Chapter 175 Determining the Third Party Power

"Hello, how can I help you?"

The staff member sitting at the window saw someone coming and immediately opened his mouth to ask, because he wanted to make friends with a person with superpowers and not offend him.

"I want to rent a few houses. Are there any vacant rooms that I can choose from?" Yan Mo wore a pair of sunglasses, covering most of his appearance.

"Yes, you can choose here. The green icon on the screen means that the room is occupied, and the gray icon means that no one is staying. You can choose."

"Oh? What does the yellow icon mean?"

"If it's yellow, it means the house has been rented out, but the owner hasn't been back for more than a week. We will help change it back to yellow. If they haven't been back for two weeks, the house will turn gray again, which means they are in trouble."

The staff behind the window slapped their heads and quickly explained.

"Yeah, okay, thank you for your help." Yan Mo nodded in understanding and quickly browsed the situation of the room above.

The staff at the window was obviously not on guard against Yan Mo. What he showed him was the main system page, on which he could see the usage status of each room in each single apartment, which made it very convenient for him to collect information.

Yan Mo pretended to have a few words with Shu Xin beside him from time to time, discussing the location and orientation of the house and making a selection.

It only took Yan Mo fifteen minutes to check the status of all the rooms and he gave Shu Xin a wink.

"Honey, I think the houses we just jumped into are all good. I'm so confused and don't know which one to choose. Let's go back and think about it carefully. This is related to our future living environment at the base~"

With just one look, Shu Xin knew it was her turn to perform, and she hugged Yan Mo's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Yan Mo looked like a tyrant who was completely fascinated by the beauty. "Let's go back and think about it. We'll come back when my baby decides which apartment he wants to rent."

"Okay, take care."

Yan Mo held Shu Xin's waist and walked out of the single apartment building slowly. The person following behind them couldn't wait to walk to the window to ask the staff what they had said just now.

After a day of covert investigation, both groups gained something.

"Xiang Wen, can you first tell me what you have learned?"

"Today I mingled with the scattered teams and heard a lot of gossip and rumors about the base from them, as well as some recent events in the base."

Perhaps knowing that he would have a lot to say later, Xiangwen poured a full cup of water into his water cup in advance.

"I summarized the information that sounded useful. There are roughly a few points. First, there were rumors that the institute was using living people for experiments. The matter caused quite a stir. Later, people from the institute came out to respond positively to refute the rumors, and the matter was gradually settled."

"Second, in the past six months, many esper users who went out on missions in the base have been killed or missing. Most of the casualties were from small teams with weak strength in the base."

"Third, among the esper who went missing in the past week, two or three of them have reached the intermediate level of the third level. However, since they were from different teams, no one connected their disappearances together. Moreover, they all disappeared under the noses of their teammates while they were out on missions."

He told all the information he had heard in one breath, and Xiangwen's expression was not very good.

"Then let me tell you about what I gained today. Xinbao and I went to the single apartments in the base and looked at the current occupancy rate of all the single apartments in the base. The occupancy rate is as high as 80%. Five percent of the psychics have not returned for more than a week." Yan Mo rubbed his brows.

"Five percent?! I remember that single apartments in H City can accommodate quite a few people, so five percent must be at least dozens of people, right?!" Shu Xin, who was combing Xiao Bai's hair, raised her head in surprise. "Combined with what Xiang Wen just said, how could no one have noticed that so many people were missing from the base?"

"The people who did it must be very familiar with the situation in the base. They are all people who have little presence in the base and don't have many good connections. They will not attract too much attention if they disappear. This is their cleverness."

Makimai had done similar things many times before and was very familiar with this routine.

"But we have never been to H City before, why are they targeting us?" Shu Xin was puzzled.

"It should be that Yan Que and the institute have reached some kind of agreement, so they are targeting us. Now that we know their purpose, we can strike back." A trace of cold murderous intent flashed across Yan Mo's eyes. "Since he wants to sell us to the institute, why not send him in to experience the feeling of being dissected and subjected to various experiments himself."
