“That's the story, and my roommate has been so scared lately that she can't sleep. Every day at twelve o'clock, that man's phone call always comes on time. Brother Jiang, what do you think about this matter… … ”
Inside the restaurant, Wang Luxin looked at Jiang Wen cautiously, feeling quite awkward in a way. After all, although the young man in front of her looked about the same age as her, he always addressed her father as a brother. This made Wang Luxin feel like she was facing an elder, making her extremely uncomfortable.
In addition, she had always suspected him of being a fraud before. She never expected to encounter such a terrifying thing today, which really changed her worldview.
Now that she thinks about it, her father was indeed prescient. Compared to her, he was indeed more experienced and had made such a friend in advance. Otherwise, Wang Luxin really wouldn't know what to do when the time came.
In the past few days, her mobile phone would also ring at twelve o'clock. Wang Luxin was so scared that she didn't dare to go out at night these days, for fear of encountering something dirty.
“I have roughly understood your experience.” Jiang Wen nodded and said to Wang Luxin.
Listening to her say this, this ghost should be a伥 ghost (a ghost that lures people to its master). After all, being able to use the current internet to engage in online dating scams, this ghost is really keeping up with the times.
Presumably, there should also be something behind it that has been supporting its resentment, giving it the motivation to find victimized targets on the internet.
“As long as you wear my amulet properly, this ghost won’t be able to do anything to you.” Jiang Wen tapped the table, looking at the street scene outside the window. It was broad daylight at the moment, and the midday sun was really strong, causing passers-by to avoid it.
However, Jiang Wen felt that the sky in Yun Du was always a bit abnormal, as if something was stirring.
It seems that after the spiritual veins of the present world began to become active, the speed at which certain things become active has also become more frequent.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wen looked at Wang Luxin: “Bring your roommate out tonight, and I will help you solve this matter then.”
“Okay!” Wang Luxin nodded quickly, fearing that the other party would go back on his word if she was late. “My roommate is quite introverted, so please be considerate, Brother Jiang, and don't be angry.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not a petty person.” Jiang Wen couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He had always felt that Wang Luxin had a big opinion of him. He thought that she must have thought he was a fraud, which is why she treated him like this.
However, Jiang Wen didn't have any objections. After all, before encountering some things, he also thought the same way. Only after experiencing various things did he understand the vastness of the world and the existence of all kinds of wonders. Even the story of Zhang Tianshi was actually true, and the ancient book written by Zhang Tianshi was still on him.
Jiang Wen felt that he should find a time to return this technique, which belonged to the orthodox cultivation technique of Longhu Mountain, to Longhu Mountain. After all, it was the item of their ancestor, and it was useless for him to keep it in his hands. It would be better to do a favor and return it to Longhu Mountain.
After speaking, Jiang Wen saw Wang Luxin sitting opposite him a little awkwardly. She wanted to say something but hesitated, opening and closing her mouth, and finally lowered her head to drink coffee.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Wen understood. He took out a few amulets from his arms and handed them to Wang Luxin, saying, “You must have lost my amulet, right? Here are a few for you, and give one to each of your roommates. Lest you be contaminated with resentment and attract some strange things.”
Wang Luxin quickly accepted the amulets, and then looked at Jiang Wen very ashamed: “Brother Jiang, I'm sorry. I always thought you were a fraud. So when my dad gave me the amulet, I threw it away. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you.”
“It doesn't matter, it's just an amulet.” Jiang Wen smiled indifferently. “It’s good not to believe in ghosts and gods. After all, if you don’t deliberately come into contact with these things, you won’t have much interaction with them.”
“Okay! Thank you, Brother Jiang.” Wang Luxin said gratefully.
She looked at the food on the table, and Jiang Wen had unknowingly eaten most of it. The remaining bit of residue didn't look edible either. Without thinking, Wang Luxin ordered a few more dishes.
After eating and drinking enough, Wang Luxin paid the bill early. Then, she walked out of the restaurant with Jiang Wen, stretching her muscles and bones with a happy mood.
These days had really scared her, and she couldn't sleep peacefully at night. Although the people in the dormitory didn't know about this, Wang Luxin always felt that the thing would find the other people in the dormitory sooner or later.
And Li Jiayi's situation was even more serious. She had been suffering from insomnia these days, and even developed mobile phone phobia. She didn't dare to touch her mobile phone now, for fear of hearing the ringtone.
It's just that people can't leave their mobile phones now. Whether it's for contacting people or understanding world news, mobile phones are essential.
Wang Luxin was sure that if another ten days and a half passed, Li Jiayi would probably suffer from mental illness.
Now that Jiang Wen had come, she could relax. After all, she had heard from her father that Jiang Wen was a person who could only be befriended but not offended. It was never wrong to befriend a capable person like him with the most friendly attitude. Moreover, Jiang Wen was upright, handsome, and talented. Even if he wasn't a Taoist priest, Wang Sheng would be willing to associate with him.
In the end, she was still too young. Wang Luxin thought so.
The two chose a private house as a meeting place, and Jiang Wen asked Wang Luxin to bring her roommate here. As for the other things, he would take care of them.
After Wang Luxin left, Jiang Wen looked around the homestay. It was a large independent courtyard, which should have been a detached villa many years ago. It's just that the years were a bit long, and it looked a bit old. Many of the furniture were modeled after the style of the 1960s, giving people a unique feeling.
Because it was a detached villa, the rent was relatively high. Not many people usually rented here. Wang Luxin directly paid a month's rent online. This amount of money was nothing to her, but it made the landlord very happy.
He enthusiastically greeted Jiang Wen on the phone, saying that he could look for him if there was any trouble.
Jiang Wen walked around the room, and was a little surprised when he looked at a corner. He saw a black and white group photo, and he was very familiar with the people in the photo.
He had seen that face many times when he was a child, but later he never saw it again for some reason. He didn't expect to see it here today, which rekindled his memory.
Reaching out to pick up the photo, Jiang Wen sighed after looking at it for a while: “So you’re here.”
