Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 168 I carved it myself?
The scenic area's manager and security captain stood guard over the shattered stones, preparing to call the police, both looking dejected.

“Our scenic area was already going to be shut down, and then this happened.”

This scenic area was never particularly special or popular to begin with. Even before the heavy rain, there weren't many visitors, and after the rain, almost no one came at all.

The leaders of Donghu City have cut many institutions and units, but perhaps because this scenic area is too small and too remote, or perhaps because there are too few people in the scenic area... In any case, they have not paid attention to cutting this place, and have continued to pay the salaries of the person in charge of the scenic area, the security team, etc.

The person in charge of the scenic area, who is also the director of the management committee, heard a few days ago that the scenic area management committee was on the list of the latest batch of agencies to be laid off, and he is already inquiring about which factory he will be able to work in after that.

He took out his phone, about to dial the non-natural bureau's number.

Suddenly, I heard the security captain rambling on.

"This shape does resemble that White Cloud Lancer."

The director of the management committee paused for a moment, then put down his phone.

"Like... the White Cloud Lancers?"

He shone his flashlight, looking left and right.

Looking at the outline of this rock, it really does resemble a person holding a long spear and riding on clouds.

He stared at it for a long time, frowning and pondering for a long time.

"Old Liu, do you want to change jobs? Or do you want to continue working at the scenic area?"

Security captain Lao Liu rolled his eyes.

"Of course I want to keep doing this."

Here he's the security captain, but elsewhere he'd just be a security guard.

The director of the management committee pondered for a moment.

"Then...do you know a stonemason?"

……

The morning was sunny in Donghu City.

A giant black cloud drifted across the sky.

Some of the dozen or so minks were tending to the immortal peach tree inside, some were maintaining the spirit-gathering array on the surface, and some were keeping the boss company, serving him tea and water, and watching TV with him.

The television was still showing the current situation in Yunan.

"...Due to the continuous severe sandstorm, the cities of Kim Trung, Loc Thuy, and Binh Khon in Nguyen Province are now completely without water and electricity. The disaster has caused some old natural gas pipelines to rupture, triggering multiple fires..."

Wu Yun held a newly refined Fish Qi Pill in his hand and saw on the TV screen that the streets and alleys were engulfed in a vast sea of ​​flying yellow sand, and some old residential areas were burning with raging fires, even accompanied by violent explosions!
"natural gas?

"This is a natural gas pipeline that was exposed outside the wall and was damaged by the sandstorm?"

He never imagined such a disaster could happen!
"...The evacuation of residents from the three cities is proceeding in an orderly manner. The military has urgently mobilized 3,200 special rescue vehicles and opened 48 emergency access routes..."

Residents of the three cities to be relocated?

The news article contained only six words.

In reality, these three prefecture-level cities together have tens of millions of people!

Three thousand two hundred special rescue vehicles may sound like a lot, but in reality, they are not enough to handle tens of millions of people.

Wu Yun watched for a while longer and, sure enough, saw that the authorities were continuing to send more troops.

"This is weird, where did such a big sandstorm come from?"

"What kind of trouble is the Immortal Realm causing now?"

……

"Which great immortal is trying to cause trouble this time?"

In Song Xiaowei's office at the Ling Tou Office.

He watched the news broadcast on his computer screen and was quite surprised to see the massive sandstorm in Yunan.

Fang Qi, Lü Qingchen, and others standing nearby also looked surprised.

After watching for a while, the three of them turned off the computer, sat down, and continued their work.

Song Xiaowei lay on the chair.

"Um... I received a notification from the Supreme Being."

"From now on, all the spiritual energy collected in the temple must be sent to them."

Taishang Xingxing?

Fang Qi had heard the Fang family mention this word before, and was slightly surprised at this moment.

"Has the supreme attainment also entered the human realm?"

Song Xiaowei nodded. "The spiritual energy gathered from the temple is not much to begin with."

“You and Zhao Guancai are rivals. From now on, store this portion of spiritual energy separately and give it to me.”

“I personally liaised with the Supreme Being.”

Lu Qingchen sat beside him, frowning.

"Spiritual energy collected from the temple?"

Song Xiaowei explained.

"They said it was some kind of temple spirit."

"Perhaps it's different from other spiritual energies?"
"That doesn't matter."

"We lowly ninth-rank celestial officials don't need to study the types of spiritual energy."

"Just give it to them."

After finishing their business, Song Xiaowei turned on his computer to check on the disaster situation in Yunan Province.

He watched it while grinning from ear to ear.

“Hey hey hey.

"That's terrible."

"The influence of the celestial realm on the mortal realm is becoming more and more extensive and profound."

"Sooner or later, the immortal lords will descend."

"At that time, people like us brothers who have always served the immortal lords will be able to continue to serve as immortal officials, even high-ranking immortal officials!"

……

Rescue efforts in Yuna are still in full swing.

Almost everyone in the country is concerned about this.

The online trending topics, the news on TV, and the topics people talk about during their leisure time... all refer to the rescue efforts in Yunaan!

The four mink—Blackie, Whitey, Pengpeng, and Songsong—wearing black cloud-patterned cloaks and carrying various tools, quickly traversed the streets in the night. They also spotted a rescue convoy speeding out of the city and heading towards the highway, seemingly heading to rescue Yu Nan.

The mink also cares about these things...

But that's not the mink's job.

The four of them raced all the way, leaving the city, entering the suburbs, and then arriving in the mountains.

Just as they were about to continue crawling inside, they suddenly realized something was wrong.

brush……

Mink Blackie took the lead in braking, extending its claws to stop its brothers.

When I came here last night, it was pitch black and there wasn't a soul in sight for miles around!

There was indeed a gate, but it was so dirty that even the mink thought it was abandoned.

Why were the lights on when I came today?

The sign at the entrance prominently displays the seven illuminated characters "Donghu City Forest Park"!
The parking lot outside the gate was full of cars and vehicles of all sizes.

Pedestrians and tourists come and go in an endless stream.

Diao Pengpeng and Diao Songsong didn't come last night, so they don't know what happened.

Blackie and Whitey came here last night, and now it feels like the place is haunted!
The two minks frowned, becoming more alert.

After explaining the situation to Diao Pengpeng and Diao Songsong, the four ferrets cautiously followed the crowd into the forest park.

However, in the vast forest park, the scenic gardens, forest trails, flower fields and meadows... did not interest the pedestrians.

Everyone gathered in the small square not far from the park entrance, forming a dense crowd that was impossible to move.

In the very center of the small square, where artificial rocks were originally placed, a huge stone sculpture has now been erected.

Below the stone sculpture, the security captain held a microphone and made a solemn vow.

"Last night, I heard a noise and went out to see what was going on. In an instant, the artificial rockery was turned into a statue!"

"This must have been carved by the Celestial Official himself. Ordinary people couldn't carve it that fast, really, in a flash!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion and chatter.

Outside the crowd, Blackie, Whitey, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on here?

Did you sculpt the lancer statue yourself?
It’s evil!
