Chapter 145 The Talisman Turned to Ashes
Many people in the Shanshan livestream room also felt warm all over, and An Qingjie thought it was just a psychological effect. But after some hesitation, he decided to contact Shanshan.
"Shanshan, I failed the college entrance examination twice. Am I qualified to ask you for a lucky charm? I haven't given you any gifts..."
An Qingjie didn't expect that he actually received that glittering reply, which not only promised to send him something, but also said words of encouragement to him.
When the flashing message popped up, An Qingjie was staring at the phone screen in a daze, and his heart seemed to be gently touched by a gentle hand.
"Don't be discouraged. One or two failures don't mean anything. There's still a long way to go in life. You have the courage to pursue your dreams, so you deserve this luck. Just wait for the express delivery."
Looking at the few lines of words sent by Shanshan, An Qingjie's eyes suddenly became wet. He had been beaten repeatedly by failure over the years, and he had heard too many sighs and seen too many disappointed eyes. Such pure and warm encouragement was like a ray of light shining directly into the darkest corner of his heart.
A few days later, the package arrived. An Qingjie opened it with great trepidation. Inside was a simple, exquisite mahogany box, its surface engraved with faint, mysterious symbols that felt warm to the touch. He opened the box and found a white satin sachet embroidered with bamboo. It was small enough to fit on his keychain.
There was also a handwritten note attached to it, with the handwriting being elegant and freehand: "This talisman carries my best wishes. I hope you have good luck in the exam and turn all the regrets of the past into the strength to rise up at this moment. Believe in yourself, you can do it! - That Shanshan".
An Qingjie's eyes sparkled and his heart was filled with emotion.
He reached for the sachet with trembling hands, but unexpectedly, the hand that touched the sachet was burned by the sudden heat. An Qingjie subconsciously withdrew his hand.
When I touched it again, the burning sensation disappeared.
Because this feeling only lasted for a moment, An Qingjie thought it was just an illusion.
Looking at the sparkling blessing words, An Qingjie thought for a moment and decided to open the sachet and put these words in it.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the sachet, he found that one of the non-woven bags inside was actually filled with ashes.
Even if An Qingjie didn't understand, he knew that this was definitely wrong.
So I took a photo for that Shanshan.
"Sparkling, is there something wrong with me? I was thinking of putting what you wrote together. Is it that I can't open it?"
An Qingjie regretted it so much. You know, since receiving the shining blessing in the last live broadcast room, An Qingjie has been able to sleep well these few days. Although he still can't concentrate on studying, he feels much more at ease. But he didn't expect that he would break the shining blessing talisman after finally getting it.
Shanshan looked at the talisman and wondered what it was that he didn't understand. He then said, "It's nothing. It might be a problem with the magnetic field. Don't worry, I'll get someone to take a look at it for you and bring you another one when the time comes. Don't worry!"
Shanshan said don't worry, but sent the picture to Yu Fei.
At first, Yu Fei didn’t understand what this meant. Didn’t the talisman just take effect and turn into ashes?
Wait, the talisman worked?
Yu Fei hurriedly asked, "Is this one of the five people you sent out from your livestream? Who is he? Where is he?"
Shanshan looked at Yu Fei and knew that he would take care of it, so she felt relieved. After sending the address, Shanshan just waited for the result from Yu Fei.
Shanshan had learned too little Daoist magic, so she could recognize advanced Daoist magic like this, but she couldn't decipher it. If Yu Fei didn't care, she would have to ask the Xuanshu Sect for help.
I just don't know if it can work across time and space.
When Yu Fei and the two of them came to An Qingjie's school, the students and teachers, including An Qingjie, were a little confused.
Because Yu Fei's identity is special, they will only use the identity of the special operations team when dealing with special groups of people. In front of ordinary people, they are just ordinary police officers.
Soon after An Qingjie was called away, rumors spread throughout the school that An Qingjie had given up because of his poor performance in the exams, and that he had become a gangster instead of staying in the classroom. Now that the police had come, it must have been because he had committed some crime.
When An Qingjie came back from outside, a group of people saw that there was nothing wrong with him and couldn't help but ask curiously: "An Qingjie, what do the police want to see you about?"
"Yeah, yeah, you're not really going to be a gangster, are you?"
An Qingjie faced his classmates' inquiries with frustration. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain. He could sense the strangeness in their eyes: curiosity, confusion, and even a hint of schadenfreude. He had once been a source of pride for his teachers and a role model for his classmates. But now, two failed gaokao exams had seemingly plunged him from the clouds into the mire, becoming the subject of much gossip.
"Nothing, just some personal questions. Don't speculate." An Qingjie feigned composure, but his clenched fists betrayed his inner nervousness. He hurried back to his seat, burying himself in his books to avoid the piercing gazes.
Elsewhere, Yu Fei and his colleagues took An Qingjie to an empty classroom at school. They carefully examined the youth, who appeared fresh-faced yet somewhat exhausted. Yu Fei spoke first, "Don't be nervous, young man. We're here to learn about the sachet you received. Tell us in detail, starting from the moment you received the package."
An Qingjie nodded slightly and recounted the entire story, from his initial request for help from Shanshan during the livestream, to his trepidation and delight upon receiving the sachet, to his panic upon discovering its unusual appearance. Yu Fei listened, his gaze glancing at his colleagues, a solemn expression in his eyes. They knew full well that this seemingly ordinary sachet might harbor an unknown, mysterious power, and if not handled properly, it could lead to even greater trouble.
"Have you noticed anything unusual about your body or surroundings lately? Besides being able to sleep peacefully," Yu Fei pressed. An Qingjie frowned, pondering for a moment before shaking his head. "No, I just still have trouble concentrating on my studies, but it's an old problem..."
Yu Fei nodded slightly and told An Qingjie to stay in crowded places as much as possible these days and not to go out alone, especially at night. He also told An Qingjie to contact them at any time if anything happened. Although An Qingjie was full of doubts, he nodded obediently at Yu Fei's serious expression.
After leaving the school, Yu Fei returned directly to the special operations team's base and reported the information he had gathered. The team immediately convened an emergency meeting, where the experts gathered together to discuss the photos of the sachet and An Qingjie's description.
