Chapter 23 Family Apartment
The doll stood in front of the door holding a billboard, and the words between the lines revealed expectation and nervousness.
Li Yelai thought for a few seconds before reacting.
When he followed the doll's advice and stayed away from the battlefield, he seemed to have said that he would treat her to a meal next time.
Uh. That was actually a polite remark.
Just like people often say, "Have you eaten?" This is just a polite remark.
But the girl took it seriously and changed into new doll clothes and waited here coquettishly.
Even a stingy person like Li Yelai couldn't say no.
But Li Yelai had to rush home immediately. Everything that happened today frightened him.
After all, he was targeted by some organizations, whether it was the Embers Church or the organization behind the Black Umbrella. Now they may have noticed him.
Whether it was the special ability of Wanxiang Wumian or the conspicuous feat of smashing the ghost fairy altar.
It would arouse the vigilance of those organizations. When the Black Umbrella Youth threatened Li Yelai with his family, he already felt fear.
He understood that no matter how strong he grew, he could not always stay by his family's side.
He had to arrange Li Yunyan's safety first.
So, Li Yelai sorted out his words and said to the doll: "I have an urgent matter today. Can I wait a few days?"
The doll was visibly disappointed, and the arm holding the billboard drooped. The billboard was gray as if it had lost its power.
She was really sad, thinking that this only companion who was not affected by the curse was alienating herself.
If Li Yelai's eyes could penetrate the hood, he would see one of the beautiful faces with extremely decadent eyes and moist eyes.
She did not show her strength, and the shock of her hope being suddenly wiped out made her legs a little weak.
Li Yelai noticed her thoughts and immediately added: "You know I met an enemy today, and he threatened me with my family. Although he is familiar with me, I am still a little worried. I plan to go home and pack up immediately and prepare to move."
The doll instantly regained vitality and raised the billboard again.
[You actually threatened your family, how abominable (╬ ̄皿 ̄)]
[Have you considered a new home (O_o)??]
“Uh, not yet.” Li Yelai shook his head and said, “And my sister doesn’t know that I’m a psychic, nor does she know that psychics exist. I’m thinking about how to confess to her.”
[Some colleagues are like this too, they don’t want their families to be involved in danger, nor do they want their families to worry. So they have been hiding their identities. But since this has happened, they have to confess (`へ*)ノ]
[As for a new home, you can’t just look for it randomly. Safety must be the first priority. You are a member of the ‘Champion’ team, you can ask the ‘Champion’ branch about the policy for family members. But I live in the branch, and I don’t know much about this. (ω)(._.`)]
“Okay, thank you very much, I’ll treat you to dinner after I move!” Li Yelai thought for a while, and then realized that Yang Chen’s code name was ‘Champion’, and immediately nodded to the doll.
Then, he walked quickly to Yang Chen's office.
When passing by the doll, he heard a somewhat dull female voice: "You're welcome."
Soon, Li Yelai came to Yang Chen's office.
"I was just looking for you." Yang Chen smiled and said, "Generally speaking, we don't interfere with the private lives of handlers. But some handlers are emerging and are likely to arouse the hostility of some bastards. Therefore, we also have a policy to protect family members.
For example, four kilometers away from this branch, there is an apartment in Huancheng District. It is a safe place for our handlers to place their families and some protection personnel. There will be several handler groups and a team of iron guards to guard secretly."
"Is this price expensive?" Li Yelai asked: "I don't have many Jucheng coins in my account."
Now Li Yelai has some savings, but it is not enough to buy a house.
"You can buy it with merit points, as long as you don't want to live in the most luxurious villa. The general three-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom only needs 20 merit points. If you don't have enough points, I can help you. Pay me back when you have a chance." Yang Chen said.
Li Yelai estimated.
According to the quote given by the detective, some handlers buy merit points, and the price of one merit point fluctuates between 15,000 and 20,000.
That means that this house will cost Li Yelai about 300,000 to 400,000.
This is already a huge sum of money. With Li Yelai's previous salary, even if he doesn't eat or drink, it will take 25 years to buy it at the lowest price.
However, compared with other houses in the surrounding city, the price Li Yelai inquired about at the time was about 800,000. This price is already a bargain.
Moreover, there is a handler team and a team of iron guards guarding day and night in this community, so the price will only be higher than that of ordinary houses. Millions of giant city coins?
It should be the internal welfare of the handling department for handlers.
Even if there is no incident, 20 merit points can save a lot of money in a year just from those daily tasks, and the captain can also pay for it.
After thinking about it, Li Yelai nodded and said, "I have enough points, so I will buy this place."
Although he is usually stingy, Li Yelai will not hesitate when it comes to the safety of his family.
“Okay, I’ll give you the address. When you go there, someone will receive you. Basically, you can just move in with your luggage.” Yang Chen said.
Then, after looking at the snowman doll that was peeking out of the door, Yang Chen smiled at it and said to Li Yelai: "Go back and be honest with your sister. Besides, her situation also requires this kind of protection."
This sentence is meant to be, 'sister's situation'?
Li Yelai's heart moved and he looked at Yang Chen.
In his heart, he knew that Yang Chen had seen that Li Yunyan was infected by the curse and was a critical person.
Generally speaking, such critical people should be kept under guard.
But out of his trust in Li Yelai, he did not pursue anything.
"Thank you, Captain." Li Yelai responded in a low voice.
Then, he left the room.
After watching Li Yelai leave, Yang Chen's smile gradually disappeared and turned into a lonely sigh.
Who would want their family to become psychics? This is a gift and a curse.
At this time, a person walked in from outside the room. It was the investigator who had communicated with Li Yelai before.
He sat carelessly opposite Yang Chen's desk and threw a cigarette to Yang Chen.
He lit a cigarette and took several puffs without saying a word. He then blew out a smoke ring.
Yang Chen also puffed out smoke like him.
The two of them said nothing, only the cigarette butt flickered in the smoke.
"Old Huang, how is your investigation going? How are you going to report to the higher-ups?" Yang Chen asked.
"Don't be polite to your seniors." The investigator narrowed his eyes and said, "He can see the doll's face, which means he has a strong resistance to curses. There are only three possibilities."
"The first is that he is born with a strong resistance to curses. And such people will more or less have anti-psychic abilities. But he doesn't have anti-psychic abilities."
"The second is that he has come into contact with some kind of taboo, so he won't be affected by the curse. A-level taboo that can suppress the doll's curse? But judging from his career and range of activities, he has no chance to come into contact with such things."
"The third is that his status is very high. Even beyond the range of the curse. Even the chosen one we caught before did not show this kind of resistance to the curse. He"
The investigator looked at Yang Chen and expressed his guess: "Is there a terrifying existence behind him?"
"That existence is stronger than the ghost fairy! That's why the ghost fairy retreated. This makes sense. After all, his Overlord mask is so special. With the power of all things, he can display the power of the spirit eyes. What if he has more than one mask? The second and third masks, I dare not imagine how high his upper limit will be! "
"Are you envious?" Yang Chen smiled: "This is my team member, you have no chance!"
"Aren't you worried?" The investigator frowned.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "I am willing to believe him. He has also made moves that meet my expectations. I just need to wait for him to succeed and applaud him. I know what the higher-ups are doubting and worrying about. But with me here, nothing will go wrong."
After looking at him for a long time, the investigator shook his head and said, "The 'tough gun' kid of the year has inherited the title of 'champion'. His mentality has improved a lot. Okay, as a former teammate, I will also help you to avoid suspicion from other departments. But I will still report to the higher-ups truthfully."
"That's enough." Yang Chen nodded and asked, "Drink a little tonight?"
"No, I have to go back to the headquarters." The investigator got up and left.
When leaving the gate, he looked back at Yang Chen: "Live on, my old teammates are not many, don't be crushed by the title of champion."
"Don't put a flag on me, get out!" Yang Chen waved his hand in disdain.
On the other side, after Li Yelai left the branch, he immediately took a taxi back to the old apartment, and even used air stepping when no one was around to reach his floor at the fastest speed.
He planned to pack his luggage tonight and move directly into the family apartment. This is the safest way.
So, when the door of the house was opened.
Li Yelai, panting, looked at Li Yunyan behind the door and said, "Sister, I have to confess something to you."
"Confess." Li Yunyan's pretty face changed: "Finally, you are finally going to confess that you are being kept by a rich woman? Tell me, how old are you? I can hold on!"
Li Yelai's face twitched, and he didn't take this at all.
Instead, he entered the room, closed the door, and began to pack his luggage.
"What? You're leaving?" Li Yunyan looked distressed: "You've changed! Are you going to abandon your sister who depends on you for that rich woman? Oh, oh, oh!"
"Can't you ask that rich woman if the gender can be more accurate? I can do it too! Let's go together!"
"Ouch!" Li Yunyan suddenly cried out in pain, and Li Yelai pinched her face and said, "Stop playing, pack your luggage, we'll move tonight!"
"You really want me to entertain the rich woman?" After Li Yunyan broke free from Li Yelai's palm, she rubbed her face and asked vigilantly, "No, is the one who supports you a man or a woman?"
She said this, but she still packed her luggage with Li Yelai.
Although she didn't know why, she still chose to believe her brother. As always.
Li Yelai thought about it and performed air stepping directly in front of Li Yunyan.
In the air one meter high, he took seven steps in a row and walked back and forth.
Li Yunyan exclaimed: "A Dou Zong strongman is so terrifying! My brother has the appearance of an emperor!"
'What kind of novels did this girl read before the disaster? '
Li Yelai was powerless to complain.
After landing, he told his sister about his experiences these days bit by bit.
Of course, Li Yelai still hid the existence of the black shadow.
He only mentioned the skinner, the psychic, the handler, the processing department, and the dangers that might be encountered now.
And Li Yunyan's expression changed from surprise and curiosity at the beginning to solemnity, and finally to worry.
"You actually went through so much, but you didn't tell me!" Li Yunyan punched Li Yelai in the chest with force: "In other words, my current illness is like your luck, brother, a curse?"
Li Yelai nodded seriously: "Indeed."
"So, I can also become a psychic?" Li Yunyan looked a little surprised.
Li Yelai continued to pack his luggage and said, "Let's move first."
Li Yunyan suddenly stopped and whispered, "Brother, can you resign?"
Seeing Li Yelai's puzzled face, Li Yunyan continued, "This is very dangerous. What skinners and virtual creatures are all very dangerous things."
"I am still very strong. Didn't you say that your brother has the appearance of an emperor! If I, Li Yelai, were not born, what would come?" Li Yelai responded, "And only the official can find a way to solve the curse."
"It's okay if the curse is not solved. After so many years, there is nothing wrong with the two of us." Li Yunyan said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, there won't be too much danger." Li Yelai responded: "It is a low probability to encounter an enemy. Now I have a kind boss and a beautiful senior who takes care of me. After living in the family apartment, our life will be stable. Let's consider it then?"
Li Yunyan suddenly said: "Tell me more, beautiful senior!"
"Tsk!"
When Li Yelai and Li Yunyan packed their luggage, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.
There were fewer pedestrians on the road.
But this is a good thing for Li Yunyan, who was cursed.
At this moment, she was wearing a pair of headphones and sunglasses, young and beautiful.
She carried the suitcase in one hand, grabbed Li Yelai's arm with the other, and walked out of the house with her eyes closed.
This is the first time she has left home in three years.
Although, she still didn't dare to open her eyes, at least she left the small space temporarily.
Li Yelai carried a lot of bags and led Li Yunyan out of the apartment stairwell carefully.
But on the first floor of the apartment building, she saw a snowman doll.
She leaned on the street lamp and turned the billboard in her hand boredly.
After seeing Li Yelai, she raised the billboard in her hand.
[I am here to protect you from transfer(ω)]
Before Li Yelai opened her mouth, she felt her sister pinch her.
She opened her eyes at some point and whispered, "You still say you are not being kept?"
