Picked up the devil, but very traditional

"Boss? What's going on?"

Du Jie in front of him was covered in water, with algae hanging on his clothes, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Uh haha, the fish was so strong that I was accidentally pulled down." Du Jie didn't care and answered easily, then said:

"It's so late, Gu En, you should go home first, I'll clean up."

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the shop. It was the sound of Meilu coming down the stairs. Du Jie turned around and saw Gu En was a little surprised, but he still explained:

"Boss, she's my cousin. It's almost summer vacation and she's here to play. I'll let her stay upstairs to read comics."

The reason for the surprise was simple. Gu En and Meilu had agreed that she would not appear in front of outsiders unless there was an emergency.

Because she has no identity!

Once you do something strange and are discovered by the Administration, it will only take a little investigation to expose your true identity, and you will be doomed.

That's why Gu En asked her to try not to appear in front of others to avoid trouble, but why did she come down now?

Wait, could it be...

Gu En fixed his gaze on the boss in front of him. To be honest, it felt weird that he called him by his full name just now.

Blanch!

Should I say unlucky or lucky?

Du Jie was still saying that it was okay and that she was always welcome to read comics, and he also asked Meilu to take a few comic books home and read them slowly.

Gu En looked at Meilu and confirmed his guess from her eyes.

My heartbeat quickened, but I tried to stay calm and said in a normal tone:

"boss."

"Anything else? Gu En."

"I just received a bottle today, take a look."

“No question…!”

Black mist emerged and wrapped "Du Jie" into the bottle. Gu En widened his eyes, stared at the bottle, and slowly backed away, fearing that he would jump out of the bottle.

Melu on the stairs smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. It's not as strong as the alien spirit we saw last time."

Gu En did not relax. He waited until the breathing light on the bottle stopped before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this also a strange spirit?"

"Is that so?" Meilu walked downstairs and skillfully took a lollipop off the cabinet and bit into it. "It's similar to what I saw last time."

Gu En's eyes gradually widened. The alien spirit really refreshed his cognition again and again.

The red ghost I saw the night before yesterday was very lethal, smart, deceptive, and knew how to take advantage of human weaknesses.

I thought such strange spirits were scary enough, but I didn’t expect to see a strange spirit disguised as a human today!

To be honest, if Meilu hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

The alien spirit's tone, expression and explanation for being soaked all over were perfect. Even though there was something wrong with the name, Gu En himself didn't care too much. He just felt it was a bit strange.

It's impossible to say he's a fake just because he calls himself by his full name.

Gu En took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. There were more important things to do now.

I greeted him first: "Hello, what's your name?"

A resentful voice came from the bottle: "Don't try to get close to me! If I tell you, will you let me go?"

"Yes!" Gu En said in a very serious tone:

"I swear, as long as you answer all my questions truthfully, I will let you go. If you break your oath, let me go to hell immediately!"

Melu on the side nodded approvingly. As expected, Gu En had a talent for being a devil.

It is true that a contract cannot be violated, but traps can be set between the lines!

There was no sound in the bottle, and Gu En added: "You can try to trust me. Besides, you didn't hurt me, and there is no conflict between us for the time being, right?"

There was silence for a few more seconds before a sound came from the bottle.

"What do you want to know?"

At this time, the alien spirits had already guessed that Gu En was not from the Administration, and they would not speak to the alien spirits in that tone.

"Boss Du, that human who looks exactly like you, is he going to live or die?"

"He's still alive."

The alien spirit did not hesitate, as if it knew that this was its only means of survival. Any oath was bullshit. If it was really useful, they would have died long ago.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure!" The alien spirit quickly explained, "That human can't die yet. If he dies, I will turn back into my original form, so I'm sure he's not dead. As long as you let me go, I'll let him go."

Gu En was silent for a moment, then continued to ask, "Why do you want to pretend to be a human? What's the benefit?"

"Because..." The alien spirit's tone suddenly became excited, and his expression became ferocious:

"I want to be resurrected! I want to be reborn! I want to become a human!"

"As long as the ritual succeeds, I can live again and retain all my abilities as a spirit. Then, I can become the best of the best! Money, beauty, power! All mine!"

"Hahaha!"

Chapter 13 Welcome to Lotus Township

The strange spirit in the bottle calls itself water color because it can blend into the water and cannot be captured by the naked eye.

With this ability, it often steals money from fishermen at the lakeside and hangs all kinds of debris on fish hooks. Watching humans' funny expressions is one of its few pleasures.

Shuise likes money, and secondly, beautiful women. He is deeply addicted to these two things and cannot extricate himself.

It once dragged a beautiful woman into the water and wanted to love her forever.

But unfortunately, in just a few hours, she was no longer beautiful.

After that, Shuise seldom dragged beauties into the water again. He basically did it on the shore and then went back into the water.

Until one day, someone from the administration conducted a sting operation and almost killed it.

However, at this moment, a man appeared out of nowhere, rescued it, and said that he could help it revive as a human and enjoy endless wealth and glory.

Under the temptation of money and beauty, Shuise was unable to think and agreed immediately.

So, today's story came about.

After hearing this, Gu En's expression remained unchanged, but he was somewhat horrified inside.

Can alien spirits be resurrected by killing people?

If this were really possible, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Turning to look at Merlu, she didn't care about what was happening here at all, her attention was still on the comics.

"Mr. Meilu, please say something."

Meilu flipped through the book slowly: "What are you talking about?"

“Can alien spirits really be resurrected?”

"Hehe~ I just taught you not long ago, and now you're giving me all the knowledge points back, right?" Meilu glanced at him:

"I told you, don't believe their lies."

"Resurrection is a super-level magic that requires a specific ritual to assist. The conditions for its use are extremely harsh. It's not that easy."

"Uh…"

Hearing her disdainful tone, Gu En felt much more comfortable and almost suspected that he had some special fetish.

"So you mean it's lying?"

"Perhaps, it could be that it was deceived. After all... it doesn't look very smart. It might be out of its mind."

"... "

In other words, the alien spirit couldn't hear her, otherwise it would have been anxious.

Gu En cut off the conversation and told Meilu not to rush to convert it into magic power but to wait a while.

There must be some falsehood in the words of the strange spirit, but there is also some truth. It is estimated that Boss Du is not dead and is still somewhere in Lianhua Township.

As for the question of whether to save him or not, Gu En didn't think about it for too long. He would definitely save him, but... he would just do his best.

With Merlu around, one can sense the presence of alien spirits in advance, and judge the strength of the spirits by the size of the magic feedback.

Moreover, Melu has accumulated enough magic power to cast a cognitive barrier. If the enemy is too strong, Gu En will definitely turn around and run without any hesitation.

If the enemy is not strong, the Demon Sealing Bottle can be used to catch him directly, so bring Boss Du back.

Gu En told Meilu about his idea. She didn't have any objection, but she was very dissatisfied with the idea of ​​escaping.

She said it should be retreat instead of running away, big demons never run away.

Gu En didn't argue with her about this issue. He packed up his things, turned off the power and closed the door, then took a taxi to Lianhua Township.

Nothing happened during the period. The only problem was that Meilu really wanted to take a ride.

She had never seen anything like this and really wanted to experience it.

Gu En didn't give in. He took some time to convince her and promised that he would take her to experience it once in the future.

It can be considered as signing another contract.

……

Lianhua Township is not far from the city, but it is not close either. It is definitely a bit tiring to ride a bicycle, so it takes more than half an hour to get there by taxi.

It was almost dark, and the sun was no longer visible in the sky at nearly six o'clock.

In Lianhua Township, every household turned on the lights, smoke rose slowly, and old men wearing straw hats and carrying farm tools hurried home from the fields, their faces full of fatigue.
