    Zhou Jing left the mental hospital with a nervous heart.

    Fortunately, nothing happened throughout the process that worried Zhou Qi.

    Whether it's Zhang Fan or the nurse captain, these two people seem to have never appeared before.

    "Oh, I said don't worry," he said.

    "We may need to consider the Sixth Prince's issue, but if they come knocking on our door, we won't have to be polite."

    "In this era, might makes right!"

    You Shilu has been chatting away beside Zhou Jin like a mother figure.

    "Um."

    Zhou Jin nodded silently.

    Then Zhou Jin touched the accessory on his wrist.

    It was the bracelet that You Shilu had given, the handbell charm from the Qing Dynasty.

    It was only today that Zhou Jing almost forgot the existence of this thing when he saw You Shilu use the Qing Dynasty Handbell Charm.

    Moreover, let's get back to the topic.

    Since she has a Qing Dynasty Handbell Charm in her hand, why isn't it shown in the record of the Heaven's Path Chart?

    Is it because this thing was given to her by someone else?

    Or is it because this thing has not been replicated?

    Remember when Zhou Qi first touched the Qing Dynasty Handbell Charm.

    The Heaven's Path Chart seems to have copied the ability of the Soul-snatching Servant.

    But what this ability is, the Heaven's Path Chart has never explained, and it has never shown the characteristics of this ability.

    It's as if it doesn't exist at all!

    Only until Zhou Qi lay on his own bed did he not understand the ins and outs, so he gave up thinking and fell asleep deeply.

    While You Shilu was specifically granted permission by Zhou Jing to stay in her rented room.

    Before completely overcoming her fear of zombies, Zhou Qi is likely to live through a heart-wrenching cohabitation with You Shilu!

    For the next few days, Zhou Qi went to work at the mental hospital with a worried and nervous attitude.

    Sometimes Zhou Qi met the nurse captain several times, and she quickly lowered her head to greet and then hurried away.

    This once again ignited the nurse captain's anger towards Zhang Fan.

    Just because this guy is bold and reckless, Zhou Qi has a worse impression of them!

    Damn it.

    The only thing that brought Zhou Qi joy during this period was.

    The nurse captain relieved Zhou Qi of the task of supervising Zhang Fan's internship and assigned it to someone else.

    In addition, Zhang Fan's responsible area was moved to other floors, from the root level eliminating the possibility of Zhang Fan encountering Zhou Qi again.

    They lived in peace for several days.

    On this day, Zhou Qi was eating lunch in the sunniest corner of the cafeteria.

    The phone rang.

    "Hey, Xiao Qi Qi, are you forgetting about us? You should come back to work! See you tonight!"

    The caller was Pang Long.

    Without this call, Zhou Qi almost forgot about his part-time job at the Special Affairs Bureau.

    There's no way, the zombie situation occupied all of Zhou Qi's attention.

    Which caused Zhou Qi to be unable to pay attention to anything else.

    In the evening.

    That night, Zhou Qi took You Shilu and arrived at the Special Affairs Bureau by ghost car.

    "What's going on? You don't look very happy."

    Pang Long could immediately tell that Zhou Qi was not in a good state.

    This girl has completely lost the vitality she had during their previous meetings.

    "No way, can you believe this girl is afraid of zombies?"

    "After being threatened by a small zombie in the mental hospital, she's been like this ever since!"

    You Shilu raised his hands beside him in a gesture of disbelief.

    In the past few days, You Shilu has for the first time found Zhou Qi's rebirth as the Yin Emperor to be incredibly annoying.

    He had told her several times that zombies were not scary.

    But this girl just wouldn't believe him.

    Moreover, she always insists on following You Shilu every night.

    This has led to You Shilu's ghost officer performance declining sharply over the past few days, causing You Shilu to be so frustrated that he's about to become a human.

    "What? Afraid of zombies? Hahaha! Hahaha!"

    After understanding the situation, Pang Long immediately burst into laughter.

    Such a fierce man who dared to tear the tiger demon apart, is actually afraid of zombies!

    Who would believe it if you said that!

    "Zombie? It seems that the old zombie can't restrain himself anymore!"

    Pang Long, mocking, heard the sound of Lu Jianian walked out of the office, deeply looked at Zhou Qi a look.

    He now cannot determine Zhou Qi's position.

    Therefore, he cannot determine the authenticity of this matter.

    Was it the old zombie and Zhou Qi who cooperated to act this play?

    Or did the old zombie really intend to take action against Zhou Qi?

    Shaking his head, Lu Jianian gave up exploring this matter, thinking that things without evidence were just a waste of time.

    "This is the case you have been responsible for these days. If you handle it cleanly, then I will apply for a coach on your behalf to the headquarters. A coach who can teach you how to deal with zombies!"

    Lu Jianian handed Zhou Qi a piece of paper.

    But Zhou Qi only heard the last sentence.

    Teach how to deal with zombies?

    "Alright!"

    Zhou Qi answered decisively.

    She can't be moved by zombies anymore.

    If possible, she had to fight for this coach!

    Immediately, everyone came to Lu Jianian's director's office.

    "The target of this mission is also a race of demons. In addition, according to our intelligence, the opponents this time are not on the level of the tiger demon, but are just some small guys."

    "So this time, neither Pang Long nor I will assist you; instead, I have assigned several field agents to you. You will form a temporary team to carry out this mission together."

    While Zhou Qi was looking at the materials, Lu Jianian explained the mission in detail.

    According to the material shows.

    The destination is an underground gambling den operated by the demon race, which usually only welcomes members of the demon race.

    If it were just a matter within the demon race, the Special Affairs Bureau would not interfere with it.

    But the problem is that the manager of the casino didn't know what he was thinking, but he reached out his hand to ordinary people.

    The demon managers of the casino, relying on their demon arts to cheat continuously, have already caused several households to lose all their property and be destroyed.

    This seriously endangers the safety of ordinary people's lives.

    It must be stopped in time.

    Can't I act on my own?"

    Zhou Qi asked, frowning his delicate eyebrows.

    She didn't want to work with others at all.

    After all, she had too many secrets.

    "No way!"

    Lu Jianian formally expressed his refusal.

    "In the Special Affairs Bureau, teamwork is a must. Humans must learn to huddle together for warmth in this world of gods and demons; solitary combat is not advisable at all!"

    Pang Long explained on the side.

    Even if the humans in this world have the protection of the Dao, they are still the weakest existence.

    Even if they become awakened beings, they are not a match for those ancient immortals.

    So unity is particularly important.

    "Fine, then let me ask again. Do I need to execute them directly or capture them and bring them to justice?"

    Seeing that both Lu Jianian and Pang Long were resolute, Zhou Qi had to give up the idea of acting alone and asked instead.

    "Adapt to the situation, if their threat to your lives occurs, allow for immediate killing!"

    "Next, go and get your equipment."

    Lu Jianian waved his hand, and Pang Long immediately led Zhou Qi away.
