Yokai Office

Dark as ink.

In the peaceful living room, something is happening quietly.

On the sofa, the dog curled up, humming and barking from time to time, sounding extremely restless.Not long after, wisps of black air overflowed from his body, faintly.Under the illumination of the light, it is not obvious.

In the bathroom, there was the sound of dripping water.After a while, it stopped.

Zong Ci came out wearing a pair of pajamas.He thought of Shen Xi in the living room, and he paused slightly.

Arguing with drunk people is not Zongci's style of conduct.What's more, it's not the first time for Shen Xi to stay at home.

Again and again, Zong Ci has long been used to this.

Just remembering what Shen Xi said to him before dinner, Zong Ci couldn't help frowning, lowering his eyes in deep thought.

Coincidentally, a call came into his eardrum.

Softly, but clearly audible, it seems to be in the direction of the living room.

Shen Xi?

There was another whine, tinged with pain.

Anticipating that something was wrong, Zong Ci immediately walked out.

In the living room, there is still the smell of wine and food.The windows were deliberately opened to diffuse the smell, and the night wind blew in, gently rolling over the corners of the clothes, bringing a little coolness.

Everything was unbelievably quiet.

Zong Ci approached Shen Xi, who turned into the main body as usual, wrapped his small body into a ball, and was sleeping deeply.

Zong Ci stared at him for a while.

Seeing his body undulating slightly, accompanied by the sound of continuous and slow breathing, there seems to be nothing wrong.

"Shen Xi?"

no respond.

"Shen Xi?"

Still no response.

A dark light flashed in Zong Ci's eyes, and he directly stretched out his hand to ferry the spiritual power into Shen Xi's body.

In an instant, black mist overflowed.

It was also accompanied by constant low-pitched wailing in pain.

There is indeed a problem!

Zong Ci's face suddenly darkened, and he directly increased his spiritual power, trying to force out the evil spirits in Shen Xi's body.

After about tens of seconds, the fog in his body was continuously forced out by him, forming a blurry figure, which quickly jumped out of the open door and window.

Where would Zong Ci give him a chance to escape, he directly turned into his body and followed him out...

On the sofa, Gouzi's body emitted a burst of white light, and then turned into a human form.

Shen Xi closed his eyes and did not wake up, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face was pale.

***

Roof top.

Zongci finally cast a spell to trap the opponent in place.

The strong night wind from above blew away the figure formed of black mist, but quickly closed it on the spot.

It wasn't until this moment that Zong Ci was able to see his face clearly.

This evil spirit actually has the exact same face as Shen Xi!

A trace of surprise flashed across Zong Ci's face, but what Shen Xi said earlier flashed in his mind.

—I've been having nightmares lately.

——It’s all things that really happened when I was a child, things that I, I don’t like very much...it will start as soon as I fall asleep, I haven’t slept well recently.

He regained his composure, and he already had a guess in his heart, "Demon?"

Inner demons can transform into the appearance of their hosts. They like to hide in the bodies of humans, monsters, and beasts, digging out the deepest fear and loneliness in the host's body, and use them as a medium to get involved in the dreams of the other party.

They like to feed off negative energy.

The more the host is afraid of loneliness, the more he can improve the cultivation level of the demon.

What's more, it will affect the personality of the host for a long time, until death.Then, find a new host.

Zongci recalled what the demon world said about the inner demons, his face immersed in the darkness became darker, and even had a hint of murderous intent.

The inner demon is the evil spirit most able to detect extreme emotions.

Facing Zongci whose cultivation base was completely higher than his own, the demon on the opposite side immediately begged for mercy, "Forgive me this time! Don't dare again! Zong, Zong team."

He imitated Shen Xi's way of shouting.

Without Shen Xi's usual clarity and liveliness, he was left shrill and gloomy.

Zong Ci immediately threw out two cold words, "Shut up."

The inner demon trembled, and the cold wind blew his figure away, and gathered him again and again.

Zong Ci turned his spiritual power into a sharp sword, and aimed directly at the demons in his heart.The silky nightgown on her body looked spacious and elegant in the wind.The moonlight was blurred, casting a few light and shadows on his body.

Zong Ci had a cold face, and there was an inviolable aura all over his body, "Next, answer my words truthfully, otherwise, you should know what will happen if the sword passes through your body."

The blue sword spirit became brighter again, making people feel chills just looking at it.

"Yes, yes! I said..."

"When did you hide in Shen Xi's body?"

Facing Zong Ci with a strong cultivation base, the inner demon did not dare to make mistakes, and replied truthfully, "Eight days ago, when you subdued Yue Junming, I was originally the inner demon born in Yue Junming's heart..."

After hearing his narration, Zong Ci finally understood a little bit.

Because of Yue Junming's resentment, while attracting the spirit of speech, he also breeds inner demons.

The inner demon has always been hidden in his body, constantly sucking up his resentment and living.

Later, Shen Xi told Yue Junming that the car accident was an accident.Yue Junming struggled several times, but still believed Shen Xi's words.

Yue Junming's long-standing belief in hatred suddenly shattered, and because of the involvement of the Monster Bureau, he stopped revenge.

The demon had no choice but to give up Yue Junming, so Shen Xi, who was weak at that time, became his new target.

He dug out the memory deep in Shen Xi's heart, trying to lure him to jump off the building, and use blood to improve his cultivation in a short period of time in order to find the next host.

Unexpectedly, Zong Ci appeared and rescued Shen Xi.

Zongci's spiritual power made the heart demon afraid, and he didn't dare to make trouble in front of him.Later, the heart demon discovered that the fear and spiritual power hidden in Shen Xi's body was also a good place.

So he stayed in Shen Xi's body, weaving dreams every night to trap him.

Just now when he noticed Zong Ci's appearance, he deliberately stopped.Unexpectedly, he was arrested.

"Finished?" Zong Ci took a step closer.

"Say, it's over."

Zong Ci's eyes showed killing intent, and he directly used his spiritual power to stab the sword into the heart demon's body.

The black mist was wrapped in bright blue spiritual power, and when Zong Ci closed his palms, it disappeared instantly.

He has never softened his heart for such a harmful evil spirit.

***

On the sofa in the living room, Shen Xi woke up suddenly.

Looking at the empty living room, he felt dazed and couldn't react for a while.

"This is..." Shen Xi touched his sweaty forehead, thinking of that terrible nightmare, he felt terrified.

Shen Xi looked at the dark night outside the window and was amazed.

For several days in a row, no matter what kind of nightmare I experienced, it would last until daytime before I could break free.

But now, he woke up halfway!what happened?

Shen Xi got up from the sofa, his legs were a little weak, so he could only stand still for a while.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Zong Ci walked in.

The other party was wearing a nightgown, obviously going out.

Shen Xi asked suspiciously, "Zong Dui, where have you been? Where are Fu Ju and Liu Huo?"

"They've already gone back. You got drunk tonight and fell asleep on the sofa." Zong Ci looked at his blank expression, deliberately ignoring the part before Shen Xi fell asleep drunk.

"That's it..." Shen Xi was obviously drunk and completely believed Zong Ci's words.

His complexion has not fully recovered, but he is much less drunk.

Zong Ci thought for a while, but still put some spiritual energy on him, "Is it more comfortable?"

The inexplicable palpitation and headache eased, Shen Xi nodded, "Yes, Zong, how do you know..."

"Go take a shower first, and I'll talk to you carefully later."

Hearing this, Shen Xi recalled the previous dream, and saw that he woke up in the middle of the day, so he guessed that something must have happened in reality...

"it is good."

After all, he walked towards the bathroom.Zong Ci looked at his back, with a little hesitation on his face.After a few seconds, he turned around and entered the kitchen.

***

When Shen Xi returned to the living room, Zong Ci had already sat down at one end.

On the originally empty tea table, there was a cup of hot water, still steaming.

Shen Xi quickly walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down.

"Let's eat." Zong Ci simply gestured.

Shen Xi was overwhelmed by the flattery, and picked up the water glass, fearing that it would be hot, he took a few sips in it.

The hot water flowed down, and there was a sudden warmth.Shen Xi let out a soft sigh of comfort, holding the water glass in both hands and drinking, his eyes were sparkling, full of joy.

Zong Ci saw that his face was much rosy, and finally opened his mouth.

"I have found the source of the nightmare that troubled you and solved it."

"Ah?" Shen Xi was surprised, quickly put down the water glass, and asked, "Team Zong, what's going on?"

Zong Ci looked at him, and calmly narrated, "That day on the roof, you were invaded by demons, so these days, you have continuous nightmares."

Shen Xi didn't know anything, and looked dazed.

Zong Ci simply told him everything that happened just now.

"It turned out to be like this, luckily we found it in time!" Shen Xi moved his body and approached Zongci, "Zongtu! You saved me again!"

Zong Ci glanced at him, pretending to be disgusted, and said, "Among the monsters I know, you are the most troublesome."

"Team Zong..." Shen Xi looked at him with 'extreme resentment'.

He racked his brains for a while, then muttered in a low voice, "Then when I solved the case, my performance was excellent! Is it much better than ignorance?"

Shen Xi 'very scheming' pulled Liu Huo out to block the gun.

Plastic brotherhood, that's about it.

Zong Ci was made to laugh a little by him, so he could only cover the corners of his mouth with his hands.

Fortunately, Zong Ci has always been able to control his emotions well, and soon he returned to calm.

Seeing Shen Xi mentioning the case, Zong Ci recalled what the director of the Monster Bureau said earlier.

Get Shen Xi to work in the Monster Bureau.

In all fairness, Shen Xi's analytical ability is indeed good, and his thinking reaction is fast enough.

If cultivated well, over time, it will be a capable assistant.

"Shen Xi." Zong Ci was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

"Huh?" Shen Xi looked at him, pretending to be cute for an instant.

Like a dog who only wants to please its owner, it fits his attributes very well.

Zongci pursed his lips and asked, "The director of the monster bureau told me before that he wanted to recruit you to work in the bureau. Are you interested?"

Work in the Monster Bureau?

Shen Xi repeated these words silently, and after confirming that he was not hallucinating, he said excitedly, "Are you going to work in the Monster Bureau? Is it like this, working with you?"

The three words "Monster Bureau" have different meanings to ordinary little monsters.

Shen Xi didn't dare to agree casually, and felt that it would be better to ask clearly.

"Well, when there is no case, I will be very free, the salary will be paid as usual, and there will be a bonus at the end of the year. As long as you apply, you can also get food and accommodation." Zongci opened his mouth.

The benefits for the employees of the Monster Bureau have always been good.Zong Ci didn't hide anything, he told the truth.

When Shen Xi heard this, his heart was instantly filled with great joy.

Working with the Zong team, and still having the high-end title of 'Monster Bureau', it's not too good!

Three years after he was born, he became the most promising monster in the village!

Shen Xi was so stunned that he just wanted to wag his tail vigorously.

"Shen Xi, have you made up your mind?" Zong Ci had already seen the other party's emotions, and inevitably reminded, "Is your office still open? The distance between Baili District and Nilong District is a bit far."

Sure enough, when Shen Xi heard this, he felt a little worried.

Although the scale of the firm is small, it was all his hard work in the three years since he was born.

Of course, what he was most reluctant to part with was the handwritten signboard.

But Shen Xi thought about it again, the monthly salary of the Monster Bureau was almost equal to his monthly income from opening a shop!

The little money fan went online immediately, and the entanglement in his heart disappeared without a trace.

"Team Zong, it's okay. I can save money, and I can find a store in Nilong District in the future!" Shen Xi said happily, "It's also convenient for work."

When Zong Ci heard Shen Xi's plan, he suddenly felt helpless, "It's up to you."

"Team Zong, you won't go back on your word, will you?" Shen Xi asked repeatedly.

"No." Zong Ci glanced at the time and got up.

Shen Xi looked up at him, her star-like eyes were full of trust, the emotions she only showed towards him.

The broken hair, which had not been blown dry, was messily pasted on the forehead.

Zong Ci was startled, and subconsciously touched his forehead with his finger, and moved it lightly.

Gentle touch, with coolness.Immediately, a scorching heat rose, spreading to every corner of the body in an instant.

Shen Xi felt his heartbeat stop for a beat, and his cheeks, earlobes and neck were all red.

Every second of change, has faithfully fallen into Zong Ci's eyes.

Zong Ci quickly withdrew his arm, and there was a crack in his originally calm expression, and he looked vaguely annoyed.

What did I want to do to Shen Xi just now?

"It's nothing. It's getting late, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Zong Ci pretended to be calm.

"Ah, oh." Seeing his plain words, Shen Xi felt a little disappointed.

Zong Ci paused, then glanced at Shen Xi's forehead from the corner of his eye, hesitated, and added, "Blow dry your hair before going to sleep."

Just a few words, but with a unique magic.

A smile burst into Shen Xi's eyes, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah!"

Zong Ci turned around and walked towards the room. When he was about to enter the room, there was a sudden sound from behind.

"Team Zong, good night!"

The voice was quiet, but the smile inside was obvious.

Zongci didn't know what to think of, and sighed lightly.He turned his head, with a slight smile in his eyes, "Good night, go to bed early."

***

The next day, Shen Xi slept until twelve noon.

The sofa was too small, and he didn't return to his original body. After a long time, his hands and feet were numb from sleep.But the tiredness of the past few days was gone, and Shen Xi only felt that his whole body was full of vitality.

Zongci left him an electronic sticky note and put it on the coffee table.

"Wake up and go back by yourself, deal with the matter, and then contact Liuhuo to report to the Monster Bureau. Also, I will give you the things in the box next to it to ward off evil spirits."

Shen Xi carefully read a line of words on the note, and then turned his attention to the side.

A black wooden box was placed on the coffee table, exuding a faint fragrance. The top of the box was engraved with flowers and wood carvings, and a pure gold lock was used, which was extremely delicate.

If Zong Ci hadn't left a note to instruct him, Shen Xi really wouldn't have dared to mess around.

Shen Xi moved the wooden box in front of him, and opened it carefully.

Soon, the things inside caught his eyes.

"Wow--"

Shen Xi involuntarily let out an exclamation sound, and his eyes were firmly fixed on it.

Inside the wooden box is a jade ruyi with a small handle.The head of the hook is in the shape of a phoenix head gilded with silver, while the handle is made of transparent white jade with a warm color, which is expensive at first glance.

Zong team actually gave him this thing?

It's too rich!

Shen Xi glanced at the electronic note again, to ward off evil spirits?

Could it be possible that the Zong team gave themselves some benefits to this 'future subordinate' because they saw that they had been physically weak recently and their spiritual power was weak?

"Anyway, what the Zong team gave must be unusual." Shen Xi attached great importance to this thing, put it into the box gently, and whispered to Ruyi, "Miss Ruyi? Sister Ruyi? You must keep me safe!"

Never thought about it, the voice just fell.

The silver-gilt hook head suddenly flashed a gleam of light.

Shen Xi's eyes widened, and he felt that this thing was unusual.

After a while, Shen Xi tidied herself up, and then went out with Ruyi in the wooden box.

***

Since Shen Xi returned to Baili District, the nightmares that troubled him really disappeared without a trace.

In addition, he also vaguely felt signs that the spiritual power in his body had strengthened again.

Although Shen Xi didn't understand what was going on with the increased spiritual power for no reason, it was still a good thing.He wasn't worried, and thought about waiting for a while to ask Zongci about the situation.

The storefront in Baili District was rented for a year a year ago, and it is now the end of October.

Shen Xi counted the time and had no idea of ​​subletting.

Two days ago, there happened to be a dozen or so monsters who had just been born, and they organized a group to come to the door and begged him to introduce him to work in the world.

Shen Xi thought about securing the business, then tidied up the store and went to the Monster Bureau to report.

It took nearly 20 days to go back and forth.

***

Zong Ci originally thought that with Shen Xi's temperament, he would quickly clean up the stores in Baili District and report to the Monster Bureau.

Unexpectedly, this time, I haven't seen the other party for a long time.

There were no new cases in the Monster Bureau, and it was as calm as usual.Zong Ci's own detective agency is well managed by Liu Huo and other employees.

Zong Ci returned to his usual peaceful life, but somehow he became a little more boring.

Today, Zong Ci returned home. He had never had much entertainment and interaction, and was about to rest.

A call came in, it was Shen Xi's number.

Zong Ci was startled, then picked up, "Hello."

"Zong Ci." A woman's voice was a little eager.Zong Ci was stunned for a moment before he could tell, "Why is it you? Where's Shen Xi?"

The woman on the other end of the phone didn't answer the question, but urged him, "Come on, something happened to Shen Xi."

***

When Zongci arrived in Baili District, the store at the end of the street was closed.

In the surrounding air, traces of spiritual power were invisible, and it seemed that they all overflowed from the store.

Zongci approached quickly, and pushed the concealed storefront away.

The compartment inside was glowing with white light, and a thick and pure spiritual power was also revealed during this period.

It was the same as that day on the top floor.

Hearing the commotion outside, a woman in a cheongsam came out, seeing Zong Ci, her eyes were completely unguarded.Instead, he said worriedly, "Finally, I have waited for you. You go in quickly and have a look at Shen Xi."

When Zong Ci saw the other party, he was not at all unfamiliar, "What's going on?"

"The spiritual power in his body suddenly surged and overflowed, and someone needs to guide the spiritual power in his body." The woman said simply and clearly, "His spiritual power is too pure, I am afraid that if this continues, it will attract evil spirits to covet it." .”

Zong Ci was fine and walked in quickly.

In the small cubicle, Shen Xi was sitting on the ground in pain, with his back against the wall.He lowered his head, overflowing with white spiritual energy, "Ah..."

Zong Ci walked over, squatted down, and saw his condition, with a look of worry on his face, "Shen Xi."

"Zong, Team Zong." Shen Xi's whole body was hot, as if his whole body was immersed in a hot furnace, his internal organs ached from the heat, "I'm in a little pain."

In fact, more than a little pain.

Shen Xi was drenched in sweat, but his face was unusually pale.

"Steady breathing." Zong Ci simply said, "Your spiritual power has suddenly increased in your body, and you still don't know how to absorb it. I'll help you guide it in."

"……Um."

Seeing this, Zong Ci will not waste any more time.He closed his eyes and was just silent for a moment.He released a huge blue spiritual power all over his body, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a strong pressure that was hard to ignore.

The woman who was guarding the door of the compartment involuntarily retreated to the outside.

The blue spiritual power slowly surrounded Shen Xi's body.

The two kinds of spiritual power, blue and white, blend together, and there is no expected repulsion.

There was surprise in Zong Ci's eyes, and soon, his tense expression relaxed, and he released his spiritual power smoothly.

Shen Xi only felt a coolness sweeping over him, the burning sensation gradually disappeared, and his whole body cooled down a lot.The spiritual power that was originally overflowing seemed to be guided, and it was flowing steadily towards all parts of his body.

It didn't know how long it took before Shen Xi settled down.Zong Ci stopped his hands, closed his eyes to rest.

Shen Xi opened his eyes in a daze, and Zong Ci at the side came into his eyes, and his heart was inexplicably dependent.

Every time I encounter pain and threats, the other party seems to always appear by my side.

Zong Ci calmed down his breath, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Shen Xi was staring at him and making a sound.

"Is it better?" His voice was a little dry, and the bass had a different kind of provocative feeling.

Shen Xi suddenly had an idea, wanting to get closer to the opponent, "Team Zong."

Zong Ci heard his shout, and responded softly, "Huh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Xi transforming into a full body and jumping directly on him.Zong Ci was unprepared once, and retreated directly, sitting on the cushion.

Seeing this, Shen Xi went straight into his arms.

A soft, fluffy mass, arching to and fro.

Zong Ci was completely confused about Shen Xi's behavior, and for a moment, he allowed him to hug him.

Suddenly there was a chuckle from behind.

One person and one dog looked up, and the woman was leaning against the compartment door, teasing, "It seems to be all right."

Seeing this strange woman, Shen Xi instinctively gave a warning.

"Yo, you little dog has a temper." The woman walked over on high heels, and the cheongsam on her body fully showed her exquisite figure, revealing a different kind of charm.

Before Shen Xi could react, the small ball of figure was hugged by the woman.

"Ow!"

Her nails brushed against her soft body, "Zong Ci, this one of yours is really cute."

Zong Ci?Yours?

I?

Thinking of this connection, Shen Xi was secretly happy in his heart.He who was still resisting, suddenly wagged his tail at the woman.

"Ruyi, don't talk if you have nothing to do." Zong Ci retorted aloud.

When Shen Xi heard the word 'Ruyi', an idea flashed in his mind.

Is this woman...

The wishful handle that the Zong team gave him earlier? !

"Hello, cutie."

Before Shen Xi could think deeply, the woman holding him spoke.

"It's me who has been by your side these days. Didn't you say 'Sister Ruyi' and call it affectionately? Now when you see my human form, you are so unfriendly to me? Huh?"

After all, he rubbed his round head.

Shen Xi came to his senses and immediately looked towards Zong Ci.The two front claws were still pulling hard, trying to get out of the woman's embrace.

The two balls on the woman's chest pressed against him, making him a little uncomfortable.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Seeing his appearance, Zongci silently took him back from Ruyi's hands.Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Shen Xi hurriedly used all four legs to push up hard, and even held Zong Ci's arm.

The dog moved around in his arms, and the smooth hair rubbed against his arms naturally, which felt good to the touch.

Zong Ci subconsciously touched it a few times, and the dog in his arms let out a comfortable sigh instantly, clinging to him more and more.

Soon, Zongci received Yu Ruyi's gaze, obviously with a teasing smile.He came back to his senses, put Shen Xi down pretending to be calm, and said, "Stay here and sleep, don't come out."

"Oh~~" Shen Xi wagged his tail to please him.As soon as Zong Ci turned around, he scrambled to keep up.

"Shen Xi, stay here and rest." Zongci paused, and spoke again, "I have something to talk to Ruyi."

The dog responded with a whimper, wagging its tail, then turned around and lay down on the fur mat.

Seeing that he didn't follow, Zong Ci walked out.

Yuru, who was staying at the back, commented on Shen Xi who was lying on the mat sullenly, and smiled, "I have nothing to do with Zongci. I like you more than him."

After finishing speaking, he stepped on his high heels and walked out da da da.

Hearing this, Shen Xi thought about it for a while.

Only then did he come to a conclusion: this Yu Ruyi has nothing to do with the Zong team!Moreover, I am more attractive than Zong team!

The depression in his heart dissipated immediately, Shen Xi yawned a little, and simply closed his eyes to rest.

***

At the end of Second Street, Baili District, outside the shop.

Zongci and Yu Ruyi stood opposite each other, handsome and beautiful, just looking at the picture, they are very harmonious.

"Besides the loss of spiritual power today, are there any other accidents?" Zong Ci asked straight to the point, without further opening remarks.

Yu Ruyi stroked the broken hair around her ears, a simple movement, but it gave birth to thousands of charms.

She was not afraid of Zong Ci's indifference, and complained, "You still can't trust me? If something happens here today, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Yu Ruyi is not a demon, but a tool spirit, and her body is the silver-gilt phoenix head Yu Ruyi.

Everything has a spirit, and the gathering of spirits forms a shape.

Jade ruyi originated from the ancient court. It was a princess's personal belongings at first, and then it became popular among the people.

I am used to seeing the prosperity of the world, and I have also experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Because it has the meaning of "good luck and good luck", it was baptized by the blessings of several generations and gradually gathered spirituality.Later, Yu Ruyi fell into the hands of a warlord, who abandoned her on the battlefield because he didn't understand how to appreciate it.

Contaminated with the blood of the undead, the aura that originally contained blessings suddenly weakened, and it was about to dissipate.

By chance, Zongci picked her up, preserved her spiritual power, and allowed her to transform into a human form.

But most of the days, Yu Ruyi still likes to turn into her body and stay quietly in the wooden box.

This time, if it wasn't because Shen Xi was invaded by evil spirits, Zong Ci would not have seen her shout out.

After all, Yu Ruyi was able to know the existence of evil spirits in the first place, and could also give timely warnings.

***

"These days, the little cutie is normal. When she sleeps, she still hums, it's so cute." Yu Ruyi's seniority is much older than Shen Xi's, so it's no exaggeration to praise him for being cute.

"Sleeping?" Zong Ci asked subconsciously.

Yu Ruyi seemed to have discovered some new world, and she burst into a smile, "Zongci, don't think about it. He put me on the cabinet in the cubicle, but he didn't hug me to sleep."

Zong Ci felt that he had overreacted and felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he had to pretend nothing happened, trying to avoid this topic.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ruyi didn't give him this opportunity at all, and asked with a bit of gossip, "Zongci, you seem to care about... Shen Xi?"

Zong Ci frowned when he heard the words, and retorted without thinking, "I think his identity is not simple. At least, the spiritual power in his body is not simple."

"Just like that?" Yu Ruyi didn't believe it.

Zong Ci glanced at her, and asked indifferently, "Otherwise?"

Yuru thought that he had no intention of continuing to stay on this topic, so she moved her mouth tactfully, "What's the matter with Shen Xi's spiritual power?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Zong Ci recalled the previous few times, and his doubts deepened.

Shen Xi said that his spiritual power has always been weak and difficult to improve.

But last time on the top floor, at the critical moment of the impact of the blood spirit, he was able to burst out with strong spiritual power to protect himself.

Something even more special is today.The fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the night of the full moon.

There was a saying in ancient times that every full moon night is the time when the spiritual power of all things is at its peak, and it is also the best time for the monster race to increase their spiritual power and improve their cultivation.But nowadays, with the rapid development of human beings, all things in nature are reduced, and the ability of the monster race to improve its cultivation level is not as good as one generation after another.

Like Shen Xi, there are very few little demons who can increase their spiritual power on a full moon night.

"Even you don't know?" Yu Ruyi was really surprised this time.

To her, Zong Ci's cultivation level and age were unfathomable.

Now, besides the Monster Bureau, there are several rumored powerful bosses, and Zong Ci can be regarded as one of the best big monsters.

Now facing Shen Xi, who is still young as a demon, he actually said that he could not detect the other party's spiritual power?

"It seems that this cute little Shen Xi is really interesting." Yu Ruyi sighed.

Zong Ci was silent when he heard the words, he looked up at the sky, turned around and walked back to the shop.

In the cubicle, Shen Xi, who was overtired, lay on the soft cushion and fell into a deep sleep.Zong Ci stood by the door and did not approach to disturb him.He looked around the small cubicle, and for the first time carefully examined the living environment of the other party.

Not only crude, but pitifully small.

"...Hmm." Shen Xi hummed softly, and it tickled his heart like a feather.

Immediately, he turned around, exposing his tender belly, smacked his mouth a few times, and continued to fall asleep peacefully.

The corners of Zong Ci's mouth were raised, and a gentle smile finally flowed through his eyes.

He paused for a while, then turned around and saw Yu Ruyi standing behind her, looking like she was enjoying the show.

Suddenly caught.

The smile on Zong Ci's face froze for a moment, and then he pulled the corners of his mouth and returned to calm.

"I didn't misunderstand." Yu Ruyi deliberately threw out the sentence "There is no silver 300 taels here".

Zong Ci shifted his gaze and left silently.

Yu Ruyi stared at his back as he disappeared into the store, and then she returned to look at Shen Xi in the cubicle.After a long time, he let out a chuckle, "These two, there is something to watch..."

***

Two more days passed.

Shen Xi finally took care of everything and asked Liu Huo for help.Liu Huo got the news a long time ago, and immediately excitedly took Shen Xi to the Monster Bureau to register.

The Monster Bureau is hidden in the Nilong District, and it has always been a mysterious place for outsiders.

Shen Xi was very excited along the way.

Unexpectedly, the raging fire led him to a place—the Jindu Animal Herbarium.

Shen Xi looked at all kinds of ordinary human beings who came to visit, and his anticipation suddenly plummeted.

What about the high-end atmosphere that was promised?

"Xixi, don't be disappointed. In fact, this is just a sub-department of the Monster Bureau, which is specially used for personnel registration. The head office is in another place. It's almost closing time today. I'll take you to see it when I have time."

Hearing this, Shen Xi reluctantly nodded.

Liu Huo led him into a secret passage, and took the elevator up to the office area on the top floor.

The two spent some time registering their work files.

After walking out of the gate of the herbarium, Liuhuo asked, "Xixi, have you found a place to live? Or should you apply to the bureau and wait for arrangements?"

Hearing this, Shen Xi suddenly showed a smile, waved his hand, and said very chicly, "It's okay, I've already found a good place!"

"That's good." Liu Huo felt relieved, "Then I'll go first?"

Liuhuo invited a few friends to watch a movie tonight, and now it's time.

"Hmm, hurry up!"

The two bid farewell at the intersection. Shen Xi took out his mobile phone and made a call with excitement on his face, "Hello, Uncle Huang! Please send all my suitcases, I'll be there soon!"

Six pm.Zong Ci returned home, and not long after, the doorbell rang.

this point...

who is it?

Zongci paused for a while, and when he heard the doorbell ring again, he quickly approached and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, a momentary look of astonishment appeared on his face.

At the door, Shen Xi was staring at him excitedly, with an undisguised smile.He was still carrying two suitcases, and the most helpless thing was that he was actually holding on to a long signboard.

Zong Ci scanned the signboard from top to bottom.On it were written seven words that he was all too familiar with: Xixihaha Office.

The font that looks like a dog crawling is obviously written by Shen Xi.

Zong Ci frowned, suppressing the surprise and helplessness in his heart, and asked, "Shen Xi, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to join you, Commander Zong!" Shen Xi took a step closer, and answered naturally, "You told me yourself last time, you're free of food and shelter!"
