#145 - Chapter 145 The corridor in the early morning
“No need to explain, I will truthfully report your actions.” Li Chenqiu reached out to block Xiang Nanzhi and continued:
“It’s not that I didn’t want to complete it, I was really forced by Thousand Faces, he forced me to eat dirt, deliberately humiliating me, I didn’t know…”
“I didn’t!” Xiang Nanzhi shook Li Chenqiu’s arm: “I didn’t want you to eat dirt, I just wanted to scare you.”
Li Chenqiu frowned: “Can you not interrupt my phone call? Phone bills are expensive, can you not waste my time?”
Xiang Nanzhi lowered his voice: “Li Chenqiu, listen to my explanation…”
“You can explain it to King Yama later, okay?” Li Chenqiu looked at Xiang Nanzhi coldly and heartlessly.
“I have evidence to prove my innocence.” Xiang Nanzhi waved his hand and conjured up a dozen bottles of light red blood:
“I knew you needed these, so I prepared them from the beginning, all intended for you.”
Li Chenqiu, who was pretending to be on the phone, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiang Nanzhi in surprise.
That’s right, Li Chenqiu didn’t dial King Yama’s number at all, from the beginning he intended to scare Xiang Nanzhi.
Xiang Nanzhi is, to put it bluntly, an immature child. Which child isn’t afraid of the teacher calling their parents?
Seeing that the other party was so sincere, Li Chenqiu’s attitude softened slightly: “King Yama, I feel like I spoke a little harshly just now… No, no, Thousand Faces didn’t threaten me.”
Xiang Nanzhi put his hands together, looking at Li Chenqiu gratefully.
“He’s still considered normal… King Yama, don’t say that about Thousand Faces, although his brain isn’t quite normal, he’s still a very good person… Nothing happened, how could there be streaking, that’s simply alarmist…”
Xiang Nanzhi looked at Li Chenqiu nervously, although he didn’t know what the two were talking about, but with his own powerful analysis and deduction, he roughly guessed that King Yama was reprimanding him.
“Okay… um… no problem.” Li Chenqiu nodded and turned to look at Xiang Nanzhi: “King Yama asked me to tell you, don’t forget your mission, if you continue to play recklessly, you should know…”
Li Chenqiu stopped talking and smiled profoundly.
“Okay, that’s all, I’ll contact you next time if anything comes up.” Li Chenqiu hung up the phone that was never connected.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Chenqiu asked nonchalantly: “Are you so afraid of King Yama?”
Xiang Nanzhi waved his hand: “What am I afraid of him for? You wouldn’t understand even if I told you, it involves a blind spot in your knowledge.”
Li Chenqiu nodded thoughtfully: “Give me a few drops of your blood!”
“Blood?” Xiang Nanzhi pointed to the dozen bottles of light red blood: “You already have this, why do you still want my blood?”
“It’s different, your blood can let people in illusions see me, this blood water won’t work, it’s good to have both.” Li Chenqiu explained.
Xiang Nanzhi rolled his eyes: “I can give you my blood, but you have to promise me, during the time I’m your protector, you can’t call King Yama and complain about me.”
“Okay.” Li Chenqiu nodded.
Xiang Nanzhi said seriously: “A person should be trustworthy, you can’t break your promise.”
Li Chenqiu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying with a straight face: “Don’t worry, I, Li Chenqiu, am the most trustworthy, it’s impossible for me to go back on my word.”
……
……
3:29 AM
It was late at night.
Sitting on the bed, Li Chenqiu opened his eyes and smeared the blood he had tricked out onto his forehead.
After a moment, everything in front of him was replaced by blood color, and the true face of the train appeared in front of him again.
Compared to the previous noise, the carriage was much quieter now.
After all, Resurrectors are also people, and people need to sleep. Only a small number of Resurrectors were still playing with their phones or playing cards.
Li Chenqiu put a bottle of blood water into his arms and jumped off the bed silently, making almost no sound, but still waking up Qi Mingyue, who was a light sleeper.
Qi Mingyue frowned, watching the direction Li Chenqiu left, and followed after lifting the blanket.
Li Chenqiu stopped after walking for a while and turned his head to look at Qi Mingyue following behind.
Qi Mingyue also stopped when he saw this, quietly watching Li Chenqiu.
Li Chenqiu frowned, beckoned to Qi Mingyue, and then stepped into the shadows on the side.
A gleam of light flashed in Qi Mingyue’s eyes, and he also quickly walked into the shadows.
“Why are you following me in the middle of the night without sleeping?” Li Chenqiu asked in a deep voice.
“I’m just curious about what you’re going to do.” Qi Mingyue said slowly.
“You…”
Li Chenqiu wanted to send Qi Mingyue back, but the words didn’t come out of his mouth.
Seeing that Li Chenqiu’s expression was wrong, Qi Mingyue thought that he had made the other party unhappy, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I’m a curious person, I’ll go back.”
Qi Mingyue pursed his lips, bent over and nodded to Li Chenqiu, and turned to walk back.
“Wait a minute.”
Li Chenqiu reached out and grabbed Qi Mingyue’s wrist, pulling him back into the shadows.
Qi Mingyue was stunned: “What’s wrong?”
Li Chenqiu didn’t speak, he poked his head out to look at both sides, and only retracted his head after seeing that no one was there.
“I’m going to tell you something next, don’t make a fuss, just know it yourself.” Li Chenqiu stared into Qi Mingyue’s eyes.
“Okay.” Qi Mingyue nodded obediently.
Li Chenqiu took out the bottle of blood water from his arms and instructed: “No matter what you see later, don’t shout, understand?”
Although Qi Mingyue didn’t understand what Li Chenqiu meant, he still seriously agreed: “Okay, I promise you.”
Li Chenqiu twisted off the cap and handed it to Qi Mingyue: “Take a sip.”
As Qi Mingyue’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, his dim eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pin.
“This… what’s going on?” Qi Mingyue looked at Li Chenqiu in disbelief.
“I don’t know the specifics, I got this bottle of water by chance, after taking a sip, I saw the people you see.” Li Chenqiu shook his head.
Qi Mingyue walked out of the shadows and turned to look at another carriage.
When he saw the scene that was like a hell on earth, he was stunned.
Seeing this, Li Chenqiu dragged him back into the shadows and said solemnly: “In this unclear situation, don’t be a saint and try to save others, take care of yourself and stay vigilant at all times.”
Qi Mingyue suppressed the shock in his heart and turned to look at Li Chenqiu: “What were you planning to do just now?”
“Let the two responsible teachers drink this bottle of water, and then listen to their arrangements, if there’s nothing else, go back, remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”
“Can I go with you? My ability can ignore obstacles and explore the souls nearby, it should be able to help you.” Qi Mingyue asked uneasily.
Li Chenqiu hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.
