Volume II: Entering the Devil's Feast Verse 56: Judgment

Yan Hunshan's office is on the third floor of the company tower, Zhang Su is still the first time to enter Yan Hunshan's office, the style of the office is not much different from the manager's room in Zhang Su's impression, it is a dim old room with a dilapidated wooden floor, the room is not small, but half of it is a bookcase, a desk and a small chair for the receptionist's coffee table, and the other half is some special fitness equipment.

The bookcase and desk have a kind of style from the seventies, or they have been preserved from that time, using the most ordinary materials, not particularly good wood, patent leather yellowing, some places open the skin, the logs inside are exposed, and the nail marks on it show that it has been repaired many times, and it is still in use today, which shows that Yan Hunshan is either thrifty or the kind of nostalgic person, but this kind of thing in the company complements the dilapidated environment around the company.

The fitness equipment is a little different, not to say how fashionable and modern the fitness equipment used by Yan Hunshan is, on the contrary, the so-called fitness equipment is actually some dumbbells, barbells, tires and even a complete stone grinding disc, it can be seen that Yan Hunshan's fitness method is not quite the same as others, Zhang Su once heard Hu Xi say how special Yan Hunshan's cultivation method is, and today when I see these fitness equipment, I know that what I said is true.

Zhang Su recalled the kick he was kicked by Yan Hunshan at night, Yan Hunshan did not use the body soul technique at that time, and when he sensed the danger coming, he turned on the body soul skill to defend, but he was still kicked out more than ten meters away by Yan Hunshan when he couldn't dodge, obviously Yan Hunshan's physical strength has long been beyond ordinary people, and he now believes that Yan Hunshan once smashed the mountain stone and defeated the ghost king when he opened the body soul skill.

Just when Zhang Su's thoughts were flying, a cat jumped out of nowhere, jumped on Zhang Su's head, sat on top of Zhang Su's head, and kept combing his hair with his cat's paws.

Zhang Su didn't react for a while that something jumped on his head, only felt a little fluffy and soft, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look up, and saw a pair of purple-green cat eyes that were looking down at him, full of doubts but didn't dare to act rashly, raised his hand to drive away the big cat standing on his head.

"Don't touch Uncle Ben with your dirty hands, be careful that Uncle Ben slaps you to death, there is a wisp of ghost-level parasitic soul element left on your body, if you don't want to die, don't move, I'm going to pull it out now." The big cat stood on Zhang Su's head and actually spoke, and his voice was quite clear, and the tone of his voice was the same as that of a person.

"The cat spoke?!" Zhang Su stopped the movement of his hand and said in surprise.

"Cats? Lao Tzu is a spirit animal of the black rope night cat family, called Black Bean, and your little baby wants to call me Douye. The big cat continued.

"Black cat?" Zhang Su muttered, but he vaguely remembered that what he saw when he raised his eyes was a big cat with snow-white coats.

"Your Dou Ye is not a black cat, Dou Ye is a white cat of the Black Rope Night Owl Clan, called Black Bean." The big cat emphasized again.

"Okay, okay, I know, so why can you speak?" Zhang asked suspiciously.

"Cats are born with yin and yang eyes, and can peep into the two realms of yin and yang, but only cats from the black rope night cat clan have purple and green yin and yang eyes, and only cats with purple and green yin and yang eyes can absorb soul dust and cultivate their souls, because they are somewhat different from people, so they can be called cat souls, and cats with cat souls can perceive souls and spiritual sense, and it is natural to learn human words." The big cat explained.

"Doesn't it say that only people have souls?" Zhang Su continued to ask.

"It's true that only people have an innate soul, but the black rope night owl clan can absorb soul dust and cultivate spiritual consciousness the day after tomorrow, so that they also have the same soul as people, in addition to the black rope night owl clan, there are many special creatures who also have this ability, your kid's soul power is not weak, but some are unheard of." The big cat put its paw on Zhang Su's eyebrow bone, and hooked Zhang Su's eyelids with his paw as he spoke.

"Okay, Master Bean, what are you doing on my head now?" Zhang Su didn't know why the big cat jumped on his head, and asked puzzled.

"Didn't you say it just now, you have a parasitic soul element on your body, I'm going to help you pull it out now, and the ghost-level parasitic soul element can make me open a meat." Big cat sucks on saliva.

"What is a parasitic soul element?" Zhang Su hadn't heard of this word since he became a soul master.

"Zhang Su, that's a special means of positioning and listening, just like a bugging, but the parasitic soul element needs to swim back to the main soul to transmit the information after eavesdropping, since you still have a parasitic soul element on your body, it means that there are ghosts listening to you, but you didn't succeed." Before the old cat could speak, Hu Xi on the side preemptively explained.

"Bugging? No, if there is a soul power parasitic on my soul, I should be able to sense it? Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"The parasitic soul element is not attached to your soul, but to the outer layer of your body, in the imperceptible area of your body, it can avoid the detection of spiritual sense, but it can quietly probe your information, you have not carefully done a full aspect of soul power exploration of yourself, of course it is difficult to find." The big cat added.

"And this means?" Zhang Su groped his hand around him in horror.

"It's not unusual, many little ghost level will use this method, let alone ghost level, the parasitic soul element on your kid's body is in the lower abdomen, as if he has received a blow, it has been completely dumbfounded, and the broken soul element is on your lower abdomen, and it is no longer possible to swim back to the main soul." The big cat used its cat's claws to pull out a strand of soul filament from Zhang Su's eyebrow bone, and then sucked it lightly, sucking the wisp of light blue soul filament that Zhang Su had never seen before into his mouth, and kept chewing.

"Lower abdomen? Oh, I remember, Elder Yan kicked me in the lower abdomen, could it be that he discovered the parasitic soul element on my body at that time? Zhang Su's lower abdomen was still aching, he remembered Yan Lao's sudden kick when he was in Yiyuan, and suddenly realized that Yan Lao's kick was his lower abdomen.

"That's right, you're Dou Ye and I've finished my meal, so I'll go first." As he spoke, the big white cat jumped, and its figure leaped towards the roof, and under the cover of the dim light, the big cat no longer knew where to jump, and its figure disappeared into the darkness.

Not long after the big cat disappeared, Yan Hunshan walked in from outside the door while talking, followed by Yang Jiashuo, Fan Zengming, Qingfeng, Ding Lin, Gu Yantang, as the heads of various departments of the company continued to come in, the originally empty office was slightly crowded, Yan Lao sat on an old-fashioned bamboo and wood chair, and the others sat or stood facing Yan Lao, waiting for Yan Lao to speak.

"The verdict document issued by the headquarters will be discussed later, who will come first to summarize the issue of Lu Sen's death this time?" Elder Yan sat in his chair and spoke.

"Let me start with it, the incident happened suddenly, the emergency department was on duty in a timely manner, and there was no mistake in the aftermath of the scene, so there was no problem in the emergency response." Yang Jiashuo spoke first, as if he was praising himself, but it was indeed the truth.

"Well, Jiashuo arrived in a timely manner, did a good job of on-site investigation and cleanup, and did not cause related problems, and the emergency department is not responsible." Yan Hunshan nodded in agreement.

"In terms of finance, we have obtained an allocation from the headquarters, and the money is directly allocated to the hospital and Lu Sen's family without going through my hands, that is, Ms. Lu Zhen directly receives it, and I only keep the bill records here." Gu Yantang replied secondly.

"Trouble Gu Meizi, I came to the company early in the morning to handle the financial docking, the response was timely, and there was no problem." Old man Yan nodded.

"I have the responsibility to not know about Luxembo's family situation in time, if I could have found out as soon as possible that Luxembe needs medical expenses, maybe I could have applied for a subsidy from the company in time, and this incident may not have happened." Ding Lin blamed herself.

"Don't be emotional, just reflect truthfully within your own responsibility." Old man Yan reminded.

"The responsibility lies in not having a timely understanding of the company's employees' family situation." Ding Lin concluded.

"Well, take a little responsibility and get punished according to the rules." Elder Yan nodded.

"The Department of Discipline Inspection is not responsible, Lu Sen and Zhang are suspected of violating the rules, the investigation results have been submitted, and the response of the headquarters has been received, and how to punish is subject to the company's articles of association and the response of the head office, and there has been no omission." Qingfeng said expressionlessly, still with that iron-faced and selfless attitude.

"Agreed." Elder Yan continued to nod.

"I'm responsible, the bounty was not updated in time, and there was no follow-up on the information of the overturned ghost." Fan Zengming lowered his head and said, this is the first time Zhang Su has met Fan Zengming in the company after returning from Heavenly Soul Castle, the two of them usually don't see each other, only occasionally use their mobile phones to communicate about the current situation, and the main content is also related to Pu Zitong.

"Well, get punished according to the rules." Elder Yan replied.

"I ......" Hu Xi saw that everyone else had said, showing a sad expression, and was about to speak.

"Hu Xi and Lin Yan have made meritorious contributions to the rescue, report the information in time and arrive in time, Qingfeng, you will reward them for their meritorious deeds according to the regulations." Before Hu Xi's words could be spoken, Yan Lao saw that Hu Xi was also feeling a little self-reproachful, so he directly interrupted Hu Xi's speech and instructed Qingfeng.

"yes, got it." Qingfeng nodded in response.

"Boy Zhang's turn." Seeing that everyone else had finished answering, Yan Lao asked at Zhang Su.

"I'm wrong, I'm ......" Zhang Wei didn't know where to start, he felt in his heart that he killed Lu Sen.

"If you make any mistakes, say what is wrong, don't say more and don't say less, you are not qualified to bear what you should bear, you can't run away if you should have endured, and only by accurately saying the problem can play a role in introspection." Qingfeng saw that Zhang Su didn't know how to speak, and reminded with a serious face.

"I shouldn't have promised Brother Luxem about catching souls privately, I shouldn't have opportunistic ideas, I shouldn't have concealed the matter of catching souls privately from the company, I shouldn't have left Brother Luxem to run away alone......" Zhang Su kept admitting his mistakes, and the more he talked, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"It's too much, the first few are right, and the last one doesn't fit the actual situation, it can only be said that you can escape because of your ability and creation, and it has nothing to do with Lu Sen, but in view of the consequences of the two of you stealing souls privately, Qingfeng, you announce the company's final decision." Elder Yan interrupted.

Qingfeng nodded, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was written the final verdict against Zhang Su, and read in his mouth: "1. Zhang Su was suspended from work for three months from now on for violating the company's regulations, and ordered him to go home and think about it; 2. Zhang Su is not allowed to hunt souls for three months, and is not allowed to receive a bounty, except in cases of self-defense; 3. Zhang is not allowed to contact Lu Sen's family and must not affect the normal life of Lu Sen's family. Anyone who violates the above three articles will be dismissed from the company and will not be hired. ”

Zhang Su listened to the final verdict, just lowered his head and was silent, and didn't say anything, this verdict said that it was punishing him, but in fact it was more like protecting him, like giving him a calm and buffer time, Zhang Su knew in his heart that the content of these sentences had a lot to do with the exoneration of the headquarters, otherwise it should not be too much to punish him for a year and a half.

"Zhang Su, do you understand?" Seeing that Zhang Su didn't answer, Yan Lao asked again.

"Listen... Got it. Zhang replied hesitantly.

"It's good to understand, let's go home first." Yan Lao waved his hand at Zhang Su and motioned for Zhang Su to leave.

Seeing that Zhang Su was still standing with his head down, Hu Xi tugged at Zhang Su's clothes behind him and took Zhang Su away from Yan Lao's office.

"It stands to reason that the punishment this time is not heavy, you have also been frightened a lot, just leaving you a period of time to rest and adjust, you take this opportunity to recuperate, don't worry about Brother Lusen's future, the company will not treat Brother Lusen, Lu Zhen's sister-in-law has me to take care of it, and there is no need to worry, this kind of thing is not the first time it has happened, to become a soul master and go out to hunt souls, you must be mentally prepared to be killed by the ghast ghost, I believe that Brother Lusenge has this kind of awareness." Out of the company's gate, Hu Xi comforted Zhang Su.

"Brother Hu Xi, do you think I still have a mistake?" Zhang Su asked Hu Xi.

"What's wrong?" Hu Xi asked puzzled.

"Am I too weak?" Zhang Su raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes.

Hu Xi didn't answer, walked in front of Zhang Su in a few steps, gave Zhang Su a gentle hug, and his eyes vaguely became crystalline.

After hugging, Zhang Su left the company and slowly walked in the direction of his rental house, while Hu Xi rushed to the hospital where Lu Sen's wife was, where a slender figure sat on the hospital bed, with no hair on his head, his eyes looked out the window, and he saw the rising sun, smiling, and waiting for someone to return on time.

Zhang Su returned home, he collapsed on the bed without even taking off his clothes, his mind was now full of the situation when Lu Sen covered his escape, to be precise, the tragic situation, he hated those hateful and terrible evil ghosts, he wanted revenge, but he remembered the terrifying strength of those evil ghosts, his mind wandered back and forth in this memory, and he didn't know how long it took, when his spirit reached the limit of fatigue, people were already asleep unconsciously.

In the dream, Zhang Su first dreamed of Lu Sen saving him for the first time, and then dreamed that the two of them had received the reward together, although Lu Sen looked rough and unsmiling, but after he and Lu Sen got acquainted, he found that Lu Sen was just a delicate and withdrawn personality, Lu Sen never deliberately rejected people thousands of miles away, but was more alert and keen than others, and had a stronger sense of self-protection, he and Hu Xi just let Lu Sen take off some of the armor wrapped in his body a little, revealing a little flesh of humanity.

Zhang Su dreamed of Lu Sen sacrificing himself to cover him out of Yiyuan, and reproduced the picture at that time in the dream, carefully observing every detail at that time, without the panic at that time, Zhang Su saw it more clearly and really, he saw the scene when he rushed to the dump ghost, and also saw the process of the dump ghost piercing his ghost clone with the bamboo stick in his hand, if it wasn't for the carelessness of the dump ghost, Zhang Su estimated that his body would also be pierced by the dump ghost. His escape was indeed a fluke.

Zhang Su continued to show the situation in his dream, he saw the situation after Lu Sen opened the dungeon of damnation up close, and the ghost who overturned the car saw his soul escape into the body after being annoyed and angry, the bamboo stick of the ghost stabbed at Lu Sen who imprisoned it in the dungeon of damnation, Lu Sen dodged sideways, the bamboo stick pierced into Lu Sen's left arm, and the child-like ghost of the car fell along the position of the bamboo stick piercing, opened his bloody mouth, and "clicked" down, Lu Sen's soul arm was only half of it, The half of the soul palm that Hu Xi found later was the leftovers that were eaten by the dumper.

Just when the overturned ghost launched a further offensive against Lu Sen, the remaining seven imps also began to show their abilities, the giant hammer of the three-body imp directly released Lu Sen from the waist of the Cursed Hades, and the camel pig imps continued to rush towards Lu Sen, overturning Lu Sen, who had lost the Cursed Hades, on the barrier of the Damned Dungeon, the human face of the fox bit Lu Sen's other foot, and the fox screamed behind him.

Lu Sen struggled desperately on the ground, enduring the pain and once again condensed the Cursed Hades to protect his soul, and the huge soul power of the Damned Hades was released, first with a whip to shake off the overturned ghost, and then with a whip to sweep over the three-body imp, the camel pig imp and the femoral fox, and pulled the soul back from the desperate situation.

But the rest of the little ghosts didn't give Lu Sen a chance to breathe at all, and the ghost bamboo scholar launched a second wave of offensive with a half-body four-pupiled girl, a human-faced ghost scorpion, and a fat dolphin.

The Ghost Bamboo Scholar directly released thirteen arrows and a fan and shot towards Lu Sen, hitting Lu Sen's Heavenly Cursed Hades one by one, piercing and cutting off the Heavenly Retribution Hades that Lu Sen had released with his last soul power; The four eyes of the half-body four-pupiled girl emitted a soul wave, trembling the Heavenly Curse Hades, inexplicably causing the Heavenly Cursed Hades to have seven souls to disperse, and as the soul power continued to dissipate, the Heavenly Damnation Hades was already crumbling.

After that, the human-faced ghost scorpion raided, and the tail spike directly pierced the Damnation Hades, and finally hit Lu Sen's body soul, at this time, Lu Sen could not mobilize his soul power, and as Lu Sen's last Heavenly Curse Hades disappeared, the body soul was exposed in front of the ghosts, and the fat dolphin stretched out its long tongue, and it was wrapped around Lu Sen's surviving right arm at once, and with a hard pull, Lu Sen's half of his right arm was torn off by the roots, and then sucked into the stomach by the fat dolphin's tongue.

At this time, Lu Sen's soul, which had lost the last trace of soul power, no longer had the ability to resist, and was facing the fate of being eaten.

The overturned ghost once again pierced Lu Sen's soul body with a bamboo stick, and tore Lu Sen's soul like eating a skewer.

The ghost bamboo scholar used a white-faced fan to smash Lu Sen's legs, and then used flying arrows to pick up pieces of Lu Sen's soul fragments and send them to him, opened his mouth with round teeth and fangs, and swallowed the soul fragments into his mouth little by little.

The femoral fox struck again, switching on both sides, biting off both of Luson's ears one by one.

The three-body imp put away the hammer, scooped up half of Lu Sen's broken body, held it to his mouth, and kept sending it to his mouth.

The camel pig imp had two small mouths open to the sky on the hump, sucking the crumbs of soul power that had been shredded by Lu Sen's soul and emitted around.

The half-body four-pupiled woman plucked out Lu Sen's two eyes and stuffed them into her two eye sockets in turn, as if she had replaced her original eyes with Lu Sen's eyes.

The human-faced ghost scorpion kept hooking up Lu Sen's soul fragments with his tail hook and stuffing them into his mouth, chewing seriously.

The fat dolphin curled up Luxon's small half leg with his tongue, bit down on a small piece, and tasted it carefully.

In the dream, Zhang Su clearly heard Lu Sen's painful wail, and clearly saw the tragic situation when Lu Sen died, that kind of pain was more terrifying than a car cracking and five horses splitting the corpse, the more Zhang Su looked at it, the more he felt afraid, the more he looked at it, the more he was afraid, he gradually lost the mood of revenge, followed by the fear and confusion of the road of soul hunting.
