Qingye Supernatural Office Chapter 24

Chapter 24: As The Shadow Follows The Body (4)

"We will investigate that. But for Miss Zheng, it doesn't matter if it is or isn't a spiritual event, she should still go for counseling."

"I, I know... I will talk to her mom and dad…"

December 21, 2013: A search was conducted inside the school and the bird's nest and the broken amulet were found to be no different.

December 22, 2013: There was no abnormalities in the school surveillance video.

January 13, 2014: The investigation for the event has been going around for almost half a year and the client was contacted. Audio file 07820140113.wav.

"Long time no see, Miss Zheng. How do you feel recently?"

"It's ok. Thank you all. With the amulet, I have been doing good. And the psychiatrist...the psychiatrist talked to me and said that I may have been affected by a horror movie. Besides that, I thank you for the amulet. Can...can I buy a few more? I thought, I thought about keeping some spare ones...the doctor also said it would be better if I could rely on it."

"Of course you can. However, before that, let's talk about other things. We are asking you to come here this time because we have some questions for you."

"Yes, you may ask."

"In October 13, did you and Miss Duo partic.i.p.ated in the tourism festival activities in the Minqing?"

"Yes. We went to see the float parade and went to exhibition hall during the day."

"Is there a problem? We didn't do anything that day."

"Is there a problem, well we have to go on further with the conversation to see. We've said this to you the first time you visited, you might have done something that you didn't realize, so that you would encounter strange things."

"This, this isn't because I watched a horror movie?"

"Don't be nervous, Miss Zheng. From our investigation, the most obvious abnormal behavior in your last six months is to partic.i.p.ate in the tourism festival."

"What can be abnormal about a tourism festival? It's probably the government's, right? The foreigners who come are also organized by the government! Unless they are still…"

"Little girl, it has been a long time since we saw each other, did you forget what I said?"

"I...I think the psychiatrist is not wrong, it's all because I took Xiaorui to see a horror movie and now she's like that."

"Since the two of you have partic.i.p.ated in the tourism festival, then you should know that the activities during the festival aren't only the exhibition of the scenery from different countries, but also the introduction and experience of folk activities. Among them, the religious culture of each country is included. We are currently suspecting that the two of you must have done something during that period and got targeted by foreign evil spirits."

"That day, we did the same thing. It doesn't make sense that Xiaorui encountered that kind of thing. Am I okay?"

"We asked you two to come here today is to see if this is true or not. Please talk about in detail what happened during that period."

"I...s.h.i.+s.h.i.+…"

"Then I will talk about it."

"Please do."

"We went to the exhibition hall during the morning of the weekend. I remember we went to the exhibition hall of country A, B, and I. If it's about the religion then...we just saw country I's Milan Cathedral. It is like those 360 degree movie. After that, the staff gave out souvenirs for everyone, which is a fridge magnet and the postcard of the cathedral. Everyone got one and they were all the same. Besides that, there is nothing more. Most of the time was spent waiting on line. We didn't talk with anyone and just watched videos on our phone. At night, we watched the float and we saw some religious things there, but there were too many people at that time."

"And the next day?"

"What?"

"We found the records of your consumption. You two went to the exhibition on the first day of the weekend and went there the next day, right?"

"..."

"What happened? Are there any questions?"

"The next day...the next day we…"

"I can't remember it…Did you really find our consumption records?"

"Yes. The record shows that you two ordered the tickets for the night temple fair of the J National Pavilion on the second day."

"Ah!"

"I, I don't remember it. You guys found the records? Are you sure it's ours? How did you find it?"

SHAKE...SHAKE…

"This is the online reservation record, the registered name and phone number are the two of you and the pre-sale ticket has been taken away."

"How is that possible...I...I don't remember anything at all…"

"..."

"Miss Zheng, you like country J's culture right? Your backpack, your keys, and the walls of your bedroom have a lot of J's celebrity things. The celebrity that you liked was the special guest of the temple fair. With your financial sources and time period, you were likely to have went to that temple fair that day."

"I...but I... I don't remember anything…"

"It seems like what happened to you is related to that day."

"...Then, what should I do?"

"We have to figure out exactly what you did that day."

"Little girl, your face doesn't look that good, did you remember something?"

"Ah…."

"It's better not to hide it or else we will be misled or delayed and it's not a good thing for your friend, too."

"s.h.i.+s.h.i.+...s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, did you remember what happened that day?"

"I saw this...and I remembered some…"

"Just tell us what you remembered."

"That night, we went to the temple fair. It was like a poster, a long road with lots of lanterns hanging. It was very beautiful and at the end was a shrine. I remember...I remember that we took a lot of photos on that road, brought candied apple, even fished a goldfish...and went to the shrine to buy a painted horse to bless our a friends.h.i.+p…"

"That, that is the problem?"

"Do you just remember that?"

"Um...oh yes, kimono! We changed into kimonos! In front of the shrine, there was a shop that sold and rented out kimonos. We both...I forgot if it was rented or bought, but anyways we changed and wore wooden clogs. Xiaorui wasn't used to it and she almost fell. We hold hands and laughed...I laughed and said something...then...then we finally went to see a performance. It was kind of like a geisha dance...Xiaorui's favorite celebrity performed and there was a lot of fans…"

"Is there no relevant souvenirs in your homes?"

"No. If you didn't bring this up, we would've forgotten about it."

"I also didn't...that temple fair has been over for such a long time, and the shrine is gone, is it...I can't be saved?"

"Because it is organized by the governments of two countries, private companies partic.i.p.ating in the temple pair should also be registered, and it is not difficult to find those country J people. Please rest a.s.sured, Miss Zheng, if necessary, we will go to country J to deal with this situation."

"However, from what we have found, there were no problems with the shrine and the stall owners. In addition, the shrine is a copy of a famous shrine in country J, from which two priests and witches were invited. Therefore, we believe that the problem may be from something you two brought or something you two did and may not even have any connection with the temple fair. It's probably when you two went to the temple fair or after you came back, that you b.u.mped into something."

"Then, then what should I do?"

"I will first ask the two of you to go home and find anything that has been missing or happened to have extras of in your homes."

"Ok. Xiaorui…"

"Miss Zheng, you don't need to be afraid. The amulet has always worked, right?"

"Yes…"

"Then, it will continue to protect you. In the meantime, we will solve and find the cause of this problem and you will be fine."

"That's right, Xiaorui. You will be fine!"

"Mm. If...if I didn't go to that fair I would've been fine…"

"Xiaorui…"

"Miss Zheng, even if you didn't went, there will be no guaranteed that you will be safe."

Im guessing that country I is Italy and J is for j.a.pan. The author just wrote country and the corresponding letter.
