Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Sinking the Corpse_1
One minute before the Invisible Bubble ceased to function, Qin Sisi left the nightclub, who settled with Ye You on a bench in front of a flower bed not far from the nightclub, waiting.
It was a harrowing night. It was late November on the solar calendar, and the deep night outdoors carried winter’s coldness.
To stay warm, Qin Sisi wore the cloak that Ye You had given her, which could keep a constant temperature. Although she was no longer cold, the chill in her heart was still hard to dispel.
After a long silence, Qin Sisi suddenly thought of something: "The ghost? Xiao Jin is dead, so where did her ghost go?"
There was a flicker in Ye You’s eyes, but it didn’t say anything.
Qin Sisi looked strangely at Ye You, picked it up to her eyes and asked: "Have you sensed Xiao Jin’s ghost?"
Ye You paused for a moment and replied honestly: "Yes."
Qin Sisi jumped to her feet and said anxiously, "Where? Let’s go and find her!"
Ye You shook his head and said: "It’s not the time."
Qin Sisi asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Ye You thought for a moment and said: "No need to find, she will appear naturally when she wants to."
Qin Sisi was a bit at loss and opened her mouth. This answer seemed a bit... philosophical.
Ye You extended a claw and gently stroked Qin Sisi’s hair, whispering: "Sisi, don’t worry, there will be an outcome soon."
Looking at Ye You’s eyes that were as bright as stars, Qin Sisi nodded, not quite understanding, and hugged Ye You tightly, saying no more.
Ye You looked at her tenderly, and didn’t say anything either, just nestling quietly in her arms.
At around three in the morning, a subtle fluctuation in the air mingled with a faintly cold breath permeated.
Ye You’s ears twitched, its eyes narrowed, and it quickly wriggled out of Qin Sisi’s arms, onto the ground, and said solemnly: "They’re out, let’s go."
Having said that, Ye You darted towards where the air fluctuation came from.
Qin Sisi’s face tightened, and she quickly started running, following closely behind Ye You.
The two of them reached the back door of the nightclub and saw a white van speeding away. Behind the van, the ghost of Zhuang Qin was floating in mid-air, following closely.
In the cold silence of the deep night, under the dim light cast by the street lights, the van and Zhuang Qin soon disappeared.
Looking at the direction where the van and Zhuang Qin disappeared, Qin Sisi anxiously asked: "What should we do now? Use the Wings of Rainbow?"
Ye You shook its head and replied: "No, without the Invisible Bubble, we could be discovered. Leave it to me."
Ye You raised his claw quickly, forming a semi-transparent silver sphere that wrapped both him and Qin Sisi, then slowly floated into the air. Under the control of Ye You’s magic, it started chasing in the direction of the van and Zhuang Qin.
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You worriedly, and asked with concern: "Isn’t this kind of magic very draining of spiritual power?"
"I can’t care about that right now."
Ye You replied tersely, continuously pouring magic power into the half-transparent silver sphere, enabling it to speed up.
After a short while, the van and the figure of Zhuang Qin reappeared in their sight.
Qin Sisi somewhat calmed down, staring without blinking at the van ahead. She wasn’t quite sure why Zhuang Qin was chasing that van, but she had a feeling that it was somehow related to the deceased waitress, Xiao Jin.
The darkness before dawn was an extreme darkness. The dim yellow street lights stood silently on the roadside, the traffic on the road was very sparse, and the van was driving fast, rushing out of the city.
About half an hour later, just as Ye You’s magic power was nearly drained, the van finally came to a stop.
Both Ye You and Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. If the van had kept going, they probably wouldn’t have been able to keep up.
Qin Sisi looked around. This was the outskirts of the city, where a river happened to flow past.
Two goons jumped out of the van and carried a large wooden box containing Xiao Jin’s body from the back of the van.
The two goons struggled a bit as they carried the large wooden box to the riverbank, and with a shout of "One, two, three," they threw the wooden box into the river.
With a "splash", the wooden box sank slowly and soon disappeared.
The two goons heaved a sigh of relief, calling to each other, "Okay, it’s done. Let’s go back."
Many trees and shrubs had been artificially planted on the riverbank. Qin Sisi hid behind a cluster of shrubs while Ye You used its spiritual power to summon Zhuang Qin over.
Zhuang Qin drifted to Qin Sisi’s side. Qin Sisi immediately asked: "What were they doing?"
Zhuang Qin’s face was pale, his fists clenched with visible strain on his forehead, and he replied through gritted teeth: "The box contained Xiao Jin’s body."
As expected, it was Xiao Jin.
A tinge of pain crossed Qin Sisi’s heart. She stared hatefully at the two goons and muttered under her breath, "These accomplices!"
Ye You looked at Qin Sisi and raised a claw. Two faint magic powers flew towards the two goons.
The two men walking on the riverbank were caught off guard, and suddenly felt an invisible force pushing them. With a "splash", the two of them fell into the water one after the other.
Luckily, the water by the river wasn’t too deep. Both goons were young and strong. After a bit of floundering, they slowly swam back to the shore and climbed up on the riverbank.
However, it was now late autumn, and the night wind was especially cold. The two of them were completely soaked, shivering from the cold wind.
One of the goons was angry and cursed out loud.
The other one quickly reminded, "Hey man, don’t you think something’s strange?"
"Strange? What’s strange?" the first goon asked, giving him a sidelong glance.
The second goon looked around and lowered his voice: "Just think about it, there’s no one here except us. How did we fall in?"
The first goon was already feeling cold, and this remark made his bones chill. He shivered and looked at the river, saying, "You mean..."
The second goon quickly said: "I didn’t say anything. We were lucky to be able to get up. Let’s go, let’s go."
Both of them hastily climbed into the driver’s cab of the van. The moment they stepped on the gas, the van sped away in the direction it came from. It was so fast, as if something terrifying was chasing them from behind.
The moment the van started, Ye You controlled the semi-transparent silver sphere, carrying both himself and Qin Sisi, and landed in the back of van.
Ye You put away the silver sphere and breathed a sigh of relief: "Taking a free ride."
Qin Sisi cracked a slight smile, but her face showed no sign of amusement.
Zhuang Qin stood by the river, staring at the river for a while, then silently followed.
Once they reached the city, Ye You landed with Qin Sisi from the van at a turn.
Neither of the two goons in the driver’s cab noticed anything and just tightened their grip on the steering wheel, speeding back to the club.
