Chapter 106 The Current Situation in China's Capital 2

In the evening, the sky was filled with orange-red sunset glow.

The young man with red vertical eyes squatted on the roof, holding up a crystal bead in his hand and aiming it at the setting sun.

The light shines through the white crystal beads, tinging them with an orange-red hue.

This crystal bead was given by an old man to a young man. The old woman, who is already over 80 years old, can no longer remember what her grandson looks like, but she still remembers that her grandson likes to play marbles.

But this grandson and his children have all gone abroad and have a blonde girlfriend, and they won’t be back for a long time.

The lonely old man treated Tong as his own grandson.

"Red is still the best." Tong stared at the crystal bead and said, he lowered his head and looked at the three people in the yard, "Do you think so too?"

Bai Manman was holding a bag in her hand. She had taken a leave of absence and left work early today. She met Si Ze and Quan Li at the door and led them into the yard.

At this time, the old man is watching an evening program on TV. His hearing is not good to begin with, and the loud TV volume will cover up all the sounds outside. More likely, the old man will fall asleep while watching TV.

They were not worried about disturbing the old man.

"Hello, are you Mr. Tong?" Si Cai smiled and took out his police badge to indicate, "I am Si Cai, the director of the Strange Response Department, and this is my subordinate Quan Li. Can I talk to you?"

Tong pinched the crystal bead in his hand, and with a little force, the crystal bead turned into powder in Tong's palm. He tilted his head and looked at Si Zai and the other two. His slightly mocking smile seemed to say, "Why should I listen to you?"

“By the way, I also brought a gift.” Si Zai gestured to his colleague behind him.

Quan Li immediately understood what was going on and opened the bag in his hand, revealing half a pig's hind leg.

Tong immediately jumped down from the roof, staring at the meat in the bag.

I sniffed and smelled a strong smell of blood. The meat must have been slaughtered no more than three hours ago, which is considered very fresh meat in this big city.

"Not bad." Tong came to Si Zai, smelled his scent and said, "Three questions, ask."

Si Zai touched his chin and said, "You can only answer three questions. Okay, then the first question is, how can we get you to join our weird response department?"

Tong had already taken the bag from Quan Li's hand. After hearing his words, he paused, turned his head and stared at Si Zai with wide eyes. His vertical pupils shrank and became even thinner. The corners of the boy's mouth pulled open, revealing sharp teeth.

The murderous intent dissipated slightly.

Bai Manman had already hidden at the back, and the only ones facing him with murderous intent were Si Zai and Quan Li. As a newcomer, Quan Li felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. He felt very uncomfortable all over. His instinct told him that he should escape from here quickly, but years of training allowed him to suppress his instinct with reason, and he stood here enduring the fear.

Si Zai still had a smile on his face and looked very calm: "Don't be angry, this is just a problem."

"I can't possibly join." Tong raised her chin slightly, looking at him with contempt, "You're just a mere human."

"Then there is still hope for cooperation." Si Zai clapped his hands and said, "We will make a deal. I will give you the food you like, and then you will help us solve the problems we can't solve."

"Ha, if the tribute is qualified." Tong said coldly.

Si Zai nodded: "Then, the second question. You all know Bai Yixin, how can you avoid being cheated when trading with that merchant and dealing with strange items and methods?"

"Contract." Tong said, "As long as you sign a contract with Qieyi, it will be binding on both parties and no one can violate it. However, the contract is very solemn and serious. As long as the general transaction does not involve souls, you'd better not sign it casually. It's impossible for that profiteer to sign a lot of contracts. It's very troublesome."

"Okay. One last question." Si Zai pondered for a long time before speaking, "Who is behind the weird live broadcast?"

This question was beyond Tong's expectations, so he froze in surprise for about three seconds, and then Tong showed an impatient expression: "What's the question? I don't know, change another one."

"I don't know...ah." Si Zai smiled. "Well, I didn't expect to get an answer to this question. So, when the weirdness comes, how can we deal with it to minimize the loss?"

Tong bared her teeth: "Do you think I know everything? How can I give you the correct answer to this question?"

"If you want to survive, be alert." Tong added, "Observe more things that are different from usual, and maybe you can survive."

"Okay, I understand." Si Zai asked again, "You will live here from now on, right?"

“This is the fourth question.”

Si Zai smiled and said, "I just want to know how to submit the tribute when I need help in the future."

"Heh, this is my territory." Tong turned to look at Bai Manman who was hiding in the back and pointed at her, "Give it to her."

Bai Manman was suddenly startled when her name was called.

"Okay, I'll remember that." Si Zai said, "Sorry to bother you, see you next time."

After saying that, he followed Quan Li out of the yard.

Bai Manman looked at this and that, and when she saw Tong squinting at her, she was so scared that she quickly chased Si Ze and the others out of the yard and watched them get into the car: "Wait, aren't you going to deal with this?"

"There's no way to deal with it." Si Zai shrugged at Bai Manman and said, "Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to forcibly take him away now, but don't worry, we will have someone nearby to keep an eye on him. If there is any problem... we will do our best to ensure the safety of you and the old man. Of course, if you want to move away, I can also provide help."

"... Let's just forget it." Bai Manman said sadly, "Nothing has happened during this period of time, so... there shouldn't be any problems... right?"

And since Tong has appointed himself as the intermediary, I estimate that I will be targeted even if I move.

"By the way, Miss Bai, are you planning to change jobs?" Si Zai asked, "The clerical work in the strange response department is just short of staff right now. Although it is a non-staff position, the five insurances and one fund are all at the highest level, and the salary is also generous. This is the amount."

Bai Manman was deeply moved.

"Then what is the job?"

Si Zai: "The official website of the Weird Response Department, information editing and input, all of which are text-based work. 9am to 5pm, work 5 days, rest 2 days."

"Oh my god!" Bai Manman raised her hand excitedly.

My current job is to work from 8am to 8pm, with 6 days off and 1 day off. Even with this I often work overtime, but I don't earn much.

It's a great fortune to find such a job in Beijing.

"I need to quit my current job first. If there is time..."

"Just report back within a week." Si Zai was very easygoing. "The department headquarters is at this address. When you come, tell me my name and say I asked you to come."

"Okay, thank you!!" A bright future was beckoning at her, and Bai Manman immediately put Tong's matter behind her.

Si Zai sat in the co-pilot's seat and waved to Bai Manman. Quan Li stepped on the accelerator and the police car drove away.

After he could no longer see Bai Manman in the rearview mirror, Si Zai slowly spoke: "This time the harvest is not small."

"Really?" Quan Li responded while driving, "Knowing the existence of the contract and how to deal with the strange coming, it is a great gain."

"It's not those." Si Zai looked at the scenery flying outside the window, his eyes slightly lowered, "I know that these weirdos who can talk to each other are not only acquainted with each other, but are more likely to be from the same organization."

Quan Li's hand trembled, and the car twisted a little on the spot. Si Zai was so scared that he quickly grabbed the upper right handrail: "Hey, can you drive?"

"I'm sorry. But...how come, why do you think that?"

Si Zai released his hand and said, "So, newbie, learn well. Although I only have three questions, each question contains more than one inquiry."

"Like my second question, it seems to be asking how to trade with Bai Yixin without getting cheated. In fact, my question includes questions like 'all the weirds that can communicate know Bai Yixin', 'items or methods that can be traded with Bai Yixin to deal with weirds', and 'humans can trade items with Bai Yixin'. I took all these as the premise of affirmative answers, and then asked him how to avoid being cheated."

"If any of these premises are wrong, he will definitely deny it." Si Zai said, "Since he didn't deny it, it means he has implicitly acknowledged these things. They all know Bai Yixin, and they can trade with Bai Yixin for weird items or methods. Humans can trade with him."

"But didn't Bai Yixin hint at all this during the live broadcast?"

"You also said it was just a hint." Si Zai said, "We need a more definite answer. If possible, I would like to communicate directly with Bai Yixin, but unfortunately there is no way to find him directly. However, referring to the third question, Tong's answer may also have some doubts."

"The third question is about the 'person behind the weird live broadcast'."

"Yes." Si Zai frowned slightly. "He was startled after hearing my question, even if it was only for about three seconds."

Quan Li: “What does this mean?”

"Combined with his expression at the time, he knew about the person behind the weird live broadcast. Not only did he know, he even knew him. The instinct of that weird pupil is very similar to that of a wild animal. He is not the type to lie or cover up." Si Zai tapped his knees lightly. "Bai Yixin also mentioned the person behind the weird live broadcast during the live broadcast. Unfortunately, Bai Yixin's words were half true and half false, and it was hard to tell."

"The Faceless Child knows Tong. Tong mentioned Bai Yixin. Bai Yixin has a deal with the paper man. By the way, the American Internet said that Bai Yixin was seen on the street before. It seems that he was with Louis who appeared in the live broadcast. The weird person who appeared in the United States and can be talked to is Kailett. Louis is Kailett's contracted slave. Do you think Bai Yixin has a good relationship with Kailett?"

Si Zai's fingers were drawing in the air: "It's like a net. Look, all the weird things we know about communication are inside it. Do you think that crow also knows Bai Yixin?"

"I believe there must be some weirdos who haven't appeared in front of the camera and can talk to them." Si Xie closed his eyes. "Weird live broadcast, weirdos who can communicate, they all know each other, and one of them must appear in every live broadcast. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

"I always feel that there is a mastermind behind the scenes, hiding in the background, quietly pushing everything." Si Zai opened his eyes, and his black pupils seemed to be glowing. "What do you think their purpose is?"

"Um...warn us?"

Si Zai laughed out loud: "Warning us about the coming of the end of the world? So kind? You have a good idea, very imaginative."

"Hahaha, warn us..."

"ha……"

The smile on Si Zai's face gradually faded, and then he whispered with an expression of disbelief: "Impossible."
