Chapter Twenty-Seven: Unveiling the List and Eliminating Demons Nankong conspires
"Ah Hao, why are you in a daze?"
"Ah, nothing. ”
Su Hao, who was holding his cheek with one hand, replied weakly. After about three or four seconds, he glanced at it and realized that the classmate he had greeted had already joined the chat circle of other students. Then he turned his gaze out the window.
The daily life of school is starting to be a little uninteresting. He thought.
Outside the window, dark clouds spread haphazardly in the sky overhead, and a drizzle was about to fall. This is always the case, and Yuji doesn't tire of it.
Speaking of which, Qingming has also passed. What were you doing at that time? Hospitalized, practicing, or fighting monsters?
Mom and Dad are in their hometown, far away from here, and it takes a long time to go back and forth, and the relatives of the grandparents are still alive. His parents felt sorry for him and was tired, so they called him and told him not to go back.
He changed his hand again and continued to hold his face in a daze. The class bell rang, and at the same time, the mobile phone in my pocket also vibrated with a text message.
He opened it and saw that it was the official email of the Nanqi Society.
Dear Would-be Demon Slayer,
Hello, you registered as a quasi-demon slayer of our association on April 1st, and you need to complete the D-level task and above as a preliminary task within one month to obtain the qualification of an official demon slayer. As a reminder, you have seven days left to complete your mission. If you fail to complete it on time, you will be disqualified from being a demon slayer and will never be used. The resumption time is as of 0:00 on May 1.
I wish you a smooth journey and success in your first battle!
Human Resource Management Department of Nanqi Society
......
Nanqi Society.
Su Hao once again put on a casual cloak and entered the hall, and the demonic energy detection door was as well-behaved as ever. He walked straight to the wall with the floor map, glanced at the location of the Demon Slayer board, and prepared to walk over.
However, the journey was not smooth. Before he could take a few steps into the corridor, a person came out of the room with his feet in the wind, and before Su Hao could react, he collided with him.
"Ah, I'm sorry. Su Hao apologized for the first time, and the other party also politely said sorry at the same time.
At this time, Su Hao caught a glimpse of something lying on the ground, and thought of the sound of something falling to the ground just now, so he naturally bent down to pick it up and returned it to the other party.
However, in the time of this breath, he saw the thing clearly, and his pupils contracted sharply.
It is a brown wood-colored token, with an ink-style phoenix carved in the center of the palm-sized token. Isn't this pattern similar to Qin Mengyan's Black Snake Token?
"Well, is there something wrong?" Because of a moment of sluggishness, Su Hao's fingers didn't let go, which immediately aroused the suspicion of the other party. Su Hao woke up and hurriedly let go of the apology repeatedly, and by the way, the other party's face came into view.
This is a man with a tough appearance and a sense of line.
"Kong Sui, is there something wrong?" An old woman's voice came from inside the door, Su Hao felt that this voice was a little familiar when he heard it, so he leaned his head to look. Okay, "the road is narrow", isn't this the old lady of Nanqi who was blinded by him.
So, Su Hao, who was also recognized, was invited in for tea. Even if he didn't want to do a hundred things in his heart, he couldn't refuse.
"Kid, have you been doing well lately? Have you encountered incidents such as the bat demon attack? and the equipment you bought back, are you okay with the exercises?"
"It's, well, it's okay....... No, it's a good ......" Su Hao was still immersed in regret, and was a little confused for a while.
"President Nan, you're about to make this kid stupid. Kong Sui on the side reminded in his ear.
"Hehe, look at me. Alas, it's really old," the old woman squinted and smiled when she tested Su Hao's attitude, "Please allow the old man to introduce himself again." The old man's name is Nanqi Feng, and he is the president of this generation of Nanqi Association. ”
"Nanqi Phoenix...... What was the reason before?" Su Hao was shocked.
"Haha, it's nothing to look at the door when you're bored, what, are you surprised?"
"Ah, no, it's not ......" Su Hao touched his head tiredly, only to find a wet patch on his forehead.
Then, he looked at the president and his entourage in front of him and said, "It's been okay lately, thank you for your concern." The bat demon seems to have disappeared as well, probably because he was afraid of being killed and went into hiding. ”
"Is that right?Kong Sui, has the Bat Demon's B-rank mission been completed?" Nan Qifeng looked up and asked Kong Sui, who was standing aside.
"Report to the president, not yet. It's been taken down for the time being, and the intelligence still needs to be calibrated. Kong Sui replied in a standard tone.
"Oh?" Nan Qifeng turned his head back with a smile again, "Su Hao, you haven't taken the novice task for the first month, right?"
"This," the muscles on Su Hao's face twitched stiffly, and he put on a wry smile, "President, don't tease me as a newcomer." This is a B-class mission, two notches below mine. ”
Nan Qifeng instantly made a righteous gesture, pinched his lips and teeth and said: "Hey, how can it be, the president believes in your potential very much, you must not forget the oath you made when you joined our association." This task will be kept for you by the president!"
"Ahh......h Thank you, thank you, revenge still has to be revenged, but please allow the juniors to postpone this topic. ”
"Oh, is there something you want to ask the president?" Nan Qifeng sensed what Su Hao meant.
"Well, just now, the junior gave birth to a question, I don't know if you can answer it......"
"Ask, look at your cuteness, as long as you can know, I will tell you. Nan Qifeng felt that it was not good to continue to tease this child, so he let him go for the time being.
"Then I'll ask. The thing that the senior Kong dropped on the ground just now, that wooden plaque, it is carved with a phoenix, and we are the Nanqi Association, so what does this token mean?"
"You just want to ask this? It's too boring, it's a waste of a good question that the president himself answers. Kong Sui pursed his lips impatiently, and a different kind of light flashed in his eyes.
"Don't be so ruthless," the guild leader said gently, "If you want to know, I'll tell you, this is not an ordinary token, and the certification token issued by the Demon Punishment Alliance represents the status of our Nanqi Society in the Demon Punishment Alliance." The right of the Nanqi Association to operate an association in this province is also granted by the Demon Alliance. ”
"Demon Alliance?" Su Hao repeated, "Is it equivalent to the government of the Demon Eradication Realm?"
"It's not all, it's equivalent to the central line of all trade unions, which has its own direct forces, but has no power to make specific interference with subordinate trade unions. ”
"Oh, it's about the same as the Confederacy, right?" Su Hao noted.
"To some extent, the same can be said," Nan Qifeng smiled kindly, "Also, not everyone can wear this token." In the Nanqi Society, only the president, vice president and branch president are allowed, and we are the main department. ”
Su Hao woke up: "Then say so, he is ......" He glared at Kong Sui and pointed with a finger.
"Hmph. The man clasped his hands on his chest and closed his eyes and raised his head, obviously very dissatisfied with Su Hao's previous thought that he was an entourage.
"Vice President, I have offended a lot before, forgive me. ”
"Be careful next time!"
After a few more short talks, Su Hao saw that the time had come, so he wanted to retreat.
"The president, vice president, and juniors still have something to do, so I'm leaving. Su Hao got up and bowed.
"Come on, newcomer, do a good job. Nan Qifeng's eyes were bent into a crescent moon, which would be regarded as letting him go.
Crunch, after the door closed, Su Hao took a few steps and began to sigh to himself.
"Looks like we're in trouble. ”
Unexpectedly, the red-haired demon slayer named Qin Mengyan turned out to be a figure with quite a status, and there was a weird little snake tattooed on that token, which was probably the Black Snake Society in the same province.
It's really hard to imagine what kind of revenge he will receive if he doesn't die.
"Forget it, people are dead anyway, and my mouth is closed, so I'd better go on the task with peace of mind. ”
Inside the conference room.
"Kong Sui. ”
"What does the president command? ”
"I have something to ask you. Nan Qifeng's expression became a little serious, "Immediately send someone to keep an eye on Su Hao, and then carry out the 'mission inducement'." ”
Task inducement is a secret known to the superiors of the Demon Eradication Association, and there is a professional term for this. As the name suggests, it is to adjust the number of lists, task levels, and nearby personnel to induce the judgment of which task list to be revealed by the monitoring target. Thus the target chooses the task they want him to choose. Su Hao didn't know that he had become the special object of the president's special care.
"Which one do you want to choose?" said Kong Sui was pleased with the president's behavior.
"The C-class mission of L City that I logged out 7 days ago. ”
Kong Sui thought that the president was going to rectify him, but it made him happy. He replied hesitantly: "Why? This task is a partial investigation, and the mission is not very close, and it is difficult to detect his depth." ”
"Who said I wanted to test his strength? L City is at the border point between the forces of the Black Snake Society and the Southern Habitat Society, so I naturally have my intentions in letting him go. ”
"This ......" Kong Sui was completely wrong, he didn't expect Nan Qifeng to not suspect Su Hao and let Su Hao contact the territory related to the Black Snake Society...... No, Nan Qifeng didn't doubt him, but crossed the process of doubt, and chose to help him after drawing conclusions.
Asking the token itself is a somewhat abrupt question, he and Nan Qifeng have been planning and operating in this own territory full of internal and external troubles for more than ten years, and a look and an action can be incorporated into their eyes, allowing them to speculate on the intention and logic behind it.
"Do you have something to say?" Nan Qifeng asked.
"Qi Feng, I think you also thought of something on the token, such as 'he saw something similar', otherwise you wouldn't have sent him to the vicinity of the Black Snake Society's territory. Do you want him to gather information so that he can deal with them?"
Nan Qifeng looked at Kong Sui, and at this moment, her beautiful eyes were a little difficult for him to see.
"That's true, Su Hao, I'm afraid he has already ...... with Qin Fang."
"It's not that I'm afraid, but it's already. I have been tracking and monitoring the two of them, and they have been secretly investigating Su Hao. Recently, Fang Hao had an emotional outbreak, and although he stabilized after that, his demeanor and demeanor have changed visibly. And Qin Mengyan never appeared in the hotel where they stayed again. ”
Nan Qifeng heard that his conjecture was confirmed, and still sighed: "Kong Xun, we and the Black Snake Society are both colleagues and opponents. Although I don't like to show this in front of you, I still want to reveal my heart to you - Su Hao can't die at the moment, he is still of great use to us, and he can't be interfered with by the Black Snake Society; ”
Kong Sui was not a fool, and immediately understood that Nan Qifeng should have thoroughly investigated Su Hao that day, just like him.
He said, "I see, I should support your choice. However, if you use him like this, I am afraid that you will be burned. ”
Nan Qifeng stood up directly from her chair, she turned her back and stared at the distribution map of the Demon Slayer on the wall.
"Burn it, burn it, there are some things that have to be eradicated, even if it is by some shady means. ”
