Chapter 145 The Saintess is the Disciple

"Brother Jiang." Huai Yi sat up, thinking as he asked, "Do you remember that monk we saw when we got on the bus? The prayer wheel in his hand looked very similar to the one in the Saintess's hand."

The Fatty chimed in, "That's right, just different sizes. The gemstones inlaid on them were about the same."

"And the mission the monk gave us." Huai Yi seemed a little unnatural, shrinking his neck as he said, "He said one of his disciples was lost and needed our help."

Jiang Cheng nodded, glancing at the two of them naturally. "Didn't you see it?"

"That Saintess?"

"Yeah." Jiang Cheng leaned back on the sofa and said in a calm tone, "That Saintess is the master's disciple. We helped the Saintess reseal the Hungry Ghost, which can be considered as completing the mission assigned by the master."

Huai Yi had already guessed half of the story that the Saintess was the master's disciple, so he wasn't too surprised. He just sighed with regret, "It's a pity for the Saintess, such a beautiful woman, and she ended up like that."

Recalling the scene when they first saw the Saintess's head, the Fatty still felt a chill running down his back. The head was grotesquely twisted and elongated, obviously suffering inhuman torture before being completely eroded.

The Saintess was also a disciple in her lifetime, and so were they. The thought that one day in the future, they would die as miserably as the Saintess made Huai Yi's heart sink to the bottom.

Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder. Huai Yi turned his head, and Jiang Cheng raised his chin at him. "Go get a few bottles of wine, let's celebrate."

"Celebrate..." Huai Yi really didn't think there was anything to celebrate. They were only temporarily safe, but that bus was still waiting for them, waiting for them to get on again next time.

Another hand patted Huai Yi on the back, very suddenly, scaring him so much that he almost jumped up. "Brother Huai Yi, the doctor is right!" The Fatty said excitedly, "Since we came out this time, we should celebrate!"

Before long, the three of them gathered together, with Jiang Cheng and the Fatty sandwiching Huai Yi in the middle. The three raised their glasses together. It was obvious that Huai Yi was preoccupied, but Jiang Cheng and the Fatty were in high spirits.

"Brother Huai Yi." The Fatty, holding a bottle and drinking directly from it, carefully poured a small half glass of beer for Huai Yi, saying very righteously, "That's all you get, remember to finish it!"

With the help of the alcohol, the Fatty and Huai Yi fell into a deep sleep. Jiang Cheng first carried Huai Yi up, then came down and carried the Fatty up, settling them both in. After a simple wash, Jiang Cheng returned to his bedroom.

He subconsciously closed the bedroom door, but after thinking about it, he opened it again. From his position, he could just see the snoring Fatty and Huai Yi with a lewd smile on his face, muttering something in his mouth.

He didn't dislike the current life, on the contrary, he even enjoyed it a little.

He went to the window, opened it a crack, and the cool night breeze blew in, dispelling some of the drunkenness. Originally, with his alcohol tolerance, these drinks were nothing, but when he was with the Fatty and Huai Yi, it became a different story.

After Jiang Cheng enjoyed the breeze for a while, he turned around and walked back to the mattress, sat down. The things that had happened recently were summarized in his mind. He had a habit of thinking and organizing, which Lin Wan'er had taught him.

Thinking of this woman, Jiang Cheng's eyes became complicated. In fact, thinking about it carefully, Lin Wan'er had revealed quite a few flaws over the years. Such a single and beautiful woman, with such a large network of contacts behind her, was still thinking about the little money he made every day. It just didn't make sense.

Even if she had some strange hobbies, she hadn't done anything too outrageous to him over the years.

At least not when she was sober.

But he had never suspected her. To be precise, it wasn't that he didn't suspect her, but that he didn't dare to suspect her, because once he had doubts, it meant denying the good she had done to him before.

If even this woman's feelings for him were fake in this world, then what would be real?

Thinking and thinking, waiting for drowsiness to strike, he fell on the mattress and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Cheng was awakened by the sounds downstairs. He walked out of the bedroom door, went down the stairs, and saw that the Fatty and Huai Yi were already dressed, as if they were about to go out.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Cheng's head was still a little dizzy, as if he was still hungover.

"Doctor, you're awake." The Fatty scratched his head, embarrassed to say, "Brother Huai and I were thinking of sneaking over to that shopping mall where the paranormal event happened to take a look."

"You know, Brother Jiang, we have tickets for the bus, and ordinary paranormal events don't bother us at all, so we didn't wake you up when we saw you weren't awake." As if afraid that Jiang Cheng would worry, Huai Yi explained, "Don't worry, Brother Fugui and I will be fine."

Jiang Cheng picked up his coat from the sofa and put it on, walking towards the door. "Let's go together."

The group took a shortcut and arrived at the shopping mall they had visited before. According to the bar owner, the chairman of the Guangmao Chamber of Commerce had an accident in the Julong Shopping Mall. They had also seen the scene inside, which could be described as tragic.

These were all blood debts owed by the Night Watchmen.

Although the shopping mall was still sealed off, there were already some pedestrians around, and there were also breakfast carts at the alley behind the shopping mall. It seemed that the basic order of life had been restored.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng carefully observed the surroundings and didn't see any police nearby.

"Brother Jiang, are we still going in?" Huai Yi asked in a low voice. Currently, there was only a police cordon in front of the shopping mall, making it much easier to enter than before.

Standing in place for a while, seemingly sensing the situation inside the shopping mall, Jiang Cheng said in a low voice, "That aura inside has disappeared."

Huai Yi was staring at the shopping mall door. Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, he retracted his gaze and nodded, "That's right, I feel it too. Inside...the shopping mall seems to be empty, completely different from when we came last time."

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" The Fatty tilted his head and asked.

"No need." Jiang Cheng shook his head. "Let's go back."

Since one place was like this, then the remaining paranormal events should have been resolved as well, and resolved very cleanly and thoroughly. Now, the important thing was to figure out who did it.

While Huai Yi went to buy breakfast, the Fatty leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, should we contact Boss Lin? We haven't heard from her for so long, I'm worried..."

After noticing Jiang Cheng's expression, the Fatty immediately stopped talking, and also explained, trying to prove his position, "Doctor, I'm definitely on your side, it's just...I'm just worried that if something happens to Boss Lin, you'll be sad."

"She'll be fine." Jiang Cheng said, "If we contact her rashly, it will only bring her trouble."
