Chapter 61: Jenny’s arrangement
Lushan said that the feud had already been made, and I fully understood that the so-called spirit possession was not completely free of cost. In this case, Chengxin forced the spirit power attached to the eagle to be erased, and the owner of the spirit power would naturally be harmed to a certain extent.
If Brother Chengxin’s spiritual power was stronger, he could even turn the opponent into a fool through this fight.
Unfortunately, even our master-level elders who came here did not have this ability. Those who can possess spirits are all powerful.
Time was running out, and we couldn’t afford to be distracted. With Lushan’s reminder, we were once again in a “life-or-death race.” After all, if something like this happened the first time, it would happen the second time.
Maybe we were quick to react, or maybe we were just lucky, but in any case, the rest of the journey was uneventful and we arrived safely.
The county seat of the Tibetan region was originally not very populated, and on such an afternoon, there were not many pedestrians on the streets. Our group of disheveled people running into the county seat was quite conspicuous, attracting several people from the shops along the roadside to peek and watch.
“Go back to the hotel to get our things… and bring three more people with me to get the car. We’ll leave right away.” Despite being out of breath, Lu Shan was afraid that we would let our guard down once we entered the county seat, and kept reminding us while panting.
I slowed down a little and said to Lushan, “Isn’t it safe in the county seat?” To be honest, I was exhausted these days and I was very eager to sleep in bed.
“It’s safe. They wouldn’t dare to mess with us in the county seat. But this is the most prosperous place within a hundred miles, so even without the use of spiritualism, they can find us quickly, not to mention that the master of spiritualism already knows what we look like. Lushan stopped and began to explain to everyone. When he got to this point, he paused for a moment and then said, “The first place they will look for us is here. Maybe they are on their way here right now. Don’t doubt their strength. Even if we get to Sikkim, we may not be safe. But it’s better than being here. Let’s just run out first.”
Lushan’s explanation was a bit vague, but his few words always revealed the seriousness of the situation. Out of trust for our companions, we didn’t waste any more time. We split into two groups, hurried back to the hotel to get our luggage, then got into the car, and left the county in a hurry, all the way to the west.
When we got to the car, Lu Shan’s nerves finally relaxed a little, but not by much. He started telling me, “Chengyi, three cars are too much of a target. Creatures within a hundred miles of here could become their eyes and ears. If we really encounter them, it will be a fierce battle, and we may even all be killed.”
I was in the car, organizing the various “fake” documents that Jenny had made for us. When I heard Lushan talk about this, I couldn’t help but raise my eyebrows and say, “Why tell me this? If there is a battle, can it be avoided?”
“I just want to give you a heads-up,” said Lushan, somewhat sheepishly. Then he hesitated for a long time before hesitantly saying, “Chengyi, you don’t blame me?”
“Why should I blame you?”
“Don’t you think I caused this?” Lushan said with some embarrassment.
At this point, I had already finished organizing the documents in my hand and said lightly, “If we’re talking about this, I can cause trouble better than you. What do you think?”
“Haha!” Lushan laughed all of a sudden, and even Tao Bai in the car laughed shyly along with him.
As for Chengxin, he was looking at his fingernails, very seriously. When we were laughing, Chengxin suddenly asked me very seriously, “Chengyi, when did I cut my fingernails? Or is this a weird shape?”
While he was talking, he held out his left hand. I looked at Chengxin’s nails with cold sweat. They were neatly serrated. This young fox’s aesthetic sense was a bit weird. But what should I say to Chengxin? Should I say that you had another attack like last time?
Just as my mind was in a complete mess, the satellite phone I had placed next to the car seat rang again, which scared the sweat out of me, but fortunately it was also a temporary way to divert the embarrassing topic.
“Hello, Mr. Ge?” This phone call, Mr. Bai once told me, would only be between Ge Quan and me, so when I picked up the phone, I subconsciously greeted Ge Quan.
“Mr. Ge, it’s me! I’m pretty and virtuous, and my heart is warm!” I guess I had three dark lines on my face. Pretty and virtuous, and my heart is warm. How come Jenny is always so humorous?
But how could it be Jenny calling? I remember she was really busy.
But although I was puzzled, I actually dared not be rude in the slightest. I coughed and asked, “So Jenny, what’s up?”
“I just want to say that you’ve really grown up. You haven’t even left the country yet, and you’ve already gotten into trouble with a bunch of people who are even more ruthless than the evil cult. Can you tell me what you were thinking?” Jenny’s voice didn’t pause at all. Although we were on the phone, I could still feel her excitement, as if her spit had sprayed onto my face in that moment.
But a group of ruthless people, does that mean…? I thought about it for a moment, glanced at Lushan, and came to the answer. Could it be that Jenny was talking about the group of lamas?
Thinking about this, I naturally became serious and said to Jenny, “Jenny, I’m not sure what kind of force you’re talking about, but if we’re talking about trouble, more than an hour ago, we did get into a few problems with some trumpeters, and then for some reason, a guy who can control spirits came to monitor us. But, Jenny, are you clairvoyant or clairaudient? How did you know so quickly?”
I was really curious how Jenny could receive the news so quickly!
“Bullshit! I’m a Taoist, when would I know about Buddhist methods? Don’t ask me how I know, just think of me as a well-informed person with a strong signal! Anyway, I guess you’re running away too, so I’m just reminding you to run faster. After entering India, you should go to a city called Raipur and find an Indian named Johnny, and then you’ll be safe for a while.” Jenny’s tone was rather gloating.
“Johnny? An Indian with a foreign name?” I couldn’t help but joke, but I was actually very depressed. Jenny gave me such a little clue, where am I supposed to find someone? Besides, I only know about Mumbai in India, what kind of city is Raipur? I was in a mess, not to mention that we had to cross Sikkim.
“If I tell you his real name, according to the Indian’s confusing names, I might not be able to tell you for an hour, and according to your IQ, it’s probably hard to remember! Remember, just find Johnny! I’ll let Ge Quan contact you.” Jenny said quickly, and then I began to deeply doubt my IQ on the other end of the phone, not even being able to remember a name.
“Jenny, you know that we are being chased by a group of ruthless and vicious people from your center, so can you help us?” In fact, I don’t know why, but I feel very relaxed in the presence of such a powerful Jenny.
“Help you? That’s a big tumor. I can’t move it now, let alone move them. They will involve many forces in the Tibetan region. However, they are very wrong. If you shoulder the heritage of your master, you will be at odds with them one day, but now is not the time. You run! To be honest, the trouble you caused this time was not completely useless. At least I learned a little about the secrets of those lamas. I might as well tell you that the four major forces that are now working most closely with them are them. I guess you’re a thorn in their side even if you don’t provoke them.” Jenny’s tone was unusually serious, and she sounded hesitant.
Huh? Is this fate? I was just helping Lushan out!
I was holding the phone when I suddenly realized that I was not the mastermind of anything. The mastermind was clearly my master, who had passed on all the things he had not had time to cause trouble with to me.
I was about to say something, but Jenny quickly said, “Okay, Chengyi, that’s it. Run faster and try not to meet their main force, otherwise you’ll have to fend for yourself. I’m busy and can’t help you.”
After she hung up, I stared at the phone for a while, then looked at Lu Shan, who was driving, and said, “Lu Shan, you’re going to have to tell me who those lamas are! If you can, you can also tell me your story.”
“Huh?” Lushan was clearly distracted. When I asked him this, he suddenly looked startled, and the car almost ran off the road.
