Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 31 Year-end Bonus
Guan Nuo silently chanted the anti-ghost spell in his heart, and when he felt his body was not so stiff, he clenched his fingers with his right hand and punched forward. The hair wrapped around his body loosened a little, and he seized the momentary gap and ran out.
The wind, or maybe it was his hair, wrapped around his body and pulled him.
He tried hard to move forward.
One step, one step.
Struggling...
The rain got heavier.
Raindrops fell on his head, face, and eyes.
He couldn't see clearly, he could only move forward, using up all his strength with every step...
water.
It poured into my ears and nose. My clothes were wet and heavy, and my body sank...
He suddenly heard some noises.
Through the sound of water.
A little stuffy.
"I'll catch a cold if I go into the water in the middle of winter, and I'm weak."
The water waves shook
He opened his eyes.
A series of tiny bubbles floated past his eyes.
He moved, his body was able to move, he changed his posture, his hands moved forward and upward. Gradually, he saw the light of the street lamp.
call!
His head popped out of the water.
Jiang You and a few strangers were standing on the bridge looking at him.
The rain is fine and dense.
He coughed and spat out two mouthfuls of water.
"It's out, it's out." Passersby cheered.
He swam to the river's edge and climbed upwards.
A hand of uneven skin color appeared in front of him, he grabbed it, and was pulled to the river bank.
Guan Nuo wiped the water off his face.
My nose and mouth were filled with the stench of river water.
When he tried to put on the hat that was wet on his back, Jiang You opened the umbrella and shielded him.
"Young man, is there anything you can do to overcome this difficulty?" a passerby advised Guan Nuo.
"Don't you think about what will happen to your parents if you die?"
"The young people nowadays are..."
"I didn't..." Guan Nuo retorted weakly.
"That's good. Let's find a place to change clothes," Jiang You took over the conversation, "Don't get cold."
Then he took out his police ID from his bag and waved it at passers-by, "I'm a policeman. I'm taking this young man away first."
"Police, please talk to him, do more psychological work for him, and contact his family..."
"Yes, yes."
The passers-by gradually dispersed.
Guan Nuo and Jiang You walked forward, and Yang Xuan followed them in small steps holding a small flower umbrella.
"Going to your house now? You need to change your clothes." Jiang You asked.
“There’s a basketball club nearby.”
“Is it still open at this hour?”
"I know where the spare key is. There are spare clothes in the dressing room."
"That's fine."
The three of them went to the Qingdou Children's Basketball Club.
While Guan Nuo was changing clothes, Jiang You and Yang Xuan were sitting in the lounge. Jiang You looked around, found a bag of disposable cups, took out three, and then filled the water dispenser with hot water.
"Is he the intern?" Yang Xuan took off her mask and hat.
"That's him."
Soon, Guan Nuo changed into a jersey and walked out wearing slippers.
There were goose bumps on my skin and my body was shivering.
Jiang You stood up and took off his down jacket and handed it to Guan Nuo, "Put it on, or you'll get sick from the cold on your first day at work."
Guan Nuo hesitated for a moment.
"Get dressed. I'll get a taxi right outside the door."
Guan Nuo took the long, thick black down jacket and wrapped it around himself.
Very warm.
He sat down, picked up the cup and drank some hot water.
The body gradually stopped shaking.
"The section chief is still on her way. It will take her an hour to get here. I'm closer to you, so I'll get there first."
"I ..." Guan Nuo saw Yang Xuan.
"You are the one with 123?"
"Yes, the one who quit the group."
"Are you also from the Special Operations Department?" Guan Nuo asked.
"She's my idol," Jiang You took over the conversation, "I finally got her out for dinner at Shanhelou, but halfway through the meal, I got a call from the section chief. I called a taxi, added a red envelope, and told the driver to drive faster. The driver almost ran a red light ."
"I……"
"Fortunately, I arrived in time and the location was accurate, otherwise you would have been down there for too long... Let me tell you, my legs are so cold that they hurt like hell when it's cold and rainy. If I go down to the river in this weather, do you believe I'll have to go to the hospital tomorrow?"
"I, I won't do it next time."
Jiang You looked at Guan Nuo, "What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a mess?"
"I originally thought this ghost could communicate."
Jiang You took a sip of water and asked, "Where's that ghost?"
"I don't know..." Guan Nuo paused and began to tell the information he had asked. "She is looking for her daughter, her daughter's name is Zeng Lu, and she said her daughter doesn't want her anymore," Guan Nuo said, feeling a little aggrieved. "I called Brother Sun to check Zeng Lu's information..."
"Go buy three, no, four cups of hot coffee, and a few pieces of cake. I saw we passed a coffee shop on the way just now." Jiang You turned and said to Yang Xuan.
"Okay." Yang Xuan understood that Jiang You was trying to get her away.
She stood up, walked to the door, bent down and picked up her little flower umbrella.
After the door of the lounge was closed, Jiang You asked, "Before she pulled you in, did you have a way to stop her?"
"I, I was...so I was careless."
"Seeing how much you talked to her, you have the ability to stay away and wait for rescue. What did Sunwoo tell you?"
"He asked me to ask clearly and then contact the section chief, or contact you."
"Did you tell him it was a ghost?"
"No."
"This is why the section chief thinks you don't meet her requirements." Jiang You concluded.
Guan Nuo looked at Jiang You with some confusion.
"When you discover a supernatural incident, you should report it to the section chief and wait for instructions. You can also ask senior colleagues, but you must tell Sun Yu everything you know so that he can help you make the right judgment. You misled Sun Yu and made him think it was just an ordinary female ghost. At the same time, you did not listen to his advice and did not contact the section chief and me, who were more suitable to handle this matter."
"It might be too late," Guan Nuo said with an unconvinced expression, "If Brother Sun had helped me check, the female ghost might not have..."
"Then are you going to bring a fierce ghost to find her daughter? Or can you tell the divination that the fierce ghost will rest in peace after seeing her daughter?" Jiang You asked back: "We have to be responsible for our actions and write a report to report to the higher-ups. If you do this, how can you expect Sun Yu to write it? How can you get an A in the annual assessment? Do you want the year-end bonus?"
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding between them. After she clears up her confusion..."
"We are employees of the human government. We don't care about the evil thoughts of ghosts."
"What if the ghost was wronged? What if she was murdered?"
"Murder cases have their own investigation methods. If the ghost can provide practical clues and evidence, then the murder case can be closed and the sentence can be determined according to the law. If the ghost really harms someone, then no matter what grudge the person has against it, the Special Operations Department's perspective is to find the ghost and disperse it. If there happens to be someone who can perform the ritual of salvation, then consider trying to perform the ritual first. I think you can learn how to perform the ritual of salvation for ghosts."
The door of the lounge was kicked open and Tang Butian walked in.
She asked, "Where is the evil spirit?"
