Xiao Yue: "She wasn't lying."
Jin Fang: "She doesn't understand Qi Cultivators."
The two guardians voiced their opinions simultaneously, leaving He Li feeling a headache.
What in the world was going on?
Seeing He Li fall silent, Susan continued, "Your ability to actively use spiritual power and special abilities indicates you are not a Qi Cultivator. I am officially withdrawing my surveillance and inviting you to join the 'Spiritual Martial Abilities Management Bureau, Binjiang Branch'."
"Join."
"Don't join."
The voices of two little devils echoed in He Li's ears. He looked up and said to Susan, "Can I consider it?"
"Of course, that's your freedom." Susan then walked to the office window, leaving He Li with time to think.
Susan should have left the office to give He Li some private space, but she didn't. Her presence was intended to subtly influence He Li's thoughts and decisions.
Unfortunately, He Li wasn't thinking; he was listening to Xiao Yue and Jin Fang argue.
Xiao Yue said, "If He Li joins them, he will receive training in using spiritual power and abilities, and he will also interact with people from the outside world and make friends."
Jin Fang scoffed dismissively, "Forget it. They just see He Li's high talent and strong combat power and want him to be their grunt, to do their bidding. To put it bluntly, they want him to die for them! What good are friends when you're dead? To see you off?"
"Alas... joining might mean fighting to the death. Not joining means continuing to be monitored, and He Li can't resist. What should he do..." Li Qin suddenly appeared, standing by the sofa, sighing mournfully.
At this moment, a rough, violent voice sounded behind He Li: "Kill them all, and the problem will be solved."
He Li said helplessly, "Chen Sui, you're here too?"
"With something this big happening, how could I not be here?" Chen Sui, over two meters tall and with bulging muscles, flashed from behind He Li to Susan's side, placing a battle saber on her shoulder and saying coldly, "We'll kill her first, then go kill that woman at the bookstore. No matter who comes, we'll kill them all. If the problem-makers are gone, there's no problem."
Chen Sui's attitude was similar to Jin Fang's, but their difference was clear. Jin Fang's killing was illogical and directly brutal, while Chen Sui's was: whoever provokes me, I kill. If everyone provokes me, I'll kill you all. It was a kind of madness.
It wasn't baseless, just loud rage, but a complete, extreme, simple madness.
Li Qin, sighing and indecisive, was the neutral party.
Chen Sui, who was keen on solving the root of problems, and Jin Fang, who was cold-blooded and cruel, were the opposition.
Xiao Yue, who rationally analyzed the pros and cons, was the pro-joining faction.
The four of them engaged in a heated discussion.
"There are benefits to joining. Moreover, He Li has already shown extremely high talent. If he doesn't strive for progress, he will not only live under surveillance in the future but may also face unpredictable consequences."
"Xiao Yue, don't be alarmist. With us here, who can harm He Li? Without their interference, He Li will live more freely!"
"I agree with Jin Fang. Why should He Li be bound by a bunch of mediocrities? Isn't it better to be free and unrestrained? If anyone dares to harm He Li, you don't need to act; I will kill them all myself!"
"Alas... it's difficult. Neither advancing nor retreating, caught in this dilemma. He Li, listen to Uncle Li's advice, just die. If you're dead, there won't be so many troubles."
"Li Qin, why don't you die! Get lost, or I'll kill you first!"
"Chen Sui, stop bragging. Before you make a move, my gravity will crush you. Listen to Uncle's advice and leave quickly. This kind of high-level discussion is not suitable for a butcher like you."
"Li Qin is right. Chen Sui, Jin Fang, you two are too violent. You'll affect He Li. Hurry up and leave."
"Heh... it's you, the frigid one, who will affect He Li. Xiao Yue, the reason He Li is still a virgin is because of your influence!"
At this moment, a sudden voice rang out, very gentle and a bit flippant, "Speaking of being a virgin, I think it's time for me to appear. In my opinion, that woman named Susan is quite good. Slim waist, large breasts, a big butt..."
Xiao Yue: "Get lost!"
Chen Sui: "Get lost!"
Jin Fang: "Get lost!"
Li Qin: "Get lost!"
"Alright."
The voice abruptly stopped and disappeared.
Then,
Another voice sounded,
"Alright."
With a warm, mellow voice and an undeniable aura, He Li looked up at the man sitting on the opposite sofa. He was around 30 years old, with a tall and straight posture, and his eyes were sharp and steady. His sitting posture exuded a kind of sharp, domineering aura.
He Li said with a wry smile, "He Jun, you've come too."
He Jun smiled slightly and said, "If I didn't come, wouldn't they have driven you mad?"
Strangely, the moment He Jun appeared, the four of them fell silent, all looking at He Jun.
He Jun looked deeply at each of them, his gaze finally landing on He Li's face. He said in a gentle voice, "Don't be angry with them. They don't want to make decisions for you; they just have different opinions. Just like before, do as you please."
"If you don't join their organization, we can protect you well, and we can live a peaceful life."
"If you join their organization, we will also help you handle anything, whether it's demons or bad guys."
Everyone, including He Li, remained silent.
He Li continued, "You should listen to all opinions and suggestions, but don't be swayed. What they say is all correct, but what do you think in your heart?"
"Do whatever you think is right. Whatever the consequences, we are here for you."
After speaking, He Jun looked at the four again.
Xiao Yue, Li Qin, Jin Fang, and Chen Sui exchanged glances, then disappeared from the office.
Finally, He Jun smiled at He Li and also disappeared.
He Li let out a long sigh and looked at Susan again.
Susan was also looking at He Li with a strange expression. He Li had been looking around, as if making eye contact with someone, his entire state suggesting he was consulting and discussing with someone, and not just one person.
"Captain Susan, you can withdraw your surveillance. I'll join you."
Susan snapped back to attention, her face beaming with joy as she sat in front of He Li and said excitedly, "We warmly welcome you to join. Our Binjiang Branch is a people-oriented, humanized..."
...
After arranging to meet Susan at the Spiritual Management Association building the next day, He Li left the mental hospital. He checked the time.
It was 3:24 PM.
It was too early to go home, so he decided to go back to work at the bookstore.
After taking a series of public transport,
He Li stood at the entrance of the bookstore. Looking inside through the glass, he saw that the entire bookstore had been emptied.
His new job hadn't even started, and he had already lost this one?
What about his salary for this month?
