Back home, at this point, the second uncle and second aunt were already sleeping, but when they heard the noise, they still came out of the bedroom with their clothes on.
"Why did you come back so late? You didn't come back all night yesterday, and it's so late today - is the work of the Demon Suppression Department so busy?" The second aunt yawned and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll get it for you. Order some wontons, they are freshly made during the day..."
Gu Yuan quickly stopped the second aunt and said that he had eaten before and was not hungry at all now, but just a little sleepy.
Hearing this, the second aunt yawned and nodded, and went back to the room at Gu Yuan's urging.
The second uncle was not in a hurry to go back and asked in a low voice: "How is the case?"
"It's all solved, it's a monster." Gu Yuan said.
"Well... go to bed early." The second uncle could feel Gu Yuan's fatigue at this time and did not continue to ask.
Just when Gu Yuan was about to enter the room, his second uncle suddenly coughed.
"If you can come back in the future, it doesn't matter how late you stay. When you come back, your second aunt will sleep more soundly."
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily with a smile on his face.
"remember."
"Well, go to sleep..."
…
Back in the room, Gu Xiaolei was still sleeping soundly.
Gu Yuan didn't even bother to take a shower, so he took off his clothes and lay on the bed, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
Gu Yuan, who had lowered all his defenses, was finally completely swallowed up by fatigue.
Whether it was the use of artifacts or the spiritual energy integrated with the demon soul, Gu Yuan had never suffered backlash. However, turning on the strong light this time and restricting the shadow demon caused too much consumption.
This kind of consumption is not physical fatigue, but comes from...
Spirit.
In a daze.
Gu Yuan heard the voices of his second uncle and second aunt.
"This kid hasn't gotten up yet. He seems really exhausted."
"Well... don't disturb him and let him have a good sleep."
Then, there was the sound of the door closing again.
In a state of confusion.
Gu Yuan heard his phone ring again for a long time, which gradually made him feel irritable.
The ringtone of the cell phone lasted for a long time, which was a very long state for Gu Yuan at this moment, and when the ringing stopped completely, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
But for some time, Gu Yuan seemed to hear the ringtone of his cell phone again. When he listened carefully, the ringtone disappeared again. It repeated several times, and he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
After a long, long time, he heard Gu Xiaolei's voice again.
"Mom, my brother hasn't woken up yet?"
"Who says it isn't?"
"Can't you be sick?" Gu Xiaolei asked worriedly.
"It's okay. The people from the Demon Suppression Department also said, just have a good rest."
"Um……"
…
Not knowing how long he slept, Gu Yuan finally slowly opened his eyes.
After a while of relief, there was an indescribable soreness all over my body.
He reached out and took out his phone from under the pillow. He originally just wanted to check the time, but after clicking it for a long time, the screen was still black.
When he first woke up, his brain reaction seemed a little slow. After trying a few times, he realized that his phone had automatically shut down because it was out of battery.
It took about two minutes for Gu Yuan to slowly recover. He rubbed his swollen head and the pain in his body had dissipated.
He tilted his neck and glanced at the alarm clock on Gu Xiaolei's desk.
"It's only nine o'clock in the morning..."
He plugged in his phone to charge, put on his slippers, brushed his teeth and washed his face.
There was no one at home. The second uncle and aunt went to work, Gu Xiaolei went to school, and Gu Chuxue also lived in the school during this period. He opened the refrigerator and took out the wontons wrapped by the second aunt.
While the wontons were cooking in the pot, he took an empty bowl, adjusted the soy sauce and vinegar, put in a small piece of lard, chopped some green onions, added chicken essence and salt, and poured a large spoonful of boiling water into the bowl. Watch the pork slowly melt, then put the cooked wontons into a bowl, and finally sprinkle with a little sesame oil.
Fragrant!
After eating and drinking, Gu Yuan returned to the room, turned on his mobile phone, and found that there were quite a lot of unanswered calls, from yesterday to today, there are at least a few... Wait!
yesterday? today?
Gu Yuan was confused for a moment, returned to the main interface, looked at the time, and took a breath.
I came back in the early morning of Monday, but now it's not Monday morning, it's Tuesday!
This is a day and two nights of sleep...
Gu Yuan was a little dumbfounded. No wonder there were so many missed calls, and the voices of his uncle, aunt, and Xiao Lei were no longer in dreams. They were worried because he had slept for too long.
Among the family members, a message was sent, telling the second uncle and second aunt that they had woken up and were now going to work at the Demon Suppression Department. It was no big deal, which reassured them.
Can this strong light psychic energy be used in the future? Although the effect is incredible, the consumption on oneself is too great.
I don't know if this situation will get better when my strength increases again and the Yuan Qi in my body becomes more abundant.
Driving the car, we came to the cafe.
When Zhou Zhen and the others saw Gu Yuan, they also joked a few times.
They called Gu Yuan before and were quite concerned, but when Gu Jianshan answered the phone and briefly informed Gu Yuan of his situation, they felt relieved.
Kong Baihe shouted "Jue Zhu" to Gu Yuan one after another. It was hard to imagine that Kong Baihe, who always left a "mature" impression on others, would never tire of such childish tricks.
Gu Yuan didn't think that this was a change in Kong Baihe's personality. He should have begun to release his nature and shed his original disguise.
"Let me tell you, you are suitable to be the captain." Luo Yin sat next to Gu Yuan and whispered, "Look at you, you have only been working for a few days, and you arrive late and leave early every day."
"That's what I said." Gu Yuan said angrily, "Why didn't you see me when I was working overtime to solve the case?"
"Capitalists never look at this." Luo Yin blinked and said confidently.
Gu Yuan: "..."
Based on what he said, people who don't know would think that Luo Yin has shares in the Demon Suppression Division.
With everyone gathered, the natural next step is to review the previous case.
Shadow demon.
Most of the time, Wei Xuanyi and Kong Baihe explained, while Zhou Zhen, Ge Fei and the others listened carefully.
As for Gu Yuan, he drank tea slowly and leisurely, feeling the tranquility at the moment.
If monsters didn't appear, the working atmosphere of the Monster Suppression Department would still be very good.
After Zhou Zhen finished organizing everything, he looked at Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan put down the tea cup and coughed lightly.
"Actually, until now, I haven't thought about a problem."
"Huh? You say."
"Whether it was Tu Qiang or Gao Dashan who was the first to die in the art gallery, why did the shadow demon kill them? And why did it imitate those oil paintings?"
Wei Xuanyi said: "It's a monster! We can't speculate with ordinary people's thinking. It may enjoy this kind of perverted killing, or it may be a paranoid pursuit."
Gu Yuan nodded: "Maybe."
Everyone is mentally ill, let alone a demon?
What's more, the shadow demon has been killed. Even if Gu Yuan is confused, there is no other way to find the answer.
