As the defense was about to begin, more and more people came into the dormitory. Students who were doing internships outside asked for leave and returned to school, waiting for the defense to be over so that they could get their diplomas and officially start work.
Lin's dormitory was no exception. The four girls gathered together for the first time in four months. Except for Xu Ruan who found an internship company locally, the other two girls all returned to their hometowns and found jobs there.
"Little girl, let me see your head." Ning Yadan was Lin Xi's roommate who shared the bed next to hers. As she said this, she was about to pull Lin Xi's hair. Lin Xi had no choice but to let her pull it.
"I'm really fine, I just have a bump on my head." Lin Xi said helplessly.
"It seems to be really fine, not even a scar left." Ning Yadan said and called another roommate to come over and take a look.
Chu Feifei was holding the specialty she brought back from her hometown, so she placed it on Lin Nan's desk. She leaned over to take a look and commented, "Indeed, her hair has grown back, and it looks like she's not bald anymore."
After a month, her hair had grown a few centimeters longer, and Lin was no longer as resistant to being called bald as before.
"By the way, have you found a job?" Chu Feifei asked.
"I found it, and it's better than all of ours." Xu Ruan said leisurely while eating the specialties brought back by his roommate.
"Oh, what kind of job? I've never heard you mention it before." Ning Yadan asked immediately.
"It's something that happened recently. I was going to tell you, but then I thought you'd be back soon, so I decided to wait until you came back to tell you, and treat you to dinner while I'm at it." When the three of them found internships, they treated each other to dinner. Lin Xi had eaten three meals, so she had to treat them back.
"She's so generous that she's willing to treat us to a meal. It looks like this job is really good." As roommates, no one knows Lin's house-breaking skills better than them.
"It's nothing, just... a state-owned enterprise." Lin Xi said in a low-key and Versailles tone.
Ning Yadan and Chu Feifei looked at each other with surprise in their eyes: "You are so good, it seems that you didn't have trouble finding a job before, but you didn't like the previous jobs."
"That's right, you made us worry about you for nothing, you scheming girl."
"This meal must be a good one, otherwise we won't be able to quell our jealousy." Xu Ruan also joined in the fun.
"Okay, okay, you can choose any restaurant around the school." Lin Nan waved her hand generously.
The four girls left immediately, put down their things, and found a place to eat. They had a very enjoyable meal, but the topics of their conversation were very different from before. In the past, when they got together, they would talk about gossip, handsome guys, where the food was delicious, and whether they should go shopping together tomorrow. But now, after the whole meal, their topics revolved around work.
Are the colleagues in the company easy to get along with, is there room for development in the position, the attitude of the leaders towards them, etc.
"The company only gave me five days of leave this time I came back, and I have to leave after I finish my defense." Ning Yadan looked depressed, she wanted to play for a few more days.
"I have a week's vacation, and I can stay for two days after the defense." Chu Feifei said.
"I'm worse off than you all. I joined a law firm, and our team leader just took on a case and was very busy, so she didn't give me any time off. When I asked for leave yesterday, she almost ate me." Xu Ruan smiled bitterly, "If I didn't have to defend myself, I wouldn't even dare to ask for it."
"How many days off did you take?" Lin asked.
"Three days." Xu Ruan raised three fingers. "Only these three days, the company won't contact me. As for you, state-owned enterprises should have a lot of leave."
"For me, it's just one week." Lin felt a little guilty because she didn't even think of asking for leave from the company. But this incident also reminded Lin that although she didn't have to go to work at the special office, what if something happened? She should still report it.
After dinner, the four of them made an appointment to go shopping together. While buying milk tea, Lin An edited a message and sent it to Assistant Tan, telling him about the defense she had to prepare this week and asking for leave.
At No. 106 Chunfeng Road, Assistant Tan just received an encrypted message. After just one glance, his expression immediately became serious. He took out his mobile phone, opened six exclusive chat groups, and sent a message.
Assistant Tan: [The subspace is about to open.]
Chu: [Received.]
Haiwang: [Received.]
Dirt King: [Received.]
…
Assistant Tan looked at the series of replies in the group and confirmed that the information had been delivered. Just as he was about to put down his phone, Lin's message came in.
Lin: [Assistant Tan, I have a graduation defense this week, so I would like to ask for a leave from you.]
When Assistant Tan saw Lin Yan's message, he remembered that there was another person in Group 6.
Although Lin Xi had joined the company, he had not yet added her to the exclusive group of Group 6. And he had subconsciously forgotten about Lin Xi in the message just now.
Forget it. Lin Xi’s ability level is too low, so she probably can’t enter the sub-space. There’s no need to tell her.
Assistant Tan replied: [Got it.]
Just as he was about to send it, Assistant Tan suddenly thought of Xiao Wen's comment that he was "on the verge of death." He hesitated for a moment and added: "Be careful these two days."
Putting down the phone, Assistant Tan suddenly hesitated again, wondering whether to send the information about the subspace to Lin. Lin had just woken up and her level was low, so she definitely had no contact with the subspace. After thinking for a moment, Assistant Tan still didn't send it, because although the subspace would randomly devour psychics, the subspace would not look down on psychics below level D.
Forget it. It’s hard to explain sub-space at once. Let Lin Xi finish her answer and let her come over to supplement her knowledge.
After Assistant Tan made the decision, he completely put Lin's affairs aside and turned to his own affairs.
Be careful? Be careful about what?
Lin Xin was puzzled when she received the message. Did Tan Zhu send the wrong message or type the wrong word? When she was hesitating whether to ask for clarification, Xu Ruan came over alone with four cups of milk tea: "Lin Xin, what are you in a daze for? Let's go."
Lin Yan came back to her senses, took the milk tea from Xu Ruan, and joined the other two roommates. The four girls went shopping happily with a cup of milk tea each. They spent the whole afternoon shopping. They got a lot of spoils in the afternoon. After dark, the four girls carried large and small bags to school. They didn't plan to eat dinner. They had already eaten a lot of snacks while shopping.
When she was almost at the dormitory, Lin Yan suddenly remembered that she hadn't picked up a package yet: "Xu Ruan, please help me take the things upstairs. I'll go to the north gate to pick up the package."
Lin handed the shopping bag to Xu Ruan and turned to the north gate. There were many students on the way from the dormitory to the north gate, but the registration system never rang. Speaking of which, she had been out for the whole day and didn't seem to meet a single unlucky person.
Therefore, you should usually save some merit points, just in case one day is like today and you meet someone unlucky.
"Plop", a bamboo stick fell from the stick tube.
Lin Xi paused, her lips twitched. This stick of fortune didn't appear just because of her sigh. She swore that she just sighed casually and didn't really want to bring bad luck to others. Although she needed merit points, she was not so cruel.
The fortune was unfolded: [Yuriko Yamaguchi, female, 25 years old, my god, she will be pierced through the chest by a sword. ]
Lin Xi blinked, and blinked again. Was she seeing things?
A sword pierced through the chest? Lin Xian confirmed again that this sword was indeed a knife. Not to mention that swords, a controlled weapon, could not be bought outside. Even if they were bought, they were unsharpened. Even if they were sharpened, who was so awesome that he could pierce a person's chest with a sword? Were they sure that it would not get stuck in the ribs?
Also, there is a problem with the name. Yamaguchi Yuriko sounds like she is from R country, but there are no international students from R country in their school.
"System, you have a bug?" Lin Wei asked.
"Please do not question the excellence of the system with your limited IQ." System.
“…”Who are you scolding for having limited IQ?
Forget it, I won't bother with you. Saving lives is more important. If a sword pierces the chest, it may be fatal.
Lin began to analyze, "Yuriko Yamaguchi, 25 years old. Who of the people who just walked past me looks like a 25-year-old R countryman?"
Lin looked around, sizing up and down the person who had just walked past her, but her special abilities were occupying grass, climbing on TVs, and using a ruler to teach people a lesson, so she couldn't tell a person's name the moment she saw him or her.
Never mind.
"Who is Yamaguchi Yuriko?" Lin Yan roared while standing on the road with all her might.
The road to the academy was silent for a moment, and the students passing by cast their surprised eyes at her. Lin also looked at them expectantly, hoping that Yamaguchi Yuriko was in the crowd. After a moment, nothing happened. Seeing that Lin didn't do anything strange, the students withdrew their surprised eyes and continued to do what they had to do.
Lin An was anxious and called out again, "Is Yamaguchi Yuriko here?"
The crowd fell silent again, the students looked over again, Lin Xi looked back expectantly again, but still Yamaguchi Yuriko did not appear.
When the crowd started moving again, the people who had just passed by Lin Xi within three meters had already disappeared, and it was almost impossible to find them.
"System, if I meet her again, can I take her hostage a second time?" Although it was almost impossible to find the person again, Lin Xi still planned to try her luck. She had to go to the school gate anyway. If she could meet her again on the way, she would try again. After all, this was a matter of life and death.
"To occupy the stalks for the second time, you need to consume some merit points." System.
"I only earn a little merit for completing a task of occupying the enemy's food once, but you have to spend a little more merit for occupying the enemy's food a second time. Isn't it all in vain?" I know your system is hacked, but it can't be this hacked.
"Excuse me, do you want to enable the secondary occupancy?" The system ignored Lin's complaint and only asked her if she wanted to enable it. It looked like I'm going to collect money, you can buy it or not, anyway, I don't need it urgently.
"Open." Lin Xi had almost no hesitation. If she didn't want to earn the merit points, then she didn't want to earn them. She couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
"The second occupation has been enabled. If you meet Yuriko Yamaguchi again, the system will perform a second occupation." System.
Lin continued walking towards the north gate. Outside the north gate was a snack street. If Yamaguchi Yuriko was lucky, she might be able to meet her again.
“Pah.”
The bamboo stick fell again.
[Yuriko Yamaguchi, female, 25 years old, oh my god, she will be stabbed in the chest with a sword. ]
Lin looked down at her feet, then looked around. It seemed, as if, she had only taken one step forward?
What does this mean? It means that Yuriko Yamaguchi has been staying within three meters of her since the beginning.
What about Keren?
Lin looked around again. From the beginning, people on the road to the college had been walking all the time, and no one had stayed within three meters of her.
Wait, no one?
Could it be that the person that the system took advantage of this time was not a human? Lin Xi suddenly felt a chill down her spine. If it was really that, then she should just ignore it.
Lin touched the goose bumps on the back of her hand, turned around and continued to walk towards the school gate. After walking a few steps, the street lights on the side of the road suddenly flashed, and the school road was dark for about a second. Everyone looked up in confusion, and when they saw the street lights were on again, they didn't say anything and continued to walk forward. No one noticed that in the darkness just now, someone disappeared on the road.
Except for the disappeared person herself - Lin Xi.
Where is this? I was on my way to the academy, why did I suddenly enter the room?
At this time, Lin was standing in a room of about 10 square meters. The room was dim, with a candle lit. There was no other furniture in the room except a table and a bed. Moreover, the style was very simple.
"System, where is this?" Lin Wei quickly asked the system.
"I'm just an occupation system." System.
When the system doesn't want to help, it will repeatedly emphasize that it is just a system that occupies the space. Lin Yan knows that she can't rely on the system, but such a scene can't help but make her start to think wildly.
The previous moment, she was walking on the road to the academy, suspecting that Yamaguchi Yuriko might be Ah Piao. The next moment, she suddenly appeared in this strange room. So Yamaguchi Yuriko could only be Ah Piao.
Could it be that I was dragged in by Yuriko Yamaguchi?
Yes, that must be it.
Lin was extremely determined, and hurriedly opened the system inventory, took out Sadako's long hair and put it on her head. Yamaguchi Yuriko is A-Piao, and so is Sadako. They are from the same country, so it should be easier for them to communicate.
We are all Ah Piao, so let’s not hurt each other.
Lin Xi put on a wig and started to look for the TV exit skillfully, but after turning around, she couldn't find the familiar passage.
Um??
"Is it possible that Zhenzi's resentment cannot match that of Yamaguchi Yuriko?" Lin Xi asked subconsciously.
[Are you doubting my ability? ]
Although there was no sound from the barrage, Lin Yan could still feel the anger coming from between the lines.
"No... no, I absolutely do not doubt what you mean, Boss Zhenzi. I'm just wondering why the passage is gone." Lin Xi explained hurriedly.
[There is an energy barrier here that blocks my sense of the TV. I can only establish a channel by breaking the barrier or assimilating it.]
"Then what can I do to break or assimilate the barrier?" Lin asked.
[I don't know. Don't talk to me anymore. I'm running out of merit points.]
Don't go, talk to me again, can't I pay you with merit points? Lin Xi wanted to say this, but unfortunately, she didn't have any merit points left.
Zhenzi's long hair was useless, so Lin had to take out the master's ruler. Although she didn't know whether the ruler would work on Ah Piao, she felt a little safer. Lin analyzed calmly again.
The system just occupied the space, which proved that Yuriko Yamaguchi was within three meters of me. Judging from the size of the room, Yuriko Yamaguchi was probably outside the door, or next door. She was even looking at me.
Lin took a deep breath, made up her mind, pointed the ruler in the direction of the door, and said, "Yamaguchi Yuriko, come out and talk."
"Bang!"
As Lin Xi finished speaking, the wall on the right was kicked open by someone. A man in a kimono was standing at the entrance of the cave, pulling a woman's hair, looking at Lin Xi with a dim gaze. The woman he was pulling was paralyzed and seemed to be silent.
"Chinese?"
Lin Xi turned around quickly and pointed the ruler at the man.
At this moment, the woman who seemed to have lost her voice as her hair was pulled by the man suddenly jumped up from the ground, bent her five fingers into sharp claws, and fiercely grabbed the man's face. However, the man did not even frown, nor did he even turn his head, but thrust his right samurai sword backwards, piercing the woman's chest with two holes.
The woman twitched twice, and her body became paralyzed again. The five fingers that had turned into claws also turned back into the shape of fingers.
Yuriko Yamaguchi?
Lin was absolutely certain that this woman must be Yamaguchi Yuriko.
"Ding, the task of occupying the husks failed, please continue to work hard." The system prompt rang at the right time, confirming Lin's guess.
At this time, outside, six groups of colleagues who felt the energy fluctuations began to ask questions in the group.
Aquaman: [Who went in?]
Chu: [It’s not me.]
Dirt King: [It’s not me either.]
…
There were about ten people in the group, and no one went in.
People were confused.
Aquaman: [Who went in then?]
They clearly felt the door to the subspace open, which meant that at least one person had entered.
King of Dirt: [It's probably some folk supernatural being, but he's not one of us. It's a pity to miss the chance to find treasure, but his life or death has nothing to do with us. Let's go to sleep.]
Qingkong: [I remember we just hired a new employee.]
Chu: [She is only in Grade F.]
Aquaman: [Yes, she can't get in.]
Dirty King: [Sleep, sleep.]
When Assistant Tan saw someone mention Lin Yan in the group, he subconsciously thought of Xiao Wen's words "a dying face". He was just getting worried, but Chen Chu's words "she is only F grade" put his mind at ease.
It shouldn't be her who went in. F-level superpowers would not be respected in the sub-space, and... the door is closed now. Even if Lin Xi was really sucked in, all he can do is help apply for a pension.
Wait, it seems that Lin Xi just asked for leave from him.
Um……
