When Guard Department walked out, Lu Xin had already eaten a portion of Braised Pork Noodles and was well prepared for this mission.

Not only did he learn as much information as possible about the Dreamweaver-type ability user, he also applied for two special bullets.

Now that I am Level 3 Talent, I can apply for this kind of bullet.

Through the surprise training on Dreamweaver-type's abilities, he learned: The reason why Influence-type's ability users are difficult to deal with is because users of this type of ability rarely fight head-on with others. Their weird and unpredictable abilities make them extremely terrifying beings. Many times, the opponent is tortured to death by them without even knowing where they are.

According to the Special Purity Department's regulations, Spider-type would generally not be involved in similar things alone because it would be too much of a disadvantage.

Even if you want to pick it up, it will definitely be equipped with special bullets to try to make up for the shortcomings.

Lu Xin can follow, probably because his information has changed now.

Although many people already know that he is not just Spider-type, it is better to prepare special bullets.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw Vice President Xiao sitting on the front of the car, holding a piece of bread and munching on it.

Then I remembered that I had eaten up there, but this Vice President Xiao was still hungry.

He was so sincere that he refused to leave after waiting for so long, so he just bought a piece of bread and made it a meal... However, Lu Xin soon discovered that his bread was different from what he thought was a makeshift meal. Not only was it baked and crispy and soft, it even had dried fruits on it, was smeared with butter, and had a sausage in it.

I felt calm all of a sudden and walked straight to the car.

"Master Lu, do you have any idea?"

As soon as Vice President Xiao saw Lu Xin coming, he hurriedly stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth and ran to this side to open the door for Lu Xin.

"Master?"

Lu Xin turned to look at him with a strange expression.

"Yes..."

Vice President Xiao likes the appropriate title he just thought of, "Don't you know how to deal with that kind of thing?"

"There are no ghosts in this world."

Lu Xin explained to him seriously, "So the kind of thing you think of is definitely not the kind of thing you encountered."

Vice President Xiao was stunned for a moment and felt that he understood.

"So, what do we do now?"

He sat in the driver's seat diligently. At this time, he already had great respect for Lu Xin.

He didn't take his money, and after hearing that something was wrong with him, he immediately ran to the Guard Department. He must have come here to check the information, and after checking for so long, he probably didn't even eat. How could such a person not deserve his respect?

The only thing I feel guilty about is, why would such a person work in his own company?

"Where are you staying tonight?"

Lu Xin thought for a while and asked this Vice President Xiao.

"Don't... don't call me President Xiao, my name is Xiao Yuan, you can just call me Xiao Xiao..."

Vice President Xiao hurriedly reported his home, and then said, "I used to live at home, but because I wanted to... avoid my younger siblings, I excused myself from being busy at work and booked a suite at Blue Mountain Grand Hotel. However, because my parents went to Main City for business these days, and my younger siblings who are in school were sent here, I am considering whether to go home and live by myself..."

"No need."

Lu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the hotel today!"

Vice President Xiao was slightly nervous and hurriedly whispered, "Is it because what we are going to do has something to do with our younger brothers and sisters?"

Lu Xin shook his head and looked at Vice President Xiao strangely and said, "No, but your younger brother and sister came to the hotel to find you, but you abandoned them and ran home. Aren't you worried that your father and aunt would think that you abandoned them on purpose?"

"..."

Xiao Yuan didn't expect Lu Xin to think about things in such a humane way, so he could only nod his head.

Anyway, even if he went back to the hotel, he would never stay in the same room with his younger siblings, lest something happen to him.

In addition, now that Lu Xin is by his side, he does feel more at ease.

The car started and drove straight towards Blue Mountain Grand Hotel. After arriving here, Lu Xin couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

He had often passed by this place before, but he had never thought that one day he would be able to stay in such a grand hotel, let alone that someone could use busy work as an excuse to stay in such a hotel every day...

...Can I make as much money as I pay for a hotel room?

Thinking about this problem, he took another look at the car driven by Xiao Yuan and determined a problem.

... He should have.

In Satellite City, to see if someone has money, just one point is enough.

The less practical the car you drive, the more money you have.

Just like the Steel Monster he drove when he and Gecko went out of town. Although it was practical, neither he nor Gecko should be as rich as him.

"Little President Xiao, you are finally back. Luoluo and Tongtong have been looking for you..."

When Xiao Yuan and Lu Xin walked into the hotel one after another, his secretary hurriedly greeted him and asked him anxiously where he had been that day. Not only did he have a lot of official business waiting for him to deal with, but he also said that his younger brother and sister had been having trouble all day and wanted him to accompany them to go out to play.

But Xiao Yuan was not in the mood to say much to them. He just said that he had important things to do and would wait until tomorrow to deal with anything.

In addition, after walking a few steps, someone brought some food and two bottles of red wine to the room.

He was also thinking, Master Lu hasn't eaten yet...

However, his move immediately made the secretary glance at Lu Xin with some suspicion, his eyes flickering.

"Is this..."

"No way..."

"Unexpectedly..."

"..."

"..."

"To put your mind at ease, I will show you my ID now."

After going upstairs, he closed the door.

Lu Xin Looking at this hotel suite that is divided into two rooms inside and outside, with a luxuriously decorated living room and a bedroom with extremely high-end furnishings, a special cloakroom, a shoe cabinet, a refrigerator, a color TV, and even a set of brand-new digital video game consoles, I was a little surprised. This is just a room in a hotel, but the living room is bigger than my own home.

However, he did not show any fuss. After sitting down, he showed his ID to Xiao Yuan according to the standard procedure and said, "What you are encountering now should be a Mental Pollution incident. I don't have enough time to explain to you what Mental Pollution is, but you just need to know that I am the one who handles this kind of thing, and all you have to do is cooperate with me completely..."

"Is that okay?"

"..."

Seeing the red seal and the profound steel seal on Lu Xin's certificate, Xiao Yuan stood in awe.

Especially when Lu Xin said these words, his expression was serious and calm, which immediately dispelled all his worries.

He nodded vigorously, sweating on his forehead from nervousness. "I know... I know."

"Okay."

Lu Xin put away the certificate and said, "Go to bed and lie down!"

Xiao Yuan hurriedly agreed, put on his clothes, and lay on the bed, his body tense.

Lu Xin took out the revolver from his bag, checked it once, and put it back. Then he took out the document he took out from the Guard Department and began to look at it bit by bit and review it carefully to avoid trouble when handling it.

Xiao Yuan stretched like a stick on the bed. Five minutes passed before he asked softly, "Master Lu, what happens next?"

Lu Xin glanced at him in surprise. "Then you go to sleep..."

Xiao Yuan was confused. "Sleep?"

"Yes..."

Lu Xin I didn't expect the vice president's reaction to be so slow. "How can you dream if you don't sleep?"

"Ah this..."

Xiao Yuan sat up in a daze and looked at Lu Xin stupidly. "So Master Lu, you mean, let me go to bed quickly, and then when I have that... that particularly scary dream again, you can find a way to help me?"

Lu Xin frowned. "Since you know, why don't you sleep?"

Xiao Yuan blushed, but didn't dare to explain anything. He got up silently and whispered, "I'll clean it up."

Then while Lu Xin continued to read the file, he ran into the bathroom, took a shower, brushed his teeth, changed into pajamas, sprayed a little bit of water on his body, and then kicked a pair of fluffy slippers and ran to the bed. He snuck into the quilt, fluffed the pillow, and drank another glass of water. Then he pulled the quilt with both hands, lay on the bed and closed his eyes...

"Are the lives of rich people so troubled?"

Lu Xin complained in his mind, and then continued to look at the file.

At this time, the doorbell rang. Lu Xin went to open the door and saw the waiter pushing a silver trolley. There were several large and small cups and plates with stainless steel covers on it. There was also an ice bucket, and there were even two bottles of wine in the ice bucket.

Xiao Yuan's secretary followed the waiter, standing on tiptoes to look inside.

When she saw Xiao Yuan already lying on the bed, she said "swish" and her face turned green.

"Thank you..."

Lu Xin thought that if he was busy late at night, maybe he could have a midnight snack, so he agreed.

After all, because he made that phone call too quickly, even the reward he originally planned to give himself...

... Is a late-night snack too much?

Pulling the dining car in, the door was closed in the secretary's desperate eyes, Lu Xin was ready to see what was there.

But suddenly he felt something was wrong, turned his head sharply, and saw Xiao Yuan huddled under the quilt, blinking at him.

Lu Xin I suddenly thought, how embarrassing would it have been if I had just opened the plate directly?

Feeling helpless, he said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xiao Yuan's voice was even a little aggrieved. "No, I lie down now, really can't sleep?"

Lu Xin frowned slightly. "How can I observe your condition if you don't sleep?"

Xiao Yuan didn't dare to talk back. He lay on the bed for a while, then suddenly showed a bit of fierceness and jumped out of bed.

He quickly walked to the dining car, nodded solemnly to Lu Xin, and said, "It's up to you."

Then he grabbed a bottle of brandy chilled in the ice bucket.

He quickly pulled out the cork of the wine, raised his head and started pouring it into his stomach...

Lu Xin was so stunned that he just watched him pour a bottle of wine into his stomach, and then staggered.

"It's all up to you..."

Xiao Yuan shook, tried hard to straighten the wine bottle on the table, adjusted the position, and then wandered back to the bed.

He didn't even cover himself with a quilt, he just lay down like that, and after a while, he started snoring softly.

"Ah this..."

Lu Xin looked back at him, thinking about an important question:

"Is the wine he drank the more expensive bottle?"

"..."

This time it was confirmed that the vice president had fallen asleep, and Lu Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.

After looking at the documents for a while, he took out his cigarette case and took a cigarette with a gold filter tip and put it in his mouth.

First he turned on the exhaust device, then stood by the window and started smoking.

While smoking, I silently thought about the information I learned today about the "Dreamweaver-type" ability user, as well as my plan.

Preparation in the early stage is very important, and you should try your best not to leave any omissions.

Just look, when did the vice president start to enter that dream and something strange happened...

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a broken sound behind him. His heart trembled and he immediately turned his head.

Then he saw that Vice President Xiao actually got up again at this time.

Just when I was about to ask him why he wasn't asleep yet, I stopped talking and watched him quietly as he got up and walked forward with bare feet. When he reached the dining table, he reached out and picked up the silver dining cover. He raised his other hand high and then "chopped" the lid hard, once or twice. When his palm hit the lid, it made a muffled "puff" sound.

After chopping one, he showed a happy expression on his face, picked up another one, and continued to chop down.

Not long after, both of them had finished chopping, and he slowly squatted on the ground, slowly moving his palms downwards, then stretched out his two hands, as if he was taking out something, and rotated his right hand to the side, as if he was turning a switch.

Both hands made a rinsing motion, and at the same time he took a deep breath, with a very happy expression on his face...

...Lu Xin frowned slightly, knowing what he was doing.

He remained calm and watched quietly as Xiao Yuan was cleaned, then carefully divided, and then plated. There was even a tiny movement in the middle of unscrewing a small tube and squeezing something out, like a performance without a real object.

Finally, he sat on the edge of the bed, with an expression of excitement and satisfaction on his face.

He shook his hands lightly, then picked up the knife and fork, slowly forked something, and stuffed it into his mouth.

There was an expression of excitement and satisfaction on his face.

"Eating raw food?"

Lu Xin frowned and observed quietly:

"Judging from the previous account of Vice President Xiao, he was forced to eat these at first."

"But now, he is handling it happily and enjoying it, and his movements look very skillful..."

"So, did he lie from the beginning, or did he change from passive to active as he became addicted?"

Thank you everyone, today's update will definitely make everyone happy.
