Chapter 5
The next day, Xia Yitong sat on the bed with a depressed face, and she hadn't figured out how to explain to Harry that she had found a new job as a demon hunter. Although he lied to Harry in his dream last night, saying that he was too busy with his studies to work part-time, he still didn't know what to say when he woke up.
Just thinking about it, Harry sent it on WeChat.
"Honey, I know you're about to start school, your studies are important, I've helped you reprint a daily contract, come to the store to help when you have time, and I'll hire another beautiful MM to take over your job. ”
Xia Yitong suddenly became nervous, and her mind quickly calculated how much money she would lose if her monthly salary was changed to a daily salary, and she didn't even notice why Harry suddenly mentioned this to her.
"Boss, listen to me. She uttered these words, and then continued to brew the following lines.
Harry replied, "I don't need to explain, the daily wage is the same as the monthly salary." ”
Well?
She finally realizes that things are a little strange.
"Boss, I don't think you're such a good talker. ”
"I am, and I signed the contract to bring that handsome guy back. ”
Xia Yitong woke up instantly, she jumped up from the bed and rushed to the living room, and saw Bai Xing sitting at the dining table drinking milk from her refrigerator, the gentle sunlight of the early morning gilded his coffee-colored curls with a hazy halo, looking like a quiet time.
In front of him were the "M Coffee Shop Daily Salary Contract", "Demon Hunting Employment Application", "Demon Hunt Lifetime Labor Contract" and a triangular pendant.
In addition, the table was piled with spoons, shovels, bowls, pens, combs, magic wands, books, lunch boxes...... and so on.
Bai Xing looked up at her, put the milk cup on the table, pushed away the clutter, and pushed the three documents in front of her.
"Sign it. ”
Xia Yitong sat opposite him and looked at the contract in a trance. Bai Xing's voice came from above his head: "The daily salary is the same as the monthly salary, the employment application is a formality, and the demon hunting labor contract cannot be changed all over the world, in order to find Zuo Yuming, you have no choice." ”
He said it so bluntly that it really didn't seem necessary to look at it, and she picked up a brush and swiped it to sign her name.
Bai Xing pointed to some things on the table with his chin and said, "Choose one." ”
"What?"
"Your weapon. ”
For a moment, Xia Yitong took out his mobile phone and considered whether to make a call to the Fifth Hospital (Kaifeng City Psychiatric Hospital).
But when she saw Harry's WeChat message this morning, she felt that nothing was impossible.
"A lunch box can also be used as a weapon?"
She picked up the plastic lunch box with the Japanese cartoon "Kumamon" printed on it and looked at it carefully, the lunch box was not large and double-layered, and the lid had a fork and soup spoon in the dark compartment.
Well, it's very suitable for girls to bring rice.
"Put this on. ”
Bai Xing grabbed the triangular metal pendant on the table and handed it to her, the pendant was double-sided, one side carved with a concave triangle, and the other side was a raised and unclosed triangle.
Seeing her puzzled, he explained: "This is the identity certificate of the demon hunt, and it is also one of the work tools, don't lose it." The closed triangle represents the yokai's immortal power, and the broken triangle represents the half-demon. ”
"Can youkai live forever?" she asked.
"Theoretically, as long as your demonic power is strong enough, you can stay alive forever, after all, when everyone who knows you is dead, then in their eyes, aren't you immortal?"
Xia Yitong remembered the pattern he saw on his clothes that day, which was also a closed triangle. Just as he was about to ask him what kind of monster he was, the triangular pendant in his hand suddenly jumped like a rabbit.
At the same time, the pendant on Bai Xing's neck also jumped.
He grabbed his pendant and pulled out the communicator in his ear, she followed his example and crossed the ear wheel and pulled it gently, and something similar to a microphone appeared on her lips, only to hear a gentle female voice in the communicator say: "There is an anonymous report from a demon, I saw a human I knew hundreds of years ago, I suspect that it is the demon of the hundred bone grass, please cooperate with the assistant staff to deal with it as soon as possible." ”
At the end of the call, Bai Xing reached out to grab her, stretched out halfway and reflexively retracted, and said with a strange expression: "You hold my arm." ”
As soon as Xia Yitong's hand touched his tight forearm, he felt a gust of cold wind coming from the surface, and when the line of sight was clear, they had already arrived at a city gate. She glanced down, Daliang Gate, is Daliang Gate 8 kilometers away from her house.
Bai Xing, who was walking in front, beckoned to her and made a silent gesture, and Xia Yitong hurriedly followed.
This girder gate is the gate of Bianliang City in ancient times, and she went up to see it when she climbed the city wall with her adoptive parents when she was a child. Later, Kaifeng was transformed into a tourist city, and many of the ruins on it were declared cultural heritage, so in order not to be trampled on repeatedly by tourists and cause damage, they were not allowed to enter and exit casually. Such an inaccessible place is indeed quite suitable for youkai to hide.
Xia Yitong thought as she flipped through the pages to see what was different about the lunch box.
Bai Xing squatted in front of a hollow wooden door, glanced back at her, and whispered: "I don't need you to make a move for a while, today is your first internship, and when I solve it, you can take the lunch box and collect it." ”
She had only seen Fahai take a golden bowl to collect Bai Suzhen on TV, but she had never seen anyone take a lunch box...... Well, in fact, the golden bowl is also a lunch box.
"Leader?" she asked, looking for what she thought was the right title, "I've only heard of Fahai using a golden bowl to collect demons, and although he also belongs to a lunch box, I think his lunch box looks much stronger than my plastic lunch box, and ......"
Before she finished speaking, Bai Xing suddenly got up, thrust his hands into his trouser pockets casually, raised his long legs and kicked open the door in front of her.
In the middle of the empty room sat a man.
The man turned his back to them, his head bowed, his back hooked, and a dry, frizzy braid dragged behind his head. A set of extremely ill-fitting black suits was draped over his body, blown by the wind, and the two sleeves were flipped back and forth, he should be an extremely thin person.
He turned around when he heard the voice, and Xia Yitong screamed in fright and hurriedly hid behind Bai Xing.
I saw that his face was gray, his cheeks were deep, his two huge eyes were sunken in his sockets, and he winked at them curiously.
Bai Xing ignored her, still walking up to the man in the handsome posture with his hands in his pockets just now, and said, "I thought it was such an amazing monster, it turned out to be just a bone spirit cultivated from a corpse. ”
Bone Spirit, White Bone Spirit, Xia Yitong suddenly felt a chill emerge from his hair, and then ducked behind Bai Xing and asked, "The Demon of the Hundred Bone Grass, is that what the Bone Spirit means?"
"Of course, the demon of the hundred bone grass is not a bone spirit, the demon of the hundred bone grass refers to the demon that humans have become by eating the elixir cultivated by the bones of hundreds of monsters. This kind of demon is extremely powerful, but it is difficult to control, the madness rate is 30%, the mortality rate is 65%, and only about 5% of humans can successfully fuse with the demonic power of the hundred bone grass. But as time goes by, there is still the possibility of being eaten by the demon power in the body, in short, there is only one ending of the demon of the hundred bone grass, that is, to be destroyed. ”
As his words fell, his hand also fell on the man's shoulder, and the man's thin body shook slightly, and he raised his head and winked at him.
"Although the color of the spirit power of the Hundred Bone Grass Demon is no different from that of normal youkai, their smell is slightly different. Bai Xing took a deep breath and said with a look of regret: "It's a pity...... You're not. ”
Why did his tone sound so regretful, since it wasn't a powerful youkai, wouldn't it be better?
Xia Yitong pulled the white torture clothes and said, "Since he is not, then can we go." "If she looks at this face any more, she'll have nightmares.
"Of course not. Bai Xing's other hand also put on the man's shoulder, and gently lifted the man around, facing him.
The man was just looking down and sucking his fingers, and when he turned them like this, his fingers fell out. He raised his head, looked at Bai Xing with an innocent face, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, he suddenly burst into tears.
Please imagine an extremely terrifying dried corpse, hunched over, holding a thumb in front of you, grinning with a shriveled mouth, crying extremely aggrieved, although he didn't shed any tears, but Xia Yitong still felt that this picture was too demonic.
"He is not yet three hundred years old, and according to the regulations, he needs to be brought back to the demon world to raise, and it is difficult to survive in the human world. He patted the man's head with a smile and said to Xia Yitong, "Open the lunch box to collect the demon." ”
Xia Yitong swallowed his saliva and hurriedly opened the plastic lunch box.
Suddenly, a whirlwind mixed with yellow sand rushed straight through the gate, and an old female voice in the whirlwind shouted angrily: "Who dares to take him away?"
