Chapter 4 Abnormal Situation
After leaving, Gu Ming took the last bus back to his residence in the old city. In his memory, this house was left by his grandfather. Gu Ming had lived here since he was born, but now he is the only one left in the family.
His grandfather died when he was twelve years old, and his father and mother disappeared at the same time a year ago.
After washing, Gu Ming closed the window to block the biting cold wind, even though he was not afraid of the cold, and then lay on the cold bed to sleep alone.
Although he failed to awaken again, Gu Ming was not discouraged. He had experienced the same situation many times in a year and was already used to it.
While Gu Ming was sleeping peacefully, Zhang Hanzhong summoned five of his subordinates to return to the branch building overnight for an overtime meeting.
These five people were the group of five people who rushed to Sandongqiao Grove after Gu Ming left.
Captain Xiao Hu gave a detailed report on the on-site investigation. You can tell from the expression on his face how shocked he was at that time.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Hu looked at his immediate superior, Zhang Hanzhong, and asked with some excitement: "Director, I didn't expect that the master you know is actually from the Divine Sea realm. When can you introduce him to the brothers?"
Out of admiration for the strong, the other four people also looked at Zhang Hanzhong expectantly.
But Zhang Hanzhong slapped the table and cursed: "Idiot, an expert has his own demeanor. How can I see you little fish and shrimps when I have free time to think about something but not how to practice hard?"
After scolding his subordinates, Zhang Hanzhong finally vented his pent-up depression. He thought to himself that even I am not qualified to meet that expert. How virtuous and capable are you?
Then, he followed Wei Dafa's instructions to his subordinates and said: "I would like to emphasize again that the master's affairs are confidential and you must not tell them."
After finishing speaking, he added in his mind: If we piss him off, who will kill the monsters for us in the future?
The five subordinates nodded in unison. None of them wanted this expert to leave Linjiang County and just lie down and take off while he was around.
"Xiao Hu, please collect the money from this contribution and give it to me tomorrow morning."
Xiao Hu smiled bitterly and said: "Director, I have always had a doubt. Since you are an expert, why do you care about worldly money?"
"Experts also have to pay for their meals." Zhang Hanzhong said meaningfully, "The old rule is to find the invoice yourself and take it to Tianji Department for reimbursement at the end of the year."
The Tianji Department is the financial department of Beidou. In addition to money, it is also responsible for collecting and providing all resources needed for cultivation besides visualization charts.
"Now that we've finished chatting, let's get down to business. Han Na, have the results been calculated?"
The only girl in the five-person group said: "The statistics are done."
After saying that, he took out his laptop from his backpack, projected the screen onto the screen, and said while operating the slide: "Director, look, this is the data for the first half of this year. Before July, there were monster incidents in our county every month. The average number of mysterious incidents is three, and the highest number is only five, but starting from July, the number starts to climb.”
Han Na switched a slide and then reported: "From July to October, the number was still within 20, but in November it reached 21, and before December was over, it had already reached 20. Five.”
"Furthermore, all the monsters that appeared before today were only low-level monsters. We, the awakened ones in the Qi training realm, could handle it if we were careful. But today, there are intermediate monsters, and they are about to break through to the advanced monsters. This is no longer the case at all. We in Linjiang County can destroy it, but if that expert didn’t help, the consequences would have been very serious.”
After saying that, the conference room fell into silence, and the faces of several people were solemn. In a short period of time, the number of monsters appearing increased sharply, which was not a good sign.
Zhang Hanzhong said thoughtfully: "Could these monsters be attracted by that expert?"
Xiao Hu immediately retorted: "How is it possible that Yaogui is not a fool, and he brought him to his own death?"
Zhang Hanzhong was a little embarrassed. He cursed at Xiao Hu: "Idiot, of course I know. I just wanted to test your logical ability."
Xiao Hu did not dare to speak out and could only complain in his heart: "I am not belittling you, but everyone here is not an idiot except you."
Zhang Hanzhong also quickly changed the topic and said to Han Na: "What do you think?"
Han Na adjusted her glasses and said, "I have a bold guess. There may be something in Linjiang County that is attracting demons and ghosts to gather. Another possibility is that there are powerful demons and ghosts nearby that we can't imagine. These are all from it. "Little brother."
Zhang Hanzhong said seriously: "It may also be a combination of the two. Something in Linjiang County has provoked a powerful monster, but we have not received any news."
At 8:30 the next morning, as soon as Gu Ming walked into the office, Wei Dafa squeezed in through the door frame.
"Director, I'm sorry, I couldn't wake up last night." Gu Ming looked at Wei Dafa, who looked haggard, and felt a little guilty. If it weren't for finding monsters for him to practice with, Wei Dafa wouldn't have to deal with the vulgar people from the lighting department all the time. Wufu, his body is weak.
"It's okay, keep working hard and don't be discouraged. You will wake up one day. As the saying goes, as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle." Wei Dafa blurted out to comfort him, his proficiency was like knowing the result in advance and preparing the draft early. Same.
"Director, you said that awakening the day after tomorrow requires the pressure between life and death to stimulate, but I have never encountered a life-and-death crisis so far. Are the monsters in Linjiang County too weak?"
"It's not that the demons are not strong, but that you are too strong." Wei Dafa thought to himself and said, "Silly boy, your spiritual power is growing too fast. One force can defeat ten skills. Ordinary primary demons are naturally not your opponents, but remember not to be careless. Intermediate demons can only be defeated by magic..."
"The swallows live in Yanzipo..." A high-pitched ring interrupted Wei Dafa. He looked at the caller ID and went outside to answer the phone, leaving Gu Ming alone in the office thinking.
"The director's words are like a morning bell. Pride leads to failure. I almost went astray." Gu Ming thought to himself, "The road to awakening still needs to be taken step by step, and every step should be taken steadily."
Five minutes later, Wei Dafa returned to the office.
"Xiao Gu, you will go to the station to pick someone up later. I will send the itinerary information to your mobile phone."
"Director, there will be no one to look after the office when I leave."
"Long legs, and she is carrying a very rare second-grade Lei Fa visualization picture. If it is time for lunch, take her out for a quick meal. I will reimburse you after the invoice is issued."
"Then please help me look after the office. By the way, who is she?" Gu Ming agreed immediately. As for the reason, of course, it was the second-grade Lei Fa visualization picture, not the long legs.
"Her name is Jiang Siyi. She was specially recruited this year. During the internship period, she had to go to the grassroots for training, so she was assigned to us."
"Specially recruited..."
Gu Ming was stunned. Those who can enter Beidou through special recruitment are either relatives or truly talented awakeners. Those who can carry a second-grade Lei Fa visualization picture with them are obviously not just relatives.
