Chapter 004 Chapter 4
"Are they really in that kind of relationship? They live together."
The middle-aged man took a breath and was shocked.
"Whether it is true or not, just go and ask. But they don't seem to like hearing other people ask questions. This kind of question is a bit of an invasion of privacy. They will be unhappy."
The young girl replied.
"That's easy. Just let others ask."
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"No wonder you are a leader. You are born to be a leader."
The young girl squinted her eyes and felt a pepper flying in.
The middle-aged man waved to a person next to him.
The person next to him came over.
"What do you want?"
the person asked.
"Can you go and ask for me if the new guy and the one next to him are a couple?"
The middle-aged man pointed at Li Qingshan and Muay Thai and said to the person next to him.
The man nodded and walked to Muay Thai.
As luck would have it, Muay Thai had just swallowed a mouthful of chili pepper and his face turned red from the spiciness. He looked around for water to drink, preferably water with ice cubes.
Before he found any water, the person asking the question walked up to him.
"What's the matter?"
Li Qingshan asked.
"Are you two a couple?"
the man asked.
Muay Thai turned his head and looked at him, very confused and asked: "What do you mean by a couple?"
"Usually, when you ask if they are a couple, you are asking if they are a couple."
The man said hesitantly.
"No."
Li Qingshan and Muay Thai said without hesitation.
"Why?"
the man asked.
"It's not like everyone in the world who has a good relationship is necessarily a couple. Do you have a bad heart?"
Muay Thai and Li Qingshan looked at him and asked.
He nodded, returned to the middle-aged man, and relayed the answer to the question he had just heard.
The middle-aged man was a little stunned.
"I said they would be unhappy."
The young girl smiled.
"Didn't they not quarrel or fight? How can this be considered unhappy? It's just like that."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said stubbornly.
"Maybe, if you ask another question, they will fight."
The young girl saw the other party's stubbornness, but did not point it out, just smiled.
"Do you eat eggplant?"
Thai Quan picked up a bunch of eggplants and asked Li Qingshan.
"No, thank you."
Li Qingshan shook his head.
"Then I won't be polite."
Thai Quan nodded and ate all the eggplants.
A plate of red lobsters was served.
Muay Thai put on gloves and peeled all the crayfish.
Li Qingshan picked one and tasted it.
Muay Thai took the remaining crayfish and fed it to him: "Eat it together."
Li Qingshan ate a part, shook his head and said: "I can't finish it."
"Then the rest are all mine, you can't snatch it from me."
Muay Thai said.
Li Qingshan nodded.
Muay Thai ate the whole plate in one breath.
After that, the two of them finished a bottle of beer.
Everyone had almost finished eating, so they prepared to go home.
On the way home, the sky was dark, and the pale stars were shining, like countless eyes peeking at the ground. The night wind blew, extremely cold, and the leaves made a rustling sound.
"It's strange. Do you feel that the surrounding environment is getting darker and darker, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. It seems that something is about to come out?"
The young girl in short sleeves was blown by the wind. She covered her arm and asked the people around her.
"It's not that something is about to come out, but that something has already come out. Look. Isn't there a white nine-tailed fox at the intersection? There is something in its mouth."
Li Qingshan answered.
After listening to him, everyone looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a nine-tailed white fox at the intersection ahead.
"Are there really nine-tailed foxes in the world? Could it be that we were drunk and mistook the white dog for a fox?"
"Even if one person is drunk, it doesn't mean that everyone is drunk. It's not necessarily that everyone sees the same thing after being drunk."
"This is really strange."
People were talking about it.
"I remember when we left the barbecue stall just now, there were many people on this road. Why did the others disappear? Why are we the only ones left? What happened?"
The young girl was shocked.
"There are so many of us, don't be afraid."
The middle-aged man comforted her.
The young girl nodded.
"What is that thing in the mouth of the nine-tailed fox? Why do I think it looks like a diamond?"
Li Qingshan asked, pulling Muay Thai.
"That's right, that thing not only looks like a diamond, but also looks very similar to the thing we are looking for. Maybe it is a fragment of the thing we are looking for."
Muay Thai frowned, looked at the nine-tailed white fox blocking the way, and nodded slowly.
"Whether it is what I am looking for or not, I want that thing."
Li Qingshan said.
"Let's try to snatch that thing."
Muay Thai said.
"Okay."
Li Qingshan nodded.
But the nine-tailed fox seemed to have heard their conversation. Before they could act, it raised its head and called out. Its body suddenly grew larger, and it seemed to cover the sky.
Its nine tails were like ropes, grabbing the people on the ground around it. The tails were swinging in the air, and people felt dizzy and disoriented.
The people caught by the tails panicked and shouted, "Help, help!"
Li Qingshan avoided the nine-tailed fox's tail, while attracting the fox's attention and moving flexibly.
Muay Thai was also not caught by the nine-tailed fox's tail. While the nine-tailed fox's attention was attracted by Li Qingshan, he rushed towards the nine-tailed fox.
The nine-tailed fox held the diamond fragments in its mouth and jumped in front of them. The people caught by its tail screamed in the air and had no time to care about anything else.
The people who were lucky enough not to be caught by the tail were terrified by the scene and fled in all directions on the ground.
Muay Thai was a little annoyed and punched over. Sparks flew in the air and the nine-tailed fox wailed as it was hit.
The huge body of the nine-tailed fox suddenly became smaller.
The people caught by the tail of the nine-tailed fox fell to the ground.
The people rolled on the ground and wailed.
The nine-tailed fox spat out the things in its mouth, limped into the darkness and ran away.
Li Qingshan wanted to pick up the diamond fragments that fell on the ground.
Muay Thai stopped him and said, "Let me do it."
Li Qingshan nodded.
The system reminded, "This is not what you are looking for. It's just a small incendiary device that looks like a diamond fragment."
Li Qingshan and Muay Thai looked at each other and fell silent.
"The attention level has increased to the point where you can open a new alias. In fact, you can use this opportunity to let Muay Thai go offline in public. It will be legitimate for the new alias to appear again."
The system said.
Li Qingshan hesitated.
"Under normal circumstances, an untrained soul can only control two bodies at most. If you open another alias, you will have three bodies. If there is a problem with the control, you will be exposed.
You should know that if this kind of thing is discovered, it will be a big problem."
The system said.
The surrounding space distorted.
Some people wearing uniform clothes and carrying weapons appeared.
"The people from the foundation are here. If you don't make a decision, it will be too late."
The system said.
Li Qingshan and Muay Thai looked at each other.
Muay Thai reached out and picked up the □□ that looked exactly like a diamond fragment.
The foundation, which had just appeared, saw Muay Thai's action and was horrified. They could not help but rush over and shout to him, "Don't touch that thing."
But when they were talking, Muay Thai had already picked up the thing, so there was no point in saying it.
Muay Thai closed his eyes and lay down.
Li Qingshan caught him and knelt on the ground.
"You should cry at this time. Everyone who ate at the barbecue stall with you tonight knows that you have a good relationship. At least you don't hate each other, so you can't help but shed tears."
The system reminded.
Li Qingshan closed his eyes and felt a subtle pain from his heart. Following this pain, he shed a few tears.
An Rand, a staff member of the foundation's field team, was the first to rush to Li Qingshan's side, squatted down, and checked Muay Thai's vital signs.
"He's not dead yet, he's probably just in a coma."
Ayn Rand was ecstatic and shouted.
"Hurry up and send him to the nearest hospital."
A man limped over and took a look and said.
"No, he has come into contact with a monster and is likely to be affected by it. He can't go to an ordinary hospital, it will affect other people. He must go to the special hospital set up by the foundation."
The person from the foundation's field team said.
"What exactly happened just now?"
The young girl came over and asked.
"You encountered a monster roaming in the city."
Ayn Rand answered.
"Why don't we know about it normally?"
The young girl asked.
"Some monsters will use their popularity among the crowd to increase their strength. It's better for ordinary people not to know. Knowing too much can easily cause panic.
The foundation will erase your memories later. You should just pretend that nothing happened tonight. This will also be good for you."
Ayn Rand said.
"If I want to remember what happened tonight, what do I need to do?"
Li Qingshan raised his head and asked.
"You have to join the foundation. And you can only join the abnormal management department of the foundation. Because you have come into contact with abnormal monsters. If you
want to join the foundation, you can never return to ordinary life."
Ayn Rand answered.
"What are the conditions for joining the abnormal management department of the foundation?"
Li Qingshan asked.
"After coming into contact with abnormal events, passing the foundation's test, and voluntarily joining the foundation."
Ayn Rand said.
"I want to join the foundation."
Li Qingshan said in a calm tone.
The young girl shuddered beside him.
It felt like listening to this voice speaking, like a very cool breeze blowing in the night and hitting you hard, and you couldn't hide from it, or like being wrapped in snow on a winter night, and you couldn't shake it off.
"Let's go to the hospital first,"
Ayn Rand said.
The Foundation's field team checked the surroundings and confirmed that the nine-tailed fox was not spying nearby. Everyone was sent to the Foundation's hospital.
Li Qingshan stayed by Muay Thai's bed, holding one of Muay Thai's hands, looking at him expressionlessly.
