In a coffee shop in the center of the city, the leaves in a kimono are so plain and arrogant. Du Ping and Ye sat looking at each other. At this time, the leaves, which had been replaced by a modern ordinary kimono, were not as exaggerated as the ones that Du Ping had always seen, but they were still an existence that seemed to be not close to fire and water.

The leaves sit upright like a mountain, motionless. The coffee on the table didn't mean to move at all, and his eyes kept staring straight at Du Pingping.

Du Ping sat across the table, and with a serious expression, he took out the many books in a flower cloth package brought by Ye Zi and read them one by one. Very serious and fast.

Du Ping closed the book he was reading, and looked directly at the leaves, "That's all?"

Ye Zi smiled, "It's just part of it. ”

Du fair, "Very good! ”

Leaves, "can be seen, recorded, and not taken away." ”

"No problem. When, where?"

Ye Zi smiled brightly, "It's time for me to negotiate conditions!"

"What conditions do you have?"

Seeing Du Ping's nervous appearance, Ye Zi suddenly smiled happily, "Don't be nervous! Because if you can handle this, it's a very, very ugly thing for our old rival. Stuff is put with us anyway, and it's useless. So it's an investment, in modern parlance, angel investment. I don't think the success rate is much, but if it does. I've saved it too!"

"Then thank you, my lord!"

Ye Zi shook his head, "We don't want this set of fake things, just call me Ye Zi! If you like me, you call me that, you hate me, you call me like that, and you slander me like this, how good! How true!"

Du Fair, "Yes, Leaf!"

Leaves, "But I can't show you in vain!"

Du fair, "You say conditions. ”

Ye Zi smiled, "That's right! I personally run a stray animal shelter, and I am also responsible for the collection and disposal of stray animals in several cities. Every once in a while, there will be some handling work due to the fact that no one is taking care of the animals in the shelter. Don't you like to kill dogs? Help me dispose of a batch. ”

Du Pingping didn't know, "Why?"

Leaves, "What why?"

"You're not engaged in animal containment, why do you want to kill them?"

Ye Zi, "Don't say it so cruelly! Sheltering stray animals is also protecting the residents of the community and local traditional wildlife, which is a very meaningful thing, and it is a very meaningful thing for the community and the country." ”

Du Pingping was a little skeptical, "It's something that is very meaningful to the community and the country......

Ye Zi, "What do you have to say, don't always think that you are the only one who is patriotic!"

"Okay! I apologize. ”

Ye Zi continued, "In fact, the staff of the stray animal shelter are very caring and hard-working, and they are paid very low wages, but they pay very, very much. Many disabled and sick animals have been cured by them, some animals with defective personalities have been retrained by them, and some animals that were originally distrustful or hostile to humans have also been re-influenced by them to trust humans. ”

Du Fair, "It seems to be great." ”

Leaves, "Yes they are great!." The shelter will find a loving owner for the shelter through the Internet, WeChat groups, and on-site dogs trained in the shelter with caring people. ”

"No one wants to adopt?"

Ye Zi, "This is the regret of all of us, although we have made a lot of efforts, there will still be many stray dogs that have not been able to be claimed." The shelter has limited space and funding, so it can only regularly handle dogs that have not been claimed for a long time. ”

"So you need to kill the dog?"

Yezi, "Yes, but killing dogs is a very devastating thing for my employees. They put a lot of feelings and thoughts into it, and killing a dog will bring them a great spiritual burden. ”

Du Pingping didn't understand this so-called circle of gods and demons. Miyako is working as a reporter, and Ye Zi is running a shelter for stray animals. What is the difference between them and ordinary people? It is estimated that even the aunt next door has become an extraordinary person that day, and Du Pingping is not surprised.

Du Fair, "Is it okay to just kill the dog?"

Ye Zi, "How is it possible! If it is just an outsider to kill the dog, we can ask someone! You also have to help me investigate a matter!"

Du Ping, "What's the matter?"

"I suspect there's a ghost there!"

Du Ping was surprised, "There is a ghost?"

Du Pingping didn't understand that if this was the case, Ye Zi would be able to handle it himself as an insider, why should he look for himself?

Yezi, "I'm not going to go to that place." That place can be said to be a forbidden place for me. ”

Du Ping was puzzled, "Forbidden land?"

Yezi, "I don't like to kill dogs too much in places. There are too many dogs being killed there, and there is too much resentment! I don't usually go to this kind of place. ”

This should be Ye Zi's own special situation, and Du Pingping decided not to ask any more.

Du Fair, "That's all?"

Leaf, "The book I will send directly there." You can do the work for me for a few days! Help me figure out what's going on, and that's it. So, you see my offer is not high, half buy and half give, right?"

"As long as you figure it out, you don't need to help you catch ghosts or kill ghosts, right?"

Ye Zi glanced at Du Ping with contempt, as if to say, can you catch ghosts and kill ghosts.

Leaf, "Just figure it out!"

Du fair, "Okay. ”

Ye's stray animal shelter is a legal, government-backed public welfare organization on the outskirts of the city. Although he had been prepared for a long time, because Du Pingping came to kill dogs full-time, Du Pingping still clearly felt the hatred and exclusion from the staff of the shelter. However, fortunately, Du Pingping himself has no plans and plans to socialize warmly with his colleagues here, so he is naturally happy and quiet.

A small conference room specially vacated, the tables, chairs, and windowsills in the conference room are full of materials that Du Ping needs. Although the conditions are a little simple, Du Ping is very satisfied. Although I don't know what the reason for their search for the Qinggaoka Kazama family's nest is, Du Ping still believes that it is an untold story full of his own sadness, tears and incomparable determination. Now the people in these stories are gone, and only the records of their constant efforts to find this purpose in life still exist page by page, book by book. Du Pingping saw that the longest book here had been searched for 27 years so far. There can be 27 years in life, Du Ping doesn't know. But Du Pingping can deeply feel that persistence, affection, and suffering.

Du Pingping looked at this book of stories, if you look at a vivid life. There are a lot of abilities in it.,Some people even live in a place that they think should be Aogaoka Kazama's house.,It's 5 years to find it.。 In order to force these vixens to come out, some people once tried to set fire to the mountain. Some people like to go to the top of the mountain to observe the qi, he thinks that everyone needs to eat, and when they eat, they need to raise the fire. There are people who have searched for the Qingqiu family in various ways, but none of them have been found. This made Du Pingping a little frustrated, but at the same time, he bloomed with endless and endless fighting spirit.

I'm going to have to find it!

There was a knock on the door of Du's room. When Du Ping walked over to open it, he found that it was the director of this stray dog shelter, Aiko Hirota. A woman who can only be a legend, the second daughter of the Guangtian family of the local Wang clan in Tibet, has been excellent in learning, excellent in character, and excellent in appearance since she was a child. At the age of 24, she completed her medical doctorate studies, and after that, she did not work in her family's family business, nor did she accept her teacher's invitation to become a doctor at the Tibetan Horse Provincial Central Hospital, and devoted herself to working in the Tibetan Horse Stray Animal Shelter, an institution that many people don't know where to speak. He started as an ordinary employee and rose step by step to the current director of the shelter, and has been working in this shelter for 6 years. I never talk about any friends, and I don't have any hobbies, but I just like to take care of animals and treat them here.

Du Pingping bowed slightly, "Hello, Director Guangtian!"

Although she is already the director, Aiko Hirota is 30 years old. may be the reason for the excellent family genes, although she is already a 30-year-old unmarried woman, it seems that Aiko Hirota is still only twenty-four or five years old. Aiko Hirota has a lot of fans and admirers in this stray animal shelter. Because Aiko Hirota's personality is very good, she can always give people a good feeling of being kind and pleasant. Even if you are a critic, you will often explain and criticize from the other person's point of view. Coupled with Aiko Hirota's spirit of selfless dedication to these animals, it is very infectious to a group of boys and girls who are full of youthful fantasies.

Aiko Hirota owes a salute in return, "Hello, Mr. Du Pingping." ”

From the door, you can see the confusion caused by Du Pingping's previous efforts to read books inside, as well as several books that Du Pingping is opening and related notes and hand-drawings that are being carried out.

Aiko Hirota, "I'm sorry, Mr. Du Pingping. I might need your help!"

Du Fair, "Is it time?"

Aiko Hirota, "Yes. We're ready. ”

The place where Du Ping works is a room dedicated to handling dogs, and in the middle of the room is a special pet hospital bed. When Aiko Hirota walked in with a dog, she watched as Du Ping was admiring the environment.

This is a room specially prepared for handling shelter animals. In the center of the room was a steel animal bed, surrounded by no extra furniture except for a medicine cabinet. Just one wall, hung framed photos of five different staff members posing with dogs.

A female voice sounded from behind Du Ping, "These are the original staff here who can't stand the fact that they can't stand their favorite animals and have to be disposed of, die and commit suicide!"

Du Ping turned his head and looked at Aiko Hirota with a smile, "I see." ”

It seems that this is another purpose for Leaf to call himself here. That is, the serial employee suicide incident, is it a psychological illness that belongs to the scientific category, a serial murder incident with bad people doing evil, or a mysterious incident that belongs to gods and demons?

Aiko Hirota's tone was calm, "Although my heart is still full of disgust, I am here to thank you in particular. ”

Disgust, thanks, two words that could not exist together at all, were expressed at the same time by Director Hirota in front of him, which had to confuse Du Ping's thinking for a while.

"I'm sorry! I should understand what this disgust means." But thanks, I don't get it a little bit. ”

Aiko Hirota, "Yes, although my colleagues and I have a strong aversion to killing animals, it is no different from killing people, but why does killing sheltered animals become such a legitimate act in this society......

Aiko Hirota couldn't help but speak in an excited tone, which made Du Ping have to think about whether there was something wrong with his emotional state.

Aiko Hirota took two long breaths to calm herself down.

Aiko Hirota bowed deeply and apologized, "I'm sorry! I beg your pardon!"

"It's okay! I can understand your feelings. ”

Aiko Hirota, "As the director, I very well understand and recognize Ms. Ye Zi's choice. The choice to have sheltered animals handled by people outside the shelter is for the sake of our physical and mental health. In addition, the implementation of this system has been accompanied by a system of regular psychological counseling for employees. The mental state of the staff in our shelter has been well improved, and the pessimistic and suicidal emotions have been effectively alleviated. So it turns out that Ms. Ye's choice is normal. ”

As she spoke, Aiko Hirota became calm. And it's so cold that it makes people feel cold.

Aiko Hirota, "Mr. Du Pingping, what tools are you going to use to get the job done?"

Aiko Hirota glanced up and down at Du Pingping, "I'm sorry! I don't see the tools you have to do your work, sir." ”

Du Pingping smiled and took out a sheathed black sword from his side. The sword was not taken out of the scabbard, so Aiko Hirota did not see the special appearance of Du Ping's mysterious black sword with the texture of a tree gum.

Du Pingping held the sword in his hand, and the sword was flat on his body, "I am my tool." ”

Although he said it confidently, in fact, Du Pingping would only use this method to complete the work tasks promised to Yezi.

Aiko Hirota frowned slightly, "Sir, you're not kidding?"

Du Pingping shook his head and said that he was serious.

The dog leash was tied to the steel bed, and Aiko Hirota went to the stainless steel metal cabinet next to it, and took out a set of needles, syringes, and potions from inside. Aiko Hirota took the medical tools that had been arranged in a metal tray a long time ago and came to Du Pingping.

And while I wish you would end the life of that poor creature with poison, I have observed it during this period. The way we used poison before, the real situation was that the animal suffered great damage to the heart and body before death, and the way you used a knife to cut the heart turned out to be the least harmful to the animal. For that, I thank you again!"

Song was surprised, "This also proves it?"

Aiko said seriously, "Of course. Animals that have died before are generally very nervous and have frightened expressions. And you deal with the animals, which die too quickly and the consciousness and body are not reacting. Therefore, the body is softer and the expression is calmer. So please accept my sincere, heartfelt thanks!"

Song nodded, "Okay! I accept your thanks." ”

Aiko Hirota, "I recommend that you use the way you work here. Believe me, poison needles are a very humane, very painful way to deal with them. ”

"Yes, I've thought about it!"

Aiko Hirota: "And what about the result?"

Du Ping took his sword back, "I'm different from you here, I'm a killer, and you're a lifesaver." So what kind of work should have what kind of work attitude! It's better to have a knife! It's a good match for me!"

Aiko Hirota stayed for a long time, took the tray and returned to the stainless steel cabinet in this room, put the things away, and closed the door.

Aiko Hirota, "Forget it! You better do it your way!"

Returning to Du Ping's side, Aiko Hirota kissed the dog next to her and said goodbye to her deathbed.

Du Ping's sword has been pulled out of its scabbard, and Aiko Hirota over there is still not over. Du Ping's sword was in the center, and the killing intent rose sharply.

Du Pingping, "I really can't stand it, people like you!

Aiko Hirota got up and bowed seriously and seriously to Du Ping, "Please, don't make it too painful!"

Du fair, "What a trouble!"

Du Pingping took the leash, and the dog on the other side of the leash seemed to know something, and his whole body began to tremble in horror. Constantly whining pitifully.

Du Ping reprimanded with contempt, "The dog is actually a very spiritual animal, you see what you have scared the dog! Although I have killed many dogs, I have never seen a dog so afraid!"

Du Ping stroked the dog's ribs, and the knife inadvertently slashed into it while he was talking, hitting the dog's heart, and the dog immediately fell to the ground and died.

Du Ping looked at Aiko Hirota on the side, "Please, the next time you bring the dog in, don't make it the same as saying goodbye." Although I am a cold-blooded person, it is also very immoral for you to scare small animals like this. ”

Aiko Hirota was stunned for a long time, and suddenly bowed deeply again seriously, "Yes." In order to reduce the dog's pain, I will pay attention next time!"

A dog comes in, a dog goes out, another dog comes in, another dog goes out.

Things are going very fast, and eleven dogs have managed to die. Du Ping checked the sea knowledge system, and the progress of that kill value did not change except for some quantitative increases.

What does it mean in the end?
