Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 12 Qin Nan and Xiao Hui

Qin Nan was in a bad mood today.

This is the seventh time she has asked for leave this month. It is not easy to find a job these days, let alone for someone of her age.

Taking one day off means losing one day's salary. Besides, there are only four days of leave in a month. If you take more than that, you will be deducted. Her salary during the internship was not much to begin with, and her already poor family was even more destitute this month.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock to death. Day after day, I can't even find a stable job. If this continues, I won't be able to pay the rent."

"Hey, don't be angry, Sister Nan. Don't we still have some extra income?"

In a corner where no one was paying attention, the cockatiel spoke in a low voice.

"Extra money? How dare you say that!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but when Qin Nan heard the parrot's words, he instantly got furious.

"How did you trick me in the first place? You said you could maintain peace and save the world, and then you could demand compensation from the victims. But what happened? Last time, I took three days off in a row and finally saved someone, but that guy ended up having a worse life than me. Not only did his wife run away, but he also lost his job!"

"Uh"

"And the time before that, that lady was very kind to me, but her husband got sick and was hospitalized. Not only did I not get paid at all, I even had to pay half a month's salary!"

"."

A look of human embarrassment appeared on the cockatiel's face.

But he quickly reacted and spoke righteously.

"But you gained happiness and gratitude, which is something that no amount of money can buy!"

"Fuck your sister!"

Qin Nan slapped himself on the shoulder. Fortunately, the parrot dodged quickly, otherwise it would have been doomed.

"You can't help me at all, and you just give me PUA every day. If you keep going like this, you won't even be able to afford bird food. I'm telling you, if you can't pay the rent, I'll stew you first."

The grey parrot flew around in the air and landed on Qin Nan's shoulder. He smiled awkwardly. "Don't worry, I've made inquiries this time. He's definitely a wealthy man."

"Are you sure?" Qin Nan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of threat in his eyes.

"I wouldn't dare lie to anyone but you, sister!" The cockatiel flapped its wings, acting like a lackey. "I've done all the research. That person is a senior executive at the group, with an annual salary starting in seven figures."

"Seven figures!?"

Qin Nan's eyes widened, and then he quickly revealed a wicked smile.

"That's more like it. If I can do this job well, I won't have to worry about food and drink in the future, hehehe~"

"Sister Nan, we are here to save people, why are you laughing like a villain?" The parrot muttered weakly, but received a roll of the eyes from Qin Nan in return.

"Stop talking nonsense and explain the situation quickly. Once this is settled, I can calculate how much I should ask for from that wealthy man."

"okay."

The grey parrot leaned closer and whispered.

"That executive is middle-aged and has run out of room for advancement. He chose the wrong side early on, and his subordinates have all been 'optimized'. He recently offended the board of directors and heard he was targeted. He might even face a lawsuit."

"And then he was targeted by the Outer Path Demon?"

"Sister Nan, you know that those outer demons love this kind of negative energy the most. Continuous attacks coupled with long-term pressure will feed them with those negative emotions for several months."

Hearing this, Qin Nan curled his lips. "This is why I don't want to work in a place like this. Even if I earn a lot, it still involves intrigue and scheming every day. Working is like a palace intrigue."

"Oh, right." Qin Nan suddenly changed the subject halfway through her sentence. "Little Grey, have you noticed someone watching us?" "Whenever I go out with you, am I never the coolest guy on the street?"

"That's not what I meant." Qin Nan didn't argue with Xiao Hui, but frowned. "I always feel like someone is watching me, with bad intentions."

"what?"

Hearing this, the gray parrot was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and looked around, his small eyes constantly darting around.

But apart from a few curious glances from passersby, there was nothing noteworthy.

"You must be mistaken, Sister Nan. I didn't feel anything."

After hearing Xiao Hui say this, Qin Nan was silent for a while, then couldn't help but rub his hair. "Am I really too sensitive?"

Before she could figure out what was going on, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from not far away.

Hearing the noise, Qin Nan and Xiao Hui looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.

Soon, I saw a middle-aged man in a suit striding towards the company at the main entrance of the building.

"Sister Nan, it's him!" The parrot couldn't help but speak.

Qin Nan's heart moved, and she was about to take a step forward to approach the other person, but the next moment she stopped, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Hurry up, sister, if you don't go now he will go in."

Qin Nan frowned at Xiao Hui's urging. "Don't make noise. Look into his eyes."

"What happened to your eyes? Huh?!"

Xiao Hui focused his attention on the middle-aged man in confusion. The next second, he saw the black energy flickering slightly in the other's eyes.

"Is that the power of the Outer Path Demon?"

The middle-aged man's hair was combed meticulously. His face looked a little weathered and his cheeks were a little thin, but his mental state was surprisingly good, and his walking posture seemed steady and calm.

Although he looked no different from a normal person, Qin Nan was keenly aware of his eyes that were like a deep pool. She was too familiar with that kind of darkness without any emotion.

Even if it was only for a brief moment, the power was real.

"Damn it, this guy has been possessed by the heretic demon. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Or am I still a step too late?" Xiao Hui looked a little indignant.

Qin Nan's eyes turned completely cold.

This was not the first time she had seen humans possessed by demons. Those monsters created by negative energy liked to possess humans and then use their bodies to kill more people.

However, in general, the possessed humans would start with relatives and friends. This was the first time Qin Nan saw a possessed person walking in the sun.

Xiao Hui was still mumbling, when he suddenly froze for a moment. "Wait a minute, why is this guy coming to the company if he's possessed?"

Qin Nan suddenly thought of something and his expression froze instantly.

"Oops!"

Soon she could no longer sit still, and ran straight towards the main entrance of the building. At the same time, she shook her shoulders and shook Xiao Hui into the air.

"Xiao Hui, you watch him from outside the building and see how many floors he goes up. I'll go after him."

"learn--"

The gray parrot also knew that the situation was urgent, so it spread its wings and immediately took off into the air, flying high into the sky.
