Chapter 76 The finishing touch
After hearing what Hati said, the bald director thought that she had agreed to this matter, so he spoke excitedly.
"Thank you, thank you all for your willingness to help. On behalf of all the members of the Yulang City Special Management Bureau, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all. I will treat you tonight, and we..."
"Wait a moment."
But before he could finish his words, Hati raised his hand to interrupt him.
Xia Yue, whose eyes had originally lit up when she heard someone was treating her to a meal, now looked at Hati with great dissatisfaction.
"I am only a guest official, and I am only responsible for the captain of the escort mission. I have no say in this matter."
"Ah...what should I do?"
The bald director immediately dropped his head like a deflated ball.
"Section Chief Zhang, please contact the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. We need approval from above before we can intervene."
Li Muhan made a suggestion.
Zhang Wenlin nodded, but the bald director was somewhat reluctant.
"Everyone, let's just forget it, or...or not bother you anymore..."
"You're just going to let Xie Chengtian's body rot there!"
Zhang Wenlin immediately became angry and started to curse at the bald director. It was obvious that he was only like this now because they had a very good relationship before, because the bald director was also a director after all.
Now that he was being scolded by Zhang Wenlin, he had no temper at all, but he broke out in a lot of cold sweat.
Li Muhan felt strange as to why this bald man didn't want them to contact the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau.
"Now that we know about this, we can't just ignore it. Although the ghost general is now guarding Yumen Pass, it is not an ordinary alien after all. If you don't want them to contact the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, then I will contact the Provincial Special Management Bureau!"
Zhang Wenlin's determination left the bald director helpless and he could only sigh and say.
"At this point, I won't hide anything from you... You've seen that the Yulang City Special Management Bureau doesn't have any combat personnel or aliens. If we report this to the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau or the Provincial Special Management Bureau, then the subsequent mission won't just be retrieving Director Xie's body."
Having said that, everyone understood the bald director's concerns.
Indeed, if the higher-level Special Management Bureau is informed, they will certainly regard the ghost general himself as a threat. However, once the ghost general is expelled, the evil spirits outside Yumen Pass will make a comeback.
These evil spirits are different from other creatures. Ordinary people cannot even see them with their naked eyes, but they can bring all kinds of diseases and disasters.
Fifteen years ago, Yulong City was covered in yellow sand all day long, and diseases killed almost half of Yulong City’s population.
These are the consequences caused by the power of evil spirits. Even the aliens sent by the Yulang City Special Management Bureau are troubled by these evil spirits.
If Director Xie had not invited the ghost general at the cost of his own life, I'm afraid this matter would not have ended so easily.
Once the ghosts of Yumen Pass are expelled, it will be the Yulang City Special Management Bureau that will have to face those evil spirits.
This is the bald director’s biggest concern.
......
"Aren't you guys going to recover the artifacts? How did you get into all this trouble again?"
Lin Ze said a little tiredly on the other side of the screen. She kept rubbing her temples. It seemed that Director Chang's return did not make her feel more relaxed, but made her even more tired.
"Director Lin, long time no see."
The bald director came to the screen with a smile on his face. Lin Ze glanced at the bald director and seemed to think for a while before speaking.
"You're not...Wei Xingchang, are you?"
When Wei Xingchang heard Lin Ze calling his name, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Yes, yes, yes, Director Lin, you still remember me. The last time we met was two years ago when the General Administration held a meeting to report on our work."
"I remember that the last time I saw you, you still had hair and looked quite handsome. How come you've become like this in just two years?"
Lin Ze held his chin with his hand and looked at Wei Xingchang in disbelief.
Wei Xingchang scratched his already thin hair and gave a wry smile.
"No, there's nothing I can do. It's too quiet here, perfect for growing fat. It's not as busy as the Lin Bureau, who's always busy. Only people like the Lin Bureau..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I understand the general situation. Although the existence of the Ghost General can suppress evil spirits, it doesn't come through normal means. Moreover, we are not sure of its identity. If it stays, it may be a major hidden danger."
"Plus, Director Xie Chengtian was once a colleague of ours in the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. Because of this friendship, we can't just let his body rot there."
Wei Xingchang's face gradually lost its expression. He understood what Lin Ze's words meant.
Sure enough, Lin Ze quickly conveyed the order to Li Muhan and others.
"The latest order is to assist the Yulang City Special Management Bureau in recovering the remains of former director Xie Chengtian and expelling the ghost general."
After the call ended, the listless Wei Xingchang arranged accommodation for them.
Because they were within the Special Management Bureau, Li Muhan no longer needed to live with the old section chief.
He lay on the bed, and after the ambition he had just had faded, only a faint sadness remained.
"Damn it! I got scammed again. Where's the government-funded trip and the wonderful job I was promised?"
Boom boom boom——
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Muhan quickly sat up and grasped the Tang sword placed beside the bed.
"Who is it?"
He asked as he stood at the door holding the Fu Jiang Zhen Mo.
Although this is the Yulong City Special Management Bureau, as Director Wei Xingchang said, they do not have any combatants. In addition, Li Muhan is really worried about Hati. This guy said he wanted to eat him last night.
Although Hati’s way of eating is different from Li Muhan’s understanding of eating.
But it is necessary to be vigilant.
"I......"
The voice coming from outside the door was Xia Yue's.
Li Muhan breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the door and asked Xia Yue, who was wearing pajamas.
"Is there something going on?"
"Well, something's going on."
"What's going on?"
Li Muhan became a little nervous. After all, he was an unfamiliar place. Unlike Tianhai City, even though there were no evil spirits in Yulong City now, the security was not very good.
But man-made disasters are not within the scope of the Special Management Bureau's management.
"I can't sleep."
Li Muhan was stunned.
Looking at the slightly shy girl, he was stunned for a long time before putting away Fu Jiang Zhen Mo and said.
"Then come in first."
After entering the room, Xia Yue didn't say a word and went straight into Li Muhan's quilt, making Li Muhan a little at a loss.
"What are you waiting for? You have a mission tomorrow morning. Go to bed."
Unexpectedly, it was Xia Yue who took the initiative to urge Li Muhan. Since the girl didn't mind, there was no need for Li Muhan to be shy here anymore.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get the bed covers."
Crash——
Xia Yue opened the quilt a little.
"Come in quickly, it's cold."
The nighttime temperature in this small northwestern border town is terrifying. Even though winter has not officially arrived yet, it is enough to make people shiver with cold.
It’s not like Li Muhan had never slept under the same quilt with Xia Yue at home, but that was always when Xia Yue crawled in after Li Muhan fell asleep.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred.
Lying flat on the bed, Li Muhan stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, not daring to move for fear of touching the body of the girl next to him.
"......call."
But Xia Yue seemed to be really sleepy. Just a few seconds after Li Muhan entered the quilt, she began to breathe lightly.
Gulp——
Li Muhan swallowed again and thought about moving to the side.
But at this moment, Xia Yue suddenly turned over and put one hand and one leg on Li Muhan's body, hugging Li Muhan tightly as if she was holding a pillow.
What’s even more terrifying is that those slender, white legs actually touched the place that should not be touched.
Oh shit.
Li Muhan felt his blood rushing up. If he didn't react, he would be a eunuch.
But he still used all his patience to restrain his brother from taking the lead, but another thought urged Li Muhan.
When it's time to strike, strike! You're not Liu Xiahui! Go ahead!
This time, Li Muhan didn't want to endure it anymore.
He took a deep breath and turned over to press the girl down.
But just as he turned around, the girl's beautiful face was already in front of him.
"Alas......"
The two of them were almost touching their noses at this moment, their breathing entangled in an extremely ambiguous atmosphere. Li Muhan could hear his heart beating wildly, and the sweet breath exhaled from the girl's mouth and nose traveled through his body like a kind of magic.
As if she felt Li Muhan's gaze, Xia Yue half opened her eyes. In the darkness, the two looked at each other, almost freezing time forever in this long and silent night.
"Xia Yue..."
Li Muhan broke the silence, he felt he should say something.
But the girl's lips gently touched his lips, and it seemed that there was no need to say anything more. Li Muhan's hands gently embraced the girl's graceful waist, just when their feelings were about to break through this layer of window paper.
Boom boom boom——
There was a knock on the door.
“Who is it!?”
Li Muhan was so frightened that he jumped up immediately.
"Xiaohan, I see your window is open. It might be windy and sandy in the northwest at night. Be careful not to catch a cold."
The voice of the old section chief Zhang Wenlin sounded at the door.
"Oh, okay, Chief Zhang, thank you."
I thank you, uncle, and I thank your whole family!
This completely ruined the atmosphere.
After lying down again, Li Muhan and Xia Yue lay flat on the bed together.
"Sleep?"
Xia Yue asked.
"...Go to sleep..."
So nothing happened that night.
