Listening to the coquettish and innocent conversation between his sister and his nephew and niece, Xie Yuan, even though he didn't feel much about it, couldn't help but lower his head and felt a deep sense of frustration in his heart.
Although he has no actual life experience for decades, Xie Yuan still likes Nicole's two little ones very much because of his memory. If possible, he would also like to attend Pixon's birthday party in person.
But... Xie Yuan turned the camera angle, and in another apartment not far from Nicole's house, although it seemed dark, it was uninhabited all year round.
But when Xie Yuan switched to thermal imaging mode, he could just see two humanoid thermal signals observing and monitoring in the dark house.
This is the two-person surveillance team that Xie Yuan saw during a patrol around Nicole's house. It is unknown who sent the team and how long they have been here. They neither harass nor touch Nicole or the children, but they film everything going on in her house.
Out of caution, Xie Yuan has been monitoring their mobile phones and computers. As long as funds are entered or information is exchanged, he can trace the source and find the target of the order.
However, there has been no progress yet. Xie Yuan has not thought about showing up to lure the photographer to report the information. However, considering the safety of Nicole's family, he still did not take preemptive measures.
Children's education and happiness are important, but compared to their life safety, it is still a little inferior.
However, the nephew and niece may be a little disappointed tomorrow. After all, they can only get gifts and no one can see them.
Among the gifts he gave Nicole was a gift for Pixon. It wasn't the first time he had invaded a delivery station anyway. It contained a holographic projector that matched 70% of the technology of the world he currently lived in.
However, another reason why he did not participate in the birthday party was a bit difficult for Xie Yuan himself to talk about. He likes Nicole quite a lot. As a strange soul who has never known Nicole before, he has a kind of affection for Nicole between men and women.
But what he is attached to is Aiden Pierce's body! Coupled with Nicole's actual feelings for Aiden...she has been chasing her brother since she was a child, so this development is quite dangerous. Aiden can be Nicole's big brother, but he cannot be her love brother!
Therefore, it is best not to meet him if he can. If he really needs to meet, he must restrain himself and return courtesy, because he is a professional executor and cannot do things according to his own desires, not to mention that he is wearing Aiden's skin.
Thinking of this, he sat down on the bed, crossed his legs, and silently recited the Rebirth Mantra over and over again:
"Eliminate all karmic obstacles and be reborn in the Pure Land Dharani..."
…
He killed someone today for his mission, so he had to recite the Rebirth Mantra. If he was not available, he would recite the Pure Heart Mantra that begins with Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
Although the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu shook his muscles and body, stimulated his Qi and blood, and enhanced his physical strength, it also brought him a drawback:
Too many delusions.
This is not an ordinary gain, but as his body improves step by step, his physical body begins to slowly activate, producing many desires, such as lust, carnal desire, and killing desire.
Xie Yuan's slightest thought a day will produce a large number of desires, and these desires prompt Xie Yuan to do things that succumb to desires.
This is also a drawback caused by the mental construction not keeping up with the physical strength, but it has improved a lot. After all, Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu is a very complete and long-standing technique.
The eminent monks of the past dynasties have summarized many solutions to similar accidents by practicing Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, and the best one is yoga.
The second is to recite mantras and observe precepts to maintain the state of mind. The third is meditation, which is really not good... There is also joyful meditation. Xie Yuan chose the second one here.
Why choose the second one? Because whether it is yoga, meditation, or joyful meditation, it cannot be interrupted. It involves full devotion of the body and spirit. Once interrupted... going crazy is the least likely result.
For example, now, Xie Yuan could only open his eyes helplessly and stop chanting the curse, because another phone call came.
It was Bad Boy 17 who called me.
"I believe we were right to seek out Maurice's intelligence, and while you diverted the attention of the police, we also obtained authorization to enter the ctOS backdoor."
The unambiguous Bad Boy 17 shared her results as soon as she got through. Of course, the conversation changed and she also mentioned what Xie Yuan wanted to hear: "...Since we can both achieve a win-win situation through this, we will naturally also To share with you our results, these backdoor equations can give you certain authorization to enter the ctOS network."
Xie Yuan set the call to floating window mode and opened MSN. Sure enough, some equations began to be loaded into the phone. Xie Yuan still needed to confirm the specific situation one by one, but Xie Yuan was still satisfied with it.
"Thank you, but I should say congratulations more. You are a small step closer to your ultimate career goal." Xie Yuan said this sincerely, but compliments...different people have different opinions.
"I'm still working on a bigger plan," Bad Boy 17 didn't know if he heard Xie Yuan's perfunctory tone, but he didn't have the intention to continue talking anyway, "Give me some time..."
To be on the safe side, Xie Yuan showed off his multi-purpose tool and scanned everything on his phone again. After confirming that everything was safe, he put the phone back into the slot to charge.
Before going to bed, I still recite the unshakable rebirth mantra every day before falling asleep.
…
The next day, Xie Yuan slept soundly. The first thing he did after getting up was to practice the Daoyin exercises of Dragon Elephant Kung Fu.
Although Aiden's physical age is 38 years old, his past work as a perennial closer has made his body as flexible and soft as any young man.
He can easily climb from the bottom to the second floor railing and climb over obstacles. This is one of the reasons why Xie Yuan can quickly practice Dragon Elephant Kung Fu with Aiden's body, although it is a small reason.
The essence of Dragon Elephant Kung Fu is yoga. The more flexible your body is, the faster you can get started... It just depends on your state of mind.
Practicing guided yoga has the added benefit of improving concentration and subconscious reactions, which will lead to greater survivability in a firefight.
In fact, some pills can also have the effect of improving concentration, but for Xie Yuan, who believes that medicine is three-part poison, he will not take medicine unless it is absolutely necessary, unless it is a tonic.
Of course, there is also a headache for Xie Yuan in yoga: after practicing for a long time, he will lose track of time.
Mainly, the yoga exercise of Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong is extremely difficult. It requires the practitioner to pay absolute concentration to balance his whole body, otherwise serious yoga injuries will occur.
Then you will become obsessed with it due to over concentration, and it will take a long time to react.
Fortunately, not today. He woke up on time and went out after practicing.
But it wasn't long before he received a call from Jordi.
