Chapter 12 Qin Nan and Little Gray
Qin Nan was very unhappy today.
This is the seventh time she has taken leave this month. These days, jobs are not easy to find, let alone for someone her age.
Taking a day off means losing a day's pay, and there are only four days off a month. Taking more than that will result in a deduction in pay. Her internship salary was already low, and this month has made things even worse for her already struggling family.
"They're really squeezing money out of me. I can't even find a stable job these days. If this keeps up, I won't be able to pay my rent anymore."
"Hehe, Sister Nan, don't be angry. We still have some extra income, don't we?"
In a corner where no one was paying attention, the cockatiel spoke softly.
"Extra income? You have the nerve to say that!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because as soon as Qin Nan heard the parrot's words, he immediately bristled.
"How did you manage to fool me back then? You promised to maintain peace and save the world, and then you could get compensation from the victims. And what happened? Last time I took three days off in a row to finally save someone, but that guy ended up worse off than me. His wife left him, and he lost his job!"
"Well"
"And the time before that, that old lady was very grateful and treated me very well. But then her husband got sick and was hospitalized. Not only did I not receive a penny of compensation, but I also had to pay half a month's salary out of my own pocket!"
"."
A human-like embarrassment appeared on the cockatiel's face.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and spoke up righteously.
"But you gained happiness and gratitude, things that money can't buy!"
"Fuck you!"
Qin Nan slapped himself on the shoulder. Luckily, the parrot dodged quickly, or he would have been doomed.
"You can't help with anything, all you do is use PUA tactics on me. If this keeps up, you won't even be able to afford bird food, you know? Let me tell you, if you can't pay your rent, I'll be the first to stew you."
The gray parrot circled in the air once, then flew back to Qin Nan's shoulder, giving a sheepish laugh. "Don't worry, I've checked this time; that guy is definitely rich."
"Are you sure?" Qin Nan raised an eyebrow, a hint of threat in her eyes.
"I wouldn't dare lie to you, sister!" The cockatiel flapped its wings, looking like a lackey. "I've done my research. That person is a senior executive in the group, with an annual salary starting at seven figures."
"Seven figures!?"
Qin Nan's eyes widened, and then a mischievous smile quickly appeared on his face.
"That's more like it. If I pull this off, I'll never have to worry about food or drink again, hehehe~"
"Sister Nan, we're here to save people, why are you smiling like a villain?" the parrot muttered weakly, only to be met with a glare from Qin Nan.
"Stop talking nonsense and explain the situation clearly. Once it's settled, I'll calculate how much I should ask that tycoon for."
"Okay."
The grey parrot leaned closer and whispered.
"That executive is middle-aged, and there's no room for advancement left. He chose the wrong side early on, and all his subordinates have been 'optimized' out. Recently, he offended someone on the board of directors, and I heard he's been set up and might even face a lawsuit."
"And then he was targeted by the heretical demons?"
"Sister Nan, as you know, those heretical demons love this kind of negative energy the most. Continuous attacks plus long-term pressure, those vicious emotions are enough for them to eat for several months."
Hearing this, Qin Nan also curled her lip. "That's why I don't want to work in a place like this. What's the point of earning a lot? You still have to scheme against each other every day. Working here is like a palace intrigue."
"Oh, right," Qin Nan suddenly changed the subject mid-sentence. "Little Grey, have you noticed someone watching us?"
"Whenever I go out with you, am I never the coolest guy on the street?"
"That's not what I meant." Qin Nan didn't argue with Xiao Hui, but instead frowned deeply. "I have a feeling that someone is watching me, with ill intentions."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the gray parrot paused for a moment, then raised its head and looked around, its small eyes constantly scanning its surroundings.
Aside from a few curious glances from passersby, there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
"You must be mistaken, Sister Nan. I didn't feel anything."
Seeing Xiao Hui's words, Qin Nan remained silent for a while before also rubbing her hair. "Am I being too sensitive?"
Before she could figure it out, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
Upon hearing the noise, Qin Nan and Xiao Hui simultaneously turned their gaze toward the source of the sound.
Immediately, a middle-aged man in a suit was seen striding towards the company through the main entrance of the building.
"Sister Nan, it's him!" the parrot couldn't help but exclaim.
The latest novel is first published here!
Qin Nan's heart stirred, and she was about to take a step to approach the other person, but she stopped the next moment, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Hurry up, sis, he'll be inside if we don't go soon."
Hearing Xiao Hui's urging, Qin Nan frowned. "Don't make a sound, look into his eyes."
"What's wrong with your eyes? Hmm?!"
Xiao Hui turned his attention to the middle-aged man with a puzzled look. The next second, he saw black energy flickering slightly in the man's eyes.
"That's... the power of the heretical demons?"
The middle-aged man's hair was neatly combed. His face looked slightly weathered, and his cheeks were somewhat thin, but his mental state was surprisingly good, and he walked with a steady and composed gait.
Although he looked no different from a normal person, Qin Nan keenly noticed his eyes, which were like a deep pool, filled with an emotionless darkness that she was all too familiar with.
Even if it only lasted for a brief moment, that power was very real.
"Damn it, this guy has already been possessed by a heretic demon. I didn't expect it to be so fast. Am I still a step too late?" Little Gray looked somewhat indignant.
Qin Nan's eyes turned completely cold.
This wasn't the first time she'd seen humans possessed by heretical demons. Those monsters, born from negative energy, liked to possess humans and then use their bodies to kill more people.
However, in general, people who are possessed usually start by targeting their relatives and friends. This is the first time Qin Nan has seen a possessed person walking in the sunlight.
Little Gray was still muttering when he suddenly paused, "Wait a minute, if this guy's possessed, what's he doing at the company?"
Qin Nan suddenly realized something, and her expression instantly froze.
"Oh no!"
She couldn't sit still any longer and ran straight towards the main entrance of the building, shaking Little Grey into the air with a jerk of her shoulder.
"Little Grey, watch him from outside the building and see how many floors he goes up. I'm going to chase after him."
"learn--"
The gray parrot knew the situation was urgent, so it spread its wings and took off, flying high into the sky.
