Chapter 23 The Invisible Tenant One
On the streets of City K, a pale and thin man wandered aimlessly.

He had his pockets in his pockets, his waist was bent, and there was a cut scar at the corner of his mouth. Occasionally, passers-by would stop at his disgusting face for a few seconds.Then hurried away.

Of course, Chen Xiao doesn't care about these things, he has a very depressing thing now.

Speaking of it, although Chen Xiao has a lot of knowledge that other people don't have in his mind, and his observation ability and thinking speed are much higher than ordinary people, but in the end, his memory is blank. Now he knows about himself, except for one Except for the name, I don’t know anything about the rest. I don’t know my birthday, my parents, whether I have brothers or friends, where I am from, whether I went to school or not, and what I did before.In short, he doesn't even have a way to prove his identity!

This directly led to many difficult problems, such as now. He found that he could not rent a house!

In the past few hours, he first walked out of the "K City Center for Disease Control and Prevention", which is the "No. own taxi.

There is no way, whoever makes himself look like a good person.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Downtown."

"Uh, where in the city?"

"casual."

"."

After a few brief conversations, and an awkward and boring journey, Chen Xiao came to the center of this bustling yet f*cking city.Immediately afterwards, he began to face the "rental problem"!
"Ah, we must think of a way! In this way, I might be detained as an illegal immigrant." Chen Xiao sat on the side of the road, frowning and nagging, if it wasn't for this Wearing a suit still looks like that, just like a tramp.

Maybe it was because Chen Xiao was lucky, or maybe it was to keep this unpopular story going. In short, at this moment, the black phone in Chen Xiao's pocket suddenly vibrated.

"Huh? What's the situation?" Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback, and took out his mobile phone casually.

After that, he saw such a message on the screen.

"New optional mission"

Naturally, he opened it casually.

------------

D-level optional tasks:
A new D-level anomalous reaction occurred in XX block of K City, 3km away from your location.

There is no relevant information query yet.

Do you accept this task?
whether
------------

"It's so close to me. It feels like it was specially prepared for me." Chen Xiao muttered, and clicked "Yes" without thinking.

"Hey hey hey~ I didn't expect the first mission to come so soon!"

To be honest, it can be said that there are basically no field personnel who take the initiative to take the task, and Chen Xiao is probably the only person who is happy because he took the task. The depressed mood was swept away.

At this moment, the phone screen flickered a few times, and a picture similar to a map appeared, with Chen Xiao's current location marked on it. Two streets away from him, a small red dot kept blinking.

"Well, the design is very humane!" Chen Xiao praised in his heart, and couldn't wait to get up and walk according to the direction of the map.

A few minutes later, he came to an apartment building.Chen Xiao raised his eyes and took a look. He could see that the overall decoration was not bad. It was close to the street, and the first floor of the apartment building was a row of small shops. People were coming and going, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Well, at this moment, I feel that the most abnormal person in this scene is myself!" Chen Xiao habitually complained.

In fact, this is generally the case with newly discovered D-level anomalies, and there is nothing wrong with it at first glance.However, the Foundation's "abnormal phenomenon detectors" scattered in various locations and the "detection satellites" in the sky can only give an approximate location, and it is impossible to clarify what the abnormal items are.

And this is also the most difficult part of D-level missions.For example, there used to be an abnormal item, which was a cup. Anyone who drank the liquid in this cup, no matter what it was, even if it was a bubble of urine, it would be the taste of the drinker's favorite drink.At that time, in order to find this abnormal item, it took the poor field staff a full week. In the end, after all the hard work, he only got 20 point rewards, and he couldn't even afford a few titanium metal bullets.

Therefore, most people who perform D-level missions wait until the particularity of that thing has become obvious before starting this mission.Save yourself the hassle.

And Chen Xiao obviously doesn't care about these things, since he has no clue, he should use an incomparably great ability that human beings have evolved so far.

language!

That's right, you can't tell it at a glance, don't you know how to ask?
Ever since, without even thinking about it, Chen Xiao walked into the nearest coffee shop.

The shop is not big, and several dining tables are placed near the window. The sun shines on the floral cloth, and there is a sweet and peaceful smell in the air.

Chen Xiao walked slowly to the front of the bar, and in the process, habitually took a panoramic view of the surrounding details.

"Is there any cake?" He asked with the corners of his mouth as close as possible.

Behind the bar is a man in his twenties, a little fat, wearing a light pink apron, looking a little cute.He looked up at Chen Xiao's face, frowned slightly, and then immediately changed into a smiling face.

"Yes, sir, which one do you want?" He pointed to the menu on the bar.

Chen Xiao didn't even look at it: "The sweetest!"

After a while, the fat clerk put a small cake in front of Chen Xiao.And Chen Xiao also tried very hard to put on a polite smile, but a trace of disgust still flashed in Xiaopangzhi's eyes.

Chen Xiao didn't care, took a little cream with a spoon and put it in his mouth, seeming to enjoy it.

Suddenly, he suddenly said: "By the way, is there anything strange recently?"

Little Fatty was taken aback, his eyeballs rolled imperceptibly, and he blurted out without thinking: "No!" Then he glanced at Chen Xiao's eyes secretly, and added: "It's nothing strange!"

Chen Xiao took another spoonful of cream, pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Thank you!"

After that, he took the small piece of cake and sat on the innermost table.

This position can reverse the flow of people outside the window, and can also take the entire coffee shop within sight
"I didn't expect something strange to happen, and the clerk answered me without thinking, which means that he is always thinking about this matter. He is just a little confused, but not panicked. It has nothing to do with him. What? Could it be that there will always be a strange customer visiting this store these days?" Chen Xiao thought as he stuffed a big bite of cake into his mouth.

The flow of people outside the window is gradually thinning out, and the sun has left little brilliance after being bored. Chen Xiao is still sitting there, and there are 4 empty plates on the table.He has been sitting here for almost three hours, during which he has been observing the expressions of the shop assistants. In the past 10 minutes, Xiaopangzhi has always looked at the clock hanging on the wall intentionally or unintentionally. This is the 17th time. And more and more frequently.

"It seems that strange guest is coming!" Chen Xiao thought.

Sure enough, after a while, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and a girl walked in.

"Around 25 years old, simple ponytail, if the freckles on the face are removed, the overall length is not bad, living alone, staying at home for a long time, sitting in front of the computer for at least 10 hours a day, eating irregularly, recently Changed living environment, very distressed, and very tired." These messages suddenly appeared in Chen Xiao's mind. He chewed a big mouthful of cake excitedly, and unconsciously opened his mouth to smile, but fortunately, he restrained himself immediately.

"A cup of coffee." The girl said lightly, her voice was barely audible, but the chubby girl obviously knew what she wanted, so she turned around and started the coffee machine.

"Come here often, at least every day these days." Chen Xiao thought, and then, he saw her sitting in a seat very close to the door, with her back facing him, and took out a new but thick bag from her bag. notebook.

"Student? No, writer! I just started writing a new novel recently, and I'm still thinking about the plot or I'm stumped by some plot. However, what worries her is not this, but" Chen Xiao frowned slightly: "No, Have no idea!"

At this time, the clerk brought a cup of coffee to the girl, she nodded politely, didn't speak, just signaled to put it on the table.Then she ran a hand through her hair and exhaled deeply, annoyed.

Chen Xiao hesitated for half a second, picked up the half cake, got up and walked towards her.

And sat directly opposite her.

This is a very abrupt behavior, coupled with Chen Xiao's uncomfortable face, most people will immediately raise their vigilance to ask about the situation or leave directly.

But this girl didn't, she just glanced at Chen Xiao from the corner of her eye, without even asking.

"Hey, are you just ignoring me like this? Does this person have no sense of self-defense? Or is it a bunch of abnormal guys who write novels?" Chen Xiao was taken aback when he saw the girl's indifferent attitude. Mumbled a few words.

The scene was so awkward for a few seconds.

In the end, Chen Xiao felt that this was not the way to go: "I can't estimate this woman's thinking mode for the time being, but nine out of ten she is a natural dumb type, why don't we just cut to the point!" Chen Xiao thought in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he cleared his throat, meaning to tell the other party: "Listen, I'm going to start talking!"

Without talking, the girl opposite suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Xiao with puzzled eyes, as if he was sitting here just now.

"Who are you?" She asked cautiously.

The corners of Chen Xiao's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself: "Hey, you are single-celled, aren't you so slow?"

To complain, he immediately straightened the collar of his suit to make himself look like a positive person. At this moment, he decided to abandon all the dialogue processes that he had planned in the early stage, such as burying tricks and setting up bureaus.Because he had a hunch that this girl would most likely lose her mind during the conversation and not follow her own routine!
Therefore, Chen Xiao directly hit twenty feet and said without beating around the bush: "Hello miss, I'm here to help you!"
