Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

"rest?"

Duan Mingyuan said subconsciously, "There will be plenty of time to rest in the future."

When they were studying, teachers told them to just grit their teeth and persevere until graduation, and then they could play however they wanted.

After arriving at the company, the section chief often talks about how he can relax for a long time after finishing his work.

And then before I knew it, it was now.

Duan Mingyuan thought about it and felt that what Jiu Yue said was not appropriate.

Rest was no stranger to him. It was always very close to him, as if he could just keep walking forward a little further and it would be within his reach.

Total number of days on the shelf: 20

Chapter 11 Happy times are always short

Times of joy are always short-lived, and so are times of rest and peace.

When night fell again, Duan Mingyuan's thoughts were interrupted by the noise of commotion coming from outside. He pressed the pause button and stopped the screen on the tablet at the most exciting part.

This is a new drama on the website, with a social animal as the protagonist, and elements of superpowers, the future, and love are added. The plot of the first episode begins with the protagonist being kidnapped by unknown kidnappers on the way home.

Although he felt a little reluctant, this afternoon was sinful enough for him.

After dinner, I took out the tablet and lay on the bed, where I have been ever since.

As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw the cat at the window, half of her head sticking out to spy on Jiuyue downstairs. When she saw Duan Mingyuan leaving, she turned around, frowned her delicate eyebrows, and said, "It's the company's security department."

The company is the name given by the locals to the alien organizations. The high school history textbooks also mentioned that the aliens who came here did not come from a unified country, but were a huge organization called "Universe" formed by people from different worlds. Its purpose was to maintain the connection between different worlds and to solve the disasters that occurred between different civilizations.

For Duan Mingyuan, these are just important knowledge points that will appear in history exams, and he does not have too many special feelings for the company itself.

Because ordinary people like him are unlikely to be involved with the company in their lifetime.

Companies do recruit talent from different civilizations, but that is limited to the top talents in each industry.

However, the history teacher at the time jokingly mentioned another possibility of being noticed by the company - blowing up the company building and becoming a universe-level wanted criminal. At this time, the company would send out their mysterious security department.

Although it is a security department with top-notch personnel and equipment, there are many different opinions about this mysterious department on the Internet. Many people believe that ordinary personnel in a company's security department can destroy an army single-handedly.

This was the first time that Duan Mingyuan observed the company's security department at close range.

The pitch-black flying object hovered above the neighborhood, and searchlights lit up the night sky.

Corporate security generally does not take action without the involvement of local law enforcement unless the situation threatens the company itself.

"What are you doing sneakily?"

Seeing Jiuyue's appearance, Duan Mingyuan, who had originally had a clear conscience, also became nervous.

This little fox looks harmless on the surface, but could it be that he is a universe-level wanted criminal with a bounty on his head by the company?

But soon, Jiu Yue dispelled his suspicion. She looked at Duan Mingyuan in confusion for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, right, why am I sneaking around? They are not here to arrest me. I was confused because of my sleep."

He shook his head, and his pointed ears stood up. He pointed at the night sky excitedly like a child, "Mr. Mingyuan, look! There's a flying car!"

"That's a hover car."

Duan Mingyuan explained to her that he didn't know how these cars flew, but it was said on the Internet that the cost of a hover car was as much as that of an entire building.

The question is what is the company's security department doing here?

He opened the owner group that he hadn't checked for a long time. The owners in the community had already started a heated discussion. According to an owner who claimed to know the inside story, the company was targeting a cleaning worker in the neighborhood. These are two people who would never be together in reality, but now they are involved in this bizarre way.

Some people even brought out the most common routine on the Internet recently, speculating that the sanitation worker was looked down upon on the surface, but secretly he was the leader of a mysterious organization, and the company mobilized a large force this time just to welcome the return of this leader who had retired for many years.

Duan Mingyuan was not unfamiliar with the name mentioned by the owners. He was a man in his early fifties who always wandered around the community alone late at night. Occasionally, he would meet the other party on his way back from overtime work.

According to his understanding, the reason why the man had such a bad reputation had nothing to do with his occupation. Some people said that he always harassed young girls who were alone, and some people said that he was not clean and several theft cases in the community might be related to him.

As the only informed person in the owners' group, Duan Mingyuan immediately thought of the abnormal phenomenon he encountered on his way home from get off work last night.

An unknown evil spirit appeared in the alleys near the community. Later, the evil spirit's companions killed two people who were dealing with the aftermath. Then, one night later, the company's security department arrived.

"Mr. Mingyuan, look! The hovercraft is flying towards us!"

September pointed out the window and said excitedly.

Duan Mingyuan was not happy at all, especially when the dazzling searchlight of the hovercraft shone on them. Almost at the same time, a mechanical voice came in, "Mr. Duan Mingyuan, please don't be nervous. The company has no ill intentions. Please wait for a moment. The company representative will come to your door in 1 minute and 03 seconds."

In an instant, the group of owners was in an uproar.

The case was solved, it turns out Duan Mingyuan was the leader of that mysterious organization!

The aunt who had only spoken less than ten sentences to him suddenly became an insider in the group, claiming that she had long felt that the young man Duan Mingyuan was extraordinary.

Others claimed that they saw Duan Mingyuan having a private meeting with a big shot who often appeared on TV while walking his dog one night.

With the help of rumors, the mysteries were solved one by one.

In just one day, Duan Mingyuan was recognized by people in two ways that did not meet his expectations.

After the Ogre Brawler, he was given the title of "Dragon King", a position poor Mr. Sanitation Worker didn't even last more than 10 minutes.

After all, no one is willing to believe that the leader of the mysterious organization is a pervert. As for Duan Mingyuan, more than 90% of the people in the community have never spoken to him, so he is full of mystery.

Even Jiu Yue suddenly realized what was going on. She crossed her arms, proudly puffed out her chest, and acted like she had seen through everything. "So you are the leader of a mysterious organization. No wonder those evil spirits are no match for you. Although I don't know if it's too late now, I still want to tell you, if you become rich, don't forget me!"

The leader of the mysterious organization also needs a capable assistant, so why can't it be her?

She knows a lot of things and is fully capable of playing the role of an assistant.

"Just stop making trouble."

Duan Mingyuan watched helplessly as the rumors in the owners' group became more and more outrageous. The remaining 1 minute and 03 seconds seemed like a year to him.

When the numbers on the screen jumped again, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground finally came closer and closer.

The voice stayed at the door for three seconds before knocking on the apartment's security door.

"Mr. Duan Mingyuan, I am Fuling, the director of the Universal Life Sciences Department in Yunlong City. I hope to take up half an hour of your time."

I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!

Chapter 12: The Bird of Death

Universal Life Sciences Division.

Duan Mingyuan had never heard of this department, but the title of director was enough to prove that the other party was of great importance.

Someone else came to visit. He signaled Jiuyue with his eyes to open the door, and then he started to get busy.

Peanuts, melon seeds, senbei and the most expensive dragon fruit. After thinking it over again and again, he took out the tea from the corner of the room that he had originally intended to use as a gift to maintain the relationship. Since he had resigned, the gift that he had originally prepared was no longer useful.

Although the director can be considered an uninvited guest, making every guest feel at home has always been the family's goal.

Fuling looked at Duan Mingyuan who was busy running around and suddenly felt that the scene was a little strange.

Based on her understanding of Duan Mingyuan, he was an expert who had solved two unusual cases in succession. His eccentric personality was her stereotype of this group of people, but the first impression Duan Mingyuan gave her was that he was a little... too normal.

It was clearly just an ordinary office worker preparing refreshments for a sudden guest.

She signaled the captain of the security department to stay outside the door with her eyes, and then Duan Mingyuan's voice came from the living room, "Jiuyue, the slippers are in the second drawer of the shoe cabinet, please get them."

"okay!"

Jiu Yue welcomed her into the house with a big smile on her face, "Welcome, big sister who drives the hover car."

The leisurely swaying big red tail distracted Fuling's sight. She bit her lip lightly and tightened her arms around a big black bird. The overly large crow made a quack sound.

It's so furry, I really want to pinch it and feel it.

"You're welcome too, big black bird."

"It's the mourning bird. We've met before."

The mourning bird seemed to be very afraid of September. It shrank its neck while emphasizing, "I have a name. You should call me Mr. Black Feather."

"I remember now." Jiu Yue suddenly realized, her eyes lit up, "Black-feathered chicken!"

She wiped the corner of her mouth without any concealment.

With such a big size, the meat should be very plump, right?

"Ms. Fuling!"

The mourning bird curled up in panic, which was enough to show how much of an indelible psychological trauma September had left on him.

Duan Mingyuan understood in his mind that it seemed that the fox's restraint should be expanded to the entire bird system.

This also explains why the director of Universal Life Sciences would come to visit at this time - Jiu Yue and the mourning bird that Fuling held in her arms as a pillow seemed to be old acquaintances. Based on this relationship, wouldn't the company's director be his future colleague?

If a high school history teacher knew about this relationship, he would probably introduce his deeds to his students every now and then.

After arranging the tea and snack sets, he took the initiative to ask, "Do you know each other?" in the spirit of building a good relationship with future colleagues.

"Ah."

Jiu Yue opened the photo album on her phone, which contained all the photos she had treasured for a long time. Jiu Yue in the photo looked a few years younger than she is now. The background was a dilapidated temple located on the top of a mountain. The mahogany pillars were covered with yellow talismans, which looked gloomy.

An unusually large tabby cat was nestled in Jiu Yue's arm. Duan Mingyuan searched for a long time before he found the mourning bird in the photo with only half of its wings left.

"This is me, and this is Lihua. She is also in Yunlong City now."

Then, Jiu Yue pointed to the half wing in the photo and said with regret, "This is the black-feathered chicken we found in the mountains. It's a pity that it escaped."

"We're classmates! How can we discuss whether to stew or braise after we say hello to the monster?"

It seemed that because Fuling was holding it in her arms, the bird of mourning had some confidence. After criticizing Jiu Yue's atrocities, it turned to Duan Mingyuan and said, "You are her match, and you seem to be reasonable. You should take care of her more. Eating everything will only harm her!"

Hearing this, Jiu Yue became alert, "But I remember that the person you are destined to be with is not her."

Companion monsters can only have one bond partner, and their duty is to stay with that bond partner and grow together with them.

This contract will only terminate if one party dies or the other party personally terminates the relationship.

"Let me explain."

Fuling had expected Jiu Yue to ask this question, and explained, "Last night, this seriously injured child happened to fly into my residence. After I took it to the company's medical department for treatment, the child told me about his experience. He and his karmic partner were attacked while handling an unusual case, and he was the only one who escaped."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.

September mentioned that two colleagues whom she had not met yet died last night.

"This kid mentioned that the person who exorcised the evil spirit lives nearby. I came here specially to express my gratitude. By the way, I also want to meet the expert he mentioned in person...that is, you, Mr. Duan Mingyuan."

Without waiting for Duan Mingyuan to say a few polite words, Jiu Yue proudly boasted about Duan Mingyuan's glorious deeds, "Mr. Mingyuan is the most powerful human I have ever seen. He slapped away those evil spirits with one slap. Everyone in the company knows how powerful he is and affectionately calls him the Ogre Boxer!"

What an awe-inspiring nickname.

September was very satisfied.

You don’t have to speak if you can’t speak.

All the thoughts in Duan Mingyuan's mind stopped at this moment, and only this desperate thought remained in his mind.

He didn't understand the social structure of monsters, but Ogre Boxer was definitely not a good word in human society. What puzzled him even more was why he was associated with such a title?

The frozen expression of the mourning bird deeply hurt his eyes. He clearly saw the poor child trembling with fear. After a long while, he warned Fuling who was hugging him intermittently, "Be careful, we have broken into the ogre's lair!"

On this day, it once again recalled the fear of being chased all over the mountain by Jiu Yue and the tabby cat.

"Don't be nervous, they won't eat you."

Fuling gently stroked the bird's head and said, "According to this kid, the most important thing in this business is to exchange information. I can also take this opportunity to learn more about evil things. Of course, I won't come empty-handed."

As she spoke, she placed two stacks of reports organized in folders on the table.
