"I want to live forever!"
"I am really going to live forever!"
As Zhou Qi and Pang Long walked out of the Equipment Room of the Special Affairs Management Bureau, everyone noticed that Zhou Qi had a smile on her face that could be described as "stuporous," a constant, beaming expression.
No matter how much Zhou Qi and Pang Long called out to her, she remained unmoved, still smiling on her face.
"Um, what's wrong with the older sister?"
Ning Meng tilted her head to look at Pang Long.
Ning Meng, as her name suggests, was an adorable little girl with a petite figure. With two cute buns on top of her head and the perfect heart-pounding wink, she directly dealt a heavy blow to Pang Long's heart.
"I... don't know."
Pang Long stammered out an explanation.
Seeing Ning Meng's smile, he wanted to tell Zhou Qi's secret to her, but the last bit of reason was pulling him back, making him speak incoherently.
"Oh~"
Ning Meng pursed her petite, pink lips, and her round face looked plump and cute.
This instantly made Pang Long's heart twitch with an unbearable itch.
"What are you doing!"
Fortunately, Yu Shi Lu's figure suddenly appeared from the side, with a terrifying entrance that instantly brought Pang Long's reason back.
"Ghostly items!"
In an instant upon seeing the white figure appear in the air, Liang Qing, dressed in a Taoist robe, immediately readied his long sword and assumed a combat stance, pointing his finger as if to guide Yu Shi Lu with a divine gesture.
In the same instant, Wan Shan also raised two round shields and looked at Yu Shi Lu vigilantly.
"Don't be excited. This is a ghost officer, and because of the recent unrest, he will be permanently stationed in our bureau. You should get used to it as soon as possible."
Pang Long did not disclose the relationship between Zhou Qi and Yu Shi Lu, merely stating that Yu Shi Lu was a ghost officer who had come to the office.
"Ghost officer?"
Liang Qing examined Yu Shi Lu carefully, then nodded, and only then did he put his long sword back behind his back.
Seeing Liang Qing's movement, Wan Shan also put down his round shield and returned to his simple and sincere appearance.
"Tsk tsk, you're quite the troublemaker."
Yu Shi Lu paid no attention to the reactions of Liang Qing and Wan Shan. In his eyes, these two young humans were too weak to harm him at all; it was Pang Long who intrigued him a bit.
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Pang Long initially didn't understand what Yu Shi Lu meant, but when he followed Yu Shi Lu's gaze and saw Ning Meng had already hidden behind him, he finally understood.
At this moment, Ning Meng's little face was as pale as death, and she looked utterly frightened, perfectly tapping into Pang Long's protective instincts.
"I..."
Pang Long was about to scold Yu Shi Lu twice, wanting to show his strong boyfriend energy in front of Ning Meng, but before he could say anything, Zhou Qi's voice from behind him said, "Let's go!"
While Yu Shi Lu was intimidating the three, Zhou Qi had already regained her composure.
"People are watching now, it's not appropriate to go crazy. We'll talk about it when we get home!"
I must celebrate my gains tonight.
Suppressing a smile with her lips, Zhou Qi took her strides with an air of elegance, exuding a queenly demeanor.
In the ghost car, Ning Meng sat in the front passenger seat while Liang Qing and Wan Shan sat in the back seat.
"Zhou sister, you're so powerful. You've managed to capture a ghost car!"
From the moment Ning Meng got into the car, she lavished praise on Zhou Qi, fully showcasing her demeanor as a devoted fan.
"Fortunately."
This was the first time Zhou Qi had been so lavishly praised, her fair face flushed with a hint of shyness as she humbly accepted the compliment.
"Commander Zhou, I wonder what kind of equipment you've obtained. Could you please tell us? Also, could Commander Zhou please explain your abilities so that we can think about how to coordinate with you?"
Liang Qing, who sat in the back seat, didn't respond to Ning Meng's praise of Zhou Qi and instead furrowed his brow to ask,
He was about to reach their destination, yet he knew absolutely nothing about Zhou Qi.
On the other hand, Zhou Qi had a thorough understanding of the three of them.
"My abilities? I am a mysterious awakened being. I can transform into a half-human and also use the Necromancy Lock."
Zhou Qi, following the prearranged script with Yu Shi Lu, boldly disclosed her abilities.
"Wow, it's a mysterious type! That's so powerful!"
Ning Meng immediately made a worshipping gesture, her two almond eyes wide open, looking particularly adorable.
"Mysterious type is good! Mysterious type is very powerful!"
Wan Shan, still looking simple and honest, offered his praise as well.
"Can you transform into a half-human? And can you use ghost weapons? What kind of mysterious type is that? Zhou captain, are you sure you're not a disciple of my Daoist tradition?"
Liang Qing expressed confusion over this.
He had never heard of any mysterious type awakening with such peculiar abilities.
On the other hand, in his Daoist family, cultivators can also accomplish these two things through cultivation.
"I'm sorry, I've never been aware of the existence of Daoism."
Zhou Qi shook her head at Liang Qing in the rearview mirror.
Zhou Qi was also just hearing about Daoism tonight.
Liang Qing was about to ask something else when the ghost car stopped in front of a building.
"All right, we've arrived. Keep your guards up."
Zhou Qi had never experienced teaming up to fight monsters before. During her previous team-ups with Lu Jia Nan and Pang Long, she had just been a minor character or even stepped in herself, without any real coordination.
So even when they arrived at their destination, she didn't know how to allocate the three of them, so she just let them each play their own role.
On the other hand, Ning Meng and the others clearly had previous experience working together.
Wan Shan was the first to get out of the car, leading the way.
Ning Meng followed closely behind, matching his steps.
Liang Qing, with his long sword on his back, acted as the rear guard, on high alert.
"Well, shouldn't we not directly charge in? Can't your weapons be put away?"
Watching the trio seemingly form an array, Zhou Qi felt at ease and spoke up.
"Indeed, there may still be ordinary people inside. It's better to put away the weapons temporarily to avoid causing panic!"
Liang Qing, who seemed to be the captain of their small team, opened his mouth, and Ning Meng and Wan Shan respectively hid their own equipment.
Zhou Qi was not curious about Ning Meng and Wan Shan, but she was curious about Liang Qing.
With such a long sword, she was very curious to see how Liang Qing would manage to hide it.
In the end, Zhou Qi was greatly disappointed.
The long and attractive sword turned out to be a folding one!
Liang Qing folded the long sword into the size of a fruit knife in just a few swift movements and casually placed it on his back.
Just like that?
Sword refinement?
Zhou Qi managed to suppress her urge to make a sarcastic remark, shook her head, and went into the underground casino first.
The casino was located underground in a building, and after walking through three twenty-step staircases, a dilapidated iron door appeared before the four of them.
Zhou Qi, without hesitation, pushed the door open.
Swoosh!
Almost at the same time as Zhou Qi pushed open the door, two large axes fell onto Zhou Qi's neck.
If Zhou Qi moved forward even a slight bit, the axes would definitely spare no mercy.
"Who are you?"
A rough and sturdy male voice came from Zhou Qi's left.
With the dim light of the underground ceiling, Zhou Qi saw a man with a face full of scars. He was holding two large axes and looked fierce as he stared at her, clearly ready to chop her if she gave the wrong answer.
