Chapter 019 Daily Interlude
After flipping through the illustrations and hesitating for a long time, Chu Yi finally decided who should be chosen as the human leader.
Although he is not a human, this candidate will make people trust him more.
"Eh? Is Lingling going to play a reverse role this time?" Orange came out of the data world, jumped onto Chu Yi's shoulder, looked at the exchange panel and asked curiously.
"Yes, the vest this time is a handsome guy." She stared at the suit on the screen and was intoxicated for a while. As expected of him, the modeling is so beautiful, I give a huge thumbs up to the game's original artist. She could imagine how crazy the world would be when he appeared. After all, the charm of high star rating was not to be underestimated.
"He's really beautiful." Orange's eyes lit up, "He's prettier than Hashihime and Higanbana."
"He's so good-looking and handsome~this is worth it~" Just for his looks, her sky-high points are worth it.
"Okay, Orange, get ready, let's go to the Dragon Team. Liu Jimeng went to pick up her mother's ashes today, and Duan Shi said that I can go and accompany her when I'm free. Let's go and see what's going on." Chu Yi rubbed Orange's soft hair, turned off the panel, and told it the next action plan.
During this period, whenever Chu Yi has time, he will put on Qiao Ji's shell and stay in the Dragon Group. The implementation of her current major plans cannot bypass the country, so she has to keep an eye on the dynamics of all parties so that she can adjust her plans at any time according to the situation to prevent things from going wrong.
A person's energy is always limited, and she was afraid that she might not pay attention somewhere and make a huge mistake.
"Okay~" Orange agreed happily, and with a jump, he returned to the virtual world, "Let's go~"
Chu Yi smiled dotingly and took it with him to the Dragon Group.
"...Okay, you don't need to say anything. Reject, reject, reject everything. No matter what reason they use, anyone who wants to come here will not be allowed to apply. This is what the higher-ups mean, so no matter how much pressure they put on you, you have to hold on! That's it, keep busy."
Duan Shi hung up the phone with a click.
He sat behind his desk, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and sighed tiredly.
One or two of them really make him worry.
'Knock knock'
Suddenly, there was a steady knock on the door, interrupting Duan Shi's thoughts.
He cleared his throat and called out, "Come in."
The door opened, revealing the graceful and elegant Qiao Ji, who was as elegant as an orchid in a valley.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Senior Qiao Ji?" Duan Shi was a little surprised. You know, Qiao Ji seldom came to him on her own initiative. In the Dragon Group, apart from assisting the scientific research department with research, she basically spent the rest of her time meditating and practicing.
What brought her here today?
Qiao Ji nodded slightly and said hello. She did not enter the office. She said to Duan Shi at the door: "You said yesterday that if I was free, I could go see Liu Jimeng. I came to tell you today."
"Senior, are you going?" Duan Shi was even more surprised.
You have to know that since joining the Dragon Group, Hashihime has treated everyone equally, neither distant nor close. He said this yesterday just to be polite. Although he really hoped that the only two fighting forces in the group could get along with each other, he would not force it if Hashihime was unwilling.
So he really didn't expect Qiao Ji to say this today.
"Yeah, I want to go and have a look." Qiao Ji nodded lightly.
Hearing this, Duan Shi did not ask the reason. He put away his surprised expression and said gently, "Okay, I understand. I will talk to the research department later. The research that requires the cooperation of seniors will be postponed for the time being. Do you need me to send someone to take you there?"
Qiao Ji smiled and thanked him, "Send someone to go with me, Liu Jimeng may also need some help."
"Okay, I'll contact Liang Hang right away. Senior, just go to the door, he will be waiting for you there." Duan Shi agreed without objection.
He picked up the phone and prepared to dial Liang Hang.
"Thank you for troubling me, Team Leader Duan. I'll be leaving first." After saying goodbye, Qiao Ji disappeared, and at the same time, the door was closed by an invisible force.
Here, Liang Hang, who was doing physical training at the training center, heard the phone ringing. He stopped what he was doing and picked up the phone swiftly, "Hey, Duan Tou'er, what's going on?"
"Senior Qiaoji wants to go find Xiao Liu. Go drive a car to take him there. I'll tell him to wait for you at the gate of the base. Hurry up. By the way, you should know the address of Xiao Liu's house, right?"
"I know, I'll leave right away." Liang Hang answered as he rushed to the bathroom. I've been exercising for so long and I'm all sweaty. I can't just go and carry out the mission like this.
After taking a quick shower in 3 minutes and quickly changing his clothes, Liang Hang sprinted towards the garage.
Six minutes later, a black car slowly stopped in front of a pavilion near the entrance. Qiao Ji was sitting in the pavilion, staring at the flowers in the flower bed.
Liang Hang rolled down the window and apologized to Qiao Ji, "I'm sorry, Senior Qiao Ji, I'm late."
"It's okay." Qiao Ji shook her head and didn't mind. She floated directly through the car door, stopped at the passenger seat, condensed her illusory figure into a solid body, tilted her head slightly and said to Liang Hang who was watching her actions: "Let's go."
"Okay." Liang Hang turned around, started the car, and slowly set off under the watchful eyes of the security guard at the door.
After driving into the city, Liang Hang took the time to call Liu Jimeng.
The phone rang several times before the person on the other end picked up.
He said to Liu Jimeng: "Xiao Liu, I'm Liang Hang, are you up?"
"Hmm? Brother Liang... not yet. I packed up a little late yesterday, so I plan to sleep in today." Liu Jimeng's voice on the other end of the phone was weak, and it was obvious that he was woken up. "What's wrong? Is there anything going on in the group?"
"Nothing much in the group, it's just that Hashihime-senpai said she wanted to come over to check on you. We'll be there in a bit."
"What?!" Liu Jimeng was instantly frightened awake. She sat up from the bed and her voice rose octaves.
"Hiss~ Girl, please keep your voice down. The senior is right next to us." Liang Hang was stung by her sharp voice, and his ears felt a little uncomfortable. He helplessly told her to calm down.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jimeng became even more nervous. She stammered, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, senior! I don't have a problem with you! Ah, ah, I mean that..."
Upon learning that Qiao Ji had heard what she had just said, Liu Jimeng felt very uncomfortable. She jumped off the bed, rolled around on the floor, and explained incoherently.
"It's okay, don't worry." The voice coming from the other end of the phone did not have a trace of blame, and even sounded gentle.
Liu Jimeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Senior Qiao Ji did not bear grudges and did not hold a grudge against her.
"I'll clean it up right away!" After such an unexpected incident, Liu Jimeng certainly couldn't continue to sleep. After she hung up the phone, she rushed around the house in a hurry, trying to make her messy home look better.
After Liang Hang hung up the phone, he concentrated on driving, and Chu Yi also closed his eyes to rest.
'Why did Lingdang go to find Liu Jimeng? 'Juzi's doubtful voice sounded in her mind.
It didn't understand why Chu Yi didn't start a new action but went to see Liu Jimeng.
'Orange, you are very curious, it won't take much time to go and take a look. Chu Yi replied with his mind. He didn't need to rush the plan, so he decided to satisfy the little wish of his furry elf first.
"Bell~"
Chu Yi's answer obviously moved Orange. If it could show up in physical form right now, it would definitely stick to her and rub against her hard.
The two chatted in a sticky manner all the way. Two hours later, they finally arrived at Liu Jimeng's home.
Liang Hang parked the car and took Qiao Ji, who was hiding on the side, upstairs. He exerted his military stamina and headed towards Liu Jimeng's residence with a clear goal in mind. He arrived there in a few minutes.
'Boom boom boom'
"Sister Liu, I'm here. Come and open the door." Liang Hang knocked on the door and shouted at the top of his voice.
Since Liu Jimeng joined the Dragon Team, the case against her was dropped and the media also released news of the overturned verdict, so Liang Hang's loud shouting did not attract the neighbors' inspection.
However, her identity has not been announced yet, and the Dragon Team plans to hold a formal press conference to introduce her to the public after she returns from vacation. The official combat power is too small now, so there is no intention to hide it. In the early stage, everyone who is discovered and recruited to join the Dragon Group will be pushed to the front and let everyone know.
At the same time, use the idol effect to achieve various goals.
"Come in quickly." Liu Jimeng opened the door and let Liang Hang in, looking around curiously, "Where is Senior Qiao Ji?"
"I'm here." After entering the room, Qiao Ji appeared from Liang Hang's side and greeted Liu Jimeng gently.
'Wow~ This is what Liu Jimeng looks like after awakening his half-demon bloodline? It looks so beautiful. 'Orange was making a lot of noise in Chu Yi's mind.
'Yes, she is a different kind of beauty from Hashihime and Higanbana. 'Chu Yi also likes Liu Jimeng's face. She is of the same bloodline as Orange. She falls in love with beautiful women and is a real late-stage face addict.
Liu Jimeng seemed a little nervous, but still welcomed Qiao Ji in a friendly manner, "The house is a bit messy, please don't mind, Senior Qiao Ji and Brother Liang." She touched her hair, feeling a little embarrassed. The house was in a mess yesterday, and she tried hard to clean it up just now, but there was not enough time, so it was still messy everywhere.
"It's okay. I understand." Liang Hang waved his hand, indicating that it was all a small matter. Then he asked enthusiastically, "Is there anything else you need help with? Just ask your brother Liang."
Liu Jimeng thanked Liang Hang for his kindness and said, "If it's not too much trouble for Brother Liang, please help me cover the furniture with white cloth."
Liang Hang raised his eyebrows. If it was built up, no one could live there. He asked in confusion, "Why don't you come back and rest for a few more days?"
“No.” Liu Jimeng shook his head. “I’ve packed my things. I’ll go get my mother’s ashes and bury them at the cemetery. Then I can go back to the group. I won’t be coming back.”
Liang Hang didn't ask her why she didn't want to stay any longer, he just rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, where is the cloth? Your brother Liang will make sure you get it covered nicely."
"Everything is here. Sorry to bother you, Brother Liang." Liu Jimeng trotted to the corner of the room. She was waiting for Qiao Ji and the others to arrive while she called the nearby cloth shop and asked them to deliver the things urgently.
"Okay. Sister, tell me where to start."
"No need to go through so much trouble, I'll do it." At this time, Qiao Ji floated to their side and said. It only takes her a few seconds to use her magic.
"How can I feel embarrassed!" Liu Jimeng didn't expect Qiao Ji to actually offer to help. She dared to trouble Liang Hang, but she didn't dare to trouble Qiao Ji. Not to mention that the senior is a noble lady from ancient times, just her identity as a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage means she cannot be asked to do these things.
"That's right, senior, please take a rest. I can finish it quickly." Liang Hang also advised. If he really let Qiao Ji help with these, he would be criticized to death by Duan Touer when he returned.
"..." Chu Yi was a little speechless. They were so stupid and didn't know how to adapt. Too lazy to waste time talking to them, she simply raised her hand and made a gesture. The pile of white cloth in the corner instantly floated up and covered the furniture in an orderly manner.
Liu Jimeng and Liang Hang were watching them as they completed a task that might have taken them half an hour in the blink of an eye.
"......"
"......"
This is really a piece of cake...
"It's just a little trick. Once you become familiar with the power in your body, you will be able to master it easily." Qiao Ji said to Liu Jimeng who was still in a daze.
Liu Jimeng came back to his senses and quickly thanked Qiao Ji, "Thank you for your help, senior. I will try my best!"
Qiao Ji nodded calmly, then asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Next we can go to the funeral home to pick up my mother's ashes, and then go to the cemetery. Team Leader Duan has already arranged it for me. We can just take my mother's urn with us." Liu Jimeng said as he went to pick up his suitcase.
She took one last look around her home, forced herself to smile, and said, "Let's go, Senior."
Qiao Ji and Liang Hang couldn't help but look at each other. Duan Shi really cared about them and even arranged the cemetery himself. However, the two of them tacitly agreed not to say anything more and followed Liu Jimeng downstairs.
