Chapter 60: Just Say Me
Chapter 60
Tap tap tap tap, it sounded like something was knocking on the glass.
Song Jixing opened her eyes, glanced at the window, and turned off the noise reduction function of her five senses.
Behind a layer of glass and two layers of gauze curtains, the knocking sounds were very noticeable. Song Jixing had keen hearing. If there was someone crouching outside the window, she would definitely be able to hear that person\'s breathing.
However, there was no breathing, it didn\'t seem human.
It was already autumn, the wind was picking up at night, and the dripping knocks on the glass kept going.
Song Jixing could hear the wind blowing through the tree branches outside, the sound of leaves rustling, she could hear people snoring on the same floor of the hotel, she could even hear the sound of someone eating instant noodles downstairs in the middle of the night.
But outside the window, there was only the constant knocking.
After listening for a while, Song Jixing felt a little sleepy and yawned.
The knocking outside the window stopped for a few seconds, and after a while, finally made other sounds.
"Help!"
The voice was neither male nor female, neither adult nor child, it seemed to be something shouting in a shrill voice.
Song Jixing became more interested, her sleepiness fading away a little.
She was on the fourth floor, the windowsill outside was very narrow, and since she didn\'t hear any breathing or other sounds, Song Jixing had reason to suspect that whatever was outside the window was likely not human.
She even opened the window to let the crow fly in.
The crow flapped its wings and flew into the room, landing at Song Jixing\'s feet, and immediately said, "Big sister, save me! Please save my whole family!"
"I have a ten year old mother, and a child still in the egg, please be kind and save me!"
Song Jixing stood with her arms crossed, listening attentively.
The crow could even mimic human crying, following with whimpers.
Perhaps from being in the filming location for too long, this crow had learned a lot. Its grasp of those lines even exceeded ninety-eight percent of the actors in the filming location, able to move people\'s hearts just by listening.
But the person in front of it didn\'t react at all!
The crow gave up and relaxed its claws, sitting on the ground.
Tired bird!
"I beg you, please help me, I saw you delete the surveillance footage of the filming location! Can you help delete mine too!" the crow said after resting for a while.
Only now did Song Jixing raise her eyebrows and pay more attention to the crow.
She had deleted the surveillance footage using her own spiritual energy, it was impossible for ordinary people to see it. Moreover, there was no spiritual energy here, how could a creature that could see spiritual energy be cultivated?
Even though Song Jixing was curious, she didn\'t intend to reveal her own secrets, after all she had been caught doing bad things.
Song Jixing calculated with her slender jade fingers for a long time before speaking: "You stole my red envelope!"
"You stole the things from the crew."
This was not a question, it was a statement!
The divination showed that she and the crow in front of her were connected by a trace of karma, and it was only recently. Connecting it to the red envelope she had lost that day, everything seemed self-evident.
"Which red envelope are you talking about?" the crow cawed.
It seems more than one was stolen.
Song Jixing could roughly guess why the crow had come to find her.
Since this crow had awakened its intelligence and could even see spiritual energy, it must have been under a nearby tree when her fellow cultivator came that day, and seen everything clearly, perhaps even seeing how she deleted and destroyed the surveillance footage.
Now the crow itself was noticed for its petty thefts by the people in the filming location. Once they checked the surveillance footage, they would know it was the crow, and the crow\'s situation in the filming location would become difficult.
However, Song Jixing was curious about why the crow here could awaken its intelligence.
"When did you learn to speak?" Song Jixing asked.
Since the other party knew she could use spiritual energy, she didn\'t need to hide anything.
Upon hearing this, the crow stood up and flew onto Song Jixing\'s left arm, grabbing her pajamas, "A few months ago I learned to speak! I learned it!"
"How did you learn it?"
"I saw someone smoking and throwing cigarette butts randomly, even throwing them under my tree, so I scolded him a couple times, and then I could speak." The crow was very frank.
"Did you take the things from the crew?" Song Jixing asked again.
"What things? If I took yours, I apologize to you, okay? I\'m just a foolish bird, please don\'t be petty with me." The crow softened its tone.
Wasn\'t this quite sensible?
Song Jixing squatted down and carefully looked over the crow a few times. "Can I examine your body?"
Since the other party knew she could use spiritual energy, she didn\'t need to hide anything.
Upon hearing this, the crow stood up and flew onto Song Jixing\'s left arm, grabbing her pajamas, "You can, do as you wish."
Song Jixing moved her hand to probe the crow with spiritual energy.
She did discover some differences, it seemed like some things she couldn\'t see were attached inside the crow\'s body.
"Do you want to touch my neck? I bathe every day, I\'m washed very clean!"
"A little lower, lower, it feels nice there!"
Did it think she was a masseuse?
Song Jixing directly let go and lightly flicked the crow away.
"So before this, you were an ordinary crow?" Song Jixing asked again.
The crow nodded honestly.
"I swear to heaven, I\'m a good bird!" The shrill voice was exactly like the villain in a TV drama.
Animals gaining intelligence was not uncommon in the Cultivation World, it could even be said to be everywhere.
Some animals even cultivated human forms, becoming the Demon Race, on quite a large scale, attaining the Dao, and successfully ascending.
But wasn\'t this a world without spiritual energy?
Song Jixing looked at the crow thoughtfully, unable to find an answer for the time being.
"Are the crows in your family also like you?" Song Jixing asked.
"I\'m the only smart bird in my family! In the whole filming location I\'m the smartest!"
"What about other animals?"
"There are! I know there\'s a dog, it can also talk, but it pretends to be stupid and doesn\'t talk! It wags its tail and acts pitiful every day! Not like me, self-reliant!"
Song Jixing was doubtful about the term self-reliant.
