Chapter 18 Chapter 18
The sensational fox demon incident ended with Tang Songzhi paying a large fine.
This fine will be used to pay Zhou Jingyi's medical expenses, and the rest of the funds for the Demon Bureau will be collected.
After successfully handling a case, everyone present should be relieved, but in reality, all the people and monsters had an inexplicable feeling of disappointment.
Death is an obstacle that even great demons cannot overcome.
Accepting that the people you cherish are gradually leaving this world is a lesson that everyone must learn.
"That...senior."
After hanging up the phone and paying the fine, Fox Demon was free again. Ning Su couldn't help but yelled when he saw him about to leave.
"What?"
Although he would show soft emotions in front of the Tang family, the fox demon naturally did not have such a good temper towards outsiders and turned around fiercely.
Ning Su couldn't help but take a step back. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took out a bottle of Yuehua.
"I don't know if it's useful, but if it's useful for monsters, it should be useful for humans too."
The fox demon was stunned for a moment, then snorted after realizing what Ning Su wanted to say.
"You can think of it, why can't I think of it?"
As a great demon, it had started trying various methods when the old lady was seriously ill.
It is precisely because these methods are useless that we get stuck in a dead end and go further and further astray.
"I'm leaving."
Although the fox demon didn't think this method was useful, he appreciated Ning Su's kindness. He left without looking back, saying "Don't use your magic power if there's nothing to do."
Of course, the other party did not completely withdraw, but was reminded by Ning Su and turned to negotiate a deal with the Yao Bureau.
As an organization that maintains order in the human world and restrains monsters, although the Monster Bureau is not prosperous today, it still has a long history and rich reserves.
Director Tan did not reject Fox Demon's request outright, but asked him to leave his contact information and the two sides made another appointment.
Obviously, the fox demon needs the help of the Demon Bureau, and the Demon Bureau does not want to offend this big demon and the human tycoon behind him.
After finishing the job, the fox demon left, which also meant that the Demon Bureau's activities for the day had come to a successful conclusion.
Director Tan finally found time to formally meet with Ning Su.
"you……"
As the biggest contributor to this event, Director Tan was unsure of Ning Su's background, so he had to ask in the most enthusiastic tone:
"What's your name?"
This guy is quite young, maybe less than a hundred years old?
As if realizing that Director Tan had misunderstood something, Ning Su was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Just call me Ning Su."
Director Tan wanted to make friends with Ning Su, so he naturally wouldn't just call him by his name. So, after some compromise, Director Tan called Ning Su "Xiao Ning".
Ning Su naturally changed his address to Director Tan "Uncle Tan".
In interpersonal relationships, using familiar terms is definitely a way to bring people closer together. At the very least, after two people have been in this relationship, they will feel much closer to each other.
As a result, there were fewer unnecessary barriers in subsequent communications.
Before coming, Director Tan had already heard about what happened along the way from Officer Song and was very satisfied with Ning Su's performance.
Now, seeing that the other party is easy to communicate with, the satisfaction has risen from eight points to ten points.
Ning Su's purpose of coming here with Mi Gao this time was to find out his origins, so during this conversation, he did not hesitate to explain his situation.
"How could such a sudden change happen?"
Since entering the Monster Bureau as a cadre, Director Tan has encountered many strange things, but Ning Su's transformation is still the most bizarre one.
How could such a good person turn into a monster?
Fortunately, Director Tan is a very enthusiastic person. Although he could not give an answer, he boldly took on the task.
"Don't worry, I will definitely ask an expert for you when I get back."
He remembered that there were several demons over a thousand years old enshrined in the bureau, in addition to that, there were also a huge amount of documents.
Ning Su got the answer he wanted and finally completed the mission of this trip. He said goodbye to Director Tan and returned with five bottles of Yuehua.
Director Tan saw him off reluctantly.
Xiao Du rolled his eyes at the side - he knew that this was another case of Director Tan's habit of valuing talent.
Since the Demon Bureau has few available personnel and insufficient funding, they will behave like this whenever they see a available person.
However, due to a series of problems, the Demon Bureau has not had any new members for many years, except for a few humans.
There are only so many positions in the Monster Bureau, and they are occupied by monsters all year round. It is probably more difficult to recruit new monsters than to kill them all.
Otherwise, Director Tan would not have come up with the unusual idea of hiring someone from outside.
Ning Su didn't know that his appearance had caused Director Tan to have wild thoughts and, to some extent, had also promoted the reform of the Monster Bureau.
At this time, he had just walked out of the dense forest and left the Green Park.
At the park entrance, the elderly people who were doing morning exercises were already ready. Even though they knew that the park was temporarily occupied for the filming of a variety show, they still carried out their activities regardless of rain or shine.
On the other side is the subway in City A.
The morning rush hour has not yet ended, and groups of workers are still gathering towards the subway entrance. Many of them are busy rushing to catch up, holding steaming fragrant pancakes in their hands.
Ning Su couldn't help swallowing.
It’s great, a world full of fireworks belonging to ordinary people.
It was not convenient for Ning Su to take the subway back because he was bringing the puppy with him, but after a hard night's work and so much activity, Ning Su thought about it and decided to walk to the stall.
"What to eat?"
"A pancake." After calculating the balance in his bank card, Ning Su silently stopped himself from buying another sausage.
Mi Gao bit Ning Su's trouser leg.
"If you add more, I'll treat you." Mi Gao said generously.
At worst, he could go back and do one more dungeon, get two more pieces of equipment and sell them.
Thanks to Migao's generosity, Ning Su finally bought a super luxurious pancake family portrait and bought an extra sausage for Migao.
"This ham is mine." Ning Su said proudly.
"…Thank you."
After finishing his meal standing on the roadside, Ning Su regained his strength. In order to avoid being recognized, he took out a mask from his pocket.
"To be honest, I don't think anyone would recognize you."
After all, they became familiar with each other, and Mi Gao could tell the truth in front of Ning Su.
"I heard that if a star doesn't show up for a month or two, he or she will be completely out of fashion."
After all, after STUN disbanded, the entertainment industry had another talent show. Male idols popped up like mushrooms after rain.
"shut up."
Even though quitting the circle was his own decision and being forgotten was expected, Ning Su was also a normal person and had his own vanity.
"Run back." Ning Su had originally planned to call an online taxi to take the puppy home, but after hearing this, he decisively changed his mind.
save money!
Mi Gao didn't care about the way he went home, nor did he worry about whether he had missed some unknown benefits. After he had hurt Ning Su frankly, he thought of another topic.
"Tell me, why are the people from the Demon Bureau so polite to us?"
After all, it is the organization that manages himself, so Mi Gao naturally has a sense of awe towards the Yao Bureau.
What's more, it has lived for so long and is not an ignorant monster. It has also heard about the style of the monster bureau from other little monsters.
Although the attitude of the staff is not bad, they are not that polite anyway.
"I don't know either." Ning Su was confused.
The reason can’t be found, but it doesn’t stop Mi Gao from thinking about it.
It recalled the TV series it had watched before and the gossip of Haohao's grandmother that it occasionally heard, and an idea suddenly came to its mind.
It is said that human males will only take the initiative to get close to strangers and act considerate and enthusiastic when they are on a blind date.
"That human, is he trying to chase you?!" Mi Gao realized he had discovered the truth and blurted out.
After hearing this, Ning Su, who was jogging, couldn't brake for a moment and almost collided with a bicycle.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Ning Su's thrilling morning ended with Mi Gao's horrific guess. Ning Su returned home, took a shower, packed up, and went to bed to catch up on some sleep.
After retiring from the entertainment industry, although I have been living in a sea of poverty, my free time has indeed increased a lot.
The autumn temperature was just right and the sun was shining brightly outside the window. Mi Gao put down his game, found a seat on the sofa, curled up and closed his eyes.
The man and the dog were immersed in their respective dreams. When they woke up, the sky was already filled with rosy clouds.
"What time is it?"
Ning Su took out his cell phone in a daze, glanced at the screen, and was immediately awakened by the message on the phone.
It’s nothing, there are just so many unread messages on this phone.
Ning Su didn't rush to get up, but instead grabbed a pillow and leaned against the bedside, then opened his phone and started reading the messages.
Soon, he knew why he received so many messages.
It turned out that he was actually photographed eating pancakes while standing not far from the subway in the morning, and the photo was uploaded to the Internet.
The blogger originally wanted to show everyone the handsome passerby photo he took by chance, but who knew that the photo was unexpectedly seen by Ning Su's fans.
"My dear, my dear! How did you become so miserable?"
Ning Su's fans originally had good intentions, but there are many idle people on the Internet and few kind people. This post, which was originally filled with self-pity and fan abuse, was immediately submitted to some bots.
The comments that followed were naturally not very nice.
"I was so determined to resign at that time, thinking that my family had a mine, but this is the result?"
"It's so funny, eating pancakes at a roadside stall, what's the difference between that and me?"
"Help me, the halo on me is gone... Why are you destroying yourself like this?"
Among the many comments lamenting Ning Su's self-degradation, there are some with a unique style:
“…Well, even though you didn’t dress up, your face is still pretty.”
"It looks very cute."
"Hey, does anyone have contact information? I want to raise one."
Ning Su figured out what happened, and naturally understood the nature of the message he received.
Sure enough, if you randomly look through a few, apart from the people in his circle who care about him, there are his former rivals who claim to care but actually laugh at him.
——Yes, although Ning Su’s previous group was not popular, he also had a counterattack script that year, secured a position for debut, and also seized many opportunities from others.
And now, naturally, it is time for "others" to laugh at him in return.
Ning Su decisively ignored these boring people and turned his attention to other news -
If the fact that he was eating pancakes on the street was just news within the small circle, then the big news that shook the entertainment industry today was that Zhou Jingyi was admitted to the hospital.
Also included is the big news of a fight between Zhou Jingyi’s team and the variety show crew.
First Zhou Jingyi disappeared, and then there was such a straightforward quarrel, which made the onlookers jump up and down with great pleasure.
While people outside the circle were curious about the reasons behind it, other idol teams in the circle also started to take action.
Zhou Jingyi is gone, but they are still here!
Who wouldn’t want to be on this popular variety show?
At this time, the production team, who were being dealt with by various parties, were struggling over whether to send an invitation to their favorite guests.
"Will he agree?"
"Since you've already retired, you probably don't want to come back..."
"Forget it, just send it."
The producer of the variety show thought about it again and again, and finally sent an invitation to Ning Su.
Next to him was a photo of Ning Su rock climbing taken by a passerby.
In the photo, Ning Su stands at the highest point, looking into the distance, with a unique temperament rarely seen among young artists in the entertainment industry.
This scene gave the producer a lot of creative inspiration instantly.
In addition, when the production team accidentally discovered that Ning Su had a good relationship with the director of the Special Management Bureau, Ning Su's priority compared to other idols of the same age instantly rose to the top.
