"What?"
"An empty receptor syringe," Si Lei replied, "or two."
The police officer was confused: "...What is a receptor?"
"This." Si Lei took out a photo from his clothes. The photo showed four unopened injections. The light red medicine was sealed in a transparent syringe with a very special style. "We need to find it."
"Then...what if I can't find it?"
"If we can't find it, something will definitely happen to Gray."
Before the police officer could ask further questions, Si Lei's phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the area where the caller came from, and was a little surprised for a moment - the call came from the fourth district and the caller was unknown.
"Hello?"
"Hello? It's terrible, your phone is the only one open right now——"
"Qianye?" Si Lei returned to the car and drove to an open area, "What's wrong?"
"Chat with me for a while."
…
In an unnamed town about eleven kilometers away from the Wawuna Wasteland, Chiba stood outside the communication room of a temporary mercury needle workstation, holding a huge telephone receiver in his hand.
Si Lei's voice came from the other side of the receiver: "Are you okay...I'm working now!"
"I had to work, but I don't really want to go now," Chiba looked at the bonfire camp in the distance. "I said there is a very important conference call tonight - why don't you chat with me for a while? All is OK.”
"...Chiba Masaki!"
Under the dim light, Qianye kept looking at the wall clock on the wall of the back room. Time slipped towards the night minute by second. It wasn't until the lights in a tent camping in the distance were extinguished and many people walked out of the tent one after another that she finally hang up the phone.
After returning to the camp, many people greeted her, and a young man chased her, "Teacher Chiba, the cleanup work in the fourth area has been completely completed today. We will rush to the fifth area tomorrow afternoon. I just made arrangements. The division of labor within the group, but you are not here, I would like to discuss it with you again——"
"I don't have time now... have you compiled the meeting minutes?"
"Yes," the young man immediately handed over a document bound with paper clips. "If there is anything that needs to be adjusted, you'd better tell me before tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll watch it tonight." Qianye nodded, and she suddenly frowned, "I have something, I wonder if I can ask you for help?"
"You say."
"There are some problems with another mission I am currently performing. I have to find a way to make up for it, but it is too late to submit a travel application now..."
"Where are you going?"
"The matter is confidential. I can't explain too much, but it's not more than fifty kilometers away from here."
"That's no problem at all. As long as you don't leave the Fourth District, I can issue you a temporary permit now."
Chiba blinked, "Will it be troublesome for you?"
"Of course not," the young man shook his head, she said sincerely, "If the headquarters hadn't suddenly transferred you this time, I never would have dreamed that I would be able to fight with a senior mercury needle like you so soon. This is my An honor."
"You're welcome... During this period, if someone comes to me, you can help me block it."
"Okay, do you need me to guard your tent?"
"That's the best." Qianye said with a smile, "With the temporary permission, you can sign and seal it and put it directly in my folder." Gu So
"clear!"
The young man held the document and watched Qianye disappear into the distant woods with admiration.
Along the way, Qianye did not enter bullet time. Soon after entering the woods, she mounted a fast horse that had been prepared here and headed towards the Wawuna Wasteland without stopping.
At this moment, the city gate of the wasteland had long been closed. She drove her horse around the city and soon found a gap in the south where the bricks and rocks were badly worn. Following the rough wall, she climbed up smoothly without much effort. .
Due to chelation disease in the nearby wasteland, martial law is being implemented in the Wawuna Wasteland. The streets are empty at night, and no one is refilling the street lights. It is dark everywhere, like a dead city.
Chiba quietly came to the door of a two-story building - this was one of the few houses in the city that still had candles lit. Judging from the still lush greenery in front of the door and the neat courtyard, it was clear that the owner of this house had no Intimidated by the news about chelation disease.
She closed the window and jumped directly to the balcony on the second floor. There were sounds of women talking in the room. They were packing their luggage. Several people were discussing their plans for tomorrow morning. They would take a carriage together to the central city in the northern part of Wauna Wasteland. ——A place further away from chelation disease, where there will be people to respond.
The night sky was silent. Chiba listened on the balcony for a while, then jumped onto a nearby water pipe. She quickly climbed to the roof and walked quickly, silently counting the rooms she passed by until she reached her destination tonight - the owner's room of the small building.
An old man with one eye and a stooped stature was squatting on the ground. There was a very scary scar near the orbit of his left eye, and the eyeball of his right eye was extremely bulging, with bloodshot eyes always covering it.
At this moment, the one-eyed man was doing the final inspection of his suitcase. His women had to pack all the things in life for him, while he focused on counting some important bills, letters and contracts.
"who!"
The old man noticed someone behind him, and he instinctively picked up the small-caliber rifle beside him. However, before he could turn around, he felt the world turn upside down, followed by severe pain in his neck and back——
In the upside-down view, he saw a masked man.
"First time we meet," Chiba held the gun he just snatched in one hand and waved symbolically with the other, "Hello."
"...Woman?" The old man climbed up from the corner with difficulty. He raised his hands, "Is this robbery? I can give you anything, but please don't hurt my life -"
"Not robbing, looking for someone, I'm looking for Charles Jallow."
The old man's breathing stopped briefly. After a while, he whispered, "...Then you must have come to the wrong place. There is no Charles Jallow here. My name is -"
"Don't play this identity game with me, old Charlie."
The old man's muddy right eye suddenly widened.
There was an anxious knock on the door, and a woman worriedly called "Master" and asked what the loud noise was about.
"I'm very good, get out of here!" Old Charlie shouted sternly.
The sound outside the door disappeared instantly.
Old Charlie walked slowly back to the table and sat down. He opened the drawer, took out a small white medicine jar, twisted two pills from it, and swallowed it with difficulty.
Chiba leaned over and looked at the things stacked in the box next to him, and smiled.
"Who sent you here?" Old Charlie's voice returned to calmness, "I advise you not to try to silence yourself. The documents you see here are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many other things that I have kept in absolutely safe places. ... If you have something to say, you can say it well,"
"Huh?" Qianye smiled, "You may have misunderstood. I came here today just to verify one thing."
"What's up?"
"Hesta, do you remember this name?"
Old Charlie's cheek twitched slightly for a moment.
Chiba looked at him: "Or should I say, Helieta?"
