Lu Xi glanced at the time of the missed call and found that it was about two hours after they had lunch.

From this, we can guess that the system should have completed the negotiations at that time and wanted to report the results to me.

But I didn't respond.

Lu Xi stood up, threw her phone on the bed again, started to tidy herself up, and prepared to go see what was going on.

The negotiations between the two parties lasted for quite a long time. She was extremely curious about what they discussed and which side made concessions.

However, the system stopped working after making two calls. Lu Xi guessed that he might have come to her room, confirmed whether his dear host was still breathing on his own, and then went back.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to practice peacefully until now without any movement.

As Lu Xi stepped out of the room, the passionate sound of guitar floated into her ears.

She followed the sound and came to the living room, where she saw System sitting on the sofa, leisurely eating snacks, and Long Ruilin playing the guitar attentively beside him.

The kittens inside were also having fun in the living room, even jumping gently to the rhythm of the music as if they were dancing.

Under the soft light, Lu Xi's sharp eyesight also captured the cat's hair fluttering gently in the air, dancing in the air.

The scene was so lively and lively, completely different from the cold and deserted atmosphere at home before.

Lu Xi looked at this scene and felt relieved. Although she usually liked quietness, it was just that she didn't have the opportunity to be in the lively atmosphere.

Gary should be warmer and more lively, that's what a home is.

But at the same time, Lu Xi felt a little at a loss as to where to start - the ground was not only littered with jumping kittens, but also with their toys, knocked-over mats, messy boxes, and so on.

This scene was as if the house had just been robbed.

Lu Xi clapped her hands helplessly, making a crisp sound, successfully attracting the attention of several people. "That... these..."

She pointed at the debris on the ground, signaling the two men to take some action.

The sound of the guitar stopped immediately. Long Ruilin waved his hand lightly, and the clutter in the living room seemed to be given life and began to return to its place automatically.

Even the naughty kittens seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, and they were neatly lined up in two rows, standing obediently.

"OK, that's it. Come and sit down, sister." Long Ruilin said to Lu Xi with a smile, with a hint of apology in his tone.

I had so much fun that I made the house look like this.

Lu Xi was satisfied. She picked up a bag of snacks from the table and casually sat on the sofa with her legs crossed.

"I see you two are ready. What's the situation now?" she asked curiously. It was almost the agreed time.

The system swallowed a mouthful of snacks and replied, "Liu Feng and his team have already agreed, so we are free tonight!"

When Lu Xi saw the missed call, she had already roughly guessed the result.

However, now that he heard the system's personal confirmation, he still showed his happiness and gave the system a thumbs up.

"Great! Comrade Ali works so quickly."

Lu Xi was still a little curious. Liu Feng and the others were so relaxed and allowed the three of them to move freely tonight. She felt that there was something fishy going on.

"How did you guys talk about it? How could you reach a consensus so easily?" she asked curiously.

At the same time, he looked at the system carefully and found that the way he heard this sentence did not sound like he had just experienced a two-hour long verbal sparring.

The system shrugged lightly, with a hint of helplessness on its face. "How else can we talk? Of course we can't tell them the truth, otherwise how can this matter be settled so easily?"

He spread his hands, as if trying to find an excuse for his helpless behavior.

However, after catching Lu Xi's curious and inquiring eyes, he quickly added.

"But don't be too surprised. Everyone has some little secrets, right? Besides, not letting them send anyone over is for their own good. After all, we are going to face trouble this time, and we can't let those ordinary people drag us down."

Although Rong Yu and the others are indeed very powerful, their abilities are only within the scope of ordinary people.

The system they are facing today and the people behind it are probably not easy to deal with.

Therefore, it is better to keep some things hidden from them.

After listening to the system's explanation, Lu Xi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the system's approach.

This is also done for the sake of the overall situation. After all, they are now facing an unknown person and system, which is full of uncertainty.

But they didn't expect that the system would hide the truth from Liu Feng's side.

But then again, in order to get Liu Feng and the others to agree to this action, the system must have embellished their plans for tonight, or made up a completely new story.

Given the character of the system, Lu Xi is more inclined to believe the latter, because this will not only better cover up the truth, but also reduce unnecessary trouble and explanations.

Although this "white lie" seemed a little insincere in terms of cooperation, they did not harm the other party's interests and had no intention of harming them.

Therefore, Lu Xi did not think that the system was going too far. Instead, she felt that this was a wise choice for them to make under the current circumstances.

Well, these are just Lu Xi's self-comfort and self-psychological suggestion.

After all, she and the system are now like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so they naturally have to support each other and face the current situation together.

"It's true that we can't bring anyone else with us. The three of you are enough."

After Lu Xi finished speaking, with a hint of curiosity and expectation, she asked the system: "Come on, come on, tell me quickly, what kind of cover story did you make up for tonight's operation?"

The system gave Lu Xi a look full of tacit understanding, as if to express its satisfaction with his question. He had indeed remade a story.

"Hehe, it's not really a made-up story and it's not that complicated. I just told them that colleagues from other systems were coming to visit and learn, and to exchange work experiences.

After all, if other systems want to learn from us, we can’t refuse them, right? So they readily agreed. ”

It's that simple.

In this way, they can conceal their true intentions and openly open up the supermarket's time and space channel. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?

After listening to the system's explanation, Lu Xi felt that this reason was quite reasonable and very consistent with the system's style.

"Well, that's a good reason. It seems like something you can come up with." She nodded with a smile and continued, "Then when your 'colleague' comes, remember to leave something behind. You also have to prepare in advance."

"Don't worry, brother. I know what's going on and have been prepared for this." The system agreed without hesitation. He had already planned it out.

During that afternoon time, he took the opportunity to exchange ideas with other colleagues, ask for some advice, and exchange some things.

He planned to organize the experience he had learned into a report and send it to Liu Feng tomorrow, so that he could both complete the task and appear to be very attentive.

Seeing that the system agreed readily, Lu Xi thought that the system must have come up with a solution, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.

It's just right that the system can take care of some things, so she, the host, can be more relaxed.

She is now somewhat grateful for Ali's character.

Lu Xi continued to ask: "Since you were discussing something with Liu Feng, and it was completed so quickly, where did you go this afternoon? Why did you take so long to come back? It was almost two o'clock when I saw you call me."

When the system heard this question, his whole mood dropped. He sighed and looked a little frustrated.

"It was because of those people yesterday. They were in the office when I knocked on the door, and there were some other people too. Liu Feng introduced us to each other.

Then they were like mice seeing rice, asking me how I got them back. It took me a lot of effort to get rid of them. It was so annoying! "

The system had already checked the information of those people when they went to the supermarket on the first floor yesterday. They were all good people with a red heart of patriotism, and there was nothing unusual.

Otherwise, he would have been scared by being asked so many questions.

Lu Xi didn't expect that the system would encounter those people from yesterday so quickly, and couldn't help but chuckle.

It is normal for them to be curious when such a magical thing happens to them. It is also normal for people like them to have a more inquisitive mindset than others.

"Well, this is indeed a bit troublesome. But don't take it too seriously. They may just be curious. If you don't tell them, they may not do it again in the future."

Fortunately, she didn't encounter it and no one asked her about it, otherwise she would not be able to resist it.

The system nodded, of course he knew.

But I just feel that we will be colleagues in the same base in the future, and he often goes to the research building, so we will see each other every day. It is really not easy to give him the cold shoulder.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He hoped that Liu Feng could do a good job for them.

No matter how curious you are, you must abide by the rules, otherwise you will not be able to stay in this base.

The system put away some of the thoughts in its mind and continued to talk about what it wanted to say to Lu Xi.

"Do you still remember Lu Xun who woke up yesterday? He probably has no memory of what happened in the cabin. But like everyone else, he still showed great curiosity about us.

But that's not the point. I always feel like there's something wrong with him, but it's so subtle that it's hard for me to pinpoint exactly what's wrong."

Recalling the meticulous examination of Lu Xun conducted on the first floor yesterday, the system did not find any obvious abnormalities in his information.

Therefore, the system infers that this "not quite right" feeling should not come from Lu Xun's identity problem.

The problem is that he himself couldn't clearly explain what was wrong with Lu Xun, which was a bit strange.

It was just an inexplicable intuition that made the system feel that this person seemed to be hiding some unknown secrets.

At this moment, Long Ruilin, who had been listening quietly on the side, suddenly interrupted.

"Ah, are you saying that there's something wrong with Lu Xun? I used my spiritual sense to check his body yesterday, and I didn't find anything abnormal. His physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, but other than that, he's no different from an ordinary person."

The system continued to reason along Long Ruilin's lines, "If what you said is true, then there is nothing wrong with his body, and his identity is normal, so what else is wrong?"

Lu Xi couldn't help but join their discussion. Although she didn't fully understand the details, it was fun to think about it.

"There is another point. We all say that those powerful people are often called 'geniuses', 'evildoers' or 'lunatics' by those in their fields.

Lu Xun has achieved such a great success at such a young age. Could it be that his spiritual level or way of thinking is beyond ordinary people and different from normal people? That's why you feel something is wrong?"

Having stayed in the base for such a long time, Lu Xi has come into contact with many young and promising talents, but there are indeed only a handful of people like Lu Xun who have reached such a high level at such a young age.

The series of achievements listed in his brief profile made Lu Xi feel a little dazzled. No wonder they didn't let him go.

"Well, this is indeed an entry point worthy of further exploration." The system was touched by Lu Xi's words, and a hint of excitement flashed in its eyes.

He immediately took Long Ruilin's hand and said anxiously, "Come on, Longlong, we haven't checked his mental space yet. Maybe those things that are wrong are hidden there."

Seeing this, Lu Xi quickly stretched out her hand to stop them and said, "Hey, wait, wait, wait, the transaction is about to start. Can you two not be so anxious and wait a little longer?"

It's too hasty to just leave without saying goodbye.

However, the system and Long Ruilin were obviously attracted by this new discovery and completely ignored Lu Xi's attempts to stop them.

Their figures instantly disappeared from the sofa, leaving only Lu Xi alone in the living room, with a hastily left sentence: "We will be back soon."

Lu Xi's outstretched hand froze in the air, and finally slowly fell down.

She sighed helplessly, and then she lay down on the sofa, muttering to herself, "Why are you in such a hurry? There's no need to rush. Really, why can't you be so patient when you encounter something interesting?"

Forget it, let's wait for a while. There's nothing special about these two people, they just move very quickly. I guess they will be back in a few minutes.

Lu Xi held the kitten curled up in her slippers in her arms, picked up her mobile phone, opened the short video app, and planned to kill some time.

As a result, before she finished watching the third video, the system and Long Ruilin suddenly appeared on the sofa. The speed was so fast that she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.
