Chapter 10: Temporary partner

"At a quarter past four, there are three preliminary candidates. Okay, that's almost it. I'll go to the People's Hospital." Fu Xingchuan stood up.

"The second team is on the line with Guo Laifu, what are you doing?"

"It's stable here. Yin Ren has the qualifications and can at least be a clerk. Well, both of them are under the nose... It's hard to say about Guo Laifu. He is an important person and young people lack experience."

Fu Xingchuan pressed the dark circles under his eyes and made a face.

"If a key clue is missed, I can't bear the responsibility."

Professor Li: "Well, be careful of sudden death."

Fu Xingchuan: "...I thank you."

The number one ghost waved his hand and turned on his cell phone to call for a ride.

A message "Dong He's Sad Love: Missing Mr. Rose" popped up from the top of the screen. Fu Xingchuan casually glanced at the title and closed it smoothly.

Another messy push from video websites.

Yin Ren recognized Zhong Chengshuo at a glance.

He still looked calm, with not a drop of sweat on his face. Those who went with him were much miserable. The young man's steps were weak, his whole body was wet with sweat, and he looked as white as if he had just been dug out of the snow.

Yin Ren didn't know that most of his goal of "staying in Shi'an" had been achieved. He was talking passionately with the Lu family brothers and sisters.

This time Professor Li didn't make fun of Fu Xingchuan. He frowned and was also lost in thought.

Yin Ren patted his trouser pocket bitterly. Not to mention novel items like mobile phones, his only dagger was also confiscated, and his pockets were cleaner than his face.

Yin Ren hurriedly smoothed his hair and reached out to Lao Bin, who was lying in a pile: "Did I scare you? I'm sorry."

Yin Ren, Lao Bin: “…”

He seemed to have a deep psychological shadow, and his face was full of panic: "I will never go back the way I came."

There was no door in the corridor behind the corner. The lights were much brighter. There were green plants on both sides of the corridor. Two figures were approaching slowly from the opposite side.

Zhong Cheng said that you are a big living person, are you going to cause trouble? The person was still paralyzed on the ground. Even if Yin Ren hadn't seen anyone for a thousand years, he knew that this was not a good time to introduce him.

Before he could close the pop-up window, a call came in.

Zhong Cheng said: "We just finished checking the previous project-"

Lao Bin laughed twice and finally took Yin Ren's hand. Yin Ren easily picked him up and pretended that nothing happened: "Why are you here?"

"No, why are there not enough manpower?"

"Mr. Lao, this is Yin Ren, the person involved in the incident with me."

The red soft hat waved his hand, and they helped each other back to the entrance. It wasn't until the two men's backs were swallowed by darkness that Yin Ren turned around and moved forward.

Zhong Cheng said, looking at Yin Ren who was holding out his hand, and then at Lao Bin. He thought for a few seconds and said, "Yin Ren, please give him a hand."

The blue vest sighed with regret.

Listening to the narration on the phone, his eyebrows slowly furrowed.

Mr. Lao collapsed on the ground, staring at Yin Ren's long hair, whimpering in his throat.

Fu Xingchuan weakly answered the call: "Hey, didn't I say, don't... what these days? Let Xiaoliang answer the phone."

I don’t know if it’s because I’m short of strength or if I have other ideas. Zhong Cheng said calmly and looked at him, motionless.

Yin Ren: "..."

Lao Bin whispered: "Brother, give me a hand."

Zhong Cheng said politely gesturing to the people on the ground. He introduced them with great formality, as if the three of them were exchanging business cards at an award ceremony.

"Are you dizzy from lack of sleep? A suspected evil spirit has been born, and all combat power is being investigated in key areas." Professor Li picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of tea. "Zhi'an only left the most basic security configuration, so you can't move it."

Fu Xingchuan glanced at his partner and frowned: "Okay, I understand. I'll think of a solution here."

"This is Lao Bin, a doctor of health toxicology from N University. Don't mind, he just passed the VR test and hasn't recovered yet."

One person and one ghost experienced the same embarrassment at this moment.

Even though the black door had a strong presence, Yin Ren firmly ignored it.

the other side.

Lao Bin is not tall and slightly fat. He didn't dare to touch Yin Ren's hand. He couldn't stand up because he couldn't stand up, so he had to give Zhong Cheng a hint with his crazy eyes.

The corridor seems to be in the shape of a "back", and there are no forks at first glance. To leave, they could only choose a direction to go back to the entrance.

When he saw Yin Ren, he didn't know what kind of stimulation he was feeling. He screamed and collapsed on the ground.

Something happened suddenly when the evil spirit broke the seal, and even the most inexperienced investigation team was sent out. They really had no manpower.

Seeing Fu Xingchuan end the call, Professor Li shook his cup angrily: "What, the first ghost is going to fight in person? I also have some quick-acting heart-saving pills, take it with you."

"Yes, yes, we just finished the inspection. We met here, so there should be no more inspections." Lao Bin was anxious to resolve the embarrassment. He wiped his sweat and interrupted Zhong Cheng, "There should be staff coming next. Lead the way...let's..."

The three of them stood quietly for a while. Lao Bin turned to Yin Ren and forced a smile: "Friends, what are you testing? How about we take your route?"

Wait, is there really no one available

The two fell into silence at the same time, and then looked at each other meaningfully.

"No, even security-level cases can be handled by the Class C investigation team." Fu Xingchuan smiled bitterly, "But this is a disappearance case, and time waits for no one."

"We are leaving first." The corner of the blue vest's mouth was still stained with mud. "Come on, buddy, I hope I have the opportunity to be your junior next year... Hey, did you bring your mobile phone? How about we add WeChat?"

"It's an emergency. Please come with me."

Before Yin Ren could answer, a female voice emerged from among the green plants.

The hidden door pushed open the leaves, and Fang Yuanyuan stood at the door. She tied up her hair and looked very serious.

Yin Ren responded with a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. He quickly retreated and used Zhong Cheng to block half of himself.

Fifteen minutes later.

Before Yin Renji even stepped into the car, his eyes were already dead.

He suddenly realized the dangers of the world. Not long ago, Fangyuan Yuan had sworn to tell him that "there was no need to travel frequently in the early stage," but as a result, he was about to be taken to Donghe District, Haigu City before he could even sit down in Shi'an.

The most annoying thing was that Lao Bin lay down comfortably in the lounge, and this time he was the only one talking to Zhong Cheng about taking action.

He should have seized the opportunity and fainted just now!

"If you want to show up, at least one person from the metaphysics and one atheist must be paired up. Mr. Lao is weak, so we can only be one with you."

On the way to send them to the car, Fang Yuanyuan explained like this. Yin Ren struggled desperately: "Why do we have to be two people?"

Fangyuan Yuan was very straightforward: "In metaphysics, people are sensitive to abnormal phenomena and can easily find clues; atheists are not easily affected by magic and can save lives at critical moments."

"I was just rescued and I can't do anything."

"All your indicators are good."

Fangyuanyuan opened the car door cruelly.

"Just cooperate with the police in the investigation. 99% of the 'security' level tasks are like "Walk ○ Science", and the remaining 1% are mostly caused by living people. The police station has security personnel, and they will definitely ensure that the two bit of safety.”

"but-"

"If you do well in this mission, you can skip the probation period and get full salary directly." Fangyuanyuan smiled like a flower and pushed the information bag into Yin Ren's arms.

I don't know which keyword he heard. Zhong Cheng, who was silent, was shocked and suddenly said: "Let's go. I'll take care of you if anything happens."

Yin Ren: "..."

Zhong Cheng said very seriously: "Believe me, my parents are both police officers."

But you're not, and you just lied to me less than a day ago.

Yin Ren glanced at Zhong Cheng lifelessly and said that he had no objection after all - according to Fangyuan Yuan, Shi'an Group has the legendary "probation period". If it's too obvious that I'm just waiting to die, I might not be able to be considered an employee.

Their destination is Kaining Road in Donghe District. It is said that it takes more than an hour to get there by car. He should have had a delicious dinner in the cafeteria, but luckily he chose the dinner recipe during lunch.

However, considering that the "shortage of manpower" was partly caused by himself, Lord Ghost King reluctantly swallowed this sigh of relief.

Shi'an's car was quite spacious. Zhong Cheng said he would wait for Yin Ren to get on the car first before following him to the back seat. Unlike Yin Ren, who was wearing a Shi'an cultural shirt, he was still wearing his own loose sweater, with the cuffs almost covering the back of his hands.

When getting on the bus, Zhong Cheng lowered his body and the material of his clothes stuck to his waist and abdomen for a moment.

This guy was not too hot, so Yin Ren glanced at him a few times.

Zhong Cheng said that he was similar in height to him and had a healthy and well-proportioned body shape. His figure could not be called skinny, but it was not "strong" in any way, and it matched that gentle face very well.

They also had physical examination work cards hanging on them. The work card Zhong Cheng was talking about shook and tilted in front of Yin Ren.

A closer look revealed that their names were thoughtfully marked with ghost symbols, and Yin Ren didn't recognize even half of them.

Maybe he was too close, Zhong Cheng said and shrank back: "What?"

"It's nothing. When you said your name was 'Zhong Chengshuo (yue)', I thought the last word was 'yue'." Yin Ren quickly made an excuse.

"Originally, it was called 'shuō', but when I was in school, most people would call it wrong, so I just made it wrong."

"The code for 'Yu Zicheng said'? It's not completely wrong. Compared with 'promise', 'xiangyue' is also quite interesting." Yin Ren naturally withdrew his body.

Zhong Cheng said his eyes were a little deep: "No, my father planned to continue to use the saying 'hope his son will become a dragon, hope his daughter will become a phoenix', but my mother asked him to change the word. They probably didn't think that deeply."

Yin Ren: "..."

What happened to Zhong Chenglong? Doesn’t Zhong Chenglong sound good? He doesn't understand.

But he noticed the word "continue."

"You have a sister named Zhong Chengfeng?"

"Yeah. Zhong Chengfeng, the name of maple tree, my mother forcibly changed the word."

"Good."

Zhong Cheng was silent for a moment: "My sister has been dead for a long time."

Yin Ren was startled: "...My condolences."

"It's okay. She left before I was born. I have only seen her photos." Zhong Cheng said with a calm expression, "Bring out the case information and let's take a look at it together."

At this point, Zhong Cheng suddenly paused for a moment: "Miss Fang sent you a new mobile phone, can you use it?"

A brand new mobile phone lies in a transparent information bag, very conspicuous.

"No impression." Yin Ren took out his cell phone and spoke vaguely.

"Well, maybe you didn't use the touch screen model before. Anyway, add your contact information first..."

Zhong Cheng said that he had done some quick work and raised his head: "WeChat has also registered it for you. What name do you want?"

"ah?"

"Everyone has their own naming habits. Thinking of commonly used online names may be good for you to restore your memory."

It's over, it's over, I don't understand these things at all. The test came too quickly, and Yin Ren was sweating in his heart - he had to fool him first, and then study this so-called "mobile phone" carefully.

From what Zhong Cheng said, he could choose this name himself.

The online name may be something similar to an "alias". Ordinary martial arts practitioners always like to call themselves "XX Dao" so-and-so, and "XX Sword" so-and-so. Even evil creatures and ferocious beasts from thousands of years ago like to give themselves names that are sufficiently shocking.

You have to do the opposite.

Yin Ren racked his brains: "Hmm, let's call it 'Fruit Knife'."

Fruit knife is a modern vocabulary he has just learned. It is more harmless than a dagger!

Zhong Cheng said: "..."

Zhong Cheng said: "... OK, I've done it. If we get separated, you can call me or send me a WeChat message."

He also specially opened the dialing screen and chat page and explained the most basic usage methods.

Yin Ren: "..."

There is only one person in the WeChat list of "Fruit Knife". The WeChat avatar Zhong Cheng mentioned is a red apple, and the WeChat name clearly says "Finally Successful".

Is this funny? Lord Ghost King suddenly felt chilly.

He had a strange premonition that their "temporary partner" relationship might not end so easily.

The author has something to say:

That line of ghostly drawings is Pinyin, and Xiao Yin doesn’t know the Pinyin—

Xiao Yin: Damn, there’s no dinner left.

Xiao Zhong: I feel as if I’m being targeted (
