Si Xu drove home in a hurry. His father was commenting on his mother's flower arrangement skills. The serious father also had some unserious moments, which made his mother laugh. "Don't say that when you go out, it will make people laugh."

"I'm being realistic. Your flower arrangement skills are indeed comparable to those of a master. Every vase of flowers is beautiful." Si Qinian said seriously.

"Really?" Song Mozhi was very happy. He held the vase and examined it carefully, as if he wanted to find the shadow of a master.

"Of course, I never lied to you." There was no trace of joking on Si Qinian's face.

Si Xu, who had just entered the door, said: "..."

Shouldn't he come in at this time?

Song Mozhi looked up and saw Si Xu standing at the door. He smiled and said, "A Xu, come and have a look. How do I arrange the flowers in this vase?" Si

Xu glanced at his father. His father had a serious face and warned him that if Si Xu dared to say it was not beautiful, he would not want this son.

Si Xu looked at the vase full of chaotic beauty and wanted to ask his father how thick the filter was to be able to praise it so seriously.

"Beautiful..." It was only slightly worse than Lu Jiu's flower arrangement skills, but he didn't dare to say it.

Si Qinian embraced his wife and kissed her head. "Sit for a while. I'll come to accompany you after I talk to A Xu."

"Okay, go ahead." Song Mozhi was in a very good mood.

Aunt Chen brought another basket of roses. Song Mozhi asked Aunt Chen to put it down, and the two began to work again.

The roses were bright and juicy, red like fire, and very warm, which reminded Si Xu of Lu Jiu's low body temperature. He was cold and clear, so he should be warmed up by such a warm color.

Si Xu said, "Mom, help me pack a bouquet of roses, I'll give it to someone."

Song Mozhi's eyes immediately lit up, flashing with gossip, "Are you going to give it to a girl?"

Si Xu was helpless, "No."

Song Mozhi regretted, "Then who are you going to give it to? Red roses can't be given to anyone casually, it's easy to cause misunderstandings."

"Red roses, very suitable for him." Too light, a strong color should be used.

Si Xu followed Si Qinian upstairs, and the two went straight to the study.

Si Qinian took out a file bag from the drawer, poured out the information inside, and put it on the desk.

Si Xu saw at a glance that the photo of the first one in the upper left corner was of Lu Jiu.

Si Qinian clicked on the information, "Lu Jiu, 20 years old, parents unknown. Lu Changde, from Huaifeng County, D City, picked up a baby by the river. He was 62 years old at the time. He wanted his children to adopt Lu Jiu, but they refused, so he adopted the baby himself, and had a quarrel with his children.

Ten years ago, you drove to Huaifeng County to take pictures of maple forests. On the road, you saw an old man riding an electric bike with a child who fell in front of your car. The old man broke his leg, and you sent them to the hospital, but they were Family members falsely believed that she was the perpetrator of the accident...

When Jiu Jiu was 14, Jiu Changde died of lung cancer. The small house that Jiu Changde left for Jiu Jiu was occupied by Jiu Changde's son Jiu Hai. Jiu Jiu could only live in school and go to school by doing odd jobs and scholarships. At the age of 16, she was discovered by "Chuangxing" and signed as a trainee. She transferred to City A and developed while studying. Half a year later, she debuted with Duan Chengzhou, Huo Wei, and Ling Chen.

A year ago, she was missing in a car accident. The police could not find any clues. More than two months ago, He was recognized by the police when he went to apply for a new ID card. He did not give a reasonable explanation for the year he was missing. Since he came back, silver fish and black star beads have appeared. Of course, there are more ingredients in the Magic Fish Shop than these. So, how could he disappear for a whole year without leaving any trace?

Some time ago, he was in a lawsuit with "Chuangxing". The senior management, brokers, financial staff of "Chuangxing" and the artists who had a feud with him suddenly revealed themselves inexplicably, bringing It has a huge negative impact. According to the investigation, Lu Jiu took the initiative to meet with these people. They clearly met in a conference room, and the surveillance in the conference room was working normally, but nothing was captured. It seemed that no one had entered the conference room, but the front desk of "Chuangxing" was very sure that they had a meeting in that conference room. Other artists from the same company saw Lu Jiu go to the company. This matter was related to Lu Jiu, and it was a nail in the coffin. "

Si Qinian's focus was on Lu Jiu.

Si Xu, however, was on Lu Jiu's experience over the years. He wanted to ask Grandpa Lu about his health several times, but there was no suitable opportunity. He didn't expect that Grandpa Lu was no longer with him.

When Si Xu thought about how little Lu Jiu lost his grandfather and was kicked out of the house, living alone and having a hard life, his chest ached. He hated himself for losing him...

Si Qinian said, "What adventures he had are his private affairs. We don't have to ask about them. But there is one thing we must know. Is he an enhanced person? If he is, what abilities does he have? We have special restrictions on enhanced people. We cannot allow him to use his abilities on ordinary people. No matter how heinous their crimes are, he cannot deal with them. Even if he cooperates with the 'Special Security Department', he does not have such privileges.

After examination, it was found that the brain structures of these people who exposed themselves had changed, as if some kind of mutation had occurred. They were very protective of Lu Jiu. They are very protective and cannot stand hearing anyone say anything bad about Lu Jiu. If they continue to verbally attack Lu Jiu, they will become agitated, irritable, and out of control, and have serious violent tendencies.

In addition to the "Chuangxing" group, Lu Jiu was cyberbullied some time ago, and some people who went to cause trouble had headaches and were sent to the hospital. They also exposed themselves and apologized, and they were also arranged for examinations. In addition to Besides being very protective of Lu Jiu, their brain structures have not changed, and their reactions to Lu Jiu are also milder than those of 'Chuang Xing'. We suspect that Lu Jiu's ability may be related to mental control."

Si Xu remained silent. He didn't know why his father told him all this. If there was something wrong, the "Special Security Department" should have gone to talk to Lu Jiu instead of his father talking to him.

Si Qinian said: "I know you have a good relationship with Lu Jiu. I just want to make sure now, have you been affected by his ability?"

"No." Si Xu answered affirmatively.

Si Qinian: "How do you know? We don't know what form his ability takes. The scene of besieging Lu Jiu was filmed and the whole process was recorded. Lu Jiu only said one sentence from beginning to end. We don't rule out that he can control people by talking. Think about how many words you have said to him. If he wants to influence you, you don't even know which sentence will make you fall into the trap."

"He won't." Si Xu said seriously: "He has his own bottom line. Even if he really has such ability, he won't use it casually. In addition to these two cases, can you find anything else?"

Si Qinian frowned, "These two cases are not enough? You want more? This is because we haven't found conclusive evidence. Once there is evidence..."

"So what if there is evidence? Enhanced people don't need energy ingredients and energy wine, right?" Si Xu interrupted his father.

Si Qinian: "..."

Si Qinian could only stare blankly.

Si Xu knew that his father didn't really want to do anything to Lu Jiu, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much to him and would have gone to get him already.

Si Xu said, "Dad, don't worry. Although he has been through so many things, he is kind by nature and has not gone astray. No matter what abilities he has, you don't have to worry. He knows what to do and what not to do."

Si Qinian said unhappily, "You seem to be influenced by him."

Si Xu was helpless, "You asked me to come back at this time, you didn't just say this, did you?"

Si Qinian knocked on the table seriously, "Things can only happen once and twice, but not three times. Although the 'Special Security Department' has not seized any evidence, it cannot prove that Lu Jiu is innocent. Someone will talk to him about this matter. I'm looking for you because I want to give you a special task."

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu: "I seem to be a non-staff member."

Si Qinian snorted, "If you don't want to do it, just say so. I can arrange for someone else to protect Lu Jiu..."

"I think I am very suitable for this mission." Si Xu said seriously.

Si Qinian's hands were itchy and he wanted to beat his son. He felt more and more that his son was influenced by Lu Jiu.

Si Xu ignored his father's scrutinizing gaze, "What happened? Why do you want to protect Lu Jiu?"

Si Qinian sighed, full of powerlessness, "Something unexpected happened. I'm afraid I won't have peace in the future... Letting you protect Lu Jiu is also an advance preparation, just in case. Of course, the premise of protection is that you are strong enough. If you can't even beat the person you want to protect, don't protect others. It's time for others to protect you instead."

Thinking of Lu Jiu's injured appearance, Si Xu was heartbroken. He grabbed it again, "I will work hard to become stronger, I will definitely be able to protect him."

Si Qinian looked at his son with an increasingly strange look in his eyes, "Are you really not affected?"

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu: "Really not, I did this out of my heart. If his ability can affect people's hearts in addition to their brains, then you don't have to cooperate with him. Hurry up and take him to the 'Special Security Department' to take charge. He can take on all of you."

Si Qinian: "..."

This son is definitely not normal!

Si Xu: "..."

Why is my father so suspicious? What stimulated him?

At the end of the conversation, when Si Xu was about to leave, Si Qinian said again: "You don't have to protect him deliberately. I arranged it for you. Besides your ability, you can see him often and he is friendly to you. You can observe whether there are any unstable factors around him."

"Understood."

"One more thing." Si Qinian called him again.

Si Xu turned around.

Si Qinian pondered, "Don't spend your birthday with your fans this year. Your grandparents and grandpa want to spend it with you..."

Si Xu looked at the sadness between his father's brows and understood what he had not said.

His illness may not last until next year's birthday after this year's birthday. His grandparents and grandfather are all aware of the situation. They want to spend this birthday with him. And his father and mother who are unaware of the situation also want to be with him.

Si Xu didn't dare to think about what would happen to his family, his mother, and Lu Jiu if that day really came...

Si Xu smiled bitterly in his heart. Sure enough, he still couldn't say it. A person like him who was living one day less and one day less, couldn't even be responsible for himself, so how could he be responsible for what he said?

If he couldn't live, he might as well not say anything, don't provoke him, don't pursue him, just treat him as a friend, maybe when he leaves, Lu Jiu won't care so much, and his original life won't be affected.

"I know." Si Xu waved and went downstairs to get his roses.

What was waiting for him was a basket full of chaotic beauty.

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu: "I remember I was talking about a bouquet of roses..."

"There is no wrapping paper and ribbons at home, only flower baskets and vases. I think flower baskets are easier to carry. If you prefer vases, I'll put another one for you." Song Mozhi gave the second option.

Si Xu: "..."

He had already heard his father's footsteps coming downstairs.

Si Xu immediately took the flower basket, "A flower basket is fine, thank you, Mom."

Si Xu hugged his mother and ran away quickly.

This is indeed good, avoiding misunderstandings.

He didn't have a headache during this period. He almost forgot about his illness. When he asked his mother to help with the rose bouquet, he actually had an impulse to confess his feelings. His father's words woke him up. How can a person who doesn't even have a future give others a future?

Rujiu stood at the door of the shiny bathroom and slowly closed the door.

He must have opened it the wrong way, so he closed it and tried again.

When he opened it the second time, the bathroom was still clean and tidy.

Rujiu: "..."

Being caught lying, the person being deceived can still act as if nothing happened. How fucking embarrassing is this!

Thinking of the blood-stained towel and bathrobe, Lu Jiu hurried to rummage the trash can, but he must not throw it away, because it was covered with his blood. If this got out and someone tested it and found out that it was not human blood, it would be a big trouble.

The trash can was clean and there was nothing found. However, on the balcony, he found a dried towel, a bathrobe and a pair of plush pajamas with split legs.

Lu Jiu: "..."

He turned his eyes away guiltily, not daring to look at the balcony again.

There is nothing to repay, only delicious food to feed!

Lu Jiu went to the living room, put out the fish pond and the super smart kitchen. He didn't want to flood the house, so he could only go to the super smart kitchen to drag the little blue devil out. He didn't dare to use too much force for fear that the wound would burst, so he could only do it slowly.

After finally dragging the little blue devil out of the fish pond, Lu Jiu carefully checked it and made sure it was fine before he felt relieved to cut it up.

The little blue devil was blue all over, with the bottom of the tentacles and near the suction cups being yellow-brown. Its big head alone was more than two meters tall, and with the tentacles, it was easily more than ten meters long. Don't be fooled by the little blue devil's size, it's actually just a baby. According to the system, Lu Jiu can only fight to the death with such a baby, and if he encounters an adult little blue devil, he won't even have a chance to escape.

Lu Jiu actually didn't want to imagine how big the little blue devil would be when it grows up, and how difficult it would be to deal with. The system's description of it as "the most difficult killer in the sea of ​​demons" was absolutely correct. Lu Jiu didn't want to encounter the little blue devil again, it was too scary.

Lu Jiu thought it was too scary, but his men were not polite at all. They pushed the cutting machine and cut off all the tentacles of the little blue demon. They pushed down the bald blue head and continued to cut. The skin and flesh were too thick. Lu Jiu might not be able to cut it before he was injured. After he was injured, there was no hope. He could only rely on the power of the machine, which was easy, convenient and fast.

The little blue demon only had blue skin, and the meat was white and very thick. It should be delicious. Boss Lu himself had never eaten it.

Lu Jiu used the machine to pick out the dirty and inedible parts. The system gave him 3 points of recycling magic points. After cleaning, Lu Jiu cut the meat of the little blue demon into pieces and cut the thick tentacles into sections. He stuffed them all into the refrigerator.

In order to make room, Lu Jiu gathered all the Magic Flower Dragons in the refrigerator together, and temporarily placed those that could not be put in the living room. After moving out all the collections such as fruits, caviar and black star beads, the refrigerator still could not hold all the small blue magic. These seafood must not be left outside, otherwise they would soon go bad.

Lu Jiu was helpless and could only seek help from the system.

[Doubling the size of the food storage area requires 100 magic points. Do you want to expand it? ]

Lu Jiu: "..."

The magic points he had worked so hard to save were gone.

It turned out to be a dream to save magic points to buy blood purifiers and intermediate gene enhancers.

No matter how reluctant Lu Jiu was, he had to expand it, otherwise the ingredients would go bad if left outside, and he would definitely be accused of wasting ingredients. The system would quickly deduct his magic points, a vicious cycle, and he had to spend money when it was time to spend it, even if he cried.

Lu Jiu: "Expand it."

Lu Jiu was tired.

[100 points of magic points have been deducted, and the food storage area has been doubled in size.]

Lu Jiu looked at the refrigerator that had doubled in size in an instant, and he was so moved that he wanted to cry. He only had 6 points of magic points left, and he was on the verge of death!

These 6 points of magic points must not be used anymore, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to open the door.

With tears in his eyes, he moved all the things he had moved out back and put them neatly in place. The little blue demon was finally able to put everything in.

After finishing all this, Lu Jiu was already exhausted.

He left half of the tentacle uncut, ready to open Si Xu's eyes, which was why he was injured. Such a big guy, anyone who encountered it would be injured. Fortunately, he was not a human. If it had happened to a human, there would have been no body left.

Lu Jiu rinsed the tentacle clean. It was soft and sticky, and difficult to shape. Lu Jiu found a medium-sized pot. The medium size was enough. If it was a large pot, the whole little blue devil could probably be stuffed in.

When the water boiled, Lu Jiu controlled the robotic arm to pick up half of the tentacle and put it into the pot. Lu Jiu controlled the time and immediately controlled the robotic arm to take it out when the meat was the most tender and put it into the ice pool that had been prepared nearby. This way, the tentacle meat would be more chewy and elastic. If you want to eat softer tentacle meat, you can cut it into small pieces and add seasoning to continue cooking. Now it is just the most basic processing.

Rujiu pushed the mechanical arm and lifted the dried tentacle into the living room. Rujiu looked around and found that there was no other place to put it except the small living room. Rujiu found an oversized wooden tray from the super-smart kitchen, which was as big as the bed board. Rujiu dragged it out of the kitchen and placed it in the living room. Then he controlled the mechanical arm to carefully put the tentacle on the wooden tray. Rujiu pushed the mechanical arm back to the super-smart kitchen, tidied it up briefly, and closed the kitchen.

Rujiu wanted to cover it with something. The largest thing in the house was the bed sheet. Rujiu didn't want to sleep with the bed sheet that had covered the little blue devil, so he could only leave it like this.

In order to look more beautiful and less scary, Lu Jiu fiddled with it and finally managed to pose in a relatively elegant manner, waiting for Si Xu to come over.

Just as Lu Jiu was ready, he heard a "ding" sound, and the anti-theft lock began to click open in circles. The door opened, and Si Xu walked in with a basket of roses, and the door closed behind him. Si Xu hesitated for a moment before hanging the door card back on the hook.

Lu Jiu stood in the living room, looking at him eagerly.

"Why are you standing there?" Si Xu changed into guest slippers. He was already worried about the alternative flower basket in his hand and had been thinking of an excuse all the way.

However, when he walked out of the entrance hall, he forgot all about the flower basket and the words. All he saw was a huge tentacle covered with suction cups coiled behind Lu Jiu! It was blue in color, and the arrangement was a bit elegant... But no matter how elegant it was, it couldn't cover up the horrible rough skin and the huge suction cups!

"Surprised?" Lu Jiu stepped aside to let Si Xu admire the big tentacle to his heart's content.

Si Xu looked at this thing for a long time before he found his voice again, "Are you surprised or frightened?"

Lu Jiu blinked, looking innocent, "You said you wanted to know the reason for my injury, but verbal explanation may be a bit mysterious, so we can only prove it with physical objects."

Si Xu stared at Lu Jiu again and again, and found that this little guy seemed to be well-behaved and cold on the surface, but in fact he was full of bad intentions.

Si Xu handed the flower basket that he almost scared away to Lu Jiu, and moved closer to check the big tentacle.

Lu Jiu was confused: "..."

Someone sent such a rose basket when visiting a patient?

The more Si Xu looked at it, the tighter his frown became. "Is this an octopus tentacle?"

Lu Jiu put the flower basket on the dining table. "Almost. It's a tentacle after all."

The shock in Si Xu's eyes had not yet dissipated. He didn't need to see the whole thing. Just a piece of tentacle could infer how huge this octopus was... It should be an octopus, right? But the color is not right. Is there such a blue octopus in the world?

The position where the tentacle was cut off is like a thick tree stump. The suction cup at the thickest position is unfair to the suction cup. If such a big guy is released, it will definitely be regarded as a monster. However, Lu Xiaojiu, who is bullied as a soft bun, caught such a big guy and used it as food.

Si Xu felt dizzy and had a headache just thinking about it. He didn't dare to think about how Lu Jiu caught this monster. It was unimaginable.

Si Xu opened his mouth and finally asked what was in his mind, "How did you... think of catching this?"

Lu Jiu was very innocent, "I didn't want to catch it, it wanted to eat... bite me, I definitely couldn't let it bite me, and then we had a fight, and it died accidentally."

Si Xu: "..."

He heard the word "eat"!

Si Xu felt that he might need a quick-acting heart-saving pill. He pointed at the big tentacle, "Although your description lacks many important details, shouldn't this thing be in the sea?"

Lu Jiu nodded, "It is in the sea."

"Then how can it eat you? Did you go into the sea?" Si Xu felt a little unbearable. If he was entangled by such a monster in the sea, how did Lu Jiu survive? !

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu seriously corrected him, "It didn't eat me, it just wanted to bite me."

Si Xu's calmness and rationality were a little precarious, "Is this the important point?"

Rujiu looked at him strangely, "How can I catch seafood if I don't go to the sea?"

Si Xu took a few deep breaths and felt his heart was about to stop beating, "Do you go to the sea to catch seafood yourself? Don't you use a fishing net or a fishing rod?"

Rujiu looked at Si Xu's face, afraid of irritating him to the point of hurting him, so he had to say, "Of course, I go to the sea occasionally..."

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu walked aside alone, "Wait a moment, I'll go slowly."

Rujiu looked at the male god facing the wall and began to reflect on herself. Shouldn't she hold back on telling the truth? The male god has been stimulated to the point of shutting himself up.

Si Xu quickly walked back, and after preparing himself mentally, he was the calm and steady Si God again.

"Come, let's talk about the way you catch seafood." Si Xu pulled Lu Jiu to the couch like a child, and the two sat opposite each other. Si Xu was ready to talk to him about safety issues.

"What is the most important thing when going out to sea? Safety! No matter what time or what you are facing, your own safety is the most important thing. You must remember this. I don't know where you got the goods, but you must not know that just a few days ago, the media reported that two fishing boats disappeared in the Pacific Ocean. The rescue team has been searching and rescuing. There was new progress yesterday. The rescue team found the wreckage of the fishing boats. It is almost certain that all the people on the two fishing boats were killed."

Lu Jiu listened obediently without any reaction.

Si Xu continued, "Not only here, but also in other seas, there are reports of shipwrecks. The sea has been uneasy recently, and many fishermen dare not go out to sea. Some coastal cities have issued a ban on sea fishing..."

"Doesn't that mean the price of seafood will increase?" Lu Jiu's eyes sparkled.

Si Xu: "..."

Where on earth is his focus? !

Si Xu: "The price has been rising for a week."

Lu Jiu hurried to find his phone to see what the current price of seafood is, so that he can use it as a reference for his invisible fish and little blue demon. He wants to make money now. The Buddhist Lu boss has been eaten by the little blue demon. Now Lu boss is a money-making machine. He wants to make money from his small shop. He wants to draw blind boxes!

Now, no matter how many Black Star Beads he sells, it is useless if the money does not reach the store account. Working hard to run a small store is the right way. Selling Black Star Beads is a side job. Only a small store is the right way!
