Hearing Xu Le calling Ding Ke's name, the black cat nodded happily.
Meow!
But Xu Le was confused. The name Ding Ke didn't sound like a cat's name, but rather like a person's name.
"Your name is really Ding Ke?"
Meow meow meow!
The black cat actually stood up, raised its two paws to the sky, and danced for Xu Le, looking very happy.
Was he happy because he heard his own name? Xu Le wasn't sure.
To be honest, Xu Le was a little panicked. This name reminded him of that indescribable monster again.
Could this black cat really transform
"Ding Ke."
Meow
"Can you transform?"
Meow! ~
Xu Le's hair was grabbed again.
"Let go! Damn it, you're going to lose all your fish tonight."
…
After finishing his studies, Xu Le went to a small vendor in the downtown area and ordered a chicken drumstick rice for 0.25 yuan.
The chicken leg was eaten by Ding Ke, so he could only eat rice.
But luckily, the boss provides free soy sauce so you don't have to chew your food dry.
Rice with soy sauce is quite delicious.
After dinner, Xu Le brought the black cat back to the Night Watch branch.
Gan and Bai Jing did not specifically instruct him whether to come back or not. Logically speaking, it was so late, there should be no need to go back and report.
But Xu Le still felt that he should go back.
First, I really have no place to live, and they didn’t tell me where the accommodation was.
Secondly, Xu Le felt that he had just started working and that his job did not involve field work, so it would be best if he could clock in and out before get off work to avoid being criticized.
At this time, in the captain's office.
Gan and Bai Jing, who had just returned from outside, were chatting about Xu Le.
"I've been with Xu Le for quite some time. How is it? What do you think of this kid?"
Bai Jing shook the coffee in the cup. Although it was ice water, the instant coffee powder dissolved quickly.
Gan took a sip from the cup, then pushed his glasses up:
"Very motivated, absorbs knowledge quickly, and is very smart."
"I used three verys. Lao Gan, you think highly of Xu Le. Are you thinking of taking him as your apprentice?"
Listening to Bai Jing's ridicule, Gan shook his head:
"He is a first-level Red Moon Warlock, and I am only a first-level Red Moon Warlock. How can I be qualified to be his teacher
But Xu Le is making rapid progress. He can quickly master the knowledge given to him and can often draw inferences from what he has learned.”
"Haha, rapid progress is a good thing. This way, he should be able to start work soon."
Gan looked at Bai Jing with some doubt. Having worked together for many years, he knew his captain's character very well.
If Bai Jing simply wanted to find someone to cook the books, there were plenty of bachelor's programs for her to choose from in the finance and law departments of Beacon University.
There is no need to look for a half-baked person like Xu Le who has just completed the required credits.
No matter how low a warlock's salary and benefits are, they are still several times higher than a bachelor's.
Moreover, a person who cooks accounts does not need a warlock at all, let alone the guidance of another Red Moon Warlock.
"What kind of job does the captain want Xu Le to do?"
Bai Jing took a deep puff of her cigarette, then pressed the remaining cigarette butt against the "No Smoking" sign on the wall.
"You can't even think of such a simple thing, Lao Gan, have you damaged your brain by doing so many good deeds recently
I asked you to teach him. You are a psychic and he is also a psychic.
What else can you do? Of course, let him do the same job as you."
The same job as mine? Gan glanced at Bai Jing deeply:
"Captain, do you think Xu Le is qualified for this job?"
"How should I know? But he has great potential. You can see it yourself."
"I understand. I will try my best to teach him. Is there any time requirement?"
Bai Jing's expression suddenly became serious:
"I'm not in a particular hurry, but I don't have much time either. I just think the black tide a few days ago was not that simple."
"If the next black tide is still like this, the guards will be under a lot of pressure, right?"
“The Lighthouse Council has ordered a batch of new weapons from Zion to improve the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers, and some retired warlocks will also return to work.
So there is no need to worry too much about the Kuroshio issue. Training Xu Le is just a precaution. The Lighthouse needs capable young people."
"Okay, I'll speed up the process."
“How about this, after a few days when he is familiar with the basics, you can let him get familiar with it first.
After all, your job depends on personal understanding, and he may not be able to learn it.
But young people are always interested in new things, so they should be very interested in your work."
"no problem."
The two were still chatting when Wang Shu led Xu Le in.
Seeing the two of them standing side by side, Bai Jing joked:
"How did you come back together? The relationship between colleagues has improved quite a lot."
After Bai Jing said this, Wang Shu quickly explained:
"Not together. He and I met on the road."
Xu Le stole a glance at Wang Shu. Why did he look like he was afraid that Captain Bai would misunderstand him? Did Brother Shu really dislike me
"What's the matter?" Bai Jing smiled.
When Wang Shu heard Bai Jing's question, his expression gradually became serious.
“A few days ago, Luo Chai, the son of Luo Juning, kidnapped the daughter of a scavenger in the lower city.
This morning, this woman was found dead in a well in our area, and now the news is spreading like wildfire.”
When Wang Shu said this, the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees.
When Xu Le heard this, he felt a little unfair, but as a newcomer, he had no say here.
Bai Jing lit a cigarette for herself, took a deep breath, and slowly blew out smoke rings:
"This kind of thing is definitely not our turn as Night Watchmen to deal with, right? Let's talk about it all at once."
"This woman was discovered after she was deformed. She injured two brothers, one of them seriously."
The room fell silent again, and no one dared to disturb Bai Jing at this time.
Even though Bai Jing is smiling every day.
After a while, Bai Jing finished her cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt on the "No Smoking" sign again, and spoke slowly:
"The bold and unruly people in the Lower City District actually dared to go against Mr. Luo Juning.
Wang Shu, go back and find some people to beat up that scavenger and make him shut up."
"Yes." Wang Shu nodded directly, without any questioning of Bai Jing's order.
Xu Le standing by was a little confused. Beat the victim? What kind of operation was this
Bai Jing resumed her smiling demeanor and looked at Xu Le, ignoring the doubt in Xu Le's eyes:
"Why did you come back?"
Xu Le suppressed the doubts in his heart and reported honestly:
"I came back to clock out of get off work, and I don't know where to stay."
"Hahaha, that's enough, go back and let Wang Shu take you to the night watchman's dormitory."
"OK."
Following Wang Shu out of the Night Watch branch, the black cat Ding Ke was already sitting on the mailbox at the door waiting for it.
Seeing Xu Le coming out, the black cat immediately jumped into Xu Le's arms.
But when Wang Shu saw the black cat, he frowned slightly:
"Your cat?"
"Yes."
"Be careful, black is ominous."
"Um, actually... Hey, thanks for the reminder, Brother Shu."
Xu Le gave up halfway through his words, saying, "Don't try to change one person, and don't try to change everyone."
It’s not that no one keeps cats in the lighthouse, it’s just that no one keeps black cats.
The act of keeping a black cat is considered to be completely out of place in the eyes of others.
He himself is already in the minority, so why bother trying to convince the majority
Meow! Dink looked fiercely at Wang Shu's back.
Xu Le quickly held it down. How could this little thing dare to act so aggressively towards anyone
Wang Shu brought Xu Le to an apartment building not far from the branch. Although this was in the downtown area, the facilities in this apartment building were very complete.
The decoration and various public facilities are very new. Because it is close to the Night Watch branch, there is no problem with public security here.
The only drawback is probably that my room is in Room 602.
The sixth floor is very high and there is no elevator.
After opening the door, a very clean and tidy house appeared in front of Xu Le.
There is one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. Xu Le estimated that it is about 30-40 square meters.
Although it’s not much different from the house I rented in my previous life, it’s a world of difference compared to the school dormitory.
"This is where you live."
Xu Le took a look at the 1.5 meter bed and said in surprise:
"I live alone?"
Wang Shu frowned:
“If you have a girlfriend or someone like that, you can bring her along, but it’s best not to tell her about the Night Watch.
Although there is no clear confidentiality agreement, some things are not good for family members to know. "
"Ah? Brother Shu, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant..."
"Okay, here's the key, feel free to use it."
Wang Shu didn't give Xu Le a chance to explain. He put the key on the table at the door and left.
But after he left, Xu Le was happy to have some peace and quiet.
"Why am I talking to a piece of wood?"
Xu Le threw himself onto the bed and felt the softness and comfort of the bed.
"Ah, this place belongs to me from now on.
As long as I don't quit my job and work honestly as a night watchman, I can stay here forever.
It’s free, and the water and electricity are free, it’s like a fucking dream.”
Meow!
Ding Ke also jumped onto the bed and leaned into Xu Le's arms.
Xu Le stroked Ding Ke for a while, then lay on the bed to sort out his thoughts. Ding Ke lay beside him, and the man and the cat looked at each other.
Xu Le had thought that Ding Ke was a problematic cat.
But so what
Did it ever hurt itself? No.
On the contrary, every time it appears, it will bring you some good luck.
The shadow of the black cat can be seen when entering the lighthouse, crossing the bridge, experiencing the Red Moon, and finally becoming a warlock.
Xu Le didn't know whether these things had anything to do with Ding Ke.
But he was sure that if it weren't for Ding Ke, he would not have been able to embark on the path of a forbidden warlock.
Be it superstition or intuition, he always felt that he was lucky when Ding Ke was around.
Just like King Zhou didn't know that Daji was a fox? As the emperor of men, how could he not know
Even though their final outcome was tragic, Daji never left King Zhou.
If the Human Emperor is like this, how could I not be able to accommodate a cat!
After organizing his thoughts, Xu Le once again devoted himself to studying.
"If you don't study today, you will become garbage tomorrow. Strive!"
Although books in the reference room cannot be brought back, general materials can be used for personal notes.
Xu Le knew that he lacked a basic knowledge, so he wrote down the nine seals of the technique: Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian and Xing.
Starting tonight, he will study these seals carefully to prepare for learning real techniques in the future.
Although the spell is complicated, it is the foundation of true extraordinary power.
"Let's start with Lin."
Lin, also known as spiritual power, is the recognized source of magic.
The Spirit of the Red Moon is a kind of spirit, which usually represents energy and basic power.
Most destructive techniques begin with Lin Lai.
Soldiers, weapons, and destruction, in addition to representing weapon attacks, also represent the form of destruction through magic.
The combination of Jushi-Lin-Soldier is an energy-based, form-destructive Jushi..."
Xu Le studied very seriously, and the black cat Ding Ke lay on the table and watched him quietly until late at night, until Xu Le fell asleep on the table.
Ding Ke pushed Xu Le with his little paw to make sure that Xu Le was really asleep.
It slowly walked to the notebook, picked up the pen with its kitten paws, and wrote on the paper.
"I have something to say about my master's hard work!
No, no, no, how could he be my master? I am a great, great...
What am I called Tangtang? "
Meow!
Ding Ke tore off the note in anger and put it into the toilet.
