Hunting God Era

Chapter 155 The Canal Gang
June.

Li Ye made a rare trip home.

Since the last Lunar New Year, he has stopped hiding and his family has reduced their control over him to a minimum.

After all, their son not only practices martial arts but is also a young official, so he naturally has his own set of principles for handling things. Ordinary people like them shouldn't cause trouble.

However, with the college entrance exam approaching, it's still necessary to ask the questions.

During dinner, Li Haihua, the father, asked, "Xiaoye, I heard that this year's entrance exam is a joint exam for eight provinces, which is a very large-scale event. Which school are you planning to apply to?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxia, the mother, also looked at Li Ye.

In the past, their expectations for Li Ye were simply to attend a martial arts university and then find a good job.

However, this expectation underwent a complete upheaval within a year, becoming something they could hardly comprehend.

Li Ye took a sip of soup and said nonchalantly, "I'm going to the university. I'm planning to go to the capital."

These words brought smiles to their faces.

"Top martial arts is good, top martial arts is good."

Li Haihua laughed and said, "No matter what achievements you make, a degree is essential. If something happens in the future, a degree is a foundation for you to make a living and can help you make a comeback."

"go with!"

Liu Qingxia rolled her eyes. "You jinx! What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaoye will definitely be safe and sound."

Li Ye just smiled and didn't say anything.

There is no such thing as peace for martial artists; all so-called peace is relative.

If they are safe, then lower-level martial artists will not be safe; if lower-level martial artists are not safe, then ordinary people will not be safe.

In this world where demons and monsters coexist, everyone faces risks.

After finishing his meal and chatting with his parents for a while, he grabbed his clothes and went to the police station.

"Director Li."

"Good evening, Director Li."

Upon arriving at the disinfection station, a disinfection worker greeted him in the lobby.

After nodding, Li Ye went up to the third floor and asked Zhong Chang, who had been transferred there, to give him the latest documents.

Things have calmed down recently. Jinze City has replenished its manpower, and Ningjiang City has also been able to replenish its manpower.

Ningjiang City has three districts and eight counties. Each area is divided into a brigade, which is further divided into three squads: one to carry out tasks, one to provide assistance, and one to stand by and take turns resting.

A total of 110 people have been filled.

This was also thanks to Li Ye's own reputation. The people who came from other places to join the company were also spreading the word, letting others know that the disinfection bureau of this small city was particularly powerful, and all those who applied for transfers through connections were transferred.

It's okay, that's fine too. Just leave the report, and they'll come over regardless of whether they agree or not.

A department that's willing to let people resign is bound to have a very flexible bottom line. Besides, they didn't do anything wrong; they just went to the same unit in another place. Even if there's any investigation, the report will be sent to Jianghuai Province.

The Jianghuai province was directly sunk.

Why should someone who dug it up by their own skill have to pay back?
The authorities were initially worried about how to fill the vacancy in Kanazawa City, but they didn't have to worry about it at all; the person just showed up.

Unfortunately, they only chose Ningjiang and Jinze cities, and refused to work in any other cities unless Li Ye was also appointed as the director of the disinfection bureau in another city.
In addition, due to strong protests from other friendly units, Ningjiang and Jinze were the only options left to fill the gaps. After that, a new batch of people were recruited for Yangcheng, and no more were accepted.

Otherwise, the Ningjiang City Disinfection Bureau might have to be even larger.

"Director Li, here are the documents you requested."

Not long after, Zhong Chang knocked on the door of the third-floor office and handed up a stack of documents. Li Ye flipped through them, pursed his lips, and said, "Why did you bring up documents from Jinze City? I'm just temporarily managing them. If there are any documents, they should be issued from Jinze. Are you managing them as well?"

Zhong Chang scratched his head sheepishly, "It's mainly because the newly hired staff aren't familiar with the business yet, so I'm still handling their work. Don't worry, it won't affect my work at all."

Li Ye sighed slightly, said nothing, and waved for Zhong Chang to leave.

He understood the man's thinking. He had grown attached to Kanazawa after staying there for so long and was afraid that the man would simply abandon him. So, he took over the Kanazawa City Archives Department as well, which was a way of putting him under unified control.

They have a whole host of little schemes up their sleeves.

As for whether this matter is compliant or not, it is definitely not compliant.

But the pest control department doesn't have any rules anyway, so they just let him do whatever he wants, as long as he can handle it.

Li Ye was looking at the disinfection software on his phone while referring to the documents to see if there were any monsters that he should pay attention to.

The demons in the city are still mostly minor ones; there are no reports of major demons appearing, nor is there any noteworthy Locust God Cult.
He had also investigated Yangcheng, but apart from Tian Daoli, whom he had killed, who had given rise to some clues, there were no other leads at all; they were hidden too deeply.

There wasn't a single demon that could be called a 'god'.

"There are still differences."

Thinking of the Demon Realm he had encountered recently, Li Ye shook his head: "Demons and the Demon Realm seem to be related, but they are clearly different. Demons are independent entities, and their grievances are more about human resentment. The Demon Realm is more like the grievances of heaven and earth, a natural phenomenon. Yuan Chu doesn't know about it yet."

He had experienced many demon realms and knew that some demon realms, once they appeared, could even show the unification of different dynasties at different times.

The Demon Realm emerged because similar events had occurred at different points in time, accumulating resentment, which then demonized the entire land and spilled over into reality.

No, demons are not. Demons have coexisted with humans since ancient times. Although the monsters in the Demon Realm are also called demons, they are more like demons produced by training points. They may seem corrupted, but once the corruption is removed, they are just ordinary monsters.

The demons among humans are even more bizarre.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

Li Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Reality is a huge demonic realm."

"A very insightful judgment."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound came from the doorway. Li Ye looked over and saw the door being pushed open, revealing two people.

A man dressed in a long robe, with a monocle clipped to one eye, looked neither fish nor fowl, yet resembled an ancient accountant.

Another man, dressed in shorts with his shirt open and a fur coat casually draped over his shoulders, looked like a modern-day bandit or a dockworker carrying bags.

Li Ye's eyes narrowed, and a serious look appeared in his eyes.

Very strong!

"You two have trespassed here without permission, haven't you?" Li Ye said calmly, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword at his waist.

"Does the Six Doors still follow the rules?"

The man dressed as a bandit laborer sneered, "From ancient times to the present, have you ever followed any rules?"

"There's no Six Doors here. The Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years. This is the Elimination Bureau," Li Ye said.

"Lord Li, we are not here to discuss this with you."

The man in the long robe cupped his hands and said, "We know that you and Tian Zhixing have a grudge, and we are willing to help you reconcile. After all, no one wants to offend a young talent like you."

"There are some conditions, though. Even a young prodigy needs time to grow. No matter how much protection reality can offer you, you will eventually have to go to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Why don't you take a look and find a place you can trust that can help you?"

"We, the Canal Gang, cordially invite you to join us."
