Chapter 861 I Don’t Want to See Such a Thing Again
This result wasn’t out of Chi Jiao’s expectations. She sighed faintly, unable to hide the helplessness in her eyes.
Actually, she still bore the faint hope that Zhou Qiuhao would be alive.
Unfortunately, fate liked to play tricks on people.
“Jiaojiao, do you know Zhou Qiuhao?” Pei Yao asked with concern.
Chi Jiao shook her head. “No. Sister Yaoyao, do you know how Zhou Qiuhao died?”
“His family didn’t say anything in detail. They only said that he died by accident. 117 only needs to determine if the person is an Esper. We can’t ask about more private matters, so we don’t know the exact details. However, the Zhou family doesn’t seem to have any plans to hold a funeral. Their family is very rich, but Zhou Qiuhao doesn’t seem to be very valued at home.” Pei Yao continued, “Jiaojiao, are you in trouble? Do you need help?”
“It’s alright. I can settle it myself. Sister Yaoyao, help me investigate more about Zhou Qiuhao and his family. I’ll call you if I need anything. If you find anything, remember to contact me anytime,” Chi Jiao reminded her.
“No problem.” Pei Yao agreed before hanging up.
Chi Jiao looked at her phone and sighed.
“You want to find the remnants of Zhou Qiuhao’s consciousness so that Su Lan can see him one last time?” Shen Xing’s childish voice caught her off guard.
Chi Jiao was startled. She turned around and saw Shen Xing’s image appearing in the bathroom mirror.
Chi Jiao reached out to touch the mirror, but she couldn’t touch Shen Xing. “You scared me to death! Didn’t I ask you to accompany Su Lan? Why are you so unpredictable?”
“He’s already an adult. Why do I need to accompany him?” Shen Xing pouted. “Don’t change the topic. I’m asking you, do you plan to find the remnants of Zhou Qiuhao’s consciousness?”
The mental power of Espers surpassed that of ordinary people. Therefore, after an Esper died, a portion of their mental energy would remain. If an Esper had someone or something that they were worried about or infatuated with before they died, they would appear at their favorite place.
However, ordinary people couldn’t capture this residual mental energy. Only an Esper like Chi Jiao, who had mental abilities, could do it.
Of course, it wouldn’t be easy to capture the residual consciousness. Chi Jiao would definitely expend a lot of energy and might even suffer injury. That was why Shen Xing disapproved of her interfering in this matter.
“What’s wrong with that? I have nothing to do, anyway.” Chi Jiao shrugged casually.
“I realize that you’re too strange. I see that you don’t usually like to poke your nose into other people’s business. When people die in front of you, you might not even look up if they don’t matter to you. Why are you so stubborn about this?” Shen Xing asked gloomily.
Chi Jiao was silent for a moment before saying faintly, “I just don’t want Su Lan to die. He would commit suicide for Zhou Qiuhao. I don’t want to see such things
again.”
“Have you seen such a ridiculous scene before?” Shen Xing asked in surprise.
“What do you know, little brat? This isn’t ridiculous. It’s love. Not just anyone can choose to die for someone without hesitation.” Chi Jiao clenched her fists silently. Quan Jue’s face appeared in her mind.
Shen Xing could see the fluctuations in Chi Jiao’s emotions. In the end, it pouted angrily like an angry little pufferfish. “Forget it. You can do whatever you want. I can’t be bothered with you!”
