Jiang Yue's sudden question made Luo Chu feel nervous for no reason, while Lao Dong looked confused.
“Impossible! The corpse puppets have all received orders and cannot stay without permission. If you don’t believe me, try blowing the bamboo whistle.” Old Dong raised his ears to listen, but did not hear any footsteps.
Luo Chu also didn’t hear anything unusual.
Jiang Yue frowned: "There were footsteps going up the stairs, they seemed to be human beings."
Suddenly, Jiang Yue remembered something. He took out his phone and looked at the time. It was already past ten-thirty, almost eleven o'clock.
At this time, shouldn’t it be the kid from Star City No. 1 Middle School who is coming home?
Why did you come back so late?
What's even worse is that when he comes back now, his mother is no longer there. The door lock of his house has also been broken. It is obvious that something is wrong.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, it is the most rebellious and easy time to get into trouble.
If you tell him the truth directly, it is impossible for a child of this age to be stable, and he is afraid that he will collapse on the spot, and may even ruin the overall situation.
If her mother's soul had not been destroyed and was attached to the corpse, she could barely cover it up.
But now, his mother is just an empty corpse. A normal person can see the problem at a glance. It is impossible for a middle school student not to see the problem.
"Luo Chu, go down and stabilize him first, and then let him go upstairs later."
“Old Dong, you are on guard above the 20th floor. Don’t let any zombies descend below the 20th floor. Especially don’t appear on the 18th floor.”
Although Luo Chu didn't know what Jiang Yue was planning, he had no choice but to listen to Jiang Yue's arrangements.
The Zimu Ghost Banner remained on the 30th floor. Although the ghosts returned to their own bodies, they did not dare to stray too far from the Zimu Ghost Banner.
So generally one would not leave easily.
Jiang Yue went up to the twenty-ninth floor first and found the body of the female owner of 1814. He found her mobile phone in her pocket. It was probably not used, but it still had more than 30 batteries left.
This corpse puppet made a murmuring sound from its mouth, its movements were stiff and numb, its eyes were hollow, and there was no luster of life at all.
After Jiang Yue unlocked his phone, he sighed secretly and turned around and went downstairs.
I then went to room No. 1814 and tidied the room a little.
After doing this, Jiang Yue sighed.
Since acquiring the copying skill, he has never copied a woman. This is forcing him to dress up as a woman!
Jiang Yue didn't want to do this at first, but the ghost's reluctant eyes before it died always appeared in his mind, and he looked at the thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy in the photo...
In a daze, Jiang Yue remembered himself several years ago.
The female owner took out her mobile phone and didn’t browse too much. She opened WeChat and found that the person on top of the chat was her precious son.
Although this child grew up in a single-parent family, he is still sunny. There are not many chat records between mother and son, but they are all about sharing the fun of life.
The young man’s name is Xiao Zijian, he is thirteen years old.
It wasn’t until the sound of the boy’s footsteps came from the corridor that Jiang Yue suddenly realized that he activated the copying skill. When he appeared in front of the mirror again, he had become a capable middle-aged woman.
The sound of footsteps came to the door, accompanied by a "Mom".
“Mom, Mom? What happened in our apartment? Why is there a power outage? Is there someone stopping me from going upstairs?”
Jiang Yue's scalp was numb and he just felt extremely embarrassed.
He never imagined that he would be someone else's mother in this life...
He said bravely: "Zijian, why did you come back so late?"
“I did an impromptu test at night and was delayed for a while, an hour later than usual. I originally wanted to come back tomorrow morning, but I couldn’t get through your call. I was worried something might have happened.”
Young people of this age have just entered the stage of pubertal voice change, and their voices sound a bit scratchy, but their concern for their mother is not pretentious.
I have to say, this kid’s intuition is really strong.
But Jiang Yue naturally couldn't tell him the truth, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, an old woman, what can happen? It's getting late, hurry up and go to bed. I will be on a business trip early tomorrow morning, and it may take a long time. During this time
, just stay well at school."
This is also the only solution Jiang Yue can come up with now.
Just be steady first.
Even if you want to tell him the cruel truth, you have to wait at least this week until you find a suitable opportunity.
“Going on a business trip? How long will it take?”
“I can’t say for sure, if it’s fast, it will take a few months, if it’s slow, it may not be three to five months. By the way, has your No. 1 Middle School organized a physical test recently?”
The young man immediately geared up: "Mom, I was just about to tell you that we are going to take the physical test on Sunday. I have a strong feeling that I will succeed this time!"
“Yeah, you can definitely do it!”
"Mom? Don't you believe it? My premonition this time is really strong, and I seem to feel that my body function has become stronger. Mom, I said that one day, I will become the number one genius in Star City. Mom, you know
? Now the first genius in Star City is in our No. 1 middle school. He is a senior from the sixth form who came back from the capital. His name is Wu Dingchao. I saw him on the playground today. He is really handsome and beautiful. He looks good everywhere he goes.
It’s the focus.”
Jiang Yue looked at the beaming young man and couldn't bear to interrupt.
The young man said: "Mom, our No. 1 Middle School has been on fire these years. The whole Star City says that Yangfan Middle School is the best middle school in Star City now. Our No. 1 Middle School is the oldest middle school, but it is looked down upon by others. Are you angry?
Aren't you irritating? This time, senior Wu Dingchao has spoken, and he must take away the limelight of Yangfan Middle School. Jiang Yue, Li Yue, senior Dingchao will definitely crush them one by one! In the exchange competition, he will beat them to pieces.
Regain the prestige of our No. 1 Star City."
All right……
Jiang Yue couldn't help but want to touch his nose, that's all for being a mother.
It’s really dumbfounding to be a mother.
However, this young man has not even reached the second grade, he only made the first grade. He is at the age when young people are passionate and easy to get into trouble. It is not surprising that he behaves like this.
If a young man doesn’t even have any sense of honor or passion, then he is really useless.
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "It would be best if one day in the future, you trample that senior Wu Dingchao under your feet. That would be wonderful."
"Mom, this is your son's ideal. Just wait and see, this day won't be too far away!" The young man chuckled and stretched lazily, "Mom, don't tell me.
La, I’ll take a shower and go to bed first.”
Children at this age are heartless after all.
After being so impassioned, I forgot about the questions I had when I entered the door. I washed my hands in a hurry, opened the cot, said hello to Jiang Yue, and fell asleep.
On the other hand, Jiang Yue was dumbfounded.
It wasn't until the boy fell into a deep sleep that Jiang Yue entered the room, randomly picked up a few pieces of clothing, packed them into a suitcase, and left the room quietly.
Since you have to disguise, you should simply disguise yourself in a decent way, and hide it for a while if you can.
It would be better if this kid could really awaken during the physical test and find another opportunity to tell him the truth.
This is also the only goodwill Jiang Yue can do at the moment.
Send the suitcase upstairs for Old Dong to put it away.
Jiang Yue specifically told Lao Dong not to disturb the young man 1814.
Once Master Liu died, the signal shielding in this apartment was naturally lifted, and mobile phones can now be used.
Power is also fully recoverable.
Everything is close to returning to normal.
“Sir, when will your friend come?” Old Dong was still a little worried.
“It’s already here.”
Jiang Yue waved, and Yu Yuan's figure flashed out from the corner. He came here immediately after receiving Jiang Yue's call, but he didn't get Jiang Yue's permission, so he kept hiding.
After handing over the situation, Jiang Yue left with peace of mind.
Luo Chu went downstairs a long time ago and smoked a cigarette in the car. Thinking back on the experience of this night, he had many thoughts.
The more strange events he experienced, the more he felt powerless and inadequate. Luo Chu was also surprised by Jiang Yue's rapid growth.
Although the Action Bureau has a high position, it is increasingly difficult to cope with the increasingly complex situation with its original tools in the face of these strange events.
If this continues, the capabilities of the Operations Bureau are not worthy of the position, and I am afraid that it will really become useless.
The Action Bureau must speed up the absorption of new blood and must quickly change its thinking. If it continues to use the same old methods, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Action Bureau cannot keep up with the situation at all.
Jiang Yue opened the car door and saw Luo Chu smoking a cigarette and looking worried, so he made a joke.
“Isn’t Luo Chu scared?”
Luo Chu shook his head bitterly, suddenly stared at Jiang Yue seriously, and asked: "Xiao Jiang, tell the truth, those ghosts attacked me before, why was it that I was unscathed, but those ghosts were injured? What happened? I know it must be
You moved your hands and feet."
At that time, Luo Chu actually asked Jiang Yue what was going on, but Jiang Yue did not answer directly.
At this time, the crisis was completely resolved. Luo Chu thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. As the director of the Operations Division, it sounds pitiful to say that although he also has some self-defense methods, they are actually the same old things. How many can he use?
It’s impossible to predict its usefulness, and it can’t keep up with the new situation at all.
But when the ghost jumped on him, he seemed to be severely burned by the high temperature. That scene left a great shock to Luo Chu.
If someone in Taluo doesn't have this ability, then it must be Jiang Yue's work.
After all, in Panshiling, Luo Chu had witnessed with his own eyes how terrifying the old Jiang family’s inherited magic circle was. Jiang Yue must have inherited some special ability.
Jiang Yue could see that if he didn't say something today, Luo Chu would probably have a hard time getting through this.
I immediately closed the car door, sat on the passenger seat, leaned my head on the back of the chair, and sat in a very comfortable position.
"Luo Chu, there is something I have always wanted to say. Your action bureau has been established, but after so long, you are still playing the same old tunes. It will definitely not work if it goes on like this."
Luo Chu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not like you don't know that official matters, general direction matters, must be reported and approved at all levels. Those who can make our own decisions, we generally make our own decisions. We still have to listen to the superiors for big decisions.
Yes. But if you look back now, it actually didn’t take more than a month for the strange era to arrive. Who would have thought that such a big change would happen in just one month?"
“In normal times, one month is indeed a short time, but in the strange era, one day may be a new change.”
Jiang Yue didn't mean to provoke Luo Chu, of course he could understand the difficulties of the action bureau.
A country or a large department, no matter how fast you act, still needs a process. This is different from individual actions.
A person, traveling lightly, can turn around at any time.
Any decision made by a country or a department will definitely require argumentation and a process. It cannot be as rash as an individual because the room for error is completely different.
Luo Chu sighed: "Xiao Jiang, what did you do to me before?"
This question, Luo Chu probably wants to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.
“It’s actually a blessing to ward off evil spirits, which can last for 24 hours. Normal evil spirits cannot attack. Of course, I’m not sure what its defense limit is.”
"Only 24 hours?" Luo Chu was a little disappointed, and then laughed at himself, "Should I take advantage of the time and solve two more strange incidents?"
“You just work 24 hours a day without rest, how many weird events can you handle?”
“Oh, so we need outstanding talents like you to join us.”
"Forget it, if I don't join you, we can still cooperate happily. If I really want to become one of you, I must adhere to principles and disciplines in everything. If someone like Commander Yan comes again, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it.
It offends the superior officer. I will not fall into this kind of trap."
Jiang Yue’s attitude was as resolute as ever, so Luo Chu was naturally helpless.
“Xiao Jiang, why would a warlock like Master Liu prefer to collude with evil forces, do all kinds of bad things, and harm nature, but refuse to surrender to the country and serve the country?”
Luo Chu was very troubled. During this period, he had witnessed several such cases.
The warlock from the kindergarten before, including this Master Liu, and the group of people who threatened Yu Yuan in the abandoned building were all without exception.
Jiang Yue was quite tolerant: "Luo Chu, you also have to look on the bright side. Aren't there people like me, Sangou, and many other awakened people who are also on your side?"
“Indeed, if there is white in this world, there must be black. We really cannot expect everyone to behave themselves, pay attention to the feelings of family and country, pay attention to national justice and so on.”
"There is another question that you have considered? What kind of status will these capable people get if they really join the government? Can they exchange for glory and wealth? Can they be respected? Will they be subject to all kinds of jealousy? Frankly speaking
, these warlocks are ordinary people, most of them have unruly temperaments. They may not want to join the officialdom, but they have doubts and worry that their value will not be reflected, and they may even be constrained everywhere. To put it bluntly, it is a channel for advancement, and their status is glorious.
The problem."
"Let's talk about Master Liu, this awesome guy! If he really wants to join your Operations Bureau, maybe a deputy director of your Operations Bureau can transfer him at will, or even give him a look. But if he doesn't join you, you will have to spend a lot of money.
Pay him a big price, say nice things to him, and use all kinds of flattery..."
This is not Jiang Yue's spiel. Jiang Yue and Luo Chu witnessed how the Action Bureau tried to please Master Liu, whether it was flattery or low-profile.
Keep a distance from you and maintain a sense of mystery, and you will be respected and praised everywhere.
Joining you will not be a good idea. Instead, you will be judged on your face, listened to sarcastic remarks, and the high remuneration will be just a cloud.
No one is a fool. This choice is not difficult to make.
