Chapter 172: New Organizations

The evil spirit paused briefly and turned to Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo exhaled a mouthful of smoke towards his face, his crimson lips hidden in the mist, "Did you fall asleep in there?"

The evil spirit said at the same time, "Rarity, are you waiting for me?"

Both of them paused, the atmosphere was slightly subtle. Jiang Luo took the lead to break the silence, "If you don't have problems with your eyes, then you wouldn't have asked this unnecessary sentence."

Chi You's body smelled faintly of blood, and Jiang Luo knew it was Qi Yuan's blood.

The entire courtroom was covered in blood, which the cleaners had to clean several times, and Jiang Luo watched as the pots of blood were taken out.

Qi Yuan died a clean death, but Qi Ye was so stunned that he froze and knelt beside Qi Yuan, and no one was able to get him up until Qi Yuan's body was taken away, and then he followed the body in a state of confusion.

Jiang Luo is squatting here to catch Chi You, but not to let Qi Ye see Chi You, and Qi Ye is not in a state to see evil spirits.

He was simply curious about Chi You's strange appearance.

Jiang Luo not unnaturally eyed Chi You with a secretive and revealing look.

Chi You didn't change her face, but her palm slowly rubbed the head of her cane, "You waiting for me in person always makes me feel like you're up to no good."

"I'm being unkind?" Jiang Luo, "Mr. Chi, don't you even ask your own conscience when you say that."

His fingers holding the cigarette frivolously pointed at Chi You's chest, the sparks flickering brightly, Jiang Luo shrugged, "Oh, sorry, almost forgot you don't even have a heart, so how could you have such a thing as a conscience."

The evil spirit raised an eyebrow and lifted his hand to hold Jiang Luo's fingers.

The white gloves made of silk are slightly cool, Jiang Luo smiles but not laughs, and backhandedly burns Chi You's hand with a cigarette butt.

The evil spirit reacted quickly by gripping Jiang Luo's hand, two long slender fingers thrusting through the cracks in Jiang Luo's fingers and then slowly moving forward, closing in on the thin cigarette held between Jiang Luo's index and middle fingers.

He was dressed solemnly, like an extremely well-bred, serious and curmudgeonly elder, "It's a bad behavior to burn a cigarette butt into another person's hand."

His mouth was unflinchingly stern, but the pure white glove of his hand thrust into Jiang Luo's fingers brought up a dense, deliberate itch.

On the surface, Jiang Luo knew that every move the gentleman made, every look he gave, was a tease, a hint of other unspoken adult undercurrents.

"You lack breeding," the evil spirit said, "but I can give you some minimal instruction in manners."

Chi You was deliberately distracting Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo noticed, the ends of his eyes raised as he relaxed against the wall. The dark-haired beauty looked like she could do whatever she wanted with her posture, but Chi You knew that this was just a cannibal flower temporarily wearing a harmless cloak, but in reality, she was already coated with venom, and if she touched him one more time, she would probably die from the poison.

This pretty cannibal flower raised its eyes to look at the evil spirit and lazily said, "Is Mr. Ji so idle, coming to the court hearing specifically to kill Qi Yuan not to mention, but now he wants to spend his time teaching me to increase my culmination for free - that's right, it's free, isn't it?"

"For others there may be a charge, but for you it's free," the evil spirit finally changed the cigarette from the human's fingers to his own, he let go of Jiang Luo's hand and brought half of the cigarette to his mouth, "After all, we're on extraordinary terms. "

The dark-haired youth rolled his eyes.

He knows Chi You, and Chi You knows him. The evil spirit knows what Jiang Luo wants to know, but he is reluctant to say anything, even interrupting Jiang Luo's pursuit of the truth in this way.

"First of all," the Evil Ghost smoked enjoyably, smoke spilling out of his mouth and making his perfect face even more attractive as a god's, and he smiled, "as an adult, you need to know the most basic of manners. You can't smoke in public, got it?"

Jiang Luo looked at the cigarette he was holding in his mouth, "Now you know."

"Good boy."

The evil spirit nodded in satisfaction as he shook out the ashes of his cigarette, then lifted his cane and gave Jiang Luo a light smack on his calf, "Secondly, on occasions such as this, your attitude needs to be proper and you need to stand straight."

Jiang Luo stood up straight in a cooperative manner, but his expression was diffident, "Mr. Ji, more than these boring instructions, I want to know why you came to court today dressed like this?"

The evil spirit seemed to sigh, "Why don't you take a guess."

Jiang Luo immediately said, "What's the reward for guessing correctly?"

The corners of the villain's pale lips lifted as he pressed the cigarette he'd been smoking to the end out and threw it on the floor, "That's probably the next free tutorial."

Jiang Luo, "Then I'm not interested."

Saying that, he still guessed with interest, "When I was in the mirror world, I saw a picture of a man dressed exactly like you are now. That man is your grandfather, right, and he's related to Qi Yuan?"

The evil spirit's cane was inserted into the crack of Jiang Luo's leg, "When standing, keep your legs together between them, leaving no space."

The cane went up from the calf, but when it was about to cross the knee, it was caught by Jiang Luo's legs and could not move any further. Jiang Luo's long legs together, not leaving a gap, he smiled and said, "Is that so?"

Evil Ghost, "Yes."

He absently drew his cane and answered Jiang Luo's previous question, "Keep guessing."

Jiang Luo thought of Qi Ye who came to him all night in the rain just to see Chi You. Qi Ye's state in the past two days was not right, and she looked as if her entire perception had collapsed, as if she was in a state of bewilderment and despair.

Qi Ye was usually so arrogant, Jiang Luo had never seen him look so helpless, as if he had taken the blame for something.

His thoughts turned to Qi Yuan's agonizing gesture before his death.

Chi You definitely did something to Qi Yuan.

Instead of killing Chi Zhongye, he used Qi Yuan's death to terrorize Chi Zhongye. letting the Chi family people live in prison even though they could not escape the fear that Chi You would come and kill them, letting them be in constant fear until Chi You actually killed them.

Compared to Qi Yuan, the surviving Qi family and Chi family talents will suffer mentally. It is here that the contradiction lies.

As a little cannon fodder to be used, the original main character would be tortured by Chi You to the point of no return after killing Chi You, so why did Qi Yuan, one of the culprits, die so easily and without even suffering much pain?

This is so weird.

The evil spirit's cane fell gently at Jiang Luo's knees and thighs as if urged, "So, what's your guess?"

Jiang Luo looked at him meaningfully, "Did Qi Yuan kill your grandfather?"

There was a slight, unnoticeable movement under the villain's hand, "Close."

Jiang Luo reached out and gripped the end of the cane, and said decisively, "The Primordial Heavenly Pearl made from your soul can enhance other people's spirit bodies, and your grandfather's soul had the same effect, didn't it? He used your grandfather's soul to enhance his own spiritual body."

Chi You was silent for a few seconds, "Right answer."

"The most powerful part of the Chi family's puppet soul-refining technique is actually the soul-refining," he said absentmindedly, "Only the Chi family know how to draw out someone else's spirit body and utilize the soul's value to the utmost, and apparently Qi Yuan is my grandfather's spirit body's 'heir'."

He let out a low chuckle, "Three generations of geniuses in the Qi family, sounds really enviable."

The Qi family even started to make a fortune with these three generations and squeezed into the six great families.

The moment Chi You nodded his head in recognition of such a dark family secret, Jiang Luo was suddenly reminded of the humiliation he had suffered as a young boy. The corruption of those in power, the selfishness of human nature, caused a sudden surge of disgust and anger in his heart. He gripped his cane tightly and yanked it to his side. The evil spirit was brought forward a step, close to him.

Jiang Luo's breath rolled in and out, each exhalation wrapping the evil spirit in it as if on purpose. His reddish lips opened and closed in mockery, "Mr. Chi, you're pathetic. So you came to the trial this time to reclaim your grandfather's spirit?"

"And dressed as your grandfather, perhaps also called a sacrifice?"

"You could say the same thing." Chi You said with a pale face.

Jiang Luo gave a couple of laughs.

--The fire in his heart raged even more.

The evil spirit looked down at his demeanor as he stood in front of Jiang Luo in a disciplined manner, not touching any of Jiang Luo's skin even though he was close. It looked polite and civilized, gentle enough.

But this was only on the surface, in fact, only Jiang Luo knew that the cane held by Jiang Luo was dishonestly rubbing against his waist, and even wanted to be more secretive and nasty.

Jiang Luo's teeth felt itchy when he looked at him in this state, and he simply took out this fire from nowhere on Chi You, wanting to break his superficial hypocrisy.

He flung his cane to the side and said with a grimace, "Chi You, I told you, didn't I, that the next time we meet, I'll be destroying the clothes that are temporarily stored with you."

Jiang Luo said, "Bring it."

The evil spirit didn't expect him to remember this, and he laughed silently, extending his hand and saying indulgently and generously, "You can search for yourself."

The figure of the evil spirit with its open hand almost enveloped Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo did not hesitate to reach into the pocket of Chi You's coat, but there were no clothes of his in the coat.

Jiang Luo continued to feel his way inside, and his hand came to rest in the pocket of Chi You's suit pants.

Chi You's thighs were firm and long, but the only drawback was that they were a little cold. Jiang Luo touched both pockets through a thin layer of fabric, feeling like he was touching Chi You's legs. He ignored Chi You's increasingly heated eyes as he looked at him, and carefully touched them from the inside out before withdrawing his hand, "Nothing here either."

"It's hard to ......" Jiang Luo looked at Chi You's chest pocket.

But when he got on it and molded it, there was still nothing.

Chi You calmly withdrew his hand and straightened his cufflinks, "Such an important thing, of course I had to hide it properly, how could it be found so casually by you."

After he straightened his clothes, he courteously bowed his head again. Jiang Luo pressed against his chest and smirked, "What do you want to do?"

"It's a beautiful day," Chi You said, "and we should celebrate it with a kiss."

Jiang Luo locked eyes with his dark ones, but only rose with gusto to reject the coolness of the evil spirit. He pretended to speak in Chi You, "As a gentleman, how can you kiss someone in public?"

"What does that matter," the evil spirit, "they can't see me, only you."

As the evil spirit tried to continue to complete the kiss, someone at the end of the corridor shouted, "Jiang Luo, go away! Officer Lin is looking for you!"

It's Lu Youyi and them.

Jiang Luo instantly remembered what Lu Youyi had said about "kissing" and what Ye Xun had said about "ambiguity". If he and Chi You were to be seen by them in their present state, wouldn't it be impossible to wash away even if they jumped into the Yellow River?

The black-haired youth ruthlessly tried to end the game, he tried to push Chi You away, but the evil spirit seemed to smile and didn't move in place. Jiang Luo dared not use big movements for fear that he might reveal something.

The evil spirit said, "It looks like you've already made up another 'script' with your friends."

He deliberately rubbed his fingers over Jiang Luo's lips and said with interest, "What's the script this time?"

Jiang Luo warns, "Mr. Chi, it's time for you to get the hell out of here."

But as soon as those words were out of his mouth, the evil spirit's movements intensified. His smile waned slightly as he forcibly pushed a finger inside Jiang Luo's lips, Yu Guang glanced to another part of the corridor, "Your friends are approaching."

"Don't ever move," the evil spirit said, "or will they think you've been haunted and soiled by evil spirits again?"

With that said, Chi You's excitement was still growing as he followed Jiang Luo's flippant lead and rattled off script after script, "Maybe they'll think that you and I are back from the dead, or that an evil spirit has compelled your mind. They'll see you being bullied by unseen ghosts and monsters pressed against the wall, and you can say it's from your ex-boyfriend's relentless anger."

Jiang Luo was happy when he took the initiative to write the script, but he felt a bit ashamed when he watched Chi You say that.

"Shut up," Jiang Luo reprimanded, "Say it again, do you believe I'll write the word 'impotence' for you?"

"Jiang Luo?" his friends, who had already run halfway down the road, thought he didn't hear them and increased their voices, "Officer Lin is looking for you, we should go."

"You even talked to me about cooperating before, and offered to kiss me in your dream, only to curse me so hard today," Chi You's tone was calm, "Jiang Luo, why are you so fickle."

His voice got lower and lower, as if he were muttering to himself. Finally, he withdrew his hand from Jiang Luo's mouth, because Jiang Luo had bitten him so hard that Chi You abandoned the white glove. He gently kissed Jiang Luo's lips, who was holding the glove, and his eyes locked with Jiang Luo's, the madness, fascination and coldness hidden inside intertwined, and he said in a low voice, "But this kind of you, really makes me like you."

Jiang Luo breath suffocated for a moment, the evil spirit's eyes like an ocean wrapped up all over him. Let him feel breathless, as if sinking into the sea, plunged into the mud, and even there is a hidden and excited drum beating.

His mind seemed to go blank for a moment, and then it seemed to be filled with vanity and triumph, or a pleasure that he didn't yet know what it was.

Isn't it right to like me?

I'm such a good person, I'll be the one to control you in the future.

Jiang Luo was thinking, the evil spirit's kiss suddenly fell on Jiang Luo's neck. Jiang Luo's neck trembled lightly, unexpectedly a little emotional. The knot in his throat rolled, and the evil spirit took hold of it again and licked it.

Jiang Luo's fingers grabbed the evil spirit's arm, and in the next instant, the evil spirit violently raised his face to look at him in shock, his complexion so black that it dripped ink, and he disappeared in disbelief.

Jiang Luo saw him disappear before he gasped and spat out the glove in his hand, "I told you not to move and you still did, that's not rolling."

He used the rest of the air to write the word "roll" for Chi You.

Chi You was so strong that Jiang Luo did not dare to use a more powerful Character Spirit on him, fearing that he would be backfired because he did not have enough air. But even so, this character used up all his remaining air, and only drove Chi You away for a short distance. However, Jiang Luo felt very happy, he turned his head to look at his companions and pretended to walk up, "Officer Lin is looking for me? Good, let's go."

But his companions looked at his face with odd eyes.

Jiang Luo was unsure, "What's wrong?"

Lu Youyi said frankly and frankly, "Jiang Luo, why is your face red?"

Jiang Luo inexplicably looked toward the glass window.

The glass window reflected his slightly red face.

It's not the most important.

Most importantly, his mouth contained a smile that hadn't yet collected, and his eyebrows contained a springy look, as if he had just had a vigorous workout with someone.

Jiang Luo's smile curls, "......"

Jiang Luo barely manages to get past his friends with lies and leads them to Officer Lin.

Officer Lin found an office and talked to Jiang Luo about their plan.

The state is prepared to establish an institution that will absorb the talents of the metaphysical community and specialize in dealing with metaphysical events, completely breaking the three-legged situation of the metaphysical community and holding the metaphysical community in its hands for full management.

This organization is not known to the general public and is mainly dominated by talents from the metaphysical world. There would be specialized police and medical care as logistics to escort it. Other details would be prepared by the state, and what was most lacking now were talents ready to work with the state.

In the past, it was the country that indirectly set up student tasks in a roundabout way with the twelve colleges and universities, but now it was the country itself that absorbed the talents, the essence was completely different. Within the eight people, only Zhuo Zhongqiu was still somewhat hesitant, while the remaining few talents that had not been absorbed by the six great families at all showed a full ten percent interest in this cooperation.

Jiang Luo pondered for a moment, "What is this organization called?"

Officer Lin smiled awkwardly, "We follow your rules, the full name of this agency is the 'Bureau of Natural Science and Social Research and Protection', which we have taken to calling the 'Bureau of Scientific Research' these days. "

Jiang Luo : "...... Good name."

"You can also apply for a name change if you don't like it," Officer Lin said enthusiastically, "What do you think? Are you interested in working with us? As long as you join our 'Research Bureau', you'll be the first batch of seniors, we fully respect your opinions and ideas, you'll enjoy the treatment of our national civil servants, and you'll also be able to have a publicly-funded reunion, how great is that?"

Ge Zhu's eyes light up and he pokes Kuang Zheng, "I'm impressed."

Kuang Zheng read the contract and a shaken look appeared on his face as he whispered, "My parents grew up hoping that I could become a teacher or a civil servant."

With the exception of Jiang Luo and Zhuo Zhongqiu, the others were already visibly moved. However, they did not agree immediately, wanting to see what Jiang Luo and Zhuo Zhongqiu would decide.

Zhuo Zhongqiu was miserable, she was a young person herself and wanted to explore new endeavors on her own more than inheriting the Zhuo family. What's more, building a brand-new, start-from-scratch department with the state was too cool for Zhuo Zhongqiu to turn down at all!

She couldn't help but run to Jiang Luo and sit down next to him, "Jiang Luo, you're a disciple of the Heavenly Master's House, what do you think?"

Jiang Luo lowered his eyes, "I plan to leave the Heavenly Master's Mansion."

The moment these words came out, everyone looked towards him in shock. Zhuo Zhongqiu was also subdued for a few seconds and mumbled, "Why?"

Because he and Feng Li, are not personalities that can get along.

Feng Li's controlling nature annoyed Jiang Luo, who had disliked him from the first moment he met him, but Feng Li had treated him well, and if it had continued like this, Jiang Luo would have been willing to repay Feng Li's investment in him by following his words as a disciple. But the way Feng Li looked at him on the mountain made Jiang Luo feel sick to his stomach and disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

If Feng Li no longer looks at him with the eyes of a master, then Jiang Luo will no longer treat Feng Li with the attitude of a disciple.

He'd already decided he wanted to disconnect from the Tennessean, and the cooperation handed out by the state was the next best place for him to go.
