Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 359 Who is possessed by something strange?
Hearing the count's astonishing words, Ji Ming's first thought was - you were all full while I was going to the toilet?

But these words must not be said out loud, so after recalling the plate of short ribs that had not yet been finished, Ji Ming could only choose to nod after feeling that he might not be able to attend a complete banquet in his life.

"Since Mr. Earl is indeed in an emergency, I will follow you for a while. However, I am not very knowledgeable, so I may not be able to help you."

"Yes! This is definitely possible!"

It's a pity that the count didn't care about the second half of what he said. He was overjoyed after hearing only half of it and quickly took him to the office on the third floor of the villa.

As soon as Ji Ming followed him into this space, he noticed a strange feeling. After careful observation, he finally discovered the problem.

According to the general design concept, since this is a residential building rather than an office area, and this space called an office is actually a study, the design language should not be too serious.

Moreover, with the reputation of Count Kazekage as a "good husband and good father", it is normal for him to have a child at home who is still young and needs someone to take care of him, so it is normal for him to put some food and play in the office.

Last but not least, he is an aristocrat, and he cannot afford to put a family photo frame in the glass case of the bookcase behind his desk. But now there are only brand new thick books, which are pure and pure. background board.

Therefore, this office no longer has the heavy feeling that the old leader likes. It should be said that it looks like a hotel room, decent and neat as if it has never been used.

...Is it possible that the Count, like everyone else, likes to leave his work during working hours, and that after returning to the villa, he will never or want to deal with any official business?
If there are doubts everywhere, then there are no doubts everywhere. Although the groom has a lot of information, it is limited to that praying mantis, so what is the situation of this leaf?
With insufficient information and inability to reason, Ji Ming could only choose to sit down.

Fortunately, what is used is what is used less. As a part of the villa, the maids will obviously clean the place, so that the two of them will not be covered in dust just by touching it.

And they quickly brought over two cups of hot coffee, using the strong fragrance to disperse the coldness and lack of popularity in the room.

Instructing the maid to close the door before leaving, the earl picked up the coffee and blew in the rising heat. After taking a sip, he let out a very deliberate sigh.

Ji Ming understood his hint, but did not rush to express it. Instead, he also picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Hey, there is no need for this between us, Mr. Count. If you have anything you want to ask, please tell me."

The earl nodded, and sighed again in great sorrow.

"You have just noticed, my wife and children look a little strange."

No, I think you're weird.

"Well, they do seem a little... uncomfortable, but I think this is understandable. Your wife may not be used to such an environment, and as for the child, I didn't want to at all when he was his age. Come for this occasion.”

But this kind of high-EQ speech did not win the earl's approval, but caused him to interrupt immediately.

"No, no, no, you still don't understand. I...I know this may be a little strange, but...don't be afraid if I say it!"

……

Ji Ming almost laughed out loud and quickly suppressed his voice.

"Don't worry! I am the Chosen One of the Holy Light, and I am protected by the gods. I won't be afraid."

"Okay, I'll just say it!"

The earl's breathing became heavier, he covered his head and looked pale.

"I think... they are possessed by something strange!"

Probably he also knew that this sentence alone was difficult to convince, so he went on to say it without waiting for Ji Ming to react.

"When I decided to marry Helena, everyone thought I was crazy! They even thought I was cursed, that she was a heinous witch, and that she bewitched me! I know it wasn't the case, I'm very sane!"

"But in recent times, I feel that she...including my children, are becoming more and more unfamiliar. Although their attitude towards me has not changed, the things they do every day have not changed, and their preferences have not changed, but I I always feel that they are not what I remember them to be, they...do you understand?"

Ji Ming wanted to say, "What the hell are you talking about?" but he still grasped the key points and asked while nodding.

"Then, if you are the only one who is suspicious of the two of them, is it possible that you are possessed by something strange?"

The count couldn't handle this soul question. He stared and was controlled for three seconds before he regained his ability to speak.

"This is impossible! But... I... I feel that everyone else is quite normal! Only the two of them are not right! You must know that I am also a professional! I am a mage! I am very sensitive to this aspect !”

The count, who was busy proving himself, spoke faster and faster, his eyes were red, his beard was trembling, and the last sentence even seemed a bit hysterical.

"Okay, okay, calm down. I'm just putting forward some bold hypotheses as a weird research expert. If you believe it, you have it. If you don't, you don't have it. Don't be anxious. Don't be impatient, okay?"

After briefly comforting him, Ji Ming continued to ask.

"Since you think they are possessed by something strange, I'll just check it out for you later. This problem can be solved very easily and quickly using the Holy Light. It depends on when you have time over there. As a doctor, I'll be there anytime. It will be all right."

It was clear that the matter had been settled, but after hearing this, the earl immediately showed resistance on his face and said quickly.

"Use holy light? No, they are not professionals. If they are illuminated by the holy light along with the weirdness in their bodies, there will definitely be problems. What if the weirdness will leave with their lives?"

Seeing Count Feng Ying's attitude becoming more and more agitated, he almost threw away aristocratic etiquette and patted the table while talking.

In order to avoid further aggravating his emotions, Ji Ming could only choose to obey again.

"Then let's change the method. I have a very special magic scroll. Its name is a talisman. Just stick it on your wife and children and see how the talisman reacts. You can detect whether they are possessed by something strange. Got pregnant."

But even after external and semi-physical treatment, Earl Fengying was still shaking his head, and his opposition became more intense.

"I've never heard of this kind of magic scroll!"

However, after blurting out this sentence, he regretted it and quickly softened his voice to compensate.

"Sorry, as I just said, I am also a mage, so although I believe you, I can't believe things that I don't know at all, and I still have to use them on my most important family members."

"...So do you have any other ways to inquire?"

"..."

If someone usually said such nonsense in front of Ji Ming, he would raise his hand and slap him twice - and let you go crazy?

But when the remuneration is sufficient, Ji Ming is actually a very dedicated person.

Now that the consultation has begun for him, he will have close to infinite patience.

In addition to holy light and talismans, he does have a third way to detect weirdness, but he has already used this method just now.

That's right, it's the rejuvenating liquid. As a potion that can quickly heal by releasing a large amount of life force, it is almost equal to poison for most weirdos.

This is also the fundamental reason why Ji Ming did not take out the Spirit Gathering Liquid directly, but used the Fourth Generation of Rejuvenation.

——The spirit-condensing liquid was so "toxic" that he was afraid that the Earl's household register would be randomly reduced by one or two pages on the spot, and no one would say anything if he wanted to ask the truth.

But after eating those two meals, it was not his wife and children who looked sad, but Count Wind Shadow himself.

First of all, a gentleman's opinions are based on his deeds but not his heart. The battle line is more credible than the battle report.

Considering that the count had given up a lot of his own family's future in order to marry the girl named Helena, Ji Ming felt that at least the person's "good husband" persona would not be fake.

So, combined with his current seeming concern, it is actually a shameless act of pouring sewage on his wife and children, and he is afraid that the doctor will go to them to do tests, causing him to lose his right to speak.

There is only one possibility for the truth of the matter, and that is...

"Okay, since you think it's inappropriate for me to test your wife and children directly, I guess you have thought of a more appropriate way. Can you tell me?"

As Ji Ming expected, the earl's expression suddenly softened a lot.

"Oh, thank you for understanding, thank you, thank you very much!"

"Actually, the reason why I suspected them was that, in addition to these things being wrong, I also accidentally received a quiet report from a maid. She said that she saw Madam going to a place in the city alone, but that day she clearly said that she I want to take piano lessons with my child.”

"Afterwards, I asked little Anson, oh, my child, where was his mother when he had piano lessons yesterday afternoon? Of course! I asked indirectly! It was impossible to ask directly! But he gave me The answer is that my mother has always been in piano lessons and never left!”

Having said this, the incoherent Earl returned to his previous neurotic anxiety.

If there wasn't a shred of reason left, Ji Ming would have started chewing his fingers.

"Uh...ah! I understand. Do you want me to go there with you to investigate?"

When the earl heard this, he clapped his hands excitedly and then gave a thumbs up.

"correct!"

Then some more chattering.

"I didn't dare to alert the snake. I was afraid that something would go wrong if I acted rashly. Now that you are finally here, God's Chosen, I especially believe in you. I heard that you saved Sunshine City, so I can definitely do it. Please help me, please, this matter must be resolved. I really can’t hold it anymore..."

"stop!"

Ji Ming saw that he was about to start rapping, so he quickly shouted to stop, stood up, and stretched his right hand towards the door.

"open circuit!"

Since it was a secret trip, the earl didn't even bring half of the servants with him, not to mention the carriage this time. He took two horses from the stable and set off with Ji Ming.

But it didn't matter, he nodded to the groom, and Ji Ming, who had also put on a disguise, got on his horse with the count and ran towards the darkness outside the castle.

But the physical strength of horses is also limited, and it would be too ostentatious to gallop on the streets at night.

Therefore, the speed of the two horses is not very fast, and at least they can still have a brief conversation.

Therefore, after seeing that this young man from a foreign land could ride a horse more smoothly and skillfully than himself, a veteran nobleman who had been training since he was eight years old, he might still be worried that his radical behavior just now would affect his next actions. The Earl chose Let’s use a compliment to resolve it a bit.

"Lord Chosen God, are you so good at equestrian skills?"

If he had to find a class for Ji Ming, he would have to be a spearman even if he wasn't a magician, and he definitely couldn't be a knight anyway.

After all, although he really wanted to drive a mecha, apart from Christine's horseback, the only means of transportation Ji Ming had ever ridden in this world was a carriage driven by someone else, and this didn't require any skills other than money.

So why can Ji Ming, who has never ridden a horse, ride a horse so skillfully?
——Of course it’s because of hypnosis, otherwise what else could it be?
So his answer was simple.

"haha, yes."

Wind Shadow City is not that big, so they arrived at their destination after traveling in the evening breeze for more than ten minutes.

"It's close here. The road here is relatively narrow. Let's walk slowly!"

After hearing the earl's words, Ji Ming also looked around.

Although for the safety of the castle, the buildings in the nearby neighborhoods all have strict height limits, the buildings there are much more luxurious than the old and shabby ones here.

It was obvious that this was the downtown area that he was very familiar with. He could even feel the gazes coming from the dark alleys.

Seeing that the count was still going forward, Ji Ming also called out to him.

"Do you have anyone around here? We'd better dismount and walk, just to be safe."

"what?"

The Earl, who had already taken several steps, turned back in confusion and was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing.

"Ah, yes, you are right! I remember I have a guard who lives nearby, we can go there!"

After entrusting the mount to this middle-aged man who was flattered by the count's two gold coins, Ji Ming discovered a new doubt.

According to the earl, he learned about the lady's arrival from the maid, and did not even mention it to anyone in order to avoid alerting the enemy.

So why was he able to lead the way without any hesitation without any on-the-spot investigation?

Ji Ming followed him silently, gradually getting closer to the truth of the matter, and finally stopped in front of a door.

The earl turned around, his expression a little blurry for some reason.

"The Chosen One is right here!"

Ji Ming raised his head and looked at the building in front of him, which was a little too dark even at night, and suddenly grinned.

Good guy, look whose den is this?
