The next day, in Ai Qing's office.
Behind the desk, the girl rested her chin on her hand and looked at Huai Shi behind the desk. "So, what's with your disguise?"
"It's … a long story …"
Huai Shi said in a muffled voice.
His voice definitely couldn't be clear with the helmet covering his face.
In fact, it wasn't just his face that was covered. He was wrapped in a layer of airtight clothes from head to toe. In addition to the scratch-resistant layer on the surface, there was also a filler layer with liquid latex flowing in the middle and an innermost sealing layer. It was almost a biochemical level protection.
Not an inch of skin was exposed on his body.
He looked like he had seen a ghost.
He was stopped by the police several times on the street. If it weren't for the sign of the Special Affairs Department, he wouldn't have been able to walk to Ai Qing's office.
"It's a long story?" Ai Qing raised her eyebrows. "Then make it short."
Huai Shi hummed and hawed for a long time, not knowing how to explain.
"Uh … I'm sick."
"Yes." Ai Qing nodded expressionlessly. "I can see that."
Huai Shi couldn't speak of his suffering.
In fact, he was really sick.
Even now, as long as he breathed, countless strains of bacteria would spread from his skin and lungs into the air.
Due to the excessive vitality after the advancement, the talent of the Mountain Ghost was activated 24 hours a day. Not only did he plant grass wherever he went, but even the fog of calamity and the newly obtained plague halo were also spreading around with his breathing.
If he didn't care, after sitting in public for ten minutes, not many people would be able to breathe and stand. He didn't even need to be sent to the ICU. If ordinary people encountered the border flu, they would die.
Not only was he responsible for killing people, but he also provided a one-stop service to grow grass on the grave …
Thinking of this, he had a headache.
But there was nothing he could do about it. It shouldn't be said that it wasn't a bad thing. Instead, it was a benefit. Now, it was equivalent to him being energized 24 hours a day.
If he wanted to solve it, he could only work slowly. When he got used to the Mountain Ghost's Holy Mark and digested it, it would be fine.
But it was hard to say how long it would take.
It could take as long as half a month or as short as two days. No one could say for sure.
Therefore, he could only go out like this.
There was no point in keeping the matter of his advancement a secret. Moreover, Ai Qing was his superior, so there was no reason for him to keep it a secret.
He might as well confess.
"I've advanced."
"Hmm?"
Ai Qing was stunned for a moment, as if she was shocked by his speed and honesty. Then, she slowly nodded. "If that's the case, then it explains why you disappeared for half a month."
Other than that, she didn't say anything else and didn't even ask any other questions.
"Mountain Ghost."
Huai Shi added.
"…"
Ai Qing is silent for a long time. She is stunned. "Judging from the name, is it the Divine Mark of the Dongxia Country?"
"Yes."
Huai Shi nodded.
She looked at Huai Shi suspiciously for a long time and asked tentatively, "How's the weather in Southeast Asia?"
"What Southeast Asia? I don't know …"
Huai Shi was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered a certain transgender country. His face under the mask immediately turned green. "I'm a man! Pure! 24K! "
"Pfft."
Ai Qing shook her head regretfully, which made Huai Shi dumbfounded. What are you regretting?! I didn't change my gender, so why are you so upset?!
The office was suddenly filled with a persecuted aura.
Huai Shi couldn't scratch his head through the helmet, so he could only sigh helplessly and try to bring the topic back on track. After coughing twice, he asked seriously, "What's going on? You're going on a business trip again."
"Emergency mobilization."
Ai Qing couldn't help but curl her lips in disdain. She said, "Actually, it's not that urgent, it's just a formality … But in order to be in time for Prince's study, we need to get to Jinling before six o 'clock in the evening.
After we get there … You probably have another mission. "
She showed the notice from Jinling and pushed the wheelchair out from behind the desk. She then asked, "Did you bring everything?"
"If you're talking about the anti-chemical equipment, it's all here."
Huai Shi pointed at the overly large suitcase next to his chair and sighed helplessly.
"Then let's go."
Ai Qing seemed to be suppressing her unhappiness. She said gloomily, "I really hope this trip will be quick."
Outside the window, the helicopter roared and landed in the backyard amidst the hurricane, crushing the carefully taken care of flowers and plants in the garden into a pile of mud.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"When you have a family waiting to drag you down, don't complain about time passing too fast."
Ai Qing went silent for a moment. She looked down at the bulging blue veins on the back of her hand with a gloomy expression.
She said, "I have a bad feeling."
.
.
Three hours later, at four o 'clock in the afternoon.
In the lounge of the Jinling Astronomical Society branch, Huai Shi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Originally, he thought that the Astronomical Society branch would be built in a mysterious area where people rarely went, or that they had to go through some kind of ceremony to enter. He didn't expect this huge office building to be built in the bustling business district of Jinling.
There was an entire building in the old street area where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
The sign of the International Astronomical Society was hanging on the wall. People came and went, and one could go up by elevator. There was nothing special about it.
No, for Huai Shi, he should have come down. He had arrived by helicopter.
Because the branch did not set up workstations for the staff of other departments, Huai Shi could only stay in the huge lounge before he officially went through the registration process.
Although it was called a lounge, it was similar to a bar or a coffee shop.
The environment was elegant, the atmosphere was warm, and more importantly, the drinks were free!
Milk tea, smoothies, alcohol …
All! Of! Of! Of!
Huai Shi wanted to take off his helmet and take advantage of it. He couldn't even drink milk tea with this broken helmet. He could only look at other people.
So angry!
This time, the emergency mobilization of Jinling seemed to be quite urgent. It could be said that most of the southeast staff had already arrived.
At a glance, there were about seventy to eighty people, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other. They sat in groups of three to five chatting while waiting for the transfer orders.
Old Xiao and Yue Jun didn't seem to be here yet. Huai Shi could only sit alone in the corner. He didn't even order a drink. He just stared at the green plants on the table in front of him in a daze.
His strange appearance attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, it was rare to see a fully armed staff in a place like this.
After a lot of people saw Huai Shi's appearance, they began to guess which department Huai Shi was from. He looked like someone from the biochemical defense force, and he had a cold aura.
Huai Shi's heart was bitter.
Through the black mask, he pretended not to notice other people's curious expressions. He quietly swallowed his bitterness and continued to act cool.
Fortunately, someone quickly walked up and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Hello, brother. Let's get to know each other. I'm Chen Yan, a member of the branch."
The person who came up was a young man. Although he had a slightly punk Mohawk hairstyle, when he smiled, it was full of cheerfulness that was not annoying.
He pointed at the seat opposite Huai Shi and asked, "Can I sit here?"
"Feel free."
On the sofa, the sharp helmet slightly nodded. There was a hint of hoarseness in the dull voice. It sounded cold and indifferent.
In fact, Huai Shi was about to die from boredom.
It was so hot!
He wanted to blow on the air conditioner!
Chen Yan was taken aback by the sudden pretentiousness. However, the faint sense of intimidation that Huai Shi exuded made him not doubt the authenticity of her pretentiousness at all. He just treated it as a strange habit of not being used to interacting with others.
It was understandable.
Chen Yan also knew that these special department people had to deal with all kinds of terrifying threats all year round. In order to keep it a secret, they often rarely communicated with others. It wasn't that they were cold.
After a warm smile, he sat down and chatted with Huai Shi. He didn't rashly ask for Huai Shi's name and job. He just chatted. Soon, Huai Shi's reaction convinced him of his judgment.
Soon, the two became familiar with each other. It could be seen that Chen Yan was a warm-hearted person. He also introduced a few friends to sit and chat with them. Huai Shi successfully extricated himself from the awkwardness.
It was better to be lively.
Although the style was still weird, at least it was not as eye-catching as before.
"Oh, since it's your first time in Jinling, you should take a good look around. There are a lot of good places in the branch. After I change shifts, I can show you around."
During the conversation, Chen Yan said enthusiastically to Huai Shi, "A lot of workshops have opened branches here. There are a lot of good products! Even if you don't buy, you can still make a profit by looking! "
"Okay." Huai Shi was also quite interested in this. "Then let's go together."
During the conversation, Huai Shi's movements suddenly paused. He heard the voices of the people sitting next to him.
"Hey, did you guys hear?"
The member named Luo Ming paused for a moment. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Recently, there's a pervert among the members named Huai Shi. He likes to confess to girls who are just over 14 years old."
What the hell?
Huai Shi was stunned.
"More than that!" Chen Yan snorted coldly. "I heard that guy is so daring. He dares to harass minors in front of Mystic Bird. It seems that he is now on the blacklist of the Social Security Bureau. A lot of people from the Social Security Bureau said that they will break his legs if they see him!"
"Really?" The others were in disbelief.
"Breaking his legs is already a light punishment!" Someone's expression became gloomy. "If I catch someone who embarrassed our Astronomy Association, I will definitely beat him to death."
"Yeah, yeah." The rest of the people were filled with righteous indignation. "Count me in."
"Count me in too!"
"Break his legs!"
No way!
Behind the mask, Huai Shi was trembling, and Kitty was crying.
It was just a slip of the tongue. Why is my reputation like a rapist!
"Um … I think …"
Huai Shi mustered up the courage to speak. In an instant, everyone looked over. They were serious and careful. They wanted to listen to the masked boss's opinion.
However, when Huai Shi looked at the murderous faces, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. After a long time, he could only say, "Yeah, so perverted."
Seeing that the indifferent masked boss was angry, the others immediately nodded in agreement and cursed, "What a beast!"
"Scum!"
"Scum!"
"Beast in human clothing!"
"Pigs and dogs!"
I'm not, I'm not …
Behind the mask, Huai Shi had already seen his social death. He just wanted to cover his face and cry.
Why did it become like this? The first time he came to Jinling and the first time he met so many friendly colleagues. These two happy things overlapped …
Just as he was silently crying, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
It was so gentle and polite, but it was as if it came from hell.
"Is Mr. Huai Shi here?"
