Yokai Office

There was a vast expanse of black, empty and silent.

The night wind blew by his ears, whistling, and with an unknown coldness, it penetrated directly into his body.

Everything from the past swept through his mind, hitting his nerves repeatedly.

Fear, loneliness, and cold all poured into his body.

Shen Xi stared blankly at the bottom of the building, it was also pitch black, like an abyss.As long as you take a step forward, you will fall into this darkness, and you will never recover.

——As long as you step out, you'll be fine.

"If you step out, you'll be fine?" Shen Xi murmured, repeating the words in his mind, his eyes were empty.

He tried to take a step forward, overlooking the darkness below.

"Shen Xi, stop!" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Shen Xi was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around blankly, his body swayed, and he was about to fall back, which was shocking.

Zong Ci was standing at the door, with imperceptible worries on his brows, "Shen Xi, come here."

This tone of voice lacked the usual indifference and composure, but instead had a touch of softness.

Shen Xi looked at him, his originally lifeless eyes flickered, "...Zong team?"

"It's me." Zong Ci took a step forward, walking carefully and slowly, "You come here first."

More like patient and meticulous coaxing.

"I won't go!" Shen Xi shook his head desperately, but his eyes turned red quickly, "...They don't like me, I will always be alone."

Wronged and sad, it is distressing.

"Shen Xi, come to my side." Zong Ci frowned and approached slowly.He knew that Shen Xi was controlled by evil things.

Liu Huo and the others stood behind Zongci, not daring to make a sound.

- He's lying, no one likes you, you're always alone.

—Look, they just stand where they are, no one steps forward to stop you.

——Take a step forward, jump down, everything is over, you don't have to suffer anymore.

These words echoed in his mind again and again, with extremely bewitching killing intent.

For a while, the painful past swept his mind again.

"Team Zong, no one likes me, neither do you!" Shen Xi looked up at him.

The pain in his eyes made Zongci's breath stagnate.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Xi suddenly backed away and fell.

"Shen Xi!" Zong Ci jumped down without thinking.

"Team Zong!" "Team Zong!" Liu Huo and the other two members of the Monster Bureau shouted in shock.

The three rushed to the edge of the top floor and looked down.

A huge white fox appeared in the air, releasing dazzling blue spiritual power all over its body. Shen Xi, who fell from the building, was wrapped in the center and was slowly landing on the ground.

"Team Zong and Xixi are fine, let's go down!" Liu Huo was the first to react, turned and rushed to the stairs.The other two also followed closely downstairs.

***

The first floor is flat.

Zong Ci returned to his human form, and immediately looked at Shen Xi, who was lying in his arms.

Shen Xi turned pale, closed her eyes tightly, and bit her lips tightly.

Although he didn't say a word, his trembling body at this moment was enough to show his state.

"Shen Xi?" Zong Ci moved his body, not daring to push Shen Xi away.

Since getting to know Shen Xi, it was the first time he had seen her so fragile.

For some reason, Zong Ci felt a little at a loss.

"Team Zong." Shen Xi finally spoke, his voice was weak, with a crying tone that could not be ignored, "I'm sorry, I seem to have caused trouble..."

Shen Xicai managed to recover from the great fear, and was still a little dazed for a while.

Just now on the top of the building, real memories forcibly appeared in his mind, accompanied by infinite loneliness and chill, making it impossible for him to escape.

If Zongci hadn't caught him in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"I didn't do it on purpose, but I can't break free..." Shen Xi opened his eyes, met Shang Zongci's eyes, and explained carefully, his body was still trembling involuntarily.

He was obviously still terrified to death, but he had to explain it patiently, for fear that the other party would hate him for it.

Zong Ci stretched out his hand, stroked his messy hair, and put aside the topic.

"It's fine if you're fine, it's not your fault."

"Team Zong! Xixi!" Liuhuo asked anxiously while running, "Are you all right?"

Zong Ci saw the person coming, and also saw Shen Xi's state at the moment, so he immediately hugged him up.

"Zong..."

"Stay still." Zong Ci spoke, just a few words, without the indifference of the past.

There was a faint mint smell from his body, like a dose of tranquility, which made people feel very comfortable.The confusion in my mind finally settled down, and my clarity gradually recovered.

He was too tired to pretend he was all right.

Shen Xi secretly pinched Zongci's clothes, closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Yes."

When several people approached, Zong Ci didn't explain much, and directly gave the order, "It's getting late, go back."

After finishing speaking, he took Shen Xi and got into the car first.

***

elevator.

Shen Xi closed her eyes and snuggled into Zong Ci's arms without moving, only occasionally uttering a sleepy whisper.

Appearance looks, well-behaved and quiet.

Zong Ci looked down at him without saying a word.The usual indifference did not appear at this moment, but there was a trace of unfamiliar tenderness on her body.

Team Zong versus Sisi?So gentle?

Liu Huo was secretly surprised, but he didn't dare to speak out. He shrank himself in the corner of the elevator, silently lowering his sense of existence.

He always felt that there was a kind of warmth that was difficult to insert between Zong team and Shen Xi.

As a qualified little follower, Liu Huo decisively chose to be 'blind', and quickly slipped out as soon as the elevator door opened.

……

When he got home, Zong Ci looked at the sofa in the living room and stopped in his tracks, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Shen Xi in his arms moved, his brows were still furrowed, and he didn't seem to be sleeping peacefully.

Zong Ci paused, and finally moved his steps, leading him into the bedroom.

He put Shen Xi on the bed.

Suddenly leaving the warm embrace, Shen Xi woke up with a start, and tightly grasped Zong Ci's hand in a panic.

After suddenly waking up, with only confusion and helplessness in his eyes, Shen Xi said timidly, "Zong, Zong team..."

"It's me." Zong Ci didn't break free from the other party's contact, but pulled the quilt aside and gently covered him, "Go to sleep, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"What about you?" Shen Xi was extremely sleepy, but he still held his eyelids and dared not fall asleep.

Zong Ci met his wet eyes and was startled.

"Team Zong?" Shen Xi moved to his fingertips, squeezed it and shook it, reminding him quietly.

The slightly cool touch came from the fingertips, which suddenly triggered a trace of emotion, but it was as short as an illusion.

Zong Ci stabilized his mind, but his eyes were slightly soft, "Wait until you fall asleep."

Softly and slowly, whispering in the ear.

--how about you?Zong team?

—Wait until you fall asleep.

Shen Xi felt a little shy for no reason, but she didn't know where it came from.He pulled up the quilt and covered his reddened cheeks, only revealing a pair of eyes.

Shiny, see the glory of the past again.

"Zong team, good night."

The voice passed through the quilt, it sounded muffled, but it was a little cute.

Seeing him like this, Zong Ci finally dispelled the last trace of worry.He laughed and said, "Well, good night."

***

Early the next morning.

Shen Xi woke up leisurely. After a good night's sleep, he felt much lighter.

"Ah~~" Shen Xi stretched comfortably on the big bed, then turned over and sat up.

The unfamiliar layout of the room made him a little dazed.

It wasn't until Zong Ci pushed the door open that he recalled what happened last night, "Ah! Team Zong!"

Shen Xi got up in a hurry, his knee accidentally touched the corner of the bed, and it hurt so badly.

He rubbed it quickly, and walked towards Zong Ci anxiously again, "Good morning, Team Zong."

"Hmm." Zong Ci slightly raised his forehead, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Shen Xi nodded, and in order to convince the other party, he even turned around on the spot.

Thinking of what happened last night, my heart is full of joy, and I always feel that the relationship between the two is one step closer.

Zong team's new little follower, he is none other than him!

Shen Xi thought happily, and had already forgotten the fear of yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Zongci approached the cabinet in the next second, took out a set of clean bed covers, and handed it over, "Take it."

"Ah?" Shen Xi took it, but still realized it for a while.

Zong Ci leaned against the side of the wardrobe, his expression was the same as usual, but he showed a sense of comfort.

He raised his eyebrows, and instructed as it should be, "Change all the quilt covers."

"Ah?" Shen Xi was even more puzzled.

"You spent a long time on the roof yesterday, you didn't even take a shower, just went to bed." Zong Ci's words were simple and straightforward, "It's so dirty."

The first thing I do when I get up early is to be rejected by the Zong team.

Shen Xi's 'tail' clicked and stopped shaking immediately.

Seeing the change in the other party's expression, Zong Ci reached out and touched his lips to cover up the corners of his mouth, "Look back yourself."

Hearing this, Shen Xi looked sideways at the messy quilt on the bed, obviously caused by being trampled by him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Team Zong, I, I was wrong! I will replace it for you right away!" The attitude of admitting the mistake was very sincere.

Zong Dui is such a clean person, willing to let him sleep in the bed, it's really great!

Well, keep wagging your tail at Zong!

Shen Xi affirmed this in her heart, and quickly changed her hands and feet...

***

In the afternoon, the Inspectorate.

"Zong Ci, Shen Xi, you are here." Fu Chenglin walked in, followed by Liu Huo.The two went to interrogate Yue Junming.

Zong Ci nodded, and asked directly, "Did the question come out?"

"Well, Yue Junming has recruited them all." Liuhuo answered, and took the initiative to tell the two of them everything, "After Yue Junming's parents died, he has been living alone. Probably a sudden change in his life and no one to explain it caused him to be extreme. .”

His legs were crippled, his parents passed away, and his peaceful life was suddenly broken.

Yue Junming was just a high school student, and he suddenly went astray.

"Although he has always been resentful, he knows that he can't do anything. But a month ago, he said that a strange man suddenly appeared in his rented room and gave him a yellow sheet." Liuhuo got to the point, "Huang On the cloth, there are spells about greeting speech spirits and blood spirit formations."

"A strange man?" Shen Xi asked suspiciously.

"Yue Junming said that the other party hides his appearance, so he can't see clearly, but he should be a monster. Moreover, the other party asked him to take revenge in such an extreme way as jumping off a building." Fu Shenglin continued.

Zong Ci looked serious, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Huo continued to speak the truth.

Yue Junming began to summon the speech spirit with a dubious attitude, because the resentment in his heart had always existed, half a month later, his speech spirit came into being.Yue Junming was both frightened and excited.

It was also at that time that his personality became extreme, and killing intent surged in his heart, which was out of control.

Due to regional restrictions, he could only follow Ye Min and the other four people in the Golden Capital. After collecting their items, he began to order the spirit to possess him, and started a series of revenge actions.

He was too impatient, and after several days of operations, when he finally controlled Chi Lin, he failed to fully possess Yan Ling.

That's why Zong Ci and Shen Xi who rushed to save Chi Lin.

Yue Junming failed in his first attempt, unwilling to reconcile, he opened the Blood Spirit Formation in order to get more powerful help.

"Yue Junming's mood has stabilized, and his speech is very gentle. I think he looks like a murderous person today." Liu Huo said with emotion.

Zong Ci finally spoke, "How is Chi Lin's situation? Old Fu, how do you plan to resolve their matter?"

"This time, Chi Lin's body has been seriously damaged. Even if he is healthy, he will probably be very weak." Fu Chenglin sighed, "As for Yue Junming, I have already reported to the superior. From today on, someone will watch him."

"Also, regarding school violence, the superiors attach great importance to it. The things committed by Chi Lin and Chen Fan will also be interrogated again."

Sin does not entail death, but it is inevitable.

Obviously a victim of school violence, but in the end he killed someone.

He was obviously the perpetrator of campus violence, but he was hurt in the end.

They ruined each other's lives, and for the rest, there was nothing left.

***

"Xixi, are you okay? Last night, I was so worried." Liu Huo said worriedly, remembering what happened last night.

Shen Xi waved his hands, put his hands on Liu Huo's shoulders, and said gratefully, "It's okay, but when I was dealing with Yue Junming yesterday, I was possessed by a blood spirit, so I was unconscious and did something stupid."

Shen Xi naturally blamed Xue Ling for this matter, "Fortunately, the Zong team was there to save me!"

When Zong Ci heard this, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.Seeing that the other party was in good condition, he finally concealed the unspoken words...
