In the lounge of the Special Affairs Bureau, Shen Qingling was sitting alone on the sofa. She held her cheek with her white palms and looked at the wall with dull eyes, as if she was in a daze.
Lin Xi originally thought that Shen Qingling would be angry, collapsed or sad after learning the truth, but now it seems that her mood does not fluctuate much.
As before, there is a cute and kind heart hidden under the cold appearance.
Squeak.
Shen Qingling, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to her senses when she saw Lin Xi, who was wrapped in bandages, pushing the door open. The indifference on her face melted away instantly, and she asked with nervous concern, "Teacher, how is your health?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a minor injury."
This sentence came from the mouth of the bandaged man Lin Xi, and it was not convincing at all.
Shen Qingling's expression was stunned, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
The laceration on his palm was fine, but the last palm of the Zixia Mountain elder almost broke his shoulder blade, and the wound looked shocking and very scary.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have been paralyzed long ago.
However, Lin Xi’s recovery ability is very strong and he can resume swimming after a few days of rest.
"Sorry, it's all because of me." Shen Qingling felt guilty. These monks were here for her. If the teacher hadn't sacrificed his life, she might have been taken away by now.
As she spoke, the girl began to sob.
"This has nothing to do with you, you are just involved. The target of these people is the cat demon."
"You mean Hey Mi?"
Lin Xi: "..."
Does Mr. Yaoyao know that you gave her a cute name?
Didn't she give you a headshot with her cute little fleshy palm?
Lin Xi's mind pictured Ying Yaoyao's noble, cool and arrogant attitude. No matter how she looked at her temperament, she couldn't be compared to cuteness.
Shen Qingling recalled several encounters with the cat demon, but there were no useful clues.
The cat demon seemed to approach her on its own initiative.
Not only did he not do any harm to her, he also took action several times to block the killers sent by the Shen family.
"With such an arrogant character, the cat demon would take the initiative to get close to an ordinary person. Is there something about Shen Qingling that attracts it?"
Lin Xi thought for a long time but had no idea.
It may also be that Ying Yaoyao is too lonely in the underworld and wants to find a shit-sweeper for herself in the human world.
Shen Qingling just happened to be chosen.
Lin Xi thought for a moment, Ying Yaoyao proudly raised her cat's paw and placed it on Shen Qingling's body, and announced loudly, "From now on, you will be my shit-sweeper."
"Will those people before hurt Hemi?"
After Shen Qingling learned Ying Yaoyao's identity, she was not afraid or repulsed, but instead became worried about it.
"Don't worry about this. That cat demon is no ordinary monster. Those monks who dare to attack it are seeking death. Even gods can't save it."
After chatting with her for a while, Lin Xi felt more and more that this girl was like a transparent glass, with a pure and clear mind.
It's just that because the environment she grew up in was so bad, she was used to using indifference to protect herself from harm.
…
A few days later, Lin Xi took off the bandage and the injuries on his body had healed, leaving no scars at all.
"The wound medicine used by Jiu Ke is very effective. The most important thing is that these medicines are reimbursed by the unit and don't cost a penny." After feeling the physical condition, Lin Xi felt that his cultivation level seemed to have improved a little.
Opening the task panel of the system, there is still one day left before the deadline to complete the task, but the task progress is stuck there, with no progress at all.
How can this task be completed?
Lin Xi was confused. At this moment, Brother Hu came over and said, "There will be an impromptu meeting later. The section chief asked you to come too."
Meeting?
Lin Xi has long heard that many departments' daily work consists of meetings, and a meeting is held almost every day.
The number of meetings in the Ninth Section is not very frequent. After all, everyone is very busy and has little time to sit down and have meetings.
If there is nothing important, a plenary meeting will not be held.
When he walked into the conference room, most of the bosses from the nine departments were already there.
His spiritual consciousness swept over and found several unusually powerful auras.
Innate monk!
It seems that there are experts in charge of the Nine Sections, but these innate monks usually perform dangerous tasks and rarely appear here. Only during meetings can they meet the big bosses face to face.
Lin Xi randomly found a seat and sat down, quietly waiting for the meeting to begin.
"Section Chief, everyone is here." Li Huifang, dressed as a professional secretary, pushed up her glasses and said.
Chief Di nodded and said solemnly, "Well, everyone, I'll keep the story short. The third spiritual wave retrospect is coming."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's attention was focused.
When the first spiritual wave was traced back, the red demon star appeared in the sky. The spiritual energy of the earth revived and all living things awakened and embarked on the path of cultivation.
When the second spiritual wave went back, an ancient bronze door appeared on the demon star, and countless demons from the heavens and worlds descended. Humanity faced a huge survival crisis.
And now, the third spiritual wave retrospective is coming, and the world doesn’t know what changes will happen again.
"According to the estimates of the National Spiritual Energy Monitoring Network, the next spiritual tide will be traced back in one month. By then, there will be time and space nodes on the earth, connecting the earth and the demon star."
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room looked horrified and gasped.
The opening of the space-time node connecting the earth and the demon star means that the demons on the demon star can bypass the earth's protective layer and descend to the earth through the space-time node.
At that time, this will be a huge challenge for practitioners all over the world.
With the opening of the Ancient Bronze Gate, more and more demons gathered on the demon star. These demons devoured each other and evolved, and those who survived in the end were at least those with innate or above cultivation.
Among them, there will even be big bosses in the Golden Core realm.
Thinking of this, everyone felt heavy, and there seemed to be a layer of gloom hanging over the conference room.
But at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded in the conference room.
"Does that mean that we can travel to the demon star through time and space nodes?" Lin Xi raised his hand and asked.
Swish swish swish.
At this moment, countless sharp eyes fell on Lin Xi, as if they wanted to turn him into a hedgehog.
Little brother, your brain circuit is a bit hard to understand.
Are you planning to sound the clarion call for humanity to counterattack and kill demons all the way to the demon star?
Why don't you go to heaven?
Only Chief Di's eyes lit up, "This method should be feasible in theory. The Cultivation Committee also has a similar plan to send pioneers to go through the time nodes to investigate the demon star."
However, this plan is very difficult to implement. Once the space node is shut down and unable to return to earth, it will inevitably die.
"This plan is not within the scope of discussion at this meeting for the time being. Look at this map."
In the conference room, a map of Yucheng and the surrounding areas was projected.
Lin Xi noticed several cute cat paw prints appearing on the map.
"The places marked on the map are the locations where space nodes may appear." Chief Di Ke said seriously.
Well, these cat paw prints used to mark locations are very clever.
"The location of the space node was revealed by the cat demon. It seems to want to cooperate with us."
Di Ke's long words were astonishing, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Ying Yaoyao actually wants to cooperate with them?
"That's right, its condition is that we protect Shen Qingling. In exchange, it will mark the locations of several important spatial nodes." It seems that Ying Yaoyao has already been in contact with people from Jiuke.
Although he didn't know how Ying Yaoyao found the location of the space node, Lin Xi felt that it shouldn't bother to lie.
"Section Chief, could this be a trap?"
Those who are not of my race must have different minds.
No matter how close the Yingyaoyao is to humans, it is still a demon after all and cannot be completely trusted by humans.
"Probably not. That cat demon seems to have a very deep background, and it has other plans. But it's not a bad thing for us."
The conditions for winning against Yaoyao are not excessive, they are just protecting an ordinary person.
So, Dicko made the final decision.
The investigation mission came to an end for the time being, and at this time Lin Xi received a message from Qin Muran.
Chief Di fulfilled his promise and applied to his superiors to open a green channel for the Qin Group. He successfully obtained the development rights of the Flame Mountain and could start mining the spirit stones soon.
Thinking that he would be able to lie on the pile of spiritual stones and count money soon, Lin Xi felt a little drifting when he walked.
At this time, a golden exclamation point popped up in front of his eyes.
"The mission is completed, you have obtained the elixir of good fortune!"
