Nocturnal

The woman looked not in good health, she was thin, and her complexion was abnormally sallow, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.Strangely, the tall middle-aged man sitting next to her didn't seem to notice this, and he was talking to her with a smile.The woman nodded in cooperation occasionally, her posture and expression seemed a little stiff.Qin Mochi felt that she looked like a bad actor, who was playing the role of a woman who was sitting upright.

What a strange feeling.

Qin Mochi couldn't help but look twice more, this time he made a new discovery.He saw a trail of black smoke drifting slowly behind the woman, very thin but very thick, it looked like something was burning behind her chair.And the black smoke was mixed with streaks of red, just like when he and Qingning met on the mountain road for the first time - Qingning said it was a murderous aura, which meant that the demon had already had human life in his hands.

Qin Mochi asked Liu Chen in a low voice, "Did you find out?"

Liu Chen nodded slightly, grabbed Qin Mochi's hand and pressed the small peach stone on his wrist.The peach pit trembled slightly, as if it had just been fished out of boiling water, with a scorching temperature.

Qin Mochi's hands couldn't help shaking.

Liu Chen turned over his hand and wrote in his palm: There are demons among those people in front.However, which one it is needs to be further confirmed.

Qin Mochi looked at him in surprise, so he couldn't see monsters?

Liu Chen noticed his expression, and wrote on his palm with his finger: What?

Qin Mochi didn't dare to speak casually now, there were not many people in the cafeteria, and they were all gathered together, so there was no guarantee that the monster would not notice.Then imitated Liu Chen's appearance, and wrote in his hand: It's the woman on the left.There is a black mist behind her.

Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly turned subtle.Of course, he knew what the black mist Qin Mochi was talking about.When he first entered the county, Li Feng cast a spell to observe the situation in the county.But he didn't expect that Qin Mochi, a new colleague of the demon cultivator who didn't know anything about the workflow, would be able to see it.When he thought of Qin Mochi's frighteningly high cultivation level, he felt that it was normal for him to be able to see it.

Qin Mochi continued to ask: Is she Liancheng's wife?

Liu Chen shook his head.He was also a little puzzled, when he checked the lizard spirit, he didn't find that it had a wife, only its own "residence certificate".

Liu Chen wrote in his palm: Anyone who has a lover or Taoist couple will have a note in the information.

This is the same as the need to mark "unmarried" and "married" in human files.Qin Mochi nodded, expressing his understanding.But I thought in my heart, could it be that this lizard spirit just found a mistress in the mountains?Then why does this woman look like she is just recovering from a serious illness?The two were injured together?Who did you meet?

The two communicated furtively, when a sturdy young man next to him turned his head and saw Liu Chen pinching Qin Mochi's wrist, he couldn't help laughing, "Are you two brothers?"

Liu Chen made up nonsense following his question without moving his eyebrows, "Yes, my cousin. It's the first time I go out, and I don't understand anything. Before going out, my aunt told me to go to the bathroom with me to watch him."

Qin Mochi, "..."

This is a lie...

The young man looked at Qin Mochi's tender face without any suspicion, and said with a smile: "This world is also chaotic, so you should be careful. It will be fine if you practice for two years."

Liu Chen echoed, "Yes, yes, my aunt said the same."

At this time, the staff standing aside clapped their hands, "Please be quiet, everyone."

The chattering chatter subsided slightly, and the tall and thin man sitting next to the woman... the banshee stood up, cleared his throat, and smiled kindly at the twenty or so strong laborers in front of him, "Before everyone came here, you must have I have inquired about the situation of our factory. I will not talk nonsense, I hope everyone can work hard, pass the probationary period smoothly, and become a member of our big family as soon as possible."

Qin Mochi applauded along with the people around him, thinking that this person's words were quite provocative.

"Okay, I won't say more." The middle-aged man pointed to a few young people standing aside, "Let them take you to the HR department to sign a temporary employment contract, and then show you around the factory. Assign trainee teachers and arrange dormitories. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them so that we can improve.”

Everyone continued to applaud.

Next, twenty people were taken to the Human Resources Department to sign internship contracts.People who practice Taoism cannot easily make promises. Qin Mochi heard Qingning say this, so he was not sure how to write it.It was Liu Chen who signaled him to look at the fake name on his contract, and then he made up a fake identity for himself.The internship period in the electronics factory is three months. If you pass the assessment at that time, you will have to sign a formal work contract.Therefore, the people in the personnel department didn't care much about the temporary contract they signed now. They only asked them to hand in the copy of their ID card as soon as possible, and put it away together with other people's contracts.

After leaving the personnel department, the staff began to show them around the factory.They are not employees of the electronics factory yet, and they are not allowed to enter the production area. They just looked around the factory building.Behind the production area is the warehouse, which is next to the back door, which is convenient for trucks to enter and exit.

Qin Mochi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiu's overly imposing warehouse, and quietly tugged at Liu Chen's sleeve.

Liu Chen looked at him questioningly.

Qin Mochi wrote on his palm: The lair of the lizard spirit.

And Liancheng himself was also inside.Even through the thick outer walls and boxes of products, Qin Mochi could still "see" the slow-moving figure exuding dark green light.The dark clouds all over the sky are like a huge and evil mushroom that appeared out of thin air, and the root of the mushroom is just behind the warehouse, where the dark green figure stays.

Liu Chen wrote on his palm: Don't look too much.

Some people are particularly sensitive to the sight of others, but monks are even more sensitive.Even if Liancheng was injured, he has been entrenched in this small county town and sucked up his life for two full years, and his demonic power cannot be underestimated.

Qin Mochi took two quick steps and followed the staff who acted as tour guides.

Behind them, the thick fog in mid-air seemed to be disturbed by something, rolled up slightly uneasy, and a middle-aged man's face slowly appeared above the warehouse, looking suspiciously at the people coming and going in the factory area below.

Everything is busy and organized, as it is every day.

Suddenly, it smelled a fresh smell, immediately showed a salivating expression, and pressed down in the direction of the smell.

Qin Mochi felt something strange right away, something brushed against his protective barrier.It was as if an invisible tongue had licked the heads of this group of people.

The metaphor made him feel a little sick to his stomach.

Liu Chen made an excuse to go home and discussed with the steward that he would come to work on time tomorrow morning, so he dragged Qin Mochi away quickly.He doesn't have as high a level of cultivation as Qin Mochi, but he has worked in the "Special Affairs Department" for a long time, and he has passed countless goblins and ghosts in his hands. His work experience is beyond the reach of a rookie like Qin Mochi.

The two walked with their heads down, until they returned to the hotel, Qin Mochi quietly pointed in the direction of the electronics factory behind him, and said to Liu Chen, "The black mist is very restless, turning up and down... Eh, there is a face inside."

"Is it Liancheng?" Liu Chen was curious about what he could see.

Qin Mochi shook his head, "I can't see it." Liu Chen and the others brought back only a one-inch photo of Liancheng when he applied for the "settlement certificate". The slightest resemblance.Qin Mochi thought of the aura of that woman during the interview. Could it be that there were two monsters in this mist?

Back in the guest room, Li Feng was still checking things with his notebook in his hand, Qing Ning was sleeping soundly in the quilt, his hair was all in a mess.

Two windows opened on Li Feng's computer screen, one was a picture of the guest room, and the other was some data analysis.Liu Chen pointed to the window on the left and said, "The picture you transmitted in real time."

"So advanced?" Qin Mochi was surprised, "Then Brother Li can see what I see?"

Li Feng smiled and nodded.

Qin Mochi asked again, "That woman is the person who was sitting in the leftmost row in the front row when we first entered the cafeteria..."

Li Feng asked jokingly: "The one you stared at for a long time?"

"Yes!" Qin Mochi ignored his joke, "Does Brother Li recognize her? She is also a demon, and the aura on her body is very similar to the demonic aura above the factory."

Li Feng was slightly taken aback, he wasn't at the scene, and the transvestite couldn't be seen just based on the screen that was passed on.

Li Feng took a deep look at him, and began to capture the woman's profile picture, and entered the database for search and comparison.This process takes a little while.

Li Feng stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the table, "How about doing it tonight?"

Liu Chen agreed, "I agree, it should be sooner rather than later. This monster has a high level of cultivation, and he always pays attention to the people who come to Lan County. There are too many variables after a long time."

The two looked at Qin Mochi together.

"I have no objection." Qin Mochi hastily stated that he didn't want to stay in this place for too long, he had been away from home for such a long time, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him.

Li Feng nodded, "Liu Chen and I will be divided into two groups, and Xiao Qin will guard the periphery."

Qin Mochi was about to speak when he heard a crisp voice say, "You all go in, leave the outside to me."

The three of them were startled, when did Qingning wake up?

Qing Ning flapped her wings, landed lightly on the table, and began to carefully trim its feathers with its little red beak, "Divide into three ways, and force the lizard spirit into the wasteland behind the factory. The place is huge, and you can use it well." open."

The three looked at each other.

Qin Mochi hurriedly said: "This is my uncle, he is very capable."

Qing Ning raised her head proudly, "Hmph."

Both Liu Chen and Li Feng were frightened by the word "Senior Uncle". Since when did Bird become Leopard's Uncle Senior?From the perspective of the food chain, it is completely reversed, okay?As for the identity of Qin Mochi's demon cultivator, they think it's normal. The "Special Affairs Section" has a tradition of recruiting demon cultivators with good background and good performance. They have a bear spirit there, and they are more familiar with legal procedures than humans.

"Oh, good." Li Feng's eyes straightened a little, of course he could tell that Qin Mochi, as a demon cultivator, had stronger mana than him and Liu Chen combined, and naturally stronger than that lizard in the factory, but he was just afraid of him For the first time in battle, I don't know how to fight against the enemy.And this...Mr. Bird is still his senior uncle. Compared with him, his ability may be higher or lower, so there is really nothing to worry about.As for other matters, since Mr. Bird is a foreign aid that Qin Mochi recruited by himself, he will naturally have to deal with issues such as remuneration.The funding of their branch is very tight...

Li Feng coughed twice, "Then I will trouble Master."

Qing Ning pointed at Qin Mochi with the tip of her wing, "I don't have much experience against the enemy, but the protective barrier is very good."

Qin Mochi, "..."

Liu Chen was the first to wake up. Seeing Qin Mochi's slightly embarrassed look, he secretly thought that this little leopard was really cute.

"Then find a place to eat first." Li Feng gave Liu Chen a sneaky look, his claws were almost touching Qin Mochi's head, don't think he didn't see it, "Take a rest, leave before midnight."

Qing Ning was the first to express his opinion on this issue, "Go eat that grilled fish." It came out of the restaurant yesterday and saw the grilled fish restaurant on the way back to the hotel, but it was too full at that time, so it had to reluctantly give up eating again Meal thought.

Qin Mochi suppressed a smile, "Okay, I'll treat you." There was no way, Qingning was too good at eating, so it was embarrassing for others to invite him.

Liu Chen and Li Feng had no opinion on what to eat, so they went out of the hotel to eat.

Before leaving the house, Qing Ning seemingly inadvertently whispered in Qin Mochi's ear, "Spirits like lizard spirits are afraid of fire, and this problem can't be corrected for many years."

Qin Mochi's eyes lit up immediately. On the way down the mountain, he had just learned a little formula that could convert the true essence in his dantian into true essence fire.Although the fire was not strong enough, it was the most proficient spell he had used so far.With the ability to use spells, he will not be just a moving enchantment during the capture operation.

Qin Mochi felt that he had never heard such pleasing words, and was immediately elated, hugged Qingning and kissed wildly, "Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle."

Qing Ning dodged left and right, and pushed his chin with the bird's claws, "Presumptuous! Let... ah..."

Liu Chen turned his head, just in time to see this scene, he was a little worried, "Could it be that he wants to eat his uncle... I don't know how long this little leopard has been transformed..."

"Worry." Li Feng slapped him on the head, "Didn't you see that they were playing? I think he has a pretty good personality."

Liu Chen couldn't help but take another look. Seeing Qin Mochi holding Qingning on his chest, looking happy, he relaxed and waved at him, "Hurry up."

After eating and drinking enough, the three of them went back to the hotel to rest.

Qin Mochi deliberately set the alarm clock on his phone, but this was his first time participating in the task of the "Special Affairs Division", so he was inevitably nervous, and woke up before the time set by the alarm clock.When he opened his eyes, he saw that Liu Chen was still sleeping on the sofa, but Li Feng had already woken up, and was sitting on the only chair in the guest room, carefully wiping a short knife.

One foot long, three inches wide, sharp blade.

"Hero Knife." Li Feng turned his head sideways, with a hint of determination in his gentle brows and eyes, "I am a hero when I hold it. Eliminate demons and demons, and protect the common people."

"It's so bold." Qin Mochi praised, and wondered if he should also get himself a useful weapon?I don't know what the rules are for this matter, you can ask Qu Zhi when you go back.

Li Feng smiled, kicked the sofa, "Da Liu, get up."

Qin Mochi asked him curiously, "Does Brother Liu have any weapons?"

Liu Chen winked at him, "You'll find out later."

The two checked each other, and Qin Mochi had nothing to prepare—except for taking his little uncle with him, and going to the toilet one more time.
