Chapter 017: Another General
In the banquet hall, Duan Shi and a few others were patiently guarding a large green light cocoon, waiting for Liu Jimeng inside to complete his racial transformation.
I wonder if she needs to be assigned some psychologists?
She is no longer a human being so suddenly. There may be some psychological disorder in Liu Jimeng. What they want is a helper, not a bomb. If she has psychological problems, she must receive treatment for a period of time.
Just when Duan Shi began to think about things in a tangential way, the light cocoon finally changed again.
The light on the cocoon became dimmer and sparser, and people outside could gradually see Liu Jimeng curled up in the core. Then, within a few breaths, the light cocoon disappeared without a trace. No, it should not have disappeared, but was absorbed by Liu Jimeng.
Finally, Duan Shi could clearly see that these rays of light were absorbed into Liu Jimeng's body, and as the last ray of light was absorbed, she slowly opened her eyes.
Liu Jimeng woke up from a vegetative state and couldn't tell what day it was.
In that darkness, she was first tortured by the pain that penetrated deep into her soul for a long time, and then she was enveloped by a burst of vibrant green energy, feeling as comfortable as a fetus still in the mother's womb. Finally, after she completely absorbed the energy that enveloped her, she naturally came out of that state.
"Miss Liu? Are you okay?" Duan Shi didn't know Liu Jimeng's current condition, so he didn't dare to touch her, so he had to ask her about the situation first.
"......" Liu Jimeng was stunned for a moment when he heard the unfamiliar male voice, and finally came to his senses. Ah Zi's top priority D She slowly got up from the ground and adapted to her new body. "Ah... I'm fine, feeling good..."
Liang Hang and the other two did not interrupt, but just looked at Liu Jimeng from the side with deep shock in their eyes.
Does this become a new life form? It's really amazing.
"I'm glad you're alright. Let me introduce myself. I'm the leader of the Dragon Team, Duan Shi, and I'm responsible for handling these incidents."
"...Dragon Group?" Liu Jimeng was a little speechless.
When she saw Hashihime nearby, she knew that these were definitely official people, but she never expected that the official organization was called Dragon Group. Could it be that the person who came up with this name is a loyal reader of a certain type of novel?
She wanted to complain, but because of the people present, she didn't say anything.
Of course they could see that Liu Jimeng's face was full of complaints, but what could they do? The higher-ups wanted to call it this, so what else could they do but agree?
Duan Shi said seriously, "Yes, the Dragon Group. It is a special department set up by the country after the recovery of spiritual energy, and it is fully responsible for related incidents." He ignored the winking and mischievous behavior of Liang Hang and the other two behind him, and said to Liu Jimeng in a very sincere tone: "I know that it is our police's fault that it has become like this. If the police who handled the case at that time were more cautious, perhaps you would not have encountered this. Therefore, I am here on behalf of our judicial organs to send you a sincere apology."
Looking at Duan Shi who lowered his head and bent over, Liu Jimeng was really surprised.
She didn't expect that the official person in charge would admit his mistake to her first. She thought they would start holding her accountable so as to force her into submission.
However, this also changed her view of the officialdom and her attitude towards Duan Shi became much more moderate.
"No, it's not your fault, nor is it the police's fault." Liu Jimeng still has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Although her experience was very painful, it was not just the fault of one party. "It was because of my weakness that I confessed on behalf of Pan Jingyi. It was because I took the initiative to confess the crime to the police that the police did not conduct a thorough investigation. Later, it was because of my imprisonment that my mother could not accept the reality and passed away."
When she talks about her mother, she is still very sad, but after going through so many things, she has let it go a little.
Her mother has never had a good life in this life, and it would be better for her to reincarnate early than to continue suffering in this world.
"I should be the one to apologize. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. But I still don't regret my actions." Liu Jimeng raised her head a little stubbornly. Anyway, she was determined to admit her mistake and would never repent. The Pan family deserved all of this, she was just doing justice.
Duan Shi was a little helpless. This girl's personality seemed to have changed a lot after her makeover. According to the intelligence, she was not like this before.
"Although as a police officer, I agree that the Pan family deserves the punishment they received, and I sympathize with your situation, but I still cannot agree with your private actions. It's not that you've caused us so much trouble, but our country has its own laws, and you shouldn't use inhuman force to trample on the law." Duan Shi said very directly, without considering her current identity at all.
Although the Dragon Team needs her strength, she must be criticized if she makes any mistakes.
Liu Jimeng fell silent, not knowing what to say. As a law-abiding citizen who has abided by the law for more than 20 years, she did not want to disrupt order, but she was forced into a desperate situation and had no other choice.
"I wonder what your plan is for me?" In the end, it was Liu Jimeng who took the initiative to speak. Since Duan Shi said so, she didn't want to escape anymore.
"We know you made a deal with the witch." Unexpectedly, Duan Shi's first words shocked Liu Jimeng. "We originally planned to arrest you and deal with you according to the law. But we didn't expect that you would awaken your half-demon bloodline, so we can't deal with you according to human law. And now the country has not yet issued a monster law, so we actually have a lot of controversy about our arrangements for you."
"...The country no longer recognizes my identity?" Liu Jimeng said this with some difficulty.
She didn't care how the country knew she had made a deal with the witch. The most important thing now was that she had imagined countless possible outcomes, but she had never expected such a punishment.
What if she is no longer recognized by her own country? Could it be that she couldn't even have her last home...
"No, it's not." Duan Shi didn't know why she thought of that, and quickly denied it. "No matter what you become, as long as you still recognize your identity as a citizen of our country, then you will always be a citizen of our country. It has nothing to do with whether you are human or not."
"Even if it is a monster, the monsters in our country are our country's monsters. Don't even think about running away." Liang Hang made a little joke to ease the atmosphere. Just now, Liu Jimeng was frightened by her own guess, and the aura around her became fierce.
Duan Shi shook his head helplessly. Liang Hang was always so smooth-talking. Sooner or later, he would have to be taught a lesson. However, after this interruption, everyone's complexion improved a lot and the atmosphere of the conversation became gentler.
Duan Shi didn't plan to talk about anything else. He directly stated his intention: "In summary, Liu Jimeng, are you willing to join the Dragon Group?"
"Join the Dragon Group?" Liu Jimeng blinked blankly, not understanding how things turned out like this. Wasn't they just talking about the measures to be taken against her? Why invite her to join the organization now?
She couldn't help but look at Duan Shi with a question mark on her face.
Seeing that she didn't react, Duan Shi patiently explained to her: "You are no longer an ordinary person. You are an awakened half-demon after all. You should also know that although the spiritual energy has begun to revive, the only relevant characters that have appeared so far are the witch of the wish shop, Senior Ghost Xiu Qiaoji, the Higanbana demon you summoned, and you who just awakened."
Duan Shi did not reveal the witch's identity. At present, this is a top secret that no one is allowed to know except those who have just met her. The Flower-Growing Country intends to keep the contact with extraterrestrial civilization a secret for as long as possible.
It’s not that we will never let other countries know about it, but we have finally seized this opportunity, so we have to let them develop first.
"The witch doesn't plan to join any side, not to mention the Higanbana demon. She is a demon from hell and likes to eat people. Even if she can be recruited, we don't need her. So except for Senior Hashihime who has already joined, we have no other fighting force. In this era, we are at a disadvantage. So we need your strength."
Duan Shi spoke very sincerely, and his eyes were so sincere that Liu Jimeng was so confused that she nodded in agreement without even thinking.
"Great!" Seeing her nod, Duan Shi immediately smiled happily, went up to hold Liu Jimeng's hand and shook it up and down, "Welcome to join us."
"Welcome~"
Liang Hang, Meng Zhengqi and Yu Gaoyuan also gathered around and congratulated Liu Jimeng together with Duan Shi.
Even the rather aloof Hashihime smiled faintly and nodded at her.
Liu Jimeng was flattered. Is it really okay to join just like that?
In the end, Liu Jimeng reluctantly followed Duan Shi and called him Team Leader Duan, which was considered as a formal acknowledgement of his identity as a member of the Dragon Team.
From now on, I'll be a government official... Fate is really unpredictable, but this result can be considered a blessing in disguise, Liu Jimeng sighed.
"Okay, Xiao Liu, just come back with us to the base." After finishing the pleasantries, Duan Shi began to talk: "Go back and report first, and then go home to deal with your personal affairs. Your mother's ashes are still in the funeral home, go pick up your mother first, take good care of the funeral affairs, sort out your mood, and then come back to work with full energy. If you need any help, you can also tell us directly. Don't worry about work, we don't have any incidents that require you to be dispatched recently, and you have just awakened, you can't do much, maybe you can't even beat Liang Hang, so you have to receive training after you come back. Don't worry, although except for Senior Qiao Ji, we are all exposed to cultivation for the first time, we have many experts in various fields, and we will definitely be able to study it out, and ensure that you don't waste your talent."
To his own people, Duan Shi is truly a perfect boss. He has a sense of the overall situation, a broad mind, cares about the work and life of his subordinates, and fully considers them. That’s why so many talented people with different personalities in the Dragon Group are all convinced of his leadership.
Listening to Duan Shi's nagging, Liu Jimeng was suddenly a little moved. She hadn't felt such pure care for a long time, and she even had the urge to cry.
But she held back and just smiled brightly at Duan Shi, "Thank you, Team Duan, I'm fine, I'll follow your arrangements."
Duan Shi was stunned by the girl's smile. Then he smiled a little embarrassedly and said okay.
Seeing this scene, the "irrelevant people" nearby, Liang Hang, Meng Zhengqi and Yu Gaoyuan, couldn't help but wink at each other. This development seems a little strange.
Chu Yi, who was disguised as Qiao Ji, also showed a subtle expression. Although she has never experienced love, this atmosphere seems to be wrong.
When recruiting Qiao Ji, Duan Shi didn't say a single extra word.
However, if they can really succeed, it would be a good thing. At least they look like a perfect match, but I don't know whether Duan Shi's family can accept a half-demon wife.
For a moment, everyone present, except the two parties involved, couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.
They maintained this strange atmosphere and returned to the Dragon Group base.
