Chapter 132: Fengdu Guest (XVIII)
Junfang’s daily work is actually very simple, mainly including opening the door, patrolling, slacking off and closing the door, among which slacking off takes the longest time.
In fact, for Junfang, the daily work is not the most uncomfortable, but the time alone after a day's work. Whenever night falls, the Immigrant Household Survey Bureau becomes silent and lightless.
Hanba does not need to rest, so Junfang can only face the long night with his eyes open. This long night embraces him like a cold death. Compared with the chaotic death, the more terrifying thing is the awake eternal life.
If Junfang hadn't been missing a brain, he would have been driven crazy by the boring life day after day. Fortunately, due to the lack of brain stem, he could sit in his coffin for a long time even if he was in a daze.
Fortunately, things have improved in recent years, as Junfang started raising Xiaobai, a
Junfang didn't have a coffin originally. When Lao Yang was still around, he would stand under a big tree in the backyard all night before nightfall when Lao Yang slept in the duty room . At that time, Lao Yang said that when he got rich, he would buy Junfang a coffin made of golden nanmu wood.
Old Yang didn't get rich, but the Foreign Household Survey Bureau finally complied with his last wish and used his pension to build a golden nanmu coffin for Junfang. On the day when the rain master brought the coffin over, Junfang was standing under the tree, looking up at the treetops in a daze. At that time, his mind was not as complete as it is now, and he was still stupid.
After listening to Master Yu's words, he touched the coffin board, tilted his head and asked, "Why did you give me a coffin? My master said he would take me back to Xiangxi in a while?"
The Rain Master could only sigh and said to him, "Old Yang died in the line of duty and can't return to Xiangxi."
Junfang didn't understand what martyrdom meant to human beings. He thought Lao Yang was just late.
"It doesn't matter." Junfang said, and moved his gaze to the treetops above his head, "Then I can wait for him."
The Rain Master did not say anything else, but just sighed again, and then reminded Junfang not to leave the boundary of the Foreign Household Investigation Bureau: "If someone finds you here, you will get into big trouble."
Junfang nodded obediently.
It took another ten years for Junfang to finally understand that Lao Yang would not come back. By then, he was already proficient in getting into the golden nanmu alone after get off work, but he would still think from time to time: "It would be nice if Lao Yang could touch this fine wood."
However, Junfang has been in a much better mood in the past two years, not only because he has a new good friend Lu Ren, but more importantly, Xiaobai is there to accompany him when no one is around at night.
Xiaobai is a mushroom that grew from Junfang's golden nanmu coffin. Although Junfang has been inviting Lu Ren to observe the growth of Xiaobai, Lu Ren has always refused because he has no interest in mushrooms.
Because Lu Ren had not come, no one told Junfang that Xiaobai was not actually a mushroom. Mushrooms do not start to break away from their roots and move around on their own after growing to a certain size.
Now Xiaobai has become a white ball. It is hard to tell what material it is made of, but it feels very elastic. There is only a huge crack in the center of the ball, which is Xiaobai's mouth. It makes a "嘤" sound like a baby and laughs like a human. When it laughs, you can see two rows of sharp white teeth in the crack, which is very scary.
How could this be the cute little mushroom that Junfang mentioned? It is clearly a new type of monster.
Fortunately, this little monster has always listened to Junfang. Under Junfang's persistent education, it also thinks of itself as a small mushroom, and its staple food is the mushroom nutrient solution that Junfang buys with his salary.
In short, in their minds, Xiaobai is just a white mushroom with its mouth open and able to move. Because the location of the Immigrant Household Survey Bureau is more towards the suburbs, the night sky here is relatively clear. In the past two years, every night when no one is around, Junfang would hold Xiaobai and sit on his coffin to watch the stars in the sky together.
Although this composition may look like a horror movie poster to others, for Junfang and Xiaobai, it is a warm reunion moment that they both cherish.
Gradually, Junfang began to get used to life without Lao Yang.
In the days without Lao Yang, Junfang gradually became a security guard at the Bureau of Investigation of Foreign Households. He was the first to go to work at the Bureau of Investigation of Foreign Households every day because he was responsible for opening the door.
This day was no exception.
However, when Tian Junfang opened the door, he saw from afar a man standing at the gate of the Foreign Household Registration Investigation Bureau.
It’s Lu Ren.
Junfang opened the door with the key and asked in confusion, "Ah Ren, why did you come so early today? There is no overtime pay for coming early in the morning."
Junfang was very happy to see Lu Ren so early. He opened the door and chatted with Lu Ren, but Lu Ren outside the door did not respond to him. Only Junfang was talking to himself excitedly.
"I heard from Lord Yinglong that you were going to Dragon Palace this weekend. No wonder I couldn't sense your presence all weekend. Did you have any delicious food?"
When Junfang was about to turn the key, he seemed to suddenly realize something and stopped moving his hands. Then he looked at Lu Ren, who was separated from him by an iron gate, and asked blankly, "That's not right... Ah Ren, are you acting strange today?"
Lu Ren outside the door did not reply, but Jun Fang instinctively felt that something was wrong. He said blankly: "Why... I still can't feel your presence?"
Junfang and Lu Ren had signed a blood contract. When they were face to face, it was impossible for Junfang not to sense Lu Ren's presence, unless -
Junfang did not open the door. He took two steps back and looked towards the iron gate with some confusion and vigilance.
Lu Ren outside the door seemed to smile. It was a smile that Jun Fang had never seen on Lu Ren's face before. It looked more like a hunter seeing his prey about to step into a trap.
Then, a small piece of pink paper fell out of Lu Ren's sleeve and slid through the iron gate. But the paper did not fall directly to the ground. Instead, it floated upward in an anti-dynamic way and landed on the key that Jun Fang did not have time to pull out.
Junfang took a closer look and found that it was not just a piece of paper, but a paper man. The man stood on the key and started turning the key with all his strength, intending to open the door for Lu Ren outside.
Jun Fang was immediately dissatisfied and was about to stop it when he saw a white ball rushing out first and biting the pink piece of paper.
It’s Xiaobai.
As Xiaobai fell to the ground, the pink paper man was torn into pieces.
However, even though Xiaobai had torn the little paper man into pieces, he still couldn't stop Lu Ren outside the door, or to be more precise, Bian Cheng, from coming in.
Bian Cheng's mind moved, and the key that was originally inserted in the door turned by itself. As the key turned, the originally closed door opened. The open door was placed in front of Bian Cheng, but when Bian Cheng just took a step forward, countless sparks suddenly flashed in the air around the iron door.
The sparks gathered around Bian Cheng, trying desperately to gather towards Bian Cheng's body, but seemed to be blocked by external force and pushed back when they were about to approach Bian Cheng.
This spark is the barrier of the Foreign Household Investigation Bureau, which is resisting the invasion of Biancheng.
Bian Cheng stretched out his hand and brushed his hair back, revealing his smooth forehead. He said with full aura and a haughty look, "Although I have long expected that it will not be so smooth, but since the barrier has been activated, we must fight quickly and make a quick decision."
Although Bian Cheng considered himself very strong, he did not intend to engage in a war of attrition with the entire Foreign Household Registration Investigation Bureau.
Bian Cheng looked at Xiao Bai who was standing in front of Jun Fang and grinning at him: "Is it Tai Sui?" He raised his eyebrows, "It's rare to grow this big. But——"
As soon as he finished speaking, the paper man that had just been torn into six pieces by Xiaobai suddenly grew taller, just like when it was in the alley, and turned into six identical paper man Bian Cheng.
One of the paper figures closest to Xiaobai kicked it hard. Xiaobai flew off the ground and was kicked far away. The six paper figures quickly chased after it and kicked it. They even happily kicked Xiaobai into a football.
While being ravaged, Xiaobai kept trying to open his mouth, intending to attack the paper man's calf with his white teeth. However, as soon as he got close to the paper man's calf, he was kicked away and spun 720 degrees in the air. When he landed on the ground, his whole eye was dizzy and he was kicked without any resistance.
When Jun Fang saw this scene, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the person in front of him was not Lu Ren.
He really wanted to help Xiaobai, but his more important task at the moment was Bian Cheng at the local gate: "Who are you! What did you do to Ah Ren! Let Xiaobai go!"
Bian Cheng said: "If I were you, I wouldn't have the energy to pay attention to that Tai Sui right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Cheng took another step into the Foreign Household Registration Investigation Bureau. With just this one step, the sparks that had originally surrounded Bian Cheng instantly dissipated into nothingness - the barrier was broken.
The next second, Bian Cheng stepped through the void and appeared in front of Jun Fang. He stretched out his hand towards Jun Fang, wanting to grab him.
Junfang was no fool, he reacted immediately and threw a punch at Bian Cheng's head, but Bian Cheng dodged it by turning his head.
He was about to distance himself from her, but when he was about to pull his fist back, Bian Cheng grabbed his wrist. Bian Cheng held Jun Fang's wrist tightly, making it difficult for Jun Fang to retreat, and then he punched Jun Fang in the abdomen.
As a drought demon, Junfang was not afraid of physical attacks. The bad thing was that Bian Cheng was the Lord of Hell. The Lord of Hell could mobilize Yin Qi at will, and zombies were creatures with excess Yin Qi in their bodies. It was because of the excess Yin Qi that their movements became stiff and their muscles became tight. At this time, Bian Cheng gathered a huge amount of Yin Qi on his fist, and used his fist to inject Yin Qi into Junfang's body again, which was like adding insult to injury. This made Junfang's body, which was already slightly stiff due to the Yin Qi, completely unable to move.
After being punched, Junfang fell straight down like a cut tree trunk.
Bian Cheng withdrew his hand and just stood there, looking down at Jun Fang, as if reciting a verdict, and said in a deep voice: "Recovery completed."
At this moment, a deep voice sounded behind Bian Cheng: "Who allowed you to recycle my employees here?"
The voice was not far from Bian Cheng, but before the voice sounded, Bian Cheng had not noticed the arrival of this person. He turned around in surprise and saw Si Yuan standing not far from him.
Si Yuan was wearing a black coat and a pair of black leather gloves. His hair was a little messy from the north wind, and there were slight dark circles under his eyes. He frowned tightly and looked quite grumpy after waking up.
Si Yuan looked up and down at Bian Cheng, who had the face of Lu Ren, and said without any hesitation: "The Foreign Household Investigation Bureau and the Nine Nether Realm Bureau have nothing to do with each other. I wonder what the Lord of Hell is planning to do."
