The law enforcement team arrived on time, and Ichiro Sato cooperated very well. He was taken away without any resistance. However, he looked at Chen Chu with a somewhat cold look before leaving.
"Chen Chujun, I've made note of this matter." Sato said.
"It's just a small matter, Mr. Sato, don't take it to heart." Chen Chu said in a tone that said, "You don't have to thank me."
"..." Sato's face twitched, and he turned his gaze to Lin Xi in the distance, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Chen Chu took a step to the left and blocked Sato's sight with his body.
Sato was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said nothing more, bent down and sat in the car.
The law enforcement team saluted Chen Chu and drove Sato away.
Chen Chu waited until the car left before turning around and walking towards Lin Yan. At this time, Lin Yan was standing under a banyan tree, holding a bunch of hydrogen balloons in her hand, jumping up and down, not knowing what she was doing. Chen Chu had already approached her, but Lin Yan didn't notice him, and was still trying to tiptoe. Chen Chu asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Ah?" The sudden sound startled Lin Xi. Her hands loosened and the rope she was holding flew out of her hands. Hundreds of hydrogen balloons tied to the ropes flew freely into the sky.
"Balloon!" Lin Yan jumped up and tried to reach it, but once the hydrogen balloon was freed, it rose so fast that Lin Yan couldn't reach it at all. She could only watch in dumbfounded wonder as the hydrogen balloon floated farther and farther in the air, becoming a beautiful scenery in the blue sky.
"It's over!" Lin Yan wailed. The hydrogen balloons were from the amusement park. They must have been unsold when the amusement park closed yesterday, so the merchant tied the balloons to the banyan tree. Lin Yan was bored waiting for a while, so she came to take a look and found that there were quite a lot of hydrogen balloons. She suddenly wanted to try the feeling of being as light as a swallow, so she took the hydrogen balloons off and played with them in her hands. She originally wanted to tie them back after playing, but...
There were hundreds of hydrogen balloons in that bundle, and they were expensive in the amusement park. Even if she sold them at ten yuan each, she would still have to lose a thousand yuan.
How could she be so unlucky? She just escaped death and found out that her phone had lost its space. Before she even had time to buy a new phone, she owed another thousand yuan in foreign debt.
"My thousand dollars." Lin Xi looked at the hydrogen balloon that was floating higher and higher and farther away, and she felt so heartbroken that she almost cried.
Why are you crying all of a sudden
Chen Chu followed Lin Yan's gaze and looked at the colorful hydrogen balloons in the sky. He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the sky. At the moment he raised his hand, a breeze blew across the sky, pulling the hydrogen balloons that were flying high up, and brought them down again, slowly landing in Chen Chu's hands.
"Here." Chen Chu handed the rope tied to the hydrogen balloon back to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan stared at Chen Chu in a daze, not reaching out to take it. Her heart even began to beat violently and uncontrollably.
[Ah, I'm teased. I'm going to give him a 30% discount. ]
"Isn't this what you want?"
"Shut up!"
Chen Chu was stunned by the yelling.
"Ah, yes, yes, this is what I want, thank you for helping me get it back." Lin Yan almost snatched the rope back from Chen Chu's hand, and then immediately turned around to tie the hydrogen balloon back to its original place. Lin Yan tied the rope very carefully, and did not turn around again until the heat on her face and her heartbeat returned to normal.
"Thank you, senior. If it weren't for you, I would have almost lost another thousand dollars." Lin Xi thanked again.
"You don't have to be so polite." Chen Chu smiled. He found that Lin Yan was really sensitive about money. When she saw the balloon flying away, the first thing she did was to convert the balloon into equivalent money.
"Well, the law enforcement team has taken Sato away?" Lin Yan realized that the law enforcement team's car had already left. "What will happen to Sato? Will he go to jail?"
"Sato is an official supernatural being of Country R, so he won't be locked up for too long." Chen Chu shook his head, "But he has a criminal record of illegal immigration, so he will be banned from entering China for a period of time."
"That's good." Lin Yan felt relieved after hearing this. Although Sato couldn't beat Chen Chu, it would take her no time to beat him. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. She was really afraid that Sato would be sent back to his country and then buy a plane ticket to come back and kill her.
Sato was not a good person at first glance. Lin Yan still remembered the look in his eyes when he killed Yamaguchi Yuriko. It was not killing, it was just like killing a chicken. Such a person would definitely bear a grudge, not to mention that she had robbed him of something. Although it was Sadako's fault, the grudge would definitely be held against her. So during the time she was waiting for the law enforcement team, Lin Yan had been hiding here, in order to reduce her presence in front of Sato. It would be even better if she could forget about her.
Okay, she was a bit cowardly.
"Let's go to the headquarters." Chen Chu had already reported to Assistant Tan about rescuing Lin An, and Assistant Tan asked him to take Lin An to the headquarters.
Lin Yan followed Chen Chu out of the amusement park and called an online taxi to No. 106 Chunfeng Road.
"What does Assistant Tan want me to do?" Lin Wei asked.
"I think we're going to give you some on-the-job training." Chen Chu said.
"On-the-job training?" Lin Xi was stunned. They actually have on-the-job training for a job where they don't have to go to work unless they have nothing to do
Chen Chu glanced at the online taxi driver in the front row and said cryptically, "You need to supplement some knowledge, such as what happened last night."
"Oh." Lin Xi suddenly realized that the purpose was to supplement her with knowledge about the subspace, which she really needed.
What happened last night? On-the-job training? Because the online ride-hailing driver always encounters countless strange things while driving, he couldn't help but glance at the man and woman in the rearview mirror, giving full play to his imagination.
What kind of job requires a man and a woman to work together at night, and then they need to undergo on-the-job training? Is everything so formal these days
"By the way, do you want to call your roommates?" Chen Chu remembered something, "You disappeared yesterday, and they were very worried. They even went to the police station to report you."
"What?" When Lin Xi heard that Xu Ruan and the others had called the police, she subconsciously took out her cell phone from her pocket, but it was empty. Then she remembered that her cell phone was lost yesterday.
"Here." Chen Chu handed over his cell phone.
"Thank you." Lin Yan held the phone and tried to recall her roommate's phone number for a long time but couldn't remember it. Then she returned the phone to Chen Chu very embarrassedly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Chu was surprised.
"I don't remember the phone number." Lin Xi was embarrassed.
Chen Chu laughed: "You have to learn to memorize phone numbers in the future, after all, we often lose our phones."
Whether entering the subspace or fighting with others, mobile phones are easily lost or damaged.
"I will. I will write down the senior's phone number when I get back." Lin Yan nodded repeatedly.
Chen Chu was stunned and looked at Lin Xi.
"And I'll carry all the letters from Assistant Tan and headquarters," Lin Yan added anxiously and guiltily.
"You must remember Assistant Tan's phone number. He can help a lot. Here you go." Chen Chu handed his cell phone to Lin Yan again.
Lin Xi looked at it in surprise and saw that a familiar phone number had been entered into the phone handed to her this time.
"Assistant Tan helped you find your classmate's phone number. It seems to be Xu Ruan." While Chen Chu was talking to Lin Yan, he asked Assistant Tan for Lin Yan's phone number. As the logistical support of the headquarters, Assistant Tan had access to all of their social information.
"Thank you." Lin Yan took the phone again and dialed Xu Ruan's number. The call was connected quickly.
It is now past six in the morning. For someone like Xu Ruan who rarely has a day off and likes to sleep in, this is the time when dreams are the sweetest. But when Lin Xi called, the other party answered almost immediately.
"Xu Ruan, it's me."
"Lin Yan, where did you go last night? Are you okay?"
Hearing her friend's worried words, Lin Xi, who had almost forgotten the thrilling experience of last night, suddenly felt like crying again. She turned her back embarrassedly, trying to control her emotions, and made excuses that her phone was stolen and she had something urgent to do, and she made up the story of yesterday.
The car soon stopped at No. 106 Chunfeng Road.
"You go in first, I'm going to buy something." Chen Chu said to Lin Xi.
"Okay." Lin Xi nodded and went in alone.
In the small building, Assistant Tan was already waiting on the first floor. He seemed to have just arrived and was making tea. When he saw Lin Yan come in, he looked her up and down, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, when Assistant Tan first heard that Lin Xi came out of the subspace being chased by Sato Ichiro, he thought that Lin Xi must be in a very miserable state, but seeing her now, she seemed to be in good condition.
"Would you like some tea?" Assistant Tan asked Lin An.
"I don't drink tea, I just drink water." Lin Xi didn't have the habit of drinking tea early in the morning.
Assistant Tan didn't say anything and helped her get a glass of water.
"Thank you." Lin Yan took it.
"You were scared yesterday," Assistant Tan asked.
Lin Xi nodded. She was not only scared, she almost died.
"I am responsible for this matter. I should have reminded you about the subspace, but because I thought your ability level was not high enough, I did not tell you in detail. In the end, I underestimated the extent of your bad luck." Assistant Tan said.
Lin Yan blinked, and suddenly remembered the strange message Assistant Tan sent her yesterday: "Assistant Tan, you told me to be careful yesterday. Could it be that you were referring to the subspace?"
"That's right." Assistant Tan nodded. "As an official organization, we can predict every time the subspace opens. But the subspace only devours those with abilities above level D. You are level F, so I thought you would be fine, so..."
“I see…” It’s all because of the -99 luck value.
"When we recruited you into Group 6, we didn't intend to have you fight or explore the subspace. We positioned you as a logistics support person. We wanted to let you slowly get familiar with logistics after you graduated, but we didn't expect you to enter the subspace first. Now it seems that we have to readjust your position." The reason why Assistant Tan only signed a confidentiality agreement with Lin Yan and didn't do the so-called induction training was that he positioned Lin Yan as an ordinary logistics support person. The subspace is something that combatants need to pay attention to.
"No, no need. I think being a logistics support person is good enough." She really didn't want to go through what happened yesterday again. Being a small logistics support person and doing fortune-telling when she had nothing to do was really good enough for her.
"I don't care, but if the next time the sub-space swallows you up again, are you sure you don't want to know something about it in advance?" Assistant Tan asked.
"Here is some basic information about the supernatural world that I compiled. It will allow you to quickly understand some common sense about the supernatural world. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. After your three-month observation period is over, I will give you another account. With the account, you can directly enter the official organization forum and look up information on your own." Assistant Tan handed over a USB flash drive and reminded, "Be careful not to leak secrets."
"I'll pay attention." Lin Yan took it.
"Also, I've added you to the group, please approve it." Assistant Tan said.
"What group?" Lin Yan was stunned.
"You were originally supposed to wait until your observation period was over before you could enter the work group of Group 6, but everyone knew about your incident last night, so I pulled you in early." Assistant Tan thought for a moment and reminded, "Many of them didn't sleep all night because of you yesterday."
In the morning, several people sensed the opening of the subspace gate. Finally, someone discovered that Chen Chu had gone there first and sent a message in the group, so the others did not go there.
"Ah?!" Lin Xi's eyes widened in surprise.
"How else do you think Chen Chu rushed over to save you in the first place?" Assistant Tan said, "He was sensing the opening of the space door the whole night."
Lin Xi's emotions suddenly became complicated. It turned out that Senior Chen Chu had been waiting for her all night.
"Don't feel too pressured. This is a convenience provided by the official organization. If you have the ability in the future, you should do the same." Assistant Tan said.
"I definitely will." Lin Xi suddenly felt a strong sense of belonging to Group Six.
It turns out that not only Senior Chen Chu, but other colleagues in Group 6 were also trying to help her, even though they had never met each other.
"What's going on?" At this time, Chen Chu came in, holding the breakfast he had just bought, and walked straight to the two of them, putting the breakfast on the table, "Have you eaten, Assistant Tan? Do you want to eat with us?"
"I had already eaten while waiting for you." Assistant Tan said expressionlessly.
"Then let's eat." Chen Chu handed the buns he bought to Lin Yan, "There are no breakfast stalls around here, but the buns in this 24-hour convenience store are pretty good."
"Thank you, senior." Lin Xi had been running for her life all night and was very hungry. She took the buns and started to gobble them up.
"You guys eat, I'm going upstairs first." After explaining everything that needed to be said, Assistant Tan prepared to go upstairs to work.
"Assistant Tan." Chen Chu suddenly called out to Assistant Tan and asked, "Does the team have any spare phones?"
"What's wrong?"
"Lin An left her cell phone in the secondary space last night. If anyone in the group has one, give her one so she doesn't have to buy one." Chen Chu said it casually, but Lin An was very excited when he heard it.
"I'll go check, there should be more." Assistant Tan turned and went upstairs.
Lin Yan waited until Assistant Tan left before she excitedly asked Chen Chu, "Senior, can our department's cell phones also be reimbursed?"
"It's for backup, not reimbursement. Be careful with your wording."
Lin Xi was stunned, and it took her a long time to react. What the senior meant was that the mobile phone could not be reimbursed, but it could be used as a backup in case of emergencies. As for whether to return it after use, the employees could do as they pleased.
understood.
Lin Xi looked at Chen Chu with admiration. It turned out that things like taking advantage of the company should be done by old employees.
Chen Chu was amused and confused by Lin Xi's admiring expression. If he hadn't known that Lin Xi was under great financial pressure and had complained to her roommates several times when she lost an old phone and used it to make calls, he would not have thought of the company's spare phone.
A few minutes later, Assistant Tan came down from upstairs with a mobile phone and handed it to Lin. Lin's eyes lit up when she saw the packaging. Although it was not the latest model, it was the latest model of M last quarter, and it would cost 8,000 yuan now. She had never used such an expensive mobile phone in her life.
Lin Yan was so excited that she opened the package on the spot, fearing that Assistant Tan would take it back if she was a step too late.
"The law enforcement team called just now and said that you stole Sato's wood energy crystal?" Assistant Tan's voice was filled with surprise and disbelief. It was a miracle that Lin Xi didn't die when facing Sato, and she actually managed to steal the other party's things.
"Oh, yes." Chen Chu also knew about this. Lin Xi had no intention of hiding it.
"How did you steal it?"
Chen Chu also looked at Lin Yan. In fact, he was also a little curious, but he hadn't had time to ask before.
"Just... I was lucky." In fact, Lin Xi herself didn't know how she got it, but it was in her hair when she came back.
“It turned out to be luck, but it was a good grab.” Assistant Tan praised.
Huh?! Was I praised by my leader
"Then what are you going to do with this crystallization of ability?" Assistant Tan looked at Lin Xi with expectation in his eyes.
“Do… do I need to hand it over?” Lin Yan felt creepy when Assistant Tan looked at her, and subconsciously felt that she should hand over the spoils.
"Are you willing to hand it over?" Assistant Tan's eyes lit up.
Chen Chu glanced at Assistant Tan and said nothing.
"So... we don't have to hand it in?"
"..." Assistant Tan felt a pain in his chest due to choking. He thought Lin Yan was quite smart and understood the hidden meaning of his words before. Why did she change her mind the next moment
"Normally, as a member of an official organization, you are ordered to enter the subspace, and the special items you obtain must be handed over to the organization. But your situation last night was special, and the organization did not give you any help, so you can choose to hand in the wood energy crystals you obtained, or you can choose not to. But if you hand them in, the organization will give you corresponding compensation." Assistant Tan looked at Lin Xi eagerly.
I've made it clear, isn't it, it's time for you to show off.
"What compensation?" Lin Yan asked casually.
This girl's EQ is too low.
Chen Chu looked at Assistant Tan who was glaring at him and almost couldn't help laughing. He had to turn around and eat his bun, pretending that he didn't see it.
Assistant Tan said calmly: "It can be exchanged for points, and the points can be used to exchange for other things, such as energy stones that can increase the level of supernatural powers, some special items, and can also be exchanged for money, houses..."
"House?!" Lin Xi's eyes suddenly brightened. She was about to graduate and she needed a house.
"You want a house." Assistant Tan also noticed.
"Yeah, yeah." Lin Yan nodded her head like pounding garlic, "I want a house."
"Okay, I'll send you a list of properties later. Pick one, and I'll convert the rest into points for you." Assistant Tan reached out, "Give me the wood energy crystal."
"Wait a moment." Lin Xi immediately took out Sadako's long hair from the storage space.
Seeing the long hair that suddenly appeared, Assistant Tan and Chen Chu were not too surprised, because Lin Xi's original skill of climbing the TV belonged to the space-related ability, so it was not surprising to have space on her body.
Lin Xi's hand fumbled in her long hair for a while, and finally touched the energy crystal that was tightly entangled by her long hair. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Lin Xi always felt that the crystal seemed to be a little smaller. No matter what, she would take it down and change the house first.
Lin Xi tugged at it, but the crystal didn't budge. Lin Xi tugged again, but the crystal not only didn't budge, but the long hair even wrapped around it tighter.
“…” Lin Xi understood that Sadako was unwilling to give it.
"Sister Sadako, please give me the crystal. I want to move to a new house." Lin Xi said in her heart.
Sadako ignored him and continued to pester him.
"Although you snatched the crystal back, I was the one being hunted. You almost killed me, did you know that? So, if you give me the crystal, I'll change the house, and I'll forgive you for this. Next time I find the crystal, I won't hand it over. I'll give it to you, okay?"
Sadako still ignored him and tied her hair tightly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Chu noticed that Lin Ping's expression was not right.
Lin Yan said awkwardly: "The hair is wrapped too tightly, I can't get it out immediately."
"Let me take a look." Assistant Tan said as he was about to help untie it. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Sadako's long hair suddenly "snapped" and hit the back of his hand, turning it red.
Assistant Tan looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Do you have any problem with me?"
“No, no, it’s this hair, it… is a little… a little…” Lin Xi didn’t know how to explain it.
"Let me try." Chen Chu's eyes flashed. He felt a weak energy fluctuation just now. As he spoke, Chen Chu reached out to take the energy crystal. Then something embarrassing happened. Sadako's long hair not only did not whip Chen Chu's hand, but it took the initiative to loosen the hair that was wrapped around the crystal.
Assistant Tan was immediately annoyed: "You still say you don't have any problem with me?"
"It's really not that. You are really wronging me. It's this hair..."
"What's wrong with it?"
"It's obsessed with looks." Lin Xi told the truth.
This is a hairstyle that will give Chen Chu a 30% discount. Do you believe it
“…” Assistant Tan.
“…” Chen Chu.
