The two of them thought about it subconsciously, reacted immediately, turned around together, and reached for their waists.
"This……"
Seeing clearly that a person appeared behind Ye Ming at some point, Zhao Qi and Yue Ruo's fingers froze instantly when they touched the holster lock switch, completely forgetting that they should take out their guns immediately when encountering an emergency.
There were no windows in the room, and the only furniture was a solid bed and a desk. There was no place to hide anyone, not to mention that Yue Ruo and I only had five seconds to turn around. So when did he appear?
How did you get into the house?
Superpowers? Demons and monsters? Ghosts and monsters?
Zhao Qi's mind was in a mess now, with all kinds of outrageous thoughts popping up one after another. Forcing himself to calm down, he stared at the man's trembling eyes and finally calmed down a little.
At this moment, Yue Ruo was no better than Zhao Qi. He put his hand on the holster, his mouth slightly open, staring at the man motionlessly.
If she met this person in ancient costume on the street, she would at most think he was cosplaying and just take a few glances at him.
But just as she and Zhao Qi had left the room, this person suddenly appeared. She could not possibly associate it with role-playing.
The room was completely sealed off. I turned around for about three seconds and heard him talking. What on earth…what on earth was he?
People? Ghosts?
The two people, who had been searching for abnormal things all over the world without success, did not show any excitement when they actually faced the "abnormality".
Instead, I was at a loss and didn't know how to react.
After all, although they were titled as commissioners of the Abnormal Events Investigation Bureau, they had never seen anything abnormal from a distance, let alone facing it at such a close distance as they were now.
Ye Ming was also attracted by the sudden voice behind him. He turned around unconsciously and saw another person in the room. He was stunned on the spot.
Zhao Qiyue had to think about why there was no place to hide someone in the room, and then wondered how this person appeared.
But Ye Ming, who stays in the house every day, knows best that he is alone.
Even Ye Ming, who prided himself on having a big heart, was a little at a loss at this moment, staring blankly at the person in front of him.
The house had only one entrance and exit, the door. After the investigator finished questioning, he turned around to open the door, so it was impossible for him to come in through the door.
that……
How did he get in?
Who or what is he?
The three of them were speechless, their eyes fixed on one place. To be more precise, there were so many questions in their minds that they didn't know what to ask first.
Air condensation will.
Perhaps because he saw that "abnormal" had no intention of hurting anyone, Zhao Qi took a deep breath and pinched the tender flesh on the inside of his thigh.
The piercing pain barely brought him back to consciousness. He quietly pressed the switch of the holster buckle and asked, "This demon, uh... what are you?"
His fingers had already pulled open the cloth cover of the holster and touched the trigger of the gun. He had the weapon in his hand. Although he was not sure whether it could effectively kill, it was better than fighting the "abnormal" with bare hands.
Zhao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and exerted force with his hands, ready to pull out the gun.
The movement was very smooth, but halfway through, the right hand that was pulling out the gun smoothly and swiftly stiffened again.
"To make it easier for you to understand, you can call me the Immortal Cultivator."
Chapter 53 I asked you to investigate abnormal events, not to create them
The three words "immortal cultivator" hit the walls of the room, echoing neither lightly nor heavily.
The air that had just been flowing in the room stagnated again, and it was even more dead silent than before.
As a former fan of Xianxia novels, Zhao Qi was very familiar with the term "immortal cultivator".
When he received the secret admission letter from the Bureau of Special Investigations, he wondered whether there really were immortal cultivators or similar beings in this world.
After working in the Bureau of Special Investigation for nearly ten years, he realized that there were no mysterious things on Blue Star.
Even abnormalities such as mind reading and thought ability that can be explained scientifically do not exist.
If there really is such a thing as cultivating immortals, this concept would have many logical bugs when applied to reality, such as what exactly is the existence of spiritual energy, why it must have a positive impact on people rather than a negative one, etc.
Therefore, when the man in ancient costume in front of him spoke, Zhao Qi subconsciously questioned him.
But how do we explain his bizarre appearance?
I was standing at the door, and he suddenly appeared in the room which was equivalent to a secret room.
Yue Ruo, who was standing beside him, swallowed his saliva to ease the tension caused by the series of shocks: "You said you are a cultivator, how do you prove it?"
The man in ancient costume smiled but didn't answer. He turned his head and looked at Ye Ming, who still had a confused look on his face and obviously hadn't reacted to what was happening in front of him.
After staring for a while, the man sighed: "Fate is indescribable, and destiny is determined by heaven."
"I thought my destined partner had shown up and that this opportunity was already predetermined, but I never thought that it would fall into your hands by accident."
Realizing that these words were directed at him, Ye Ming finally came to his senses.
What he said... that mutated herb is the opportunity?
It originally belonged to my junior fellow apprentice, but because he wanted to help me solve Fu Xiyuan’s trouble, the herbs ended up in my hands.
Then I am not...
Ye Ming was a little afraid to speak because of the man's extraordinary temperament, but he finally gritted his teeth and asked bravely: "Can I give it back to him?
This should have been his.”
"It's not his place. It's not his place." The man chuckled. "Otherwise, what kind of opportunity would it be?"
"but……"
The man waved his hand, interrupting his argument, and looked at Yue Ruo and Zhao Qi: "The time has not come yet, just wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man stopped moving and his figure gradually became dim.
Zhao Qi understood that the man who claimed to be a cultivator was about to leave. He did not care about being amazed at the miraculous scene before him and asked hurriedly, "You said you are a cultivator,
What is a fairy?
Even among humans, there are many different opinions about immortals.
At this moment, Zhao Qi really wanted to know whether the immortal the man was talking about was the natural immortal nurtured by heaven and earth in myths and legends, or the immortal who practiced immortal techniques and ascended from a mortal to an immortal.
"What is an immortal?" The figure of the man in ancient costume did not stop fading, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I am an immortal."
The person disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
Yue Ruo took a few steps forward and grabbed at the air where the man was standing, but caught nothing.
"I am an immortal..." Zhao Qi didn't pay attention to what she was doing. His eyes were blank and he muttered to himself.
"Wake up." Yue Ruo came back empty-handed and patted his shoulder. "Why are you in a daze? What should we do now?"
"Yes, yes." Zhao Qi sobered up and looked at Ye Ming, "Mr. Ye, you... do you really want to continue hiding it?"
Ye Ming lowered his head in deep thought for a long time before he looked up: "I can tell you what the opportunity the cultivator mentioned is, but it has been dealt with."
"What do you mean by dealt with?"
"It was an herb. I burned it before you brought me here."
In fact, it was Lin Miao who burned the herbs. Ye Ming was not sure whether this would cause trouble, so he chose to handle it himself.
When Zhao Qi and Yue Ruo heard the news, they took a deep breath and said in unison: "Burned?!"
Seeing their ferocious expressions, Ye Ming was also a little embarrassed: "I thought it was some kind of protected plant..."
"But I think it doesn't matter. Didn't the immortal cultivator say to just wait?"
The two looked at each other, knowing deep down that the situation was out of their control, and even the entire Abnormal Investigation Bureau might not be able to control it.
They still don't know what the Abnormal Investigation Bureau is made up of. They are all ordinary people without any special powers, and they are all lazy people.
What they are facing now is a cultivator who disappeared out of thin air right before their eyes. Can they handle it?
But it was happening right before their eyes, and there was no way the two of them could handle it.
Subconsciously, they chose the very familiar method of slacking off. When they were undecided, they asked the leader to make the decision - reporting it.
"Mr. Ye, for your safety, you have to stay here for a few days."
Ye Ming was stunned: "Isn't the school still going to deal with the issue of falsifying data in my thesis?"
"How can there be any falsification of paper data? You have already graduated with a doctorate."
"what?"
"In short, don't worry about these things. The Abnormal Investigation Bureau will help you solve them properly."
During this period of contact, Zhao Qi got to know Ye Ming very well. He said that being upright and honest was not enough to praise him. He was also capable and qualified to join the Special Investigation Bureau.
No matter where that immortal cultivator came from, Ye Ming was definitely the one chosen by heaven as he said.
In the future, I will definitely come to see Ye Ming again.
Absorbing him into the Bureau of Special Adjustment would definitely make it much easier to find immortal cultivators who came and went without a trace or to communicate with them.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhao Qi comforted us in a colleague's tone: "We don't mean to put you under house arrest. You can go out at will, but for safety reasons, it's best to keep in touch with us.
We'll send someone to protect you closely.
After all, we don’t know what that immortal cultivator is, and whether he has malicious or good intentions. "
This was a very good reason, and Ye Ming nodded in agreement: "By the way, can you return my phone to me?"
"Of course, I'll get it for you right away."
After saying that, the two walked out of the house side by side, went into the house at the end of the corridor, took out their cell phones and called the director of the Special Investigation Bureau.
After a few beeps, the call was connected.
Without waiting for the other end to ask what happened, Zhao Qi quickly recounted what had just happened.
The director was silent for a while, then said slowly: "The Investigation Bureau will most likely be closed down by the end of the year, and you will become unemployed.
I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry.
I'm not dead yet, are you afraid that you will starve when I'm here? If not, I'll take you to set up a stall on the street."
