Chapter 7, Whispers in the Mist
Maintaining a speed of over ninety kilometers per hour on a narrow road without streetlights
Wang Peng glanced at Zheng Ting and said, "Boss, you can take a taxi back by yourself later. I will take Brother Xiao Song to have a look."
He said that if he were to die, at least he could become a local deity, and with good fortune, he might even become a mountain god
Song Xiao curled her lips, somewhat dismissive.
Song Xiao nodded, raised his glass in a gesture of thanks
Wang Peng said, rising to his feet and casually dropping the remark, "Take your time drinking, remember to settle the bill," before hurriedly leaving with Song Xiao
Song Xiao shook his head
The two individuals first took a taxi to the underground parking lot of a building
You can understand it as a sky-eye system in the city, except that our system is specifically designed to monitor energy fluctuations, with a broader coverage.
Song Xiao shook his head: "Thank you, I do not smoke"
He was discovered by Zheng Ting and is administratively affiliated with Section 2
Therefore, this is a job worth cherishing
Song Xiao nodded with a pale face
The thirty-kilometer journey was completed quickly. Wang Peng parked the car by the roadside and, together with Song Xiao, set off towards the mountains
Dai Pai Dong
It is not that extravagant
Level 1 generally refers to beings that have recently developed intelligence and possess relatively primitive means of attack
Hand Song Xiao a bottle: "If you don't smoke, you might as well drink, right"
Alright, he also quite enjoys eating barbecue
Sure, have you ever been to the mountains before
You will probably witness it soon; for now, I am afraid you might just slam the seal and token on the table and run away.
Because there is still a line of small text at the bottom
Zheng Ting also looked at Song Xiao with some surprise
Although Wang Peng cannot see or hear, he still possesses a sense of perception
Two people are gathering over here
Song Xiao : `` ... ... ''
The off-road vehicle weaved through the bustling streets, swiftly overtaking others, and soon exited the city onto a provincial road
Accompanying this, there were also whispers that only Song Xiao could hear
Wang Peng sighed and said, "I was very grateful to him at that time; if it weren't for him, we both would have died that time. Do you know what he said?"
Before the words had left his lips, Song Xiao noticed that the shadows around him were increasing, densely clustering into a mass
Daring to bring you along is also because the danger level this time is not high; if it were level two or above, I would not take you with me
The eerie green light illuminated.
At this moment, Wang Peng suddenly turned his head, his expression serious as he looked at Song Xiao: "No, you must drive back immediately..."
"What?" Song Xiao looked at him with some confusion.
Glancing at Song Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat fastening his seatbelt, a mischievous smile appeared on his face as he pressed down hard on the accelerator
Wang Peng was silent for a moment: "Level 3, it can already take form, but still retains some racial characteristics, possessing very strong offensive capabilities..."
Zheng Ting glanced at Song Xiao and hesitated, saying: "Daring to appear near the capital, there may be a conspiracy; otherwise, I also..."
As the central institution established by the Heavenly Court in the mortal realm, the director of the Beijing office is surnamed Huang and is often engaged in fieldwork.
He then provided Song Xiao with an overview of the classification of danger levels
Finally, under the illumination of the powerful flashlight, even the scene a few meters away became somewhat unclear
Song Xiao instantly grasped the handrail above her head, her face slightly pale
Wang Peng curled his lips, and just then, his expression suddenly changed slightly as he cursed, "Damn, something's come up!"
Addressing issues? The abilities you excel in... Oh, I understand!
Wang Peng wore an expression of indifference as he grabbed a few bottles of beer, and without any noticeable effort, the caps fell to the ground one after another
Song Xiao refused: "I really do not smoke"
Just as he was filled with doubt, a prompt from the token echoed in his mind—there is a new task!
As for Song Xiao, he sipped the white liquor sip by sip, and not a single drop of sweat appeared on his forehead
As Wang Peng approached an old off-road vehicle and was about to climb into the driver's seat, Song Xiao couldn't help but remind him: "Brother Wang, you have been drinking..."
emmmm......
Song Xiao followed behind and did not fall behind, which made Wang Peng look at him with new eyes
Wang Peng took out the token and read it, then looked at Song Xiao and said: "Don't you want to understand the work status of the field operations? The opportunity has arrived"
If it is only you, once you encounter this level of danger, do not try to be brave; escaping with your life is the priority
With a low shout, he directly unleashed his methods, covering an area of several dozen meters around him, pulling Song Xiao into the "dark room".
A trace of the demon clan has been discovered on a mountain located thirty kilometers north of the city. Level 1, please have the field personnel proceed swiftly to investigate.
Song Xiao glanced at him: "A pure Yang body!"
Wang Peng then took out a box of cigarettes and tossed it on the table, winking at Song Xiao: "How about this?"
As long as they do not pose a threat to humans, generally no action will be taken against them
Song Xiao also took the opportunity to gain a preliminary understanding of the situation regarding the Heavenly Court's office in Beijing
He said to Song Xiao: "Be careful when carrying out tasks in the future, this world is sealed, and the divine powers and techniques are heavily suppressed"
Zheng Tingfei quickly put the cigarette back and said seriously: "It is not good to smoke; this thing does nothing but harm the body and has no benefits at all"
Bring a few more heads of garlic
The two individuals feel somewhat envious
As the barbecue was served, the three of them chatted and drank.
Do less of the big sword, if you are brothers, let's do it together ...! ... After doing it, there is an even smaller character "串"!
The task has arrived, and it is certainly not possible to continue drinking alcohol
The evening breeze gently blows, carrying waves of heat, and even with chilled beer in hand, Lao Zheng and Wang Peng are still drenched in sweat
The issue is that just now at the hotel, Zheng Ting displayed an air of extravagance and confidence
He is truly a remarkable talent
Song Xiao stared at the poster at the entrance that read "188 / 288 / 398 package ... ... unlimited beer" and fell into deep thought
After death, one does not enter the cycle of reincarnation; at the very least, one becomes a heavenly soldier and can continue to cultivate.
Occasionally, I appear at gatherings related to the heavenly court, but I have always maintained a low profile
The young person is quite interesting
Saying to open the door and get in the car, then with a "bang," forcefully closing the door and starting the engine
Zheng Ting, sipping beer and enjoying a large kidney, expressed with a sense of emotion: "With a decent salary in hand and high-quality elixirs to accompany it, barring any unforeseen circumstances, one can live a long and healthy life without illness or disaster"
In comparison, our group has clearly received significantly more rewards
In addition, precise coordinates have also been provided
On one occasion, I was taken on a mission with another brother, and we encountered a monster that was at least level 3. Not only was its skin tough and its flesh thick, but its combat power was also quite terrifying
Zheng Ting took out a cigarette, hesitated for a moment, then took out another one and handed it to Song Xiao
Fortunately, there are not many vehicles on this road
Zheng Ting glanced at him and said, "What do you know, you single dog?"
In fact, it is not the monsters that are the most terrifying, but rather humans.
I have finally understood from another perspective why Mr. Su said that he was protected too well by his master
Level 1 is the lowest, and Level 9 is the highest
Initially, it was relatively thin, but as the two individuals delved deeper, the mist began to thicken increasingly
The broken car let out a beastly roar and suddenly lunged forward
Even immortals need to earn money and sustain their lives
I recently completed a task and, having no pressing matters at the moment, I am temporarily staying in the capital city.
Song Xiaoxin said, "Well, no one is willing to die, right?"
The divine dragon shows its head but not its tail, and even Zheng Ting finds it difficult to see it in person
He exclaimed, "There is no time left!"
Over the years, he has certainly helped many people solve various peculiar problems
Seemingly unwilling to continue the topic, Wang Peng eased off the accelerator, allowing the speed to decrease a little
There are a total of two major departments: internal affairs and external affairs
The ghostly immortals are not as easy to cultivate as the human immortals. Having come to the human realm with great difficulty, one must live well.
Song Xiao asked: "What is the highest level you have encountered?"
A grayish-blue corpse face, with pitch-black eye sockets, dressed entirely in tattered funeral garments, is coldly staring at the two individuals.
In the mundane world, amidst the smoke of human life, who would not yearn for the bonds of kinship, friendship, and love
First, a case of chilled beer, ten skewers of large kidneys, twenty raw oysters, twenty meat skewers, a combination of flower and hair, smashed cucumber
Wang Peng, who had been focused on driving, now relaxed a bit and glanced at Song Xiao, who was still carefully gripping the armrest
Song Xiao's feelings were even more direct and intense; amidst the thick fog, it seemed as if faint shadows were swaying all around.
Li Xuan is in charge of the Talent Section One, while Zheng Ting oversees Talent Section Two, and those office workers in the dilapidated office are all internal staff
Song Xiao asked Wang Peng what situations are commonly encountered when carrying out tasks on a daily basis
In the eyes of Wang Peng and Old Zheng, the employees of the Heavenly Court are merely a somewhat special profession
Wang Peng is classified as an external staff member and is theoretically directly managed by the chief director, Huang Yongxian
Even if you possess profound cultivation, you must not let your guard down when facing those firearms, or even high-tech weapons that you have never heard of
Wang Peng shook his head with a bitter smile and took a sip of wine
Wang Peng has a good tolerance for alcohol, having consumed three bottles of beer without changing his expression and with a clear gaze
Such people possess abundant yang energy, especially that young one, who looks particularly appetizing
The two individuals have a close personal relationship and often gather together for small get-togethers.
Zheng Ting curled his lips in disdain, lit the cigarette in his hand, and with a weary expression, exhaled a smoke ring.
He smiled and comforted me, saying that as employees of the heavenly court in the human world, we have a significant hidden benefit
The daily responsibilities are handled by Deputy Director Zhang Mingfeng
At this moment, Song Xiao had also received the information transmitted to him via the token
Not long after, they turned into a rugged country road
With a chuckle, he asked: "Aren't you curious how we know the whereabouts of the demon clan?"
There are many dangerous professions; is drug enforcement not dangerous? Everyone is using their lives to protect what we deem worthy
People of all ages and genders are present
You are thinking nonsense
There are indeed not many things that can scare him into running away in a panic.
There is not much difference from other office workers, the salary and benefits are good, there are no significant dangers, and there will be a substantial bonus at the end of the year
In front of a barbecue stall
As the two people chatted and walked, a fog suddenly began to appear all around them as they were about to approach that area
Wang Peng was taken aback: "Oh?"
Wang Peng joked, "You can't possibly have a cold constitution, can you? Drinking white liquor on such a hot day and not sweating at all?"
Song Xiao
Is it truly resolved
The responsibility of defeating them in the next departmental dinner is entrusted to you
The relationship with the Beijing representative office is very good
Is that so
Do you know why my relationship with the boss is so good
Wang Peng furrowed his brows slightly and murmured, "Something seems off!"
Fortunately, you are wearing sneakers; in our line of work, one must always be prepared
Song Xiao glanced at the bottle of beer and said, "How about... some white liquor instead?"
It seems rather difficult to deal with...
Wang Peng moved with agility and swiftness, using a powerful flashlight to lead the way ahead
We are all mere mortals; if struck at a vital point, we will die just the same
Is it them
The Mr. Su he recommended is not well known to Zheng Ting and Wang Peng; they only know that he is a person of very high status and position
The fog has dissipated, but around the two individuals, numerous figures have emerged
He plopped down on the small stool and grinned at Song Xiao, saying, "Today, I will treat you to the most expensive set meal! The barbecue here is truly authentic!"
Chirping in the mist
Wang Peng said: "The boss was also in the field back in the day; it was he who brought me into the heavenly realm"
Even if one were to die... one could still attain a minor divinity, thus escaping the suffering of reincarnation
He turned to the waiter and shouted: "A bottle of Niu Er!"
Hello, it's just a level one, what kind of conspiracy could there be? You, as an internal staff member, don't need to join in the excitement. Rest assured, I will take good care of Xiao Song
To protect the two of us, he sustained serious injuries. Although he miraculously survived, his strength was greatly diminished... Subsequently, he transitioned to an internal position.
Song Xiao frowned
In the past, when I helped others deal with certain issues, I often ventured into remote and desolate areas, so I am somewhat familiar with them
Zheng Ting greeted the boss with familiarity and then began to list the dishes.
To put it in a clichéd way, it is...
Wang Peng came over with a grin and said, "Boss, you have made quite a bit as well, can't you stop always putting on this poor and shabby appearance?"
The scriptures of cultivation are right there, but how many throughout history have been able to attain immortality
It's nothing, it has already been resolved, just a small trick, I will teach you later
Old Zheng has a moderate capacity for alcohol. He is usually cautious and humble, but after a few drinks, he reveals a certain literary and artistic temperament.
The underground parking lot reappears
The tranquility of the years you perceive is merely the result of someone else bearing the weight and moving forward for you
Is this the result?
From the mouths of the two individuals, he learned a great deal of information that he had not previously encountered.
Wang Peng couldn't help but give Song Xiao a thumbs up: "Impressive!"
For this type, we primarily focus on monitoring
