Chapter 59 Another Invitation
Chapter 59 Another Invitation
Jingle Bell
The school bell rang,
Back in his office, Bai Yuzhe sent Bai Youqing a text message asking if she wanted to have dinner together, but she declined.
In the past, Bai Youqing, the big eater, would never have refused this free meal.
However, after becoming a magical girl, she was rarely seen eating and drinking for free anymore, which aroused Peng Liang's suspicion.
I thought he had somehow offended this feisty girl.
Since Bai Youqing refused,
Helpless, Bai Yuze sent the prepared weekly magical girl quiz questions to the group chat and tagged everyone to prevent these magical girl juniors from wandering around outside.
Violet: "I have something to do today. Print out the test papers, finish them, and hand them in to me tomorrow."
Bai Youqing: "Received"
Xia Qing: "Okay"
Han Xue: "Okay."
The night breeze is tranquil, and it feels wonderfully comfortable and captivating on your face.
As Bai Yuze walked out of the school, he looked around. Most of the students had already gone home, and there were still police officers in blue uniforms on duty along both sides of the road.
He had received similar treatment in his previous life when he was in junior high school, but the two had completely different meanings. The former was to protect students from being attacked by monsters, while the latter was to protect students from being bullied by the scum in the school.
Since the disaster that occurred at the Silver Lake Barbecue, many people have been afraid to go out at night.
A while later, a black Volkswagen Magotan drove up and stopped by the roadside. The voice carried a hint of resentment: "Our relationship has cooled down. Now I have to beg you three or four times to get you to come out for some skewers."
Bai Yuze ignored him, opened the passenger door and got in. "Stop barking, I came right after work, didn't I?"
After get off work, Peng Liang did not wear his uniform, but instead wore a black T-shirt. He looked very strong and had a unique and reassuring aura that made people around him feel safe.
If it weren't for the recent unpleasant nighttime conditions, he would be surrounded by plenty of beautiful women.
What would you like to eat?
"Whatever, I'm fine with whatever I eat."
Peng Liang opened the "Moral Abuse Map" app and randomly browsed through the nearby restaurants. "Let's go eat dog meat then. I remember that place has really good dog meat!"
While reversing, Peng Liang glanced at Bai Yuzhe and said, "Why do you seem so much more relaxed and cheerful lately? You used to always have a droopy face and look depressed. I was afraid you might do something rash."
"Get lost, you bald guy. You haven't been torn to pieces by Xiaolu and the others yet, so why would I suddenly have a mental breakdown?" Bai Yuze said irritably.
Upon entering the dog meat restaurant, neither of them drank alcohol. Peng Liang did so because he had to drive later, while Bai Yuze disliked drinking and generally avoided alcohol unless it was for business dinners.
At the dinner table, the two didn't talk about any national affairs; it was all just boasting and joking.
Peng Liang couldn't have simply invited him out for dinner.
Bai Yuzhe didn't mention it, but was curious about what the other party was really up to.
After dinner, Peng Liang said he would take Bai Yuzhe for a drive in the suburbs of Yeqiu City. On the highway, only a few streetlights were still flashing, and the nearby residential buildings were pitch black, with almost no one around.
The car sped through the night, and Bai Yuze opened the window a crack, quietly watching the tranquil world outside.
"I've got something good to show you." Peng Liang mysteriously took out a small rectangular box.
"For me?" Bai Yuze took it and grinned.
"Dream on."
Bai Yuze opened the box, revealing a jet-black fountain pen engraved with gold patterns, which looked extremely precious.
"Tch, it's just a fountain pen, what's the big deal?"
"This is no ordinary fountain pen."
Hearing this, Bai Yuzhe became curious and took the pen from the other person's hand, looking at it from left to right and disassembling and reassembling it several times.
It can be confirmed that this is just an ordinary fountain pen, not the memory eraser from Men in Black.
His face showed disappointment and disgust.
"Tch, I really thought you guys had developed the memory eraser from the movies."
"You don't know anything. This was a gift from my boss a few days ago because he thought I was important to him."
Peng Liang reached out and snatched it from Bai Yuzhe's hand with a hint of annoyance, then carefully put it into the box.
"Wow, you're about to make it big, congratulations! I don't have much to give you, so consider this limited edition lighter that's been with me for years as my gift."
Bai Yuze reluctantly placed the bright green plastic lighter on the car's guardrail.
Peng Liang glanced at it and immediately said angrily, "This is just a two-yuan lighter, and it's even out of fuel. Brother Bai, you really deserve to die."
"I'll make it up to you later, whatever you think the dog barked about."
"Just so you know, I don't want anything that isn't a soft cigarette."
"You're dreaming! You want more than just a little bit of cheap cigarettes? We'll give you a pack of Liqun cigarettes, that's already a good deal."
"That won't do. It has to be at least one pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, otherwise our friendship is over." Peng Liang quickly shook his head and emphasized again and again.
"You little rascal, you really can't stand to suffer the slightest loss."
"It's all thanks to Brother Bai's excellent education over the past few years."
As he spoke, Peng Liang took out a box of Liqun cigarettes and handed it over generously.
"I listened to you last time and quit. What's up with calling me out today? You seem to have something on your mind but aren't saying it." Bai Yuze yawned and went straight to the point.
What are your thoughts on magical girls?
"Open your phone and watch it on jm-niang," Bai Yuze joked.
Peng Liang was slightly taken aback, then reached out and slapped Bai Yuze, grinning mischievously, "Who's talking to you about that? I'm talking about the Arbitrator."
This time, Bai Yuze ignored him and silently looked out the window.
After a long pause, he slowly opened his mouth, but this time the atmosphere was much heavier.
"If possible, I hope they only need to be like in anime, becoming live streamers and national idols, instead of facing a monster from the abyss that even adults are terrified of. Most of them are actually still in their teens, and should be in school studying and watching dramas."
"Who says otherwise? What's even more infuriating is that magical girls can only be girls. I haven't seen a single boy become a magical girl yet." Peng Liang said, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Bai Yuze glanced at him sideways. "You called me out because you're thinking of developing a device that can turn men into magical girls?"
"How could that be? I'm just asking the same question again: would you be willing to become a member of the Abyss Security Bureau?"
Bai Yuzhe: "..."
"Don't rush to refuse. What I mean is that you're just officially registered with the Security Bureau, but you're still actually at Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School, so it won't affect your daily life."
"What do you need me to do?"
"You'll become the liaison for the Gladiolus Judgment Squad. Your task is simple: we'll provide you with a computer. Each time a monster appears at a location, you'll be responsible for notifying the magical girls. Also, record the level and number of monsters they slay. This will help us assess the team's level and award rewards in the future..."
"Is the Gladiolus Judgment Squad the magical girl squad that was reported in the news yesterday?"
"Yes."
"What you said is very tempting. Who wouldn't like a job where they can slack off every day? But I refuse. I plan to take Bai Youqing away from Yeqiu City in a while."
Bai Yuze looked into Peng Liang's dark, bright eyes, as if trying to see something in them.
