Worth the world

Chapter 23 Respect

When eating breakfast the next day, Sun Diyang passed by Lin Yunqi with a plate and let out a heavy snort.

Lin Yunqi sat near the dining area, and after a while, Compass Seven passed by and stopped: "Do you have something on your mind?"

Lin Yunqi held his chin in thought: "I'm a little uncomfortable, Bai Ci didn't come to say good morning to me."

Luo Panqi looked serious: "Maybe there is something that delayed him to greet you."

Lin Yunqi raised his head and said, "You are so humorous."

A gust of fragrant wind wafted over, and by the time he realized it, a big beautiful woman had already sat down on the opposite side.

"Hi, my name is Lin Fanran, a colleague of Nie Yan's."

Lin Yun nodded: "Hello."

"It's fate, a surname," Lin Fanran took the initiative to open the topic: "I heard that you were telling someone's fortune last night."

When she spoke, even though she concealed it very well, there was still a trace of weirdness revealed.

Lin Yun nodded, wondering if it's because good things don't go out, and 'bad' things spread thousands of miles?

Lin Fanran glanced at the three students who wrote love letters to Bai Ci yesterday: "Which one of them will die first?"

"Ahem..." Lin Yunqi almost choked on the porridge.

Lin Fanran: "I heard from Nie Yan that you can see the date of death."

Lin Yunqi put down the spoon and frowned:

"Life is full of variables. People who seem to be numbered from the outside have a higher probability of accurately predicting the time of death.

In fact, the doctor can roughly infer this matter through the examination results.In addition, I once met an uncle at a fortune-telling booth. He fished for a living. This occupation will not change in the short term. Some time ago, the news has been reporting that the sea weather has changed frequently recently, and some fishing boats have disappeared. Driven by external factors, I The sixth sense has a trigger point. "

"...In other words, their variables are small." Lin Yunqi looked at Nie Yan over there, and said to Lin Fanran, "There are variables everywhere in the hotel."

After speaking, he got up and went to add eggs.

Lin Fanran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Compass Seven who was standing beside him, "Is this the legendary atheist?"

Compass Seven: "It's him."

Lin Fanran sighed: "What kind of atheism is this?"

Engaging in fortune-telling has come up with rules and experience.

Compass Seven: "He doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods."

"But he tells fortunes."

Compass Seven: "He doesn't believe in fate."

"..."

Last night, Lin Fanran still had hidden worries on the way here, thinking that in order not to shake Lin Yunqi's world view, the investigation must be done very covertly.Nie Yan said at the time that he didn't need it, saying that Lin Yunqi knew the nature of their work.

"There are many factors that cause incredible events, such as food poisoning, strange noises caused by thermal expansion and cold contraction... Don't worry, he can be logical and self-consistent."

"It's more than logical." After recollecting the conversation with Lin Yunqi, Lin Fanran sipped his coffee and shook his head, "It's a logic genius."

The examiner had already questioned the three contestants last night. Examiner Kong himself was good at psychic attacks, so he could basically tell that the three of them were not lying. At least as far as they could remember, they hadn't done any heinous things.

When Lin Yunqi came back from an extra meal, Lin Fanran had already sat at another table, and Compass Qi took her place and buried himself in eating.

The two sides basically didn't communicate much. Halfway through the meal, Compass Seven suddenly raised his head: "The person who greets you is here."

Bai Cisheng is very good. This face definitely has the potential to become a world superstar. The amazing thing is that under normal circumstances, unless he encounters a crazy suitor, no matter where he goes, his sense of presence is not very high.

Compass Seven was very winking, and he didn't want to get in close contact with the 'Shashen' at all, so he looked for other places with his dinner plate.

Before sitting down, Bai Ci clocked in first: "Good morning."

"……Good morning."

After the meal, the contestants were arranged in the hall on the first floor, and the two examiners stayed with them.

Lin Yunqi was not restricted in his personal freedom, and stayed in the cafeteria like an outsider, watching the discussions of the bosses the whole time.

"In the past three months, the hotel has experienced the following two abnormal situations: a guest's mouth was ulcerated after eating, and the most serious tongue was corroded; another person was swimming in the swimming pool on the top floor. Broke your tongue in half."

Lin Yunqi: "..."

What a careless one.

"Based on these alone, it is impossible for us to force the hotel to close to cooperate with the inspection. It just so happens that the venue for this year's competition has not yet been determined, so simply setting it here can be regarded as making up for the losses caused by the closure of the hotel."

Lin Fanran first introduced the reason for choosing this place, and then said to Lin Yunqi, "Can you help me get the cup over there?"

Lin Yunqi was dismissed cooperatively.

"If it's an extremely powerful foreign object, it's impossible to hide it silently." Lin Fanran quickly explained the situation: "Before the start of the competition, our people have confirmed that it's just good at hiding."

Nie Yan knew this.

For example, the starving ghost can weaken the sense of existence, but within a certain range centered on him, the frightening Yin Qi cannot be concealed.

"The weaker it is, the easier it is to hide."

Such is the ghost of Zheng Liangtian after his death, Liu Fan is very difficult to find.

Lin Fanran nodded: "But the weak foreign body can't restrain the instinct."

This undoubtedly created a huge point of contradiction.There was a foreign object in the hotel that was good at hiding, but it was able to resist the temptation and not attack Lin Yunqi.

The two subconsciously looked in the direction where Bai Ci was sitting, wanting to hear his opinion, but when they turned their heads, there was nothing there.Bai Ci did not know when he was behind Lin Yunqi, and he had nothing to say.

It was too late yesterday, the foreign body was stronger at night than during the day, and it was not safe to move.Now the final result of the discussion between the two parties is to search all corners of the hotel one by one, and the more powerful students will be brought by the judges to join the search.

Lin Yunqi is a special case, you have to be careful when talking to him, no one wants to take him to play together.

Of course, Lin Yunqi didn't believe in the existence of ghosts in the hotel at all, and planned to go swimming on the top floor to pass the time.

Skeleton Dog said to Bai Ci: "Your luck has arrived."

"nonsense."

"..."

The facilities in the restaurant are good. The swimming pool is recirculated water, which is very clear. Although it is not open to receive guests recently, the staff will still clean it step by step.

Lin Yunqi and Bai Ci almost arrived at the same time.

There were employees cleaning up the corner, Lin Yunqi: "I thought they would be evacuated first."

"It's more dangerous to let the staff leave before things are cleared up, because there is no certainty that they will take something out."

Lin Yunqi: "Such as bacteria, or viruses?"

Bai Ci: "Such as curses, or strange creatures."

"Superstition." There is a shop in the hotel, and Lin Yunqi is wearing newly bought swimming trunks, showing off his sexy mermaid line.

But Bai Ci came over with a lifebuoy.

Lin Yunqi looked a little surprised: "...Sometimes I wonder if your abs were bought."

"Practicing blindly with online videos won't improve your physical strength much." Bai Ci hesitated, and asked, "Can you teach me how to swim? I'll pay for it."

If he succeeds in cracking down on fakes this time, he can make a lot of money. Lin Yunqi didn't care about the little money: "It's okay, I'll teach you once for free."

Five minutes later, the one-time coach started private teaching for one-time students in the swimming pool on the top floor.

"Press inward..." The gentle voice was somewhat harsh: "Take a breath slowly and relax, you can throw away a floating board... Yes, that's the state, don't be nervous."

The teaching had just started to improve, when a slightly suspicious voice came from the door: "What are you doing?"

Lin Yunqi turned around and saw several people standing there, besides Nie Yan and Lin Fanran, Luo Panqi and Zhou Shouyou.

It was Compass Seven who asked the question just now.

"Teach him to tread water." Lin Yunqi walked slowly to the shore with Bai Ci, and after landing, he wiped off the water with a towel, and asked naturally, "How about you?"

Nie Yan: "Two weeks ago, someone broke their tongue here, let's come and have a look."

Lin Yunqi unscrewed the bottle cap and said at the same time: "It has been so long in the past, and any traces have been cleaned up. It's better to watch the monitoring."

Nie Yan: "When the accident happened, the hotel surveillance was broken."

Lin Yunqi took a sip of water: "I'm not surprised at all."

He went on to say: "There is a problem with the guest's health. The food and hotel sanitation must have been heavily investigated, and the business can continue to show that it is qualified. But maybe you can check whether there is an unknown liquid in the air conditioner. Clients feel unwell after inhaling it, or they are allergic to certain elements..."

Compass Seven: "Sounds very experienced."

Lin Yunqi: "I have experience as a private detective. But everything else is easy to explain. I'm really curious about how I broke my tongue by the pool."

It can't be the tongue cramps, and I forgot to take it back.

Compass Seven handed over the phone: "You're welcome."

Lin Yunqi looked at it, and it was a picture of a swimming pool.

Compass Seven: "Someone uploaded a video on the Internet before, and sent everyone to keep it. Last night, I contacted them on the way here and sent a copy."

"Do you like it here?" The video is a mother recording her child's daily life.

Not far from them, a man had just landed. When he passed by a little girl, he saw the cuteness of the little girl and gave her a friendly smile.Before walking two steps away, he staggered and remained motionless with his face on the ground.

Someone next to him ran over to help her, and the scene that followed was a bit horrifying.

The man turned his face up first, then coughed suddenly, and spit out something on the person who was supporting him, bounced and fell to the ground.

The man lowered his head and saw that there was blood on his clothes, and just before the toe of his shoe, there was a small piece of red soft flesh...

"what!"

The terrified screams of passers-by, even if it's just a video, can make people feel the heart-piercing pain of the person involved.

"I'm afraid I will leave a psychological shadow for half my life." Lin Yunqi looked sympathetic: "Speaking of which, it's easy to break your teeth when you face down, and you shouldn't bite your tongue."

Compass Seven has a deep meaning: "Unlucky."

Lin Yunqi pondered for a while and asked, "Is this man married?"

Compass Seven nodded: "When he was hospitalized, his wife even came to make trouble, but after the man was rescued and woke up, he persuaded her..."

"Advise her to make the big thing smaller and just ask for a little compensation."

Compass Seven was surprised: "How do you know?"

Lin Yunqi stepped back and fixed the video in one place: "Look at his hands."

After zooming in, one can vaguely see a ring-shaped whitish spot on the man's finger, obviously showing traces of wearing a ring.

"Before swimming, I was worried that the ring would be lost or oxidized, so I took it off specially. The rate of men paying attention to such details is very low." Lin Yunqi raised his eyebrows while talking: "Unless there is some reason why he must take it off."

Compass Seven blurted out: "Extramarital affairs."

Lin Yun nodded: "It's too much trouble, maybe the underground love will be exposed."

Luo Panqi turned his head, but neither Nie Yan nor Lin Fanran was surprised, as if they had known this for a long time, and instead looked at Lin Yunqi with admiring eyes.

Lin Fanran: "I want to recommend him to the special team."

Countless abnormal incidents are reported every year, and an analyst who can accurately identify whether it is a man-made incident or a foreign object is rare.

Nie Yan said coldly, "His monthly income is at least six figures."

"..."

Nie Yan expressed his affirmation to Lin Yunqi, but his eyes on Compass Seven were not so friendly.

Compass Seven also knows that he is relatively deficient in this aspect. He habitually starts from the perspective of dealing with foreign objects, and his analysis of people has become a weak point instead.

"A lesson learned from the past." Lin Fanran warned Zhou Shouyou.

Zhou Shouyou is basically a certain future member of the special team, so this time Lin Fanran asked him to follow him and learn some experience by the way.

Compass Seven unfortunately became his first negative teaching material.

During lunch, Nie Yan gathered everyone together: "According to the current situation, the victims are all guests, and there are no similar problems in the hotel staff. The first few victims were husbands who had extramarital affairs, and they broadcast live in the hotel. A deceitful Internet celebrity, a businessman who secretly goes to prostitutes to find excitement while calling a love partner...they have one thing in common.”

"Lie." The examiner responded quickly.

Nie Yan nodded: "That's right, all the victims told lies in the hotel."

Then he looked at the three contestants from yesterday: "Tell me, what kind of nasty 'joke' did you all make?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three of them lowered their heads and sweated coldly.

Nie Yan glanced at Bai Ci: "By the way, this candidate is not born to be liked by good people."

The other contestants discussed in a low voice. Some people in this world are born with special physiques, such as pure yin body, pure yang body, etc. What is Bai Ci, the body that attracts the wicked, is it the source of all evil?

Lin Yunqi at the side comforted Bai Ci: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's just a matter of probability, there will be good people who will love you."

"I know," Bai Ci looked at him, and said, "Thank you."

This is what I said...

Lin Yunqi forced a smile: "You're welcome."

The three contestants didn't dare to hide any more, and said truthfully: "I think the little girl at the front desk of the hotel is pretty, but it seems a bit frivolous to pursue her directly, and the success rate is not high."

Compass Seven strangely got into a contest with Lin Yun, walked over and asked, "What do you think he thought of as a 'serious' way?"

Lin Yunqi: "First ask a companion to give the girl a peach blossom talisman, saying that she has recently had peach blossoms, and then arrange another friend to make an obscene appearance, and he will appear at a critical moment to create a contrast, which makes the lady fall in love with her."

What the contestant said next was exactly as Lin Yunqi expected.

Compass Seven looked shocked.

"Previously, the inspiration test required drawing talismans," Lin Yunqi. "In the past two days, the staff must have helped move the talisman paper used in the competition, and sent a piece of talisman for practice drawing. The reason is more convincing."

Bai Ci and Lin Yunqi popularized the varieties of talismans yesterday, he recalled and said: "...the peach blossom talisman is more attractive to little girls, and it is easy to be accepted when you send it out."

Compass Seven looked down on this kind of people: "Presumably they have done similar things before."

With enough accumulation, small evils can also lead to big evils, so it's not surprising that they will be attracted by Baici.

Fortunately, the three of them haven't reached the point of really defrauding money and sex, otherwise it would not be as simple as writing a confession letter.

Knowing the reason why foreign objects may harm people, Nie Yan asked the contestants to divide into two teams based on whether they lied after arriving at the hotel.

Lin Yunqi, an anti-counterfeiting person, had more than pure purpose in the competition, so he consciously took the initiative to join the team of lies. It didn't take long before Bai Ci also stood up.

Lin Yunqi was curious: "Are you lying too?"

"……"Too much.

Bai Ci's face remained unchanged: "I'm not sure."

Lin Yunqi said that he can understand that people will tell some lies unconsciously in life, and sometimes they don't even notice it.

Nie Yan and Lin Fanran looked at each other, and the latter walked up to the contestants who hadn't lied, and asked if anyone wanted to retire.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally a few people came out. They were not afraid of danger, but the special team has not found the source of the danger so far, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

Lin Fanran didn't blame him either, and turned to Scarface and said, "Fan Ming, send them to the city."

Scarface: "I can't do it."

The implication is that he also lied.

Lin Fanran looked at examiner Kong, who resisted the resentment of looking at Baici, and asked, "Is it a lie to help others lie?"

Lin Fanran: "...back off."

The examiner returned to his original position.

In the end, Compass Seven went to send it off.

As for the rest who have lied, sending them away may harm them instead. The most urgent task is to find out the type of foreign object.They still haven't figured out how this hidden foreign body can withstand Lin Yunqi's temptation.

"Excuse me," Lin Yunqi asked seriously, "I want to ask if this competition is still going on?"

He still has reports to write.

Nie Yan naturally understood what Lin Yunqi was thinking, and secretly felt a headache. Lin Yunqi was still thinking about how to crack down on fakes while others wanted to save their lives.

Lin Fanran: "Of course it's going on, now is the second link."

Lin Yunqi stood up: "That's good."

He changed his previous lazy appearance, stood up and clapped his hands: "All contestants, Yunqi fortune telling will turn your life around! If you encounter confusion on the road of life, you can come to the lobby downstairs to find me at will, one hundred at a time , I’ll set up a stall there and wait for you.”

Lin Yunqi walked gracefully, leaving a moment of silence.

"Is he crazy?"

It was Sun Diyang who spoke. After Lin Yunqi said that he wanted to tell someone's fortune, some contestants were curious and wanted to see it.Without exception, Sun Diyang told them Lin Yunqi's true face——

"He wanted to write an anti-counterfeiting report to catch people's attention."

"This liar doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all."

The more intense Sun Diyang's performance, the greater the interest of others. If you don't believe in ghosts but you can pass the screening, this is a real ghost.

One afternoon, Lin Yunqi's place was completely surrounded.

"I will be 25 years old next month. I have failed the special team assessment several times. Do you think I still have a chance?"

"The opportunity is here. Birthday, make a wish, it will come true."

Compass Seven had already returned at this time, just happened to see this scene, and said with a complicated expression: "The starving ghost will cry when he hears this."

"Calculate who is the first in this competition?"

"Of course it is me."

Lin Yunqi simply answered without thinking, the contestant is just Tu Yile. Of course, they also saw what the other party was planning.

This is to use itself as bait to lure foreign objects out.

During this period, Sun Diyang was also secretly contributing to the flames. At first, this guy was out of anger, but later he said it to everyone, making it clear that he wanted to confirm the fact that Lin Yunqi had lied.

not far away.

Lin Fanran frowned: "Bai Ci is very different to Lin Yunqi, I am worried that Sun Diyang's behavior will offend him."

Nie Yan: "I asked for it."

Lin Fanran also looked down on this student. Sun Diyang made a good plan and wanted to shift the foreign object's attention to Lin Yunqi, so that he, who was in danger because of lying on the first day, might stay out of the matter.

Lin Fanran shook his head and asked, "What is the relationship between Bai Ci and Lin Yunqi?"

"I can't figure it out." Nie Yan didn't hide the confusion between his brows.

It stands to reason that even if Bai Ci has a good impression of a person, he doesn't need to make such a big show.

From beginning to end, no one shy away from it.

Lin Fanran: "Then how did they meet?"

Nie Yan: "Ghost knows."

What Lin Fanran was sure of was that Nie Yan's temper had become grumpy recently.

In front of him, Lin Yunqi happily started his side business.

Thinking about it differently, Lin Fanran felt that if there was such an atheist who could tell fortunes in her own city, she would probably become irritable.

One afternoon, his mouth was dry and nothing happened. Lin Yunqi closed the booth for the time being, and was going to go back to his room to take a shower before going to the restaurant for dinner.

On the [-]th floor and he only accommodated three players, the stairwell was extraordinarily quiet at the moment.

There is no carpet on the ground, and every footstep is very clear. The distance between the walls on both sides is not wide, and the narrow passage seems to squeeze the air again. All the people who come in are like stepping into a deep and strange long box.

As if feeling some indescribable strangeness, Lin Yunqi walked forward calmly. When swiping the door card, he turned slightly sideways to ensure that he was not facing the door directly.

There was no stranger intruding into the guest room, and the strands of hair caught in the door in the morning were still there, but the moment the door was closed, the wind blew up a strong smell of blood.

Lin Yunqi instinctively looked in the direction of the blood. The hotel dressing mirror was installed near the door, and the words "death to liars" on the mirror caught his eyes unexpectedly.The blood is still wet, every word has rough edges, and none of the lines are straightened, which looks extremely distorted.

The commercial building opposite leads to poor ventilation in the rooms.

Lin Yunqi opened the door to disperse the smell of blood, and was about to call Nie Yan, when there was a beep from the elevator, and Bai Ci walked out from inside.

Looking at each other, Lin Yunqi shrugged.

Seeing the writing on the mirror, Bai Ci sneered: "Pretending to be a ghost."

Lin Yunqi nodded, agreeing.

Not long after, Nie Yan and Lin Fanran were called. Lin Fanran took a look and didn't stay long: "I'll check the surveillance first."

Nie Yan took a little blood with a cotton swab, put it in his nose and sniffed it: "It's chicken blood."

Lin Yunqi: "Can you smell this?"

In ancient times, there was a saying that a golden rooster called ten thousand ghosts escaped, and Nie Yan would use chicken blood in his work from time to time, so he could feel it.

"I guessed it too," he said, "I saw a big basket of chickens delivered by the deliveryman this morning."

Believe the folk rumors or not is one thing, but whether you have heard of it or not is another matter. Lin Yunqi said with great interest: "There is an old saying that chicken blood can remove bad luck and exorcise evil spirits, but the other party just uses chicken blood to scare people." , It seems that the theoretical knowledge is worse than mine."

"..."

Nie Yan had reason to believe that the perpetrator wanted to play tricks and deliberately chose chicken blood in order to create a sense of inscrutability.

But the object of his teasing was Lin Yunqi, obviously it was self-defeating.

When Lin Fanran went upstairs again, he brought another person with him. It was the face of an assistant student. The whole person looked like he had just stepped out of a coffin, and his muscles were extremely stiff.

"Our group is a colleague," Lin Fanran introduced, "surnamed Zhou, Zhou Simen."

Zhou Simen came here temporarily. He is best at detecting and tracking the smell of foreign objects.

Zhou Simen didn't like to be close to people, so he didn't greet anyone, and studied in front of the mirror by himself.

Lin Yunqi stood aside and waited for the results, and asked on a whim: "Your job is to deal with incredible events, so you should have some unique abilities."

Lin Fanran lied without changing his face: "Iron head skill, bone shrinking skill..." He pretended to be joking, looked at Zhou Simen, and said, "But he is very good."

Lin Yunqi pretended to be listening attentively.

"It is said that he once helped a resentful spirit clean up his grievances. However, the resentful spirit still couldn't forget the past and still did not resolve the resentment. But in order to repay Zhou Simen, he was willing to stay by his side to help. And the resentful spirit even named himself after him , called Xiaosi."

Lin Yunqi listened with gusto: "The story is very innovative."

After all, in ordinary ghost stories, the queen of grievances usually dissolves her resentment and disappears between heaven and earth.

The wraith behind Zhou Simen grinned, and gave Lin Banran a frightening smile.

Rao Lin Fanran was also a little creepy. It's better to keep less contact with things like wraiths.

Zhou Simen straightened up at this moment, and only said two words: "Monitoring."

Lin Fanran borrowed Lin Yunqi's notebook and played the video surveillance that he had just copied.

Everyone sat on the edge of the bed and watched. Zhou Simen didn't like to get too close to people, so he stood on the side.

Lin Yunqi helped him move a stool by himself: "Please sit down."

Then he moved another stool and said to the air, "Xiao Si sits too."

"..."

Lin Yunqi poured a glass of water for everyone by the way, gave Zhou Simen an extra glass, and continued to speak to the air, "Xiao Si also drinks."

Zhou Simen took a deep look at him: "Thank you."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Simen slowly pointed to the left, and said: "Xiao Si is actually here."

Previously, Lin Yunqi was really talking to himself in the air.

"Oh." Lin Yunqi changed the stool from the right hand side to the left hand side, and said enthusiastically, "Please sit down."
