…
Crack!
The ice shattered, and Li Xinghe and Cha Desheng broke out of the ice at the same time.
“De de de de…”
The two men were so cold that their teeth were chattering. They ran away dejectedly and tried to practice qigong to dispel the cold.
Zuo Qinglong glanced at the pretty lady beside him:
"Mengmeng, is your college on winter vacation?"
Tu Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him:
"What time is it now? Chinese New Year is almost here, you know?"
"I thought you..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but changed the subject:
"If you don't come back, Qing Zheng will have to spend the New Year alone..."
Zuo Qinglong understood what the strings meant and laughed:
"Thought I was dead?"
"I haven't given up on your... well, Qing Zheng doesn't have a sister-in-law yet, how dare I die so easily?"
"Even if I go to hell, I will crawl back..."
"Hmm..." Tu Mengmeng fell silent.
The man next to him said it lightly, but everyone knew that being trapped in a space crack was basically a death sentence.
Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be so scared of it.
And how much luck did this man beside him have to have in order to emerge from the space crack again...
They must have gone through hardships that ordinary people can hardly imagine...
Without a strong will to survive, without unbreakable bonds in one's heart, how could one emerge from the spatial rift again...
Thinking of this, Tu Mengmeng suddenly felt a slight pain in her heart.
She quietly glanced at the resolute face of the man beside her, and the tenderness and love in her heart increased even more...
Zuo Qinglong looked around and asked:
"Where is this place?"
Tu Mengmeng: "On the way back to Yongding City."
"Are you...going back with me?"
Zuo Qinglong nodded and smiled: "Of course!"
"However, I need to contact the leader of the Demon Hunting Bureau first."
"After all, now that I'm in the Demon Hunting Bureau, I'm not as free anymore!"
After saying that, he took out his cell phone and made a video call to his old acquaintance Xia Houyong.
Demon Hunting Bureau Headquarters.
People come and go, it's a busy scene.
The phone kept ringing, and the operator answered and hung up, without a moment's rest.
Rows of staff are typing away at their computer screens, and printers are working at full capacity.
Deputy Director's Office.
There are piles of folders on Xiahou Yong's desk.
However, he did not sit in the office, but instead walked back and forth among the staff with a folder in his hand, directing their work.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
A pleasant cell phone ringtone rang.
"Who the hell is so ignorant as to call me privately at this time..."
He took out his cell phone impatiently, muttering:
"If this is advertising, I'll make sure you're not going to make it..."
When he saw the incoming caller's profile picture on his phone screen, he froze, and the phone slipped from his hand without him noticing...
Fortunately, the deputy director is worthy of being the deputy director, and his reaction speed is first-class.
He reached out and grabbed the phone back in his hand.
The staff member only felt a gust of wind on the back of his head, and the deputy director had disappeared. Then:
Bang!
The door of the deputy director's office was slammed shut.
“Ahem!”
Xiahou Yong lowered his throat and solemnly pressed the answer button.
Soon, Zuo Qinglong's cynical and handsome face appeared on the screen.
Zuo Qinglong waved his hand: "Hello? Hi~!"
"Director Xiahou, it's been a while since we last met. How are you?"
Xiahou Yong was very excited.
"You kid didn't die?"
Zuo Qinglong's face darkened:
"Why? The Director wants me dead?"
"Hahaha, no way!" Xiahou Yong laughed loudly.
"Ah, it's true that this scourge has lasted for thousands of years, it's not that easy to kill..."
Zuo Qinglong: ...
"Director Xiahou, if you do this again, I'm going to die."
Xiahou Yong quickly said:
"No, no, no, I'm so happy to see you're still alive."
"I accidentally said what was in my heart, ah..."
Zuo Qinglong rolled his eyes and stopped talking nonsense:
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I'm letting you know that my teammates and I won't be reporting back to headquarters. We'll talk about it after the New Year."
Xiahou Yong looked embarrassed:
“This isn’t good…”
"You have returned from the space rift. This is a big deal."
"Director Qin is still waiting for you to report the situation in person..."
"Alas..." Zuo Qinglong sighed deeply, gathered his emotions, and began to complain:
"Director Xiahou, you don't know how much effort we put in to come back, and how difficult the process was..."
"In order to return, we searched for the way home day and night, and also had to fight for our lives day and night with the creatures in the space crack..."
"Any small mistake can lead to the annihilation of the entire team..."
"We want to come back not for ourselves, but so that we can serve the Demon Hunting Bureau after we come back."
"You said we were killed right after joining, and haven't had a chance to contribute to our Demon Hunting Bureau yet. How embarrassing for us..."
"You don't know that although we are in danger, our hearts are always with our Demon Hunting Bureau..."
Xiahou Yong was silent.
Look, look, this is the person I recruited personally!
What a loyal and responsible subordinate this is...
Even in such a dangerous situation, he was still thinking about contributing to the Demon Hunting Bureau!
Xiahou Yong wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands:
"Stop talking..."
"I have fully felt your bitterness..."
"Well, I've made the decision: you'll be allowed to report to the Demon Hunting Bureau after the New Year!"
"If Director Qin blames me, I will take full responsibility!"
"Really?" Zuo Qinglong was overjoyed:
"Thank you so much, Director Xiahou!"
"I'll buy you a drink when we get to headquarters!"
"Alas..." Xiahou Yong sighed deeply.
"Forget about drinking, I don't have time! I've been in too much trouble lately..."
"Oh?" Zuo Qinglong asked in surprise:
"What's making Director Xiahou so upset?"
Xiahou Yong was shocked and was waiting for you to ask!
He narrated:
"You just came back, so you don't know a lot of things that happened recently, right?"
"Some time ago, many space cracks appeared inexplicably around the world,"
"Moreover, monsters descend from every spatial crack, attacking us humans and monsters indiscriminately!"
Zuo Qinglong frowned.
Monster?
Could it be those creatures we encountered in the other dimension, which looked like monsters but didn’t look like monsters?
