Chapter 57 Demanding Debt
Li Yi didn't know much about things between practitioners. After all, he was an ordinary migrant worker a month ago, so when he was unsure about something, he would consult experienced people.
Listening to other people's opinions and guidance can sometimes save you a lot of detours.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Biao on the side immediately said with bright eyes: "Li Yi, you said that an investigator asked you to become a foreign war officer of the Investigation Bureau? This is a good thing, I must agree, this is serious
It’s a great career with high remuneration and many opportunities. The most important thing is that if something happens, the Bureau of Investigation will take care of you.”
"Foreign war personnel have to go on missions frequently, which will affect their practice." Li Yi asked his doubts.
Lin Yue said: "It all depends on how you choose. Joining the Investigation Bureau as a foreign combatant can get some more systematic training. Although you have to go on missions, you will also have a stable source of income. This is better than being a soldier.
A guide is much better. After all, the job of a guide is unstable. The reason why I didn’t take the guide certificate until now is because my practice has slowed down and I need a part-time job. Once we reach this point, we can no longer focus on our practice.
Life is important too.”
"Li Yi, you have noticed that your practice speed has slowed down before. Everyone has encountered this situation. After the progress of practice slows down, we have to focus on other places, so I still hope
You can take this job and become a foreign combatant."
After hearing this, Li Yi finally understood.
A stable job is beneficial to your future life, and after joining the investigation bureau, you can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Although it requires a mission, it is still worth it.
"I have a rare thing. Although my current practice speed is slower than before, my limit has not been reached. I still have a lot of room for improvement. Normally, I should continue to stay at home and practice, but now this
This is a rare opportunity, I should accept this job, as long as I work during the day and practice at night, it will not delay me."
"The most important thing is that I need an identity and a backer now, otherwise I can't do anything if something happens like this time. If I join the investigation bureau, they will be wary even if I offend someone."
Li Yi kept thinking in his mind and finally made a choice.
"Since Uncle Biao and Sister Lin have said so, I will follow your advice and join the Investigation Bureau as a foreign war officer."
Lin Yue smiled and nodded: "That's right. You now have boxing skills and enough strength to be qualified for this job. But you have to remember that if you encounter a dangerous task that you can't handle, don't take it seriously. You should run away.
Run away when the time comes, and refuse the mission when it’s time to refuse it.”
"Is this okay?" Li Yi said in surprise.
Lin Yue rolled her eyes: "You are not an investigator. To put it bluntly, foreign war personnel are former temporary workers. No one will say anything about you after you failed several times. The worst is to resign. Your life is important."
"I understand." Li Yi felt that Sister Lin's words were very reasonable. His own life was still important no matter what.
"By the way, has anything special happened in your family recently? For example, about your mother." Lin Yue suddenly became serious again.
"No, my mother is very good. She is very healthy in the medical cabin. I often say hello to my mother. What's wrong?" Li Yi asked a little puzzled at this moment.
""
Lin Yue didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only say: "You should pay more attention to your mother. If there is anything wrong, tell me."
"Okay." Li Yi smiled and nodded.
Lin Yue was silent again. She didn't know if it was an illusion. As long as Li Yi was involved in fucking issues, something was wrong, as if his cognition was affected by some kind of force. Even though he had hinted so clearly, Li Yi didn't notice it at all.
But she didn't dare to point it out directly, because she hadn't found a way to deal with it yet, and it would be easy to cause serious trouble if she rashly broke this balance.
The few of them chatted for a while.
About an hour later, Uncle Biao still had something to do in his meditation room and couldn't stay long, so he took Lin Yue and left.
Before leaving, Lin Yue asked Li Yi to pay attention to the clothes she brought.
Clothes made of dragon skin are very luxurious, and it would be a big loss if they were lost.
Li Yi naturally understood that this was obtained from Yang Yilong, and it was definitely not cheap.
After sending the two people away, Li Yi told his family about his situation, so that his relatives did not have to worry, and he also thanked them for helping take care of his parents these days.
After dealing with these trivial matters, he rested peacefully.
The next morning, Wang Jian came to visit.
"The sniper rifle issue has been solved. You are such a thief. You hid so far away. No wonder I searched all over the neighborhood and couldn't find it. By the way, how are you considering the foreign war personnel? I have other things to do.
I'm busy, so you have to give me a reply as soon as possible."
Wang Jian was in a hurry and was ready to leave as soon as he arrived.
Li Yi replied: "I agree to become a foreign combatant."
"Okay, very good. You have a good rest these days. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will take you to the Investigation Bureau to register. In addition, you don't have to worry about Kong Sheng. He will be able to go back in two days. I will tell you in advance.
Just a moment." Wang Jian received a satisfactory reply.
"Thank you." Li Yi said.
"We will be colleagues from now on. We need to help each other more. By the way, you can add my contact information first and call me if you need anything." Wang Jian smiled, explained a few words and left in a hurry.
It seems that being an investigator is really busy.
Everything has been safe and sound in the past few days. Li Yi only knows that he is fine, and there is no need to worry about subsequent troubles. Wang Jian can help him deal with it. As for Ning Wu, he has not heard any relevant news and cannot find out, so he simply
Don't think about it anymore, just rest in peace in the hospital to recuperate.
It was on the night of Li Yi's third day in hospital.
Something happened that he ignored.
Li Yi had used Yang Shou to buy coffin mushrooms and clay horses in Ghost Street. Now it was time to collect debts, because the old man who sold him the things said at that time that debt collectors would come to ask for debts in seven days.
Li Yi owed a total of eighty years of Yang Shou's debt.
now.
Inside the ghost street in the dangerous zone.
This place is still the same as before, with ghosts lingering around and evil soldiers and ghosts constantly patrolling. Any living person who accidentally breaks into this place will be mercilessly swallowed up by these terrifying ghosts. Only by mastering special methods and pretending to be dead can one avoid this.
Attacked by ghosts.
It's a pity that people who enter here by mistake don't know this, and by the time they realize something is wrong, it's already too late.
Therefore, the ghost street in the dangerous zone is regarded by many practitioners as a forbidden place of death, and it is an existence that cannot be set foot in anyway.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle that Li Yi can come back from the ghost street alive.
This time.
There is a rather special and strange figure on the ghost street.
It was a strange man with bare feet, a stooped back, wearing tattered clothes and carrying a bamboo basket. He looked more like a ghost from hell than a human being. This ghost wore a hood made of white cloth, and his face could not be seen clearly.
, holding a cane in one hand, and a pale lantern in the other hand, with a twisted black font written on it: Debt.
"The debt collector appears again." Some living people hiding in the ghost streets are no longer surprised by the appearance of such ghosts.
However, this time there was something unusual about the debt collector ghost, and he walked towards another unknown direction on the ghost street.
Walk, walk.
The scene of the ghost street gradually became blurred, and some modern high-rise buildings began to appear around it.
The appearance of the debt collector seemed out of place with the surroundings.
But the debt collector did not stop. It just followed the instructions on the debt note and went to find the creditor.
Li Yi, who is lying in the hospital, is the creditor this time.
that's all.
The debt collector walked slowly in the danger zone with a cane and a lantern.
I thought the debt collection this time would go as smoothly as before.
But halfway through, something weird happened.
The pale lantern in the hands of the debt collector was originally lit with a gloomy will-o'-the-wisp, but at this moment the will-o'-the-wisp suddenly went out, and the lantern also became tattered and tattered, as if it had been eroded by something.
The speed of this kind of erosion is not very fast, but it is like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time you react, it is too late.
The debt collector stopped at this moment.
Because it's not just the lantern that is being eroded, it is also suffering from some kind of erosion. The skin and flesh on the body are being melted, and black smoke is rising all over the body, as if it appears in the sun, and the whole body is being burned.
But it is clearly late at night at this time.
Why is this happening?
The debt collector's intelligence didn't seem to be very high. It didn't quite understand the situation, so it let out a piercing and painful wail, while speeding up its pace and continuing to move in the direction of Li Yi.
But all this is destined to be in vain.
This debt collector couldn't bear the pollution of this world before it even got out of the danger zone, and was completely eroded.
With the last scream of the ghost, the debt collector disappeared completely, leaving only a useless bamboo basket and a broken lantern that had been extinguished long ago.
Obviously, it is very difficult to recover this debt.
As the instigator, Li Yi was still sleeping in the hospital and had no idea what was happening in the danger zone. Even the fact that he owed a large debt to Yangshou was forgotten by him.
