Holding the ringing phone, Hao Ren was very excited. His heart was trembling, his thoughts were trembling, and even his hands were trembling. The vibration of a Nokia phone was indeed extraordinary. Hao Ren believed that if he threw this old phone on the ground with the vibration mode on, it would run at least 20 miles per hour...
Of course, a normal phone call would definitely not be like this. Only when Raven 12345 called, it seemed that the neurotic girl had used some special ability to make a mobile phone as noisy as a tractor. This could ensure that Hao Ren would not miss her call — Lily should be able to hear the sound from across the street.
"Hello?" Hao Ren answered the phone and carefully said hello. He was afraid that Raven 12345 would come up with other ways to scare him.
"Hey, Hao Ren, you're still alive? Have you taken care of your new guest? " Raven 12345's loud voice came from the phone. She was as energetic as a few days ago. "Hey, I made a mistake in my investigation last time. There is not only a werewolf in your house, there should be a Blood Clan... Is she with you? Is she doing well? Is there anything unusual these two days? I was on a business trip a while ago. Let me tell you about the scenery of the Blue Horn Galaxy... "
Raven 12345 poured him a mouthful of beer. Hao Ren was almost stunned by what she said. Fortunately, he reacted in time and interrupted the neurotic woman. "Wait a minute! I have something to ask you! "
"Something? What is it? "Raven 12345 was puzzled." Salary? Then wait a minute. I haven't thought about how to pay you. Oh, you mean this month's salary? It's not even the end of the month... "
"Can you let me speak first?" Hao Ren finally could not help but shout. But as soon as he shouted, he quickly shrunk his neck. This was bad — the "goddess" was obviously not normal. If he dared to shout at her like that, he would probably be struck by lightning in a few seconds.
However, Hao Ren waited for a few seconds but there was no lightning outside. Raven was silent for a few seconds before she said embarrassedly, "Oh, tell me, tell me, I'm a little excited to come back from a business trip, hehehehe..."
Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He did not expect Raven to be so easy to talk to. He then organized his words and said, "Well, you left in a hurry. There are a lot of things that I don't understand. Also, two days ago, I encountered a strange thing. I had a strange dream..."
Hao Ren briefly told her about the nightmare of fantasy eroding reality two days ago. Raven was unusually quiet. It was not until Hao Ren finished that a suspicious snore was heard. "Oh... Slurp... You had a strange dream? Slurp... Then the situation might be a little complicated... Slurp, come over later... Slurp... "
Hao Ren felt that the sound was a little strange. He could not help but ask, "What are you doing there?"
"Eating instant noodles," Raven continued to snore. "I got up early and forgot to eat. I just remembered."
So, the reason why Raven was listening to Hao Ren was to make instant noodles! Also, she usually eats instant noodles?
Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. After confirming that Raven 12345 was still waiting for him at the usual place, he changed his clothes and prepared to go out. Vivian was preparing snacks for Rollie. She looked up and saw Hao Ren's movements. She asked casually, "Going out? To her side? "
Hao Ren nodded. He suddenly remembered that he had something to tell them. "Oh right, I might not be back in the afternoon. If Lily is going home, you guys can eat out or order takeout. The number is on the calendar. It's the only restaurant that can deliver takeout to here."
When Vivian heard the word "Lily", she sniffled unhappily. But before she could say anything, Hao Ren cut her off. "Don't talk nonsense. Your meal is actually paid for by Lily. You're already so poor, don't be so pretentious."
Vivian was speechless. She did not know how this terrifying vampire, who had been on Earth since the age of the cave dwellers, and who had fought with Achilles, had developed such a good temper. Hao Ren had completely figured out Vivian's character. So, he was not as cautious and nervous as he was when he first spoke to her.
After settling the matters at home and reminding Vivian not to forget to feed the cat at noon, Hao Ren left the house and took the bus to the godlike place of work: the Space Administration office in Bastard.
The white bungalow hanging upside down in the sky was the same as it was a few days ago. The servants in the bungalow kept the house clean when the owner was not at home. Hao Ren ran all the way from the Southern Suburbs under the scorching sun. As soon as he arrived at the fountain square in front of the bungalow, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief. While Raven 12345 was not a reliable person, she really had a strange ability. Her big house was located in a strange space. It was neither hot nor cold, and the air was fresh. Hao Ren wanted to stay there and not leave.
"Yo, you're here?" Raven 12345's voice suddenly came from behind. Hao Ren quickly turned his head and saw the strange silver-haired woman carrying a huge and strange-looking machete slowly walking out of the botanical garden in front of the bungalow. Looking at the grass and mud on her body, it seemed that she had just cleaned up her garden.
"I was trimming the landscape trees just now." Raven 12345 lifted the two-meter-long silver machete on her shoulder. She noticed that Hao Ren's eyes were attracted to the machete and smiled proudly. "Awesome, right? This is a commemorative one. Other Ravens don't have one, but mine is the only one. Alright, tell me about your situation. Let's talk inside. "
Hao Ren nodded and followed Raven 12345 into the big house. It was the same office as the last time they met, and the furnishings were still the same. However, the pancake on the shelf behind the desk had been replaced by an empty cup of instant noodles. Hao Ren's eyes could not help but fall on the red and green cup of instant noodles. He was wondering if he should continue to believe in Raven 12345's self-proclaimed identity. Regardless of whether she was a god or not, was it appropriate for a grassroots cadre sent by the highest authority of the multiverse to eat like this?
Raven noticed Hao Ren's gaze and shrugged nonchalantly. "I'm done. There's really no more. They don't serve meals here."
Hao Ren was speechless.
Sighing, Hao Ren sat opposite Raven 12345. He then took out a small box of chewing gum from his pocket and took out the black wolf fur from the box. "This is what I told you. When I woke up from the nightmare, I had this in my hand. Lily sniffed it and confirmed that it doesn't smell like something from a human city. "
Raven 12345 reached out and took the wolf fur. With a snap of her fingers, countless bright blue and white lines appeared out of thin air. These lines merged into a three-dimensional array at a dazzling speed. The black wolf fur floated in the middle of these lines and slowly evaporated into a light gray mist.
Hao Ren looked at this magical scene in amazement. It seemed that Raven 12345 was not only good at bullshitting. Not to mention other things, this was definitely better than Vivian's unreliable Blood Magic. Look at how straight she drew in the air...
"Has it seeped out from that world..." Raven 12345 muttered to herself as she watched the wolf fur slowly "evaporate" until only a little residue was left.
Hao Ren was stunned. "Where did it seep out from?"
"The Plane of Dreams. But it doesn't have much to do with you — at least not now. You can't deal with this kind of problem at your level." Raven 12345 shook her head. She had a rare look of seriousness on her face. "I'll report this situation to the headquarters of the City of Shadows. This world is a notoriously troublesome area. The people in the Authority have been waiting for news for many years."
Seeing the confused look on Hao Ren's face, Raven 12345 took out a small, silver hexagonal thing and threw it at him. "I can tell that you lack common sense. This is for you. It's a personal MDT, a special version for inspectors. I just applied for it for you. You can look up anything from it, including the employee code of conduct, the time-space node route chart, and your authority allocation... Well, you're still in the assessment period, so you won't be able to use most of these things. But it's always good to get in touch with it in advance."
Hao Ren only saw a silver light coming towards his face. Fortunately, he reacted in time and barely managed to catch it. Then he heard what Raven 12345 said. He was suddenly excited. "Finally, I got my labor insurance!"
