I'm fishing at the Youkai Investigation Bureau

Chapter 3 What is the reason for your part-time job?
There are several empty old houses in the old district of the capital.Due to government planning, housing aging and other reasons, even old people who want to stay in old houses have moved into urban high-rise buildings.

There are no people here, not even the chirping of cicadas. Even though the sun is setting and the sky is filled with warm colors, there is a desolate atmosphere here.The only thing that is full of vitality is the towering ancient trees that take root here and block out the sun.

Suddenly, several luminous runes appeared on the ancient tree, forming a ring emitting blue light, and the center of the ring was empty white. With the appearance of a figure, the ring shattered , turned into a little bit of light and disappeared.

Lin Zhu reluctantly touched the tree trunk, thinking that the teleportation array would be better, and she crossed two urban areas in less than 5 minutes.

She took out the box and looked at the map, and the target location was nearby.

Lin Zhu stood on the tree stand with his hands on his hips, looked around, and asked tentatively, "Recorder, are you there?"

I hope he is an easy-going person, after all, the bound partner cannot be changed.

There was silence all around, except for the rustling sound of the leaves blown by the summer wind.

In addition to wanting to see what kind of person that unlucky fellow is, Lin Candle is working for the first time, so he wants to ask his colleagues about work-related matters.

In addition, there is no way to start work without the recorder.

Lin Zhu leaned on the tree with his arms folded, looked around again, heartbroken, and shouted: "Recorder!"

"Recorder!"

"Recorder, are you here?"

"Recorder--"

"Recorder~~"

Once he opened his mouth, Lin Zhu felt that the more he shouted, the happier he felt in his heart, as if standing on a high mountain and venting his dissatisfaction with overtime work into a vast valley.

While shouting indiscriminately, Lin Zhu subconsciously spread her palm to catch a fallen leaf swirling in mid-air. She picked up the leaf and looked at it, and was about to put it back into the soil. When her eyes focused on the leaf, behind the leaf Suddenly a blurred figure appeared.

She put down the leaf in her hand, squinted her eyes and asked uncertainly, "...the recorder?"

As they got closer, Lin Zhu's expression was astonished. The moment she saw another unlucky guy, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

It was dusk, the setting sun melted gold, and the sky was full of red clouds.The warm orange light seemed to cover a layer of haze in front of his eyes.

A few rays of sunset glow emerged from the gaps in the layers of leaves, and the snow-like man walked towards her stepping on the mottled tree shadows.

He wore a black and white brocade robe, a jade crown with half a bundle of blue silk, silver forged hair intertwined with a few strands of ink falling on his shoulders, a faint smile hung on his face like a banishment, and the pair of lacquered eyes that looked at her were full of tears. A trace of helplessness.

"...It's me, stop shouting."

His voice is clear and gentle, like the cold wind wrapped in the breath of ice spring, blowing away the heat of midsummer with ease.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Lin Zhu swallowed the "wow" that he almost blurted out, and sincerely apologized for his gaffe.

Who let her call her colleagues in exchange for a moment of relaxation.But... Fortunately, I didn't yell "unlucky guy" or "overtime dog" or something, otherwise I would have almost died.

The man was startled, and replied: "Nothing."

"That's good." She chuckled and looked away calmly.

Now that the special investigator and recorder were in place, Lin Zhu jumped off the tree platform and led the way ahead, with the man following him everywhere.

Thinking of his original intention, Lin Zhu slowed down, walked side by side with him, and took several sneak peeks from the corner of his eye.Although I have seen many people with outstanding appearance in the bureau, none of them can compare with him.

There is a contradictory charm about him, it may be that his appearance is too young, he seems to be a cold person, but he has a bit of nobility and laziness of a son of an aristocratic family.

She coughed lightly and said politely, "Excuse me, is there anything that needs my attention?"

"I don't think so, you don't have to care about me, just do what you want."

The young man stared straight ahead, his tone was unhurried, but sincere, but this sincerity was slightly diluted by the coldness between his brows.

Even though he was talking nonsense, Lin Zhu said "Oh" in surprise, but she didn't expect him to answer.

After a question and an answer, silence fell.

Looks like she'll have to figure out the workflow herself.Thinking in this way, Lin Zhu sensibly took the lead and walked in the front. Just as he was about to speed up, he saw the people next to him following closely behind.The two were always at arm's length apart.

"...?"

She understood inexplicably, and he didn't reject chatting with her.

Even waiting for her to throw a topic.

To be reasonable, Lin Zhu resisted a little.

After all, this colleague seemed gentle, but his eyes, which were vaguely hidden by black hair, were like the deep lake water in the mountains and forests at night, which could not be seen through at a glance.

If you enter rashly without knowing what is good or bad, you may be swallowed by this cold pool.

She still wants to live, she can't swim.

But on this road, there must be no embarrassment. They are partners, and they will see each other when they look up and down in the future, so they still have to maintain a friendly relationship.

Lin Zhu considered it for a while, and was about to speak, but the "sense of proportion" that was mentioned in the manual to get along with colleagues flashed in his mind, and he hesitated to speak.

She scratched her face and asked a harmless question.

"...Are you working overtime too?"

"Yes."

She said in passing: "Oh, the recorder can not wear a uniform?"

"I forgot when I came here, sorry." The young man flicked his sleeves, and the black and white brocade robe turned into white black trousers in the blink of an eye.The uniforms in the bureau are lined with extravagance by him.

Seeing him changing clothes in a second, Lin Zhu's pupils trembled.

"..."

Fortunately, no water! !

She was almost blinded by the recorder's simple work content. It turned out that there was a hidden dragon and a tiger in the bureau, so she glanced at his ID card, which said——Recorder Qianshu.

She wrote down the name secretly, and seeing that the atmosphere was about to cool down, Lin Zhu swallowed, and said suddenly: "May I ask if you are working part-time?"

It is impossible for a black-hearted boss like Wanju to let this kind of talent be wasted in a "can only watch" position, unless he is a non-staff member.

Qian Shu pondered for a moment, then glanced at her thoughtfully, as if he didn't understand why she suddenly changed her title.

He nodded slightly: "Indeed."

These two words confirmed Lin Zhu's conjecture. She was greatly shocked, raised her head suddenly, and blurted out: "So we are the same!"

The previous respect was only maintained on one word.This time, her tone was obviously more cordial than before, and the words "we are the same" seemed to narrow the distance between them.

Why go to work if you don't need money?Naturally, I went to work when I was short of money.If you are still short of money after work, you will naturally have to work part-time!
It's a solid logic.

Lin Zhu didn't expect that this seemingly cold and snow-like figure would be troubled by vulgar objects and voluntarily fall into the mortal world.

She clicked her tongue secretly.

"I'm not lacking." The owner of this voice seemed to see through her brain circuit.

Very well, he is still on the snow mountain.

Lin Zhu's smile froze on his face, and he immediately turned to look at the road.

"...May I ask why you have a part-time job?" Seeing that he did not resist this kind of communication, she dared to ask.

Qianshu lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the sparkling eyes full of curiosity, and slowly spit out a sentence.

"It should be free."

"..."

"Excuse me." Lin Zhu smiled on the surface, and swallowed the uncivilized but almost blurted words that could express her emotions at the moment.

Just three questions are enough to make Lin Zhu's mood fluctuate.

Especially his last sentence, at first hearing, I felt that his voice was sincere, but after careful consideration, Lin Zhu found that he was indeed not lying.

Only she is the unlucky one!
hateful.

Seeing her undisguised expression change, Qianshu's eyes were filled with interest and inquiry.

After some self-education, Lin Zhu let out a foul breath, and glanced at him belatedly.

The corners of the mouth on that outstanding face are still slightly raised, no special emotion can be seen, the conversation just now seems to be just an illusion.

The familiar silence struck again. Lin Zhu looked at the eye box. It was not far away on the map, but there was still half the distance left.

Also, they didn't talk about anything, after all, it's only been a few minutes.

Lin Zhu sighed, feeling that the journey was long.

To be honest, she is not good at getting in touch with strangers, let alone choosing appropriate topics.Most of the time, I decide whether to speak or not based on my intuition and the current mood.

Simply put, she, Lin Zhu, is really not a Sheniu.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Qian Shu casually said: "I haven't seen you before."

"Ah." Lin Zhu didn't expect him to take the initiative to start the topic, and couldn't help complaining, "I just joined the job half an hour ago, so it's normal that you haven't seen me."

Qian Shu paused: "It's hard work."

"Thank you?" Lin Zhu was overwhelmed by the flattery, and said seriously, "It's not hard work if you make money."

Qian Shu frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you short of money?"

"Of course, why should I go to work if I don't lack money!" Lin Zhu spread his hands and replied indifferently, "My current total assets are 120 cents."

Since he spoke first, of course she wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

"Oh—" He was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled lightly, and said, "Save some flowers."

It's only the beginning of the month.

"Food and lodging are included in the bureau. As long as you don't waste money, you can get paid until next month!" After finishing speaking, Lin Zhu raised his head and took a sneak peek at him. Doesn't this colleague seem difficult to get along with?
"Very good." Qianshu controlled the direction of the topic without any trace, and asked, "Where are you from?"

Lin Zhu replied casually: "Sanqing Mountain on the outskirts of Nancheng is a small place, you probably haven't heard of it."

"I know." He said, "There is a Wentian tree on the top of the mountain."

"It's already so popular on the Internet?" Lin Zhu was shocked for a second, and then suddenly remembered, "Oh yes, the Internet celebrity point is—" subconsciously wanted to explain to him, but there was a short-circuit in the brain, and he couldn't make an accurate answer. describe.

In a flash of inspiration, she popped out a sentence: "It's the place to cheat money from outsiders!"

Qian Shu: "?"

Lin Zhu actively added: "Generations of villagers in Sanqing Mountain have said that this tree is efficacious, it is close to the sky, and it is a sacred tree that is like spring all the year round. Therefore, as long as you hang a red ribbon with good wishes on the Wentian tree, if God sees I will help you fulfill your wish.”

Well, you know, the villagers who can write are bound to those who sell red satin.

"A red ribbon for writing is 100 yuan!"

Qian Shu: "...?"

"That's why." Different from her aggressive tone just now, she had a slightly envious expression, "Still superstitious outsiders are easy to deceive."

Qian Shu narrowed his eyes, which were vaguely hidden under his hair, a rare flash of doubt flashed in his eyes, it was rare for him not to keep up with the girl's out-of-the-box thinking.

She seemed to regard him as an old antique, and even attached a thoughtful note.

Anyway, Qianshu did feel her inexplicable obsession with money.

After a while, he comforted him for the first time: "Work hard."

"Of course, of course." Lin Zhu understands the implication of his words, after all, the commission here is very high.

Seeing her calm down, Qian Shu asked in a low voice: "You don't seem to believe that the sky will see."

Lin Zhu paused, then smiled: "No way." She just said very sincerely.

"Then have you ever made a wish?" He asked quickly.

"No." Lin Zhucheng said honestly.

He persisted: "Why?"

Lin Zhu was at a loss: "Why do you want to?"

He concluded: "So you still don't believe it."

"..."

Lin Zhu was speechless for a moment, not understanding why he broke the chatting atmosphere of getting better, but he was serious about this point.

Even without looking at his face, she could sense the toughness hidden in his gentle tone.

Inexplicably, Lin Zhu had a feeling of being seen through by him.If you don't answer, the other party will definitely continue to ask impatiently.

She took a deep breath and suddenly wanted to say something.

What 'has nothing to do with you', 'Why are you asking this', 'You care too much' and so on.

But when he thinks of his otherworldly appearance and nostalgic style of conversation, he will feel the warmth of a real person.Lin Zhu quickly threw the bad wording out of the blue.

When he was not in uniform, she could not feel his breath at all.

So it's fine if he can't be beaten, no matter if he is a human or a monster, this one may be an existence she can't afford to offend.

It's better to treat each other with courtesy, so as not to cause complications, and quickly divert his attention.

She quickly glanced at the map, but fortunately, she only needed to turn one more corner to reach the target location.

"Oh, oh, it's almost here." Lin Zhu changed the topic awkwardly, wrapped his fingers around the tassels on his shoulders, evoked a foxy smile, and pretended to regret, "We have to hurry up and start working."

Qian Shu lowered his head and glanced at her, his thin lips parted slightly, and his tone was still unhurried: "You are the one who wants to work."

He repeated: "Good work."

"..."

Test……

This guy……

You wouldn't be pointing at her because she didn't answer that question, would you? !
　Lin Zhu: Wow——!There are handsome guys! (peek) (peek again) (peek again)
