On the bustling street, a newspaper seller was riding a bicycle, walking around the busy city, selling today's copy of "Qingdu Daily".
"Three days ago, a huge explosion occurred at the 'Haozhiwei Authentic Hot Pot Restaurant'. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time. Fifteen people were slightly injured and no one died!"
"An official document from the police department states that the explosion was most likely not caused by human intervention. It is initially suspected that it was caused by an explosion on the kitchen stove."
"However, based on current on-site clues and evaluation by relevant experts, the possibility of man-made crime cannot be completely ruled out at present. The police arrested a suspect at the scene and has handed it over to relevant agencies for processing."
"Suspect: Niu Moumou, 2.12 meters tall, the rest is unknown."
…
The Qian Kingdom is now in a time of peace and prosperity.
If there is an explosion that is publicly reported, it is considered big news.
Many people spent a small amount of money to buy a daily newspaper from the child, and read the newspaper with relish while eating breakfast.
Someone carried a newspaper and hurriedly entered the toilet.
Newspapers are a good thing. They can not only relieve the boredom of squatting in the pit, but also save paper when the work is finally done.
…
It was a coincidence that I was in a hot pot restaurant that day.
On the surface, Yi Lin was treating a few people to hot pot, but secretly she was fishing.
After all, four monsters gathered together, and the strong smell of hot pot ingredients could not cover up the smell of monsters on these people.
In fact, what the "suspect" Niu didn't know was that before the incident, Yi Lin secretly greeted Miaomiao, Ju'er, and Gou Ge.
When eating hot pot, don't suppress the evil spirit. Add as much flavor as you want.
No, if Taiyi fishes, those who wish will hang themselves.
The fish are coming.
The fish that came turned out to be an acquaintance, Miyazu Hoshi, whom we had met that day.
After Yi Lin disposed of the bomb, he quickly restrained the ashen-faced Miyajin Hoshi and used "Spirit Swallowing Fire" to absorb his memory.
Immediately afterwards, before the police arrived, he disguised himself as "Second Level Demon Hunter Miyazu Hoshi", took away his tools, and transformed himself.
Then, Butter didn't react at all. He only heard a "pain" and his vision went dark. When he came to his senses again, his two-meter-high body was directly caught in the net.
The net used by the demon hunter is not an ordinary net. It is blessed by Buddhist teachings. The harder the butter struggles, the tighter the net becomes.
At the end, the monster-catching net, like fishnet stockings, wrapped the butter all over its body until its flesh was hidden.
Spirit-swallowing fire is an equipment ability on Yilin's parasitic spirit-possessed weapon [Laughing Mask]. Generally speaking, he seldom uses it, and it is not very smooth to use, which makes the process a little rough.
Miyajin Hoshi, whose spirit was burnt by the "Spirit Swallowing Fire", was crying and had a silly expression afterwards. He was held hostage by the dog brother and jumped out of the window and took him away.
Yilin relied on the fragmented memory fragments and dragged the immobile bull's head directly to the Qingdu branch.
…
Ever since Young Master Taiyi sneaked into the Monster Hunting Division.
A week has passed.
Before Yi Lin's next instruction, Miao Miao, Gou Ge, and Ju'er were all on standby.
They hid their breath and ate and drank in the city.
For some reason, these days, they feel that there is nothing wrong with being human.
At first, Miao Miao and Ju'er looked at the innocently smiling Monster Hunting Division in the room, and thought about whether they should share the meal while the young master was away.
Unexpectedly, Brother Dog looked at the ugly man with disgust, and said with a cold face: "Let's go... make hot pot."
They did not notice that their eating and living habits were gradually changing.
…
at the same time.
In the circle of Qingdu Monster Hunting Department, a rising star is rising.
That second-level demon hunter Miyazu Hoshi, since that day when he unbelievably captured the "unregistered" bull demon alive in the branch, he has been cheating to the extreme.
In just one week, Miyajin Star launched attacks one after another, day and night, sweeping through the demon circle in Qingdu.
For a time, the demons hiding in Qingdu were all in danger and terrified.
They have a well-known trick for hiding in the city.
That is to "disguise" as a human being and live in the city.
newspaper boy,
street vendors,
dance hall sister,
station conductor,
Mr. Park,
With these inconspicuous identities, it is very possible that you, me, and him are all monsters.
They have lived in the human world for decades, and have long been deeply familiar with the ways of "Gou" and know how to survive in the human world.
There is a little trick:
For example, every time you eat people, you can't eat them too frequently, you can't stay in a fixed circle, you can't take advantage of the food reserves around you, etc.
But this newly promoted second-level demon hunter somehow learned their identities, and silently, like a demon, descended from the sky and captured them one by one.
…
One month later.
"Congratulations, Miyazu Hoshi. From today on, you are a first-level demon hunter!"
"Miyazu Hoshi" lowered his head, and a handsome male secretary carefully handed a wooden box to the rising star in front of him.
As Miyazu Hoshi, Yi Lin worked hard for a month and finally got promoted and reached the peak of the demon hunter.
Who knows how he got here this month!
He caught more than 70 monsters, large and small!
This performance directly topped the list of monster hunters in Qingdu!
One month!
On average, there are about two left every day.
As a result, recently, when he met other familiar colleagues in the branch, his colleagues looked at him strangely.
They all seemed to be saying: Why didn’t I roll you to death?
anyway.
The Qingdu branch of the Monster Hunting Division is located in a fifteen-story "skyscraper office building".
Yes, due to the limitations of construction technology in this era, a building that can be fifteen stories high is already considered a skyscraper.
On the surface, this office building belongs to a leather goods company, but secretly, it is the Qingdu branch of the Monster Hunting Department.
The office building has three underground floors, and there are hundreds of monsters in cages blessed with Buddhist teachings.
The bull's head was also locked inside.
Because the cow's head is very strong, it was given special care. It took three layers of cages to keep the butter tightly shut.
During this period of time, I felt aggrieved by butter.
He was detained for a whole month.
With an expression that showed no emotion or anger, Yi Lin took out the golden demon hunter badge from the box and pinned it on his chest.
The golden demon hunter badge represents the noble status of a first-level demon hunter.
In the system of the Monster Hunting Department, there are only a handful of demon hunters who can reach the first level, but it can be said that they are rare.
Including "Miyajin Star", there are only seven first-level demon hunters resident in the Qingdu branch.
Yi Lin took the badge and turned around to leave.
"Mr. Gong, please stay."
The male secretary smiled and bowed, stopped the "calm" Miyajin Hoshi, and said with a smile: "The chairman of our branch, I want to meet you."
"Chairman?"
Yi Lin secretly sighed "finally" in her heart, but her face showed just the right amount of "doubt": "Why?"
"For specific circumstances, please ask Mr. Gong to move to the chairman's office on the top floor."
hehe.
…
The chairman is a monk.
A true monk.
Yi Lin had already found out.
But the monk's cultivation is not comparable to that of ordinary demon hunters. If the exercises practiced by demon hunters are "simplified" Buddhist exercises, then this chairman is an out-and-out Buddhist.
The eminent monk, from afar, could even make Yi Lin fearful.
Can't see through.
If you practice Buddhist Kung Fu to the extreme, you can realize all kinds of wonderful magical powers.
Before he died, Zen Master Tianxin could even see through his past life at a glance and revealed the identity of "Lin Yi".
It can be seen from this that true Buddhist monks and half-hearted demon hunters cannot be generalized.
Yi Lin was led by the male secretary to the top floor of the fifteenth floor.
An old monk wearing a red cassock, with shining eyes, was sitting behind a pure wooden desk, staring intently at the "Xinxing" who walked in through the door.
Success or failure depends on this.
Yi Lin stepped forward step by step. Buddhist masters know how to read faces, so it depends on whether their "cloud body" can hide it from the chairman's eyes.
If he can't hide it, Yi Lin has other methods, and at worst he can be soft instead of hard.
The worst result is that he has wronged Brother Butter this month and made him suffer in vain.
The chairman stared at Miyazu Hoshi's face for half a minute.
Half a minute later, a smile appeared on the old monk's face: "The future life is to be feared."
Yi Lin clasped her hands together: "I've met the chairman, and the chairman gave me the award."
"As a cultivator, if you are not used to your status in the secular world, you can just call me 'Jingkong'."
"Okay, clear."
The air in the room was silent for a moment.
Yi Lin said again: "Okay, Master Jingkong."
"Haha," Monk Jingkong smiled cheerfully, with a gleam in his eyes: "Since you have become a newly promoted 'first-level' demon hunter, I have an urgent task that I want to entrust you to complete."
