Chapter 74: Departure
Hearing Yu Sheng’s muttering, Bai Li Qing’s expression flickered briefly, but she didn’t say anything. She merely watched the man across from her with a curious gaze. Answering questions or helping with minor problems was secondary; today, the most important thing was the “contact” itself.
She had encountered many, many entities—all sorts of them. She had killed some, exiled others, and even talked or collaborated with those that were rational. She had deceived them and been deceived by them. But no entity—not even those most resembling humans—had ever sat across from her and talked like this, in such a way and about these sorts of things.
The “person” sitting in front of her even seemed interested in becoming a Spirit Realm detective or investigator. Pushing her thoughts aside, Bai Li Qing broke the silence: “So, you want to…”
“Can I register a group?” Yu Sheng asked with a hopeful look, “I’m not working solo here; there are two others with me.”
“You mean that doll named Irene and the ‘fox demon’ you brought from the Otherworld?” Bai Li Qing raised an eyebrow. “But neither of them has legal status in the Borderland.”
“Then how about we get them IDs first?” Yu Sheng suggested, scratching his head. “Ah, it won’t be a whole mess where you need a job to get an ID and an ID to get a job, will it?”
Bai Li Qing blinked, genuinely taken aback. “Of course not. Why would you even worry about that?”
“Oh, good,” Yu Sheng smiled awkwardly, “Guess I was overthinking it.”
“I’ll make the arrangements,” Bai Li Qing added without much thought, mentally noting down that “Yu Sheng has a certain sense of humor.” She then raised her wrist to glance at her watch. “Time’s up.”
