"Demonic ...... Rite? ”

Su Xiaoxiao stabilized her emotions and looked at him blankly.

Those mythical and legendary demonic rituals are very evil, and they have to pay a terrible price such as sacrificing their souls.

But now she seems to have lost her soul.

She wiped away a handful of tears and looked at Yejun helplessly, "Really? ”

"You signed a demonic pact with me, and it won't do me any good to lie to you."

"Tell me about ......"

Yejun said with a serious face, "You go find a pen." ”

Su Xiaoxiao did so, "And then?" ”

"Write down what you most want to accomplish right now in a bucket." As he spoke, he paused and deliberately added, "However, it can only be what you want to achieve in the short term in the near future, don't write an unrealistic long-term wish." ”

Su Xiaoxiao just wanted to write "become the world's first onmyoji", but when she thought about it, it didn't seem to be something that could be completed in the short term.

Then write "Solve the strange things on the construction site"?

This doesn't seem to be recent either.

Seeing that she was a little confused, Yejun reminded her, "Just write what obstacles you encounter next and want to overcome." The closer you get, the easier it is to achieve. ”

That's what to do next. Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, the biggest obstacle at present is that Team Tang refuses to let her participate in the investigation.

Then ...... Su Xiaoxiao picked up the pen and wrote the words "You can participate in the investigation of the case at No. 37 Linjia Lane" on the instant noodle bucket.

"Is that okay? And then what? ”

Yejun didn't answer her immediately, but looked at this line of words and said incredulously, "Just such a wish?" I saw that you have nothing to love in this life, and I thought you had been expelled from the ranks of the Onmyoji. ”

Expelled from the ranks of Onmyoji? Not really. Still, there is a lot of frustration that the plan is thwarted.

Plus I was almost bullied by a mortal today.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and there was still a slight sobbing in her tone, "Stop talking nonsense, say it quickly and then do it." ”

He patted the bucket of instant noodles, "Then, hopefully, eat it." ”

Su Xiaoxiao also obediently did so, and the long-lost hunger prompted her to gobble up the noodles, and she didn't even drink any soup left.

It's no exaggeration to say that when you're hungry, anything becomes a delicacy.

After eating the noodles, her whole body was much warmer, and the feeling of fullness also eased her mood.

Yejun watched her finish eating, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I should have asked what to do next, but Su Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something, and yawned loudly, "I'm sleeping, good night!" ”

"Wait!" This seemed to be out of the Night's expectation, and he subconsciously stopped her, "You...... Don't you ask what's next in the ceremony? ”

"I'm not a child." Su Xiaoxiao looked back and smiled, "You lied to me about this ceremony." ”

The corners of Yejun's mouth pulled out another momentary smile, but it was fleeting, "How can you see it?" Didn't you believe it at first? ”

Indeed, she is not a child, this so-called ritual is simple, boring, and even a little naïve.

But it was this initial belief that was like a light suddenly falling from the darkness, pulling her collapsed emotions back in an instant.

She let out a long exhale, as if she had let go of something, "Maybe your 'ritual' really works, I'm much better now." ”

After speaking, she picked up the little tiger who was sleeping on the sofa and whispered in its ear, "Let's go back to sleep, can I pick you to sleep tonight?" ”

Xiaohu seemed to be dreaming, and turned over lazily, humming and chirping in his mouth, as if to say a "um".

Su Xiaoxiao hugged it and walked towards the bedroom in a hurry.

Yejun looked at her silently, and then turned to look at the line of words she had written on the instant noodle bucket.

With a wave of his hand, the empty instant noodle bucket was instantly enveloped in flames, and along with the delicate small words, it turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Even we demons have always believed it. You don't believe it......" Looking at the flying ashes, the Night King laughed self-deprecatingly.

She's right, it's just a way to make a wish, just like humans have always believed that making a wish on a meteor can come true, a beautiful and childish "ritual".

……

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping in Zhengxiang, was woken up rudely.

When I opened my sleepy eyes, I saw the soup team standing in front of the bed.

I had been scolding Lao Tang in a dream all night last night, but I didn't expect this dream to be over yet.

Su Xiaoxiao scolded tiredly, ignored him, turned over and continued to close his eyes.

As a result, she was woken up again, she waved her hand impatiently, and said lazily, "I scolded you enough, change your dream!" ”

"It's noon, and you're still dreaming?"

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, and her head was slapped rudely, which instantly made her sober.

She covered her head, looked at him reproachfully, and said angrily, "What are you doing?!" ”

Lao Tang smiled, "Every time my daughter refuses to get up, I will use this trick to try everything!" ”

Not to mention, it works! Su Xiaoxiao is extremely sober now, but she is a little confused.

After relieving herself, she remembered that this person in the bedroom was Lao Tang, and she was still wearing loose pajamas.

She hurriedly grabbed the quilt and covered her chest, and looked at him in horror, "Old soup?!" You...... How did you get in here?! ”

"Xiao Jia opened the door for me. What do you mean by that? Can I still eat you? ”

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at him and said angrily, "You are a people's policeman, how can you casually enter a single girl's bedroom?!" ”

"So what's the matter, I often go into my daughter's bedroom."

Su Xiaoxiao's face was covered with black lines, "That's different, okay!" ”

Old Tang shrugged, "Why is it different, aren't you two the same age?" ”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless, I don't know if they don't care about this on the American side.

At least here, the older opposite sex should be more avoidant, otherwise they will be scolded as disrespectful.

She didn't bother to explain the cultural differences to him, and pointed to the door, "Get out!" ”

Lao Tang pursed his lips and raised the document bag in his hand, "Come out when you're ready, I'll show you the file of the case at No. 37 Linjia Lane." ”

This old soup, sooner or later I will sue your political commissar!

Wait, what did he say?

Su Xiaoxiao jumped up from the bed and rushed from the bed to the bottom of the bed in a few steps.

It's just that the foot slips, and the upper body gets off the bed first.

She didn't care about the pain at all, she hurriedly got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face, picked out a random dress to change, and rushed into the living room without combing her hair.

Lao Tang was sitting leisurely at the dining table drinking coffee, and Su Xiaoxiao fell into the chair opposite him, "What did you say?" What dossier? ”

Lao Tang didn't bother to explain to her, and handed over the document bag in his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao took it, and it was written on the cover "1990 No. 37 Linjia Lane Blood Pool Destruction Case".

It's really that case!

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lao Tang in surprise, "Why did you suddenly figure it out?" Didn't you say that there would be a violation of discipline? ”

Lao Tang looked at her and said helplessly, "No way, there is a demand below, but you also need instructions from above." You're lucky that the above has given you this opportunity. ”

Below...... Got a need?

Give me this...... Opportunity?

Su Xiaoxiao's first reaction was to think of something strange, her face instantly turned red, she threw the file bag on the table in annoyance, and reprimanded righteously, "You...... You...... You are a people's policeman, how can you do this! It's a shame on me...... I still respect you so much! ”

Lao Tang was stunned by her menacing appearance, "What's wrong with me?" The Municipal Bureau has appointed you as a criminal investigation consultant for this case and allows you to participate in the investigation. That's when I showed you the case file! ”

Specially appointed by the Municipal Bureau? Forensic Consultant?

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, as if she ...... It was she who misunderstood something.

"What you said above are referring to the city bureau? That refers to ......"

"The order goes down, and the following refers to us who are in charge of this case." Lao Tang looked at her strangely, with an inexplicable expression, "What do you think?" ”

Su Xiaoxiao profoundly explained the meaning of "the heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman" with his actions this time.

Her face was crimson with shame, and she waved her hand again and again, "It's nothing...... It's nothing...... I haven't woken up yet, hahaha......"

He must not be allowed to know what she was thinking just now, otherwise what should he think of this "Demon King" in the future?

Lao Tang didn't ask any further, but his focus was in a strange place, "You...... Just said you respect me? ”

Seeing his smug face, Su Xiaoxiao slapped the table, "Who...... Who respects you? What are you doing, the first place guy in the meal! ”

Old Tang laughed, this was the Su Xiaoxiao he knew.

"To get back to the point, you really have the ability this time, UO not only agreed to your approach, but even gave you the green light to expedite it, otherwise the city bureau would not have issued this order so quickly."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect this, "Could it be that my father helped?" ”

"Come on, your dad is more excited than me, and said that he hasn't enjoyed this treatment himself!"

That's weird, it can't be that childish ritual last night really works, right?

"Then I don't know...... I haven't even submitted an application, how could they agree......"

"You don't know?" Lao Tang was very surprised, and then muttered to himself, "It's strange, how could such a big figure as Yuan Mingyi suddenly vouch for you......"
