After two and a half hours of flight, the plane successfully arrived at the Imperial Capital Airport. For some unspeakable reason, Chen Chu called a car in advance. As soon as the two got off the plane, Chen Chu led Lin Yan to the underground parking lot.
Sitting in the spacious business car, Chen Chu was finally able to stretch his legs.
"Senior, do you come to the capital often?" Lin Xi suddenly asked.
Chen Chu was slightly stunned and looked at Lin Yan: "Why do you ask that?"
"I see you are quite familiar with the airport. It's so big that I almost lost my way inside, especially the parking lot. Everything looks the same, but you found it in no time." Chen Chu hardly even looked at the road signs. The two of them went straight to the parking lot after getting off the plane.
"I grew up in the imperial capital and went to Jin City for college." Chen Chu said.
"So you are from the imperial capital. No wonder we look so familiar. But why did you go to Jin City for college? For physics majors, the Imperial Capital University is the No. 1 one." Lin Xi asked casually.
"I didn't pass the exam." Chen Chu said.
"Ah?" Lin Yan was embarrassed by the question. In her impression, Chen Chu was both strong and smart, as if he could do anything well. Moreover, Song Ranran had told her that Chen Chu had published a professional paper that was said to be very impressive, so she never thought that Chen Chu would not be able to get into Imperial Capital University. But looking at it from a broader perspective, Imperial Capital University is the top-ranked university in the country, and few people can get in. It is normal for him to fail.
"No problem." Chen Chu said nonchalantly, "I study physics just for fun, and Green Leaf University is pretty good too."
"Yes, our school is also a 985." Lin Xi quickly puffed out her chest, "It will be well-known if we tell others about it."
The topic was over, but the awkward feeling was still there. Lin didn't dare to say anything more. She took out her phone and opened the official app, intending to use her free time to look at the information in the forum. She could learn about other information slowly, but she had to supplement the information about the sub-space, so that if she was swallowed again one day, she would not be at a loss like the previous two times.
Chen Chuze turned his head and looked out the window. It had been five years since he came back, and the sky in the imperial capital seemed to be a little bluer.
The car drove straight onto the highway from the airport and drove for an hour before finally stopping at a resort in the suburbs of the imperial capital. The resort is surrounded by mountains and water, and the environment is beautiful. Even before Lin entered, she could feel the luxury and comfort inside.
"We booked the entire resort for a meeting?" Lin Yan really couldn't imagine how much it would cost to book such a large resort.
"Yeah." Ordinary people are naturally not allowed to enter the meetings of the supernatural world.
"Headquarters is so rich."
Chen Chu smiled but said nothing.
"I feel like we shouldn't have come in economy class. This environment is only worthy of first class."
"Then let's buy a first-class cabin when we go back." Chen Chu suggested sincerely.
"Will it be reimbursed?" Lin asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Chen Chu nodded.
"Then buy it." Since the company reimburses it, it would be inappropriate not to take advantage of it.
"It's so funny. Where did this poor guy come from? He has the nerve to ask the company for reimbursement for such a small amount of money." A harsh voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Xi.
Lin frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. She found two women in white uniforms. The one who was talking was a girl with dyed red hair. When the girl saw Lin looking at her, she gave Lin a look of disdain and pulled her companion away.
"Wait." Lin was angry, "Did you forget to bring your tutor with you when you went out?"
"How dare you scold me for having no manners?" The girl looked at Lin Yan angrily.
“People with good manners won’t interrupt or curse at others casually.” Lin Xi doesn’t like to cause trouble, but that doesn’t mean she is afraid of it.
"You... an F-rank, why are you so arrogant?" The girl was so embarrassed that she became angry. As she shouted, her supernatural power surged. A ball of fire suddenly ignited in her palm. She waved her hand and was about to throw it at Lin's head, "I'll burn all your hair!"
Oh my god! Why did he suddenly start to attack, and he even used supernatural powers. It was too late for Lin Xi to hide, so she could only hold her head and turn to the side subconsciously. At the same time, a slender and strong arm brushed her cheek and reached out to block the flames flying towards her.
The deep red flame was easily held in Chen Chu's palm. The flame was still burning fiercely, but Lin Xi could no longer feel the slightest heat.
"Don't play with fire casually." Under the other party's shocked gaze, Chen Chu clasped his hands together and easily extinguished the flame.
"Grade A?" The red-haired girl's face turned pale.
"Apologize." Chen Chu retracted his arm and glanced coldly at the red-haired girl.
"Sorry... I'm sorry." In the supernatural world, the strong prey on the weak, and this phenomenon still exists even within official organizations. This is why the red-haired woman laughed at Lin Yan casually when she felt that Lin Yan's energy was weak and only F-level. Because she knew that even if she laughed at her, the other party would not dare to do anything. And as long as she did not harm the other party's life, the law enforcement team would not care.
Similarly, if she encounters someone stronger than herself, the law enforcement team will not care as long as the other party does not harm her life.
Chen Chu seemed satisfied. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Xi.
Caught off guard by Chen Chu's gaze, Lin Xi came to her senses abruptly, turned her head away, and stood there uncomfortably.
"What do you think?" Chen Chu asked.
"ah?"
"Do you accept their apology?" Chen Chu asked.
Did they apologize just now?
Lin looked at the two pale-faced girls. The two girls seemed to know that Lin didn't hear them just now, and they quickly apologized again and again: "Sorry, we are wrong, please forgive us."
"Don't use your superpowers to hurt people in the future, okay? You're too vicious to burn my hair," Lin Xi scolded.
"I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again." The red-haired girl no longer had the arrogance she had just now, and could only apologize vigorously.
"Okay, let's go."
The two girls looked at Chen Chu nervously, and when they saw that he didn't react, they ran away cautiously.
"Let's go in." Chen Chu picked up the suitcase again and strode ahead.
Lin Xi followed behind, looking at Chen Chu's tall back, and all that echoed in his mind was the scene of Chen Chu raising his hands to help him block the flames.
"Aunt Lin?" Chen Chu walked to the lobby door and saw Aunt Lin still standing there in a daze, so he called out to her in confusion.
Lin said "oh" and ran over quickly. The two of them walked through the magnificent lobby and came to the front desk to check in.
"Please show me your invitation letter." The front desk lady said politely.
"Here." Lin Xi quickly took out the invitation letter from her bag and handed it over.
"Wait a moment." After checking, the front desk clerk quickly operated on the computer and handed over two room cards: "1801, 1802."
Chen Chu took the room cards, handed one to Lin Yan, and asked casually, "Did you reserve this room?"
"No." When Lin Xi received the notice to go on a business trip to the capital, she only had enough time to pack her luggage and buy a plane ticket. She didn't even have time to check the specific address of the resort, let alone book a room.
"That was booked by Assistant Tan." He even booked two rooms. He wasn't afraid of being discovered at all.
After checking in, the two took the elevator to the 18th floor. The hotel elevator was semi-transparent. Chen Chu looked at Lin Yan, who was looking around with great interest. After thinking for a while, he reminded her, "The supernatural world values strength, and those who can come here to participate in the material exchange conference are all the more outstanding supernaturals in each branch. When you go out alone, try not to conflict with others. If you are bullied, come back and tell me."
Although Lin Xi had some powerful gadgets, her combat experience was far inferior to that of other psychics, and Chen Chu was afraid that she would suffer a loss if she went out alone. For example, in the situation just now, if he hadn't been there, Lin Xi's hair would definitely not have been saved.
Come back and tell me? Is he trying to support himself? Lin Yan thought to herself, but she responded obediently: "I know, I'm not stupid. I'm an F-level, and no one can beat me."
Chen Chu smiled and said, "So you knew. I saw you were so fierce just now, I thought..."
"Was I fierce just now?" Oh no, did I look like a shrew just now?
"Not really, I just look like it's about to rise." Judging from the look on Lin Xi's face just now, someone who didn't know her would have thought that her ability level was higher than hers.
"I was just too angry just now, and... I didn't expect her to use her superpowers right from the start." If Lin Xi knew that the other party was going to burn her hair with fire right from the start, she would definitely take out the ruler first.
This is so vicious that he must be punished with ten punishments.
"From the moment you enter this resort, everyone around you is a psychic. Psychics have different values from ordinary people, and many people's personalities are affected by their psychics. For example, fire-type psychics tend to be hot-tempered and impulsive. Ice-type psychics tend to be colder. Curse masters tend to be stubborn and venomous," Chen Chu analyzed.
"No wonder the King of Wu is so venomous." Lin Xi didn't feel that the King of Wu was biased in any way, but she felt his venomous tongue.
As they were talking, Lin's cell phone suddenly rang, and there was an incoming email.
"Hey, Assistant Tan sent me an email." Lin Yan clicked it to check, and after reading it, she looked at Chen Chu with a very complicated look.
What's wrong?
"Look for yourself." Lin Xi handed the phone over.
Chen Chu took it curiously and saw that the email from Assistant Tan read:
[Mrs. Lin: The purchase list is in the attachment. Just buy the items according to it. If you encounter any problems, don't ask me. Ask Chen Chu. Chen Chu is more useful than me. As long as Chen Chu is there, you can walk around the conference with ease. Remember, you are representing the face of Group 6. You can lose face, but Group 6 cannot. If you lose face, go find Chen Chu and cry.]
“……”陳初深深的吸了口氣,才忍住了自己翻騰的怒火。
譚助理,你這關閉的很随意啊,閉關途中還能抽空發個郵件?不怕走火入魔啊。
“我真的可以橫着走嗎?”林媗小心翼翼的問道。
陳初睨她一眼:“你想怎麽橫?”
“開玩笑的,你放心,我保證不主動惹是生非。”林媗連忙保證道。
“ 不哭就行。”陳初語氣裏是滿滿的無奈,把手機還給林媗。這時候電梯正好到了十八樓,陳初提着行李箱走了出去。
林媗慢了一拍才跟上,腦子裏全是陳初最後那句話。
不哭就行,是說只要自己不哭,惹是生非也行嗎?
“到了。”陳初把林媗的行李放在1802房間門口,然後自己去了1801.
林媗取出房卡,開門進了房間。
如此高檔的度假村,房間的布置自然不會差,推門進去,入目的便是巨大的落地窗,落日的餘晖從陽臺灑進來,染了一地的金黃。精致的擺設,柔軟的大床,氛圍感十足的臺燈,還有浴室裏巨大的浴缸,無一不宣告着這間房間的舒适。
林媗忽然生出一種想把自己家拆了照着這個樣子裝修一番的沖動。
林媗沒忍住拍照發了朋友圈:我司的出差标準。
配上九宮格,把酒店的環境,淋漓盡致的展示了出來。
底下頓時一片點贊加留言。
許阮:哇哦,這得五星級吧,我那破公司,出差标準最多三百塊,也就只能睡睡快捷酒店。羨慕嫉妒恨。
楚菲菲:浴缸好高級,還帶按摩功能呢。
寧雅丹:酒店環境這麽好,你是出差還是度假呢?
宋冉冉:你們公司可以啊,這房間起碼3000一晚。在哪呢,我去找你去。
林媗靠在柔軟的沙發裏,笑眯眯的回複着留言,這時候六組的群裏有人@她。
海王:[@林媗,你去參加異能物資交換大會了?]
林媗:[嗯。]
海王:[怎麽你去了,譚助理呢?]
林媗:[譚助理說他要閉關。]
青空:[這麽巧,這時候閉關?]
污王:[你一個人去的?]
林媗:[還有陳初。]
污王:[哦。]
青空:[難怪。]
海王:[我就說嘛。]
林媗看的一頭霧水:[你們打什麽啞謎呢?]
海王:[@所有人,那我們是不是可以買東西了。]
青空:[沒錯。]
污王:[好像是的。]
初:[……]
海王:[@林媗,可以幫我買點東西嗎?積分我轉給你。]
林媗:[你之前沒報備給譚助理嗎?]
海王:[我忘了。]
林媗:[那行,誰還要買的,現在都發給我,我整理一下,明天一起去買。]
林媗這話一出,群裏呼啦啦的報上來一堆東西,除了陳初和閉關的譚助理,每個人都有東西要買。
“這麽多啊。”林媗都驚了,她以為大家就算忘記報備了,頂多也就是一兩樣,結果這些人就差又給她發了個清單過來了。
林媗本來還想去浴缸裏泡個澡,這會兒也沒時間了,從行李箱裏拿出電腦來,當即把所有東西整合,重新整理出一份采購清單來。等整理完,已經快九點了。
林媗餓的不行,想着這個時間已經過了飯點了,便給前臺打了個電話。
“您好,請問一下現在還有吃的嗎?”林媗問。
“您是要點餐到房間去吃,還是去餐廳吃呢?”前臺禮貌的問道。
“現在餐廳還開着嗎?”林媗驚訝道。
“是的,頂層有自助餐廳,一直營業到12點。”
“那我自己去餐廳吃吧。”林媗挂了電話,換了鞋便出門了。點餐到房間還得等一會兒,她實在是太餓了,等不及。
林媗刷卡坐電梯到頂樓,因為過了飯點的關系,餐廳裏人不多,但餐臺上的食物卻不少。林媗裝了一個大盤子,又接了一杯果汁,尋了一個靠窗的座位,獨自享用起來。快吃完的時候,忽然聽到隔壁有人說話。
“聽說第二天的拍賣會有詛咒之眼。”
詛咒之眼?林媗聽到熟悉的名詞,好奇的往隔壁看去。隔壁坐着三個穿着銀灰色制服的年輕男女,林媗感覺不到能量波動,不知道他們的異能等級,但她發現了一個特點,就是來這裏的人好像都穿着制服,只有她和陳初是穿着便服來的。
是因為來的匆忙,譚助理忘記把制服給自己嗎?
“我一定要拍下詛咒之眼。”第二個說話的是一個溫柔好聽的女聲,聲音好聽到讓人忍不住的想要去看主人的臉。
兩個桌子中間隔着簾子,林媗看不清對方的長相,但猜測能有如此好聽聲音的人,一定也是個美女。
“詛咒之眼只有詛咒師有用,不會有人跟我們搶的。”
搶?詛咒之眼難道只有一個嗎?污王給自己的清單裏就有這東西,不知道能不能搶到。
林媗對于這個交換大會可以說是一無所知,來之前譚助理也只給了林媗采購清單,林媗便默認為這裏的東西是都可以買到的,完全沒考慮過東西不夠可能還得和人搶這種情況。
“對了,這次拍賣會會放幾把鑰匙出來?”
“聽說有十把。”
“這個應該很多人搶。”
“鑰匙雖然很多人想要,但S級異能者才能拍,整個官方組織一共才幾個S級?老師給了我授權,到時候我們一定能拍到。”
鑰匙?是空間門的鑰匙嗎?采購清單裏好像沒有啊。不是說是戰略物資嗎,譚助理忘記整理了嗎?
林媗想了想,低頭在群裏詢問:[聽說這次交換大會有次空間的鑰匙,你們有人要買嗎?]
海王:[要那東西幹嘛?]
林媗:[不是說是戰略物資嗎?我聽說很多人要搶。]
青空:[那是別人,我們不需要。]
海王:[沒錯。]
林媗:[上次譚助理不是說跟總部申請了幾個月都沒拿到嗎?]
青空:[我猜他已經撤銷申請了。]
林媗:[為什麽?]
污王:[……]
林媗看見污王,立刻@道:[污王,詛咒之眼好像要拍賣,不知道能不能搶到。]
污王:[到時候你讓陳初舉牌子。]
初:[……]
“聽說今天六組的人到了。”
六組?林媗打字的手一頓,他們說的六組是指自己嗎。
“六組每年都來人,但陳初一次沒來過。”
他們認識陳初學長?
林媗悄咪咪的往後靠了靠,打算多聽一些。
“六組那些人也真好意思,如果不是陳初,他們哪裏有這麽高的積分可以參加這種等級的大會。”
林媗蹙眉:這人酸什麽啊,我們怎麽就不好意思了?陳初學長也是我們六組的人啊,沾光有什麽問題。說的好像陳初學長是你們的人似的。不過,聽着好像這個大會不是每個部門都有資格參加的樣子。
林媗今天早上才拿到自己的正式員工賬號,對于官組織內部的一些情況還不是很了解。如果她了解,就會知道這些人為什麽說六組是占了陳初的光了。
一年一度的異能物資交換大會,受邀請的是官方組織裏積分最高的前三十個部門,像六組這種整個部門加起來還不到十個人的小部門,根本沒有資格參加。但陳初是S級,有S級組員的部門可以無視積分受邀參加大會。而且,大會上很多東西只有S級才有資格購買,所以六組的人才會在知道陳初參加了這次大會之後,瘋狂提交采購清單。
“陳初是不是再也不回來了?他當初特意考去晉市……”
特意考過去?不是因為考不上帝都大學嗎?有故事啊。
林媗八卦之魂熊熊燃起,恨不能蹲到隔壁桌去聽。
“他會回來的,鎖魂樓次空間,最常覆蓋的地方就是帝都。為了解開詛咒,他一定會再回來的。”
詛咒?!
什麽意思?陳初學長身上有詛咒?不會吧,陳初學長是S級,誰能在他身上下詛咒。
“不管他會不會來,下次鎖魂樓開啓,我一定要進去,幫陳初找到解開詛咒的道具。 ”
鎖魂樓,解開詛咒的道具?所以陳初學長真的被詛咒了,解開的辦法在這個叫鎖魂樓的次空間裏。可陳初學長都S級了,有什麽次空間是他自己不能去的?
林媗想了想,給污王私發了一條微信:[陳初學長身上有詛咒?]
污王:[誰跟你說的?]
林媗:[我偷聽來的,好像是陳初學長在帝都的舊相識。]
污王:[我不清楚,我沒有從陳初的身上感覺到詛咒的氣息。]
林媗:[那你知道鎖魂樓嗎?]
污王:[對方提到鎖魂樓了?]
林媗:[對,說是解開詛咒的道具在鎖魂樓裏。]
污王:[鎖魂樓是S級次空間,這個次空間不大,只有一座七層樓閣。每一層都鎖着一個詛咒大師,所以也可以叫詛咒之樓。每一個進樓的人都會受到詛咒,但解開詛咒的道具也在樓裏。如果陳初身上真的有詛咒,那應該是七層的詛咒。]
林媗:[很厲害嗎?]
Dirt King: [Very!]
Although she knew that there was little hope, Lin couldn't help but ask: [Can't you solve it?]
Dirty King: [Let me tell you this, if I can unlock it, I will basically be invincible.]
Why does it sound like a terminal illness?
"Let's go, it's almost time to go back to bed."
Hearing the sound of a chair being moved from next door, Lin Xi quickly straightened her sitting posture and waited until the other party left before relaxing.
For a moment, Lin wanted to knock on Chen Chu's door and ask if he was really cursed. But after thinking about it, she held back. With Chen Chu's ability, if he couldn't solve the problem, it seemed that she couldn't help.
