Chapter 314: I Don't Like Demon Spirits
Outside the school gate, a black SUV wrapped in heavy armor is parked.
Against the backdrop of the dim rain curtain, this rugged steel beast gives people a sense of oppressive deterrence.
In addition, on both sides of the body, there is a silver spray paint pattern of 'a rectangle with an eye inlaid in the middle', which has a faint luster, like the gaze of a predator who is about to choose a person to devour.
"Get in the car."
The man opened the car door and carried Chu Qi into the belly of the steel beast with an umbrella.
The cheap black suit, paired with this off-road vehicle that can be seen from the appearance of the expensive off-road vehicle, gives people a sense of inconsistency.
So it is clear that the ownership of this car does not belong to him.
The paint on the door already indicates that it belongs to a specialized organization, the Thousand Machine Eye Security Company.
"Roar~"
As soon as he took his seat, the round black shadow on the co-pilot's head against the roof of the car struggled to move his fat ass in this 'small' space, turned sideways, and stretched out a fleshy claw to Chu Qi.
As the thick bear's paw opens, you can see that in the middle is a piece of golden, lightly scented bee candy.
However...
For this kind act, Chu Qi, who was originally a humble son in everyone's impression, had an unconcealable disgust on his face, and turned his head aside to not look at the fat 'brute bear' who looked like a ball of meat.
"Roar~"
Seeing that Chu Qi ignored himself, the brute bear blinked his little eyes, stretched his paws forward, and shook them slightly.
Under this repeated urging, Chu Qi finally stretched out his index finger and thumb impatiently, and twisted the bee candy in disgust.
He didn't eat it, but stuffed it into the side pocket of his bag.
Still, the bear grinned in satisfaction, retracted its paws, and gently licked the remaining sweetness.
This cute and cute appearance, if it is placed in the amusement park, it will be a check-in point for tourists to queue up to take pictures.
But alas...
This 'brute bear' is a man's demon spirit.
Before he suffered from binge eating disorder, the man's job happened to be a front-line searcher.
As a searcher, a wild bear who is so fat that he even struggles to walk the aisle, is obviously unqualified...
'Bang! β
The man who put in the umbrella and got into the car, closed the car door, looked back and asked, "Is it cold?" Turn on a heater for you? β
"No, you don't."
Chu Qishu stretched out his brow that had just tightened and shook his head slightly.
"The rear seat of this car has a massage function, which is very relaxing, do you want to try it?"
"No, you don't."
β...β
The atmosphere was a little stiff.
It's not that Chu Qi has a bad relationship with his biological father, on the contrary, he will send a text message to ask the other party to pick him up, which is just a manifestation of missing.
It's just that...
He is already sixteen years old, and even if he hasn't seen his father for a long time, he can't run and pounce on him and shout 'Dad, I miss you so much' like he did when he was six years old.
The older I get, the more reserved I am about the emotional expression of my parents...
"Whoa, whoa..."
There was a brief silence, except for the sound of brute bears chewing on food.
Binge eating disorder is characterized by eating all the time... Eat all the time... Eat all the time...
The more anxious I feel about my fat body, the greater the desire to eat, even if I vomit, I have to continue eating...
With such a large body size, combined with an insatiable amount of food, not to mention the medical expenses for treatment, the cost of food alone is a lot of money...
"By the way, the company has recently developed a new piece of equipment, which is quite interesting."
After being silent for a while, the man seemed to remember something, took a long silver metal box and handed it to Chu Qi.
"What is this?"
Chu Qi asked curiously.
"It's called 'Thousand Receivers', don't look at its size, it's a lot of stuff inside."
The man smiled and introduced, "You press the button on the side." β
'Hmmm'
Chu Qi, who did as he said, made a roll of hemostatic bandages pop out of the metal box.
Then, without a male professor, he fumbled for a button at the top, and then popped out a grip.
After gently pulling it out, it was found to be a sharp dagger.
"What if you press these two buttons together? Is there downtime? β
After inserting the dagger back, Chu Qi asked with interest.
Although he has been cultivated by his stepfather over the years, he has become more noble than ordinary rich children.
But boys of this age are always not resistant to this kind of exquisitely designed mechanical products.
"If you press it at the same time, it may be to cut the opponent first, and then quickly pop out the bandage to stop the bleeding, begging the opponent not to die, hahahahaha..."
The man guessed uncertainly, but imagined the funny picture in his mind, but he laughed out loud.
Chu Qi couldn't help but laugh along.
Unconsciously, the embarrassment that the father and son had not seen for a long time had disappeared, and the subsequent chat was no longer stumbling, but very smooth.
'That's wonderful...'
Chu Qi couldn't help but think.
He has the impression that no matter what the situation, men can always make people laugh.
Pity...
Humor alone is obviously not enough to sustain a marriage.
Relying on his eloquent sense of humor, good looks, and a career as a searcher, the man was able to stand out from the crowd of suitors and chase down his beautiful mother, who is an opera singer.
And for the sake of love, the princess is also willing to give up a higher quality of life and live a well-off life with a man who is not so good in terms of financial resources.
Even if...
She occasionally envies her girlfriends in the same opera troupe back then, showing all kinds of luxury bags and jewelry every day, traveling abroad every now and then, shouting in Versailles that the workers want to refuel, but driving a luxury car to live in a villa.
However, when her best friend complains to her about her husband's inconsiderate and cold feelings, she will also be satisfied with the meticulous and small luck given by the man.
If nothing else, the two should go to the end with the title of model couple.
But...
When you think there will be no accidents, there will often be accidents - the wild bear that grew up with Chu Qi suffered from bulimia without warning.
It was said that there was no warning, but in fact it was expected.
Because the brute bear contracted by the man has long been told that it has genetic defects.
He made it back knowing that it was flawed.
In those days, it was not uncommon for young people to make similar choices.
Because at that time, if you want to become a demon envoy, you can only contract a demon spirit after being admitted to a relevant major at the university.
After all, at that time, the official strict control of demon spirits almost reached the level of monopoly, and there was no legal formal channel for the outside world to buy demon spirits.
Nowadays, it was unimaginable to go to the street and buy a favorite demon spirit to go home at the cultivation house.
Due to the planned distribution of demon spirits, the society urgently needs a large number of demon envoys to invest in various tasks, so some unreasonable policies have emerged - college entrance examination candidates with insufficient scores can choose demon spirits with defective contracts to become demon envoys.
Chu Qi's father was a member of this policy back then.
In fact, being identified as a defective demon does not necessarily mean that it will show defects, but from the perspective of genetic genetics, there is a considerable probability of disease.
If you don't have the probability of getting sick, then it's no different from a normal demon spirit, which makes many people willing to gamble.
Apparently...
Men's luck is not so good.
After suffering from bulimia, the bear's weight gain has increased dramatically, making it impossible for him to work on the front line.
Fortunately, the iron rice bowl in the system did not make the man unemployed, but was just transferred to logistics.
Conversely, wages have also fallen by a large margin.
As the saying goes, the way to save money lies in 'opening up sources and reducing expenditures', but he has been 'saving sources and opening up streams' since then.
The medical expenses and large food expenses of binge eating disorder have made the already meager salary even worse.
Not to mention, there is also a wife who pays great attention to the quality of life at home, as well as a cub of the 'four-legged gold-swallowing beast'.
If life is compared to firewood, rice, oil and salt, then for Chu Qi's mother, the dilemma she faces is that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
O'Henry's ending is both unexpected and reasonableβthe two who came together despite difficulties are separated by greater difficulties.
In order to make more money, the man quit his iron job in the system and chose to go to a security company.
His outstanding professionalism was well recognized during the interview.
But the chubby brute bear is also more than willing to work and not enough.
Generally speaking, after giving up the benefits in the system, it seems that the money you earn is too much, but in fact it seems that it is not much.
Fortunately...
Chu Qi's hot mom is still powerful.
Even if he divorced at the age of thirty and had a baby, he still relied on the charm of an opera singer to easily find a rich man who was also divorced.
Chu Qi, who is impeccable in all aspects, is also expected to crush her stepfather's biological daughter who can't do anything in the future and become the heir to the business empire...
"Anyway, the second year of high school is going to be divided into classes, son, are you going to apply for the academic department or the demon department?"
After the chat, the man was concerned about Chu Qi's future plans.
"Academic Section."
Chu Qi blurted out without thinking.
There was no difference between the answer given to the father and the answer given to the girl before.
"Why didn't you report to the Demon Family?"
The man asked, "How handsome is it to represent Minfu Province in the national competition when the time comes!" And to be able to bring your family on TV together, your mother's dream has always been to appear in front of a national audience..."
"I don't like Wives."
Listening to the man's chattering persuasion, Chu Qi interrupted lightly.
To be precise, he doesn't have an obvious liking or dislike for demons, but because he hates those flawed spirits, he has no sense of them, so he never considered pursuing the profession of demon envoy.
After all...
If it weren't for the brute bear, his parents would not be separated, and he would have had a normal family.
β...β
The man pursed his lips, glanced at the brute bear in the passenger seat who had obviously paused for a moment, and then freed his right hand from the steering wheel and held its bear paw, "If you become a demon envoy, the demon spirit will be a loyal companion for a lifetime." β
"Isn't a flawed demon spirit just dragging down your life?"
Chu Qi pursed his lips.
"When God closes a door, he will always open a window."
The man whispered, "The meaning of a partner is to achieve unexpected things in unexpected situations, even if it is a flawed demon spirit, as long as you take it seriously, it will never let you down." β
β...β
Chu Qi opened his mouth, but still chose to be silent.
If he wants to refute, there can be a hundred ways.
It's just that he doesn't want to have a stiff relationship with his father because of unimportant things.
"I'm going to travel to Southeast Asia during the summer vacation."
Chu Qi changed the subject.
"Do you want to travel in a group?"
"Free travel."
"That's not going to work, it's dangerous!"
"There are bodyguards."
β... Well, then pay attention to safety as well, and remember to call me every day to report that I am safe. β
