Chapter 24 Death Notes
Is it so shallow?

Xia Shou was surprised.

He didn't know how he floated up, but the scenery of the shallow sea was obviously much better than that of the deep sea. If he dreamed of this kind of sea every time, he would be happy to sleep a little longer.

After a brief moment of surprise, Xia Shou found that he couldn't breathe.

As he took a breath, big gulps of bitter and salty sea water poured into his mouth. The strong feeling of discomfort made him instinctively want to struggle. Then a graceful figure suddenly swam out from behind the coral reef and came in front of him.

Then, two soft things came up to him, representing the air of life flowing from the mouth of another living being into Xia Shou's lungs. Like some kind of ritual, he suddenly became able to breathe freely in the sea.

Xia Shou calmed down from his shock and saw clearly the creature in front of him.

The other person had a slender and graceful human upper body and a long and beautiful fish tail, exactly like the mermaid described in fairy tales.

The mermaid girl swings her tail and wanders quietly in the sea, her red hair spreading out like silk behind her.

The other party stared at him angrily, his eyes full of doubt.

For some reason, the other person gave him a very familiar feeling, like an old friend who was very close in the past but was forgotten by him.

Xia Shou stared at the other person's face, searching for a similar figure in his memory.

Just as he was thinking, tiny wounds suddenly appeared all over the mermaid's body, and then a large cloud of blood mist spread in the sea water. The blood mist spread like a smoke bomb, more and more, with no sign of stopping...

I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling of the dormitory above my head.

The number on the ruler of my left eye is still over a thousand meters.

"What a strange dream."

Xia Shou supported himself on the bed and sat up. He could recall the beautiful shallow sea scenery in his dream as clearly as a photo, but the appearance of the mermaid had become extremely blurry.

It was already noon and he had slept the entire morning.

There were a lot of text messages on the phone, all of which were work arrangements sent by Shangguan Yan.

Yes... He almost forgot that the price of the mission was to work overtime for a month, and he was already an office worker now.

Xia Shou lifted up the bed sheet, took out the notebook underneath, opened it and took a look. The handwriting on the notebook was still unclear and he couldn't continue turning the pages to read.

Come to think of it, it's only been 24 hours since I traveled through time. It's not a long time at all. It's just that I've experienced a lot.

While Xia Shou was in a daze, a folded piece of clothing was held up by a pair of transparent hands and floated in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Alice who did it.

"Alice, are you awake?"

no response.

It looked like she wasn't awake, she was just doing her duties as a maid.

Xia Shou sighed, got up and dressed obediently, put on his coat with Alice's help, and then a basin of warm water for washing his face was brought out from the bathroom.

The transparent hands wrung out the hot towel and gently wiped his face, while also using a comb to comb his hair that was messed up from sleeping.

Xia Shou didn't know what he was doing. He just felt a slight force being applied to his limbs, guiding his hands and feet to move around, sometimes raising his hands, sometimes raising his feet.

Then the socks, pants and other things were put on automatically, and the putting on process was smoother and more comfortable than if he did it himself, without any hindrance at all.

Five minutes later, he was "forced" to wear his uniform and stand at the door of the dormitory.

"Um...thank you Alice."

Xia Shou didn't know how to describe this feeling.

Although he felt that he would appear useless if he just let the maid do whatever she wanted, the feeling of having his daily affairs arranged for him without having to do anything was not bad.

"Anyway, I have to go to work first."

Although the current sinking speed is still within a safe range, there is no telling when the sinking will accelerate, so he must start looking for the next monster that is suitable for him to devour.

Xia Shou walked out of the dormitory, crossed the museum's campus, walked between employees and ordinary tourists, and finally entered the administrative office area and came to the three department offices he had visited last night.

There were only six workstations in the office of Investigation Department 3, but not even one person was there. He frowned, picked up his phone and read Shangguan Yan's text message again: [There may be no one in the office today. I have cleared your seat, which is right next to me. All the work is done on the computer.]

Xia Shou pushed open the inner compartment and walked into the minister's private office. Sure enough, he saw a desk in the corner. He remembered that when he came yesterday, there was a potted plant in this place.

"Is this some secretarial job assigned to me?"

Apart from secretarial work, Xia Shou really couldn't think of any reason to place his office in the leader's office.

"Forget it, the work still needs to be done. Let's take a look at the next work arrangement."

Xia Shou turned on the computer. On the desktop were two programs: "Work Schedule" and "Banned Objects Query". He held the mouse and hovered between the two for a while, and finally clicked on the latter first.

Before starting his official work, he still wanted to investigate the information about the death notes.

Up to now, he has followed the instructions and arrangements of this notebook, but he knows nothing about this notebook.

Since the previous owner of the notes knew Shangguan Yan, he must have had dealings with the Control Bureau.

Maybe there will be information about this notebook in the Control Bureau's banned items files.

Xia Shou's fingers fell on the keyboard and suddenly stopped.

If you search directly, you may leave browsing traces on the control bureau's network. Although it is natural for an employee to casually check out the weird stories and banned materials he heard from others, it would be best if there is a way to browse without a trace.

Click!

While I was thinking, the office door opened a crack and a familiar voice came from the door.

"Xia Shou?"

Su Weiyu poked her head in from the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xia Shoushi.

"Finally I found you. I didn't see you in the dormitory, so I thought you must have come to work. Sure enough, I found you.

You haven't had lunch yet? Look what I brought you.
Ding ding ding ding ~ Lunch from a five-star hotel! "

Su Weiyu shook the takeaway in her hand, put the lunch box on the table with a proud look on her face and opened it, and the tempting aroma hit her face.

"Australian pure-blooded wagyu beef, Boston lobster. I thought you might not like Western food, so when we passed by a Japanese restaurant, I bought a sushi platter. It was just enough for the two of us!"

Su Weiyu moved a chair over and sat down next to Xia Shou's desk, setting the table.

Looking at the tempting food in front of him, Xia Shou sighed: "Isn't this expensive?"

"I didn't look at the price. I just picked it up. If you want to eat anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you. Or I can cook it myself. Don't look at me like this. I'm an excellent cook!" Su Weiyu gave a thumbs up, her face full of confidence.

"It's great that I can eat these things as much as I want." Xia Shou envied Su Weiyu's special ability.

With his conditions in his previous life, he would have thought twice about even going to the Hedi Lao hotpot restaurant, let alone lobster and beef, but Su Weiyu actually treated these exquisite meals as daily food.

In comparison, Su Weiyu's special ability is so convenient. Not only is she completely free from the constraints of social rules, but she can also enjoy the top services of modern society anytime and anywhere. Just thinking about it makes her feel so cool!
Su Weiyu sat aside, holding a knife and fork. She was not busy eating, but secretly observing Xia Shou's expression. After seeing that Xia Shou was very satisfied with this lunch, she breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that the strategy plan she had made last night was correct.

"By the way, why did you want to join the Control Bureau?" Su Weiyu picked up a piece of lobster and put it on Xia Shou's plate, asking indirectly.

"Well... how should I put it? To survive." Xia Shou picked up the lobster and sighed helplessly, "The specific situation is very complicated. To put it simply, I have to keep hunting monsters to survive."

"Is that so... Then I really have to stay in the Control Bureau." A flash of regret passed through Su Weiyu's eyes.

If Xia Shou was just short of money, then he wouldn't need to continue working at the Control Bureau. She could just go to the safe of any bank and take a few gold bars, and then she could live a carefree life for a while.

She has actually already prepared a global travel strategy. If Xia Shou doesn't have to stay in the Control Bureau, he can travel around the world with her.

Xia Shou picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat. Suddenly he thought of something and looked at Su Weiyu in surprise: "Weiyu."

"Cough cough cough!" Su Wei Yu coughed several times due to choking. She raised her head and stared at Xia Shou in surprise.

She never expected that the other party would call her with such an intimate name.

But soon, Su Weiyu calmed down, hid her smugness, gladly accepted the title, and asked naturally, "What's the matter?"

"Let me ask you, if you looked up information on the Internet, would your browsing traces be noticed by others?" Xia Shou asked.
