Weird Safe House: I became stronger after taking in my roommate!

Chapter 11 The Mysterious Investigation Bureau! Murphy's Shock

The next day, early in the morning.

Shen Xu woke up on the soft, large bed.

Beside her on the pillow was Liu Meiyun, who was wearing a black nightgown.

[The host's bond with roommate Liu Meiyun has reached 100 points, unlocking an exclusive buff.]

[Spiritual Fire Condensation Speed +10/S, Initial Spirit Gate Level +1, Initial Arrow Tower Level +1]

[Note: This exclusive buff still applies even if your roommate is not in the safe house]

[Note: Please protect your roommate. This exclusive buff will be lost if your roommate dies.]

The pleasant notification sound rang out, which did not surprise Shen Xu.

These last 10 points of bond were the result of his hard work throughout the night.

Although Shen Xu had only recently become a safety officer, thanks to the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations' educational efforts, he already had some understanding of the rules of the safe house.

No matter who it is, every time they enter the safe house, the initial level of the spirit gate is 0, and they will not have the arrow tower.

Even if you've reached the top level in the previous Ghost Realm, the next Ghost Realm will still be a fresh start.

"A roommate-exclusive buff... does that mean I'll be one level ahead of everyone else every time I enter a safe house?"

Shen Xu was very satisfied with the enhancement effect.

Surviving in the Ghost Realm is a race.

An early advantage is crucial; having an extra arrow tower and killing a ghost grants 500 spirit fire.

The saying goes, "If you're quick at one step, you'll be quick at every step," and it's easy to create a huge snowball effect advantage.

This is just one roommate; if we had more roommates…

Wouldn't that mean we could roam freely in all kinds of ghost realms from now on?

"Xiao Shen, you're awake?"

Liu Meiyun looked at him with her big, watery eyes and a tender expression.

"What would you like to eat? Auntie will make you breakfast."

"I don't want to get up yet."

Shen Xu stretched and picked up his phone from the bedside table. There were three missed calls and a few text messages on it.

The number displayed was from the Longcheng City Strange Investigation Bureau, which had been harassing him all night, but he ignored it.

I was very tired and busy last night.

"Little Shen is so old, why is he still sleeping in?"

"It's okay, Auntie will bring it over when she's done. You can just lie down and eat."

Liu Meiyun was very gentle and considerate. After speaking, she quietly put on her clothes and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Shen Xu then opened the newsletter from the Bureau of Mystery Investigation—

"Hello, this is Murphy, an investigator from this city. Is it convenient for you to take this call or return a message?"

"Did you survive the ghost invasion of the school? Have you become a security officer?"

Before yesterday, Shen Xu had a very good impression of the Bureau of Mystery Investigation.

But now... well, I should still get in touch.

He casually dialed the number.

……

The Bureau of Mysterious Investigations.

At his workstation, Murphy sat looking somewhat haggard in front of his computer.

Last night's ghost invasion at Xiangyang School resulted in the deaths of over two thousand people.

Of course, this is perfectly normal for a B-level ghost domain invasion.

In fact, her work was not flawed at all; she evacuated the crowd immediately.

However, the student at the school who awakened the lightning attribute made her feel deeply guilty.

Because the boy was brave and kind, he chose to save people even when he was in danger himself.

Moreover, he possessed a talent that ordinary people did not have, and he persevered until the very end, even... condensing a spiritual weapon!

It's important to know that even security officers belonging to the Investigation Bureau don't all possess magical artifacts.

It was precisely because she saw that Shen Xu had made enough effort and held on for so long, only to wait in vain for rescue...

She found it hard to accept.

But in the middle of the night, she received a call from the bureau chief.

They received some shocking news: Shen Xu was not dead!

"He survived and became a safety officer."

Murphy rested her chin on her hand with some distress: "It's all Zhao Bin's fault, he dragged his feet and didn't rescue anyone."

"Shen Xu must have a very bad impression of the Investigation Bureau now, otherwise he wouldn't be ignoring the phone..."

Just then, the landline rang, and the caller ID showed it was Shen Xu!

Murphy's eyes lit up, and she immediately answered the phone: "Hello, this is the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations, I'm investigator Murphy. Shen Xu, are you alright?"

"Whether I'm okay or not is none of your business!"

A cold, indifferent voice came from the phone.

"I...I'm sorry."

Murphy's guilt surged up again.

"What are you sorry for?"

"I'm sorry I couldn't get help for you yesterday."

……

Hearing the voice on the phone, Shen Xu's anger subsided somewhat.

At least the investigator named "Murphy" didn't shy away from the issue, and his attitude was good.

"It's none of your business, and strictly speaking, you have no obligation to come and save me."

"No... Dealing with supernatural forces and protecting ordinary people is the duty of the Bureau of Supernatural Investigation."

Shen Xu said, "Whatever, what do you want from me?"

Murphy said, "Your becoming an investigator has alarmed our headquarters. The minister personally issued an order hoping to recruit you to work for the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations."

Work?

Without hesitation, Shen Xu asked, "How much money?"

"what?"

Murphy was taken aback, then said, "The base salary is one hundred thousand per month!"

"In addition, there's a bonus for handling each strange incident, and extra subsidies for fieldwork..."

100,000 yuan per month.

This is still very attractive to a normal student.

Unfortunately, Shen Xu now has a beautiful roommate who is worth over 100 million yuan and listens to his every word.

Shen Xu calmly asked, "That's it?"

Murphy, sitting in the office, was taken aback. The value of a safety officer certainly couldn't be measured in tens of thousands of dollars.

But she received Shen Xu's personal information from the relevant department early this morning, and learned that he was born in a small county town and had a very bad life. He was an orphan from a young age and grew up in an orphanage.

With such a background, how could he remain so calm in the face of a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan?

This is quite an achievement for a student who is still so young.

"Of course not."

Murphy said, "You should have already received the notification about the safe house trial, right?"

"From the moment you become a safety officer, you need to undergo constant trials, otherwise the strange power within you will go out of control, and you will surely die!"

"Normally, after becoming a safety officer, you need to take the next trial on the third day. You walked out of the B-level ghost domain alone, so your score should be higher. When is the next trial? A week? Or half a month?"

Shen Xu became interested and replied truthfully, "One month later."

"What?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No...no."

Murphy was shocked once again.

The interval between trials is linked to the previous Ghost Realm score.

A full month has passed... What was Shen Xu's score yesterday?

Grade A?

Or A+?

It can't be the legendary S-class, can it?

Shen Xu said, "Go on, what other benefits are there in joining you?"

Murphy said, "Okay."
