Chapter 32:
The cartoon image is much easier than the real-life version. With just a few strokes, you can outline the charm of each person, and then make appropriate exaggeration. The characters with different characteristics are vivid on the paper, and it is difficult for people to forget.
The winter solstice is getting more and more energetic, so I simply drew a few simple four-frame comics, and gave each person a fictitious name, and then edited the pictures and uploaded them to their own social accounts.
His social account was originally used to publish the original art paintings of "The Great Wilderness". Although there was no identity authentication, it was forwarded several times by the official account of "The Great Wilderness". After a few years, many game fans also know that he is a game. The main artist of "The Great Wilderness", he previously posted a message of resignation on it, and the comments below were filled with regrets.
On the winter solstice, I posted the comics. I couldn't think of a good name for a while, so I simply and rudely took the "Relevant Department's Subduing Demons and Eliminating Demons Event Book".
After doing all this, his sleepiness finally came up, he turned off the computer, lay down to rest, and had a good night's sleep.
In the days that followed, his life was very simple, either practicing Thunder Technique on the rooftop of the Special Administration Bureau, or drawing cartoons in the dormitory.
He not only painted and played by himself, but also showed them to He Yu. He Yu liked his style of painting, and expressed his delight in becoming the protagonist of the comics. He also took the initiative to provide some jokes and plots. Yi Yi also showed great interest, only Kan Chaosheng was very dissatisfied that his prototype in the comics was actually a cat, not a more majestic creature, and coerced Li Lu to ask him to change the body of a dragon for the winter solstice, expressing that even if In reality, you can't be a dragon, and it's good to have fun in the comics!
As for Long Shen—Deputy Director Long is in charge of every day, the Winter Solstice never thought of harassing people with such petty things.
The response to the manga series was a bit unexpected.
He was just having fun at first, and the comments below were all clear, hahaha, so cute, but gradually, as the comics were reprinted and spread, more and more people watched, and the number of fans on the winter solstice also increased rapidly. The speed is increasing day by day.
The story he uploaded today was provided by He Yu's friendship.
He Yu said that when he was an intern in the Northwest Branch, he had encountered a case.
A girl often has some strange dreams. At first, she didn't pay attention to it. Later, she found that her dreams were all related to the future, or prophecy dreams. For example, one day she dreamed that there was a fire in the local area, and a few days later, there was a fire in the place where she dreamed. She even dreamed that her classmate had a car accident, and it came true soon after.
After several times, the girl believed that she really had this ability.
Finally, once, she dreamed that her father was pushed down the stairs and died of serious injuries on the spot. When she woke up, she was very frightened and told her father about the dream, but the father did not believe her, thinking that she was making a fuss and the girl had no choice, so she decided to take an inch. Inseparable from following the father.
On this day, my father wanted to meet an important business partner, and the girl strongly requested to go with her, but her father could not beat her, so he had to agree. The girl was very happy and dressed up specially. Her house is a two-story duplex, and the girl's room is on the second floor. She specially changed a new pair of shoes that day, but the new high-heeled shoes did not fit her feet. , his father, who happened to be standing by the stairs, turned his back to her, and was pushed down by her unsuspectingly, and died on the spot with his head on the ground.
The girl never thought that she was going to save her father, but in the end, she ended up hurting him, and she was stunned at the time.
Her mother suffered a heart attack due to over-stimulation, and she went with her in a few days. The girl was destroyed overnight and was greatly stimulated. What's worse, she felt that all this was caused by herself, and she almost fell into depression. The lake committed suicide and was rescued by the master of a nearby temple.
That teacher had some connections with the Northwest Branch. Later, because no one paid attention to this case, it was transferred to He Yu.
It seems like an ordinary tragedy, but He Yu found something suspicious. After some investigation, she found out that her father blocked other people's wealth, indirectly caused the separation of his wife and family. , so he did everything possible to find practitioners with wrong mental skills, and recruited the dream demon into the girl's dream, turning the time dream upside down. What had happened made the girl think that she had the ability to predict, so she could control her spirit in a dream and let her do what she said, thus affecting the real world.
They found the businessman who bought the murderer, and then traced the cultivator behind him, and finally subdued him.
Winter Solstice did not copy the case as it was. With the consent of He Yu, he adapted the case into a serial comic with a cute style and added the daily life of several protagonists. The plot was terrifying and funny. Readers can't stop chasing it, and they urge more drafts under the comments all day long, and many magazines have also contacted the Winter Solstice privately, wanting him to authorize the comics to be serialized in the magazine.
The art master thump thump, before he successfully joined the relevant departments, he first became popular on the Internet.
However, he has no plans to commercialize comics for the time being, and he still serializes them on social networking sites one after another.
Comics are not updated every day, and his focus is still on exam preparation.
Soon, two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the written test came.
Because it is an independent recruitment, the time is different every year, this year it is held in June and July.
This is the hottest time in the capital. It is said that last year, the exam time coincided with the earthquake in Southwest China. Many monsters and ghosts took the opportunity to run out to make trouble. People were panicked for a while. Many sects regarded it as a good opportunity to train their disciples. We also need to take them to remove the demons. As a result, there were no more than five candidates for the final exam, and the number of admissions was zero.
This year has been a good year. Although people and demons have been mentioned, after all, the Special Administration Bureau quickly brought it under control and did not spread to a large extent. People who were unable to take the test last year also signed up to take the test, and the number of people who took the test hit a record high.
The exam location is on the second floor, near the water tower on the winter solstice, go down early and wait outside the exam room.
However, he was not the earliest, and there were many people earlier than him. The examination room was not yet open, and there were already many people gathered outside, some men and women, some in national costumes, and some in Taoist robes. Most of them were young people, and he even found in the crowd the fox boy he met when He Yu passed by the certificate hall that day.
The fox boy's nervousness about the exam has been fully expressed on his face. He doesn't look like a fox, but a frightened rabbit, which is very conspicuous among the candidates.
The winter solstice took the initiative to walk over to say hello, and the other party still remembered him, both surprises and doubts: "Aren't you a staff member?"
Winter Solstice said with a smile: "My friend is, I am not. This year is also the first time to come back to take the test."
Fox boy: "That's great, me too! My name is nonsense, how about you?"
The name is very interesting, the winter solstice is a joy: "My name is the winter solstice, which is the winter solstice of the twenty-four solar terms."
Nonsense is a chatterbox, and now when I meet someone I can talk to, I immediately open the chat box: "Oh, I just read the book for a few days, and the elders in the family asked me to take the test, saying that it was a chance, and I won't be able to pass the test next year. Can come again!"
Winter Solstice nodded: "I think so too, don't be too nervous, just accumulate experience."
Hu Shuai cried and said, "But the questions in it are so difficult that I can't even recognize the words."
Winter Solstice comforted him: "I heard that the scores in the written test are generally not high."
Hu Shua's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Really?" Almost at the same time, someone next to him asked.
At the winter solstice, he turned his head and found a man in national costume, who smiled at him.
"Hello, my name is Basang, Tibetan. You said just now that the written test is easy, is that true?"
Winter Solstice said: "The questions are the same as the national exam, but the scores of candidates are generally lower than the national exam. I heard that in previous years, the admission standards would occasionally be lowered due to the lack of admissions, but this year, there are so many people, it should be more difficult, right?"
Basang scratched his hair: "Hey, I'm also most afraid of exams!"
He said to the side again: "Beauty, how are you preparing?"
beauty? Where?
Looking at the reputation of the winter solstice, I saw a girl with beautiful features, but it is really impossible to say that she is a beauty.
He thought that Ba Sang was molesting others, but Ba Sang said, "I'll introduce you to her. Her name is Gu Meiren, she is from the Dai people, and she is very good at playing the flute."
Gu Meiren nodded to them: "Hello."
Not only the name is eye-catching, but the voice is also very nice, but the person is a bit cold.
After getting to know each other for a while, they returned to the topic of the exam.
The emotion of nonsense has been almost appeased. Seeing more and more candidates, a heart is raised again.
"Who of you know the process of the interview? My cousin took the test before, and he said that there are also questions to be asked in the interview?"
Basang knew a little about the interview, so he nodded when he heard the words: "Ask, it's different from the written test, the interview questions are more practical, it will test your ability to respond on the spot, and you will also need to demonstrate your best ability."
Nonsense said nervously: "But I can only transform now, will I fail?"
Winter Solstice was surprised: "Seventy-two changes?"
Nonsense and bitter haha: "It would be great if I had to be that powerful. I only know two kinds of things, and sometimes I'm not good at all! What about you, what do you know?"
Ba Sang and Gu Meiren are very cheerful and have no intention of concealing. One said that he was good at eagle language, communicated with eagles, and could understand other animals more or less, while Gu Meiren said that she could play the flute to control snakes.
The winter solstice was astounding, and I deeply felt that the crouching tiger, hiding the dragon in the spiritual world, even two compatriots from ethnic minorities were so powerful, not to mention the others. In contrast, my own cramming technique was a little out of control. .
"I only know a little rune that is just getting started."
Basang was surprised: "You are a member of the Taoist sect? Then why don't you join them?"
Looking in the direction of his nuzui on the winter solstice, there were a lot of people gathered around at the other end, some wearing Taoist robes or training clothes, and most of them were in regular clothes.
Basang said: "Some of them were born in Longhu Mountain, and some were born in Maoshan. I heard that they are all famous schools."
The winter solstice nodded: "like thunder."
He looked around and saw that there were groups of twos and threes outside the examination room, and everyone had their own circle of friends. The candidates from Longhushan naturally wanted to be closer to the candidates of the same background. Maybe they came to take the exam together.
During the conversation, the bell rang and the examination room opened, which meant that candidates could start preparing for admission.
Everyone stopped chatting and voluntarily lined up to pass the inspection at the door.
Two young people stood at the door, one checked everyone's admission ticket, and the other held a detector to scan the candidates up and down.
In addition, there was a middle-aged man standing at the door of the classroom with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at every candidate who entered.
"Don't bring irrelevant items into the venue, obey the order of the examination room, and turn off all communication tools such as mobile phones and turn them over to the podium... You, stop!"
The winter solstice was just in time to get back the admission ticket and prepare to enter the venue. Hearing this, he was startled. When he saw the eyes of the middle-aged man falling behind him, he realized that the other party was not talking to him.
The middle-aged man said coldly to the examinee behind him: "What are you carrying, hand it over."
The examinee stammered: "No, no!"
Middle-aged man: "You give him a go."
The staff nodded, and just as they approached each other with the detector in hand, the detector beeped.
Middle-aged man: "Will you wait to be searched if you don't take it out yourself?"
The examinee was very unconvinced, and took out a talisman that was folded into a triangle from his body: "This is the safety talisman that my mother gave me, did you even take this one!"
The middle-aged man grabbed the rune, opened it without saying a word, and quickly took out a hidden talisman from it.
He shook it in his hand, and five white rays of light were shaken out of his hand, and fell to the ground and turned into five little white people in the shape of children. They screamed twice, and then turned into smoke and disappeared.
Winter Solstice looked stunned.
The middle-aged man sneered at the examinee: "Does your mother still ask you to use the Five Ghost Removal Technique to keep you safe?"
The candidates seemed to be crying on the spot as if they were mourning their wives.
The middle-aged man looked around the crowd and raised his voice: "Last time, the person who tried to cheat by using the five ghost handling method in the exam has been disqualified from the exam for 30 years. I advise you to die as soon as possible! The bureau just imported this hand-held detector from the United States. This instrument is specially used to deal with vampires and black magic. It is a waste to use it on you. Even What kind of Qiankun bag double-sided mirror can be found out for you, if you don't believe it, just try it!"
Winter Solstice made the corners of his mouth twitch.
"Even if the instrument fails, my eyes are not white!" The middle-aged man sneered again: "Now you still have the opportunity to throw away the cheating tools, don't wait until you are found in the exam room, it's still a light thing to disqualify from the exam, Be careful that even your future children won't be able to enter the Special Enforcement Bureau. Give you 30 minutes, and I will lose everything that should be lost!"
The audience was silent, and a few people in the long queue left silently, presumably to throw things away.
The middle-aged man's face was cold and he didn't speak again, but the candidates who passed by him became more and more cautious.
Even the winter solstice will inevitably have an OCD attack, so I re-checked what I brought on my body before I found a seat and sat down.
There were so many people taking the exam this year that one exam room could not be seated, so it was divided into three rooms, but the classroom where the Winter Solstice was located was full of fifty or sixty seats, showing the fierce competition.
After the attack of the middle-aged man just now, the candidates were extraordinarily honest, and those who liked to talk also shut up, and they all sat obediently in their seats and waited for the paper to answer the questions.
The rolls came out quickly.
All the tension was released the moment I got the papers. When I saw the dense topics on the winter solstice, I didn't have time to worry about it. I just picked up the pen and started working on it.
Time passed, and he carefully checked three times before handing in the paper. It was ten minutes before the end of the exam. No one handed in the paper in advance. He grew more and more confident.
In the morning, there will be a test, and there will be an application in the afternoon. During the winter solstice, I hurried back to the dormitory for dinner and rest, and arrived outside the examination room early in the afternoon.
There were a lot of people gathered there as usual. The Winter Solstice was looking for Nonsense and Basang in the crowd, and it was no surprise to hear everyone's answers to the morning, some excited and some annoyed.
It seems that no matter whether they are ordinary people or practitioners, the candidates all over the world are the same.
"The question in the morning is so difficult! I can't even read it, let alone choose the right one. I can only randomly choose a pass. According to my cousin, I can choose C if I can't, and the correct rate can be higher."
This is blindfolded.
"I looked at the question bank for this question last night, but I didn't pay attention to the answer. Who knew it would be the test!"
This is a makeshift crawl.
"Hey, why is the investigation so strict this year? Obviously there were no detectors last year. The worst thing was that I forgot to bring the heart-clearing mantra before I left. It was written by my master specially for me, and it made me upset all morning. If you can't answer the questions, you won't be able to pass this time!"
This is blasphemous.
"What kind of harm the magnetic resonance imaging system may cause to the human body, what kind of **** is this? How do I know! Why don't you take a test of the harm that a century-old zombie will cause to human beings?? There is no leader to take care of this kind of problem, right? Is it to deliberately let us fall off the list?!"
There is also this suspicious shady type.
The winter solstice was dumbfounded, walking through the crowd, and finally found Basang and the others.
Not surprisingly, these people are also answering.
The winter solstice had to say: "Don't be right, it's okay to be right, if you find it wrong, you won't be in the mood to take the exam later, won't it affect your performance again?"
Nonsense, the whole fox wilted: "I'm afraid I won't be able to answer a question in the afternoon."
Dongzhi, Basang and others quickly consoled him, and even Gu Meiren said that she did not perform well in the morning. If the general standard is not good, the admission standard will definitely be lowered, which makes Hu Shua a little more happy.
Shen Lun is all subjective questions, and subjective questions will have the preference of the examiner. For the same answer, some people may give one more point, and some people may give one less point. The winter solstice cannot control the examiner's preferences. Answer the main points honestly. As long as the basic points are met, the score will not deviate anywhere.
In the afternoon, he didn't hand in the papers in advance, but he thought he performed well. When he stepped out of the examination room, a figure flew past him, crying all the way.
When the winter solstice reacted and found that the man was talking nonsense, the other party had already run away.
Seeing that Chaosheng was waiting for him outside, his eyes stared straight at the nonsense, and he reluctantly retracted his gaze from the time he appeared until he disappeared completely from sight.
Then he heard Kan Chaosheng smashing his mouth and saying, "The original form must be very fat, tender and delicious."
winter solstice:……
He quickly changed the subject: "Do you know when the scores will come out?"
Kan Chaosheng said: "In a week, you can prepare for the interview first."
The winter solstice went out with him, but was stopped by someone.
"This fellow Daoist, your pen has fallen."
Looking back at the winter solstice, a tall and thin young man stood behind him.
As soon as he saw that it was his own pen, he quickly thanked him and took it, and the other party suddenly said, "Are you the Winter Solstice?"
The other person asked "are you the winter solstice", not "what's your name".
The winter solstice is sometimes bigger and bigger, and sometimes surprisingly sharp, and he immediately noticed the difference.
"You know me?" He smiled at each other.
The other party raised his eyebrows, looked him up and down, and suddenly laughed: "It's just that."
The sudden hostility made the winter solstice a bit baffling.
The other party said, "My name is Liu Qingbo."
After speaking, he walked away without waiting for the winter solstice to answer.
winter solstice:? ? ?
He turned his head and asked Chao Sheng, "Who is this person?"
Looking at Chaosheng, he said: "Liu Qingbo, his mother is a descendant of seedlings and can use Gu. His father is the descendant of a swordsman master in the Republic of China. He first went to Taiwan, and then went overseas. He had some foundations on both sides. Before He has made some contributions to people-to-people exchanges, so the impression of him is better, and if there is no accident, he will come in for sure."
Winter Solstice asked casually, "Even if he fails the written test?"
Seeing Chaosheng showing him a "stupid human" expression, Dongzhi immediately understood.
It seems that the back door cannot be avoided anywhere.
Winter Solstice is inexplicable: "Then why did he seem so hostile to me just now?"
Looking at the tide, he said coolly: "He must have known from nowhere that you wanted to be the boss as a teacher, and regarded you as a competitor!"
The winter solstice sighed: "He also wants to be the boss as his teacher?"
Kan Chaosheng: "The boss was already injured when he dealt with the bone dragon in Changbai Mountain. Do you know this?"
Winter Solstice nodded: "I heard what He Yu said."
Kan Chaosheng said: "That injury happened once the year before. This Liu Qingbo was young and energetic. I don't know where he heard that there are dragons in the Yangtze River, but he led out a golden-bearded squid. He was older than me, and could almost turn into a dragon. He messed up the opportunity and was so angry. At that time, the boss happened to be passing by there to do errands. He noticed the change in the water pulse, and rushed over to retrieve Liu Qingbo's life in time, and also took the oyu. , I was injured a little during the fight, so I left the old troubles. I was about to get better, but who knows that I will encounter the bone dragon again, and then I spent my mind using his mind to save you."
The winter solstice never imagined that there was such a long story in it, and when I heard it at the end, I couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Then how is his body now?" Thinking of Long Shen's normal performance, Dongzhi felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by tons of guilt.
Kan Chaosheng shrugged: "It's not a big problem, it just has to be taken care of again. I hope nothing major happens during this time, otherwise he will come out if he doesn't want to."
Winter Solstice: "What about the squid? Dead?"
Seeing Chaosheng hummed.
The Winter Solstice couldn't help but said, "But it was Liu Qingbo who went to provoke it first, and it also ruined his practice!"
Kan Chaosheng: "There's no other way. Later, the squid refused to give up. He had to make waves and divert water to the world, and then he was willing to dispel the hatred in his heart. If he really wants to let it succeed, it will inevitably be another flood, and the boss can only come out of this. next step."
In the end, it was Liu Qingbo's fault, but it was Long Shen who finally cleaned up the mess.
The winter solstice pouted, completely disliking this person.
But personal feelings belong to personal feelings, and the winter solstice is also very clear. Even if he accepts apprentices like Long Shen, he will never accept a bunch of them at a time like a wholesaler. Liu Qingbo recovered a small life, and he must be deeply grateful to Long and highly respected, and his background is there again.
Under the same strength, even if it is Long Shen in the winter solstice, it will be more inclined to accept Liu Qingbo, rather than his own apprentice who has just stepped into the ranks of practitioners and has a weak foundation, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately felt a strong sense of crisis rushing towards him.
If you don't work hard and work harder, won't your desire to be a disciple of a male **** go to waste?
Seeing the winter solstice while walking, Kan Chaosheng was in a daze, stretched out his hand and poked him, and said impatiently: "How did you learn to behave like Zhong Yu, let's go!"
Winter Solstice: "Where to go?"
Kan Chaosheng: "He Yu said to celebrate your completion of the exam, let's have a big meal and then sing."
Winter Solstice: "But I still have an interview."
Kan Chaosheng: "Then you can have another meal after the interview!"
After all, you just want to eat, right? The winter solstice has to follow.
In fact, during this period of intense review, he really needs to relax.
In order to celebrate the successful completion of the written test for him, He Yu took the group to the hot pot restaurant. Zhong Yuyi was there. When they passed by the winter solstice, the two had already ordered a lot of side dishes and a mandarin duck pot. .
Winter Solstice is now familiar with Zhong Yuyi. Although the latter doesn't talk much and usually likes to wander, but after getting along with each other carefully, you will find that he is actually quite a good person. What's more, with the comparison of Liu Qingbo today, who is also an admirer of Long Shen, Zhong Yuyi is obviously hundreds of times more adorable than Liu Qingbo.
"How was the test, Xiao Dongdong, do you want me to walk you through the back door of the boss?" He Yu said with a smile.
"The paper is not for the boss to change. If you go, you will only be beaten by the boss." Kan Chaosheng rudely demolished the stage.
"The boss doesn't beat people, he only deducts his salary and vacation." Zhong Yuyi was a little more normal today. He didn't look sleepwalking.
Watching Chaosheng laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
He Yu gave them a roll of eyes and took the shoulders of the winter solstice: "Don't listen to them! It's just a written test, I have confidence in you! In order to celebrate your smooth passing, let's sing K after dinner, Zhong Yuyi said please! "
Zhong Yu swallowed the meat and said slowly, "Why me?"
He Yu said confidently, "Because you haven't been deducted from your salary recently, I'll help you find a way to spend money!"
Winter Solstice laughed: "Is it a tradition to deduct wages for wrongdoing?"
Then if he goes in in the future, will the salary be negative every month?
Kan Chaosheng laughed and laughed: "Only He Yu is like this idiot, and we are not like him, making mistakes all the time!"
He Yu was not convinced: "I made mistakes because I did a lot, which shows that the boss values me!"
Zhong Yu said: "It's because the boss knows that you play games all day long and don't do your job properly. Deducting money and wages is the most direct and effective way."
The winter solstice watched them bicker happily, the tension after the exam had completely relaxed, and the whole person was lazy.
"I'll pay the bill tonight, thanks to you all for this time, otherwise my Leifa wouldn't be able to improve so fast, just order whatever you want!" He waved his hand, very tyrant.
He Yu: "Boss, please hug your thighs!"
Looking at Chaosheng, he turned his head directly: "The waiter comes in and adds ten parts of sweet potato flour, ten parts of Australian beef, ten parts of shrimp slip..."
Winter Solstice: "Hey!"
