Chapter 159: Can I work part-time?
Qi Mo heard the conversation between the two and looked at Lin Xi, "Are you planning to join the research institute?"
Lin Xi nodded.
Qi Mo fell silent.
Obviously, joining the institute means facing danger, but he is not qualified to persuade Lin Xi not to join.
He was just frustrated that he didn't have different abilities. That way, he could fight side by side with her like he did in "Extreme Survival".
After dinner, Lin Xi packed up the lunch boxes.
Qi Mo thought for a moment and reached out to Lin Xi, "Lend me your phone, I'll make a call."
I didn't go to work all day and just disappeared inexplicably. Daniel also searched my phone and took it away. I have to explain to the people who should be reported.
Lin Xi handed him the newly bought mobile phone.
Qi Mo dialed Assistant Zhou's number.
Assistant Zhou saw that it was an unfamiliar number and had no intention of answering it. But then he remembered that his boss had been missing for a day, and it couldn't be a call from the kidnappers, so he quickly answered the call.
When Assistant Zhou heard Qi Mo's voice on the phone, he almost cried, "Where have you been all day?"
"I made countless calls but couldn't get through."
"The chairman somehow found out you weren't at work and got really angry, saying you were irresponsible."
There were even more unpleasant things that Assistant Zhou didn't say. He pointed them out not to sow discord between the boss and his son, but because he felt that there were some things that the boss should be reminded of.
Lin Xi was close by, and her five senses were particularly sharp, so she heard Assistant Zhou's words clearly and looked at Qi Mo thoughtfully.
Qi Mo's face was a little cold, "Don't worry about him."
"I got into some trouble and got injured. I might need two days to recuperate before I can go back to work."
Assistant Zhou asked repeatedly, "Injured? Where is he injured? Is it serious?"
Qi Mo whispered, "It's just a minor injury. I had a minor operation and will be discharged in about two or three days."
Assistant Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. He would be discharged from the hospital in two or three days. It was really a minor operation.
"Okay then. If the chairman asks again, I'll tell the truth."
Qi Mo said "hmm" casually, "Also, buy me a new phone. Tomorrow I--" He looked at Lin Xi, and Lin Xi nodded, "I'll get it for you."
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Security Department's sanatorium. There are guards at the door and the security inside is even stricter.
Qi Mo nodded, "Someone will contact you to pick it up tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, he handed the phone to Lin Xi. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xi called Li Xiaoqiu, "Let's go. We're tired today. Let's rest early."
Li Xiaoqiu was still confused. "Where to? Back to school?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "I can't go back to school or home for now. You come with me."
Li Xiaoqiu glanced at Mu Qingzhou reluctantly, "Then, who will take care of Qingzhou later?"
Lin Xi pointed outside the door and said, "Didn't you see all those beautiful nurses? Don't worry, your boat will be fine."
Li Xiaoqiu hesitated for a moment. She didn't want the beautiful young lady to take care of Mu Qingzhou, but she couldn't really stay here.
Suddenly she realized that Lin Xi was talking about your Qingzhou. Her face turned red and she secretly glanced at Mu Qingzhou.
Mu Qingzhou was daydreaming and obviously didn't hear what the two said.
Li Xiaoqiu was a little disappointed. He was pulled out by Lin Xi, looking back every few steps.
There was no call from the research institute, which meant that Daniel had not been caught yet.
Lin Xi did not take it lightly and took Li Xiaoqiu to Lin Fenfang.
Lin Fenfang lives in a hotel.
After Lin Xi left, the security personnel vacated another room next to Lin Fenfang.
Lin Fenfang had contacted her daughter before, but she was always a little worried because she didn't see her.
Seeing my daughter appear safe and sound, I finally felt relieved.
Lin Xi comforted her mother for a while, then went to the next room with Li Xiaoqiu.
Without a change of clothes, they took a bath, wrapped themselves in bathrobes, and washed all their clothes.
Before going to bed, Lin Xi called Zhou Ying and asked, "How's it going over there?"
Zhou Ying's voice was low, "Daniel hasn't shown up yet."
"Wang Suo's mental strength is also limited, and the spatial confinement cannot be sustained indefinitely."
"The people in the station are now divided into three shifts to take turns to stay on duty. The rest of the people who are not on duty are all resting in the car."
Lin Xi whispered: "Then I'll go there tomorrow too—"
Zhou Ying interrupted her, "Don't come."
"Also, when you asked about applying to join, Wang refused and said to wait until you finish college."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "How about you tell Wang what you said? I can do a part-time job at the research institute if I have nothing to do?"
"For example, if there's a mission that requires my skills, I'll go on a business trip. Normally, I'll continue with my studies."
Zhou Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "There are no part-time positions in our institute. Alright, alright, don't run around these few days. Be careful. If you can't find Daniel, I'm afraid he teleported away."
Lin Xi hung up the phone and turned around to see Li Xiaoqiu meditating on the carpet. She asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Li Xiaoqiu opened his eyes and said, "Practice. I want to cultivate supernatural powers."
Lin Xi chuckled, "I'm afraid that cultivation won't produce supernatural powers, but it can certainly help you become an immortal."
Li Xiaoqiu quickly got up from the ground and said, "Xixi, tell me how superpowers come about. I really want them."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "How should I put it? I don't know what's going on with other people, but I personally think it has something to do with thoughts."
"Whether it's supernatural power or thoughts, they're all a kind of energy."
“Even humans rely on energy to survive.”
"Energy is everywhere. Without energy, the planet cannot rotate. Superpowers are about transforming the energy in nature into your own use."
"Awakening is a gift or a coincidence, not something that can be achieved through hard work."
"If you really want superpowers, and your desire reaches its extreme, it might trigger it."
Li Xiaoqiu thought for a moment, "Isn't my desire strong enough?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "The main thing is that you are not under pressure. When people are under pressure, they often burst out with energy that they can't imagine."
"Also, meditation is actually beneficial. At least it can make your mental strength stronger."
Li Xiaoqiu nodded. "No wonder Buddhism, Taoism, and many other religions all require meditation. It seems to make sense."
"But why didn't I see you meditating?"
Lin Xi smiled bitterly. Her mental strength had returned to the level of her previous life and had reached a bottleneck. Meditation had no effect on her mental strength.
She didn't know how to break through this bottleneck.
I don’t know what kind of new world will emerge after breaking through the bottleneck.
As for the superpowers, they are still recovering.
After meditating with Li Xiaoqiu for a while, they both fell asleep.
The next day, Lin Xi first found the security personnel and got the pass to the sanatorium, then contacted Assistant Zhou. After getting the new mobile phone, she went to the sanatorium with Li Xiaoqiu.
