Chapter 27 Chapter 27
◎Reexamination (Part 1)◎
"Are you focusing on the wrong thing?" Lian Jiu wondered. "I'm saying you need to take care of your health."
Si Lan stared at the ice cream that was snatched away, seeming to be struggling.
After all, the God has never been called fat.
This is simply outrageous.
Lian Jiu couldn't see the turmoil in his heart, and thought he was sad because his snacks were taken away. Then he thought that he had already bought the ice cream and it had been eaten, so he definitely wouldn't eat it. Yuan Qing didn't care, because he knew it was Si Lan's leftovers and wouldn't even touch it.
For various reasons, the ice cream was returned: "I'll return it to you this time, but I won't do that next time."
Si Lan, who used to be eager to stuff all the snacks in one gulp, didn't take them so quickly this time. He said with a sullen face, "No more."
Then he sucked in his stomach and said, "Let's go."
Lian Jiu: "But we can't waste it. It's eight dollars, and we still have six left."
"......?" Si Lan was incredulous. "My meat is not worth as much as that six yuan?"
oh!
Lian Jiu realized what was happening and laughed, "Do you mind me saying you're fat? No, not really. I mean you're much healthier."
"What's the difference?" Si Lan said flatly, "Aren't they all plump?"
"Of course there's a difference. Being as skinny as a bamboo pole doesn't look good. You're fine the way you are now." Lian Jiu handed over the remaining ice cream. "Really? One is fine. If you don't like it, I'll buy you a jump rope later. You can exercise after dinner."
She couldn't help laughing: "Didn't I always watch you eat? I won't let you get too much nutrition."
Si Lan then reluctantly took the ice cream back, fearing that she would change her mind, and finished it in a few bites.
In the afternoon, I have to go to the Municipal Bureau to apply for a demon ID card for the new Bifang, and get his salary card.
Lian Jiuting admires these people's work efficiency. In the past, applying for funding required a long wait, and there was no guarantee of receiving any news.
Now that these new demon gods have appeared, these people are very active and can't wait to tie Bifang up to fulfill the previous contract.
But she didn't know that her current enthusiasm was purely due to what Lian Jiu had said before.
You are free to do whatever you want outside.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary monster, but if it was a demon god, no one would dare to take the risk.
Arriving at the Municipal Bureau, Lian Jiu subconsciously opened the door and went in. He pushed it, but it didn't budge.
She was puzzled for a moment, turned the door handle, but still didn't push it.
"Director Long?" Lian Jiu asked in confusion, "Are you there?"
"Here!" Long answered from inside. "Come here first. I won't do anything to you. At least let our colleagues come in first."
The voice seemed very helpless.
Huh? Is there someone else in there?
A young man's voice rang out from behind a nearby door, sounding a little trembling: "Wait, wait a minute, let me find a place."
Lian Jiu and the others waited at the door for two minutes in confusion before Long Ying opened the door from the inside: "Come in first."
When I walked in, there was a person standing in the corner, pulling the curtain to cover half of his body, leaving only half of his face exposed.
Yuan Qing walked over curiously: "Who is this?"
"Wait a minute!"
Long Ying and the person behind the curtain spoke at the same time.
Yuan Qing's footsteps stopped abruptly in mid-air: "Huh?"
"This is..." Long Ying's expression was quite indescribable. "The person in charge who just came to contact us from the human world, what's your name?"
The man behind the curtain stammered, "Zhang, Zhang Chi."
"Oh yes, Zhang Chi."
Yuan Qing retracted his foot: "What's the situation now? Why are you so scared? Did you hit him?"
Long Ying glared, feeling that his reputation was ruined: "I'm not Si Lan!"
Si Lan, who was inexplicably cueed, rolled his eyes speechlessly and walked to the sofa and sat down.
"What's going on?" Long Ying also pulled a stool and sat down, patting his forehead. "I just heard that the person in charge was here, so I called him over to have a chat to avoid the previous situation. But he's like this, his butt hasn't even touched the stool."
Lian Jiu: "So this is..."
Long Ying sighed deeply: "He is afraid of monsters."
“…”
The people and monsters in the office were speechless.
If you're afraid of demons, why are you still doing this job? You can't have been tricked into coming here!
Yuan Qing laughed heartily, the thought of playing a prank coming to him. He walked a few steps to the other side of the curtain and said, "Are you afraid of monsters? Which kind of monsters? Or all kinds? Are you afraid of me?"
As he spoke, he transformed into the one-legged, blue-bodied Bifang divine bird.
Zhang Chi, who was hiding behind the curtains, almost stopped breathing. His face was pale and he stammered, "We...use our bodies to speak, to speak."
"Why are you talking like a little turtle?" Yuan Qing circled around the man twice. "Humans are just like that, tsk."
Long Ying called out softly, "Yuan Qing."
Yuan Qing said "Oh" and moved back to Si Lan's side.
"Come here." Long Ying waved at Zhang Chi, "We really just want to chat, nothing else."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and pointed at Lian Jiu: "Well, this person is no different from you ordinary people, but we have always gotten along well."
Lian Jiu smiled and thought to himself: Of course there is no difference, I am a human being.
Zhang Chi took a careful look, then paused in fear. "Who are you?"
"I'm Renjiu, the principal of the Youkai Kindergarten. Hello."
"You are the headmaster." Zhang Chi knew that a powerful monster had come to the demon world, otherwise those two people would not have been dealt with before, but...
He looked at Lian Jiu again and didn't see any demonic aura on this person. He was truly a human.
There was one more person in the office, and he was familiar with the demon world. Zhang Chi, who had been tense all the time, relaxed a little. He slowly lowered the curtains, moved out from the corner step by step, and then quietly moved to Lian Jiu's side.
Long Ying: "Now we can talk properly."
"...Yeah." Zhang Chi still looked very nervous. He sat upright and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "My name is Zhang Chi. I'm the new transvestite liaison officer. The higher-ups take what happened before very seriously. I'm very sorry. It won't happen again."
Yuan Qing had already heard about this from Pixiu, and the bird's beak chirped: "Can you promise?"
Zhang Chi couldn't face the monster's face and closed his eyes: "As long as I am here, it will be fine."
Lian looked at him for a long time and his breathing became difficult. He turned around and poured him a glass of water, then said, "Yuan Qing, you should change back to the human world."
Yuan Qing originally just wanted to give this newcomer a warning so that he wouldn't have any evil ideas like the previous ones. Now that his goal has been achieved, he can change back to normal.
Zhang Chi took a sip of water and looked at Lian Jiu gratefully.
Lian Jiu: "If you are so afraid of monsters, why did I let you come here?"
Zhang Chi's face turned dejected when he mentioned this. He didn't dare to face other monsters. He just looked at the human headmaster: "It's not my intention to come here, but there's no other way. I have a special physique."
The other demon gods all looked over.
"I..." Zhang Chi paused, "My family has demon blood, so I can sense demonic energy. It was because of this that I discovered the existence of demons before."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing immediately rolled up his sleeves and said grimly, "So it's you, kid."
Zhang Chi immediately shrank his neck.
When monsters first appeared in the world and had no knowledge of the human world, they could enter and leave the human world freely.
Later, it caused some troubles to the human world, and was discovered and reported by Zhang Chi in time, which led to the incident of humans and demons signing a contract. However, Zhang Chi's household registration was not here, and he had other jobs. Most importantly, he was really afraid of monsters, so the connection was settled in the city.
Who would have thought that these people in the city had bad intentions.
The higher-ups felt that a reliable person had to be assigned to handle this matter, so Zhang Chi, who had special skills, was transferred here.
But he was really scared!
Yuan Qing: "If it weren't for you, we would be roaming freely now. Because of you, all the monsters are locked up in the mountains."
Zhang Chi stiffened his neck immediately: "You can't say that. We are all doing this for the harmony between humans and demons."
"You, you know nothing about human society. If you don't learn, not only will the human world be in chaos, but the demon world will be in chaos too."
Yuan Qing sneered: "You are not afraid now."
Zhang Chi shrank back to Lian Jiu's side and said weakly, "I'll tell you the truth."
"Human-demon hybrid..." Long Ying murmured, "No ordinary human-demon hybrid can have your talent of seeing through demonic energy."
"I don't know." Zhang Chi said, "It must have happened a long, long time ago."
Several demon gods looked at each other and frowned.
It is precisely because it happened a long time ago that it deserves attention.
Generally, when little demons mate with humans and have children, the demonic power of their offspring will be weakened. After being passed down from generation to generation, the final descendants will either become completely human or completely become animals.
But this Zhang Chi not only did not turn into an animal, but after being weakened for so many generations, he still retained his demonic power.
From this we can see that if we trace back his family's history, one of the parents of the first generation must have been a very powerful demon.
It can even only be a demon god.
But the demon gods all have their own bottom line, just like Long Ying and others. Although they live in the human world, they will never provoke people in the human world, let alone have children with these people.
There aren't many demon gods, and except for those that are sealed, they basically all know each other.
Even when Lian Jiu first appeared, several demon gods were very confused.
First, she is not an ordinary person, but no demon god has any impression of her. In the end, no result can be found, so they can only temporarily recognize her as someone who really lives in seclusion. Later, as her spiritual energy gradually declined, she also fell asleep.
Of course, these conclusions are all speculations, because Lian Jiu's appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person. If Long Ying had not seen her appear out of thin air with his own eyes, he would not have regarded her as a demon god.
And Si Lan, who was the first to discover Lian Jiu, didn't say anything.
So everyone just thought that Renjiu, who was not injured in the battle and was extremely powerful, woke up earlier.
After all, none of the demon gods I know have left offspring with humans.
Noticing the silence in the air, Zhang Chi, who couldn't understand the twists and turns between the demon gods, asked Lian Jiu carefully, "What's wrong?"
Lian Jiu, also an ordinary person, shook his head: "I don't know."
Long Ying looked at Si Lan.
Among all the demon gods, Si Lan is the most special.
Listen to the will of heaven and convey the feelings of the people.
If those sealed bad seeds came out, he would definitely feel it.
But Si Lan just shook his head lightly.
Long Ying breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Nothing's wrong. Do your parents also have this special ability?"
"No." Zhang Chi looked a little aggrieved. "If they had, I wouldn't be so scared."
Lian Jiu asked, "Why do you feel scared when you can sense the demonic energy?"
"I don't know." Zhang Chi was bewildered. "I just felt scared subconsciously."
Lian Jiu felt a little sympathetic: "Maybe this is just a flaw that some gifted children have."
"Another demon god, but not a bad one." Yuan Qing laughed. "Could it be Director Lian Jiu's former offspring? After all, Director Lian Jiu is the only demon god we don't know."
Lien Jiu: "..."
After Yuan Qing finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was looking at him, their eyes cold and sharp. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Just kidding, just kidding. The atmosphere is so tense. Let me help to ease the tension."
Si Lan asked calmly, "Is it funny?"
"It's not funny!" Yuan Qing said righteously, "I won't do it again!"
Although Zhang Chi could sense demonic energy, the last time he encountered a demon was when he first discovered this ability. At that time, those demons were unruly, so he was naturally even more afraid.
But maybe it was because there was someone sitting next to him, or because these monsters were not as scary as he imagined, but he was not as panicked as before.
"Let's get back to the point," Long Ying said. "Since you're in charge now, I hope you'll be honest and transparent about everything going forward. You're also aware of the situation in our demon world, and there are still many areas and demands we need to negotiate with you about. We don't want the same thing to happen again this time, or we won't be so easy to talk to."
Speaking of business, Zhang Chi became more serious: "Don't worry, I know this very well."
He then promised, "I will follow up and supervise the development of your demon world in real time. Um... can I have a small request?"
"What do you want?"
"Hey, Director." Zhang Chi's face was full of anticipation. "If I really need to go to the demon world, can you please come with me?"
Beauty Radar Yuan Qing: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Chi spoke frankly: "I feel more at ease having someone to keep me company."
"I forgot to tell you." Si Lan, who had been sitting on the sofa without saying a word, suddenly said, "We in the demon world have bodyguards."
"Bodyguard?" Zhang Chi perked up. "He seems very safe. Who is he?"
Si Lan smiled slightly: "Me."
“…May I ask who you are?”
"Si Lan." Si Lan looked very peaceful. "If you come to the demon world, you can find me."
“…………”
Zhang Chi recalled the conversation between these demon gods when they first entered the room.
"Did you hit him?"
"Do you think I'm Si Lan?"
Very good, this bodyguard looks more dangerous than any other monster in the monster world.
Zhang Chi said silently: "Well, I still think that Director Lian Jiu should..."
"Director Lian Jiu usually has a lot of things to do," Si Lan said. "Are you sure you want to trouble her?"
Zhang Chi was a little annoyed: "Ah..."
"It's okay." Out of consideration for the demon world, Lian Jiu was very generous. "If you need me, you can contact me anytime. Please remember my WeChat and phone number."
"Okay, okay!"
Yuan Qing tutted his words twice: "That's great, I don't even have a phone."
Si Lan kicked him from behind.
"Fuck, Si Lan, what are you doing!"
"I'm not happy with you."
Zhang Chi shuddered, and Lian Jiu comforted him: "It's okay, they often do this, but they won't hit you."
"Right." Lian Jiu suddenly thought of another solution. "We're going to recruit people from the human world to work in the mountains soon. There will be more people in the mountains by then, so you don't have to be so scared. Besides, everyone is very good and kind. You'll know when you meet them."
Hearing that someone was going in, Zhang Chi was a little surprised: "Are you planning to recruit people?"
"Yes." Lian Jiu said, "National Day is coming soon, so if you can finish the re-examination before then, you can start work after National Day."
Zhang Chi: "Will those people accept it?"
"If we, the demon world, want to coexist with humans, this will happen sooner or later, no matter how early or late."
Zhang Chi felt a little ashamed by Lian Jiu's words. After all, he was too scared to see the monster just now. "I should learn from your experience. We can contact each other via WeChat when the time comes."
"good."
Yuan Qing was afraid of being kicked again, so he ran to sit next to Lian Jiu and said, "By the way, Principal, you said you needed my help with this matter. How can I help?"
"That is, you can interview those people for me."
"?"
"Oh, yes, there's Si Lan too."
-
On the day of the re-examination, all those who were notified were ready to go to the Municipal Bureau again, but they did not expect that the interview location would change again. It was in the Animal Theme Park, which was not only an amusement park, but also a large zoo.
However, the job of kindergarten teacher does have some connection with children, so the interviewees had no doubts and arrived at the designated location on time.
Then I saw a child holding a rabbit and Lian Jiu standing at the entrance of the theme park.
Today's principal was finally not in uniform, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief: "Hello, principal."
"Hello," Lian Jiu said, "Our re-examination is very simple. As you know, our kindergarten's theme is a monster kindergarten, and there are many small animals in the mountains. Children and animals are equally important, so we chose this place for the interview today."
Wei Jingxuan: "Then what should we do?"
Lian Jiu rubbed the head of the child beside him and said, "Take this child out for a day."
Bifang held the rabbit and waved sweetly: "Hello."
Everyone also greeted him: "Hello."
Lian Jiu observed for a while and found that there were nine people in total, and only five of them bent down to be at eye level with Bifang.
She secretly noted the observation points, smiled, and said, "Then go in first. Come, give me the little rabbit."
Yuan Qing immediately put on a stern face and shook his head: "I want to play with the little rabbit!"
Lian Jiu comforted him: "You have uncles and aunts to play with you today. Be obedient. There are many more interesting animals in it. Can the teacher keep the rabbit for you first?"
Yuan Qing thought about it for a moment, and the other teachers came forward and said softly, "Yes, we will take you to see other little animals. They are even cuter."
Lian Jiu took note of the people who spoke, and gave Yuan Qing a look without any expression, and the latter nodded reluctantly.
Lian Jiu stood there holding the rabbit, watching the interviewees lead Yuan Qing into the paradise, and whispered, "Can you hear me?"
The rabbit in my arms murmured, "Yeah."
"Okay." Lian Jiu smiled, "Then we'll go in too."
She looked down at Si Lan who had transformed into a rabbit: "So this is your true form. Just as cute as I thought."
Si Lan was silent for three seconds: "...Yeah."
The author has something to say:
Si Lan: If I turn into a lion, can I control this situation?
