Chapter 79: Dark Clouds, Go Away! - Fairy Tale, She's the Boss...
[Teacher, the owner of the hair and the owner of the cigarette butt are related. Although you didn't tell me, I took the opportunity to compare their genes with those in the organization's database. Guess what I found?]
[Akai Tsutomu, who defected 14 years ago, is actually a direct blood relative of these two people! ]
Lin Xi: ...
Thank you, it's a shame that you sent it in two parts, but I'm really not surprised.
She replied: [Wow, really? How amazing! They're actually blood relatives, haha.]
Madeira: ...
You already knew it, didn't you?
Lin Xi: [How is that possible? I just found out. Hahaha.]
Madeira stared at the three "ha"s and laughed helplessly.
[Did you just hack into the experimental subject database? ]
Lin Xi: [Huh? Ahahahaha, you actually found out!]
Madeira: ...
Really, this "hahaha" reduces the credibility of the entire message.
Please stop laughing, he's scared.
"Don't worry, Sensei. I won't tell Rum. I just happened to see it because I was looking through the experimental subject's data."
How terrifying it is for a worker to suddenly see the face of his immediate boss when clicking on the experimental subject's information that suddenly appears at the bottom of the page.
Lin Xi thought for a moment: [Don't call me teacher, call me subject 004753.]
Madeira: ...
He readily agreed: [Okay, 004753, as you say, 004753.]
Lin Xi: [004753 is currently executing a mission. Press 1 to enter instructions, press 2 to query the location, or press 0 for manual service.]
Madeira: ...
He typed a bunch of zeros and sent them over.
Lin Xi: [Sorry, the question you entered cannot be found here. Please try again.]
Madeira: [0]
Lin Xi: [We are transferring you to a human operator. Currently in the queue. 921,364 people are waiting. Estimated wait time: 8 days and 5 hours...]
Madeira:?
The boss did it on purpose, right?
Is 920,000 a bit too much? How long will it take to get there?
Okay, he knew the teacher didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
He thought about it and sent another 1.
Lin Xi: [Please enter the command.]
Madeira: 【Pay attention to me, teacher.】
Lin Xi: [The acceptance information does not exist. Please re-enter.]
Madeira: [Woo woo...Okay, teacher, remember to bring some of the quick-healing medicine I made, both for internal and external use. Also, take plenty of the other flying fish pills and cat medicine. You never know when they'll need them! I also prepared a few boxes of APTX4869 for you!]
Lin Xi raised his head from the phone screen and looked speechlessly at the large bag of things piled on the table beside him.
Ah, this is really something for her...
No, Madera only packed the medicine in there, nothing else? How much medicine did he pack to make such a big package?
Fortunately, Lin Xi had a system backpack, otherwise, if he carried it on his shoulders, he would probably attract attention along the way!
Lin Xi put down his phone, threw a bag of things into the system space, and then walked out the door.
"I've got it done, we can leave anytime!"
Miyano Shiho stood outside the door, looking at her speechlessly: "Aren't you going to pack up your belongings?"
"I've finished packing," Lin Xi waved her hand. "I just threw it into my exclusive extra-dimensional pocket. Also, what belongings does the experimental subject have? Hey, wait..."
She squatted down.
If it was Haibara Ai, Lin Xi's eyes would be level with hers at this moment, but if it was 12-year-old Miyano Shiho, Lin Xi had to squat down and slightly raise her head to look at Miyano Shiho's face.
"What?" Miyano Shiho asked in confusion.
"Here, this." Lin Xi flipped her hand like a magician and produced a small flower hairpin. "With this, I can find you no matter where you are."
Miyano Shiho's eyes narrowed as she watched Lin Xi put the hairpin on her head: "This style is too childish... Also, did you install a tracking device in it?"
"No," Lin Xi said honestly, "I didn't install a locator in it."
Things like positioning can be done directly by the system. Is there any need for technology?
Since she had already found Haibara Ai in 2005, she would not get lost again.
Originally, going back five years ago and perfecting the plot made her feel like a corporate slave working for the system. After finding Haibara Ai, she felt that there was no difference between five years ago and five years later. Anyway, she could find a place to stay anywhere.
If I have to describe it accurately, it is the feeling that I used to be on a business trip far away, but now I go home and the commute from the company to home only takes 5 minutes.
That’s great…
"Let's go home, Shiho?" Lin Xi raised his head slightly and said with a smile.
Miyano Shiho was stunned.
At a certain moment, the face of the girl in front of him overlapped with his sister's face.
Strange, why does this feeling come about?
She shook her head, turned her head and responded slightly uncomfortably.
"Um."
.
Shiho Miyano's apartment is not far from the organization's drug research institute.
After reaching the door, she turned to Lin Xi: "You..."
Oh no, what should I do with this guy?
In the past, those black-clad bodyguards always found a place to live on their own, such as across from her apartment...to make it easier to monitor her.
But the experimental subjects who just came out of the laboratory... don’t have money to rent a house, right?
The girl in front of her tilted her head and looked at her with innocent eyes.
Miyano Shiho: ...Forget it.
"Come in," she said. "We're going to buy groceries this weekend. You can use my..."
"Can't it be tomorrow?" Lin Xi asked doubtfully.
The weekend is a great time, and she has already made plans to go out and play.
Miyano Shiho looked at her speechlessly, "Do you think I don't have to work? I only have one day off a week. Normally, it's a workday, and I can't go out casually."
Lin Xi laughed guiltily and turned his head to the side.
Which company is so inhumane that it employs child laborers and only gives them one day off a week?
Oh, it’s her own company, that’s fine.
No, how could drug research be more important than going out for fun? She was going to use her privileges!
"The bathroom is over there, and the clothes drying rack is on the balcony. You can sleep on the sofa in the living room. I'll buy you a crib on the weekend... Hey, stop playing with your phone. It's really bad for your eyes!"
Miyano Shiho arranged everything in an orderly manner, not like a 12-year-old child at all.
Lin Xi put down her phone, sat on the sofa and nodded obediently.
She had a strange feeling, as if her and Xiao Ai's roles had been reversed. In the past, she had always been the one to arrange Xiao Ai's affairs, but now it was Xiao Ai's turn to arrange hers.
This feeling made her feel very relaxed, like curling up in a warm bed in winter, or soaking in a hot spring filled with steam. The comfort was so great that she almost fell asleep.
After Miyano Shiho finished speaking, she frowned and felt her cell phone vibrate in her pocket.
She pulled out her phone and glanced at the screen—it was her direct supervisor in the research department.
Damn it, work is still chasing her.
She answered the phone expressionlessly, but her expression gradually became strange as she listened to her boss's words.
Holiday? Really?
She has been in the organization for so long and has never been given a vacation.
Subsidy? What is this?
What subsidy is a big villa? Seriously?
996 changed to starting work at 8:30 am and leaving work at 12 pm? And work four days and rest three days?
After listening to her boss's arrangements, she was silent for a while and asked a question in a serious tone:
“Is our organization going to collapse?”
So do some good deeds before going bankrupt?
.
It is impossible to go bankrupt.
The reason why Miyano Shiho's boss changed his attitude 180 degrees just now was because Lin Xi abused his power a little and talked to the head of the department at the research base.
Of course not in the name of BOSS, but in the name of Punch.
Power is something that is meant to be abused.
Lin Xi lay on the sofa, and in a trance she felt like she was back to the night when she had just picked up Xiao Ai.
At that time, I didn't even fully understand the function of the system, but I had the courage to change the plot and save a child who was a complete stranger to me at that time. Maybe it was also due to the panic and desperation brought about by being in a foreign country and never being able to go back.
After upgrading the perception skill, the senses become sharper, especially in a dark and quiet environment with the lights off, the slightest noise coming from the room is particularly noticeable.
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally got up.
She knocked on the door gently.
"Shiho?"
A low response came from inside the door.
Lin Xi opened the door and saw Miyano Shiho turning on the bedside lamp and sitting at the head of the bed with her knees hugged.
"Can't sleep?"
Miyano Shiho turned her head and looked at Lin Xi.
The lamp on the bedside table emitted a warm light, casting a soft halo on the girl's face.
She nodded.
So Lin Xi smiled, sat on the edge of her bed, and asked, "Do you want to hear a story?"
Miyano Shiho turned her face away, feeling unhappy again for some reason:
"I'm not a child. I don't need fairy tales to fall asleep."
"Well, I know you're not a child." Lin Xi's voice was soft. Although she said she wasn't a child, she couldn't help but use a coaxing tone. "It's about... a little rabbit."
Miyano Shiho thought, ah, this opening sounds like a fairy tale.
I told you no more fairy tales.
But she seems to have never even heard of fairy tales... No, her sister should have told her some, but that was when she was very young...
"The little rabbit is snow-white, round and adorable. It is a very happy little rabbit because both its father and mother love it very much."
"The little rabbit grew up under the care of its father and mother, went to school and played with other little rabbits. It also had many worries that rabbits have, such as the worry of its own white hair getting all over the house during shedding season."
"But the little rabbit's troubles are always short-lived, often quickly forgotten. He calls himself the jumping champion of the rabbit world and is confident that no trouble can catch up with him. Moreover, he is not a well-behaved little rabbit. He enjoys taking risks and is always getting into trouble, which always gives his father and mother a headache."
"One day, the little rabbit was walking home from school as usual when he suddenly saw a colorful butterfly dancing lightly. The little rabbit was immediately attracted by it."
"It hopped and hopped after the butterfly, gradually deviating from the direction of home, and completely forgot the instructions from Rabbit Father and Rabbit Mother to go home early."
"The little rabbit was completely captivated by the beautiful butterflies, flying up and down in front of it. It didn't notice the big hole beneath its feet. It missed a step and fell into the bottomless hole, screaming in fear."
Lin Xi paused deliberately at this point, and Miyano Shiho couldn't help but ask:
"Then what?"
Damn, even though it’s a fairy tale, I still want to know what happens to the little rabbit.
This is the curiosity that all human beings have, and it is definitely not because she is a child!
