White Bone Evolution Guide

Chapter 40 The world has finally gone mad to the point that even the White Bone Demon wouldn't

Besides maintaining order, there were also many volunteers clearing snow from the streets.

There are still plenty of mosquitoes, even in the dead of winter, they haven't decreased at all.

The White Bone Demon turned until ten o'clock, then prepared to go home for dinner.

As soon as I returned to the neighborhood, I saw a group of people shoveling snow, including Gu Xiaojiao and Magan.

Besides them, there were two security guards and a group of people dressed in prison uniforms, clearing snow with tools.

"Have all the people who were locked up been brought out?"

Gu Bai muttered to himself, preparing to bypass Gu Xiaojiao and go home, too lazy to bother with this guy.

Old Qin, the gatekeeper, sat on a stone bench outside, holding a piece of paper in his hand. His eyes were red, and he wiped them from the corners of his eyes from time to time.

"Uncle Qin, what trouble have you encountered?" The heartless but kind-hearted White Bone Demon asked with concern.

"It's Xiao Gu." Old Master Qin wiped away his tears, reached for a cigarette, then put it back, sighing heavily, "Sigh."

Gu Bai frowned: "What happened? Did your wife go square dancing with some people?"

"My wife passed away a long time ago." Grandpa Qin wiped away his tears again and handed him the tissue. "My life has been so hard."

"Brother Bai." Gu Xiaojiao, who was shoveling snow, heard the voice, grabbed a bag from the side, and jogged over.

"What are you doing here?" the White Bone Demon asked disdainfully, her gaze falling on the paper.

Diagnostic certificate from the New District Hospital?

Early stage of rectal cancer?

This……

The White Bone Demon didn't know how to persuade her.

Gu Xiaojiao lit a cigarette and handed one to Grandpa Qin.

Grandpa Qin glared at him: "Do you think I'd still dare to smoke? The doctor said I'm too old to have surgery and only have five years to live. Besides, I'm about to be fired and will lose my job. Once I lose my job, I'll starve to death in a year, let alone five years."

"How old are you, sir?" Gu Xiaojiao asked.

"I'm seventy-six." Grandpa Qin wiped away his tears.

Gu Xiaojiao then asked, "How many years can one live without illness?"

"What do you mean?" Old Master Qin said angrily.

Gu Bai said in a low voice, "Say less. Do you even know how to comfort people?"

Gu Xiaojiao didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all: "It's rare for someone to live to seventy, so in five years he'll be eighty-one. It's a happy funeral. If it happened to my grandpa, he would be laughing his head off."

"Your grandpa?"

"My grandfather passed away at the age of sixty-one. He didn't smoke or drink, and he spent his days studying health preservation."

Gu Xiaojiao lit a cigarette: "I'm already incredibly lucky to have lived to your age. If you add this diagnosis certificate to that, I wonder how wonderful your later years will be. You won't even shed a tear!"

Gu Bai and Grandpa Qin were both stunned: "You call this beautiful? The property management will definitely not keep me; they'll fire me."

"Why aren't you beautiful? You're seventy-six years old. The police usually don't bother with you, and with that cancer report, you're practically an aging emperor wielding a cancer-fighting imperial weapon. Who would dare mess with you?"

Gu Xiaojiao curled his lip and said, "Fire you? If I were you, I'd go find the property manager right now and ask for a thousand yuan more in salary. If they don't, I'll go die at their house."

Gu Bai: "??"

An aging emperor, carrying the Emperor's weapon of cancer?

What kind of brain circuit is this?

Grandpa Qin was stunned: "This...this can cost extra?"

"Why not? With an ancestor like you sitting in charge of this neighborhood, who would dare to touch you? They'd be extorted to death."

Gu Xiaojiao pulled Qin Daye along: "Come on, light a cigarette. I'll go with you to find the manager. You're the Forbidden Ancient God, the Twilight Emperor. He'd be begging you to stay."

Grandpa Qin unconsciously took a puff of his cigarette and followed along without thinking.

After half an hour.

Old Qin spat as he counted his money, and also swiped two packs of cigarettes from the manager.

Grandpa Qin no longer had any worries and was more open-minded than the young people.

With a cigarette dangling from his lips, legs crossed, and a thermos flask sipping hot water.

gorgeous.

Gu Xiaojiao squatted to the side, smoking Grandpa Qin's cigarette, occasionally pointing at the snow shovelers and giving them a few instructions.

The world has finally gone mad to the point that even the White Bone Demon wouldn't recognize it.

"Is this still the same world?" The White Bone Demon was filled with deep doubt. Had she transmigrated again?

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai."

Gu Xiaojiao slapped his thigh and quickly came over with the bag: "Your certificate of merit and banner."

"A certificate? A banner?"

Gu Bai was taken aback: "I stopped going to school a long time ago?"

"Given by the Public Security Bureau, look, city hero, good citizen, meritorious contributor to people's livelihood, moral exemplar?"

Looking at the banner and three certificates, Gu Bai was stunned.

For him?

Wow, I, the White Bone Demon, have become a certified good citizen by the Public Security Bureau? Hero, meritorious official, moral exemplar!

Hey, if our kind of people knew this, wouldn't they laugh themselves to death?

"Aunt Qin and Li Qingfeng brought these over. Since you weren't home, they gave them to me and told me to wait for you to come back," Gu Xiaojiao said. "Should I stick them on your door for you?"

The White Bone Demon was delighted: "Put it on, it must be put on!"

After bringing Gu Xiaojiao home, the guy had already prepared the glue: "Brother Bai, shall we stick it in the living room?"

"No respectable person would put that in their living room."

"Where should I put it?"

"Of course we'll put it on the door! Who'll see it if we put it in the living room?"

"That makes sense, Brother Bai is particular."

Soon, three certificates of merit were pasted on the door. The banner was not easy to hang, as it was worried that it would be blown away by the wind, so it could only be hung at home.

Gu Bai was very satisfied. With this storefront, who would doubt that the White Bone Demon lived inside?

"Brother Bai, I'll be going now. There are people waiting for me outside..."

"Wait a minute, who told you to tell Li Qingfeng last night that the new district is mine? When did I become so powerful?" Gu Bai finally remembered to ask him a question.

Gu Xiaojiao scratched his head: "I can't do anything about it. Lao Guo was detained yesterday too. Zhang Yu and the others called, but Li Qingfeng didn't believe them. Later, Zhang Yu said he definitely wanted to find you."

"Li Qingfeng said he'd never heard of you before, and you're not from the Public Security Bureau, so I can only exaggerate your abilities."

As soon as I told him you had connections and influence, and that the new district was yours, he immediately had me call you.

Gu Bai glanced at him: "What's wrong with Li Qingfeng? Besides his mother, is there no one who can handle him?"

"It can be cured, but he doesn't believe it," Gu Xiaojiao said. "A lot of things have happened in the city, and he often gets calls from people impersonating various identities."

"Really? Who's so bold? Even scammers don't operate like this!" Gu Bai asked curiously.

"It's weird," Gu Xiaojiao sighed. "They tracked the signal and came to the new district, where they caught a corpse making a phone call that could even mimic other people's voices."

"So, Li Qingfeng didn't believe it at all. He was suspicious and asked people to see him, but the police station was too busy to send anyone."

"Then why didn't he come to my door?"

"Last night, their men were still searching for the remaining bodies that had escaped. They didn't dare to wander around, fearing it might be a trap to lure us away from our base."

Gu Xiaojiao said helplessly, "Our plan failed yesterday too; we alerted the enemy."

"To stir up trouble?"

"Yes, we originally planned to infiltrate their ranks and use a long-term strategy to catch a big fish," Gu Xiaojiao said.

"How can they infiltrate the enemy's ranks? How can they play the long game?"

"This time the monster is very different. It is learning about our way of life and studying our technological products, but it is obviously not yet familiar enough."

It controls empty shells of corpses, devoid of thought and memory. If one were to appear that could guide it to understand the world, it might very well succeed.

Gu Xiaojiao said, "We had already met, and I was about to start making contact when Li Qingfeng suddenly barged in and ruined everything."

"What about the hemp stalk?"

"You really know him? He's utterly despicable."

"Now that we've failed, doesn't that mean we've lost all leads?"

"No, snakes have their own way, and rats have theirs. Since it's mingling in the rat's world, it should just go there."

"Didn't we clean it last night?"

"Hey, Brother Bai, don't underestimate us. You have high standards and can't see this stuff, but for us with low standards, we can sweep up a whole bunch of them."

"You're pretty smug, get lost."
