After breaking up, I picked up a beautiful vampire girl.

It's 9pm now. Why would anyone come to the door at such a late hour?

Li Muhan didn't have many friends. Could it be that Luo Yang came to ask for his bicycle?

Just when Li Muhan was stunned, a young woman's voice came from the door.

"Excuse me, can you open the door? I'm not a bad person."

Hearing this voice, Xia Yue's expression became obviously nervous.

When Li Muhan got up and opened the door, standing outside was a tall and beautiful girl in a suit.

Her short hair was tied into a ponytail, with an obscure smile on her face, and she was holding a plastic bag in her hand.

"I bought some dinner on the way here. Can you let me in?"

The woman raised the bag in her hand toward Li Muhan.

The smell of food came from inside.

Li Muhan didn't know this woman, but he had been accustomed to seeing the world since he was a child, and he could read a message from the woman's eyes.

Although she looked like she had a smile on her face, there was some murderous intent in this woman's eyes.

"Salesman? I don't buy anything."

Despite this, Li Muhan still tentatively wanted to reject the other party.

But it was obvious that this woman came prepared.

She suddenly stretched out her hand, and Li Muhan and Xia Yue, who walked out of the room behind her and saw this scene, became nervous instantly.

Especially Xia Yue, when she saw the woman outside the door, she became alert.

When she saw the woman reaching out her hand to Li Muhan, she was almost about to open the realm.

But the woman just handed Li Muhan a work ID.

"My name is Lin Ze, and I'm the deputy director of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. Look, I work for a state agency, not a bad person. Can you let me in for a chat?"

Li Muhan took the ID photo and looked at it again and again. He didn't recognize any IDs for state agencies, and...

What is the Special Management Bureau?

He looked back at Xia Yue, who had just breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Li Muhan was asking for her opinion, she nodded slightly.

"Okay...come in."

Li Muhan opened the door and made way. The woman named Lin Ze immediately walked into the room and threw the bag on the table.

When she saw Xia Yue still standing in a daze at the door of the room, she waved.

"Why are you standing there? Come and sit."

She seemed to regard this place as her own home.

Li Muhan went to the kitchen to pour a cup of tea for Lin Ze, but his eyes were still full of vigilance.

After placing the teacup on the table, Li Muhan walked over to Xia Yue. Xia Yue tugged at the corner of Li Muhan's clothes in dissatisfaction: "...The cup is mine."

Only then did Li Muhan realize that the cup used to pour water for Lin Ze was the one that Gu Ruoxi had left behind.

"This cup is dirty. Let's throw it away after she drinks and buy a new one."

"......oh."

Although Xia Yue was still a little dissatisfied, she nodded.

The woman took a sip of tea and then took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket.

"Can I smoke?"

She looked at Li Muhan with a smile.

"...As you please."

Li Muhan didn't care too much about it.

After getting the owner's consent, Lin Ze immediately lit a cigarette for herself, leaned back in her chair, and after blowing out a puff of smoke, she looked at Xia Yue.

"What? After not seeing you for a month, you're already so distant to me? Come and sit here."

Lin Ze patted the chair beside him as he spoke.

Xia Yue pouted and slowly walked to sit next to Lin Ze.

Lin Ze raised his hand as if nothing had happened and rubbed Xia Yue's hair, which was still a little frizzy from just waking up.

Li Muhan was stupid.

Is Xia Yue really that obedient? Or is this woman so powerful that even Xia Yue can't force herself against her?

"You really give me trouble, Little Moon."

"Don't, don't call me that, I hate it."

Although Xia Yue's tone was cold, there was a feeling that she didn't dare to resist.

The woman crushed the cigarette butt with her fingers and looked at Li Muhan again.

"Come over here too. Don't worry, I don't eat people."

Li Muhan also understood that this woman was not an ordinary person. He walked to the opposite side of the table and sat down slowly. He exchanged glances with Xia Yue, and both of them looked very uncomfortable.

This feeling...

It's as fucking uncomfortable as meeting the parents.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Ze, and I'm affiliated with the Huaxia National Special Management Bureau. The so-called Special Management Bureau is an organization specifically responsible for taking in those 'special groups' who are not human."

When talking about special groups, Lin Ze glanced at Xia Yue.

"You should also know the true identity of the lady next to you. I am her guarantor, so it really bothers me that she made such a big fuss last night. If I don't handle it well, I will be in big trouble."

"What happened yesterday was done by me and had nothing to do with her."

Li Muhan was about to stand up immediately.

"Sit down, sit down." Lin Ze smiled and waved at Li Muhan: "If I really came to cause trouble for you, why would I buy you dinner?"

Lin Ze leaned back, looked at Li Muhan for a while, and then his face showed that calm smile again.

"Actually, I know it was you last night. I didn't know who the other target was, but I figured it out the moment I walked into this apartment. There's a strong smell here, the smell of a demon."

“It’s not what you think…!”

This time it was Xia Yue's turn to stand up and defend Li Muhan, but Lin Ze gently raised his hand and pushed her back into the chair.

"I'm your guarantor, so please trust me a little more, Little Moon. Do I look like someone who's unreasonable?"

"So...what do you want to do with him?"

Xia Yue did not retract her wary look.

"Don't get excited. I'm just here to investigate. It doesn't matter if he's a demon or something else. The most important thing is to make sure he doesn't cause any trouble for our work or the world."

"He will not."

Xia Yue said firmly.

"My dear, this is not your decision. My colleagues worked all night collecting those broken bodies."

Lin Ze looked at Li Muhan.

"Can you tell me, are you a native demon, or a possessed human?"

"...At least according to my memory, I should be human."

Li Muhan said.

Lin Ze nodded, then stood up and walked in front of Li Muhan.

Xia Yue was about to say something when Li Muhan raised his hand and shook his head at her.

He could see that this woman named Lin Ze had no ill will towards him, and seemed to have a good relationship with Xia Yue. Instead of letting them conflict here, it would be better to see what Lin Ze wanted to do first.

"Good boy, you are so sensible."

Seeing Li Muhan stopping Xia Yue, Lin Ze smiled slightly, then raised his hand, took off his gloves, and touched Li Muhan's chest.

Li Muhan didn't make any movement, just let the other person feel his heartbeat quietly.

"This power...hmm..."

Lin Ze frowned slightly, which made Li Muhan swallow nervously.

But after a moment, Lin Ze's face was replaced with that indifferent smile again.

"Tell me, what did that demon say to you? Are you still on the side of humans?"

"...He barely spoke to me. Am I still human now?"

Lin Ze looked into Li Muhan's eyes and said.

"We don't know yet, it remains to be seen."

Finally, Lin Ze seemed tired of this confrontation, and she sighed and said.

"But you did kill someone after all, so...friend or foe, choose."

Li Muhan finally felt a sense of reality at this moment.

The real feeling of killing someone.

But despite this, he should have been acting in self-defense. No, his head was smashed, which could be considered as the other party killing first. Why should he still be held responsible?

"...Whatever you want to do, I hope I can have a chance to refute it. Aren't you a state agency? Regarding what happened last night, I feel..."

Phew——

Before Li Muhan finished speaking, Lin Ze couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry, I was just teasing you. You didn't really think we'd care about upstarts like the Zhao family, did you? It's better to say the fewer upstarts who commit such evil deeds, the better. Alas, they're also big taxpayers. So, as the Deputy Director, I still have to ask you this. Don't worry, I won't pursue the people you... or the demon inside you, killed. The Special Management Bureau isn't bothered to investigate either."

Seeing that Li Muhan didn't say anything, Lin Ze continued to talk to himself: "You have a powerful force in your body that you don't even understand, and this force... needs to be guided."

Lin Ze's smiling face suddenly became a little scary at this moment, which made Li Muhan feel a little scared.

"Do you know where the power in me comes from?"

Li Muhan asked, and the woman in front of him moved closer and looked at Li Muhan carefully, until Xia Yue angrily pulled Lin Ze away from Li Muhan.

She smiled and shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but China isn't home to many demons, and the Special Management Bureau has rarely taken in any demons, so I don't know the condition of your body. But I can guarantee you one thing: if you don't learn how to control this power, it's only a matter of time before this demon takes over your body."

Li Muhan was silent. Indeed, he only vaguely remembered what happened last night.

If using power will result in one being replaced by a monster, then this power cannot be said to be one's own, and one himself is nothing more than a tool of the monster.

She was right that I needed guidance and learning, but...

How can I trust this person I just met?

"I don't intend to become anyone's puppet or slave, whether it's the demon in my body or your so-called Special Management Bureau."

Li Mu said this coldly. He was testing the other party and wanted to know what he could do for him.

But Lin Ze didn't seem to intend to reveal more, at least at this stage.

"You don't need to be our slave. We can be partners. Of course, if you can kill me, everything I said before is bullshit. You can do whatever you want and you don't need others to guide you. After all, you have power, and those who have power have all the say."

Lin Ze has been emphasizing strength to Li Muhan, and Li Muhan seems to understand the hidden meaning in her words.

What I mean is that you are very powerful, but you don’t know how to control it. I, and the Special Management Bureau behind me, can help you.

Li Muhan looked at the woman in front of him. Although she was petite, she gave him an extremely oppressive feeling.

"But...I'm very strong."

Seeing Li Muhan standing there without any movement, Lin Ze returned to her indifferent smile. She saw the confusion in Li Muhan's eyes, so she decided to give the young man some time.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I can say that the Special Management Bureau is the best destination for you right now. Of course, this is just a suggestion. We won't force you to join us."

After saying that, Lin Ze wiped his fingers that had just put out the cigarette with the tissue on the table and walked to the door.

"Three days to think about it, to think it over carefully. It won't do you any harm."

After saying that, he closed the door and left.
