Yokai Office

When the patriarch heard Zong Ci's question, he was silent for a while, with a little hesitation on his face.

Zong Ci noticed this, and his expression was stern, "Why? Is it convenient to say?"

"No, it's not." The patriarch retorted subconsciously, and then he opened his mouth, "Shen Xi suddenly appeared in our village, and no one knows how he got here."

Zong Ci frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then calmed down.

"say clearly."

The patriarch slowly recalled, "I remember it very clearly. That day, there was a vision rising from the back of the mountain to the sky, and it was covered with dark clouds. In just ten minutes, many demons in the village felt that their spiritual power was inexplicably passing away. There were still a few years left. The young demon just couldn't stand it anymore and died."

The newborns of Yaozu are becoming more and more rare.

All of a sudden, there were three or four little demons gone, and everyone couldn't help but feel panicked.

"Later, someone shouted that a young beast appeared at the entrance of the village, and it was glowing white." The patriarch narrated unhurriedly, "Because of the vision, the monsters in the village did not dare to take it lightly and organized a group Help people out."

The patriarch seemed to think of something and hesitated.

"Go on."

"At that time, people who were close to the cub felt that the passing spiritual power had returned. Immediately afterwards, the white light emanating from the cub grew bigger and bigger, and even seemed to cover the entire village... Within 5 minutes, the village All the demons actually feel better, and even the vision of the back mountain and the sky has completely disappeared."

Recalling the situation on the roof that day, Zong Ci asked, "That cub is Shen Xi?"

"...Yes." The patriarch sighed and opened his mouth, "The village lost three or four little demons because of the vision. Everyone was flustered and angry for a while. I don't know who opened the mouth first, saying that it was this one. The cubs are the disaster brought by Shen Xi!"

Zong Ci laughed, his eyes were cold.

So, this is why Shen Xi was ignored by all the monsters in the village?

"Actually, I can feel that Shen Xi is not the source of the disaster." The patriarch looked at Zong Ci cautiously, and said in disbelief, "But in order to appease everyone, I have no choice but to acquiesce to this statement."

The patriarch still retained a bit of reason, and prevented everyone from killing Shen Xi, but sent Shen Xi far away.

But within a few days, the little demon in the village actually captured Shen Xi and treated him as a plaything.

The darkness of the previous few days has passed, and most monsters have regained their senses.

Seeing that after Shen Xi was captured and returned, everything in the village was safe and sound, and seeing that the little monsters liked to play, he didn't stop him.

"...until Elder Qilin came back and rescued Shen Xi."

As soon as Zong Ci heard the word Qilin, he immediately reacted, "The grandma Shen Xi said is Qilin?"

In this era, the mythical unicorns have long been hard to find.Unexpectedly, the grandma Shen Xi was talking about was actually one of them.

"Yes. The elder has always been gentle and kind. When she came back from seclusion, she happened to see Shen Xi who was dying, and saw that he was enlightened, so she raised him." Facing Zongci, the patriarch dared not hide anything.

Elder Qilin has always been respected by the monsters.

"One day, I personally visited the elder and told her about the natural vision and Shen Xi. Not long after, a friend came to the elder's house..." The patriarch said uncertainly, "I don't know what they talked about. What. But ever since that time, the elders have paid special attention to Shen Xi, until Shen Xi turned into a human being."

The patriarch told Zong Ci all these things in detail.

Zong Ci's heart was dim.He looked at the patriarch, and calmly said, "On the day of the natural vision, it was Shen Xi who saved you with his own spiritual power. Perhaps it was because of this that he was unable to transform into a human form."

Zong Ci had seen Shen Xi's spiritual power before.White, extremely pure.

Probably the same as the situation on the top floor that day, he used his own spiritual power to break through the evil spirits and evil forces.

It's just that there are a lot of demons in the whole village.

He unrestrainedly released his spiritual power to help the demons, and as a result, he was unable to transform for a long time.

But even so, it would still be treated as an evil thing by others.

***

Zong Ci frowned, and a faint anger rose in his heart, feeling worthless for Shen Xi.

How could the patriarch not know about this?It's just that I haven't said anything about it!

"It's our village people who are sorry for Shen Xi, and please ask the clan team..."

Zong Ci raised his hand, not wanting to listen to the polite words of the patriarch, "That's enough, let's save these words. Also, don't tell Shen Xi about today's matter."

Some truths, even if they are known, will increase sadness and grievance at best.

"Yes." The patriarch quickly agreed.

Zong Ci didn't say any more, turned around and walked towards the guest room where Shen Xi was staying.

In the guest room, Shen Xi was holding a glass of juice, drinking it with gusto.

"Team Zong, you're back!" Seeing Zong Ci appear, Shen Xi immediately put down the things in his hand, got up and ran over, "What did you and the patriarch talk about behind my back?"

"Nothing." Zong Ci raised his eyebrows.

Shen Xi, who couldn't get the answer, sighed, and muttered in a low voice, "Stingy..."

"However, you are qualified." Seeing him like this, Zong Ci added an extra sentence.

Hearing this, Shen Xi reacted, "Qualified? What?"

"You can officially become a member of the Monster Bureau." Zong Ci paused, and added for the first time, "And, my subordinate."

Shen Xi's originally disappointed face suddenly burst into intense joy, and he jumped on the spot, "That's great! Team Zong!"

Seeing his true feelings, Zong Ci also had a smile in his eyes.

"Have you had enough rest?"

"En!"

"Let's go." Zong Ci turned around and walked out first.As a qualified little follower, Shen Xi quickly followed without saying a word.

***

It was still early, Zong Ci took Shen Xi directly to the detective agency.

When Shen Xi stayed in the Inspectorate Bureau to solve the case, he occasionally passed by here.

But today, it was the first time he entered the interior.

The office area on the first floor is large, and all the decorations are well placed.The black and white indirect design looks simple and elegant, but it does not lose style.

It was working hours at the moment, and a dozen or so employees were sitting at their workstations, with the sound of tapping light keys and talking on the phone, one after another, and they were very busy.

Liuhuo noticed the two of them first, and ran up happily, "Team Zong! Xixi!"

"Liuhuo!" Shen Xi immediately smiled back.

Many people noticed this, Zong Ci simply said, "Pay attention, new colleague Shen Xi."

In a word, simple and clear, has always been his style.

Instead, Shen Xi laughed and answered, "Hi everyone, my name is Shen Xi, please take care of me in the future!"

Liu Huo simply put his shoulders on Shen Xi's shoulder, "Everyone, Xixi is also a monster, and she is one of my own!"

"Eh?" Upon hearing this, Shen Xi immediately asked, "Everyone...are you monsters?"

"Of course, many of them are colleagues from the investigation team of the Monster Bureau. It is because there have been no cases in recent years that Team Zong brought everyone out to find something to do." Liu Huo explained.

Soon, he leaned close to Shen Xi's ear, and said quietly, "A detective agency can be regarded as a kind of office, so you should work hard here! Maybe one day, you can get a stake in it and take your previous Hee hee haha, the firm will flourish!"

In fact, what Liuhuo said was purely a joke.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xi took it seriously.

He secretly calculated in his heart, thinking that if he invests in his own firm and enters this kind of place, he can't lose money no matter what!

Shen Xi glanced at Zong Ci quickly.

Maybe, at that time, he will be able to sit on an equal footing with Team Zong...

From small bosses to white-collar workers, from white-collar workers to senior management...

Fairy Winner!

The blueprint for the future planned in his mind was getting better and better, but Shen Xi couldn't control himself and laughed out loud.

Zong Ci saw the other party with a silly smile and a look of disgust in his eyes.

Suddenly, he regretted his decision to recruit Shen Xi.

"Liuhuo, arrange Shen Xi's work position, I'll go upstairs first."

"Ok!"

When Zong Ci went upstairs, Liu Huo took Shen Xi to the seat that had been prepared for him.

The table was tidy, and the two were sitting next to each other.

With all the employees present, Shen Xi was the most familiar with Liu Huo, so he was naturally very satisfied with this arrangement.

***

In this way, Shen Xi settled down in the detective agency.

As Zong Ci said earlier, when there is no case, it is indeed very idle.Shen Xi's ability to adapt is particularly good, and he quickly became familiar with the staff.

A month flew by, and it was the end of December in a blink of an eye.

This year, the first snow in Jindu came very late.It was not until the end of December that the first snow swept every corner of Jindu in a grand manner.

Snow fell all over the ground.

Looking around, it was all white.

Shen Xi got up early and opened the window directly. Looking at the scenery outside, he was very excited, "Team Zong! It's snowing!"

After all, he went out with his hands and caught a few snowflakes.

The cold wind outside the window hit, Shen Xi couldn't help shivering.

"Still close the doors and windows?" Zong Ci naturally saw his reaction and said.

"Oh." Shen Xi stood at the wind, and was frozen to death in an instant, and quickly closed the window.

He ran back to the dining table again, his ears and the tip of his nose were a little red from the cold.

Quite cute.

Zong Ci took a sip of warm water, saw that he was so cold, and asked, "Are you cold?"

"It's okay." Shen Xi replied with steam coming out of his mouth.He stretched his hands back, picked up the hat on the thermal padded jacket, and covered himself tightly, only revealing a pair of bright eyes.

"Team Zong, let's go!" Through the padded jacket, with a nasal voice, muffled softly, "I'm going to have a snowball fight after get off work today!"

The words are full of expectations.

As soon as the voice fell, a phone call came in.

Zong Ci glanced at it and picked it up, "What's the matter? Call me early in the morning?"

Fu Chenglin's voice came in, with a little urgency, "There is a case, and it's in another province. You guys come here."
