don't be cheap

"Demon?" Shen Bei and Gu Xiaoyan looked at Qi Ao in confusion.

"That's right, it's a demon." Qi Ao nodded, pointing to the black smoke on the painting, "This is a typical characteristic of a demon."

"Then what will this demon do?" Shen Bei asked.

Qi Ao shook his head, "No. The demon is just an illusory form without any power, and his appearance is just for warning."

"Warning what?"

"I don't know, in the history of the demon world, demons only appeared twice." Qi Ao looked at them and said slowly: "And those two times, the demon world was almost destroyed."

Shen Bei didn't take a deep breath, "Then it appeared in the human world this time, wouldn't it be..."

Qi Ao seemed to have a headache, "I'm not sure, but it's definitely not a good thing for him to appear. The only difference this time is that we have discovered it now."

He looked at Gu Xiaoyan, "I didn't expect Xiaoyan to see it, which bought us a lot of time. The previous two times, they only saw the demon at the last moment."

Gu Xiaoyan also frowned, Shen Bei asked him worriedly: "Son, how did you see this?"

Gu Xiaoyan looked at Qi Ao blankly, Qi Ao pondered for a while, and said: "It should be related to the restraint on it before, it's a blessing in disguise."

Shen Bei sighed: "I don't know if this is good or not."

Qi Ao clapped his hands, "Don't worry, the devil won't hurt anyone, Xiaoyan will be fine."

Gu Xiaoyan also nodded sharply at Shen Ben, "Dad, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Shen Bei can't help it. Now that the matter has come to an end, he has no choice but to accept it or not. He can only take one step at a time.

Taking advantage of the lack of crowds at night, the three of them went to school again.The security guard who was possessed by the demon looked like an ordinary person except for a cloud of black smoke all over his body.

From Gu Xiaoyan's point of view.

Qi Ao walked over to chat with the security guard, Shen Bei and Gu Xiaoyan hid aside, Gu Xiaoyan took out his notebook and quickly drew what he saw before him.

Shen Bei looked at Gu Xiaoyan's earnest sketching, and kept thinking in his heart, do all monsters have their own external artifacts?

Leopard painting, this picture is a bit messy.

After a while, Shen Bei took Gu Xiaoyan to join their conversation.

……

"How is it?" Qi Ao asked while starting the car.

Gu Xiaoyan handed the notebook to Shen Bei, "The three of us contacted him, and there was nothing unusual about the black smoke."

Qi Ao turned his head to look at Shen Bei while taking advantage of the red light, "Can you rest assured now?"

Shen Bei smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Qi Ao was about to say something, but was interrupted by the phone ringing.After hanging up the phone, he said to Shen Bei: "Please ask Xiaoyan for leave tomorrow, you take him to the General Administration, the Director wants to see him."

Gu Xiaoyan was a little unhappy when he heard it, and said with a puckered mouth, "I've only been to school for half a day, so I'm going to ask for leave."

Shen Bei laughed loudly, "Don't worry son, there will be plenty of time for you to go to school in the future."

***

Special Administration, meeting room on the top floor.

Gu Xiaoyan was questioned by the bosses inside, while Shen Bei sat outside and waited bored.

Ji Hong stepped out of the elevator in a hurry, and saw Shen Bei kept looking into the meeting room.

"Shen Bei, what are you doing here?"

"Gu Xiaoyan is inside." Shen Bei stood up and asked Ji Hong, "Can you take me in?" He quietly pointed to the security outside the door, "They won't let me in."

"No problem." Ji Hong asked Shen Bei to follow him, took his work card to check with the security, pointed to Shen Bei and said, "This is my assistant, I will make an important report later."

One of the security guards bowed to Ji Hong, "Group Leader Ji, please come in."

The door was pushed open, revealing a long corridor.Ji Hong told Shen Bei that this is the top secret conference hall of the Special Administration, and no outsiders are allowed to enter except for core personnel.

Shen Bei nodded: "Why don't you go out today?"

"As soon as I was about to leave, I was notified to come up for a meeting. What happened, why are you here?"

"Yesterday Gu Xiaoyan saw a demon."

Ji Hong paused and looked at Shen Bei in surprise, "Demon?"

Shen Bei nodded affirmatively.

"Oh my God!" Ji Hong patted his forehead, walked forward at a faster speed, and kept muttering, "Why are there so many shitty things recently!"

Shen Bei heard a trace of uneasiness from Ji Hong's words, frowning and followed his pace closely.

The corridor was a bit long, and Shen Bei saw the real meeting room door after turning two big bends.

The two walked in gently and sat on the outermost edge. Shen Bei saw that Gu Xiaoyan was sitting in the center, with a seriousness that was incompatible with his age on his delicate face.

Gu Xiaoyan was facing the door, his eyes lit up when he saw Shen Bei coming in, Shen Bei quickly gestured for him to sit down, and then he obediently focused on the director's face who was speaking.

"... Just now I received news from the demon world that a huge landslide occurred in Death Valley. I'm afraid this is the reason for the demon's appearance."

Someone in front asked, "Was Jiao born?"

"I'm afraid it is."

Everyone present, except Shen Bei and Gu Xiaoyan, gasped.Shen Bei typed on his mobile phone and asked Ji Hong: What happened to Jiao?

Ji Hong immediately explained to him: The last time the demon world almost perished was thanks to the dragon in Death Valley. Thousands of years ago, the demon king gathered the power of the entire demon world to suppress it and seal it in Death Valley.That Jiao hated the demon world very much, and now that it is reborn, it is afraid that it will be a bloodbath again.

Shen Bei swallowed silently, thinking, the demon world might be in chaos now.

He continued typing: Will it come to the human world to make trouble?

Ji Hong said: There is a magnetic field in the human world, even if it reaches the human world, it will not be able to exert any magic power.

Shen Bei just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, but was frightened by the following words: But this world is balanced, and every link in the food chain has an inseparable relationship. Once the demon world is destroyed, the human world will never be as stable as it is now.

Only now did Shen Bei realize the seriousness of the matter more deeply, and he was a little worried.

Although when I was young, I would fantasize that I would become the kind of hero who saves the world and all mankind, but the result of listening to their discussions now is that being a hero has to pay a price.

That being the case, he is still willing to be an ordinary zookeeper.

"It's impossible for Jiao to break the seal by himself. Someone must have tampered with it. The demon world has already begun to trace the source of the matter. The king ordered us to strengthen the investigation of the little demons who have no records. We must catch them all as quickly as possible. They've messed up too much, and they must be stopped before something irreversible happens."

The director then arranged a series of detailed tasks, so that all departments should hurry up and implement them, and then dismissed the meeting.

"Dad." Gu Xiaoyan walked to Shen Bei's side and called him.

Shen Bei patted his head, "It's all right, let's go back to school in the afternoon."

"Ah."

***

Qi Ao came back before lunch, and the four sat in the cafeteria to eat together.

"Jiao?" Qi Ao let out a low cry, rubbing his temples with a headache, "I'm really tired now."

Shen Bei said to Ji Hong: "Aren't you a dragon, can't you beat Jiao?"

Ji Hong raised his index finger and shook it, "No, no, that's not the case. That dragon is very special, it was born and bred, and its demon power is extremely powerful. In the entire demon world, it may be difficult to find a few opponents."

"Then according to what you say, it should be the king of the demon world?"

Qi Ao gave Shen Bei something to eat, and urged him to eat it quickly, before continuing: "It is recorded in the history books that it has a perverted temperament, is fierce and cruel, if he is allowed to be the king, he will only attack the human world and unify the world. .”

"But this world is indivisible. The absence of any link will lead to the destruction of the whole. Therefore, it must not be the demon king."

"My dear! Can you completely destroy him?"

Ji Hong shrugged, "I don't know. Thousands of years have passed, and no one knows how powerful it is now."

Qi Ao smiled, "Now is not the time to care about it, the mess in the human world still needs to be cleaned up!"

"That's right." Ji Hong pursed his lips, "I'm going to the beach in S City right after this meal, and I'm afraid I won't be back until half a month later."

Gu Xiaoyan, who was eating hard, raised his head to look at Ji Hong when he heard it, and said, "Uncle Ji take care of himself!"

"Oh, baby Xiaoyan, do you want to go with uncle? It's fun over there."

"Uncle, I want to study."

"Let's go, learn something..."

The deep topic suddenly changed to Ji Hong "abducting" Gu Xiaoyan to skip class to play with him, Shen Bei kept laughing and scolding him not to lead Gu Xiaoyan badly.

The atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed.

Qi Ao was sitting facing the cafeteria door, when he saw Wu Yin coming in, he immediately waved to stop him.

"It's rare to meet you, let's sit together." Qi Ao said with a smile.

With a gloomy face, Wu Yin looked at Shen Bei and asked, "Your?"

"Hmm." Qi Ao nodded.

Wu Yin's face became even more serious, "Goodbye!" After saying that, he got up and left.

Ji Hong laughed so hard at the side, Shen Bei saw that handsome black-faced man with a puzzled expression on his face, "Who is he?"

"Wu Yin, the airspace team leader of the special team, was transferred to country W before, and he was just called back." Qi Ao said.

"Why is that uncle unhappy?" Gu Xiaoyan asked, with some salad dressing on his mouth, looking cute.

Qi Ao wiped his mouth with a piece of paper for him, and then said: "The reason why he was transferred abroad was firstly because of work needs, and secondly because his wife settled there, and his wife and husband followed suit. But This time he is temporarily transferred back, and her wife won't be able to leave for a while, so let him come back alone. People who can't leave their wives feel bad."

"Seeing the two of you as a couple makes me even more upset, hahahahahaha." Ji Hong followed Qi Ao's words and said, "When that guy didn't leave before, he showed affection in front of us all day long, so now he's alone! Make him mad! Hahahahahahahaha."

Shen Bei laughed, he didn't expect that Wu Yin, who looked mature and stable, actually had such a childish temper.

……

After a few people laughed and quarreled for a while, Shen Bei bid farewell to Qi Ao and Ji Hong, and accompanied Gu Xiaoyan back to school.

When I walked out of the school gate, I received a call from Song Yiheng: "Xiaobei, I'm at the Capital Airport, let's have a cup of afternoon tea together later!"
