Chapter 038 New Cohabitant
The next day, when Su Ming was woken up by the alarm clock, he was the only one left in the dormitory. Chu Xiaobai, who never went to work, was nowhere to be seen today. The dormitory was empty and the quietness seemed unreal.
Su Ming picked up his phone and checked the time. Sylvie had sent him a text message at six-thirty, asking him to set off for the Couple's Secret House today.
Su Ming was confused for a moment and scratched his head. The text message did not mention who his partner was, so he should have gone to the couple's secret room with the minister.
He put on his uniform, called Xia Xiaoyu, and came to the office of the Special Attack Department.
Early in the morning, in the huge office, besides him and Sylvie, there were only a few unfamiliar faces that kept rotating.
Those were temporary workers who were called in to help, not real members of the Special Attack Department.
There seemed to be very few permanent members in the Special Attack Department. As far as Su Ming knew currently, apart from himself and the director, the only members of the Special Attack Department were Xiaobai and the captain who had never shown up.
However, it is also possible that there are actually a lot of people in the Special Attack Department, but many of them are out on missions and not working in the office.
"Just in time, follow me."
Sylvie called Su Ming into the cubicle next to her. She leaned back on the chair and motioned for Su Ming to sit down as well.
"Now I'm going to tell you some things to note about the couple's secret room. Listen carefully."
“It’s erected.”
"Very good, let me first tell you about the characteristics of the Secret Couple's House. Although the Secret Couple's House will force two people living together into a state of forced love, it cannot control the self-awareness of the residents.
That is to say, although two people living together love each other, they can completely restrain their behavior for various reasons. "
"I guessed it long ago. If this house can turn the people who live in it into animals in estrus, the Investigation Bureau would not use it to test the abilities of its employees." Su Ming said.
Sylvie nodded with satisfaction. "Then I won't say much about the rest. I'll send you the follow-up information. Someone will come to take you and Flora to the couple's secret house later. After you move in, just follow the information I sent you."
Su Ming nodded habitually, but immediately realized something and his expression changed suddenly.
He looked up at Sylvie and asked in surprise, "Minister, who did you just say was going with me?"
"Flora."
"Why? Flora, she is..."
"She joined the Investigation Bureau yesterday. Given her resume, she didn't need a test, so she went through the same simple process as you did. Now she 's a full-time employee of Investigation Bureau 7. It just so happens that both of you are newcomers, so you happened to take the test together." Sylvie said expressionlessly.
Su Ming was stunned. Wasn't Flora a noble? Why did she join the Investigation Bureau?
He had heard from Xia Xiaoyu before that nobles would hardly join the Investigation Bureau because they were more inclined to gain status advantages through accumulation of resources and bloodline inheritance.
It would definitely be more disadvantageous than beneficial for nobles to join the Investigation Bureau. Regardless of the extremely high mortality rate of Bureau employees, the unspoken rule that the Bureau would give special "care" to nobles would be enough to discourage most nobles.
Since the establishment of the Investigation Bureau, only those with special abilities have become nobles by joining the Investigation Bureau. There has never been an example of someone becoming a noble and then rejoining the Investigation Bureau.
"Don't just stand there, let's get going. The special bus to the eastern suburbs leaves at 7:30 in the morning and takes an hour to get to the couple's secret house. If you miss the special bus, you can only take the subway , and you have to change trains several times on the way. You don't want to waste the whole morning on the subway, do you?" Sylvie said.
Su Ming originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that time was running out, he had to give up asking questions and quickly got up and ran out.
As soon as he went out, he bumped into Xia Xiaoyu who came hurriedly, and told her the news that his roommate was Flora.
"Is it her?"
"It was not my choice, it was arranged by the minister." Su Ming skillfully concealed his wishes.
Xia Xiaoyu let out a dissatisfied sigh.
"During the time you live together in the secret house, you can test her. In the state of forced love, you may be able to get something out of her. After all, few people would hide anything from the person they like."
Although Xia Xiaoyu was disappointed by the news, she still calmly proposed a new investigation plan.
“Hi, I’m here!”
Su Ming saw Flora standing in the middle of the hall from a distance. She stood there, waving at Su Ming, attracting the attention of many employees.
Su Ming walked forward and asked, "Why did you suddenly join the Investigation Bureau?"
"Since you are here, I thought maybe I could come here to work too," Flora said with a smile.
Her smile was noble and charming, friendly yet a little psychedelic, making Su Ming unable to tell whether it was real or fake.
His super intuition was already giving him hints. It was still a strong feeling, but it was also very vague. Su Ming couldn't tell this strong hint, and the only thing he could do was to stay alert.
The special car was waiting outside the door, and the three of them got in it.
When getting on the bus, Xia Xiaoyu wanted to cut in line and separate Su Ming and Flora, but she was a step too slow and Flora sat between her and Su Ming.
"Su Ming, do you know? This is my first time to come into contact with a strange thing. I have been locked up at home practicing since I was a child. I have never gone out and have no time for entertainment. I have always thought that strange things are very dangerous. It was not until yesterday that the minister told me to go to the couple's secret house that I knew there were such interesting strange things.
This is probably the most interesting thing besides participating in the Superpower League."
Flora spoke intermittently beside Su Ming, and Su Ming agreed with her from time to time.
Most of the stories she told were about her daily life in the Osborn household and her boring life of cultivation.
She seemed to be very curious about everything in the outside world, giving people the feeling that she was a canary in a cage that suddenly gained freedom.
Flora is a noble, beautiful, powerful, elegant, and innocent woman. It is very easy for such a woman to win the favor of men. If it was other men sitting here today instead of Su Ming, I am afraid his heart would have been beating fast.
But unfortunately, the person she met was Su Ming.
Su Ming felt that Flora’s story was very good and aroused people’s imagination, and he wanted to get to know her more deeply.
But his intuition told him that the other party was lying, and with Xia Xiaoyu beside him constantly interrupting, his vigilance did not diminish in the slightest.
"She is establishing a persona! She wants to show you her innocent and pure side. This woman is pretending to be innocent!" Xia Xiaoyu reminded excitedly.
Su Ming frowned and replied, "How many times have you said it since we got on the bus? At least five times. I told you I know it, but you still repeat it."
