A century after retirement, a post-apocalyptic tycoon is forced to find new employment.

Ji Ning received tokens from the Twelve Troubled Times forces in the Lin family and the Bai family respectively, and felt a little bad in her heart.

When she traveled back in time, the twelve forces had just formed an alliance less than two years ago.

Although the Huazhou Safe Zone is relatively stable, not all forces are willing to let her be the person involved, otherwise she would not be plotted on Jiu Ming Mountain.

120 years have passed since her "death". From the perspective of the division of power, only her power is left among the twelve major powers back then.

As the three younger brothers who inherited her power, they must have done something after her "death" to break up the remaining eleven families and turn them into a situation where the three of them were the dominant ones.

She looked through all the history books in Huazhou, but there was no record of this. Even the origin of the Twelve Round Table Council did not write anything about the twelve forces, as if the twelve forces of Huazhou had never existed.

Ji Ning's brows gradually wrinkled.

***

After coming out of Bai's house, Ji Ning drove directly to the airport.

No. 89, who is new to the investigation team, has been waiting at the airport for a long time. When he saw her, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

No. 89 is a B-level agent of the Beijing Security Bureau, a fifth-level space system superpower, and currently only has the ability to store space.

He looks very stupid. At first glance, you will think that he is very honest, like a villager who has just come to the city from the countryside. He has a sense of stupidity that makes people want to bully him.

Because of his special abilities, he is quite popular within the Security Bureau, and major investigation teams will invite him to join, but most of the things he is asked to do are to keep physical evidence and transport items.

Coupled with his appearance, everyone will automatically ignore his other abilities and only let him do the most basic work. Therefore, even if he joins the investigation team, he will not be able to get to the core of the case. He seems to be well-liked, but he is not included in the team. He has always been on the edge of the team, doing odd jobs in one investigation team after another.

This time he was able to join Ji Ning's investigation team because of his parents' blessing of being born in Gunan County.

He originally thought he would be doing odd jobs in the investigation team again, but he didn't expect that the team leader Ji Ning directly gave him a secret task, asking him to investigate the abduction case of an actress named Ye Tong alone.

This was the first time that the leader of the investigation team trusted him so much that he was given such a solo investigation task right from the start.

No. 89 was so happy.

After receiving the case, he began to mobilize his connections in Gunan County to investigate the case and investigate all the details and progress. He was afraid that he would not seize this opportunity and become a "porter" again.

Finally, his efforts paid off.

He actually had the opportunity to go to Gunan County with team leader Ji Ning to secretly investigate the case.

"Team leader, I've already said hello to the other side. When we go there, we can get a copy of the case directly without alerting the police." No. 89 lowered his voice and reported diligently, with a hint of joy in his voice.

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work. What's your name?"

The smile on No. 89's face became more honest, he scratched his head and said earnestly: "It's not hard, thank the team leader for letting me join the investigation team. I have space powers, you can call me Xiao Kong."

When your boss asks for your name, it means she may want to use you in the future.

He is not afraid of being used by others, but he is afraid of sitting on the bench and doing some marginal work.

In order to be able to hug Ji Ning's lap, he secretly gave himself a name similar to that of other team members.

Ji Ning was the first to know his name.

Xiaokong felt hot in his heart.

Ji Ning said "hmm" and then said: "Xiaokong, after arriving in Gunan County, don't report information to the local police station and security bureau yet."

Xiaokong was startled for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Okay, team leader. But my energy suppression ring has a positioning system."

Before he finished speaking, a transparent round device, the size of a thumb, was stuffed into his hand.

"Affixed to the energy suppression ring, it will block your positioning."

Xiaokong's naive eyes suddenly widened, and he looked even more stupid than before.

After a while, he happily replied: "Okay."

As expected, his new team leader has a lot of background, and he can get his hands on such things.

Xiaokong's eyes were shining, and he looked at Ji Ning with even more intense gaze.

Ji Ning glanced at him. He silently took half a step to the side.

The two of them were seated next to each other in economy class, with Ji Ning by the window and Xiao Kong by the aisle.

He sat down and looked back and forth curiously, then whispered to Ji Ning: "Team leader, this is my first time flying like this."

Ji Ning glanced at him, and Xiaokong said to himself: "We used to wear masks and charter flights. There were empty seats all around."

Ji Ning:......

***

It takes more than two hours to get from the capital to Xiang City, where Gunan County is located.

The two of them took an evening flight and arrived in Xiang City at 10 p.m., but neither of them took a break and drove directly to Gunan County in a rented car.

Gunan County is more than 200 kilometers away from the city, so the driving time for the two of them is longer than the flight time.

By the time we arrived in Gunan County, it was already two or three in the morning.

Xiaokong looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar small county town and sighed with emotion, "Team leader, I haven't been back for many years since I became a superpower."

Ji Ning drove the car and glanced at him, "Why?"

Xiaokong scratched his face and said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid it will bring trouble to my family."

"trouble?"

"Yeah." Xiaokong thought about the past and said a little lonely: "My family is an ordinary family. My parents run a small restaurant. I suddenly awakened my supernatural powers when I was in my second year of high school. At first, I felt very proud and proud to be a person with supernatural powers. I always walked with my head held high, but slowly, I found that I had become a problem for my family. In order to hide my identity, my parents had to tell lies one after another to outsiders. Because of my identity, they had to report me wherever I went. Be prepared, you can’t leave China and endure the gossip from people around you..."

Ji Ning glanced at him again, "Where is your home?"

"What?" Xiaokong looked at her blankly.

Ji Ning said: "I'm temporarily staying at your house during the investigation. Isn't it convenient?"

Xiaokong's brain was a little slow at this moment, but he still reflexively replied: "Convenient."

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt hot in his chest.

"My family's conditions are not good. Team leader, please don't dislike me."

"Ah."

When Ji Ning saw a self-built three-story building covering an area of ​​3 and a half acres with a single courtyard, he took a deep look at Xiaokong.

"Bad conditions?"

Xiaokong scratched his face, "I...I don't know when the house was built. Why did you occupy the neighbor's land?"

Xiao Kong stood at the door of his house and looked around suspiciously.

Not sure if this is my home.

He looked again at the message his parents sent a long time ago.

That's right, it's here...

"I'll try the key."

Xiaokong carefully took out a brand new metal key from his bag and inserted it into the door lock. With a slight twist, the door lock opened.

Xiaokong suddenly felt a little sore in his eyes. He sniffed, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. He turned around and said to Ji Ning, "Team leader, this is my home."

As he spoke, he gently opened the door, and suddenly——

A large black shadow came out of the door.

I have something to do at home today, so I will update a chapter first. I've been a little stuck lately, and my coding efficiency isn't very high.
