Chapter 78 Joining the gang
After watching the surveillance video sent by his subordinate, Xu Qiang was silent for a long time, seeming to be adjusting his violently fluctuating emotions.
The scene in the video is really exaggerated, and it cannot be dismissed by just three words like "good skills".
Xu Qiang has seen, or rather has, among his subordinates some fighting masters who came from the special forces, but they cannot do it so easily when faced with a few monsters.
Lu Bai's effortless performance in the surveillance footage was comparable to the superhero movie he watched with his son last weekend.
And what about the katana that was pulled out of thin air like a magic trick?
Xu Qiang took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and tried to appear calm.
He enlarged the photo and compared it with Lu Bai: "Is this photo of you?"
"It's me."
"Yeah?"
"yes."
Lu Bai glanced at the phone screen and nodded confidently: "At that time, I was still very thin."
"Just admit it."
Xu Qiang stretched out his finger and swiped on the screen: "Illegal stealing of other people's property, driving a hot air balloon without a license, beating classmates many times during the senior year of high school and being ordered to drop out..."
Speaking of the latter part, Xu Qiang was a little nervous.
However, this resume made Lu Bai's image more three-dimensional in his mind, at least as a person.
"I'm still your senior. Is this how Jiangyu Middle School educates students now?"
To be honest, Lu Bai only just found out about this identity and background.
Is this deathmatch system deliberately trying to trick people?
He was stunned for two seconds and smiled politely: "This is not me."
"You said he's not you?"
"No, this is not me at all."
"Then what happened?"
Lu Bai clenched his fist angrily and punched it several times.
"I still want to know what's going on. I originally wanted to kill more monsters out of a sense of justice, but who did I offend? It actually gave me so many criminal records."
"As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, it's fine. To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whether you get involved in this or not."
In front of Lu Bai, Xu Qiang deleted his illegal resume in the message board and said with a straight face, "I would like to invite you to join the Special Affairs Bureau."
In Xu Qiang's view, Lu Bai's high school grades were not ideal anyway. Rather than letting him idle around and become a destabilizing factor in society, it would be better to give him a job where he can make the best use of his resources.
By the way, I can also figure out how Lu Bai's magic trick of drawing a knife out of thin air came about.
"What do I need to do?"
"Become a member of the field department of the Special Affairs Bureau, responsible for handling incidents involving parasites. Equal pay for equal work, treatment and other benefits are the same as ordinary team members. If you perform well, you can be promoted."
"Then I accept it."
Lu Bai had no reason to refuse this invitation.
It is much more convenient to do whatever you want than to become a criminal suspect and run around with an official background.
Creak~
The ajar door of the ward was pushed open.
Tong Shujuan stared at Xu Qiang with red eyes and said word by word: "You are specialized in dealing with monsters, right? I want to join in."
…
Jiangyu County.
The moonlight is a little hazy tonight.
The thoroughfares and alleys at night are eerily quiet without the hustle and bustle of the market.
A black car driving from the city suddenly flashed and stopped on the side of the road.
In the driver's seat, a particularly handsome man turned to the co-pilot's female companion and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
The man's voice was low and full of magnetism.
Under the dim light, the interior of the car has a more charming atmosphere.
The female companion's eyes were almost watering when she looked at the man. Fortunately, the uneasiness rising deep in her heart did not make her completely lose her mind. She grabbed the collar of her clothes to act weak and said, "Baby, I'm a little scared. How far is it from your home?"
"If you are in a hurry..."
The man smiled evilly, turned off the vehicle, opened the door and walked out: "Then get out of the car first."
"Where are you going?"
The female companion quickly got out of the car, the sound of the high heels she stepped on was quite clear.
She quickly followed the man, held his arm, and carefully looked at the scene on both sides.
The dilapidated houses in front of me do not look like they are habitable.
"Baby, are you worried that I will dislike the place where you live? I'm not that kind of materialistic girl, so I'd better go to your house. I'm not used to being outside...it's so dark, I'm a little scared."
The female companion rambled on for a long time, but the man did not respond or even slow down.
Soon, the two came to an abandoned shop. There were some paper towels and human excrement on the ground. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell. There was also a big word "Demolish" written on the wall.
"Just here."
The man observed the surrounding scene and felt very satisfied.
The female companion unconsciously covered her mouth and nose and complained: "Baby, please, I don't want to be here."
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon." The man reached out and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.
Hearing this, the female companion felt ashamed and annoyed. If she hadn't been wearing high heels, she might have been stamping her feet.
However, in the next second, all her emotions turned into fear.
Tear~
The man’s face bloomed like a peony.
There are tiny strands of flesh connecting a large number of tentacles. Through the dim yellow street lights in the distance, you can feel an absurd horror.
The female companion was so frightened that she fell down and had no time to notice that the palm of her hand was pressing on a pool of sticky objects.
She only knew how to flap her legs randomly, subconsciously trying to stay away from this monster by all means.
The parasite walked towards her calmly.
"Go away! Go away! Don't come here! Help!!!"
The extreme fear caused her tears to burst out uncontrollably.
Inadvertently, she saw an additional figure at the door of the store.
Due to the light behind her, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she was like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw. Her voice sounded sharp and hysterical: "Help! Help me!"
Lu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
"Have you evolved to the point where you can perfectly imitate human speech?"
Someone suddenly spoke from behind, which sounded like a horror story even to a parasitic creature.
It subconsciously turned sideways, wanting to see which guy was so desperate.
"Hello, my name is Lu Bai, what do you call me?" Lu Bai waved and said hello.
Sa!
A strip of meat with a sharp bone knife at the end whizzed over.
"Tsk."
Lu Bai bent down to get out of the way, stepped forward, and deliberately swung his right hand back.
Then the right hand is held in a virtual grip and swings diagonally along with the inertia of the body.
The slender blade flashed in the air.
Pah~
Pah!
The indescribable mass of flesh of the parasite was thrown into the air.
In an instant, the monster's head was in a different place.
Lu Bai patted the non-existent dust on his hands: "Why are you so angry?"
