Chapter 3: Nine Places
Nine is actually not called nine, but an office numbered 328 under the Ministry of State Security, this office has no name, but with the popularity of online novels, more and more people YY special department, "nine places" seems to have become a black word for various brother units to refer to 328.
Until even 328 had someone in charge of calling his unit the Ninth Division, the leader waved his hand, as long as you don't leak secrets, it doesn't matter what you like to call it, and it doesn't matter if you call it the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The unit also arranges 24-hour duty according to the different situations of the staff. So in the wee hours of the morning, long past the 9-to-5 working hours of civil servants, there were still people working at the ninth place.
Yan Yunkai and Zhao Thief were sitting side by side, and across the desk was Zhong Yihu, the leader of the fifth group of the ninth place.
Zhong Yihu took out a form from the drawer, took a pen, and asked, "Name." ”
"Zhao steals the machine."
"Cultivation is nothing but stealing the opportunity of heaven and earth. The name is arrogant enough. Zhong Yihu finished filling in the name column, and said, "You don't remember the body, skip it." Date of birth? Transfiguration? If you can't remember, try to be specific. ”
Zhao closed his eyes and recalled: "...... The cultivation of the Dao body should be in the Sui and Tang dynasties. ”
After a pause, Zhong Yihu raised his head and glanced at him.
Zhao Thief frowned, he didn't know what he thought, his expression became more and more indifferent, and after a while, he opened his eyes, and there was still a vague anger in his eyes, and he said lightly: "There is something wrong with my memory." ”
Zhong Yihu saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, he pondered for a moment and asked, "I heard that you have been in the enchantment for almost eighty years, what have you been doing during this period?" ”
"Recuperate."
"Who hurt you?"
"I don't remember."
"Why is the enchantment placed on Mount Qingcheng?"
"Daomen Holy Land, safe."
Zhong Yihu smashed the word "security", feeling a little strange, a demon thinks that the Taoist holy land is safe? During the Republic of China, the demon clan still didn't like Taoist priests very much, right?
"Are there any people or youkai you know and know you?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know what to ask, I can't let you go." Zhong Yihu closed the lid of the pen, looked at the form that had only filled in a few columns, and shook his head, "Your origin is not clear, if you release it, what is the difference between it and the dangerous elements who are wandering outside?" ”
Zhao was not annoyed, his hands were on the armrests, and Yan Yunkai was separated by a few centimeters on his left hand, as long as he wanted to, he would definitely be able to hold the people around him hostage before Zhong Yihu reacted.
He turned his head sideways and saw Yan Yunkai and his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep, his head drooping, maintaining a position that didn't look very comfortable.
"So?" Zhao Thief lowered his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he was suddenly a pair of golden beast pupils with slender pupils.
Zhong Yihu sat still, blinked his eyes, and his eyes turned light yellow, with a small black pupil in the middle. He said calmly: "If there is something great, I will too." ”
The coercion belonging to the big demon emanated silently, and the air seemed to have weight, which made people uncomfortable. Yan Yunkai raised his head suddenly, his sleepiness dissipated, and he looked at the situation in surprise.
Zhong Yihu explained to him: "I don't know the details of this guy, I can't easily let him enter the WTO, at least I have to observe him for a while." ”
Yan Yunkai rubbed his sour eyes, thought about it for a while, and then spoke: "Then it's okay to stay for the time being, Mr. Zhao originally planned to do so." ”
"Then why does he have such an attitude?" Zhong Yihu didn't believe it.
Yan Yunkai said: "You didn't make it clear just now, he just thought that you were going to be unfavorable to him." ”
Zhao didn't say a word, Yan Yunkai pressed his eyebrows, and continued: "Mr. Zhao should also have a guess in his heart, he has been recuperating in the enchantment for nearly eighty years, and even his memory has gone wrong. Now out of the enchantment, the world has changed the world, and I don't remember who the opponent is, what if I fall into the blood mold. And there are so many rules in the human world, instead of being a black household and being troubled by us every day, it is better to find a place to stay for a while. ”
He didn't have the good energy of the demon clan, so he was really sleepy at this time, so he pulled his tie and said, "What we are worried about is the strength of the big demon of Zhao Thief, and we are afraid that he will harbor evil intentions, and if he is not careful, he will release the fish into the sea." Right? ”
Zhong Yihu nodded.
Yan Yunkai glanced at Zhao Thief obliquely, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, completely forgetting that he would only use this perspective and eyes to catch Kaizi when he was in a bar, but he habitually pulled out a serious and polite smile on his lips: "What did Mr. Zhao say?" ”
Zhao Thief said lightly: "Since you don't trust each other, forget it." ”
"It's better to stay and help for the time being, as long as you don't do anything illegal and undisciplined, we will try our best to help you find out where you came from. Tomorrow you and I draw up a contract, and the violator will be riddled with cause and effect. Yan Yunkai pondered for a moment, "Now that the situation in the human world is not as good as before, your strength is really fearful, and we have a cover here." ”
This is a solution, Zhao Pirate did not object, Zhong Yihu thought about it and felt that it was feasible.
"I'll write an application for you, and when the leader goes to work, you can go back and sleep first." Zhong Yihu said.
"It's too late, I'll just lie here for a while, and the sofa will be borrowed for me." What are you kidding, Zhao Thief made it clear that he wanted to follow him, if he went home, would it be difficult to bring people back? Besides, let him be in the same room with an unfamiliar big demon lonely man and widow man, how could he sleep with peace of mind. Yan Yunkai complained silently, yawned, curled up on the sofa, turned his back to the other two monsters in the office, and quickly fell asleep.
Zhong Yihu turned off the light on the top, leaving only a desk lamp on the desk, and let Zhao steal the machine to make his own way and type the application form on the computer by himself.
The orange-yellow light of the table lamp extends to the edge of the sofa and looks dim and ambiguous, outlining the slightly thin figure of the young man. Zhao Thief Ji sat in a chair, half-closed eyes, and silently stared at the sleeping man.
Yan Yunkai has always had a good quality of sleep, but this night somehow, he didn't sleep very well, and he kept dreaming that he was being chased by wild beasts. The underground office was gone, and I didn't know what time it was when I woke up, but I felt that my back was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and I turned over to look, but I saw Zhong Yihu concentrating on watching the video with headphones, and Zhao Thief Machine sat on the chair, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in, Zhao opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were clear, and he didn't say anything about Yan Yunkai's gaze.
"Yo, they're all here. The boss asked me to run an errand. ”
You You carried a few copies of the breakfast, and he still held the documents in his hand, which was the printed application form, applying for Zhao to temporarily stay in the ninth place to work, but it was not in the establishment, and it was considered a temporary worker. Including Yan Yunkai's promise to Zhao to steal the plane, the official seal was stamped, and two talismans were drawn with cinnabar in the blank space behind it.
This application is in triplicate, let Zhao Thief and Yan Yunkai sign and swear according to their fingerprints, one for Zhao Thief, one for filing, and one for burning.
Cultivators are usually committed to the Heavenly Path, and they are always avoiding too much cause and effect.
After the two of them finished the procedure, Yan Yunkai didn't have the heart to eat breakfast, and planned to go home to wash and make up for sleep.
You You reminded him in a timely manner: "Something happened in Fujian, Xie Zhi took someone over." The local report of the case was relatively late, and the more outrageous the matter became, it caused panic among some residents, and the attention was slightly higher. The boss asks you to contact the relevant units and prepare to clean up the mess. ”
"Got it." Yan Yunkai lifted his suit jacket and untied his tie, revealing a neck as white as jade, he moved his neck and sighed, "I work overtime every day, and my salary does not rise, and it is not easy for poor civil servants to find a partner." ”
"Are you still crying poor? Save it. You You rolled his eyes, Yu Guang saw Zhao stealing the machine, and remembered the peach blossom luck calculated for Yan Yun some time ago, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your conditions are so good, don't worry about getting married." ”
Yan Yunkai waved his hand indescribably, led his new colleagues who were silent, and went home to rest in the morning sun.
He has an apartment in a good residential area near the unit, which is not large, and it is usually enough for one person. At this time, he made an oath that he no longer worried that Zhao would kill him casually, and he acted casually.
"The unit doesn't include food and housing, you can live first, it just happens that the six groups are short of manpower, and you can usually help me." Back at home, Yan Yunkai threw away his coat and unbuttoned his shirt by himself, planning to take a shower first. As soon as I stepped into the bathroom, I remembered that there was one more person in the house, and I couldn't let myself go freely, so I resigned myself to the fate and went back to the bedroom to get a change of clothes.
The sound of water in the bathroom was very disturbing, and Zhao sat on the sofa in the living room, his back straight, and watched the morning news on TV intently.
The bell rang suddenly, and Zhao Jiaoji stared at the mobile phone on the coffee table that kept vibrating until the screen went dark, and after half a minute, the second call came like a life talisman.
Yan Yunkai pulled his slippers and came out of the bathroom, bringing a burst of moisture, he leaned down and picked up his mobile phone, and connected the call: "What's the matter?" ”
"You're on a business trip." Said on the other end of the phone.
"What's that? I just returned to Beijing. Yan Yunkai shook his wet hair, and the end of his hair splashed in all directions.
Zhao Thief Machine was splashed by cold water droplets, raised his head with an unkind face, and saw Yan Yunkai standing next to him talking on the phone, he didn't notice his appearance at all, so he had to wipe his face, let go of the side, and sat on the edge of the sofa.
"Also, that person's temporary ID card has been issued, come and get it."
"Come on, let's go back later." Yan Yunkai glanced at Zhao's machine, and then made two more calls on the other end of the phone, and casually threw the phone on the coffee table, "I have to go to the unit later, do you want to take a bath?" ”
"No, you don't."
"If you use spells for everything, you lose a lot of fun in life." Yan Yunkai shook his head in disapproval, and noticed the long shirt again, "It's too eye-catching to wear like this, I'll take you to buy daily necessities and new clothes in the afternoon, you may not be able to wear my clothes......"
Zhao watched him go back to the bedroom, and after a while, he came out in a suit. His freshly washed hair was dried and obediently tied back as he buttoned a watch to his wrist and straightened his sleeves to reveal cufflinks designed in the shape of a skull.
In every gesture, a cold male fragrance floats in the air, implicitly and covertly showing off the amorous style.
Although Zhao Theft Machine has incomplete memory, he still feels that he has never seen such a poor and exquisite man in his long career.
In the morning, the unit building is on the basement floor.
The overall decoration of this floor is particularly business-like, and after the elevator door is opened, it is facing a wall, hanging the honors of the unit over the years. Entering along the corridor, each room is marked with a purpose, which is concise and clear.
Since the reform of the Central Military Commission, the Ninth Division has been divided into five groups according to the five major war divisions, which are in charge of various localities, and six groups have also been set up, which are said to be logistical but in fact handle all kinds of miscellaneous matters.
One group dealt with this part of the Central Theater, and the team leader was also the deputy director of the Ninth Division, a monk in his early thirties, named Liu Zhenyan.
"Let me tell you, don't look at him as a monk, his personality is not Buddhist at all, and his compassion is cultivated to the belly of a dog." Yan Yunkai complained to Zhao and knocked on the door of Liu Zhenyan's office.
Behind the desk sat a bald man with a cigarette in his mouth and said nonchalantly, "Can you stop me at the door when you say bad things about me?" What about when I'm deaf? ”
As he spoke, he clipped a card to his fingertip and with a flick of his wrist, it flew towards the door.
Yan Yunkai turned sideways flexibly, and Zhao Thief stretched out a hand from behind him and caught the card.
"Your temporary ID card, use it first."
Zhao took a look at it and put the documents away.
Liu Zhenyan glanced at Zhao Theft, raised his eyebrows slightly, and teased: "It's the type you like." ”
"You are a group, the upper beam is really crooked, and the lower beam is crooked, You You catches who will give whom the marriage problem, when will it be changed." Yan Yunkai was very invisible, pulled a chair and sat down, "What's wrong with Fujian?" ”
"A small fishing village by the sea, said that there is a group of water ghosts, and the people over there believe in Mazu, and there is a vision in the Mazu Temple. Fishermen are already very taboo about this, and when there is a disturbance, it will be big. You know, the second person, there are a group of demons and monsters under his hands, and there is no one who teaches spells. Liu Zhenyan shook the ashes of his cigarette, "Our group can't leave Beijing without permission, and the other groups don't have enough manpower, so we have to be optimistic about our own territory, for fear that we will be attacked by people when the time comes, so we can only go to the six of you." ”
"It's just a water ghost, ordinary Taoist priests can solve it."
"No, a lot of water ghosts." Liu Zhenyan emphasized, "A lot. ”
