The heavy door was slowly pushed open. A middle-aged man stood guard at the door, and another took Gu Yuan inside.
There seems to be an independent office inside the invisible door, which may be a little inaccurate. Although there is a linked desk about three meters long directly opposite the door, there are also some fitness equipment placed on the left side of the office. , barbell dumbbell treadmill...
On the right is an area separated, and through the hollow screen you can see an antique tea room inside.
Behind the desk, there is a glass bookshelf, divided into two. On the left are neatly arranged books, and on the right are some exquisite gadgets, such as some porcelain and ironware.
A man wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up was lying comfortably on a chair, holding a cigar with a label in his hand and puffing away smoke.
However, there is no unpleasant smell in this room. Instead, there is a scent similar to sandalwood.
"You go out first." The man in the white shirt smiled and waved.
The middle-aged man who brought Gu Yuan in nodded slightly, turned around and pushed out, closing the door behind him.
Gu Yuan looked at the other party.
He is wearing a white shirt with the top button undone. He wears a large dial steel watch on his wrist. He is very hairy and looks very tough. He has a classic villain slicked back hair and a beard on his broad face. Stubble, including thick eyebrows and big eyes, may be the "handsome uncle" type that little girls prefer nowadays.
"Here you are? Sit down." The other party showed a very familiar look when he came up. He also took out a cigar from the cigar box at hand and threw it to Gu Yuan.
"I don't smoke." Gu Yuan wanted to refuse, but the other party had already thrown him over, so he subconsciously crossed his arms in front of his chest to catch it.
The man laughed and said: "This is a good thing. It is an authentic Pakistani product. One stick costs five hundred knives."
Gu Yuan thought for a while, put it in his pocket, pulled out the chair and sat down.
Seeing Gu Yuan's obedient appearance, the man took a puff of his cigar and felt a sudden comeback.
Gu Yuan was stunned on the spot.
"Although I have never smoked cigars, I know that cigars are not good for the lungs."
"That's someone else." The man said confidently, "All the money was spent, but it's not enough for lungs? Isn't it a waste of money?"
Fine.
I won't argue with you.
"Let me introduce myself first. You can call me Mr. Su." The man named Mr. Su said, "I have no ill intentions in inviting you here this time. I am just curious about you."
"Curious?" Gu Yuan felt that the other party's self-introduction was a bit strange. Why didn't he just say his name directly?
"Yes." Mr. Su said, "I know that the people from the Demon Suppression Department are targeting you because you walked out of the Demon Realm intact and also awakened in the Demon Realm."
Through these words, Gu Yuan could tell that the other party was not from the Demon Suppression Department.
He asked tentatively: "Are you...the Demon Slayer Department?"
Mr. Su smiled and shook his head.
He stood up, walked a few steps, and then continued: "I sincerely invite you to join Tiangong!"
"Heavenly Palace?" Gu Yuan was slightly startled.
This was the first time he heard of such an organization.
In the Kingdom of Daxia, there is the Demon Suppression Division to kill demons, and the Demon Suppression Department to eliminate demons.
What is Heavenly Palace?
"Not bad, Tiangong." Mr. Su sat back on the chair, holding a cigar in one hand and playing with a cigar cutter with the other, and said with a smile, "I know that the Demon Suppression Department is going to take you away, I'm sure I want to recruit you, but I advise you to think about it, those people in the Demon Suppression Division are just a bunch of lunatics."
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and did not interrupt, but now he had reason to suspect that the man in front of him might have ADHD.
His hands seemed restless.
"How much money does it cost to join the Demon Suppression Division a month? Moreover, you have to take huge risks, but Tiangong is different." Mr. Su said, "Join Tiangong, and you can get a good salary every month. It is ten times and twenty times that of the Demon Suppression Division, and there is a year-end bonus at the end of the year. In addition, you also have freedom. If it is a task that you think is too dangerous, you will have the right to refuse it."
Gu Yuan did not refuse immediately.
The main reason is that if I refuse, the other party will violently kill someone.
"What is the mission...?"
"It's the same as the Demon Suppression Division." Mr. Su said, "It's just that our service targets are rich people, and they are very generous."
Gu Yuan understood somewhat.
This heavenly palace also kills demons, but they only serve rich people to earn commissions.
"Think about it, compared with the treatment in Tiangong, what are those people in the Demon Suppression Division if they're not lunatics? Oh, and..."
As soon as Mr. Su said this, he was interrupted by the rapid ringing of the phone.
He looked at the phone on the table and frowned.
After a moment of silence, he picked it up.
"Hello."
Gu Yuan, who was sitting opposite Mr. Su, pricked up his ears to hear what was on the phone. At this moment, he noticed that his hearing seemed to have become much sharper.
I can actually hear the voice on the other end of the phone, and...
very clearly!
"Su Xiaotang, let Gu Yuan go." On the other end of the phone was a man's deep and deep voice, which was a bit majestic.
Gu Yuan: "???"
He suddenly understood why this "Mr. Su" didn't say his name when he introduced himself before.
Su Xiaotang...
How shameful!
"Li Siming?" Su Xiaotang recognized the other party's identity through his voice.
Gu Yuan was suddenly shocked!
It turned out to be Li Siming?
After knowing who was on the other end of the phone, Su Xiaotang remained calm and said with a smile: "Li Siming, I know you are great, but I am here now, and I am not robbing you of people. After all... ...For a transcendent who awakened in the demon realm, it is reasonable for Tiangong to extend an olive branch, right? Besides, I just gave him a chance to choose."
"Let him go." The voice continued, still so low, powerful, and concise, as if there was a fee for speaking.
Su Xiaotang's face suddenly turned cold, and she said with a sneer: "I believe he is a smart man and will make the right choice."
On the other end of the phone, Li Siming was suddenly silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he laughed.
"He is a priest, are you sure... you want to recruit him?"
Su Xiaotang's expression suddenly changed, his smile instantly disappeared, he raised his head and looked at Gu Yuan in front of him in disbelief.
"You awakened...are you a priest?"
Gu Yuan was stunned, silent for a moment, and nodded.
It seems like...that's it?
"Damn, bad luck!" Su Xiaotang slammed her fist on the table, her body fell back, and the phone cord was stretched, "Let your man wait where he is, and I'll send him back!"
The phone hangs up.
Su Xiaotang gasped, took another puff of cigar, and stared at Gu Yuan.
"Are you actually... a priest?"
Gu Yuan couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with the priest?"
Su Xiaotang shook her head.
"What a pity... Even if your awakened ability is to raise your head and blow bubbles, I will still think that you are a malleable talent... but you are a priest." He looked at Gu Yuan with a somewhat complicated look, ranging from ridicule to... mercy!
Gu Yuan frowned.
"It is true that priests play a very important role, but... to our Heavenly Palace, priests are not of much use. Moreover, do you know why the profession of priest has disappeared?"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
"Because becoming a priest means stepping into hell with one foot." A cold smile appeared on Su Xiaotang's face.
