Cheng Sheng finally calmed down the person on the other end of the phone, and after hanging up, he impatiently took off his headset.
However, when she turned her head and saw the newcomer next to her, her gossipy nature was already aroused.
"Hey sis! I heard you got special admission? You fought against someone from the military region? How good was that guy?"
Lin Xi paused as she was about to put on the headset, then stared at the ceiling and thought for a moment.
However, she wasn't thinking about Yue Chi's actual strength, but rather how to avoid Cheng Sheng discovering her disguise.
Before coming here, she had originally decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore everyone else.
But this would only make it too conspicuous, like Yuechi.
Thinking of this, she cleared her throat.
I'm getting ready to create a completely different persona for myself.
“The military region! The people in the military region are awesome.” Her expression was very vivid.
This left Cheng Sheng completely stunned, successfully piquing her curiosity.
She widened her eyes and moved closer, "Really? How amazing is it?"
She's always had this expression while eating melons, and she hasn't changed it yet.
"You've even made it into the military region, what do you think?" Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, a smug look on her face. "But, in my hands, that's about it. So, in the end, I'm still the more capable one."
But in reality, Lin Xi's toes had already started working on the ground.
Oh my god, how embarrassing!
This kind of character design seems pretty silly, doesn't it?
It doesn't matter, as long as Cheng Sheng realizes that there's something wrong with him, he will naturally reduce his conversations with her.
Cheng Sheng opened his mouth wide again in an exaggerated manner, seemingly impressed by her confident demeanor.
Cheng Sheng didn't think she was exaggerating at all. "Wow! I heard from Sister Ge that you beat someone in seconds! That's really amazing!"
"ah?"
ah?
Lin Xi was stunned.
Sister, are you serious?
Shouldn't we feel disgusted when we see someone who boasts about themselves like this?
Your reaction is wrong!
Lin Xi fell silent, carefully recalling which step she had gone wrong.
After thinking it over, she finally concluded that the reason Cheng Sheng found her self-praise so reasonable was because it really was that reasonable.
Objectively speaking, I am indeed very capable.
Even if Yun and Jiang Chuan were combined, they wouldn't be a match for him.
That's why Cheng Sheng found Cheng Sheng's dramatic words, which he had been pondering for a long time, to be very reasonable.
Goodness.
She's been reviewing the events in her mind all the time.
During this time, Cheng Sheng's voice never stopped in my ears.
Lin Xi stopped thinking.
Looking at Cheng Sheng with a serious expression, she reminded him, "Your phone is ringing."
Cheng Sheng then noticed that the screen on the landline was flashing, indicating that a number was calling in.
We're doomed!
It's all my fault for this damned curiosity!
She hurriedly put on her headset and answered the call, "Hello..."
Lin Xi's tense nerves finally relaxed.
However, a voice slowly sounded in his ear, "Young man, it's better to keep a low profile."
The middle-aged man next to me is scrolling through his phone... slacking off?
The middle-aged man looked over and said, "What are you looking at? Get back to work and stop bragging."
Lin Xi swallowed hard.
The man had a buzz cut, and a section of his tattoo was visible on his wrist through his shirt.
Good heavens! Is this the senior colleague that Xiao Ge arranged for her to familiarize herself with the business?
"Oh, okay."
"Hello, is this the city guard? My child bumped his head on the corner of a table!"
Lin Xi didn't react for a moment. "Hello, ma'am, could you repeat your question?"
"I said, my child bumped into a table leg! What's wrong with your ears? Do I have to repeat myself?"
Lin Xi wasn't quite sure. "Ma'am, you should see a doctor for this kind of thing."
"Didn't the city guard claim that their duty was to protect the safety of all residents of Worry-Free Island? Doesn't my child count as a resident?"
Lin Xi: ...
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. We suggest you first cut off the corner of the table that bumped into your child."
Lin Xi hung up decisively.
What kind of demons and monsters are these?
Do the city guards even have to handle such trivial matters?
The child got hurt and they didn't even treat the wound first; they actually called the city security team!
Are you sick in the head?
Was her child really not stolen?
The next few phone calls were even more outrageous.
For example, if someone feels their hair has gotten shorter, they might ask the city guards to send someone to investigate if someone is maliciously following them and retaliating against them by secretly cutting their hair.
It turned out that the old man was over 70 years old and had a bad memory. He had gotten a haircut a couple of days ago and had forgotten about it!
There was another guy who cried and said his girlfriend didn't want him anymore. When she loved him, she called him "baby," but when she didn't love him anymore, she would turn on him and call him an ugly thing!
His request was actually for the city guards to send someone to argue with his girlfriend?
Is the city guard's business really that extensive?
Two days later, Lin Xi felt that her resentment was almost solidifying into a physical form.
It's about to become the kind of thing that wreaks havoc on the world.
Lin Xi glanced at the clock on the wall every 30 seconds.
Then you wonder to yourself, why does time pass so slowly?
Cheng Sheng was enjoying herself, but every time she hung up the phone, she would hold her stomach and bury her head on the table to suppress her laughter.
"This is outrageous! Good heavens, I've lived this long and I've never heard of so many outrageous things, hahaha."
Seeing Lin Xi's pale face, she comforted her, "Don't be like this, just think of it as watching a comedy show, it's hilarious, okay?"
Lin Xi sighed, "It's okay, Xiao Ge said I can go patrolling the streets today."
The phone screen started flashing again.
She really didn't understand why the uncle next door was so relaxed when they were both on the same line.
He only answered the phone about once every ten minutes.
Lin Xi couldn't help but glance at his desk, and unsurprisingly, the screen of his landline phone was also flashing.
However, the uncle acted as if he didn't see it and continued scrolling through his phone.
Good heavens! You can do that?
He's definitely a senior!
That's a superior move.
After that day, Lin Xi went on patrol and surprisingly ended up in a group with Cheng Sheng.
Are the two of them glued together?
Never mind, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, the persona she created for herself is completely different from her previous personality.
As long as Cheng Sheng doesn't recognize him, being in the same group is fine.
Sure enough, patrolling the streets was much easier than being a switchboard operator.
At least you won't have all sorts of bizarre things forcibly bombarding your ears, poisoning your mind and tormenting your body anymore.
The people on the street are all quite law-abiding.
Even when faced with zombies coming and going, they can control themselves and walk on the street without much difference from normal people.
If humans and zombies can coexist in the future, this model would actually be quite good.
"Hey, I have two friends in the next district. They messaged me, so we can meet up. Want to come along?"
