04 out of control
"Abu, wait," I stood up and walked to her, "What the hell is going on?"
An Yu also stood up and looked at us silently.
Abu was silent for a moment and said to me in a low voice, "Let's go outside and talk."
"Okay", I said.
She turned and walked out of the cafe.
I looked back at An Yu and winked at her.
An Yu understood and nodded.
I pushed the door and walked out of the cafe and came to Abu.
Mr. Chen took Qiao Junshan hurried downstairs, "Miss Abu! Miss Abu..."
An Yu stopped them and whispered a few words.
The two of them had no choice but to sit down and wait.
"What's the situation?" I asked Abu.
"The mine was started in Qiao Junshan and a tomb of the commander exploded," Abu said, "A monster escaped in the tomb. It killed one person every two days, and by yesterday, it had killed twenty-one people."
"Yeah," I nodded, "Can't you handle it?"
"This monster is called the Blood Boy", she looked at me, "He traveled thousands of miles a day, and was able to speak and invisible, and it was very difficult to deal with. He was the resentful spirit who guarded the tomb of the commander and had a contract with the tomb owner. Anyone who interfered with and disturbed the tomb owner would be killed by him."
"What then?" I asked.
"From forty-three days since the tomb of the commander was blown up to today," she said, "The workers in Qiao Junshan were killed by the blood boy! He first called the police, and then asked Taoist priests and monks to do rituals, which delayed too much precious time. Just yesterday, one of his deputy was killed again. So he dismissed everyone and came to Shangjing to seek the help of Mr. Chen. This was a fatal mistake. Things were out of control and I could not solve this problem at all!"
I frowned, "He has dismissed everyone?"
"Yes," she said, "Blood Boy can travel thousands of miles a day. If Qiao Junshan dismisses those people, the Blood Boy will kill people everywhere. No matter how fast I move, I can't catch up with his speed, so I can't do this!" I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "So that's what it is..."
She looked at me, "Only you can solve this."
I shook my head, "I said it, it's not convenient for me to answer."
"If you don't answer, hundreds of people will die," she said. "The blood boy must kill all these people in order to undo the contract and restore freedom. If you don't care, he will continue to kill one person every two days until he kills all of them."
"I know your ability," I looked at her, "You can handle this."
"I can't do it alone," she faced my eyes, "Unless, you can help me."
"Yes," I nodded, "You will help you next."
She smiled playfully and shook her head.
"What?" I was puzzled.
"If I take this, I must ask you to help me," she looked at me, "but this will be unfair to you."
"What's unfair?" I asked.
"You are the best Feng Shui master in Yanxia," she said, "Your value is very high. If you ask you to be an assistant to me, I can't do that either. Moreover, if you set this precedent, Mr. Chen will keep bothering you. You are my friend, and I can't harm you."
"I understand what you mean," I smiled faintly, "They invited you, and only offered you more than 20 million yuan, but if you wanted to invite me, the price would be ten times higher. If you set a precedent this time, with Mr. Chen's personality, he would indeed repeat this operation."
She nodded seriously.
"But someone has to do this," I changed my subject, "If you don't answer, I can't find anyone else for a while. The Blood Boy will kill the next person tomorrow. Will we not save him when we die?"
"It's not that Qiao Junshan can't afford you, he's stingy," Abu said, "It's not that others don't save him, but that he doesn't save himself."
"I asked my assistant Keer to help you," I said, "She can travel thousands of miles a day. With her by your side, you can catch up with the blood boy."
She still shook her head.
"It won't work?"
"She is your assistant, not my assistant," she said, "We Onmyoji can only take our own waiters or disciples when doing business, and cannot bring others. This is also the reason why I cannot accept you help me. Your cultivation is far higher than mine, and I dare not let you act as my waiter, and that is disrespectful to you."
I was silent for a moment and looked at her, "No need to discuss?"
"Yes," she said, "You come and take this matter, and I will do it with you as your waiter."
I took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay."
"You... agreed?" She looked at me.
I glanced at her, turned around and walked to the door, pushed the door open and walked into the cafe.
She hesitated for a moment and followed me.
Seeing that we were back, Mr. Chen and Qiao Junshan quickly stood up, "Young Master!" An Yu also stood up.
I led Abu to Master Chen, looked at Qiao Junshan, and cleared my throat, "Master Dao, Abu cannot handle this matter. While there is still some time, you should take Mr. Qiao to find someone else."
When Qiao Junshan heard this, he was stunned and quickly looked at Master Chen Dao.
Mr. Chen was in a dilemma, "Young Master, if you can find someone, would you ask me to trouble you? If Miss Abu doesn't care about this, then..."
He wanted to let me take care of it, but it was hard to say it out.
"There is no way to do this." I looked at Qiao Junshan, "Abu is not convenient to help Mr. Qiao, so I can only ask you to understand more."
"Young Master, do you think you can do this..." Mr. Chen wanted to speak.
I waved my hand and said, "Master Dao, I have said everything I should say. I will say the same thing. You can find someone else while there is still time. Abu is my guest, so we have to reminisce about the past, so we won't be with you anymore."
I looked at An Yu and "Help me send Master Dao and Mr. Qiao."
"Okay," said An Yu.
I clasped my fists at Master Chen, turned to Abu and said, "Let's go upstairs and have a good chat."
Abu nodded.
"Young Master, this..." Mr. Chen was speechless.
We walked around them, headed towards the stairs, and prepared to go upstairs.
An Yu looked at them, "Master Dao, Mr. Qiao, please."
Master Chen sighed and glanced at Qiao Junshan with a complicated expression, "Let's go..."
"Master Chen Dao, didn't you say that only Master Wu Zheng can save us?" Qiao Junshan's face turned pale, "Then now..."
Master Chen smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and turned around and walked towards the door.
"Master Dao!" Qiao Junshan grabbed him and said in a trembling voice, "Save us! You have to save us!"
Master Chen shook his hand away and quickly left Xiaoyu Coffee.
Qiao Jun's foot became soft and he sat on the ground.
