Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun was in the sky.

The hot day in Dongcheng is sweltering and sultry. Even if you just go out for a walk, you feel like you are roasting meat on a barbecue grill.

Few people choose outdoor activities in this weather, no matter which street is deserted.However, there are always many people and cars at the entrance of the hospital, blocking the road from the entrance to the end of the street.

The people in the car were bored, looked around aimlessly, and inadvertently noticed the "Life End Service Station" on the corner of the street.I have to say that the current funeral supplies store is also interesting, and the name is so innovative.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly saw someone pushing the door and walking in.

With a handsome face, curly hair and almost perfect body proportions, men only feel familiar.After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that this person is the trainee whose girlfriend pulls him to vote every day?

He immediately sent a message to his girlfriend, saying that he met Lu Xu at the wreath shop outside the door.

"Don't be stupid, Xu Zai is still under closed management, busy training and can't get out at all, okay?"

Damn, I still don't believe it.

"Why lie to you, I really saw it. You wait for me to get off, and I will prove it to you." The man became stubborn, and as soon as he got off, he opened the car door and rushed towards the "life end service station".

He originally wanted to see Lu Xu asking for an autograph for his girlfriend, so it's no big deal even if he admits to the wrong person.

However, when he opened the door of the "End of Life Service Station", he found that there was not even a shadow queen inside.The small door was filled with various funerary items such as yellow paper, painting circles, and shrouds, and the room was filled with the smell of incense.

Although it was afternoon, the dim light in the front room seemed a little strange.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" The man asked tentatively, but there was no response at all.Looking at the small front room to the end, it looks like someone is there.

"It's weird." The man couldn't help frowning, he clearly watched that person walk in, but he didn't see him go out through this one door.

What the heck.

As soon as this idea popped up, the man trembled unknowingly.The funeral parlor next to the hospital seems to be a scene that often appears in horror novels.

While thinking about it, he backed out with a complicated expression, always feeling fuzzy in his heart, only felt that he had encountered something unclean, and had long since forgotten about Lu Xu he had seen before.

Lu Xu: He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, naturally he didn't know that someone had tried to find him.

He was originally preparing for the recording of the fourth episode of the program in his apartment, but he suddenly received a call from the Reaper's anti-corruption investigation team.

"Your colleague Xie An is suspected of being involved in a smuggling case, and wants to ask you if you know about it, and if there is a summons, I hope you can cooperate with the investigation..."

Xie An...

smuggling case...

Lu Xu had an intuition that it was impossible, so he immediately asked: "What kind of case is it, and where is Xie An now, can I meet him?"

"I'm sorry, Xie An is currently under investigation, and no one can visit him until the results of the investigation come out..."

No matter how Lu Xu asked, the investigation team just refused to disclose any information.

Lu Xu's situation was suddenly passive, and he didn't feel worried about Xie An.

In order to find out exactly what happened, he first went to the bathroom with an excuse, and then teleported to the vicinity of the People's Hospital.When Xie An was not there after pushing the door, Lu Xu felt furious and felt that things were not that simple.

Without thinking too much, Lu Xu immediately called his minister to find out what was going on.

"Hey, Xiao Lu..."

"Minister, have you heard about Xie An? What happened? How did he get involved in the smuggling case?"

"Well, speaking of it, I'm actually quite surprised." The minister was obviously a little embarrassed, after all, it's not a glorious thing for an employee to be involved in a smuggling case.He sighed first, and then explained briefly to Jian Jian and Lu Xu. "Someone reported that they suspected that there was an improper transaction in your eastern district. If you investigate this kind of thing, it will be fine, right? That person actually reported you, but he didn't expect you to have no problem, but he found out Xie An..."

Lu Xu just felt stuffy in his heart, and always felt that things were not that simple: "So, what exactly did Xie An do?"

"The investigation team carefully compared his work records, and found a gap. Xie An's work corresponds to a customer profile missing one, so it is suspected that he took bribes to help stowaways stay in the human world..."

"Impossible." Lu Xu subconsciously denied this statement, and said in a complicated mood, "Minister, Xie An has also worked with us for more than 50 years. You know his personality. He has worn a set of work clothes for more than ten years. , even if it doesn’t fit well, I’m not willing to change it. I live in the dormitory of the unit, and even the food for myself is old-fashioned.”

If Xie An was the kind of god of death who traded for profit, he would have let himself be wronged like this.

"Of course I also know Xiaoxie's character, but the problem now is that there are serious problems in his work. If he cooperates with the investigation, he may be able to find out what's going on quickly, but he refuses to cooperate with the investigation team's inquiries , a typical resistance to strictness.

"Xie An refused to cooperate with the investigation?" Lu Xu frowned unconsciously as he spoke, not understanding why Xie An was.It's just that it's useless for him to make more guesses in this situation. If he wants to find out the truth of the matter, he can only ask Xie An.

Lu Xu collected himself and calmed himself down first: "Minister, can I meet Xie An?"

"It's not possible in theory, but I'll try to arrange it as much as possible." Xie An is a very serious employee. Although he doesn't talk much at ordinary times, he does all the tasks assigned by his superiors without saying a word, and his performance is also good. .

There are at least a few gods of death operating in other districts, but the east district is supported only by Lu Xu and Xie An.If he could, the minister didn't want him to have problems.

Lu Xu had just finished a big project called "Devil's Bay". With so many undead, their performance in Dongcheng is basically among the best in China.In addition, Xie An is also working very hard, and the East is very likely to become the performance king of this quarter or even this year.

As their immediate superior, the minister also has a bright face.

But now it's good, Xie An is involved in the smuggling case, so don't even think about getting a job for a while.

Considering this practical problem, the minister immediately said to Lu Xu: "Xie An's Reaper certificate has been temporarily revoked, and you are the only Reaper in the Eastern District. Considering that you are still participating in the draft in the human world, the organization is afraid that you will not be too busy Come and prepare to transfer the death gods from other districts to assist you in your work."

It's not so much an assist as a rezoning.

The performance of the Eastern District is the first all year round, and many districts feel jealous.

After all, the Reaper of the Eastern District stumbled, which happened to be their best chance to fight for the right to manage the region.

How could the minister not understand the truth inside, but the reality does not allow it, so he could only comfort Lu Xu and said, "It's just taking over temporarily, and when Xie An comes back, I may reassign you colleagues. The Eastern District is still yours..."

Lu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment and asked, "Which district is the minister planning to arrange for?"

"Hmm... my colleagues from the Southwest volunteered to come over and accept it. Look..."

"Is it the southwest where Lai Chengshan is located, or the southwest where a bunch of stranded people are left for me?"

"hiss……"

What Lu Xu said was not polite at all, but it happened to be the truth.The minister naturally has an impression of these things, because Lu Xu took their orders in the past, and Southwest responded several times that Lu Xu crossed the line, but he suppressed them.

Thinking of those people in the southwest, Lu Xu probably had some thoughts in his mind: "Should I take the initiative to ask Ying to help me, or actively report and send Xie An in?"

"Xiao Lu, you can't say that. In the final analysis, there is something wrong with Xie An. Otherwise, why did you find him when you were fine..."

"I didn't say that Xie An was right. Of course, it's unclear what the situation is now, and I can't convict my colleagues before the matter is settled. No matter what Xie An did, it is true that the Southwest Death God Department is not doing well. East District I've always been in charge, and I don't want to find someone less capable to take over."

"But you are still recording the program and have to watch Ji Xiunian, can you be busy? Before, Xie An helped you, and he ran the whole district by himself. Can you do it now?"

Lu Xu didn't rush to answer whether it's okay, but suddenly said softly: "Minister, the death toll in Dongcheng City last year was 12378, and the death rate was 5.32%. Among them, our Dongcheng District had 7240 deaths last year, an average of about 4579 people per day. I This year, Devil's Bay alone has taken in [-] people, do you think I can do it?"

Lu Xu doesn't like to boast, and doesn't like to be emotional. He always speaks with facts.

"You boy..." The minister was taken aback when he heard his data analysis, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, since you have said so, I will not arrange people in the Eastern District for the time being. But I have to say, even if The number of people serving has increased, and the quality of service must be guaranteed. If you find it difficult in the future, don’t fight it yourself, just let me know at any time?"

"En." Although Lu Xu knew that this would not happen, he still politely responded, "Minister, Xie An..."

"You can play at ease first, I will watch from there, but I will tell you immediately if there is anything. As for the meeting, don't worry, I will tell you when I arrange it, it will only be in the next few days." The minister said Then, he smiled helplessly, "Others say you are the most emotionless one in the Shinigami department, but you see, you are still very human."

"Okay, minister, I'll go to work first."

Lu Xu hung up the phone and didn't show any expression. He pressed the toilet switch when he heard something outside, then pushed open the bathroom door and walked out: "Brother Nian?"

As soon as he went out, he saw Ji Xiunian standing at the door looking in, as if he was looking for someone.

"Hi!" Ji Xiunian heard Tao Yingbo say that Lu Xu answered the phone and hurried out, always feeling as if something was about to happen.Out of worry, he called Lu Xu, but for some reason he was unable to answer.

The staff said that Lu Xu went to the bathroom, and Ji Xiunian subconsciously followed him: "That... are you okay?"
