Chapter 57 Demanding Debt

Li Yi didn't know much about the affairs among practitioners. After all, he was just an ordinary worker a month ago, so whenever he encountered something he couldn't make up his mind about, he would consult someone with experience.

Listening to other people's opinions and advice can sometimes help you avoid many detours.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Biao's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Li Yi, you said an investigator wants you to be a foreign combat officer of the Investigation Bureau? This is a good thing. I will definitely agree. This is a serious career with high pay and many opportunities. The most important thing is that if something goes wrong, the Investigation Bureau will cover you up."

"Foreign combat personnel have to go on missions frequently, which will affect their practice." Li Yi asked about his doubts.

Lin Yue said, "It depends on what you choose. If you join the Investigation Bureau as a foreign combatant, you can get some more systematic training. Although you have to go on missions, you also have a stable source of income. This is much better than being a guide. After all, the work of a guide is unstable. The reason why I took the guide certificate exam now is because my cultivation has slowed down and I need a part-time job. After reaching our stage, we can no longer focus on cultivation. Life is also important."

"Li Yi, you have already discovered that your cultivation has slowed down. We have all encountered this situation before. When the progress of cultivation slows down, we have to focus on other things, so I still hope that you can take this job and become a foreign combatant."

After hearing this, Li Yi finally understood.

A stable job is beneficial to future life, and joining the Investigation Bureau can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Although it is a mission, it is still worth it in comparison.

"I have a rare item. Although my cultivation speed is a little slower than before, I haven't reached my limit yet. I still have a lot of room for improvement. Normally, I should continue to practice at home, but this opportunity is rare now. I should accept this job. As long as I work during the day and practice at night, it won't delay me."

"The most important thing is that I need an identity and a backer now, otherwise I will be powerless if something happens like this time. If I join the Investigation Bureau, even if I offend someone, they will be cautious."

Li Yi kept thinking in his mind and finally made a choice.

"Since Uncle Biao and Sister Lin have said so, I will follow your advice and join the Investigation Bureau as a foreign combatant."

Lin Yue smiled and nodded: "That's right, you now have boxing skills and are strong enough to do this job, but you have to remember that if you encounter a dangerous mission that you can't handle, don't be too serious. Run when you should run, and refuse the mission when you should refuse it."

"Is this possible?" Li Yi asked in surprise.

Lin Yue rolled her eyes and said, "You are not an investigator. To put it bluntly, foreign combat personnel are just temporary workers. If you mess up a few times, no one will say anything to you. At most, you can just resign. Your life is more important."

"I understand." Li Yi felt that what Sister Lin said made sense. No matter what time, his own life was the most important.

"By the way, has anything special happened in your family recently? For example, about your mother..." Lin Yue's expression suddenly became serious again.

"No, my mother is fine and healthy in the medical cabin. I often say hello to my mother. What's wrong?" Li Yi asked puzzled at this moment.

"."

Lin Yue didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only say, "You should pay more attention to your mother. If there's anything wrong, tell me."

"Okay." Li Yi nodded with a smile.

Lin Yue was silent again. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Li Yi seemed to be very abnormal whenever the issue of his mother was involved, as if his cognition was affected by some force. Even though her hints were so obvious, Li Yi didn't notice at all.

But she didn't dare to point it out directly, because she hasn't found a way to deal with that thing yet. If she rashly breaks this balance, it could easily lead to something serious.

Several people chatted for a while.

About an hour later, Uncle Biao had something else to do in the meditation room and couldn't stay for long, so he took Lin Yue away.

Before leaving, Lin Yue asked Li Yi to pay attention to the clothes she brought.

Clothes made from Qilin dragon skin are very luxurious, and it would be a big loss if you lose them.

Li Yi naturally understood that this was obtained from Yang Yilong and must be not cheap.

After seeing the two people off, Li Yi told his relatives about his situation in the family group, telling them not to worry, and also thanked them for helping to take care of his parents these days.

Only after dealing with these trivial matters did he rest with peace of mind.

The next morning, Wang Jian came to visit.

"The sniper rifle issue has been resolved. You're such a thief that you hid it so far away. No wonder we searched the neighborhood and couldn't find it. By the way, how have you considered the foreign combat personnel? I have other things to do, so you have to give me a reply as soon as possible."

Wang Jian was in a hurry and was ready to leave as soon as he arrived.

Li Yi replied: "I agree to become a foreign combatant."

"Okay, very good. You should have a good rest these days. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will take you to the Investigation Bureau to register. Also, you don't have to worry about Kong Sheng. He will be able to go back in two days. I'm telling you this in advance." Wang Jian got a satisfactory answer.

"Thank you." Li Yi said.

"We'll be colleagues from now on, so we should help each other more. By the way, please add my contact information first and call me if you have any questions." Wang Jian smiled, gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.

It seems that being an investigator is really busy. Everything has been fine these few days. Li Yi only knows that he is fine and does not need to worry about the subsequent troubles. Wang Jian can help him deal with it. As for Ning Wu, he has not heard any relevant news and cannot find out anything. So he simply does not think about it and rests in the hospital.

It was the third night that Li Yi was in the hospital.

Something happened that he had overlooked.

Li Yi once used his life span to buy a coffin in Ghost Street. Damn it, now the time has come to collect the debt, because the old man who sold him the thing said that a debt collector ghost would come to collect the debt in seven days.

Li Yi owed a total debt of eighty years of his life.

now.

Inside the ghost street of the danger zone.

It is still the same here as before, with wronged souls and evil spirits wandering around, and ghost soldiers and ghost cops patrolling non-stop. Any living person who accidentally breaks in here will be ruthlessly swallowed up by these horrible ghosts. Only by mastering special methods and pretending to be dead can one avoid being attacked by ghosts.

It’s a pity that people who accidentally enter here don’t know this, and by the time they realize something is wrong, it’s already too late.

Therefore, Ghost Street is regarded as a forbidden place of death by many practitioners in the dangerous area, and it is a place that cannot be set foot in under any circumstances.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a miracle that Li Yi was able to come back alive from Ghost Street.

at this time.

There is a rather special and strange figure on Ghost Street.

It was a strange man who was barefoot, hunchbacked, dressed in tattered clothes and carrying a bamboo basket. He looked more like a ghost from hell than a human. This ghost wore a hood made of white cloth, so his face could not be seen clearly. He held a cane in one hand and a pale lantern in the other. On the lantern was written a distorted black font: DEBT.

"The debt collector ghost appears again." Some living people hiding in the Ghost Street are no longer surprised by the appearance of such ghosts.

However, this time the debt collector ghost behaved a little abnormally and walked towards another unknown direction of Ghost Street.

while walking.

The scene of the ghost street gradually became blurred, and some modern high-rise buildings began to appear around it.

The appearance of the debt collector seems out of place in the surroundings.

But the debt collector did not stop. It just went to find the creditor according to the instructions on the debt note.

Li Yi, who is lying in the hospital, is the creditor this time.

that's it.

The debt collector walked slowly in the danger zone, holding a cane and a lantern.

I thought the debt collection this time would go as smoothly as before.

But halfway through the walk something weird happened.

The pale lantern in the debt collector's hand was originally lit with an eerie ghost fire, but at this moment the ghost fire suddenly went out, and the lantern became tattered at some point, as if it had been corroded by something.

The speed of this erosion is not fast, but it is like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time you react, it is already too late.

The debt collector stopped at this moment.

Because it was not just the lantern that was suffering from erosion, it was also suffering from some kind of erosion. Its flesh was being melted away, and black smoke was coming out of its body, as if it appeared in the sun and was being burned all over.

But it is clearly late at night now.

Why is this happening?

The debt collector ghost didn't seem to be very intelligent and didn't quite understand the situation, so it let out a creepy and painful howl while quickening its pace and continuing to move towards Li Yi.

But all this is destined to be in vain.

This debt collector could no longer withstand the pollution of this world and was completely eroded before he even left the danger zone.

With the last scream of the ghost, the debt collector disappeared completely, leaving only a useless bamboo basket and a tattered lantern that had long been extinguished.

Obviously, this debt is difficult to recover.

Li Yi, the instigator, was still sleeping in the hospital. He had no idea what was happening in the danger zone and even forgot about the fact that he owed a huge debt of life.
