"Wu Er, what are you doing?"
A stern rebuke came from the earphones.
Wu Er stared at a window on the second floor of the small building, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "Are you sure that Li Liang is still an ordinary person?"
"Have you seen him?" Another person's surprised voice came from the earphones.
Wu Er looked away and wiped the sweat from his temples: "No, but I have a... very bad feeling."
There was no response in the headset.
After a moment, the person who had questioned Wu Er before said, "I emphasize once again that no one is allowed to have any form of contact with Li Liang before receiving the new order."
"receive."
"OK."
"Um."
Wu Er struggled to pick up his toes, waved to an approaching taxi, then wiped his sweat and whispered: "I know, it's time for me." After that, he hurriedly opened the door and got in.
The taxi sped away, and ten minutes later, it stopped behind a black car on the side of Seventh Street.
Wu Er got out of the car and walked forward slowly. When passing by the passenger side of the black car, he lightly tapped the rearview mirror.
The black car started suddenly and merged into the traffic flow.
Watching the car drive away, Wu Er slowly walked to a McDonald's and sat down on a bench outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
A small holographic image popped up in front of him, flashing an advertisement: I'M LOVIN'IT, and then a "McDonald's girl" dressed like a turkey appeared and took a bite of a synthetic beef burger with an exaggerated expression.
Accompanied by the sound of music and the extremely fast-talking promotion introduction, the advertising images flowed rapidly, like dazzling colorful fireworks exploding.
Wu Er waved his hand tiredly, closed the pop-up advertisement, and turned to look at the "Ronald McDonald" statue sitting next to him.
He suddenly laughed, slapped Ronald McDonald's thigh hard, and said happily: "Did you know? The new world is coming." After saying this, his expression became serious again, and he said fiercely, " No one can stop it!"

North of the city.
By the only remaining artificial lake in Zhongjing City, a wooden building with green tiles and cornices was built facing the lake, in sharp contrast to the New Order Joint Conference headquarters building standing not far away.
The surrounding greenery and tranquility indicate that this is a private place and not open to the public.
Wooden building with three floors.
The ground was covered with a thin wool carpet. A young man wearing a white shirt and casual pants sat cross-legged on the ground with bare feet. There was a small table in front of him, with several antique drinking utensils placed on it.
Thump thump.
There was a sound of going upstairs.
The visitor did not step onto the third floor, but stood on the last staircase, bent down and said, "Mr. Gu, the seventh princess is here."
The young man who was drinking by himself put down his wine cup and stood up slowly.
Thumb, thump, thump...
After a while, Li child, who had changed into a dress, walked up to the third floor, passed by the young man expressionlessly, walked straight to the window, looked at the sparkling lake, and said lightly: "Gu Sheng, this place is too ostentatious. "
Gu Sheng lowered his head, stared at the series of footprints left by Child Li on the wool carpet, and smiled: "There is actually no difference between being hidden in a busy city or deep in the mountains."
"When will Menva's ship arrive?" Li turned around and asked.
"Two weeks later," Gu Sheng kept lowering his eyes, "I didn't expect that you would actually survive."
"Many people are looking forward to my death," Li said as he walked up to Gu Sheng, raised his face and stared into his eyes, "What about you? Uncle Gu."
Gu Sheng's eyes were clear and he smiled and said, "I am loyal to Zhuos."
"Very good," Li kid smiled with his eyes narrowed, then opened his mouth and yawned, "I'm tired. They'll gather people and call me soon."
"OK."
Watching Mr. Li walk down the stairs, Gu Sheng slowly squatted down, took out a silk scarf from his pocket, and wiped the two sets of footprints left by Mr. Li little by little.
A few minutes later.
A middle-aged man walked up to the third floor and said to Gu Sheng, who was squatting on the ground: "The ruler said that the situation has changed, and you must get rid of Child Li as soon as possible."
"What happened?" Gu Sheng did not look back.
The middle-aged man frowned: "You don't need to know."
"Oh alright."
Gu Sheng stood up, pulled out a revolver from the holster under his arm, and fired a shot backwards without looking back.
boom.
The bullet brought up a pool of blood.
The middle-aged man staggered back a few steps, looked at his chest in disbelief, and made an unconscious sound from his mouth.
Boom.
The body fell to the ground, blood staining the wool carpet.
Gu Sheng turned around, the expression on his face was extremely distorted, and his pale face was full of violence: "No, put on your shoes and step on my carpet."
The next moment, he regained his gentleness and said with a smile: "Ah, the new world is coming. We should change the carpet."

Dongjiang Port.
At the passenger boat dock with few tourists, a submarine from Xin'ao City surfaced.
The cabin door opened, and passengers climbed out one after another, stepped on the hull of the boat, and jumped onto the dock.
Although the submarine they boarded was already a relatively expensive and comfortable passenger boat, everyone looked very tired after spending dozens of hours in a confined space.
In particular, there was a skinny old man who sat down on the ground as soon as he stepped onto the pier. He used the book in his hand as a fan and kept fanning it. He muttered: "We're finally here. It's killing me."
Next to the old man, stood a short, fat woman with two ridiculous buns, carrying a bag almost as big as her, and said angrily: "Dr. Xisen, if you don't get up from the ground, you will definitely You’ll miss lunch.”
"Take a break, take a break," Xisen glanced at the woman and wondered, "What is your feeding mimicry value?"
"+7.5."
"Change to +5."
The woman was stunned for a moment as if she was distracted, and then said angrily: "Dr. Xisen, if you don't get up from the ground, you won't be able to stop Zhuos in time."
"Tsk," Xisen got up angrily and hit the woman on the head with the book in his hand, "Reduce the speech frequency to +2."
The woman was stunned again, but said nothing.
"Let's go," Xisen said as he walked forward with his hands behind his back, "Follow me. If you're slow, you'll miss lunch."
"oh."
The woman was carrying a huge backpack and walking briskly.
More than ten minutes later.
Xisen and the woman took a car from the port to the intersection of Nanhai Road and Fifth Avenue.
After getting off the car, the old man took a deep breath, slowly looked at the prosperity of Zhongjing, and said solemnly: "New world? Huh, dreaming."

Massey Bionic Pet Hospital.
Li Liang watched the fat man drive away in a taxi.
Ten minutes later.
A woman got out of the black car and took over the fat man's place. She pretended to be arguing with someone using her bracelet, walking back and forth with exaggerated movements and spittle flying around.
Cross monitoring.
Li Liang shook his head and stretched.
Suddenly, he remembered a key question.
He seems to have no money to eat...
