Chapter 31 The Qi Family

Chapter 30

Guan Xinyue took a few steps forward slowly, until she stood in front of the piece of characters floating in the air.She looked at the report like people projecting highlighted text on transparent glass, and she could see it clearly.

She read it once, and re-read it several times silently and mechanically.She couldn't understand some unfamiliar vocabulary, probably the professional vocabulary of mages, and she could tell that the writing of this report was quite professional.It's like a diagnosis, a testimonial, cold and impersonal.

Did all the disasters start from an unintentional professional report?

She turned around and saw Roach was a little excited, and his beautiful eyes became brighter because he had to peek at the path.He raised his hand and swiped at the data in the air, making them more orderly.He is still casually wearing a shirt with a Chinese good child printed on it, with a frog stitched on his chest, and the sleeves of the shirt are folded a few times at the arm, exposing his strong forearm.

"On 4821.219, Guan Yushan was commissioned by the committee to go to the human prison to conduct a mind test on the murderer of the Lu Jinfeng case. This incident aroused the alert of the real murderer behind the scenes." It has long been certain that your grandfather is a mind master, and the illusion that Du Zhengyi fell into at the bottom of the well in the backyard must be the masterpiece of the mind master."

He was a little unconfident, and stopped to think about other possibilities, "I think if that crystal is a general-purpose security device that I bought, it shouldn't be able to trap Du Zhengyi for so long. Your uncle is just a jewelry dealer. The crystal should not have been made by him."

Guan Xinyue recovered from her trance, and subconsciously blurted out, "No, he didn't do it."

Luo Qi looked up at her suspiciously, and she explained, "The trap in the well was made by my grandfather after Lu's death. If the trap is related to thoughts as you said, then it probably is."

Roach nodded and fell into thinking again.

"But what I don't understand is, if my grandpa actually found something, he had a lot of time to report it, right? But nothing was mentioned in this report. I think back to that year now, from the day of my birthday From the beginning, to the time when my aunt started to be pestered by that woman, everything was normal. It was summer vacation, and my grandpa took me to Disney the next day, and grandpa took our sisters on trips all summer long, playing everywhere , it was exactly the same as the previous summer vacation. We were not even at home... I only found out that something was wrong with my aunt when I got home, and she was very unhappy, but I didn't expect..."

She lowered her head in pain, took a few deep breaths, and forced herself to get rid of these emotions.

"Maybe your grandfather really discovered something, but he didn't realize it at the time." Roach said softly, "Would you like to sit down?"

Guan Xinyue shook her head, brushed her trembling fingers over her temple hair, and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm fine, I have to figure this out. Even if I really don't remember these things in the future, I have to go to the end."

Roach looked at her, his worry was palpable, "I will never..."

Guan Xinyue laughed nervously, but quickly suppressed it, made a grimace, and took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions.She stretched out her hand tentatively, and finally landed on Roach's shoulder, and took another deep breath. Somehow, being close to Roach made it easier for her to find her calm.

She raised her thin eyebrows and joked, "My grandpa said not to listen to boys swear."

Roach grinned, "Your grandfather must have succeeded."

"Maybe." Guan Xinyue smiled and thought of something, "Maybe my grandma was tricked by him. After all, my grandma divorced for him, and he was not young at that time. You say...he can detect To someone else's idea?"

"You mean..." Roach felt uncomfortable in his stomach, "No."

Guan Xinyue looked at him a little strangely, "Why do you react so strongly? If he changed my grandma's mind and made her fall in love with him, it would be fine, because grandpa is very, very good to grandma. Not often Some people say that the one who deceives others for a while is a jerk, but the one who deceives others forever is a lover?"

"You may not take it seriously." Roach whispered, "Invading someone's mind is already the most unforgivable violation. It would be too much to distort a person's mind and change her preferences, you Call your grandpa like a rapist."

Guan Xinyue was taken aback.

Roach continued, "Think about it, your privacy and your secret fantasies may be exposed to outsiders. How does that feel? What you love and what you hate are all involuntary, so do you still exist? ?”

"You're right." Guan Xinyue understood, and then thought of something, "Du Zhengyi said that my grandfather is living in seclusion compared to your world. Is it related to this reason?"

"It's possible. Even in the world of mages, telepaths are not very popular most of the time." Luo Qi wanted to change the subject, and immediately grasped the question, "You said your grandfather made the trap after Lu Chengzhi died. ? Lu Chengzhi is dead, does your grandfather have any enemies?"

"I really don't know." Guan Xinyue said, "At that time, my grandfather's mind was not very clear. My sister told me about the trap. She said that my grandfather might be watching anti-Japanese TV dramas while staying at home. Bewitched, I thought it was wartime and I was busy guarding against imaginary enemies."

Luo Qi has nothing to say, the two sisters of the Guan family may be good at black people.

"Okay." He said, "So far, there are only so many things that can be speculated. I guess Du Zhengyi may know a lot of other information. He may just not know how to put the information together. He came to This may be the key piece of the puzzle.”

He relaxed his whole body, leaned back into the chair, and changed into a comfortable position suitable for waiting for someone.But he was a restless person, he twisted and turned on the chair but couldn't find a comfortable sitting position, so he just jumped up.

"Xinyue, you said that the mistress's family members are all missing too, there should be no one in her family right now?"

Guan Xinyue was still silently sorting out the information she received today, when she heard this, she raised her head and said, "What? You still want to break into the empty door?"

Roach looked at her.

"Isn't it?" Guan Xinyue exclaimed angrily, "You really want to go and see? They must have read it a hundred times!" She felt awkward when she thought of that man's home.

"What does that matter? Anyway, aren't we idle now?"

Guan Xinyue sighed. Looking at Luo Qi's unusually bright eyes, she knew that she had been persuaded again.

Across the wall, the courtyard of the temple is very lively. Those who offer incense, make wishes, release lives, accumulate virtue, believers, temple bastards, and young monks in the temple are diligently responding to the people in the secular world.

More than an hour ago, there was a master chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and Du Zhengyi and Zhao Zhiyan were qualified to enter the hall based on their merit points.

Du Zhengyi just listened to the chanting for an hour. To be honest, he didn't understand a word.Zhao Zhiyan didn't seem to have any experience in listening to the scriptures, but he was very aware of the rhythm inside, and he began to doze off after a while.As soon as Du Zheng became bored, he secretly wondered if Roach knew what was going on here long ago, so he refused to follow. At this moment, he was playing games behind his back, right?

game.The word flashed through his mind again, and Roach made him understand the general principles behind the game.Someone moved that set of integral principles to the temple, and it was at that time that he realized that the mastermind behind all this might be a human being.

He was secretly worried that Zhao Zhiyan's method of dealing with the mad dogs was too hasty, but so far, the people in the village may have said something, but the monks in this temple have always been dull and kind.Du Zhengyi really felt that there was no way to talk about them. From the first time they met, he always felt that the monk was not a living person.He's not saying they're corpse ghosts, they're literally panting.It wasn't until Du Zheng started playing the game Roach gave him that he understood why Roach quickly thought that this was a game mode - they were so much like the NPCs in the game.

They are alive, but not really alive.Or this is the result of spiritual pursuit.Roach seems to have nagged some of the hardships in life, and only a great enlightenment can go all the way. The pursuit of Buddhism is not to escape pain but to endure pain.Du Zhengyi didn't understand very well. Could it be that the purpose of practice is to pursue dullness?

Du Zhengyi was thinking about this, while looking at the master in front of him.At this time, the sutra lectures were over, and Du Zhengyi and Zhao Zhiyan were at the top of the master's separate interview list.
