In the past few days, Shi Yizhe's attitude towards everyone in the family has been very cold, and only when Xie Baozhen is there, he can barely talk to him a few times, and Father An said let him go, probably menopause has arrived. I've heard commercials for women's menopause on TV before, but I don't think I've heard of men doing the same. Therefore, Yu Siqi is still more interested in the term whether men have menopause, but unfortunately according to the atmosphere in the house, he really can't ask.

And Gong Chen didn't know where to hear the wind, and he hadn't appeared in everyone's field of vision much recently. Yu Siqi felt that this kid not only had a good brain, but also had a surprisingly high emotional intelligence, which made him admire him very much.

On Friday afternoon, after returning from dinner with Gong Chen, Yu Siqi, who was sitting on a chair, began to think about the next meeting with Bao Congxin.

To be honest, he doesn't have a bottom in his heart at all.

No one has ever mentioned to him what kind of way Bao Congxin will guide himself, and he has not seriously considered this matter. It was as if time had slipped out of his hands inadvertently, and he couldn't even remember what he'd been doing in the past few days.

Maybe it's looking through boring reports from others in the office, or maybe it's discussing the color of Fenna's underwear with Gong Chen downstairs? Or maybe he's just a mixed work hour in the office just like everyone else?

For a veteran who has been in the office for a long time, dealing with these documents, reports and complaint letters is really at his fingertips.

But Bao didn't say that he wanted to improve his fighting skills, which made him a 'waste material' like a man who was not diligent and his limbs were weak.

With this anxiety and uneasiness, Yu Siqi perfunctorily closed the smelly and long report in front of him and threw it aside, and stood up.

It's almost two o'clock now, and in terms of time, Bao Congxin should have arrived a long time ago. After all, there are less than ten minutes before it is time to get off work normally, and if Gong Chen calls him at the point, whether he will leave or stay is also a problem.

Troubles were like a virus, breeding in his uneasy heart, and just as he was about to go downstairs to wash his face and calm down, Gong Chen's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, what kind of wind is blowing the chief again?"

"Go, every day there is no human appearance." Bao Congxin said impatiently: "You go to the energy room for me now, just now they were about to come out and call you to be bumped into by me, so I asked them to wait there." ”

"You're not going to make fun of me, are you?" Gong Chen asked in a skeptical tone: "I admit that I went a little too far last time, but didn't you say a lot of it?" ”

"I don't care, but don't talk about it all day long." Bao Congxin climbed the stairs and said, "Go quickly, if I haven't settled this matter when I go back, you can be careful for me." ”

"Yes, really. There are so many technicians, but you called me to help, you can really call people. Gong Chen's voice gradually faded away, and it seemed that he had left.

Yu Siqi, who was eavesdropping, was probably so involved that he didn't even notice that Bao Congxin had already stepped into his office while he was distracted.

When they looked at each other, the wall clock above their heads pointed exactly to two o'clock, and began to tell the time.

Neither of them said a word, but silently moved their gaze to the position of the wall clock, as if they did not want to believe this fact.

Time 'tick, tick' passed, and the atmosphere in the room was about to catch up with the cold storage, and the stalemate atmosphere made Yu Siqi not know how to break the silence. He was afraid that his abrupt speech would make an already embarrassing situation worse, so he waited patiently.

And Bao Congxin is not waiting for the other party to express his position first, after all, the fact that he is late is already ironclad, and there is no way to easily excuse it.

Considering that this is not a solution, Bao Congxin still adjusted his emotions, pulled out a chair from the thin air and sat on it and said, "Then let's start." ”

Yu Siqi looked at the chair that appeared out of thin air and nodded curiously.

"As for how to teach you, I've thought about how to do it. After all, I'm not like a priest who likes to give up the troublesome work to others and pick the easy work myself. Bao said slowly: "You see, we are facing a very difficult problem first. I guess you have a bit of a spectrum in your own heart, right? ”

"Almost," although Yu Siqi didn't know what Bao Congxin wanted to say, but for now, it was better for him to follow his wishes, otherwise it would be really difficult to do it if it was the same as just now.

Bao said approvingly: "Theoretically speaking, the No. 11 organization does not accept 'ordinary people'. Usually the means we take for 'ordinary people' involved in certain events are memory erasure, outdoor surveillance, and the development of supernumeraries. It's been a long time since you've been invited directly to work within an organization. ”

"Am I supposed to thank you for your kindness?" Yu Siqi asked teasingly.

"Instead of being grateful to us, let's say that the 'Goddess of Fate' has been taking care of you." Bao Congxin held his chin with his right hand and said: "You are a very lucky existence, most of the 'ordinary people' who have experienced unnatural phenomena are unable to accept such changes in a short period of time, but you seem to be able to deal with it as if it were flowing water." Even in some unexpected situations, your ability to deal with emergencies has surprised me. ”

"I guess I died once, and after that horrific experience, I saw a lot of things very indifferently." Yu Siqi said thoughtfully.

"I'd love to give you a thumbs up for your enlightenment, but that's not the point I'm trying to make, is it?" "I appreciate your linguistic talent, and I also appreciate the seriousness with which you took over the responsibilities of the former owner of this office. But as I said at the beginning, you're always just a 'normal person'. And as an 'ordinary person', you have a troublesome friend who can't sit still and can't manage, and that's the problem. ”

"So you're here to solve this problem for me?" Yu Siqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Or are you going to continue to talk to me here?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to express your displeasure with me, knowing that I am not happy to sit here and tell you this." Bao Congxin touched the place on his chin where he had just pulled off a beard, squinted his eyes and said: "But I can understand your attitude towards me, after all, you are also a victim of that incident, and I, as a manager who should avoid this phenomenon, I owe you an understanding." ”

"It's already happened, and no amount of asking for forgiveness is going to help. After all, if an apology is useful, what else do you want the police to do. Yu Siqi said indifferently.

"Because after doing it, my heart will feel better." Bao Congxin's face said calmly: "You have seen a lot of powerful and incomprehensible forces from many special events, I think your heart must be more or less hoping that you can also learn one or two of them." But I can only tell you regretfully, that is not possible. ”

"I know," Yu Siqi was a little depressed.

"But is there a way for ordinary people to gain power?" Bao Congxin didn't pay attention to Yu Siqi and then said: "Yes, and there is more than one. Regrettably, none of these methods are more or less permissible by the current body. ”

"Can't even you approve it?" Yu Siqi asked.

"I can't bend the law for personal gain, can I?" Bao Congxin smiled slightly and said.

"That's right," Yu Siqi agreed with Bao Congxin's point of view.

"But it's not completely out of the ordinary, if there is really no turnaround, I can't make this trip." Bao Congxin changed his words and said, "There is a very ancient method that allows you to gain extraordinary power in a very short period of time. ”

"Is it a cost of a soul or something, it sounds a bit like a classic in literature." Yu Siqi said nonchalantly: "If yes, please allow me to refuse." I care more about my own life than about 'power'. ”

"Of course not," Bao said solemnly, "do you think of me as something, a peddler at the crossroads?" ”

"I'm sorry, what do you mean by the vendors at the intersection?" Yu Siqi asked.

Bao Congxin didn't answer, just stood up and said, "I don't have a way for you to sell your soul, but I have a way for you to use your soul." ”

"It sounds a bit like turning me into a peddler," Yu Siqi said, "Isn't this illegal?" ”

"Of course it's not illegal, it's a skill that our ancestors have mastered, and it's also an ability we were born with, it's just that most people don't know how to use it." Bao Congxin picked up the chair and said, "As you can see, it's a chair, but in my opinion, it's more than just a chair. Look—"

In the blink of an eye, Bao Congxin was holding a Xinsong atlas in his hand, but the chair was gone.

"It feels like a trick!" Yu Siqi looked at Bao Congxin with distrustful eyes and said.

"Don't think of the wisdom of our ancestors as if it were crappy magic, okay?" Bao Congxin stuffed the atlas into Yu Siqi's hand and said, "Although to a certain extent, that can be regarded as the wisdom of the ancestors. ”

Flipping through the atlas in his hand, Yu Siqi didn't feel anything unusual. To put it mildly, what he holds in his hand is probably just an ordinary atlas.

"I've finished reading it," Yu Siqi said as he returned the atlas to Bao Congxin, "I didn't find anything strange." ”

"Really?" Bao asked suspiciously.

"Of course," Mr. Yu said.

"Okay, I've shown you how powerful this power is, and now it's time for you to realize it." Bao straightened his attitude, casually put the atlas on the table and said, "Of course, it is definitely impossible for you to control this power as easily as I do now. But I think in the near future, you'll be able to use this powerful force very well. ”

"You haven't taught me anything!" Yu Siqi said angrily.

"I have taught everything that should be taught, and I have tried to do what should be done, and the rest is up to you." Bao Congxin turned around and walked out of the room and said, "That atlas is wrong, it's a chair and I'll keep it with you first." When you're free to get your hands on that powerful new power, give it back to me. ”

Yu Siqi, who originally had some expectations, basically knew what kind of routine this was after hearing Bao Congxin's accidentally leaking words. With a self-deprecating smile, Yu Siqi also packed up and prepared to get off work.
