Chapter 5
Chapter 5
A long time ago, Xiao Zhuo saved a couple.The couple were kicked out of the tribe, covered in scars and desperate, and were about to be torn and eaten by wild beasts.He then somehow showed up and rescued the two men.The couple was still holding a fragile and thin baby in their arms. They knelt down and bowed to him gratefully, insisting on saying that they wanted to thank him.
Xiao Zhuo saw that they really had nothing to offer, so he asked them to remember their own appearance, and go back to draw and offer it occasionally.Although human offerings are insignificant, faith can also enhance demon power.
He didn't expect much at the time, after all, human beings are fickle and hypocritical.But he didn't expect that after such a long time, the human descendants he saved back then would still keep that promise.
After a while, the old lady came out slowly with a glass of water.
Xiao Zhuo went to fetch the water, sat down and listened to the grandmother say: "My grandson is a policeman. He has been excellent and sensible since he was a child, and he has a sense of justice. I have always been very proud of him. But since he jumped into the water a week ago to save After a girl who committed suicide and jumped into the river, she has been in a coma and never woke up again. She is still in the intensive care unit of the hospital. The hospital has done all kinds of tests, but the reason for his coma cannot be found. Everyone secretly said that he has become a vegetative state. It's hard to wake up again."
She said while wiping away her tears silently: "My grandson is still young and his life has just begun. How could he become a vegetable? I feel sorry for him. His parents left early, and they have suffered a lot with me since childhood. Over the years, the two of us If something happens to him, how can I survive? I hope that he will wake up early, and don't let my old woman with white hair send a black-haired person. If you can really help him, let me do anything. "
The old grandma said that she was in tears, and her expression was sad and painful. She was obviously desperate to the extreme, so she knew that Xiao Zhuo, a stranger, might not be able to help at all, and she had no choice but to hold on to this only straw.
Xiao Zhuo can't quite understand this kind of human emotion.After all, he was raised by nature, and he never saw his parents when he was born.Later, although I lived with an annoying monster for a period of time, it was far from being as rich in emotions as humans.
A monster's life is long and tedious, and it doesn't suffer from passing away.Emotions are such a thing as the exclusive privilege of human beings, making them both happy and sad.
"I will do my best." Xiao Zhuo promised.
The person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell, Xiao Zhuo asked about the hospital where the old grandma's grandson was and the river he rescued, then got up and said goodbye and went straight to the hospital.
The hospital at night is still brightly lit, people come and go, there are anxious faces everywhere, and there is a strong smell of disinfectant.
Xiao Zhuo set up a barrier for himself to avoid being discovered by humans, and then followed a nurse into the intensive care unit where the old man's grandson was.
The intensive care unit is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop, only the sound of instruments can be heard from time to time.The nurse hung up the water, and recorded the patient's physical data, and then walked out of the ward, leaving Xiao Zhuo and the unconscious man lying on the hospital bed alone.
The man's identity information was pasted above the hospital bed, his name was Xie Yanrong, and he was 24 years old.
Xie Yanrong was wearing a hospital gown, lying quietly, his face was pale without any trace of blood.Xiao Zhuo touched Xie Yanrong's eyebrows with his fingertips.He did seem to be in a coma at first glance, and it's no wonder that the hospital couldn't find any problems with his body.Because Xiao Zhuo found out that Xie Yanrong was fine, he just lost his soul.
If Xie Yanrong's soul can't be found, he will fall into a deep sleep like this, and there is no way to wake up again.
Wanting to find the soul, all Xiao Zhuo can think of is the river where Xie Yanrong saved people.He decided to go to the river first to see the situation.
Taking advantage of the time when the nurse came in to change the water, Xiao Zhuo quickly disappeared in place.
In the corridor, the young nurse who passed by Xiao Zhuo and accidentally touched him suddenly froze, and said to the nurse beside him, "It's strange, why do I feel that someone just walked by and touched me?"
She turned her head while talking, but there was no one in the corridor.
"Is it your illusion?" The nurse smiled disapprovingly, "Apart from us in the corridor, how can there be anyone else?"
The young nurse nodded: "That's right. Maybe I'm too sleepy. I need to get a good night's sleep when I get off work tonight."
She secretly decided that she must not stay up late to watch dramas tonight, otherwise it would not be good to continue like this, and even hallucinations would come out.
Xiao Zhuo didn't know about this little incident caused by him, he followed the road that the old grandmother had pointed out to him earlier, and soon arrived at the river beside the city smoothly.
The river runs across Haicheng, and the river is wide, meandering and flowing into the distance.For the convenience of citizens' activities, a riverside road is built on the river bank, and a wetland park for sports and leisure is also built.At this time, the wind blowing from the riverside is comfortable and cool.
It was past eleven o'clock when Xiao Zhuo arrived, and there was hardly anyone to be seen on Binhe Road.
He walked down the steps of the Embankment Road until he reached the edge of the river.
The river is clear, with ripples under the caress of the breeze.Xiao Zhuo put the hair he pulled out from Xie Yanrong in his palm, and then submerged his whole hand into the river.
At first the river was silent and nothing unusual, but after a while, a huge vortex suddenly rolled up in the middle, and then a figure emerged from the bottom of the water.
The man had neat short hair and a dull expression.Wearing a gray T-shirt and black trousers, he was exactly the same as Xie Yanrong who was lying in the intensive care unit.
Xiao Zhuo called out: "Xie Yanrong?"
When Xie Yanrong was called out, his dazed expression instantly sobered up.He looked at Xiao Zhuo in confusion: "Who are you?"
"The person looking for you." Xiao Zhuo said: "Your name is Xie Yanrong, 24 years old, a policeman, the soul of a girl who committed suicide a week ago was lost in the water. Your parents died in an accident, and you have lived with your grandma since childhood..."
"Do you remember it?"
Following Xiao Zhuo's narration, Xie Yanrong remembered more and more, and the past quickly rushed through his mind like a revolving lantern.He regained his sobriety, recalling the past, his face was full of surprise and fear.
"I... am I still alive?"
"still has not now."
"Is my grandma okay?"
"It's fine, I'm just worried about you."
Xie Yanrong heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Xiao Zhuo.Xiao Zhuo was dressed in a clean white robe, his long hair was tied up casually, and his appearance was particularly good-looking, with a sense of immortality all over his body.He couldn't help asking: "What about you? How can you see me? Are you a fairy?"
Xiao Zhuo couldn't help laughing, shook his head and didn't answer Xie Yanrong: "It's getting late, let's go back to your seat first."
In the intensive care unit of the hospital, Xie Yanrong bowed reverently to Xiao Zhuo and thanked him: "Thank you for saving me. It's okay if you don't want to reveal your name. If I can see you again in the future, I will definitely thank you very much."
Xiao Zhuo didn't say much about it, because he knew very well that when Xie Yanrong woke up, he would forget everything that happened when his soul left his body.
After Xie Yanrong's soul returned to his place, Xiao Zhuo also left the hospital.
After a while, the nurse in charge of taking care of Xie Yanrong pushed in the door and took Xie Yanrong's temperature and physical signs as usual, but suddenly found that Xie Yanrong's fingers moved slightly.
She became excited in an instant, and hurriedly rang the bedside bell and said, "The patient is awake, hurry up and notify Director Chen."
Xie Yanrong was in a coma for nearly a week, and all examinations showed no abnormalities, and there was no sign of waking up during this period.Waking up suddenly now has to be called a miracle.
In a room in the neighborhood where the lights were still on, an elderly grandmother was sitting by the bed, holding Xie Yanrong's photo and weeping silently.
There was silence around her, but the old man's mobile phone she put on the bedside table rang suddenly.
The old grandma answered the phone tremblingly. After listening to what the other party said, she burst into tears of joy: "Okay, okay. Just wake up, grandma is fine, everything is fine. Just wait, grandma will come here soon."
She hung up the phone, quickly picked up her things and prepared to go out.Before walking out the door, he thought of something for no reason, and quickly turned back, and respectfully put a stick of incense on the portrait.
Zheng Qing was very busy with work, and after that night, he didn't come back for two consecutive nights.
On the third day, Xiao Zhuo received a call into the villa, informing him that all the formalities had been completed, and he could report to the Demon Control Bureau today.
It was Zhu Yu who called to inform, and asked Xiao Zhuo specifically if he could find the way?If he can't find it, he will come and pick it up.
Xiao Zhuo had received a lot of human knowledge recently, and he thought that this matter would not trouble him, and he didn't want to bother Zhu Yu, so he said that he didn't need to come to pick it up, and that he would be fine in the past.
But when he was actually walking, Xiao Zhuo realized that he had far underestimated the complexity of human buildings and roads. Every road is the same, and every building is the same.As he walked, he didn't know where he was.
Instead, he went around and walked into an alley, which made Xiao Zhuo accidentally discover the recruitment information.
The recruitment information looks very attractive, the most important thing is that there is no education requirement, as long as he can endure hardships and stand hard work, Xiao Zhuo thinks he can still endure hardships.
He went in for an interview by the way.
The manager in charge of the interview shook his head when he saw Xiao Zhuo: "We are exposed to wind and sun in this industry, and we need to be strong. You are definitely not good at it. You should do something else."
"It's okay, I can do it." Xiao Zhuo said seriously, seeing a fish tank in the corner, he walked over to lift it up.He was not out of breath when he lifted the fish tank, and smiled at the manager: "Look, I didn't lie, did I? I have been strong since I was a child, and I am not afraid of hardship. I just can't get tanned, there is no way."
The fish tank weighed more than 200 catties at least. The employees present were stunned when they saw this scene. They really didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to be so strong when he looked thin and weak.
"So handsome." Someone said to the manager: "Manager, you should just hire him, he looks good too."
The manager couldn't hide his nervousness. He watched Xiao Zhuo put down the precious fish tank, and then said: "That's fine, let you try it first. The trial period is seven days. If you can do it, you will become a regular."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhuo's long hair again: "But your hair has to be cut off, we also need to pay attention to our image in this business."
Xiao Zhuo nodded and said good, he has no objection to this.He has long discovered that men nowadays don't have long hair, so it's good to do as the Romans do.
Finding a good job and walking out from the alley, Xiao Zhuo happened to meet Zhu Yu who had been waiting for him for a long time and came out to look for him.
Zhu Yu has already completed the relevant procedures for entering the job, and Xiao Zhuo only needs to enter the facial recognition and fingerprints.
After recording these, Zhu Yu deliberately took Xiao Zhuo to the Special Operations Department.As the new consultant of the Demon Control Bureau, Xiao Zhuo will inevitably have to deal with the Special Operations Department in the future.
The special warfare department is on the No.20 floor of the building.Xiao Zhuo followed Zhu Yu and pushed open the door of the Special Operations Department, and a wooden table flew towards them from the sky.Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo reacted very quickly and quickly raised his hand, so that the table didn't hit his face.
The interior of the Special Warfare Department is also quite spectacular. The tables are tilted here and there, the floor is in a mess, and a few pieces of the ceiling have fallen off. The mess is so messy that there is no place to stand.
A beautiful woman in a long skirt dragged her fox tail and chased after a muscular man, cursing at the same time, her face almost distorted: "Li Huaqing, say it again! Who are you talking about is older? Who is old? You want to court death, don't you?"
Li Huaqing was extremely embarrassed by being chased. Even so, he refused to admit defeat in the slightest. While running away, he retorted: "What I said is the truth. You are over 1000 years old. Are you still not old? Can you stop deceiving yourself?"
Zhu Yu caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhuo's unconcealed surprised expression, and was immediately a little embarrassed. After all, he was also a member of the Special Warfare Division, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed at this time.
"The two of them never get along, Zheng Chu doesn't do this often, just get used to it." Zhu Yu explained, and coughed a few times to attract the attention of the two of them.
Hearing the sound of coughing, the office of the Special Warfare Division fell silent instantly.The woman quickly put away the tail that she couldn't hide because of her anger, and straightened her messy hair again, so she looked quite gentle and elegant.The man also quickly patted the footprints on his trouser legs, looking serious with a straight face.
"This is Xiao Zhuo, the new Lord Si Yao." Zhu Yu introduced.
Then he introduced to Xiao Zhuo: "This is Hu Wanwan. This is Li Huaqing. The other team members are out on business, so let's get to know each other slowly in the future."
Both Hu Wanwan and Li Huaqing knew about Xiao Zhuo's deeds.They originally thought that a big monster like Xiao Zhuo would be difficult to get along with, but they didn't expect that the other party seemed so gentle and approachable.No wonder Zhu Yu became a fan of Xiao Zhuo after seeing him, and praised everyone he met.
After greeting each other friendly, Zhu Yu took Xiao Zhuo to the No.20 floor.
"Your office is next to Mr. Zheng. According to Mr. Zheng's orders, everything in the office has been repurchased. If you find anything missing or dissatisfied, please tell me."
The office in front of me is very spacious, and the floor-to-ceiling windows can see the scenery outside the window, which is unobstructed.The desk, computer, etc. are all brand new, and there are tea tables and sofas beside them. On the opposite wall is a large-screen TV, which is quite luxurious.
"I don't need these." Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said, "I have already found a job."
He is now more interested in humans than monsters.After all, the demon has been the same since ancient times, and it really hasn't changed much.
Zhu Yu immediately respected Xiao Zhuo upon hearing this.As expected of a big monster in the secret path, he found a job so quickly.Unlike him, when he first entered human society, he couldn't find a job for several months. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to be admitted to the Demon Control Bureau, otherwise he would starve to death now.
The author has something to say: Xiao Zhuo: As expected of me (?ε`*)
