128 Brother Qin, help me!
Combating pornography and illegal publications, eliminating violence and ensuring public safety, starts with each and every one of us.
Sunlight fell on the boy's pale face, casting faint shadows on his eyelashes, making him appear as serene as if he had been dead for a long time.
He didn't answer, and Qin Fu'an didn't press him further. He brewed him a pot of tea and sat down beside him to drink it himself.
It took Xie Zeyuan a full ten minutes to slowly wake up from that dead state.
He sat up from the chair, clutched his chest, and coughed lightly, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
Seeing his miserable state, Qin Fu'an frowned slightly, but still teased him with a light laugh: "It's a good thing you're not human, otherwise, I would be preparing a coffin for you right now."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zeyuan rolled her eyes gracefully.
He reached for his teacup and took a breath before whispering, trying not to aggravate his wound, "I was attacked by the game."
"A game?" Qin Fu'an paused in his tea-serving hand.
Xie Zeyuan sneered: "Yes, besides the game itself, who else could inflict such serious injuries on me?"
"What did you do?" Qin Fu'an's curiosity was piqued.
Xie Zeyuan: "...Cough, it's nothing, I just tried to capture the souls of seventy, eighty, or ninety strange creatures, wanting to bring them back to reality to study them and see if I can send them to drink Meng Po soup and go to hell or reincarnate in the animal realm."
"The game detected it and warned me, but I didn't listen."
Qin Fu'an: "..."
"So you can still breathe and talk? This game is really too lenient." He clicked his tongue in mockery.
Xie Zeyuan coughed again and then asked him, "Don't you want to know where these strange creatures came from? Don't you want to know what changes they will bring to this world? Don't you want to find a way to subdue and restrain them in advance?"
Qin Fu'an lowered his eyes and gently blew on the spirit tea floating on the clear tea. Hearing this, he glanced lightly at the ghost who was courting death and said in a calm voice, "No, I think you're not trying to find a way to restrict them, but rather to find a way to restrict Little Cloud. Am I right?"
Xie Zeyuan stared at Qin Fu'an for a few seconds with a pale face before gently curving her lips and saying softly, "How could that be? What's the difference between Mr. Qin's conjecture and framing someone out of thin air? We're teammates, after all. It's truly heartbreaking that you would misinterpret me like this."
“But you are a ghost.” Qin Fu’an raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently.
Xie Zeyuan sensed the crisis.
Just like in the game before, there is a crisis that wants to kill him.
But the great demon in front of him only exuded killing intent, but did not attack him.
Xie Zeyuan waited tensely for a moment before Qin Fu'an casually warned, "Whatever your purpose is, once you actually plot against Xiaoyunduo, that will be your death day."
After saying that, the cold and arrogant young man looked at him quietly and said calmly, "Even if Houtu doesn't come out, the underworld can't protect you."
Xie Zeyuan remained silent for a while before slowly forcing a smile and saying softly, "Mr. Qin, you are overthinking it. I had no such intention."
Even if it existed before, it will be temporarily dispelled under the dual warnings from the game and Qin Fu'an.
"That would be best," Qin Fu'an said noncommittally.
Sipping his spiritual tea, Xie Zeyuan lowered his eyes and remained silent.
But neither of them were ordinary people. After basking in the sun quietly for a while, Xie Zeyuan brought up Qin Fu'an's message in the game again.
"A corpse driver?"
Qin Fu'an nodded: "Yes, a traditional corpse driver, the talent awakened in the game should be corpse refining or driving corpses to her use."
"Then I think I know who you're talking about." Xie Zeyuan lay back down, lowered his eyelids, and slowly said, "There are only a few remaining lineages of corpse drivers in the world. The only one with women trained from a young age to inherit the profession is the Xi family. I saw the girl in their generation when I was locking the soul; she was only about thirteen years old at the time."
"Judging by the time, she should only be nineteen years old now, almost twenty."
Qin Fu'an hadn't expected such an unexpected gain—a squad leader who was only twenty years old…
"Still haven't graduated from university?"
"Hmm, I overheard the corpse-driving people from their branch discussing that their young lady is only a sophomore in college this year."
Qin Fu'an: "...No wonder."
No wonder her whole being, including her soul, exudes a clear and lively human energy.
If I were to enter the workforce, I doubt I'd be so lively and energetic.
As they were talking, Qin Fu'an's phone, which was lying to the side, suddenly lit up.
He picked it up and glanced at it; the next second, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
A friend request from a stranger, with the note: Brother Qin, help me!!!
Qin Fu'an sat up straight and quickly accepted the friend request.
The next second, a video call came in, urgent as if it were a matter of life and death.
Xie Yunhuai sensed something was wrong and sat up as well, standing behind Qin Fu'an to watch the video call together.
Qin Fu'an answered the call without hesitation.
The next second, a remarkably youthful face appeared on the phone screen. Unfortunately, the owner of this face was running and looking back in panic, shouting for help to Qin Fu'an: "Brother! Brother Qin! Help me! The corpse we brought out of the dungeon has gone mad!!!"
During the escape, Xi Ya didn't forget to adjust her phone camera to point at the corpse behind her, so that Qin Fu'an and Xie Yunhuai could vaguely see that something was wrong with the corpse while it was shaking.
Qin Fu'an felt that this scene was extremely familiar.
He took a deep breath and asked the girl on the other end of the phone who was being chased, "So can you tell me how you smuggled it out?"
Is this weird game riddled with holes? How can anyone sneak out with all sorts of random things?
"I...I don't know either!!!" Xi Ya cried, tears welling up in her eyes, and hurriedly explained, "I clearly remember not bringing it with me, I brought the corpses I usually use! But I don't know how it got in, I wanted to bring it back into the game, and it suddenly started chasing me like a madman!!"
"Location sent." Qin Fu'an stopped wasting words.
"Okay!"
Xi Ya fled for her life, casually tapping on her phone. In just three seconds, a location message appeared on Qin Fu'an's phone.
Just then, Xi Ya narrowly avoided the corpse's attack. While screaming in terror, "Heaven is going to kill me, Xi Ya Ya!" she urgently pleaded with Qin Fu'an, "We're too far away. You definitely can't get here in time. If you see me dead, please, Qin-ge, remember to come over immediately and delete all my browser search history and browsing history on my phone, for the sake of my brief day as team leader! Please, please!!"
Qin Fu'an ignored her, shared the location with Xie Zeyuan, and watched as the ghost slowly disappeared under the bright sun.
After Xie Zeyuan disappeared, Qin Fu'an asked Xi Ya with amusement, "Why don't you delete it now?"
Xi Ya retorted loudly, "No way!! I can still struggle a little longer. What if I survive? Then what I'll lose are all those precious links I've carefully selected day and night! The anime I follow, the food I eat, my daily sustenance—as long as I have a last breath left, I absolutely cannot delete them!!!"
Qin Fu'an: "..."
He lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, gesturing for Xiya, who was still running desperately, to look back.
Xi Ya braked suddenly and turned around abruptly.
An incredibly handsome young man was carrying a struggling zombie, looking up at her with a half-smile.
Xi Ya: "!!!"
"Thank you, thank you..."
"You're welcome." Xie Zeyuan pulled out the remaining soul from the corpse with his fingers, and with a thud, the corpse that had been chasing Xi Ya lay completely dead on the ground, as if it were dead.
Xi Ya finally stopped stuttering and spoke clearly and distinctly: "Thank you, Uncle!"
Xie Zeyuan: "..."
Qin Fu'an: "...Pfft, Uncle Xie?"
Xie Zeyuan gritted his teeth inwardly and stared at Xi Ya with a sinister look, saying, "Captain, let's be respectful to each generation. You don't need to be so polite. Just call me Xie Zeyuan."
Xie Zeyuan?
Xi Ya's clever mind immediately started working. She suddenly realized what she meant and quickly corrected herself: "Yuan Yuan!!"
Xie Zeyuan: "!"
Qin Fu'an tried his best to suppress his laughter, but his eyes and brows quickly filled with smiles. His green eyes gazed lightly at the swaying scenery on the screen in his hand, listening with a pleasant mood to this good show where only Xie Zeyuan was going to die.
This time, it wasn't a zombie being carried, but a duck.
"Why do you call him brother, but me... Yuan, Yuan?!" Xie Zeyuan grinned through gritted teeth.
Xi Ya shrank her neck timidly, like a little duck being dragged into boiling water to be plucked, and answered timidly, "Um... Brother Qin told me to call you that..."
Qin! Fu! An!
This demon was probably destined to be his nemesis from the moment it was born a thousand years ago!
Xie Zeyuan released the newly appointed squad leader from his grasp and stared at her expressionlessly: "Pack your things and come with me."
“…Huh?” Xi Ya stared at him blankly, not quite understanding.
"Come with me to meet up with that snake ancestor!" Xie Zeyuan said angrily.
"...Oh, wait a minute, I'll tidy up and see how to lie down so as not to scare my people." Xi Ya nodded hurriedly, and then searched for a suitable place to lie down in the mountains and forests, which were even more remote than the mass graves.
Xie Zeyuan watched her running around like a headless fly, and finally a vein bulged on his forehead. He grabbed this brainless idiot and said through gritted teeth, "Do you think I'm here to lock your soul? Change your clothes, pack your luggage, and take your ID card. I'll buy you a plane ticket right now!"
Xi Ya: "...Can't I just teleport there in a flash?"
She looked dejected and disappointed.
Xie Zeyuan: "..."
He understood.
Qin Fu'an didn't just find him a team leader, he found him another ancestor!
"You can do it yourself, I'm leaving." Xie Zeyuan turned around with a cold face.
"Yuanyuan, wait! Wait for me! I'll be right there! Right away!!" After saying this to him, Xiya quickly told Qin Fu'an, who was watching the commotion on video, "Brother Qin, I'll hang up now. I'll deal with this body first and then come find you with Yuanyuan!"
"Okay, Captain, be careful. If anything happens, just call Yuanyuan." Qin Fu'an replied with a smile and ended the incredibly fun video call.
While waiting for his two teammates, Qin Fu'an went to the Demon Management Bureau again.
He sat in Kong Yu's office, sipping the spiritual tea that Kong Yu was reluctant to drink. After looking up at the demon and making him feel uncomfortable, he reminded him, "Pay attention to the demons all over the country recently. If any of them die suddenly or become stronger, give me a list and their addresses."
"By the way, create a group chat. Once the number of demons exceeds ten, add me to it. Before that, tell them not to go to dangerous places alone. If they absolutely must go within three days, contact me immediately."
His words left Kong Yu completely bewildered. After scrutinizing Qin Fu'an for a while with suspicion, he leaned closer and whispered, "Tell me honestly, did you join some mysterious organization behind my back?"
Qin Fu'an was not surprised by his keen insight. He raised an eyebrow and readily admitted, "Yes, an organization that is always ready to kill. You either die, or you become like me now, stronger, and can crush me with a single finger."
Kong Yu curled his lip: "Come on, even if your strength doesn't increase, it wouldn't be difficult for you to crush me. Seriously though, have you guys encountered some insurmountable danger?"
His hand rested on Qin Fu'an's shoulder, and he said in a deep voice, "If something really happens, don't rush in on your own, you just-coming-of-age brat. Although our demon race is weak, we can still back you up if necessary. At worst, I can find the upper echelons of the human race, and they will definitely take it seriously."
"Combating pornography and illegal publications, eliminating violence and ensuring public safety, starts with you and me."
Qin Fu'an: "...No need."
So, did this peacock think it had been dragged into some kind of cult or pyramid scheme?
