Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 79 The Gears of Destiny

In the next half month, Yunlong City underwent tremendous changes.

The number of evil spirits dropped sharply. Under the leadership of the newly appointed King of Evil Spirits, the remaining remnants established their first base in an abandoned construction site.

It is said that this was once the place where warriors fought against demons. Although time has passed, many places still retain traces of the battle, which is enough to show how thrilling that battle was.

The evil spirits learned of the existence of their natural enemies, who called themselves hunters, and were a group of people that existed before the arrival of the aliens.

But in this darkest era, evil also ushered in the savior of evil.

The company has offered a bounty of over 1 billion shells on him, making him the most vicious criminal in history. He and his subordinate, the Red-Eyed Demon, the only heir to the lost Murasaki Hotel, have brought them light.

The internal struggle within Universal Company intensified, and the internal investigation soon reached a dead end.

Everyone seems to be the one who killed Bai Kou, but no one of them seems to be the murderer. The missing "Changzhi" member Xifeng is still missing. They are determined to find this traitor and pry the truth of the accident out of his mouth.

"Tsk, the company has already entered the stage of accusing each other."

In the coffee shop downstairs of the Yunlong City Universal Branch, Fuling held the mourning bird in her left hand and stirred the hot coffee in the cup with her right hand.

Duan Mingyuan sat opposite her and listened to her complaining about the company's troubles.

"The transfer order has come down. I will be returning to the head office tonight. Really, I applied to be transferred to the branch office because I didn't want to get involved in these troubles."

Fuling was unhappy, and returning to heaven seemed to have no appeal to her at all.

Duan Mingyuan comforted her, "Look at the bright side, you're going to get a promotion."

"Factional struggle."

Fuling sighed.

Things like appreciating her abilities and not wanting her to stay in Yunlong City and waste her talents were all just polite words. The real reason was that she was promoted by Bai Kou and was also his student. According to the public opinion created by Bai Kou's group, she was undoubtedly the most suitable successor. It just so happened that if she was promoted to the next level, she would become the head of the entire project team.

However, since she has been in Blue Star for a long time and is not familiar with the internal affairs of the department, after she is promoted to the position, the faction can naturally "help" her to perform her duties as the person in charge.

They have been meeting frequently recently because after she was transferred back to the headquarters, the new director who took over her position still has to rely on Duan Mingyuan's care. She is trying her best to promote cooperation between the two parties. Yunlong City is full of crises. The most wanted criminal in the star zone is still at large in this city, and it seems that he has also recruited all the evil spirits in the city under his command.

After a few interactions, she became familiar with Duan Mingyuan.

Fuling didn't know why she said all this to the other party. She calmed herself down and thought that maybe it was because after being transferred back to the headquarters, she would no longer be able to talk to others casually.

"I can only say this to you."

She suddenly lowered her voice, "The board of directors was very angry, but I'm actually quite glad that the factory was destroyed, otherwise Wangxu would have made a lot of noise. The person who replaced me is a newcomer who was just transferred from the headquarters academy. She can be considered my junior. She has a high degree and has achieved some success in this field, but she is a little...bookish. Please take care of her in the future."

"Row."

Duan Mingyuan nodded. He had a reason to meet Fuling recently. "It's about the 67th batch of goods."

"I will handle it."

Fuling said, "If the promotion goes smoothly, even if I don't want to know, I will have to take over all of the teacher's projects."

"Thanks in advance then."

A message came through Fuling's earphone that her rest time would never exceed a quarter of an hour.

This is just enough time to go downstairs to the cafe and have a cup of coffee.

"There is new work to deal with." "Then let's say goodbye now."

Duan Mingyuan stood up and got Fuling's promise, and the purpose of his trip was achieved.

"Mr. Duan."

Fuling suddenly stopped him and said, "You are right. We should think positively about everything. The next time we meet, I might be the head of the Life Assessment Department."

...............................

"The gears of fate begin to turn once again..."

A crane gracefully landed on the tallest building in the city, its ruby-like pupils overlooking the city's streets, but a cold female voice came out of its mouth.

Yunlong City.

Xianhe silently thought in his heart that the last time he came here was many years ago, "Tang Qianqian, Yang Ping, Jiuyue, and Duan Mingyuan."

She repeated all the names, and after confirming that they were correct, she spread her pair of white wings, leaving a white silhouette in front of the window of the company building.

Her first stop was an old residential area.

Slowly landing in front of the window, the crane examined the layout of the apartment with an evaluating look. Although he had not yet met the owner of this house, he already had a good impression of him.

Everything in the house was tidy and organized. It was obvious that the person cleaned the house regularly. An image of a hard-working and reliable person emerged before her eyes. The information mentioned that the owner of this house was a single man. She once suspected that the apartment would be like a student dormitory with drug residues all over the floor. When she looked under the bed, she could find smelly socks that had grown hair.

Duan Mingyuan.

Although they had never met before, Xianhe had already developed a strong liking for him.

Just as she was lost in thought, there was a sound of a door being pushed open in the apartment, and the footsteps were very light, coming from far away.

The one who came in was a fox demon, who looked to be less than 20 years old, and should be one of the quirky types.

The fox demon walked lightly, with her hands behind her back, trying hard to appear harmless in front of her.

Xianhe remembered the companion monsters mentioned by the dean, and said that in the outside world there existed a group of beings who called themselves hunters. Some of them regarded monsters as partners, while others regarded monsters as slaves. They were a very dangerous group.

Looking at the innocent appearance of the fox demon, Xianhe could imagine that Duan Mingyuan had never treated her violently, which fully proved that the person she was about to deal with was a kind-hearted person who respected demons.

When he thought of this, his evaluation of Duan Mingyuan rose to a higher level.

The window is open.

Xianhe coughed lightly and said politely, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Duan Mingyuan——"

The words stopped abruptly.

The fox demon stretched out his hands to her, and she saw the object in his hands.

It's a net.

It seemed to be too late. When she realized something was wrong, the net had already wrapped around the crane's wings. The irresistible force dragged her into the house and threw her heavily onto the bed.

"White-feathered chicken!"

The fox demon's eyes were about to sparkle, "What a big white-feathered chicken!"
