Yokai Office

——I protect my shortcomings.

Those three simple words fell heavily in Shen Xi's heart like a huge boulder.

Knocking out a crack in his loving heart, a trace of unknown emotion emerged in an instant, and spread to every corner of the body.

Shen Xi felt that his eye sockets were a little hot, he quickly lowered his head, wiped it with his hand, and covered it up.Only then did he put on an imposing appearance, and rushed to Zong Ci's side.

He just blew his nose and stared at Hu Ze, "Yes! You dare to hit me again!"

Hold your head up and chest out, very proud.

Zong Ci was provoked by his appearance, and asked, "You are so proud now, why didn't you make a move just now?"

Shen Xi looked at Hu Ze, leaned closer to Zongci's side, and said in a very low voice, "...I can't beat it. I'm just pretending to be a tiger, and I have you as my backer."

This is quite honest.

Hu Ze on the opposite side regained his composure, and was suddenly out of breath. In this village, no one knows that Shen Xi, an outsider, is a useless waste!

If it wasn't for his grandma's protection back then, he might have died a long time ago!

The more Hu Ze thought about it, the more angry he became, and he actually moved his hand directly towards Shen Xi.

Zong Ci had already sensed his evil spirit, and the moment he made a move, he used his spiritual power to hold him in place.

Hu Ze's whole body was bound tightly, and he was stuck in the same place, unable to move. In a moment of panic, he started to curse.

It was very noisy.

Zong Ci made no secret of his dislike, and directly sealed his mouth with an order.

Hu Ze struggled to speak, but couldn't even utter a single word.

"Team Zong, what happened to him?"

Seeing that Hu Ze's face was flushed, Shen Xi was easily subdued by Zongci, looked at him with adoration, and asked.

"Binding technique and silence technique." Zong Ci opened his mouth. He saw the emotion in Shen Xi's eyes, thought for a while, and subconsciously added, "If you want to learn, I can teach you later."

After finishing speaking, I added a reason in my heart.

As his subordinate, Shen Xi must learn some skills to protect himself sooner or later.

It is common sense to teach him these things by himself.

Shen Xi didn't know that Zong Ci had thought so much in secret, and when he heard Zong Ci's promise, he immediately smiled, "Okay! Teach me when you have time."

Zong Ci glanced at Hu Ze, then asked, "Do you want to call back?"

"Ok?"

"Members of the Monster Bureau's investigative team have nothing to do with being bullied outside." Zong Ci said this calmly.

Obviously, what he just said to defend his shortcomings was not a joke.

Hearing this, Shen Xi looked at Hu Ze who was still struggling to break free, and suddenly remembered those past events.

There was a little disgust in his eyes, neither serious nor serious.It's just that the tone of the opening was much lower, "I think, but my spiritual power..."

"Your spiritual power has been improved." Zong Ci understood what he meant, "Try to get lucky."

Shen Xi opened his eyes slightly, but did not doubt Zong Ci's words.He closed his eyes and raised his breath, as expected, a force slowly came out from the demon core in his abdomen, flowing along the meridians to all parts of the body.

He just turned it around, and a white spiritual power gathered in his hand.

Unlike usual, at this moment, he didn't feel strenuous.

Shen Xi noticed this situation, his face was full of joy, and he raised his eyes to share with Zong Ci, "Team Zong!"

"Well, I see." Zong Ci stretched out his hand and pushed him a step forward, and said seriously, "I don't need weak people by my side."

The entire demon world does not need the weak.

Shen Xi tightened his expression, pursed his lips and remained silent.

He looked at Hu Ze's face, and slowly, it coincided with the one in his memory.

Cruel without warmth.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, with firmness in his eyes, and directly hit Hu Ze with his spiritual power.

The spiritual power is not strong, but it still brings a little pain.

Seeing Hu Ze muffled in pain, Shen Xi's pupils trembled a little, as if he was disturbed.

"Continue." Zong Ci simply said two words, like an order, but made Shen Xi firm again.

Shen Xi hit Hu Ze with his spiritual power again.

"continue."

Two words, one action.

After a while, Shen Xi used his spiritual power on Hu Ze again and again as if to vent his anger.

The unbearable and painful past, with the attacks again and again, kept pouring out from the depths of my heart.But it was torn into pieces again, slowly disappearing into nothing, no longer bothering him.

Hu Ze couldn't stand up for a long time, and fell to the ground, making a weak cry for help.

Just like Shen Xi back then.

Zong Ci, who had been silent all this time, finally stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Xi.

Shen Xi's eyes were suddenly covered by the other party, with a slight cold touch, and then he heard the other party say, "Shen Xi, just let it out, don't lose yourself."

A few simple words can clear the clouds and see the fog.

Shen Xi gradually calmed down, but his expression was still a little dazed.The spiritual power in his body was consumed too much, he just felt a little weak and couldn't stand up.

"It's okay, don't get too excited, close your eyes slowly." Zong Ci supported him for a while, and only let go when he saw that he could stand up.

Shen Xi lowered his eyes, saw Hu Ze on the ground, and asked softly, "Team Zong, he..."

"I can't die, just keep it for a while." Zong Ci said lightly, looking at Hu Ze without any warmth.

It's just that when comforting Shen Xi, it seemed to be a bit more humane, "I'll take care of it for you, so you don't have to worry."

As soon as the words fell, a large group of people rushed over.Someone helped Hu Ze up, while the rest looked at Shen Xi and Zong Ci angrily.

The visitor is not good.

***

Just now when Shen Xi and Zong Ci were dealing with Hu Ze, they happened to be seen by a passing demon.

The monster was on good terms with Hu Ze, and when he saw Shen Xi involved, he ran to inform a large group of monsters.

This is the current scene.

Seeing this, Shen Xi couldn't help feeling emotional.

The monsters in this village are very united when they should be united.

"Zong team, the leader is the patriarch."

Back then, after Shen Xi was brought up by his grandmother, the patriarch gave his grandmother some face and didn't say much.

When Shen Xi was one year old, he was treated the same as the little demon in the same village.

The patriarch is still a kind-hearted person.

When he saw Zong Ci, an outsider, he was not in a hurry to question him.Seeing Zong Ci's extraordinary demeanor, he said politely, "Xiaoxi, this is..."

"Monster Bureau, Zong Ci." Zong Ci didn't ask Shen Xi to speak for him, and directly reported his family.

All the shouting monsters fell silent when they heard the word 'Monster Bureau'.

This influence is very powerful.

Zong Ci was not surprised by such an effect, and while everyone was quiet, he spoke again, "Shen Xi helped the Monster Bureau solve several difficult cases a while ago, and the director personally recruited him to work for the Monster Bureau. As a His superiors, taking advantage of today, came to investigate the situation of the employees."

How many, tricky, cases?

Director, personally, recruit him?

Zong team gave him a bit of a halo.

Shen Xi remained silent, swallowing nervously.

When the patriarch heard this, he was about to speak, "Zong..."

Zong Ci interrupted without even thinking about it, "Not long after we came, we met this drunk and injured Shen Xi. Attacking a member of the Monster Bureau's investigation team is not a big crime, but a trivial one." It’s not small. If you do something wrong, you should take responsibility for it, and deal with it in your own way... Patriarch, is there any objection to that?”

Shen Xi and the others were completely speechless.

Hu Ze hurt Shen Xi?I'm afraid I made a mistake, right?Hu Ze is the one who is injured now!

Shen Xi was the quickest to react, seeing the deflated look of the crowd, he couldn't stop laughing.

It turns out that Zong's team is so righteous in telling nonsense!

Just so handsome!

"Who knows, are you talking nonsense again!" Finally, a demon came to his senses, "The one who is injured now is Hu Ze!"

As soon as the words were uttered, all the monsters started to make noise.

A bit noisy.

Zong Ci said a word of terminology, and directly waved his hands to release his spiritual power.

Suddenly there was no sound.

Shen Xi has long been dumbfounded by Zong Ci's operations.

The only patriarch who survived the catastrophe was shocked, and just for a moment, so many monsters were silenced.

Such spiritual power cannot be underestimated!

Over the years, the patriarch has already heard about the big shots in the Monster Bureau.

Zong Ci of the investigation team has always been low-key, but he is not a monster to be provoked.

The patriarch thought for a while, and his attitude immediately became respectful, "I'm sorry for the clan, it's because of our poor eyesight. I hope you adults don't remember the mistakes of villains about what happened today."

Zong Ci glanced at him, but said nothing.

The patriarch understood what he meant, and turned to Shen Xi and said politely, "Xiao Xi, it was Hu Ze who did something wrong this time, so let me apologize to you on his behalf."

The rest of the monsters had already seen the power of Zong Ci, and after listening to the words of the patriarch, their expressions eased a lot.

The patriarch actually apologized to himself? !

Shen Xi glanced secretly at Zong Ci, half nervous and half excited, feeling more and more certain in his heart——

He is going to decide on the position of Zong team's little follower!

Team Zong is simply too good!The aura is [-] meters!

"Patriarch, I'm fine." Shen Xi rubbed her nose and said a little embarrassedly.

Zongci didn't want to embarrass the patriarch, so he unraveled the terminology on the demons.

The patriarch finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xi also knew that this little turmoil was over, and it was a bit complicated when he thought that it was caused by himself.

He pretended to be calm and coughed twice to ease his emotions.

Unexpectedly, he felt a little dizzy all of a sudden, and he took a slight step back before gaining a firm foothold.

Zongci sensed his small movements and understood his real situation.

Shen Xi only increased his spiritual power some time ago, but just now because of excessive use and consumption, it will take some time to relieve it.

"Patriarch, I have something to talk to you about." Zong Ci recalled the dilapidated wooden house not far away, and said, "Also, prepare a place for Shen Xi to rest."

Carry out the short-term protection to the end.

The patriarch didn't dare to disobey, he responded quickly and dismissed all the demons.

***

After a short while, the two arrived at the patriarch's house.

Shen Xi was arranged to rest in a partitioned guest room, where delicious food and drinks were served.

Called by Zongci, the patriarch walked to another place.

"Team Zong, I don't know what you want to ask?" The patriarch looked at Zong Ci and asked politely.

Zong Ci was not polite to him, and asked straight to the point.

"How much do you know about Shen Xi? Also, what is the identity of his deceased grandma?"
