Chapter Ninety-Seven: Exchange of Information

Sorry, didn't know you couldn't eat spicy. ”

Seeing that Liu Xiuxiu was so spicy that she inhaled and her eyes were hazy with tears, Huang Qiuyuan smiled embarrassedly.

Xia Ren handed him back the thermos cup that he had taken a sip of, and the other party didn't care, wiped the rim of the cup with his hand, covered it, and put it back in his hand.

"Meet me, my name is Huang Qiuyuan, and I just moved upstairs to you."

He stretched out his hand to Liu Xiuxiu.

Liu Xiuxiu glanced at Xia Ren and also stretched out her hand.

"My name is Liu Xiuxiu."

"Pretty little girl." Huang Qiuyuan praised it.

Liu Xiuxiu's face suddenly stiffened a little: "I'm a man." ”

Huang Qiuyuan was stunned, and then laughed:

"I'm sorry about that. I still have to go to work, so I won't bother you, see you next time. ”

Seeing his back disappear around the corner of the corridor, Liu Xiuxiu turned her head and asked Xia Ren suspiciously: "When did he move over, did you know each other before?" ”

Xia Ren remembered the two doors he saw last night, obviously absent-minded, and said, "It seems that it has only been less than a day since I moved here, and I am not very familiar with it." ”

Liu Xiuxiu sighed, and then asked, "By the way, why are you running out in such a hurry, is there anything in the house?" ”

After he reminded him like this, Xia Ren remembered that there was an old seal worth 500 achievement points thrown inside.

The things that were exchanged from the system store had an advantage, that is, they could be taken back at any time, and it was so disgusting just now that he forgot about this stubble and threw it away.

Qin Yun didn't want to go in again, Xia Ren could only open the door, endure the double discomfort of body and mind, cover his nose and run back, found the old seal by the sofa, and withdrew it into the system.

Almost instantly, the feeling of nausea disappeared, and he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Come in."

He shouted out the door.

Qin Yun cautiously poked her head out and found that it was indeed not disgusting, so she walked in.

Liu Xiuxiu had been paying attention to Xia Ren's actions because of curiosity, his eyes were sharp, and he took advantage of that fleeting opportunity to see the pattern engraved on the old seal, and was immediately shocked.

"How do you have an old seal?"

You must know that whether it is a 'ghost' or a containment object, there will be inexplicable resistance to the partial five-pointed star, with a pattern of eyes in the middle, so almost everything that is linked to the Foundation will be engraved with that pattern with special materials.

"Old seals?"

Qin Yun muttered on the side.

Is that the name of that disgusting thing?

"You also call it the Old Seal?"

Xia Ren originally thought that these things were named differently for each force, just like the system called the contaminated human beings infected and aberrations, while the Foundation uniformly called them 'ghosts'.

"Well, it's quite useful." Liu Xiuxiu replied.

Xia Ren remembered the logistics staff in the alley, and the black capes they wore had this pattern on the back,

"So you just ran out because of the old seal?"

Liu Xiuxiu suddenly thought, and then had some doubts: "But the simple mark has no effect, and it must be combined with the dark water to exert the effect of the old seal, do you have the dark water?" ”

This is a good opportunity to understand the system and the foundation, Xia Ren recalled that the green liquid in Zhu Youqian's necklace was directly exchanged for a bottle of first-class anti-pollution liquid and taken out.

"Is that it?"

Liu Xiuxiu was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "Are you still a 'ghost'?" How can you even have this? ”

The dark water can cause huge damage to the 'ghosts', and the other 'ghosts' are afraid to avoid it, and he even carries it with him? And it seems that the purity is not low, it must have been refined.

But when they thought about it, when they first met, they shot him with a water gun filled with dark water, and it didn't seem to work.

"What is the Stygian Water?"

Xia Ren asked.

For this question, Liu Xiuxiu hesitated.

However, thinking of the Foundation's arrangements for him last night, there seemed to be no need to hide it from Xia Ren, so he explained: "The Stygian Water is a special spring water obtained by the Foundation through secret methods, and the containment objects and 'ghosts' we find will eventually use the Stygian Water to slowly destroy them, and the Stygian Water is also the only thing known to be able to fight pollution." ”

"You know about pollution, too?"

This time it was Xia Ren's turn to be surprised.

The two glanced at each other, and Liu Xiuxiu felt that there was a reason why the Foundation had an ambiguous attitude towards him, this guy didn't seem to be an ordinary 'ghost'.

They began to exchange information about their doubts, and Qin Yun listened on the side.

By comparing Xia Ren, he learned that in addition to the accident of dividing the infected body, the Foundation's cognition of pollution is basically the same as what the system tells him.

"Don't call it a 'ghost' in the future."

Xia Ren suggested that he had a kind of resistance to the word ghost.

"What's that called?"

Liu Xiuxiu was puzzled.

Xia Ren told him about the concepts of infected bodies and aberrants.

"This division is much more detailed than the Foundation's hierarchy."

Liu Xiuxiu frowned and thought for a long time after hearing this, and suddenly realized a serious problem.

The knowledge I heard just now has crossed the line, and this is not at all what a D-class person should master!

"It's over, I shouldn't be polluted by this......"

It is not uncommon for the Foundation to be contaminated by a D-class personnel who have crossed the line to learn deeper secrets, and if it is discovered that the individual is contaminated, the Foundation will quarantine the personnel for up to a month, as well as conduct cognitive testing.

If, during the cognitive test, it is found that the person's sanity deviates from the scope of human beings, even if it is only a little, they will be terminated on the spot!

Especially since he had been in contact with Xia Ren for so long, even with the protection of the old seal left by his father, this was a high-risk behavior.

The two of them were so human-like that they had caused themselves to ignore this.

Liu Xiuxiu felt cold hands and feet.

"I'm dead......"

"Huh?"

His words startled Qin Yun.

Then Liu Xiuxiu gave up on herself and told them about her worries.

I thought that Xia Ren would take this opportunity to laugh at himself like before, but I didn't expect him to have a serious face.

This is indeed a serious question.

If Liu Xiuxiu is polluted because she stays with them, then so will everyone else.

Xia Ren didn't want to be a source of pollution.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "I have a way to tell if you're tainted or not, but the process may be a little unacceptable, would you like me to try?" ”

Where would Liu Xiuxiu hesitate, nodding again and again.

It's better to test here than to go back to quarantine.

Then, he saw Xia Ren stretch out that long, thick tentacle and roll towards him.

Liu Xiuxiu took a step back.

Didn't dodge.

He watched the tentacles insert from his forehead into his body, his eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and he didn't dare to move.

"Natsuhito ......"

Qin Yun subconsciously exclaimed.

Xia Ren explained: "It's okay for a while, it's not to harm him." ”

Qin Yun relieved her heart at this time.

Liu Xiuxiu doesn't feel anything physically, the tentacles are like a non-existent phantom, without any touch, but psychologically, it has been a huge devastation.

After all, anyone who sees such a big thing inserted in it will probably shudder.

Soon, Xia Ren put away his tentacles and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's not polluted." ”

His pollution value is zero, safe.

"Is this a little uncomfortable you say?"

Liu Xiuxiu was paralyzed and was about to cry.

It really scared him to death just now.

"That's right."

Xia Ren thought of something and said, "You should have been back before, so do you know what happened on the sixth floor?" ”

The sound of the two doors last night and the children running on the ceiling still haunted him.

Liu Xiuxiu was shocked, and reluctantly recalled: "It seems that no one has ever heard of the matter of the sixth floor." ”

Xia Ren touched his chin, and after a while, he said to Qin Yun, "You stay at home first." ”

Then he turned his head to Liu Xiuxiu and said, "You should have the tools to pick the lock, right?" Come up with me and see what's there. ”
