The man in front of
73
looks about forty or fifty years old and exudes an oppressive aura.
He leaned back on the seat, which was not luxurious, but like a king sitting on his throne, and all the people around him bowed their heads and bowed their heads.
Old J?
I quickly searched the name in my mind and remembered that Xiaobai had introduced it when he fled to C4.
He said that Old J was the boss of the most complicated force among the C4 forces, and it was said that he came from the top and was inextricably linked with the top.
So we’re now in C4? But why is it here in the old J?
I think of the escape before the coma, the drag racing, the truck that hit it voluntarily, the explosion.. After that, I fainted and couldn’t see Qi Shi’s condition. By
the way, Qi Shi, is he all right? My heart was clenched and I looked around alertly.
Qi Shi is on a seat on my left. His whole body was tied up by strong chains, and his head hung down, as if he had fallen into a coma.
“Qi Shi!”
I called his name loudly, but he didn’t move. I tried to get closer to him again, but I was tied to a chair and struggled to shake the tree.
But compared with Qi Shi, I was tied with an ordinary rope.
I calmed down and looked at the old J in the seat in front of me. Where is this? What are we doing here? What did you do to Qi Shi?
Old J leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, pressed his right elbow on the armrest, and raised his arm to support his chin.
He looked down at us with an interested expression.
Since Old J began to talk to me, all the people around him had stopped and stood orderly beside Old J, and then several people stood beside me and Qi Shi.
Old J gave a kind smile: “This is C4. You were being hunted, and I saved you.”
“As for 453, you don’t have to worry about Qi Shi in your mouth.”
“Considering his constitution, we have given him a tranquilizer in advance to prevent him from overturning the place before you wake up.”
Old J chuckled and made a waving gesture, and immediately two men walked toward Qi Shi. One
of them opened a small medical box, the other took out the injection from it, skillfully rolled up half of Qi’s sleeve, disinfected and injected.
“In a few minutes he’ll be sober.”
I stared at them, watching them prick needles on Qi Shi, who could not move, and wanted to tear their hearts. One moment this dose, one moment that dose, what do these people take us for? You
don’t have to be like this. I’m not your enemy. I have saved you, and I want to discuss something with you.
“Do you usually tie people up for discussion?”
“Impolite, mainly just in case.”
Old J explained that someone came to help us untie. After releasing it, I immediately walked quickly to Qi Shi’s side and observed him up and down. There are some scratches on
the wrist, which seem to have been dealt with by the people on the old J’s side. Your complexion is fine, and your breathing is even. Good. The explosion probably didn’t hurt him much.
Qi Shi quickly woke up, frowned, opened his eyes instantly with a kind of momentum to destroy everything, and immediately put away when he saw me anxiously watching.
“Are you okay?” He looked at me, and there was a trace of gloom between his eyebrows, as if I said no and he was going to do something to retaliate. I’m
fine. I just fainted when I was affected by the explosion. What about you? Are you all right?
Old J laughed, “Well, you two, there’s plenty of time for you and me in the future.”. Do you not want to know why you are here?
The atmosphere loosened slightly, and Old J began to explain.
Josh, that speech of yours was shocking and exciting. Do you know how people reacted when the video appeared on the big screen in Area C?
I was just about to retort that the video wasn’t my masterpiece, but old J talked so much that there was nothing to say.
“At first they were all busy, but when they heard what you were saying, soon all eyes turned to the screen.”
People are silent, and they watch your video with the kind of suffering eyes that are used to this kind of life. But the stones were already rippling in the water, and some people were the first to start cursing, to start roaring, to start shouting, “Down with Zone A, down with Zone A!”
This mood is contagious, setting off a surge of heat in the crowd. The shouts of the crowd nearly brought the house down.
Old J’s tone is also impassioned, even a little crazy.
It was as if he were in the crowd and witnessed the shocking scene.
I quietly looked at the people around me, only to see that under the old J’s speech, some people began to show excitement in their eyes, as if they could not help but shed tears of anger.
“Your video is like a seed of fire, which has been deeply imprinted into the hearts of every citizen in Area B and Area C.”
“When this video is released, you have become the public enemy of the whole district, to be exact, District A.”
“I knew you would be in danger, so I asked someone to help you.”
“So,” I suddenly remembered the truck, “did you send that truck to pick it up?”
“That’s right.”
But why? Old J doesn’t know us, and why does he go to all the trouble to save people at this moment?
Old J stared at me with a twinkle in his eye and uttered the unfathomable words, “Join us, Josh.”
“Be the inspiration to stand up and join us in knocking down Area and leading BC into a more glorious world.”
I was a little stunned, and Qi Shi looked at each other like a wooden chicken, and confirmed from each other’s eyes that he had not heard wrong. But still, I was shocked.
You want to knock out Area A? Yes, really want that kind of knockout? I asked in a dry voice, twice in a row.
“Yes, a real knockout.” Old J cut down the railway.
“Your video has planted the seeds of fire in the hearts of the people of Area B and Area C, and you have become a symbol of the courage to speak out against injustice.”
“BC has a long history of discontent. It just needs an opportunity.”
You are famous, and now no one does not recognize you. So I hope that you will be the representative to carry out publicity and inspire people. A
series of messages hit the eardrum like a heavy hammer, which sounds incredible at first.
He wants to oppose it, and he wants to pull me as a publicity?
So, that’s why he saved us? I didn’t do anything at home, and I became famous in three districts? Has it become a symbol of “the courage to speak out against injustice”?
I don’t know whether to smile or laugh.
But I always felt something was wrong: Why me? If you just want publicity, it’s more appropriate for the leader to come out in person, isn’t it? Besides, it’s a coincidence that you found us so easily. “It’s not just the video,”
J said with an enigmatic smile.
“We’ve been watching you, Josh, since a long time ago.”
I couldn’t help but shiver, feeling like “Big Brother is watching you.”.
“Someone took you hostage on the street and nearly caused an explosion, right?”
“You collected a lot of evidence about Chao Yeh, exposed it in front of everyone, and demoted him, didn’t you?”
“You even want to publish Zhao Ye’s case in the whole a area, so that he can be tried by the whole a area, don’t you?” The more
Old J spoke, the more excited he became, and the cold light in his eyes made people tremble.
He actually knew everything, and the few things I had experienced in Area were all seen by him far away in C4.
“Wait, did you set up the hostage taker?”
Yes. The Devotee was a move we sent as a signal, a test bait.
As it turns out, those guys at the top are really a bunch of losers, and they still think that everything is under their control. Calm? How interesting
Old J sneered and ridiculed the group of dignitaries on the top floor.
He turned to me again, with a look of appreciation in his eyes: “As a member of the top floor of Area a, I am willing to give up enjoyment, regardless of my own safety, and try my best to let the game end and protect the lives of the people in Area B and Area C.”
“Isn’t this the best way to show that all districts are equal, that there is no distinction between high and low, and that no one’s rights are superior to anyone’s?”
“You have truly led by example.”
“Aren’t you the perfect person, Josh?”
I did not expect that old J was already observing me, and I did not expect that old J would say such a thing, earnest and persuasive, firm and decisive, very provocative.
Not only could I not refute it, but I was even a little touched.
It seems to touch the burning flame in the heart of the other person. Want to fight for B and C, and want these people to enjoy equal rights.
You can feel the spirit and anger in him, and the years have not been able to reduce this anger.
I swallowed, “But why observe me?”? Did it start with the kidnapping?
No. You’ll never guess when. Old J smiled proudly and glanced at Qi Shi. Is it related to
Qi Shi? I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn’t find the reason.
Finally, I even narrowed my eyes, gave Qi Shi a cool glance, and said half jokingly, “Qi Shi, you’re not an undercover agent sent by Old J, are you?”
Old J laughed. The corners of
Qi Shi’s mouth rose without emotion, and his eyes shone with a cold light: “Qiao, Si!”
Old J laughed enough and confided, “I wish 453 was undercover.”. I’ve wanted 453 under my command for a long time, but he’s always been a loner, and no one has ever seen his true Lushan Mountain.
“Josh, do you remember that comm you fixed?”
I looked at the old J, and the guess in my mind came to the surface. No way. It was too early at that time. After being taken to Area by Qiao Chen
from C4, Qi Shi and I were separated. After discovering that the communicator carried by the original owner was broken, he looked for a place to repair it. At that time, he found Ken Street, a gathering area of people who were in Area but did not have the identity of Area A.
The store manager who repaired it for you is also one of us. He caught a glimpse of that word 453 on your com, and it was reported. So you became the focus of our observation.
“I didn’t expect that you really knew 453 and did so many amazing things.” I
felt my scalp tingle, and I was afraid to think about it.
The store manager is also a member of Old J, which means that his influence has unconsciously infiltrated into the interior of Area A. So what is the extent of his real power?
Old J seemed to see what I was thinking. He smiled and said, “Since we have the courage to knock down Area a, of course we won’t be weak and incompetent waste.”
Josh, you can be a rallying point, and 453, with you, we will be able to defeat each other at one stroke. Of course, I have another idea. Maybe you can go back to Area to hide and echo with us inside and outside.
Old J has begun to think about his future plans and speak freely and undisguisedly. And he seems to like Qi Shi very much, every time the line of sight on Qi Shi, will shine with excitement.
It’s only been half an hour since we woke up. Why is
he so confident that we will cooperate with his plan?
Josh, you’re going to join us, right? You have been convicted in Area A. They will hunt you down in the whole area. Only I can protect you here.
“You won’t be able to be Joe’s little princess again in one piece. Oh, you’re not Joe’s anymore.”
Conviction? What happened after the explosion?
Old J’s staff projected a news report, which described me as a criminal who refused to be investigated and absconded after broadcasting a video with bad incitement in the ABC area.
The sinner not only absconded, but also caused a car accident on the road, and maimed the members of the Military Affairs Department who went to pursue him.
Joss, who has been provisionally convicted of a crime, will be the subject of an all-area manhunt.
Another report is a gossip interview.
We have invited an insider here, Mr. Zhang. How do you do? I heard that Josh’s relatives are not ordinary. Is it possible that this matter has been manipulated by others behind their backs?
Yes, some people do wonder whether this incident was inspired by that person. However, Joss has legally severed his family ties with all his relatives, so there is no reason for his relatives to bear the joint and several charges.
“Out of the family?”
“Yes, this is the latest news.”
“What do you think is Joss’s purpose in releasing such an inflammatory video that goes against the stability of the whole region?”
“Please look at this kind of thing rationally. There is no conclusion of the investigation yet. Please wait for the final result of the investigation.”
“Then how do you look at this from your personal point of view?”
I think she’s crazy. Not to mention his point of view, such behavior itself is a contempt for the authority of Area a, and is bound to get into trouble. After learning the latest situation with
mixed feelings, the situation is not optimistic. And Qiao Chen’s side, after all, has come to that step. Before I
left, I asked Han Chengcheng to execute my declaration of severing kinship in the name of the Justice Department when she had to.
It was supposed to be used just in case. Originally only announced Zhao Ye’s evil deeds, the probability will not be too risky.
I didn’t expect this to happen. The video was processed and released ahead of time, and the broadcast range was expanded. I was accused of a crime, and the mastermind behind it really wanted to kill me.
I don’t know how Qiao Chen will react when he finds out that his sister has had such a thing and suddenly breaks off his kinship with him? Will
he panic?
Will you stop smiling, tighten your thin lips, and be angry that I didn’t tell him anything?
Will I try my best to save my sister, or will I be glad that I have made such preparations to keep him safe.
But he would have been safe, Qiao Chen will not wait to die. Breaking away from kinship just saves him some trouble.
I put away a little melancholy and trance, and focused on the situation in front of me.
Old J saved us, and the conviction of the district has been buckled. Expecting the former chief to stall for time and indirect way to save the nation seems unworkable.
How about it, or do you need to think about it again? I can also understand that it’s a bit sudden to say so much all at once. Although
the old J said so, but the tone is still strategic. Tell us the reason for asking for our help
first, and then show the reality that we have nowhere to go, as if there is no other choice but to jump on the same boat with him.
But how can you have a chance to win? We all know that there is a world of difference between the strength of Area and Area B and Area C.
“Oh.” Old J chuckled, “So, since we have the courage, of course we won’t be weak and incompetent waste.”
As Old J chuckled, some kind of faint, confident smile followed from the people around him.
He stood up. “Follow me.”
We walked out of the room, which was a narrow corridor. We followed him everywhere, and one thing was very strange: we didn’t see any windows, none of them.
At last he came to a thick-looking door, which opened proudly and mysteriously: “Look what we have.” The
machines made a roaring noise, pedestrians shuttled back and forth, and the huge machines were in good order. It’s just that it’s not ordinary things that are produced, but guns and ammunition.
This is a munitions factory.
Then it dawned on me that we were probably underground, so this was an underground munitions factory.
But from the distance we just walked, it seems that this is not a small underground space, perhaps it can be called an underground city? “Do you still think we don’t have a chance to win?”
Old J said with a confident smile.
“The seeds of fire have been planted. Now, let us light the fire!”
74
Old J, who on earth is he?
Some people say that one day he suddenly appeared in C4 without being noticed, and at first he was just a nobody;
Some people say that he only took three years to occupy a place here, experienced numerous bloody storms in the middle, conquered a large number of people by his ability and strong personality charm, and became the boss of C4’s biggest force;
Some people say that his true identity actually comes from the top of Area a, relying on the connections behind him to get to where he is today;
some people say that his character is uncertain, and that there is only a dead end to his work except loyalty;
Some people say that he is just the head of a larger group of C4 minions, in any case, he is always a shady minion.
Ask a hundred people, and there may be a hundred answers.
But old J himself is very secretive about himself, always smiling faintly, and does not comment on all speculation, evaluation and praise.
But Old J’s conclusion that he came from the top floor was confirmed. When I asked him about his origin, he looked up at the distant top.
Above was the sky, which was a blur, with only slanting clouds mixed with mist. Farther away
, it is Area where tall buildings rise from the ground. The top people live in the sky, looking up at the stars and the sun, unwilling to step on the ground and associate with civilians.
“After more than 20 years, are the tall buildings there still as impregnable as ever?”
Old J was vague, but also hinted at the fact that he came from the top. But when he tried to learn more, he avoided talking about it.
As for the proposal to invite us to join, I said that I and Qi Shi needed to consider it.
Old J is very straightforward, let us rest assured to stay here, but do not contact the people in Area a, otherwise it will expose their location.
In fact, I can’t get in touch with him now. They have blocked the original communicator, and now I use a privately purchased one, and only the dark net software can still communicate with the outside world.
We hid in this hidden bunker, occupying a “dungeon” under C4.
It is not grand, it follows the principle of being able to use it, and all the decoration is simple and unadorned, even looking a little shabby.
But just thinking about the conditions under which this was created is shocking enough. Over the past
20 years, brick by brick, it has been built day by day by countless people’s tight-lipped energy and sweat.
Old J has given us enough privileges to allow us to look around here, as if our answer would not disappoint him. Judging from the current situation, it seems that we have no other choice.
There is only one area that we are not allowed to enter. That is the restricted area here. No one can enter except the old J. Everyone
has secrets. That’s okay.
So Qi Shi and I wandered around here all day, living area, restaurant, arms area, equipment area.. There is everything here, but I can’t see the sky, I can’t breathe real air, I can’t step on the mud and grass.
Qi Shi is exerting himself on the exercise equipment.
He wore very little, and a thin layer of sleeveless T-shirt was almost wet with sweat.
He looked at me impassively as he pulled his arm. The muscles on the arms, without the cover of clothing, appeared in front of him without concealment.
I have to say, this guy has a really good figure, and I can’t take my eyes off him.
Qi Shi is clearly expressionless, but the fundus with imperceptible banter.
I always feel that he is working harder and his posture is more. Deliberate. There is a machine in the
room that keeps breathing 24 hours a day, keeping the constant temperature and humidity in the room. But inexplicably, some hot and dry up. Maybe I was so close to Qi that I could smell the sweat on his body.
“Can you exercise properly?” I complained and only looked at him out of the corner of my eye.
“I thought you liked it.”
“Who likes it?”
“Why don’t you take your eyes off it?” Qi Shi laughed like a prankster.
Speechless, this guy is really, a little changed. When I was locked up at the
beginning, I stood in front of him in his shirt with a good figure after taking a shower. He didn’t even bother to look at me. Now I took the opportunity to start spreading my tail. Did I realize what I was doing? Or is it just fun & # x3D? =
But I’m not the shy little girl, okay?
So I smiled: “I was thinking, from the perspective of human body science, who has a better figure, you or old J?”? Well, I think my brother is better.
Then he nodded with satisfaction and left.
With a bang, the sound of the instrument being put down came from behind, and Qi Shi muttered doubtfully: “Old J, that old man?”
(V ⊙) Well.. In fact, I lied, and I was most satisfied with Qi Shi. Walking
in this underground fortress every day, we will participate in the discussion between old J and his subordinates from time to time.
Sometimes people would come to him to report in a low voice, and sometimes he would pull some people into a meeting, all of whom seemed to be reliable and capable.
From those few words, we can slowly piece together a thread: over the years, many people have been inserted into the interior of Area A.
They are banking on these people to play a role in the crucial moment and make Area fall apart.
Old J never hides from us. Everyone here will greet us respectfully when they see us, and even some people will cast admiring and fervent eyes on me.
It seems that I am really the pioneer who inspires them and can ignite a flaming flame.
And we have been slow to give an answer. It is a huge and heavy proposition to
break through Area A. It involves the balance of power between the two sides, strategic plans, and more importantly, bloodshed. Countless people
will fall, countless people will be involved, homes will become battlefields, children will lose their parents, parents will lose their children. It’s a little scary and hesitant to
think about it.
I don’t understand how it got to this point.
“Qi Shi, what do you think?” Qi Shi and
I leaned back on the small sofa and watched the projected news outside. The manhunt is continuing, and the districts have been turned upside down. But we are underground, and no one knows that there is such a place hidden under C4. In the
video, the host spoke quickly: “We interviewed some residents at random, and here are their views on the live event.”
“What do you think of the fact that Josh is fighting for Block B and Block C?”
“It’s ridiculous. It’s really incomprehensible that a person from Area should speak for the lower levels.”
“I think she should be arrested and dealt with immediately. What she said is too inflammatory. It’s not good for the harmony of the whole region.”
At first I was angry, and I thought she was completely fanning the flames. But we’ve had some discussions, which is, why is Area born to be superior? Why can’t the citizens of B and C have the same rights? Well, that’s been the rule all along, but what if I happened to be born in BC? I’d be miserable, too.
It seems that the heat of this matter will not go down for a while.
Most of the criticism is occasionally mixed with different reflections, and it seems that the residents of Area are not all hopeless. The light from the
projection illuminates the lounge.
At night, people will basically return to the ground to live a normal life, leaving only a few people on duty to prevent underground tricks from being discovered by interested people. Even during the day, there are shifts. There is no one else
here, and the night is like the kingdom of Qi Shi and me. The
faint light enveloped me and Qi Shi.
The world is like a small black hole.
“So what do you think?” Qi Shi asked me in turn.
Me?
I never thought it would come to this. A traveler from another world is forced to become a player of Laoshizi’s disgusting game, and then slowly accepts this identity, feels angry and absurd, and decides to destroy the game.
Gradually, it was pushed here by fate and became a little crazy and difficult to control. Everyone
here looks at you with admiration, like looking at a hero. How does it feel to be treated like a hero?
I gave him a bitter look. “What do you think?” The rules by which the
world works are indeed disgusting and unsatisfactory, but step by step, I really never put myself in the position of overturning.
This is not a game, this is not my system task, this is a real life, there will be pain, there will be happiness, there will be frustration.
Destroying the game is really annoying, is from the heart, after serious thinking, out of reason and out of emotional consideration. But bigger means more heavy responsibilities.
What about you? Do you want to be a hero?
Qi Shi stretched out his arms and lay comfortably on the sofa.
“Me?” He looked at me faintly. “You know what I want.”
I know. Qi Shi likes freedom.
Not the freedom of being forgotten by everyone, as if living in an abandoned world.
It is the freedom to really touch the world, feel its warmth and reality, and then decide to live with a free attitude.
Actually, we seem to be close.
“Ah, ah, ah, so annoying.” I rub my head irritably.
“Well, if you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it yet. Let’s watch the movie together.”
Qi Shi grabbed me with a big hand and snuggled up to me, his hairy head resting on my shoulder, which made my chin itch a little. What movie did you
see? I suspect he may have seen 300 episodes of the other world version of SpongeBob. This film seems to have no end.
“Ahem, why don’t we change?”
Qi Shi frowned and quickly lifted the communicator in his left hand. “No, that’s it.”
Ha? “All right, you see, then I’ll go.”
Qi Shi curled his lips, innocent and pitiful. So, you watch one episode and I’ll watch another? It was noisy
, and the tense atmosphere of discussing serious matters became loose in an instant.
One day, I was strolling in the leisure area and saw a small figure running in the corner.
I feel very curious, how can there be children here? Then also followed the past, who knows to see is Xiaoxi. Surprised and delighted to see me,
she stayed where she was and couldn’t believe it. I laughed and shouted, and then she rushed at me ecstatically.
“Sister ~!” Yo, I got pounced on.
I rubbed her little face with a smile and looked around carefully. Yes, she has pigtails, her face is cleaner than before, and she looks a little fatter than before.
She said that her mother found a job as a nanny here, and she lived here with her mother.
She was a little excited to take me to the place where her mother worked, and I was a little surprised when I got there. She was referring to the forbidden area.
“Xiaoxi, can you go in and out of this place at will?” Not
here, but you can get in through another entrance. Usually my mother has other aunts, the one who cleans, and the one who delivers meals, and they come in from there.
Is this Xiaoxi referring to the passage of the logistics personnel?
When asked what was there, he rolled his eyes and recalled, “Just the corridor. There are a lot of rooms.”. My mother has to take care of a sleeping uncle every day, and if she finds a problem, she has to tell the nurse sister.
“Sleeping uncle?”
“Yes, an uncle sleeps in bed every day. I’ve never seen him open his eyes.”
Never open their eyes, lying in bed, should be a vegetable, right? There is a vegetable in the forbidden area. Why is there a vegetable?
Xiaoxi looked around, then looked at me longingly and smiled a little sheepishly.
“What’s the matter?”
That.. What about the elder brother?
Oh, she said Qi Shi. I pinched her slippery little face with some amusement, and Xiaoxi seemed to be thinking about Qi Shi.
“Come on, I’ll take you to see Big Brother.” When
I took her by the hand to find Qi, I met a guard at the entrance of a passage. Xiaoxi was not allowed to enter, but I said a few words and then allowed to pass.
Along the way, I kept telling her about Qi Shi’s previous intention. I wanted to send her a pink doll, which was really cute, good-looking and soft, but unfortunately I didn’t bring it in a hurry.
“Dolls.” There was a look of longing on Hsiao Hsi’s face, but he comforted me by saying, “It doesn’t matter. I’m very happy to see you.”
But when I really saw Qi, Xiaoxi was shy again. He grabbed my clothes and was embarrassed to go there. He quietly observed beside me. It was not
until Qi Shi rubbed her head with an expressionless face that she laughed happily.
With Xiaoxi’s company, time becomes happy.
Old J just came over and casually asked why there was a little girl.
She is the child of the staff here. We happen to be bored, too.
Xiaoxi hid behind me in fear of strangers, his face pressed against my waist, and half of his head poked out to observe the old J.
Old J shrugged his shoulders and didn’t pay much attention to it. “That’s right. You should think about it as soon as possible.” After
Old J left, I found that Xiaoxi’s face was very confused, as if he had fallen into some kind of problem.
She said mysteriously, “Sister, it’s so strange.”
“What’s strange?” The uncle
just now looks exactly like the uncle who has been sleeping in the room. Did the sleeping uncle wake up? But I never saw him get up.
I put my hand over her mouth to see if anyone had noticed. Seeing that no one was looking this way, he slowly put his palm down. It’s
over. It feels like we’re getting close to some kind of, uh, secret. It is strange enough that there is a vegetable who looks like old J lying in the
75
ward. What is more suspicious is that this person is still in the place where old J is listed as a forbidden area.
We took Xiaoxi to the room and asked her to give us a detailed description of what she had seen and heard these days. It
sounds like this. The man in
Xiao Xi’s mouth lay in bed all day, connected to sophisticated instruments, monitoring day and night. Xiaoxi’s mother would scrub his body every day, clean up the filth, and give him nasogastric tube liquid feeding at a fixed time to ensure the basic physical function.
Every day, a white coat would come in and inject him with various injections, not knowing whether it was nutrient solution or something else.
When Xiaoxi saw Qi and me with stern expressions, she asked cautiously, “What’s wrong, sister? Did Xiaoxi say something bad?”
“No, what Hsiao Hsi said is very useful information.” Smiling, I squatted down and touched her head. “Xiaoxi is super great. Can you help my sister again?”
Hearing this, Hsiao-hsi’s expression returned, and he proudly raised his head. “My sister said.”
The restricted area is heavily guarded, and Xiaoxi can enter and exit from the logistics channel because he is the child of the logistics staff.
I told Xiaoxi to carefully observe everything that happened in the ward: the movements and language of the people in and out, every word they said, the appearance of the injection, every detail.. And tell us the details.
“It’s a game. All Hsiao-hsi has to do is sit quietly next to his mother as before, memorize everything he sees and hears, and then come back and tell me how my brother and I are doing.”
“But the most important thing is to keep it secret, to be very natural, and not to let anyone know, otherwise Xiaoxi may be in danger.”
Xiaoxi’s eyes were shining, as if he was looking forward to the game: “Make sure you finish the task!”
I touched her little face with praise and said something about the future: “We’ll find a way to go out after that. Next time I come back to see Xiaoxi, I’ll bring your favorite doll, OK?”? Bring a few more. “
Hsiao-hsi nodded, but was a little absent-minded. His eyes were quietly on Chi Shih.”.
In fact, she has been like this for a long time, since she met again here, every time she looked for us to play, her eyes were quietly glued to Qi Shi, and she was careful not to let him find out.
Weak, fiery, with shyness and joy, like a little girl who sees the boy she likes.
Qi Shi occasionally looked back at her inquiringly, and then she quickly pretended to be doing something else as if she had been caught.
More often, Qi Shi does his own thing without caring, ignoring those external eyes.
After all, this kind of thing is not the first time, before the sisters together, Qi Shi also often become the center of curious eyes.
But I don’t know why, I always feel that this time Qi Shi is a little enjoyable.
I jokingly asked, “Hsiao-hsi, why have you been looking at Qi Shi’s brother?”
Xiaoxi was startled, as if he had been exposed, and his face immediately turned red, and he quickly lowered his head.
Qi Shiwei looked this way, very calm.
“Is there something dirty on his face?”
Although shy, Hsiao-hsi immediately retorted, “No!”
“Why is that? Is Chi Shih’s brother too ugly?” I smirk.
Qi Shi raised his eyebrows and looked at me like a fool. But he did not move and leaned back lazily on the sofa.
“No..” Hsiao-hsi is about to burst into tears, anxiously clearing her big brother’s name. “Big brother is so cool, I can’t help it.”
She hung her head and mumbled, blushing almost to smoke, as if she had done something bad.
I laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes. Qi Shi how to return a responsibility, from Xiaobai to Su Xin to Xiaoxi, there is no one who is not convinced.
am I not cool, and am I not good for Xiaoxi? If you just look at him, I’m going to cry. I curl my lips and pretend to be pitiful.
“Sister!” Ashamed and annoyed, Xiaoxi turned around and ran away.
I laughed for a while before I went to Qi Shi and sat down.
He suddenly came over, I did not have time to react, the eyes suddenly more Qi Shi enlarged face.
“Do, do what?”
“Take a closer look to see if it’s ugly.” He stared at me, staring with an expressionless face.
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go again.
But when Qi Shi looked at you seriously with his face, he really couldn’t stand it (_)
, but I never gave up easily, so I stared back seriously.
Qi Shi also stared at me seriously, without fear, and even closer and closer posture, as if he did not understand what such a distance represented.
The eyes, the nose, the pale skin, and the thin lips were the only color on his face. But. Very soft. When I saw
the lips, I suddenly remembered the touch under the water.
After all, I was defeated.
= = Forget it. I can’t stand it.
In addition to asking Xiaoxi to help keep an eye on everything in the ward, I also asked Xiaobai about the news of Old J. Mention old J Xiaobai is not interested, he only knows that old J has been recruiting people in C4, which is the biggest force in C4. Lack of sleep
every day: So why didn’t he recruit you? Aren’t you the best hacker?
Colorful White: Do you think I can be recruited by anyone who wants to? No one knows who I really am except 453, okay? Between the
words, the sense of dignity is obvious. But I feel the blind spot is, when did he and 453 begin to sympathize with each other? Lack of sleep
every day: OK, God, we want you to help check a person. Who are you
looking for? Zha Lao J. I want Xiaobai to help investigate old J, to be exact, to investigate the face of old J, to see the identity of the person with this face.
Colorful White: It’s not easy to check. Old J didn’t know where he was from, and I haven’t seen him. Lack of sleep
every day: My God, what can baffle you? 453 says Xiaobai is the strongest.
Colorful White: All right, I’ll do it.
Colorful White: But wait a minute. I’ve been working on a big project recently. Tsk, a great idea. I’ll jump in and check it out for you. Lack of sleep
every day: I have a picture to send you.
So I secretly took a picture of old J and sent it to Xiaobai. The man in the ward could not be touched, so we reversed the operation and took a picture of the old J. Although it is not a positive face, it should be like adding wings to a tiger for Xiaobai.
Colorful white: Wrap it on me. Tell 453 it’s safe to invite me to dinner.
I forced Qi Shi to type “good.”.
Xiaoxi’s task was also accomplished satisfactorily. She described everything she observed in detail, including the man’s more detailed appearance, how many injections he had and how he had them.
“During the injection, the sister dressed in white talked to another uncle dressed in white.” Holding her voice
, Hsiao-hsi could see that she was imitating one of the girls in a white coat: “Playing this every day is not good for your health, is it?”? What’s the matter? I’ve been raising people for so many years in the hope that they’ll get better, but why don’t I let them wake up? “Don’t talk nonsense and do your job,”
she whispered, imitating the man’s white coat.
“That’s what they say.” Finally, Xiaoxi returned to her original tone and looked at me expectantly, as if she wanted me to praise her for repeating it well.
I touched her face with praise, and Qi Shi looked at each other, feeling something was wrong.
It sounds like the person in the hospital bed is going to wake up, but the patient is deliberately prevented from waking up by some means. Why does
old J hang a man’s life, but not let him wake up?
Perhaps the answer lies in the results of Xiaobai’s investigation.
Old J’s side has begun to work hard to implement the grand plan he envisaged. He asked us several times about our choice, but we still put it off for the time being. It has been more than ten days since I
came here. Until that day, I passed the door of Old J’s conference room.
The door did not close tightly, and voices could be heard faintly in the room. At first, I wanted to turn around and leave, but I found that what I was saying might be related to us.
The voice sounds like the man in black beside old J, who may be ten years younger than old J, always silent and expressionless.
“Shall we not press them any more before they have made up their minds to take refuge?”
“What’s the hurry? The video has been sent out. There is no place for them outside. There is no other choice but here.”
Old J answered very indifferently, and his tone was all under control. I pricked up my ears and listened.
Indeed, you are wise. But is it worth it for us to go through so much effort to release the video just to get these two people?
I was surprised.
What do you mean by “expending so much effort to release the video”? Isn’t that video Zhao Ye’s masterpiece? Is it related to Old J? After the
fake video was broadcast live in the whole area, we were forced to go on the road of escape. On the way to be killed by Area A, the old J faction arrived in time to save us whom he appreciated.
That’s all we’ve experienced and learned from Old J.
But. What if it’s not?
What if it’s all just another trick?
Hearing this, my hair stood up all over my body, and a horrible guess came to my mind.
Old J’s next answer verifies this conjecture and subverts everything we know during this period of time. After 20 years
with me, can’t you even tell the pros and cons of things? We need someone to stir up the anger in BC, and there’s someone here who doesn’t have to come forward ourselves. It’s easy enough.
As for 453, you still underestimate his value. He’s not just a person, he’s a killer who never fails, the kind who can kill people openly in the hands of those people in Area A. Do you understand?
Yes, you’re right.. I’ve been with you for almost thirty years, and I’m still not thinking carefully. The man in black lowered his voice.
I was standing there, standing like I was in an ice cave, and the world was like a complete lie at this moment.
Let the people planted in Area release fake videos, forcing us to be hunted down and killed, and pretending to save us from fire and water. Old J is the mastermind behind the video incident, the mastermind who forced us to be sentenced. When
he mentioned all this, he just said lightly that he needed someone to incite and use it for him.
For a moment, I felt ridiculous, and even had a kind of anger of being played in the applause.
Because this kind of disgusting thing is not the first time to experience, I suppressed the heart of speechless, ready to hurry back to tell Qi.
But the moment he turned to leave, the man in black in the room snapped out, “Who?!”
Damn, it’s already very quiet. I immediately took to my heels and ran to Qi’s room.
This position is very close to the next corner, and when the man in black came out, I had already run away. After
returning to my room, I locked the door and told Qi Shi the secret I had just heard in a few words.
He was also a little shocked, but soon he was as indifferent as ever. Even his face was a little black, and he looked like he wanted to fight with Old J. What we
know, we cannot let them know for the time being. Old J wants to use us. He can even do this kind of thing. If he is exposed, he may not be able to do anything.
We pondered for a moment, wondering if we should get out of this bunker and leave C4. But there are other dangers waiting for us outside.
Then the communicator lit up, and the trio sent a string of messages.
Colorful white: Awesome, Awesome, old J’s identity is really awesome.
Colorful white: Do you know how much energy I used, ABC area population database just did not find, I still do not believe, is this person out of thin air?
Colorful White: I finally found that there was an encrypted database on the top floor, but it was not difficult for me. Guess what I found in it? Lack of sleep
every day: What?
Colorful white: He was on the list of former top management, and was a contender for the top job with the former chief at the time. Both of them are very rich. Strangely, however, there was no news of him later, all the information was blocked and encrypted, and even his family seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Colorful White: There is one more thing I don’t know whether to tell you or not. Lack of sleep
every day: say it quickly.
Colorful white: I found his past experience on the top floor and found pictures of him with the former chief and another girl when they were students. The three of them looked like they were having a good time. The girl married into the Joe family. It should be your mother.
Colorful White: Do you think he had anything to do with your parents’ death? The parents who died in the
car accident became the only blood of the Qiao family, Qiao Chen, who was taken care of by the former chief, and the old friend mentioned by the former chief.
Countless beads seem to be connected in series, and the truth behind them is about to come out.
As for his parents, Qiao Chen seldom mentioned it, saying only that it was an accident. Is that really an accident, or is the fact that Qiao Chen has always known has been distorted?
I felt myself trembling, a nervous sense of approaching some kind of truth.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then the voice of Old J: “Josh, are you in there?”
If Xiaobai’s information is accurate, then Old J does come from the top, and he knows the former chief.
But the premise is that the “old J” at the door is a real old J. Qi Shi and
I looked at each other, and our voices were as natural as possible: “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Open the door. I have something to do with you.”
we.. We’re doing something else, and it may not be convenient for the time being. Is there anything important? There was a long silence
outside the door, followed by a light laugh: “You know.”
