Chapter 188 The Entrustment of Xifa (Please Subscribe~)

"Good afternoon, Melissa."

Xifa handed the prepared bouquet to the girl. Out of politeness, Melissa accepted the flowers and thanked her.

"Come in, would you like tea or coffee?"

Walking into the gate, Xifa saw a relatively spacious space, a group of cloth sofas were bathed in the bright sunshine in the afternoon.

Melissa put the flowers into a vase in the corner and looked towards Xifa.

"Black tea is fine." Xifa sat down on the sofa, looked around, and observed the place where Klein once lived, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

When Melissa went to make tea, Xifa looked around habitually, and he found that the room had an open layout, and there was no separation between the dining room and the living room.

The dining room has a small red rectangular wooden table surrounded by upholstered hardwood armchairs and a fireplace.

Is this where Klein dined?

"Mr. Xifa, your black tea."

A familiar voice sounded, and the black-haired girl came to the living room with two cups of tea, and put one of them in front of Xifa.

Xifa picked up the black tea and smiled, "Actually, I came here this afternoon to ask you for a favor."

The girl glanced at him with dim eyes: "What is it?"

"It's like this." Xifa took a sip of black tea, swallowed the fragrant liquid, and continued, "I want to make a container that can store gas. It doesn't need to be big, and it's best to hold it in one hand."

"But storing gas is only one of its functions. I also hope that this container can inhale outside air anytime and anywhere when I need it, so that it can mix with the original gas in the container."

"I think this needs the assistance of some kind of mechanical parts to be able to do it. Just in time, I know from Professor Newman that you seem to be very good at mechanics, so I come to visit you, hoping not to disturb you."

Melissa showed a forced smile, shook her head first, and then said after a little thought: "Perhaps, a mechanical part with a pressure structure can solve your problem."

"What gas do you want to store?"

"hydrogen"

"A gas that is less dense than air," Xifa said frankly.

Melissa nodded: "Understood, I can think about how to solve this problem, but I can't guarantee success."

"marvelous!"

Xifa took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the table: "Here is a research grant of 300 pounds, you can use it to buy the materials and tools you need."

Melissa waved her hands immediately: "It doesn't take so much."

"Don't rush to refuse, Melissa."

Xifa said earnestly: "Every master in physics relies not only on ideas, but on some novel ideas. Inspiration is very important, but to realize each inspiration, countless experiments are required."

"When I saw you for the first time, I had an intuition that in the future you will definitely make achievements in physics and mechanics."

"So I want to invest in you, and in the future, I may have many questions about machinery to ask you, and even like this time, I need your help."

"Therefore, the research funding of 300 pounds is not much at all."

Seeing what Xifa said, after a little struggle in her heart, Melissa nodded and said, "Okay then, but I will record every expense."

"Regardless of success or failure in the end, if there is any funds left, I will refund all of them to you."

Xifa smiled and said: "No problem, but please don't forget to add your remuneration. Time is a very precious thing, so this is fine. You only take time to help me research this kind of pressure parts without affecting your study. .”

"In terms of remuneration, I think a weekly salary of £2 is a fair and reasonable price. What do you think?"

Melissa whispered: "Too much"

"No, I think it's still too little, after all, it takes up your precious private time, so let's decide."

Xifa also left the address of the safe house: "If you need it, or if you have any progress, you can write to me."

"In addition, I hope this work will not affect your normal life, please take care of your health."

Melissa smiled and nodded: "I will."

Maybe she was placed with high hopes, maybe she had a challenging subject, the girl's eyes were much clearer than before.

This is exactly what Xifa wanted.

"So."

Xifa was about to leave, when suddenly, a soft sound was caught in his ears.

The sound came from upstairs, as if someone had quietly opened the window.

Xifa narrowed his eyes slightly, first made a 'silence' gesture to Melissa, then pointed upstairs, deliberately raised his voice and said, "Mind if I use the bathroom?"

"Of course I don't mind, please follow me." Melissa seemed to have guessed something, cooperated with Xifa's rhetoric, and took the initiative to lead the way.

They came to the washroom opposite the living room, and Sifa turned on the water, making the water splash, then approached the girl and whispered in her ear.

"Is there anyone else in your family?"

Melissa didn't feel uncomfortable because she was too close to Xifa, she shook her head: "No, I'm the only one at home this afternoon."

"Then, if no stray cats entered the house, there is a high probability that burglars did."

Melissa said nervously, "I'm going to call the police."

"Wait, I'll go up and have a look. Don't worry about me, I have received strict training, and I am pretty good at spear and fighting."

Cifer took off his top hat, handed it to Melissa, and went upstairs by himself.

Recalling the direction where the voice came from just now, Sifa stood in front of a bedroom door.

With his cane, gently, he pushed the door open.

The door seemed to be Melissa's bedroom. Sifer saw a skirt hanging on the wall, saw books and various small parts on the desk by the wall, and saw the window facing the door open. , the wind blew the curtains.

The wind poured in from the window and blew into the corridor. On the wind, Sifa caught a scent. It seems to be a perfume, and it is a men's perfume, but this smell is not the smell of the mainstream perfume used by gentlemen in the Loen Kingdom.

Smelling the faint scent of perfume, Xifa knew without divination that there was someone in the room.

Thieves should not use perfume.

So, who is going to play Melissa's idea?

Of course, Xifa would not let Klein's sister fall into danger. The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he walked into the room without fear.

The moment he stepped into the room, he felt a tingling sensation on the back of his hand, and such a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

A man in a black tuxedo waist and half-height silk top hat. At this moment, just like a cat, squatting on the door with a strange lightness and flexibility. He raised his right hand high, holding a card in his hand, and slammed the card at himself who entered the door!
