Yokai Office

Summer in Jindu always comes unexpectedly.

The temperature rose extremely fast, and the sun was scorching the earth, which was very hot.The environment is sweltering and hot, making people quite breathless.

Shen Xi carried a lot of things and ran into the office quickly, and ample air-conditioning rushed towards him.Maybe it was because the temperature difference was too strong, which made Shen Xi's hair stand on end, and his body trembled twice.

"This weather is too uncomfortable!" Shen Xi complained.

Hearing his voice, Liuhuo got half of his body out of his seat, "Xixi, are you back?"

"En." Shen Xi handed a cup of special drink to Liu Huo, "Liu Huo, this is for you."

Immediately afterwards, he walked around the office hall and distributed a large bag full of drinks.

Of course, he did not forget to leave two bottles.

"Xixi, what is this? It's mysterious." Someone shook the drink, full of curiosity.

"Why do you ask so many questions? You'll know after a sip." The other members spoke out immediately.

Shen Xi took the remaining two drinks and ran to the second floor, turned around and said to everyone, "Heat clearing and detoxification, a must for summer!"

After all, he ran up quickly.

"Zongci, I'm back!"

Shen Xi stretched out his hand, unlocked the door with his fingerprints, and rushed directly into the office.

It was time for lunch break, Zong Ci was sitting on the sofa at one side, and on the coffee table were several delicious dishes.

Seeing his lover who was full of smiles, Zong Ci involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth, "You're back? Just run all morning."

Shen Xi sat beside Zong Ci, and handed him the only two bottles left in his hand, "I'm looking for Grandpa Treant to drink, try it?"

"What is this?" Zong Ci took the light brown drink.

The drink is an ordinary water glass, and it is very comfortable to hold it with a special coolness.

"The sap tea brewed by Grandpa Tree Spirit is very sweet!" Shen Xi praised without hesitation, "Also, the old man specially soaked the cups in mountain spring water, it's ice cold, absolutely refreshing to relieve the heat !"

Shen Xi thought of something funny, and suddenly chuckled, "In the past, he prepared it for me alone, but this year I asked him for the amount of all the staff, and he even took the opportunity to 'blackmail' several bottles of wine from me!"

Zong Ci took out a tissue, wiped the remaining sweat from Shen Xi's forehead, and said with a smile, "He actually treats you very well."

"Of course, besides grandma, Grandpa Treant loved me the most." Shen Xi paused, and then added, "Oh, the second uncle next door is also very kind to me."

"Now we have you, Brother An, Senior Bi Fang, Liu Huo and Cui Yu..." Shen Xi read one by one, his smile widening.

Zong Ci couldn't hold back, pulled him into his arms, and kissed him.

"When I'm free in a few days, I'll go back to Monster Village with you to see him."

When Shen Xi heard this, he immediately looked forward to it, "Okay! Then buy more good wine and food, Grandpa Dryad must be very happy."

"Well, let's eat first." Zong Ci let go of him, and handed over the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"it is good!"

***

After the two had a full meal, Shen Xi went downstairs.

As a result, as soon as the members in the office hall saw Shen Xi's figure, they shouted immediately.

"Xixi, where did you buy this drink? It's delicious!"

"Yes, after drinking it, I feel comfortable all over my body."

A lot of people came out to respond, and with every word, they almost wanted to praise this drink to the sky.

"As long as it tastes good, it's brewed at home, and the quantity is limited." Shen Xi said as he walked back to his job.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and even heard a lot of sighs.

Shen Xi was provoked by everyone, and pointed to the office on the second floor, "Okay, it's time for work in the afternoon! Everyone be serious, and be careful of the big boss upstairs."

Thinking of Zong Ci, everyone immediately became honest.

The majesty of the Zong team is still there, but they can't be the same as Shen Xi's 'family'.

Liuhuo got to Shen Xi's side, and joked, "Xixi, everyone is waiting for you, keep the Zong team under control!"

"Take care?" Shen Xi was puzzled.

"Develop the firm, and then 'annex' the detective agency, you will be the boss!" Liu Huo approached Shen Xi and whispered softly.

Shen Xi pushed him back, "You think well, and only Zong Ci can control you."

Liu Huo smiled awkwardly, rubbed his forehead, "Hey, I'll just talk about it."

Just as Shen Xi was about to continue talking, a commission came to the door.

"Concentrate on your work, it doesn't matter who cares, making money is the most important thing!"

"Too."

***

In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

Shen Xi was busy arranging files in front of the computer, and the office hall was already filled with noisy sounds.

"Ordinary people are really pitiful and have no resistance at all."

"what happened?"

"Didn't you read the news? It's another new type of infectious disease, and it has already killed people." A colleague said.

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion.

"In these days, are there still infectious diseases that cannot be controlled?"

"Who knows." Another colleague interjected, "It is said to be infected from the skin."

"So, it's better for us monsters, who have some spiritual power to protect the body, so it's not easy to have trouble."

Hearing this, Shen Xi couldn't help turning around to look.

The few people who were still discussing just now went out together back and forth.

Liu Huo walked in with something, saw his frown, and asked, "Xixi, what's the matter?"

"Is there a new infection recently?" Shen Xi asked.

"Huh?" Liuhuo thought for a while, "Is there? When I was playing the game yesterday, the webpage also pushed news."

He placed the documents neatly, and added, "...it seems to be quite serious."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xi immediately used the computer to check.

Liu Huo had nothing to do, so he simply stayed by his side and leaned his head to look, "There is no notice from the bureau, so we shouldn't care about the affairs of our demon world."

"Well. I'm just looking at the situation." Shen Xi said.

As soon as the words fell, a large piece of news appeared on the Internet.

——Recently, a new type of infectious disease broke out across the country, and the cause is unknown at this stage.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the possibility of severe illness and death cannot be ruled out for this new type of infectious disease.

——As of the 26th, there were a total of 37 deaths from new infectious diseases across the country, with more than 400 people infected.Among them, Jindu accounted for 18 deaths.

——The main manifestations of the new type of infection are skin redness and swelling, itching, followed by large-scale ulceration, accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness and high fever.

The two of them just scanned a few news summaries at random, and their expressions changed.

Shen Xi clicked on a case picture and took a deep breath.

"My God!" Liu Huo shouted repeatedly, "This is too..." It's disgusting!

"I didn't expect it to be so serious." Shen Xi turned off the computer and said worriedly, "Fu Ju and the others are alright?"

Liu Huo covered his mouth, "Don't say anything unlucky, I just saw Fu Ju yesterday, it's very good."

Footsteps were heard on the stairs, and Liu Huo glanced at it from the corner of his eye and realized it was Zong Ci.

He patted Shen Xi on the shoulder and said, "Okay, pack up and go home from get off work! We can't take care of human affairs for the time being. If it is really serious to a certain extent, the bureau will notify you."

"En." Shen Xi got up.

Seeing Zongci approaching, Liuhuo simply went out first, "I'll go back first."

"okay, see you tomorrow."

Liuhuo just left the door, and Zongci walked in behind.

"Are you ready? Ready to go home."

Shen Xi stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "Go back, I'm going to clean the house well!"

Zong Ci looked at him full of motivation and was puzzled, "What's the matter? You suddenly said that you want to clean?"

"It's not because of the recent infectious disease." Shen Xi talked about the news and Zong Ci that he had just seen, "...prevent it before it happens."

"Don't worry, we have spiritual power to resist, and ordinary infections won't affect us." Zong Ci rubbed his head, but still followed his wishes, "Let's go home and clean up with you."

"it is good!"

***

a few days later.

"In the past two days, there are really few things in the institute." Liu Huo glanced at the idle colleagues in the hall and said with emotion.

Shen Xi took a sip of ice water, "That's right, the infection is so serious now that everyone is at risk."

In just a few days, the scope of infection has expanded again and again, and the number of infections and deaths has increased day by day.

"The main reason is that we haven't found a way to deal with it yet." Liu Huo sighed.

Shen Xi still wanted to speak, but the hall outside suddenly became chaotic.

"Ah Xuan! Wake up!"

"what happened?"

"I don't know! Ah Xuan suddenly fainted!"

When Shen Xi and Liu Huo heard this, they looked at each other, got up and ran out in unison.

"Why is Ah Xuan's body so hot?"

"Do you have a fever?"

The crowd was in a mess.

"Liuhuo, go and shout Zongci!" After Shen Xi finished speaking, he pushed aside the crowd and walked to the center, "Don't crowd together, let the air circulate."

"Xixi, Ah Xuan seems to have a fever!"

The person called 'Axuan' is also a member of the detective team of the Monster Bureau, with a strong physique.

So after he fainted suddenly, many people were frightened.

Shen Xi briefly probed his forehead, frowned and said, "I just have a fever, call the medical building of the Monster Bureau, and we'll take him there."

After Shen Xi finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly became serious, and shouted.

"Someone! Help me!" Shen Xi supported Ah Xuan.

Seeing this, others immediately helped him up.

With one hand free, Shen Xi quickly lifted up A Xuan's clothes.On Ah Xuan's back, there were actually dense red rashes.

This scene shocked a group of people.

"What's going on?" Zong Ci's voice came.

Everyone consciously made way for him.

Zong Ci saw the situation on A Xuan's body, and his expression froze.

"Zong Ci..." Shen Xi raised his head and looked at Zong Ci, the panic and tension in his eyes was self-evident, "Is this infected?"
