Lin Ze was a little confused when Lin Ziyu mentioned Li Muhan's name.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at this talented boy who had just turned eighteen.
"Don't you want to inherit your captain's legacy?"
Lin Ziyu lowered his head, looked at the coffee in the cup and smiled bitterly.
"Perhaps the person who can best inherit his legacy is Li Muhan. The person who witnessed the captain's last blow was also Li Muhan."
Lin Ze nodded slightly.
She looked at the appointment letter of captain of Team 7 that she had just handed over, and asked one last question.
"Are you sure? Sign now and I won't regret it."
"Don't ask anymore, Bureau Lin. I don't have the ability. And that's probably what you meant, otherwise you wouldn't have given General Fu General Suppressing Demon to him for safekeeping."
Lin Ze smiled bitterly.
"I may not be able to return it to me tomorrow morning."
"He won't."
Lin Ziyu is very determined. This seems to be the most determined sentence he has said since he was born.
"I know he won't."
So Lin Ze didn't insist anymore. He would take care of other matters. Now it depends on Li Muhan's opinion.
Early the next morning, Li Muhan was called to the Special Management Bureau by Lin Ze.
"Well, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to call me here."
Sitting in Lin Ze's office, Li Muhan was a little embarrassed. He thought Lin Ze asked him to return the knife, so he deliberately carried the long knife in the bag behind him.
You must know that he took the elevator from the back door of the bank, and he had a knife on his back. If someone saw him, he would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"So what are you thinking about?"
"It's only 9 o'clock in the morning. You just went to work and you are so anxious."
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said jokingly: "Of course, who makes you a talent? I cherish talent the most."
After a few brief greetings, Lin Ze went straight to the point and threw a document on the table.
"Let's take a look. If you don't have any objections, just sign it quickly."
Lin Ze's eyes had heavy dark circles, and he could tell that he had stayed up late again last night.
Li Muhan picked up the document, and when he read the title, his hands were shaking with fear.
"Team 7, captain appointment letter!? Bureau Lin, did you get it wrong!? Shouldn't I sign a labor contract?"
"Why are you panicking? A labor contract is indispensable. We are a state agency after all. Please sign this for me first."
There was no doubt in Lin Ze's words, but Li Muhan couldn't just sign this in a daze, he had to ask clearly.
"I can't sign this thing unless you explain it clearly to me."
Li Muhan put the documents back on the table.
"The other members of Team 7 unanimously elected you. Is this reason enough?"
Lin Ze walked to the window and lit a cigarette.
Li Mu really wanted to tell her that it was underground now and there was no point in smoking while standing by the window.
After hearing what Lin Ze said, Li Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the battle last night and Huo Tian's knife.
"I...don't qualify."
Finally, Li Muhan slowly lowered his head.
As a person who was not sure whether to join the Special Administration Bureau yesterday, he felt that he was not qualified to carry Huo Tian's sense of mission.
It’s not that I’m unwilling, but that I don’t have the qualifications.
"Don't be such a pussy."
Lin Ze looked out the window, exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
"It was you who witnessed his last battle, and you who brought his body back. No one is more qualified than you. Of course, if you really don't want to sign, I won't force you, but this seventh team may It’s about to disband.”
"ah?"
Li Muhan raised his head and looked at Lin Ze in confusion.
"Lin Ziyu, Su Xue, and Yin Qi, they are all qualified to be captains, why must it be me."
"It can only be you, it must be you, Li Muhan. It is true that they are more experienced than you and have a deeper bond with Huo Tian, but in the end, this knife is in your hand. If you feel that you are not qualified, , just try your best to be able to bear this expectation, do you understand?"
Li Muhan was silent.
He felt the black Tang Dao behind him, as if at this moment, the Tang Dao was emitting residual heat, as if Huo Tian was patting his back gently with his hand.
Then he said in the tone of an old smoker.
"Boy, I leave it to you."
Li Muhan silently took the document and signed his name.
"I can't guarantee that I will do well, but I will try my best to respond to everyone's expectations."
Lin Ze turned around, put out the cigarette butt, smiled and said.
“You just have to respond to your own heart.”
Then Lin Ze took Li Muhan to go through the entry procedures.
From this point on, Li Muhan became an official member of the Special Administration Bureau.
Unexpectedly, he had just joined the job and already had a new job, and before he could take up the position of captain, Lin Ze took an external transfer report and said to Li Muhan.
"Team 9 wants to borrow you temporarily."
The ninth team of the Special Administration Bureau is not part of the headquarters, but is a team affiliated with the Supernatural Management Section. It is also called the Special Paranormal Events Handling Team. As the name suggests, the cases they are responsible for are usually supernatural cases involving ghosts.
In this world, in addition to the legendary monsters, there are also some monsters and monsters that humans cannot understand.
The Special Administration Bureau has a department dedicated to dealing with evil spirits, which is the Supernatural Management Section. There are five teams under it, and the most representative one is the Ninth Team.
"Why do you want to borrow me? Doesn't Team 9 have a specially assigned alien?"
"Team 9 has encountered some trouble recently. Their alien emotions are a bit unstable, so they need to second members from other departments."
"But looking at it now, the new members of your seventh team have no other missions for the time being."
"You are the captain now. This is unprecedented for an alien to be the captain. Taking this opportunity to win over other team members is a matter of course. Do you understand?"
Lin Ze talked a lot, and Li Muhan was confused, but a new official would have to make a lot of noise when he takes office.
"Okay, Forest Bureau, I listen to you."
In the end, Lin Ze took the document, but when he came out, he found that many staff members had something strange in their eyes when they looked at Li Muhan.
And the content of their conversation was all about becoming the captain.
Li Muhan smiled bitterly, this is the disadvantage of airborne landing. ...
Early the next morning, Li Muhan was woken up by the ringing of the phone. When he looked at his phone, it turned out to be a call from Gu Ruoxi's mother.
"Xiaohan, it's me, Aunt Jiang."
Gu Ruoxi's mother's surname was Jiang. She was also a daughter of a wealthy family in her early years, but she married Gu Ruoxi's father when her family fell into decline.
"I know, Aunt Jiang, what do you want so early?"
Li Muhan was still a little dazed, probably because he had just woken up, and suddenly he didn't remember that he had saved Gu Ruoxi's life last night.
"Xiaohan, uh... I'm in the hospital now. Xiaoxi did some tests last night."
"Oh, is she hurt?"
Li Muhan's tone was calm and he didn't seem to care about Mother Jiang's reaction.
"No, no, it's all thanks to you, Xiaohan. Xiaoxi said you saved her, she was just a little frightened. The doctor said she should stay in the hospital for observation for two days. It just so happened that the police were coming to ask Xiaoxi for questioning in the past two days. "
"Well, it's okay."
"Xiaohan, aunt already knows what happened between you and Xiaoxi."
Aunt Jiang's words made Li Muhan silent. He didn't know what to say. After all, these two elders were very kind to him. He shouldn't be angry with them about the facts about himself and Gu Ruoxi.
"It's okay, Auntie, you and Uncle Gu are like my parents, and what happened between her and me will not affect this."
"Xiaohan, Auntie shouldn't have said anything about the two of you, but... couples will quarrel, and you young people shouldn't be so impulsive when they quarrel."
Li Muhan suddenly wanted to laugh. He probably knew the reason why Aunt Jiang said this.
It was pointed out that Gu Ruoxi didn't tell the truth to her mother at all, and she didn't say that she was kicked out because she was hooked up with a rich man.
"This is not as simple as a quarrel, Auntie, it's okay, we're over it, don't worry, it's a peaceful breakup."
"Xiaohan, your Uncle Gu and I want to treat you to a meal. See if you can..."
Li Muhan scratched his head and sat up a little straighter. Only then did he notice that Xia Yue was sleeping comfortably on top of him under the quilt.
Looking at Xia Yue's cute sleeping face, Li Muhan couldn't help but smile.
As for Aunt Jiang...
"How can I ask you to treat us, Aunt Jiang? You and your uncle have come all the way, so we juniors should be allowed to show off. In this way, Auntie, I will book a place to eat first, and I will let you know when I have made the reservation."
"Oh, Xiaohan is so sensible, and that auntie won't be polite to you anymore."
"Okay, Auntie, if everything is okay..."
"......very noisy."
Suddenly, Xia Yue, who was still sleeping, muttered something.
It seemed that her voice on the phone had disturbed her sleep.
"Xiao, Xiaohan, do you have any guests?"
Aunt Jiang obviously heard Xia Yue's voice, and she asked with some confusion.
"Well, Aunt Jiang, I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you for now. I will contact you later."
After speaking, Li Muhan hung up the phone, and then used the corner of the phone to poke Xia Yue's face, who was still lying on top of him.
"what......"
Xia Yue opened her eyes dissatisfied.
Li Muhan was surprised to find that she didn't seem to have just woken up, but had been eavesdropping on his phone call for a long time.
So what she suddenly said just now meant she was expressing her dissatisfaction?
"Gu Ruoxi's parents came to Tianhai City. They have taken good care of me since I was a child, so I am going to have a meal with them tonight."
"...You don't need to tell me."
Xia Yue was still lying on Li Muhan, seemingly not wanting to move her body.
Li Muhan smiled and rubbed Xia Yue's hair with his hand.
"Then why don't you get up quickly?"
"Aren't you going to have dinner tonight? What are you doing up now?"
He knew that Xia Yue didn't want to go by herself, but she had no reason to stop her, so she left herself on the sofa in such a shameless way.
"I don't care, but those two are equivalent to half of my parents. Are you sure you want to wear my ill-fitting clothes to see them?"
"?"
Xia Yue suddenly froze, and then slowly lay on Li Muhan's body, looking up at Li Muhan with a pair of smart eyes.
"What's the meaning."
"I just want you to come with me."
"...what am I going to do."
"You are my guarantor. Our relationship is not ordinary now. Once I leave you for 24 hours, I will be wanted by the Special Administration Bureau!"
Li Muhan raised his finger and pointed at the pendant on his chest.
"Not going."
Xia Yue tilted her head slightly, then wrapped her fingers around her long, messy hair and said angrily.
"What a pity. I also plan to book a very luxurious hotel with unlimited supply of all kinds of high-end desserts."
Xia Yue's ears twitched, seeming to be very interested in this.
Of course, Li Muhan knew that Xia Yue was a foodie. It could be seen from the first time he brought her home from the park and saw her gobbling up the fried dough sticks.
The kid hasn't had anything good to eat.
Then I often buy her some desserts, chocolates and the like, and she really likes them.
What kind of vampire would like desserts so much?
"Since you don't want to go, then I can only go and eat by myself. It's a pity that the place can't take away food. It's a pity, alas."
"You...you have said this. It seems that I can't go if I don't go. After all, I am your guardian, alas."
"It doesn't matter. You don't need to go. It won't be more than 24 hours anyway. I'll be back in the evening."
"Shut up, I'm going when I say I'm going."
There was almost no hesitation, but you couldn't tell how happy the tone was, but Xia Yue was such a girl, a girl with problems who lacked common sense and was a bit weird.
