No one had ever seen the Night Hazard, but it seemed to be everywhere. Even now, as they were talking, the Night Hazard was hiding somewhere and spying on them.
"To put it simply, anyone who has anything to do with Night Hazard will be unlucky enough to die."
"Then stop investigating the Night Hazard for now."
Duan Mingyuan said.
If Oe's words were not exaggerated, and Ye Huo was able to kill people from a distance simply because humans had the idea of investigating, then he was not on the same level as the evil spirits he had encountered so far.
Theoretically inferred evil spirit with a "senior title" may be even more powerful?
But no matter what, this is no longer something that Dajiang, whose energy is only "2", can intervene in. There is only one result of continuing to investigate, that is, as soon as he walks out of this door, the latter will die in various bizarre accidents.
At the same time, another ominous premonition came to my mind.
If Dajiang is included, three colleagues died in Yunlong City in just one day. Perhaps this time it was not them who were hunting Yehuo, but Yehuo who was hunting them instead.
The other two people mentioned by Jiu Yue who had recently formed a relationship with the companion monster were also in danger. If he didn't want to be the only one in this industry in Yunlong City, he had to find the two colleagues he had never met as soon as possible.
"But Mr. Duan..."
Dajiang wanted to say something, but he saw the other party raised his hand and suddenly waved it towards his forehead. His fingers brushed across his flesh and bones and reached deeper.
Then, Duan Mingyuan seemed to take something out of his brain.
The light blue spot was put into a glass bottle that was found from somewhere.
"Don't worry, it's just some insurance measures."
Duan Mingyuan put the glass bottle into his pocket and said, "If you are killed by an evil spirit somewhere else, this energy may be able to save your life."
He hates the practice of hair cutting in fictional works, so he has unique experience in removing blades.
"You are the organization's liaison in Yunlong City. You should know how to contact the other two people."
The situation was more urgent than Duan Mingyuan had imagined, and he had to act immediately.
Before the other two weaklings were also stabbed with blades by Night Fate.
The heart points of both characters are almost reaching 500. If nothing goes wrong, the small theater will be unlocked tomorrow. In addition, the first four-frame comic is already in the process of production, and it should be released in the form of an Easter egg chapter soon (the four-frame comic is mainly about some daily plots, and will also complete some detailed character settings)
Thanks to Zhishouduzhanbaqiandi for the reward of 1000 Qidian coins!
Thanks to Kafalov for the reward of 1500 Qidian coins!
Thanks to Tiandadilong for the reward of 2000 Qidian coins!

Chapter 22 Companion Demon
Although Duan Mingyuan had prepared himself mentally in advance, he was still shocked when he heard that one of his only two colleagues was a high school student.
He couldn't help but suspect that this organization had problems with laws and discipline, as it even recruited high school students.
Another colleague was very suitable for this job. He completed the resignation procedures in one day and officially started his life as a vagrant.
But come to think of it, which decent person would choose such a career?
This was the reason why he and Jiu Yue took a taxi to the opposite side of the No. 1 Middle School in the city after leaving Dajiang. Fortunately, the organization at least reimbursed the travel expenses.
It was just after four o'clock and there was still some time before school was over, and the street across the street was unusually quiet.
When Duan Mingyuan was still in high school, the students of the No. 1 Middle School in the city were superior to others and were the living example of "other people's children".
September lay on the plastic dining table with her pointed ears drooping.
Perhaps because she was tired, she looked listless after coming out of Dajiang's house.
Duan Mingyuan ordered a fried chicken family meal for her, which finally helped her replenish some energy. The table was piled with leftover chicken bones. The little fox ate all the meat on them with gratitude, leaving dense teeth marks on the bones. He observed that Jiu Yue had the fangs of a fox, and it must be very painful for her to bite people.
"Mr. Mingyuan, is school fun?"
I don’t know how long it took, but September broke the silence, and there seemed to be some longing in her eyes.
"Means nothing."
The answer came without hesitation. At least for Duan Mingyuan, high school life did not leave him with any good impressions. However, this was also related to the fact that he devoted all his energy to entrepreneurship at that time. His classmates regarded him as a weirdo and he did not make many friends.
"But I heard that I can make a lot of friends here and play together every day."
"rumor."
In recent years, the population of Yunlong City has quadrupled. The increasing population has caused a shortage of educational resources and competition among students has become more intense. According to young people recruited later by the company, the test questions for high school students are several times more difficult than in the past. The test questions they used to take back then would be given to junior high school students now.
As more and more people get on the bridge, naturally many people will be squeezed into the water.
Based on Duan Mingyuan's understanding of Jiu Yue, this little fox should be one of the ones that will fall into the water.
"I think so too." Jiu Yue believed Duan Mingyuan unconditionally, and the last bit of longing in her heart disappeared. "What are they doing? How come there is no one in sight?"
“It’s all in that building.”
Duan Mingyuan pointed to the red building in the distance. No. 1 Middle School in the city has a long history and countless legendary figures were born there.
It was so legendary that they heard it more than three times a day when they were in school.
"What are you doing in the building?"
"Do the questions."
"What question?"
"Student Jiuyue, please listen to the questions."
Duan Mingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Which of the following options is the founder of modern life energy science? A. Lu Yi; B. Lu Er; C. Lu San; D. Chai Ke."
"C, this is too easy."
"Then increase the difficulty..."
"Wait a moment!"
Jiu Yue raised her hand to interrupt Duan Mingyuan's question. The back-and-forth conversation successfully aroused her interest. "I heard from others that there are rewards for answering the questions correctly."
"What reward do you want?"
"that!"
Jiuyue pointed to the store’s most eye-catching signature dish—crispy chicken drumsticks stuffed with green peppercorns, which were priced at 7 taels for a limited time.
She had been observing the sign for a long time. The fried chicken that Mr. Mingyuan ordered just now did not include this new product that was sold for a limited time. Worried that Duan Mingyuan would refuse, she gave a legitimate reason, "Just now when I went to pick up the food, I heard it calling me, saying that it had been waiting for me here all the time."
Nothing can stop a person from responding to a friend's call.
Seeing Jiu Yue's hopeful eyes and her sharp ears that had regained their vitality, Duan Mingyuan temporarily changed the test question and replaced the "Life Energy Calculation Formula" he was thinking about with a simpler question, "What does the Sichuan peppercorn crispy chicken drumstick taste like?"
"It tastes like peppercorns."
"That's right, go buy it."
He handed a ten-shell note to Jiu Yue, who immediately beamed with joy and skipped towards the counter, wagging his tail.
Duan Mingyuan learned some things about the companion monster from Dajiang. What was contained in the glass bottle was a part of the latter's life energy, which also contained some of Dajiang's memories.
This was an idea proposed by the top management. They believed that instead of using MLM-style brainwashing, it would be better to let real monsters appear in front of the targets. Jiu Yue was brought to the mountain by the organization for this reason.
The original plan for the companion monster was different from what it is now.
The first batch of monsters who received training were more like servants than guides and partners. The purpose of the training was to make them obey the orders of humans.
Companion monsters can only be bound to one person. Once the contract is established, they will always stay with the person they are bound to. The companion monster cannot tear up the contract unilaterally. To this day, the initiative to terminate the contract is still in the hands of the person they are bound to.
It was not until a turmoil a few years ago that the training of companion monsters became a little more "humanistic".
Most of the organization's top leaders were killed or injured, and the few who survived also fell apart. The leaders of various cities barely maintained the normal operation of the organization, but this could not be maintained for long.
Since the organization fell apart, Dajiang has taken out almost all of his personal savings, but this still cannot prevent the number of members in Yunlong City from decreasing, and the number of contact stations has been reduced from four to one.
This company...will go bankrupt earlier than Duan Mingyuan imagined.
"Mr. Mingyuan."
September came back with a lunch box and an oversized chicken drumstick on the plate.
"you eat first."
Even though she was a little reluctant, she still tore off the skin and flesh from the chicken leg with her hands.
When picking up the food, Jiu Yue asked the waiter for an extra lunch box, as half of the chicken leg was for Mr. Ming Yuan.
"I'm not hungry."
"That won't work. Good things should be shared by everyone."
Jiu Yue pushed the chicken lunch box to Duan Mingyuan without hesitation and urged him, "Try it quickly, it's delicious."
Duan Mingyuan no longer refused and put the torn chicken leg meat into his mouth.
The numbing and spicy taste of Sichuan pepper spread over his taste buds, but he started thinking about other things.
Jiu Yue's favorite food is chicken. In order to show that she is easy to feed, she claims that eating a chicken every three days is enough. However, this is far from enough for either an adult or a monster.
The importance of a varied diet has been highlighted in medical journals.
He made a decision. It seemed that he had to look up some information after returning home tonight. He wondered if he could find information such as "Guide to Breeding Rui Fox" on the Internet.
As for the agreement to stay at his house for three days... forget it for now.
The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Dajiang had spent most of his savings. He probably wouldn't be able to reimburse the monsters for their activities anymore.
"September."
"Ok?"
"Eat slowly, it's all over your mouth."
"Well……"
September didn't wipe the corners of her mouth because she was now holding the bones with both hands.
But then, she suddenly thought of something, stood up, bent down, and put her face towards Duan Mingyuan, "Help me wipe it."
Eyes curved into crescent shapes, and mouth corners slightly upturned.
Duan Mingyuan suddenly felt that the healing smiles mentioned in those fictional works probably referred to situations like this.
The current cumulative number of days on the shelf: 20

Chapter 23: A Few Things with the Younger Generation
As the flash passed, Duan Mingyuan's action of touching the corner of Jiu Yue's mouth was frozen at this moment.
Duan Mingyuan finally agreed to Jiu Yue's request.
But this had nothing to do with the little fox's past or her charming appearance, but because he couldn't stand seeing people eat with food all over their mouths.
Just as this action was going on, another of the three, a jobless man, arrived.
"Hey, can I kiss you?"
The person taking the photo made a request.
"Yeah, it's not..."
"Tang Qianqian, it's you."
Jiu Yue and Duan Mingyuan spoke at the same time.
He felt that the world was sometimes like people's evaluation of novels, both unexpected and reasonable.
I quit my job a day ago, now I’m unemployed and I like cats.
Jiu Yue said that the monster assigned to that place was her classmate, a tabby cat monster.
Tang Qianqian, this name also made outstanding contributions to modern life energy science. If she had not completed the resignation procedures that day, the section chief would not have kept her to revise the report on Tang Qianqian's hand, and he would not have worked overtime until nearly 11 o'clock.
You won’t miss your favorite bread, you won’t encounter heavy rain on the road, and of course you won’t encounter the evil spirit incarnated by Mr. Lu San’s consciousness on the way home.
Modern life sciences will most likely stop here.
"senior--!"
