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

Chapter 23 Talented Person, You Want to Explain the Strange with Science?

On a soft, large bed under a crystal chandelier.

Shen Xu lay comfortably wrapped in a bath towel, playing on his phone.

Beside the bed was Miss Lin, dressed in a maid outfit cosplaying as a cat-eared girl.

A lace-trimmed apron concealed her voluptuous and graceful figure, while a small bell hung around her fair neck.

Her long, slender legs were encased in white stockings. She knelt down, holding a fruit platter in her hands, and used a toothpick to feed fruit to Shen Xu's mouth.

"Daddy, are the grapes your sweet daughter fed you sweet?"

"not bad."

"Here, the strawberry tips are for Daddy~"

Lin Huan was as compliant as a kitten; it was hard to believe that someone from a wealthy family would have such a personality.

If Shen Xu hadn't verified her innocence in the e-sports room today, he would have suspected that this girl had been seduced by someone.

"Daddy, your sweet daughter wants to eat fruit too..."

Lin Huan's beautiful eyes were shy, and her pink lips were painted with bright lipstick.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Hehe, I want to eat a banana~"

Shen Xu frowned slightly as a caller ID popped up on his phone screen.

Murphy... after all, he was from the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations, so he still left a note.

"Thirty or thirty minutes!"

"Coming right away...Tuanjie Road, north side, third alley!"

"Otherwise, you, you, you... you can just wait to collect this filthy bitch's corpse!"

As soon as the call connected, a stuttering male voice came through the receiver.

But you could still hear the fierce and crazy threat the other party was trying to convey.

Lin Huan was startled, and her hand holding the banana froze.

Shen Xu remained calm and said indifferently, "Did you dial the wrong number?"

"Grass!"

The person on the other end of the line rudely swore: "You, you're this bitch's emergency contact person, what are you pretending for?"

"Neuropathy."

Shen Xu couldn't understand Murphy's thought process.

What do I have to do with you, sister?

"You, you, you fucking say... who's the lunatic?"

"Hey, if her emergency contact number is law enforcement, are you going to call the law enforcement agency?"

After saying that, Shen Xu hung up the phone without any hesitation.

He then called law enforcement and reported Murphy to the police.

As someone he had only met once, he felt he had done a lot.

"You...aren't you going to save her?"

Lin Huan asked timidly.

Shen Xu glanced at her and asked, "Why are you going?"

"N-nothing."

Lin Huan dared not ask any further questions.

She paused, then mustered her courage and asked, "What if I were in danger...?"

Shen Xu nodded slightly, which was considered an affirmative answer.

Lin Huan, like Liu Meiyun, is on his list of roommates. Once their bond level reaches 100 points, they can also unlock exclusive buffs, making them different from outsiders.

"Of course, if you deliberately court death, that's a different story."

Shen Xu gave a casual reminder.

"How could that be?"

Lin Huanxi smiled and said sweetly, "My good daughter will listen to Daddy~"

Shen Xu glanced at the banana in Lin Huan's hand, then looked at his phone screen.

Murphy called again, and he hung up immediately.

Less than a minute later, another text message came in—

"We're from Black Dragon Company. Is this woman investigating our company for you? We'll give this bitch a good beating today, and as a warning, if you do it again, you'll suffer the same fate!"

Upon seeing the text message, Shen Xu's face immediately darkened.

He originally thought that by dealing with Wang Lei and intimidating Li Fei, the Black Dragon Company would restrain itself.

But to my surprise, this group of people were so ignorant of their place.

"What's wrong...?"

Lin Huan noticed that Shen Xu's expression was a little off, so she asked him cautiously.

I'm going out for a bit.

Shen Xu got up and quickly put on his clothes. He glanced at Lin Huan, snatched the freshly peeled banana from her hand, and took a big bite of the delicious fruit: "If you're not going to eat, then don't keep playing here."

After saying that, he stuffed the rest of the banana into the young lady's mouth.

……

Unity Road.

In a small alley to the north.

Several burly men gathered together, peeking out from time to time.

"Brother Biao, what should we do now?"

"You know what, those bitches in the Investigation Bureau are really hot..."

"That rabbit, that big ass, it's absolutely gorgeous! How about we brothers have some fun with it?"

The henchmen looked at the young woman who was tied up by the trash can and grinned lewdly.

"Heh, heh heh, fucking awesome!"

Brother Biao slapped his underling on the neck: "Let's go!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and led a few of his underlings out of the alley.

"Brother, why not have some fun?"

The younger brothers were still reluctant to part with him.

Brother Biao lowered his voice and said, "Are you fucking out of your mind? You dare to mess with people from the Investigation Bureau?"

"Besides, we're just doing this for money, don't ruin that young girl."

"Now that the threat has been made, get out of here!"

One of the henchmen said, "Brother Biao is right. That Shen Xu is a security officer, someone who controls strange powers. To put it bluntly, he's like a ghost. We're no match for him at all."

"Is it really that mysterious?"

"Let's hurry up and leave. We already gave them the address; if we get cornered, we're doomed!"

"Didn't you hear about what happened at the Dragon Tower today? It was a bizarre incident. I heard that more than a thousand people were trapped, and less than two hundred survived. They were all killed by ghosts..."

Seeing the fear on his underlings' faces, Brother Biao calmly said, "It's only been two or three minutes since the call. How could it be so fast? Does the security officer work like a rocket?"

After saying that, he led his underlings across the road quickly.

Then he randomly picked an alley without surveillance cameras to try and escape.

There was only one streetlamp in the dimly lit alley; everything in front and behind was pitch black.

The group walked forward in silence, but their expressions were somewhat off...

"Holy crap!"

Suddenly, Brother Biao, who was walking at the front, froze, his body trembling.

"What's wrong? What happened to Brother Biao?"

A younger brother asked, looking bewildered, and stepped forward to take a look.

Everyone froze instantly, staring wide-eyed at the trash can in front of them.

Next to a dirty trash can, a girl with a high ponytail, wearing a white top and blue jeans, was tied up.

"What the hell?!"

"Shouldn't that bitch be in the alley across the street...?"

"We're trapped in a ghost wall! This is definitely a ghost wall! We've encountered something strange!"

"Run!"

The group instinctively wanted to escape, and they all turned around, only to be shocked again.

My legs were trembling, my back was cold, and I felt a sudden dampness and heat in my crotch...

Under the streetlights behind me, a figure suddenly appeared, standing quietly.

"Who are you? Are you human or a ghost?"

Brother Biao mustered his courage and asked.

"I am Shen Xu."

"You...how did you get here so fast?"

Brother Biao was stunned by the answer.

"What a talent!"

Shen Xu asked, somewhat amused, "Are you trying to explain the strange with science?"

He twirled a rather old-fashioned fountain pen rapidly in his hand, wisps of black mist spreading out and quickly enveloping the entire alley.

Shen Xu?

Murphy, whose mouth was taped shut, stared blankly at the boy under the streetlight.

The next moment, she felt a chill running through her body, as if she were sinking into darkness.

Is this... an invasion by the Ghost Realm?

Shen Xu launched a ghost domain invasion?!
