My head was buzzing, and my thoughts were as tangled as a mess.
This familiar handwriting, tone.
Is it not Wei Youming?
Two selves?
Vice Dean Liu?
Who are you referring to...?
He was about to approach me, so I alertly raised my head, conveniently picking up the paper and keeping the content hidden from his view.
"Where is Tang Su?" I asked in a low voice.
"He should be in his office area?" Hehong was clearly aware of my attitude, so he stopped and did not get any closer.
"Lead me to find him," I said in a deep voice.
At this moment, I have an idea.
The soul that was separated from the head could also be considered his.
The thread of soul that was pulled into the mental hospital earlier is also me.
The memories of the past are connected and can be considered another self completely.
So, Wei Youming... is also a thread of separated soul!
Just that this thread of soul of his needs all three objects he relies on to gather and be condensed into one person.
Otherwise, if used individually, or two objects at a time, they could affect the user, perhaps taking a stray soul of the user's.
I suspect that this is how Wei Youming intends to try to leave the hospital.
By using the method of extracting the soul with the host objects and luring an outsider's soul into the hospital, he might be trying to forcibly seize the body.
At this moment, "Wei Youming, although only a part of his soul, he still has independent thinking and the ability to weigh the pros and cons."
He even doesn't want to return to the hospital, because there is a prohibition!
And there's the Vice Dean, Lao Liu, who keeps wanting to lock him up!
In the end, he still decided to go back...
More than just returning.
I think there's a high probability that what he's referring to as 'you' is actually 'me'.
Treatment?
I sneered at him, he was just eyeing my current body.
Back when he was on the sixth floor, his purpose was already unmistakable. Does this thread of soul still need to be pretending to be dignified?
What kind of illness could I have?
Thoughts on that, out of the passage from the leading office, into another channel.
This is wider than that of the leader, with several rooms. People keep coming out and entering another room, everyone in a hurry.
Walking to the central door, He Dong reached out to knock on it.
Then the door opened, a tall woman with a thin build, short hair, and glasses, who appeared sharp.
"Where is Tang Su?" He Dong reached out to intercept the woman, glancing inside the room with his eyes.
My eyes have already gone inside, there are many computers in the room, and there are many files on the desk.
There are several people busy, but I didn't see Tang Su.
That's why, Guangsi's message came so quickly. There are so many people in this investigation department, and it's not fast enough. That's strange.
"Old Tang just left. The leading office personally called, asking Old Tang to report on the investigation. Yes, Mr. Yang specially advised, we must find that person at the fastest speed. Old Tang sealed all the archives and took them over there." The woman answered while looking at me with slightly icicle eyes.
My face changed again, and I asked further, "How long has he been gone?"
"Before dawn, Tang found the information and reported it to Mr. Yang. He should have come to find you, but the leading office called him away quickly." The woman showed slight impatience and said to He Dong again: "We still have work to do. Please don't let irrelevant people enter the investigation department, Mr. He. Don't you remember the rules?"
He Dong shook his head quickly. He seemed to be a little afraid, indicating me to go.
"I need the information Tang Su has investigated, as well as all the contact with Tang Su, to have him come back." Without time to think further, I said in a deep voice again.
The woman looked at me like I was an idiot, and said, "This is confidential information, and besides, Tang Su has taken the only archive to see the leader."
"What is your identity? Why are you trying to command the leading office?"
After she said this, she turned and walked away.
He Dong whispered to me to go out first.
I furrowed my brows, ready to speak but then stopped.
Indeed... everyone's jealousy of my convenience in Guangsi is all because of Mr. Yang and the leader's "care".
My current demands are clearly contrary to the leader's wishes.
And I could never say that the leader is just a thread of soul, now controlled by others.
Then the previously stable situation would be disrupted again!
And even more people would clap and cheer, throw stones at me.
Tang Su was called away...
This also involves another crucial person... Chen Jun!
The three objects that carry his essence, all flowed from Chen Jun.
Could Chen Jun be the first person to be controlled?
Tang Su investigated Chen Jun, and the leading office called Tang Su away... Therefore, there must be an inseparable connection between Chen Jun and Wei Youming!
"Lu Xianshen?" He Dong prompted me again.
At this moment, there were two or three people standing at the doors of five or six rooms on either side, all with cold eyes watching me, brimming with vigilance.
I didn't speak and left the investigation department.
He Dong was behind me, and as soon as he came out, there was a loud thud, the door slammed shut.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said in a low voice, "There's nothing to do now, just wait until the leader comes back or Mr. Yang notifies you. I'm going to rest; there's still a task after dark."
After he finished speaking, I reached out to stop him and asked for Tang Su's phone number.
He Dong reluctantly gave me the number after I left Guangsi. I left the high-rise area through the garage.
During that time, I called Tang Su, but the phone kept showing out of service area.
My heart cooled down half a measure.
Tang Su was called away before dawn, and he's probably done.
Now it's daytime, and that thread of Wei Youming's soul can't cause mischief, yet I can't find their trace...
Wait until nightfall... I'm afraid there won't be any more opportunities for leeway.
The sun was very glaring, but my limbs grew colder and colder.
The phone suddenly started to vibrate.
I suddenly woke up, took out my phone.
But it was not Tang Su as I had expected, but Zhang Gu.
After a brief pause, I pressed the answer button.
"Lu brother?" Zhang Gu's hesitant voice came through the phone.
"Brother Zhang, what's the matter?" I kept my tone as even as possible.
"Guangsi, supervision, and Chenghuangmiao have united to take action. Is it for the plague ghost?"
Zhang Gu wasn't just hesitant; there was also a hint of excitement.
My body felt numb.
Where did Zhang Gu get the news from?
Did someone from Guangsi leak the information?
It's not surprising for me to think that, because the Guangsi organization seems to be the most un united one.
"Brother Lu did not deny or admit it, which means it's true! It's really the plague ghost!?"
My heart sank again.
Zhang Gu asked me, undoubtedly wanting to add another layer of weight to further confirm the accuracy of the information.
They already have the answer, and no matter how I react, it won't change anything.
"I'm not sure if it's the plague ghost, but it may be related." I answered in a voiceless whisper.
"If it's not the plague ghost, it could be either one of the twenty-eight prisons, or at the very least, one of the five ghosts. Is that right?" Zhang Gu continued.
I remained silent for two seconds, and then replied in a vague manner, "Hmm."
Then Zhang Gu said, "Brother Luo, there's an invitation from above for you. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if I had asked you, it wouldn't count as an invitation. The invitation from above has significant benefits."
"We know that you were involved in this action and want the information from your body."
"As long as you agree, you will have a different status in the Ghost Shrine!"
Zhang Gu's tone was filled with temptation, and there was also a hint of envy.
"I know that you are a person who keeps his word. The secrecy of this matter was not exposed by you, and the Ghost Shrine has reliable information channels. You don't need to worry in your heart."
"And Guangsi can give you something, and so can the Ghost Shrine. As for supervision, it's certainly making you white-watch effort, not opposing you is good enough. Working with them brings no benefits or prospects." Zhang Gu's persuasion was more intense.
For a moment, I didn't say anything.
This is also a disadvantage for me.
If I refuse Zhang Gu again, it will stagnate between the Ghost Shrine and me.
After all, my previous attitude was about whether to join.
Now that the benefits are presented in front of me, yet I remain indifferent, they will definitely sense something wrong.
Just when my heart was in turmoil, not knowing how to decide.
Suddenly, I thought of something else!
"Brother Zhang, where are you? I'll come find you." I opened my mouth in a deep voice.
There was a pause on the phone, then Zhang Gu immediately told me an address. He also said that he would bring the people from above and wait for me with respect.
I was about to say a few more polite words before hanging up the phone.
My thoughts suddenly wandered off.
My pupils constricted slightly, and I said, "Brother Zhang, let's change it. I'll give you an address. You come to find me. How about that?"
"By the way, for the time being, just you come by yourself," I added.
