Nüwa's Growth Diary 064: The Return of the Whole Soul
No matter whether it's from identity or ability, the little fairy who can only fill the sea is really a bit dull among a group of gods.
But despite that, she still counts as one of them. After keeping the same secret and living together with a few people for so long, Ii can at least help a few people do some simple things.
For example... being a gatekeeper.
During the brief conversation between a few people, Yiyi skillfully pulled Tangqin and Tiantian to sit on the sofa, then started chatting with them casually, resolutely not giving the two any chance to hear the conversation in the room intentionally or unintentionally.
Although the approach is clumsy enough to see through at a glance, the effect is really good. Anyway, Yiyi only adheres to one major principle - people can't leave their own side more than one meter away. Everything else is up to you, even if it's obvious, what can be done...
It ended with Feng Xiaoxiao and a few others leaving the room, while Tang Qin and Tian Tian, who had different reasons for wanting to get close to the room, failed to achieve their goal.
……
"My god!"
That night, Tang Qin was speechless in the face of another message from the internal network of the Free Killer, which was also a message from the employer. The employer expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the killer he had hired had not made any progress for so long, and as a result, issued an ultimatum - either Tang Qin would kill Yang Zhan within three days, or the transaction would be cancelled.
It's all about money, Xiao Hongmao is now really in a desperate situation. From the little nurse to the big sister, they urgently need a large sum of money to support hospitalization and treatment costs, but the money he had on hand was all taken out earlier to hire assassins with Lao Hu.
The original plan was to wait for a while, at most one more month, as long as Yang Jian died, Yang Lao would have no successor, and the huge benefits would naturally not be missed. The problem was that the situation changed suddenly, and the plan could not keep up with the changes. Xiaohongmao is now eagerly awaiting the return of funds. Therefore, it also led to great dissatisfaction with Tang Qing's work efficiency.
Tang Qin wanted to cry, he had no idea this job would be so troublesome. Everyone around the target, including the target himself, was not a good person, and even the pets were not easy to get along with. Originally, there was still Yi Yi, who was kind-hearted and made him feel comforted, but unexpectedly, this beautiful image also shattered tonight...
Or how to say that everything has to be organized. Freelance killers have some benefits, but various guarantees are not as good as professional personnel. For example, if this task is accepted by a professional killer, would the employer dare to modify the requirements repeatedly? Maybe they would. But what can be achieved in this way is unlikely to be compromise, but rather a wanted poster in the dark world.
It's like the difference between a famous brand store and a street stall, the former has a clear price tag and firm principles that people admire and pursue. The latter shouts out 100 but may be killed down to 80, if not discounted, people turn around and leave...
After thinking for a while, Tang Qin dialed a phone number, still that friend who was traveling abroad: "When are you coming back?"
Friend: "Isn't it still three or four days? Didn't you say so before?"
"Can't wait any longer, I need to settle this account within three days." Three or four days?! By the time the person comes back, the account will be overdue. Tang Qing felt depressed: "Lend me some more money and manpower."
“……” A friend said tactfully: “You’ve already borrowed money from me twice and once asked for a favor. The money doesn’t matter, but that favor... seven big men were beaten to the ground by a little devil, without even being able to fight back... I think this time your request is too risky, are you hiding important information from me?!” Between friends, mutual help is indeed necessary. Especially in the shadow world, people value this kind of camaraderie not only because of environmental factors but also because everyone has a high-risk occupation. Having a few companions or partners is extremely important; if you don’t go all out to help your friend this time, next time when you’re in crisis, your friend will definitely not be wholehearted in helping you either.
However, mutual help also has a prerequisite. For example, you can ask your friends to go through thick and thin with you, but whether they do it or not is their business. But you cannot first conceal information and deceive your friends into being cannon fodder.
Tang Qin understood what his friend meant, but he felt wronged: "I didn't know that kid was so formidable... Don't worry, he went on a business trip a few days ago, and the remaining ones don't seem to be as fierce. Besides, I'm not using people as thugs this time."
"After a moment's consideration, based on Tang Qin's previous reputation, he nodded: 'Alright, I'll trust you again. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to the store where you're staying. If you need anything, just tell that person directly.'"
As long as there is support and sufficient manpower and financial resources, Tang Qin has confidence in finding an opportunity to get rid of the opponent within three days. After all, internal enemies have always been the hardest to guard against. Being able to fully grasp the opponent's daily route of action already occupies a favorable position... Tang Qin hung up the phone with satisfaction, putting down one worry and sleeping sweetly.
……
"What?!"
The next morning, Tang Qin exclaimed in surprise: "You said Yang Ge and Laobanniang have both left?!"
"Yeah." Yiyi looked at Tang Qing with a puzzled expression: "Anyway, they don't usually take care of the store, so going out shouldn't have much impact, right?"
The impact is huge, the other side goes out for a day, it means they have wasted a day's assassination opportunity, as long as three days pass, this order will be cancelled, and their own recent misfortune will become a worthless joke.
Tang Qin swallowed a mouthful of blood in her throat and gritted her teeth, asking: "When are Yang Ge and the others coming back?!"
"I'm not quite sure, but it seems like they might have a lot on their hands lately." The city guard's affairs had already been discussed with Ii by Feng Xiaoxiao, including the recently obtained living soul.
The separation of the soul from the body has a certain time limit, it's not like you can just wander around outside at will. If the time is too long, even if the soul is preserved without damage, the physical functions of the body will gradually decline, and in this case, even if the soul successfully returns to the body later on, some adverse reactions may occur, and there may be a need for rehabilitation afterwards.
The living soul in Yu Pei has been taken away by Cheng Huang several days ago. For such a long time, even if the physical body of the living soul is wealthy and noble, enjoying the best care in the hospital, some minor problems are inevitable. Therefore, Feng Xiaoxiao and others' time is really quite tight.
Tang Qin didn't know these things and still held onto the last thread of hope, hoping that this matter was just an excuse for the two lazy people to not do their work: "They'll come back tonight, right..."
Yi Yi didn't understand and looked at Tang Qin again: "Feng Jie will be back, Yang Ge seems to want to go home for a few days." Due to Xiao Hong Mao's relationship, the Yang family's relationship has been extremely tense, and these past few days Yang Zhuo should have gone home to show his face from all aspects.
Tang Qing's eyes welled up with tears in an instant - must you be so ruthless and leave no way out?!
……
Just as Tang Qin and Xiao Yi were chatting, Feng Xiaoxiao and Yang Zhen had already sat down in a coffee shop. Across from them was one of Yang Zhen's friends, who had brought over some car registration information: "These are the vehicle records corresponding to the license plates you sent over. Among them, there is only one silver-gray BMW X4... Brother Yang, you're not just here to kill time with us, are you? That car belongs to your family, don't you recognize it?"
Yang Yan was taken aback: "My family has at least a dozen cars, with dedicated staff to wash and maintain them. I don't usually bother to remember this stuff." This is the characteristic of rich people, ordinary families will never forget their license plates because cars are also luxury goods, but for the Yang family, it's just a daily consumable item that can be bought or replaced at any time, who has the leisure to remember every single license plate number?!
The newcomer was choked with emotion, and some were speechless with a sense of disappointment: "Yang Ge is really different from us."
Yang Yan smiled: "It's just a habit of life." This is not showing off, he was originally in this circle, and what he enjoyed was originally not on the same level as ordinary people. Being overly humble may make some ordinary people feel slightly more comfortable psychologically, but this is actually a kind of hypocrisy. He didn't look down on those who were not superior because of his own superiority, nor did he have an obligation to take care of the emotions of people unrelated to him.
Feng Xiaoxiao picked up the information and took a look: "The surname is indeed Yang, this way it should be more convenient to find people." In fact, she had another idea, Wang Wei's hospitalization and the out-of-body soul incident were too coincidental, there were only a few people who could drive the Yang family car, the possibility of a connection between the two was at least 90% or more, it was likely that the out-of-body soul was indeed Wang Wei.
If it's like this... Feng let out a small sigh, if it's like this, things are actually more troublesome.
The separation of soul and body may be an accident, or it may be due to the physical quality of Wang Wei.
The former is easy to say, directly sending it back will do, but the latter is more troublesome. Because the physical quality will not improve with the return of the soul, on the contrary, if the physical vitality is not enough, the possibility of keeping the soul will also be smaller.
The healthier the body, the stronger the density of the soul. Wang Wei's condition seems to have worsened again. Even if this time the birth soul is sent back, at most it will only exchange for the other party's wakefulness this time, and next time it may not be able to leave the body again.
From a medical point of view, this means that the other party will often fall into a coma. If they are lucky, their soul will not be far from their body, and their body will be temporarily stimulated by medical means to increase vitality, allowing them to absorb their soul back and wake up again. If they are unlucky, it is likely that the person will die directly...
Yang Yan's friend looked at the two of them: "Why do I feel like you're not happy after finding out who the car belongs to?!"
"This is another reason." And it's a bad reason to explain, Yang Yan pushed away the coffee and changed the subject: "Still want to thank you for your help, I'll invite everyone to dinner tonight?!"
Yang Yan's friend changed the subject and didn't mention previous matters again. He smiled: "That's great, I'll call them now to tell them not to eat lunch."
