Chapter 1668: Chapter 1668: Rest Assured, Safe and Sound
Little Taotie and Ghost chatted for quite a while before they noticed the teacher had returned. They went up and sweetly greeted the teacher, asking her whether things were settled with Head Grandpa.
Lou Lan nodded: "I’ve already spoken to him. From now on, you’ll spend the first two hours of the morning with me at the Special Department. After those two hours, you’ll be assigned other tasks."
Little Taotie pointed to a void in mid-air, where, from Little Taotie’s perspective, floated a dead fish-eyed Ghost. But in Lou Lan’s view, nothing was there.
"He said he drowned, maybe his brain got waterlogged, and he can’t remember anything."
Lou Lan nodded, having already conducted an initial examination of the corpse, and indeed, it drowned.
But she couldn’t quite agree with the "brain got waterlogged" statement.
Lou Lan tactfully said, "Is it possible that before he fell into the water, his head was severely struck, causing him to lose his memory?"
Little Taotie blinked and asked Ghost, "Did someone hit you on the head?"
Dead fish-eyed Ghost shook his head: "I don’t remember."
"He said he doesn’t remember." Little Taotie conveyed in a cute voice to Lou Lan.
Lou Lan: "It seems an autopsy is necessary; only an autopsy will reveal the truth."
Little Taotie looked at Ghost, then at Lou Lan, sighed: "It’s too difficult, we’ll have to do an autopsy."
Ghost drifted over to Little Taotie’s side and asked in a tiny voice, "After I’m dissected, will I be missing arms and legs in my next life, with my belly having a big hole or something?"
Little Taotie laughed: "Whether your soul is damaged."
"But I’ve heard that if someone’s disabled, their soul is also disabled."
Little Taotie was a bit surprised: "You know quite a lot, but my Master said if you’ve already become a spiritual body, it won’t affect your spiritual body much."
"Not much? So that means it’s uncertain? I’m scared, I’m scared of missing arms and legs in my next life; might as well not become human! I might even be abandoned..." Ghost grumbled.
Clearly, he was someone who thought too much while alive.
Little Taotie gently reassured, "The chances of being affected are very small, and as long as the teacher helps you..."
Chef’s inner thoughts: Seems like it’s not Zaizai’s black fan.
Chef nodded: "Then good luck, you keep the invitation; you can change your choice before the banquet starts."
Chef turned to leave, and the waiter smiled at Yuanyuan, then announced the content of the third round of competition: "Everyone, the next round of the contest will be split into pairs, you can look for a partner yourselves. If you haven’t found a partner in half an hour, the shop will randomly pair you."
Little Taotie and Yuanyuan were definitely going to team up, but before they could speak, someone at the same table stood up and shouted: "I want to team up with this brother!"
The one speaking was a man from the next table, and his chosen partner was a short White Person.
His eager gaze was directed at the short White Person, only to be coldly rejected: "No, I want to team up with her."
The short White Person was pointing at Little Taotie.
Little Taotie blinked, a bit surprised to be chosen, and shyly pursed her lips. Actually, she quite liked this decent Hungry Ghost.
But this time, the mission’s target was him, surely forming opposing sides.
Knowing Little Taotie felt troubled, Yuanyuan stood in front of Little Taotie, protectively saying: "He’s my little brother, of course with me! You better give up!"
"Not much? So that means it’s uncertain? I’m scared, I’m scared of missing arms and legs in my next life; might as well not become human! I might even be abandoned..." Ghost grumbled.
Clearly, he was someone who thought too much while alive.
