Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Jiu Yue spoke eagerly, "I told a lot of lies, but what happened that day was all true! I was planning to confess to you after Bai Kou's incident was over."

However, both she and Wangxu had seriously overestimated themselves, thinking that they could easily kidnap the company executives with their strength. If Mr. Mingyuan had not been present, she would probably have to agree to the other party's request, at the cost of her freedom, leave the city, and be sent to the unknown heaven.

"Besides, I remember now!"

At that time, she thought that her affection for Mr. Ming Yuan was love at first sight. However, it was not until Mr. Ming Yuan activated the barrier and reconstructed everyone's memory that Jiu Yue finally understood where that inexplicable affection came from. "You have done this before! Activate the barrier and reconstruct everyone's memory, making them believe that the hovercraft broke down and crashed into the company building!"

Duan Mingyuan remained silent.

He realized at that time that he and the company were not compatible. Even though the company promised him a bright future, there were some things that could not be done just by turning a blind eye.

"That's why I can't remember it!"

Jiu Yue always felt that she had met Duan Mingyuan, but whenever she thought about it carefully, her past memories turned into a mist. She was like a lost person in the fog, unable to find a definite answer.

Although she still couldn't remember anything, she was sure that the hazy figure in her memory was Mr. Mingyuan.

"You saved me from the company, and you treated me to fried chicken legs."

It was from that moment on that chicken became her favorite food and she always felt warm from it.

When Jiu Yue mentioned fried chicken legs, Duan Mingyuan also recalled what happened that night.

One afternoon, he walked into the hamburger shop near the school as usual, and a hover car carrying uninvited guests suddenly stopped at the door of the hamburger shop.

As early as his teenage years, the company's human trafficking industry had already begun to take shape. The company at that time took a fancy to his abilities and recruited him to join the security department, responsible for ensuring the safety of goods during transportation.

He originally thought that they were gold, silver, jewelry or rare resources, but when the goods were handed over to them, he found that what were packed into the boxes were monsters and even unconscious humans.

When he raised his objection, the head of the security department advised him that "some things can be solved by turning a blind eye", which was exactly the same as Bai Kou's promise.

Twenty or thirty years later, he can enjoy the company's benefits, leave this planet and live in "heaven". By then, the sins and guilt here will no longer have anything to do with him.

Duan Mingyuan, who was still a passionate young man at the time, decided to follow the voice of his heart.

Every human trafficker is found and punished.

He vaguely remembered that there was a little fox among the cargo. It did not run away with the other monsters, but walked towards him tremblingly.

She tilted her head back and looked at him with her watery eyes.

He thought the little fox must be starving, and he happened to have some fried chicken legs in his schoolbag that he had not finished eating.

"Those people said they knew the whereabouts of my parents and tricked me into selling me to the company."

September said.

At that time, she had not yet mastered the skills of a fox, so she was locked up with other trapped animals.

Just when she was most confused and helpless, a hero really appeared.

"Mr. Mingyuan, you asked me the reason the other day."

Jiu Yue looked at the person in front of him seriously, "The little fox has come to repay his gratitude."

To repay a favor.

Duan Mingyuan suddenly relaxed, leaning against the pillow and staring at the ceiling.

That was the relief that the mystery in my heart was finally solved.

The unfinished business of my youth has finally come to an end.

The company's senior executives died, and the largest human trafficking gang in Yunlong City was destroyed.

At least today, the people and monsters in this city can sleep well.

Chapter 76 There Must Be an Evil King

When September woke up, it was already daybreak. After a whole night of thinking, she learned her lesson and decided to change her strategy.

It doesn't matter whether she is manipulated or blackened. Just like in movies and TV dramas, she had no choice before, but now she just wants to be a good person. Moreover, after learning about the real terrorist organization Wangxu, she found that she could not get along with those people at all.

Her only enemies are the company and the people in heaven. She is totally uninterested in Wangxu's ideas of "survival of the fittest" and "everyone is guilty".

When I came out of the bedroom, Duan Mingyuan had already bought breakfast and was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.

"Mr. Mingyuan, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about your battle with Zephyr."

As a bystander, he witnessed the entire process of the battle. To be frank, Jiu Yue and Liu Zai, despite having the numerical advantage and designed a sneak attack tactic, were ruthlessly beaten by Xi Feng.

The barrier was broken, and the two men were unable to cause any substantial damage to Xifeng.

According to the ratings he proposed, Jiuyue and Liu undoubtedly met the standards for senior professional titles, which was the highest level of evaluation he could think of at the moment.

No wonder Bai Kou is so arrogant and compares the company to God.

The combat capabilities of both sides are not at the same level at all. Even if all the senior professors were assembled to fight the company, the scene would be no different from mortals rebelling against God.

Jiu Yue's face fell immediately, "My ability is completely ineffective against him. I have never encountered such a thing before."

The power to manipulate disasters is invincible, but it also makes her too dependent on her own abilities. Once her abilities fail to work, she will have no means of attack.

Mr. Ming Yuan demonstrated to her that even if he couldn't use his ability to reconstruct the armor, he could still use space collapse to blow off half of Xifeng's body.

So, above the senior level, besides the growth of life energy, the most obvious sign is the creation of diverse skills according to one's own abilities?

Thinking about it this way, she has indeed limited the development of her own abilities.

"This is not a good sign. Tang Qianqian found out that there are many members of the Long Branch at the head office, and the number is increasing every year."

This is not a problem of the three generals or the four heavenly kings. Conservatively speaking, a strong man of Xifeng's level can form a team.

There may even be an operations department in the company that is higher in level than "Long Branch".

The only good news is that he is currently more skilled than the members of "Long Branch", which can buy them some time for stable development.

"With your current strength, it is difficult to compete with the company. Moreover, the range of this life measuring instrument is limited. It can no longer measure the life energy fluctuations above that of Madam White Bone."

Duan Mingyuan could only infer through physical sensation that Mrs. Bai Gu's life energy was much lower than Jiu Yue's, and she was about to enter the stage of senior professional title.

"But... there are no relevant cultivation methods left in the tribe."

Jiu Yue held the still steaming chicken and mushroom pancake and sat down next to Duan Mingyuan.

This battle also shattered her blind self-confidence. If she wanted to break into the company's flagship in the future and find her father and mother who were under house arrest, her current strength would be far from enough.

Fortunately, Mr. Mingyuan should be a good mentor.

"Even if there were, they should have been destroyed by the company. They don't want more of us to develop life energy."

This is the mentality of keeping livestock in captivity.

Farmers definitely don't want the pigs in the pigsty to suddenly grow fangs and eat up the workers they hired to do the work, "but maybe some tricks of cultivation will be passed down in some way."

"You plan to find them?"

"Ah."

"What about the hunter?"

Jiu Yue took out her cell phone, which contained messages sent by Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping early this morning. After learning about the history of hunters, they felt that perhaps they could rebuild this profession.

Embarking on a spontaneous trip, traveling around the world and encountering different monsters, this kind of life seems to be very romantic.

Oe also agreed with both hands, or rather, his biggest dream in life was to rebuild the Imperial Hunting Court.

It is not the Yushuting who surrenders to the company, but the Yushuting who coordinates the overall situation and saves people from danger.

She asked curiously, "Mr. Mingyuan, what do you think of evil spirits? Do you want to catch them all?"

Jiu Yue felt that Mr. Ming Yuan was more like a neutral person. He had neither good feelings nor dislike for evil spirits. How he treated evil spirits depended on their behavior. Just like the Red-Eyed Demon, it had escaped from the "devil" twice in a row and had become a legend among the evil spirits in Yunlong City.

She added, "I know where most of the evil spirits in Yunlong City are hiding. I can gather them together and catch them all in one fell swoop."

This was the time for her to make amends. Between the evil one and Mr. Mingyuan, Jiu Yue chose the latter without hesitation.

The title of the Evil Queen is better off not having it.

Duan Mingyuan shook his head. "No need. Now it seems that evil spirits are just another form of life energy stimulation."

"What if they continue to harm people?"

Jiu Yue felt that she needed to give Mr. Ming Yuan a shot of prevention. "Evil spirits become stronger by devouring humans." This was the conclusion Mr. Ming Yuan came to after his own research.

If some evil spirit causes a big mess at that time, she will have to take the blame.

"Now it seems that the evil spirits eating people are the result of Wangxu's behind-the-scenes push, but we must look beyond the phenomenon to the essence."

This is what Liu calls "survival of the fittest." "What really stimulates the life energy of evil spirits is not the act of cannibalism, but indulgence in lust. It's just that many people are confused when they first become evil spirits, and only have the instincts of living things left."

"Indulgence?"

September asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"This is all thanks to Tang Qianqian. I have always had a question that I couldn't figure out. She increased her life energy during her first fight with the Red-Eyed Demon, but why didn't the next two more critical situations stimulate her potential?"

At first, Duan Mingyuan took it for granted that the growth of life energy was related to killing monsters and upgrading. It was not until he experienced the incident at Congyun Hotel and the company's executives that he suddenly realized it.

"The reason why Tang Qianqian's life energy increased when she was sparring with the Red-Eyed Demon was because she finally admitted defeat and slacked off, and she actually achieved a peaceful truce. This was her deepest wish."

The last two times, because the situations were too critical, Tang Qianqian had no chance to slack off, which also went against her life principle of slacking off.

"You mean to say that only by slacking off can Tang Qianqian become stronger?"

"In fact, humans and evil spirits are the same. As long as their inner desires are satisfied, their life energy will become stronger and stronger."

But in most cases, people cannot live in desires and can only satisfy their desires in illusions.

"So, I thought of a way to greatly reduce the number of evil spirits in Yunlong City."

"any solution?"

"Let them work, and set up strict job title evaluation."

"Eh?"

"The reason why they immerse themselves in the world of dreams is because they can do whatever they want in dreams. However, once they cannot indulge themselves in dreams, and even have to face more difficult work than in real life, as well as higher standards for job title assessments, they will think, 'It's better to work in the real world.' This way, those evil spirits who are not afraid of job title assessments can be screened out. Even if they face hardships in dreams, they can face them calmly. This is undoubtedly the mentality of the strong... In order to realize this plan, someone needs to gather them together."

Duan Mingyuan paused and said, "There must be a king of evil spirits, and you are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate."

I read many works today and studied this new book carefully. I found a serious problem. Many readers responded that the daily plot was too bland. The reason is that the daily plot of this book is not funny and the funny style of the previous books is lost. This problem will be adjusted in the second volume. I hope to get the humor back soon.

Chapter 77 You, the King of Villains

"Ah? The King of Evil, me?"

Jiuyue, who had originally prepared to retire and do good deeds, pointed at herself in a daze. Her pointed ears trembled several times, and her face was full of disbelief.

Mr. Mingyuan always makes some shocking remarks.

Could it be that... this is Mr. Mingyuan's true face? Not only does he want to become the leader of the justice organization, but he also wants to control the evil forces. In this way, the future battle between good and evil will become a matter of palm touching back of hand.

However, judging from the way he dealt with the company's senior executives, he is very experienced and even more skilled than the criminals who have been against the company for many years.

Early this morning, the company began a thorough internal investigation, and the conflicts on Blue Star were transferred to Wangxu. Fuling also transferred a large sum of money to Dajiang because they devotedly helped to deal with the aftermath, and laid a good foundation for subsequent cooperation.

Jiu Yue didn’t know what Fuling was thinking, but judging from her style of doing things, she was a moderate person, completely opposite to the deceased Bai Kou.

"Human desires are endless. When it comes to dealing with evil spirits, it is better to release them than to block them. Even if this group of evil spirits is gathered together and eliminated, more and more individuals will be born in the future."

Luring the evil spirits in and killing them can only be done once. After that, the evil spirits will scatter to various places. With their current manpower, they simply cannot divide their forces to fight.

"September, why do you think most evil spirits are born through 'dreams'?"

"Because Wangxu is behind this?"

"This is just an appearance. The real reason is that they are unable to realize their wishes due to their respective living situations. As a result, most of the 'third-category citizens' are unaware that they have life energy and can only be free for a short period of time in 'dreams'. Wangxu saw this and guided them."

Duan Mingyuan couldn't help but suspect that this was also the company's strategy.

The increasingly heavy workload not only restricts people's development of life energy, but also once these people begin to emerge through dreams, they will immediately be targeted by the company.
