Chapter 38 Rest
The mandarin duck pot is placed in the center of the table, and a bamboo shelf flush with the table next to it is filled with various ingredients on three levels.
The tube bones are rolling in the white soup, and the light yellow corn floats with a fragrant aroma. The red soup on the other side is also stuffed with many ingredients, and the pepper skins are everywhere.
After pouring himself a cup of sour plum soup, Yan Jing sent a message to Xiaolian on his mobile phone and was distracted by watching the wall-mounted TV on the left front.
In order to appease the emotions of Shanqing citizens, various TV stations are broadcasting news about the bloody clothes and soul-seeking case.
"The case of blood-clothed soul-seeking was successfully solved last night. For specific details, please pay attention to our follow-up report..."
Taking out the mobile phone belonging to Luo Zhan from the torch space, a lot of information was pushed on the screen at once, including the arrival of the one million bounty, Wu Senyan's invitation to participate in the follow-up discussion of the Blood Clothes Soul Retrieval Case, and the discussion between An Ling and Zhao Qing.
Friend requests.
Yan Jing originally thought that it would take three or two days to get Luo Yan's set of fake certificates. However, the efficiency of the Special Affairs Bureau was beyond expectation. He got it as soon as he returned to Shanqing City. Apparently, he had submitted it yesterday morning.
When we came out, someone was already working on it.
Yan Jing was not interested in the discussion and refused directly. As for the one million bounty, he happily accepted it.
Now that he has become an Ember Apostle, the third uncle's overseas work will definitely not be able to continue. What's more, when he returned to Hong Kong last time, the third uncle also made it clear that he was getting older and planned to sell the ship, and Yan Jing had no interest in helping others.
This one million is enough for his next expenses.
The Special Affairs Bureau actually wanted to give more. As long as Yan Jing nodded, they didn't care if there was a zero at the end.
But as Yan Jing said before, he only wants his fair share, and one million copies is the reward for the Blood Clothes Soul Retrieval Case.
"Brother, I finally found you. I was almost hungry all the way here."
Xiaolian's voice sounded behind him. Yan Jing put away his phone and looked back. He saw a girl wearing a light blue dress and carrying a small shoulder bag coming in from the door.
"How do you look...didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
Yan Jing noticed that Xiaolian's face looked a little tired and the dark circles under her eyes were heavy, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, armed helicopters showed up last night. My classmates said that something happened in Shanqing City. The security personnel in the school were patrolling all night. There was no way to sleep."
After pouring herself a drink, Ruan Xiaolian said somewhat helplessly,
"What's even weirder is that during the morning class, the counselor told us that the school's entrance military training would go directly to a military base in Shanqing City so that we could receive real training... maybe we could still
When I touched the gun, the boys in our class howled with excitement for a long time."
"There have been a lot of things going on in Shanqing City recently. I guess the school also wants to take this opportunity to cultivate your ability to protect yourself."
Yan Jing actually knew very well that Shanqing University had most likely received official instructions. After all, it was a top university in the country, and it was normal for the Special Affairs Bureau to want to recruit some seedlings for training.
There are naturally no rules for the brother and sister to eat hot pot. Most of the time, Ruan Xiaolian talks about the interesting things she has encountered in the past two days while eating. For example, there is a girl in her roommate who likes to watch the live broadcast of the Detective. She feels that the world is going to be chaotic all day long.
While others chase stars, she chases supernatural events.
There were also those guys in college who fantasized about becoming extraordinary people, marrying rich and beautiful women, and reaching the pinnacle of life. She laughed from ear to ear just talking about it, saying that these people probably had bad minds.
Yan Jing, who was sitting opposite, also laughed dumbly and occasionally echoed.
"By the way, brother, my dad didn't contact you last night. He could only call me later to tell me that Uncle San's boat seemed to be sold. Let me ask if you have any jobs that you are interested in. He can help you in advance.
Zhang Luo, if you still plan to go to sea, my third uncle seems to have a way."
Picking up a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake, Xiaolian suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked,
"How long are you planning to travel to Shanqing City this time?"
"I'm not going to go to sea anymore. I plan to... how about I find a job in Shanqing City?"
Yan Jing originally wanted to stay there for about a week and then go back, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind.
the reason is simple.
Yan Jing realized that he had no reason to return to Guangchen City.
He had just completed a mission with the Special Affairs Bureau here, and had established a certain trusting relationship. Coupled with Wu Senyan, the captain of the ninth special affairs department, Yan Jing could still be considered to be "someone above".
This relationship will not be guaranteed if it is returned to Guangchen City. Needless to say, it will definitely be greatly compromised.
The guy who was good at voodoo that he met in the morgue before was enough to prove that the quality of the personnel in the Special Affairs Bureau was also uneven, and Yan Jing didn't want to end up self-defeating because of some bullshit.
"You want to stay in Shanqing City? Okay~"
Hearing that Yan Jing planned to stay, Ruan Xiaolian immediately cheered, paused, and said with some embarrassment,
"But there is no sea here, and all your abilities lie in the sea... Is it easy to find a job?"
"Haha, what's so difficult about this? There is always a suitable job."
It is impossible to work part-time. In fact, Yan Jing does not need to find a job at all.
With the Special Affairs Bureau here, the bounties on supernatural events alone are enough for him to spend as he pleases.
Looking for a job in Shanqing City was just a temporary idea. Yan Jing had no intention of continuing the topic and instead talked about preparing to walk around in the afternoon.
Between the otherworldly events and the group's visit to Yashan Village this time, Yan Jing could clearly feel that something was wrong with his mental state.
He is not an emotionless robot, and facing those terrifying ghosts one after another will inevitably make him nervous.
The whole person felt like a taut bowstring, with great pressure.
This is not a good thing. Everyone knows that if something is too strong, it will break easily.
On the way back last night, Wu Senyan also mentioned that even Ember Apostles need time to relax.
This is like boxing. The purpose of closing your fist is to prepare for a strike. If you keep extending your arms to fight, you will only tire yourself first and give others an opportunity to take advantage of you.
"We have to prepare for the upcoming military training in the afternoon, and I can't go with you...Brother, remember to go to Linjunya!"
"Linjunya?"
"Yes, a lot of strange things seem to have happened in that place recently. Many people from Shanqing City went there to take videos."
After pouring Yan Jing a drink, Ruan Xiaolian continued,
"Some people said that they heard strange roars in the mountains and forests over there. It was not hot at all, but very cool. My roommate also heard the news from some trail before, saying that there was something in the river at the bottom of the cliff.
Water monster!"
"That's it. I'll have to go take a look then."
Yan Jing didn't pay much attention to such rumors. If there was really a problem at Linjunya, the Special Affairs Bureau would have blocked it long ago. How could it be ordinary people's turn to go there and take videos.
Chapter completed!
