Hearing Gu Yan's question, Su Kun was also a bit puzzled.

"These past few days... I didn't go to any strange places..." He muttered under his breath while quickly reviewing his recent routes in his mind.

Gu Yan's meaning was that the dirty things he picked up on his body this time were different from last time. So when was last time?

Su Kun very naturally thought of that midnight when Gu Yan was floating in front of him, grabbing the jade... So to speak, last time should be referring to that midnight.

He almost immediately thought of an even earlier event - when Gu Yan hadn't cleared up the misunderstanding between them, after crawling out of the coffin, he had pounced directly at him, but unfortunately, passed directly through his body and rolled into the house next door.

That time, the little ghost that passed through his body seemed to also have a change in transparency. At the time he thought it was his own illusion, but now it seems that it wasn't.

From Gu Yan's actions these two times, it seems that as long as he touches this piece of jade, he can absorb the dirty things stained on it. So that time, when he passed through, he very likely also touched the jade and absorbed the dirty things on it, it's just that Gu Yan was burning with anger at the time and didn't notice, and Su Kun himself definitely couldn't have thought of this layer.

Su Kun stared straight at the little ghost, using it as a fixed point for his gaze, and muttered to himself, trying to sort out this series of events.

"The last time I got dirty things on me was after you passed through my body... Where did I go that time? Ah - I took a bus to the suburbs with Geng Zimo!" Su Kun clapped his hands.

Gu Yan heard him muttering in a low voice for a long time, speaking quickly and unclearly, completely indistinguishable. This time he suddenly raised his voice, presumably having some idea. So he opened his mouth and asked along with his words: "Why go to the suburbs?"

Su Kun thought of their purpose for going to the suburbs, and instantly deflated as if the air had been sucked out of him: "...Uh, to throw away the coffin."

Gu Yan: "..."

"Tsk... No, not the suburbs." Su Kun frowned and denied it himself, "Later that fake Taoist priest came to the door and poured a head and face full of black dog blood on me. If there was anything unclean, it was probably exorcised at that time... Then it was after that?"

Gu Yan: "..." Does this person have to speak out loud to think about problems?

"Then it was because I went back to the old district." When Su Kun thought this way, it connected.

The old district was too old, having housed who knows how many generations of people. There were some unclean things in the corners and alleys, which was why Su Kun was afraid to live there since he was young.

When he was little, he was much more sensitive than now. Even if he didn't really see any ghosts with complete outlines and appearances, he always felt that certain places made his hair stand on end and made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

"The dirty things from last time should have been inadvertently picked up in the area of our old house." Su Kun felt that this guess was eight or nine out of ten.

The fact that he could live there safely for so many years indicates that at most, it's not very clean there, but there's nothing too dangerous.

"Mm." Gu Yan listened and nodded, not interrupting his train of thought, only continuing to ask along with his words: "So?"

"In the past few days, I've only been going back and forth between three places, one is the old district, one is here, and one is S University." Su Kun explained, "So, the old district can be ruled out. If it was something picked up there, it should be similar to last time and not too dangerous. As for here, I've been living here for so long, if there was something dangerous it would have gotten on me long ago. It's impossible that you didn't discover it last time but discovered it this time. Then it can only be at S University."

If it was Geng Zimo, hearing Su Kun rarely thinking about something so clearly and properly, he would definitely cross his legs, clap twice, and then say in a cheeky manner: "Not bad, the dog's brain finally worked for once."

But General Gu was obviously much more decent than Geng Zimo. He only pondered for a moment and said: "Makes sense. Then at..."

He found that the syllable Su Kun said was very strange, so he paused, skipped over that place name, "That place, have you ever encountered strange people or unusual events?"

Schools have always been a source of many strange stories.

Flipping through all kinds of ghost stories of unknown truth, most of them either happen in hospitals or schools. So, Su Kun didn't find it strange that S University had unclean things. But if that thing was very dangerous, that would be a different story.

He went to S University merely to look at those shops one by one according to the rental information online. For some he went in and consulted with the boss for a few words, for others he only walked past the door.

Moreover, he always went during broad daylight, what strange people could he encounter? If there were really ghosts, they definitely wouldn't dare to wander around under the blazing sun, right?

Even the goods in front of him with the potential of a ferocious ghost, previously only crawled out of the coffin at night or when the curtains were pulled tightly and the room was dark.

As for unusual events, there were even less of those!

Seeing that he had been frowning and looking completely puzzled, Gu Yan knew that he probably hadn't encountered any obviously strange people or events.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes again and asked Su Kun about the appearance of S University.

"I didn't go into the school, I only walked around on that street outside. That commercial street is especially long, extending from the school's main gate all the way to the small west gate. There are many shops, big and small, but restaurants are the main ones-" Su Kun explained to Gu Yan while gesturing with his hands.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Yan: "Shops? Did you buy anything?"

Su Kun chuckled dryly a couple of times: "No." In order to compare the overall preferences of S University students, he did eat quite a bit. He ordered one or two things from several popular shops and tasted the flavors. Of course, he didn't miss out on the drinks either.

If Gu Yan could hear what he was thinking in his heart at this moment, he would definitely vomit blood silently with a deadpan face: Food and drink are also things that need to be bought...

Since he couldn't get to the bottom of it after asking for half a day, Gu Yan could only give up.

Just then, the sound of the door opening came from outside, probably the other person coming back. He glanced at Su Kun, then turned his head and drifted towards the coffin without a word. It wasn't until he closed the coffin lid and curled up again in this dark, enclosed space that a crack appeared in Gu Yan's expression-

Whether Su Kun encountered something dangerous or not was Su Kun's own business. What the hell was he so concerned about!

Sitting in front of the computer, Su Kun, who had been racking his brain for half a day, didn't realize there was anything wrong with this. Instead, he felt that his relationship with that little ghost had made obvious progress, which was truly gratifying.

He heard Geng Zimo's footsteps in the living room after putting on his slippers, and decided to go out and tell him the good news.

Opening the bedroom door, sure enough, he saw Geng Zimo sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs, turning on the TV, slightly raising his chin, with a punchable look on his face as if waiting for someone to pay respects.

Su Kun restrained his inner urge to pluck this peacock bald, and happily described to him what happened in the afternoon, emphasizing again his "loved by people, welcomed by coffins" nature, even being able to pull someone with evil ghost potential to the same side.

However, Geng Zimo didn't pay any attention to the progress of his relationship with that little ghost at all. Instead, he successfully found the key point from Su Kun's rambling narrative: "So after discussing for so long, you two still haven't figured out what you offended at S University?"

Su Kun: "Uh... You could say that."

Geng Zimo smiled slightly: "Very efficient indeed."

Su Kun: "..."

"By the way," in order to prevent Geng Zimo from continuing to diss him from various angles, Su Kun changed the subject: "When I went out this morning, I seemed to hear people say that a celebrity is coming to your branch store?"

Geng Zimo nodded: "Yeah. A newly popular singer under Huatian is coming here for an album signing event."

"Someone actually chose to hold a signing event in a small place like Li City?" Su Kun found it quite odd.

"Apparently his mother used to be from Li City, so he took the initiative to request adding this place to the list of cities for the signing events." Speaking of this, Geng Zimo seemed to think of something, twitched the corners of his mouth, looking quite troubled, "That's not the point. The point is, because this is the first time the Li City branch has held such an event, and that celebrity happens to have a good relationship with Unic's top management..."

"So?"

"So I heard the weird boss is going to grace us with his presence to provide guidance. The branch manager here got some screw loose and wants me to accompany him the whole time during those two days." =_=

Su Kun grinned, revealing a particularly dazzling set of white teeth: "Hehe."

Geng Zimo: "..."
