Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 409 - 207: If Only I Had a Wife
The heavy rain continued until the latter half of the night, turning into a drizzle.
By three or four in the morning, Wang Yunxiao was barely conscious and didn’t even realize when those demons and evil spirits that came to die had been exterminated.
He actually didn’t mind letting those demons and evil spirits kidnap that girl; he was just putting on a show. But strangely, it seemed that the kidnappers weren’t genuinely interested in taking the girl, either. From their series of actions, they seemed to prefer the girl dying at the hands of the Governmental Office.
Unfortunately, Wang Yunxiao wasn’t cooperating.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself being carried on a stretcher.
Veronica, standing in the distance, gestured to him not to worry.
Wang Yunxiao then fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying in a hospital bed, an IV drip hanging beside him, and the sunset’s afterglow outside the window.
He had slept until six-thirty in the evening, and he woke up because he was hungry.
He hadn’t eaten for two whole days, and his stomach was growling loudly.
I need to eat something...
Wang Yunxiao gritted his teeth and struggled to get out of bed, looking for something to fill his stomach.
Transmigrators always have countless beautiful girls fussing over them, but look at my situation... Tsk, no parents, no wife, all alone in the hospital, might not even be found immediately if I died.
Even though he knew his friends’ situation might be even worse than his, Wang Yunxiao still felt terrible.
When will I be able to get a wife...
Thump, thump, thump!
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Wang Yunxiao turned his head toward the door, which was slightly ajar, revealing half of Li Mumu’s head.
Wang Yunxiao: ???
Why is she here?
No, wait... is her brain working now?
Watching Eldest Miss Li, who was carrying a can of fruit and wearing a face mask, walk in from outside, with bright and intelligent eyes showing no signs of dim-wittedness, Wang Yunxiao was utterly stunned.
How long was I asleep?
Has it been ten years?
"Hello, Classmate Wang!"
Li Mumu squinted her eyes and cheerfully waved.
She had actually arrived earlier, but not for Wang Yunxiao.
Last night, she and Xia Yubing had severely beaten up that old man, crippling him to the point where he couldn’t take care of himself. Even then, the old man complained that they were too gentle and even questioned Xia Yubing’s identity.
Xia Yubing had intended to spare his life, hoping to extract more information from him, but with the audacity of his statements, it seemed killing him was necessary to avoid showing weakness.
However, Li Mumu felt it was a bit wasteful. She and Xia Yubing were the nominal Divine Envoys of the new generation for the Longevity Sect, but in reality, they were just two commanders without an army. If they encountered a situation like this again, would they have to take matters into their own hands?
I’m just here to experience life, do you really think I care about that meager salary and am willing to drink inspirational speeches and accept manipulative persuasion?
Thus, Li Mumu claimed the name of the Longevity Sect and asked the old man whether he wanted to die or join the Longevity Sect to serve her.
The old man didn’t utter a second word, dropped to his knees, and kowtowed three loud thumps on the ground, declaring himself a disciple.
His will to survive was incredibly strong.
Li Mumu didn’t make it difficult for him, she merely had Wendy draft him a labor contract.
In exchange for sparing his life, he was asked to serve the Longevity Sect for ten years.
Objectively speaking, the contract itself was straightforward, and Li Mumu was certainly no demon.
Don’t think ten years is a long time; seeing the old man’s eagerness to court death, he might not live safely until the end of those years.
The contract itself was quite simple, even primitive, leaving ample loopholes. However, if he took the contract lightly and harbored ill intentions, he would surely feel the warm gaze of Nyarlathotep, the god of trust.
After taking care of the old man, it was getting late and the rain continued. Li Mumu, drained of energy, decided not to strain herself further, bid Xia Yubing farewell, and crossed through the Dreamland for Children to return to her school dormitory.
The two young girls were sleeping restlessly, seemingly troubled by nightmares and unable to fully awaken, completely unaware of her absence.
Li Mumu lay down in her own bed to catch up on some sleep, and upon waking the next morning, saw that both Zhou Qing and Jiang Yinyin had deep dark circles under their eyes.
"I dreamed my parents were coming to take me back."
"I dreamed that ghosts were chasing me, and I kept running."
This was the influence of the Outer Dimension invading the Real World during a lunar eclipse; one could say it presented no problems. The more realistic their dreams during this night, the better their innate gifts were likely to be.
The two young girls were in a temporary state of mental exhaustion and did not notice that Li Mumu had already returned to normal.
"So where exactly did Wang Yunxiao and his group go? They haven’t come back yet?"
No one could answer this question. Wang Yunxiao and his gang were used to acting tyrannically in school, often unchecked. Moreover, this was during the summer vacation when there were no teachers or students, so no one knew their whereabouts.
Li Mumu had sent a message to Wang Yunxiao in her notebook but hadn’t received any reply.
Just as she was seriously considering whether to call the police, information came from Xia Yubing.
The mission yesterday was not a failure. The employer even extended the mission time and provided more information about the subject, seemingly determined to succeed.
The subject was female, with the pure blood of God flowing in her veins.
In other words, she was like a movable human gold brick.
So far, she had not been taken in by the Special Service Bureau and was still under police protection, having been taken to the "New Asia Hospital" in Nantong District for a medical examination.
Still not taken in?
If yesterday the Special Service Bureau truly had their hands full and couldn’t manage this issue, Li Mumu could understand. But now it was the second day and they still hadn’t made a move, which made Li Mumu, who had once experienced their "containment procedures," suspicious.
There was a sense of setting the hook with the right bait...
Xia Yubing had little interest in the hook itself but was very interested in the fish that bit.
Having caught one yesterday, following the simple principle that whether it’s one sheep or two, it’s still herding, she thought it would be a good idea to scoop up two more fish at the opportunity, not to cook them, but to add bricks to build up the Longevity Sect and boost its strength.
Li Mumu found this reasoning very sensible.
It was like starting a company; you can’t just let the boss do all the work alone. You need to hire people to build the company structure, keep it running smoothly, and generate profits.
But it wasn’t until she reached New Asia Hospital for reconnaissance that she realized the problems created by yesterday’s rain were far more troublesome than she had anticipated.
