Chapter 14 Chapter 14
During the few days of getting along with Mi Gao, Ning Su gradually understood some definitions.
For example, small demons and big demons.
The difference between these two concepts does not lie in age, but in strength and bloodline.
Although Ning Su still thinks of himself as a human being, in Mi Gao's eyes, he is already a reserve great demon.
Although strictly speaking he has been a demon for only a short time, due to his powerful aura, he is respected by other demons as the "Big Demon".
Now that we have defined a big demon, that is, a powerful demon, it is easy to name the other demons - those that are not strong enough and not recognized by most demons are all small demons.
Of course, we are now in a civilized society. Although there is a difference in strength between big monsters and small monsters, it may not be related to the happiness index of life.
For example, what Migao envies the most is not the so-called big monster, but a Border Collie who is fed by his owner and is very popular on the Internet.
"Who doesn't want to be fed and lie down?" After being in human society for a long time, Mi Gao is well versed in the art of lying down.
In addition, since the little demons are generally hardworking and integrate well into human society, many of them live a good life.
As for the big demon——
"They are under a lot of control, unwilling to come out, and have little experience. They are even more rustic than us little demons."
When saying this, Mi Gao did not realize that there was a hint of superiority in his words.
However, talking about the degree of socialization between big demons and small demons is only one aspect. When a big demon comes with bad intentions and stands on the opposite side, it is definitely not a good thing.
"Can I beat it?" Seeing the rice cake exploded into a fur ball, Ning Su subconsciously stroked its fur and asked curiously.
"What are you talking about! You haven't even grown all your scales yet!"
There is no doubt that there is a gap in strength between big monsters. Even if their strength is the same, their control over themselves, understanding and use of monster power are not at the same level.
"……All right."
Although as an adult, Ning Su was not impressed by the word "cub", Mi Gao's logic convinced him.
As a human being, he has indeed reached adulthood.
But he has just started to be a demon.
As for why he suddenly turned from a human into a monster, Migao didn’t know either.
"I'm just a little dog demon." Mi Gao said this with confidence.
"What should we do now?" Mi Gao and Ning Su, one a demon, looked at each other.
Of course, they can't win in a fight. The barrier in front of them is a domain set up by the opponent's big demon, maintained by its demonic power. If they try to break through the barrier, it means a formal provocation.
"Do you want to fight the big monster?" asked Mi Gao.
Ning Su shook his head wisely.
Since confronting the monster head-on doesn't work, the only solution left is to use tricks.
"We must first understand what this monster is like."
It is impossible for the big demon to attack for no reason, and now, the person who knows the big demon who has captured people best is actually only Assistant Xiang.
We should find a way to make him tell the truth.
Ning Su's eyes flashed and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Mi Gao, come and help me."
The communication between Ning Su and Mi Gao was all done through sleight of hand. As a necessary subject for the little demons, sleight of hand was already used to perfection.
In addition, Assistant Xiang was filled with fear and his mind was shaken at the moment, so he didn't realize what Ning Su and Mi Gao were saying at all.
In his eyes, Ning Su seemed to be wandering alone sometimes and chattering incessantly sometimes.
Are you crazy?
But in this environment, it seems abnormal not to be crazy.
Ning Su discussed the strategy with Mi Gao, and then pretended nothing had happened.
"How is it?" Officer Song couldn't help but ask.
Although this sentence was expressed out of caution and curiosity, for Ning Su, it definitely provided him with a good stage to perform.
You have to set up the stage before you can perform.
"One good news and one bad news." Even if he wanted to fool people, Ning Su would not be too straightforward, but would beat around the bush.
As expected, when Assistant Xiang heard Ning Su say this, his attention was instantly drawn.
"What do you mean?"
"The good news is that we are heading in the right direction and are very close to the person we are looking for."
In fact, after all this trouble, for Assistant Xiang, the motive of self-preservation has prevailed, and whether or not Zhou Jingyi can be found has become less important.
So he couldn't wait to ask: "What's the bad news?"
"I'm afraid we can't get out."
As Ning Su finished speaking, Assistant Xiang subconsciously looked in the direction where Ning Su was looking. The next second, he quickly realized what Ning Su meant.
The mountains were filled with fog, the trees were swaying, and the shadows of the clouds overhead blocked the moon. The way they came had disappeared just like that!
I just walked by!
At this moment, Assistant Xiang felt as if an electric current was striking from the top of his head, frightening him to death.
"Officer Song!"
"You have to protect me, Officer Song!"
At the most critical moment, Assistant Xiang subconsciously asked for help from the person he trusted most - he jumped up in fright and almost stuck to Officer Song.
Compared to Ning Su and Mi Gao, Officer Song is Assistant Xiang's first choice both in terms of temperament and profession.
"Don't worry, there must be a way." As he said this, Officer Song cast a questioning look at Ning Su.
Even though I didn't understand what Ning Su's goal was, I could roughly realize that the other party said that on purpose.
Why scare people?
Ning Su remained calm and raised an eyebrow at Officer Song. The latter was not stupid, and although he didn't understand, it didn't affect his cooperation.
"How about you stay here first and I'll go take a look ahead?" Officer Song's tone was gentle, but what he said was not what he meant.
"We only have a limited amount of stuff with us. If we don't find a way out in time, we'll probably starve to death in there."
"When the time comes, you will follow Mr. Ning. I believe he will take you out."
“No!”
Although the journey was terrifying, Assistant Xiang was still able to maintain his balance because he had Officer Song as a support.
But if Officer Song left him and something happened accidentally...
"Don't go." Assistant Xiang blurted out, "Zhou Jingyi was arrested because he offended someone. He deserves more than his crime. We don't need to die for him."
There's hope!
Assistant Xiang is a person who is afraid of death and selfish. It turns out that threatening with his life is the only effective way to deal with him.
Sure enough, Officer Song's expression changed when he realized that Assistant Xiang was hiding something.
"What's going on?" If I remember correctly, when Zhou Jingyi's studio received the case, they knew nothing about it and put all the blame on the variety show production.
Since the content of variety shows and the stars themselves do attract curious monsters, some monsters have no sense of propriety and are uneducated, and sometimes they do do some strange things.
Officer Song had heard similar examples from his colleagues in the Demon Bureau several times before, so he was quite relaxed at first.
But from what Assistant Xiang said, the monster was not without malice and might hurt people.
Whether the demon who captured people had subjective malice or not, the relevant departments handled it in completely different ways, and the safety factor of the three colleagues also needed to be re-evaluated.
"I, I am..." Assistant Xiang stammered, his eyes wandering.
At this moment, he finally felt the other meaning of Officer Song's identity—the other party was not only a protector, but also had the power to manage them.
In fact, I don’t deal with the police often, so when something happens, my first reaction is to fool the police. I’ve become accustomed to this when dealing with fans.
This time I finally hit a wall.
"Tell me what's going on." Officer Song was angry, and this time, it was Ning Su who came to smooth things over.
There are indeed benefits to prying Assistant Xiang open his mouth.
From Assistant Xiang, the other two people and the demon quickly understood the whole story.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhou Jingyi offended this mysterious demon was ultimately because of greed.
"Our boss knew that person at a party."
As a popular young actor, Zhou Jingyi socializes quite frequently. In order to move up a career ladder, he often tries to get in touch with higher classes.
At that time, Zhou Jingyi's title as a luxury brand spokesperson had just expired. He wanted to work hard to seek endorsement for another luxury brand, so he did everything he could to sneak into a banquet.
I also met that mysterious friend at this party.
"That man is very handsome and seems to have a close relationship with a certain wealthy man."
The moment they saw each other, everyone was guessing the other person's identity - either a relative of a wealthy man, or a person like Canary.
But no matter which one it is, making friends with the other party will do Zhou Jingyi no harm.
As an opportunist, Zhou Jingyi approached her without hesitation and struck up a conversation. As luck would have it, the result he obtained was quite gratifying.
Although this handsome man was not very proactive, he did not refuse to talk to Zhou Jingyi and even became friends with him.
"Wait."
Ning Su listened to this as if he were listening to a story. When he got to this point, he couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Don't you know each other? Is it so easy to strike up a conversation?"
Strictly speaking, Ning Su was not an outsider, but he was also shocked by Zhou Jingyi's social skills.
“…Not really.” When he said this, Assistant Xiang’s expression became a little complicated.
"According to our boss, that person was playing Candy Crush at that time and was stuck at level 100 or so."
"?"
"so?"
Assistant Xiang said in as serious a tone as possible: "Our boss helped him pass the test."
After getting to know him, Zhou Jingyi discovered that although this friend seemed difficult to approach, he was actually a very simple person.
Zhou Jingyi and his team wanted to please him, so they collected a lot of games for him.
And that mysterious friend was indeed favored. Zhou Jingyi used this to get in touch with the rich man, successfully increased the weight of his side, and defeated his competitors to get the endorsement.
"What happened next?" There is naturally a different story between becoming friends and becoming enemies.
Assistant Xiang paused and lowered his voice by an octave: "Not long ago, that person had a big conflict with his sponsor and ran away."
As a nominal friend, Zhou Jingyi naturally had to show some respect. He took the initiative to show his courtesy and invited the friend to his home.
But……
"Did your boss go back on his word?" At this point, it became obvious what had happened.
Assistant Xiang sighed and recalled the scene at that time.
The "good friend" stayed at Zhou Jingyi's home. During those days, the boss was hesitant and dazed.
He knew very well that the reason he made friends with this person was because he coveted the resources of the wealthy man behind him.
If this friend offends the rich man, it would be more trouble than gain.
Therefore, when he realized that his friend really wanted to leave the financial sponsor behind him, and that the financial sponsor himself was also anxious to get the person back, he found a way to strike up a conversation with the wealthy man, and thereby obtained a resource that he had not been able to access before.
"...Isn't it the play by that famous director?"
Having said that, everything has a reason.
Ning Su finally understood why Assistant Xiang was intentionally or unintentionally on guard against him - these resources were originally obtained by them using unconventional means, so naturally they were worried that Ning Su would snatch them away by other means.
Cheaters also worry about others cheating.
"Then you will know."
After being betrayed, the friend didn't react at first. He was just curious why Zhou Jingyi kept his head down when he left.
Later, when the other party reacted, Zhou Jingyi had already escaped and joined another group under the pretext of work.
This also means to break off all ties of friendship.
Hearing this, Officer Song couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of people getting angry if you do this?"
Judging from this story alone, Zhou Jingyi's actions are more like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Since he finally made friends with the other party, why not maintain the relationship and play the long game to catch the bigger fish?
"No." Assistant Xiang's tone dropped a few degrees, "I heard that the rich man has a bad reputation."
The young boys who came and went around him were either crazy or had mental problems. After leaving the rich man, they kept muttering about monsters and ghosts.
From the outside, the boys around the rich are consumables.
"You are pushing people into the fire pit by doing something you know is impossible!" Even Ning Su got angry when he heard this.
After betraying his friend, Zhou Jingyi's career seemed to be going well, but in fact his life became difficult - bloodstains appeared inexplicably on the bed of the hotel he stayed in, he found someone staring at him while he was sleeping, he had constant nightmares, etc.
At this time, they regretted looking for that friend again, but the other party disappeared like dew.
"Do you suspect that this is revenge from evil spirits?"
Ning Su also understood why Assistant Xiang was so scared before.
There's definitely something fishy going on.
"Officer Song, you will save me, right? This matter has nothing to do with me..." After explaining all this, Assistant Xiang's willpower was completely exhausted.
He held Officer Song's thigh tightly and refused to let go, as if he believed in his heart that his team was being punished.
"Mr. Ning?" Officer Song ignored Assistant Xiang and instead turned his gaze to Ning Su.
As a newcomer in the demon world, Ning Su looked at Mi Gao with confidence.
"It doesn't seem to be what he said."
After hearing that the rich human's surname was Tang, Mi Gao's tone seemed a little dazed.
If I remember correctly, I heard a demon anecdote from a group of small demons a long time ago: a big demon tried to scam a human and was invited back home to be a guardian deity.
That human was a wealthy man. Not only did he provide the monster with good food and drink every day, he also found ways to find humans to play with the monster.
Since there are not many great demons adopted by humans, and there are not many wealthy people with the surname Tang, Mi Gao came up with an absurd guess:
These two...can't be the same monster?
