Faced with Xu Bai's questioning, the landlord hesitated and couldn't explain why.

"Uh...that...Xu Bai...don't call the police first, right, listen to my explanation!"

The landlord's voice came intermittently from the mobile phone.

Xu Bai frowned slightly.

It seems that the other party is planning to give up.

"You go ahead and I'll listen to your explanation."

Xu Bai's voice was calm, and there was no hint of anxiety about losing valuable items.

The recording function is enabled as early as when the call is connected.

On the other end of the phone, the landlord cleared his throat and tried to organize his words.

"Last month. Someone from the heating company told me to check the heating pressure in the room. They said they contacted me after knocking on the door for a long time but no one answered."

"After I opened the door, I realized that no one was in the house. I just thought you were traveling far away, so I didn't pay much attention to it and didn't contact you."

"But a few days later, I wanted to see if you were back. When I went to your house, I found that all the valuables in your house had been stolen."

"Believe me, I really didn't take your things."

"and many more."

Xu Bai interrupted him.

I walked to a wooden cabinet in the living room, took out my camera, and took a photo.

There was a lock on the cabinet door. Xu Bai opened the lock when he checked the house. The two skis that were originally placed in the cabinet were now gone.

After doing all this, Xu Baicai said, "You mean there was a burglar in the house?"

"Yes Yes."

The landlord kept saying yes on the other end of the phone.

"Ah."

"You should make up your story better."

"According to you, after entering the house, the thief stole two of my skis without relying on keys or damaging the structure of the wooden cabinet in the living room?"

"If I remember correctly, I was trying to save trouble and did not change the lock. In addition to the key in my hand, there is also a spare key to the lock, which should be in your hand."

silence.

There was no sound from the phone.

No matter how fanciful the landlord's previous words were, no matter how well the story was crafted.

but........

Food is food.

When it comes to cooking, just practice more.

If you don’t know how to make it up, don’t make it up.

Stories are stories.

Facts are facts.

You have to treat the story as fact.

Then brother, why don't you dream?

........

The landlord was still silent, and Xu Bai didn't say anything else.

The facts are right in front of you.

After a long time, the landlord's voice came out on the phone again.

"Xu Bai, don't call the police. I've already stolen the stuff. I'll pay you whatever it costs."

The landlord never expected that Xu Bai, who had been missing for nearly two months, would suddenly appear.

"."

"So expensive? I only sold it for 1500!"

the landlord exclaimed.

"It's a plank."

Xu Bai emphasized.

"Well, I admit it. I'll pay you how much. My son is about to take the public exam this year. You must not call the police."

the landlord pleaded.

"Did you sell all the other things?"

In addition to the skis, Xu Bai's computers, tablets, watches, jewelry and other items were all missing from the house.

"Not yet. Except for the skis, your computer is at my house, the tablet is sold, the watch and jewelry are at my son's place, and all your other personal belongings are thrown away."

"Throw it away?!!!"

"There is a photo frame with a photo of me as a child and two middle-aged men in it, and you threw it away too?!!!"

Xu Bai's tone increased, and the murderous intent in his eyes surged out like a flood bursting from a dam.

The phone in his palm made a crunching sound when he squeezed it.

The meaning of that picture frame was extremely important to him.

As for the data in computers and tablets.

No need to think about it, it must have been erased long ago by reinstalling the system and flashing the machine.

But fortunately, Xu Bai has backups of some important photos in the cloud disk.

But there is only one photo in that photo frame.

Xu Bai remembers it very clearly.

It was taken when he and his adoptive parents, a family of three, were at the beach.

The film camera I used was in color and could be developed immediately after taking the photo.

Unfortunately, the camera broke later, and this photo became a memory of Xu Bai's childhood.

........

The landlord was frightened by Xu Bai's voice that suddenly rose an octave higher.

"What...what happened?"

"I thought something had happened to you outside and that the things in the house were unlucky, so I threw them all away."

"That shouldn't be important to you, right? I can compensate you, but don't call the police!"

The landlord heard something was wrong in Xu Bai's tone.

"Compensate?!!!"

Xu Bai's voice rose again.

"Crawl over and find your mother!!!"

The phone hangs up.

........

"Crench, crunch."

The splintered wood chips fell to the ground, making a slight rustling sound.

Xu Bai held on to the wooden cabinet door with his right hand. The cabinet door, which was about two centimeters thick, was forcefully scratched through with his fingers.

Xu Bai dialed a phone number that did not belong to any operator on the market.

The bell rings, indicating that no one is connected and that you need to press 1 to transfer.

It’s still the same as before, enter the password.

This number dialed the supernatural management agency and led directly to Wang Song.

"Hello? This is the Supernatural Management Agency. I'm Level 2 Agent Wang Song."

"It's me, Xu Bai."

"What's wrong? Do you need help with anything?"

Wang Song spoke calmly.

"Is such that........"

Xu Bai briefly told Wang Song his experience.

"You have to be calm, don't be impulsive, and don't attack ordinary people. We will definitely help you solve this matter!"

After listening to Xu Bai's story, Wang Song's tone was a little hasty.

He is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and justice.

Therefore, Wang Song joined the supernatural management organization after becoming a walker.

If the above situation really happened, even if Wang Song would not be punished, he would still be unable to cope with it.

"I know that I won't attack ordinary people, otherwise I wouldn't contact you."

Even though he was still angry inside, Xu Bai's tone was still very calm.

The landlord is an ordinary person, and Xu Bai will not use the abilities he gained in the Court of Origin on him based on his personal subjective emotions.

This is the present world. In addition to ordinary people, there are also walking people.

Xu Bai is now just a first-level walker.

But in this world.

Not saying whether it is the first level or the second level.

Judging from the establishment of the supernatural management organization to the present day.

There must be higher-level walkers sitting in this mysterious organization backed by the country.

This is not the Court of Origin, and there are no rank restrictions in the trial world.

This means that at the cost of taking action in this world, Xu Bai will directly provoke these high-level walkers. If he goes too far, the other party may directly clean him up in this world.

Xu Bai understands this, he is not that stupid.

In the Court of Origins, there are ways to resolve things, such as death matches.

In this world, we also have our own ways of dealing with things.
