At around 9 pm, a black off-road vehicle drove over from afar and stopped at the roadside in front of Xia Pingan's residential area.
The street lamps were like ghostly flames as they shone on the slightly old street and the parasol trees on the roadside. Under the street lamps, the parasol trees' shade was threatening as if a monster was about to jump out from the ground.
Usually, at this time, there would be many pedestrians and peddlers on the roadside outside the community. However, today, it was exceptionally quiet outside the community. Although everyone in the city had received the notification that the four escaped demon rats had been killed an hour ago, the aftermath of the space invasion yesterday had not completely passed yet.
Many residents were worried that there might be some fish that escaped the net or criminals who would take advantage of the situation to rob them. Therefore, the streets of the city were extremely quiet tonight.
There were indeed cases of fish escaping the net. Because the monitoring statistics of space invasion creatures were sometimes difficult to be 100% accurate, and in some small-scale space invasions, such as G-class and below, it was possible to escape the monitoring of the satellite network.
In the space invasion, the city's public security was indeed a problem.
A sad atmosphere quietly pervaded the dark night of the city. However, there was also a trace of fear in this sadness.
In the car, Xia Pingan unfastened his seat belt.
Mo Yanshao handed a thick file bag to Xia Pingan. "This is the 40,000 yuan reward that he promised you. Old Tu rarely praises others. Since he approved of you, it means that you've done a great job..."
Xia Pingan pinched the thick file bag and knew that there was not a cent less than the 40,000 yuan inside. "Do I still need to return this set of clothes?" “
Xia Pingan's clothes were completely wet. Therefore, when he came out of the cave and returned to a special hospital in the city for an anti-epidemic hygiene test and immunization medication, Mo Yanshao prepared a new set of sportswear and shoes for him. They were all famous brands and the size was exactly the same as the one he was wearing.
After changing into a new set of clothes, Xia Pingan looked a lot more spirited.
Mo Yanshao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Pingan. "You can keep this suit as an extra reward. Oh right, I am now officially informing you in the name of the National Committee of Order. Since the Committee of Order has discovered your awakened ability, please report to the National Committee of Order in Xianghe City at 9 am next Monday."
Xia Pingan nodded numbly. He then opened the door and prepared to get out of the car. But before he got out, he asked curiously, "Is that bald man really a summoner? Why is he carrying a large saber on his back? I don't see him using his ability. “
"Of course Old Tu is a summoner. It's just that he's been on two missions this month, so he's used up most of his Divine Power points and Divine Power replenishing pills. That's why he can only use weapons to fight …" Mo Yanshao replied.
"Oh, I see!" Xia Pingan finally got out of the car. He slammed the door shut and walked towards the residential area.
Mo Yanshao watched as Xia Pingan walked into the residential area. He smiled lightly and said to himself, "Don't worry, we'll meet again soon!" “
Mo Yanshao picked up the phone beside him and dialed a number.
A lazy male voice came from the other side of the phone. "Boss, what's the matter?"
"I want all the information related to Xia Pingan. The more detailed, the better!" “
"Xia Pingan, is he the Clairvoyant that Old Tu mentioned today?"
"Yes!"
"Boss, he's just a normal awakened. Is he worth my time? I'm worth hundreds of thousands per second …"
"Cut the crap. I'll give you one day!"
After saying this, Mo Yanshao hung up the phone.
…
The black off-road vehicle's headlights turned around in the dark. It drew two red lights and disappeared on the road outside. Xia Pingan looked back and then walked towards his place.
Forty thousand yuan was not a small amount for him. He would have to work at the repair shop for at least three months. Today, he had earned that much in just one day. A powerful organization like the National Committee of Order was indeed rich.
Although money was good, his hidden remote viewing ability had been exposed today. Yesterday, he could not help but look at it from afar. That thought had caused a chain reaction that quickly fermented in his life. He did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse!
Xia Pingan thought to himself. Moreover, if he reported it himself, the Committee of Order would definitely investigate his past. He did not know if they would find anything.
This was life. No one knew which would come first, tomorrow or an accident!
The forty thousand yuan in the bag in his hand was heavy. It was just like Xia Pingan's mood at the moment. Although he had earned a sum of money, Xia Pingan did not feel relaxed. Instead, he felt a little heavy.
Xia Pingan walked downstairs to his building. He entered the password and unlocked the door of the building's lobby.
Seeing Xia Pingan come in, the security guard who was watching TV in the reception room next to the lobby popped his head out of the window and asked curiously, "Xia Pingan, what's going on today? A helicopter flew to our neighborhood?" “
Xia Pingan smiled. "It's nothing. When I was on my way back, I accidentally passed by an undisinfected health and epidemic prevention area that hadn't been sealed off yet. Later, I was discovered by someone from the surveillance camera, so they chased me all the way to the neighborhood. I was taken to the hospital for a day of observation by the people sent by the Order Committee. Uncle Wu, look, they even changed my clothes for me …" Xia Pingan said as he opened his arms to show off the new clothes he was wearing.
"Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm okay. If something happened to me, they wouldn't let me come back!"
"That's good, that's good!" The security guard muttered. He retracted his head and began to watch TV. He no longer cared about these things.
Xia Pingan walked up the stairs step by step. He was thinking that the news of a helicopter coming to pick him up today would probably spread throughout the community. His explanation should be able to make the uncles and aunties in the community stop making wild guesses, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to deceive everyone.
It would depend on the situation. If it did not work, he could just move to a place closer to Xia Ning's school.
Xia Pingan came to the door. When he was about to take out the key, the house's security door was suddenly opened.
"Brother, you're back …" Xia Ning's smiling face appeared in front of Xia Pingan.
Xia Ning, who was already a sophomore, looked beautiful. She wore ordinary sportswear and had a youthful and energetic ponytail. She had a slightly round face and a sharp chin. When she smiled, her eyes were like two curved crescent moons, revealing a sense of intelligence.
Xia Pingan smiled and touched Xia Ning's head, then walked into the house.
"Brother, you even changed into a new set of clothes and new shoes. Your clothes and shoes are branded. They cost more than two thousand. Where did you go?" As soon as the two entered the house, Xia Ning's eyes were very sharp. She immediately noticed that Xia Pingan's clothes were different from usual. It could be said that it was somewhat extravagant. Usually, Xia Pingan's clothes rarely cost more than two hundred yuan. Xia Pingan was never willing to buy branded clothes.
"I'll tell you later!" Xia Pingan casually threw the file bag with money on the sofa.
"Okay, then let's eat first!"
Seeing that Xia Pingan had returned, Xia Ning ran into the kitchen and busied herself. She brought out the bowls, chopsticks, and dishes in the steamer from the kitchen.
Seeing that Xia Ning took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, Xia Pingan shook his head. "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me to come back to eat? Why did you wait until now?"
"I'm happy. I'm not hungry anyway!" Xia Ning wrinkled her nose at Xia Pingan and made a face. Then she began to add rice to Xia Pingan's bowl. When she was adding rice, Xia Ning's stomach growled.
"What's growling?" Xia Pingan asked.
"I'm not hungry, but the toad in my stomach is hungry!" Xia Ning answered.
The two siblings laughed and began to eat. The simple house was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Xia Ning made scrambled tomatoes with eggs, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, and seaweed soup.
A few simple dishes were placed on the table. There were red, white, blue, and green dishes. They were like her palette, pleasing to the eye.
Since junior high school, Xia Ning had been able to cook. Now, Xia Ning's dishes were quite tasty.
After the meal, Xia Pingan sat on the sofa and habitually made some tea for himself. Drinking the tea, he called Xia Ning over and handed the file bag to Xia Ning. "Go and save it tomorrow!" Xia Ning was stunned for a moment. Xia Pingan sat on the sofa and habitually made himself some tea.
Xia Ning opened the file bag and saw four stacks of brand-new hundred-yuan bills. His little face was full of shock and his eyes widened. "Forty thousand yuan, brother, where did you get so much money? The repair shop gave out bonuses, but it's not the end of the year yet. Your boss is very stingy, he wouldn't be so generous!"
Xia Pingan smiled. "Of course, I earned it today …"
Xia Ning looked at Xia Pingan and then looked at Xia Pingan's new clothes and shoes. His expression suddenly became complicated and he sighed softly. His little brows wrinkled and his face was full of worry.
"Brother, I know that boys at your age are very depressed and restless. You don't have a girlfriend. Even if our family is short of money, you don't have to do this. Last time, that auntie was very rich. She liked little fresh meat like you, but that auntie was too old. How could you sell yourself for money? I've actually been looking for a girlfriend for you in our school.
There are a few seniors in our class who are very good. Their skin is white and beautiful, and they have long legs. Last time, I introduced you to our school to be a nude model, but you didn't want to. If you want to go, with your figure, it'll be too easy to find a girlfriend if you strip naked in the classroom … "
"Cough … cough …" Xia Pingan, who had just taken a sip of water, almost choked. He glared at Xia Ning and couldn't help but flick Xia Ning's head. "What nonsense are you thinking in that little head of yours?" “
Xia Ning, this scammer, actually wanted to introduce Xia Pingan to her school to be a nude model in the name of wealth and beauty.
Xia Ning rubbed his head and pouted. He looked at Xia Pingan unhappily. "Am I wrong, brother? Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed. I know that some of you guys like those rich and mature auntie."
Xia Pingan looked at the ceiling speechlessly. His sister was good at everything, but … how should he put it? She seemed to be a little too mature. She was still young, but she knew everything and worried about everything.
In order to prevent Xia Ning's imagination from running wild, Xia Pingan finally told the truth. "This money is a bonus from the Committee of Order!"
Xia Ning was stunned. Then, he suddenly thought of something and his face changed slightly. "Ah, brother, they know about your remote viewing ability?"
Only Xia Ning knew about Xia Pingan's remote viewing ability. The two siblings had relied on each other for so many years. This ability couldn't be hidden from Xia Ning.
A few years ago, during a holiday, Xia Ning was taking a nap at home. He forgot to turn off the electric stove in the kitchen and almost caused a fire. Xia Pingan hurriedly called Xia Ning to wake her up. He asked her to turn off the electric switch in the kitchen and put an end to the fire. In the end, only a socket was burned.
As for the two siblings taking a detour to avoid danger, Xia Ning being harassed by hooligans after school, Xia Pingan rushing over in time and so on, it wasn't the first time.
In this case, unless Xia Ning was an idiot, Xia Pingan's remote viewing ability couldn't be hidden.
When Xia Ning asked, Xia Pingan could only tell Xia Ning how Mo Yanshao found out about his remote viewing ability and how he chased the demon rats during the mission today.
"Brother, is the cold short-haired beauty you mentioned beautiful? Did she say anything to you?" After hearing Xia Pingan's words, Xia Ning's first question was actually this.
Xia Pingan really couldn't understand women's thoughts. He directly retreated, "Okay, that woman is beautiful, but it has nothing to do with me!" “
When you talked about that woman, you've already used the term 'short-haired beauty' five times. You only used the term 'bald man' four times. It means that she left a deep impression on you! " Xia Ning said seriously as he stared at Xia Pingan while supporting his chin with his hand, "If she becomes my sister-in-law, of course she has something to do with me!"
Xia Pingan touched his forehead, "Don't you care about something else? Your brother risked his life to chase the demon rats today!"
Xia Ning directly rolled his eyes at Xia Pingan, "Humph, if it was really dangerous, you wouldn't have gone there. You would have just watched from afar. Do you think I don't know how cunning you are?"
Xia Pingan, "I …"
"By the way, brother, are you really going to report to the Committee of Order next Monday?" Xia Ning revealed a worried and curious look.
"I have no choice this time. I have to go there. Additionally, it's very likely that I will be conscripted!"
"Brother, actually, I think you should have gone there earlier!" Xia Ning said seriously, "That repairman job doesn't match you at all. You're surrounded by a bunch of men. You can't even find a girlfriend!" “
"Aren't you worried that your brother will be conscripted by the Committee of Order to do those dangerous jobs?"
"I believe that you'll be fine. I always feel that even if the world is destroyed, you'll still be able to help me survive. Additionally, in the Committee of Order, you'll have a chance to find me a sister-in-law. By the way, keep 3000 yuan for this month's rent and 2000 yuan for next month's living expenses …"
Xia Ning then divided the money into two parts, "We'll save the remaining 35000 yuan tomorrow and use it to buy you a house and get married …"
"Take out another 10000 yuan and save 25000 yuan. With this 10000 yuan, you can find a good teacher to enroll in a training class during the holidays and get special treatment …"
Xia Ning hesitated for a moment. After struggling for a while, he finally said, "I'm going to work during the holidays. I've already made plans with my classmates …"
Xia Pingan glared at Xia Ning. He then took out a stack of 10000 yuan from Xia Ning's two piles of money and placed it beside the 5000 yuan pile, "Your brother is still alive. Do you think it's your turn to work to earn money? If you want to earn money, wait until you become an artist. When one of your paintings can be sold for hundreds of thousands, I won't have to work anymore. By then, it'll be your turn to take care of me.
"I don't need 10000,5000 yuan to enroll in an art class!" Xia Ning retorted.
"You don't want to eat, drink, buy clothes, go shopping, or go to the National Gallery with your friends during the holidays? You can keep the remaining 5000 for yourself. You can buy whatever you want. That's settled. Keep the money well and don't talk nonsense!"
After finishing his words, Xia Pingan turned around and went up to the attic.
Xia Ning looked at the money on the table and then at Xia Pingan's tired back. He sniffled and sucked back the tears that were about to fall. He muttered softly, "Stinky brother, you only know how to scold me …"
