Chapter 31: The first meeting between Phoenix and Bluebird at the press conference...

Reiki Resurrection Year 1, March 17th 9:25, press conference.

Zhang Xuan was led by the staff and sat down next to Ning Changkong who was also waiting.

Su Kunxiang, Ning Changkong and she all came to attend the press conference where the Alien Bureau officially introduced the demon race to humans.

In fact, it doesn't need three people to introduce the basic situation of the Soul Guardian Department and report the current results of the evil spirit investigation.

The main reason was that the name Ning Changkong was too mysterious and too famous on the Chinese Internet. Zhang Xuan would be mainly responsible for appearing in front of the human media. The director... the director attended to show formality.

The furry tiger tail tapped the sofa restlessly. She was not used to showing her half-human, half-beast form in the real world.

Director Su looked the same. The human staff were putting makeup on him, but he didn't know where to put his big fluffy tail.

As for Ning Changkong...she quietly turned her head to look.

Because human clothes make it inconvenient for bird demons to show their wings and tail feathers, they usually only show their ear feathers.

However, Mingqi-kun always maintains a perfect human body, and his ears also have human outlines.

Really, the feathers of a phoenix must be very beautiful. Zhang Xuan was a little lost in thought. But humans have never even seen Mingqi-kun's face, at least I can appreciate it when I'm at work, hehe.

"I heard," Ning Changkong suddenly turned his head and whispered, "You were the one who told them that they could find me and let me take off my mask."

Originally, the person in charge of publicity for the Alien Department did not intend to chat with Director Ning about the mask, but Zhang Xuan accepted the invitations of various fans in the Alien Department and kept promoting how conscientious and good-tempered Deputy Director Ning was when he was working at the Yuling Department...

Du Yihe, the first person to meet Ning Changkong, was kicked out like this, and had to bite the bullet to discuss the matter with him.

Zhang Xuan's scalp tingled. When he was struggling between sliding on his knees to apologize and defending himself, a hint of blue appeared in front of his eyes.

"Feng Qingwu's child?" A female voice as clear as a vibrating jade.

Zhang Xuan's eyes were focused on the gorgeous green dress.

You can tell it's Aoto's outfit at first glance. She glanced at Mingqi-kun who had changed out of his black and red outfit and was now wearing the Yulingsi uniform.

Feng Huang sat up straighter on the sofa: "Don't address my father by his first name, Miss Chu."

The noise in the preparation room suddenly seemed to die down, and everyone's attention was focused here.

"Also, what's the condition of your clothes?" Ning Changkong added in his mind.

Chu Qingge snorted in dissatisfaction and said slowly, "According to the generation, it would be more polite to call me Sister Qingge, right?"

You have to dress in an exaggerated and inhuman way, and then do marketing and self-media like humans, to have an impact. What do you know?

Ning Changkong pursed his lips and turned his head away, looking as if he didn't want to pay attention to her.

This was a well-planned play. When the Bluebird and the Phoenix meet, they have to talk to each other. If they don't talk to each other at all, it will only arouse suspicion.

A few sentences are indirectly pulled in, one is to imply that both of them are descendants of the phoenix and blue bird of the mythical age, so that they can play dumb when asked about the mythical age later, and the other is to enhance credibility by giving information.

The premise for this method to enhance credibility is that the identity of the Phoenix has been firmly recognized by the Hundred Birds Clan, and only then can the identity of the Blue Bird be recognized through the Phoenix's mouth.

But...

Chu Qingge walked over to Jiang Yunxiao who was putting on makeup, and found an empty dressing chair to sit down: "You have such dark circles under your eyes, Boss Jiang."

After teasing Ning Changkong, she felt in a good mood and started to speak in his joking tone.

Jiang Yunxiao, the most famous hybrid between the human and demon worlds, of course had to attend this event as a walking symbol of peace.

Jiang Yunxiao glanced at Ning Changkong, then looked back at her, his eyes changing again and again.

When Ning Changkong first became famous on the Chinese Internet, Jiang Yunxiao was worried about Chu Qingge.

It was probably because he was guilty of being a thief. Even if there was still controversy about which divine bird Ning Changkong was, no matter how Jiang Yunxiao looked at him, he felt that this person was the phoenix bird. After the Hundred Birds Clan issued the notice, he was completely worried.

What happened? Where did the fox take advantage of the tiger's might?

Are you brave enough to let a fake blue bird dance in front of a real phoenix? Or, with your character, can you be a divine bird?

...Or, both of you are fake, and you have discussed it beforehand?

Jiang Yunxiao collected her thoughts, but remained expressionless: "I'm busy with work, Miss."

How could they not be busy? The online development of the "Skynet" system and the offline land purchase and recruitment were carried out simultaneously; the R&D department of Lingshi Preparation was working around the clock, vowing to come up with the first machine design before the factory completed the land purchase and recruitment.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit people now, Jiang Yunxiao thought. Once the spiritual energy was revived, the employment channels for practitioners suddenly became much richer, and the strength of the recruitment of people by the Foreign Affairs Bureau was also greatly increased.

Even though Tiangong Technology is already considered a very worldly and modern place to work, there are still many graduates who are ready to start their own businesses and make a name for themselves in these chaotic times.

March, what a great March. Jiang Yunxiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, but he suppressed it only after being reminded by the makeup artist who was applying concealer.

Before the revival of spiritual energy, the isolated cultivation world could not meet the needs of Tiangong Technology, let alone Chu Qingge's ambitions.

It means taking the entire earth as the gambling table and the future of the world as the bet, and only then is it worthy of the name "Tiangong".

Well, I am indeed a little tired. Jiang Yunxiao looked in the mirror and saw the dark circles and eye bags that the makeup artist had tried so hard to cover up.

The first year of the spiritual energy recovery, March 17th, 10:39, at the foot of Penglai Mountain.

Xuanwu, who had transformed into a human form, operated the phone inexperiencedly.

Little Phoenix was busy with work, and when she came to see him, she was usually taking a break from her work, or doing something bad during her free time, such as forcing him to eat leftovers.

Xuanwu ate happily at first. After all, ever since the Hundred Birds knew that their young master loved sweets, they had found ways to make the medicinal food and snacks sweet and delicious.

Sometimes it is even too sweet. Chu Qingge once complained about this. If Ning Changkong was not a patient who was more troubled by hypoglycemia, this way of eating would sooner or later cause high blood sugar in a normal person.

Afterwards, after being scolded by Bai Xian who came after him, Xuanwu no longer dared to be Mingqi's food trash can.

But Little Phoenix is ​​still keen on bringing him all kinds of things, such as human gadgets and mobile phones.

The gift was very thoughtful. Not only a mobile phone, but also several recordings of popular science lectures on social common sense and mobile phone knowledge. What was the latest one about... social media?

I don't know why the end of that recording was cut off. Xuanwu was quite curious about this topic.

He heard from Little Phoenix that there would be a meeting today to introduce the demon race to humans. It seemed that it could be viewed on some social media. He spent a lot of effort typing and searching, and finally found the official media's live broadcast room.

Alas, is there no one who thinks mobile phones are difficult to use?

Xuanwu is a combination of a turtle and a snake. Between the turtle and the snake, which one is better at typing on a narrow touch screen?

By the time Xuanwu entered, the press conference had already started for some time. The masked Little Phoenix was reporting the investigation report on the source of the evil spirit.

Xuanwu listened quietly as he talked about the Qianshi Bank, the spiritual stone that contained evil spirits, the kidnapping on the night of the Lantern Festival, and the night raid on the treasure house.

Talk about "Li".

Xuanwu chewed on this word, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable waves.

How could he not know that Little Phoenix took the trouble to come to him and give him this phone just to arouse his last curiosity and concern about the world.

So that he can tell the truth about the night of the spiritual resurrection.

Xuanwu's heart is filled with mixed flavors.

He had suffered a loss in this matter a thousand years ago, and was then imprisoned under Mount Penglai for a thousand years...

Don't ever, ever fall in love with it again.

The first year of the spiritual energy recovery, March 17th, 11:27, Longyuan Academy.

Yan Xiaoling swallowed the rice in her mouth and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"The press conference of the Foreign Affairs Bureau." Yan Yian sat opposite her, staring at the screen of her mobile phone intently, taking a few screenshots from time to time, and her chopsticks were still.

"The one that introduces the demon race?" Yan Xiaoling said, "Oh!" and took two bites of food. "It's too long. I'm going to go back and read the text version."

The security in Penglai and the modern world was not good some time ago, and Longyuan Academy imposed a curfew, which has not been lifted yet. It was inconvenient for Yan's father and mother, two ordinary people, to come to Penglai, so they asked their little sister Yan Yian to deliver something to their daughter.

The two of them are having lunch in the cafeteria at this moment.

"It's mainly because two of my friends are going to give speeches, so I'll take some screenshots of the interesting comments and send them to them." Yan Yian laughed twice, and finally moved his hands to stuff food into his mouth, "Do you want to see it?"

"Your two partner friends? Sure, let me see."

Yan Xiaoling walked over and looked at her aunt's phone. On the screen, a beautiful woman in a green dress was smiling and introducing the overview of spiritual products and the achievements of Tiangong Technology.

Yan Xiaoling tilted her head and asked, "Is this the legendary Blue Bird?"

Chu Qingge is a low-key person... and a low-key person. Apart from the seminar at Longyuan Academy, he has basically never appeared in public, and there are only a few photos of him circulating.

But if it were her, Yan Xiaoling thought, she would not dare to take and spread photos of the divine bird.

I really admire those ordinary people who chased Ning Changkong, who was beating up monsters, with their guns and cannons, and filmed the video while shouting at him to take off his mask. Is this what ignorance is fearless?

Yan Yian smiled and said, "I don't know if it was the Bluebird, the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, but it was definitely the Bluebird who started the business with your aunt."

Yan Xiaoling stared closely at the calm woman on the screen and sighed, "I never thought that Shenshou would talk about technological innovation on a live broadcast. It feels... so disconnected."

"When we really get along, it's just like that." Yan Yian shrugged and said casually, "I've been worrying about how to manage my social media accounts these days. Before that, I was reading online novels."

Yan Xiaoling suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Is it the package I accidentally opened?"

"Ah?" Yan Yian was stunned. "That's right, she asked me to collect it... But I didn't actually plan to say it. How did you associate it with that?"

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't tell anyone, Lingling, I asked you to keep it a secret."

Just as Yan Yian was mumbling about how he was going to explain this to others, Yan Xiaoling felt a surge of shock in her heart.

She did not see the specific date sent by the courier at the time, but since courier delivery was inconvenient during the Chinese New Year, it was specified that it would be delivered before the New Year.

After she found this book, she originally just wanted to read two chapters to confirm whether it was the book written by Lin Jinsong in her vague memory.

The result seemed to be out of control. Not only did she pay for the electronic subscription, she also planned to buy a physical copy to support her classmate Xiaolin.

I checked and found that the physical book sales have not officially started yet. They are planned to be released after the Chinese New Year. Even after the Chinese New Year, due to the chaos of the Reiki Revival, it has not been released until now.

Yan Yian didn't say anything, so she naturally assumed that this was a sample book sent by the publishing house to Lin Jinsong, and her aunt received it for her junior brother.

Yan Xiaoling held her aunt's hand, trying to calm herself down, and casually asked, "Hey, I accidentally opened the book, and no one said anything, did they?"

"She didn't say anything," Yan Yian blinked in confusion, "I gave it to her on my way to work, and she accepted it, and that was the end of it."

At work. Yan Xiaoling narrowed her eyes.

The aunt felt deeply guilty about Lin Jinsong's death because it was after Zuo and Yue entrusted a group of children to her that Lin Jinsong died.

Yan Yian returned to work in early March after completely recovering from the launch of Tiangong Technology's Lingshi preparation project.

In early March when Lin Jinsong was already declared “dead”, did you accept his author sample book?

At the press conference, Chu Qingge paused and Ning Changkong lowered his head even lower and moved his hands in front of him towards his abdomen.

How did this accident happen? How did the suspicion level rise?

I feel annoyed just thinking about how to cover up the lie. Ouch, my stomach hurts.
