Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 84: Waking Up and Forgetting Everything
The first time he went to explore the Outer Dimension couldn’t be called a complete success.
There were still many troubles unresolved, many questions unanswered.
But at least everyone was able to return in one piece, and that could be considered the best outcome.
You couldn’t do it like the Main God Space, cramming a bunch of people in and losing an entire household registry...
Of course, their goal was to select the elites, and they didn’t have to take responsibility for the dead.
In this world, almost all things that sound cool, handsome, fashionable, and free have one thing in common—they don’t consider the consequences.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t have such high-level life pursuits.
He felt that it was great just to have his brothers alive around him, able to joke around, tease cats, and play with dogs.
After returning to the Real World, the wounds on Eryang and Gangtou’s bodies had vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Only Dumpling still seemed a bit dazed.
Similarly, the collected medicines and the Springfield Rifle and ammunition that had given him great courage also disappeared without a trace.
Only the pistol and its magazine remained.
Wang Yunxiao couldn’t fathom the reasoning behind it.
He hadn’t fired the gun, just aimed the pistol at Dumpling’s grandmother. Was that enough to be considered contaminated?
Also, Dumpling said that when he saw his grandmother, she actually appeared.
What about the girl who loved Youtiao, why didn’t she come out with the Youtiao? Was it because Dumpling was injured?
And those sleepwalking students...
There were simply too many questions.
But a pot of boiling hot lamb soup noodles was enough to make one cast aside all doubts and worries.
Nurse Liu prepared a late-night meal for them, stewing a pot of meat soup with two cans of braised lamb, adding two radishes and five pounds of noodles, steaming and fragrant.
A bowl of lamb soup noodles in the middle of the night could instantly relax one’s spirit, void the mind of all thoughts, and just make one want to burp contentedly and sleep.
"Let’s ask more questions tomorrow, today let’s just go back and get some good rest," said Nurse Liu concisely.
"The cost of the lamb cans will be deducted from your gains from this trip. All the things brought back must be handed over for contamination cleansing before returning them to you."
It was not necessarily a matter of haggling over two cans; ultimately, they didn’t want this trip to end up costing them...
Wang Yunxiao was also unclear about how much contamination Little Gourd had collected, or, say, whether the body of the Lotus Seed Pod Monster was as heavy as normal pork.
It is said that ghosts have no weight.
The scene was too chaotic at the time, and he hadn’t thought about that.
After eating, they returned to the dormitory to sleep, and the night passed without words.
Waking up in the morning, his mind was still muddled, feeling the fatigue of insufficient sleep.
Indeed, he hadn’t slept for many hours.
While washing his face, Wang Yunxiao saw Dumpling standing by the window in a daze, so he walked over and tapped him, "Don’t think too much, we’ll ask during class tonight..."
"Huh?"
Dumpling looked confused, "What am I thinking about?"
Wang Yunxiao paused for a moment, and the two stared at each other, eye to eye.
"You... don’t remember what happened last night?"
"Hiss..."
As soon as this topic was brought up, Dumpling subconsciously inhaled sharply and touched his face, "Brother, my face isn’t ruined, is it?"
"It’s not about that, never mind..."
Wang Yunxiao waved his hand and turned to walk over to Youtiao, whispering, "Do you still remember what happened last night?"
Youtiao looked at him as if he were a fool, "Bro, did you lose your memory again?"
"It’s not me who lost memory; tell me everything you remember from the beginning."
Seeing the serious expression on Wang Yunxiao’s face, Youtiao frowned slightly and thought before saying, "Didn’t we go to that place? Brother, you went to the school gate to meet Third Master Ding, and then we mysteriously entered. It was pitch dark inside, and we couldn’t see anything. We all got separated, but later you found me and we went together to find Chen Yan, and we encountered that monster..."
"Stop!"
Wang Yunxiao interrupted his recollection, "Do you remember how exactly I found you?"
Hearing this question, Youtiao suddenly hesitated, "I don’t remember much, Brother, are you suggesting I should remember?"
Wang Yunxiao stared at him and asked, "Do you remember Dumpling’s grandma?"
Youtiao thought for a while and then shook his head, "I know Dumpling had a grandma. She used to give us fried twisted dough sticks during the New Year... But it’s been so long, I can’t remember what she looked like."
"No, that’s not right!"
Seeing Wang Yunxiao’s troubled expression, the surrounding comrades were also drawn in. Matuan whispered, "Brother, what’s wrong with you? Possessed again?"
Guozi slapped him on the head, "Can’t you ever hope for something good? What’s wrong with Brother? Who’s behaving oddly?"
Unlike Matuan, Guozi never doubted that something was wrong with Wang Yunxiao, he just wanted to know who to cut down next.
Wang Yunxiao looked up and asked, "What did we eat last night?"
"Mutton stewed noodles!"
"Where did the mutton come from?"
"Nurse Liu brought canned mutton!"
"Where did she get canned mutton? Are we sure it was mutton that we ate?"
Too tired last night, Wang Yunxiao hadn’t thought deeply about this question. But recalling it now, something seemed off.
Where did the school get canned mutton? The meatiest thing in the school was the luncheon meat in the air-raid shelter! Nurse Liu ate in the cafeteria with other staff daily. If she had been hoarding canned meat, why wasn’t it found in the infirmary yesterday?
The second question, he asked Eryang.
Eryang’s uncle was a butcher and had unique insights in this area.
Eryang nodded, "It was mutton, alright, but they added something else to mask the bitterness of the medicine, using soy sauce to make it taste like it was braised, which really wasn’t tasty."
Medicine, huh...
If it were just a simple late-night snack, then you wouldn’t mind even if they mixed sand in it, as these people who barely tasted meat a few times a year wouldn’t care much.
"Alright, don’t worry about this issue for now, we’ll talk about it later."
Wang Yunxiao thought for a while and decided to shelf this matter for now.
Although suspicious, it was not an immediate priority.
"Guozi, Eryang, after eating, grab your tools and come out with me."
The Lotus Seed Pod Monster might have been eliminated, but its physical body in the real world could still exist.
Compared to the little secrets kept by the advisors, this roaming demon outside was the most urgent issue to resolve at the moment.
If it were to awaken from the Dreamland, regain its intelligence, and start using its expertise in sneaky and underhanded tactics, with the resources and information Wang Yunxiao currently held, they were almost helpless against it.
Therefore, to cut the weeds, one must remove the roots, seize the opportunity when it is weak, and ensure no threats remain.
