Chapter 63: Subordinates Obey Orders
The three ghosts of the mandrill are shuttling among the rocks and trees at a high speed, and the human eye cannot catch its traces, and Miss Ji, who is hiding in the rocks and is savoring the compressed biscuits little by little, is unaware of its close snooping.
The three ghosts paused, they could merge with the mountain and stone, and they couldn't see any flaws, they silently observed Miss Ji for a while, and then turned into a light breeze and hurried away.
Then, with the valley as the center, it began its patrol in a way that gradually radiated outward, without missing a single area.
The mountains and forests are its world, this second it is still in the low mountain col, and the next second it can appear on the top of the mountain peak hundreds of meters, the speed is as fast as lightning, and it is completely impossible to predict its trajectory.
Before dark, it returned to the forest and whispered: "My lord, twenty miles to the southwest, a group of suspicious people have indeed been found. Twelve in number, armed with them, and two hounds, if the direction is good, it is expected to find this place in three hours. ”
"Good!"
Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart I hired a demon in time, and it was really a very wise decision, and the three gold coins were not wasted.
In addition, just listening to the three ghosts, don't look at its appearance, you will feel that this is not a baboon at all, put on a flying fish suit, and take off a brocade guard.
is also 'adult', 'if' and 'expected', this language expression ability compares Lin Ye to a little ashamed.
To get back to the point, although this group of people was discovered, at present, Lin Ye can't judge at will, who is good and who is bad between them and that Miss Ji, many times, the vulnerable group that seems to be sympathetic is not necessarily a good bird.
"Wait here. ”
Lin Ye instructed the three ghosts: "According to the situation, if I call out your name, you will do it, if you can, you will not kill, and it is best to be stunned." Of course, if they have the ability to threaten our safety, it is time to die, and I will not stop you. ”
"The subordinates understand. ”
The three ghosts arched their hands, and the action and posture, no matter how you look at it, it has a kind of bad feeling in a costume movie.
The 'subordinates' have all come out, Lin Ye will of course feel curious, and can't help asking: "Three ghosts, why do you feel that your ancient breath is so strong?"
"Your Excellency is sharp-eyed!"
The three ghosts bowed their hands again and said very frankly: "Before accepting your employment, I was blending in a very backward ancient society, turning into a human form, using the identity of a yamen servant as a cover, secretly devouring the flesh and soul of human beings. ”
Damn, you can say such an evil thing so frankly?
Lin Ye's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "How many people have you eaten?"
"One every three days, otherwise it will be indigestion. ”
The three ghosts replied: "That world is in the midst of years of war, human life is like mustard, dozens of refugees in the city die every day, and there are thousands of miles of starvation outside the city, and corpses are everywhere. ”
"It's so scary, it's so evil!"
Lin Ye rummaged through its relevant information in his mind, and immediately revealed: "Look at your self-introduction, what do you say Although you are a beast, you know etiquette, righteousness and shame, are proficient in music and rhythm, like poetry, and are involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... I won't read the rest of it, it's obviously a false advertisement! I thought you were a cultural person in the mandrill, and you ate one person for three days for half a day. ”
"My lord, my presentation is not false. ”
The three ghosts explained in a sincere tone: "I am a demon, and my skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all obtained by devouring human souls, but I will not eat people casually, and I choose treacherous people with human faces and animal hearts, such as bullies and thugs who oppress refugees, and corrupt officials who suck the blood of the people and the marrow of the people." ”
Lin Ye looked at him and asked after a while, "So you lurked in the yamen as an errand boy just to make it easier to act?"
"Yes, sir!"
The three ghosts' bodies were distorted, and they looked like they had turned into a middle-aged man dressed in the costumes of an ancient official.
If the cultivation is not enough, the transformation process will seem quite weird and laborious.
It bowed to Lin Ye: "Thank you very much for your appreciation, with these three demon gold coins, I can successfully advance to the Spark Stage, and there is no need to continue to lurk in the world and do that dark and dirty thing." ”
Lin Ye nodded, only then did he know that he was in the critical period of cultivation and promotion, and these three demon gold coins were very important to him.
So, Lin Ye asked, "It's only three gold coins, is it difficult for you to earn them?"
"Yes, sir. ”
The three ghosts bowed and replied: "The mandrill does not have too obvious characteristics among the demon clan, it is not as powerful as a lion and tiger, it is not as good as a cat and fox in terms of charm, it is not as good as a giant ape in terms of strength, and it is not as good as a macaque in terms of flexibility...... There are really very few adults who are willing to hire us. ”
"Yes, too. ”
Lin Ye thought about it carefully, if he hadn't happened to be in the mountains, he wouldn't have thought of hiring a mandrill, but should have hired Eruru again.
What's more, like it, it is a mandrill of the Gathering Period, and there are tens of thousands of choices in the system list, and it is estimated that it may not receive a single hire task for many years.
"Okay, so be it. ”
Lin Ye waved his hand and said gently: "I don't care what you have done in other worlds, in this earth, I have only one request, that is, to be obedient and obedient, and not to do what you are not allowed to do, especially not to eat people casually! This is a peaceful and stable society under the rule of law, and human homicide cases are very troublesome." ”
"Subordinates obey!"
The three ghosts like to call themselves subordinates, and it seems that they have been in that ancient world for a long time, and then, it changed back to its original form, turning into a blurred black shadow and going out on patrol.
It's such a demon......
With this hiring experience, Lin Ye realized even more that the strength and lifespan of demons were far beyond mortals, and it was hard to imagine what they had done and experienced.
It is important to be wary that the three ghosts have not received a single hire assignment for a long time, so it may be at two extremes of the spectrum of its attitude towards satisfaction scores: either it cares a lot or it doesn't care too much.
If it is the latter, the obedience to it should not be too demanding, lest it be provoked, and at least it will provoke a strike, or at worst it may ...... Hum!
Three hours later, at nine o'clock in the night, Lin Ye faintly heard the sound of a dog barking from a distance, and gradually became clear.
"Mr. Lin, they're here!"
Miss Ji ran over and stumbled up, she was indeed good, but the valley was too dark at night, and for some people who did not have good night vision, they would not be able to see their fingers.
Lin Ye didn't stop her, with the protection of the three ghosts, she would be fine even if she climbed in.
"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect them to ...... so quickly Oops!"
Her head slammed the edge of the hole.
Lin Ye replied angrily: "You pee all the way, it's strange that the dog's nose can't smell it." ”
In the dark, Miss Ji's face was flushed, she was shy, and she really couldn't compete with him, so she could only defend in her heart: I haven't eaten for two days, and I don't dare to eat wild vegetables indiscriminately, what else can I do except drink more water......
(Coffee: As for how the servants in the yamen call themselves small, or subordinate, readers don't care, after all, they are talking about another ancient world, not the ancient times of our country.) )
