"Boss, a latte, a cappuccino, a cappuccino for a heart-shaped latte art, some more cinnamon powder, and two puffs filled with strawberry jam." As soon as Zhang Su entered the taiko coffee shop, he said clearly to the cashier of the coffee shop.

"A latte, a cappuccino, two strawberry jam puff cakes, cappuccino wants heart-shaped latte art with cinnamon, well, okay, a total of fifty-four yuan, cash or scan the code?" The cashier asked.

"Scan the code." Zhang Su replied, took out his mobile phone, called up the QR code, and gently scanned it at a vertical code scanner on the cash register, and then the mobile phone shook and showed that the payment was successful.

"Well, okay, do you want to take it with you or dine here?" The cashier continued.

"Drink here." Zhang Su replied.

"Okay, please go to the side and wait for a while, right away." The cashier nodded in response, pointing to Zhang Su at the closest location to the cash register, signaling that Zhang Su could wait there, and then the cashier handed the order to the production staff in the back kitchen, because there were no waiters in the store, and it was obvious that the customers picked up their own food.

Zhang Su nodded, according to the message sent by Pu Zitong in advance, Pu Zitong was already waiting in the small cubicle called the vanilla room, he just had to wait for the meal to be served and bring it over, which was also agreed before.

Idle and bored, Zhang Su took out his mobile phone and kept scrolling through the news, there were two eye-catching reports on local news, the first was a report about the inexplicable death of three old wolves in Qicheng Zoo last night; The second latest is a report on the suicide of a female opera singer at the Times Theater, the news is presented in the form of text, without pictures, the first one is explained as a brawl within the wolf pack, and the second one is explained that the second female character in the opera is too miserable, which brings too much psychological pressure to the actors, resulting in the suicide of the two actresses who play this role, and the director may fine-tune the script to reduce the difficulty of the role.

Zhang Su pondered for a while, this news should have been released by Deng Zhihe and the director, and he didn't know whether he would appear in the follow-up report.

Five or six minutes later, the cashier whispered to Zhang Su, "Sir, your meal is ready." ”

Zhang Su got up and picked up the two cups of coffee and two puffs on the dinner plate, briefly asked the cashier about the location of the vanilla room in the coffee shop, and then walked towards the vanilla room.

Knock, Zhang Su knocked lightly on the door.

"Who?" A clear voice inside asked.

"Zhang Su." Zhang Su replied.

"What did you order me?" Pu Zitong continued to ask.

"Cappuccino heart-shaped latte art with cinnamon powder, and a strawberry jam puff cake." Zhang Su replied as if he was reporting a code.

As soon as Zhang Su finished ordering Pu Zitong, the door of the vanilla room opened from the inside out, and a slender hand held the small door of the open cubicle and said, "Yes, come in." ”

"What's the matter, how did we meet with the underground organization, why do we have to say a code?" Zhang Su entered the cubicle, put the dinner plate on the table, and asked puzzledly.

"Just check to see if you remember what I want, if you don't remember this, then it means that your partner is incompetent, and I may have to consider self-reliance on the path of soul hunting." Pu Zitong looked at Zhang Su and mocked with a little meaning.

"Hmph, just rely on you to slaughter me, if you are self-reliant, I will be one less burden, and I am not the nanny hired by your father, there is no need to take care of you, a giant soul master who has not hunted souls alone." Zhang smirked and snorted.

"You! Zhang thinks that you are getting more and more flamboyant and annoying, and you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, it seems that I have found the reason why you have been single for more than 20 years. Pu Zitong was about to slap the table angrily, but suddenly shrank back, looked at Zhang Su mockingly, and said sarcastically.

"Okay, you're amazing, I can't compare to you in terms of flamboyant tongue, I'm willing to bow down, let's not spend all our time bickering, let's talk about the partners in the future." Zhang Su heard Pu Zitong sarcastically that he was single, and responded with a wry smile, arguing with a woman, Zhang Su knew that he couldn't win, and Pu Zitong had already started a showdown, which made Zhang Su not plan to continue, so he changed the topic.

"What do you think?" Pu Zitong asked simply.

"What else can you think? Didn't I already make it clear on the phone? The two of us have a soul contract, and there should be no betrayal and rebellion when we partner up, which is a kind of guarantee, and there are prerequisites for partners, so you can try to combine partners. Zhang Su replied.

"I don't know much about the soul hunting mode of the soul hunting company, I am now an intermediate soul king, and you are a junior soul king, how can two soul masters of different levels choose the level of soul hunting?" Pu Zitong continued to ask, because she had not really carried out soul hunting operations in the Qicheng Soul Hunting Branch, she was not very clear about the official soul hunting mode of the Soul Hunting Company.

"There's no problem with this, soul hunting and being able to hunt souls are actually two concepts, you can hunt intermediate imps with the soul power level of the intermediate soul king, maybe you can still defeat it, but you may not be able to successfully capture it, so the catchability of the hunting options corresponding to the same level is too low, because only if you successfully capture it will there be benefits, so there are few soul masters who take the risk to fight the probability, before I temporarily partnered with Lu Senge, who was already a senior soul king, to capture the junior imps, Lu Senge was responsible for shooting head-on, And my role is to block the escape and retreat of the imps, so that together, we can ensure a successful hunt and exchange money. Zhang Su explained.

"I see, that is to say, the soul master soul hunting is carried out based on the capture success rate, whether it is an individual or a team, the reward level is selected with the maximum success rate, so if we two partner up, I may be the one who hunts head-on, and your soul power level is a little lower, so you are the one who blocks the road." Pu Zitong nodded and said in response.

"Well, this one, the level of our soul power is about the same, just flank the front and back, and encircle together, there is no such clear division." Zhang Su smiled bitterly.

"Who is similar to you, I'm one level higher than you, by the way, you said that our cooperation is fine, right? Do you want to run in? I'm afraid that the two of us may not be able to get along at that time, you are so weak, obscene, oily, and stingy, I feel that you and my noble temperament are not very compatible, and we may ...... together" Pu Zitong analyzed thoughtfully.

"I'm angry when you do this again, and when you say cooperation, why is it a personal attack when you open your mouth?" Zhang Su pretended to be angry.

"Okay, okay, just kidding, but the run-in is still needed, otherwise there will be accidental injuries or self-messing, and then there will be no point in our cooperation." Pu Zitong first laughed for a while, and then said seriously.

"Well, running-in is a must, there will be problems without tacit cooperation, soul hunting is not a competition between soul masters, a shot is a battle of life and death, maybe you haven't really hunted souls, I have had several life and death experiences, I know the horror of ghasts and ghosts, once they are right, they don't know what is called mercy, so you not only have to partner with me, but also carry out some solo soul hunting actual combat sharpening, and then you can be familiar with the dangerous situations in the soul hunting environment." Zhang Su added.

"What do you mean?" Pu Zitong felt that there was something in Zhang's words, and asked.

"We will officially cooperate after three days, but in these three days, you have to receive at least ten high-level ghast level bounties, and you have to complete the bounty alone, this alone includes soul hunting, successful soul hunting, and minimizing the interference of soul hunting on the human environment. Zhang Su replied.

"Well, I understand what you mean, I remember or I told you that 'the most terrifying thing in heaven and earth is the human heart and ghost scheme', I naturally know the mentality of conspiring with ghosts, but you don't need to set the bounty level of my adaptation period to a high-level ghast, I am embarrassed to start at such a low level." Pu Zitong picked up the cappuccino cup, stirred it slightly with the spoon in the tray, tasted it gently, and then said.

"Don't think that high-level ghasts are easy to catch, I won a second place in the rookie battle, in fact, I almost won Gu Yueming's mid-level soul king, but when I just returned to Qicheng to join the soul master team, I had two incidents of letting high-level ghasts escape from my hands, you can blame the reason for the fact that the body soul technique I majored in has little effect on the soul, But at that time, with the combination of my high-level great soul master and the three-green phosphorus arrow array, there was still something that made the high-level ghast slip away from my eyelids, do you still think that the high-level ghast is so easy to hunt? Zhang Su asked.

"It's really a bit risky to hear you say this, but you underestimate me, it's definitely no problem to deal with high-level ghasts with my strength, but if you want to capture them without interfering with the human environment, you can only know the result when this is really practiced, I accept your suggestion, from tomorrow onwards, I will go to the company to receive the bounty first, hunt fifteen high-level ghasts in three days, and hunt them all." Pu Zitong lifted his spirits and replied.

"It's also more difficult for yourself, okay, anyway, as long as you complete ten, I'll pass it, since it's negotiated, then let's eat, and I still have two high-level ghasts to do later." Zhang Su said with a smile, slowly picked up the cup, and took a sip of the still steaming latte, and the bitter Zhang Su frowned.

"When you're dating a beautiful woman, you're still thinking about the evil ghosts outside, hey, you're hopeless." Pu Zitong looked at Zhang Su, smiled, shook his head with a pretended sigh, and then picked up the puff cake filled with strawberry jam and ate it.

"What you say leaves me speechless." Zhang Su glanced at Pu Zitong and replied.

"By the way, I see that the soul power on your body is a little thin, it seems that you have consumed a lot, what did you do in the morning?" Pu Zitong asked Zhang Su.

"What else can I do? Soul hunting to make money, got a junior ghost in the morning, a little wasted, and then rushed over directly, just arrived on time, by the way, you also remember to prepare a car when you hunt souls, otherwise you will be very troublesome, most of the time spent on the road is spent on the road. Zhang Su replied and suggested.

"Can you handle a beginner imp alone?" Pu Zitong asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Su asked.

"Didn't you just say that you cooperated with Lu Sen to catch a junior imp? Can you now defeat the junior imp level by yourself and still stop it from escaping? Pu Zitong continued to ask.

"Yes, I'm not allowed to improve, huh? With my strength, it was indeed a bit difficult to deal with the junior imps, and I almost missed, but in the end, it turned out to be a success. Zhang Su replied confidently.

"The progress is good, the things of our partners, as well as the transaction things, all need your progress, and I am happy if you improve." Pu Zitong said with a smile, gently put the last bite of puff cake in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Zhang Su didn't say anything, took a few sips of his coffee, pushed his share of puffs in front of Pu Zitong, and motioned for Pu Zitong to eat his share.

The puff cake is not big, and it is also filled with strawberries, so Pu Zitong did not refuse, and ate Zhang Su's share of the puff cake after dividing it by two, and finally took a sip of coffee and smoothed the puff cake out of his throat.

"Are you hungry?" Zhang Su looked at Pu Zitong's eating appearance and asked with a smile.

"It's delicious." Pu Zitong replied.

"Do you want more?" Zhang Su continued to ask.

"No, I should also go, for soul hunting, I still have a small soul skill that needs to be cultivated, maybe it will come in handy when hunting souls, so I won't delay here." Pu Zitong wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Immediately, Zhang Su and Pu Zitong got up and left the café, Pu Zitong found a nearby bus stop waiting for the bus to go back, and Zhang Su rode his small tram all the way to the next reward.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually became gloomy, the dark clouds slowly covered the sky, the short bird call rose and fell for a moment, the wind followed the call, the flying flotsam in the air, the residual flowers and fallen leaves on the ground all rose with the wind, in the sky or swing or shake, after a dust-like flying, finally they all fell back to the earth, and it may turn into spring mud on the ground in the near future.

Zhang Su saw that the weather was not good, and knew that it was about to rain, and he didn't bring any equipment to protect himself from the rain, so he wanted to get the last two bounties before the rain, otherwise after the rain, he would probably be trapped under a certain rain shelter and couldn't do anything, so his plan to hand in the day's bounty before the Soul Hunter Company got off work might be frustrated.

Zhang Su picked up his speed and quickly rode to the next ghast bounty location, Qitai Stadium.

Qitai Stadium is the largest football stadium in Qicheng, is the home of Qicheng Sky Wolf football team, can accommodate 20,000 spectators, a month ago, in Qicheng and Guangcheng when the group stage of the football league was played, a large-scale fan clash broke out in Qitai Stadium, the conflict finally escalated, evolved into a violent and bloody incident, Qicheng side had three serious injuries and twelve minor injuries, while the opponent Guangcheng Daye team fans had one death, six serious injuries, twenty-seven people were slightly injured in the conflict, this matter was reported in the news, It caused an uproar in public opinion, some condemned the fans, some condemned the team, some condemned the security measures of Qitai Stadium, and even pointed the spearhead directly at the Qicheng people, saying that the Qicheng people were barbaric and xenophobic, but no one knew the root cause of the violent conflict, and no one knew where the real fuse of the violent conflict was.

When the punishment results came out, Qitai Stadium was ordered to rectify and fine because of security problems, and the Qicheng Wolves were sentenced to two consecutive suspensions because of being the host, coupled with the unfavorable guidance of fans.

Qi Tianchen, the chairman of Qitai Zhengkang Co., Ltd., to which Qitai Stadium belongs, is the boss of Qitai Sports Institute, who applied for a reward for the Soul Hunting Company, and he was personally experienced in the conflict, when he was wearing civilian clothes and watching the football among the fans, he didn't expect that he was also hit by the first batch of troublemakers, but he saw a strange scene after being injured, so he chose the Soul Hunting Company to intervene in this matter.

According to Qi Tianchen's description, he was watching the football among the fans during the fan trouble, after the game, near the exit in the stadium, he was inexplicably smashed on the head, and when he turned around, he found that he was smashed by a fan wearing the uniform of the Guangcheng Daye team with a water bottle filled with half a bottle of water, and after that, he saw that many fans of the Guangcheng Daye team were waving their arms and sliding their bodies as if they were drunk, and they were constantly approaching the Qicheng Sky Wolf team fans, and the battle was about to break out.

The fans of the Guangcheng Wolves team kept approaching like dead bodies, and the fans of the Qicheng Wolves thought that the fans of the Guangcheng Wolves came to make trouble because of the away loss, but in this case of suspicion and vigilance, the fans of the Qicheng Wolves pushed away a few fans of the Guangcheng Wolves who were walking in front, who knew that the fans who were originally drunk were actually scratching and biting the fans of the Qicheng Wolves as if they were crazy, like zombies in a doomsday movie.

Of course, the fans of the Qicheng Wolves will not give up and let them bite, they thought that there were fans who saw their team lose and caused mental madness to make trouble, so many fans of the Qicheng Wolves teamed up to beat all the fans of the Daye team who came to make trouble to the ground, but the scene was chaotic, and some people did not know the severity of their actions, resulting in injuries to many fans involved in the brawl, and even stampede caused death, which was the real situation at the time.

Qi Tianchen, chairman of Qitai Zhengkang Co., Ltd., believes that the mental trance of the fans of the Daye team who first made trouble is very similar to that caused by drunkenness or taking drugs and hallucinogens, but according to the results of the investigation released later, none of the several Daye team fans who were arrested had a positive urine test, and there was no drunkenness, which means that the fans who made trouble did not have mental problems, drunkenness, and drug abuse, which was not consistent with the drunken state that Qi Tianchen saw at the time, and he suddenly reacted, perhaps those people at that time were "enchanted", and to solve this paranormal phenomenon, the first thing he thought of was the Soul Hunting Company, the official agency that deals with the supernatural.

Zhang Su first collected clues at the gate of Qitai Stadium, and then determined the location of the ghast, he did not go to the person in charge of the stadium this time, but left his body outside the empty stadium, and the soul floated to the door of a VIP room in the stadium, and quietly released an ear snake into the VIP room, and after a while, a sheep-headed human graft with a heavy soul crawled out of it, and looked at Zhang Su's soul viciously, but the soul body was powerless.

Soon, the high-level ghast of the sheep-headed human body dissipated its soul power under the attack of Zhang Su's soul technique, and was put into the dark stone cup by Zhang Su with a wave of his hand.

Just after the high-level ghast was collected, an almost transparent small snake with a body like bamboo leaf green swam out of the VIP room, and finally merged into Zhang Su's soul and disappeared, this little snake is the ear snake released by Zhang Su before, but this ear snake that still exists is Zhang Su's multiple preparations, but it is not used.

"This ghast can actually confuse people's soul skills, it's not simple, but although it is a high-level ghast soul power, the combat power is not very strong, my ear snake will directly destroy its soul, I don't know if my ear snake is too powerful or the ghast is too weak, hey, I can only use the last ghast bounty to try my other forms of the source sky snake man." The soul returned to the body, Zhang Su received the sheep-headed human ghast into the dark stone cup, he didn't look very happy, but sighed, and said a little disappointed in this high-level ghast.
