The 8th day after the Nightmare Beast mission ended...
"Girl, come over for breakfast, I'll make a bowl of noodles for you!" Thirteen sat on the ground in front of the coffee table in the living room, eating instant noodles while calling to Lin Xi who was going downstairs.
"Eat your sister! You bastard in the dark cooking world! Does anyone know how to use canned oranges for instant noodles? The seasoning only contains sugar?!" Lin Xi yelled, she had already been fooled once yesterday, Thirteen
Unwilling to listen, he tricked her into saying that this is the method of instant noodles in Guangdong, which has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Lin Xi just had an injury and his head was not working very well. Otherwise, if you think about it for a moment, you would have discovered that Shisan was lying. Where did the instant noodles come from hundreds of years ago? As a result, Lin Xi only took one bite, and the sweetness made her sick to her stomach.
I almost vomited it out.
"It's such a pity that you won't eat such delicious noodles. Anyway, I made breakfast for you, so don't say I didn't take care of the sick." Thirteen bought it at a cheap price and ate rock candy oranges while watching the news.
Instant noodles.
"Now let me break the news. In the early hours of this morning, another prisoner death occurred in Tianshui Prison. After forensic identification, the prisoner was blindfolded and accidentally hit a pillar while playing hide-and-seek with his fellow inmates, causing a cerebral hemorrhage and death. According to relevant reports
Data shows that as early as 3 months and 1 year ago, two prisoners died respectively, and the cause of death was also due to peek-a-boo.
The prison said that these three incidents were all sporadic, but they also reflected the monotony and depression of inmates' daily life, which is why they resorted to hide-and-seek games to relieve their loneliness.
The popularity of the hide-and-seek game in prisons has greatly alleviated the depressive emotions of inmates, but it has also made it more dangerous and difficult for inmates to serve their sentences.
Prison authorities should actively improve their management methods, transform passive management into active management, spend huge sums of money to purchase silk handkerchiefs, and replace the riskier hide-and-seek game with the handkerchief throwing game to protect the lives of inmates.
The international news continues below. Abe recently announced that he will pay homage to the Pure Land Shrine..."
Thirteen turned off the TV and continued eating instant noodles.
"What's the world like these days? You'll lose your life just by playing hide-and-seek while serving a sentence." Standing at the door of the kitchen, Lin Xi sighed while drinking milk.
"I've seen a lot of ghosts, do you still believe such an innocent statement? As an investigator of the Underworld Bureau, you must instinctively equate all the bizarre events around you with your work." Thirteen began to show off the teacher's words again.
Shelf, at this moment, his cell phone rang.
Without saying a word, Thirteen's expression changed from calm to complicated, and he didn't even eat any noodles after hanging up.
"Let's go, here comes the work, take me to the Underworld Bureau." Thirteen said and put on his old windbreaker.
Lin Xi didn't quite understand what Thirteen meant, but he still acted as a driver and drove the red mini to the headquarters of the Underworld Bureau located in the central city of the imperial capital.
It was specified that Thirteen should pick up the work alone. Lin Xi rarely had time to familiarize herself with the supporting facilities of the Underworld Bureau. This time she was not so eager to visit Black Eden, the public library of the Underworld Bureau.
It became a good place for her to spend time.
Thirteen took the elevator alone and pressed the button on the top floor. Not all investigators could come to this place. There were as many as 500,000 investigators in the Underworld Bureau, and more than half of them would never have the chance to press the button in their lifetime.
Click the top button. Not just because most of them died young, but also because they weren't special enough...
Thirteen thought he was lucky. This was the third time he went to the top floor. The previous two times he went there to quarrel about becoming a regular employee. This time Thirteen came to take on a mission.
The task distribution system of the Underworld Bureau is more professional and systematic than the mail distribution of the Post Office. The distribution department will calculate the equivalent performance points of the tasks and randomly select suitable people from among the investigators to perform them. The first principle of distribution is "the most suitable
". This appropriateness contains many meanings. One is that the performance points are reasonable, the executor's status is satisfactory, and the strength is just one range higher than the target ability.
This avoids the situation where tasks are monopolized by high-end investigators. You can also continue to hone the strength of investigators through tasks, practice with them, and become stronger.
Thirteen has been a temporary worker for 8 years. He has also received some task instructions issued by the rationing department, but they are all dealing with some 1-star and 2-star imps. It is regarded as a spare time activity to give performance points. However, Thirteen has not heard of it yet.
Do I need to go to the director’s office to pass a mission?
"Could it be that the old guy wanted to hide the rules on me in the name of a mission?" Thinking of this, Shisan's anus tightened, but then she thought, "But if I can really become a full-time employee... maybe it would be a good choice to sacrifice?" Her cheeks turned red.
The elevator arrived with a ding. The young secretary wearing gold-rimmed glasses at the door looked up at Thirteen, without getting up, and said coldly, "Go in, the director and the head of the human resources department are waiting for you."
It's a pity that Thirteen was still looking at the secretary's curvy figure. When he suddenly saw that this woman had a finger and was using two keyboards to type documents at the same time, Thirteen immediately retracted his eyes. The alien's temper was out of control.
Shisan wouldn't dare to mess with someone who was going to end his life.
Pushing open the double office door, just as the secretary said, Wu Zhu and Wang Nu had already been waiting at the desk. Looking at the calm smiles on their faces, Thirteen's anus tightened again.
"Please take a seat. What would you like to drink, godson?" The princess said and already got up and went to the bar. Yes, the director's office really has a bar.
"Godson? Didn't you say you don't call him that in front of outsiders?" Shisan pulled on his collar and stuffed a piece of toffee into his mouth.
"It doesn't matter, I'm blind and can't see anything. Whatever you want to do is safe." Wu Zhu said very generously.
"Stop talking in circles, just say it if you have something to say. You are so attentive, it makes my balls hurt." Thirteen is like a martyr who sacrificed his life generously.
"Thirteen, did you watch the morning news?" Wu Zhu said with his hands crossed in front of him.
"Is it the news that Mr. Abe announced that he will visit the Jōgoku Shrine?"
"No, it's the previous one, the news that a prisoner died hiding in Tianshui Prison."
"As expected, it was an evil ghost who did it. There's no reason? Don't you usually assign this kind of task to investigators?" Thirteen wondered.
"We can't leave it to the investigators." The princess shook her giant peak and walked back to Thirteen, handing a glass of lemon juice with n spoons of sugar to Thirteen, "Because the one who died was from the Underworld Bureau.
investigator……"
"..." Thirteen remained silent.
"Not only this incident, but also two people who died three months ago and one year ago were also investigators of the Underworld Bureau. They were one third-level human investigator and two fourth-level human investigators.
Name." Wu Zhu's words made the atmosphere tense.
"These three investigators were stationed in Tianshui Prison to investigate the mysterious deaths of many prisoners, but they eventually died there. In fact, as of today, in the past year and a half, the number of deaths in Tianshui Prison has been
The number has reached 98. Officials have been suppressing the incident from the outside world. The reason why these three people were in the news is because the news of their deaths was deliberately leaked to the media.
It means that the guy who did it has discovered the difference between them and other prisoners. The murderer can distinguish who is the investigator..." The princess introduced softly.
"Evil ghosts won't do such troublesome things. This is tantamount to provoking the Underworld Bureau." Thirteen replied coldly.
"The most surprising thing is that all the deceased people had no external injuries, but their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, kidneys and five internal organs were all missing." The princess added.
"Master of the art of raising ghosts with five internal organs?!" Thirteen gasped.
The art of raising ghosts has been recorded in various documents at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, among which Thailand’s head-lowering art is the most popular. Ghosts like the sword niche of Thirteen are also among the captive ghosts, but most of the ghosts in the demon-hunting weapons are objects.
Spirits are spiritual objects that will not grow or change after they are formed, which is different from the way captive animals and human ghosts play.
In Thailand, the so-called raising ghosts is to keep the souls of humans and animals in captivity. Generally, ghosts start with insects as their initial feed. In the later stages, as the ghosts grow bigger and stronger, they become more and more powerful. What they need is
The feed will be upgraded accordingly, from insects to raw meat, from raw meat to live chickens, live pigs, live cattle, and even live humans...
Once the captive is unable to provide enough food for the ghost he is keeping, the ghost will directly bite the captive, which is an extremely sinister technique.
The five internal organs of the human body contain all the spiritual power of human beings. They are the starting point of life and the end of human beings. The five internal organs correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and are integrated with Taoism.
Culture is in it. The evil ghost who can really feed the internal organs of a living person, and the person who dares to do so... Just thinking about Thirteen makes me feel terrified.
"I won't play." Thirteen flatly refused, "You guys are trying to play me to death! You have already killed two level fours and one level three, and you want to kill more temporary workers.
Right? It’s become such a big deal that even sending a bunch of ninth-level investigators is not too much, right?
If you are more lazy and leave it to that bitch in Qingcheng, why not just drop an atomic bomb and destroy it? Anyway, it will be interpreted as an oil pipeline explosion in the end!"
"Calm down first. There is a reason for you to go on this mission. Judging from the current situation, the ghost breeder lurking in the prison may have access to our list of investigators. If this is the case, no matter who we send
If you go, you will end up sending people to death.
Therefore, I can only choose you, because you are a temporary worker and have not yet been entered into the personnel file of the Underworld Bureau. To the outside world, you are no different from ordinary people." The princess reassured.
"Ordinary people? I've been with you for 8 years and I'm still just an ordinary person? Have you seen the scars on my body? It's enough to go around this underworld bureau, and I'm still an ordinary person?! You actually said
I am an ordinary person, why do you order me to do such dangerous work?" Thirteen launched an offensive of making jokes.
"Indeed, the mission of the Underworld Bureau has always been voluntary. You have the right to give up. Even if you are a temporary worker, this right will not be deprived." Wu Zhu sighed deeply, "This mission has been determined.
, it must be handed over to temporary workers who are not investigators. Since you are unwilling to do it, you have to find someone else to take over. By the way, I remember that there are only two temporary workers in the Underworld Bureau now. One is you, and what is the name of the other one?
Coming?"
"Old immortal, are you threatening me?" Thirteen said with a ferocious look on his face.
