On the rooftop of the Spirit Management Association building, He Li finished a duck leg, wiped his mouth, and opened another bag of potato chips, munching on them as he watched Xiao Yue standing at the edge of the rooftop.
"Did you find him?"
Xiao Yue opened his eyes, turned around, shook his head, and said, "My spiritual power can cover the entire Binjiang City, but I can't accurately locate demons who aren't using their demonic power, unless... you ask He Jun to help you."
He Li looked speechlessly at Xiao Yue and complained, "If I could find him, would I need you?"
Xiao Yue spread his hands and said, "Then there's nothing I can do. Actually, if you ask He Jun for help, he won't refuse you."
He Li was silent for a moment, "I don't dare."
Xiao Yue rolled his eyes at He Li, "Heh heh..."
He Li stopped talking, put the chips aside, and sat there staring blankly, not looking at Xiao Yue.
"Are you angry?"
Xiao Yue blinked, then sighed helplessly and said, "You don't dare to find He Jun, so you make me the vanguard. You're truly shameless. What's most detestable is that you, a burly man over 1.8 meters tall, are acting cute. It's disgusting."
He Li glanced at Xiao Yue, still not speaking.
Xiao Yue pursed his lips, put a hand to his forehead, and said, "This is truly a sin..."
"He Jun! Your little darling is acting cute, come and manage him!"
As soon as Xiao Yue finished speaking, a tall man appeared beside him.
He Jun didn't even look at Xiao Yue, but instead looked at He Li's expectant eyes. He slightly turned his body, pointed directly to the southeast, and then disappeared.
He Li and Xiao Yue looked to the southeast together.
Xiao Yue narrowed his eyes and concentrated his spiritual power, which was spread across the entire Binjiang City, onto the line pointing southeast. After a moment, he said, "43 kilometers, shantytown, number 133, rental housing."
He Li grinned and picked up his chips again, crunching on them.
"Xiao Yue, you're rational, tell me what I should do."
Xiao Yue sat on the edge of the building, crossed his legs, pushed up his glasses, and smiled, "You've already decided, haven't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me... asked He Jun to find the demon's hiding place."
He Li hesitated for a moment, "I'm fulfilling the duty of a demon hunter. After all, I receive a salary from the Spirit Management Association.
I mean,
What should I do?
I'm referring to those male protagonists."
Xiao Yue said, "Didn't you already decide to act on your weak and insignificant sense of justice?"
He Li stopped eating chips,
Lit a cigarette,
Looked up at Xiao Yue, and said:
"Weak and insignificant sense of justice?"
Xiao Yue said matter-of-factly, "Isn't it only after you gained Superman-like strength that you developed a sense of justice? Just like Jin Fang said, your heart is very cold, and your world only contains yourself."
He Li nodded generously, "That's right, I agree with that.
Before, I was just a low-level person working in a bookstore, earning a little over 3,000 yuan a month. I could barely afford to eat, so how could I have the mind to care about those things?
But,
Now,
I'm different. I no longer have to worry about basic necessities, so naturally, I have to consider more things.
Poverty breeds cunning, wealth fosters conscience.
It's quite fitting to describe me with this saying."
"So?" Xiao Yue flashed in front of He Li and squatted down, looking at him.
"So... so?" He Li looked at Xiao Yue, equally confused.
Xiao Yue sneered, "So, you think that now that you have money and are well-fed, you can meddle in other people's business and become an embodiment of justice, punishing those people with your own methods."
"He Li, you are a member of the Spirit Management Association, a demon hunter. You are the righteous enforcers of the demon world, and they are ordinary people. They naturally have the police and laws to deal with them. Don't think that just because you have special abilities, you can disregard and trample on the law."
"If you casually deal with those people, not only will you get into trouble, but your teammates will also be implicated."
He Li frowned slightly, "Isn't that a bit too serious?"
Xiao Yue stood up, indifferent, "I'm just giving you a suggestion. You don't have to follow my advice."
He Li got up from the stool and muttered curses.
"Xiao Yue, I find you to be a cold-blooded bastard. You always make me make the choice that's most beneficial to me. Although I don't like it, I know you're right."
Xiao Yue retorted carelessly, "He Li, my little darling, you're not cold-blooded, but you are indifferent. You know, cold-blooded and indifferent aren't the same in meaning."
He Li went to the 34th floor. The large sofa in the lounge area had been changed from reddish-brown to dark gray, and the long table had been changed from glass to solid wood.
However, the firearms and equipment that He Li hadn't put back in the armory were all placed on the solid wood long table.
Susan and Tao Xue were sitting at the bar drinking, while Bai Fei, as usual, silently wiped glasses and delivered drinks to Susan one by one.
Min Liang was pretending to sleep on the long sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Sister Jiang, holding a steaming cup of coffee, leaned against the doorway of the monitoring room. It was unclear if she would be able to sleep at night drinking coffee in the evening.
Under everyone's gaze,
He Li walked directly to the long table, sat on the sofa, put on his communication earpiece, picked up the shotgun, skillfully unloaded the bullets, checked the barrel, and then reloaded seven rounds.
Then,
He held the shotgun, hesitated for a moment, and put it down.
He Li stood up and looked at Susan, who was drinking, pursed his lips, and said, "Captain, I'm going on a mission."
Susan glanced at He Li, then at the shotgun on the table, "Take the gun with you."
He Li paused. He didn't know if he needed a gun to deal with that kind of demon, but following Susan's order, he slung the shotgun over his shoulder and fastened the bullet chain with 20 shells.
"It's getting dark, go and come back early."
"I know, Captain."
He Li glanced at Bai Fei. Seeing that he had no intention of going with him, he turned and left alone.
Bai Fei mixed a strong drink and placed it in front of Susan. Susan drank it in one gulp, the spicy stimulation and strong alcohol causing her face to contort slightly.
Hoo...
After Susan let out a long sigh, she turned to Jiang Zhen and instructed, "Sister Jiang, please connect me to the police station, the city hall, the security department, and the logistics department. I have something to tell them."
"Okay."
......
"43 kilometers. It takes an hour and a half to drive in the city. My evaluation is... it's worse than the subway."
Xiao Yue sat in the passenger seat, looking at the congested traffic and commenting with a tut.
He Li smiled and said, "In the eyes of some people, taking the subway is for convenience if you have a car, and it's because you're poor if you don't have a car. Moreover, I'm carrying a gun, so I can't take the subway."
"What do you plan to do when you find that demon?" Xiao Yue asked curiously.
"Destroy it, of course!" He Li said decisively.
......
