Chapter 49: Setting Up a Situation
The meal was a bit dull.
Mao Xueying chatted and laughed with Zhou Yan from time to time, while Ningxiang kept her head down.
Halfway through the process, Zheng Qihuai suddenly called.
"Brother, where are you? Come to the People's Hospital quickly. Angkor Wu and President Gao have something to tell you."
I looked at my cousin apologetically.
"Ni Ge, go ahead. I'll send Miss Mao and Sister Ningxiang back for you later."
As soon as her cousin finished speaking, Ningxiang also stood up: "Mr. Ni, I want to go with you."
Mao Xueying looked at me, then at Ningxiang. Her brows slightly frowned, as if she was a little unhappy, but soon calmed down.
"Ni Ge, go and do whatever you need. I'll accompany my cousin and sister-in-law."
I hesitated. Ningxiang was acting very abnormal today. Why did she have to follow me? Could it be that Ningxiang wanted to tell me something?
I nodded, left the restaurant with Ningxiang, took a taxi, and headed straight to the People's Hospital.
Ningxiang remained silent throughout the journey, and I did not urge her.
At the gate of the People's Hospital, Zheng Qihuai was waiting anxiously. When he saw me and Ningxiang coming together, he was stunned at first, and then he pulled me without caring.
"Brother, you are here. Things are a bit complicated this time. Let's go up. The two old guys are waiting there."
"What's the matter? Why so urgent?" I asked puzzledly.
"Alas! This is the misfortune of my Metaphysics Society! I didn't expect Zhao Decang's background to be so complicated." Zheng Qihuai sighed, and without stopping, he pulled me into the elevator.
Wu Zhidao and Gao Qiyun, two mortal enemies, were lying quietly in a room at this rare moment. However, both of them looked very solemn.
"Ni Ge, you're here. Come, sit down first." Seeing me come in, Wu Zhidao's face immediately showed joy and greeted me.
After I sat down, I looked at Wu Zhidao and Gao Qiyun in confusion.
The two of them looked at me with complicated expressions, then looked at Ningxiang beside me.
"Brother Wu, President Gao, this is my friend, we are family, it doesn't matter."
Wu Zhidao sighed and said, "Alas, Brother Ni Ge, I am your elder brother and I shouldn't be greedy for fame! It would be better if I didn't let you participate in the discussion meeting."
Gao Qiyun also sighed: "Things have come to this, I might as well tell Brother Ni Ge clearly."
I looked at Gao Qiyun in silence. I was also curious. What kind of thing was it? It was related to Zhao Decang. Didn't Zhao Decang run away? Besides, there was a special operations team of the country, so it wouldn't fall on my head.
"Brother Ni, what do you think about why Zhao Decang left suddenly?" Gao Qiyun did not tell the story, but suddenly asked.
"Zhao Decang was urinated by a boy, which broke his domineering state. The crowd was very excited at that time, and it would be disadvantageous for him to stay."
I thought for a moment and answered.
"Haha, Brother Ni, you only saw one thing. In fact, given Zhao Decang's condition at the time, although his strength was greatly reduced, he still had more than enough time to kill the three of us. The reason why he left was probably to preserve his strength."
"This world is divided into three, with heaven, earth and man each forming one world. The demon world is outside these three worlds. Legend has it that in the ancient war between gods and demons, the three worlds united and suffered heavy losses before they sealed the demon world. But it has not been very peaceful since ancient times . Although there is no demon world that disrupts yin and yang, the shadow of demons often appears. I didn't expect that there would be demon cultivators in my Metaphysics Society."
"President Gao, you said that Zhao Decang left because of the demon world? Could it be that Zhao Decang had some plans?" This news was a bit shocking, and I was terrified by my own speculation. If the seal of the demon world is opened, then this world will be a complete doomsday scene.
"Alas, what Brother Ni said is both right and wrong. Only the guardian knows where the Demon Realm is exactly. What is certain is that there is no problem with the seal of the Demon Realm. However, Zhao Decang's departure is indeed related to the Demon Realm. Ni Ge, have you heard of the Reincarnation Religion?"
"I've heard of it. It's a sect that preaches rebirth in the end times. It has long been defined as a cult. Does President Gao mean that Zhao Decang is a member of the Reincarnation Sect?" I asked puzzledly.
Gao Qiyun nodded and continued, "In fact, the Demon Cult has existed for a long time. It's just a different kind of existence. It can be said that as long as there are humans in this world, there are seven emotions and six desires . As long as there are obsessions, there are conditions for the survival of demons. The Reincarnation Cult is just a group of poor people fooled by the demons."
Alas! Gao Qiyun sighed again and said, "In fact, we have long discovered that Zhao Decang is a little strange. The special operations team has also been secretly watching him. According to our understanding, Zhao Decang and a cult organization, the Reincarnation Church, have been in frequent contact. Zhao Decang was able to enter the headquarters of the Reincarnation Church. The Reincarnation Church has long been destroyed, but now it has revived and even extended its tentacles into the Metaphysics Society. This further confirms our speculation. Zhao Decang wants to attack the Metaphysics Society."
I pondered for a moment. Gao Qiyun said a lot to me, and was basically waiting for my statement. However, I was not on the same level as Zhao Decang.
"President Gao, Brother Wu, you two called me over here to ask me to help you with something?"
Hehe. Wu Zhidao laughed and glanced at Gao Qiyun with pride: "I told you to just say no if you have something to say. I knew that Brother Ni Ge is not someone who is afraid of trouble."
"Haha, I'm overthinking it. Brother Ni, I'll be frank. Chairman Wu's birthday is in a week, but we've decided to hold the Master Banquet together with the one the day after tomorrow. Although time is very tight. However, since Zhao Decang has gone to such great lengths to enter the Metaphysics Society and gave up such a good opportunity to destroy us, there is only one explanation, that Zhao Decang wants to swallow up the foundation of the Metaphysics Society in one gulp. We might as well create this opportunity for him. Everyone will gather at the Metaphysics Society the day after tomorrow. I don't believe Zhao Decang will not be tempted. In addition, the special operations team attaches great importance to this event. As long as he dares to come, it will be difficult for him to leave."
Oh! I stood up in surprise and congratulated him, "Brother Wu, you have advanced to the master level, congratulations."
Wu Zhidao nodded while lying on the bed and said, "Ni Ge, you must be careful. I don't think Zhao Decang will let you go. I originally wanted you to stay here with us for two days. However, when I saw the person next to you, I don't think so."
I turned my head to look at Ningxiang, who was still frowning and looking thoughtful. I simply stood up and said, "Brother Wu, President Gao, I know what to do. I will make some preparations when I go back. Let's wait and see together the day after tomorrow."
They said they were waiting for the rabbit to come to them. Actually, to put it bluntly, these two people were planning to use me as bait and the foundation of the entire Metaphysics Society as a trap. If Zhao Decang really had some plans, I believe he would not miss such a good opportunity.
When we left the hospital, the lights were already on. The streets were filled with red lights shining brightly. The sidewalks were full of people walking in groups of three or four.
Ningxiang was dressed in white, looking elegant and graceful. She also had a beautiful face. When she walked on the street, she often attracted some amazing looks. However, when these looks fell on me, they immediately became a little complicated.
Walking beside Ningxiang, I could feel waves of murderous aura coming from all directions.
Ningxiang lowered her head and followed my steps silently. Although I had many questions in my mind, I didn't ask them. If Ningxiang wanted me to know, she would definitely tell me, so why rush?
"Ni Ge, Sister Ningxiang, you look so interesting!" As we were walking, a red Porsche stopped on the side. Mao Xueying took off her glasses on the passenger seat and looked at us with a smile.
"What a coincidence! Everything seems to happen by chance today. Where are you planning to take me now?" I asked meaningfully.
Ningxiang glanced at me secretly without saying anything, and just got into the car silently.
"Why are you still standing there? Get in the car. Let's go home." Mao Xueying gave me a reproachful look.
I simply got on the car as well. I believe we will know what these two are doing today when we get back.
The lights were bright, and the bamboo forest outside the window swayed in the moonlight, making rustling sounds from time to time.
The living room was very quiet. Mao Xueying and Ningxiang sat on either side of the sofa, staring at me for ten minutes.
Such treatment would definitely be a great benefit for a stay-at-home guy. But now I don’t have the heart to enjoy this peace.
The two girls' behavior today was very strange. Ningxiang followed me almost all the time, but she refused to say anything when I asked her why. Mao Xueying appeared suddenly every time, and it was obvious that she came to find me.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Finally I couldn't help but break the silence.
Mao Xueying looked at Ningxiang, then smiled at me and said, "Nothing, I'm going back to Shanghai tomorrow. I just want you to fulfill your contractual obligations for the rest of the time."
"Oh, okay, I'll be your full-time bodyguard tonight and stay up with you." I don't know why, but when I heard that Mao Xueying was leaving, I suddenly felt a little disappointed. I had somehow agreed to be your full-time bodyguard for one night.
"Hu Zi and Niu Niu, we have found news about our parents. We are leaving tomorrow. Mr. Ni, what will you do if no one takes care of you at home? You should take care of yourself."
Just when I was feeling sad, Ningxiang suddenly said.
I was stunned for a moment: "Ningxiang, haven't you been here all the time? How did you get the news?"
Ningxiang said in a low voice as if she had made a mistake: "Today, my sister Ningxiang and I went out and passed by the land temple. We asked the land god to check the household registration and found it."
So that's how it is! I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why didn't I think of asking the land god Ningxiang about her origins? But with my own skills, I probably wouldn't be able to meet those two.
"Is it far? Ningxiang, how about I take you there?"
Ningxiang is leaving, and I have absolutely no reason to refuse. I have long been accustomed to Ningxiang's waiting for me these days, and now the only thing I can do is to see her off.
Perhaps this is the best ending. Ningxiang and the two little ghosts were both very evil and died suddenly. It would be a good thing if the cause and effect could be resolved through the parents of the two little ghosts.
