Qinghe City Investigation Bureau, First Team Office.
"Xiaobai, why are you alone? Where is my brother?"
Lin Mo looked at the clock hanging on the wall and confirmed that it was time to go to work in the morning. He looked at Bai Yu who walked into the office alone, and made sure again that there was no one following him, and asked.
His workaholic brother didn't come to work on time?
"Captain Chu wants to rest today, so I asked for leave for him this morning. I also looked at his schedule for this morning, and they are not particularly important tasks, so I can complete them."
Bai Yu pulled out the chair at his seat and said with a smile.
"I see. It's rare to see him take a leave to rest. I didn't expect it for a while."
Lin Mo scratched his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought he was going to do some mission as the East Continent Regional Executive Officer again."
After his brother and Xiaobai got together, the two of them often went on missions and dates together. His brother was obviously in much better condition. Each of his golden feathers was shining, more beautiful than his black feathers that he had to apply hair conditioner cream on every morning and evening.
...
...
Lin Mo now feels more and more that the identity of Dongzhou regional executive is a burden.
Given his brother's personality, he would never use this identity to build any messy interpersonal relationships or networks.
Even though the reward is quite high, for the Chu family, this amount of money is really nothing.
"You're still thinking about this. It's been almost a year."
Bai Yu recalled when Chu Zehuai announced his reinstatement as the regional executive officer of Dongzhou last year.
Lin Mo expressed his opposition very clearly at the time, but he didn't expect that a year later, the other party was still opposing it.
"Yes. It's dangerous and tiring, and it's easy to lose control of your mind. If there's an important mission, you'll be away for ten days, half a month, or even a month. I don't see what this identity can bring."
Lin Mo leaned back in his chair and said unhappily.
Bai Yu thought about it. Its flowering period is from May to September, a total of five months. If Chu Zehuai was away for more than a month...
"Snap"
He unconsciously pulled off a leaf from a potted plant.
The leaves and flower buds began to feel uncomfortable at the thought that they might not be able to get sweet energy for a month.
It is easy to go from simple to extravagant, but it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugality.
Lin Mo's words reminded Bai Yu.
He couldn't possibly stop Chu Zehuai from performing his duties as the executive officer of the Dongzhou region, nor did he want to fail to absorb the other party's energy for a long time.
Then squeeze as much out of him as possible while he's still around.
Bloom as many flowers as you can get the other person to help you bloom.
Well, it’s decided.
**
Chu Zehuai, who was unaware that he had been secretly tricked by his brother again, finally showed up at the Investigation Bureau in the afternoon.
"I haven't seen you all morning."
Li Song stood at the door of the second team's office and waved to the people in the corridor.
His deep brown eyes reflected the other person's still somewhat unstable figure, and his nose smelled the rose scent that seemed to emanate from the inside out, and his heart was filled with relief and gloating.
Fortunately, he was keenly aware of Bai Yu's accumulated emotions last night, and ran away without hesitation.
This decision was extremely wise. Bai Yu vented his emotions on his best friend. When he saw Bai Yu in the morning, the latter was in a very happy mood and didn't even think about their late-night meeting.
"Yes, just like what you said yesterday when you ran away, you are addicted to the land of tenderness."
Chu Zehuai glanced at his friend who had run away without keeping his word for his loyalty, and emphasized the word "you who ran away".
If Li Song had let Bai Yu beat him up yesterday - after all, this guy was also an accomplice in the secret - maybe he wouldn't have been forced to collapse by his boyfriend stuffing him with flowers that night.
"How can you call it running away? I'm clearly creating a beautiful world for you and Xiaobai."
Li Song looked surprised and covered his chest in pain.
"You don't understand my painstaking efforts. I'm really going to cry. You doubt me like this, and don't you think about how many years of relationship we have had?"
Chu Zehuai twitched his eyes.
"Okay, you're waiting here for me. You can't be waiting to see if I can still walk into the office. Tell me, what's going on?"
The man leaning against the wall asked with a long sigh.
"I'm actually just surprised that you can still show up at the Investigation Bureau today. It seems that Xiaobai didn't do enough—"
Li Song was used to talking nonsense, but after seeing the increasingly dangerous look in those golden orange eyes, he immediately changed his words and said,
"You're right. I do have something to tell you. It's related to what happened last night."
After saying that, he asked Pu Feiyu to take out a few sheets of paper from the file beside him and handed them to the other party.
"I thought this matter was over, why is there a follow-up?" Chu Zehuai raised his eyebrows and quickly flipped through the documents in his hand page by page.
This is a document on the code of conduct manual for awakeners. It focuses on several requirements for awakeners to use their abilities, imposes certain punishments on awakeners who violate the requirements, and welcomes the general public to report those who abuse their abilities.
In addition, the Dongzhou region plans to set up a supervisory department to merge with the previous Dongzhou Trial Court, and may need to draw personnel from the investigation bureaus of various cities.
"It's impossible to pass the law so quickly. We have to take various situations into consideration. The abilities of awakened people vary greatly, and it's easy for them to take advantage of loopholes. For now, let's just issue a manual first, and then we can take our time."
Li Song sighed. He felt a headache when he thought about the troubles he would face in the future.
"I see. Anything else?"
"Yes, there is one more thing. A director group will come tonight and say they want to shoot a documentary for us. All captains must be present. This is much more important than the individual interview last time. Please pay attention and don't be absent due to 'force majeure'."
"......knew."
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was night.
What surprised Chu Zehuai was that the captains were waiting calmly on the side, drinking tea and looking over what they were going to say in advance. On the contrary, Lin Mo and Yuan Xue were jumping up and down on the scene.
"Is that the one in black Director Li?"
"It's him! It's him! I didn't expect he would switch to making documentaries."
"I love "The Legend of XX" very much."
Hearing the familiar title of the play, Bai Yu also leaned over to listen.
[It turns out that he is the director of the TV series The Legend of the Harem Women. I have watched this drama many times, which has been very helpful for me to imitate and learn to understand human emotions. However, I didn’t pay attention to the director’s name.]
Bai Yu roughly looked through the various resources he had in the system and found that in dozens of palace fighting dramas, the director column had the same name.
[Bai Yu, I seem to sense a looming spiritual force, a bit like the previous "Happy Opera House", you should be careful. ]
The system originally wanted to discuss these wonderful dramas with Bai Yu, but after sensing a weak mental force, it immediately changed the subject.
[I also felt it, this direction is——]
Bai Yu looked in the direction of the mental power he sensed and saw Yuan Xuelin Mo and Director Li.
"Director Li, are you really not going to shoot palace dramas anymore? Why?"
Yuan Xue looked at Director Li with shining eyes, holding a signature board in her hand.
"Because the 'palace' where the palace fighting scenes were filmed was destroyed, there was no place, so naturally we couldn't film. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice."
Director Li explained with a smile and signed an autograph for Yuan Xue.
"Oh my god, the palace drama sanctuary 'Palace' is gone? I was thinking that one day when I have some free time, I will put on my ancient costume and go there to check in and feel the atmosphere of the palace."
Yuan Xue looked regretful. If she had known that the 'palace' would be destroyed, she would have gone there earlier.
After delaying for a long time, the venue was gone.
"Will you continue to shoot palace fighting dramas in the future? I think your palace fighting dramas are the best in Dongzhou. If you really don't shoot them anymore, it will be a great loss to the film industry."
Lin Mo on the side was different. He didn't have high requirements for the venue. He just simply wanted to watch a group of concubines scheming against each other, so he rubbed his hands expectantly and looked at Director Li.
"That depends on whether the venue can be restored later. Why, do you two want to watch it? Or do you want to go in and make a cameo appearance?"
Facing the two fans of palace fighting dramas, Director Li smiled gently and asked.
The two nodded frantically.
Bai Yu, who was not far away, looked at Director Li.
He always felt it was a bit strange. Director Li, who had been shooting palace fighting dramas for half his life, did not show any sadness or regret in his tone or expression when he said the venue was destroyed.
Not to mention the venue where he had worked for half his life, even if the office of the first team where he had worked for a year was destroyed for various reasons, he would touch his leaves with heartache.
After all, I spent a lot of time and effort to set up my workstation.
The two people on the other side did not notice Director Li's strangeness. After hearing this, the expectation in their tone reached the maximum.
"Really? I don't ask for too much, just a small cameo role will be fine."
"Yes, yes, yes, I just want a small role."
These two sentences were like the key to trigger the rules. In an instant, the mental power and spatial fluctuations of the pollutants spread out with Director Li as the center, covering the entire investigation bureau.
Bai Yu's eyes blurred and the investigation bureau in front of him turned into an ancient and quaint palace.
"Sure enough, there are contaminants hidden here. I didn't expect that they would dare to break into the investigation bureau."
He folded his arms across his chest as he looked at the scene of red walls and green willows in front of him, muttering.
This mental pollutant gave him a similar feeling to the "Happy Opera House". It should be the type that traps people inside, gives them identities, and forces them to follow the plot.
But its level is far from S-level, and it is not as restrained as the "Happy Opera House" gave him. And he doesn't know if it is a problem of insufficient energy. This palace... looks like a layer of skin on the outside of the Investigation Bureau building.
Options like "Go to the harem! Play with the concubines! Pay respects to the Queen Mother!" kept appearing in his mind, just like the task prompts that kept appearing in the game.
Bai Yu just stood there, not feeling that the pollutant was strong enough to control him.
The attempt to draw a tiger ends up with a dog.
He looked at the incongruous Bureau version of the palace, and heard the disturbing voice in his mind. He didn't know what to say for a moment, until a familiar eunuch hurried over:
"Your Majesty—Ah? Xiaobai, why is it you?"
Bai Yu's version of the emperor and Lin Mo's version of the eunuch looked at each other.
"Why can't it be me?"
Bai Yu touched his chin, looked around, and found another familiar person.
"Sister Yan... a sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor?"
"It's me." Yan Ran held the knife, still looking cold and ruthless.
"Where are the others?"
Bai Yu looked again, but apart from Yan Ran, he didn't see many familiar faces.
Even if there are a few familiar faces occasionally, they are either the security guard standing at the door or the cleaning lady in charge of cleaning.
If everyone in the Investigation Bureau is involved, what about Captain Chu? What about Captain Li? What about Sister Yuan?
Lin Mo, who had recovered from the shock of “my friend became the emperor, and I became a eunuch”, had a complicated expression on his face: “I just wanted to report to you that they are all concubines in the harem.”
Bai Yu slowly typed out a question mark.
After saying this, Lin Mo's complex expression turned into emotion and relief:
"It's a good thing that you're with my brother, Xiaobai. If this had happened before, once you get out, the rumor that you were collecting stamps as the captain would have been hard to clear up."
Bai Yu: ........
"Guard Yan, I suspect that Eunuch Lin's roots are not yet cleansed. Take him away and clean him up again."
"yes."
"Wait, Xiaobai, you can't be so cold, help--"
