Chapter 54: You don’t have an account anyways!

Although the Xuanmen village case had been resolved, the incident’s aftermath was far from complete.
The fragmented space created by the little childe still existed, but it had become highly fragile and unstable as a result of the loss of its power source. For ordinary people, the existence of such a fragmented space was perilous.
Furthermore, the untimely death of a teacher and four students from a major university would undoubtedly cause an uproar among the public. No matter how rational the explanations were, the parents and children would refuse to calm down easily, and they would profusely reject any explanation for this incident.
However, three lives were saved.
The strange phenomena had been witnessed by Pan Xiaoyun, Liu Lingling, and Huang Lan. It was really tough to get the three youngsters to work together on their performance.
Fortunately, these were minor problems that didn’t require Bei Quan to worry about.
He instructed Tian Jia Xin to give the three students some compressed biscuits laden with certain secret ingredients, and then made a call using Wei Fuyuan’s phone.
A search and rescue crew arrived about an hour later to pick up the three unconscious students.
An uncle with a beard led the search and rescue squad.
This man was around forty-five years old, with furrowed brows and a serious face. A half-finger-long scar on his right brow bone added bonus points to his intimidating appearance.
The uncle and Bei Quan exchanged a few words like a secret code.
Uncle Hu, “Special Seven Field Service.”
Bei Quan, “The Secret Realm of Zhuling.”
Then, like in espionage movies after a successful operation, they both smiled discreetly and? shook hands.
“Thank you for the hard work.”
Uncle Hu patted Bei Quan on the shoulder, “Leave the rest to us, we will handle it.”
Bei Quan was not at all polite. He left the mess without saying anything, got into the car with Wei Fuyuan and Tian Jia Xin, and drove away from Xuanmen village.
On the way, Wei Fuyuan, who was in charge of driving, couldn’t help but wonder if the remains of the teacher and students who died in the fragmented space could be removed and what would happen to them once they were actually retrieved.
Bei Quan paused for a moment before responding that bringing out the complete body should not be an issue as long as he was careful while demolishing the fragmented space.
To devise a legitimate and acceptable justification for these people’s bizarre deaths was the headache of the ‘Special Seven’ team members who were in charge of the aftermath.
“Fortunately, this kind of trouble never comes to me.”
Bei Quan reclined in the front passenger seat, dragged out his reply and said, “The Special Seven team in this field, on the other hand, are professionals. It’s appropriate to let them handle this mess.”
Wei Fuyuan wanted to know what the entire name of ‘Special Seven’ was and what their necessary credentials were.
But then he remembered that ‘curiosity kills the cat’, and that it was better to know less about what you mustn’t know, so he buried his curiosity and moved on to another question.
“What about Pan Xiaoyun and the three of them?” He asked, “If they tell others what they have experienced in the past few days, won’t you be in trouble?”
Bei Quan smiled.
Along with staying up all night, he had also spent a great deal of mental and physical energy to cast many spells. Now he was a little sleepy as the car bumped on the rocky mountain road.
“Don’t worry, they will soon forget…”
Bei Quan answered vaguely, leaning his head against the window and closing his eyes.
Wei Fuyuan observed that Bei Quan’s voice was not quite right. He slowed down and quickly turned his head to look at his boss.
He discovered that Bei Quan’s previously very white complexion had lost all trace of blood, and the original pale lips had turned somewhat blue. His entire body appeared to be made of translucent glass, as if it would break if not handled with proper care.
Wei Fuyuan’s heart sank suddenly, and he unknowingly felt an unspeakable heartache.
He suddenly realized that Bei Quan used his own blood every time he painted a talisman!
Bei Quan didn’t seem like someone whose body could produce blood quickly. It would be more surprising if he wasn’t anemic after using his own blood so often!
The more Wei Fuyuan thought about it, the more worried he became. He also forgot the problem he was still struggling with just now.
“All right, all right, I see.”
He said worriedly, “There’s still some time before we go down the mountain. Please rest for a while.”
Bei Quan opened his eyes and glanced at him, “Are you sure you won’t take the wrong route?”
Wei Fuyuan was so angry that he wanted to beat someone, his heart was really kind to be a donkey liver and lungs.
T/N- Kindly made donkey liver and lungs, as the saying goes, the pronunciation is hǎo xīn zuò le lǘ gān fèi, which means to treat good intentions as bad intentions.
“I have an excellent sense of direction. I can’t go wrong if I’ve already walked the place before!”
Then he turned the steering wheel to the right and turned the car to the mountain road on the right, “In short, you can rest assured and go to sleep.”
After listening to Wei Fuyuan’s words, Bei Quan didn’t insist any further. He only told him to “drive slowly, don’t worry, you still have five days of vacation left”. He closed his eyes, leaned his head against the soft foam of the seat, and drifted off peacefully.
—————————
As Bei Quan and Wei Fuyuan suspected, the disappearance of teacher and students in Xuanmen village had been widely publicized.
The rescue crew revealed on an early Sunday morning, June 6, that the missing teacher and students had been discovered. Five persons were declared dead. Fortunately, the three survivors were unharmed and were immediately taken to the nearest hospital.
The official reason for the deaths of the missing crew was that the teacher and students drove along the incorrect route through the mountains. The car ran out of oil on the way back and they coincidentally stopped where the cell phone had no coverage, so they stepped out of the car and wanted to seek help on foot.
Unexpectedly, they went deeper and deeper into the vast mountains and forests. In the end, they lost their way and unfortunately fell off a cliff, which led to this tragedy of the death of five people.
The news said nothing about the Xuanmen village instead, blaming the accident completely on the unknown mountain and poor forest road conditions.
As soon as the news broke out, the Internet was flooded with comments.
Those who alleged that the team leader teacher was negligent to have inadequate self-help skills, lack of field survival skills, confusing road signs, bad management of scenic areas, and even went as far to chastise China Telecom and China Mobile Unicom for being unreliable.
However, in face of the deliberate cover up of ‘special Seven’ and the collective silence of the rescued parties, not many people seriously thought in the direction of a ‘haunting’.
After topping the hot search all day, this announcement was like countless hot spots of current affairs, submerged in other fresher and more powerful news.
But Wei Fuyuan was flustered when he thought about the real truth of the case.
——Luosen, who was killed by the hands of a ghost for his selfish desires, would never get a fair trial. Teacher Song, who cheated on his marriage, had an affair and pushed his lover to death, also died and escaped the condemnation of moral justice.
After dinner that day, when Bei Quan learned of Wei Fuyuan’s entanglement, he decided to comfort this stupid boy for more such cases in the future.
“Come on.”
Bei Quan sat on the sofa in Ge You\'s paralyzed posture, waved to Wei Fuyuan, and blinked his eyes cunningly. “I’ll show you something fun.”
The tone of his voice was too much like a stranger who abducted children to watch goldfish. The words ‘fun thing’ inexplicably had some strange ambiguity in them. Wei Fuyuan’s thoughts suddenly went out of control.
“What do you want?”
Young Master Wei’s ears turned red. He slowly moved over and sat next to Bei Quan.
Bei Quan spread his hand to him, “Quick, give me your cell phone.”
Wei Fuyuan took out his mobile phone, unlocked the screen, and handed it over.
Bei Quan buried himself in the mobile phone and typed for a while. Wei Fuyuan leaned over once again and found that there was a strange app he had never seen on the screen.
“Usually, I never let ordinary people see it.”
Bei Quan clicked on the app, entered the search bar, typed in the word ‘Song Qi’, and pressed the search button.
A row of lists popped up on the screen, Bei Quan lightly tapped twice in the upper right corner of the screen.
Wei Fuyuan saw that he had pressed the option ‘Organise in reverse order of death time’.
Young Master Wei: “???”
Bei Quan, “I found it. Look.”
He returned the cell phone to Wei Fuyuan.
On the screen, a video was playing, and the playing interface was very much like a live broadcast on a certain fish.
On the screen, a man was naked, with a lot of thorns wrapped on his back. He was being driven around by a group of little ghosts with blue faces and fangs like imps, stepping on knives all over the floor and painfully walking forward one step at a time.
Wei Fuyuan knew this man.
It was Song Qi, the teacher he had met in Dong Chaoyang’s memory not long ago.
It’s only that, in comparison to the always well-dressed Teacher Song, the man in the video had very little skin on his exposed upper torso. His entire body was covered in bloodstains inflicted by the thorny whip lashed by the spirits from time to time.
His shoes and socks were long gone, and the blades spiked all over the mountains reflected the harshness of the road in the light of the torch. Every stride Song Qi made left soaking brilliant crimson blood on the blades.
Wei Fuyuan swallowed his saliva and subconsciously looked away from the mobile phone screen.
“This… What is this?”
“Yin Cao live room.”
Bei Quan smiled and replied, “The new business opened by the underground government can track the current situation of a dead soul in real time.” This could save him a lot of trouble with things like contacting spirits, holding seances and fortune-telling.
He smiled at Wei Fuyuan, “This is the same thing I showed you earlier. But I don’t know the names of all those people in Xuanmen village. I can only search according to the region and the approximate time of death.”
“Fortunately, they only murdered and committed a few felony crimes. The prison terms are calculated by hundreds of millions of years. It’s very easy to find.”
Wei Fuyuan: “…”
—— This thing actually turned out to be real!
—— Bei Quan really didn’t deceive the little child who didn’t understand modern technology with his nonsense!
He thought and then asked, “What about… Luosen?”
“His soul was collected in the Lost God Banner with the Hui Gui. I am not sure whether he can get punished like Song Qi or the others.”
Wei Fuyuan gave an ‘Oh’.
“Then… I mean, what happened to my cell phone when I was in the fragmented space?”
After he got sucked into the fragmented space, he touched and fumbled around his pocket, but he never saw his mobile phone again.
“Oh, I ‘drew’ that ‘mobile phone’ temporarily.”
Bei Quan stretched his hands, “Of course, the performance can’t be compared with that of a real mobile phone. Showcasing a live broadcast room is already the limit.”
Wei Fuyuan: “…”
He looked down at his mobile phone again. On the screen, Song Qi was still climbing the limitless knife mountain.
“This app, can I keep it?”
“What’s the use of keeping it?”
Bei Quan seemed to find his assistant’s request a little amusing, “You don’t have an account anyways!”
