90 "The other party withdrew a wanted notice"

Nan Cheng Office set up a special group and pulled them all in.

Tushan Jiu was the last one to join the group.

According to the group announcement's requirements, she changed her group nickname to Debt Collector Tushan Jiu.

Like those above, after replying that she had received it, she set off to prepare to go to Nan Cheng Office to get her temporary law enforcement certificate.

I originally thought she would be the first to arrive, but I didn't expect someone to be even faster than her.

And there was more than one.

Tushan Jiu tilted her head, looking at several delivery and courier guys in front wearing yellow, blue, and red work uniforms, and she fell into deep thought.

Indeed, China's takeout and delivery system is an all-powerful mysterious organization.

The person ahead of her was a delivery guy from a certain eastern company, not old, about her age.

He seemed a bit friendly with strangers, was talking with the person ahead, then turned his head and saw Tushan Jiu arriving; a flash of amazement crossed his eyes, and he bowed his fists toward Tushan Jiu, saying:

"Hello beautiful female Dao friend, I'm Wang Dongqing of the Orthodox Unity Sect. Which sect are you from? You look a bit unfamiliar."

This guy's voice wasn't small; the people waiting ahead heard it and also turned to look.

Although everyone is busy these days, the metaphysics circle is just that small, and moreover, the Faction also organizes an annual meeting at year-end.

It's quite modern.

So everyone can get to know each other by sight.

When she was in Yun Shi, she didn't like to participate in these activities; it was always her grandfather who went.

Now it's good; the Tushan Family has only her as a lone commander, and her socializing in this regard probably won't decrease either.

Tushan Jiu expressed a calm mind about it; otherwise, what else could be done?

In the midst of her thoughts, she also returned a fist salute, introducing herself: "Debt Collector Tushan Jiu, hello Friend Wang."

As soon as the three words "Debt Collector" were spoken, not only those who had just turned back looked over.

Even those with slightly raised chins and an aloof demeanor all 'whoosh' turned their necks to look.

Tushan Jiu: "......"

Their gaze...... How could it be like they were looking at some rare animal!

Wang Dongqing reacted with an exclamation: "My goodness! You're actually from the Tushan Family! Awesome, my sister!"

He came over and gossiped: "Ah, Friend of Tushan, I heard yesterday that those Chi Guo that escaped from the Underworld were all captured so quickly because you divined their location? Your divination skills are great."

At that time, they had just seen the wanted notice on the forum and were getting ready to show off their skills.

He was about to give up taking orders, and then he saw, "The other party withdrew a wanted notice."

After their multiple inquiries, they finally found out that it was actually a Debt Collector who took the job.

But they all thought the Debt Collector was the result of remote divination.

Never would have imagined, but this person is actually right here in Nan Cheng locally!

However, they were convinced, after all, the person makes a living by their own ability.

But today's mission is different; it's about catching ghosts, not just divining their exact location.

Can she do it?

Of course, they were just thinking this in their hearts; nobody would actually say it out loud to be annoying.

Debt Collector, they can't afford to provoke!

Tushan Jiu didn't know what they were thinking; if someone praised her, she just accepted it.

Thus she politely smiled, "It's pretty good, after all, we Debt Collectors do this line of work."

"pap"

Great, the words fell to the ground, the chat dispersed.

Wang Dongqing scratched the back of his head, tried hard to pick it up, but after trying, just gave a "hehe" laugh, then turned his head and continued chatting with the person ahead.

Tushan Jiu didn't mind either, took out a lollipop from her pocket, tore open the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.

This is what she had Xie Shiyu pick for her.

As soon as she opened the wrapper, she smelled strawberry.

Indeed, her boyfriend's luck is good, she also gets a share of it!

The certificate registration and issuance were quick; seeing Tushan Jiu arrive, the reception desk staff all gave her a thumbs-up gesture.

Having come here many times, they all knew her; seeing them give her a cheer, she also imitated the online gesture of pinching thumb and index finger, responding with a heart sign.

Those people were all dumbfounded.

They looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

How come she, who just arrived, seems more familiar with them and the Office staff than they are?

More importantly, they were given a little heart, and they looked excited, as if they had received a response from an idol.

Is it that their internet speed is bad?

Everyone knows the Debt Collector's divination is eerily accurate; being able to divine the location of the Chi Guo isn't all that surprising, right?

Why are they all so...... excited?

Tushan Jiu didn't notice; she took the certificate in her hand and flipped it open to look.

The law enforcement certificate is about the same size as the human realm's police officer certificate.

It contains the user's full information, plus special runes.

These special runes are equivalent to a kind of promise and guarantee.

After all, they are merely 'temporary' law enforcers.

In case something special happens, the Office here can also promptly know and rush over.

After receiving her law enforcement certificate, Tushan Jiu glanced at it twice and then put it in her pocket.

She calmly left the office under the gaze of everyone.

After leaving the alley, she first went to Southern University.

Indeed, one of the ghosts was a fourth-year student at Southern University.

This place is closest to the university town, so let's start with him.

……

In the second cafeteria of Southern University.

A man was sitting next to a female student, watching her and her friend eat.

Suddenly, the female student seemed to have eaten something unpleasant, and she frowned.

The man instinctively reached his hand to her mouth.

But the female student picked up the paper on the table, spit out the ginger shreds and wrapped them in the paper.

The man's face was full of disappointment, and he withdrew his hand.

"Ah, Yiyi, Xin Xin, do you guys feel a bit cold? The weather is so chilly, yet the cafeteria's air conditioning is still on?"

"It is a bit cold; I feel outside is warmer than the cafeteria." He Xin agreed while gnawing on spare ribs.

Lan Yi listened to her friend's words and nodded, "Indeed, even wearing a jacket I feel a chilly breeze around me."

"I'll definitely drop a note in the school's suggestion box later!"

Lan Yi smiled slightly and continued to eat with her head down.

After Zhang Xiaohui finished complaining, she also ate silently; when they were almost done eating, she asked Lan Yi, "Yiyi, are you going home for the Mid-Autumn holiday?"

Lan Yi's hand holding vegetables paused for a moment, she lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, I want to go back to see him."

The person opposite hearing this fell silent instantly.

He Xin kicked Zhang Xiaohui under the table; Zhang Xiaohui instantly understood, "Alright, we're heading the same way, I'll grab the tickets—you know my lightning-fast speed, I'll try to snag adjacent seats!"

Seeing the two friends being so careful, Lan Yi smiled at them, "I've already accepted the fact that he left me; you two don't need to be so careful. Xiaohui, help me get the tickets; later let's go to the mall—I want to buy some things for his mother to bring back."

Zhang Xiaohui's first reaction was an "Ah?"—"His mother treats you like that, and you still want to warm your cold butt?"

Lan Yi pressed her lips, remained silent for a while, then spoke again: "It's I who owe him."

The man frowned at her, opened his mouth, but made no sound.
