Volume 3 Chapter 6 Soul Search
This is a soul-searching method, originally used to find ghosts. By using the things they used to live and casting spells on them, they can automatically track the owner's whereabouts. This is also a magical technique for chasing evil ghosts. I have never used it on people, but I know that this magic is for chasing souls, and there is not much difference between chasing human souls and chasing ghosts.
My finger was being led to the right by my hair, and it had left the compass and was still crawling to the right on the white paper. I quickly opened my eyes, stopped the spell, and took the compass away. I saw a faint black line appear on the white paper, zigzagging to the right from a point in the center.
My heart sank involuntarily. The compass represents the entire location of the hotel. My finger just ran out of the edge of the compass, which meant that Qu Mo was not in the hotel. It was hard to say where she was now, but she went east anyway. This black line was the footprint she left behind.
"How is it?" Shen Bing asked.
I frowned and said, "I left the hotel, but I don't know where I went yet." I walked to the window, opened it and looked down. Thinking about the route that the "flying girl" had taken, it was very consistent with the black line on the white paper. I couldn't help but open my mouth wide. Could it really be her? !
Shen Bing followed me to the window and looked out, thinking that I had discovered something. When she opened the window just now, Qu Mo had already run away without a trace. I would not tell her about this for the time being, after all, I could not be completely sure that the female flying hero was Qu Mo, so as not to contradict myself.
I ran back to the table and asked Shen Bing to take out a few more sheets of white paper and spread them flat on top to continue the soul-searching ritual. The larger the area of the paper, the deeper the black line would be. Finally, I realized that the finger was no longer moving, so I stopped the spell and looked at the end of the black line. This was where Qu Mo landed.
"You go to sleep first. I'll go to the service desk to check the map of Huangshan City. Maybe Qu Mo has relatives or friends here, so he went to visit them. If he doesn't come back tomorrow, we'll call the police." I said and pushed the door open.
Shen Bing followed and said, "Don't try that. You want to ditch me again. I know you want to find her."
I didn't expect her to become smart, I really thought so. I pushed her back to the door and said, "It's very cold outside, you'd better not go. Besides, if she comes back by herself, we won't know and we'll still be looking for her everywhere. If you stay and see her come back, please notify me immediately."
"You don't take me with you because you have other intentions, right?" Hey, there was something else behind her words, and her tone was quite vicious. Could it be that she guessed that I wanted to go out and fool around with Qu Mo?
I know this girl's clinging skills very well. If I don't take her to play, I will be asking for trouble. I surrendered immediately: "Okay, wear something thicker. I'll wait for you at the hotel entrance."
I went back to the room, put on my windbreaker, and carried my bag. If I put on a pair of sunglasses, I would feel like an underground agent. After waiting for a while at the hotel entrance, Shen Bing came down wearing that white windbreaker. I looked her up and down and smiled, "We are clearly black and white, just like the Black and White Impermanence!"
She pushed me and said, "Let's go. You can't even speak nicely. You keep talking about ghosts in the middle of the night."
Isn't it easier to make it sound nice? I pulled at my windbreaker and said with a smile, "They look like couple outfits. Did you buy these two windbreakers specifically to give me one?"
"Bah, you're so beautiful. I... accidentally bought myself a windbreaker. It has nothing to do with you." Although she spoke stubbornly, I could see her face turning red in the light of the street lamp.
I couldn't help but feel excited. This girl seemed quite simple at ordinary times, but why was it that I could never see through her at critical moments? The relationship between people was as simple as a layer of window paper, but if you didn't break it, you would never understand the other person's true feelings, especially the girl's mind. No matter how much you guessed, you really couldn't figure it out.
I just got a map of Huangshan City from the service desk and compared it with the black line on the white paper. The black line is larger, so I reduced the scale and compared it. Finally, one end of the black line is in the direction of Tangkou Town. I was surprised. Huangshan is in Tangkou Town, and the place we live in Tunxi District is 70 kilometers away. The fastest car ride takes less than an hour. She arrived in just over ten minutes. It's incredible!
The more I thought about it, the weirder it seemed. She was originally a disciple of Master Mao. This evil woman, Master Mao, knew sorcery. Could it be that she had learned the sorcery of flying? Thinking of this, I felt relieved that she jumped from the sixth floor, but I still couldn't figure it out. Huang Shan was running so fast that she had already caught up with a ghost!
Damn, is Qu Mo a ghost? On second thought, that shouldn't be the case. Even if a ghost hides well, I can still detect it. What's more, she is a girl with very clear eyes. She looks very smart, which is completely different from the lifeless eyes of a ghost.
Seeing me staring at the map in a daze, Shen Bing asked me, "What else did you think of?" while blowing hot air on her hands.
I sighed and said, "Qu Mo has arrived at Huangshan."
"Then why are you still in a daze? Let's go quickly."
I thought to myself, you are such an idiot, you didn’t even ask how far it is from here. Where can you find a car at this time?
Seeing that I didn't say anything, she blinked, as if thinking about the distance, and asked me, "Is it very far?"
"Seventy kilometers." I said as I was about to go back to the hotel. It was almost three o'clock now. Even if we ran all the way there, it would probably take more than two hours. Moreover, we had already consumed a lot of physical energy. Going up the mountain to look for someone would be pure dreaming and nonsense.
Just at this moment, a taxi drove over from a distance and stopped in front of us. The driver rolled down the window and asked, "Where are you going?"
The car arrived just in time. Shen Bing and I opened the door, jumped in and said, "Huangshan!"
The driver asked for 500 yuan. Damn, that was really unfair. While we were bargaining, Wang Zijun ran out of the hotel door, leaned on the car window and cursed: "You guys are really mean. You didn't even tell us you were going to Huangshan. Do you want to get rid of me and Qu Mo and live alone?"
I said angrily, "Get in the car first. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
"I have to go back and ask Qu Mo to come down..."
"No need, she is in Huangshan now." Shen Bing said.
Wang Zijun stood there like a clay sculpture, his mouth wide open and unable to close.
Finally, Wang Zijun was good at talking and bargained the price down to 400 yuan with the driver, and we drove to Huangshan. On the way, I whispered to Wang Zijun about Qu Mo's disappearance, and he was stunned and didn't believe it at all. He had known Qu Mo for almost a year, and he never knew that she had the ability of Spiderman. I said a female flying man, but he changed it to Spiderman.
Wang Zijun kept urging the driver to drive faster, fearing that something might happen to Qu Mo. I don't think so, because since Qu Mo has this Spider-Man ability, she is many times stronger than Shen Bing and I, so how could something happen to her? I was anxious to get there, because I wanted to get the truth, how did she manage to look like a ghost?
