Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2020: Chapter 2017: The City Lord’s Difficulties

"Nine levels, over eighty thousand volumes, you might as well have recorded the ancestors of Yin Department’s eighteen generations." Lin Tian was speechless.

Lord Zhu shrugged, gloatingly said, "Can’t rule out that possibility."

"The Human Realm is already using computers for work, can’t you guys get a few computers to input the data? A search on a computer, and the information comes out; the efficiency is so high." Lin Tian looked down on them, thinking the grand Netherworld was still using such primitive recording methods.

Lord Zhu wasn’t embarrassed at all, confidently said, "The Human Realm’s computers, right, I know those things, record things fast, store a lot; one computer can compile all the materials in this building."

Then, his tone changed: "But why should I use that, get a computer, and then I have to hire a computer technician, why bring trouble onto myself."

Such ghost logic that Lin Tian was left speechless.

Lord Zhu patted Lin Tian’s shoulder, relaxed, said, "Honestly, once registered in the record, it’s rarely consulted, so we don’t need those things of yours. Stop overthinking, just rely on your hardworking hands, slowly flip through, I’ll give you three days."

"Three days?" Mu Yun frowned, appearing unhappy: "Lord Zhu, not to mention three days, even in six days, we won’t finish reviewing these materials!"

Lord Zhu smiled, casually said, "That depends on your skills, allowing you to consult is already bending the rules; if you linger in the storeroom too long, it’ll attract attention from above, which isn’t good for anyone. Mu Yun Envoy, you can help them review, it might speed things up, maybe with luck, you won’t need to see every record."

"I..." Mu Yun hesitated, quite awkward: "I’m fine with fighting a thousand evil spirits, but don’t ask me to read, reading gives me a headache, let alone tens of thousands of volumes."

"Then that’s your business; this kind of rule-breaking, I can’t allocate more manpower, start now, don’t waste time." Lord Zhu waved his hand and walked out.

"Only three days, how to check?" Mu Yun looked at Lin Tian and the other two, helpless.

Lin Tian smiled, walked into the building, speaking as he walked, "Just check how you need to check."

Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan also went inside, beginning to flip through; the two were academic elites, naturally reading speed wasn’t slow, but even at their fastest, they had to go page by page, quite insignificant against the entire library of records.

As for Lin Tian, after entering the building, he just looked around everywhere without flipping records. Mu Yun followed him, puzzled, not knowing what he was up to.

Lin Tian suddenly stopped, turned around, Mu Yun, preoccupied with thoughts, didn’t notice and bumped into Lin Tian’s arms. However, this female yaksha was formidable, her face neither red nor breath short, just calmly retreated a few steps.

Lin Tian again caught that special fragrance on Mu Yun, couldn’t help but take a few more breaths, smiling, said: "Mu Yun Envoy, would you like to do some labor with me?"

"Pervert, lecher." Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan heard Lin Tian’s words, cursing in unison.

Mu Yun, however, seriously asked, "How?"

Lin Tian ignored the mutterings of the two little girls, saying to Mu Yun, "I handle the reviewing, you help me bring over the books, how about it?"

"No problem." Mu Yun readily agreed.

Lin Tian chose a spot to sit, Mu Yun had already brought a stack of records over, a full fifty books, the Yaksha Clan is indeed remarkable, their strength is great.

Mu Yun thought fifty books would be enough for Lin Tian to look at for a while, so she stood still, waiting for him to finish before bringing more over. But the next second, she widened her eyes.

Lin Tian picked up a record, his fingers flipped through the pages with a flurry of dense sounds, a book was finished in the blink of an eye, then he tossed it aside.

"You... finished reading?" Mu Yun’s eyes widened, clearly not believing.

Without turning his head, Lin Tian picked up a book, casually said, "Page twenty-nine, Ji Yingwei, Ghost Gate’s Deputy Commander, once served as a Soul Hooker."

Mu Yun froze, then took that record and turned to page twenty-nine, looking carefully, it was indeed Ji Yingwei’s identity information recorded.

Must be a coincidence, Mu Yun steadied herself, thinking that flipping through a book like that, how could he see the record contents.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Lin Tian tossed the book in his hand, calmly said, "Page eighteen, Sang Yuan, Soul Hooker..."

Before Lin Tian finished, Mu Yun quickly took the record again and flipped to the designated page number, where Sang Yuan’s information was indeed recorded. She just happened to know this Sang Yuan, who used to be her subordinate.

After hitting two in a row, Mu Yun was a bit surprised, but she still wanted to verify once more, closing the record, without looking, then said to Lin Tian, "In this record, what is the name of the fifth Yin Department member from the bottom?"

"Ji Yong, Ghost Gate Captain." Lin Tian slightly raised his head, looked at Mu Yun.

Mu Yun saw, in Lin Tian’s dark eyes, filled with confident light. She quickly opened the book, counting from the back, the fifth one was... Ji Yong!

He got it right again, and this time it was a random pick, even she hadn’t looked. She was completely astounded now, what kind of person reads this fast? When did zombies get this ability?

What shocked her even more was that Lin Tian not only read quickly but also had perfect recall! She even had the odd thought, was Lin Tian once a roster-specialized Yin Division, otherwise how could he remember so fast.

But she quickly dismissed the thought because, even as a roster-specialized Yin, it was impossible to completely remember the contents of these records. Except for Ksitigarbha and the Netherworld King, the two sovereigns of boundless mana in the Netherworld, no one could achieve that.

Several thoughts turned over in her mind, Mu Yun came to her senses, then noticed Lin Tian was staring at her.

"Mu Yun Envoy, you can continue." Lin Tian smiled, Mu Yun turned to look, a pile of records had already accumulated beside him, all fifty books were read.

"Impressive," Mu Yun sincerely said, she particularly disliked reading, so she greatly admired Lin Tian’s reading speed.

"All of these are yours." Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu had walked over at some point, each placing down a stack of records.

Apparently, the two little girls also gave up on reading page by page, so they joined Lin Tian’s "labor task."

Lin Tian was in charge of reading, three beauties were responsible for carrying books. It was said the most beautiful thing about reading is a red sleeve with added fragrance, a delicate hand, burning a furnace of elegant incense, dazzling the night time.

Yet here, Lin Tian had three beauties, serving him while he read.

Meanwhile, in the conference hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Lord Zhu and Hei Xin sat in positions of power and subordination, Hei Xin raising his brows said, "Lord Zhu, you’ve vented your anger this time, those young ones reading the records will wear themselves out, but dragging an extra day, the passage remains open for another day, which is not advantageous for us."

Lord Zhu squinted his eyes, coldly said, "Within ten miles of the passage, I’ve already ordered it to be sealed off, a delay for a few days is fine."
