From the time travel, I became extraordinary

The sun sets and before we know it, it is already past seven in the evening.

After hanging out outside for a whole day, Jiang Yao returned to his residence around dusk.

"How's work going these past two days?"

"It's OK. Most of the work is done by the subordinates in the department. When the documents are sent to me, I usually just sign them. Compared with when I was a model, this job is not as free now, but at least there are no messy things."

"It's good that you can adapt. You just joined China Star Group as the artist manager. Brother Xiang Shi will definitely not be able to take care of you all the time."

"In your free time, ask your subordinates for advice. Try to learn how to handle the various tasks within the department. Don't rely too much on others."

"Yes, I know, Brother Yao. I have learned a lot during these few days at work."

……

It has been a while since Kiki came back from work.

Jiang Yao and his friend had just finished dinner. The two of them sat on the sofa, watching TV and chatting casually.

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling..." The doorbell suddenly rang at an inopportune time.

"Why are there always some unknown people coming to my door and disturbing my peace?" Jiang Yao frowned, looking unhappy and snorted.

"When I lived here alone, no ghosts came to visit me."

"People come to visit every now and then, which shows that you, Brother Yao, have great reputation!"

"Okay, stop looking so grumpy. Just sit down. I'll go open the door."

Covering her little mouth, Kiki chuckled.

Apart from Xiang Shige and his son and Lin Zixian, there were always people coming to the door almost every night for more than a week.

At the beginning, Jiang Yao was friendly and polite to those who came to visit him, but in the next few days, he had a stern face and was obviously a little impatient.

Compared with him, Qiqi was full of energy and enthusiasm. Her attitude formed a sharp contrast with Jiang Yao's.

The reason for this is very simple, because the people who came to her door were basically big shots whom she could only look up to and had no contact with before.

According to Kiki, this is the connection!
Even if Jiang Yao leaves her in the future, with these connections she has made, any little bit of money that slips through his fingers will be enough to make her life in Hong Kong extremely comfortable.

After listening to her explanation, Jiang Yao could only let it go.

After all, he knew very well that he could leave the real world at any time and disappear without a trace. He could not give Qiqi what she wanted, and there was no possibility of any result between the two of them.

The door opened, and a man in his thirties, wearing glasses and looking gentle, walked in with a briefcase, accompanying Zhu Mingxu and following closely behind Qiqi.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"

……

When they walked into the living room, they saw Jiang Yao leaning lazily on the sofa. Both of them smiled and greeted him respectfully.

"When you called me this afternoon, Xiao Zhu, you were still in Kyoto."

"Only a few hours have passed, and you have already come to Hong Kong and appeared in front of me."

"In the news these days, I only saw someone in Haizhu City, Guangdong Province, who was taking revenge on society by driving a car and killing dozens of people!"

"This shouldn't be something that makes you so anxious!"

"And this one is..."

After looking Zhu Mingxu up and down, Jiang Yao curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

His eyes turned and fell on the man with glasses next to him.

This face looked extremely unfamiliar. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the first time he saw this person.

He was already a little unhappy with Zhu Mingxu, and when he saw him bringing such a stranger to his place, he felt obviously even more unhappy.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"My last name is Liu, and I'm a reporter for the Xinhua Daily's Xiangjiang branch."

"Zhu Bu hasn't been to Hong Kong for many years and is not very familiar with this place. I came here just to help lead the way."

"Now that I have found the place and met you, Mr. Jiang, I have things to do, so I will leave first and not disturb you any more!"

……

Anyone with a little knowledge will definitely know what kind of organization Xinhua News Agency is.

The man with glasses who calls himself reporter Liu seems to be very good at observing people's words and expressions.

Seeing that Jiang Yao seemed a little displeased with him, he smiled, greeted him, then turned and walked towards the door.

Qiqi led him into the living room, looked at reporter Liu who had already walked to the door, and then looked at Jiang Yao who was sitting on the sofa.

Seeing that he didn't say anything and had no intention of stopping reporter Liu from leaving, Qiqi finally chose to remain silent.

Without saying a word, she sent reporter Liu to the door and closed the door.

"You flew all the way from Kyoto to Hong Kong. Isn't it urgent? Xiao Zhu?"

"You've come to my place and seen me in person, why are you suddenly silent and can't speak?"

"If you continue to behave like this, don't blame me for not giving face to those people above me and kicking you out directly!"

With a sullen face, Jiang Yao's eyes were as sharp as knives, falling directly on Zhu Mingxu.

Since he was very unhappy with this guy, he was definitely not polite in his words, and the words that came out of his mouth were also very harsh to the ear.

"Mr. Jiang, what I am telling you involves certain state secrets..." Zhu Mingxu responded reluctantly.

While speaking, his eyes kept glancing towards Qiqi.

Although he didn't finish his words, his actions clearly showed his meaning.

"Qiqi, help me go downstairs and buy a pack of cigarettes." Jiang Yao frowned and hesitated for a moment. He looked at Qiqi and gave an order with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Yao!" Kiki nodded and stood up and walked towards the door.

She may not be well-educated, but she is certainly not stupid.

Although she didn't know the specific identity of Zhu Mingxu in front of her, she could definitely associate something with the reporter Liu whose identity had just been revealed.

Before following Jiang Yao, Qiqi was just an ordinary person.

When she heard Zhu Mingxu talking about something involving state secrets, she naturally knew that she was not qualified to know certain things. At this moment, she was no longer suitable to stay here.

After she walked out of the door, she closed the door behind her and soon disappeared. On the sofa, Jiang Yao took his time to light a cigarette. He didn't turn his gaze to Zhu Mingxu until he finished the cigarette. "Okay, there are no outsiders here now."

"Don't keep hiding it. If you have something to say, just say it directly!"

"As for whether I am willing to help, it depends on whether what you say is valuable and whether it can arouse my interest!"

……

With one leg crossed, Jiang Yao pointed to the seat next to him and called out to Zhu Mingxu, who was standing still and looked a little reserved.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Mingxu took his briefcase and sat down on the sofa.

His expression was somewhat complicated. He looked at Jiang Yao and after a long sigh, he finally spoke: "Mr. Jiang, you must have heard of Kunlun Mountain, which is known as the ancestor of all mountains and the origin of the world's dragon veins."

"The dragon shadow incident in 21, the dragon eating people incident in 06, and all kinds of abnormal rumors about Kunlun Mountain have been circulating on the Internet."

"Although there are always many experts who come out to refute the rumors after each incident, they are all used to deceive ordinary people in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic."

"Although the higher-ups have been denying the existence of some things over the years, we all know that many of the things rumored are not false."

"In my position, I can already access some secrets that ordinary people cannot. From what I know, the supernatural events that have occurred in the Kunlun Mountains are far more numerous than those circulated on the Internet."

"For this reason, we designated that area as a restricted area many years ago and have deployed heavy troops to garrison there all year round."

"This time, an infantry regiment of more than 1,500 people was almost wiped out, and there were less than ten people who survived by chance."

"After the incident, I was the first to rush to the scene. The land was already stained with blood, but we didn't see a single body of the fallen soldiers."

"If I'm not mistaken, those corpses were dragged back to their lair by those monsters, and they were probably used as food?"

……

At this point, Zhu Mingxu's face was filled with sorrow. He stopped talking and sighed several times.

Jiang Yao, who was standing next to him, after hearing what Zhu Mingxu said, originally seemed a little nonchalant and didn't take what Zhu Mingxu said to heart, but now his brows were visibly furrowed.

Frowning, he thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Zhu, your strength in the Refining Zang Realm should not be bad in this world."

"Monster lair, have you ever checked inside?"

"What kind of monsters are they? Have you ever fought against them?"

Just from what Zhu Mingxu said, there were too few clues and Jiang Yao couldn't make any sense of it.

At this moment, he obviously wanted to see if he could get more useful information from Zhu Mingxu.

"It was a monster that looked like a praying mantis, with a red and black body and arms like knives."

"This monster has been seen in the Kunlun Mountains since 1962."

"You can actually find some rumors about this on the Internet, but most people just treat the Mantis Man as a fantasy."

"Back then, the authorities actually shot and killed several Mantis Men, and preserved their bodies for research."

"Unfortunately, during that special period, demons and monsters were not allowed to exist. The body of the Mantis Man that was originally stored in a research institute was completely burned to ashes during the turmoil."

"The monster that slaughtered our entire regiment this time was exactly the kind of mantis man that was recorded back then."

"However, the Mantis Man that appeared this time is much stronger than before. Ordinary guns can't break through the armor on their bodies and cause fatal damage to them."

"In addition, they move as fast as the wind. Once such a monster gets close to you, no matter how many troops you have, they will be completely useless and will eventually be wiped out."

"According to the analysis of the expert team, this kind of monster, with its red and black body that resembles a praying mantis, is very likely to have been transformed from the body of an ordinary person."

"The Mantis people that appeared in 1962 have just completed their transformation and are still in their infancy. After experiencing killing and bathing in enough blood, they will be able to grow quickly."

"Of course, that's just a little bit of what the expert group analyzed. Without sufficient evidence, no one can guarantee whether their speculation is true."

"Besides, I have never fought against those monsters, so I don't know how strong they are."

"After all, the monster's lair is in the Death Valley. According to our understanding, the magnetic field in that valley is chaotic. No matter whether it is a human or an animal, once they enter it, they will never come back and will disappear without a trace."

"When I arrived at the killing scene, the monsters had already retreated back into the valley. With my limited strength, I lacked the courage to rashly go in. The higher-ups would definitely not allow this."

"I really have no choice but to come to you for help, Mr. Jiang!"

……

Glancing at Jiang Yao's expression out of the corner of his eye, Zhu Mingxu's voice became noticeably softer as he spoke.

"You weren't allowed to go in, so you came to me and asked me to let you in?"

"Your life is precious, but my life is worthless?"

"If it weren't for what you said, which really aroused my curiosity, I would have wanted to kick you back to Kyoto with your whole family." Jiang Yao glared at Zhu Mingxu fiercely, looking unhappy and snorted.

Although he had long known that in the country, the lives of ordinary people were indeed not as valuable as those of bureaucrats, he had only heard about it from others before, but now he was facing it personally.

There must be some essential differences between the two.

Seeing Jiang Yao being so arrogant to him, Zhu Mingxu lowered his head and said nothing.

Jiang Yao finally stopped cursing after he had done so. He took a deep breath and spoke again: "The expert group has reviewed some information and has a terrible guess."

"According to them, it is recorded in the opening chapter of Tianping Yaoshu that Kunlun Mountain is the location of the Taoist temple of the Queen Mother of the West."

"That Queen Mother of the West has a human head and a snake body, and is tens of thousands of miles long. She commands thousands of demons. Under her command is a little demon called Green Sword God, who is the patrol god of Kunlun Mountain."

"In the book, the Green Sword God looks like the mantis monster. Not exactly the same, but definitely very similar."

"If the experts' speculation is true..."

Having said that, Zhu Mingxu sighed and finally stopped talking.

If that kind of mantis monster is really the Green Sword God, and they are just the lowest-ranking demons under the command of the Queen Mother of the West, they can be so powerful. How terrifying would those legendary big demons be?
Just thinking about it is enough to make people feel a little chilly.

"Some of the legendary existences may be true, but some may not really exist."

"Even the Queen Mother of the West has come out. After hearing what you said, I have become interested in the Death Valley of Kunlun Mountain."

"I would like to see if there are really some legendary terrifying beings hidden in this world."

……

Jiang Yao curled his lips and smiled gently.

Although he lived a decent life in Hong Kong, that was only because he couldn't practice and he needed to find some fun to pass the time.

Compared with the delicious food and beautiful women, the things Zhu Mingxu talked about were obviously more attractive to him. (End of this chapter)
