Chapter 19 Chapter 19
The "Mysterious Challenge" program team hesitated for a long time before sending the invitation message, but after waiting for a whole night, no reply was received.
The program crew didn't receive the news, and as a result, idols of the same generation and their teams in the entire entertainment industry had to stay up late.
This night was extremely exciting.
Later, due to filming schedule and cost issues, the production crew could no longer wait until the next morning. However, even so, they did not add any additional people, but instead changed a lot of processes and rules.
After accidentally discovering Ning Su's interesting side, the production team of the "Mysterious Challenge" program has taken every aspect into consideration.
However, Ning Su did not realize the painstaking efforts and designs of the program team. In fact, when he received the message claiming to be from the "Mysterious Challenge" program team, his first reaction was absurdity.
In this day and age, all the scammers have fallen for him?
Does he look like someone who would be invited to appear on the current hit variety show?
After blocking the scammer, Ning Su did not waste more time on such things. Instead, he took advantage of the early morning light and his sharp mind to sit at the table and finish the song he had not finished before.
Even though he was interrupted halfway, the beauty of the music he felt when breaking the barrier was still preserved in his heart.
After writing the music score, Ning Su took out his guitar and played it.
While he was playing, Mi Gao was happily playing games, but when he heard the melody, he couldn't help but put down his tablet and came to lie on the mat next to Ning Su.
"What's wrong?"
When the song ended, Ning Su couldn't help but ask.
Mi Gao woofed and said hesitantly, "This song of yours seems to be different from the previous ones."
As an original singer with a hit song, Ning Su's creative skills are naturally not low. But although his previous songs were pleasant to the ear, they were only "nice to listen to".
But what we did today was different. It seemed that in addition to being pleasant to the ears, it also had some properties that attracted monsters.
"Maybe this has something to do with my mutation?"
Recalling his recent changes, Ning Su had to attribute it to changes in his body.
After all, creation reflects the writer's own perception of the surroundings. When one's own environment and mentality have changed, it is natural that the content and form of the creation will change.
After saving the song, Ning Su packed up and prepared to go out -
Not long ago, Director Tan sent a message and took a photo of an ancient book.
It turned out that after returning to the Monster Bureau, Director Tan did not delay, but went directly to find the old monster to ask, and then went to the Monster Bureau's library to find relevant content.
The so-called transformation of a human into a monster cannot be strictly speaking called a "transformation".
To be precise, Ning Su, a human, originally had the blood of a demon in his body.
"You know, there was a history of humans and demons living together thousands of years ago."
The history given by Director Tan is naturally not the history known to ordinary humans, but an alternative history that adds the demon race.
During this period of history, demons appeared frequently, and even some famous figures in human history were actually great demons.
Then, with environmental changes and some factors of the times, the demon race gradually declined and withdrew from human history.
In the past thousand years, there have been no monsters in human history.
"You mean to say that I'm probably a hybrid of human and demon?"
"It is most likely so." Director Tan was very satisfied with Ning Su's ability to understand, and continued, "But the awakening of blood requires certain conditions. Has anything else happened to you before?"
Hearing this, Ning Su couldn't help but recall his past as an idol.
Finally, he noticed something from his business Weibo - a month before his strength increased, he had fainted once.
Before he fainted, he had a vague hallucination, as if millions of stars were rushing towards his arms.
"It may be that the Emperor's Flowing Liquid occurs once every sixty years in that month."
The so-called Emperor's Liquid is the essence of the moonlight. It is also recorded in ancient books, where it is described as "shaped like an olive". Thousands of golden threads hang down to the human world. If absorbed by a demon, it can equal a thousand years of cultivation.
Due to the serious environmental pollution in recent years and the increase of impurities in the air, the legendary tonic Emperor Liujiang certainly no longer has its previous effectiveness.
But for monsters, it is still a feast that cannot be missed.
"We were shooting on location that day, right out in the open air," Ning Su recalled.
The reason why he fainted that day was because the director of the commercial they participated in was extremely harsh. He took advantage of the fact that they were idols from a minor idol group and tried to make things difficult for them.
That night, not only Ning Su couldn't stand it, but other members of the group also complained.
But even so, the agent asked them to be patient.
After all, obscure groups have no human rights. In the world of traffic, the treatment an artist enjoys is determined by how popular he is.
The current situation in the circle was contrary to his original intention of entering the circle. At that time, he first thought about leaving the circle.
"Then this is really a combination of the right time, the right place and the right people."
Director Tan didn’t know what Ning Su was thinking, he just sighed - among so many people in the world, Ning Su was the only one who could awaken his bloodline by accident.
"Perhaps it's because your bloodline is strong."
The above speculation not only comes from books, but also from the old monster in the Monster Bureau.
After figuring out the reason for his body's changes, Ning Su felt a lot more relieved, especially when he got the brand new "Demon Identity Card" from Director Tan, his sense of security reached its peak.
After thanking Director Tan, Ning Su closed the dialog box.
In the afternoon of that day, I took the time to book a ticket home.
Since he is a hybrid of human and demon, his adoptive father should know the more specific details... right?
However, as if he had expected that he would go home, Ning Su came back empty-handed after wasting most of the day on the road.
"Hey, you are Taoist Ning's child, right? I have seen you before."
At the entrance of his adoptive father’s Taoist temple, an elderly man who looked familiar stared at Ning Su curiously.
"Yes, Granny Zhang." Ning Su took off his mask.
"Hey, didn't you go out to be a star? Why are you back suddenly?"
Residents in small places are isolated from the news. Even though Ning Su has retired from the entertainment industry for two months, they still think that Ning Su is still a fashion trendsetter working in the glamorous front-line industry.
"I have something to ask my dad."
It was difficult to explain his situation in just a few words, and Ning Su had no intention of explaining his past here, so he could only smile and change the subject.
"Your dad? Hey, isn't your dad out on some business?"
"Didn't he tell you? He asked me to come and help look after the house from time to time."
Ning Su fell into silence.
He was just like countless other wanderers who subconsciously believed that their parents were waiting for them there and they would see them as soon as they returned home.
In fact, the lives of the elderly are richer and more interesting than those of the young, and they don’t care what the young people think when they are having fun.
In the old lady’s circle of friends, Ning Su saw short videos of his elders hiking, drinking, and dancing, and fell silent again.
“…Can’t you see?”
Ning Su smiled.
Apparently his old father has blocked his circle of friends!
Fortunately, the old lady took pity on him for making such a wasted trip and took him back to eat. After dinner, the old lady asked cryptically, "Xiao Ning, can you help pay back the money your father owes?"
Ning Su: “…”
That night, Ning Su got on the high-speed train for the return trip, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
When he returned home, his bank card balance was still in five digits, but when he left, there were only a few thousand yuan left in the card.
Apart from food and drink, the monthly rent is fifteen hundred.
After becoming an idol, Ning Su's life was hard, but definitely not as difficult as it is now.
The reality before him, to some extent, reminded Ning Su to consider his next job.
He has left the entertainment industry, but he can't just sit at home and live off his savings.
Just as Ning Su was thinking about what to do next, the Demon Bureau finally finished its meeting and approved Director Tan's proposal.
The establishment and enrollment expansion.
According to what Director Tan said at the meeting, since the Monster Bureau has assumed the responsibility of managing the monsters, it should increase its presence.
"We can't let humans laugh at us then, can we?"
In addition, Ning Su's mutation also became one of the reasons for promoting the reform of the Demon Bureau - since Emperor Liujiang can cause Ning Su's bloodline to awaken, similar situations may not exist.
Moreover, according to statistics from the Monster Bureau, the monster movements in the past six months have been much greater than in the past decade or so.
It is difficult to say for what reason.
Director Tan was only the deputy director of a business department of the A City Monster Bureau. Logically, he did not have such great power. However, unexpectedly, his suggestion was quickly adopted.
"What's going on?"
Privately, Director Tan himself was also puzzled.
Fortunately, these days, Director Tan gave gifts frequently and was a very kind person. Some old monsters in the monster bureau gradually recognized him and told him gossip.
"The Beijing City Monster Bureau was ridiculed, and the head of the General Administration was furious."
The Demon Bureau of Beijing City is the chief of the four major Demon Bureaus. Due to the special location of Beijing City, the General Administration also shares office space with it, so its status can be seen.
However, not long ago, something went wrong when Jing City was handling a case, and it was finally settled with the help of human police.
This punctured the mysterious and powerful image that the Demon Bureau had created over the years, making the Demon Bureau lose face.
Then, the higher-ups started clamoring for reform.
Actually, reform is not that simple, but taking action first is definitely a good way to extinguish the anger of the upper class.
Firing people may not be easy, but recruiting new people is definitely not difficult - so, taking advantage of the time when various units reported their job plans for the national civil service examination this year, the four branches of the Yao Bureau generously reported more than a dozen positions.
Not only humans but also monsters need to be recruited.
This is the first time in decades or even hundreds of years.
So, just when the Monster Bureau had just submitted the job plan and before it was reviewed and announced, monsters like Migao who were well-informed had already heard the news.
Therefore, when Ning Su arrived in City A exhausted and backed up his car to his familiar house, he unexpectedly found that Mi Gao was not playing games, but was scratching his head and reading a book.
Ten Years as a Demon, Hundred Years as a Civil Servant
Ning Su: “?”
Who would have thought that the first wind that blew into the demon tribe was not anything else but the civil service examination textbooks.
