Chapter 1: Chen Haidong (II)
The Paranormal Ability Newspaper, the largest student-founded newspaper in the Pilot Zone, is headquartered in District 5 and has branches in each college, in fact, each of which publishes its own section, except for a few specific content sections. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Since the newspaper was originally founded as a club, although its status is now much more formal than that of ordinary clubs, the Times still participates in joint activities at the school district level, and the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper are directly addressed as president and vice president in informal settings.
The newspaper office in the Eleventh College District is located in a free-standing three-story spire building adjacent to a residential area. It is said that the first president did not hesitate to ask for tens of millions of dollars from his real estate father in order to buy it, and his father's only comment on this was: worthy of my son, he really has an investment vision.
But to his father's disappointment, the rich and headstrong former president rented the building, which was considered private property, to the newspaper for free after graduation.
At present, the newspaper has a total of 11 permanent members, excluding a few special correspondents. Except for the two receptions on the first floor, the rest of the studios are all on the second floor. Haidong stood at the door, reached out and took out a piece of colored paper from his pocket, it looked like a movie ticket, but it was only partial, Haidong took the broken movie ticket and looked at it, and put it back in his pocket.
In class today, I guess there are few people. Haidong thought to himself and pushed open the unlocked wooden door.
In fact, as Haidong expected, as soon as he entered the room, there was no one on the spacious first floor, and presumably there was no one on the second floor, so Haidong walked up the spiral wooden staircase to the second floor.
There is an anti-theft door on the stairs leading to the second floor, but in order to prevent this large iron door from being incompatible with the wooden style in the building, I don't know whose idea put a wooden board of the same size on the anti-theft door, only punching holes in the card swiping area and handle, when I first came, I couldn't help but want to laugh every time I saw this weird door Haidong.
After a confirmation of "Di", the sound of the door lock being unlocked also sounded, and Haidong gently pushed the door open, and after entering, he gently closed the door.
Unlike the open plan on the first floor, the second floor is divided into cubicles on both sides of a corridor, where editors in charge of different sections have their own separate studios. Haidong walked straight inside and stopped in front of the room on the right at the end of the hallway. On the wooden door of the room hung a small sign: Deputy Editor-in-Chief Office
"Knock knock." Haidong knocked on the door a few times, but for some reason, it was just a simple work relationship, but now it made Haidong a little nervous. It must have something to do with what Liu Mogang said, Haidong thought.
"Please come in." The voice inside the door seemed to come from a mature woman.
Haidong pushed open the door, and there was no one on the chair opposite the table in front of him, and when he caught a glimpse of two chairs placed on the wall on the left side of the room, the vice president was sitting there.
"Come and sit."
Haidong turned around and looked at the vice president, but he happened to meet the purple eyes of the vice president, and quickly subconsciously lowered his head, and put his eyes on the white long legs that naturally stretched under the vice president's skirt, but after looking at it for two seconds, a strange feeling welled up in his heart, which scared Haidong and swallowed his saliva, so he had to turn his head slightly and move his gaze away.
"Come and sit, I don't eat people." This mature senior sister felt a little funny when she saw Haidong's nervous appearance.
"Ahem" Haidong took a deep breath and hurriedly coughed twice, and his mentality finally calmed down. He answered, walked quickly to the chair next to the senior sister and sat down.
The vice president's name is Xu Shangling, one year older than Haidong, sixteen years old, with an ability value of 577, with unforgettable long dark blue hair and a pair of intoxicating lilac eyes, and a golden star-shaped earring hanging from the left ear slightly peeking out from the long hair. Her perfectly proportioned tall figure is also absolutely eye-catching: the knee-length blue wrinkled skirts worn by other girls are like short skirts on her, revealing a pair of long white legs that are tight and free of excess fat, plus a new pair of lace white canvas shoes that give people a feeling of youthful vitality.
Haidong called her Senior Sister Ling when he first joined the newspaper three months ago, but changed her name to Sister Ling after being met with strong opposition (probably because of the breadth and depth of the Chinese sentences). Xu Shangling is from Dusk Academy, Haidong has learned that this beautiful angelic senior sister has many suitors in the entire school district, it should be said that there are a lot, and she doesn't seem to be interested in anyone, she comes to work at the newspaper on time after class every day, according to the seniors of the newspaper, the security door on the second floor is set up to stop Sister Ling's crazy suitors.
However, God seems to deliberately not make things perfect, and the only thing that seems to be perfect Xu Shangling may be imperfect is his flat chest.
"Looking at the nervous look you just now, did you think that there was a typo in the last issue of the newspaper and you were going to deduct your salary?"
When Haidong heard this, he nodded again and again. His job as an editor in the newspaper is text proofreading, coupled with his usual money habits, so it is no wonder that Xu Shangling thinks so.
"Although you are a newcomer who has just arrived, you are very serious about your work." Xu Shangling raised his leg and gently kicked Haidong's knee.
"That's good, that's good." Haidong smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch his head, he knew that although Xu Shangling was very cold to those followers, he was very good to his colleagues, coupled with her big sister's big sister-like personality, it still felt very relaxed.
"Do you feel bored at work right now? Proofreading is a kind of work that anyone can't stand for a long time. β
"I'm okay, after all, I'm looking for a job to ease the burden on my grades, and I can do any job well." Haidong said that he was secretly speculating in his heart about what the vice president was looking for him to do.
"Okay, then I'll have something to say," Shang Ling suddenly changed her speaking style, maybe she herself felt that this kind of gradual questioning method was not suitable for her.
"Actually, I didn't call you here for official business, it was my private request. Your ability is to find things, right? β
"Heart's Eye." Haidong replied, and then added, "Well, about the same." β
"That's right, well, my stuff was stolen yesterday, help me find out who the murderer is, I'm going to kill him." Xu Shangling, who felt that she was still a big sister just now, suddenly became a little slumped, and even her stretched legs were uneasy to retract, and Haidong naturally noticed these details.
"What's that?" Haidong asked.
Xu Shangling blushed and whispered, "My, underwear." β
"Poof!"
The two were silent for a while, and finally it was Shangling who broke the embarrassing scene.
"Okay, I didn't treat you as an outsider to tell you about this kind of thing, so you just said that you can't help."
"Help, I'll definitely help." Haidong thought to himself that he had told me this kind of thing, and if I didn't help, I guess that the crime would be no better than that thief, and if I didn't find the thief, maybe he would use me as a scapegoat. There is also a murderer, it's not that exaggerated, it's just a pervert to die, but Haidong recalled Shangling's serious look when he just said that he was going to kill that guy, as if he had seen the tragic image of himself after becoming a scapegoat.
Thinking of this, Haidong couldn't help but shudder, and carefully explained: "That Sister Ling, my ability doesn't work like this, my mind can find the connection between things, and the physical object can find out where it has stayed through these connections, that is, I need enough information." β
Xu Shangling stared at Haidong for a while, as if he was observing whether Haidong had ulterior motives, but when he saw Haidong's eyes that didn't look like he was lying, he immediately agreed: "Okay, just do what you say." β
"Then first of all, Sister Ling, did you steal a set or only the top or... Bottom. Haidong scratched his face and asked embarrassedly.
"Both pieces, both of them were above, and both were stolen from hanging on the balcony of the apartment." Xu Shangling seemed to have lost his shy expression just now in an instant, and replied without hesitation.
"Could it be blown away by the wind or something?" Haidong unconsciously looked at Sister Ling's chest, this girl who exuded allure to the opposite sex from hair to feet seemed to have only one horse Pingchuan's chest was the so-called "safe area" in the eyes of boys. Haidong really didn't want to believe that anyone would be interested in Senpai's boobs.
"Impossible." Xu Shangling immediately denied it. "How can it be the same twice, and if I'm not mistaken, the last time it was stolen was on this day last year."
"Last time was a year ago?" Haidong was a little surprised, what a persistent pervert this must be. "Well, if it's definitely artificial, as long as it's not the ability to teleport, I'm confident that I can find it."
"Really? Then I'll leave it to you, if I can find the murderer, I'll have a reward. Xu Shangling seemed to be satisfied with Haidong's answer.
"But I need to look at things that are related to the original." Haidong said to himself, not noticing that his eyes had been staring at Shang Ling's chest for a long time, maybe he subconsciously regarded this place as a "safe zone".
"You get out." Xu Shangling suddenly ordered with a straight face.
"Huh?" Haidong obviously hasn't recovered yet.
"I said let you out." Shangling repeats.
"Oh." Haidong, who didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, only knew that he had been ordered to be evicted, so he had no choice but to get up and leave.
Haidong gently closed the door and stood outside the door, really not understanding how the senior sister changed her face so quickly. He had gone through what had just happened, as if he had sensed something.
(Oh my God, I said look at the things that are related to the original, Senpai doesn't think I'm going to look at her breasts, I just need to see where it was placed before, not necessarily when it's worn on my body.) οΌ
What to do now, Haidong didn't know, he only knew that he had gone far, and it seemed that there was no turning back. The thought of running away flashed many times in his heart, but this was where he worked, and Xu Shangling was his top boss, so he could hide from the first year of junior high school, but he couldn't hide from the fifteenth. So Haidong still gave up the idea of running away, he thought about it, and asked tentatively: "Senior sister, I was wrong, can you listen to my explanation?" β
"Don't come in now." The voice inside was very strong.
(Not allowed in now?) Haidong thought silently in his heart. In other words, you can go in later, so what is the senior sister doing in there now?
"Masakaβ" An impure thought flashed through Haidong's heart.
Just like in the most old-fashioned script, two villains, one black and one white, appeared on Haidong's head, and the white villain hurriedly said: "Explain it to the senior sister quickly, just go to her residence and take a look." β
The black villain retorted with an idiotic expression: "What do you know, such a rare opportunity, there is no second time in this life if you miss it." β
The two villains fought, but the white villain was completely at a disadvantage, and finally the black villain kicked the unprepared white villain out of the distance with a roundabout kick, and at this moment Haidong seemed to have made a choice.
"It's time to come in."
Haidong took a few deep breaths and found that it was useless, he pressed the handle to push the door open, and said silently in his heart (just look, just look)
The blue and white school uniform on Xu Shangling's body had been replaced by a white long-sleeved shirt, without buttons, and only two hands were tightly together, she glanced at Haidong, her expression suddenly became cold, and she said coldly: "Your mind has changed." β
"Huh?" Haidong snorted unnaturally.
"My ability is mind reading, don't think I don't know what you're thinking right now."
(What?) Mind reading? Hearing Shangling's words, Haidong knew that his dirty thoughts of fake public fat and selfishness in his heart were completely exposed. (It's over, it's really over now, what should I do, is it too late to kneel down and admit my mistake now?) οΌ
Haidong just wants to find a hole to get into now, and he won't hesitate even if it's a dung pit. Seeing Haidong's bitter expression, Xu Shangling couldn't help laughing.
"Lied to you, I didn't expect to see that you are usually honest, and you really have such obscene thoughts about your senior sister."
"Me." Haidong scratched his head, glanced at Shang Ling's face embarrassedly, and then quickly lowered his head.
"Forget it, I've figured it out, even if it's cheap, you can't be cheap that dead pervert. But in the front, if you disappoint Sister Ling and me this time, you have to be careful in the future. β
"En-en-en." Haidong nodded again and again, now he only knows what his senior sister says, and he will do whatever he does.
"Then you look up and just look at it."
Haidong raised his head, subconsciously turned on his ability, and opened his heart and eyes that could only see the inner connection of objects.
Haidong's three eyes were firmly fixed on Shang Ling's shirt that was gently pulled open, and when he turned on the ability, his whole body would be highly concentrated, so he eliminated the distractions in his heart, but at the same time, he also ignored the already flushed face of the senior sister who was usually very large.
However, this wonderful scene only lasted for a second, and by the time Haidong came back to his senses, the senior sister had already pulled on her clothes. Although the moment that made Haidong feel full of power just now was frozen in his mind like a photo, no matter how Haidong used his ability, he could only get one message from this photo: purple...
"Is that enough?" Xu Shangling turned his back and began to button the buttons.
(Naturally, it's not enough, it's too fast, I can't see anything except the color.) Haidong thought to himself, but quickly replied, "Enough, enough." He really couldn't imagine what would happen next if he really couldn't say enough, as an old virgin, his heart had already endured enough.
"And what else do you need now?" Xu Shangling had already buttoned his buckle and turned his head to look at Haidong.
"Well, I need to go to your quarters and have a look." Haidong answered honestly, in fact, this is the most important link.
"My dorm?" Shang Ling thought about it, but nodded in agreement. "Come to the newspaper office after school in the afternoon to find me."
.......
"So that's what it is." Haidong leaned against the school gate and said to Liu Mo in front of him.
After school in the afternoon, Haidong had an appointment with Xu Shangling's senior sister, so he had to refuse Liu Mo's proposal to go to karaoke together, and he reluctantly made up a story under Liu Mo's questioning, probably because he was called to deal with the work, and then overheard the senior sister say that something was lost, so please use my ability to help her find it. (Haidong naturally knew that the inappropriate part of the bridge that really happened at noon could never be said, but there didn't seem to be anything else to say, so he had to make up a story to fool the past)
"I didn't see it, I heard that Senior Sister Xu Shangling's cold attitude towards boys is well-known in the entire Eleventh Academy, and I actually want to ask you to explain that you already have a good chance, but I didn't expect you to chase Senior Sister quite a set."
Haidong was patted on the shoulder by Liu Mo, who was half a head shorter than him, like a big brother praising a little brother, and he always felt a little awkward. He explained with a wry smile: "I just said something wrong, I took the initiative to ask to help the senior sister, what else do I have a chance to mess up, I and the senior sister are just a simple colleague relationship, besides, so many geniuses with a capacity value of six or seven hundred and the rich second generation can not let the senior sister take a look at it more, just me, the poor second generation of more than three hundred, you also think too highly of me." β
"Alright, don't think so." Liu Mo comforted, "Men have to have confidence in themselves, and if you are a strong type like a senior sister, you may like to be stupid and weak." β
βstopοΌβ Haidong interrupted. "If you're comforting me, stop here, I don't have any sense of loss, but I don't feel right when I hear you say that."
"Well, I'll go with you." Liu Mo didn't seem to hear what Haidong was saying at all.
Hearing Liu Mo say that he wanted to go together, Haidong was a little anxious: "Hey, I'm just going to find something, don't make a mess, okay." After all, how can Liu Mo know about such a thing as looking for underwear, in case this matter spreads, it would be strange that he must not be beaten to death by the suitors of his senior sister.
"What's the trouble, I'm here to help you, someone like you who doesn't know how to cherish the opportunity when he encounters it."
"I'll tell you the truth, Senior Sister Shangling is good everywhere, but she is a flat-chested girl, and what I like is a girl with big breasts." After Haidong finished speaking, he couldn't wait to give himself a slap, what the hell is this excuse for thinking.
Liu Mo's reaction was not what Haidong expected, I saw her staring at Haidong with wide eyes and a look of surprise, and subconsciously peeked at her chest, and said angrily: "Stupid Haidong, you pervert!" I'll never pay attention to you again. With that, he turned around and ran away.
Seeing that Liu Mo's reaction was still within an acceptable range, Haidong breathed a sigh of relief and muttered a few words in a low voice: "What's wrong with boys liking big-breasted girls, besides, your scale is not small, it looks like I'm talking about you." As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to notice the disdainful gazes of the people around him, and Haidong realized that he had been watched, and what was even worse was that he was regarded as a scumbag who was dumped by his girlfriend, he quickly lowered his head, and left the scene quickly in three steps and two steps, secretly praying that the onlookers did not have acquaintances he knew, otherwise he would not know what strange rumors would come out the next day.
After a while, Haidong came to the newspaper office, and said hello to the two hospitality girls who were sitting together on the first floor watching comedy on a tablet and laughing, and then went straight to the second floor.
"Knock knock".
Haidong cautiously knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered, but after a while the door opened.
"No need to come in." Xu Shangling, who opened the door, looked a little cold, which made Haidong, who was just about to say hello, swallow his saliva.
Xu Shangling turned around and picked up the shoulder bag on the table and put it on his body, then walked to the door, looked at Haidong, Haidong hurriedly took a few steps back to make way out, Xu Shangling walked out and closed the door with his hand, it seemed that he should have been ready to leave.
"Come with me." Xu Shangling glanced at Haidong, and regardless of his reaction, he turned around and left directly. Haidong had to follow honestly, but he didn't know why the senior sister's attitude changed so much.
Going down to the first floor, Xu Shangling glanced at the two girls who were laughing forward and backwards, strode up to the two girls, and slapped the table suddenly, so frightened that the two girls immediately stood up and hurriedly took off the headphones.
"You two, this is not one of those undisciplined clubs in the academy, nor is it a place for you to hang out casually, this is your job, if you don't want to do it, you can leave at any time."
Seeing the two girls clinging to each other, they didn't dare to raise their heads, although they had heard of it, but now it was the first time that Haidong had seen Xu Shangling take his work so seriously.
"Hey." Xu Shangling sighed, and his attitude seemed to soften a little: "The working time in the afternoon is only three hours, I don't care how the two of you divide it, but during this time, I have to see a person standing at the front desk working at any time, understand?" β
The two girls nodded their heads.
Xu Shangling didn't say much, walked to the door and glanced at Haidong, and Haidong followed out knowingly.
It was getting late, but there were still a lot of pedestrians on the side of the road, and the two of them walked on the road one after the other, Haidong stared at Xu Shangling's back, and then called up the virtual interface to look at the time, and then repeated these two actions. But in the end, I couldn't help but say tentatively:
"Senior Sister Shangling (once Haidong gets serious, he will still call it that, he thinks this title is more formal), if it's because of the noon incident, I'm really sorry, it's really because it's too sudden, no, no, no, it's all my fault."
Xu Shangling stopped and looked back at Haidong's eyes: "How many times have you said don't call me that, it sounds very uncomfortable, and besides, I was a little irritable just now because of other things, it has nothing to do with you, don't think about it." β
"Oh, that's good." Haidong rubbed the back of his head, seeing that although the senior sister was blaming, she didn't seem to be angry, and thought that she was really worried.
"The noon agreement is still valid, if you can help me find the prisoner, I will invite you to eat, and you can choose the place..."
Xu Shangling stopped suddenly, but Haidong was not surprised at all, because he also felt something - just now, a figure almost touched his left shoulder and instantly reached behind him, the reason why it was instantaneous was because the person was very fast, so fast that Haidong could barely see his face clearly, and could only roughly feel that it was a man. And what surprised him the most was that the moment that person walked up to him, he clearly felt that a strong wind hit his left body as forcefully and accurately as a wave, making the defenseless Haidong's body lean back slightly.
This is an ability, and it is a wind ability, Haidong naturally thought of it, but what he didn't expect was that Xu Shangling's face in front of him suddenly became solemn.
"Brother Long." Xu Shangling opened his mouth and shouted.
Haidong subconsciously turned around, he was sure that Xu Shangling was calling the person just now, because if nothing else, he already knew who that person was.
However, to Haidong's surprise, the man was actually standing two steps away from him, and he seemed to stop, with the speed he had just now, Haidong thought that he should have disappeared.
"Yo, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you outside at this point in time." The man turned his head and said with a smile.
In fact, before seeing the man's face, Haidong had already determined his judgment, Haidong knew this person, or the entire eleventh school district couldn't find a few people who didn't know him.
Wang Zhenglong, the student president of Dawn College in the 11th school district, has an ability value of 7795, a wind controller, he has a handsome face and a model-like straight figure, which makes the black school uniform that usually looks ordinary seem to be specially customized on him, and the long golden hair seems to be fluttering in the wind at any time, making it even more eye-catching.
A typical genius plus a scholar plus a rich and handsome, in front of such a proud son of the sky, all Haidong can feel is the gap, the so-called gap between heaven and earth. He didn't even know how to communicate with this kind of person normally, but after all, as a member of the student council, it was still necessary to say hello to the student council.
"President" Haidong just calmed down.
Wang Zhenglong just glanced at Haidong, but did not stop at Haidong, and nodded in response.
"Is it over?" Xu Shangling looked at Wang Zhenglong, a little hesitant when he spoke, and there was less confidence in his voice, Haidong seemed to see the gloom in Xu Shangling's eyes at the moment.
"Well, it's over." Wang Zhenglong took his eyes off Haidong and gave the answer in a deep voice.
"Could it be him?"
"I don't think so, but the decision can't be changed without change."
"Then why did you come to me on purpose?"
"Why did I come to you on purpose, I obviously met you by chance, okay?" Wang Zhenglong wanted to pretend to make a joke to ease the serious atmosphere, but found that Xu Shangling's expression had not changed at all, so he put away his smile: "Everyone has a different view on things, some people like to start from the overall situation, and some people just want to get results..."
"Think back to a few of us when we didn't have a disagreement, but again, as long as you think there is someone here who is more innocent than him, then the decision you made is not wrong."
Wang Zhenglong paused for a moment, looked at Haidong sideways, Haidong was listening energetically, came back to his senses and found that Wang Zhenglong was staring at him, and quickly turned his head to make a humming song... Although he knew that this trick was old and stupid, he could only deceive the fool, but fortunately, Wang Zhenglong didn't care too much.
"Since the result cannot be changed, if you have any dissatisfaction, blame it all on me, although I firmly believe that I am in order to maintain order, but I have never considered myself a good person. Also, I just hope you're all okay. β
"I don't blame anyone." Xu Shangling rubbed his eyes and tried his best to put on a flat expression, "I can't judge who is right and who is wrong, I just feel a little uneasy in my heart." β
"Hmph, that's the best I can think of." Wang Zhenglong turned around, and didn't seem to intend to stay any longer.
"But the so-called justice, at least you must first believe that it is justice."
A violent wind blew up from all sides without warning, and the pedestrians around them slowed down and turned their gaze, and Haidong even had to lower himself to ensure that he was not moved. And he could see that Wang Zhenglong, who was standing at the intersection of the wind, had already flown out like an arrow from a string under the action of the wind.
The wind gradually stopped, and Haidong straightened up and patted the dust that didn't exist on his body.
(It's really unfair, why can this kind of handsome B still have such a pretending ability?) Haidong thought to himself, sighed softly, and turned his head to look at Xu Shangling. Xu Shangling's gaze still stayed on where Wang Zhenglong was standing, and there was still a wisp of confusion on his pretty face.
After a long while, Xu Shangling came back to her senses, she grabbed her long dark blue hair in front of her eyebrows blown by the wind, smiled at Haidong with some apologies, and explained softly:
"I'm sorry, it's some private matter, and I wasted a lot of your time."
This was the first time Haidong had heard Xu Shangling's soft voice, and he hurriedly replied: "It's okay, it's okay for me to go home anyway." β
"Hmm." Xu Shangling nodded, "It's not too early, let's go faster." β
Xu Shangling's girls' apartment is only two streets away from Haidong's boys' apartment. However, both in terms of scale and facility construction, Haidong has a sense of inferiority, and it is true that a poor B like him, who is only in his thirties every month, can only afford to live in the worst apartment in the school district.
The elevator just stopped on the first floor, Xu Shangling opened the elevator door and walked in, Haidong followed, but the moment he walked into the elevator door, he felt that something was hitting him behind him, he looked back and looked around, but found that there was no one around.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shangling asked.
"It's nothing, it feels like there's someone behind me just now." Haidong replied. "Shut the door, I guess I'm wrong."
"Hmm." Xu Shangling pressed the button of the number eleven, and then pressed the button to close the door.
Haidong leaned against the inner wall of the elevator, his eyes fixed on the changing numbers on the electronic display board, and his mind kept repeating what had happened today. (Hey, I first looked at my senior sister's chest, and now I'm going to my senior sister's house again, and things that I usually can't dream of really happening, but now I can't wait to just dream, if it's a dream, as long as I open my eyes, I don't have to worry about anything.) οΌ
"I spend a very short time in the apartment every day." Xu Shangling suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Haidong's thoughts. "So the room isn't very neat, don't mind too much."
"Uh." Haidong nodded repeatedly.
The elevator went all the way to the eleventh floor. The door opened at the sound of a ding-dong.
The moment he stepped out of the elevator door, Haidong had already turned on the ability - his so-called heart eye. Under the effect of the eye of the heart, the scenes in front of him and even the previous scenes appeared in front of Haidong one by one like photos. All things exist and develop in accordance with causal connections, and his abilities can find those connections and find the information he needs through those connections.
For example, if he sees a cup on the table, through the connection with the cup, he finds the person who put the cup on the table, and through the connection with this person, he finds the coffee table where the cup was originally located, and through this coffee table, he finds the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and even finds another person who put this fruit bowl. In short, the ability gives him video clips that can be related for a period of time, but the job of retrieving information from these many and messy clips is still up to him. Now Haidong's eyes were completely focused on the door in front of Xu Shangling, and he was rummaging through the content he could obtain within his ability, hoping to find some useful information from it.
However, what disappointed Haidong was that during the period of time that he could see, except for Xu Shangling himself and a tea-haired girl, he had never seen anyone in or out, but the tea-haired girl appeared with Xu Shangling last night, and it was definitely not the pervert he was looking for.
"Didn't you find anything?" Xu Shangling saw Haidong's slightly disappointed expression.
Haidong nodded.
"Come in and have a look."
Haidong stood outside the door and looked around, it was indeed a little messy, the shoes at the door were arranged in a straight row, and the shoe rack next to it became an ornament. The room that originally looked spacious was filled with chairs, one east and one west, with clothes behind almost every chair, and the sofa was full of clothes and skirts, and various magazines and newspapers were scattered on the table and floor. But other than that, there is no garbage or anything like that, and it is much better than the rotten girl room with the smell of instant noodles in snack bags and drink bottles that Haidong imagined.
Xu Shangling kicked away a magazine at his feet and said to Haidong: "No need to change shoes, I don't usually wipe the floor." β
"Oh." As soon as Haidong walked into the door, a faint fragrance came into his nose. "This smell appeared yesterday, yesterday was stronger than now, I originally asked a friend who has the ability to improve the sense of smell yesterday to help, but she couldn't find the culprit because of this smell, and just told me that this smell is just a simple perfume smell."
"Well, if that guy's perfume is deliberately aimed at your friend, it means that he still knows a certain amount about you." Haidong analyzed.
"Needless to say, since you did this kind of thing, you must have an understanding of me."
"Okay, but then again, if someone did it, it's already considered burglary, is it really good to solve it like this?" Haidong asked.
"What else can you do if you don't solve it yourself, like stealing an underwear a year, do you think those guys in the inspection team will take it seriously?"
"That's just as well." Haidong said, reaching for the door. But as soon as I put my hand on the doorknob, I felt as if my arm had been hit by something.
"I said if this apartment is haunted." Haidong suddenly said. Then he saw Xu Shangling looking at him with a puzzled expression, and quickly explained: "Why do you feel that something is hitting me." β
"Don't take out this old trick of scaring girls to hide in your arms, and use it on senior sister, okay?" Xu Shangling reached out and pinched Haidong's face with a smile.
The sudden physical contact made the unsuspecting Haidong's face flush, and Haidong quickly apologized, although he didn't know what he was doing wrong.
"It's so boring, I can't even make a joke." Xu Shangling pretended to be a little disappointed and looked at Haidong, who was still at a loss, and said helplessly: "Forget it, I won't bother you anymore, you can see the balcony, tell me if you need anything." β
Haidong nodded, watching Xu Shangling sit on the sofa and look at a magazine he picked up from the ground, he also calmed down and turned on his ability again.
Haidong's ability can't lock in a specific time period, so it can only be slowly dialed back from the moment it is now.
The video clip was quickly rewound in Haidong's mind, looking for suspicious characters that might have appeared here, but to Haidong's surprise, except for Xu Shangling and the female friend with her who was with her yesterday with her with a sensory enhancement ability, she didn't see half a figure in the past two days.
(Could it be that it was flipped too fast?) Haidong thought to himself, and decided to slow down and do it all over again. But this time, only a moment later, Haidong stopped. It should be this afternoon's scene, and the biggest difference from the current one is that the newspapers and magazines on the floor are still neatly placed on the table. And Xu Shangling was sitting at the table.
(Didn't the senior sister go to class in the afternoon?) Moreover, she seemed to be crying. The picture that Haidong could restore was very vague, but it turned out his guess: he began to put it back, and the next moment, Xu Shangling overturned the magazine on the table, and then wiped the tears from his face as he got up and picked up the shoulder bag on the sofa and threw the door away.
(That's why she had a bad attitude in the afternoon) Haidong knows very well that this has something to do with Wang Zhenglong who met on the road just now, but after all, this is someone else's private matter, and it is enough to deal with the things she took over for now.
The second time there was still nothing, and the only hope was the balcony, but on the eleventh floor, if you want to go directly to the balcony without going through the main entrance, you can use your toes to know that you are using an ability, and it is a spatial movement so that you can go directly from the first floor to the eleventh floor, but this is what Haidong is most worried about, his mental eyes can only see some fragments, only the more time you stay, the more chances you have to find the moment you need, like space movement, which can be completed in an instant, Originally, he didn't leave much contact with other things here, which is why he made it clear at noon that the premise was that the other party was not a teleportation powerhouse.
But now he can only seize the last chance, Haidong opened the partition door of the balcony and focused all his attention on his heart.
The result is exactly the same as Haidong's thoughts, in the previous scene, you can clearly see the purple bra hanging there, and in the next scene, even the hanger is gone.
Haidong lamented in his heart, he vaguely felt that his good days were coming to an end. Although he said it first, his heart and eyes were not transferred instantly, but after all, he went to someone's room, spied on the privacy of other people's rooms, and most importantly, looked at other people's chests. Even so, he knew that he couldn't give up now, and he began to look at the images on the balcony over and over again, although he knew that this would not gain anything, but he could still delay the time and live a little longer.
Just when Haidong switched back to yesterday's scene for the fourteenth time, the lights on the balcony suddenly turned on, and then Xu Shangling's voice came from the living room, probably because he was already a little bored.
"Did you find anything?"
"Ahh Haidong hurriedly replied, he turned off the ability, only to find that the sky was already a little dark. In fact, although he has been open-minded, he has been thinking about how to confess since he just started, but when he thought that Xu Shangling would not look at him again in disappointment after knowing the truth, or he was angry and wanted to eat him alive, he still swallowed all the plans he had just thought of.
Haidong cautiously walked out of the balcony and found that Xu Shangling was already sitting on the chair next to the table, with one arm on the table supporting his face, and his eyes were slightly tired looking at Haidong, then glanced across the table and motioned for Haidong to sit on the chair opposite.
"Didn't you find anything?" Xu Shangling asked, she naturally understood the expression on Haidong's face.
"There are still some clues missing." Haidong replied honestly, "Moreover, it is very likely that the Stranger teleported up directly. β
What he wanted to say was actually the latter sentence, because it was this sentence that really made him mean - this kind of teleportation ability could not be found with his ability.
"Oh, yes." Xu Shangling seemed to suddenly remember something, "There's another thing for you to see." Xu Shangling got up and walked into the bedroom, and when he came out, he had an extra hanger in his hand.
Haidong immediately recognized that this was the hanger where his underwear was hung. He asked in amazement, "Where did you find this?" β
"It's on my bed."
Xu Shangling handed the hanger to Haidong, but Haidong didn't answer, he turned around, his eyes, no, it should be said that three eyes were staring closely at the partition door connecting the balcony.
(I didn't notice this when I looked at the living room just now) Haidong stared at the door for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked to the door, and stared at the door for a long time. Finally, Haidong breathed a long sigh of relief as if he understood everything.
"Did you find it?" Xu Shangling changed his posture and leaned back in his chair.
"Hmm......" Haidong predicted as if he remembered something. Then Haidong began to do strange things - to clean up the magazines on the floor.
"What are you doing?" Xu Shangling felt incomprehensible.
"I'll help you clean up your room, if it's a little tidy, it will help me play my abilities."
"Didn't you say that the more things you can connect with, the better?"
"That was the first phase, and now the second phase has begun."
"Then I'll clean it up with you."
"No, Sister Ling, sit there and don't move, I need to do it alone." Haidong hurriedly stopped.
Seeing Haidong's serious expression, although he didn't know what Haidong was going to do, Xu Shangling still agreed, "Okay, whatever you want." β
After tidying up the newspapers and magazines on the floor, Haidong took out a broom from the corner of the room, and it looked like he was going to clean it all over.
"Hey, it's not like you haven't found a prisoner, you want to make amends to me like this." Xu Shangling seemed to feel something.
"Don't worry about Sister Ling, have faith in me." Haidong replied.
"You're not going to sweep the floor." Xu Shangling watched Haidong flick the broom again and again, and couldn't help asking.
But Haidong didn't seem to pay attention to it at all, he said as if talking to himself: "First sweep the living room, then sweep the balcony, and finally sweep the bathroom, oh Sister Ling, I won't go into your bedroom." β
"I don't know what you're thinking."
Next, Xu Shangling watched Haidong wave around with a broom, from the living room to the balcony to the bathroom, and then closed all the doors.
"Now it's time for your second phase?" Xu Shangling was a little curious about Haidong's method.
Finally closing the bedroom door, Haidong walked quickly to Xu Shangling's side, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Sister Ling, are there any people you know who are invisible?" β
"Stealth? There's one that you wouldn't say..."
"Not only that," Haidong deliberately lowered his voice:
"And, he's in your bedroom right now."
"What?!"
......
"Don't be impulsive, Sister Ling." Haidong saw Xu Shangling rushing straight to the bedroom door and hurriedly stopped him. "The other party is a stealth ability, I took so much effort to trick him in, just because I was afraid that he would be forced to be hard with us."
But before Haidong finished speaking, Xu Shangling had already opened the bedroom door.
"Zhao Luoluo, you come out for me!" Xu Shangling shouted as he stood at the door of the bedroom.
(Zhao Luoluo?) Haidong hurriedly followed, (The name is quite delicate, but he is a pervert who steals underwear.) οΌ
After a few seconds, there was no movement in the room.
"I'll count to three, if you don't take the initiative to come out, you will die if I catch you."
Hearing Xu Shangling's unceremonious threat, Haidong already understood that this person must have a very good relationship with Xu Shangling, but he began to wonder what kind of guy this was.
"One... Two... Three!"
Just when Xu Shangling just pronounced three, Haidong felt that something was wrong with him, because he clearly saw that on Xu Shangling's bed, a cute girl with pink hair appeared out of thin air. The girl, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, sat on the bed and looked at Xu Shangling with a pitiful look.
"Sister, I know it's wrong..."
But before Haidong could connect the beautiful girl in front of him with the perverted lewd man he imagined a moment ago, Xu Shangling had already rushed to the bed with an arrow step, and pressed the pink-haired beautiful girl who had no intention of resisting on the bed, and then started to tickle...
Two beautiful people with very different styles were playing on the bed as if no one was around, and Haidong on the side forgot to swallow his saliva. Although the plot does not go down, for a single dog who is already sixteen years old, this wave is not a loss.
"Hey, Chen Haha~ Chen Haidong, babble, have you seen enough?"
"Huh?" Just on the side of Haidong, he listened to the sentence "Sister, don't... Stop, sister... Don't rub it there. "While making up the plot of dozens of G on the hard disk by himself,I suddenly found that the pink-haired girl who was pressed on the bed was looking at him coldly,Although he wanted to know how the girl sat and laughed non-stop and looked at himself viciously like garbage,But when I thought of the ugly state that my saliva was going to flow down just now was seen by the girl,My heart was empty,Quickly turned his backγ
"What are you pretending to be, you still want your share hahaha~ If you want a job, come and help me~."
......
"Society, president?" In a high-end Western restaurant, Haidong looked at Zhao Luoluo, who was sitting opposite, with a surprised expression.
"You don't know?" Xu Shangling, who was sitting next to Haidong, was also a little surprised.
"Hmm." Haidong nodded, "I've never met at the newspaper." β
"It's no wonder that this guy has abilities every day, and he likes to pretend to be mysterious at a young age."
"By the way, why should I invite you to dinner?" On the other side, Zhao Luoluo was still staring at Chen Haidong with resentful eyes.
"Uh." Haidong didn't know how to answer, in fact, it was because Xu Shangling said that this meal should be regarded as a reward for Haidong's help, so Haidong felt that it was natural to come along, but what he didn't expect was that it was Zhao Luoluo who invited him.
"Also, why do you sit next to this guy, sister, if I have a treat, I will choose the seat, I want to sit next to my sister, and the guy next to me will find a place to stay."
Haidong never thought that things would develop to this point, the perverted clothes stealer he helped his top boss catch was actually his other top boss, and now this top boss has to honestly invite himself to eat in such a high-end restaurant. If he could, Haidong really wanted to excuse himself to go to the toilet and run away now.
"The thief just gave me honest reflection, and then took charge of the checkout." Xu Shangling glared at Zhao Luoluo angrily.
"Hmph." Zhao Luoluo grimaced at Haidong, and then lay his head on the table.
Haidong really wondered why such a little girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old could be the president of the newspaper, and he couldn't help but wonder if this newspaper was as formal as it was said outside...
"By the way, Haidong, tell me how you found this guy? I still don't understand what your abilities are. β
"Well, actually, I felt hit by something when I first got on the elevator and after entering the door, I remember when I first entered your house and asked if you were haunted." Haidong tried to string together what had just happened.
"What, I see, so you already know that the thief is a stealth person." Xu Shangling felt a little disappointed.
"That's not it," Haidong didn't notice Xu Shangling's expression, "To be honest, I've never seen anyone with invisibility before, so I didn't think about invisibility at first." I spent a lot of time in the living room paying attention to the door and the room and found nothing, and I thought that the thief might have teleported or something, because my ability could only get past clips through the connection between things, which meant that the longer I kept on the scene, the more chance I would see, but I couldn't do anything like teleportation in a split second. So on the balcony I found the chest.. When the underwear disappeared in two periods, I thought it was no fun. However, when I heard my senior sister say that I found a hanger in the bedroom, I felt strange, because how could a person who can teleportation need to deliberately take off the hanger and take the clothes away. Thinking about being hit twice before, I thought of the possibility of stealth. β
"And what's going on with you messing around the room?" Xu Shangling asked.
"That was after." Haidong seemed to be interested, and continued to explain: "After thinking of this possibility, I realized that I had missed the inspection of the partition door between the living room and the balcony, and then I found out that the door had been opened for some time at noon the day before yesterday. This almost confirmed my judgment, and then I set my eyes on the door again, and changed my attention from who had opened this door before to when this door had been open for a while but I couldn't see anyone passing by, and finally found that the senior sister was going out the morning before yesterday as if she heard the bell of the landline at home and turned back to pick it up, but it didn't close the door, I guess it was at this time that I was small.. Ahem, the president took the opportunity to sneak in. Haidong said and secretly glanced at Zhao Luoluo, and found that Zhao Luoluo was actually listening carefully. However, his actions were immediately discovered by Zhao Luoluo, and Zhao Luoluo immediately replied to him with a vicious look.
"I just said how someone called and hung up right away. It's actually your little trick. β
Zhao Luoluo immediately withdrew his gaze, pretending to be cute and pouting and blowing the bangs on his forehead.
"When I was sure that the president's ability and that she was in the room, I didn't know who the president was at the time, and the stealth ability was really hard to deal with, and if we didn't have a conflict, I wasn't sure if we were rivals. But since the president didn't plan to come out at the time, I pretended not to find you, so I thought of a way to trick you into hiding in the bedroom, and I wanted to discuss countermeasures with my senior sister again, but who knew that your relationship was so familiar, hehe. Haidong smiled bitterly and touched the back of his head, although the story was finished, he didn't have a clue how to end next.
"Yo, I didn't expect to see you stupidly on weekdays, and there are a lot of bad ideas." Zhao Luoluo raised his head, but there was a lack of malice in his words.
"Hehe, the president taught me a lesson." Haidong naturally will not let go of this good opportunity to pretend to be stupid and show weakness.
"It's not a bad thing to be smart" Zhao Luoluo pretended to be serious again, "But if you use it at work..."
"No, I've worked hard." Haidong hurriedly defended himself.
"Don't be intimidated by her, I've got you covered." Xu Shangling naturally saw through the thoughts of the two people.
"What, two people bully one like a young couple." Zhao Luoluo pouted in protest.
"What did you say?" Xu Shangling slapped the table, so frightened that Zhao Luoluo hurriedly reached out and hugged his head.
"Alright, alright, it's served, it's served." Haidong hurriedly persuaded Xu Shangling, who was already tense.
It didn't take long for the three of them to order all the Western food.
After seeing that Zhao Luoluo and Xu Shangling had already started, Haidong also picked up the knife and fork.
Just at the moment when Haidong went under the knife. Xu Shangling, who was beside him, suddenly asked:
"Chen Haidong, have you ever heard of scavengers?"
"Have you ever heard of a rumored group of people who are specifically looking for people with low ability points and low scores to duel, and then take their points so that they can be sent out of the test area?" Haidong replied casually, but as he spoke, he found that Zhao Luoluo's expression on the other side was a little surprised.
"Sister, you won't..."
"Then have you heard of the Thousand End Elimination Plan?" Xu Shangling ignored Zhao Luoluo and asked.
"Nope." Haidong had already put down the unused knife and fork, and he already sensed that something was about to happen.
"This plan stipulates that one thousandth of the total number of students in the pilot zone must be eliminated every month." Xu Shangling replied.
"Whose plan was this? How come I haven't heard of it at all? Haidong naturally understood that the elimination in Xu Shangling's mouth meant repatriation.
"The upper echelons of the test area, you must know that this place is called the test area, the purpose of the test is to improve our superpowers and abilities, and we are all test specimens, and now we all rely on each other's scores to ensure our own safety, this too comfortable status quo is contrary to the principles of the test."
"Doesn't it mean that we are the hope of the nation? Shouldn't there be as many people as we have abilities? β
"I've heard you've played quite a few games, do you think it's important for the commander to have a hundred minions or ten heroes?"
"Do you want to go for rough sperm?" Reason Haidong naturally understands, "What if the number of people eliminated every month does not reach one thousandth?" He was faintly afraid, one in a thousand, that was two thousand superpowers for the test area.
"Then it will be eliminated randomly." The expression on Xu Shangling's face did not mean any joke at all.
"Random elimination? Will even four digits be randomized? Haidong was visibly hard to believe.
"That's right, if the last minute of the month does not evict one in 1,000 people this month, then the next day, maybe one of you and me will be forcibly evicted from the test area. You've probably heard the rumors of people who have been sent out of the Avatars. β
"I heard that it will be used by outside scientific research institutions to conduct human trials."
"Well, if you entered the school the year before last, you probably didn't know that when the experimental area was first established three or four years ago, there was already this kind of random elimination, and it wasn't until a four-digit score that was dismissed that this rule attracted the attention of students, and the organization of scavengers appeared. So the so-called scavengers, are there to prevent random elimination, because it has threatened the lives of all of us. β
"But what the scavengers did was to get others to be sent back."
"Why don't you understand?" Zhao Luoluo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "What the scavenger does can be chosen, but random elimination is something that no one can predict, which is equivalent to saying that the scavenger is silently helping everyone." β
Hearing Zhao Luoluo say this, combined with the conversation between Xu Shangling and Wang Zhenglong, the student president in the afternoon, Haidong can basically determine that they all belong to the organization of scavengers, but this does not mean that he thinks that scavengers are a righteous organization, on the contrary, he still feels a little selfish in his heart, so in order to prevent himself from being randomly eliminated, he will take away other people's scores and let others be dismissed, and then put on the name of helping everyone, but Haidong can't find what is wrong with this approach.
"I know what you're thinking, no one thinks it's a serious organization until they really know about the scavengers, they think they're just looking for a substitute for themselves. But in fact, the scavenger's approach is the only correct one in reality. We're targeting people who have low stats and don't work hard to improve their abilities and those who use their abilities to break the law that even the inspectors can't deal with, and there's scum anywhere in the world, and the test zone is no exception. So tell me Chen Haidong, if you were to stand in a neutral position, put such a person and anyone you know, and choose one to be eliminated, which one would you choose? β
This decision is not difficult for anyone to make, but it does not mean that the decision made is correct or not, in Haidong's view, the scavenger's behavior may be the most reasonable, but he cannot equate this so-called reasonable and correct at this time.
"You probably already heard what I meant." Xu Shangling's voice lost its usual strength:
"Would you like to join us? If what I just said can change your perception of the term scavenger. β
"I need to think about it, starting from that Qianmo elimination, Senior Sister Shangling, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a decision today."
Xu Shangling nodded, this time she didn't ask Haidong to call herself so, after all, in the cognition of ordinary students, the three words scavenger are only cruel except for mystery.
"We need your ability to help us make better judgments. But the outcome is up to you. I'm always waiting for your news, but no matter what the outcome is, as long as you are willing to continue working at the newspaper, I hope our relationship will continue to be the same as before. β
This Western meal is not sumptuous, but the price in such a high-end Western restaurant is bound to be expensive. But Haidong now feels that it is difficult to swallow even a mouthful.
(Scavenger)
This organization, which only exists among students, is now appearing around him in such a way, and he still needs to decide whether to join it, there are so many things that have happened today, so much that Haidong's self-thinking brain can't turn around.
(It's almost eight o'clock.) Haidong turned his head to look out the window at the night and closed his eyes slightly.
