The village was quite big. After walking for a while, Ming Shu still didnât meet the person that came in just now.
Little Beastie followed behind her and rolled along her side.
Trash picker, what are you finding? Food?
Ming Shu kicked it with her foot, âall you know is eating. I have no food!â
Little beastie fumed.
Trash picker, how long have you not fed me? Do you want to make me die of hunger so that you can be other peopleâs trash picker! Why are you so evil!
Ming Shu smirked. âIf I donât die, will you die? If you want to die, find a way to kill me first.â
Little Beastie was so angry it jumped around on the spot. Fire could shoot out of its eyes.
Trash picker, let me tell you. You will lose me one day! You will! You definitelt will!
Little Beastie fumed and rolled far away. However, it rolled back after a while and showed its short legs. It grabbed Ming Shuâs dress and climbed onto her shoulder.
Ming Shu said with disdain, âwhat are you doing? Is my shoulder somewhere you can just sit on?â
Although she said this, Ming Shu didnât chase it down. She poked it and make sure that it woundnât fall down.
Little Beastie hummed, there are people in front.
âIt is normal to have people. So many people came in just now. If there was no one, it would have been weird.â
It is not those people just now.
Ming Shu: â...â
It is not those people just now?
âWhere?â
Little Beastie pointed to a direction.
There was a fork road in front. Ming Shu followed Little Beastieâs direction and walked round a dilapidated house. Among the broken bricks, she saw a corpse... a human.
It was a familiar person.
The seeded player of creating inedible food â An Zhiling.
Ming Shu didnât want to care about her. However, she saw the clothes that she was wearing. It... belonged to Hua Jian.
Ming Shu walked over and pinched An Zhilingâs philtrum.
An Zhilingâs face was pale and her lips were cracked. She groaned softly and slowly opened her eyes. She stared at Ming Shu in a daze.
âItâs you...â An Zhilingâs voice was hoarse as if she hadnât talk for a long time, âwhere is this?â
âHow do I know where this is?â Ming Shu let go of her. âWhere did your clothes come from?â
An Zhilingâs mind was still in a daze. She murmured, âclothes... what clothes...â
She looked down and realized that she didnât recognize the clothes on her. She shook her head furiously and said after a logn time, âI donât know... picked it up from the floor...â
âSomething bad has happened... something bad has happened to them.â An Zhiling seemed to have remembered what happened and got agitated. âSomething had happened to my friends. I need to save them.â
She tried to get up from the ground but she staggered and almost fell on the ground.
An Zhilingâs feet were swollen like buns. How was she able to walk?
Ming Shu thought for a while. An Zhiling must have gotten her gold fingers here. Is that why Jian Ying came here? To snatch the gold fingers from An Zhiling?
An Zhilingâs gold fingers was the ability to distinguish any form of demons as well as to see the all the data of the demon, including their BWH[a].
Ming Shu only knew the summary of what happened, She wasnât sure of the detials and didnât know what would happen in the village.
An Zhiling grabbed Ming Shu and tears formed in her eyes. However, they didnât drop. She sobbed, âmy friends are in danger. I need to save them.â
âOh,â Ming Shu had no reaction. âThey are not my friends. You can go help them yourself. Well, if you can walk.â
An Zhiling was stunned for a while. After that, she looked down and muttered, âhurry up and leave this area. It is not safe. If you can, please help to call the police.
She just met her once so it was understandable that she didnât want to help her. She couldnât blame her.
After she finished, An Zhiling forced herself to stand up and gritted her teeth as she walked in a direction.
She couldnât leave her friends behind.
âI am scared of you.â Ming Shu said to herself and went up to grabbed An Zhiling. She lifted An Zhiling up on her back. Little Beastie got a shock and rolled to the ground.
Trash picker!
Are you trying to murder me!
Ming Shu ignored Little Beastie and kicked it to one side. She asked the person on her back, âwhere is the cat?â
F**k the male protagonist is not here at this crucial moment.
Ming Shuâs action was so fast that by the time An Zhiling reacted, she was already on Ming Shuâs back.
She replied blurry, âcat? It... is at home.â
âWhich direction?â
An Zhiling looked up and them suddenly cried. âI donât know... I canât remember.â
She came here yesterday night and couldnât see the road in the dark. After they lost each other, she also didnât remember how she ran here. Now that it was daytime, the road looked the same and she didnât know which was the path she took.
Ming Shu could only bring An Zhiling around and see if she remembered any familiar buildings.
Wengwengwengââ
The sound of vibration seemed extra prominent in the quiet village.
The sound came from An Zhiling. An Zhiling got a shock too. She lost her handphone and that was why she asked Ming Shu to call the police.
Then where did the vibration come from?
Ming Shu reached out and felt around. She took out a handphone from Hua Jianâs outerwear.
The person on the screen was Lu Jiu.
Ming Shu thought for a while and answered the call. Lu Jiuâs agitated voice came from the other end, âboss, boss are you okay? Where are you?â
âI am not Hua Jian.â
Lu Jiu suddenly turned quiet. After a few seconds, he asked in a deep voice, âwho are you?â
Who am I?
Lu Jiu didnât ask for her name the other time so how should she introduce herself to show off her status?
In the end, Ming Shu just talked nonsense and lured them here first.
Lu Jiu had his suspicion but he still brought someone along to meet her. When he saw Ming Shu, his expression turned really interesting. âWhy are you here?â
Ming Shu replied calmly, âlearning to do good deeds from Lei Feng.â
Lu Jiu was silent, âwhy is bossâs phone with you?â
Ming Shu gave an innocent face, âit was not with me. It was with her. I picked her up.â
Lu Jiu looked at An Zhiling. He recognized the clothes on her and grabbed An Zhilingâs elbow. âThis is my bossâs clothes. Why is it on you? Where is my boss?â
An Zhiling shook her head and explained, âI donât know. I picked it up. It was really cold so I wore it.â
Lu Jiu understood everything after some time. An Zhiling picked up Hua Jianâs clothes and the handphone was in the clothes. Then, Ming Shu picked up An Zhiling... so why is she here?
âWhy are you here?â
âLooing for Ling... Your boss.â
Lu Jiu frowned. He knew that his demon was brought up by his boss but boss didnât register this demon at the Evil Spirit Office. Everytime he asked boss about it, boss would just change the topic...
Lu Jiu didnât hide his suspicion. Ming Shu accepted hs suspicion blatantly.
After a long time, Lu Jiu said, âboss went missing. This was the last place he appeared at.â
Ming Shu couldnât deny his words.
An Zhiling sobbed, âmy friends... my friedns might be in danger too.â
Lu Jiu looked at An Zhiling. âYou re a student right? Why are you here? What happened last night? Did you see anyone suspicious?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
An Zhiling suddenly shivered. Under Lu Jiuâs gaze, she stammered out what happened last night.
