Chapter 16: Rakshasa Ghost Market (IV)
The tentacles that grabbed Lu Ren were one of the two that were cut off by Lu Qingzhou.
It was knocked flying to the vicinity of Lu Ren, far away from the battle, and watched its main body being beaten, but could not help.
The poor tentacle tried hard to get back to its main body, so it crawled frantically on the ground.
He happened to pass by Lu Ren who was hiding in the corner.
It sensed Lu Ren's presence.
"A human."
The brainless tentacle thought so.
"If I catch it back, I think the original body won't be mad at me for getting beaten away. After all, humans are pretty tasty."
Just like everyone who goes back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year must bring some local specialties.
The tentacles quickly and accurately wrapped around Lu Ren's ankle and dragged him all the way back to the main body.
The tentacles merged into the body.
The main body is very satisfied.
Lu Ren was not satisfied.
But he was hung upside down in the air with his ankles tied, so he couldn't express any opinion.
Only Lu Qingzhou, a law enforcer who originally had an absolute advantage, frowned slightly when he saw Lu Ren.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Qingzhou knew Lu Ren. In fact, everyone in the Immigrant Population Survey Bureau knew Lu Ren.
The Foreign Population Investigation Bureau is a huge mountain that lies between the Endless Abyss and the mortal world.
Two worlds department.
Although under Si Yuan's leadership, Jie Si has been developing towards a peaceful path in recent years, it is still full of powerful monsters, and the inner nature of the powerful monsters will not change easily.
In essence, Jiesi is still a place where the law of the jungle prevails.
The cleaners in the Immigrant Population Investigation Bureau were generally weak monsters. Lu Ren was the best among the weak ones. In the Investigation Bureau, cleaners themselves were not respected.
If Lu Ren hadn’t taken over as the cleaning staff.
Lu Ren’s predecessors were a group of fungus people. Fungus people were about the same size as mushrooms. They were a weak and peaceful race that liked to live in groups.
They are everywhere in the investigation bureau, keeping the entire bureau in good order.
They could be anywhere, in the corner of the stairs, in the drawer of your desk, or even next to the toilet in the bathroom...
They don't talk, they just work hard without any complaints or regrets.
They were so common that no one in the bureau took them seriously.
Until a fungus man dies.
He died in an accident.
The fungus man died from a fart.
The cause was that Fei from the second combat group did not notice the fungus man who was working when he went to the toilet.
Fei looks like a cow, but has only one eye. He is a strange beast with poisonous all over his body, and his fart is the concentrated essence of his poison.
Because Fei didn't care, the fungus man died.
The tragedy could have been avoided if Fei had just looked down at his colleagues.
The surviving bacteria were sad, but still rational. Their only request was that Fei apologize. As long as Fei apologized, they would forgive him.
But Fei said, "He is so small, who can see him?"
This sentence angered the fungus people.
The fungi began a strike, demanding that the Investigation Bureau give Fei appropriate punishment, otherwise they would never return to work.
The strike did not achieve the desired effect. Some people began to say: "Why do we have to keep these little creatures in the first place? They don't even want to clean the house. Can we fire them and make mushroom soup for them?"
The fungus people were extremely angry and started a war.
They blocked all the bureau's sewers with rocks.
A hundred years have passed, and Lu Qingzhou still remembers the disaster. In his more than a thousand years of life, he has never seen a more terrible scene.
In the Investigation Bureau, a place full of large exotic beasts, the toilet was blocked.
No one knew how to unclog a toilet, or rather, no one thought about unclogging a toilet. They were all too self-righteous and thought it was just a stupid little trick of the fungi.
The toilet has become a swamp, a filthy swamp.
By the time the divine beasts realized it, the person who opened the toilet door had already been swallowed up by the abyss called toilet.
The arrogant divine beasts compromised and even offered to kill Fei as long as the fungus man could unclog the toilet.
"Let's put Feichen in the toilet! He is the one who caused all this."
Fei, who was beaten black and blue, was hung on the flagpole in the backyard of the Investigation Bureau, surrounded by an excited crowd. There was already a pile of firewood under the flagpole, and the crowd was already discussing what kind of seasoning to use for the roasted whole beef.
Fei was crying and howling, but his mouth was blocked.
In the distance, there are silent and sad fungus people.
In the end, Si Yuan personally stepped in to mediate, and he expressed his sincere apologies to the Fungus People. That was probably the only time in Si Yuan's life that he bowed his head.
The fungus people accepted the apology, but they refused to continue serving these ungrateful beasts. They wanted to find a new home, a home without injustice and indifference.
Fei finally survived, it was said that it was because Lord Si Yuan did not like to eat beef. But he was sentenced to exile, and he was asked to be responsible for the safety of the Fungus People and to carry them to find a new home.
The night before departure, the fungi people banged and beat on Fei's cow's back all night long, and Fei cried all night long. It was such a noisy night, so noisy that Lu Qingzhou still gets a headache when he thinks about it now.
The fungus people eventually built a miniature city-state on Fei's back, with miniature castles and streets, schools and hospitals. This would be their temporary home, a home that began with wandering.
After the fungus man left, the Foreign Household Registration Bureau did not hire a cleaner for a full hundred years.
Later, Lu Qingzhou saw a word in a book: PTSD, which means post-traumatic stress syndrome. Lu Qingzhou thought that the entire investigation bureau might have suffered from cleaning PTSD.
Later, the Immigrant Household Survey Bureau became dirtier and dirtier over the course of a hundred years. Until the dust accumulation became so serious that no one in the whole bureau could stand it anymore, they started to recruit cleaners again. After that, Lu Ren was hired. Because of the fungus man incident, no one dared to look down on Lu Ren anymore.
Looking at the captured Lu Ren, I thought of the long war caused by the death of the fungus man.
Lu Qingzhou had only one thought in his mind.
"I will protect Lu Ren even if I die."
At this moment, Lu Ren, who was hanging in the air, was making a lot of noises. He really didn't know how to explain why he was in this dangerous place and why he had accurately hindered Lu Qingzhou's progress.
He even thought that he should introduce himself first, and then say, "We are all colleagues, can you save me?" Then he begged Lu Qingzhou to save him with tears. Just as he was struggling with how to start, he saw Lu Qingzhou, his body burning with green flames, rushing up with a sword. Lu Qingzhou jumped up, flew into the sky, and then slashed the black tentacles that were wrapped around Lu Ren from top to bottom.
Lu Ren thought to himself: "That's great, he is willing to save me." At the same time, he was prepared to fail miserably.
However, the expected pain did not come. Lu Qingzhou held his waist and held him steadily, even expressionlessly, with his noble and cold face, he said: "Are you okay?"
Although Lu Qingzhou looked directly at the man in black robes and not at Lu Ren, there was no third person present, so this sentence was undoubtedly directed at Lu Ren.
Lu Ren: ???
