Meeting the big fox at Lao Yao's office at noon on Friday was not the only thing that made Zheng Qing feel bad about that day.
night.
At the meeting of the Seven Deadly Sins, he received another annoying news.
The current "Mamen" received a commission from the previous "Mamen", hoping that the Seven Deadly Sins can obtain some biological information of the big elves through the school channels.
As an organization with loose management and strict rules, under normal circumstances, most of the time, only those who are guilty of crimes will be exposed to information entrusted by external tasks, while the devils in the organization will only do things like "information exchange" and "resource sharing".
A more appropriate example is that the Seven Deadly Sins are like a cafe. Every member is a guest who comes to drink coffee. Everyone can hear the chatting of other guests in the house and see the task information listed on the small blackboard behind the bar, but there is no strict obligation to do anything. It’s just like those coffee shops that have been running for a long time, when customers get familiar with the store manager, they sometimes bring snacks and drinks to the store to share with others. The Seven Deadly Sins does not restrict members from issuing external commissions.
Sometimes, Zheng Qing feels that the operation model of the Seven Deadly Sins has some similarities with the business model of the CAA (Innovative Artist Brokerage Company) in the United States - flat management, equal cooperation, and customer list sharing - each member who joins the Seven Deadly Sins can make the entire organization serve it; each member is also providing his own resources for the entire organization.
More importantly, this relaxed management model gives many old members who have withdrawn from the Seven Deadly Sins a chance to get inseparable from each other. They can maintain indirect connection with the Seven Deadly Sins through the relationship between the ‘predecessor and successor’. Similarly, they also provide indirect support for the Seven Deadly Sins.
It's like a spider web.
The Seven Deadly Sins are several "horizontal silks" that form the core skeleton, and generations of retired members are "horizontal silks" that spread outward, forming a loose and flexible organization.
Get back to the point.
The orange light only illuminated the withered bonsai in the center of the table, and the black cat squatting beside the bonsai. Of course, Zheng Qing did not let the black gem cat take his place to take his place in this risky place. The candles hanging upside down on the ceiling are clustered together, with different lengths, spitting out golden candlelights, and occasionally making a whip in the quiet room.
Around the oval conference table, seven "devils" figures were shrouded in the leaping shadow of candlelight, and there were only masks that covered their ears and stole bells, which looked particularly clear.
Just as the black cat is still wearing its mask that looks like a shelled egg, although other devils are now accustomed to using deformation techniques to hold meetings, they have not lost the fine tradition of wearing masks.
It seems that a mask is not enough to bring them a sense of security.
“The word ‘get’ is used somewhat subtlely.”
After hearing Mammon's new commission, Samar, who had always been talking, was the first to unexpectedly speak, commenting in its rough and harsh voice: "—It sounds like the ex Mammon doesn't recommend that we use some coercive means?"
Maybe because cats and dogs conflict.
After hearing Samar's words, Ms. Leviathan, the Persian cat sitting diagonally opposite him, let out a crisp and pleasant laugh: "Ha? Force? Do you know where those big elves live?"
"It's really not a good idea to try to attack the guests of Qingqiu Mansion." The white-skinned and black-flowered pig Beizeb also hummed and added his point of view.
"The guest is still the master, this is indefinite." Lucifer, wearing a bat mask, tightened his wide flesh membrane wings, and a low tremor came from the sound device under his jaw.
The black cat listened silently to the devils' discussions.
Until everyone shut up.
It tentatively threw out its first question: "——From everyone's opinion, are the three little fox girls whom Mamen mentioned who were sent to the Fringe Academy a few days ago?"
He made the three words "Little Fox Girl" particularly clearly.
He couldn't help but feel worried.
You know, because they are worried that these little guys will be coveted by wizards with bad intentions, and because their identities have not been fully certified by the alliance, Zheng Suyi and Ersan entered the Fringe Academy as the Qingqiu clan.
But it seems that many people know their true identities?
The devils in the shadows looked at the black cat in the middle of the table, their eyes full of meaning.
"Dear, sinful lord," said Asmod, the black goat with shiny fur, in a slick voice similar to its fur. "Have you ever seen a fox with wings and without a tail?"
The black cat shook his ears.
"——It is not ruled out that it is a child of the Qingqiu vassal family," it smiled dryly and threw out the speech that had been prepared long ago: "How can the serious Qingqiu bloodline go to the kind of place like the Fringe Academy?"
KAKA.
The peacock, which looks like a parrot, clattered its beak and made an impatient sound.
"Don't waste time on such things."
Belfinger waved his wings and glanced at the black cat with contempt: "Our guilty makes the adults pretend to be stupid, so continue to pretend... Haven't you always said that you are the cat of the relevant department? Don't the relevant department know that Qingqiu submitted the identity authentication materials for those big elves to the alliance? This matter has spread throughout the alchemist circle! A new magic race was born in school, and you don't know about this, either your previous vest was fake - this was not unexpected - or you were pretending to be stupid and testing everyone's identity."
"There is another possibility that our guilt has limited the level of adults. I really don't know about this." Bezebu flashed with his wide pig ears and looked at the black cat with malicious intentions.
"——It can directly associate the big elf mentioned in this task with the three freshmen of the Fringe Academy. Wouldn't know about this? I suddenly became a little curious about why he tried to cover up this matter. He was still using such a clumsy method." Mamen held his fluffy red fox tail, squinted his eyes, and looked at the black cat.
Under the mask, the black cat's expression was a little stiff.
These guys are so keen.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Samar whimpered warningly in his throat and looked around: "——Mamen's mission, what is the reward? Is there any time to ask for it? Should we accept it?"
The red fox immediately corrected his posture: "My ex gave him very relaxed conditions, saying that as long as the task is completed, the remuneration can be brought back when the goods are delivered. If jade coins are needed, a drop of blood can be paid for one hundred jade coins."
The black cat clearly heard the sound of more than one devil swallowing saliva.
This made him feel a little tired - why are there all these messy things around him? Why do the Seven Deadly Sins always receive such a commission - last time it was himself, this time it was his elves, and next time it was? Do they still have to pull the hair of their own dogs?
