Chapter 232: Friendly Relationship

On the next day, Tianshifu delivered the blood water of the poisonous tail scorpion to the Research Bureau, not too much, not too little, just enough for half a bathtub. Jiang Luo put the blood water in his office and solemnly put Teng Bi's big knife in it.

The long black sword was lying in the blood water, and when one looked closely, one could see that it was slowly absorbing the blood water. Although Jiang Luo didn't say anything, he was relieved to see that the Poison Tail Scorpion's blood water was useful to Teng Bi's residual soul.

Recover quickly, Teng Bi.

He thought silently.

Wake up before New Year's, and have a reunion with us old friends.

After the cooperation between the Tianshi Mansion and the Scientific Research Bureau, the Scientific Research Bureau took over more work, and the twenty newly-recruited colleagues were busy flying around and investigating paranormal incidents all over the world right after they assumed their duties.

In the past two days, another strange incident has been reported near the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which has attracted much attention.

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are rich in fish, and there are many fishermen. But in the past two months, the catch has been getting smaller and smaller, with the number of fish, shrimp and crabs dropping sharply, and even the number of Yangzi crocodiles and baiji dolphins starting to decrease significantly, even attracting the attention of experts.

In addition to the wrong amount of aquatic products, strange things began to happen to some of the fishermen.

This can be found by the police or a coincidence, the local fishing village, there is a family, the wife felt out fishing back to the husband became more and more strange, suspecting that her husband is in the evil, she was false godmother to deceive, spent five thousand dollars to exorcise her husband's evil spirits, but the results are no use, and finally reported to the police directly.

When the police investigated, they accidentally found that this is not the first person who came to the Goddess to exorcise his own family, exorcisms are also fishermen. They felt something was wrong, and when they investigated, they found something odd.

Several of the fishermen who frequented the river have gone missing.

No one knew where the men had gone, and their families assumed that the men had not returned for a long time because they were fishing on the river, not to mention the fact that no one had found their bodies.

The case soon reached Jiang Luo, and because of the importance of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it attracted the same attention from the leaders.

The leader held a special meeting at the Research Bureau, during which Jiang Luo carefully studied the information.

The changes in the fishermen are well documented in the information. There are not only subtle changes in the character of the fishermen, but even more so in their appearance. These people had been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, their skin was rough and pitch-black, and their appearance was older than they actually were. But I don't know when they started, but their appearance became younger and younger, their gray hair decreased, their black hair increased, and each of them returned to their old age as if they were ten or twenty years younger.

But the weird thing is that the fishermen themselves aren't surprised that they've changed.

After Jiang Luo finished reading all the documents, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

The leader's mouth was dry with anxiety, "Jiang Luo, what can you tell?"

Jiang Luo hesitated for a moment, "I doubt it's a blood eel."

The people around the conference table sucked in cold air in unison, "Blood eels?!"

"How could it be a blood eel!"

"These traits are too much like the Blood Eel," Jiang Luo rubbed his brow and whispered, "Do you guys remember what the Blood Eel's female fish fry does? The female fish fry will bring back youth when it enters a human's stomach, and it will also control the human's mind."

Wen Renlian frowned, his head hurting, "But didn't the Blood Eel's leader become Chi You's henchman?"

"Right," Zhuo Zhongqiu was equally incredulous, "And the characteristics of blood eels prove that they are deep-sea fish, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River don't fit their habits, do they?"

Jiang Luo couldn't answer their questions because he didn't know the answers himself.

He was silent for a while, sticking to his judgment, "But all the symptoms of the fishermen on the profile correspond to the characteristics of the blood eel's female fry. Lisa is the leader of the Blood Eels, she is the only Blood Eel that has evolved fully and her survival conditions have long since been beyond the deep sea. Her goal at one time was to land on land and control humans, and more importantly, I haven't seen Lisa around Chi You in a long time."

Jiang Luo lowered his head, his expression shrouded in shadows, unusually cold, "The last place I saw Lisa was still on Dawu Mountain."

Their higher-ups have also heard of Chi You, but they do not know Chi You, nor do they know the relationship between Chi You and Jiang Luo. Their attitude towards this powerful and dangerous evil spirit, who is feared by the Fated People, is to keep their distance, not to mess with it, and to keep each other's water out of the river.

Upon hearing this, the leader asked gruffly, "Could it be that Chi You instructed the Blood Eel leader to do this?"

Jiang Luo shook his head, "It's not him."

It can't be Chi You.

At that time on Da Wu Mountain, Chi You was about to die to save him, Jiang Luo took him to escape alone and did not see Ge Wuchen and Lisa at all. Jiang Luo also knew a little bit about that girl, Lisa probably took advantage of Chi You's injury to run away.

It was because of this that he felt a headache.

Lisa is childlike, but not without shrewd ambition. It's precisely because she's childlike that she's scary; she's newborn and capable of anything. A blood eel can be scarier than a viral infection, and a second later, one more person is in danger of becoming a sustenance or a shell for a blood eel.

The last time we caught Lisa was because we caught her off guard on a cruise ship, but this time it's as difficult as looking for a needle in the Yangtze River.

They met for a full day and no one came up with a suitable and useful solution.

Because of this, the atmosphere of the scientific research bureau is particularly depressing, no one has the mood to play around. At noon the next day, Jiang Luo was looking at the fishermen's data in his office, when the leader hurriedly came in, "Jiang Luo, you go out with me."

Jiang Luo followed him out of the Research Bureau, unsure, "Leader, where are we going?"

"See partners," the leader looked serious, "the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can not be solved by us alone, the necessary time to ask for foreign help."

Jiang Luo raised an eyebrow with a bit of interest, "Who is the partner you are looking for?"

"You'll see when you get there," the leader sighed, a little worried, "It's someone you'd never expect."

Is it Feng Li?

Jiang Luo thought darkly and did not ask further questions.

The meeting was held in an old-fashioned restaurant. As soon as the leader and Jiang Luo entered, the waitress in cheongsam greeted them with a smile and took them to the private room.

The waiter respectfully pushed the door open, "Guests, please come in."

The leader coughed up his throat and walked in, Jiang Luo also packed up his clothes and raised his steps to follow.

Inside the box, water was flowing, and there was enough real peach tree forest to create an indoor landscape, with the words "High Mountains and Flowing Water" written on a half-human high rockery. The faint scent of flowers and tea comes to the surface, Jiang Luo's eyes move from the layout of the box to the table, and his gaze suddenly stops.

The evil spirit was sitting quietly in the host's seat and was looking toward the two of them with an idle smile.

Chi You?

The leader hurriedly walked up and extended his hand, "Mr. Chi, long time no see."

The Evil Ghost raised his hand to shake the leader's hand and said with poise, "To the Research Bureau, I have likewise heard of you for a long time."

After saying that, he looked over to Jiang Luo and smiled leisurely, "Jiang Luo, long time no see."

The leader laughed out loud, "I almost forgot, Mr. Chi and our Research Bureau's Team Leader Jiang are also old acquaintances."

He was not aware of the couple relationship between the two people in front of him. On Jiang Luo's profile, it only showed that Chi You had been Jiang Luo's teaching assistant before his death. He warmly gestured for Jiang Luo to come over and sit down, "I have always heard of Mr. Chi's name, and with your help this time, we will be able to solve the matter of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River as soon as possible."

Jiang Luo convergence of shocked look, sullen face walked over and sat down, looking straight at the tea cup in front of him.

Chi You folded his hands against his chin, listening to the leader's words as if he was serious, smiling slightly or nodding from time to time. After the leader spoke, his gaze moved to Jiang Luo's body and smiled, "Does Mr. Jiang have any thoughts?"

Jiang Luo had already adjusted his emotions, and when he heard Chi You ask, he looked up with a smile, "What made Mr. Chi want to work with our Research Bureau?"

Chi You sighed softly, "The person who caused trouble in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was my subordinate, Lisa. not too long ago, she escaped when I wasn't paying attention, and now that there's been a disturbance, it's only right that I should be the one to step in and resolve it."

"What's more, I'm acquainted with you," he smiled and reached out, picking up the teapot to fill Jiang Luo's tea, "Why do you call me Mr. Chi? I think when I wasn't dead, you called me 'teacher'."

The last two words added a little more ambiguity as he spat them out from the tip of his tongue.

The leader couldn't help but look at Jiang Luo.

Why did he feel a little weird about that statement?

Jiang Luo smiled faintly and politely said, "Mr. Chi is joking, we are in a cooperative relationship now, so it's not good for me to get close to you, it's better to talk about business. What do you want to do with the Blood Eel after we capture her?"

The evil spirit mused for a moment, "I will turn her over to your control after we capture her this time."

The leader was surprised, "Give us control?!"

"Yes, but I also have a condition," the Evil Ghost's eyes narrowed slightly, a nasty light hidden in his dark eyes as he slowly said, "I hope that through this time, I can create a long term relationship of friendship and cooperation with the Research Bureau."
