Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 74 Major Achievements and Discoveries

Blah blah blah...

Heavy rain blanketed the streets and alleys of Donghu City.

The road was drenched in rain, and there were few pedestrians.

Snapped……

A corpse fell from an unknown height, crashed onto the road, and turned into a large puddle of flesh.

"well?

"Is this the corpse of a Grand Ninth-Rank Immortal Official from the Cloud-Soaring Path?"
"Why does it look like it's in a similar color scheme to Deputy Director Lei's?"

It was Mr. Lü, who was wearing a loose raincoat, his hands in his pockets, standing by the roadside.

A celestial official's hat appeared above his head, and he reached out and pulled a soul-summoning banner from the void, waving it gently.

While swaying, he muttered incoherently, reciting a song to summon the soul.

"My soul dwells in this broken body... following the banner..."

"My soul longs for my old home... This is a sign..."

"My soul lingers in this desolate grave... Listen to the ringing of the bell..."

"My soul sinks into the cold abyss...to the netherworld..."

In the pouring rain, the soul-summoning banner fluttered in the air, as if waving.

Huff...woo...

A sudden gust of wind scattered the raindrops and rippled the surface of the water.

A figure drifted down from the sky with the wind, shivering and hunching over, and landed lightly in front of Mr. Lü.

When Mr. Lü saw the face of the deceased, he was stunned.

"Lei...Deputy Director Lei?"

……

Above the sea of ​​clouds, a giant black cloud flew hidden.

Wu Yun sat on the sofa with a group of employees, studying the newly seized magical artifact.

At this moment, the thing lost all its spirit and turned into a cold, hard little bronze fish, which was thrown onto the peach wood table.

"嘤嘤嘤?"

The black sable extended its paw and gently poked at the spot.

"Awooooo?"

Diao Yuanyuan stretched out her paw and gently patted it.

This thing... is dead?
Wu Yun lay back on the sofa, recalling the details of what had just happened.

"Actually... just when we killed that... that long-faced man, this little electric eel suddenly lost its sentience and turned into a little bronze fish."

"I suspect this might be the authority of the Thunder Pool Immortal Official."

"The celestial official is dead, his power has fallen into other hands, and he has lost his spirituality."

The minks looked at each other and then understood.

But then the boss sighed.

"Pity.

“We don’t have the list of celestial officials from the Thunder Pool Passage. In our hands, this thing is just a piece of junk and has no use at all.”

Upon hearing this, the way the dozen or so minks looked at the little bronze fish changed.

The appointment of celestial officials is extremely complicated, requiring three things: a roster, an official hat, and celestial artifacts, none of which can be missing.

I've collected a lot of individual celestial official hats and individual celestial artifacts, but they're just gathering dust in the warehouse and are basically useless.

……

Blah blah blah...

The heavy rain was still falling on the long street.

Deputy Director Lei's ghostly figure floated by, his head deformed as if it had been dented by some kind of ball. He was still hunching his shoulders, trembling, and shedding tears.

"Hey? What's wrong?"

Lu Qingchen, standing beside him, leaned on the soul-summoning banner, his face full of confusion.

"Was the ninth-rank immortal official on the Cloud-Soaring Path injured?"

"Just how strong is he?"

Deputy Director Ke Lei couldn't answer any questions. In fact, whenever he heard words like "Biao Yun," he would cry even harder and tremble even more like a leaf.

Lu Qingchen sighed, knowing in his heart that Deputy Director Lei had probably suffered a crushing defeat.

His symptoms indicate a broken Daoist heart.

To put it more professionally, it was the "non-poisonous" part of the three souls and seven spirits that was literally shattered by fright.

"Okay, uh..."

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Deputy Director Lei's spirit raise its head and look at him, its voice muffled and weak.

"Xiao Lü...take me back to the Lingyu Office...please, Director, save me..."

"Quickly...take me back..."

Lu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and almost laughed out of anger.

“He scared me so badly that I lost my sense of decency, yet he still dares to boss me around?”

"He's a ninth-rank official, but I'm not?"

Deputy Director Lei's illusory, distorted face fell into confusion.

When did Xiao Lü from the Ling Tou Ban become a high-ranking official?

Lu Qingchen chuckled and placed the white banner against Deputy Director Lei's forehead. "A ninth-rank ghost messenger can only guide the souls of mortals."

"A ghost messenger of the ninth rank can guide the souls of celestial officials."

"Director, you shouldn't go back to the Spirit Investiture Office. Just come back to my place."

"Although you have lost your power over Lei Chi, you still have two official positions and two sets of authority... I will not look down on you."

"I am a Ninth-Rank Guide to the Underworld."

"Though I have not yet entered the celestial realm, my soul shall follow me on my journey through the underworld."

"Hurry, hurry, as the law dictates..."

"...Imperial Edict!"

At his command, Deputy Director Lei's soul transformed into distorted wisps of green smoke and was absorbed into the banner by Lü Qingchen.

He grinned, put away the white banner, and tucked away the celestial official's hat.

I looked up at the sky again.

"So even a Grand Ninth Grade cultivator like Biao Yun is this powerful?"
"It's definitely better not to stay in East Lake."

Muttering to himself, he put his hands in his pockets, braving the torrential rain, tightened his raincoat, and hurried toward the high-speed rail station.

……

A giant black cloud flew into the sea of ​​dark clouds and circled twice.

It flew into the heavy rain again and circled around.

After observing the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, Wu Yun gained some insights.

Sitting on the sofa, just as I was about to brew a pot of hot tea, the bronze mirror next to me suddenly started flashing images...

The bronze mirror connects to the Sky Rat's field of vision, and the Sky Rat has recently been stationed in the classroom of the Non-Natural Bureau.

"They have new courses?"

The course is becoming less and less valuable, and Wu Yun has become too lazy to attend it in person.

At this moment, while watching Diao Huhu quickly and skillfully brew tea for the boss, he casually glanced at the bronze mirror.

But then, Li Nuanling, Fang Min, and others quickly gathered in the classroom and took their seats.

The figure that appeared on the large projection screen in front of them was none other than Teacher Wu, whom they hadn't seen for several days!

"Ugh?"

Wu Yun slightly cheered up.

Just as he was about to raise his hand, Diao Huhu swiftly handed him the notebook.

As I opened the notebook, a sable hand me a pen with a "whoosh."

Wu Yun took the pen and smiled as he patted the sable's head.

Then I heard that the class had already started.

"...Today, we took a newly developed lightning-avoiding special aircraft to explore the skies above Donghu City and achieved very important results."

"The emergency meeting was held to share the results with everyone."

Wu Yun closed the notebook.

Results?

Isn't this about magic?
"...As everyone knows, there is a spiritual energy pool that appears every day above Donghu City."

"We went up to explore specifically for that pool."

"But today, I discovered something even more important."

Wu Yun saw that Teacher Wu was playing a video.

It was the sheep-faced man controlling the little electric eel, who devoured the lightning bolt that struck from the sky!

Inside the classroom, Li Nuanling and the others had already begun to discuss it.

"Fuck, what is this?"

"He's not afraid of lightning strikes, so he can even eat them?"

"The legendary Immortal Official of Thunder Pool?"

Teacher Wu explained.

"As you may have guessed, this is a Thunder Pool Immortal Official."

"He came to the heavens, intending to ambush the high-ranking celestial official who was passing by on the way."

"Now let's watch the second video."

In the second video, there is a blurry figure of Wu Yun, clutching a small electric eel, the curves of his face illuminated by lightning.

"Is this a high-ranking ninth-grade immortal official from the Soaring Cloud Passage?"

"Lightning doesn't seem to have any effect on him?"

“So handsome!”

"Ugh?"

The classroom was buzzing with discussion, but Wu Yun had already frowned, vaguely guessing what the "major discovery" that Teacher Wu had just mentioned was.

But then Teacher Wu played another video.

It was the sheep-faced man who had been blown in the head by a single blow from the crispy marshmallow.

In the classroom, just as Li Nuanling and the others were about to say something, they heard Teacher Wu explain.

"This is a video of the Thunder Pool Immortal Official being blown in the head by the Cloud-Soaring Immortal Official."

"That's right, the most important thing we discovered today is... that Grand Ninth-Rank Immortal Official of the Soaring Cloud Passage is simply too powerful!"
