Ren Jie was pulled by Ye Yue and kept walking, and in a blink of an eye he was out of the residential area.
"Hey, hey, hey~ Where are you taking me? You're not going to drag me directly to the Demon Suppression Department to suppress me, right?"
Yeyue rolled her eyes:
(꒪ͦ～꒪ͦ〃) "How is it possible? Come with me and I will take you to a good place. Most people want to go but haven't had the chance~"
Ren Jie could only let Ye Yue pull him away, while Ye Yue remembered Shen Ci's explanation.
We tried every means to draw Ren Jie into the Demon Suppression Division, but we could not force him by any means, let alone violate his personal wishes. He had to want to join.
Otherwise it will only push him further and further away.
Although Ren Jie's previous performance was extremely outstanding, Shen Ci would not put so much effort into recruiting him to join the team.
What's more, Ren Jie is still very immature. He is just a newbie and cannot form an effective combat force. Yeyue doesn't know the reason why Shen Ci does this.
But she can be sure that there must be something special about Ren Jie.
If the boss's task cannot be completed, the third team's budget for the next quarter will be small, so as a lobbyist, Yeyue is serious.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yue brought Ren Jie to a matchstick.
This place is heavily guarded by the Daxia Defense Force. As a military restricted area, it is impossible for ordinary people to approach it, let alone visit it.
But Yeyue showed her ID and the journey was smooth.
Ren Jie was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect Yeyue to bring him here.
I had only seen the hundreds of matchsticks standing in Jincheng from a distance. Only when I visited them up close did I feel how huge the tower was. It was so eye-catching.
Yeyue did not stop, but took Ren Jie into the tower, took the elevator to the red ball at the top of the matchstick.
The moment Ren Jie stepped forward, the soft night wind blew his hair wildly, and the night of Jincheng was completely displayed in front of him.
The neon lights spread across the earth like fireworks, extending outward. The further outward, the dimmer the lights become...
The entire Jincheng is like a candlelight lighting up in the dark night. Although it is weak, it also dispels the darkness.
I saw Ye Yue turning around in a circle with her hands behind her back, leaning on the railing, her black hair flying in the wind, and a gentle smile on her face~
For a moment, Ren Jie was stunned.
Yeyue smiled and blinked:
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
Ren Jie raised his eyebrows: "You? Or this Jincheng night scene?"
Yeyue blushed and glared at Ren Jie angrily:
"View! I'm asking you about the view from the top of the tower! You're too young to learn well, and you're glib, huh~"
Ren Jie smiled, leaning on the railing with his elbows, looking down at Jincheng, his eyes reflecting the dreamlike prosperity.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Yeyue sat on the railing nearby and raised her head:
"Hmm~ Why...who knows? Wouldn't it be a pity for me to enjoy such a beautiful scenery by myself?"
"Do you know why the thirty-three main cities in Daxia are called Spark Cities?"
Ren Jie raised his eyebrows: (๑◔～◔ิ) "Why?"
Yeyue pointed to the brightly lit Jincheng with her finger:
"Look...does this look like the spark that ignited?"
"After the cataclysm, human civilization was almost destroyed. But later, genetic warriors appeared. We licked our wounds and stood up again, fighting against the demon clan, fighting against the spirit clan, and fighting bloody battles with the demons!"
"On the ruins of the land, we rebuilt the city and ignited sparks. To this day, it is still not safe outside the city, but one day, these sparks will be enough to start a prairie fire!"
"And that's...that's what we're doing, isn't that cool?"
After saying that, Yeyue looked at Ren Jie with burning eyes. At this moment, there was light in her eyes.
Ren Jie smiled: "Cool? Why isn't it cool?"
Yeyue strikes while the iron is hot:
"Hey~ I said... join the Demon Suppressing Division. You are a demon binder. If you join the Demon Suppressing Division, you will have better development."
"The world is indeed prejudiced against people with magic bonds, but the demon-suppressing officers are not as bad as you think. In fact, some of the magic-suppressing officers are from magic bonds."
"The treatment in our Demon Suppression Division is pretty good, with high salary, good benefits, and all the five insurances and one housing fund you want. As for the risk factor, you don't have to worry. You are still very weak, and the Division won't let you Go to the front line to perform tasks."
"I will even apply for admission to the Demon Hunting Academy for you and provide you with systematic training and education. How about it? Are you excited? You..."
But before Ye Yue could finish speaking, Ren Jie said firmly:
(｡･ˇ ◠ ˇ･｡) “No!”
Yeyue's eyes twitched:
"Why? Didn't you even think about it?"
I've been talking for a long time, was it all in vain?
Ren Jie tilted his head and looked at Yeyue:
"To be honest, I admire you very much. You are protecting the country and the entire human race. You are sacrificing your life and blood for this, even at the cost of your own life!"
"But I am different. What I protect is my home. That small home is my whole world..."
"I'm afraid of death. I think it's stupid to sacrifice yourself for someone you don't know. It's so stupid that it's respectable, and it's so stupid that it's admirable!"
"But I'm not born that way. I still don't understand why you risked your life to block the attack for me when we met for the first time. But if it were me, I couldn't... There are people waiting for me to come home, and I don’t want to die…”
Yeyue said unwillingly: "Isn't it the same if you join Si Yao Hall? Just yesterday, you risked your life and rescued a child!"
"You can join the Si Yao Hall, why can't you join the Demon Suppression Division?"
Ren Jie shook his head: "It's different. I joined Si Yao Hall for money. I also saved the child for money, but I was unlucky enough to get hit..."
"Once you die once, you will know more clearly how much you care about the people who are important to you."
"Actually... I kind of hate the Demon Suppressor. You should know my information. My parents and younger brother both died in the Jincheng Demon Disaster. Do you know that? They did not die from a direct attack by the demon..."
"He died from the attack of the Demon Suppressor. His attack was deflected by the demon and stuck to the ground. The aftermath destroyed the house..."
Yeyue's eyes dimmed: "But...but..."
Ren Jie raised his head and looked at the starry sky: "I know, it's not the Demon Suppressor's fault, but... there will always be obstacles in your heart, right?"
"Everyone has something they want to protect. It has nothing to do with strength. What you protect is the country, and what I protect is the home..."
"Yeyue...we are not the same person. Maybe I am selfish, but I have a clear conscience."
Yeyue took a deep breath:
"Can I take the liberty to ask, are you working so hard to make money just to treat your sister's illness?"
Ren Jie was startled, but did not hide anything: "Yes... painkillers are very expensive, inhibitors are very expensive, and ion dialysis is even more expensive..."
"If it weren't for me, Yaoyao and her family would have lived a very happy life, and Yaoyao might not have to suffer from this disease..."
Yeyue looked at Ren Jie seriously:
"If you want to cure your sister, you must become stronger. Joining the Demon Suppression Division is the fastest way for you to become stronger."
"Indeed! Human beings are still unable to conquer the Demonic Mark Disease, but the answer must lie in the Demonic Realm of Dangtian!"
"If the country does not exist, where will the family be? Ren Jie, join the Demon Suppression Division, you will not regret it."
Ren Jie still shook his head, his eyes firm: "If there really is an antidote for magic mark disease in this world, then I will find it."
"I can still become stronger even if I don't join the Demon Suppression Division."
Yeyue was a little frustrated. A person's thoughts cannot be changed in a short time.
In this case, the only solution is to use a trick.
"What if the Demon-Suppressing Division can provide you with medicine to treat the magic mark disease?"
Ren Jie was startled, and he began to hesitate...
