surnamed Cao, if you lost your cell phone, why shouldn't his cell phone be lost too?"

Song Yan curled his mouth and said with a sob: "Brother Cao is missing! I sorted out the materials last night, and I planned to show Brother Cao to see if there was anything missing, but I went to the ward to check, and he wasn't there at all! I asked the doctor, and they said that someone discharged Brother Cao in the morning, and Brother Cao and that person left early in the morning."

"Then when I wanted to call him, I realized that I lost my mobile phone at some point. I, it was all my carelessness. I should have guarded him in the ward yesterday."

When Song Yan was talking, he contacted Xiu Qi from the Ningguang branch, and his expression gradually sank after seeing the news sent over there.

"No one from us came here yesterday. The person surnamed Cao was not taken away by our people. Moreover, Cheng Xiangming, who was transferred to take charge of this matter, is also missing."

Song Yan panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "That senior is also missing? Then Brother Cao, could he, could he have... been killed?"

Xiang Xiuqi shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation at present. Most of the people in the branch have not yet returned to Ningguang City, so I will be fully responsible for this matter from now on."

Shen Shu nodded: "I remember you said that you and that Cheng Xiangming are friends, the last time you contacted, did he mention anything?"

Xiang Xiuqi nodded slightly: "We should have arrived at the agreed place at the same time, but the day before we came, he told me that he had an old classmate with a good relationship who lived near Xihua Town. He was a little worried and wanted to drop by Look at that classmate."

"Cheng Xiangming didn't mention the specific address of that classmate, but I remember him jokingly saying that the middle school he went to was No. [-] Junior Middle School, commonly known as Xiao San Middle School."

"The No. [-] Junior Middle School of Xihua Town is in Liuying, but it's a boarding school. The students are scattered in several surrounding villages, so it's not easy to find." Shen Shu frowned slightly.

If, like their school, it only accepts students who live nearby, it is easy to find someone, but the teaching quality of Liuying Middle School is also one of the best in Xihua Town, not to mention the nearby villages, even several surrounding towns Parents try their best to send their children in.

In this way, it is not easy to find Cheng Xiangming's friend.

Song Yan, who had been trembling all this time, suddenly said: "It's this school, the kid who committed suicide yesterday belongs to this school!"

Shen Shu and Teacher Song looked at each other, which was convenient.

The four immediately rushed to Liuying by bus.

According to Song Yan's rough investigation, the boy who jumped yesterday was surnamed Liu Jiayue, and he was a student in Class [-], Grade [-], Liuying Middle School. According to the rules of selecting hosts for spirits, Song Yan circled four of Liu Jiayue's classmates who were in a relatively dangerous situation. people, three students, and one teacher.

One of the three students is in the same class as Liu Jiayue, and coincidentally, that classmate also reorganized his family, but he remarried to Liuying with his mother, probably because of this reason, this boy has a withdrawn and weird personality , often clashed with classmates, so he was excluded by the whole class.

The other two students are also introverted due to family conflicts, so that they are targeted by so-called "school bullies" like Liu Jiayue and are often bullied.

The remaining one is a math teacher in No. [-] Middle School. Recently, something happened at home, which caused him to be implicated in his work. Now he is responsible for some logistics work in the school.

"The time is too short, and I can't find much information. I can only find these relatively easy-to-get news. One thing is very strange, these people have already appeared before Liu Jiayue's accident, which is very abnormal compared to the past. behavior, one of the students even had suicidal tendencies more than once, but was rescued in time."

"That is to say, before Liu Jiayue committed suicide, they might have been parasitized by spirits, so there may be more than one spirit in Liu Jiayue." Shen Shu frowned slightly.

Spirits are very special. Low-level spirits have no intelligence, only instinct. They instinctively seek out hosts to devour human souls to strengthen themselves. Similarly, driven by instinct, they will also devour their weaker counterparts.

Therefore, two spirits will not appear in the same place. Once two spirits appear, as long as one of them is weaker than the other, it will be swallowed immediately.

However, according to what Song Yan said, in a small middle school in Liuying, it is possible that at least two spirits appeared at the same time.

"It's a bit strange..." Xiang Xiuqi clicked his tongue, shook his head slightly and said, "Let's check it out when we get there."
