Chapter 225 - Must be eliminated!

All thirty-eight members of the six side branches of the Chi family who were imprisoned died violently overnight.

Their tongues had been pulled out, their eyes were bulging out like dead fish eyes, red blood was covering the whites of their eyes, and flies were flying all over them. It was as if they had seen something terrifying, and they all died with horrible faces. No one knows how they died, and no surveillance cameras captured any footage. Officials hastily classified the incident as a metaphysical side event, and decided to speed up the takeover of the metaphysical community.

When the state first started to take action against the occult community, the four remaining houses fell apart.

For to everyone's surprise, the Lian family, a family of witch doctors, and Jokhang Temple, a representative of the Buddhist clan, accepted state control with alacrity.

Zhuo Zhengyu was furious when he found out that Zhuo Zhongqiu had joined the Scientific Research Bureau to help outsiders against him, and he called Zhuo Zhongqiu an ungrateful son and even took a broom and beat her up. He had been displeased with Zhuo Zhongqiu for the past few days, and when he heard the news about the Lian family and Jokhang Temple, he was completely shocked.

Zhuo Zhongqiu took the opportunity to say, "Dad, look at them. The Jokhang Temple and the Lian family are both stronger than our family. They have accepted the control, why are you still resisting?"

Zhuo Zhengyu subconsciously scolded her, "Shut up! I think you just want to piss me off!"

"I'm trying to reason with you," Zhuo Zhongqiu rolled his eyes, "Our family has absorbed so little talent that we can't make a head start in this situation. Let me tell you this, inside information, the students of the twelve universities are about to graduate, aren't they? Half of these 100-odd talents are interested in our department and are waiting to join the Research Bureau as civil servants with great enthusiasm. Even if our family is offering a good deal, can it be better than the state? Can the six families be more famous than the state? Not to mention that it's much easier for them to join the Research Bureau than for ordinary people."

Zhuo Zhongqiu tried to convince her dad, "Who can refuse this offer, dad, if the country gives you a banner or an honorary title, can you refuse?"

Zhuo Zhengyu: "...... I can't."

Although Zhuo Zhengyu is used to the metaphysical community being on its own, he is not unpatriotic.

It is just that patriotism is patriotic, but how can we leave the affairs of the metaphysical community to a small research bureau that has only just been established?

"Who is the leader of your group?" Zhuo Zhengyu asked, annoyed.

" Jiang Luo, you didn't know?"

Zhuo Zhongqiu was utterly helpless, "You don't even know such simple information, what else do you want? I advise you to hurry up and follow in the footsteps of Jokhang Temple and the Lian family and register with the Research Bureau. I really don't know what you're hesitating about, now that there are only four of the six families left, and those who voluntarily defect still get the best treatment. Dad, what are you worried about?"

She counted on her fingers, "The state won't be very strict, our family will still be the same as before, we just need to go through more procedures to get a document. It's like getting a business license for a merchant. In the future, big things like competitions and mid-term and final exams for the twelve universities will not be relevant to us. Other than that it's no different, the state won't stop you from developing, just not beyond a certain point."

Zhuo Zhengyu frowned, "And a license? How can you call that no different."

"This is to better manage the metaphysical community, on the one hand, those who have the ability to give a certificate, so that the people will not be deceived, but also allow you to take orders privately. On the other hand, it is for better investigation and management, in case there are any more lawsuits for human lives, or something like the blood eels, it would be better to find out who is behind it, so there is less chance to hide the dirt," Zhuo Zhongqiu sneered, "In the past half month, you don't know how many dirty things we have investigated, the root of the corruption in the metaphysical community. It's all the white bones of injustice and evil spirits."

If you don't check, you won't know. Zhuo Zhongqiu The more you look at it, the more angry you get, and finally so angry that your hands are shaking.

No wonder there are so many ghosts in Chi You's dream without the occultists. There have been good times for the occult community, just like the time when the country was at war and the occult community was never left out of it. Zhuo Zhongqiu is more than in favour of handing over the current XuanXue community to the state.

She played her last trick, "I'm already in the Research Bureau, look at the four remaining families, who else is in the Research Bureau besides our family?"

Zhuo Zhengyu's spirit was shaken, yes, Zhong Qiu was in the Bureau of Scientific Research, if their family took the initiative to comply, wouldn't it give Zhong Qiu a good impression in front of the leaders?

Zhuo Zhengyu thought about it all night and went to Jokhang Temple early the next morning to talk to the abbot of Jokhang Temple about it. No one knows what they talked about, but that afternoon, he surrendered to the Research Council.

With this, apart from the lingering Xuan Ling Office, the only one left in the world of metaphysics was Tian Shifu, who was as big as a mountain.

Jiang Luo took the initiative to open up the recruitment process to graduates of the twelve universities and industry professionals as the number of things taken over by the Science and Research Council grew and the number of staff began to run short.

The job fair starts at 3pm and the bureau has prepared a special interview room. Each interviewee enters the room one by one to check their strengths and moral values, and Jiang Luo only intends to ask for twenty people for this interview.

Jiang Luo's motto is that the number of people should be fine, not too many. Besides, the Research Bureau has just been set up and needs to be cautious every step of the way, so if there are too many people, in case they recruit someone with bad intentions, it will mess up the good situation.

He is the main interviewer and to his right are Wen Renlian and Qi Ye, one of whom is responsible for observing the character of the interviewee and the other for examining the theoretical knowledge.

On Jiang Luo's left is his superior, as this is the first time that the Bureau of Scientific Research has recruited someone from the metaphysical community, and it is important to have a witness.

The leader was an ordinary man who did not ask Jiang Luo about all his decisions and sat happily watching the action, and after a few rounds of interviews, his thermos went down by half.

Jiang Luo picked up the mineral water and took a sip as well, gently rubbing his brow, "Nothing too good."

Wen Renlian placed the next interviewee's profile in front of him and smiled, "To you now, we're all kids in front of you."

Especially after the big battle with the Fates half a month ago.

For the first time, Wen Renlian realized that even if they tried to help Jiang Luo in his battle with the Fates, even though they did not care about life and death, their lack of strength would only result in them hitting a stone with an egg, and instead of helping, they would become a drag.

After the big battle, everyone was as stimulated as they were, especially Ge Zhu, who locked himself in the training room all day and night just to get further.

Jiang Luo said, "That's not the same."

He stopped complaining and dropped his hand to pick up the information Wen Renlian had given him, quickly going over the interviewees' information.

"Lu Wu, 23 years old, the best-performing graduate of Liyu University ...... is a genius," Jiang Luo raised a slight interest as he nodded, "Call him in. "

A minute later, a handsome young man with a handsome face walked in.

Wen Renlian complimented him softly, "You look good."

Jiang Luo looked up at Lu Wu, who looked up and down with a critical eye, "Not too bad."

The conversation between the two of them was so light and quick that even the leader sitting to Jiang Luo's left didn't hear it, but Lu Wu seemed to be aware of it and looked precisely towards the two of them, meeting both of their gazes with a natural, sassy smile.

He was very young, and was also wearing a more comfortable casual suit for such an occasion, his jacket open to reveal the slim white shirt inside. The way he held his smile was as gentle as a spring breeze.

Jiang Luo's eyelids suddenly fluttered.

He once again looked down at the information in his hand and to his right, Qi Ye began to ask questions about his expertise.

Qi Ye asked one question and Lu Wu answered another. In the first few questions, he didn't get a single one wrong.

There was nothing special about this - after all, the first five questions were just basic theory - but it was Lu's posture when answering the questions that raised eyebrows. He answered without rushing, laughed and quoted from the scriptures with ease. Ask him about "walking in the yin" and he can refer to the Book of the Searching Gods and the Book of Words and Monsters. When he was asked about Taoism, weapon making, talisman drawing and prayers, he also spoke in a logical manner. Qi Ye could not help but ask deeper questions, but Lu Wu's expression never changed, he always had a graceful smile on his face and his mannerisms were very appealing.

Jiang Luo looked at Lu Wu with increasingly odd suspicion.

He looked steadily at Lu Wu, who was flawless, not even glancing in his direction. He didn't look the least bit flawed, but Jiang Luo felt that there was something suspicious all over him.

He looked like Chi You.

When Wen Renlian had finished his question, Jiang Luo leaned back in his chair, put his arms around his chest and asked, "How are your physical skills?"

Lu Wu said, "Not too bad."

But looking at his face, it was obvious that this "not bad" was self-effacing.

Jiang Luo did not say a word, but simply pushed over the mineral water bottle in front of him unawares.

The mineral water bottle fell off the table, and Lu Wu, who was three paces away, reacted quickly by bending forward and grabbing the bottle before it hit the ground. He smiled and straightened up, placing the bottle back on Jiang Luo's table and saying with a sigh of relief, "I almost missed your water."

At this point, Wen Renlian and the others all showed expressions of appreciation. Jiang Luo was the only one whose mouth twitched and whose eyes became even more mischievous.

But with a leader sitting on his left, Jiang Luo couldn't say anything when he realised that something was wrong, instead he had to use a logical reason to get rid of this evil spirit who was so bored to play the interviewer.

His eyes rolled up and he asked, "Can you read palms?"

Lu Wu nodded courteously, still modestly, "I'll be able to do a little."

Jiang Luo, as if he hadn't realised who he was, smiled and held out his left hand in encouragement, "No need to be modest, let's give it a try."

Sweat broke out on Wen Renlian's forehead, and he immediately remembered the jealous, exclusive and dangerous demon in Jiang Luo's house who was like an untimely bomb. He hurriedly pulled out a pair of gloves from the drawer and handed them to Lu Wu, saying, "Put them on before you look."

He was afraid that the evil spirit would kill this poor student Lu after hearing that someone dared to touch Jiang Luo's hand.

Lu Wu said "I'm sorry", slowly put on his gloves and took Jiang Luo's hand in his. He gently pushed Jiang Luo's sleeve up to his elbow, exposing his thin white arm.

Lu Wu moved slowly and methodically, and spoke with a unique rhythm as if he were reciting a poem, "The four limbs correspond to spring, summer, autumn and winter in numerology, while the head corresponds to the five elements. The hands and feet should be soft and smooth, with the colour of white jade, to be the face of a rich and noble person, like you."

He rubs his bony fingers, inch by inch, from Jiang Luo's wrist down to the softness of his fingers, the gloves smooth and causing a subtle itch like the crawl of a viper.

"Long and slender fingers mean you are clever and handsome," Lu Wu complimented, "and thin and soft hands mean you are noble and noble."

When he finished, he bent down and gently sniffed the back of Jiang Luo's hand, far away from a touch, "Your hand is warm and fragrant, a standard nobleman's face. May I see the lines of your palm?"

He looks serious and detached, as if he were simply watching Jiang Luo's hand. But what he says and what he does always reveals a certain amount of intimacy.

Jiang Luo's face remained unchanged as he looked at him with a smile, the end of his eyes narrowed slightly, obviously sharp, but as if he was deliberately trying to seduce someone into making a mistake, "I would let you read it, but can you see through it? We have a man in our team who specialises in phrenology, and he can't even read my palm print."

Lu Wu didn't move a muscle, "Just try it and you'll see."

Wen Renlian and Qi Ye looked at each other.

At first glance, this man didn't look like it, but now he seems a bit crazy.

Lu Wu turned Jiang Luo's hand over and looked carefully at his palm, "You have a golden flower mark on your palm, the pattern of your palm looks like a golden flower, this is a symbol of a lifetime of wealth and prosperity. You are a man, this means that you will be able to be a prime minister and have a prosperous career."

The leader shouted "Yes", "That's a good symbol!"

Jiang Luo's official path is a sign that the Research Bureau will be doing a great job and has a great future!

Lu Wu's fingertips traced this palm mark and suddenly added with a smile, "If a woman has this palm mark on her body, it means that she will marry someone of prominence."

Jiang Luo said, "Is that so."

He drew back his hand, instantly curbed his smile, and said indifferently, "All right, go back and wait for news."

Lu Wu nodded obediently and left, and as soon as he had gone, Wen Renlian asked, "I think he's OK, what do you think?"

"Can't have it." Jiang Luo said decisively.

Even the leader looked over in confusion and asked, "Why can't I have him?"

Jiang Luo took out a tissue and wiped his hands fiercely, his face turned angry and irritated for a moment, making the leader flabbergasted. Jiang Luo justifiably smeared the evil spirit, "He's not a good person, he even tickled my palm when he was reading my palm, he dared to harass the interviewer, he must be eliminated!"

The author has something to say.

The extra is probably about Chi Seconds' job search (bushi)

Chi You: I just want to commute to work with my wife
