Gu Xizhou snapped out of his daze. He had no time to pay attention to the chaotic situation at the entrance of the police station. Two policemen were asking if they were injured. Fang Zhi instinctively hid the small round mirror in his pocket.
Gu Xizhou waved his hand as he listened. "We're fine. Take her away."
"Chief Gu, are we not going to press charges?" One of the policemen asked softly. Gu Xizhou's gaze fell on Fang Zhi. Fang Zhi's face turned pale and he shook his head with difficulty.
Gu Xizhou replied, "No, take her to the prosecutor's office."
"Okay, Chief Gu."
The policemen at the entrance escorted Yan Li away. Gu Xizhou's gaze fell on Fang Zhi again.
"You can bring this thing out?" After the people around them left, Fang Zhi held the mirror in his hand and asked, "What if it breaks accidentally?"
Si Yu asked, "Did Lin Meng give it to you?"
Fang Zhi nodded and told Si Yu what had happened before he and Brother Lei went to the room.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Si Yu laughed angrily. "I didn't expect you to get such a good deal."
"There's a small chance of this happening in the mission world. Receiving a gift from a character in the mission world can be brought into the real world. These things have no special effects in the real world, but they have special effects in the supernatural world. A gift is essentially a tool." Si Yu sighed. "I've only heard of this situation, but I've never seen it before."
"The one I heard is different from your mirror. That person received a camera. This camera can take two pictures in the mission world. The pictures can show everyone's original form. It's similar to Lin Meng's painting."
"As for your mirror, although I don't know what it's used for, I think it has something to do with the mirror world. Remember to bring it with you. Remember, this thing will give you an advantage over others, but it's definitely not omnipotent."
"This …" Fang Zhi was a little stunned. He nodded hurriedly and thanked Si Yu.
Gu Xizhou's gaze landed on Si Yu. This gigolo's heart must be bleeding. At that time, Si Yu was the first to figure it out. He only figured it out when Si Yu asked Fang Zhi to look for Lin Meng. It had to be said that this gigolo was really smart.
"Some people always say that they are lucky, but in the end, they are not as lucky as our Xiao Fang," Gu Xizhou teased.
Si Yu replied, "It depends on the person …"
Gu Xizhou: "?"
"Not everyone gives Lin Meng a mirror in return," Si Yu said stubbornly. "Lin Meng likes him. That's why she gave him this."
Fang Zhi: "???" Don't scare me! That's not what I meant.
Si Yu said helplessly, "Do you remember the first day? Lin Meng's dress was exposed. Fang Zhi told her to wear a long dress to prevent that from happening. Also, Fang Zhi was the one who helped Lin Meng carry the painting materials on her first day at the reservoir. "
"If you or I gave her a mirror, she wouldn't give us a gift in return."
Gu Xizhou: "… Then the next time I go in, I'll learn from Fang Zhi and try to make the NPC like me!"
"I think you're courting death." Si Yu pointed at Fang Zhi. "This guy hit the jackpot."
His gaze landed on Gu Xizhou again. He said calmly, "Be careful. You'll die faster if you try to make the NPC like you."
Gu Xizhou smiled and said to Si Yu, "Then I won't do it. It doesn't matter if I do it or not. Little Si, let's exchange contacts."
Si Yu's scalp went numb when he heard this. He had a bad premonition. "What do you want?"
Gu Xizhou looked at him and blinked. "Fang Zhi and I are both newbies. We have a lot of things to ask you. It's convenient to have a phone number."
"Why?" Si Yu asked.
Gu Xizhou looked wronged. "If the glass in your company didn't fall off, how would I have entered the mission world? You're responsible for this! "
Fang Zhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Yes, yes, yes! That's right. Gu Ge almost died that day! "
Si Yu: "Didn't I help you?"
"No, you told me that as long as I successfully left the mission world, I would be able to leave alive even if you didn't help me!" Gu Xizhou grinned.
Si Yu: "…" I shouldn't have told you!
Gu Xizhou: "You have to take full responsibility for me entering the mission world!"
Si Yu: "…" You're so shameless!
In the end, Si Yu nodded with a headache after the two of them echoed each other. He exchanged numbers with Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi turned to look at Si Yu's back as he walked away. He asked Gu Xizhou, "Gu Ge, are we really going to work with Si Ge in the future?"
"Of course," Gu Xizhou said.
"But …" Fang Zhi was a little hesitant.
Gu Xizhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "One can't rely on another for a lifetime. I said that we should let him lead us because we have experienced too little of the world and are inexperienced. He's not good at anything else, but he's really smart."
Fang Zhi nodded. When he was listening to Si Yu explain the rules of the previous mission world to him, he was a little dazed. There were many things that he grasped at the edges of, but if it wasn't for that sentence that woke him up, he would have remained in a state of bewilderment.
"If we follow him, we can quickly adapt to the rules of the mission world. Once we have more experience, we won't have a problem even without him." Gu Xizhou said faintly. The reason why he wanted to blame Si Yu was entirely because of the rule in the last mission world, "If the mirror breaks, the person dies." He was afraid that he would not understand it at the moment and trigger this strange death condition. If that happened, he would really die.
The ghosts in the mission world posed no threat to him, but the rules of the mission world were invisible. Furthermore, there was a force stronger than the ghosts in the mission world. He was stopped by this force many times, and he couldn't kill the monster directly.
The two walked up the stairs. Gu Xizhou turned to look at Fang Zhi. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "When you left the door, did you hear a strange sound?"
Fang Zhi was confused. "No, Gu Ge, did you hear anything?"
"Forget it, it's time to go to work." Gu Xizhou realized that no one could hear the strange sound. He had asked everyone in the previous mission world, and no one had heard anything.
At that moment, Fang Zhi's phone rang. He took out his antique phone from his bag and pressed it for a while. He replied to the message and turned to Gu Xizhou. "Gu Ge, do you still remember what you promised me last week?"
Gu Xizhou: "…" No, I don't remember. I don't even know what it is!
He really doesn't know what the original owner promised you!
Gu Xizhou was about to say something, thinking about how to pretend that he had forgotten and ask Fang Zhi to repeat it. Fang Zhi smiled.
"The police station has been too busy recently. It's normal for Gu Ge to forget," Fang Zhi continued. "You've been too tired recently. I'll send my sister to school myself!"
Gu Xizhou heard Fang Zhi mention his sister and asked a few more questions. It turned out that Fang Zhi's sister had just finished her long vacation. She didn't bring many things back to school this time. It was inconvenient for her to take a long-distance bus, so last week, Fang Zhi asked the original owner to drive his sister to school.
Gu Xizhou heard this and rubbed his forehead. He said to Fang Zhi, "I've been too busy these past few days and forgot about it. No problem. What time are we leaving tomorrow?"
Fang Zhi looked at his phone. "Nine in the morning. It'll be around eleven or twelve when we reach her school. I'll treat you to lunch."
"Okay." Gu Xizhou patted his shoulder.
"Thank you, Gu Ge." Fang Zhi scratched his head embarrassedly. He was a newcomer and was supposed to do odd jobs for the captain. If he knew how to drive, he could ask Gu Ge to lend him a car. But he didn't know how to drive … He asked Gu Ge for help. Gu Ge not only lent him a car, but also agreed to send him and his sister to school.
There was nothing going on at the police station that day. They didn't receive any strange murder reports. Gu Xizhou got off work early and went home.
When he reached home, he subconsciously looked at the post-it note on the back of the door to see if there was anything strange. Sure enough —
The post-it note said, "Send Xiao Fang's sister to school tomorrow. Don't forget."
Gu Xizhou: "…" You remember it quite clearly …
Then Gu Xizhou saw that there was another sentence below. "Xiao Fang doesn't have it easy. Don't eat anything too expensive when he's treating."
Gu Xizhou pursed his lips. "…" You really miss your subordinate. You won't forget him even after he dies.
"You only remember that others don't have it easy. Why don't you think it's hard for me …" Gu Xizhou took out his wallet and said, "Look, my wallet is empty."
Gu Xizhou: "I don't even know the passwords for my bank cards, WeChat, and Alipay. My hard-earned salary is still in my card. Pity me!"
"…"
"Also, tell me, where did you get that array to summon me here?"
"Hey, don't play dead!"
"…"
Gu Xizhou's mouth was dry from talking, but no one paid him any attention. He said helplessly, "Bro, say something!"
"…"
Gu Xizhou nagged in the empty room for a long time. Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention. In the end, he was bored.
The next day, Gu Xizhou woke up early in the morning. He rushed to the door and the corner of his mouth twitched.
There was a new post-it note behind the door. There was a string of numbers on it. There was a note behind the numbers: "This is the password for all cards. Don't forget what I said.
Gu Xizhou: "…"
Gu Xizhou went downstairs and drove to Fang Zhi's neighborhood according to the address Fang Zhi gave him. It was an old neighborhood in the suburbs of Ningqing City. It was at least an hour and a half's drive from here to the Jinluo Police Station. It was quite far.
Gu Xizhou parked the car and called Fang Zhi to come downstairs.
"I'm downstairs. Do you have a lot of things? I'll come up and help you carry them. "
Fang Zhi said on the other end of the phone, "It's okay. Gu Ge, just wait for us in the car. We'll come down right away!"
Gu Xizhou heard someone knocking on the window. Fang Zhi was half-bent over with a big bag in his hand. There was a girl behind him. The girl was wearing a faded denim skirt. She didn't have any makeup on and was quite pretty. She hid behind her brother shyly.
Gu Xizhou opened the car door and said, "The trunk is open. Put the things in the car."
"Okay, thank you, Gu Ge!" Fang Zhi put the things down and introduced his sister to Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou heard the siblings' names and smiled. "Interesting names."
Fang Zhi said helplessly, "We quarreled a lot because of our names. We have the same pronunciation but different characters. We don't even know who we're calling."
Fang Zhi sat in the backseat and thanked Gu Xizhou politely. "Thank you, Gu Ge."
Gu Xizhou waved his hand. "You're welcome. Fasten your seatbelt."
After that, Gu Xizhou drove the three of them onto the highway and headed to Fang Zhi's university.
Xijing University.
Gu Xizhou drove fast and arrived at the university in two and a half hours. He helped Fang Zhi and his sister move their luggage to the dormitory building.
"Fang Zhi, who's the big brother who accompanied you here?" a girl in the dormitory asked softly.
"He's so manly!"
It was unknown who said it in a low voice.
Fang Zhi played around with his roommates and finally told them that this was his brother's leader. "Gu Ge is the captain of the criminal police."
"Wow, a criminal police officer!" a few girls exclaimed. "He's good-looking too."
"He's so manly!"
Probably because of their profession, the girls peeked at Gu Xizhou downstairs and blushed.
When Fang Zhi came down, she brought Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi to a small street behind the university. The street was full of food. The food was delicious and not expensive. Students like them were regulars here.
Fang Zhi looked at the two restaurants. Both of them tasted similar. One of them was more expensive but had a better environment. She hesitated and touched her wallet. Just as she was about to enter the more expensive restaurant, Gu Xizhou turned around and sat down next door. "Let's eat here. There are too many people over there. I'm too lazy to wait."
"Okay." Fang Zhi smiled and sat down.
After ordering a few dishes, Gu Xizhou ate. He didn't fight with Fang Zhi for payment as usual. Instead, he quietly watched Fang Zhi and his sister fight for payment. In the end, it was Fang Zhi who convinced his sister.
The siblings definitely had something to say. Gu Xizhou didn't rush them. He walked behind them and slowly admired the scenery around Xijing University. At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance. There were circles of people talking in low voices.
He pushed through the crowd to take a look.
"Come home with me!" a man in his twenties said angrily.
A young girl on the ground hugged the streetlight tightly and said to the onlookers, "Help, I don't know him. I'm not his wife!"
When the young man heard this, he was so angry that he slapped the woman. "The child is not even half a year old. How can you be so cruel? What's so good about that wild man? "
The woman who was slapped cried and didn't want the man to drag her away. She cried and said, "You're not. I'm not married at all. My name is Wu Xiaoxiu. I'm a student at Xijing University. I don't know him. He's a human trafficker. He wants to kidnap me and sell me!"
The onlookers discussed animatedly.
"Sister, it's so pitiful to leave the child behind. Let's go home."
"Hey … You can't say that. Maybe this man is a human trafficker? That's what the news said. These are the usual tricks! "
Hearing this, the man was obviously panicking.
"What are you talking about? You're slandering me! " The young man's eyes were red. He angrily grabbed Wu Xiaoxiu's hair and wanted to hit her. At this moment, a man and a woman came out from the crowd to stop the man.
The middle-aged woman protected Wu Xiaoxiu in her arms, while the middle-aged man beside her grabbed the young man's hand and said, "What are you doing?"
"It doesn't matter if she's your wife or a student at the university. You shouldn't hit people!" said the tall man who came out to stop him.
The young man said angrily, "I'm hitting my wife. It's none of your business! Go away. I'm warning you not to meddle in other people's business! "
"Brother, I'm really not his wife. I'm a student at the university!" Wu Xiaoxiu was helped up by the middle-aged woman. She grabbed the tall man and said anxiously, afraid that they would believe her.
The middle-aged woman said to the man, "Hubby, this matter can't be explained clearly. Let's take the two of them to the police station. We'll be able to clear things up at the police station!"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Alright!"
Just as he finished speaking, the unreasonable young man turned around and wanted to escape. How could the onlookers let him escape? The middle-aged man glanced at him. "Ha, you know fear? It seems like the little girl is telling the truth. Let's go and take this human trafficker to the police station! "
The middle-aged man dragged the young man into his van. Then, he said to Wu Xiaoxiu in a local dialect, "Sister, come with me. We'll take him to the police station!"
"Alright!" Wu Xiaoxiu's eyes were filled with tears. She was so excited that she couldn't speak clearly. "I met a good person today. Thank you, Big Brother and Big Sister!"
Soon, Wu Xiaoxiu followed the middle-aged couple into the van. When Fang Zhi saw this scene, he said with some lingering fear, "It's too scary. They actually kidnapped someone at the university entrance! Fortunately, that girl met a good person. "
Gu Xizhou was slightly stunned when he heard this. He looked at the van that had already driven some distance away. He noticed that there were scratches on the license plate of the gray van, and there was a number that couldn't be seen clearly. He and Fang Zhi looked at each other. They knew that this was bad and cursed.
"Chase! Don't let them escape! "
