In the evening, it rained on the island.

Chen Xiao was settled in the headquarters, and the room where she lived was like a train car. This is where the advanced technology of the service headquarters stands out, and although the room is not large, almost everything is automatic.

It's obviously on the hill, and you can see the sea directly from a window.

When the wind and rain came, the dark clouds rolled in the sky in the distance, and then you could see a rain curtain falling between heaven and earth, and the rain curtain had not yet reached the island for a while......

The windows here can't be opened, but the ventilation system is advanced, and Chen Xiao soon smells the smell of fresh cháo humid air after the rain.

He sighed, went into the bathroom and took a shower, and the warm water was sprinkled on his body, and his originally somewhat irritable heart gradually calmed down.

Chen Xiao stared at the string of water droplets, his mind moved slightly, and the string of water droplets suddenly cracked in mid-air, turning into countless finer particles, and then slowly floated as his mind moved......

This is a new ability that Chen Xiao has gained since that incident on Baidao Lake: telekinesis.

This ability comes from Monica. That perverted woman. After the investigation of Lao Tian and others, the preliminary result was that she was a jīng god powerhouse.

Telekinesis is a very special ability. Chen Xiao's current ability can use telekinesis to move objects in the air, and even throw things out fiercely, or fix them. According to the test, his telekinesis was determined to be C-class, which was only slightly worse than B-class.

Chen Xiao stared at the dense beads in the air, suddenly clenched his fists, and a strange light flashed in his eyes!

"Woooo

The bead slammed into the mirror in the bathroom. It hit the mirror like a row of bullets, and with a bang, the mirror cracked!

Even the smallest object can hit it with the force of high-speed impact under the control of the mind...... The lethality is also amazing!

From this point of view, it was very easy for Monica to really kill a few people on her side in the resort - Monica's telekinesis was one level stronger than herself!

Repressive substance ...... Purification Elixir...... Engulf...... Copy......

Chen Xiao repeatedly recited these words silently in his heart.

Mom and Dad...... Did you really do that? Is it for me?

Chen Xiao casually draped a bath towel, walked out of the bathroom, and walked barefoot to the window again—besides, it was already raining heavily outside. The sky and the earth are filled with water vapor, and when you look at it, it seems as if everything is misty.

He couldn't help but think of the scene he had experienced before he returned to his room in the evening:

Just after the wheelchair freak Shi Gaofei told him the results of the test, Chen Xiao was once taken into a closed circular conference room-like place.

It was a large, large room, with only a chair in the middle, and a kind of glittering metal wall around it.

Just after Chen Xiao sat on the chair in the middle, soon, the surrounding walls flashed with light. A few images appeared.

It seemed to be more than a dozen windows, and there was a person behind each window, and Chen Xiao sat in the middle of it, just like those people watching through the window......

It's just that. They could see Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao couldn't see them.

The only thing Chen Xiao could see was the pictures on the windows—presumably some kind of metal display screen or something.

There are more than a dozen windows, not all of them have pictures, Chen Xiao silently counted them at that time, and there were only eight windows with pictures on them.

The images shown above are all human figures one by one - these pictures are not portraits of any person, but pictures that most people in this world are familiar with:

Flower cards in playing cards

Black and Red Plum Fang: Four kings. Four queens. Four J's. This adds up to a total of twelve windows.

However, not all twelve face cards exist. Chen Xiao saw it in his eyes: there were two K's missing, and a Q and a J.

"We know everything about you. So it is necessary to ask you a few questions. ”

The sound from the speakers in the room was apparently synthesized and remixed. I can barely distinguish between men and women, but I can't hear the original texture of the sound.

"This is the ISS committee." A man's voice said slowly: "According to the rules of the service society, more than two-thirds of the voters on the committee are valid. Now there are eight members here, which means that our decision can be valid. ”

At that time, Chen Xiao was sitting in a chair: "What do you want to say?" ”

"About you."

Chen Xiao noticed that it was a woman's voice, coming from behind a window of hearts.

"Me?" Chen Xiao raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, you." Q of hearts' voice was steady: "Given that you have been confirmed as an Adept, and that we have been observing you for a while, as well as the full test that has just ended. Our committee would love to admit you to the Service as a full member. ”

Chen Xiao sighed in her heart: What should come, always comes.

He had been reminded by Lao Tian before, with his current level of ability, not to mention that he alone had several abilities, he was already a very prominent leader. Even if his current strength does not have such a level, it is based on his ability to "purify" and "devour". It is also very favored by the service community! In any sense, he is so special that the service must want to absorb him into its own system.

Otherwise...... Chen Xiao's existence. For the supernatural beings in the world, it is really difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse!

"What obligations must be assumed by full members? And what power can you enjoy? Chen Xiao did not answer immediately, but asked a rhetorical question.

All the surrounding flower tiles were silent

In the end, Chen Xiao was answered that Zhang Meihua was a full member, and he would be able to get the treatment of members of the service society around the world, including being recognized by the service society, obtaining the protection of the service society, and at the same time receiving the fixed income and equipment provided by the service society. And many ...... Privilege. ”

"Privileges?" When Chen Xiao heard this word, she felt a little funny.

"Yes, privilege." Mei Blossom J's explanation is very bland: "We are superpowers, although we don't want to interfere too much in this world, but the innate abilities of supernatural abilities make it easy for us to obtain things that ordinary people can't obtain, or are difficult to obtain." status, wealth, power, and so on and so forth. We don't get addicted to these things, but we keep the organization running. We don't deny that in the secular world, there is a certain power in the service community - I say that, I believe you can understand it. ”

Of course Chen Xiao understands.

If nothing else, let's just say that Shi Gaofei's set of "holographic stereoscopic virtual" equipment can be sold to NASA in the United States, which can be imagined......

And this "homeland island"......

"What about obligations, then?" Chen Xiao shook his head: "I know, there is no lunch in vain in the world, what will I give?" ”

"You can't generalize about that." Meihua J's answer was very relaxed: "There are two kinds of official members of the service society. One is the field staff, who have to take on more work. This includes completing missions all over the world. I'm sure Thunderfox, aka J of Spades, must have explained this to you before. Meantime. As a field worker, you have to take responsibility for the local area where you live, such as when there is an abnormal situation that requires you to step up......"

"Like a city hero?" Chen Xiao couldn't help laughing: "I've read the comics, it's like Spider-Man guarding New York, and Batman guarding Carson City...... Is that so? ”

"It's not a good analogy, but in a way, it's so." Plum J replied with a hint of a smile: "We are a group of watchmen. Guard. and wait-and-see. It's our responsibility to the world! It's also an obligation! We don't think of ourselves as a truly privileged class, and we don't think of ourselves as gods...... But. As the first group of human beings to embark on the path of evolution, we have an inescapable responsibility! ”

"Sounds noble." Chen Xiao was noncommittal, just smiled: "Next, you won't say to me that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, right?" ”

The woman's voice spoke: "We are not empty idealists. When we live in this world, we are bound to be swayed by this world. None of this has anything to do with nobility...... I think you should be able to understand what we mean. Theoretically, you can join any organization of abilities. However, we think we are the best choice for you. ”

"Because of the value of my land?" Chen Xiao threw out this topic bluntly.

The other party does not deny: "Yes, we do not deny that your body has a strong research value, and even ...... We believe that the mutation of your body is likely to affect the direction of our group's evolution in the future. After a pause, the Q of hearts suddenly said: "And, judging from your background, it is impossible for you to join the club, right?" In terms of organizational structure, I personally don't think that other small and medium-sized paranormal organizations can make effective use of you. ”

"You mean...... Exploit? ”

"Yes, it's utilization." The words of the Q of hearts are undisguised: "Your value is high, whether it is your ability to change, or your ability to devour copy." Mr. Scroopy has great hopes for keeping you, and we think he is right. However, other organizations in this world, other than us, do not have the complete means of research to make the most of you. ”

"But. It seems too cold to use this word. Chen Xiao pursed her lips.

"It's utilization." Heart's voice was very serious: "We don't want to lie to you, and we won't deceive you with lies." In other words. If I were to inspire you with so-called ideals, or noble words, would you believe it? ”

“…… No, in that case, I'd think you're hypocritical. Chen Xiao sighed.

"So, are you willing to accept it?"

Chen Xiao was silent: "The last question, what if I refuse?" I'm going to be imprisoned by you right away and put in a lab. Waiting to be dissected or sliced? Or will he become an imprisoned guinea pig for experiments? Or do you think my ability to devour replications is a threat to other abilities, and you intend to destroy me from [**]? Shi Gaofei said...... He thinks I'm like a virus! ”

There was silence for a while, and eight voices came at the same time:

"No, it won't. We are watchmen, not cāo controllers, much less interveners. ”

Chen Xiao immediately stood up from the chair, patted his clothes, and deliberately made a relieved look: "Then I'll be relieved, there's nothing to worry about...... Gentlemen and ladies. My answer is the same as before: I say no. "Can you give a reason?"

When Chen Xiao walked out of the conference room, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Shi Gaofei sitting in a wheelchair, blocking the door, looking at Chen Xiao with a heavy face.

"Why?"

"Yes, reason!" Shi Gaofei's eyes were a little annoyed: "Boy, if you are willing to stay, I can make full use of you to conduct research, and these studies will get significant results!" It is likely that these results will affect our future! Evolve! Do you understand? Evolve!! ”

"But you said I was a virus." Chen Xiao touched his nose.

"Hell! That's just a metaphor! Shi Gaofei said angrily: "Do you know your value? I can even develop an anti-depressive agent. I'm working on an inducing potion right now, because my research theory is that supernatural abilities exist in every human body! In the course of human evolution, DNA will continue to change! I want to break the shackles that have always existed in the human body! If I can use your data to do a reverse study, I may be able to invent a new potion. Let all of humanity evolve together! ”

"In other words, any ordinary person, in the note shè this potion you mentioned, can instantly evolve into an alien?" Chen Xiao seemed to smile: "In the world, everyone has become a superman?" ”

"Not exactly!" Shi Gao Fei was a little excited: "And your ability to copy abilities!" There are so many types of lands that have been discovered! After years of research, we can only figure out part of the principle. But there's more to it, we only know how it works, but we can't figure out how it came about! That is, you Chinese say that you know what you say. But I don't know why it's you. But it can help me find a breakthrough in this direction! ”

Chen Xiao looked at Shi Gaofei very seriously, his eyes were very serious. Chen Xiao saw excitement in Shi Gaofei's eyes. I saw the excitement, but also the sincerity.

"I believe in you." He said lightly: "But you alone can't represent the service club." You alone cannot represent the whole world. ”

Standing in the room, Chen Xiao looked at the heavy rain outside and thought about the evening.

Hmph, sublime? Noble? Watch out for the world?

It's not that Chen Xiao is despicable, and it's not that he guesses others with the heart of a villain......

It's just that......

Is there really such a pure and noble ideal in the world?

The United States attacked Iraq and shouted the slogan of liberating the suffering people under Saddam Hussein, but in fact the purpose was to grab oil.

The Spanish colonizers slaughtered the Mayans, shouting the slogan of spreading civilization, but in fact the purpose was to plunder!

The Crusades, under the banner of spreading the faith in God, were actually for ......

Purely acting as a "watchman" of this world?

Chen Xiao has always put a big question mark on this statement in her heart! The next morning, it was the "waiter" under Shi Gaofei who knocked on the door of Chen Xiao's room. This woman still asked Chen Xiao to come out after dressing up in a polite manner.

And then. She told Chen Xiao that she would send him away.

Chen Xiao returned to Shi Gaofei's place, and the wheelchair freak did one last examination of his body. Then with an almost greedy attitude again, a lot of samples were collected on Chen Xiao's body, if he wasn't still sensible, I'm afraid he would be eager to drain all of Chen Xiao's blood and keep it!

"How about we make a private pact?" Before leaving, Shi Gaofei took Chen Xiao's hand.

His other hand pressed a button on the armrest of the wheelchair.

Immediately, around the two of them, a transparent light curtain appeared. Shrouded the two in it.

"It's a shield I made myself." Shi Gaofei said lightly: "Now the words of the two of us, no one will hear or peep!" Include...... The people of the Service Agency! ”

Chen Xiao looked at Shi Gaofei's fingers grabbing his wrist: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I need your help, my research will have a huge impact on the world!" Shi Gaofei said coldly: "So, even if you refuse to join the service club, I still hope to get your help." Don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to my conditions first! ”

“…… Go ahead. ”

"In the future, I will send people to you regularly to collect blood samples from your body. I need to monitor your body regularly...... Especially later, when you get a new ability! Because I've found that every time you get a new ability. There are some changes in your DNA that I can't explain! These changes are very important to me, and I need to find some kind of pattern in them! I will send a waiter to look for you, and I will look for you from time to time. ”

"I don't seem obligated to do that." Chen Xiao frowned.

"I won't let you cooperate in vain." Shi Gao Fei smiled very slyly: "You probably don't know who I am yet!" In the service club, all the technology is under my control! All the members use equipment, what detectors, electromagnetic products, and even all the potions...... It can be said that everything here is in my own hands! ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"I'll give you the benefits!" Shi Gaofei's smile at the moment was like a devil who tempted people to sin: "What do you want?" The latest detector? All features are state-of-the-art! It's not the kind of parallel goods that circulate outside! The latest electromagnetic weapon? Flight suits? Stealth camouflage cortex? Everything! I can provide it to you! Aren't you with those old guys in Lao Tian right now? Didn't they set up a commission society? You will also accept the commission in the future. How much help will you get with my equipment when you're in the field? Think for yourself! ”

After speaking, he stuffed something into Chen Xiao's palm. Then he clasped Chen Xiao's hand tightly and winked at Chen Xiao: "Take it, this thing is my meeting gift!" I'll send someone for you again. ”

After passing the strange elevator, I left the headquarters of the service agency, and when I came out, I came to the platform halfway up the mountain when I came in yesterday.

Chen Xiao walked out and saw Lao Tian standing at the door, with a steam engine car parked next to him. Merely. It's not the Black Seven driving the car this time, oh. She should be called Soso now. Because in the current service club, the code name of Black Seven already belongs to someone else.

The contact person who drove the car this time was a young boy who didn't look much older than Chen Xiao.

When Lao Tian saw Chen Xiao come out, he didn't ask anything, just went up and patted him on the shoulder: "Everything is done?" So let's get in the car, we're ready to leave here and go home. ”

A sincere smile appeared on the corner of Chen Xiao's mouth.

He vaguely felt that Lao Tian had agreed with his decision not to join the service club from the beginning, although he didn't know why. It stands to reason that Lao Tian, the old man of the service club, should want to join himself, right?

The steam car did not send the two back to the Champagne Inn, but went straight to the docks.

Their yacht was already filled with oil, and Chen Xiao saw the people on the dock, carrying strange metal drums one by one into the cabin of the yacht.

"It's all stuff I purchased...... Oh, and these are cell repair fluids. Alas, the price has risen too much recently, and the price of a barrel has risen to nine hundred and eighty...... "Lao Tian sighed: "I only have a total of five thousand five hundred fast in my hand." I can't buy too much, in addition to the cell repair solution, I have to buy some other equipment that is depleted. Now a set of parallel anti-magnetic leather suits costs 200 yuan! Damn it...... Prices are skyrocketing. It seems that the next time I come, I will have to get a little more money. ”

After speaking, Lao Tian waved goodbye to the people who carried the goods on the ship: "Thank you, guys!" Next time you come back, please have a beer with Old Billy's house. ”

Seeing Lao Tian start the yacht casually, the yacht slowly left the dock......

"Isn't there anything you want to ask me?" Chen Xiao stood next to Lao Tian.

Lao Tian took a cigarette from his ear that had been clipped to it, sniffed it, and then lit it: "Ask you what?" You have already made a decision yourself, and I asked in vain. ”

Watch as the yacht leaves the dock. In the distance, the town of the homeland is in sight......

Chen Xiao suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

In fact, until the position just now, he was ready: those people from the service club said good words, but before he left the island, maybe a team of people would suddenly appear, forcibly arrest him, and then lock him up!

However, the yacht is getting farther and farther away from the island......

Did they really just let me go? Didn't mean to stop it in the slightest?

Could it be ...... Are the people of the service club really a group of noble idealists?

Chen Xiao suddenly felt a relief in his heart, but in fact, he seemed to be relaxed. But the nerves have been tense, and once they relax at this moment, they can't help but feel a little weak, and they sit down on the chair next to them.

"Lao Tian...... Can you tell me that my decision was the right one? Chen Xiao was suddenly a little dazed.

"I can't tell if it's right or wrong." Lao Tian continued to drive the yacht without looking back, and said lightly: "I only know one thing: my own destiny is in control of myself." Any life...... All deserve respect! And the first and foremost of respect is dúlì and zìyóu! Isn't it? ”

"But. You are a member of the service society, shouldn't you ......"

"Don't forget, I'm retired." Lao Tian finally turned around and smiled at Chen Xiao: "I'm a zìyóu person now!" ”

The yacht soon left the island. All the way to the east, I once again crossed the white misty area.

Two hours later, the yacht was on the surface of the South Pacific Ocean.

The sun shines on the sea, and from a distance, a golden wave rolls, and the sky is as blue as a wash.

Chen Xiao was still a little depressed, but finally felt a little more comfortable with the open sea view, he leaned on the deck and looked up at the sky. Let the sea breeze blow your hair.

Suddenly. He heard a gurgling sound from the cabin beside him, as if something had fallen.

Presumably the hull swayed. The barrel with cell repair solution in the cabin is poured.

"Go in and have a look, Chen Xiao." Lao Tian drove with peace of mind: "Those things are very expensive, be careful not to spill them." ”

Chen Xiao got into the cabin, but after a glance, he was stunned!

On a bucket filled with cell repair solution, the lid was opened, and a girl was trying to drill out of the bucket, half of her body had come out, her hands were supported on the edge of the bucket, and she was trying to pull her legs out......

Seeing Chen Xiao walk in, the girl was stunned for a moment and stared at Chen Xiao for a while

The two looked at each other, as if they had forgotten to speak for a moment.

Finally, the girl smiled wryly, and her eyes were a little weak.

"Hey! Hello. Her braids were scattered: "You...... Can you help me? I feel like I'm stuck. ”

Chen Xiao swallowed and foamed.

"What's wrong? Is the cell repair solution alright? Lao Tian's voice came from outside, followed by footsteps.

When Lao Tian walked into the cabin and saw the girl standing in the bucket, the originally generous smile on the face of this good old man immediately became as if he had seen a ghost!

Raised her hand and pointed at the girl: the girl sighed, looked at Lao Tian's eyes with some pity, and whispered kindly: "This...... You can call it if you want...... Don't suffocate and hurt your body. ”

"Ah!!!!!!!h

Lao Tian's exclamation. The girl covered her ears with her hands, and her expression seemed to be very pitiful and innocent.

After Lao Tian finished calling, he immediately rushed up. Both hands lifted the girl out of the bucket, then picked up the bucket and flipped it over, trying to pour it down......

"Don't pour it, there's not a drop of water in it." The girl stood next to her and smiled, "If there is water, how can I hide?" ”

"My Cell Repair Solution !!!" Lao Tian glared at the girl angrily: "Champagne!" What the hell are you doing! Where's my cell repair solution! ”

Champagne pursed her lips and looked indifferent: "Naturally, I poured it out." ”

"What about you! What are you doing here!! Lao Tian glared at the female owner of the inn.

Champagne seemed to have some disdain: "Do you still need to ask about this?" Naturally, he ran away from home. ”

Lao Tian stared at the champagne hatefully for a while, and then rushed out of the cabin: "Turn around!" Let's go back to the island! I'll send you back! And also. You have to compensate me for the loss of my land!! ”

Champagne was not in a hurry, and followed Lao Tian out of the cabin leisurely, just leisurely watching Lao Tian driving the yacht as if he was about to turn around.

"Are you really sure you want to do this? Dear Uncle Tian? "Nonsense!" Lao Tian was furious.

"Okay." Champagne sighed, sat down, and said with a slow smile: "It's not impossible for you to send me back, I will be scolded by my mother at most after I go back, and then continue to be my innkeeper." But you're miserable, Lao Tian. ”

"I, what am I miserable about?"

Champagne had a surprised expression on her face: "Don't you understand this?" Because of me, of course! If you send me back, I must hate you! You want to. When you go back to the island in the future, don't think about staying at my inn. And, I'll tell all the people on the island that no one is allowed to sell you anything in the future! Not to mention the cell repair solution, even if it's a second-hand geomagnetic helmet, I guarantee you can't buy it. Hehe, you shouldn't be unaware of my influence on the island, right? ”

Champagne said, shaking a pair of calves and looking at Lao Tian with a smile.

"......" Lao Tian swallowed his saliva and stared at the champagne. Not a word can be uttered.

He knows that this little girl is so beautiful, and I don't know how many young people on the island think about her! With her influence, just move your mouth. Maybe after they go to the island in the future, those young people really won't sell their things!

"Also, I'm the only inn on the island, so if you go to the island in the future, please sleep on the beach." Champagne continued to make threats.

Lao Tian's hand holding the rudder paused.

"If you take me away, I won't give you benefits." Champagne smiled slightly: "Two barrels of repair liquid, how about it?" Plus 50,000 Service Coins! Well...... That's all I've saved. ”

Lao Tian thought for a while, and almost squeezed out two words from between his teeth:

"Deal!"

"Oh yes!" Champagne jumped in one fell swoop. A few steps to the bow of the boat. Open arms and cheer: "Milan! Paris!! Vogue!! Nameplate!! Perfume!! Leather bag!! lv！！！ Gucci!! Versace !! I'm coming!!!! I want a brand!!! ”

After shouting, the girl sat down on the deck. Quickly wrenched his fingers: "I want to buy a set of designer fashion!" Ah, and perfume! Let's buy a dozen Chanels first! And jewelry, well, Bulgari! And Ferrari sports cars! Maybach is okay too...... By the way, I'm going to see the Milan summer fashion show......"

Lao Tian next to her coldly stimulated her: "You said this, it is very expensive in the outside world!" Do you have money from the outside world? Outside, the island's currency is not available! ”

"It's okay." Champagne smiled sweetly: "I don't have it, but you do." ”

Lao Tian: "............"
