Strange Invasion 16 Looking for Xiaoxi
"We've received news that two of the three middle school students who transferred to Yanjiao in Beijing last week have secret dealings with Country Y."
"It's very likely that several neighboring countries have discovered that our country is implementing the cultivation method on a full scale."
As soon as Director of the Abnormal Control Bureau, Dai Boyu, stepped into the meeting room, he dropped some important news.
Someone was puzzled: "We in primary and secondary schools have always had the habit of doing exercises during recess. This time, they're just changing the content. Furthermore, the number of people who have successfully broken through to become spiritual masters is still very low. We don't even have clear data here. How did they find out?"
"Humph, there are sieves everywhere. This time it was just those two from school who noticed something was wrong, and we just happened to catch them."
"Has the person been detained?"
"These two are under arrest," Dai Boyu said, "but the people in other countries haven't shown their true colors yet."
Beijing is the political center, and there have always been many screenings. Now Beijing is undergoing further inspections, and entry and exit are very strict, but other cities are not so easy.
"If we impose a complete ban on traveling abroad..." someone suggested.
Deputy Director Quan Cheng'an interrupted: "There's no money here, so if people don't leave the country, there's no way to spread the news?"
Dai Boyu said, "The various agencies have other arrangements. I'm telling you this to remind everyone that the cultivation method was released by the Alien Management Bureau. To outsiders, it appears to be a method developed by our spiritual team. Only a few people know where this method came from..."
The old director glanced at the crowd with a sharp gaze.
"You are one of those few. From today on, your every word, action, and all electronic devices will be monitored."
After signing a confidentiality agreement, everyone took up their respective responsibilities, leaving only the director and deputy director in the meeting room.
Quan Chengan took a sip of tea and whispered, "What a fuss!"
Dai Boyu glanced at him and said, "The brighter the light, the more insects it attracts."
"Old man, you are really considerate..."
When it was decided to release some of the cultivation techniques to the public for learning, Dai Boyu controlled the amount of the techniques released. Only a few specially selected pilots could obtain half of the techniques. These special pilots could select the spiritual practitioners they wanted in a short period of time.
Most of the remaining schools actually combine exercises with martial arts, focusing on physical training.
If there are no problems with the one-year trial, you can gradually relax and strengthen your learning of the skills.
In other words, there was a time difference.
According to the old director's idea, they had obtained such a powerful cultivation technique, it was unrealistic to keep it secret, and it was also inappropriate to release it completely.
Although it is a global strange event, the strange things in each country are random in terms of quantity and degree of harm. Whichever country first has a method to comprehensively suppress the strange things will become the leader in the new round of world competition.
If Dai Boyu wants to promote his cultivation method, he will inevitably have to keep it secret, but he will keep it secret for as long as possible.
Even if those people wanted to steal, they could only steal the most basic content.
The stolen school content is their control group, so this can be considered as real-time monitoring of the progress of those people.
However, Dai Boyu was not reassured.
"The only thing we can't control now is the rescue center where Boss Xie personally teaches."

"Gu Xi, I finally caught you. What have you been doing recently? I can't see you anywhere."
After school in the evening, Yang Lei stopped Gu Xi who was about to go out and questioned him with her hands on her hips.
Gu Xi held the backpack strap and smiled at her: "I applied to the dean to live outside. It's not safe at night. I'm in a hurry to go home."
"Live outside?" Yang Lei was shocked. "Aren't you determined not to leave the dormitory? Liang Gaoyuan fought with you for a bed, and it made such a big fuss."
Gu Xi pursed her lips and said calmly, "People always have to grow up. My sister who was abroad came back and rented a house for me outside the courtyard. It's very close to here and the central block. I can live alone, so I don't have to squeeze into the same dormitory with others."
"A sister from abroad?" Yang Lei was confused.
Wasn’t Gu Xi sent here from an orphanage?
Another sister?
After saying this, Gu Xi hurried to leave, turned two streets, and arrived at the rented unit.
Two bedrooms and one living room, warm furniture.
Zhu Mingyu paid him a year's rent in one go.
Gu Xi threw his backpack on the sofa and threw himself in.
——"Thank you, Teacher. I..."
——"Let's talk about it when you graduate."
That day, Gu Xi confirmed his feelings and received a vague response from Xie Yunsui. At least Gu Xi was more willing to believe that he would get a good response after graduation.
That night, the person in his dream said goodbye to him with a smile.
After that day, Gu Xi no longer had dreams, even though he tried various methods.
It was as if the person in the dream walked from fantasy into reality and completely became the real Xie Yunsui.
Since the person in the dream is gone, he must get closer to the person in reality.
"Swish." The message alert sound from the mobile phone disrupted Gu Xi's thoughts.
Zhu Mingyu: Someone will pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please prepare your things.
Gu Xi: Got it.
"What did he say?"
Zhu Mingyu smiled and shook his phone, saying, "Of course everything is ready."
The man laughed loudly and took a step forward to hug the woman: "I married a virtuous wife. You are the one who did it. I knew I was right to marry you."
Zhu Mingyu tapped the portrait in the dialog box and said, "After all, he's just a sixteen-year-old kid, a bit clever, saying he's not afraid of threats, but just bluffing~"
"But how do you know he's afraid to leave the asylum? It's not a good place."
"He's got his own ideas. Back when he was only twelve, he helped his father defeat his rival. He's seen the world in the Zhu family. If life in the orphanage really couldn't stand it, he would have thought of leaving long ago. Since he's not leaving, he must have a reason to stay. Whatever the reason, I'll just use him to my advantage."
The man nodded with satisfaction: "Once the cultivation method arrives and is proven to be effective, we can compete in next year's election."

This Saturday is the day when Xie Yunsui will take the quiz.
Yang Lei looked at the clock in the classroom. The hour hand was almost pointing to eight o'clock, and she was so anxious that her feet were shaking.
"I heard that after today's test, the classes will be re-divided. Those who can detect spiritual power will be placed in the same class and will have to learn new knowledge."
"If someone fails, does that mean the remaining people don't have the talent to become spiritualists?"
"I'm so nervous! Heaven and earth, please bless me to pass the exam!"
As time passed, the classroom was filled with anxiety.
Yang Lei pursed her lips and asked her deskmate, "Why hasn't Gu Xi come yet? Did you see him this morning?"
"Ah? I didn't see him. Did he sleep over?"
"Gu Xi has never slept in, and he prepared for this quiz for a long time."
Yang Lei always felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, she decided to go to the dean to explain the situation.
As soon as I walked out of the classroom, I bumped into Xie Yunsui.
"Thank you, teacher?"
"So urgent? What's wrong?"
Xie Yunsui helped him.
Yang Lei said, "Gu Xi hasn't arrived yet. I want to contact the dean. Didn't he say there's a quiz today? Don't let him miss the exam."
I originally thought that he had overslept, but the dean was unable to contact him and his phone calls went unanswered.
The dean put down his phone and decided to go find him in person.
Xie Yunsui was silent for a moment. He had been so busy during this period that he hadn't paid much attention to Xiaoxi's movements. He didn't even know that he had moved out.
"When did he move out?"
The dean said, "Just a week ago."
"He said his sister from abroad came back and rented the house for him." Yang Lei snorted, "It's definitely not her biological sister. If she was her biological sister, why didn't she bring her home?"
Xie Yunsui looked at the dean, and the dean revealed everything: "It's the older sister from the previous adoptive family. Gu Xi told me that the eldest sister of the Zhu family remarried and moved abroad, and rarely comes back. We wanted to take him away this time, but he couldn't bear to leave us and said he wanted to wait until he graduated before leaving. So we rented a place outside the hospital first, so that it would be convenient for him to go back to his sister's house on weekends."
Xie Yunsui stood up and said, "Let's postpone the test today. I'll go find him."
The dean was just about to say that he was just looking for someone and that he would do it, and that it would be better not to delay the exam, but in the blink of an eye, Xie Yunsui's figure disappeared out of thin air.
Yang Lei's eyes widened:!!!
Dean: "...Haha, he is indeed faster in finding people."
Xie Yunsui quickly found the small house that Gu Xi rented.
"Gu Xi?" He knocked on the door, but there was no response, so he went straight in. Sure enough, there was no one inside.
There was no energy reaction in the room, and no signs of any mysterious intrusion.
The items were neatly arranged, so there was no possibility of them being stolen.
Xie Yunsui walked around and saw a paper crane made of a talisman on the coffee table in the living room.
There are many ways to search for spiritual weapons. Gu Xi once asked Xie Yunsui, if you suddenly encounter something strange and don’t have a spiritual weapon with you, how can you leave a message to others?
Xie Yunsui then taught him how to fold paper cranes using talismans.
By leaving behind the origami man's scent, you can use the paper crane to find the origami man's whereabouts.
He was walking towards the coffee table when he suddenly heard another electronic voice: "Beep, it's 8:30 now, calling the dean..."
It is a home smart screen placed on the cabinet at the door, and the owner of the house has set it up to make automatic calls.
Xie Yunsui suddenly smiled, and the arrangements were complete.
Today is a quiz, but I had something to do but didn’t ask for leave in advance.
I called the dean, but he only answered the call but couldn't hear any sound, so he must have become suspicious.
The talisman paper crane was placed in such a conspicuous place, obviously targeting him.
Triple insurance.
It seems that Xiaoxi was the one who took charge of today's show.
