Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

Su Yining suddenly opened her eyes, feeling that they were wet.

Warmth spread throughout my body.

She then realized that Chen Shi was actually holding her.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Chen Shi held her in his arms and gently patted her back.

"It's okay, senior, I'm here."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Yining had woken up.

"Chen Shi? What just happened to me?"

Su Yining then realized that her hands had unconsciously wrapped around Chen Shi's waist, and she quickly let go after realizing what had happened.

"What do you think?" Chen Shi said, both amused and exasperated.

Before her, Su Yining's eyes were red and filled with confusion. Her face was streaked with tears, and she was unconsciously sniffling, like a wronged kitten.

"Alright, alright, stop crying, senior."

Chen Shi reached out and wiped away Su Yining's tears.

"Huh? I didn't cry, who cried?" Su Yining retorted stubbornly, trying to maintain her senior's authority.

His mouth is the only thing that's stubborn about him.

"Okay, okay, you didn't cry."

Chen Shi smiled and asked:

"Did you remember something?"

"Hmm, but something's strange."

Su Yining frowned and recounted all the important memories she had just had.

"Offerings? Sacrifice?"

Chen Shi looked at the severed limbs beside him with a puzzled expression:

"Does this mean using your corpse to create a vengeful spirit?"

"It doesn't seem like it. Can that be called a sacrifice?"

Su Yining muttered:

"I always felt that sacrifice referred to something else."

Chen Shi pondered for a moment, then summarized:

"According to your recollection, you were targeted during high school and were called a sacrifice by the Blossom Society, but you died during your university years."

“That’s right.” Su Yining nodded.

"So it seems you were marked as a sacrifice during high school, and then something happened three years ago that required a sacrifice, which is why someone killed you."

After reviewing the situation, Chen Shi raised another point of doubt:

"And you're saying there's more than one sacrifice?"

"Yes, in the memory, that person said I was one of the sacrifices."

Su Yining tapped her head with her finger, trying to imitate Ikkyu, but unsurprisingly, she still overexerted herself:

"Ugh... Riddler, get off the planet!"

"It's alright, at least I've remembered some other clues."

Chen Shi calmly considered the situation and immediately began to formulate the next plan:

"First, there was the marking, and then three years ago, the 'sacrifice' was suddenly performed. In this case, it is highly likely that some major event occurred at that time, and it is very likely related to the supernatural."

"I'll discuss this with Senior Sister Jiang when I get back."

"And then, in the last part of your memory, a train appeared, right?"

Su Yining nodded vigorously: "Yes, train number 104, but it's too chaotic, there's no specific location."

"That train, like this school, most likely either holds important memories or contains fragments of other corpses."

Chen Shidao:

"No matter which one it is, we must find that train."

The task at hand is now clear.

Locate train number 104 and ask Jiang Liu if there were any major changes three years ago.

Of course, for him, "learning the violin" should be added to his private schedule.

This means we'll have to do extra training at night.

Just as I was thinking this, I turned my head and saw Luo Xiaoyu running back into the classroom from outside, wiping her sweat.

She writes, flips through the book:

“I just moved all those students to another classroom. I waited at the door for a while, and they all woke up, but they seemed to have forgotten what happened in the choir.”

"Huh?" Su Yining was a little confused.

"Oh, because there were two corpses lying over there, and Luo Xiaoyu was afraid of leaving those students with a trauma."

Chen Shi pointed to the two corpses of Hu Lizhang.

Although ferrymen and logistics personnel will arrive quickly to handle the situation, ordinary students would indeed be terrified to death upon seeing a corpse.

There's another matter: because Luo Xiaoyu gave him the Soul-Guiding Zither directly, Hu Lizhang's ruler was also handed over to Luo Xiaoyu to handle.

"Okay, that's pretty much it for now, let's head back."

Chen Shi got up, stretched, picked up his violin, and prepared to leave.

Su Yining jumped up and leaped forward, probably because she had remembered some memories. Although she called herself the riddle teller, she seemed to be in a good mood.

Luo Xiaoyu also left the classroom, preparing to return to Lingyi Temple to report back.

"Oh right, I haven't asked yet. Chen Shi, how do I look in my high school uniform? Don't I look youthful?"

Su Yining giggled, spread her arms and twirled around, her eyes still red.

Chen glanced at her... a dark blue short-sleeved shirt, a knee-length skirt, and long legs in black stockings.

She's just like that sexy senior on campus who can attract a bunch of male admirers and followers wherever she goes.

"It's quite green..."

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking, his gaze fixed ahead.

Ahead, a man was standing.

He was very tall, wearing a hound mask so his face was obscured. He had a short white haircut and a missing section of his little finger.

Beside her, Luo Xiaoyu's expression also turned sharp.

"Ok?"

Su Yining spun halfway around, then stopped by rubbing her heel against the ground.

"Oh, a young girl, a young man, and another...someone who's a bit strange?"

Lu Jin smiled, secretly pleased:

Two ferrymen handling one task, and they look so young, they must be complete novices.

And that girl with red highlights, her look was quite unusual...

"I've struck it rich."

Lu Jin felt confident of victory and sighed that running away here was indeed the right choice.

"Who's that guy? Is there a costume party at school today?" Su Yining asked, hands on her hips.

"I'll be frank, ferryman, don't struggle. If you behave, it'll save us both trouble. I just want the magical artifact. If you behave, you can die a quicker death."

Lu Jin was completely absorbed in his own world and couldn't pull himself out.

"Alright, here comes the villain's speech."

Chen Shi and Luo Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, their smiles barely concealed:

"Who do you think should die a quick death?"

"us?"

Chapter 87 I finished it instantly, what's there to say?

Seeing Lu Jin's confident demeanor, Chen Shi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Jin's voice turned cold.

"I didn't laugh."

"Bullshit, you were just laughing!"

"We ferrymen are professionally trained, and we will never laugh no matter how funny the villains say."

Chen Shi couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth; he was just worried about where to test the effects of the [Soul-Guiding Zither].

"Tsk, kid, you're such a smooth talker."

Lu Jin didn't take the young people in front of him seriously at all.

The essence of the ferryman is to exorcise evil spirits, not to engage in power struggles between people. Being good at exorcising spirits does not mean being good at dealing with people, just like the difference between PVP and PVE.

Although that Level 3 ferryman was a bit troublesome, if he hadn't been holding back, she would be dead in the alley by now.

Why would he be afraid of these young faces?

That guy? He looks so young, he's obviously new to the industry.

Look at that little girl in the cheongsam; she doesn't look like she could fight at all.

Looking at the girl next to her, although she seemed unusual, she didn't look like a veteran. She had thin arms and legs and looked weak.

Is dealing with them not as easy as simply snapping them up?

Could it be that after being a spirit weapon hunter for so long, he's just unlucky today and has to run into so many geniuses?

Lu Jin flicked his sleeve, took out a worn-out pocket watch, and pressed his thumb on it:

"Ding--"

Instantly, the sound of bells filled my ears.

Chen Shi's vision blurred, as if he had stepped into thin air.

Without any hesitation, his body reacted as if by itself, taking out the rope and wrapping it around his arm in a smooth and fluid motion.

The shimmering rope instantly pulled him out of the disturbance.

"Another instance of psychological harassment? Can't you come up with something new?"

Chen Shi was already getting tired of this trick.

"What!?"

Lu Jin was startled, and his hand holding the watch trembled slightly:

"He broke through the intrusion in an instant? I should have been the one to strike first... Does this kid have some special ability to resist mental intrusion?"

Spiritual artifacts that can disrupt the mind are very powerful in combat, so they usually come with side effects.

And magical artifacts that can suppress mental intrusion are even rarer.

Why does this kid have it?

"The same old routine, I'm tired of it." Chen Shi remained calm and tightened the rope around his arm.

Beside them, Luo Xiaoyu and Su Yining remained silent.
