Late at night, everything is silent.
A business car as dark as a ghost, with all lights turned off, parked not far from Gu Shen's unfinished tower.
The old man closed his eyes and rested. He seemed to be sleeping, but in fact he was waiting, tapping his arms again and again with his fingers.
"drop--"
A real-time communication request announcement sounded in the car. Mr. Shu slowly opened his eyes and chose to answer. The next moment, soft light splashed and gathered on the starry sky ceiling inside the car, forming a light curtain.
Nan Jin's face appeared in the virtual light screen.
"Teacher, the containment mission of A-009 has been completed." She reported respectfully.
But it was obvious that this was not the purpose of her call.
"It's rare to see a teacher attach so much importance to a person. He personally sends Gu Shen off tonight..." Nan Jin paused and asked solemnly, "Do you want him to be admitted to the 'Judgment Chamber'?"
"Aha...yeah."
The old man smiled frankly, "I am very optimistic about him. As an ordinary person, it is not easy to survive the A-009 incident intact."
Indeed... Nan Jin nodded.
Since he is the teacher's favorite, it can't be wrong.
She asked again: "Are you so sure... that he will join the Tribunal?"
"Actually, I'm not sure, so there's a bit of gambling in it." The old man stretched out two fingers and twisted them, and said with a sly smile: "I gave Gu Shen a number, and now I'm waiting for the phone to ring. .”
Waiting for the phone to ring?
Nan Jin was stunned.
A series of events emerged in her mind...A-009 escaped, emergency arrest, train braking and separation, helicopter closing——
Such a big movement must have attracted the attention of "those people".
And those people only need to follow the train information to easily find the person involved in the source... Gu Shen.
She suddenly understood what the teacher was thinking.
"Tonight's out-of-control incident has attracted the attention of many people."
"For those who are eager for the situation to get out of control and get worse, it is not easy for a high-sequence transcendent to lose control. If it only causes the train to overturn, it will be too disappointing..."
"At least, someone has to die, right?"
Mr. Shu lowered his eyes and whispered to himself: "It happens that A-009's ability is corrosion. Such an ability can be explained even if the person involved dies in an 'accident' after escaping from the incident. The poor little guy, if he is sharp enough, he has already Are you aware of the danger?"
Did the teacher want to test Gu Shen?
Nan Jin was a little worried: "Those guys are different from A-009. There are no fixed rules. If they start to act, how can Gu Shen be able to resist them? After all, he is just an ordinary person..."
"Ordinary people have no way of surviving in the hands of A-009, and they are not qualified to join the Judgment Chamber... When we were in the car, I saw the look in that boy's eyes. Unlike you, he is a person who cherishes his life." Mr. Shu's expression became solemn and he stared at his beloved disciple, "That's why Gu Shen will not fight desperately, but will try his best to save his life."
"In this case, if you can't even dial for help..."
Mr. Shu's expression became calm and calm, as if he didn't care about anything.
He closed his eyes again, as if talking in sleep, and his voice became softer and softer: "Then it means that I made a mistake. Gu Shen survived the A-009 incident just... by chance."
…
…
"I'm back--"
Gu Shen opened the door and shouted softly.
The simple one-bedroom apartment is empty, thirty to forty square meters, with nothing but a table and a bed. It is not an exaggeration to describe a house with only four walls.
The dappled light of the bedroom shimmered faintly.
Did you forget to turn off the holographic screen on the table when you left? Gu Shen was startled.
"Meow--"
His usual response was a cat meowing eagerly for food, but today's response was slower and sounded much calmer than usual.
An orange cat squatted in front of the holographic screen on the table, staring at the door of the home.
This is a stray cat. Not long after Gu Shen picked it up, its name was Orange. After picking it up, he discovered... This cat is really edible. It is worthy of being a big orange, but it doesn't gain much weight. It doesn't make you fat just by eating it. .
Too many things happened today. It was already past two o'clock in the morning when I got home. It was hard for me to wait until now.
Gu Shen yawned, took out a large bag of cat food, poured it on the plate, "Orange, it's time to eat."
no respond.
Gu Shen was a little surprised that this stupid cat didn't come over immediately. He turned his back to the table and did not see the orange cat on the table looking down from above, with a faint fluorescent light in his eyes.
"Don't want to eat? If you miss this village, you won't have this shop." Gu Shen looked back angrily.
"Meow!!!"
Along with a sharp meow, Tangerine's whole body trembled. He woke up from his dream, the fluorescence in his eyes disappeared, he jumped off the table with murderous intent, buried his head in the plate and ate.
This eating appearance... Gu Shen felt quite disgusted by it.
The silly cat ate and drank enough, then he found a place to sleep and purred.
Gu Shen, on the other hand, sat in front of the holographic screen, wrapped his fingers in paper towels, carefully took out the ruler from his clothes, looked at the silver ruler... He fell into thinking.
This ruler doesn't seem to have the ability to corrode?
When A-009 handed this thing to him, it seemed that he had no ill intentions?
But what exactly does this thing do?
The scene after getting on that subway was rewinding, freezing, and flashing back scene after scene.
Gu Shen had too many doubts in his heart... He thought he could get some of the answers from the people in the interrogation room.
result……
The guy named "Wei Shu" remembered the random story he made up on the spur of the moment while drinking water... Obviously, there was something wrong with the surveillance video of the carriage, and those people had no idea what happened in the train!
What they saw was the normal Line 13.
But what I first boarded was the old and mottled "Ling Ling Yao".
"...What happened to that girl and A-009..."
Gu Shen had no clue. He rubbed his eyebrows and muttered to himself: "The old man said that a new era is coming soon..."
"New era... new era..."
open the Web page.
The holographic screen appears with the special effect of layers of waves sweeping over it.
In the year 638 of the New Calendar, thanks to the supercomputer "Deep Sea" developed by "Alan Turing", the five continents were closely linked by a virtual network. All citizens could enjoy a large amount of practical information and information without leaving home. Extremely fast, super smart service.
"There is so much noise tonight, but there are no relevant posts..."
Gu Shen frowned and glanced at the temporary news. He felt something was wrong. He wanted to type on the keyboard, but suddenly stopped.
The words of the old man in the car came to mind.
["Someone has started paying attention to you now."]
This sentence reminded Gu Shen.
"If someone is really paying attention to me... I have to be careful."
Gu Shen knew very well that the search traces he left behind could very well become clues for interested parties to investigate.
A very light "ding dong" sound.
Suddenly, a dialog box popped up on the computer screen.
"congratulation."
The dialog box shows that the other party is typing: "...you answered that question correctly, which is great."
This is... Gu Shen was stunned for a moment.
The other person's profile picture was blank, but with this tone, it was obvious that she was the girl in the white dress whom she met on the train.
There is no need to worry about someone pretending... Gu Shen is very sure that no third person knows about his encounter with the girl, not even the mysterious "Mr. Tree".
At the first point of time, in the opening photo frame, Gu Shen tried to find the other party's information... But in the personal information and related columns, no matter how Gu Shen clicked, everything was blank.
This kind of blank is not not filled in, but there are no fields to fill in at all... On the small information card, there is no name, gender, date of birth, hobbies, signature, nothing.
blank.
There is only white space.
Even dead people, as long as they have been born, will not have this blank space.
Gu Shen has never seen this situation before. Every citizen of Wuzhou must collect blood and record it in the deep sea database. Only real-name people can log into the deep sea network.
But everything on this card is blank...Is there a system failure?
No matter what, it doesn't matter anymore.
Gu Shen feels lucky now... He feels lucky that he didn't tell the truth in the interrogation room before. Who knew that those guys who drove helicopters to collect A-009's body in a menacing manner knew that there was such an unruly person like a girl? What crazy things will it do after it exists?
He doesn't want the girl to be imprisoned like A-009!
"Thank you." Gu Shen replied politely, and then asked urgently: "I have some questions...for example, who are you?"
He had so many questions to ask.
Who is the girl, what happened to that train, A-009, and that newspaper... there are too many questions to count.
"My name is 'Chu Ling'." The girl seemed to have the ability to read minds. The moment Gu Shen's message was sent, she immediately replied: "...I know you have many questions to ask, but now is not the time. The person who killed you is here. On the way."
"??!"
One sentence is like a heavy hammer.
Gu Shen's typing fingers were hanging on the projection keyboard, and his brain short-circuited for a moment.
"The current situation will be more dangerous. Next, communications will be blocked and the network will be cut off. I will contact you in another way."
He tried hard to digest this large piece of information. The last message from Chu Ling in the dialog box was still the words he said when the train left.
"Gu Shen, survive."
