Eye-opening spell? I heard that Chujiu recited the spell to open the heavenly eye, and I knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, on the roof of the factory building in the corner, a black child figure was sitting on the eaves, dangling his legs in boredom.
"this?"
As soon as Zhang Xuan made a sound in surprise, Chujiu suddenly covered her mouth.
But the movement here was still noticed by the child on the eaves. The child jumped from a sitting position to a standing position, exuding an aura of joy, as if he had discovered something interesting.
Chujiu pressed me and Zhang Xuan against the wall with both hands. He moved his lips slightly and recited a spell that I couldn't understand.
At this moment, I was leaning against the wall and my head was facing the child. The child stared in our direction for a long time, lowering his head in confusion. Then he sat back on the eaves and swayed his legs in boredom again.
Chujiu signaled us to move back some distance against the wall.
We pressed against the wall of the factory building behind us, retreated to the corner, and hid on the other side of the wall.
Just as Chujiu sat on the ground and sighed, Zhang Xuan suddenly took a deep breath, pressed one hand on his temple, arched his body and began to retching.
"Guo Guo, don't worry about sister-in-law Yiyi, she will be fine after a while."
Chujiu saw my face and reached out to help pat Zhang Xuan on the back, but said it was no use.
This was a direct stab to the nerves by that guy. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been unconscious just now.
"What should I do? Is there any way?"
When the child turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan for the first time, I knew in my heart that this matter was very difficult.
Red eyes! The shadow boy has red eyes!
Last year, when we helped the cows deal with the resentful babies in the teacher's apartment, Chujiu clearly told me that if the resentful babies' eyes turn red, they are the infant spirits.
Yingling is one of the most terrifying beings that Chujiu considers. I remember him clearly telling me that even he might not be able to fight.
"I'll go! Isn't this too scary?"
Zhang Xuan finally recovered and breathed in the fresh air. Just one look at her made her dizzy and almost made her lose control.
Then Zhang Xuan asked Chujiu and I why we didn’t have much reaction.
Chujiu answered for two reasons. First, he didn't notice the two of us. Second, because I had been cultivating Qi since I was a child, my spiritual sense was stronger than that of ordinary people.
As for why Chujiu wasn't noticed, Chujiu didn't bother to explain. It was as unnecessary as taking off his pants and farting.
"Perhaps Hongmei has no fear because of the existence of this thing."
Chujiu explained to us that the purpose of this thing is to monitor that no strangers appear within a certain range of the factory.
If an ordinary person appears within that range, he will be discovered by that thing soon, and he will be unable to withstand the direct attack of that thing on his soul and fall into coma.
As for how to deal with him after he is unconscious, this is probably what Hongmei and his gang need to do.
"Does that mean there must be some ulterior secret hidden in this factory?"
Zhang Xuan asked a question that was almost nonsense. After she finished speaking, she even laughed. She was so frightened just now.
"Chujiu, what on earth is that thing?"
Not only Zhang Xuan, but also me was surprised that Chujiu kept claiming that this infant spirit was that thing.
"Guo Guo, have you already thought of it?"
Seeing me nodding slightly, Chujiu nodded and then shook his head.
This thing is what I think, and it is not what I think.
"You two are playing charades? What is this thing and not that thing?"
Zhang Xuan glared at me and Chujiu angrily, asking, "What are you two doing?"
"The name of this thing is the Infant Spirit, but the one in front of you is not the real Infant Spirit. It is just a clone of the Infant Spirit. To be more precise, it is one body and two souls of the Infant Spirit."
Chujiu analyzed that if our comrades were imprisoned in this factory, there is likely to be a more powerful being in the factory.
The best evidence is that Sun Zuojun, who is on the same level as his uncle, has lost contact. If it were just the thing in front of him, Chujiu believed that Sun Zuojun could easily deal with it.
Even if he is a real infant spirit, Sun Zuojun should be able to escape no matter what the situation is, unless...
"Unless what?"
I doubt that my uncle is so powerful unless the other party really has a helper like Ivan Joe.
But when I was in Yunnan last time, Ivan Qiao also said that people at their level would not take action easily, there were too many restrictions, and it was impossible to take action against juniors.
"Unless threatened, give up the struggle."
What Zhang Xuan wanted to say was that it was possible that they captured other comrades first and used them to threaten Sun Zuojun.
This is not unreasonable, but the three of us suddenly felt that there was no way to start the subsequent investigation.
"On the ninth day of the lunar month, I remember that resentful baby during the day..."
I remembered that we were in the teachers' apartment, and the resentful baby would leave our school before dawn.
Chujiu nodded, this is a good idea. This thing will also disappear before dawn. Evil spirits cannot stand the righteousness of Yang.
"If we just wait until dawn before taking action, our identity will inevitably be exposed. If we alert the enemy, will it affect the subsequent missions?"
"Also, what if we don't find any useful clues here?"
"Similarly, our comrades may be imprisoned here, and every minute we delay may be related to their safety."
After Zhang Xuan and Chujiu expressed their thoughts, they both turned to look at me.
In fact, I already had a guess in my mind. According to the results I calculated that day, Sun Zuojun and other comrades were probably imprisoned here.
The results shown by the hexagrams will be beneficial during this time period, which means that the people or things we want to find will have results.
Of course, I cannot guarantee 100%. After all, the time displayed by the hexagrams is a period of eight to nine days, not a specific time.
Coupled with Chujiu's analysis before, if there is someone in the factory who can threaten Chujiu, it will definitely be more gain than loss.
"Guo Guo, please speak. Should you wait or not?"
Facing the urging and expectant looks of Zhang Xuan on the ninth day of the lunar month, I once again recalled the results of my previous calculations.
The results of the hexagram deduction did not reveal any other difficulties.
In other words, whether we act now or wait until dawn, the outcome will be the same.
"On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Yiyi, you are thinking about the value of worrying about what you just said. What is your first thought?"
They both gave me the same answer, so they rushed in and rushed into the factory to see what was going on.
I asked Chujiu if I could avoid the thing he was talking about, and if I could confirm if there were any other unknown threats to us in the factory.
"According to my experience, there should be no other threats in the factory."
Chujiu's basis is that there are Hongmei's subordinates in the factory. If there really is a Yingling-level existence, her subordinates would not dare to stay inside.
