It's just that the villa looks a bit old, and the wooden fence around it is covered with vines.
"This is the building I lived in before. Do you want to go in and have a look?"
With that said, Shen Tian stepped forward and prepared to open the fence door.
Lin Xi stopped her in a hurry: "Wait a minute, how much does this house cost per month?"
"It costs about 5 to [-] yuan a month...but I can also give it to you for free."
After hearing this, Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat.
Although the squad leader has given her so many things, giving her a house or something is obviously too outrageous. Giving it to herself for free is basically a waste of money.Since Shen Tian said there would be no need for money, there must be some additional conditions.
As expected, Shen Tian paused for a moment, and then said: "This house can be given to you for free. As long as you don't resell it or sublet it to people you don't know, you can do whatever you want. But I have one condition -"
"What conditions?"
Seemingly having made up his mind, Shen Tian turned around, closed his eyes, and said very seriously: "I hope to get in touch with the organization you belong to that manages these superpowers."
This condition was beyond Lin Xi's expectation. She tilted her head, a little puzzled: "Why do you know there is such an organization?"
"I heard my dad say it before, but I didn't take it seriously at that time... Anyway, I hope to have some relationship with that organization. Can Lin Xi help me?"
Shen Tian's expression was serious and he added: "Even if you fail, I will give you this house."
Lin Xi didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only sigh helplessly.
"...can I ask why?"
Shen Tian thought for a moment and then slowly said: "My father disappeared half a year ago."
"Shouldn't you call the police if you go missing?"
"Of course I have looked for it, but to no avail. The investigation has not yielded any results." At this point, Shen Tian's expression dimmed suddenly, "The excuse given by the police was that there were no clues at all.
"Originally, I had given up, but you also saw what happened yesterday. Since superpowers exist in this world, could my dad have been... kidnapped by a superpower?
"According to my observation, Lin Xi, the organization you are in should be an official government agency, and it is not open to the public, right? Then could it be that my father was kidnapped by a person with super powers, but he was unable to make it public? Superpower related matters and you can’t tell me? I want to confirm this.”
After listening to Shen Tian's description, Lin Xi fell into deep thought.
Although what she said was true, after being missing for half a year, it was unlikely that he would still be intact... It was more likely that Shen Tian's father was no longer alive.
"Please, I really want to know what's going on!"
Shen Tian's tone was so sincere that Lin Xi really couldn't think of refusing.
But the problem is, she can’t make the decision herself!
You have to ask Higgs about this.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi did not agree immediately, but said: "I will find a way to help you ask, but I can't guarantee success."
The girl in front of her suddenly brightened her eyes, "Really! Thank you so much!"
In order not to let her have too high expectations, Lin Xi poured some cold water on her: "Don't be too happy too early. I'm not a big shot in that organization. I can only ask other people for help. The success rate is really high." If you don’t go high, I hope you can be mentally prepared.”
But even so, Shen Tian still nodded happily and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as you can help me, Lin Xi, I'll be happy."
After saying that, she took out something like a card from her bag and handed it over.
Lin Xi took the card and looked at it in his hand.
This is a card with mainly black color, gold patterns and a small hole on it.
The small hole seems to be used to pass the strap through.
"this is?"
"It's the key card. From now on, this house will be yours."
"Eh? Just give it to me like this!?"
"Well, it's already agreed." Shen Tian nodded and continued, "It's been more than a year since I've cleaned it, so it's probably a little dirty, but the basic furniture inside is still very complete. I just need to clean it and buy some daily necessities. Now that you've moved in, I'll call an hourly worker for you later."
Lin Xi thought for a while and agreed: "Yes, but I will pay for the hourly work."
After all, the house was provided for free, and it was just the money of a part-time worker. Lin Xi was really embarrassed to let others give it to him.
Shen Tian also understood Lin Xi's intention, smiled slightly, and replied: "I know."
Next, Shen Tian took Lin Xi into the villa to take a look at the situation of the house.
Like the exterior, the interior decoration is also in a luxurious American style. Although it has a bit of a sense of age, it still looks no less than the one where Shen Tian lives now. It's just a different style.
The first floor has a living room, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and study room, and the second floor has four bedrooms, two small and two large. Even the small one is bigger than Lin Xi's original small shabby room.
The rooms are more than twice the size, and each room has its own toilet and bathroom. The large bedrooms also have a terrace.
Crucially, there is a basement, accessed from a wide ramp on the outside grounds.
Although Lin Xi does not have a car, this basement can be used as a cargo warehouse!
And compared to the manor-like villa that Shen Tian lives in now, this villa is closer to the outer fence, making it much easier to move things.
Overall, it still meets Lin Xi's requirements.
The most important thing is that it doesn’t cost any money.
However, she is still very clear about the truth that eating people is soft-spoken and taking advantage of others is short-handed. She also wants to solve what people say as soon as possible.
After looking at the house, Shen Tian asked his secretary to call four hourly workers and start cleaning. Lin Xi went back to the temporary room, sat back on the bed, took out his mobile phone, and opened the Higgs Connect APP.
What should I say?
Chapter 144 The person who disappeared out of thin air
After thinking for a while, Lin Xi decided to tell Xia Yunyi truthfully about Shen Tian's request.
After all, even if it is a secret department, she has already come into contact with the world of the Chosen One by accident, so there is little point in keeping her a secret.
After a while, Xia Yunyi responded to the message.
"Xia Yunyi": "So your monitor just wants to know where her father is, right?"
"Lin Xi": "Yes, Sister Xia, can you help me ask?"
"Xia Yunyi": "There is no need to ask. This matter was quite famous here at the beginning. At that time, we also deployed a large number of manpower to investigate, but in the end it was nothing. It was really not for the sake of keeping it secret. There was no reason for not telling her the truth, but what I told her was already the truth."
"Xia Yunyi": "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Lin Xi": "In other words, her father is indeed missing, and you can't find any clues?"
"Xia Yunyi": "That's it."
"Xia Yunyi": "Actually, we still haven't given up the investigation, but we really haven't found any clues. It's like the person disappeared out of thin air from this world."
"Xia Yunyi": "And at that time, the existence of the Liming organization was still a question, and we couldn't simply put the blame on Liming."
"Lin Xi": "...I know, I'll find a way to explain it to her."
"Xia Yunyi": "And are you sure you are moving? I will move my manpower from your home to your new home."
Although it was probably difficult to return to her original home in the future, Lin Xi thought twice and asked Xia Yunyi to leave at least one person to keep an eye on her original home.
She simply cut out a few important parts of the chat record and sent it to Shen Tian.
Although this result is very unsatisfactory, Lin Xi can only do this now.
If I go to Yi Guo Duan Liming in the future, I can help with the investigation, but that is also a matter for the future.
……
Such a large villa has not been occupied for more than a year. It will obviously take most of the day to clean it all. During this period, Lin Xi plans to go to the supermarket.
After all, the main reason why I want to buy a big house is to improve the lives of my employees.
The second floor of the small shabby shop was really too shabby, and Lin Xi couldn't bear it. Moreover, if he was given another place to live, he could free up the second floor and use it as a store.
As for safety issues, she already has a solution.
Lin Xi opened the dimensional link key, selected the expansion and upgrade button, and found the module he needed this time.
[Structure: Force field generation terminal] Generates a force field generation device, which consumes less rabies than using the force field directly and can cover a wider range. However, once it is turned on, the device cannot be moved, otherwise the stability of the force field will decrease. or even fail.Consumption of Rabi: 300N
She also accidentally discovered this thing yesterday. It seems that Noah just obtained it from the repaired data.
As for its function, of course it is used to generate a force field.
According to Noah's explanation, as long as it is placed on the ground, the force field she now has can be generated at a fixed location.
But that being said, Lin Xi actually only has three force field modules, namely "Force Field: Optical Camouflage", "Force Field: Audio Adjustment", and "Force Field: AT Shield α".
The function of this thing is to generate a force field within a certain range just like Lin Xi used the force field himself.
The advantages and disadvantages are also written in the introduction. To put it bluntly, it is a fixed force field generator. As for the range, there is no problem in covering this villa.
Then she only needs to ask Noah to write a parameter that will automatically hide the figures and voices of Huaye and Feina, so people outside the force field will not be able to see them inside the force field.
So as long as you tell them not to go out, there will basically be no problems.
As for the amount of Rabbi consumed, according to Noah's explanation, it is at least much lower than her own force field. The price is that it cannot move, but this is no problem at all for covering the house.

"yes……"
Shen Tian put down the phone, with a look of disappointment on his brows.
Although she had made psychological expectations from the beginning, she still felt frustrated after actually learning that there were no clues about her father's whereabouts.
Since her father suddenly disappeared, everyone in the company has
All kinds of things were pressing on her, and although she was very good, she was still lacking in experience. She hit a wall one after another at the beginning, and she managed to get the company back into operation with the help of her secretary, but her vitality was already severely damaged.
For this reason, she could only fire a large number of unnecessary employees, save expenses, and sell off many assets before the company's cash flow finally returned to health.
Everything is on track.
However, there is still no news about her father.
Shen Tian wanted to show him that she could take care of all this by herself.
But the reality is cruel, and the news I got from Lin Xi didn't have any clues.
--------
Time soon arrived in the evening, and the cleaning work was completed. After Lin Xi checked and accepted it, he asked the hourly workers to leave.
She had also moved her luggage from the temporary room, and various items sold in the supermarket were piled on the floor to one side.
She was the only one left in the huge villa, which was a little deserted.
But it will get lively soon.
"Well, it's six o'clock. It's time to surprise them."
After confirming that the time had reached six o'clock, she was in her room. The dimensional door that had been opened in the closet was connected to the warehouse of the small shop and jumped in.
Ten seconds later, they successfully arrived at the small shabby shop.
"Whoa——!"
Hua Ye's scream suddenly sounded next to him.
Lin Xi turned around and saw that it was a little white-haired fox packing instant noodles.
It seemed like he had to scare her every time he came over.
Bai Huaye stopped what he was doing and muttered: "Boss, why do you show up suddenly every time..."
Lin Xi rubbed Huaye's little head, then pushed open the door to the warehouse with some satisfaction and walked into the store.
At this time, Gradient Flower Night and Black Flower Night were locking the store door and cleaning respectively, while Feina was writing something in a thick book on the counter, seemingly keeping accounts.
As soon as they heard the movement at the warehouse door, the three of them looked over and realized that it was Lin Xi who was coming.
"Good evening, Master Lin Xi, meow."
"Is the boss here to deliver fried chicken?"
"I want fried chicken!"
Lin Xi's face suddenly darkened, and he simply ignored the two fox girls who only knew fried chicken, and said directly: "Feina, how long will it take for you to finish here?"
"It'll be over in a moment. What's wrong with Master Lin Xi?" Feina shook her pink cat ears, curious.
Chapter 145 You are welcome to come to my house to play. When you are tired, just go to bed. No problem.
