Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 23 Family Apartment
The doll stood in front of the door holding an advertising board, and the words revealed anticipation 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 invite her to dinner next time.

Uh. That was actually a kind word.

It's like, 'Have you eaten yet? 'That's just a polite word.

But the girl took it seriously, and specially put on new doll clothes, waiting here happily.

Even a picky 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 organization, whether it was the Ember Church or the organization behind the Black Umbrella.Everyone may have noticed him by now.

Whether it is the special ability of the All-Seeing Faceless One, or the conspicuous feat of smashing the altar of ghosts and immortals.

It would arouse the vigilance of those organizations. When the black umbrella youth threatened Li Yelai with his family, he had already felt fear.

He understands that no matter how strong he grows, he cannot always stay by his family's side.

He had to make arrangements for Li Yunyan's safety first.

So, Li Yelai sorted out his words and said to the doll: "I have something urgent today, can you do it in a few days?"

The doll visibly fell down, and the arm holding the advertising board dropped. The advertising board turned gray as if it had lost its power.

She was really sad, thinking that the only companion who was not affected by the curse was alienating herself.

If Li Yelai could look through the hood, he would see one of the beautiful faces that were in a state of decline with moist eyes.

She didn't show any strength, and the impact of her hope being suddenly wiped out made her legs feel weak.

Li Yelai noticed her thoughts and immediately added: "As you know, I met an enemy today, and he threatened me with his family. Although he is already familiar with it, I am still a little worried. I plan to go home and clean up immediately, and Get ready to move.”

The doll instantly comes to life and holds up the billboard again.

[It’s so abominable to threaten your family (╬￣Van￣)]
[Then have you thought about your new home (O_o)??]
"Well, not yet." Li Yelai shook his head and said: "And my sister doesn't know that I am a psyker, nor has she ever known about the existence of psykers. 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 the danger, and they don’t want their families to worry.He has always concealed his identity.But since this kind of thing has already happened, I have to confess it (`へ*)ノ]
[As for a new home, don’t look for it randomly.Safety must come first. If you are a member of the 'Champion', you can ask the 'Champion' branch about its policies for family members.But I live in the branch and don’t know much about this. (ω)(._.`)]
"Okay, thank you very much. I'll treat you to dinner after I finish moving!" Li Yelai thought for a while and realized that Yang Chen's code name was 'Champion', so he immediately nodded to the doll.

Then, he walked quickly to Yang Chen's office.

When passing by the doll, I heard a somewhat dull female voice: "You're welcome."

Soon, Li Yelai came to Yang Chen's office.

"I just wanted to find you." Yang Chen smiled and said: "Generally speaking, we don't get involved in the personal lives of handlers. But some handlers are emerging and can easily arouse the hostility of some bastards. Therefore, we also have the ability to protect family members. policy.

For example, there is an apartment in the ring city area four kilometers away from this branch.It is a safe place for our handlers to house their families and some protective personnel.There will be several teams of handlers, as well as a team of iron guards, guarding 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 use merit points to buy it, as long as you don't want to live in the most luxurious villa. An ordinary three-bedroom, one-living-room, one-bathroom apartment only costs twenty merit points. If you don't have enough points, I can help you cover it. Yes. Give me another chance." Yang Chen said.

Li Yelai made an estimate.

I heard the quotation given by the detective before. Some handlers purchase merit points. The price of one merit point fluctuates between [-] and [-].

That is to say, the house purchase this time will cost Li Yelai about 30 to 40.

This is already a huge sum of money. With Li Ye's salary before coming here, without food or drink, it would take 25 years to buy it at the lowest price.

However, compared with other houses in the ring city area, the price Li Yelai inquired about at that time was around 80.This price is already a breaking price.

Moreover, there is a team of handlers and a team of iron guards guarding this community day and night, so the price will only be higher than ordinary houses.Millions of city coins?
It should be the internal welfare of the processing department for the processors.

Twenty merit points, even if there is no incident, just for those daily tasks, you can save [-] points in a year, and the captain can also advance it.

After Li Yelai thought about it, he nodded and said: "I have enough points, then I will buy this place."

Although he is usually picky and fussy, Li Yelai will not hesitate when it comes to the safety of his family.

"Okay, I'll give you the address. After you go there, someone will greet you. You can basically just bring your bags and check in." Yang Chen said.

Then, after looking at the snowman doll peeking out of the door, Yang Chen smiled at the doll and said to Li Yelai: "Go back and be honest with your sister. Moreover, her situation also requires this kind of protection."

What does this statement mean, 'sister's situation'?
Li Yelai's heart moved and he looked at Yang Chen.

He knew clearly in his heart that Yang Chen had already seen that Li Yunyan was contaminated by the curse and was a borderline person.

Generally speaking, such borderline people should be guarded.

But out of his trust in Li Yelai, he didn't pursue anything.

"Thank you, captain." Li Yelai responded in a low voice.

Then, he left the room.

After Yang Chen watched Li Yelai leave, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and turned into a lonely sigh.

Who would want one of their family members to be psykers?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 across from Yang Chen's desk and threw a cigarette to Yang Chen.

He lit a cigarette by himself and took several puffs without saying a word.Then he blew out a smoke ring.

And Yang Chen was just like him, puffing out smoke.

The two of them said nothing, except for the flickering cigarette butts in the smoke.

"Old Huang, how is your investigation going? How are you going to report to the superiors?" 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 is extremely resistant to curses. There are only three possibilities."

"The first type is born with extremely strong resistance to curses. This kind of person will have more or less anti-psionic abilities. But he does not have anti-psionic abilities."

"The second is that he has come into contact with some kind of taboo object, so that he will not be affected by the curse. A Class A taboo object that can suppress the doll curse? Judging from his career and scope of activities. He has no chance to come into contact with it. This kind of thing."

"The third type is that he has a very high status. He is even beyond the scope of the curse. Even the divine choice caught before did not show such resistance to the curse. He" The investigator looked at Xiang Chen told Yang Chen his guess: "Is there a terrifying existence behind him?"

"That existence is stronger than the ghost fairy! That's why the ghost fairy retreats. In this way, it makes sense. After all, his overlord face is so special. With the power of all things, he can use the power of his spiritual eyes. If he has more than one What about Facebook? The second and third pictures, I can’t even imagine how high his upper limit will be!”

"Are you envious?" Yang Chen smiled: "This is my team member, you have no part in it!"

"Aren't you worried?" The investigator frowned.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "I am willing to believe him. He also made a move that met my expectations. I just need to wait for him to succeed and applaud him. I know what the people above are doubting and worrying about. But as long as I am here, they won't What happened?"

After the investigator looked at him for a long time, he shook his head and said: "After the 'Fighting Gun' boy inherited the title of 'Champion', his temperament became much better. Okay, as an old teammate, I will also help you." This will prevent other departments from becoming suspicious. But I will still report the truth to the superiors."

"That's enough." Yang Chen nodded and asked, "Drink a little tonight?"

"No, I have to go back to the headquarters." The investigator stood up and left.

When leaving the gate, he looked back at Yang Chen: "Live on, I don't have many old teammates left, don't be overwhelmed by the title of champion."

"Don't plant a flag for me, go away!" Yang Chen waved his hand in disgust.

On the other side, after Li Yelai left the branch, he immediately took a taxi and rushed back to his old apartment. He even used the air step when no one was around to reach his floor as quickly as possible.

He planned to pack his luggage and move directly into his family's apartment tonight.This is the safest.

So, when the door to the home opened.

Li Yelai, who was out of breath, 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, are you finally going to confess that you were kept by a rich woman? Tell me, how old are you? I can hold on!"

Li Yelai's face twitched and he refused to answer the question at all.

Instead, after entering the room and closing the door, he began to pack his luggage.

"What? You actually want to leave?" Li Yunyan looked distressed: "You have changed! Are you actually going to abandon your dependent sister for that rich woman? Uh-huh!"

"Can't you ask that rich woman if her gender is not so stuck? I can do it too! Let's do it together!"

"Ouch!" Li Yunyan suddenly cried out in pain, and Li Yelai pinched her face and said, "Stop playing, you also pack your luggage, we will move tonight!"

"You really want me to entertain a rich woman?" After Li Yunyan broke free from Li Yelai's hand, she rubbed her face and asked cautiously: "No, is your sponsor a man or a woman?"

He said this, but he still packed his luggage with Li Yelai.

Although she didn't know why, she still chose to believe her brother.as always.

Li Yelai thought for a while, and then used Air Step directly in front of Li Yunyan.

In mid-air, one meter high, he took seven consecutive steps and walked back and forth.

Li Yunyan exclaimed: "A strong man from Douzong is so terrifying! My brother has the appearance of a great emperor!"

'What other pre-disaster novel did this girl read? '

Li Yelai was unable to complain.

After landing, he told his sister bit by bit what he had experienced these days.

Of course, Li Yelai still hid the existence of the black shadow.

Just mentioning the Skinners, Psykers, Handlers, Handling Department, and the dangers you may encounter today.

Li Yunyan's expression also changed from surprised and curious at the beginning, to seriousness, and finally to worry.

"You've been through so much and you didn't even tell me!" Li Yunyan punched Li Yelai hard in the chest: "In other words, my current illness is just like your luck, brother. It's a curse? "

Li Yelai nodded solemnly: "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 asked in a low voice: "Brother, can you resign?"

Seeing Li Yelai's confused look, Li Yunyan continued: "This is very dangerous. Those who are skinners and those who are in the void realm. They are all very dangerous things."

"Your brother and I are still very strong. Didn't you already tell me that your brother has the appearance of an emperor! If God had not given birth to me, Li Yelai, whoever would come." Li Yelai responded: "And only in the official place can the solution to the curse be found. method."

"It's okay if we don't solve the curse. After all these years, there's nothing wrong with the two of us." Li Yunyan whispered.

"Don't worry, there won't be too much danger." Li Yelai responded: "The probability of encountering an enemy is low. Now I have a kind boss and a beautiful senior who takes care of me. After moving into the family apartment, our life will be stable. Now. Are you considering it then?"

Li Yunyan suddenly said: "Tell me more about the beautiful senior!"

"Tsk!"

By the time Li Yelai and Li Yunyan packed their luggage, it was already around ten o'clock at night.

There are far fewer pedestrians on the road.

But this is a good thing for the curse-ridden Li Yunyan.

At this moment, she is wearing a pair of headphones and sunglasses, looking young and beautiful.

She held 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 in three years that she has left home.

Although he still didn't dare to open his eyes, at least he left the small space for the time being.

Li Yelai, on the other hand, carried large and small bags and led Li Yunyan carefully out of the apartment stairwell.

But on the first floor of the unit building, I saw a snowman doll.

She leaned against 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 your transfer (ω)]
Before Li Yelai could speak, he felt his sister pinch him.

She didn't know when she opened her eyes and complained in a low voice: "You still said you were not taken care of?"
