death of hope

Chapter 926: "Psychic Storm" (4) Fortune Comes

The sheriff and the mounted policeman were obviously old acquaintances, and they put their arms around each other's shoulders and chatted happily:
"Hey, man, how's it going at the headquarters?"

"It's still the same as before, busy all day, just going out for a walk to get some fresh air."

"Really? It's better to stay in the branch office, where you can relax easily. But there's no hope for promotion."

"What are you thinking? Opportunities for promotion are reserved for people with connections. There's no chance for us."

"Indeed, hahaha, it's been a while since we two brothers got together, let's go find a place to have a drink~"

The sheriff and the mounted policeman chatted and left the house, slamming the door.
The homeless man was left alone, sulking in the interrogation room, staring at the bare wall with resentful eyes and muttering to himself;

"Damn it... I really want to punch the sheriff's red nose... what an uneducated guy..."

After a while, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and the visitor knocked on the door very politely and asked:
"Knock, knock, excuse me~"

The tramp felt a little strange. For a beggar like him who had nothing and an arrested suspect, the other party's attitude seemed too kind.

"Uh... come in..."

·
The door was pushed open, and a strange old man in a white coat and high-power myopic glasses came in.
The top of his head was bald and shiny, with only two stubborn tufts of gray hair left by his ears.

This old man looks like a 'mad scientist' type character in a movie.
He exudes the pedantic air of an old-school intellectual, and seems to be completely out of touch with social trends.

Behind the old man were two burly men in suits and leather shoes, who were obviously martial artists. They were chewing gum and looking the homeless man up and down with vigilant eyes, as if they were assessing his threat level.

"Hello, let me introduce myself~
Dr. Joseph HF Dann, expert in psychic science, director of the Psychic Research Institute of the New Sapporo Development Zone, everyone I know calls me Old Joe~"

The old man smiled and stretched out his hand, showing no contempt or disdain, at least on the surface.

The homeless man felt warm in his heart, and felt the long-lost respect. He thought:

(A slovenly gentleman, there are still decent people in this city, and they deserve my polite response.)
The tramp bowed and shook hands with the old man:

"Hello, I am an exile from the planet Ix; Leon Vilnius."

The old man adjusted his glasses and looked at the dirty beggar across from him curiously:
"Just now in the corridor, Sheriff Tanaka told me roughly about your past. Mr. Leon, are you really the illegitimate son of the Earl's sister?"

·
The homeless man was so angry that his neck turned red, and his good impression of the old man disappeared instantly:
"Mr. Joseph, please don't listen to that guy's nonsense. When he failed to make a false accusation, he slandered my background.
I have never told anyone about my past, and I don’t want anyone to speculate about it.”

"I'm sorry, I work in the research institute all day, I have low emotional intelligence and I'm not very good at speaking." The old man raised his eyebrows and said:

"I respect your privacy and won't talk about this anymore."

"Thanks…

Excuse me...Do you know what those cops are going to do to me?"

"Sheriff Tanaka said he wants to take you to the detention center."

"Why? What's the reason?"

"Assisting a fugitive and eating a free meal."

"What the hell?! I don't even know the fugitive! She ate all those fast foods!

I caught her and prevented her from escaping through the back door. Otherwise, how could those fat cops who couldn't walk catch that nimble little Eldar kid who was as agile as a cat!" "Hahaha, you're right. The grassroots sheriffs in New Sapporo are all useless people who just want to eat and wait for death. Their legs tremble when they see the gangsters. They really can't catch him."

·
Dr. Joseph smiled, and his expression gradually became serious:

"To be honest, the reason I came here is because I saw the surveillance video of McDonald's."

"Then you must know that I am innocent! It was those cops who deliberately framed me!"

"I'm sorry, young man, that's not my focus. May I ask if you have ever come into contact with a person with psychic gifts in the past?"

"Ah?" Li Ang was stunned: "Why are you asking this?"

"In the surveillance video, I saw you easily lock up that kid with your joint lock technique.

More importantly, you are not like those useless cops in New Sapporo and the useless security guards I hired, who mistook psychic powers for sorcery and got scared out of their wits. "

When that kid used his psychic talent and caused abnormal voltage in the restaurant, you remained calm and composed.

You seem to have considerable experience in combating those with psychic gifts. I'd like to know the reason.

The tramp shook his head after hearing this. He didn't want to talk about his past.

But then he thought again, he must grab this life-saving straw, otherwise what awaits him is detention and prosecution, and he might even end up in jail and doing hard labor.

In the face of the suffering of reality, dignity can only be put aside, and I can only confess reluctantly:

"I received aristocratic education from the Vilnius family since I was young. Not only did I take cultural and art classes, but I also learned Ix military fighting techniques and simulated battles with the robot Ai. My skills are definitely better than those of ordinary people."

"Oh, I see..." Dr. Joseph nodded continuously, motioning him to continue.

"As the colony with the strongest industrial capacity in the Terra Federation, Ix is inevitably targeted by the enemies of humanity.
The cargo ships that took off from the planet Ix were often harassed and plundered by the pirate ships sent by the Enchantress Pirate Queen.
During the years when pirates were most rampant, even interstellar airliners, armed merchant ships, and even warships were not spared. We must learn to protect ourselves and fight against the Eldar pirates who came to board and had powerful psychic talents.

So, in my opinion, that little Eldar is not scary at all."

·
"Great, professional match!" Dr. Joseph listened carefully, rubbed his hands excitedly, and his old face was full of wrinkles:

"My research institute is in need of talents like Mr. Li Ang! Please come to my office to discuss in detail! You will definitely not be disappointed with the treatment!"

(What?! This old man wants to hire me? Give me a job?! I must be dreaming!)

After wandering in this strange city for a month, I suffered from bad luck, cold eyes and discrimination, and the torture of winter.
Leon Vilnius, who had lost hope for the future, finally had a turn of events. It was not easy at all. Thinking of all the grievances he had suffered before, he couldn't help but shed tears.

He instinctively grasped this life-saving straw, and was so excited that he almost knelt down to the old man:
"Doctor, I am willing to accept any kind of work, no matter how hard or tiring it is, as long as you help me get out of this damn place."

"Leave it to me. Don't be fooled by my appearance. I still have some influence in this local area~"

Dr. Joseph waved his hand and gave orders to the two strong men behind him:
“You, go to the police station office and pay the full bail for this gentleman.

You, contact the legal team to help Mr. Li Ang get rid of his illegal immigration status and help him get a temporary residence permit. "

Happiness came so suddenly that Leon Vilnius was somewhat confused and at a loss:
"Oh my God... I... I really... don't know how to repay you..."

"Just work hard~" Dr. Joseph shook hands with him again:

"Our car is waiting downstairs. After we finish the bail formalities, we'll go to the restaurant and have a meal."
