The sky is as blue as sea water, and the fluffy cirrocumulus clouds are like foam washed up on the shore.
The sun was blazing at twelve o'clock at noon, and the sticky steam filling the air made people feel as if they were taking a bath in slime, making their whole body uncomfortable.
"Slime... I haven't seen them for a long time."
Walking on the slightly empty street, Qin Ren was holding a Ms. Aixi cigarette in his mouth, seeming to think of some lovely old friends and mumbling to himself absentmindedly.
…
Ten minutes later, he slowly blew out a smoke ring and stopped at the foot of a teahouse.
Fengya fragrant tea.
Qin Ren looked up and saw the teahouse's plaque shining in the sunlight.
Feng Ya…
Why not Longya?
Implying that only women are elegant and men are indecent?
Qin Ren trembled all over thinking of this, his hands and feet were cold due to cold sweat all over his body on a hot day, and he instantly felt cooler. He then put out his cigarette and walked in, heading straight to the second floor.
"Near the window...black bag..."
After entering the teahouse, Qin Ren glanced at the anonymous text message on his phone and found the lady in the description at a glance in the corner.
"Hello, is this Bai Jie?"
"Hmm, you must be Qin Ren."
Qin Ren walked over and said hello. Miss Bai Jie stood up and responded with a generous smile, but her chin and apple muscles were a bit hard, and it felt like a knife had been used.
In contrast, Qin Ren's first impression on Bai Jie was almost perfect.
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, jade trees facing the wind.
Have a good posture and be neatly dressed.
Especially the melancholy eyes, which look vaguely like Keanu Reeves.
Perhaps in this world where little puppies are everywhere, there is no market for "melancholic uncles", but in Bai Jie's opinion, Qin Ren's appearance just hit her mark.
————————————
There was a cup of Longjing ordered in front of the two people's tables. Qin Renre was thirsty, so he picked it up and drank first. On the other hand, Bai Jie had to say a few more polite words:
"I've heard about Mr. Qin for a long time..."
"Cough!...Cough!..."
"?"
Qin Ren choked out as soon as he opened his mouth, which stunned Bai Jie.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Qin Ren waved his hands repeatedly, not wanting to say clearly that he heard "Mr. 91 Qin", so he took the initiative to take over the conversation:
"So, you are responsible for handling my exorcist retirement procedures?"
"Yep."
Since Qin Ren got straight to the point, Bai Jie stopped being polite and showed her eight professional teeth:
"Let me introduce myself first. I am the new director of the Exorcism Office of the Plane Administration. Mr. Qin. Do you need me to tell you about the retirement precautions for exorcists?"
"No."
Qin Ren waved his hand:
"I've been working night shifts for a month, and I finally have a day off today. I still have to buy cat food, watch a movie, etc. Let's do it quickly."
Exorcists are also human beings. Exorcising demons in private may be a social beast in public.
After all, the contracts of the Plane Management Bureau are all overlord contracts. The monthly symbolic subsidies from the Bureau are not enough to open memberships on major platforms.
Bai Jie started to take out forms, signature pens, voice recorders, etc. from her bag.
While taking it, I couldn't help but feel a little curious:
"That... Mr. Qin?"
"Um?"
"You work so much overtime, what do you usually do?"
"Work..."
Qin Ren narrowed his eyes and took a sip of tea:
"Coder, have you heard of it?"
Bai Jie nodded:
"Yeah, bald."
"996, have you heard of it?"
"Well, it's a blessing."
Bai Jie looked at the top of Qin Ren's head:
"But you don't look like a programmer?"
"Programmers and I are close friends. I graduated in architecture and work in a design institute. I am currently in 907."
907,12 plus 12 minus 9 times...
Bai Jie silently calculated in her mind that she was not sure, so she stopped worrying. She turned on the recorder, cleared her throat, and began to confirm some basic information with Qin Ren:
"Name."
"Qin Ren, Qin Shihuang's Qin, Xing Xing's Ren."
"age."
"twenty three."
"How long have you been an exorcist?"
"From my sophomore year to now... it's been four years. The contract I signed with your bureau is for four years."
Four years is considered a veteran experience in the exorcist industry.
After all, the risks are high, and there are not many exorcists who can still maintain their arms and legs and have good mental health after working for 4 years.
"What's the reason for retirement?"
"It's very simple. It's not a good job in the first place. In addition, I have been working for more than a year after graduation and I am getting busier and busier. I also have a sister who is studying in graduate school to support me at home, so now I just want to concentrate on being a social worker and save up some down payment."
.”
Qin Ren spoke slowly, then took out a cigarette:
"do you mind?"
"Please."
Bai Jie is one of the very few who likes men to smoke, and Qin Ren is also one of the very few who smokes and can keep his teeth white and clean.
Pure white, pure white…
Could it be a good match?
Bai Jie made a homophonic guess and turned the pen on her fingertips:
"What is Mr. Qin's superpower?"
"Superpower? And this one?" Qin Ren frowned.
"Yes, it is not required."
Even after they retire, most exorcists are reluctant to reveal their "unique skills" as housekeepers. This is human nature.
The same was true for Qin Ren, so he chose to skip this question.
"Okay, then..."
Bai Jie pulled up the chair and sat upright:
"Next, I would like to trouble Mr. Qin to recall which demons you have encountered in your exorcism career. The Bureau needs to compile relevant information."
…
[Demon Descendant], that is, [Descendant of the Demon Queen].
The universe is infinite and time and space are vast.
Before the 19th century AD, when the dimensional barriers were still weak, beings on various multidimensional planes had traveled across the world for intentional or unintentional reasons.
From the Classic of Mountains and Seas to the Bible, from ancient myths to folklore, their power and mystery have been recorded and spread throughout the world in various forms and versions.
But now, times have changed.
Affected by the older generation of exorcists and the living environment, those once-famous existences have long since died, and the closure of the plane barrier has also resulted in no more "newcomers" appearing.
The animals, plants, and even things that have been affected by their blood or abilities in the world still exist in various complex and diverse forms today, and they are called "Devils".
For example, vampires who inherit the bloodthirsty characteristics of the vampires but have an ugly and vicious appearance are the most common demons among contemporary exorcists.
…
"Demon, let me think about it, there aren't many."
When talking about the demons he had encountered in his exorcism career, Qin Ren also narrowed his eyes and then raised his fingers:
"First there are the vampires, Tai Sui, and Water Monkey, then there are the three sisters, swamp slime, forest slime, and lubricant slime. There is also a poisonous dragon, a human-faced spider, and one of them has been trained deeply
The squatting little ewe..."
It's said that there aren't many, but in fact there are all kinds of types of light.
At the end, Qin Ren simply took out his mobile phone and showed Bai Jie some photos, and the things in the photos were even more important:
octopus tentacles covered with eyeballs;
A metal cube soaked in blood;
A white jade leg with positive characters written all over it;
A mummy with Taoist talismans on it;
…
"This...these are demons with extremely rare types and extremely scarce information. Are there so many in Chengdu?"
Bai Jie opened her mouth in disbelief:
"Furthermore, it is said in the Bureau that Mr. Qin, you often exorcise demons without any skill, neither catching nor hunting, but the demons in Rongcheng are more secure than many other areas. Is this true?"
"It's a bit exaggerated, but it's almost the same."
"On your own?"
"if not?"
Qin Ren held a cigarette in his mouth and spread his hands calmly:
"No one knows how to exorcise demons better than me."
"..."
Well, it seems that I met the big boss this time.
Now Bai Jie seemed to know why the bureau had to give her another special task when the time came.
Talented exorcists like this are indeed worth retaining...
——————————
So, when all the information was almost filled out except for the fingerprint, Bai Jie put away the form, took a sip of tea, and began to try the second stage of communication:
"Mr. Qin, to be honest, regarding your retirement, the Exorcism Office of the Bureau wants to see if you can consider renewing your contract..."
"I won't consider it!" Qin Ren said with a stern voice and flatly refused.
Renew?
What a joke!
Qin Ren has been exorcising demons for 4 years. Not to mention it’s hard and tiring. He also broke up with his first girlfriend in college because of an outrageous exorcism. They haven’t gotten back together yet. Why do you still want him to renew her contract?
"Mr. Qin, you may not know that in fact, the situation in the bureau recently... no, it should be said that the entire world may encounter major changes, and global security may very well..."
"Poop, right? Safety, right?"
Code! Code within code!
It’s been 4 years and I’m still doing this...
Qin Ren rolled his eyes disdainfully.
I think back then, when he was just a sophomore in college, he was searching on "How to tactfully persuade your girlfriend to wear stockings" in his dormitory. A group of people calling themselves the Plane Administration suddenly broke in and said they had detected something on him.
Superpowers, great powers have been sent from heaven to this people, and the task of protecting the world is left to you.
It was so naive back then!
So impulsive!
"Guilty Crown" has just finished, and Qin Ren has nowhere to vent his passion!
So I signed a four-year contract to exorcise demons in the Chengdu area. If I break the contract, I will be silenced.
At first, Qin Ren didn't know what his "superpower" was, so he didn't dare to resist.
I found out later that Qin Ren already had a Stockholm mentality of "come and go", so he worked until the contract expired.
Now he wants to completely return to a normal life, but the Bureau is trying to catch him with the same method, so Qin Ren's attitude can only be Pixiu's ass - no way!
"But Mr. Qin, this time is really different."
Bai Jie doesn’t give up yet:
"Many demons around the world have been behaving strangely recently. There are rumors in the bureau that the dimensional barriers may have been loosened again."
"The plane barrier is loose..." Qin Ren raised his ears slightly and looked sideways at Bai Jie.
"Well, some people speculate that a new generation of 'Demon Ancestors' may come to those ancient alien planes, so the demons are restless! They also speculate that the coordinates of the gap where the plane barrier is loose may happen to be in Chengdu, so
…”
"Rumors? Speculations? Estimates? Possibility?"
Qin Ren interrupted Bai Jie with his fingers and looked at her expressionlessly:
"Miss Bai, do you think it's appropriate to PUA me with something you are not sure about?"
If the dimensional barrier is really loosened, wouldn't these things come to light again?
The Mayan prediction of the end of the world was also popular in 2012. What was the result?
In 1999, it was said that all people should keep this matter secret, but what?
Qin Ren was bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. He didn't follow Bai Jie's advice and said, "If this really happens, the earth will be destroyed." Then he left straight away. As soon as he came downstairs, the phone in his trouser pocket rang.
Got up.
"Tsk, don't suddenly have to work overtime again..."
Qin Ren took out his mobile phone and took a look. Fortunately, it was not the case.
The caller ID on the screen shows four large characters:
【Your Lady Queen】

(There are many female protagonists in this urban daily novel. Why not write a single female protagonist? Because there are too many characters to write about, and a single female protagonist cannot fit in one book. It’s fun to tell a short story. Everyone gets along well with each other and likes to support.
Next, I don’t like to leave quietly, it’s not easy for anyone who is working part-time)
