Chapter 845: Position
The entire meeting room fell silent again.
They were considered the backbone of the special department.
Some had special powers, some had extraordinary intelligence, and some worked for the God of Fortune Group. Everyone had a very important significance to the special department.
Jing Fei had always been in charge of the police department and could not leave.
Although Lu Chao was Xiang Huai’s assistant, he was actually the one who understood Xiang Huai’s intentions the most. He was very suited to mobilizing everyone to various positions and controlling the overall situation.
There was no need to mention Qian Xin.
He did not need to do anything every day and just had to stay at the God of Fortune Group. Any investment by the God of Fortune Group would not fail and would always be filled with luck.
Money’s importance need not be highlighted.
As for Ai Si and the rest, they were at the top in the special forces. If they were allowed to go, they would indeed be able to return in five or so years.
But during their absence, what if a strong enemy invaded?
Moreover…
Jing Fei frowned. “Vulture from the Superhuman Organization hasn’t shown up yet. We can’t let our guard down.”
Qian Xin kicked the chair in frustration. “This won’t do, and that won’t do. Then what should we do? We can’t send eight ordinary people to die, right?”
There were often competitions in the International Esper Academy.
Hence, they only needed the best talents, and while others could technically go, whether they could come out alive was another matter.
Just as everyone was worrying, a cold voice sounded. “I’ll go.”
Everyone turned around in unison and saw Xue Xi striding in.
Her hair had gradually lost color and turned a little dim. It was no longer as red, but it was still full of vigor.
Her cold eyes swept across everyone present. “You guys can’t leave, but I can bring a few people with me. Half a year. Give me half a year and I promise to bring every single one of them back.”
The room fell silent.
Jing Fei and Lu Chao looked at each other and said, “Sister Xi, although we know that you can fly and seem to be able to heal, these two special abilities are not very formidable. Sister Xi, you…”
Before he could finish speaking, they saw Xue Xi lightly stamp her feet. “What about this?”
They looked at her in confusion.
Qian Xin asked foolishly, “What’s wrong?”
Jing Fei was the first to react. “There’s no sound?”
Lu Chao exclaimed, “Time Freeze?!”
Xue Xi waved her hand and time resumed.
She nodded. “Since I have this ability, I can at least bring along the other seven and protect them. How about that?”
Everyone shut their mouths.
Other than Boss, the most formidable person in the special department was Ai Si. He could freeze water into ice!
Even the air was filled with water vapor that could be turned into a dense ice formation. If he wanted to kill someone, it would leave no traces.
However, everyone knew that the person who had evaded them for more than ten years had the most powerful special power other than Boss.
Whether it’s freezing water or starting a fire, it would take time. But what if the other party didn’t even give you time?
Other than Boss, who was immune to all special abilities, it could be said that no one could defeat that person.
Sister Xi actually had this special ability?
Jing Fei exclaimed, “Sister Xi, you actually have three special abilities?!”
Lu Chao was also in a daze. “The most formidable person I’ve ever seen is someone who has two. You actually awakened three at the same time?”
Xue Xi knew that she could not tell anyone about her “Learning” special ability. It’s true that she felt that Xiang Huai was exaggerating when he said everyone would want to snatch her for it.
However, Xue Xi had always been able to do more than one thing.
She did not admit or deny it. “This matter is settled.”
There was actually not much meaning for her to stay in the country.
At least until now, she had no fixed position in the special department.
Jing Fei and Lu Chao looked at each other and rejected it. “No.”
Boss had already made a sacrifice for the special department. Sister-in-law had to be protected by them.
Xue Xi seemed to have seen through their thoughts. She lowered her eyes and said calmly, “I’m not doing this for him.”
Everyone was stunned.
Xue Xi continued, “Because I’m Chinese and a member of the special department, I have to go. Only I’m the most suitable.”
When Jing Fei and Lu Chao heard this, their eyes turned red.
Others might not know, but they knew that Sister Xi had been coaxed when she first joined the special department.
Actually, she had never felt a sense of belonging to the special department.
But now, she finally admitted that she was a part of everyone.
Xue Xi then said, “It’s settled.”
…
Xue Xi wanted to go to the International Esper Academy and choose seven companions at the same time. This news quickly spread in the special department.
As for who the other seven candidates were going to be, everyone started arguing.
It was not that they were unwilling to go. On the contrary, they were all fighting to go. For China and for the special department, they were willing to give up everything!
This gave Jing Fei and Lu Chao a headache.
Looking at the people who came to register, the two of them fell silent. Do they think they’re going to go on a battle with Sister Xi?
No! They were actually going on a trip with Sister Xi overseas!
The corners of their lips twitched. In the end, they simply handed the right to choose to Xue Xi.
Everyone in the special department was stunned.
Xue Xi was not here at all. How could she be found?
No one had added Xue Xi’s WeChat!
…
The first call Xue Xi received was from Gao Yanchen.
Little Flame was very silent and only said, “I’ll go with you.”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Gao Yanchen fell silent and hung up.
After the horse-faced man in black was arrested, their side also retrieved the SSS-level files from back then and indeed found that Gao Yanchen’s parents were spies from the special department.
After that, Jing Fei and Lu Chao invited Gao Yanchen to join them again.
Gao Yanchen explained that it was not that he did not want to join but that their boss would not let him.
One time, when Xiang Huai called outside, Xue Xi asked him why this was so.
Xiang Huai sighed. “Elder Gao begged me.”
Xue Xi understood. “Then if Elder Gao agrees, you won’t have any objections?”
“Of course. His parents were from the special department. Logically speaking, he was born a member.”
Hence, Gao Yanchen and Elder Gao seemed to have returned to the past.
However, this time, Elder Gao did not stop him. Instead, he agreed.
Gao Yanchen officially joined the special department.
Hence, Little Flame was the first to be added to the list by Xue Xi.
Then, there was Xiao Xiao.
She must have gotten Xue Xi’s phone number from Qian Zheng. While on the phone, she was eating. “Sister Xi, I want to try that disgusting biscuit from the International Esper Academy.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Xiao Xiao’s hand was crippled during the rescue. However, after that, Xue Xi found someone from the Superhuman Organization who got captured.
They were the ones who’d caused the nuclear explosion, so when the pain was transferred over, she did not feel any guilt.
Xiao Xiao’s hands had recovered, and she admired Xue Xi even more.
Of course, she ate even more.
Helpless, Xue Xi added Xiao Xiao to the second spot.
The third person who called was Yu Da. He spoke more straightforwardly. “Fang Fang and I want to go with you.”
The two of them had also joined the special department.
Four people.
There were still three spots left.
She did not expect that the next person to call would be Cen Bai…
