Shanhai Folklore Research Institute

Tick.

Something fell lightly on the window lattice.

Lin Mian stood up suspiciously, pushed open the window, and found a watermark on the window sill.

It has been hot for almost a month and it has rained!

Tick, tick.

The raindrops are getting denser and denser, not too big, like cow hair, but there is still rustling in the ears, and a thin mist fills the courtyard.

On the first night at the institute, Lin Mian fell asleep to the sound of the rain.

The next morning, Lin Mian was woken up by the heat. The poor life of the past 19 years made him reluctant to turn on the air conditioner all night. He turned it off before going to bed. He thought it would be cooler in the middle of the night after it rained outside, but it turned out not at all.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, the ground, leaves, and the cobbled path were extremely dry, and the cicadas were screaming hoarsely. Lin Mian suspected that the rain last night was just a dream.

After he finished washing, he slipped out of the room. The staff dormitory was quiet. The others hadn't woken up yet. Lin Mian went to the kitchen, cooked a pot of millet porridge, and took out a piece of meat the size of a palm from the freezer, thawed it, and cut it into shreds. , fried with mustard, there was still half a bottle of unfinished fermented bean curd in the freezer, Lin Mian checked that it was still within the expiration date.

When Mr. Qi walked into the living room with his hands behind his back, Lin Mian was chatting with Lu Yichao on WeChat while drinking porridge.

Vajra Gourd Baby: The first day Lin Zi was away, thinking about him, the tiger shed tears.jpg.

Paji: Speak human words.

Vajra Gourd Baby: Wow, I was the only one in the dormitory last night, I was so scared to death!

Paji: How about you squeeze next door?I remember that some people in 301 didn't come home.

Vajra Gourd Baby: No!

Paji: Why?

Vajra Gourd Baby: The guy who stayed in 301 is gay, every time he looks at me it scares me!

Paji: ...

There were five bowls of yellow millet porridge neatly chilled on the long dining table. Mr. Qi sat down beside one of the bowls with a smile, and sighed in his heart, did the dean hire an assistant?

No, this is recruiting a snail girl!

"Morning Assistant Lin!"

"Good morning!" Miss Lin Tianluo Mian closed WeChat, and pushed Xiaocai towards Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi turned on the TV in the living room, the old and the young were drinking millet porridge while watching the morning news.

"The body of Zhao, the worker who dug out the porcelain plate from the foundation of the old teaching building in Richuan, has been found by the police. There is also another male corpse at the scene. The identity of the male corpse was confirmed to be Wang from Shancheng after investigation. He likes to collect antiques. ..."

The news did not report the case in detail, but with the information, Lin Mian guessed all about the scene in his mind.

The news that Sichuan University workers had dug up antiques quickly spread after a few days of fermentation. Naturally, interested antique dealers found a way to contact the other party, such as the dead Wang, and the workers just wanted to make a fortune. They hit it off and agreed to meet in East Kowloon.

Of course, they didn’t reach an agreement, and the two clashed. Judging from the state of the corpse, it should be that Wang knocked the worker unconscious with his hand first and planned to throw the worker into the elevator shaft to destroy the corpse. Unexpectedly, the latter woke up halfway. , pulled him on the back and fell down together, both of them died.

"People make money and birds die for food." Gouwei quietly sat opposite Lin Mian, took a big sip of millet porridge, and happily picked up shredded pork with pickled mustard.

There was the sound of running barefoot in the corridor, and after a while Lin Mian was caught in the middle with one eye, two eyes, one left and one right, learning to speak with hook tail.

"People die for money!"

"Birds die for food!"

Wu Ting squinted his eyes lazily. He was still wearing a black slim shirt and slacks that outlined his thin waist and long straight legs. He glanced at the millet porridge on the table and looked away disinterestedly.

"Assistant Lin's skills are good." Hook Wei Guji Guji chewed the food in his mouth, boasting casually.

Then Head Wu's footsteps came this way!

Lin Mian moved her chair to one side to make room for Wu Ting. The dean sat down and tasted it: "It's really good!"

Half an hour later, Mr. Qi was the first to leave the backyard. It was time to go to work, and a small blue-red satchel with one eye, two eyes, and one person also left the door.

Wu Ting led Lin Mian to the office slowly, leaving Hook to wash the dishes.

After walking out of the living room and under the eaves of the porch, Lin Mian realized that it was raining again, but it was smaller and finer than last night.

Wu Ting reached out to take a few drops, his fingertips were wet by the rain, he frowned slightly and said: "Artificial rainfall."

Lin Mian was a little surprised. Chuancheng is located in the south, and the climate is humid. To be honest, there were not many artificial rainfalls in the past.

Wu Ting's office is very large, with a long desk. There are two armchairs of the same style behind them. One is very domineering, and the other is one size smaller.

Dean Wu sat down on the domineering armchair, and pointed to the small one.

Lin Mian sat there with her schoolbag in her arms, as if she was back in high school, and she was in class with her deskmate, which felt a bit magical.

His job today is very simple, just write a report on what happened to Zhu Xi yesterday.

Before the new computer was ready, Wu Ting gave him his own computer.

The office was very quiet, only the sound of Lin Mian typing and Wu Ting flipping paper documents.

hum.

The phone vibrated, Lin Mian paused, and quietly glanced at the boss next to him, seeing that there was no response from the other party, he clicked on the message.

"Your debit card account xxxx earned RMB 07 online on July 12, and the balance after the transaction...

Xiao Lin, a poor male college student, slowly opened his eyes wide when he saw the five-figure bank card balance.

WeChat popped up a message at the right time.

Is it Brother Wei, not Viagra: Assistant Lin, have you received this month's salary?

Lin Mian quickly replied.

Paji: Received, thank you Brother Wei!

It's Brother Wei, not Viagra: You're welcome, the dean asked me to give you an advance payment, with deep merit and fame.jpg.

Lin Mian was taken aback. Yesterday Wu Ting told him that he could advance his salary, but he didn't mention it to Gouwei after three days, and Wu Ting would not expect him to say this for him.

Wu Ting was still reading the materials, his black forehead hair fell down with his slightly forward posture, he looked very focused, his jaw line was a little tight, he was completely different from the one with the wink cat head last night.

Sure enough, a full stop is more suitable for the dean!

After Lin Mian sighed, he continued to write the report. Wu Ting's cell phone rang, probably afraid of disturbing the little assistant, so he went to the lounge next door to answer the phone.

It took a long time to answer the phone, and when Lin Mian's report was finished, Wu Ting sent a message to Gouwei, asking him to come over.

A few minutes later, Assistant Lin got his first field assignment in his internship career.

"Since a month ago, the temperature in Sichuan City has continued to be high, and the rainfall has reached the lowest level in nearly ten years. The Meteorological Bureau has carried out artificial rainfall twice, but the results were not very successful..." Wu Ting tapped his finger on the desktop.

Hook tail stroked the round chin: "The higher-ups think that the abnormal climate may be related to monsters?"

"That's right." Wu Ting cast his eyes on Lin Mian who was at the side.

"Is there any specific clue?" Lin Mian opened his notebook.

"According to the satellite cloud image sent by the special management office, although the two artificial rainfalls are not ideal, they basically covered the entire Sichuan city, except for one place." Wu Ting looked solemn.

"Where?" Lin Mian subconsciously asked.

"In Linwan Village in the west of the city, the Special Management Office believes that the source of the climate anomaly is likely to be there."

"Then shall we set off now?" Lin Mian's tone was faintly filled with excitement, and Hook Wei didn't know what this silly boy was getting excited about.

"You and Gouwei go first, I have to go to Taize and join you at noon tomorrow." Wu Ting's words made the remaining two stunned.

Hook Wei: ... No, I don't want to go out to work alone!

Lin Mian: ...the boss abandoned himself to go on a business trip alone, as if he was a fake assistant.

But Wu Ting didn't give them too much time to think, he just said something to Lin Mian that he couldn't figure out, waited for him to come back, and left in a hurry.

Gouwei patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, most of the monsters that cause drought are not lethal, and they don't like to eat people, so the risk factor is not high."

Lin Mian nodded indiscriminately. He wasn't afraid, but seeing Wu Ting walking in a hurry, he guessed that there must be something serious about Taize.

"Where is Taize?" Lin Mian picked up her schoolbag and hook tail and got on the minibus to the west of the city.

"It's the Bohai Sea, Taize is the old name." Gouwei asked him to sit inside, and pulled down the curtain to block the sun outside.

"Recently there have been rumors of a mermaid riot. That family has always formed its own faction in the sea. It doesn't obey the control of the special management office. It sent a few waves of people and came back in disgrace. Mr. Jiang probably had no choice but thought of asking Our dean will go out."

Riot...

Lin Mian frowned her beautiful eyebrows, could Wu Ting handle it alone?

But if it's a shark...

He imagined the appearance of a large wave of beautiful girls with naked/naked upper bodies and beautiful fishtails surrounded by Dean Wu.

Lin Mian: ...I didn't worry at all in an instant!
