Dark-colored Fairy Tale: Seven Magicians - Chapter 37
Chapter 37
The late-night wind howled on the rooftop, but it couldn’t blow away the miserable feelings of the two agents.
Ergouzi lay on the edge of the rooftop, tears streaming down his face.
“Boss, how could you leave like that? How could you just abandon the two of us!”
Erzhuzi was more rational. He quickly ran to the edge of the balcony and saw his director dangling in mid-air.
Looking at his helpless, soon-to-be-forsaken director, Erzhuzi’s mind became active. If he saved the director now, wouldn’t his promotion, salary increase, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman, and becoming a CEO be easy?
Feeling great in his heart, Erzhuzi didn’t tell Ergouzi about this. He quietly tied the safety rope to himself and prepared to go down and rescue the director!
The director, who had been hoping that his two team members on the roof would notice the anomaly and rescue him, saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes when he heard the commotion upstairs.
Then, he looked up, and a butt landed directly on his face.
Director: Fck you! Fck you! You know what?!
Erzhuzi was completely oblivious. He was still immersed in his beautiful dream, and drool was even hanging from the corner of his mouth.
The director’s mind was on the verge of collapse. I won’t mind you sitting on my face, but can you please move your butt now?!
However, things didn’t go as planned. With Erzhuzi’s IQ, he didn’t notice anything was wrong until the director couldn’t take it anymore and used all his strength to pinch Erzhuzi’s thigh.
It was only then that Erzhuzi let out a scream, wiggled his butt, and fell from the director’s face.
The director didn’t want to talk; he just wanted some peace and quiet.
Chloe watched the absurd play of the two people in front of her without any reaction. It was only when Erzhuzi was about to let out a howl that she thrust a spear into his throat.
This forced Erzhuzi to swallow that weird scream.
Ergouzi was still wailing on the roof, but he suddenly found that his companion, who had been wailing with him, was gone. He looked around and saw a rope where the director had been hanging.
He thought that Erzhuzi must have gone to retrieve the director’s body, so he quickly took out a safety rope, fastened it to his waist, and decided to do a sprint of love!
Downstairs, Chloe, who had seen two people sneaking in yesterday, asked them coldly.
“Who are you two? Were you the two who came yesterday?”
The director was stunned at first, then overjoyed. So Chloe doesn’t know there are three of them. Then she quickly nodded, admitting there were only two of them.
“That’s right. It was the two of us last night.”
“As for the purpose…” The director paused. I want to say more to stall for time. I hope Ergouzi can be a little smarter, notice that something’s wrong here, and go get reinforcements.
Unfortunately, the director overestimated Ergouzi’s IQ.
The moment he told Chloe there were only two of them, Ergouzi dropped from the sky, completely ruining the atmosphere that could have led to a negotiation between the three of them.
Chloe looked at the oblivious Ergouzi and clicked her tongue. Looking at the howling cold wind outside, she spoke.
“It seems you guys really like hanging outside the window. In that case, you can hang there for the night.”
With that, Chloe pulled out a bunch of ropes from who-knows-where and tied the three of them up like silkworms, hanging them outside the window.
Originally, Chloe had planned to hang them for an hour and then let them go.
However, the director spoke.
“You little girl, do you know who we are? If you dare to hang us here, you’ll be locked up tomorrow.”
As the host of one of the seven ancient sacrifices, Chloe had never been treated like this before. If it had been in the past, Chloe wouldn’t have cared about this group’s arrogant words.
But, she had been led astray by Liu Menglu for a while.
So, Chloe, who hadn’t intended to hold a grudge against them, pulled out a talisman from her hand. This talisman was from Yang Shishi.
It wasn’t very powerful, but it was great for pranks.
After all, the main characteristic of the sin of pride was not allowing anyone to belittle oneself.
So Chloe didn’t think she did anything wrong. Instead, she felt she was just experiencing the sin.
And so, the three people hanging there suffered~
The residents in the surrounding area seemed to have heard some screams, but they were quickly ignored due to other matters.
This was also considered a magical being’s privilege.
…
The next day, when Liu Menglu came out of her room, still half-asleep, she saw a similarly listless Chloe.
“Were you a thief last night? Why do you look so tired?” Liu Menglu asked with concern.
Chloe just shook her head. She had intended to explain, but she felt this was a good time to try out sloth. So, Chloe chose to stay silent.
Fortunately, Liu Menglu was used to Chloe’s cold and distant demeanor.
She shrugged her shoulders, didn’t pry any further, made breakfast, and then pulled Chloe to school.
At the same time, the fact that Director No. 11 had been trying to hide Chloe’s intrusion was finally discovered by a higher-up.
The director and his two subordinates stood miserably in front of the big boss of the Chinese Special Security Bureau and recounted what had happened over the past two days.
“You’re saying that she entered China a week ago, or even earlier, and you didn’t get any information?” a low male voice sounded, followed by the sound of a chair turning.
The director was a little cowardly. He lowered his head and shrank his body, not daring to look directly at the gaze from above. He kept smiling in a timid way.
The two clowns from yesterday could only shiver and remain silent under the big boss’s imposing aura.
Looking at the three useless men, Li Li’s lips twitched. His square, serious face was filled with speechlessness.
Even though I look a little intimidating, do they have to be so scared? My subordinates are like this, and my daughter is like this, too. Should I get plastic surgery someday to look friendlier?
Thinking of how he used to try to comfort those who were about to become corrupted, but instead of having a positive effect, he just accelerated their corruption, Li Li felt a headache.
However, this matter was indeed important. A foreign magical being had illegally entered the country. Who knew if she was here to travel or to cause trouble?
But as a country of etiquette, Li Li felt that he should not use any forceful means. So, after having the director and his men leave, he called in his capable subordinates.
Looking at his subordinates, who were eight feet tall and had faces like the black god, Li Li smiled. “Do you know that a foreign magical being has recently infiltrated China?”
The two subordinates looked at their boss’s “terrifying” eyes, and with a smack, they knelt on one knee and said in unison, “Don’t worry, boss. We’ll solve this perfectly.”
Li Li gave a “fierce and terrifying” smile. “I’ve always trusted you two to get things done. Be careful and make it a clean job.”
Hearing this, the two big men looked at each other. “Got it, boss. We guarantee a clean and efficient completion of the mission!”
Li Li listened and smiled with satisfaction. They are indeed my old subordinates who have worked with me for many years. Look at their synergy.
After they respectfully invite that illegally-entered magical being, I’ll see what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will say about me being a brute who causes diplomatic incidents!
