Chapter 24
Ji Yile bent over angrily and glared outside the door.
He heard the sounds of beating and, after some thought, decided that it was more important to continue with the task at hand.
In the room where sobbing was originally heard, the crying has stopped and now the only sound left is the sound of cautious moving.
Ji Yile walked lightly, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then approached the room.
The door was not closed, and there was a dim red light and a weak blue light inside.
People who don’t know would think this is red and blue light beauty treatment.
Gently pushing the door open, Ji Yile saw a person sitting on the ground in the corner, shivering constantly, hugging his arms, and struggling with his feet.
Probably feeling Ji Yile's gaze, the person in the corner stopped moving. With his head buried in his knees, Ji Yile heard a small whimper.
"Ahem!" Ji Yile was a little embarrassed. He found the switch and turned on the light.
The person in the corner had very messy long hair and bloodstains near his body.
More importantly, a magical ritual was set up in the center of the room.
Ji Yile paused, his face heavy.
He knew this ritual, called "God's Descent". The runes surrounding the outside of the ritual, combined with Zhong Qingli's race, were probably meant to pray to the god of the vampires.
Ji Yile bypassed the ceremony and approached the person in the corner.
"No, don't hit me..." the woman begged in pain.
Ji Yile squatted on the ground and forced the woman to look at him.
Perhaps because Ji Yile's behavior was particularly rude, the woman's body trembled even more violently.
Ji Yile recognized this woman; she was Zhong Qingli’s new girlfriend.
"He asked you to be a sacrifice?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then shook her head frantically.
"No, he just loves me too much."
Afterwards, the woman seemed to regain some courage and continued in a low voice, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have made him angry. My dear just wanted me to meet his family and get their consent."
The woman's eyes changed from fear to guilt. "I'm not good enough, not excellent enough, I can't stand it. My dear respects me so much, loves me so much..."
Listening to the woman's rambling, Ji Yile looked confused, "Huh?"
You have no brains?
What did Zhong Qingli do to your brain?
No, is this brainwashing or love-brained?
He has been single since birth, so he doesn’t really understand…
If the woman in front of him was not his current work partner, he would generally choose to respect and bless her.
But, it doesn’t seem appropriate to use the words “respect and bless Dafa” now, right?
He just wanted to help all the residents in his jurisdiction as much as possible.
"What did Zhong Qingli tell you?" Ji Yile asked tactfully. If he asked how much love potion she had been fed, he was worried that this woman would break down.
Hey! What's wrong with being in love?
The ones who are wrong are those who deceived her.
Ji Yile took a deep breath and looked at the woman calmly.
"Honey...honey...he's a very good person." Under Ji Yile's gentle gaze, the woman began to talk about her romantic experience with Zhong Qingli.
"Although we haven't been together for a long time, we have experienced a lot together."
"Hmm? Not long, how long is that?" Ji Yile asked. After all, it hasn't been that long since the last girlfriend.
The woman said shyly, "Only two or three days. But, in terms of time, we have already gone through many hours. If it were seconds and minutes..."
"Okay, next." Ji Yile stopped him expressionlessly.
The woman was choked, swallowed, and then moved on to the next topic.
"My dear often communicates with me online. I like music, so my dear often plays music for me. His voice is very attractive..."
As she spoke, the woman was no longer afraid. She smiled nostalgically, then clasped her hands together, rested her head on the back of her hands, and thought about the music at that time. When she was excited, she even started humming a song.
Ji Yile interrupted again ruthlessly, "Stop. He played it himself? Look at his house, are there any musical instruments?"
The woman looked at Ji Yile with some annoyance, but she didn't dare to say anything when she heard the constant beating outside. She just explained to Zhong Qingli in a low voice, "My dear, this is not the only place you live."
Ji Yile sneered, "Tell me a joke, a few days ago, his ex-girlfriend also lived here."
The woman said indifferently: "So what? Honey, you only love me now."
Ji Yile raised his index finger and shook it, "No, what I mean is that he changes lovers seamlessly, and doesn't even use another house to entertain you, because there is probably nothing in the other houses. If there are more and better places, he will take you to another place directly, so you won't notice the previous one, isn't that better?"
After a pause, Ji Yile continued, "Or rather, he doesn't have any other house at all."
The woman didn’t know if she understood or not, she continued, “So what.”
Ji Yile chuckled, "So what? It means that there is no way he can play for you with his instrument himself."
The woman frowned slightly, "But..."
Ji Yile continued: "So, who did he find to fool you on his behalf? Or, what video did he download from the Internet to deceive you?"
Seeing the woman relax a little, he said, "Instead of looking for a cheating and domestic violence ghost, why not use your brain to think about who the ghost you like is who understands music like you and can play songs for you."
The woman's eyes flickered, and Ji Yile changed the subject, "Okay, you take your time to think about this matter. Now we have to do more important things."
The woman stared at Ji Yile blankly, not understanding why this man suddenly became so serious and looked at her with a stern face.
Ji Yile said seriously: "You should know that I am a staff member of the General Affairs Department."
The woman nodded, and Ji Yile was satisfied. "That's good to know. We are currently conducting a census. As residents of Area A, you are obliged to cooperate with our work. Do you know this?"
The woman nodded again, and Ji Yile continued, "Then, after I handed the form to Zhong Qingli, why didn't you cooperate with my work and fill out the form carefully and quickly?"
The woman immediately shook her head. “No, I didn’t. I really don’t know!”
Ji Yile said with understanding: "So, it was Zhong Qingli who concealed this matter from you for personal reasons, so that you couldn't cooperate with the census?"
The woman was a little entangled, and Ji Yile said indifferently, "I hope you will think it over before answering. After all, it is illegal to not cooperate with the work. As staff, we have the right to deal with residents who violate the law."
The woman shuddered again and said tearfully, "I really don't know. It was all because of the kiss. Oh no, it was because Zhong Qingli didn't tell me, so I couldn't fill out the form."
She excitedly put her hands on Ji Yile's arms and shook them vigorously, "Please believe me, I am a good resident."
The memory of the woman's death awakened her. The A-area general department has always been barbaric and unreasonable. In order to complete the task, they usually choose to use any means, which is even weirder than weird.
The comprehensive department staff member in front of me is a newcomer, but although he is a newcomer, he is more rude, more barbaric, and more unreasonable than the previous staff!
She gradually recalled the discussion about him on the forum, and suddenly felt that boyfriends and such were not very important. As long as she was not punished, anyone could be punished.
