Time: 14:55.
The sky that enveloped Beijing simulated dark clouds, and a steady stream of artificial rain fell.
According to the morning weather forecast, the rain should stop in five minutes.
There were more pedestrians on both sides of the street, and citizens were walking in a hurry holding the uniformly distributed black umbrellas.
The large and small holographic images in front of the shops looked a little distorted. The light rendered the hazy rain and fog into colors, and then was dragged out by the black umbrellas to create flowing light and shadow.
Downstairs of the Massey Bionic Pet Hospital, among the crowds flowing, there were ten people who were out of tune with their surroundings. They stood silently and solemnly like rocks, their whole bodies shrouded in black ponchos, like ghosts in the rain.
Sudden.
One of them raised his head, revealing a chubby face.
Wu Er.
A command came from the tiny headset hidden in his cochlea: "Operation begins."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wu Er's mouth.
The next moment, his face melted and twisted like wax, and his body shrank like deflation.
Within seconds, the psychic transformed into a different person.
He walked slowly into the back alley.
Embedded in the wall, some paper shells and foam boards were scattered on the barbed wire stairs leading to the second floor. Wu Er walked up the stairs step by step, stood in front of the door of Mesai Bionic Pet Hospital, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Boom boom.
There was a lot of chattering coming from the door, and it was very noisy.
After a moment, someone opened the door.
"Hello," Wu Er said with a smile, "My electronic mouse is out of order." He took out a palm-sized mouse from the coat pocket under his poncho.
The mouse lowered its head sickly and moved the tip of its nose.
"You're right, we're having an event today," the young man standing in the door said with a smile on his face and stepped aside to make way.
Wu Er nodded and walked into the clinic.
The living room was crowded, with more than ten people in their arms, all holding various bionic pets.
Taking off his hood, Wu Er glanced at the young man's back, feeling inexplicably nervous.
This young man named Li Liang was previously monitored by Old Tang's group. It is said that he suddenly disappeared three years ago. Old Tang was punished for this and had a full 30% of his spiritual reserve deducted.
However, this morning, Li Liang appeared again.
The organization immediately reassigned three other teams, including him, with a total of twelve people to follow up. The order issued at first was ambiguous and only required them to monitor from a distance.
So at the beginning, they worked in groups of five and took turns to monitor each other. However, a parade that came and went quickly disrupted the plan, and the situation seemed a bit abnormal.
They then changed their plan, and twelve people directly deployed and controlled the area.
Unexpectedly, what happened next was even weirder.
This handyman named Li Liang actually started purchasing goods and launching a marketing campaign.
Within two hours, a total of twenty-five people entered the clinic one after another, including those who delivered goods and repaired pets.
Only eight people came out.
After follow-up verification, it was found that among these eight people, two parts dealers delivered goods and six ordinary citizens had no problems.
Then, they sent two team members who had not been rotated to pretend to be pet repair customers upstairs, and came to the conclusion that... no matter what angle they tried, it proved that Li Liang was doing business seriously.
Unsuspecting, clueless.
Ten minutes ago, the new order finally came down.
There are only two words: "Close the net."
"Dude,"
A voice brought Wu Er back to his senses. He turned around and saw a man holding a bionic lamb pointing at his shoulder and said impatiently, "Can I take off my poncho when I go inside?"
The shoulders of the man's coat were wet.
"Sorry," Wu Er smiled, took off his poncho, and walked to the bathroom.
There are eleven customers waiting for repairs in the living room. Except for five people who are sitting quietly on the mats placed in the living room and waiting, the other customers are impatient and wandering around, looking here and there.
Wu Er is unremarkable.
Walking through a bedroom, Wu Er noticed that there were two women and a monkey watching Activision Internet, laughing and joking.
Opposite the bedroom is a small utility room. The door is also open and no one is inside.
Walking further inside is a slightly larger warehouse with shelves filled with boxes. There are unopened cartons stacked on the shelf aisles and wrapping paper on the floor. A worker is picking up the boxes from the anti-gravity trolley. Go out to get the goods and throw the parts wrapped in bubble wrap on the aisle.
Opposite the warehouse is an empty room.
All rooms have open doors, allowing for unobstructed views.
There were two people lining up in the bathroom. One of them saw Wu Er approaching and asked, "Is it still raining outside?"
"Yes," Wu Er nodded, "it will stop soon."
"oh."
Wu Er glanced in the direction of the living room and asked casually: "Why did you come here to repair your pet?"
"Isn't it hard to do some activities?" the man shrugged, "I have practiced here before. Messi's skills are good, and Li Liang still takes care of the delivery. It's just normal. Hey, these two people are competing with each other. Especially that Li Liang, you don’t know that if you don’t pick up the money when you go out, it’s considered lost.”
Wu Er smiled, turned around, threw his poncho on the ground, and walked towards the living room step by step.
Maybe they are really too sensitive.
Li Liang is just an ordinary "fuel", just like the thousands of "fuels" caught in the past, just fish meat on the chopping board.
In the center of the living room, the semi-automatic diagnosis and treatment machine was buzzing, and the robotic arm was flying up and down. The old man named Messi was busy repairing a bionic dog, and Li Liang stood beside him to help.
The room was stuffy and hot. Li Liang was focused and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. The gloves he was wearing were stained with blue artificial blood, and his cheeks were stained when he wiped the sweat.
Wu Er stared at Li Liang's profile, narrowed his eyes and was about to get closer, when suddenly, Messi shouted: "Heat sink."
Li Liang squatted down and rummaged in the box next to the machine tool for a moment, then said awkwardly: "It's used up."
"Go get it, why are you standing there?" Messi said angrily.
"okay."
Li Liang stood up as he spoke, passed in front of Wu Er, and quickly walked into the warehouse.
Wu Er was stunned for a moment.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
He frowned and rushed to the warehouse door in a few steps, but almost bumped into Li Liang.
"I'll go," Li Liang was startled, "Brother, what are you doing."
"Nothing," Wu Er said expressionlessly.
"Borrowed it," Li Liang shook the heat sink box in his hand and squeezed past him.
Wu Er took a quick glance at the warehouse and confirmed that there were no windows or ventilation ducts inside. Only the worker was lazily taking out parts.
Then, he took a step forward, followed closely behind Li Liang, and moved his right hand in his coat pocket.
Sudden.
Li Liang stood still, turned around, pointed at Wu Er and said, "I know you."
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Wu Er suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart and said stiffly: "Really?"
"I said it looked familiar just now. That dumpling restaurant on Seventh Street, Li... No, Zhang, Lao Zhang, right?" Li Liang suddenly realized and patted Wu Er's shoulder.
"..." Wu Er twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Huh?" Li Liang turned his eyes, stretched out his hand like lightning, and lifted up the big gold chain Wu Er was wearing on his chest.
Wu Er trembled when the Horcrux was held. He slowly took out his right hand from his pocket and said with a gloomy expression, "What do you mean?"
Unexpectedly, Li Liang didn't seem to notice his expression. He stared at the gold chain and said: "Hey, it's so heavy. How many grams does this chain weigh? It must be 400 grams. Boss Zhang's business has been good recently..." He raised his head as he spoke He was stunned for a moment and quickly apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry, I've never seen so much gold."
Wu Er swallowed and the corners of his eyes twitched.
"Li Liang! What are you doing?" Messi shouted at the machine tool.
"Here we come!" Li Liang shouted and said to Wu Er, "I'm busy now. Let's talk later."
Looking at Li Liang's back, Wu Er subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his temples.
A question came from the earphones: "Is there anything unusual?"
Wu Er put his left hand into his pocket and tapped it a few times with his fingers.
The headset said: "Get ready to take action."
Wu Er took a deep breath, the gold chain around his neck flickered slightly, and walked back to the living room.
At this time, Massey shouted again: "The central synapse is stuck."
"Damn," Li Liang squatted on the ground and turned over for a moment, "I've used it up too."
No need for Mei Sai to talk nonsense, Li Liang passed by Wu Er with an impatient expression.
Perhaps because of the Horcrux he had held before, or perhaps because of the strange palpitations in his heart, Wu Er hesitated for a moment and watched Li Liang rush into the warehouse.
"Boss! Boss!" Li Liang shouted from the warehouse, "Which synaptic clip is there, C line or K line?"
Massey immersed himself in fiddling with the nerve center core in the bionic dog's belly, and shouted without looking back: "Get more C-line."
"Boss, the C line clamp is gone, can the T line clamp be used as well?" Li Liang shouted.
Following Li Liang's shout, the workers who had been unloading the goods in the warehouse came out pushing a pallet truck with the boxes open.
Wu Er glanced at the worker's face and then at the box.
The box was empty.
The worker still had the same lazy expression. When he passed by Wu Er, he said to Mei Sai: "Boss Mei, the attachments have been unloaded."
"Hmm," Massey waved his hand, turned around and shouted, "Did you find it? By the way, I brought three boxes of size H screws~"
Li Liang's voice came: "Immediately...Oh, I'll go..."
Wow.
There was a sound of things being knocked over in the warehouse.
Wu Er frowned and looked around.
Everyone's expressions looked very normal. I wonder if it was an illusion, but the living room was getting hotter and stuffier, and many people were fanning the sweat from their faces.
Why is it so hot?
Wu Er tugged on his collar, feeling a little irritated by the heat.
He turned around to look for the air outlet of the air conditioner. After a moment, he saw the temperature displayed on the corner of the roof: "33 degrees Celsius, warming up."
No wonder it's so hot, the air conditioner is turned on.
Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment.
How many seconds has it been?
Li Liang didn't make any sound for a few seconds?
A thought flashed through Wu Er's mind like lightning. He rushed to the door of the warehouse and looked inside.
nobody!
Li Liang disappeared!
A rabbit squatting on the shelf opened its mouth and shouted: "Boss, is there enough bionic glue?"
grass!
Wu Er roared angrily, pressed his finger on his temples and shouted: "That worker just now, stop that worker!"
