Cultivation in the city

Chapter 38 Negotiations

What is it like to be caught by your parents when you do something bad?

After being at a loss, it is probably endless embarrassment.

Duan Xiaolou suddenly thought of the last time when Zhong Chu mentioned that he was caught watching TV secretly at home and was caught by his parents. Zhong Chu said that he really wished there was a hole in the ground that he could drill into, but Duan Xiaolou said that he did not understand.

Isn't it just watching TV?Isn't it just watching TV secretly and getting caught?What's the big deal?

But now, Duan Xiaolou has experienced that feeling...

"I, I'm thirsty, get up and drink some water." Duan Xiaolou stammered and explained.

"Have you come here to drink water?" Chen Yan looked particularly permeable with a smile on his face.

"I, I couldn't fall asleep after drinking water, so I came to have a look." Duan Xiaolou forcefully argued.

To Duan Xiaolou's surprise, Chen Yan didn't continue to argue with him, but hugged him, and rubbed Duan Xiaolou's slightly messy hair with the other hand, saying: "Fool! ,go to bed now."

When Duan Xiaolou was brought back to the room by Chen Yan, he was still in a state of ignorance.It's like a child who has just made trouble, and was already prepared to be scolded, but was led to the table by his parents to drink a bowl of hot soup.

This is simply unscientific!

However, regardless of whether the science is scientific or not, Chen Yan didn't mean to criticize him. Apart from suddenly appearing in the laboratory to scare Duan Xiaolou, he didn't do anything else.

Tucked Duan Xiaolou into the quilt, and gently tucked the corners of the quilt, said good night, and then... nothing more...

Duan Xiaolou went from panic at the beginning to worry later, and at the end, he suddenly felt a trace of guilt.

He felt that he was a little messed up, obviously nothing major happened tonight, but he seemed to have experienced a lot.Duan Xiaolou thought wildly, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

At this time, Chen Yan, who seemed to have fallen asleep for a long time, suddenly stood up, touched Duan Xiaolou's face with a little baby fat, and there was a soft "humming" sound as expected.

Chen Yan smiled lightly, and lay back on the bed again.

The result of sneaking up to do experiments at night was that even though Chen Yan kept waking him up, he could always fall asleep immediately after closing his eyes for three seconds.

Chen Yan looked helplessly at Duan Xiaolou who was limp on the bed, and in the end he could only treat him as a doll and help him wash his face and dress him.

Duan Xiaolou was eating breakfast in a half-dream and half-awake state, and everything around him was the same as usual: Dad Duan was drinking soy milk while reading the newspaper, the eldest brother was eating noodles in a gentle manner, the younger brother was sitting quietly eating fried eggs, And the mother who kept whispering to Chen Yan...

Huh, it seems that something is wrong.

Duan Xiaolou looked everyone around again.

Dad is normal, elder brother is still so handsome, younger brother is still arrogant and cute, mother...why does mother always wink with Chen Yan?

Duan Xiaolou's brain that had been in chaos until this moment finally came to his senses.

It turned out that not only Chen Yan was aware of his actions, but even Duan's mother also noticed that he got up at night to do experiments?Or did Chen Yan tell Mama Duan about his secret experiment?

Because of these speculations, Duan Xiaolou's mood has been very low.

Before going out, Duan's mother touched his forehead worriedly and asked him if he was not feeling well. Grandma Duan also helped him, asking him to ask for leave and not go to school if he felt uncomfortable.Duan Xiaolou felt a little better.

He didn't know what he was worrying about, or he was just feeling guilty.

Deng Feng did not expect that it was not Duan Xiaolou but Chen Yan who came to the door first.

When she saw Chen Yan standing outside the door with a calm face through the cat's eyes, Deng Feng had a bad feeling that "the bad premonition really came true".

Thinking of Captain Zeng's explanation, she hesitated for a long time between opening the door or not, and finally decided to open the door and welcome Chen Yan into the house.

After Chen Yan came in, he was not polite, he found a comfortable place to sit down, and said to Deng Feng like a master: "You can do whatever you want, don't worry about me."

Deng Feng: ...This seems to be my home, right?

"Why are you here?" Deng Feng asked straight to the point.

Don't think it's because she has a straightforward personality and speaks straightforwardly. This way of asking questions is just their usual routine.

"I want to know why you are monitoring Duan Xiaolou." She was straightforward, and Chen Yan was more straightforward than her.

Deng Feng felt a "thump" in his heart, with a feeling of "as expected, he was discovered".

"Most people in this world are ordinary people, whether their intelligence or physical fitness fluctuates above and below the average level, but there is a class of people who, for some special reasons, have abilities beyond ordinary people, and we will have this ability People who are called 'supernatural beings'.

"Supernatural beings can be divided into innate and acquired, but this distinction does not define the strength of abilities. Currently, our method of judging the strength of supernatural beings is to make a comprehensive judgment based on the specific abilities and energy fluctuations of supernatural beings."

She didn't refute "I didn't do that", nor did she immediately explain why she did it, but talked about "supernatural powers" and "supernatural beings".

Chen Yan didn't interrupt her, but put on an attitude of listening attentively and signaled her to continue.

Deng Feng sighed in her heart. Although she had known from her colleagues that Chen Yan was not easy to deal with, she didn't realize that her colleague's evaluation was too conservative until now when they actually confronted each other.

Chen Yan's attitude is always calm and calm. Such a person will not be influenced by emotions when analyzing problems, so no matter what she says, the other party will only analyze according to her own thinking, and will never be led astray.

Of course, what made her feel even more frightening was the extremely powerful aura faintly emanating from the other party.

Didn't it mean that Chen Yan didn't have any energy fluctuations?How could such an obvious sense of oppression come from an ordinary person?Are all the inspectors eating dry food?While Deng Feng quietly operated his supernatural powers to resist the pressure, he complained frantically in his heart.

However, she really misunderstood the inspectors.

Although Chen Yan's core is red lotus karma, the skin wrapped outside is a real human shell.Although Tianhuo's transformation of his body was great, it was completed subtly. This is like refining a piece of iron ore with fire. All impurities are removed, and what is condensed is still iron. It doesn't work at all.Furthermore, in order to prevent his body from collapsing, most of his power was stored in the necklace, and the necklace was carved with hidden runes by Duan Xiaolou, so no one else could detect it.In addition, he himself is an expert in playing with fire, and his existing abilities are firmly locked in his body without any leakage. Of course, those instruments that simply detect energy cannot detect anything.

In this way, those who followed Chen Yan would naturally not be able to find out what was special about him.

But Deng Feng is different. She herself is a fire attribute user, and she is more sensitive to things related to fire attributes. What's more, Tianhuo has a natural restraint on other flames. Deng Feng felt it in front of Chen Yan. The pressure is not one or two points, and being able to keep calm is already a manifestation of her strong inner quality.

"We inadvertently discovered that Duan Xiaolou and you may be supernatural beings who have just awakened, because Duan Xiaolou is easier to approach, so we focused our observation on him." Deng Feng half-truthfully Said.

"What is the ability of the supernatural person? Can it send out wind blades and fireballs like in the novel?" Chen Yan asked a little bit.

Deng Feng did not expect that Chen Ershao, who has been very calm since entering the door, would actually read novels, but considering his past reputation, such a hobby does not seem difficult to understand.

"There are many types of abilities. What you mentioned are classified as natural abilities, as well as those that strengthen part or all of the body, improve or mutate mental power, or some strange abilities."

"What about the small building? What kind of abilities do you think he has awakened?" Chen Yan changed his calmness just now and asked enthusiastically.

"According to our preliminary observations, it is very likely that Duan Xiaolou has awakened spiritual powers. His sudden increase in intelligence is likely to be a manifestation of the awakening of powers."

Chen Yan could feel that Deng Feng's words were not false, but it was precisely because they were not false that he found them extremely ridiculous.No one knows Duan Xiaolou's situation better than him. People with psychic powers are completely different from Duan Xiaolou.

"Then what? What will you do if you find out that Duan Xiaolou has awakened mental abilities, or he is a person with other abilities?" Chen Yan asked.

"No matter what kind of supernatural person he is, after confirming his identity, we will register his information in the supernatural person file. All the supernatural persons registered in the record will be protected by the supernatural group. Of course, the premise is that you must abide by the terms stipulated in the "Guidebook for Supernatural Beings" and will not destroy social stability. In addition, we will also recruit some powerful supernatural beings, and hope that he can join us, with favorable treatment and generous salary !” Deng Feng emphasized the last sentence.

Chen Yan chuckled and said, "Letting Xiaolou join the ability group is your focus, right?"

Although knowing that there was irony in Chen Yan's words, Deng Feng still nodded and said: "That's right! Our work tasks are getting more and more heavy, and it is time to inject new forces. What's more, our treatment is really good. Well, there are few constraints, high salary, and allowances, so many people can’t come if they want to come!”

Deng Feng's words are quite true, and not all supernatural beings can enter the supernatural group, and its assessment is relatively strict.

"What if Xiaolou doesn't want to come?"

Chen Yan's smile was even brighter, but Deng Feng felt that the air around him was extremely condensed, because although the other party was smiling, it seemed as if he would swallow her up at any time.

Deng Feng swallowed, and stammered: "This, this is purely voluntary, I, we will not force it. Only, as long as it does not disrupt social order, we will not interfere too much."

Chen Yan seemed satisfied with her answer, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Deng Feng breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, but Chen Yan stopped at the door.

He turned around, and the gentle smile that was still on his face just now was gone. He said with a serious expression: "I understand what you mean, but don't bother him at such a critical time. Whether it is to test whether he has The ability, or discussing his joining the ability group, will be put after mid-July. My child is about to take the college entrance examination, and at such a tense time, we don’t want him to be distracted by other things! Do you understand?"

Deng Feng stood at attention as if accepting a review from a superior leader, and replied loudly: "Understood!"

Chen Yan was probably satisfied with the attitude of the other party, so he nodded, put on a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and left.

However, Deng Feng, who was completely frightened by him and dared not move an inch, felt that he was still in the cold winter.

It wasn't until Chen Yan left completely that Deng Feng breathed a sigh of relief—the god of plague was finally sent away!

The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angels who sprinkled flowers, I haven’t responded to the message recently due to time constraints, but I have seen it~
