He warmly put his arm around Chen Lusi's neck and introduced himself: "I'm Wu You. If you want to give me face, you can call me Brother Wu. If not, just call me Wu You."

"Is there something wrong?" Chen Lusi asked with some confusion.

Wu You led Chen Lusi into the house while explaining, "There's something unusual happening nearby that needs to be dealt with. You need to come with us."

Chen Lusi didn't mind being strangled, but he was a little curious: "Why? Wasn't I eliminated?"

Wu You said with a grin, "After some research, we decided to give you another chance. Xiao Xia Pan also agreed. How is it? Are you happy?"

"Oh……"

Chen Lusi turned his head, glanced at Xia Panqiu who had followed him into the room, and asked, "Can we not take this opportunity?"

"No, this job is dangerous, but the pay is pretty good."

Wu You advised: "Even if you're new, you can still earn 20,000 yuan a month, and you'll also get five insurances and one housing fund, the highest-end kind."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"And old employees like me can get this much every month..." Wu You stretched out his hand and made an eight gesture.

Chen Lusi slowly stopped and turned around: "...Can the provident fund be used to buy a house in Jiangchang City?"

"Of course, but I don't know how much credit is available. Uncle has never bought a house."

Chen Lusi hesitated for a long time after hearing this, and finally replied: "...Then I will join."

Wu You was very satisfied with Chen Lusi's answer and released his neck. "Then it's settled. Anything to drink?"

"Cola, green tea, mineral water."

Chen Lusi became much more enthusiastic. He came to the refrigerator and asked the three people who came into the room what they wanted to drink.

"Cola."

"Cola."

"……mineral water."

Chen Lusi nodded, then took out two bottles of Coke and a bottle of mineral water, and said, "Please sit wherever you like."

"...Where should I sit?"

Wu You took the Coke, then looked around the room which only had a bed, a table and a gaming chair, and spread his hands.

"On the bed."

Chen Lusi handed another bottle of Coke to Li Tian and said casually.

Wu You sat down on the bed without hesitation. Li Tian hesitated for a while and also sat down on the bed.

But Xia Panqiu did not move. Instead, she leaned against the wall and looked at him quietly.

"You're not used to being able to sit in a chair."

Chen Lusi handed her the mineral water and then pointed to the gaming chair in front of the computer.

"Need not."

Xia Panqiu shook her head, took the mineral water and refused it directly.

Chen Lusi didn't force it. He pulled out a chair and sat down, asking, "When do we leave?"

"immediately."

Wu You took a sip of Coke and replied, "I mainly want you to get familiar with the work process. Xiao Panqiu and I will be with you. It shouldn't be dangerous, so don't be nervous."

"I'm not nervous. I just want to ask if we can wait." Chen Lu thought for a moment and asked.

"busy?"

Chen Lusi said truthfully, "I haven't eaten yet. I just ordered some takeout which isn't cheap. I want to finish eating before leaving."

Wu You said readily, "Okay, we'll wait for you."

"Then feel free to do as you please. The takeaway will probably be here soon."

Chen Lusi replied while picking up the handle.

The main reason was that he had a feeling that things would get awkward, so he decided to just play a game and let them do what they were supposed to do.

And his hunch was right.

What follows is really awkward...

Four people squeezed into the small room.

But Chen Lusi, the host, started playing games. The only cheerful person was a middle-aged man who knew nothing about games.

Xia Panqiu and Li Tian didn't want to talk, and one of them didn't dare to speak in front of Wu You.

In the end, they could only watch Chen Lusi play.

There were four people, but no one was talking. The only sound in the room was the game.

After half an hour.

Wu You couldn't bear it any longer...

Fortunately.

The takeaway finally arrived.

But the more embarrassing thing is coming.

Chen Lusi ate alone while the other three watched.

In the small room, the takeout exudes an enticing aroma.

Li Tian and Wu You sat on the bed, gulping down Coke.

Chen Lusi sat in a chair, chewing and swallowing.

No one spoke at all.

It's really... so embarrassing.

"..."

Xia Panqiu leaned against the wall, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a sip of mineral water, then looked away from Chen Lusi.

She is used to it.

Under surveillance, this person is also like this, and has been the same for the past few days.

Chapter 17: First Mission Trip

"Awaited."

One p.m.

Chen Lusi was finally ready.

"Sorry for the long wait."

Wu You stood up and said listlessly, "This is the first time I've discovered how painful it is to be a guest at someone else's house... Lu Si, you should learn how to entertain guests."

"Do I look like the kind of person who would entertain guests?"

Chen Lusi asked back.

Wu You was speechless and could only ask Li Tian to go out together.

Chen Lusi followed closely behind and was about to lock the door, but found that Xia Panqiu did not leave, but was walking around in his room.

Chen Lusi was a little curious, but didn't ask much.

He doesn't have any shameful secrets, so just go for a walk.

"..."

Xia Panqiu put the recovered camera into his pocket, turned around, and found Chen Lusi and two others standing at the door looking at him.

...looked strange.

Xia Panqiu quickly realized that something was wrong.

This is someone else's house after all...

So after a moment of silence, she looked at Chen Lusi and asked, "Is your 'shadow' following you?"

"shadow?"

Chen Lusi was stunned for half a second before reacting: "She has disappeared."

"Disappear... Got it."

Xia Panqiu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Because while she was talking, she had already walked out of the room.

Chen Lusi looked at her strangely, but in the end didn't say anything and closed the door.

Officially started his first mission journey.

……

3pm.

Chen Lusi followed the team to their destination - Wucha Town.

This is a small town under the jurisdiction of Jiangchang City.

It is not far from Chen Lusi’s hometown.

So after arriving at the destination, Chen Lusi just got out of the car, and before he had time to do anything, Wu You came up and hooked his neck: "Brother, have you been here before? Do you have any local specialties to recommend?"

"I've never been here, so I'm not sure what the local specialties are." Chen Lusi shook his head.

Wu You was a little surprised and asked, "Isn't your hometown right next door?"

"I don't like going out much."

Chen Lusi looked around and answered casually.

"..."

Wu You sighed, shrugged somewhat boredly, turned and walked towards Li Tian.

Chen Lusi continued to observe this small town which was only more than ten kilometers away from his hometown.

They were currently at the market where the town regularly gathered for trade.

Although the market is small, it has everything you need, including banks, supermarkets and shops. But today is obviously not a market day. Although the shops are open, there are not many people and it is very deserted.

The arrival of these outsiders did not attract much attention.

After all, although Wucha Town is a bit remote, it is not a truly remote and poor place.

At this time.

Chen Lusi noticed Xia Panqiu next to him.

She stood quietly beside the car, unlike Chen Lusi and Li Tian, who could be seen at a glance as outsiders.

Look from afar.

Compared with her peers, she is petite in figure, has a cute face with unclear features, and her simple and light outfit adds to her youthful aura.

All this made her look not like a foreigner, but more like a student who had skipped classes.

The only difference between her and the high school girl Chen Lusi had in mind was her long, flowing hair.

Maybe she cut her hair short because she thought long hair made her look younger?

Just like she deliberately wears OL clothes, is it just a move to show her maturity?

Chen Lusi stared at her pretty short hair that barely reached her shoulders, and while thinking, he asked, "...What should I do next?"

"...Wait, and ask the locals if they have any famous strange stories or legends."

Xia Panqiu turned around, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Although it's often useless, it's the only thing we can do. Kunlun can usually only give us an approximate location and time, but we can't deal with it in advance. We can only wait for the thunder to strike and then try to control the situation."
