Chapter 79 Chapter 79
Oh no, could it be that the scam has failed?
And he ran into a court demon?
The goldfish monster was caught in Ning Su's hand. It swung its tail with difficulty, and then began to think about the monster he had tricked in his mind.
You know what, there really are quite a lot.
Its innate ability is divination. Although it is a great demon, its fighting ability is not strong. When it first embarked on the path of divination in its early years, it bullied many demons.
For this, it suffered a lot of beatings.
But divination is not always accurate. What is predicted is just the most likely outcome among many possible future outcomes.
In reality, even things that are almost certain to happen can still have unexpected events. How can we demand that the results of divination be accurate?
The goldfish demon - oh no, the big demon named Jinli has very clear logic and a very solid core, and he never gets frustrated because of his own mistakes in divination.
Of course, Jinli has done some bad things during his many years in the business world.
Back then, when he was the poorest, he once cheated a wealthy man - of course, this was his boldest and most successful adventure.
Since then, it not only gained the friendship of the entire family of the stupid rich man, but also gained a huge amount of wealth.
Because of this incident, it became a famous rich monster. If there had not been an accident, the gold it got from divination could probably have been used for it to squander for another thousand years.
Thinking of this, Jinli felt extremely distressed and wagged his tail even harder.
Although it currently has no body, the opponent can catch it, so of course it will struggle - regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is also a kind of fun for the big guy.
Having said that, Jinli's scattered thoughts finally came back to mind. He seemed to have remembered his rich and stupid friend, and even the questions that he had originally had no feelings about, suddenly came to mind.
Wait, using... photos... to cheat?
In fact, it has been doing its main business for so many years, mostly relying on its sharp tongue, and rarely needs to use other means -
In its view, being able to observe and persuade people is the first essential of this profession. Using other methods would be putting the cart before the horse.
Of course, there are occasional exceptions to this principle.
For example, when it was fooling its wealthy and stupid friend, in order to gain the other party's trust, it paid a huge price and used its innate abilities to scoop up several pictures from the long river of time.
With these pictures of the cubs, it made huge profits.
Thinking of this, Jinli's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but look up to look at this strange court demon.
Behind the shining golden light, it seemed to see the golden light of dragon scales.
Jinli's mind buzzed.
Oh no, he was really caught by the demon?
What shocked Jinli even more was that the prediction it made that year, "the dragon clan will have a cub", was clearly an event with extremely low probability, so why did this cub still appear?
Is there something wrong with its divination technique?
If it had known this earlier, why would it have felt guilty at the time? Why would it have hidden away, worrying that those wealthy fools would discover the truth?
We should have asked them for help as soon as we realized something was wrong.
If it hadn't thought about it wrongly for a moment and left the protection of the dragon clan, it wouldn't have been in such a miserable state now.
Thinking of this, the little goldfish started crying.
Although he was in a spirit state without a body, he actually cried tears.
Ning Su: “…”
Obviously, they were the ones who were wronged, so why were they crying like this? It was as if they had bullied an innocent demon.
Thinking of this, Ning Su loosened his hand, and the goldfish slipped from his hand, floated into the little girl's hand, and merged with her.
Seeing this, Ning Su couldn't help but frowned again.
There is no doubt that the goldfish is a big monster and now it has even lost its body. It is obvious that it has encountered some great disaster.
But the other party was very weak, so it was obviously not a good time to forcefully ask him questions.
"It fell asleep." The girl said in a low voice after looking at Ning Su.
Ning Su had no choice but to swallow his question.
In the next two days, the little goldfish still did not wake up. While waiting for it, Ning Su found out what happened in the little girl's home.
The girl was born in a family that favors boys over girls. She accidentally saved the goldfish and gained some divination abilities.
With this ability, the family treated him as a cash cow. Until recently, the goldfish woke up and figured out a way to escape.
The reason why the other party was able to come to Xiaoyao School in W City was obviously the best result obtained by divination.
"This hexagram was made by the teacher himself."
The goldfish taught the little girl how to tell fortunes, and deceived her into believing that he was an extremely powerful and mysterious figure, so the little girl became his disciple.
Obviously, although the goldfish has lost its body, it can still make a name for itself among humans with its natural talents and gain the reputation of a master of fortune-telling.
The little girl trusted the other party more and more, so when the goldfish told her to run away, she did not hesitate at all.
But who knew that although he ran away, the teacher was in trouble.
Thinking of the scene where her wise and brave teacher was held in Ning Su's hand, the little girl felt that it would probably take her a long time to digest this matter.
"What are you going to do next?"
Whether it was "preferring sons over daughters" or "being exploited by the family", these were facts that had already happened and were of no benefit to the future. Ning Su only asked the girl about her current plans.
Being able to gain freedom by one's own efforts shows that the other person is not a child who knows nothing.
"I want to stay here and wait for the teacher to wake up, is that okay?"
The little girl also knew that both her rescue and the abilities displayed by the mysterious adult in front of her were much stronger than she knew.
In this case, it would be best to get the protection of a strong person.
Isn’t it written like this even on the hexagrams?
Ning Su would certainly not refuse the little girl's request - after all, the little goldfish itself is also a monster, and the girl's series of experiences are also closely related to the monster.
Solving this matter is within his scope of responsibility.
The little girl was properly settled in and helped to enroll in a nearby school. The work of the Demon Bureau was temporarily completed.
However, the girl's family became a problem.
After the little girl ran away, the other family quickly called the police and acted as if they were determined to take the little girl home.
"The family has been a deadbeat for many years, and they have been able to turn things around in recent years thanks to this little daughter."
It’s okay if a daughter is lost, but it’s not okay if this daughter is a cash cow.
The girl left home for several days, and even today, this family and some relatives are still gathering in front of the police station to cause trouble.
What’s more, the other party even contacted the media and spread rumors that the police had hidden their child.
The police were also quite passive in this matter.
Charges such as "abuse" require evidence, and the little girl, as a cash cow, was not treated harshly in terms of material conditions.
Even if girls do not cooperate and are physically punished, there is no evidence at the time and it cannot be used as evidence.
The whole family knew this very well, so they acted very recklessly.
Just in these few days, the other party seemed to have found some traffic password, and started live broadcast while crying online.
"What's the purpose of live streaming?" Ning Su asked curiously.
"Make money by selling goods."
Ning Su: “…”
"Wait a little longer." Ning Su comforted the police, who were also worried, "People like them are bound to make mistakes."
In fact, Ning Su's judgment was very accurate.
The family had gotten used to the luxurious life brought about by the money earned by their youngest daughter, and their appetites had already grown bigger. They were no longer content with their previous poor life.
However, it is impossible to achieve the goal of getting rich by relying on the little traffic generated by the noise.
Not only that, the contract signed with the merchant needs to be fulfilled.
Under economic pressure, the family had to return to their old business - relying on fortune-telling in the live broadcast room.
Ning Su opened it curiously and took a look, and found a listless young man sitting in front of the camera and talking nonsense.
Even so, there are still people giving rewards.
"What are these?"
“Old customer.”
In the past, when the little girl was there, these old customers got the results they wanted and built trust with each other.
This trust has continued to this day.
Even if a new master is appointed, one must pay tribute politely.
"Who is this person?" Ning Su asked curiously.
"The little girl's brother."
One of the reasons why the family was so anxious was that they had bought a house and a car for their son, and they needed the girl to come back and work like a slave to earn a dowry for his brother.
Ning Su was speechless for a moment, staring at the little girl's brother for a few seconds, and said, "Even if you have the money, you may not be able to spend it."
"What's wrong?" The police colleague came over curiously.
They knew that Ning Su's identity was not simple, so they naturally cared about every word Ning Su said.
"You can also tell fortunes?"
Ning Su: "No, I guess."
After saying that, Ning Su took out his mobile phone and promptly reported the live broadcast room, and the reason for the report was "spreading feudal superstition."
After a while, the live broadcast room was closed.
“So soon?”
This police officer occasionally watched videos on this platform in private and had reported illegal live broadcast rooms before, but never so quickly.
What’s even more exaggerated is that after Ning Su reported this live broadcast room, the manager of the Rainbow platform called him shortly afterwards.
"We didn't supervise it properly. Thank you for reporting it. We will definitely check other live broadcast rooms."
Police officer: “?”
Why are the video platforms so polite? Are they the police, or is Ning Ju the police?
Seeing this, Ning Su explained: "I have some cooperation with this platform."
The Rainbow Platform is also a product of the Dreamland Group. Ning Su is the spokesperson for the entire product line and uses an account given by the company, so his report naturally has the highest priority.
Policeman: “…”
A logic that had never been thought of was born!
It’s worthy of being Director Ning.
Ning Su sincerely wanted to resolve the issue of the little girl's parents, so after the family was banned from all online platforms, he invited local media to debunk the rumors.
At the same time, the police also found some evidence of the family's crimes and planned to detain them according to law.
However, before the police arrived to arrest anyone, they discovered that something had happened at the little girl’s home.
Two figures fled from the girl's house and disappeared, while the little girl's brother fell to the ground and his parents called their son's name in tears.
"Comrade police, you must help!"
"Send him to the hospital!"
Although they didn't know what exactly happened, saving lives was the most important thing. The police and the family rushed the man to the hospital, and after some rescue, they saved the man's life.
The doctor was a little hesitant when telling the results.
But out of professionalism, he still suggested: "Although the patient is physically fine, he still needs to pay attention to his life in the future, especially his mental state."
After learning who the patient's parents were, he comforted them implicitly: "Especially you, as parents, you should comfort your children more."
"In this world, even without family life, there are still many things to pursue."
What's the meaning?
The man's parents were stunned for a moment, not understanding what the doctor was saying in a roundabout way. When their son's anesthesia was over and he was sent to the ward, they were wiping his body when he suddenly took two steps back and fainted.
My son, there is no way I can have offspring.
For this family, the daughter's disappearance was just the loss of a cash cow, but the son's loss of the ability to reproduce was like the collapse of the family.
The couple cried bitterly, and they still could not get over the bad news until the police came to investigate.
"It's all that damn girl's fault." The couple said gritting their teeth.
It turned out that shortly after their daughter showed her special abilities, someone came to them and wanted to "buy" her, but they did not agree.
A cash cow is naturally more useful if you hold it in your hands.
However, the idea was revived when their daughter grew up and ran away, and they fell into a family debt crisis.
They wanted to sell their daughter.
"Anyway, that girl is weird." The woman said with some disgust.
The police frowned: "Do you know that human trafficking is illegal?"
The woman shrugged. "What human trafficking? I'm just marrying her off."
It shouldn't be a problem to ask for some dowry when getting married, right?
The police looked at each other and were speechless.
The woman ignored the topic and continued, "Who knew that man was so vicious? Our Xiaoyong just bargained for a higher price, but he was beaten."
As he spoke, the other person started crying again.
“……”At this point, the police didn’t know what to say.
This family really deserves to be locked up.
Since something happened to their son, the family naturally focused all their attention on him and had no energy to care for their lost daughter.
To a certain extent, this also achieved the original goal of Ning Su and others.
However, the buyer who the woman mentioned who wanted to buy the little girl once again caught Ning Su's attention.
Although the little girl herself is an extremely smart girl, what is more valuable to the buyer is obviously her divination ability.
In other words, it is the blessing of the innate ability brought by the goldfish monster.
The other party wants to buy her, maybe he is looking for the goldfish monster.
Thinking of this, Ning Su did not give up this clue, but took Lu Cao with him to search the family's home.
"Dragon Lord?"
Lucao was very happy to be called by Ning Su to work, but when he was asked to smell whether there was any evil spirit, Lucao was embarrassed.
It's a clouded leopard, not a dog!
Of course, although Lucao complained, he still carefully sniffed from the door to the house, and then came out to look in the yard.
"There is a fishy smell." Lucao was a little confused.
The smell was indeed very faint, but because it had lived in the forest all year round, its sense of smell had not been polluted, so it was able to detect the clue.
"It's a monster." Ning Su said.
Moreover, Ning Su was not unfamiliar with the smell that Lu Cao described - the tiger demon he killed in the Grand Canyon also had a similar smell.
That is the smell of a monster doing evil and eating humans.
"It's quite interesting." Ning Su said.
It seems that with Qi being caught and the goldfish appearing, some monsters that had been hiding in the dark began to stir.
However, it didn't matter. Ning Su was not worried about the unknown challenges. He was not afraid that these monsters would not show up, but he was afraid that they would secretly do something behind the scenes.
As long as you show up, it means you have come to the territory of the demon bureau.
"This monster must be caught and cannot run around." Ning Su thought for a moment and made up his mind.
A demon that has killed people is no longer an ordinary demon. Its credibility has completely dropped to zero in Ning Su's eyes.
However, W City is so big, how easy is it to catch a monster?
"Don't worry, the Demon Bureau has a way." Facing Lu Cao's curiosity, Ning Su seemed calm.
After bringing the deer grass back to the Demon Bureau, Ning Su did not return to his office, but went upstairs and turned into a new office on the second floor.
"Information Security Assurance Department?"
What's this?
Ning Su did not answer Lucao's question, but just knocked on the door and pushed open the office door.
A human cub was sitting in the office, and because of his short height, he was swinging his legs while sitting on the chair.
"Master Ning!" The girl quickly jumped off the ground and stood up.
Whose child is this? Is he brought to work?
While Lu Cao was curious, Ning Su had already finished explaining the case: "Weiwei, I want to ask, with the help of the government affairs system, is there any way to identify or find these two monsters?"
The human cub pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "Currently, the download rate of the municipal government APP is less than 40%. The method you mentioned cannot be implemented for the time being."
"However, I can add a reward area and a communication area to the government affairs APP. It should be faster to find people through the little demons."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
The work was discussed quickly and the girl named Weiwei had already lowered her head and started working.
Question marks popped up one after another in Lucao's mind.
Looking at the human cub operating the computer in front of him with an unknown sense of power, and then thinking about the little demon cubs running around in the forest, he suddenly had a premonition that the demon world was about to end.
In order to find the two demons that caused the accident, the government affairs system of W City was urgently updated that afternoon, and the APP in the hands of the little demons was also synchronized with the new version.
"Hey, what is this?"
"Bounty area?"
At this moment, many little demons in W City were staring at their mobile phone screens curiously.
After a while, content appeared in the bounty area, which was also the first bounty information officially released by the Monster Bureau.
"We are looking for a criminal demon from another city. Here are the clues."
"If you find the whereabouts of the other party, you can upload it on the APP in time. Those who are adopted can get a series of prizes such as bonuses and gifts provided by the Monster Bureau. Active participants can also get lucky small gifts."
There are several pictures attached under the reward information.
In addition to the clues obtained from the police, there is also a collection of gifts photographed by the staff of the Monster Bureau.
From small things like rice tissues to big things like cash rewards, we have everything.
In addition, there are moonlight, spiritual herbs, little golden dragon pillow, etc.
"Wait, why is there this pillow?" Ning Su took a look and was stunned.
The staff of the Monster Bureau explained: "This is to motivate the monsters in the Golden Dragon Zoo."
Everyone knows that this group of monsters are rich monsters. They have everything they need and only care about things related to Lord Ning. Without this, it is probably impossible to command them.
Ning Su: “…Okay.”
The little demons were very supportive that the demon bureau could offer so many prizes.
The next day, some humans living in City W discovered that their pets had gone out early.
"Big Orange, where are you going? Why are you out playing so early in the morning?" The girl stayed up late to work overtime the night before, and the next day she saw her cat sneaking out.
The orange cat demon turned around and looked at his master with disappointment.
The economy is bad, and the owner has stopped paying him for several months. If he doesn't go out to work, the family might not be able to make ends meet.
It saw that the prizes given by the Monster Bureau included rice and noodles, and it could get them as long as it participated.
With this rice and flour, the family can probably survive for another half a month.
If you are lucky, it would be even better to get a little golden dragon pillow - you can sell it to those rich monsters and make at least a few thousand dollars.
With this wish in mind, the orange cat demon went out. Soon, it found that there were demons everywhere who wanted to find the criminal suspect just like it.
Since everyone had the same goal, the meeting was a little awkward.
"Isn't your master an internet celebrity? Why does he need you to work for him?"
"If I remember correctly, your master also works for a big factory."
The two cats smiled hypocritically and separated at the intersection.
What a joke! They were just bragging a little about their owner, what's wrong with that?
"My family, there are so many cats and dogs in our W City recently. Is it my illusion?"
After the Golden Dragon Zoo, W City made its debut on the Internet again. This time, it was for the cats and dogs that were running around everywhere.
"It's cold in the winter, and you've been abandoned?"
Now, it is approaching the Chinese New Year in W City, which is also the coldest time of the year.
"No, I think they seem to be looking for something."
At the same time, tourists who had taken the trouble to travel to Jinlong Zoo were regretfully informed that several popular animals would not be receiving visitors today.
"They're a little personal."
Personal matter?
What private matters do animals have?!
In short, in a weird and strange atmosphere, all the little monsters in the entire W city started to move. At the same time, in order to get rewards, the download rate of the Monster Bureau Government Affairs APP rose sharply.
This left Director Lu, who had tried every possible way to increase the download rate, speechless.
In such an atmosphere, the two demons who caused the accident had nowhere to escape. It seemed that in just a few days, countless pairs of eyes appeared around them, and as long as they showed any signs of abnormality, they would be discovered and captured.
This is an unprecedented pressure.
"Let's go. It's a very evil place in W City." Within two days, his companions could not bear the pressure anymore and decided to retreat.
The leading demon shook his head: "No, we need to wait and see."
Even if the task is not completed, more clues must be found, otherwise, they will be regarded as "useless".
"Robbery?"
These days, they roughly know where the little girl is.
"The formation is not easy to break through."
After thinking about it, I decided to take another look.
And this "looking again" soon became the ultimate reason for burying himself.
At the end of December, the police received a call. An auntie’s loud voice came from the other end of the line: “Police comrade, there are bad guys!”
When the police arrived, they found that the two people were surrounded by a group of cats and dogs, among which there was also a snake and a monkey.
police:"?"
Realizing something was wrong, the police took the aunt away. When they were leaving, a police officer curiously asked the other party why she called the police.
"Cats and dogs are so cute. If you are not liked by them, you are definitely not a good person."
Police officer: “…”
What an advanced theory.
And what the aunt said was indeed correct, the two demons were indeed the ones who caused the accident. However, when the other party arrived, they had already committed suicide.
Obviously, they all knew that the Demon Bureau would not tolerate any demon that had killed humans.
In this case, it would be better to die first as a sign of respect.
"What a pity." The police knew that the Monster Bureau had spent a lot of effort to capture the two monsters, but they didn't expect to get nothing in the end.
"It's not a pity." Ning Su said.
Without two demons that are afraid of blood, the living environment for humans and demons will be safer.
Even if they didn't get any further clues, they still fulfilled their responsibilities.
The two demons who caused the accident died, but the Demon Bureau still fulfilled its promise.
So, when the orange cat returned home with a 1,000 yuan prize, his owner burst into tears: "Woo woo woo, baby, you've suffered a lot following me."
The orange cat demon cried while being held by his owner, and his tears were wiped by his owner. He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
It's being strangled!
On this day, many urban legends appeared on the Internet.
"My cat/dog brought back food. Did it secretly have someone else outside without my knowledge..."
“My son, it seems like he’s really going to work to support me!
Amidst a burst of surprise, the goldfish demon who had fainted that day finally replenished his energy and slowly woke up.
When it woke up, it found that this time was particularly different.
Not only did he feel full of energy, but his soul, which was about to dissipate, became more solid.
"It's Master Ning who takes care of you every day." The little girl whispered.
But within a few days, the girl's complexion improved a lot and she seemed to be in a much better mood.
"My family's problems have also been resolved."
"Oh." The little goldfish was speechless.
So is it useless?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the little girl whisper, "Master, talk to Master Ning, he will help you."
The situation was stronger than the person. When he saw Ning Su again, the goldfish demon no longer talked nonsense or dragged his feet, but explained the reason for his injury.
Speaking of which, it is also related to the two demons that caused the accident.
In the early years, the goldfish demon took many orders and told fortunes everywhere. He accidentally told fortunes for the eldest of the two demons who caused the accident.
"That is to say..."
"Yes, I remember what it looks like and can draw it for you."
This was a completely unexpected gain, and Ning Su couldn't contain his joy.
"Then what about us dragons?"
After asking about work, it’s time to ask about your personal affairs.
"What dragon clan?"
"Are they still alive?" Ning Su asked.
The goldfish blinked, thinking he had heard it wrong: "Of course!"
If the dragon clan was destroyed, the ancient dragon demon kingdom would have collapsed long ago. Moreover, before losing its body, the goldfish had predicted once.
Those dragons are alive and well.
At this moment, Ning Su's eyes showed strong joy.
"Thanks!"
What are you thanking me for? The goldfish was puzzled.
But the next second, it took back its previous words.
"What kind of help do you need to reshape your body?"
The goldfish's eyes sparkled - who knows, you house monsters! How lucky is it that after it has eaten one rich fool, there is another rich fool!
Could it be that it is the legendary chosen demon?
