Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

"And this is also related to Nightmare. I finally figured it out. The monster was not targeting us from the beginning."

Dajiang lowered his voice nervously. After all, he had died from Yehuo's strange ability and had personally experienced his terror. "They mentioned that an important figure from Huanyu Company will arrive in Yunlong City one day next week. According to the intelligence they have, Yehuo has colluded with a criminal organization called Wangxu and plans to take action against that important figure. Fuling hopes that we can serve as the security guard for that important figure during this period."

As long as this commission can be successfully completed, the funds for activities in the next few quarters will be secured.

More importantly, they might be able to take this opportunity to build their reputation and truly establish a self-sufficient industrial line.

Dajiang felt that there was probably no more powerful reputation in the world than being a security consultant for Universal Company.

“The company should have its own security department.”

Duan Mingyuan felt that the whole thing was full of unreliability. He had only met Fuling once, and both parties did not know each other. If that big shot was really so important, how could she, as the director of the life science department of Yunlong City, give such an important job to someone she had only met once?

"'Professional matters should be left to professionals', that's her explanation. Our duties are different from those of ordinary security personnel. We play the role of special forces."

"A surprise soldier?"

"To be precise, Lao Duan, it's you!"

At the table, only Dajiang's voice was heard. "That monster Yehuo never dreamed that a surprise force would show up at the critical moment and turn the tide of the battle!"

There is a new idea for the new book. If the new book goes well, after each boss battle, a Q-version ability card of the boss will be made, which will be presented in the form of a subsequent Easter egg chapter. The composition of the ability panel refers to the stand panel in JOJO. Currently, the ability card of the first boss is already in production. If you have any good suggestions, you can leave a message. If it is feasible, it will be adjusted according to everyone's feedback. (Text, small theater, single chapter explaining the ability after the boss battle, illustrations are all acceptable)

In addition, the reading performance of the new book is very important. I also hope that everyone will read the latest chapter every day and don’t keep reading. Thank you very much~

Chapter 38: Steady and Improving

This matter not only involves the company, but also concerns the night disaster.

“Old Duan, although I believe in your ability, if you have the company to help, this may be the best time to get rid of the night disaster.”

Dajiang lowered his voice. After careful consideration, he believed that accepting the company's commission was the best option at the moment. As for the future relationship between the organization and Universal Company, a decision could be made after the big problem of Night Disaster was dealt with.

Night Disaster is the most dangerous monster they have ever encountered. If its abilities are allowed to continue to grow, the entire Yunlong City may be submerged in a flood of disaster in the future.

Fortunately, he didn't have to face it alone this time.

He found two comrades who were worthy of his trust. The side-by-side fight while cleaning the house that day had enabled them to develop an unparalleled tacit understanding and friendship.

That's why he came here tonight and told the two of them his thoughts in person.

"Mr. Dajiang, you are right."

Jiu Yue, who had shown her dislike for him since he entered the room, suddenly changed her attitude and analyzed the current situation seriously. "We are the biggest variable. Ye Huo must be concentrating on thinking about how to deal with the company. He has no idea that there are special forces like us!"

"That's right, September!"

Dajiang was delighted. Although September's temper had worsened recently, she had never let him down on major issues.

After reaching a consensus, both of them turned their gazes to Duan Mingyuan who was in deep thought.

“It’s indeed an opportunity.”

"Great, I'll give them an answer when I get back. That way, after they pay the deposit, we can use the money to purchase some equipment. For example, I think your 'combat power tester' is quite interesting."

You can tell the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent at a glance, and formulate a strategy to fight or retreat.

“This is called a life energy tester.”

Duan Mingyuan corrected.

Standardized terminology is very important in the industry and can greatly increase the efficiency of work communication. As the liaison officer of Yunlong City and the oldest practitioner, Dajiang should pay more attention to these than others.

"Oh, yes, it's a life meter."

Under September's stern protest, Dajiang had to skip the drinking session. The little fox was right. Facing a powerful enemy, each of them had to keep a clear head and stay away from all kinds of sensual pleasures.

"I'll come and have a drink with you after everything is settled."

"Mr. Dajiang really only thinks about himself. Mr. Mingyuan is a good man who doesn't smoke or drink."

The gentle tone made Dajiang feel more stressed.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Duan Mingyuan did not comment. He had no habit of drinking and hated the company's drinking culture. He would never go to a dinner party if he could avoid it. Even if he had to go, he would politely decline other people's toasts due to health reasons.

He really couldn't stand seeing colleagues who were vomiting and having diarrhea, or even talking nonsense after getting drunk. Every time he saw the mess after a drinking party, his blood pressure would soar.

According to conservative estimates, if he frequently attended drinking parties, he would live ten years less due to high blood pressure.

"I put this bottle of wine away."

Jiu Yue picked up the bottle of wine, acting like a hostess at home, and announced with great momentum, "This wine can be used for cooking. We understand your intention, Mr. Dajiang, but please don't send me wine anymore in the future."

Duan Mingyuan glanced at Jiu Yue in surprise.

Sometimes he envied the straight-talking ninja way, but in the workplace he had to consider interpersonal relationships and his own image. Even if he sometimes had the urge to smash someone's head, he had to keep a decent smile on his face.

This is the price that "reliable adult men" have to pay.

And this little fox has a free life.

He now strongly supports Jiu Yue's decision to refuse Dajiang from bringing alcohol home on his behalf.

After seeing Dajiang off, Jiuyue naturally put on an apron, wrapped the remaining half of the big plate of chicken with plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator, put on waterproof gloves, and carried the empty bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen.

"Let me do it."

Duan Mingyuan followed him in. September's move in had indeed brought great changes to his life. In the past, he seldom had to clean up the dishes. Another advantage of takeout was that they could be thrown away after eating, saving a lot of effort in cleaning up.

But he didn't reject it. He had an indescribable feeling.

He saw Jiu Yue making way for him, humming a little tune in a good mood, and responded with his tail wagging, "Then I'll wash the pot."

With reasonable team division of labor, everything is so harmonious and smooth.

Perhaps this is what people often call steady and positive development.

"Mr. Mingyuan, are you happy with your life now?"

Jiu Yue beside him suddenly asked a question, and for a moment, Duan Mingyuan felt that the other party seemed to see through his heart.

This little fox usually looks stupid, but sometimes it is unusually sharp.

Jiu Yue was washing the pot, but her eyes were on him. The warm light reflected in her pupils, refracting a dazzling glow.

She was waiting for the answer very seriously.

This is a serious question.

“It’s much better than before.”

Duan Mingyuan quickly hid the fleeting throbbing in his heart and gave the other party an ambiguous answer.

It is 20:47 now. What would he be doing at this time before?

Most likely he is working overtime in the company, preparing for the upcoming inspection by the head office.

Dinner might be various breads mixed with a cup of instant coffee, and then working overtime until the whole building is plunged into darkness and silence.

"I see."

September nodded carefully, which she took as a positive response.

Mr. Mingyuan is a reserved person and never likes to show her true emotions in front of others, unless she completely angers the other person by making one sock longer than the other.

After a moment, she suddenly said, "Then, let's start special training from tomorrow."

If the purpose of the operation is to defeat Ye Huo, the current Yang Ping and Tang Qianqian are far from enough, including the intern Red-Eyed Demon whom she is very optimistic about. If they are pushed onto the real battlefield, there will only be one possibility.

They will all die.

Once a company is involved, it is no longer the same family battles that we fight in our daily lives.

By that time, she had no time to take care of every detail.

Based on her understanding of Mr. Mingyuan, if Yang Ping and Tang Qianqian died, Mr. Mingyuan would probably be sad, right?

After all, Mr. Mingyuan said that he hated knives the most.

If she was stabbed with a knife while watching a drama, she would feel uncomfortable for a long time, so she found a light-hearted and funny work like "Monster Story" that did not involve any knives at all.

"Don't you want to watch Monsters?"

“You can put it aside for now.”

Jiu Yue forced a smile, "It was said in the Ruihu Training Notes that when two people are together, we can't just care about our own happiness. After all, I am your companion demon, and making you happy is my job."

"Don't laugh like that anymore."

Duan Mingyuan also became serious.

"Eh?"

"You just smiled like a character in a play who has a lot of secrets and is about to give razor blades to the audience."

The total number of days on the shelf: 40~

Chapter 39 Death of a God

With the efforts of many parties, the first special training in Yunlong City was launched in full swing. Duan Mingyuan was appointed as the first instructor. Dajiang believed that this might become one of the important moments in the industry. When people in the future look back on this history, they will firmly remember the contributions made by instructor Duan Mingyuan.

Of course, the premise is that this industry can continue to exist in the future.

"The hotel's information has been sent over. The people in the company are efficient. Lao Duan... Ugh, Old Duan."

Dajiang was distracted by his own vision of the future and almost spoke out of turn.

He must feel that he needs to make up for it, "The term 'prison section' means that new people in the future industry will remember your contribution, which is different from the interpretation on the Internet."

"You don't have to explain."

Duan Mingyuan didn't take it to heart at first, but Dajiang's forced explanation made him feel a little weird.

At this moment, he and the students of the "Summer Camp" were gathering next to the fountain in front of the main entrance of the hotel. This place used to be one of the most popular places in Yunlong City. However, with the continuous influx of aliens, more and more high-rise buildings were rising from the ground. This historic hotel gradually couldn't keep up with the pace of the times and disappeared from people's sight.

The fountain had long dried up and it must have been a long time since anyone had cleaned it. It was filled with garbage and dead leaves.

The hotel not far away is only four stories high, and the old walls are covered with ivy, giving people a desolate and gloomy feeling.

"Uh, anyway, I'll send you the information in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Qianqian couldn't wait to ask, "Senior, what did Mr. Dajiang say? Is this place really haunted?"

She also did some preparatory work before the training camp started.

After being impacted by Tianwaimin, the hotel was on the verge of bankruptcy. Tianwaimin once put the acquisition plan on the agenda, but because of a subsequent incident, the hotel continued in another way.

The alien inspector who acquired the company died suddenly during the night he stayed at the hotel. Since then, this place has been shrouded in a haunted shadow.

The death of the aliens in Yunlong City naturally became the top news at the time. After all, at that time, people had a strong filter for the aliens, believing that they were omnipotent. Some even called the aliens gods who had descended to the earth, because in their cognition, only gods would descend from the sky and bring creations that were far beyond people's imagination into the mortal world.

And on that day, the god died in this hotel.

However, it was later announced that this "god" had been suffering from heart disease. His condition suddenly worsened that night, and his assistant was not around, so he eventually died of a sudden myocardial infarction.

Everything has been answered scientifically and medically.

But there are still many people who make a big fuss about myocardial infarction, believing that the deceased must have encountered something unclean before being killed, which caused his heart disease to deteriorate rapidly.

Since then, more and more strange stories have been reported.

The stairs leading to the non-existent fifth floor, the resurrected portrait, the figure in the mirror with no eyeballs and blood in the eye sockets, the young couple who disappeared in the hotel...

The hotel gradually gained great popularity among paranormal enthusiasts, and to this day, there are still many paranormal enthusiasts who make a special trip here to check in.

"Please listen to the question."

Duan Mingyuan did not answer but asked, "Xiao Ming is a paranormal enthusiast. According to the information he searched and sorted online, he found that all the rumors of hauntings started with the death of the aliens. If you were Xiao Ming, combined with the knowledge of evil spirits and the above information, try to analyze the authenticity of the rumors of "evil ghosts killing people" in the hotel."

"real."

"fake."
