Mythology Returns! Starting with Folklore and Strange Tales

Chapter 97 Blood Yazi, the Obedient Xie Zhi

With a series of quick moves, Zhang Wei successfully put the two elderly people and his mother on the bus back to Longcheng. As the person involved, he also had to make an extra trip to explain the large-scale operation and other reasons.

This is where the advantage of bringing along a group of people becomes apparent.

For some questions that Zhang Wei found difficult to answer, the seasoned veterans would use their expertise to help him find the answers.

However, while the two elderly people are old and their minds are confused, making them easy to fool, the deep bond between mother and child is not so easily deceived.

Although Mom smiled and agreed the whole way, her tight grip on Zhang Wei's hand betrayed her inner turmoil...

After a long day of running around, I also had to demonstrate some table manners.

The meal was very pleasant, after all, everyone present was a seasoned veteran who knew what to do and when, and there was no forced drinking; everything was done in a proper manner at this table.

After seeing off the kind people who had accompanied him through all that trouble, Zhang Wei, who had instantly sobered up from his hazy drunkenness, went back to his hometown in the mountains that very night. He waited until the sun came out and finished the seventh-day memorial service before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Finally, on the way out of the village.

Looking through the rearview mirror at the rapidly receding mountains, the village archway left behind by the car, and the barren fields on either side, he gradually emerged from his heavy thoughts and let out a long breath. He then took out his phone, which had been sealed away for a day: "Hello, Brother Zhang?"

"I estimate I'll be back at the station this afternoon. How have you been resting these past two days?"

"It's all good. The indicators have all been changed to suitable ones, and I've learned some new things. How about you rest for the night, or..."

"Take a look at suitable tasks first, and we'll set off when I get back!" Yesterday's refreshed feeling had long been washed away by the heaviness of this morning's ceremony, and the slight fatigue was nothing compared to Zhang Wei's burning desire to improve.

Slaying demons and monsters, punishing the wicked and eliminating evil, fulfilling his duty as an inspector.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"

After hanging up the phone, An Yixi began browsing worldly tasks on his personal terminal, adding tasks that restricted formal patrols and team-up keywords to his shortlist.

The joy of youth.

Unbeknownst to them, the taskbar on their personal terminal was connected to the processor in the archives.

Of course, normal operations are only run in the background by intelligent assignment without human review, but adding the task to the candidate interface means that the inspection is basically in a semi-acceptance state for the task, and there will be a dedicated human review to process it.

Of course, those who are eligible to apply meet the basic eligibility requirements.

The scope of manual review is limited to checking for the latest developments in the current task and providing them with basic tools, such as vehicles for going out.

The person who received the task initially thought so too.

It wasn't until he saw An Yixi and Zhang Wei's names listed as the quest giver that he exclaimed, "Holy crap, Xue Yazi and Guai Xiezhi really accepted a new quest!"

Blood Yazi, and a wicked Xie Zhi.

These are two new nicknames circulating in Taihang Weather. The former comes from the "Evil Rat" silhouette, where the corpse rats threatened and discussed something, which was overheard by the patrolmen at the time and the nickname stuck. As for An Yixi, who was traveling with them, although her performance was not as outstanding, her operation of bringing the little mushroom into the silhouette as a newcomer was not much more normal than Zhang Wei's.

As teammates, the former bears the name of Bloodthirsty Yazi, and the latter naturally has to bear the name of a mythical beast as well.

As it happens, An Yixi is cute but excessively righteous and hates evil. His eccentric attitude has earned him the nickname "Good Xie Zhi".

These two, one righteous yet wicked, the other an oddball, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause when they get together.

As soon as the manual review began, colleagues gathered around.

"Really? Let me see!"

"Oh dear, the second day is almost over, and I thought everything was fine, but why did it have to happen now of all times!"

"Oh no! The [Evil Rat] has collapsed and is falling! I've been working overtime for two days straight, and I was finally looking forward to my day off the day after tomorrow. Why did this have to happen now?!"

'

'

The eerie howling and wailing coming from the work hall quickly caught the boss's attention.

After figuring out the situation, the file manager, whose head was now covered with only a few stubborn strands of hair, chuckled and said, "Young people are just too impatient. It's such a small thing, why make such a fuss!"

"Just look at the tasks they've been given. These two guys are after those tough, old ones. Can't you take the initiative, use your brains to modify the data, and give them the ones that require complex analysis and dissection?"

By tomorrow night at the latest, Zhang Wei's recorder should be repaired. These brain-teasing, convoluted things are still beyond the young man's grasp for the time being. If he can't finish the task, he can just hand over the recorder and happily send it to the cinematographer as a way to save face.

We can't just bomb the silhouette every time we go, can we?

Even if we take another step back, there will always be a difference in the flow of time between the silhouette and the mundane world. If we send these two little darlings there, they will at least have a few peaceful days, won't they?

Of course, there's no need to explicitly state the following sentences.

To put it bluntly, while they are working hard to improve themselves, they are also protecting their living environment. They may complain about being tired, but they should never complain!

The reason he came up with this idea was because the logistics department had been working overtime a lot these past two days. The silhouette of the "Evil Rat" collapsed, and the time it would have taken to fall into the mundane world was shortened to the present moment.

The terrain changes caused by the collision with the silhouette, the severe drought inside the silhouette, the remaining thunderstorms and the Yellow River, etc., all need to be dealt with. Although this trouble is not enough to leave the entire Taihang Mountains helpless, in an emergency, it is always unavoidable for the relevant logistics to work overtime for a couple more days.

Amidst all the bad news, the only good news was that the Yellow River in the silhouette of the "evil rat" was evaporated by a thunderstorm. Although it was later restored, less than one-tenth of the evil spirits remained. This meant that the Yellow River in the silhouette did not pose a greater risk after merging with the Yellow River in the mortal world.

Otherwise, another large number of demons will fall into the mortal world, and the busyness of that time will have a different meaning than the busyness of now.

Slaying demons and monsters sounds easy, but which demon or monster that has been eliminated has no blood on its hands?

Perhaps it's innocent civilians, or perhaps it's public security, investigation, or even the patrol officers.

We're all human, and we all complain about danger and exhaustion. These people are the ones who use the gentlest methods to dispel those emotions, ensuring everyone's hearts remain united...

Often, people get stuck in a rut because they lack clear guidance.

With guidance from her boss and the help of two colleagues, a brand-new task list was quickly updated in An Yixi's backend.

Unaware of what was happening, An Yixi browsed through the pages, her eyes suddenly flashing.
