Chapter 20: Everything will be fine once the money arrives
The girl named Hati ignored Xia Yue and just hummed a song. There was no expression on her face. She looked at the city below as if she was looking at a huge cemetery.
It wasn't until Hati came behind her that she slowly stopped humming the ballad.
"Long time no see, Little Moon."
......
At the same time, Li Muhan, who was sleeping, was pulled back to the opera house.
At this moment, the opera house was echoing with melodious singing. If Li Muhan didn't know that those audience members were demons, he would even suspect that he had come to a church.
By touching the statue of Baal, Li Muhan came to the ruined temple.
Looking at the demon Baal sitting at the highest position, Li Muhan was furious.
Because Bal was still feeling sorry for himself at this time.
"Why on earth did I lose? Why on earth did I lose?"
"Why, are you upset?"
Li Muhan walked over and grabbed Bal, pulling him up from the throne.
"I don't know who you lost to, but how long will you be depressed?"
Bal, who was being dragged by Li Muhan, did not answer. He just turned his head slightly to look at Li Muhan and said lightly.
"You won't understand. You are just a mortal and a loser."
"Ah Minos! Are you going to have a fight?! I'm the landlord! You're in my body! It's fine if you don't pay the rent, but why are you cursing at me!?"
Just when Li Muhan was about to have a good fight with this demon.
Bal has closed his eyes, as if he doesn't want to say another word to Li Muhan. Li Muhan knows that Bal's soul is now incomplete. If he wants to communicate with him normally, he must first repair his soul.
But how to fix it?
[To repair Baal's soul, it is necessary to harvest the souls of other alien species to make up for the incomplete Baal's soul.]
It was as if he knew Li Muhan’s difficulties.
The solution immediately popped into his mind.
Harvesting the souls of other aliens? What a simple and crude method.
Finally, he looked at Bal again, and saw that he slowly sat back on the throne, and he couldn't help feeling curious.
King Bal was so powerful, who defeated him and made him unable to recover?
This was Li Muhan’s last thought, and then he was brought back to reality by the sound of his cell phone alarm.
Ding ding ding——
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Lin Ze. He knew that the other party must be calling about what happened yesterday.
"How's it going, Li Muhan? Did you rest well? Your injuries should have recovered."
Li Muhan took the time to look at the time. It was only 6 o'clock in the morning. When he turned around, he saw that the room was empty. Could it be that Xia Yue didn't come back last night?
"Well, the wound is almost healed. Now...Ah!!"
Li Muhan tried to prop himself up and sit up from the sofa, but when he pressed his hand next to him, he found it was soft.
When he looked down, Xia Yue was sleeping next to him.
"Li Muhan? What happened?"
Lin Ze on the other end of the phone asked with some confusion.
“…Hmm.”
Xia Yue was disturbed by Li Muhan and opened her eyes slightly, but immediately turned over to face Li Muhan, hugged Li Muhan's arm and continued to fall asleep.
"Are you taking a shit? Do you want me to call you later?"
Lin Ze was already getting a little impatient on the other end of the phone.
"It's okay, I just haven't woken up yet."
Li Muhan tried hard to calm down, and at the same time decided in his heart that he must have a good talk with Xia Yue, as doing so would be scary.
After that, he finally broke free from Xia Yue's hand, walked to the door in slippers and continued talking to Lin Ze.
"Okay, we can continue."
"I didn't realize you had tracheitis, Li Muhan."
"Okay, Director Lin, I think you have something to talk to me about."
Lin Ze put away his joking tone and spoke slightly seriously.
"I've read your transcript from last night. The one who attacked you is an unregistered vampire. We will continue to track her down."
"What about the man who saved me?"
Li Muhan asked, leaning on the handrail in the stair corridor, playing with the door key in his hand.
"Her name is Hati, nicknamed Beifeng. She's not under the supervision of the Huaxia Special Management Bureau. Oh, and she and Xia Yue have some old grudges. If possible, try not to have any contact with her in the future."
Li Muhan smiled bitterly. After all, the other person saved his life, so he had to make do with what he had done.
When she and Xia Yue were fighting, he could just cheer them on without intervening.
Moreover, among all the things that happened to me now, except for taking Xia Yue home, which one was done voluntarily? Could I just avoid getting involved in it?
As for the old grudge between Xia Yue and Bei Feng, Li Muhan did not ask, and Lin Ze did not bring up the topic again.
"By the way, I heard you're still working part-time?"
Lin Ze suddenly said this.
"Yeah, but it's gone now. I'm fired."
Li Muhan felt a little discouraged when talking about this. He still had some savings, but he couldn't go on like this.
"That's perfect. Team 7 is now complete and will soon be back on regular missions. You won't have much time to work part-time after this."
Li Muhan was a little unhappy. He was helping out voluntarily, but why did it act like he, Li Muhan, had signed a contract to sell himself?
"Director Lin, I've told you many times that I haven't decided to join the Special Management Bureau yet. Why are you arranging a job for me? I don't even have the rent..."
Li Muhan got angry when he thought of the rent. He was so poor but he paid the rent on time, but the autistic demon in his body actually called him a loser, as if he owed him something.
Ding Dong——
Alipay suddenly popped up a message for Li Muhan.
"30,000 yuan has been deposited into my Alipay account."
Li Muhan was dumbfounded.
What's going on?! How did 30,000 suddenly arrive in my account?!
"Rent? That's right, you're still a student. This is my personal sponsorship of your living expenses. When you officially join the Special Management Bureau, your initial salary will probably be about the same. The money should have been transferred to you. Do you want to take a look?"
"It's...it's arrived. Wait, 30,000 a month?!"
"Hmm? This is just the base salary, not including other extra benefits and mission attendance bonuses. You're a newcomer, so you won't get much, probably around 30,000 a month."
Boom——
Li Muhan felt like Baal's lightning struck him directly in the heart. Thirty thousand a month!? What kind of high-paying job is this?!
"Of course, if you don't want to accept my sponsorship, I can also..."
"No, no, no, Director Lin, I accept, I accept. Although I didn't join, I can still help you. What did you say just now, work? Okay, okay, I'm yours for the rest of my life."
In this way, Li Muhan became a trainee of the Special Management Bureau.
An hour later, he and Xia Yue arrived at the Special Management Bureau together, because today, Team 7 will have their first mission.
In the meeting room of Team 7, Huo Tian, Su Xue, Lin Ziyu and Yin Qi have all arrived.
After seeing Li Muhan, Huo Tian was about to step forward when he suddenly saw Xia Yue who followed Li Muhan in. He was so scared that he quickly took two steps back.
"The captain is still so afraid of Miss Xia."
Su Xue said jokingly.
"Shut up, Peach."
Huo Tian lowered his head and muttered.
Li Muhan was a little curious. How could Huo Tian, a seemingly fearless man, actually be afraid of someone? He turned and looked at Xia Yue.
"What's going on?"
"I dealt with him once before, when he just joined the Special Management Bureau."
Xia Yue said it lightly and expressionlessly, as if she was talking about something as easy as eating a piece of bread this morning.
Li Muhan probably understood, and for the sake of his captain's reputation, he did not ask any further questions.
