"According to our investigation, its current location should be near Ocean University in the south of City H, but we don't know the exact location. Like the compass, if no one takes the initiative to activate it, we can only go and get it ourselves! As for its use, you will know when you get it.”
I understood what the Holy Maiden meant. She wanted me to go to that area personally to find the pearl shells.
This was a request from me at the gates of hell, and it was also for what I should do. Now that I had a goal, I felt a lot more relieved. The Holy Maiden asked me about Zi Yan's memory loss and whether I had a countermeasure. Should I let the ghost doctor Guan Yan treat her again? I honestly replied that I would temporarily use my blood to maintain her spiritual energy and think of a way in the future.
The Holy Maiden did not insist. She asked Xu 'Er to send me back to the Yang Realm and to the funeral parlor in the west of the city. I stepped into the small square and was about to walk out when I saw the fat director smiling as he walked in with Old Hong. The two of them walked past me as if nothing had happened. They just glanced at me unintentionally and went into the office building together as if they didn't even know me.
It seemed that the Holy Maiden was right. In the past, they had only temporarily lost their souls. Now that they had returned to normal, they naturally wouldn't remember what had happened during that period of time that wasn't controlled by their own consciousness, so they wouldn't remember me.
I drove straight back to the hospital and went to see Xiang Ling. But she was resting, so I didn't wake her up. I pulled Li Changtian into the corridor.
"Big Brother Su Li, how did it go? Where are the ghosts?" Li Changtian asked.
"Don't worry, everything has been taken care of. It's safe here. Oh right, how is Xiangling's body?”I asked.
"Don't worry, brother. It's just a fracture in her leg. It's not a big deal. Now that it's fixed, she just needs to rest in peace. Actually, the doctor said that Xiangling could be discharged from the hospital, but I considered that she had nowhere else to go, so I arranged for her to stay in a single room in the hospital. This is better than staying in a hotel, and there is someone to take care of her.”
With Li Changtian around, at least in City H, it's much easier for us to do things. We don't have to worry about money. Of course, I came here for a more important reason. I wanted to ask him about Ocean University.
"Ocean University!" Li Changtian heard that I was going to ask about this, so he was interested. He told me," Brother, Ocean University is the best school here. It's located by the sea. The environment is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and there are many beautiful girls. I only know a few girls who are the school belles. Do you want to introduce them to you?"”
"What are you thinking!" I hit him hard on the head and continued," Don't go too far with me. Just tell me if you're familiar with the situation inside. Have you heard any particularly bizarre stories about the school?”
"Well, I really don't know. I'm just looking for beautiful women to play with. I'm not interested in what the principal looks like or what's going on inside.”Li Changtian smiled evilly, but he could tell that it was the truth. This guy used to be a rich playboy.
However, he knew nothing about that school. If he wanted to go there to find the whereabouts of the pearl shells, it would be very difficult since he was unfamiliar with the place. Even if I wandered around aimlessly, I might not gain anything. Moreover, I might be treated as a suspicious person, so the gains would not make up for the losses.
"But, Brother Su." Li Changtian suddenly thought of something and said," I know a vice-principal of Haiyang. He used to be my father's classmate. We were close. I often went to his house to play when I was young. If you have anything you want to know, I can ask him for you."”
I was very satisfied with this result and replied excitedly," That's great, but don't ask directly. You won't get anything out of it. If you can arrange for me to go to school without arousing suspicion, that'll be fine!”
"What? Are you going to personally stay in the school? Then he could only go to school. But now, all the universities had to take the college entrance examination and recruit all of them!”
"Changtian, you want me to take the college entrance exam like this? Are you kidding me?”
"Haha…"
The two of us laughed out loud at the same time. Whether it was age or image, I didn't look like a high school graduate. Moreover, I went out to work when I was sixteen. I was already a bad student. After so many years, even if you beat me to death, I won't be able to get into such a good university!
"Alright, Changtian. I think I can only be a dorm manager or a cleaner, but I don't think I'm suitable for it at my age. I'm afraid I'm only suitable to be a security guard.”I said.
"Alright, I'll ask Uncle. As long as it's not a teacher, it shouldn't be a problem to arrange a temporary job for other positions!”
With Li Changtian's promise, I felt more at ease. He was reliable. He could always fulfill his promise. Without the ability and confidence, Changtian wouldn't make a promise.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for this matter to be settled. Changtian said that I was his distant cousin who had returned from the army and wanted to be a security guard at Ocean University to gain experience. The salary didn't matter. The vice-principal symbolically said that he would discuss it and quickly replied that there was no problem and that he could immediately take up his post.
Li Changtian drove me to the entrance of Ocean University. The vice-principal was busy, but he had already made arrangements. A security guard who was about 50 years old received the instructions and was there to welcome me.
I thanked Changtian and told him not to tell Li Xiangling that I was back. Just say that I was at the gates of hell. Because with Xiangling's character, as long as she could move, she might run to the university to find me. However, nothing was known about that place at the moment. It was also unclear if there would be any dangerous ambushes waiting there. In comparison, it was safer to let her stay in the hospital. Moreover, if a Taoist nun went to look for me, my identity would be easily exposed.
That uncle was smiling and looked very honest. He was also very polite to me, not as serious as he was to a newcomer. I thought that maybe it was because I was personally arranged by the vice principal, so he thought that I had some relationship with the vice principal, so he was so friendly!
However, since he was very friendly, I naturally had to treat him politely.
Uncle first brought me to familiarize myself with the school. Ocean University was built on the southernmost coast of City H, just like its name. There were buildings on the east, north, and west sides. The stadium was in the middle, and the sea was in the south. Therefore, there was no wall on the south side. It was simply a natural barrier.
Ocean University's main entrance was located in the north, which was also where the security room was located. After the uncle took me around, he brought me back to the security room." Su Li, we security guards only look at the main entrance, but it's actually very tiring. We have to question all the cars that come in and out of the school. We also have to interrogate those who don't look right. Most importantly, we have to patrol various places in the school frequently to prevent any accidents from happening to the students and teachers here.”
I nodded repeatedly as I listened. I was secretly delighted. If I needed to patrol, it was exactly what I wanted. Otherwise, what was the use of staying at the door for me to find pearl shells?
"However, you have to remember!" The security guard suddenly changed the topic, and his face suddenly darkened. He leaned directly into my ear and whispered mysteriously," There is a small lake behind the school library. Try to stay away from that lake, especially at night. Don't go there. Just turn around when you patrol the library!”
"Oh? Why?" I was interested.
However, the uncle obviously didn't want to say so much to me. He quickly waved his hand and said," Child, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't ask so many questions. As long as you follow what I say, there won't be any problems. But if you don't listen and something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you today."”
Looking at his expression, I knew that he wasn't joking. It seemed that the lake behind the library was indeed extraordinary and probably quite dangerous. However, it was precisely because of its uniqueness that it aroused my interest. Could it be that something strange had happened in the lake because the thing I was looking for was nearby?
I fell into deep thought for a moment and was a little stunned. Uncle saw me like this and suddenly laughed again.
"Haha, Su Li, you don't have to be so nervous. I said that as long as you don't get close to that lake, the other places are fine!”So he thought I was afraid, so he comforted me." Besides, there are many handsome boys and pretty girls among the students here. You're still young. It might be nice to get to know a girl!”
" Alright, this uncle actually has the same tone as Li Changtian. Maybe it's because he loves beauty. It's human nature. If it was in the past, I would probably be interested in the girls here. But now that I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, I've become dull."
At this moment, Zi Yan, who was in the Bone Blood Saber, sent a message that she was hungry again. I knew that this female ghost wanted to drink my blood again. She was really very greedy. But it hasn't been long since I fed her in the funeral parlor. How can my blood recover so easily?
"Be good, I don't have enough blood. I'll give it to you in a while, okay?”I still needed to coax her like I was teasing a child.
Zi Yan casually said "oh", but she was obviously unhappy.
If I didn't let her drink, she would scratch me in her heart. It was just like how she deliberately stabbed my heart when I had contact with Li Xiangling in the past. Now, she wasn't as ruthless, but she would still use this method to express her dissatisfaction.
In the end, after going back and forth with Jessica, my external behavior was probably a little strange. The security uncle was stunned. He didn't know what was wrong with me. He probably felt that I was a little strange, so he let me go out and walk around first to familiarize myself with the school's situation.
This was exactly what I wanted. I couldn't wait to go to the lakeside to take a look. What kind of strange situation could make a middle-aged uncle so secretive?
