As the defense was about to begin, more and more people came to the dormitory. The students who were doing internships outside asked for leave and returned to school, waiting for the defense to be over so that they could officially start work with their graduation certificates.
Lin Yan's dormitory was no exception. The four girls gathered together for the first time in four months. Except for Xu Ruan who found an internship company locally, the other two girls all returned to their hometowns and found jobs there.
"Xiao Ping, let me see your head." Ning Yadan was Lin Ping's roommate who shared the bed next to hers. As she said this, she was about to pull Lin Ping's hair. Lin Ping had no choice but to let her do it.
"I'm really fine, I just have a bump on my head." Lin Xi said helplessly.
"It seems like there's really nothing wrong, not even a scar left." Ning Yadan said and called another roommate to come over and take a look.
Chu Feifei was holding the local specialties she brought back from her hometown, so she placed them on Lin Yan's desk. She leaned over to take a look and commented, "Indeed, his hair has grown back. He doesn't look bald anymore."
After a month, her hair had grown several centimeters longer, and Lin Xi was no longer as resistant to being called bald as before.
"By the way, have you found a job?" Chu Feifei asked.
"I found it, and it's better than any of ours." Xu Ruan said while eating the local specialties brought back by his roommate.
"Oh, what job? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Ning Yadan asked immediately.
"It's something that happened recently. I was going to tell you, but then I thought you'd be back soon, so I decided to wait until you get back to tell you, and treat you to a meal at the same time." When the three of them found internships, they treated each other to a meal. Lin Xi had eaten out three meals, so she had to treat them back.
"They are so generous that they even offered to treat us to a meal. It seems like this job is really good." As roommates, no one knows Lin Xi's stinginess better than them.
"It's nothing, just... a state-owned enterprise." Lin Yan said in a low-key and Versailles manner.
Ning Yadan and Chu Feifei looked at each other with surprise in their eyes: "You are so good, it seems that you didn't find a job before, but you didn't like the previous jobs."
"That's right, you made us worry about you for nothing, you scheming girl."
"This meal must be a good one, otherwise we won't be able to quell our jealousy." Xu Ruan also joined in the fun.
"Okay, okay, you can choose any restaurant around the school." Lin Yan waved her hand generously.
The four girls left immediately, put down their things, and found a place to eat. They had a very enjoyable meal, but the topics of conversation were very different from before. In the past, when they got together, they would talk about gossip, handsome guys, where the food was delicious, and whether they should go shopping together tomorrow. But now, throughout the meal, their topics revolved around work.
Are colleagues in the company easy to get along with, is there room for career development in the position, how the leaders treat them, etc...
"The company only gave me five days of leave this time, and I have to leave after I defend my thesis." Ning Yadan looked depressed. She wanted to play for a few more days.
"I have a week's vacation, and I can stay for two days after the defense." Chu Feifei said.
"I'm worse off than you all. I joined a law firm, and our team leader just took on a case and was very busy, so she didn't give me any leave. When I went to ask for leave yesterday, she almost ate me." Xu Ruan smiled bitterly, "If I didn't defend my thesis, I wouldn't get my diploma, so I wouldn't even dare to ask for it."
"How many days of leave did you take?" Lin Wei asked.
"Three days." Xu Ruan held up three fingers. "Only during these three days, the company won't contact me. As for you, state-owned enterprises should have plenty of leave."
"For me, it's only a week." Lin Yan felt a little guilty because she had never thought of asking for leave from the company. However, this incident also reminded Lin Yan that although she didn't have to go to work in the special office, what if something happened? She should report it herself.
After dinner, the four of them made an appointment to go shopping together. While buying milk tea, Lin An edited a message and sent it to Assistant Tan, telling him about her preparations for the defense this week and asking for leave.
At No. 106 Chunfeng Road, Assistant Tan just received an encrypted message. He took a glance at it and his expression immediately became serious. He took out his mobile phone, opened six exclusive chat groups, and sent a message.
Assistant Tan: [The subspace is about to open.]
Chu: [Received.]
Haiwang: [Received.]
Dirt King: [Received.]
Assistant Tan looked at the series of replies in the group and confirmed that the information had been delivered. Just as he was about to put down his phone, Lin Yan's message came in.
Lin Yan: [Assistant Tan, I have my graduation defense this week, so I would like to ask for a leave from you.]
When Assistant Tan saw Lin Yan’s message, he remembered that there was another person in Group 6.
Although Lin Yan had joined the company, he had not yet added her to the exclusive group of Group 6. And he had subconsciously forgotten about Lin Yan after reading the message just now.
Forget it. Lin Xi’s ability level is too low, so she shouldn’t be able to enter the subspace. There’s no need to tell her.
Assistant Tan replied: [Got it.]
Just as he was about to send it, Assistant Tan suddenly thought of Xiao Wen's comment that he was "about to die", hesitated for a moment, and added: [Be careful these two days.]
After putting down the phone, Assistant Tan hesitated again, wondering whether to send the information about the subspace to Lin Yan. Lin Yan had just awakened and her level was low, so she must have never been exposed to the subspace. After thinking for a moment, Assistant Tan still didn't send it, because although the subspace would randomly devour psychics, the subspace would not look down on psychics below level D.
Forget it. It’s hard to explain subspace at the moment. Let Lin Yan finish her defense and let her come over to supplement her knowledge.
After Assistant Tan made the decision, he completely put Lin Yan's matter aside and turned to his own affairs.
Be careful? Be careful about what
Lin Yan, who received the message, was puzzled. Did Tan Zhu send the wrong message or make a typo? When she was hesitating whether to ask for clarification, Xu Ruan came over alone with four cups of milk tea: "Lin Yan, what are you in a daze for? Let's go."
Lin Yan came back to her senses, took the milk tea from Xu Ruan, and reunited with the other two roommates. The four girls went shopping happily with a cup of milk tea each, and they spent the whole afternoon shopping. They got a lot of spoils in the afternoon, and after dark, the four girls carried large and small bags to school, and did not plan to eat dinner. They had already eaten 80% full of various snacks while shopping.
When they were almost at the dormitory, Lin Yan suddenly remembered that she hadn't picked up a package yet: "Xu Ruan, please help me take the things upstairs. I'll go to the north gate to pick up a package."
Lin Yan handed the shopping bag to Xu Ruan and turned to the north gate. There were many students on the way from the dormitory to the north gate, but the divination system did not ring once. Speaking of which, she was out all day today, and it seemed that she did not meet a single unlucky person.
Therefore, you should usually save some merit points, just in case one day is like today and you meet someone unlucky.
"Plop", a bamboo stick fell from the stick tube.
Lin Xi paused, her mouth twitching. This stick of fortune couldn't have appeared because of her sigh just now. She swore that she just sighed casually and didn't really want others to be unlucky. Although she needed merit points very much, she was not so black-hearted as to do so.
The fortune spread: [Yuriko Yamaguchi, female, 25 years old, my god, she will be pierced through the chest by a sword. ]
Lin Xi blinked, and blinked again. Was she seeing things
A sword pierced through the chest? Lin Yan confirmed again that this sword was indeed a sword. Not to mention that swords were controlled weapons that could not be bought outside. Even if they were bought, they were not sharpened. Even if they were sharpened, who was so awesome that he could pierce a person's chest with a sword? Were they sure that it would not get stuck in the ribs
Also, there is a problem with the name. Yamaguchi Yuriko sounds like she is from China, but there are no international students from China in her school.
"System, you have a bug?" Lin Wei asked.
"Please do not question the excellence of the system with your limited IQ." System.
“…” Who are you scolding for having limited IQ
Forget it. I won’t bother with you. Saving lives is what’s important. If a sword pierces the chest, it may be fatal.
Lin Xi began to analyze, "Yuriko Yamaguchi, 25 years old, who just walked by me looks like a 25-year-old R countryman?" Lin Xi looked around, looking back and forth at the person who just walked by her, but her special ability was fortune-telling, climbing the TV, and using a ruler to teach people how to behave, not knowing people's names when she saw them.
do not care.
"Who is Yamaguchi Yuriko?" Lin Yan roared while standing on the road with all her might.
The academy road was silent for a moment, and the students passing by cast surprised glances at her. Lin Yan also looked at them expectantly, hoping that Yamaguchi Yuriko was in the crowd. After a while, nothing happened. Seeing that Lin Yan didn't do anything strange, the students withdrew their surprised glances and continued to do what they were doing.
Lin An was anxious and called out again, "Is Yamaguchi Yuriko here?"
The crowd fell silent again, the classmates looked over again, Lin Yan looked back expectantly again, but still Yamaguchi Yuriko did not appear.
When the crowd started moving again, the people who had just passed by Lin Xi within three meters had already disappeared, making it almost impossible to find them.
"System, if I meet her again, can I do divination again?" Although it is almost impossible to find the person again, Lin Xi still plans to try her luck. Anyway, she has to go to the school gate. If she can meet her again on the way, she will try again. After all, this is a matter of life and death.
"I only earn a little merit when I complete a divination task, and you have to consume some merit when you do the divination a second time. Isn't this a waste of my time?" I know your system is hacked, but it can't be this hacked.
"Excuse me, do you want to open the second divination?" The system ignored Lin's complaint and only asked her whether to open it. It looked like I just want to collect money, you can buy it or not, anyway, I don't need it urgently.
"Open." Lin Xi had almost no hesitation. If she didn't want to earn the merit points, then she wouldn't. But she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
"The second divination has been activated. If you meet Yamaguchi Yuriko again, the system will conduct a second divination." System.
Lin Xi continued walking towards the north gate. Outside the north gate was a snack street. If Yamaguchi Yuriko was lucky, they might meet again.
“Pah.”
The bamboo stick fell again.
[Yuriko Yamaguchi, female, 25 years old, oh my god, she will be pierced through the chest by a sword. ]
Lin Xi looked down at her feet, then looked around. It seemed, as if, she had only taken one step
What does this mean? It means that Yuriko Yamaguchi has been staying within three meters of her since the beginning.
Where is Keren
Lin Xi looked around again. Since a while ago, people on the road to the college had been walking all the time, and no one had ever stopped within three meters of her.
Wait, no one
Could it be that the system was not fortune-telling for a human this time? Lin Xi suddenly felt a chill down her spine. If it was really that, then she should just ignore it.
Lin Yan touched the goose bumps on the back of her hand, turned around and continued to walk towards the school gate. After walking a few steps, the street lights on the side of the road suddenly flickered, and the college road was dark for about a second. Everyone looked up in confusion, and when they saw that the street lights were on again, they didn't say anything and continued to walk forward. No one noticed that someone disappeared on the road in the darkness just now.
Except for the disappeared person herself—Lin Yan.
Where is this? Wasn't I on the way to the college? Why did I suddenly enter the room
At this time, Lin Yan was standing in a room of about 10 square meters. The room was dim, with a candlelight. There was no extra furniture in the room except a table and a bed. Moreover, the style was very simple.
"System, where is this?" Lin Wei quickly asked the system.
"I'm just a divination system." System.
When the system doesn't want to help, it will repeatedly emphasize that it is just a divination system. Lin Yan knows that she can't rely on the system, but such a scene can't help but make her start to think wildly.
The previous moment, she was walking on the road to the college, suspecting that Yamaguchi Yuriko might be a ghost. The next moment, she suddenly appeared in this strange room. So Yamaguchi Yuriko could only be a ghost.
Could it be that I was dragged in by Yuriko Yamaguchi
Yes, that must be it.
Lin Yan was extremely confident, and hurriedly opened the system inventory, took out Sadako's long hair and put it on her head. Yamaguchi Yuriko was a ghost, and so was Sadako. They were from the same country, so it should be easier for them to communicate.
We are all ghosts, so let’s not hurt each other.
Lin Xi put on a wig and started looking for the TV exit skillfully, but after turning around, she couldn't find the familiar passage.
Um
"Is it possible that Sadako's resentment cannot defeat Yamaguchi Yuriko?" Lin Xi asked subconsciously.
[Auntie, are you doubting my ability? ]
Although there was no sound in the barrage, Lin Xi could still feel the anger coming from between the lines.
"No... No, I absolutely don't doubt what you mean, Boss Sadako. I'm just wondering why the passage is gone." Lin Yan explained hurriedly.
[There is an energy barrier here that blocks my induction of the TV. I can only establish a channel by breaking the barrier or assimilating it.]
"Then what should I do to break or assimilate the barriers?" Lin Wei asked.
[I don't know. Don't talk to me anymore. I'm running out of merit points.]
Don't go, talk to me for a few more words, isn't it okay for me to pay the merit points? Lin Yan wanted to say this, but unfortunately, she didn't have any merit points.
Sadako's long hair was useless, so Lin Yan had to take out the master's ruler. Although she didn't know if the ruler would work on ghosts, she felt a little safer. Lin Yan analyzed calmly again.
The system just divined, which proves that Yamaguchi Yuriko is within three meters of me. Judging from the size of the room, Yamaguchi Yuriko is probably outside the door, or next door. She is even looking at me.
Lin Yan took a deep breath, made up her mind, pointed the ruler at the door, and said, "Yamaguchi Yuriko, come out, let's talk."
"boom!"
As Lin Xi finished speaking, the wall on the right was kicked open by someone. A man in a kimono was standing at the entrance of the cave, pulling a woman's hair, looking at Lin Xi with a dim gaze. The woman he was pulling was limp all over, as if she had lost her voice.
"Chinese?"
Lin Xi turned around quickly and pointed the ruler at the man.
At this moment, the woman who seemed to have lost her voice as her hair was pulled by the man suddenly jumped up from the ground, bent her five fingers into sharp claws, and fiercely grabbed the man's face. However, the man did not even frown, or even look back, but thrust his right samurai sword backwards, piercing the woman's chest with two holes.
The woman twitched twice, and her body went limp again. The five fingers that had turned into claws turned back into fingers.
Yuriko Yamaguchi
Lin Xi was extremely certain that this woman must be Yuriko Yamaguchi.
"Ding, the divination task failed, please continue to try." The system prompt sounded at the right time, confirming Lin Xi's guess.
At this time, outside, six groups of colleagues who felt the energy fluctuations began to ask questions in the group.
Aquaman: [Who went in?]
Chu: [It’s not me.]
Dirt King: [It’s not me either.]
There were about ten people in the group, and no one joined.
Everyone was confused.
Aquaman: [Who went in then?]
They clearly felt the door to the subspace open, which meant that at least one person had entered.
King of Dirt: [It's probably some civilian supernatural being, but he's not one of us. It's a pity that we missed the chance to find treasure, but his life or death has nothing to do with us. Let's go to sleep.]
Qingkong: [I remember we just hired a new employee.]
Chu: [She is only in F grade.]
Aquaman: [Yes, she can't go in.]
Dirty King: [Sleep, sleep.]
When Assistant Tan saw someone mention Lin Yan in the group, he subconsciously thought of Xiao Wen's words "a look of impending death". He was just getting worried, but Chen Chu's words "she's only F grade" put his mind at ease.
It shouldn't be her who went in. F-level superpowers are not valued by the subspace, and... the door is closed now. Even if Lin Xi was really sucked in, all he can do is help apply for compensation.
Wait, it seems that Lin Xi just asked for leave from him.
Um…
