Chapter 74: This world is unscientific (5)
While he was sleeping, Ren Zhu suddenly sensed that someone was looking at him and abruptly opened his eyes. However, he didn’t see anything. The room was still dark, with only the moonlight scattering through the window.
Moonlight?
Curtains?!
Ren Zhu turned to look at his bedroom curtains and discovered that the window was open. A light breeze gently blew the curtains, giving off a particularly picturesque charm.
But before he had gone to sleep, he had closed the window and also drawn up the curtains. So the feeling that someone had just been staring at him wasn’t an illusion? Someone had really come in and stood by his bed to watch him?!
This kind of speculation caused Ren Zhu’s entire being to not feel so good. Even if he should be able to calmly face everything with his amount of experience, in this unscientific world, his experience was still very little. If some evil spirit crawls through the window in the middle of the night and wants to do something bad to him, he also didn’t have those so-called talismans or arrays.
Ren Zhu got up and stood in front of the window, gazing out into the city that was ablaze with lights. He kept feeling that in this world, even the sky and the night carried a strange demonic aura. Suddenly, Ren Zhu’s pupils shrank. He seemed to see that there was someone jumping between the tall buildings? That skilful and experienced manner made that person look extremely handsome and wild, as though he ruled the world. However……
“Those high rise buildings are more than a dozen metres apart, some even more than 100 metres apart. Can an ordinary person jump between the roof tops?” Teacher Ren mumbled to himself. In the end, he firmly shook his head. “That’s impossible, so that must be a demon.”
Ze, in this world of ghosts and demons, he really needs to read some more books and upgrade his skills. Otherwise, he would always feel unsafe.
And in an extremely good mood, Master Yi was leaping between the buildings when his foot suddenly slipped and he almost fell off, becoming one of those fools who committed suicide by jumping off a building. After steadying himself, he looked in the direction of Ren Zhu’s house, but he soon became cheerful again and smiled, although that smile was almost unnoticeable.
The dream demon that had plagued him for more than 20 years was finally broken tonight. He really should go and kill a big demon or an evil spirit to celebrate. However, it seemed that that person was going to investigate that evil spirit’s matter tomorrow. To be able to torture a young man who was born at noon on the day of the Qingming festival to death, whether the one who killed him was a man or a demon, they definitely weren’t easy to deal with. So, it’s better if he went back and rested. He can then go and protect him tomorrow. Ah, that person looks really pleasing. He has never felt that anyone could be so good-looking. He really wanted to hide him away so that no one could see him.
Yi Xiao returned to his bed and a trace of dark red flashed through his eyes. If that person could accept being locked up so that only he could see him, then that would be good. Only this way would he be able to ease the emptiness that he had felt for more than 20 years in his heart.
Ren Zhu once again laid down and slept, but he couldn’t help but shiver and wrap the blanket even tighter around himself. It’s already the end of February, why was it still so cold?
The next day, Ren Zhu energetically got out of bed and made himself a decent breakfast. He then drove over to Mother Pang’s house.
At this moment, Mother Pang was already waiting for him inside: “You and Xiao Fei can discuss at home. I’ll go to the pet market to have a look and see if I can buy a golden retriever to raise. Since Xiao Fei is worried about me, then I should find a companion. Raising a docile dog would be pretty good.”
Ren Zhu nodded: “That’s a good idea. Take care on the road. Also, a golden retriever is a good choice. Don’t raise those 3 silly sled dogs. They’ll only tear the house down.”
Mother Pang didn’t really understand what those ‘3 silly sled dogs’ were, but she still left with a smile. Pang Fei only came out after she left, his expression ugly: “Actually, a husky is also okay. At least they’re very lively, aren’t they?”
Ren Zhu raised an eyebrow in surprise: “I really couldn’t tell ah. You actually like huskies?”
Pang Fei blushed: “No! Who likes those silly dogs!”
Teacher Ren decided to just accept this and changed the topic: “Alright, then can you now tell me about your situation? That young man in black had said that you were filled with resentment and your evil aura was overflowing. He also said that you were tortured to death. You……”
Saying this, Ren Zhu noticed that the ghost that was originally quite calm in front of him suddenly became malevolent. Did he recall something that made him extremely angry, scared or hateful? No longer looking like an ordinary student, Pang Fei fiercely snarled and charged at Ren Zhu, wanting to directly pounce on him and kill him!
Standing outside the window the entire time, Yi Xiao suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity for him to show himself! However, as soon as he broke the window and rushed in, he saw Ren Zhu motionlessly shout at the evil spirit that had already inflated several times bigger: “Shut up and sit down! If you roar again, I’ll make you copy texts!!”
Then, the evil spirit that was still baring his fangs and brandishing his claws suddenly became terrified. The resentful aura on his body scattered and he obediently sat down on a small stool. He was just lacking a book to copy the text.
Since the situation happened like this, the one who had just smashed the window and rushed in, the most power person in a hundred years within the Xuan Xue circle, known as the living demon king, Master Yi, Boss Yi, and Handsome Yi, felt extremely embarrassed. It was just like when a hero wanted to save the beauty, but discovered that the beauty had actually used her fists to get rid of the evil tyrant. And at this moment, the hero still hadn’t prepared a handsome pose to rush over.
Ren Zhu vigilantly turned his head. When he saw this master who looked remarkably like the black impermanence, he actually relaxed a little: “…… What are you doing here?”
Yi Xiao’s cold iceberg face didn’t reply. He simply walked to Ren Zhu’s side and sat down, staring at Pang Fei.
This silent imposing expression annoyed Teacher Ren. “It’s no use not talking. Remember to compensate him for that window when you leave!”
Yi Xiao’s indifferent face suddenly twitched. After a long while, he silently rolled his eyes and reluctantly took out a yellow talisman. Lightly tapping it two times, the talisman then flew out and gathered all the broken glass and window fragments on the floor. Finally, it turned into a white light, and as though time was flowing in reverse, the fragments actually started to fly little by little towards the window. After 3 minutes, the window that Master Yi had violently smashed was restored to its original state. Actually, it was even several times cleaner than before he smashed it.
Teacher Ren’s mouth hung open in shock as he stared at this skill. And Pang Fei, even as an evil spirit, also felt that this skill was extremely awesome.
“If you go and restore some cultural relics or broken artefacts, I think you’d be a millionaire.” Think of all those broken porcelain, jades and so on. He could effortlessly make a fortune with that skill!
Yi Xiao coolly glanced at Ren Zhu. “I’m already a billionaire.” He must show off his assets and give his partner a sense of financial security whenever possible.
Ren Zhu: “……” You damned facial paralysis iceberg! You actually look down on millionaires? Even if I already have a house and a car, my bank account is almost empty okay!
“Alright. Xiao Fei, please continue. You don’t need to worry about other things. I um…… and this powerful master are here. If you have any problems that are hard to solve, just say it out. We will help you handle it.”
Ren Zhu’s voice was gentle and strangely reliable. At this moment, Pang Fei had never felt so calm. Hence, just like a wronged and bullied child who had found a teacher to protect him, he fearfully but also angrily described his own cause of death.
“Until now, my corpse still hasn’t been found.” Pang Fei’s voice trembled: “But I myself also don’t know where I died. I only know that before I died, Li Yao called me to go with her to the bookstore. But in that bookstore, I suddenly lost consciousness and when I woke up, I was already in a small black room.”
Ren Zhu grasped two keywords: “Is Li Yao your classmate? What is the name of that bookstore? Have to gone to look at that bookstore after you died?”
Hearing these questions, Pang Fei’s face started to become sinister again, but then he sensed that someone seemed to be lightly patting his head and immediately calmed down. “Thank you teacher.” Pang Fei subconsciously said.
Ren Zhu immediately smiled, and sitting beside him, Yi Xiao also smiled when he heard these three words.
He felt that the word ‘teacher’ sounded really nice. He liked it very much, but it was the respect and admire kind of like. He also felt that he had a certain connection with this word. En, being a teacher must be the best occupation, second only to being a Taoist master. Both of them have the character 师 in them.
Teacher Ren didn’t know that the cold-faced iceberg beside him had automatically created a connection between a teacher and a Taoist master. If he did know, then he would definitely scoff and say that a teacher and a psychologist, top rated chef and a second generation were also very good ah. He could practically match with anyone hehe.
“This is what makes me angry. I have gone to look at that bookstore many times after I died, but I can’t go in. Also, what is frightening is that I have seen Li Yao take other male students and men to that bookstore. At that time, I realised that there must be something wrong with that bookstore and kept watch over the entrance. What is horrifying is that most of the people Li Yao brought over never came out of the bookstore again. After realising this fact, I didn’t dare to stay there anymore and instead came back to watch over my mother.” Pang Fei’s face still had some traces of fear, but it also carried some unwillingness: “Even if I ran away, I still can’t ignore this matter. I remember that I died very miserably. It seems that my heart was dug out by someone. At that time, I hadn’t gone missing for that long, so the police also didn’t investigate into my situation. My mother almost went crazy asking the people in school for my whereabouts, until finally, she found out that Li Yao was the last person to see me.”
“But Li Yao, that repulsive thing, she actually stared my mother in the face and told her lies! She said that she invited me to go out but I didn’t accept it! At that time, my mother was almost kneeling down in front of her!! She was hoping that she would hear something about me from her mouth!! How could she be so deranged and say that she didn’t see me? How could she say they she didn’t know where I was without feeling any shame?! Obviously, everything happened because she first told me that she felt that someone had been following her!”
Pang Fei yelled out in the end. His eyes had already turned red and he didn’t realise that there were two streams of blood flowing down from the corner of his eyes. He simply held his face in his hands and sobbed: “I shouldn’t have meddled so much in other people’s business! I shouldn’t have tried to be a hero! Just because of this matter, I ended up getting myself killed, leaving my mother all by herself. Every day, she cries in bed as she looks at my photograph, almost crying until she’s blind! She raised me for 18 years, but the 18 years of hard work were all wasted!”
“Wu wu wu! Mom!! I’m really sorry! Why didn’t I listen to you?!” Pang Fei fell to the ground and wept. Ren Zhu also couldn’t help but sigh. But then, the Pang family’s door was violently opened and Mother Pang rushed in with tears streaming down her face. She directly hugged her son and cried. “Xiao Fei ah! Don’t be sad, don’t be sad! You’re not wrong! You are a good child! Mother will avenge you!”
Ren Zhu stared at Mother Pang in astonishment. He didn’t remember using his skill ah? Thinking this, he then noticed that all too familiar talisman sticking to Mother Pang’s back.
Ren Zhu turned to look at Yi Xiao.
Yi Xiao stood up: “No use crying. Go bookstore. Arrest people.” Let’s hurry up and catch people so that I can show my dominating power and make my partner think that I’m awesome!
Ren Zhu: “……” Fuck! Would it kill you to say a few more words?! The silent type!
How ironic. He had hoped that ML would speak a little less in this lifetime
