Chapter 41 The Gaze 2
The so-called "feeling the gaze behind you" is mostly just an illusion, and even if you have this feeling, you may not take it to heart.But people with high awareness are different. If they feel the gaze, it must be projected by the gaze.What's more, I also sensed clear and complex negative emotions from this gaze, so it is even more impossible to ignore it.

I immediately rushed to the direction where my eyes were located.The source of my gaze seemed to be inside the teaching building, but when I returned to the teaching building from the playground, it was already too late.There are too many students here, and the people who cast their gazes have already mixed into the students and disappeared.

Instead, Joan found me first and asked me if the demon had been eliminated.

I gave an affirmative answer, while still thinking about the gaze.

Who would feel anxiety, vigilance, hostility and other emotions toward me when I was destroying demons?
I thought of what Lie Que had mentioned.

Originally, the campus strange talk incident like this time may not have attracted the attention of the Security Bureau so quickly. The reason why it paid attention was because of another incident that happened recently, that is, "someone spread secret knowledge on the Internet, and it was also a secret about demon magic. Knowledge".Because of this, some people who lived a normal life but were born with high awareness came into contact with these demonic knowledge without knowing it, which caused some disturbances.

In other words, even such a seemingly inconspicuous campus ghost talk event may hide "ordinary people" who have been exposed to demon knowledge.For example, students who have accumulated too much pressure in school life, or teachers who are dissatisfied with the workplace environment.

Assuming that such a person really existed in this incident, would it be Joan?I glanced at the boy next to me.He also happens to fit the profile of high awareness.

Having said that, just being glanced at by someone, I seem to think too much and act too neurotic.But I still can't take it lightly, I decided to include this matter in the report, and also report the fact that Joan belongs to the high awareness group.He was already easily involved in secret incidents, so no matter whether he was suspected or not, the Security Bureau had to pay attention to him.

As for the follow-up investigation, it is no longer within the scope of my responsibility. People more professional than me will go to the school to investigate and guide Joan.

I was planning to leave the school right now, Joan seemed to be still reminiscing about the previous "adventures" and sent me to the school gate.

"By the way, I don't seem to have heard your name yet..." He seemed to have just realized it.

I also belatedly remembered this incident.This can be regarded as the place where I am not thoughtful in dealing with people.Although it seems that there is no need for this now, but out of courtesy, I still reported my code name, "I am the law enforcement warlock Ren..."

A surprised voice suddenly came from the side, "Hey, isn't this Li Duo!"

Well, I'm Li Duo.

In addition, the voice was a little familiar, so familiar that it frightened me severely.Turning my head to look over, it turned out to be my former homeroom teacher who came over. His face was so hard that I didn't know where to put my hands.

I bit the bullet and said hello, "Teacher Tao, long time no see."

"You...you disappeared in the mountains, didn't you?" He stared at me with wide eyes, "I thought you already..."

"Some things happened, and I finally came back recently." I was vague.

He patted my shoulder and didn't know what he thought of, "Is that so... Your parents should be very happy."

I said noncommittally, "Probably."

"Probably?" He was puzzled at first, and then asked, "By the way, why did you come back to school?"

"It's for business." I said as I took out my ID from my pocket.

This is the work certificate of the Security Bureau. People who don't know the existence of the Security Bureau will not know which department it belongs to after reading it.However, the certificate itself contains a hint of spirituality. After seeing it, most people will immediately be deeply convinced that "this is a certificate in charge of public security."Only those with high enough awareness can see the problem.

Having said that, the incident of "a student who disappeared five years ago and suddenly turned into a public security officer after returning" is still too bizarre.

Then when I turned my head, I saw Joan's shining eyes again, "You are actually a senior who graduated from here..."

"Um……"

He was excited again, and asked in a desperate way: "Can I also become like you!"

"It's better not to change." I said reflexively.

"Huh?" He was confused.

After leaving school, I found a place to have lunch and wrote a report on the campus ghost talk incident.

At the same time, this is also the place where Joe Licorice will meet me.I also owed her blessing yesterday in leaving the different space, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.While waiting for her arrival, I was sorting out the whole story of Joan and the ghost story in my heart.

Probably there will be no intersection with Joan in the future—I originally thought so, but I ran into something related to Joan not long after.

To put it bluntly, Qiao An is Qiao Licorice's younger brother.

Qiao Licorice's commission is closely related to her younger brother.

She came here after three o'clock in the afternoon, and she specially changed into a refreshing dress.It is completely different from the mysterious and unpredictable "psychoanalyst" image I imagined at first. In reality, she looks like a "good girl" with nothing special, sometimes reminiscent of a timid rabbit.Judging from the appearance, he still likes to dress up a bit. When standing with Qingniao, he can't tell who is older and who is younger.

Many people have some stereotypes about talents working in the psychology industry, thinking that people who are highly educated in this industry have abilities similar to mind reading and a temperament that matches them. Even I can't help it.But I also know that there is no strong correlation between the image of a person in private life and the industry he is engaged in.Like doctors, teachers, lawyers... No matter what kind of profession they are in, there are all kinds of people, and at the same time, they may not be better than ordinary people when facing certain things.

This is also the experience I have summed up in the past five years of "social practice".

I was still wrestling with the report when she came.There's nothing I can do about it, it's the first time in my life that I'm writing an official report.After all, I was a complete "jobless" in the past, and this job was also my first job.I believe that many people have had the experience of wanting to ask the teacher "how to fill in this form" when they filled out unfamiliar forms when they were students. I may not even fill in those forms well, let alone official reports.In the end, I still consulted the experienced Qiao Licorice, and finally straightened out the idea of ​​the report, and then sent it to Lie Que after sorting it out on my mobile phone.

"Thanks, that was a great help," I said to Joe Licorice.

She smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, if you still have such problems in the future, just come to me."

I looked at her for a while, thought about it, and asked my doubts, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

When I met her in the past, although she thanked me, she still showed a rather nervous feeling, but now that feeling has faded.Is it because I saved her that she slowly thinks I'm a good person?Sometimes a person who has done a hundred good deeds is regarded as a good-natured bad person for just one bad deed; and a person who has done a hundred bad things is regarded as a genuinely good person for only one good deed... She Is my perception based on the same theory?But she should know better than me in this aspect. If I said it, it would seem like a trick.

She observed my expression without saying a word, then pressed her heart, took another breath, and exhaled again, "...you seem to have a tendency to easily complicate simple problems. Alright, don't If you frown like that, happiness will run away. I was rude last time. You saved me with your life, but I still can’t help being afraid of you. This time it won’t happen again... Well, I’m still a little scared You... at least you won't be so rude anymore."

"Well... But the grace of saving my life at that time has to be repaid." She continued, "Why don't we?"

"How?" I asked.

The shocking words she uttered next, immediately smashed the image of a good girl in her body, and the image of a mysterious psychoanalyst who might exist, "Why don't you go to bed with me."

"Ah?" If I was drinking water at this time, I would have sprayed it on her face, "Why, why?"

"The last time the blue bird shared with me... no, when I told it to me, I was really envious... no, I was very curious, so, uh... just treat it as a repayment with your body! How about it, do you want to Have a blast with me?" What she said was getting more and more outrageous, wait a minute, is she this type of person?

Also, that blue bird guy...

No, no, Aoto should not be someone who flaunts such things casually.There must be some misunderstanding here, I will ask back, don't jump to conclusions too early.Here first reject Joe Licorice.

"no."

"Why! You don't eat all the meat in your mouth, are you still a man?"

"I'm not interested in human beings." I said, "And don't make a fuss, I'm afraid that the blue bird will misunderstand you, you pervert."

"You actually said I'm a pervert!"

"I'm going home if I have nothing else to do, girl."

"I said it twice!" She was shocked, and immediately corrected her expression, "Well, there are actually other things... No, that's the real thing!"

I also felt that the joke was almost done here, and it would be too much if it was too much, so I became serious, "What's the matter?"

Then, I added, "Also, you said something about repaying your favor, but didn't you save me and Blue Bird from a different dimension yesterday? That would make it even."

"Okay, you saved my life and I saved your life, then we are considered friends by fate, and we don't need to be polite in the future." She said with a smile, and continued, "This matter has nothing to do with my younger brother. It does matter, I think he's in danger, so I want to help him."

"Dangerous?" I asked.

"Well... my younger brother is a rather special person, where do I start..." She sorted out her words, "Let's start with my family first. Like Yuchi's family, my family is a warlock family. But If there is a difference, it is that the latter is still continuing normally, while my family is withered, and only my father is a warlock in this generation."

The Yuchi family she mentioned is the family from Qingniao's mother's side, and Qingniao's Ruan surname is from her father's.

I continued to listen to her explanation.

"My father wants to simply let the lineage of warlocks in the family belong to his own generation. Because even if they become warlocks, many people will die unhappily. In the end, they will die because of being involved in various secret incidents. It's just that he still hasn't made up his mind completely. Determined, sometimes I doubt whether my decision is correct, and hesitate whether I really want to sever my own magician inheritance." She said, "At the same time, he is a patriarchal person, and my mother listens to him. So after giving birth to me and finding out that I was a girl, he taught me all the warlock heritage in the family."

"Wait..." I was a little confused, "What kind of logic is this?"

"Maybe it's because I don't think I'm part of my own family after I get married, but if the Warlock inheritance is passed on to me, at least it won't be completely broken in terms of Warlock inheritance. It just so happens that my awareness is naturally relatively high, so I'm suitable for accepting the inheritance." " She said, "At first I didn't think it was a problem, but when I was ten years old, my younger brother was born. Their attitude towards my younger brother is completely different from mine, although my younger brother's awareness is obviously higher than mine, and he is more suitable for me. He accepted the inheritance of warlocks, but they didn't think about that at all, and what he was educated was completely normal worldview."

I understand this approach, "As long as the world view is consistent with the mainstream of the secular society, even people with high awareness will not encounter hidden incidents casually."

"Yes." She nodded, "As I became more sensible, I became more and more aware that I was insignificant to them. After that, I experienced some messy things. I broke off relations with them when I was 16 years old. I became independent, and later changed my name. Of course, it’s not a legal severance, and I will provide for them when they are old, after all, they raised me anyway.”

She continued, "Although I have a bad relationship with my parents, I still have a good relationship with my brother. I occasionally ask him out to play with me, uh, no... I play with him. Anyway, recently I heard from him Some bad news came, so I wanted to help him."

"So that's how it is..." A boy's figure naturally appeared in my mind, "The younger brother you mentioned... Could it be Qiao An."

Qiao An and Qiao Licao have the same surname, which fits the characteristic of high awareness, and it seems that they are about ten years younger than Qiao Licao.

There were three matchups in a row, and I had this conjecture logically.

"You...you know?" Qiao Gancao said in surprise, "Did the blue bird talk to you?"

"You said you changed your name, but your last name hasn't changed." I said.

She took it for granted, "Isn't the surname Qiao very good? It looks like a heroine. If it's Niu and Ma, I'll change it."

"It's too impolite for you to say that to people surnamed Niu and Ma..." I said, "Then, what danger did your brother encounter?"

Could it be the campus strange talk incident?But that incident has been resolved by me.

However, Qiao Licao's words still exceeded my expectations, "He said that he has always felt suspicious eyes recently."
