Hearing what Xu Si said, Jiang Xin was not too disappointed. He had already known about this kind of thing before, and the reason why he asked the question was just in case. Now that he was rejected by Xu Si, it was considered
Something to be expected.
But when Jiang Xin's eyes moved, the topic suddenly changed: "By the way, do you have staff dormitories here?"
"Yes, how..." He answered smoothly, Xu Si's face was startled, and he smacked his lips: "You guys don't mean to live in the staff dormitory, do you?"
"You guessed it right." Jiang Xin immediately smiled without any embarrassment on his face: "I'm being targeted here, so it's obviously not safe to continue living outside. I think the company has a big business,
You should be able to lend me a place to stay for a few days."
"Hey, this..." Xu Si chewed the lollipop in his mouth: "You are a temporary worker at the headquarters, living in the employee dormitory of our branch..."
"Director Zhao agreed."
Upon hearing Jiang Xin's words, Xu Si immediately changed his mind and agreed readily: "Then I have nothing to say. I will let someone make arrangements for you later, and you can just stay here."
Jiang Xin knew that Xu Si was willing to let her stay overnight for the sake of Director Zhao, but at least it was a favor to him, so she still showed a smile: "In that case, thank you very much."
"No matter how polite you are, we are all employees of the company and we help each other." Xu Si smiled and patted Jiang Xin on the shoulder, and then said: "Since everything has been agreed, let someone take you to your dormitory to see
Look, I have something else to do, so I can’t greet you."
"Okay." Jiang Xin said nothing, just nodded slightly, and then moved into a dormitory that was still available with a courier.
Although Jiang Xin said that all he needed was a bed, it was obviously impossible for Xu and Si to arrange a dormitory for him just as Jiang Xin said. Instead, they got him a dormitory away from other people.
Empty dormitory in staff dormitory.
Whether it was to hide Jiang Xin's status as a temporary worker or to prevent Jiang Xin from easily finding out any information, these were necessary.
If you want to get some information, you can.
But according to Xu Si's current setup, no matter what news Jiang Xin gets, it will always be known to Xu San and Xu Si. This can be regarded as a small measure.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this part-time job is just a way to guard against house thieves." Standing in front of her dormitory door, looking at the dormitory where no one was active at least ten meters away, Jiang Xin couldn't help but have a hint of amusement on her face, and then she opened the door and left.
Went in and sat quietly on the bed.
After getting rid of the machine skills he had just acquired and not being greedy, Jiang Xin's ability list was once again expanded a lot after he defeated the dozen or so strangers from Hua Shan who came to monitor him.
But compared to before, Jiang Xin's ability does not appear bloated.
The abilities of strangers are based on Qi. Although there are no eight gates, most of them coincide with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and all abilities in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams may eventually be integrated with the ability of Fenghou Qimen.
As for those abilities that cannot be simply summarized by the Five Elements and Bagua, such as the Eagle Claw Skill, they can be integrated into physical skills.
But these all take time, and now, Xu Si has provided him with a safe place to live. Before Zhou Tong comes back, a few days should be enough for him to complete a new update on his abilities.
Time passed and the sky outside quickly turned dark. Xu Si, who was returning home from get off work, looked in the direction of Jiang Xin's dormitory with some strange eyes: "Hey, is this kid really planning to lock himself in the room and never leave?"
"Isn't this a good thing?" Xu San pushed up his glasses: "This also saves us a lot of effort."
"Just a sigh of relief." Xu Si shrugged: "Okay, go back and tell that boy Zhang Chulan that you and your baby should not show up in the company in the past few days."
"Although this kid has not shown any interest in Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan now, he still needs to be on guard against others..."
At night, in a single-family villa.
"What? That man named Jiang Xin came to the company branch? Did you arrange a place for him?" Zhang Chulan's voice couldn't help but become louder: "Third brother, fourth brother, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry, things are not what you think." The expression on Xu Si's face was not solemn: "That kid came here to see Zhou Tong this time, and according to him, he has been targeted recently, so he
I’m going to stay for a few days.”
"We have been thinking about it for the past two days. Regardless of other things, you and the baby should not go to the company for the next few days. If anything happens, I will come back and tell you. This way, you don't have to worry about him having too much contact with the baby."
"In this way, since it won't affect Sister Bao'er." After hearing the answer given by Xu Si, Zhang Chulan calmed down again, and then asked other questions: "But who is Zhou Tong?"
"A disciple of the Tianshi Mansion who was poisoned." Xu San replied: "His life experience is rather complicated."
"His ancestor was a man named Zhou Quan. It's okay to mention this name, but you should know where he came from - Qinghe Village."
"Qinghe Village..." Zhang Chulan thought about it for a moment: "That person who practices Miao Jiang's voodoo...wait a minute, one of the thirty-six thieves back then seems to have practiced voodoo."
"Yes." Xu San nodded: "Wei Shufen of Qinghe Village, one of the thirty-six thieves."
"Qinghe Village, Zhou Quan, Thirty-Six Thieves Wei Shufen, Gu Du..." Zhang Chulan mixed these words in his mind, and finally came up with a somewhat unbelievable idea: "Third brother, is it possible that this Zhou
The poison on Tong's body was inflicted by Wei Shufen?"
"I don't know." Xu San shook his head: "Most of that part of history has been buried in the past, and even the company has difficulty discovering the connection. Without a definite formation, they cannot be connected."
"Furthermore, the poison called Qianrihong on Zhou Tong's body was not even able to be detoxified by the people in Qinghe Village, so we cannot rule out that Zhou Quan offended some Gu Master."
"Zhou Tong's father died due to a poisonous attack, and he was entrusted to the Tianshi Mansion since he was a child. He became a disciple of Liang Fuguo, the eighth disciple of the old Tianshi. He came down the mountain not long ago to try to find a way to cure Qianrihong.
.”
"Although the information on him is relatively secretive, he is still well-known in the alien circle. Therefore, it is indeed possible that Jiang Xin knows what happened to Zhou Tong. There is nothing strange about it."
"Then what did he mean when he said he was being targeted?"
"This is what you need to pay attention to." At this point, Xu San's face became serious.
"The company has already investigated Jiang Xin's identity. Although we can't get his information here, we can tell from previous clues that this guy is probably a half-way monk like you."
"It stands to reason that such a person shouldn't have many enemies in the alien world, but he is being targeted."
"One possibility is that he has indeed offended someone in the alien world, and they have come to seek revenge. However, we still have to consider another possibility, that is, the person who is targeting him is not targeting 'Jiang Xin', but
It’s a temporary worker.”
"Although there is no evidence for this kind of speculation, it is good to be cautious. This is also the second reason for letting you and your baby stay at home for a few days. If you are really targeting temporary workers, at least you will not be the first to find them.
Come on you."
From Xu San's words, Zhang Chulan immediately heard some other meanings.
Obviously, according to this person's prediction, if someone really targets the temporary workers, the people who get shot will most likely not be him and Sister Bao'er who live in seclusion. In this case, Jiang Xin will be the first to take the hit.
They leave ample reaction time.
Putting aside everything else, from his own standpoint, Zhang Chulan felt that this decision was quite good, but at the same time he had to consider another possibility: "How to determine whether it is just targeting him alone?"
"It all depends on what can be found out in the end." Xu San smiled slightly: "Although the company will not interfere too much with temporary workers, people have reported the problems back, and it is necessary to investigate. After all, last time
The group of people who rescued Ma Xianhong have not been found yet."
"Although the possibility is slim, considering the previous cases where you were attacked, it is possible that you were attacked by a group of people."
"But you don't want to get involved in the details. If we really come to any conclusion, Si'er and I will tell you."
Seeing what Xu San said, Zhang Chulan nodded silently, then turned around and saw Feng Baobao, who still had a dull look on his face, with serious eyes.
Time flies, and as Jiang Xin settles down in the company's dormitory, even those from the Qiuxian Sect dare not approach such a place easily.
They can still distinguish the difference between doing whatever it takes to achieve the goal and risking death in a meaningless way. For them, time is enough and what they want is to be foolproof.
In this case, the situation couldn't help but become silent until Zhou Tong returned to the company after finishing his field work. When he saw Xu San and Xu Si: "Hey, it failed again."
Seeing Zhou Tong like this, Xu Si asked casually: "What's wrong? Still not found?"
"No." Zhou Tong shook his head.
Over the years, when he was on the mountain, the Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion had been trying to find ways to cure him of the poison. When he was at the foot of the mountain, Xu Sanhe and Xu Si kept asking him to go to possible places in the name of field work.
Antidote, but ultimately found nothing.
As time passed, even he himself felt that there was no hope of detoxification.
"Don't be discouraged, you still have time, keep looking." Hearing Zhou Tong's sigh, Xu Si comforted him, and then mentioned Jiang Xin: "By the way, there is someone looking for you, saying that he may be able to solve your problem.
Do you want to try the poison on your body?"
"Look for me to detoxify?" After hearing Xu Si's words, Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, with a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Real or false?"
"I don't know." Xu Si shrugged: "He has never used it in front of us, but he is still an acquaintance. I will let you know. Whether you want to accept it or not depends on your own thoughts."
acquaintance...

After listening to Xu Si's words, Zhou Tong was silent for a moment, then raised his head, the suspicion in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by determination: "In this case, I want to meet him."
"Anyway, no matter how bad my situation is, it won't be any worse. If there is hope, I will still give it a try."
As he spoke, he smiled to relieve himself: "You can't cure the disease and you can kill me early."
Xu and Si did not answer, but stood up: "Since you have made a decision, let me see him first."
The crisp ringtone of the mobile phone rang in her ears, which made Jiang Xin wake up from his cultivation state. When he pressed the answer button, Xu Si's voice came out: "Hey, Jiang Xin, Zhou Tong is back. Do you want to come first?"
Meet him."
"Okay." Jiang Xin agreed simply: "I'll take it now."
Ten minutes later, in the office, Jiang Xin successfully met Zhou Tong, who was covered in Qianrihong. Before the poison had spread, Zhou Tong looked no different from ordinary people, and he looked full of energy.
After a brief chat, Jiang Xin and Zhou Tong left the office and headed to an empty activity room.
After all, he was the one who was sent a letter of recommendation by the Heavenly Master himself. Zhou Tong was considered to be half a relative. Even though it was his own hospital, Xu San and the others still had to take some care of him.
Just like now, if the treatment location is placed in a relatively remote activity room, if there is any problem, people can be rescued in time.
After closing the door, Jiang Xin looked back at Zhou Tong, who was wearing a blue coat and had a somewhat uneasy expression: "I told you in advance, I'm just trying it, but I'm not completely sure. The origin of the Qianrihong you picked is unknown.
Small."
Hearing this, Zhou Tong's eyes moved slightly: "You know the origin of the poison in my body."
"I know." Jiang Xin nodded: "But it's better not to tell you. And one thing I agreed on in advance is that if I do it, it may indeed cure your illness, but it may also worsen the condition.
"
"If you mean to save your life and wait for others to solve your problem safely, then the most I can do is explore your body. Once I start treating you, I basically won't be able to stop."
"High risk, high reward, you think about it yourself."
Jiang Xin didn't want to lose an excellent experimental subject, but it was better to make certain things clear in advance.
And just as he expected, Zhou Tong, who had experienced countless disappointments, did not shrink back from these words.
He did come down the mountain following the title of "Expert", but Qianrihong is difficult to cast and detoxify even more difficult. And with the loss of Qinghe Gu, the solution is not as easy as imagined.
It takes a full three years to refine Thousand Sun Red, and the time required to unlock this toxin is not short. In addition, a lot of materials need to be collected, which will take some time.
The term "long-term disease cure" is not very appropriate when it comes to poison. Even though his body has been poisoned for decades, Zhou Tong still can't distinguish the risks of the two solutions. Naturally, he wants to try this already solved method.
The solution in front of you.
