Ye Xiao decisively rejected it.

Work was strictly prohibited during off-duty hours.

That was the bottom line of a relaxation enthusiast.

“A new seafood buffet opened in the city center. 581 people, eat until you’re full! My treat.”

“Wait for me for ten minutes.”

Ye Xiao put down his chopsticks, got up, and left.

Although the bottom line was needed, he could not persist too much. That would be letting down his stomach.

“Huh?”

“Mr. Ye, you’ve only eaten a few mouthfuls and you’re not eating anymore?”

“I’m not eating anymore. I’m in a hurry.”

…

Ten minutes later, Ye Xiao brought the book and arrived at the garrison team.

Gu Hai was already wearing the uniform of the garrison team.

“I didn’t expect you to look so manly in this outfit.”

“That’s for sure. Don’t you know who I am?”

“Aren’t you supposed to start work tomorrow? Why are you wearing your uniform today?”

“I just got it. My father-in-law took care of everything and just completed the documents. He also gave me the uniform of the garrison team. Oh right, did you bring the book?”

“I did.”

Ye Xiao passed all the information he had collected on star beasts to Gu Hai.

“Good, let’s go. Follow me to deliver the book. Then, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Ye Xiao nodded and followed Gu Hai into the garrison team.

…

“We’re both men. Why did you touch me?”

“I’m just having fun!”

“What fun? We’re not that close.”

…

The garrison team was still as messy as ever. There were constantly all kinds of strange things as if they would never stop appearing.

Ye Xiao and Gu Hai walked in front of Mr. Lu.

“Dad, this is the information you asked for.”

“Yes! Put it there. Ye Xiao is here too?”

Ye Xiao called out, “Hello, Uncle Lu.” Mr. Lu nodded, took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, and put it into the ashtray to extinguish it.

Gu Hai followed closely behind and whispered,

“Then… Dad, if there’s nothing else, we’ll go back first.”

“Go on, don’t forget to come to work on time tomorrow. If you dare be late, I’ll kick you to death.”

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t embarrass you.”

“Go home early, don’t stay out too late. It’s not safe to walk alone at night.”

“I know, I’ll just go have a meal with Ye Xiao.”

The two bade Mr. Lu farewell and immediately walked out.

Ye Xiao’s spiritual energy swept across the entire garrison team, but he did not sense anything unusual. He could not help but ask,

“What do you want information on the star beasts for?”

Gu Hai’s expression was somewhat solemn.

“Recently, there have been a lot of incidents of people hurting others in our Jianghai city. It’s a little strange. They just captured a few more and locked them in the sealed cabin outside.”

“What does the matter of people hurting each other have to do with the star beasts?”

“Normally, it definitely doesn’t, but this incident definitely has something to do with them. Between them, if someone was bitten, it would not be long before the person who was bitten began biting others.

“Do you think that this kind of situation is man-made?”

Ye Xiao could not help but feel a little strange. Why did it sound like Resident Evil?

When he passed by the sealed cabin in the garrison’s courtyard, Ye Xiao used the Big Dipper’s Grand Mystery to scan the prisoners caught inside.

A few prisoners were unconscious in their respective sealed cabins. They seemed to have been injected with tranquilizers, so they were all resting for a while.
