By the time I reached the supermarket around the corner from the school, I could clearly see the school building and dormitory building silhouetted against the streetlights. I suddenly felt like I was home, so I wanted to hurry back to my dorm and take a good rest.
However, just as I turned the corner and reached the darkest part of the street, a shadow suddenly emerged from the bushes by the side of the road.
Startled, I quickly jumped from the side of the road to the middle of the road, barely dodging the shadow's lunge at me. To have such a fast reaction, he had to thank the black cat for scaring him out of his conditioned reflex. But at least it was night, and there weren't many cars on the road, or I might have dropped myself under the wheels.
However, what was that black shadow that was pouncing towards him? It didn't look like a cat at all. The lighting was quite dim. I squinted my eyes to take another look. Suddenly, something exploded in my head!
Isn't this the outline of a person?
Could it be that cat head monster?
I took another step back in horror and accidentally stepped on my unlaced shoelace. My upper body lost its balance, my vision spun, and I fell down heavily.
I'm wearing hospital clothes right now, not to mention some runes, I don't even have a yellow paper bag, and I left the book in the dorm without bringing it out, not to mention thinking about Zhao Xue coming back to save me.
If this shadow really did come by during the day, then I'm very likely going to die tonight!
As I was thinking, I started to slowly retreat. At the same time, the shadow moved, bringing about a strong wind that blew a shadow behind him. It was as though a pair of wings grew from his back!
I was scared out of my wits! A scream rose to his throat, and the figure finally appeared in front of the headlights of a passing car.
No wonder it looked like it had wings when the wind blew. It was only a woman's long hair.
I finally took a deep breath and sat on the ground, panting for breath. During this period of time, the woman had left herself in the shadows, not coming out, not leaving.
I couldn't see the man clearly from under the lights, but from his silhouette, I had a feeling that I had seen him somewhere before.
But at the same time, he couldn't remember.
"Beep ~ ~ ~"
"Sitting in the middle of the road in the middle of the night. You want to be reborn?"
A car whistle suddenly sounded behind me, followed by a fat, fierce-faced woman who slammed the door from the car and pointed at me, cursing me.
Only then did I realize that I had been standing in the middle of the road for a long time. I hurriedly apologized to the woman, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm leaving! I'm so sorry! "
The fat woman probably noticed that my attitude was still good and didn't want to touch porcelain. Her cold tone slightly softened as she said, "Don't sit in the middle of the road in the middle of the night. Let's not talk about scaring, what if I really bump into you? "Let's hurry up and go."
I quickly apologized and thanked her until I got the fat woman back in the car. Then I ran to where the woman had been standing, but the woman was gone.
The woman just now — she seemed very thin, wearing a skirt and her hair was very long and messy. When the wind blew, her hair would spread out like a net! Face, I don't know if it was the headlights, but I think the man looked bad.
Where had he seen it before?
A pale dress with a side face
As I walked towards the school, I recalled that I was almost at the gate when I suddenly remembered where I had seen that person before!
Wasn't that the woman on the train?
A light flashed in my mind and I didn't have time to think about it. I also didn't have the time to think about what happened with Shen Tuo in the hospital. I quickly ran to the school's duty office and called Shen Tuo to tell him about this matter.
My own cell phone was in my bag. I just came out of the hospital in such a hurry that I remembered I didn't take it when I needed to use it.
"Shen Tuo, I just saw that woman on the train."
At first, when Shen Ta heard my voice, he was clearly stunned. But when I finished speaking, his police reaction immediately pulled him back into the case.
Shen Tuo asked, "Where is he? "What time, was it her?"
"I saw it in front of my school, but it's gone now." I told Shen Tuo about the situation just now, but after thinking about it again, I felt that something was wrong. Why would this woman appear here?
After a while, he replied, "We'll go to the entrance of your school later. Wait for us there and let the later bring us there to see if that woman left any clues behind."
I was still thinking about how that woman came to my school, so I just nodded after Shen Tuo finished speaking. Then I realized that he was making a phone call and quickly replied, "En."
It would take fifteen minutes or so to drive from the hospital to the school, so I went back to my dorm and changed my clothes while I put on my shady clothes.
Even though there isn't a dormitory manager at the entrance of the dormitory during lessons, there are guards assigned to watch the day off. Fortunately, I was quite familiar with that guard. After exchanging a few pleasantries, we left for the dormitory with the key in hand.
Just to be safe, before leaving the dorm, I wanted Zhao Xue to feel if there was very dense Yin Qi nearby. This way, if anything happens later, I can prepare in advance.
Holding the book in his hand, he closed his eyes as he called out Zhao Xue's name in his mind. Very soon, Zhao Xue's signature red mist rose up from the book. The book opened by itself and Zhao Xue's figure gradually appeared from within the book.
"How rare, you actually took the initiative to look for me? Is something wrong again? "
The moment Zhao Xue appeared, she looked around me and said.
I couldn't be bothered to tell her that there was nothing special about it, so I directly asked her, "Can you feel if there is any kind of yin energy around here? Or is there some evil spirit? "
Zhao Xue glared at me and said, "You're still realistic! "If you need me, just call me out."
Seeing that Zhao Xue was about to start mumbling again, she quickly interrupted her and said, "Alright, stop saying those useless things, quickly take a look! I have some business to attend to. "
With her eyes closed, she flew into the middle of the room, made a hand sign in front of her chest, and then drew another circle in front of her eyes. When she suddenly opened her eyes, two rays of light instantly shot out from her pair of beautiful eyes.
Eh? Why hadn't he seen her do this before? Weren't they supposed to just float around in a circle in the past? From the looks of it, this was an even more powerful spell.
Zhao Xue circled around in the air before returning to her original position. Her hands drew a circle in the opposite direction from where she was standing before her eyes. She then withdrew her hands from her chest before slowly floating down.
Zhao Xue: "There's no Yin Qi nearby, but there's something different in the northwest corner of the city. With my current power, I can't see what's inside."
"Northwest corner?" I thought about it in the direction Zhao Xue told me. If I remember correctly, the northwest corner should be a mountainous area. A few years ago, the government developed a villa there.
Right now, the environment was not good, and fog was everywhere. Building houses in the mountains had gradually become a trend for the development of various cities. Furthermore, because the houses in the mountain were backed by a mountain, there was a moat in front of them. It was said that it was like water on the surface of a mountain, and when it was advertised, it even had the words "Feng Shui is excellent" on it.
However, it was said that work there had recently stopped and the reason was under investigation.
Could it be that Zhao Xue was talking about here?
Zhao Xue continued, "I only felt a very strong Yin Qi surrounding that place, but it was very strange. It didn't seem to be particularly dangerous. I think that place might be where the Second Prince lives."
"You mean Sang Zhen?" When I first asked her for the name of the Second Prince, Zhao Xue said that due to her identity, she could not directly call Zi Sang Hua by his real name.
As a member of the Ghost Clan, if someone were to call out the name of a Ghost Clan King, they would be devoured by the ghost fire and instantly turn into ashes. But I'm not a Ghost Clan, and even a Ghost Clan can be considered a royal clan, so this rule is useless to me.
Zhao Xue nodded and said, "I was only guessing because in the mortal world, besides Royal families, I really don't know anyone else who has such pure Yin Qi."
Right, right now in the mortal world, the most powerful person was this' Zang '. It seemed that in the future, he would have to avoid going in the direction Zhao Xue pointed out.
Looking at the time, I felt that Shen Tuo and the rest should be arriving soon. I said to Zhao Xue, "I will be leaving later. I might need your help. Please."
Zhao Xue, who was floating in the air, froze for a moment. She suddenly lowered her head and said, "What do you mean please or not!? "Tch!" The red fog disappeared and the book returned to its original state. Zhao Xue also disappeared from the room.
I was so stunned by her words that I didn't react. I held the book in my hands and thought it over carefully. I couldn't help but smile. Was it because Zhao Xue was embarrassed?
After putting the book into a satchel, I closed the dormitory door and returned the key to the guard. I jogged all the way back to the place where I met the woman.
Although I had already let Zhao Xue see if there was ghost aura nearby, I still felt that something was out of control.
There were already three police cars gathered here, and a few policemen with flashlights in the grass were looking for something. Shen Tuo was standing a distance away from the corner, holding a talisman in his hand. He looked left and right, as if surveying the terrain.
Looking at Shen Ta again, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, but it wasn't a very good feeling. Forget it, now is not the time to be petty.
I walked over to the group of people who were searching for traces. It just so happened that Li Ke was also inside surveying the area. I called out to him to greet them. Maybe it's because they've been in and out of the police station a lot lately, but when they see me, it's like they're seeing a colleague.
After writing down the notes in her hand, Li Ke walked to my side and asked with some suspicion, "Yan Nuo, is it really here? When we first came here, we wanted to come to the school to look for you, but when we just arrived, Brother Shen told us to get off the car and scout, as if he saw it with his own eyes. "Take a look and see if it's here, don't make a mistake."
I really have to admire Shen Tuo's ability as a cop. Although he is a little overbearing, this ability isn't just for show. With my description just now, he actually found the place I was talking about accurately.
I nodded to Li Ke and said, "It's here. I passed by here on my way back and happened to be in the darkest part of the street, and that woman suddenly appeared from the bush that you guys were investigating. At that time, I thought it was a cat or a ghost and was so scared that I retreated far away.
