Midnight in Hanyang in August is still as hot as a stove.

No wind.

No month.

The dark world is full of the sound of the air conditioner turning outside, and the occasional drunken man roaring provokes a burst of dog barking.

Wine and the night make the evil in the hearts of some people swell, and finally fall into the bottomless abyss.

Peace requires order, and order needs a lot of people, police, soldiers, and demon hunters.

This bizarre world is not as simple as ordinary people see.

The world of ordinary people is only defined by good people, bad people, or men and women.

In the eyes of cultivators, this world is much more complicated, in addition to those two, there are demons and monsters.

Demon hunter is an ancient and mysterious profession, it is the representative of the cultivation world, and the nature of a bounty hunter or mercenary is the same, and he is paid for completing tasks.

Zhu Xiaobai is 23 years old and runs a private detective agency, and his business is very poor and he can close down at any time.

He is also a junior demon hunter.

There are about a hundred demon hunters like him in the entire Hanyang City, but there are few demon hunters who are making trouble, and he is already very lucky to receive the task.

Seeing that tomorrow is the day to pay the rent of the store, Qin Changsheng, the only employee, also shouted that he would roll up and leave without food.

However, he only had a few hundred dollars left in his pocket.

A penny is hard to beat a hero, let alone a few thousand.

He also considered finding someone to borrow, but as soon as his friends and classmates mentioned borrowing money, they instantly became African refugees, saying that they were so poor that they had to eat soil, and some people even rushed to borrow from him.

One by one's acting skills are better than some so-called stars.

Zhu Xiaobai didn't hold a grudge against them, no one's money was a leaf, and a gust of wind would come, they just chose not to make him a friend, and there was nothing wrong with it.

At the moment, he only has two ways to choose, either to be the little white face of the rich woman He Meifeng, or to go and ask for a job with the woman named "Purple Night" who is responsible for assigning the task of the demon hunter.

He Meifeng was his first customer, and Zhu Xiaobai helped her find the lost little teddy dog, and gave her a reward of 20,000 yuan.

Zhu Xiaobai, who looks sunny and looks a little like Hong Kong star Wu Yanzu, was fascinated by her, and hinted that Zhu Xiaobai could give 100,000 yuan a month if he was willing to accompany her.

"Purple Night" he hadn't seen before, she wouldn't say more than assign tasks, which made people feel very cold.

Zhu Xiaobai sadly discovered that he is really poor now, leaving only youth and flesh.

Choosing He Meifeng's phone call can be successful, it is nothing more than a trembling leg but not a hot hand, safe and risk-free, but it will lose its dignity.

Choosing Purple Night?

This becomes uncertain and dangerous, one of which she may not agree.

Second, it is not as easy as hunting demons to fight rats and wild dogs, it can be said that you can pin your head to work on the belt of your pants, and if you lose, it will become someone's supper.

Sometimes it is difficult for people to live with dignity, and most people will choose to endure humiliation and steal life, as the saying goes, 'it is better to die than to live'.

Even if Zhu Xiaobai chooses to close his broken shop, he will not risk his life to make money.

But he remembered that when he was a child, his father told him, "If you have iron bones, why should you bow to fate!"

Every time you compromise, you take a little back, and one day you'll be cornered with no way out. ”

He was only eight years old when his father committed suicide by throwing himself into the river the day after his father said this.

Zhu Xiaobai guessed that when he said this, he had been cornered by some people.

The original intention of running this detective agency was to find out who killed them, so he couldn't retreat, this was just a small grind!

Having made up his mind, he immediately sent a message to Ziye.

"I need a sum of money to save the emergency, either you lend me or give me a task, and the honorarium will be divided into fifty and fifty accounts. ”

Zhu Xiaobai didn't put his posture very low, he knew that the more a person as cold as Ziye pretended to be pitiful, the more he would ignore it.

He lit a cigarette after sending the message, and he didn't expect Purple Night to reply to him anytime soon.

But this time he miscalculated.

As soon as I lit a cigarette, the phone rang, and it was a virtual number.

"There is a task near Ximen Lake, the ability to evaluate the C-level demon, if you go, answer me immediately. ”

It was a woman who spoke, and her voice was very sweet and beautiful, but unfortunately it didn't carry a little emotion.

Don't guess it's Purple Night.

"Go, go, go. Zhu Xiaobai agreed without thinking about it, he didn't think about whether the little demon with the ability to assess the C level could cope with it.

"Okay, if you complete the task, you will get half of the honorarium, and your task authority will be raised to the corresponding level in the future. Ziye hung up the phone after saying coldly.

Zhu Xiaobai didn't expect Ziye to be so easily bought, and he was secretly glad in his heart.

As everyone knows, from now on, he will be involved in a dispute and may be shattered at any time.

The central area of Hanyang.

The headquarters of Tianjiao Group is lit up with neon.

Under the orange light in the office on the top floor, Mu Wan'er looked at the woman opposite and hung up the phone, picked up a glass of red wine with a smile, and raised it to signal her to toast.

The woman raised her goblet in return.

"I'm a little curious, why do you go to such great lengths to arrange this? Is there anything special about this Zhu Xiaobai?" the woman asked.

"You know the rules and regulations to collect money and do things, and asking too many questions is not good for you. Mu Wan'er still said with a smile, but she understood that people would shudder when they heard the meaning.

The woman didn't speak, picked up a few bundles of money on the stage and got up and left.

When she left, Mu Wan'er's sister Bai Ling happened to pass by her.

"I always feel that she didn't come to us purely for money, sister, do you really trust a human race?" Bai Ling asked Mu Wan'er.

"It's just cooperation between us, there's no trust or distrust, as long as we can achieve the goal. ”

Mu Wan'er said as she brought Bai Ling a glass of wine.

"Then what's going on with this Zhu Xiaobai? He's just a little demon hunter, it's not a matter of moving a finger if you want him to disappear, why do you want to borrow Luo Yu's hand to kill him?"

Bai Ling threw out the question that Mu Wan'er hadn't answered just now.

"Do you think Zhu Xiaobai will die?" Mu Wan'er asked rhetorically.

"Isn't this an ironclad thing? The investigation shows that Zhu Xiaobai is just a cultivator in the innate dual realm, and Luo Yu is already a little demon in the early stage of Ning Dan, which is equivalent to the acquired realm of a cultivator, and the disparity in their strength has already been divided without fighting. Bai Ling said with certainty.

"Then I'll sell it first, let's gamble, I bet that he won't die, bet...... I think you had a necklace that looked pretty before. Mu Wan'er looked at Bai Ling with a smile on her face.

"This ...... Well, if you lose, your red Porsche is mine. Bai Ling hesitated and said.

She liked the necklace so much, but she soon decided to gamble on it, because she couldn't imagine how she could lose.

She has also coveted Mu Wan'er's car for a long time, but Bai Ling's personality is flamboyant, and Mu Wan'er has always refused to give her the car for fear that she will cause unnecessary trouble.

That's the opportunity.

The bet contract came into effect, and Bai Ling naturally wouldn't wait for news here.

She pulled Mu Wan'er and went straight to Ximen Lake, she wanted to be the first to know the ending.
