Jiang Yue's sudden question made Luo Chu feel nervous for no reason, while Old Dong looked confused.
"Impossible! The corpse puppets have all received orders, and it is impossible for them to stay without permission. If you don't believe me, try blowing the bamboo whistle." Old Dong pricked up his ears to listen, but he didn't hear any footsteps.
Luo Chu also didn't hear anything unusual.
Jiang Yue frowned: "There are footsteps going up the stairs, they seem to be human beings."
Suddenly, Jiang Yue remembered something. He took out his phone and looked at the time. It was already past ten-thirty, almost eleven o'clock.
At this time, it couldn't be that kid from Star City No. 1 Middle School coming home, right?
Why did you come back so late?
What's even worse is that when he comes back now, his mother is no longer here. The door lock of his house was also broken. The anomaly can be clearly seen.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, it is the most rebellious and easy time to get into trouble.
If you tell him the truth directly, it is impossible for a child of this age to be stable, and he is afraid that he will collapse on the spot, and may even ruin the overall situation.
If her mother's soul had not been destroyed and attached to the corpse puppet, she could barely cover it up.
But now, his mother is just an empty corpse, and a normal person can see the problem at a glance. It is impossible for a middle school student not to see the problem.
"Luo Chu, you go down and stabilize him first, then let him go upstairs later."
"Old Dong, you are on guard above the 20th floor. Don't let any zombies descend below the 20th floor. Especially don't appear on the 18th floor."
Although Luo Chu didn't know what Jiang Yue was planning, he had no choice but to listen to Jiang Yue's arrangements.
The Zimu Ghost Banner stayed on the 30th floor. Although the ghosts returned to their physical bodies, they did not dare to stray too far from the Zimu Ghost Banner.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, you will not leave easily.
Jiang Yue went to the 29th floor first and found the body of the female owner of 1814. I found her mobile phone in her pocket. She probably hadn't used it yet, but it still had more than thirty batteries left.
This corpse puppet made a roaring sound from its mouth, its movements were stiff and numb, its eyes were hollow, and it had no luster of life at all.
After Jiang Yue unlocked his phone, he sighed secretly and turned around and went downstairs.
Then he went to room 1814 and tidied up the room a little.
After doing this, Jiang Yue sighed.
Since acquiring the copying skill, he has yet to copy a woman. This is forcing him to dress up as a woman!
Jiang Yue didn't want to do this, but the ghost's reluctant eyes before it died always appeared in his mind, and he looked at the thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy in the photo...
In a daze, Jiang Yue thought of himself several years ago.
He took out the female owner's mobile phone and didn't browse too much. Open WeChat, and the top chat person is her precious son.
Although this child grew up in a single-parent family, he is still sunny. There are not many chat records between mother and son, but they are all about sharing the fun of life.
The boy's name is Xiao Zijian, thirteen years old.
It wasn't until the boy's footsteps came from the corridor that Jiang Yue suddenly realized that he activated the copying skill. When he appeared in front of the mirror again, he had become a capable middle-aged woman.
Footsteps came to the door, accompanied by a "Mom".
"Mom, Mom? What happened in our apartment? Why is there a power outage? Is there someone stopping me from going upstairs?"
Jiang Yue's scalp was numb and he felt extremely embarrassed.
He never imagined that he would be someone else's mother in this life...
He said bravely: "Zijian, why are you back so late?"
"I did an impromptu test at night and was delayed for a while. It was an hour later than usual. I originally wanted to come back tomorrow morning, but I couldn't get through your call. I was worried that something had happened."
A boy of this age has just entered the puberty stage of voice-changing, and his voice sounds a bit gravelly, but his concern for his mother is not pretentious.
I have to say, this kid's intuition is really strong.
But Jiang Yue naturally couldn't tell him the truth, and said with a wry smile: "Mom, an old woman, what can happen? It's late, hurry up and go to bed. I will be on a business trip early tomorrow morning, and it may take a long time. During this time , just stay well at school."
This is also the only solution Jiang Yue can come up with now.
Just be steady first.
Even if you want to tell him the cruel truth, you have to wait at least this week until you find a suitable opportunity to tell him.
"Business trip? How long will it take?"
"I can't say for sure, if it's fast, it'll be a few months, if it's slow, it's not necessarily three to five months. By the way, has your No. 1 Middle School organized a physical test recently?"
The boy immediately geared up: "Mom, I was just about to tell you that we will take the physical test on Sunday. I have a strong feeling this time that I will succeed!"
"Yeah, you can definitely do it!"
"Mom? Don't you believe it? My premonition this time is really strong, and I seem to feel that my body function has become stronger. Mom, I said that one day, I will become the number one genius in Star City. Mom, you know ? Now the first genius in Star City is in our No. 1 middle school. He is a senior from the sixth form who came back from the capital. His name is Wu Dingchao. I saw him on the playground today. He is really handsome and beautiful. He looks good everywhere he goes. It’s the focus.”
Jiang Yue looked at the beaming young man and couldn't bear to interrupt.
The young man said: "Mom, our No. 1 Middle School has been on fire these past few years. The whole Star City says that Yangfan Middle School is the best middle school in Star City now. Our No. 1 Middle School is the oldest middle school, but it is looked down upon by others. Are you angry? Aren't you irritating? This time, Senior Wu Dingchao has spoken, and he must take away the limelight of Yangfan Middle School. Jiang Yue, Li Yue, Senior Dingchao will definitely crush them one by one! In the exchange competition, he will beat them to pieces. To regain the prestige of being number one in our No. 1 Star City.”
All right……
Jiang Yue couldn't help but want to touch his nose, that's all for being a mother.
It’s really dumbfounding to be a mother.
However, this young man has not even reached the second grade yet, and only made the first grade. He is at the age when young people are passionate and easy to get into trouble. It is not surprising that he behaves like this.
If young people don't even have a sense of honor or passion, then they are really useless.
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "It would be best if one day in the future, you trample that senior Wu Dingchao under your feet. That would be wonderful."
"Mom, this is your son's ideal. Just look at it, this day won't be too far away!" The young man chuckled and stretched lazily, "Mom, don't tell me La, I’ll take a shower and go to bed first.”
Children at this age are heartless after all.
After an impassioned speech, he forgot about the questions he had when he entered the door. He washed his hands in a hurry, opened the camp bed, said hello to Jiang Yue, and fell asleep.
Jiang Yue, on the other hand, looked dumbfounded.
It wasn't until the boy was deeply asleep that Jiang Yue entered the room, randomly picked up some clothes, put them into a suitcase, and left the room gently.
Since you have to disguise, just pretend to be decent, and hide it for a while if you can.
If this kid can really awaken during the physical test, it will definitely be better if we find another opportunity to tell him the truth.
This is the only goodwill Jiang Yue can do at the moment.
The suitcase was sent upstairs for Lao Dong to put it away.
Jiang Yue specifically told Lao Dong not to disturb the young man 1814.
Once Master Liu died, the signal shielding in this apartment was naturally lifted, and the mobile phone could be used.
Power is also fully restored.
Everything is close to returning to normal.
"Sir, when will your friend come?" Old Dong was still a little worried.
"Already here."
Jiang Yue waved, and Yu Yuan emerged from the corner. He received Jiang Yue's call and came here as soon as possible, but he didn't get Jiang Yue's permission, so he kept hiding.
After handing over, Jiang Yue left with peace of mind.
Luo Chu had already gone downstairs and was smoking a cigarette in the car. Thinking back on the experience of this night, I have many thoughts.
The more strange events he experienced, the more he felt powerless and powerless. Jiang Yue's rapid growth also surprised Luo Chu.
Although he has a high position in the Operations Bureau, when faced with these strange events, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to cope with the increasingly complex situation with his original tools.
If this continues, if the capabilities of the Operations Bureau are not worthy of the position, I'm afraid it will slowly become useless.
The Operations Bureau must speed up the absorption of new blood and must quickly change its thinking. If it continues to use the same old methods, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Operations Bureau cannot keep up with the situation at all.
Jiang Yue opened the car door and saw Luo Chu smoking a cigarette and looking worried, so he made a joke.
"Isn't Luo Chu scared?"
Luo Chu shook his head bitterly and suddenly stared at Jiang Yue seriously and asked: "Xiao Jiang, please tell the truth. Those ghosts attacked me before. Why was it that I was unscathed but those ghosts were injured? What's going on? I know it must be You moved your hands and feet."
At that time, Luo Chu actually asked Jiang Yue what was going on, but Jiang Yue did not answer directly.
At this time, the crisis was completely resolved. Luo Chu thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. As the director of the Operations Division, he sounds pitiful. Although he has some self-defense methods, they are actually the same old things. It is impossible to say how useful they will be, and they are completely unable to keep up with the new situation.
But when the ghost jumped on him, it seemed like it was severely burned by the high temperature. That scene left Luo Chu with great shock.
If someone else from Luo doesn't have this ability, then it must be Jiang Yue's work.
After all, in Panshiling, Luo Chu had witnessed with his own eyes how terrifying the Lao Jiang family's inheritance magic circle was. Jiang Yue must have inherited some special ability.
Jiang Yue could tell that if he didn't say something today, Luo Chu would probably have a hard time.
Immediately, he closed the car door, sat on the passenger seat, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and sat in an extremely comfortable position.
"Luo Chu, there is something I have always wanted to say. Your action bureau has been established, but after all this time, you are still playing the same old tunes. It will definitely not work if it goes on like this."
Luo Chu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not like you don't know about official matters. Matters in the general direction must be reported and approved at all levels. Those who can make our own decisions, we generally make our own decisions. We still have to listen to the superiors for big decisions. Yes. But if you look back now, it actually didn’t take more than a month for the strange era to arrive. Who would have thought that such a big change would happen in just one month?"
"In normal times, one month is indeed a short time, but in the weird era, one day might be a new change."
Jiang Yue didn't mean to provoke Luo Chu. Of course he could understand the difficulties of the action bureau.
A country or a large department, no matter how quickly you act, still needs a process. This is different from individual action.
A person travels lightly and can turn around at any time.
Any decision made by a country or a department will definitely require argumentation and a process. It cannot be as rash as an individual because the room for error is completely different.
Luo Chu sighed: "Xiao Jiang, what did you do to me before?"
Luo Chu probably wanted to get to the bottom of this question.
"Actually, it's an evil-proofing blessing that can last for 24 hours. Normal evil spirits cannot attack. Of course, I can't say what its defense limit is."
"Only 24 hours?" Luo Chu was a little disappointed, and then laughed at himself, "Should I take advantage of the time and solve two more strange incidents?"
"How many weird events can you solve if you just keep working non-stop 24 hours a day?"
"Oh, so we need outstanding talents like you to join us."
"Forget it, if I don't join you, we can still cooperate happily. If I really want to become one of you, I must adhere to principles and disciplines in everything. If someone like Commander Yan comes again, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. It's offensive to Shangguan. I won't jump into this kind of trap."
Jiang Yue's attitude was as firm as ever, and Luo Chu was naturally helpless.
"Xiao Jiang, why would a warlock like Master Liu prefer to collude with evil forces, do all kinds of bad things, and harm the world, but refuse to surrender to the country and serve the country?"
Luo Chu was very distressed. During this period, he had witnessed several such cases.
The warlock from the kindergarten before, including this Master Liu, and the group of people who threatened Yu Yuan in the abandoned building were all without exception.
Wouldn’t it be great for him to serve the country with his abilities?
Jiang Yue was very tolerant: "Luo Chu, you also have to look on the bright side. Aren't there people like me, Sangou, and many other awakened people who are also on your side?"
"Indeed, if there is white in this world, there must be black. We really cannot expect everyone to behave themselves, pay attention to the feelings of family and country, pay attention to national justice and so on."
"There is another question that you have considered? What kind of status will these capable people get if they really join the government? Can they exchange for glory and wealth? Can they be respected? Will they be subject to all kinds of jealousy? Frankly speaking , these warlocks are people of the world, and most of them have unruly temperaments. They may not want to join the officialdom, but they have doubts and worry that their value will not be reflected, and they may even be constrained everywhere. To put it bluntly, it is a channel for advancement, and their status is glorious. The problem."
"Let's talk about Master Liu, this awesome guy! If he really wants to join your Operations Bureau, maybe a deputy director of your Operations Bureau can transfer him at will, or even give him a look. But if he doesn't join you, you will have to spend a lot of money. Pay him a big price, say nice things to him, and use all kinds of flattery..."
This is not Jiang Yue's spiel. Jiang Yue and Luo Chu witnessed how the Operation Bureau tried to please Master Liu, whether it was flattery or low-profile.
If you keep a distance and maintain a sense of mystery, you will be respected and praised everywhere.
Joining you is no longer fun. Instead, you have to look at your face, listen to sarcastic remarks, and the high remuneration is even more frivolous.
No one is a fool, this choice is not difficult to make.
