Chapter 187 Today's moonlight is very beautiful, I invite you all to gather together
On the highway from Raocheng to Yuzhang.
Zhong Shan was a little confused.
Just an hour ago, he received a call from Consultant Lin, who asked him for the phone numbers of the bigwigs at the headquarters. He gave Consultant Lin the phone number of the bigwig who had previously rejected their Raocheng application to update equipment.
The purpose is simple, to make this big guy's heart tremble.
And just after he gave Consultant Lin the phone number, the big boss called him within ten minutes and asked him to take people to Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute immediately.
The reason was that Consultant Lin killed both consultants from Yuzhang City, and most of the members of the Yuzhang Appraisal Team were injured.
Hearing the news, he was shocked. Even though an hour had passed, he still couldn't recover.
He has dealt with Yuzhang City's Team Leader Liu Ziqiang and Consultant Fan Chengzu many times. In the past, when Raocheng encountered trouble with ghosts and monsters, he always turned to Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute for help. After all, Yuzhang is the provincial capital, and Team Leader Liu also acts like a boss, so as a boss, he naturally has to protect his younger brothers.
He seldom dealt with Consultant Fan. Usually, it was Consultant Fan's apprentice, Consultant Yi, who came to Raocheng. It was rumored that Consultant Fan had unfathomable strength and possessed a powerful magical weapon in his hand.
How did this get connected to Consultant Lin? The most important thing was that both the master and the apprentice were wiped out by Consultant Lin.
But even though he was confused, he would automatically side with Consultant Lin when it came to matters related to him, not to mention that his superiors on the phone had told him to go to Yuzhang to clean up the mess .
Cleaning up the mess meant that the higher-ups had no intention of blaming Consultant Lin. Since even the higher-ups thought that what Consultant Lin did was right, he would support him even more unconditionally.
An hour later, Zhong Shan arrived at the Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute. Seeing the mess at the Yuzhang Appraisal Institute, he grabbed a middle-aged man waiting at the door and asked, "Lao Yang, what's going on?"
"What else could it be? You've seen it all. There are a total of 26 people in the Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute. Twelve of them were sent to the hospital. The one from your family is still there. Go in and ask for details."
"Old Yang, what's your attitude? It seems like you are dissatisfied with Consultant Lin. It's obviously you who did something wrong. Don't you see that the higher-ups support Consultant Lin's behavior?"
Zhong Shan quit. Old Yang's attitude is wrong. If it wasn't for your Yuzhang Appraisal Institute doing something wrong, why would Consultant Lin be angry? If Consultant Lin was not right, the headquarters would not stand on Consultant Lin's side.
Old Yang stopped talking and silently took out a cigarette and smoked it. He knew that this time it was his team leader and Consultant Fan who were wrong, but Consultant Lin was too ruthless.
He could accept it intellectually, but emotionally he couldn't bear it.
Zhong Shan didn't care anymore and took Zhang Jing and the other person inside. In the consultant's office, they also met Lin Ye and Liu Ziqiang.
"Advisor Lin."
Zhong Shan greeted Lin Ye first, and then looked at Liu Ziqiang. At this moment, Liu Ziqiang looked decadent and no longer had his previous spirit.
"Team Leader Liu."
Hearing Zhong Shan's call, Liu Ziqiang raised his head, his face was ashen, and he forced a smile: "Team Leader Zhong is here. I have received the order from the headquarters. Let Team Leader Zhong handle everything that comes next."
Team Leader Zhong!
Zhong Shan felt inexplicably comfortable when he heard Liu Ziqiang calling him team leader. In the past, whenever Team Leader Liu saw him, he would always call him "Old Zhong, Old Zhong", but he had never called himself "Team leader".
Liu Ziqiang walked out of the office dejectedly. This time, Yuzhang Appraisal Institute suffered a serious blow, and as the team leader, he was naturally responsible for it. The headquarters had already asked him to go to the capital immediately, and severe punishment from the headquarters would be waiting for him.
"Since Team Leader Zhong is here, I'll leave the rest of the matters here to you."
Lin Ye did not intend to interfere in the subsequent matters. Two hours ago, he spoke to the headquarters of the appraisal institute and gave them a general account of the situation. The headquarters replied that they would arrange for Zhong Shan to come and handle the subsequent matters.
Arranging Zhong Shan to come instead of sending someone else from the headquarters already showed the attitude of the headquarters, and Lin Ye was very satisfied with this attitude of the headquarters.
The appraisal institute has been established for nearly a hundred years, and there are always some black sheep. Some people once made contributions, but later changed their minds and wanted to rest on their laurels.
"OK!"
Zhongshan agreed subconsciously, but then he looked embarrassed. How could he handle it? This was Yuzhang Appraisal Institute, not Raocheng Appraisal Institute.
But Consultant Lin had already walked outside, and he didn't dare to stop him. At this moment, he looked helpless in the office.
Capital city.
Laboratory headquarters.
It was still the same round table meeting, and the same people were participating.
"Everyone knows about the situation in Yuzhang City. Tell me, what should we do next?"
"We will deal with it as we should. Liu Ziqiang must be severely punished. As for Advisor Fan... he is already dead, so we will not pursue the matter any further. As for Advisor Fan's descendants, they should continue to enjoy the original preferential treatment policy."
"I agree."
“Second.”
Several people agreed with this solution. The old man in the lead said, "The Yuzhang Appraisal Institute should also come up with a charter now. Yuzhang is a big city after all, and the appraisal institute cannot stop operating. Everyone, do you think we should send another team leader to reorganize the Yuzhang Appraisal Institute?"
"Boss, it's not that simple. Both consultants in Yuzhang City are dead. I'm afraid there won't be many people willing to take over this mess right now."
"Ahem...everyone, I have an idea..." an old man said, "Yuzhang City has no consultant now. If we send a team leader to start the work again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve results in a short period of time. Since it is time-consuming and laborious and may not be effective, why don't we change our thinking and merge the Raocheng and Yuzhang Appraisal Institutes and let Consultant Lin be in charge of it."
As soon as the old man said this, the expressions of the old men present became strange. After a while, another old man with white hair patted the old man who made the suggestion on the shoulder and said, "Old Xu, you are really quick-witted. Why didn't we think of it?"
"Yes, those who are capable should be given more work. Consultant Lin is so capable, it's no big deal for him to be responsible for one more city."
"You all have a good plan, but what if Advisor Lin refuses?"
"Ahem... We are not asking Consultant Lin to be in charge of Yuzhang City. Tell Zhongshan that the headquarters is also selecting a new person in charge. Before the new team leader takes office, let him work hard and temporarily take charge of all matters of the Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute."
Several old men smiled knowingly, and a few minutes later, Zhong Shan, who received a notice from the headquarters, started cursing in the office.
He could hear the plans of the old men in the headquarters in Yuzhang City. They said that he would be in charge of the Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute temporarily until a new person in charge came. How could anyone come under such circumstances? They wanted him to clean up the mess in Yuzhang City.
You don't dare to tell Consultant Lin directly, so you attack me. Am I, Zhong Shan, so easy to bully?
…
…
After Fan Chengzu's problem was solved, Lin Ye did not leave Yuzhang City because Zhong Shan complained to him.
Lin Ye did not expect that the appraisal institute headquarters would let Zhong Shan take charge of Yuzhang City's affairs temporarily, but after thinking about it, he understood what those people at the headquarters were thinking.
After all, Yuzhang City is the capital of Gan Province and there must be no chaos. Fan Chengzu was killed by me. As for Yi Tian, although he did not die, his cultivation was destroyed by me. Now he is not even as good as an ordinary person. Under such circumstances, the higher-ups naturally hope that I can stay in Yuzhang.
Tying up Zhongshan is equivalent to tying up yourself.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Ye had to say that this trick of the headquarters was very useful, because he quite liked Zhong Shan and he felt comfortable when he was flattered.
But he didn't plan to stay in Yuzhang.
An hour later, Zhong Shan walked into Lin Ye's temporary lounge with a document in his hand.
"Advisor Lin, this is the ghost currently registered in Yuzhang City."
The identification institute does not catch ghosts whenever it sees them. If it did, the institute would not have enough staff. So many people die every day, and for various reasons, there are always ghosts left in the world of the living.
Generally speaking, as long as the ghosts do not do evil, the people in the appraisal institute will turn a blind eye and wait for the time to come for them to go to the underworld.
There is another type of ghosts, those with relatively strong powers. These ghosts have been entrenched in Yuzhang City for many years. Since they have not harmed anyone, the Identification Institute has been monitoring them.
After all, if a fight really breaks out, the appraisal institute will have to pay a huge price.
Lin Ye took the information from Zhong Shan, glanced at it and exclaimed, Wow, there were no less than thirty ghosts densely written on the whole page of paper.
"Ahem, I asked Old Yang from the Yuzhang Appraisal Institute. These ghosts are quite powerful. At that time, Fan Chengzu and Team Leader Liu discussed it and decided to maintain the status quo. They made three rules with these ghosts: they are not allowed to harm ordinary people. These ghosts cannot easily leave their current residences. If they want to move, they must report to the Appraisal Institute."
Zhong Shan explained, and Lin Ye nodded and said, "Since we know the exact location of these ghosts, let's send them a message and say that I'm hosting a party and invite them to watch the moon tonight."
"Moon-watching?"
Zhongshan recalled, today is the beginning of the lunar month, so the moon doesn’t seem to be that big ?
"Well, it's just over the hill behind the appraisal institute. They are cordially invited to come."
"Okay, I'll let them know right away."
Although Zhong Shan didn't know what Consultant Lin was going to do, in his dictionary, any request from Consultant Lin had to be carried out unconditionally.
…
…
night!
Unfortunately, today the clouds covered the starry sky, and only a few scattered stars could be seen, shining stubbornly. As for the moon, it was like a shy girl, hiding in the clouds and nowhere to be seen.
A white-collar apartment!
"Uncle, is there a package for me?"
"They are all here, Miss Xiaoqian, please look for them yourself."
"good."
Two minutes later, a young girl came out of the guard room with several express packages, entered the apartment and opened her room.
"I am so tired."
After putting the express on the table, Li Xiaoqian collapsed directly on the sofa. A few minutes later, she walked to the refrigerator, took out a blood bag, turned on the TV, inserted a cannula into the blood bag, and began to suck the blood happily.
As a monster, it is really difficult to survive in human society.
She couldn't suck the blood of a living person, otherwise she would be discovered by the people in the identification institute and would be arrested. But she needed blood, so she had no choice but to work in the human society and then work hard to earn money to buy human blood from the blood bank.
In the past, she would have some money left over after using her monthly salary to buy human blood, but in the past two years, as humans have been plagued by diseases, fewer people are donating blood for free, and the price of blood flowing from blood banks to the black market has increased several times, so she has to work two jobs just to buy a month's worth of food.
Buddha bless us and let human diseases end soon, otherwise she will have no food to eat.
Turning on the TV, Li Xiaoqian clicked on a special channel. After entering the password, a news story began to play on TV.
"Latest news: A wolf demon from Yucheng ignored the rules, broke into human society, killed two ordinary humans, and was killed on the spot by the consultant of the Yucheng Appraisal Institute!"
Seeing the scene on TV where the wolf demon was lying on the ground with its head blown up, Li Xiaoqian shuddered. Humans were really too scary. She decided to give up her plan of sneaking into the blood bank to steal blood at night.
This TV channel was set up by humans specifically for monsters like them who live in human society. Every day it broadcasts information about monsters that have violated human rules and been sanctioned.
Every time she read the message, she felt a little more scared.
But she couldn't go back to the mountains. If she did, her tribe would ask her to marry the monster. She didn't want to marry the monster because it was so ugly, just like the Black Mountain Monster in the movie A Chinese Ghost Story. She named herself Li Xiaoqian after watching this movie.
After watching TV for a while, Li Xiaoqian picked up her mobile phone and opened a special app: Monster House.
This software was developed by a monster who lived in human society and taught himself to be a programmer. These monsters who live in human society can chat with each other through this software on a daily basis.
Li Xiaoqian looked at everyone's chat messages and posts, all of which were wailing. Several monsters she knew had been captured by the identification institute.
Humanity’s crackdown is here again.
It seems that I have to work hard to earn money to buy blood recently, and I can’t have any evil thoughts.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door and Li Xiaoqian jumped up from the sofa happily. It must be her takeaway that had been delivered.
The door opened, and seeing a young man and woman appear at the door, Li Xiaoqian's face turned pale and she quickly said, "I... I didn't do anything that violated the "Regulations on Monsters' Survival in Human Society."
Li Xiaoqian knew these two people, they were from Yuzhang City Appraisal Institute. Every month they would come to her house to ask about her situation.
But it’s not even the end of the month yet. Could it be that they’re here to arrest me?
"Ahem, Miss Li, you misunderstood. We are not here to inquire about the situation this time. We are here to give you an invitation. Our consultant invites you to watch the moon tonight. It's not just you, Miss Li, but all the ghosts in this city."
"Moon-watching?"
Li Xiaoqian looked back at the window at the other end of the living room. There was not even a star outside. What kind of moon was she admiring?
"Okay...I...I will definitely be there."
But she didn't dare to refuse. She was just a small monster and knew that a big shot like the consultant of the appraisal institute was not someone she could afford to offend.
