Si Xu drove home, and his father was commenting on his mother's flower arranging skills. The serious father also had some unserious moments, which made his mother laugh repeatedly. "Don't say that when you go out, or you'll make people laugh at you."
"I'm being honest. Your flower arrangement skills are indeed comparable to those of a master. Every vase of flowers is beautiful." Si Qinian said seriously.
"Really?" Song Mozhi was very happy. He held the vase and examined it carefully, as if he was trying to find the shadow of the master.
"Of course, I never lie to you." There was no trace of joking on Si Qinian's face.
Si Xu who just entered the door: "..."
Shouldn't he come in at this time
Song Mozhi looked up and saw Si Xu standing at the door. He smiled and said, "A Xu, come and see how I arranged the flowers in this vase."
Si Xu glanced at his father. His father had a serious look on his face and warned him that if Si Xu dared to say he didn't want to watch it, he would not want this child.
Si Xu looked at the vase full of messy beauty and wanted to ask his father how thick the filter was to allow him to praise it so seriously.
“Look…” His flower arrangement skills were only slightly worse than Lin Jiu’s, but he didn’t dare to say it.
Si Qinian embraced his wife and kissed the top of her head. "Please sit for a while. Ah Xu and I will come to accompany you after we talk about something."
"Okay, go ahead." Song Mozhi was in a very good mood.
Aunt Chen brought over a basket of roses. Song Mozhi asked Aunt Chen to put it down, and the two of them started to get busy.
The roses were bright and juicy, red like fire, and very warm. This reminded Si Xu of Lin Jiu's low body temperature. He was cold and clear, so he should be warmed up by such a warm color.
Si Xu said: "Mom, please help me wrap a bouquet of roses and I will give it to someone."
Song Mozhi's eyes immediately lit up, flashing with gossip, "Is it for a girl?"
Si Xu was helpless, "No."
Song Mozhi regretted, "Who is it for? You can't just give red roses to anyone, it's easy to cause misunderstandings."
"Red roses suit him very well." If it's too light, you should use a stronger color.
Si Xu followed Si Qinian upstairs, and they went straight to the study.
Si Qinian took out a file bag from the drawer, poured out the documents inside and placed it on the desk.
Si Xu saw at a glance that there was a photo of Lin Jiu in the upper left corner of the first photo.
Si Qinian clicked on some information. "Lin Jiu, 20 years old, parents unknown. Lin Changde, from Huaifeng County, D City, picked up a baby by the river. He was 62 years old at the time. He wanted his daughter to adopt Lin Jiu, but his daughter refused, so he adopted the baby himself, and he and his daughter had a falling out over this.
10 years ago, you drove to Huaifeng County to take pictures of maple forests. On the way, you saw an old man riding an electric scooter with a child falling in front of your car. The old man broke his leg. You sent him to the hospital, but the family blackmailed you as the perpetrator...
When Lin Jiu was 14 years old, Lin Changde died of lung cancer. The small house that Lin Changde left for Lin Jiu was occupied by Lin Changde's son Lin Hai. Lin Jiu could only live in school and go to school on odd jobs and scholarships. At the age of 16, he was discovered by "Chuangxing" and signed as a trainee. He transferred to City A and developed while studying. Half a year later, he debuted with Duan Chengzhou, Huo Wei and Ling Chen.
He disappeared in a car accident a year ago, and the police could not find any clues. More than two months ago, he was recognized by the police when he went to apply for a new ID card. He did not give a reasonable explanation for his disappearance. Since he came back, silver fish and black star beads have appeared. Of course, there are more ingredients in the Magic Fish Shop. So, where did he go when he disappeared for a whole year without leaving any trace
Some time ago, he was in a lawsuit with Chuangxing. The senior executives, agents, financial staff and artists who had a grudge against him suddenly exposed themselves, which brought a great negative impact. According to the investigation, Lin Jiu took the initiative to meet with these people. They were clearly meeting in the conference room. The surveillance in the conference room was working normally, but nothing was captured. It seemed that no one had entered the conference room. However, the front desk of Chuangxing was very sure that they were having a meeting in that conference room. Other artists in the same company saw Lin Jiu go to the company. This matter was related to Lin Jiu, and it was a foregone conclusion. "
Si Qinian's focus was on Lin Jiu.
Si Xu was concerned about Lin Jiu's experiences over the years. He wanted to ask about Grandpa Lin's health several times, but there was no suitable opportunity. He did not expect that Grandpa Lin had passed away long ago.
When Si Xu thought about how little Lin Jiu lost his grandfather, was kicked out of the house, and had to live a hard life alone, his chest ached. He hated himself for losing him...
Si Qinian said: "What kind of adventures he has is his private matter. We don't have to ask about it. But there is one thing we must know. Is he a strong man? If he is a strong man, what kind of ability does he have? We have special restrictions on strong men. We can't let him use his abilities like ordinary people. No matter how heinous his crimes are, he can't be dealt with by him. Even if he cooperates with the "Special Security Department", he doesn't have such privileges.
After examination, it was found that the brain structures of these people who exposed themselves had changed, as if some kind of mutation had occurred. They were very protective of Lin Jiu and could not bear to hear others say anything bad about Lin Jiu. If they continued to verbally attack Lin Jiu, they would become excited, irritable, and out of control, and had serious violent tendencies.
In addition to the "Chuangxing" group, some time ago, Lin Jiu was cyberbullied, and some of the people who went to cause trouble had headaches and were sent to the doctor. They also exposed themselves and apologized. They were also arranged to be examined. In addition to being very protective of Lin Jiu, their brain structure did not change. Their reactions to Lin Jiu were also milder than those of the "Chuangxing" group. I suspect that Lin Jiu's ability may be related to mental control."
Si Xu remained silent. He didn't know why his father told him all this. If something really happened, the "Special Security Department" should have talked to Lin Jiu instead of his father talking to him.
Si Qinian said: "I know you have a good relationship with Lin Jiu. I just want to confirm whether you have been affected by his ability?"
"No." Si Xu answered affirmatively.
Si Qinian: "How do you know? We don't know what form his ability takes. The scene of besieging Lin Jiu was filmed, and the whole process was recorded. Lin Jiu only said one sentence from beginning to end. I don't rule out that he can control people through words. Think about how many words you have spoken to him. If he wants to influence you, you don't even know which sentence he will fall into the trap."
"He won't." Si Xu said seriously, "He has his own bottom line. Even if he really has this ability, he won't use it casually. Apart from these two cases, can you find anything else?"
Si Qinian frowned, "These two cases are not enough? You want more? This is because I haven't found conclusive evidence. Once there is evidence..."
"So what if there's evidence? Strong people don't need energy ingredients and energy wine, right?" Si Xu interrupted his father.
Si Qinian: “…”
Si Qinian could only stare blankly.
Si Xu knew that his father didn't really want to do anything to Lin Jiu, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much to him and would have gone to get him earlier.
Si Xu said: "Dad, don't worry. Although he has been through so many things, he is kind by nature and has not gone astray at all. No matter what abilities he has, you don't have to worry. He knows what to do and what not to do."
Si Qinian said without hesitation: "You look very much like you have been influenced by him."
Si Xu was helpless, "You came back to me at this time, not just to say this, right?"
Si Qinian knocked on the table seriously, "There are two things that cannot be changed. Although the 'Special Security Department' has not seized any evidence, it cannot prove that Lin Jiu is innocent. Someone will go to talk to him about this matter. I came to you because I want to give you a special task."
Si Xu: “…”
Si Xu: "I feel like a non-staff member."
Si Qinian snorted coldly, "If you don't want to do it, just say so. I can arrange for someone else to protect Lin Jiu..."
"I think I am very suitable for this task." Si Xu said seriously.
Si Qinian felt itchy and wanted to beat up his son, and he felt more and more that his son was being influenced by Lin Jiu.
Si Xu ignored his father's scrutiny and asked, "What happened? Why do you want to protect Lin Jiu?"
Si Qi sighed, feeling powerless. "Something unexpected happened. I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future... Asking you to protect Lin Jiu is also a preparation in advance, just in case. Of course, the premise of protection is that you are strong enough. If you can't even beat the person you want to protect, don't protect him. It's time for him to protect you instead."
Thinking of Lin Jiu's wounded body, Si Xu's heart tightened again, "I will work hard to become stronger, I will definitely be able to protect him."
Si Qinian looked at his son with more and more annoyance, "Are you really not affected?"
Si Xu: “…”
Si Xu: "Really not, I did this out of my own conscience. If his ability can affect not only people's brains but also their hearts, then you guys shouldn't cooperate with him. Hurry up and send him to the Special Security Department. He alone can take over all of you."
Si Qinian: “…”
This guy is definitely not normal!
Si Xu: “…”
Why is my father so suspicious? What has provoked him
After the conversation, when Si Xu was about to leave, Si Qi said, "You don't have to protect him deliberately. I arranged it for you. In addition to your ability, you can see him often. He is also relatively friendly to you. You can observe whether there are any unstable factors around him."
"clear."
"There is one more thing." Si Qinian called him.
Si Xu turned around.
Si Qinian groaned, "Don't celebrate your birthday with your fans this year. Your grandparents and grandpa want to celebrate with you..."
Si Xu looked at the sadness between his father's brows and understood what he had not yet said.
Because of his illness, he may not be able to survive until next year's birthday after this year's. His grandparents and grandfather are all aware of the situation, and they want to celebrate his birthday with him. His father and mother, who are unaware of the situation, also want to be with him.
Si Xu didn't dare to think about what would happen to his family, his mother, and Lin Jiu if that day really came.
Si Xu smiled bitterly in his heart. As expected, he still couldn't say anything. For someone like him who was living day by day and getting less and less, he couldn't even take responsibility for himself. How could he be responsible for what he said
If he can't live, just don't say anything, don't provoke him, don't pursue him, just treat him as a friend. Maybe when he leaves, Lin Jiu will not care so much, and his original life will not be affected.
"I understand." Si Xu waved and went downstairs to get his roses.
Waiting for him was a flower basket full of messy beauty.
Si Xu: “…”
Si Xu: "I remember I said a bouquet of roses..."
"We don't have wrapping paper and ribbons at home, only flower baskets and vases. I think flower baskets are easier to carry. If you prefer vases, I can get you one." Song Mozhi gave the second option.
Si Xu: “…”
He could already hear his father's footsteps coming down the stairs.
Si Xu immediately took the flower basket and said, "The flower basket is very nice. Thank you, Mom."
Si Xu hugged his mother and ran away quickly.
This is indeed very helpful and avoids misunderstanding.
He hadn't had a headache during this period, and he almost forgot about his illness. When he asked his mother to help him make a bouquet of roses, he actually had an urge to confess his feelings. His father's words woke him up. How could a person who didn't even have a future give a future to others
Lin Jiu stood at the door of the shiny bathroom and slowly closed the door.
He must have opened it the wrong way, so he closed it and tried again.
When I opened it the second time, the bathroom was still clean and tidy.
Lin Jiu: “…”
When a lie is exposed, the deceived person can still act as if nothing happened. How fucking embarrassing is this!
Thinking of the blood-stained towel and bathrobe, Lin Jiu hurried to the trash can, telling him not to throw them away because they were covered with his blood. If this got out and someone found out that it was not human blood, it would be a big trouble.
The trash can was clean and nothing was found, but on the balcony I did find a dried towel, a bathrobe and a pair of plush pajamas with split legs.
Lin Jiu: “…”
He turned his eyes away guiltily, not daring to look at the balcony again.
I have nothing to repay you with, except to feed you with delicious food!
Lin Jiu went to the living room and released the fish pond and the super smart kitchen. He didn't want to flood the house, so he had to go to the super smart kitchen to drag the little blue devil out. He didn't dare to use too much force for fear of the wound bursting, so he could only do it slowly.
It was not easy to pull the little blue devil out of the fish pond. Lin Jiu checked it carefully and made sure it was not damaged before he felt relieved to cut it up.
The little blue demon is blue all over, with yellow-brown colors underneath its tentacles and near its suction cups. Its head alone is more than two meters tall, and with the tentacles, it is easily over a few meters tall. Don't be fooled by the little blue demon's huge size, it is actually just a baby. According to the system, Lin Jiu can only fight to the death with this baby, and whenever he encounters an adult little blue demon, he won't even have a chance to escape.
Lin Jiu actually didn't want to imagine how big the little blue devil would be when it grew up, and how difficult it would be to deal with. The system's description of it as "the most difficult killer in the sea of demons" was absolutely correct. Lin Jiu didn't want to encounter the little blue devil again, it was too scary.
Lin Jiu thought it was too horrible, but his men were not polite at all. They pushed the cutting machine and cut off all the tentacles of the little blue demon. They pushed down the bald blue head and continued cutting. The flesh was too thick, and Lin Jiu might not be able to cut it before he was injured. After he was injured, there was no hope. He could only rely on the power of the machine, which was easy, convenient and fast.
The skin of the little blue devil is blue only, the flesh is crystal white and very thick, it should be very delicious, but Boss Lin himself has never eaten it.
With the help of the machine, Lin Jiu pulled out the inedible organs. The system gave him 3 points of magic recovery and cleaned them. Then Lin Jiu cut the little blue demon meat into chunks and the thick tentacles into sections, which he stuffed into the refrigerator.
In order to make room, Lin Jiu gathered all the Magic Brocade Flower Dragons in the refrigerator together, and temporarily placed those that could not be placed in the living room. After moving out all the collections such as fruits, caviar, and black star beads, the refrigerator still could not hold all the little blue monsters. These seafood must not be left outside, otherwise they would soon go bad.
Lin Jiu was helpless and could only seek help from the system.
To double the size of the food storage area, 100 magic points are required. Do you want to expand it
Lin Jiu: “…”
All the magic points he had worked so hard to accumulate were gone.
Thinking of buying Blood Purifier and Intermediate Gene Strengthener by accumulating magic points is indeed a dream.
No matter how reluctant Lin Jiu was, he had to expand it. Otherwise, the food would go bad if left outside, and he would definitely be blamed for wasting the food. The system would quickly deduct his magic points, and it would be a vicious cycle. He had to spend money when it was time to spend it, even if he cried.
Lin Jiu: "Expand it."
Lin Jiu felt tired.
100 magic points have been deducted and the food storage area has been doubled in size.
Lin Jiu looked at the refrigerator that had doubled in size in an instant, and was so moved that he wanted to cry. He now only had 6 magic points left and was on the verge of death!
These 6 points of magic power must not be used again, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to open the gate.
With tears in his eyes, he moved all the things he had moved out back and put them away neatly. The little Blue Devil could finally fit everything in.
After finishing all this, Lin Jiu was exhausted.
He left half of the tentacle uncut, ready to let Si Xu open his eyes. That was why he was injured. Anyone who encountered such a big guy would be injured. Fortunately, he was not a human. If a human encountered it, he would have been killed long ago.
Lin Jiu rinsed the tentacles clean. They were soft and sticky and difficult to shape. Lin Jiu found a medium-sized cooking pot. The medium size was enough. If it was a large cooking pot, the whole little blue demon could probably be stuffed in it.
When the water boiled, Lin Jiu controlled the mechanical arm to pick up half of the tentacle and put it into the pot. Lin Jiu controlled the time, and immediately controlled the mechanical arm to take it out when the meat was the most tender, and put it into the ice pool that had been prepared nearby. This way the tentacle meat would be more elastic and chewy. If you want to eat softer and more tender tentacle meat, you can cut it into small pieces, add seasoning and continue to cook. Now it is just the most basic processing.
Lin Jiu pushed the robotic arm and hoisted the dried tentacles into the living room. Lin Jiu looked left and right. There was no other place to put them except the small living room. Lin Jiu found an oversized wooden pallet from the super smart kitchen, which was as big as a bed board. Lin Jiu dragged it out of the kitchen with great effort and placed it in the living room. Then he controlled the robotic arm to carefully place the tentacles on the wooden pallet. Lin Jiu pushed the robotic arm back to the super smart kitchen, tidied it up briefly, and closed the kitchen.
Lin Jiu wanted to cover it with something, but the biggest thing in the house was the bed sheet. Lin Jiu didn't want to sleep with the bed sheet that covered the little blue devil, so he could only leave it like that.
In order to make it look more beautiful and less scary, Lin Jiu fiddled with it and finally managed to strike a relatively elegant pose, waiting for Si Xu to come over.
Just as Lin Jiu was about to go in, he heard a "ding" sound, and the anti-theft lock began to click open in circles. The door opened, and Si Xu walked in with a basket of roses, and the door closed behind him. Si Xu hesitated for a moment before hanging the door card back on the hook.
Lin Jiu stood in the living room, looking at him eagerly.
"Why are you standing there?" Si Xu changed into guest slippers. He was already worried about the alternative flower basket in his hand and had been thinking of an excuse along the way.
However, when he walked out of the entrance hall, he forgot all about the flower basket and the words. All he saw was a huge tentacle covered with suckers behind Lin Jiu! It was blue and the shape was a bit elegant... But no matter how elegant it was, it couldn't cover up the hideousness of the rough skin and the bowl-sized suckers!
"Surprised?" Lin Jiu stepped aside to let Si Xu fully appreciate the huge tentacles.
Si Xu looked at this thing and it took him a while to find his voice, "Are you surprised or frightened?"
Lin Jiu blinked, looking innocent, "You said you wanted to know why I was injured. It might be a bit mysterious to express it verbally, so I can only prove it with action."
Si Xu stared at Lin Jiu and found that this little guy seemed well-behaved and cold on the surface, but in fact he was full of bad intentions.
Si Xu handed the flower basket that he almost scared away to Lin Jiu, and went closer to check out the giant tentacle.
Lin Jiu was confused: “…”
Someone sent this rose basket when visiting a patient
The more Si Xu looked at it, the tighter his brows frowned. "Is this an octopus tentacle?"
Lin Jiu put the flower basket on the dining table. "It's almost the same. They are all tentacles after all."
The shock in Si Xu's eyes had not yet dissipated. He did not need to see the whole thing. Just a piece of its tentacle could tell what kind of giant octopus it was... It should be an octopus, right? But the color was not very bright. Is there such a blue octopus in the world
The place where the tentacle was cut off was just like a thick tree stump, and the suction cup at the thickest part was so big that it was an understatement. If such a big guy was released, it would definitely be regarded as a monster. However, Lin Xiaojiu, who was bullied as a soft bun, caught such a big guy and used him as food.
Si Xu felt dizzy and had a headache just thinking about it. He didn't even dare to think about how Lin Jiu managed to catch this monster. It was unimaginable.
Si Xu opened his mouth and finally asked what was in his mind, "Why did you... think of catching this?"
Lin Jiu looked very innocent. "I didn't want to catch it, it wanted to eat... it bit me, and I definitely couldn't let it bite me. Then we had a fight, and it died accidentally."
Si Xu: “…”
He heard the word "eat"!
Si Xu thought that he might need a quick-acting heart-saving pill. He pointed at the big tentacle and said, "Although your description lacks a lot of important details, shouldn't this thing be in the sea?"
Lin Jiu nodded, "It's in the sea."
"Then how could it eat you? Did you go into the sea?" Si Xu felt that his heart was a little bit unbearable. If Lin Jiu was entangled by such a monster in the sea, how did he survive? !
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu corrected him seriously, "It didn't eat me, it just wanted to bite me."
Si Xu's calmness and sanity were a little precarious. "Is this the point?"
Lin Jiu looked at him strangely, "How can I catch seafood if I don't go to the sea?"
Si Xu took a few deep breaths and felt his heart was about to stop beating. "You catch seafood by yourself in the sea? Not with a fishing net or a fishing rod?"
Lin Jiu looked at Si Xu's face, afraid of provoking him to do something bad, so he just said: "It's useful, go to the sea occasionally..."
Si Xu: “…”
Si Xu walked aside alone and said, "Wait a moment, I'll take my time."
Lin Jiu looked at the male god facing the wall and began to reflect on himself. Should he be more cautious when speaking the truth? The male god had been stimulated to the point of becoming autistic.
Si Xu came back quickly, his mind ready, he was the calm and steady Si Shen again.
"Come, let's talk about your way of catching seafood." Si Xu led Lin Jiu to the lazy sofa like a child, and they sat face to face. Si Xu was ready to talk to him about the safety issue.
"What's the most important thing when going out to sea? Safety! No matter what happens at any time, your own safety is the most important thing. You must remember this. I don't know where you went to get the goods, but you must not know that just a few days ago, the media reported that two fishing boats disappeared in the Pacific Ocean. The rescue team has been searching and there was some progress yesterday. The rescue team found the wreckage of the fishing boats. It is almost certain that all the people on the two fishing boats were killed."
Lin Jiu listened obediently without any reaction.
Si Xu continued, "Not only this place, but there are also reports of shipwrecks in other seas. The sea has been uneasy recently, and many fishermen dare not go out to sea. Some coastal cities have already issued a sea ban..."
"Doesn't that mean the price of seafood will go up?" Lin Jiu's eyes sparkled.
Si Xu: “…”
Where on earth was his focus?!
Si Xu: "The price has been raised for a week."
Lin Jiu quickly went to find his cell phone, wanting to see what the current price of seafood was, and also to use it as a reference for his invisible fish and the little blue devil. He wanted to make money now. The Buddhist Boss Lin had been eaten by the little blue devil, and now Boss Lin is a money-making machine. Boss Lin wants to make money from his small shop, and he wants to draw blind boxes!
Now, no matter how many Black Star Beads you give him, it is not a big deal. No matter how many Black Star Beads you sell, it is useless if the money does not reach the store account. Working hard to run the store is the right thing to do. Selling Black Star Beads is a side path. Only running a small store is the right way!
