Chapter 94 Heping Street Sub-district Office (2)

Luo Qi followed Du Zhengyi into the lobby of the sub-district office. The size of the lobby is not cramped. If this is really a sub-district office, it can accommodate about 100 people waiting to handle business.But most of the old houses have the problem of not being too tall, and the place here is also low, which is a bit depressing.Not to mention that the office itself was opened in a tree hole, and the sycamore tree outside the window blocked a lot of sunlight and made the place even darker.

There is also a row of office counters in the middle of the hall. The walls are painted red in imitation of human preferences, and a few golden characters are pasted on them: Heping Street Government Affairs Service Center.

There are about ten seats behind the counter, which can accommodate ten staff members handling business for customers at the same time.But Roach suspected that it was a human configuration, and few mages would come to the office together.The counter didn't fully imitate human behavior. If he planned it, he would put ten computers on the office counter.

Now, sitting behind the counter is just a young girl with neat bangs and shoulder-length hair, wearing a houndstooth blazer.Hearing them come in, she raised her eyes and looked at them wearily.

Du Zhengyi walked straight to her side, and she smiled professionally at Du Zhengyi without any enthusiasm, "Sir, you must have made a mistake."

The girl glanced at Roach next to him impatiently. Roach saw that her eyes were a little light, her nose bridge was also very slender, her chin was sharp, and her cheekbones were so sharp that they could cut the hand that caressed her face.

"Probably not." Du Zhengyi said, "I didn't navigate here by electronic map."

"I said you went wrong," the girl said, with a smirk. "You just went wrong."

Roach glanced at her again, worried that Du Zheng would lose patience with her in a while.However, Du Zhengyi just stretched out his right hand, and a cluster of flames ignited from his palm, his voice was still gentle, "Can I trouble you to check the record of appointment visits?"

The girl's expression became clear, but she wasn't happy either.She pulled a face, and pulled a thick notebook from the side.Luo Qi was a little puzzled. The front desk personnel in the mage's office couldn't even tell the difference between a human and a mage because of their magical ability. How depressed the place is usually to hire such a person.If you look at it this way, he can also find a mindless job in the wizarding world.

Thinking of this, Roach couldn't help being stunned, this is an idea he has always been used to.Admitting that he is incompetent, and thinking about the future all the time, he can hardly remember that he is no longer the original Roach.His little black cat purred softly in his pocket, and he reached into his pocket to stroke the cat's back reassuringly.

In the waiting area of ​​the lobby, there are dozens of plastic chairs, with only one couple sitting on them.Luo Qi looked over subconsciously. They looked like mages in terms of body shape, with the same slender figure, and they were getting close to each other and talking softly at the moment.Don't know what they are waiting to do.

There are really not many things that Luo Qi can think of that need to be handled at the office. Generally, mages will only come to the office to appeal when they think that the credit points they have obtained in exchange for the services they provide for Qionglin are not accurate.However, mages can move very conveniently. If they are not particularly poor, most of them will take the Pendragon track and go directly to Qionglin to handle errands, where the efficiency is higher.He observed the young couple curiously. They looked healthy and smart, and they really didn't look like they were poor and needed to wait for the process in the office.

Suddenly, Du Zhengyi reached out and touched his arm, asking him in a low voice to sit on the chair in the waiting area and wait for him.Luo Qi was taken aback, recovered his senses and nodded, watching Du Zhengyi walking towards the corridor next to the office area, he ignored the front desk lady's eyes, took a piece of mint from the counter, and walked towards the waiting area past.At some point, two migrant workers sat on the concrete steps at the door. When Roach sat down on the cheap plastic chair, he thought that when he walked over, he didn't remember seeing other people in this tree hole.

Roach looked at the mints in his hand, it was the cheapest circle, he threw the mints up, and took them back in his hand.The couple next to him stopped chatting and watched him quietly.Roach turned to smile at them, and the two mages avoided his sight, and the female mage smoothed her hair nervously.He continued to play with the mints in his hand, causing his kitten to crawl out of his pocket and jump up and down on his lap trying to grab his mints.

The two migrant workers sitting at the door also looked back at him a few times.

"Dude, come in and have a seat." Roach said with a smile, and tapped his chin on the foam words stuck to the east wall. "This is a place that serves people, people-oriented, and workers will not be rejected."

No one answered him, and the two migrant workers turned their heads back, and they got together in a low voice, not knowing what to say.The couple of mages looked at him more and more complicatedly, but they restrained themselves and said nothing.

A breeze blew in from the outside, and Roach suddenly raised his head and sniffed the wind deeply. It was the smell of lightning, but there was no sound of lightning.His kitten let out a cry, its claws grabbed his clothes and began to crawl on him. He gently stroked the cat on the back of the black cat, "Look at you, poor little one, why did you get static electricity? It's about to become Hairball."

He picked up the cat, stood up, and walked to the door.

But it's still a bit late.A figure stood in front of him. He was taller than Du Zhengyi and stronger than most mages.He was wearing a jacket and a baseball cap pulled low over his head, covering his eyes.

"Who are you?" His voice was low, as if his throat was a speaker, and the voice continued to resonate inside.

"I'll do the subsistence allowance." Roach said, hugging the cat.

The strong man raised his head slightly, his browbones under the cap were very thick, his eyes were brutal and fierce, and his mandible protruded slightly.In terms of age, he is older than Du Zhengyi.

"I met Du Zhengyi on the street. He said that Teacher Liu Li would come today. She taught me before, so she should still remember me...I want to meet her." Luo Qi said awkwardly, "I'm sorry for you. I also have a little impression, are we students of the same class?"

The strong man took a look at Luo Qi, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the scar on the corner of Luo Qi's mouth. Just now he thought that the man holding the cat was smiling at him, but only later did he see that the corners of his mouth were opened , maybe the treatment was not timely, and even magic could not completely repair those two weird wounds.He was wearing a shabby jacket, and the sweater inside was frayed at the neckline. He didn't know what kind of magical accident could reduce a mage to such a situation of living with stray cats.

"I don't know you." He said, "And Liu Li won't be here today, why don't you hurry up?"

"Ah?" The middle-aged man holding the cat asked in surprise.He was a little alert, but the middle-aged scumbag raised his head and looked at him in shock. Those eyes looking at people through farsighted glasses were enlarged by the lens, and the pupils trembled slightly. The cheekbones are red. "Du Zhengyi actually played me? I...ah, my black ball..."

The black kitten seemed to be frightened, and suddenly jumped out of the middle-aged man's arms. The middle-aged man acted as if he had lost his daughter, and immediately became hysterical, chasing the cat and ran out.
