Chapter 1372: Fantasy Antique Shop Work Log 06

More than ten minutes later.

Xu Feifei hugged her lunchbox, just entered the hospital lobby, and bumped into the three bosses she had seen yesterday.

She first panicked, instantly lowered her head, her long hair covering half her face, and hurriedly walked into the elevator.

But coincidentally, they also got on the same elevator.

"Which floor are you going to?" Ying Wu Shu asked from the right side.

Jin Chen and Luo Qiu stood behind Xu Feifei, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Xu Feifei bit her pale lips, voice soft, "Eight… eighth floor."

"Okay."

Ying Wu Shu pressed the elevator button, then asked: "Regarding yesterday's matter, Xu classmate, what do you think?"

Xu Feifei's hand holding the lunchbox involuntarily trembled, "I…"

"I won't change it; you guys keep it yourselves."

As Xu Feifei spoke, Jin Chen behind her lowered his gaze to observe; his body bore no trace of taking a life, but the yin qi around him was denser than yesterday.

Staying in this hospital heavy with yin qi, something could happen at any moment.

The eighth floor arrived quickly; Xu Feifei still didn't turn to look at them, and as the elevator doors opened she hurriedly walked away, as if afraid they would catch up.

Jin Chen and the others also walked out of the elevator.

Luo Qiu let out an oh, quickly raised a hand to cover his eyes, "I really hate coming to this place!"

Unlike Ying Wu Shu, who has opened his spiritual eye, Luo Qiu's yin-yang eye is a completely passive ability; he cannot control it himself, and he cannot see ghosts.

As the elevator doors just opened, the hallway was bustling.

Passing by an old grandmother in a hospital gown who responded, "Yeah… who would want to come here."

Luo Qiu nodded, "Yeah, yeah! You also think that, right?"

Jin Chen turned back, "Who are you talking to?"

Luo Qiu: "……?"

He abruptly turned around; the old grandmother was supporting her waist, her heart felt empty, her complexion ashen.

Although she smiled kindly, it did nothing to lessen the horror.

Luo Qiu clutched his chest and took a deep breath.

Ying Wu Shu placed a hand on his shoulder, helplessly saying, "Things happened urgently; I didn't even notice the destination was the hospital."

He raised his hand, intending to bite his finger to draw blood.

This would let Luo Qiu temporarily not see ghosts.

Jin Chen realized something, pressed Ying Wu Shu's hand, voice calm, "Every time he's scared, do you have to use blood?"

Ying Wu Shu lowered his gaze to look at Jin Chen's fingers, nodded, "For now there's no more convenient method."

"I have 【a way】."

Jin Chen formed a hand seal with one hand, silently recited the incantation, then joined his two fingers and lightly touched Luo Qiu's brow.

A clear, moist sensation flowed into his body.

Luo Qiu opened his eyes again, shocked to the point of gaping.

"I can't see ghosts anymore!"

Jin Chen: "The limit is half an hour; later I'll teach you how to control your yin-yang eye."

"But don't go catching Ying Wu Shu's blood to mess around."

Luo Qiu nodded frantically, "Thanks, hero!"

The yin-yang eye issue was just resolved when another elevator opened, out came two police officers and a red-haired youth.

"Police comrade, you also said the other party's attitude is bad; I won't get beaten by them, right?"

The red-haired youth wore a worried frown, "There's evidence in the surveillance; my brother still hasn't woken up, why won't they admit it!"

The police also felt helpless, "Mainly this case is too strange; we've already had the technician inspect the car's internal parts."

The conversation precisely reached Jin Chen and the others' ears; they exchanged glances.

Ying Wu Shu: "I have a way to get into the ward."

The red-haired youth was still worrying when suddenly he heard a sound like a mountain spring flowing from behind him.

"Hello, do you need help?"

Ying Wu Shu's voice was clear and moist, gentle with a smile.

——

"Mom, this is today's meal."

Xu Feifei entered the ward and finally relaxed, always feeling that those three people were not ordinary.

"Dad! You're awake too." Xu Feifei beamed with surprise, suddenly thinking of something, after putting down the lunchbox she knelt.

"Dad… today Yaozu still hasn't come home; I heard the neighbor uncle say he saw him at the internet cafe, should we go at noon to bring him food?"

Dad Xu stared impatiently, "Otherwise, do I need to teach you this kind of thing?"

Xu Feifei lowered her head, "Okay, Dad."

She still hadn't risen, her voice soft, "Dad, the meat I bought today is fresh; please try it."

"And… there's also fresh stir-fried intestines."

As her words fell, the ward door was opened.

Xu Feifei gasped in shock, instinctively gripping her skirt to avoid Ying Wu Shu's gaze.

"Why!"

"Why did those three people follow behind the police! Could the car accident also be related to them?"

The severed hand on Xu Feifei's shoulder, which had just tentatively reached out, retracted the moment the door opened, as if even her courage was withdrawn.

Police introduced the Xu family to the Ferrari owner's family, attempting a new round of mediation.

Jin Chen had just entered the room when the yin energy startled him, and he exchanged a glance with Ying Wu Shu.

Fearing that this aristocratic youngster might resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, Ying Wu Shu soothingly pressed the back of Jin Chen's hand and gently shook his head.

Jin Chen lowered his eyes, leisurely playing with the cinnabar beads he wore, the corner of his mouth curling into a faint arc.

Ying Wu Shu stood by the door and suddenly asked, "The surveillance shows there were three people in the car at that time, including this young lady, right?"

"How come you won't be happy unless everyone in my family is dead? My precious son is resting at home."

Mother let her guard down and answered instinctively.

Xu Feifei nodded stiffly, but couldn't make any expression.

Luo Qiu furtively glanced at Ying Wu Shu, wondering why he would ask that, since Xu Feifei had been at Pure Spirit Crossing during the car accident, and they all knew that.

Not understanding, but afraid to ask, in case Ying Wu Shu had some plan!

Ying Wu Shu looked at Xu Feifei; when he had just run out of the elevator, he saw her wearing the bead string, and guessed it must be the one her brother had snatched.

"He... probably already met with foul play."

Xu Feifei hid her wrist, almost shrinking herself behind the cabinet.

The mediation here flared up again.

Bang!

Everyone was startled by the sudden kick on the ward door and looked over.

Police: "You, the family member, stay calm!"

They didn't know where three more family members had suddenly appeared from.

Jin Chen tapped the wall with his finger, his voice cold: "To solve the case, first catch the ghost."

Police: "What did you say?"

Ying Wu Shu: "……"

He silently rubbed his forehead, gradually crossing out four words from the plan.

Jin Chen stared at everyone with a strange or nervous look, then pulled out a palm-sized yin-yang disk from his pocket.

Suddenly a deep humming sounded, and the obsidian needle pointed straight at Xu Feifei.

Jin Chen's face was expressionless, his tone even more matter-of-fact, yet it gave off an oppressive feeling that made people dare not meet his gaze.

"No need for talismans; you're colluding with ghosts."

"You're young but brave."

Xu Feifei was startled by Jin Chen, her heart clenched, and she secretly thought they were indeed extraordinary.

She suddenly cried out, hiding behind the police, "What is this? I'm scared……"

The police had already concluded in their minds that Jin Chen had come specially to cause trouble.

Even the red‑haired youth didn't expect that their offer to help would turn out to be more of a hindrance!

"Comrade, modern society doesn't allow pretending to be divine!"

Ying Wu Shu quickly grabbed Jin Chen's arm, trying to stop the chaotic scene.

"Jin Chen, don't act rashly."

"Oh."

Jin Chen withdrew his hand and then bluntly said, "They don't believe in ghosts; how foolish."

Ying Wu Shu: "……"

"Because this isn't a reclusive clan!"

He didn't dare let go, and was also relieved that Jin Chen was reasonably obedient, even loosening his grip when Jin Chen pulled back.

Ying Wu Shu slightly stepped in front of Jin Chen and said calmly, "We'd like to have a private word with Xu Feifei, if that's alright?"

"No! I don't want to! Let them go…! I'm scared!"

Xu Feifei refused, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, afraid the bead string would be discovered, afraid the lifeline she had finally found would be snatched away again.

Thinking this, the gloom in Xu Feifei's eyes deepened, her pupil color spread, and the whites of her eyes disappeared.
