Chapter 225: Must be eliminated!
All thirty-eight members of the Chi family's six branches of the Chi family who had been imprisoned died violently in one night.
Their tongues were pulled out, their eyes bulged out like dead fish eyes, red blood covered the whites of their eyes, and flies crashed all over their bodies. They looked as if they had seen something frightening, and they all died with grim faces. No one knew how they died, and no surveillance cameras captured any images. Officials hastily labeled the incident as a metaphysical side event, and decided to speed up the takeover of the metaphysical community.
When the state first started to take action against the metaphysical world, the remaining four great families fell apart.
Because out of everyone's expectation, the Lian family, a family of witchdoctors, and the Dazhao Monastery, a representative of the Buddhist sect, accepted the state's control in an unambiguous manner.
Zhuo Zhengyu, after realizing that Zhuo Zhongqiu had even joined the Research Bureau to help outsiders deal with him, was furious, scolding Zhuo Zhongqiu for being an unfilial son, and even took a broom to beat her up. In the past few days, he has not been able to see Zhuo Zhongqiu, at this time to hear the news of the Lian family and the Da Zhao Monastery, he was completely stunned.
Zhuo Zhongqiu took the opportunity to advise, "Dad, look at them. Which one of them, the Da Zhao Monastery or the Lian family, is stronger than our family? They have accepted control, so why are you still resisting?"
Zhuo Zhengyu subconsciously scolded her, "Shut up! I think you just want to piss me off!"
"I'm trying to reason with you," Zhuo Zhongqiu rolled his eyes, "Our family has absorbed too little talent, and we can't even get ahead in this situation. Let me put it to you this way, inside information, aren't the students of the twelve colleges about to graduate? Half of these 100+ talents are interested in our department, and are waiting to join the Research Bureau as civil servants with gusto. No matter how good our family's treatment is, can it be better than the state's? No matter how famous the Six Families are, can they be more famous than the country? Not to mention the fact that it's much easier for them to enter the Research Bureau than ordinary people."
Zhuo Zhongqiu pulled out her heart to convince her father, "Who could refuse this offer, Dad, if the country gave you a banner or an honorable title, could you refuse?"
Zhuo Zhengyu : "...... I can't."
Zhuo Zhengyu is not unpatriotic, although he is used to the metaphysical community being a separate entity.
It's just that patriotism is patriotism, and how can the affairs of the metaphysical world be left in the hands of a tiny, only-established research bureau to manage.
"Who is your group leader?" Zhuo Zhengyu asked, annoyed.
"Jiang Luo Ah, you don't even know?"
Zhuo Zhongqiu was completely helpless, ''You don t even know such simple information, what else do you want to do? I advise you to hurry up and follow the footsteps of the Da Zhaoji and Lian family to register at the Research Bureau. I really don't know what you're hesitating about, now that there are only four of the six great families left, those who voluntarily defect can still get the best treatment. Dad, what are you worried about?"
She counted on her fingers, "The state won't be very strict, our family will be the same as it was before and will be the same afterward, but we just need to go through more formalities to get a document. It's just that we need to go through more procedures to get a document, just like a merchant getting a business license, and the big events in the future, such as competitions and the mid-term and final exams of the twelve colleges and universities, have nothing to do with us anymore. Other than that it's no different, the state won't stop you from developing, just not beyond a certain point."
Zhuo Zhengyu frowned, "And a license? How can you call that nothing different."
"This is to better manage the people in the metaphysical world, on the one hand, those who have the ability to give a certificate to prevent the people from being deceived, but also allow you to take orders privately. On the other hand, it is good to investigate and manage, in case there are any more human life lawsuits, or things like bloody eels, it is also good to be able to find out who is messing with them, and less chance to hide dirt," Zhuo Zhongqiu let out a cry, "In the past half a month, you don't know how many dirty things we have investigated, the roots of corruption in the esoteric world, all of them are unjust souls and ghosts rooted in white bones. All of them are unjust souls and severe ghosts rooted in white bones."
I don't know if I don't check, but I was shocked. Zhuo Zhongqiu more and more angry, and finally so angry that his hands are shaking.
No wonder there are so many ghosts in Chi You's dream without the occultists, it's most likely the occultists themselves. Of course, there were good times in the occult world, just like when the country was at war, the occult world never stayed out of it. However, the current metaphysical world is no longer the previous metaphysical world, Zhuo Zhongqiu is very much in favor of handing over the current metaphysical world to the state to take care of.
She pulled one last stunt, "I'm already in the Science and Research Bureau, look at the remaining four big families, besides ours who else has someone in the Bureau?"
Zhuo Zhengyu's spirit was shaken, yes, Zhongqiu is in the Research Bureau, if their family takes the initiative to comply, will it not make Zhongqiu have a good impression in front of the leaders?
Zhuo Zhengyu thought about it for a whole night, and then early the next morning he went to the Dazhao Monastery and talked to the abbot of the Monastery about it. No one knows what they talked about, and that afternoon he committed himself to the Research Bureau.
In this way, in addition to the lingering Xuan Ling Office, the entire metaphysical world was left with only the Tianshi Mansion, which was like a lofty mountain, as a single power.
*
Research Bureau to take over more and more things, the manpower began to be insufficient, just before the graduation of twelve colleges and universities, Jiang Luo made the decision to twelve college graduates and industry professionals open recruitment.
Recruitment will start at three o'clock in the afternoon, the bureau specially prepared a room for interviews. Each interviewer entered the room one by one to examine the strength of strength and moral values, this interview, Jiang Luo only intends to twenty people.
He practiced is the number of people in the fine not in the more, and the scientific research bureau has just been established, step by step need to be cautious, people once more, in case of recruiting in a mischievous, will stir up the good situation.
He was the main interviewer, and to his right sat Wen Renlian and Qi Ye, the two of them, one of whom was responsible for observing the interviewer's character strengths and weaknesses, and the other for examining theoretical knowledge.
Jiang Luo's left side is the superior leader, this is the first time for the scientific research bureau to recruit for the metaphysical community, there must be a witness.
The leader is an ordinary person, he did not ask Jiang Luo all the decisions, happily sitting on the sidelines to watch the fun, a few rounds of interviews down, his thermos of water went down a half.
Jiang Luo picked up the mineral water and also took a sip, gently rubbing his brow, "Nothing too good."
Wenren Lian placed the next interviewer's information in front of him and smiled, "To you now, we're all little kids in front of you."
Especially after experiencing that big battle with the Predator half a month ago.
Wenren Lian and the others clearly realized for the first time that in the battle between Jiang Luo and the Fated Man, even though they wanted to help regardless of life and death, their lack of strength would only result in hitting a stone with an egg, and instead of helping, they would become a drag.
After the big fight, everyone was just as stimulated, especially Ge Zhu, who locked himself in the training room all day and night just to get further.
Jiang Luo said, "That's different."
Without complaining, he dropped his hand and picked up the information that Wenren Lian had given him, quickly going over the interviewer's information.
"Lu Wu, 23 years old, the best graded graduate of Lai Yu University ...... is a genius ah, " Jiang Luo slightly raised a bit of interest, he nodded, "Call him in. "
A minute later, a young man with a handsome face walked in.
Wenren even quipped softly, "Good looking."
Jiang Luo sniffed and looked up towards Lu Wu, who looked up and down with a critical eye, "It's just okay."
The conversation between the two of them was so light and fast that even the leader sitting on Jiang Luo's left didn't hear it, but Lu Wu seemed to be aware of it, and looked precisely towards the two of them, and naturally gave a graceful smile when he met both of their gazes.
He was young, and also wore a more comfortable casual suit for such an occasion, with his jacket open to reveal a slim white shirt inside. The way he held a smile was like a spring breeze, gentle and elegant.
Jiang Luo's eyelids suddenly fluttered.
He looked down once more at the information in his hand, and to his right, Qi Ye began to ask questions of expertise.
Qi Ye asked one question and Lu Wu answered another. He didn't get any of the first few questions wrong.
There's nothing special about this - the first five questions are just basic theory, after all - but it's Lu Wu's demeanor in answering them that's noteworthy. He answered without rushing, laughing and quoting from the classics at his fingertips. Ask him about "walking in the dark," and he'll bring up "The Book of Searching for the Gods" and "Words and Monsters. When asked about Taoist arts, refining tools, drawing talismans, and praying, he also spoke in an organized manner. Qi Ye could not help but ask deeper questions, but Lu Wu's expression did not change, he always had an elegant smile, and his mannerisms made people feel good about him.
Jiang Luo looked at Lu Wu with increasingly strange and suspicious eyes.
He looked at Lu Wu, who was so flawless that he didn't even glance in his direction. He didn't even look in his direction. He didn't seem to have any flaws, but Jiang Luo felt that he was full of suspicions with capital letters.
How it looks like Chi You batch leather.
When Wenren Lian finished his question, Jiang Luo leaned back in his chair and asked with his arms wrapped around his chest, "How's your physical skill?"
Lu Wu said, "Well, that's not bad."
But by the expression on his face, it was clear that this "not bad" was self-effacing.
Jiang Luo didn't say a word, just caught off guard and pushed over the mineral water bottle in front of him.
The bottle of mineral water fell off the edge of the table, and Lu Wu, three paces away, reacted quickly by striding forward and bending over, firmly holding the bottle before it hit the ground. He smiled and straightened up, placing the bottle back on Jiang Luo's table, and said with a sigh of relief, "I almost didn't catch your water."
At such a moment, Wenren Lian and the others all revealed expressions of appreciation. Only Jiang Luo's mouth twitched and his eyes became even more unkind.
But with a leader sitting on his left, Jiang Luo couldn't say anything even if he found something wrong, instead, he had to use a logical reason to eliminate this evil spirit who was bored and playing the role of an interviewer.
His eyes rolled and he asked, "Can you read palms?"
Lu Wu nodded courteously, still modestly, "A little at the meeting."
Jiang Luo, as if he hadn't realized who he was, smiled and held out his own left hand, encouraging, "No need to be modest, come and give it a try."
A weak sweat broke out on Wen Renlian's forehead, and he immediately remembered the evil spirit in Jiang Luo's family who was extremely jealous and exclusive, and who was as dangerous as an untimely time bomb. He hastily pulled out a pair of gloves from the drawer and handed them to Lu Wu, saying, "Put on the gloves before you look."
He was afraid that the evil spirit would murder the poor Lu student after hearing that someone dared to touch Jiang Luo's hand.
Lu Wu said, "I am offended," slowly put on his gloves, and took Jiang Luo's hand. He gently pushed Jiang Luo's sleeve up to his elbow, revealing his thin, white arm.
Lu Wu's movements are slow and methodical, and his speech is like reciting a poem with a unique rhythm, "The limbs correspond to spring, summer, fall and winter in numerology, and the head corresponds to the five elements. The hands and feet should be soft and smooth, and the color should be like white jade, so that you can be a rich and noble person, just like you."
His bony fingers, inch by inch, ran down from Jiang Luo's wrist, rubbing down to the thin, soft belly of his fingers, the gloves smooth, like the crawling of a viper, causing a subtle itch.
"Long and slender fingers mean you are smart and handsome," Lu Wu complimented, "and thin and soft hands mean you are noble and honorable."
After speaking, he bent down and gently sniffed the back of Jiang Luo's hand, far from a touch, "Your hand is warm and fragrant, a standard nobleman's face. Can I take a look at your palm lines?"
He looked serious and detached, as if he was simply looking after Jiang Luo's hands. But what he says and does always reveals a hint of intimacy.
Jiang Luo's face remained unchanged, looking at him with a smile, the tail of his eyes gently narrowed, obviously his eyes were sharp, but it was as if he was deliberately hooking someone into making a mistake, "I can let you look, but can you see through it? There is a person who specializes in phrenology in our team, and he can't even see through my palm lines."
Lu Wu rippled, "Try it and you'll see."
Wen Renlian couldn't help but glance at Qi Ye.
This guy didn't look it at first glance, but now it looks like he's a bit of a wild card.
Lu Wu turned over Jiang Luo's hand and looked at his palm in detail, "There is a golden flower print on your palm, the palm print looks like a golden flower, this is a symbol of wealth and prosperity in your life. You are a man, this means that you can be a vassal and a minister, and have a prosperous career."
The leader called out, "Good," "That's a good sign!"
Jiang Luo's official career is prosperous, does not mean that the Bureau of Scientific Research will do a hot job, the future is very bright!
Lu Wu's fingertips traced this palm line and suddenly laughed again, "If a woman has this palm line on her body, it means she will marry someone of great honor."
Jiang Luo said, "Really."
He drew back his hand, instantly tightened his smile, and said indifferently, "Alright, go back and wait for news."
Lu Wu obediently nodded and left, and once he was gone, Wen Renlian asked, "I think he's okay, what do you think?"
"Can't have it." Jiang Luo said decisively.
This will make even the leader look over in puzzlement and ask, "Why can't we have it?"
Jiang Luo drew out a paper towel and wiped his hands fiercely, his face instantly became angry and irritated, the leader bluffed. Jiang Luo justifiably smeared the evil spirit, "His character is not good, when I read my palm even scratch my palm, all dare to harass the interviewer, must be eliminated!"
