Lu Xu came to the headquarters on the one hand to take on a new task, and on the other hand to help Ji Xiunian rescue Fan Zeng.
Before he could say anything, the minister went straight to the point and began to explain: "Hey, Xiao Lu, we made a mistake about Ji Xiunian before..."
Lu Xu didn't expect the minister to bring up Ji Xiunian on his own initiative, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? What happened to Ji Xiunian?"
The minister had a complicated look on his face, as if he had never expected this situation: "Actually, we should have thought of it earlier. They look so similar, but we didn't think about it that way at first..."
Lu Xu was confused and couldn't help but interrupt the minister's recollection: "No, leader, if you say you made a mistake, you should at least tell me what's wrong first."
The minister then came out of his state of deep emotion, Pulling Lu Xu, he said, "Didn't Ji Xiunian survive before? He's an ordinary human, so we must subconsciously suspect that he's a stowaway, right?"
Lu Xu knew this, after all, that was what he said when he took over the mission.
Now the minister suddenly said it was a misunderstanding, does that mean Ji Xiunian is not a stowaway at all?
As if to confirm his words, within two seconds of this thought coming up, the minister had already spoken, "Who knows that he is not a stowaway at all, but was born with the blood of the god of death..."
"Blood of the god of death?" Lu Xu was dumbfounded, and suddenly thought of Ji Xiunian's mother.
The jade pendant she gave was obviously to seal the death energy in Ji Xiunian's body, and to be able to do this, it must be necessary to have the guidance of an expert.
Seeing that Lu Xu had the answer in his mind, the minister did not keep him in suspense and said directly: "Yes, his mother is the god of death. Tell me how this happened, who could have thought of it."
Lu Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Can the god of death have children?"
"Of course the god of death can't, but she didn't later..."
The god of death is considered a public official in the underworld. Other gods and monsters are immortal, but the god of death is a long sleep. Things will turn to
the opposite extreme, and the extreme of death is eternal life.
The gods of death are responsible for picking up and dropping off the deceased during their tenure. As long as there are no major mistakes or errors, then this career is long-term and stable.
But there are so many gods of death, there will always be some who have developed ties with humans and then developed feelings.
According to the minister, Ji Xiunian's mother is like this.
Originally, she was going to collect heads, but after spending some time together, she fell in love with her client.
Not only did they get together despite all odds, they even had a child, Ji Xiunian.
Grim Reaper is associated with death, so naturally, there is death everywhere in life.
Even the child she gave birth to was full of death. In order to avoid being discovered by the agency at the time, Ji Xiunian's mother tried to suppress the death in him. So much so that 27 years later, no one knew that she had left a child.
The minister likes to use ups and downs when telling stories. It sounds like he is telling a story. Lu Xu shrugged, not knowing how credible it is.
"I really didn't lie to you. Although it violated the rules, their love story is just like a novel."
Lu Xu didn't care much about Ji Xiunian's parents' love, but was just curious about where such a death god was now: "So, is she really dead? Or is there another hidden story?"
But judging from the fact that she fell in love with humans, got married and had children, Ji Xiunian's mother was definitely not a love-brained naive person.
If there was no accident, she would never let her son grow up alone.
The minister hadn't mentioned this accident for a long time. If Lu Xu hadn't asked him, he would rather not recall it: "The incident happened quite suddenly, and the couple's souls have not been found yet. This matter has been an unsolved case because there is no clue. It's also because Zhong Huiqing died early that no one knew he had a son..."
The minister began to sigh when he mentioned Ji Xiunian's mother, and it was obvious that he had complicated thoughts.
Lu Xu just felt strange and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, why do I feel that your attitude towards Ji Xiunian's mother is different. Is there some unknown story behind it?"
The director waved his hands again and again: "What story, we didn't have any before. Hey, Hui Qing is actually in the same class as me. She is beautiful and has the best performance. She has always been the face of our Death God Department. Many departments like her, but she has her own ideas. If she hadn't been blinded by a human in the middle, she would probably be left with almost no one now."
"So strong." Lu Xu nodded, and became more and more curious about this senior whom he had never met.
"Hey, hey, hey, I almost forgot the main thing after talking so much." The director slapped his head and said to Lu Xu, "Your new colleague has been selected. Who do you think it will be?"
So much has been laid out before, and the hints are already quite obvious.
Lu Xu is not stupid, but he thinks the development of things is a bit unbelievable: "You give Ji Xiunian to me?"
"Yes, this is a decision just made by the higher-ups. Ji Xiunian meets our selection criteria in terms of family relationship and personal image. It can be said that it is destined." The director looked serious, "He is a natural-born god of death, and he can't change this in his lifetime."
As he was speaking, a call came from the Southwest God of Death Department.
"Minister, there is something I must tell you..."
Lu Xu listened to Peng Hanfei's long speech, describing Ji Xiunian as a stowaway who despised all order, and Lu Xu was in cahoots with him. Such dereliction of duty must be severely punished.
"Minister, I am really not exaggerating. Ji Xiunian is full of death aura. He won't live long and is still causing trouble. Lu Xu is still protecting him. I suspect there is some secret between the two of them, and maybe they have even reached some kind of agreement..."
Peng Hanfei spoke very logically. He didn't know how many times he had rehearsed it before he complained until now.
The minister finally understood what he meant and wanted to say that it was a small matter. However, Peng Hanfei still insisted on investigating the relationship between the two.
Seeing that he was still nagging, the minister couldn't help but look at Lu Xu and let him speak directly: "Come on, Lu Xu, tell Xiao Peng what your relationship with Ji Xiunian is."
"Lu Xu is here too?" Peng Hanfei didn't expect that he was reporting in front of the person concerned, and his face was somewhat embarrassed.
After hearing the minister's tone, he always felt that something seemed a little wrong.
Could it be that Lu Xu was guilty and went to do the minister's work, and even successfully got away with it? The more
Peng Hanfei thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but they were not right in this matter. Ji Xiunian was just an ordinary person, but he interfered with life and death. Lu Xu couldn't save him just based on this point.
Peng Hanfei was thinking randomly, and then he heard Lu Xu answering: "We are colleagues."
Colleagues?
Impossible!
Peng Hanfei just thought Lu Xu was lying. Ji Xiunian was just an ordinary person who was still alive. How could he suddenly become the god of death?
However, facing Lu Xu's words, the minister was very calm, as if he agreed with his words.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Peng Hanfei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the minister: "Okay, Xiao Peng, Xiunian is indeed a new colleague. But you, focus on your work, don't always stare at others, isn't that tiring..."
