Dream Walker's job scope in HX Research Institute is very similar to that of a salesperson in an insurance company. Everything depends on performance. There is no mandatory requirement to work at certain times, so naturally there is no such thing as arriving late and leaving early.
After reporting the news and recognizing the door, Li Mengnan's main purpose of coming today was achieved, and there was no point in staying any longer.
The most important thing is that he and Euonymus really have nothing in common.
Being an otaku is just a state, while being an otaku is a belief. It can only be said that the gap between the two realms is too big.
Fortunately, Wei Mao also knew the principle of "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" and had no intention of dragging Li Mengnan into the two-dimensional world. After politely trying to persuade him to stay, he personally sent Li Mengnan out of the branch gate.
"Xiao Li, although I really don't want to play this evil person, the rules are the rules, and I still have to remind you - starting from today's report, you are the Dream Walker of the Sanshan Branch of our HX Research Institute. Your mission file
will officially come into effect.
There is still half a month until the end of this month. According to the regulations, you must complete an optional task, otherwise you will probably be randomly assigned a task as a punishment next month."
Wei Mao was afraid that Li Mengnan would not take this seriously, so he specially emphasized his tone.
You can pick and choose your own missions, but if you assign them randomly, you have to leave it to fate. If you are unlucky and get a high-level mission with a blue letter or above, then... there will be no more.
The HX Research Institute seldom makes any forced interference on its dreamwalkers, but that does not mean that they are left to their own devices.
"Okay, Brother Wei, I understand... I have already chosen the mission. When I get back, I will go directly there when I have time." Li Mengnan said nonchalantly. It would not waste much time to perform the mission, and he would not blame himself for this little thing.
trouble.
"Have you chosen a mission? Which one?"
Wei Mao was surprised by Li Mengnan's efficiency. Most newcomers would inevitably look forward and backward when choosing tasks, and few could make a decision on the spot.
"It's the one at Tunghai University. It happens to be on a familiar road and it's quite close." Li Mengnan said with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out to be that mission."
If Li Mengnan didn't mention it, Wei Mao would have almost forgotten that as early as two years ago, a girl committed suicide by jumping off the building in a female dormitory building of Donghai University. The dormitory where she lived also formed a small-scale illusion.
field.
Due to the limited remuneration provided by Tunghai University and the fact that this phantom force field has no tendency to expand further, this tasteless task has been ignored again and again. As a result, it has been delayed for more than two years, and the 610 dormitory is still there.
In a closed state.
The strength of the illusory force field is not high, and the only "ghost" in it is only in the middle of F-level. It does not pose any threat to any dreamwalker who has awakened the alien body. As a novice who is familiar with the process, the task is
It couldn't be more appropriate.
As for remuneration, it's really not that important. After all, the most important thing for newcomers when performing tasks is safety first.
"Logically speaking, it's best for a newcomer to have an experienced person accompany him on his first mission, but as the only leader of the Sanshan City branch, I really can't leave here, and our princess has to see dragons all day long.
If you don't see the end of the game, I can only feel wronged to you..."
Wei Mao patted Li Mengnan on the shoulder with an expression of "I'm optimistic about you."
Li Mengnan didn't bother to think about what was busy in this branch that was almost free. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked Wei Mao: "Brother Wei, I want to ask you something - let's
Are private jobs allowed here?"
"Private life?"
Wei Mao was very surprised and thought that this boy was really an ambitious man. He had not even done any serious work before he started thinking about taking on private work.
"The research institute does not have such a rigid rule, but I personally suggest that you report it to the research institute before taking on the job. If there is an accident, at least the institute can arrange for rescue...
Well, although the probability of success is not high, it is still somewhat of a hope, right?"
Li Mengnan knew that Wei Mao had misunderstood, shook his head and explained: "Brother Wei, that's not what I meant. A friend of mine is in some trouble, and I may need to help her..."
What he was referring to was the still unsolved Ju Xiaoxing case in Wu Ansu's hands. Previously, he had seen a special consciousness intrusion method in the files disclosed by the HX Research Institute on Dream Walker, which could be used to find out the hypnotic agent.
The identity of the real perpetrator of the rape case.
"Oh, that's it...this is considered a private matter, and it's two different things from private work." Wei Mao said with a relieved smile.
…
Originally, Wei Mao planned to drive Li Mengnan back, but Li Mengnan declined.
It's not that he was being too polite, the point was that he couldn't afford to lose that person in the Euonymus car.
After getting into a taxi returning home, Li Mengnan dialed Wu Ansu's cell phone.
"Hey, Meng Nan, I..."
"I'm working overtime at the police station, so it's not convenient for me to answer the phone. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly, right?" Li Mengnan said what Wu Ansu wanted to say first. Anyway, it was like this almost every time, and he could memorize it.
"...I'm sorry." Wu Ansu could naturally hear the helplessness contained in Li Mengnan's ridicule, but she didn't know how to answer and could only let out a silent sigh.
"Huh? Needless to say, I'm not calling you to accuse you or anything."
In fact, Li Mengnan felt that there was nothing wrong with him and Wu Ansu being like this at the moment. When the two of them started dating, he was impulsive and Wu Ansu was not unconsidered. A period of cold treatment would also help both parties to understand the relationship again.
Especially for Wu Ansu.
"The main reason I called this time was to ask about Ju Xiaoxing's case." Li Mengnan said.
Sure enough, when it came to work, Wu Ansu's attitude immediately changed, and he said in a calm tone: "The investigation of that case is still there, without any new clues. If this deadlock cannot be broken, this case may be
It will be sealed as an unsolved case..."
"How is Ju Xiaoxing's condition?"
"The girl has already been discharged from the hospital and has not left Sanshan City yet. If the case is sealed, she will probably be taken back to her hometown by her parents." Wu Ansu suddenly realized something when he said this, and said in surprise: "Mengnan, you
Are there any new clues?"
"It would be great if your emotional intelligence could be as high as your IQ." Li Mengnan muttered in a low voice and said, "There are no clues yet, but I have found a way to find them."
"Really? That's great!" Wu Ansu cheered. It seemed that this case had also brought considerable pressure to her. "Well, I have something to do tomorrow morning. You can pick me up at the police station at five o'clock in the afternoon.
, let’s have dinner together, and then go to Ju Xiaoxing’s place.”
"By the way, are you... free tomorrow?" It wasn't until he finished speaking that Wu Ansu remembered that he hadn't asked Li Mengnan about his time schedule.
"It's okay, let's leave it at that."
Getting along with Wu Ansu lasted more than a day or two. Li Mengnan had long learned to compromise with her schedule. It was not easy for this girl to have some private time, so she should be more accommodating if she could.
Just after hanging up the phone from Wu Ansu, Li Mengnan unexpectedly received a text message from the bank, saying that a remittance of 620,000 yuan had arrived.
Although the other party did not leave his name, it was not difficult for Li Mengnan to guess the identity of the remitter.
Nanlihe's pretty boy moved very quickly. He collected the remaining money in just one morning. It seemed that he was quite concerned about the happiness of his lower body.
Li Mengnan was very satisfied with Nanlihe's cooperative attitude this time, and casually replied, "I'll meet you for tea another day."
However, he didn't set a specific date. Anyway, it would make Nanlihe the pretty boy suffer more and save him from trouble in the future.
With this unexpected windfall obtained by blackmailing Nanlihe, Li Mengnan suddenly felt much richer, and it was almost time to repay Le Youyou's money.
The Chinese New Year is just one month away. As the old saying goes, debt cannot be postponed during the Chinese New Year, otherwise the whole coming year will be unsatisfactory.
Although Li Mengnan didn't believe this statement, he was debt-free and at least it was a good start to the new year.
When I dialed Le Youyou's phone, the voice on the receiver was a bit noisy. The other party seemed to be in a crowded place, and there were several girls laughing and laughing next to her.
"Hey, Le Youyou, where are you? I have something to ask you for."
"Oh, Li Mengnan? I'm eating Malatang at Xiangyang Road Food Street with a few friends who share my bed. You can come directly."
Le Youyou was still so straightforward and didn't even ask what Li Mengnan wanted to do with her.
…
When Li Mengnan arrived at Xiangyang Road Food Street, Le Youyou, a foodie, had already moved to a roadside barbecue stall again.
"Why did you choose such a place? It's really hard to find." Li Mengnan hung up the phone, took the plastic stool from Le Youyou, and complained casually.
"Is it hard to find? Why don't I think so? Maybe it's because I look so inconspicuous. If my sister Le Taotao were here, you would probably see her as soon as you entered the intersection..." Le Youyou snorted softly.
"You are wrong. If your sister was here, I would definitely see you first."
Le Youyou's face turned slightly red, she gave Li Mengnan a blank look and said, "Nonsense! I'm not as beautiful as my sister!"
"But your goal is bigger..."
Li Mengnan explained with an extremely serious expression.
"Hmph! I knew you would have nothing nice to say! Die!"
Le Youyou pouted angrily and punched Li Mengnan twice in the chest. Li Mengnan cooperated by taking a few steps back and covering his chest while vomiting blood.
"Okay, you guys are just flirting in the street, do you really think that we don't exist?"
There were three girls sitting at the same table as Le Youyou. One of them, a girl with a rather outstanding figure, stood up and teased the two of them with a smile.
"Who are these beauties?" Li Mengnan cast a questioning look at Le Youyou.
Le Youyou took Li Mengnan's arm and walked to the table, generously introducing him one by one: "Come on, let me introduce to you, these are the three beauties in our dormitory 608 - Zuxian, Jiaxin, and Zhiling.
, the boys chasing them in the school are so powerful that if they were killed, their corpses could circle the earth. If you want to take action, hurry up..."
"As expected, the name sounds like a beauty... Hello beauties, my name is Li Mengnan."
Li Mengnan smiled and extended his hand to the three girls. The other girls gave him face, and shook hands with him generously or shyly. They were not coy and easy to get along with.
Of course, these three thunderous names cannot be real names, they are just nicknames, or code names.
Zu Xian's real name is Nie Xiaoqian, which is only one character different from the heroine in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and has the same pronunciation. She is a girl with long flowing hair, delicate and introverted, and doesn't like to talk much.
This girl left the deepest impression on Li Mengnan among the three, not because of her unique name or her fresh temperament like a mountain daisy, but because of her almost too weak sense of presence.
Such a beautiful girl should be eye-catching, but she is easily ignored. This weird paradox occurs. I am afraid I can only say that this girl is definitely talented.
Jiaxin's real name is Yu Meixin, she is the girl who just teased Le Youyou and Li Mengnan.
This is a girl who is completely opposite to Nie Xiaoqian. She has an extremely outgoing personality and a pretty good figure and appearance. She has an 85-point foundation and can reach the 90-point level even with good makeup. She is the most dazzling presence among the girls here.
.
Moreover, Li Mengnan smelled a very familiar smell in this fashionably dressed girl, which was very similar to Minnie when they first met, but in a simple test version.
Zhiling's real name is Chen Lingling. Her appearance and figure are not outstanding. She is an ordinary face that you can't find in a crowd. The only thing she has in common with the beauty nicknamed "Big Beauty" is her natural baby voice.
.
However, it can be seen from her clothes that this girl should be similar to Le Youyou, coming from a relatively wealthy family.
"Then what's your nickname?"
The nicknames in a dormitory all come in sets, just like the "semen collecting quartet" in Li Mengnan's dormitory. At this moment, Li Mengnan was very curious as to which beautiful woman Le Youyou's nickname was.
"It's Dianxia... Haha, I didn't expect it, but you usually call me 'Your Highness'." Le Youyou turned up her nose proudly and laughed loudly, although this was not funny at all.
Li Mengnan has always admired her optimistic attitude that she can happily go to COS Pleasant Goat even if her head is smashed.
After introducing each other, everyone sat down respectively. Le Youyou loudly called to the waiter for a few bottles of drinks, and then ordered a bottle of beer for Li Mengnan alone, and then asked: "You have always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, tell me,
What do you want from me this time?"
"Looking at what you said, couldn't I just come here for a meal?" Li Mengnan said with a smile.
"I can be considered a bit valuable if I can be remembered." Le Youyou smiled and bumped him with her elbow. "Don't talk nonsense. If you want to talk about something, I don't know you. If you want to have a meal, you have a place.
