"What is the concept of darkness under the lamp? The most dangerous place is the safest place, but you can only believe this sentence three times."
——Lao Bai’s quotations.
Chen Mo stole a car and ran back to the scene of the incident in a detour.
The crashed classic car had been towed away, and the scene was cleaned, not even a trace of blood was left.
It's not like stressing what a field protection officer would do.
He was back again, looking for the kidnapped little girl.
Some things can only be answered from her.
Chen Mo parked the car on the side of the road and began to explore along the road.
The orbital period of the Ross star is only 9.8 Earth days. Although the changes in the seasons are not as obvious as the parent star, there is also a considerable temperature difference.
It seems that tomorrow will be winter, and it's really chilly in the early morning. I hope the little girl won't freeze.
Going backwards along the road, Chen Mo began to search like a needle in a haystack.
At the very least, they couldn't let the law enforcement officers find her first.
After searching for a long time without success, Chen Mo returned to the car and was about to start the ignition when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.
Looking back, it was the little girl.
Chen Mo was amused: "What's your name?"
The girl was silent.
"Where is your home?"
The girl was silent.
"Why don't you speak?"
The girl remained silent.
Chen Mo understood that this girl was mute.
"Okay, let's type it out." Chen Mo dug into his trouser pocket to get his phone: "You should be literate, right?"
The girl didn't respond, but her little hand reached out from the back seat and held Chen Mo's arm.
"You are a superpower."
A clear female voice sounded deep in Chen Mo's mind.
This girl...is the same kind.
Touching the body and talking to the mind should be her special ability.
Chen Mo was surprised, but he nodded and asked, "Where do you live and what are your parents' phone numbers?"
"I live in the Uptown Sky Garden, and my father is temporarily unavailable on his home planet."
The Sky Garden is an uptown area within the Uptown District. The people who live there are either rich or noble. Many politicians and energy tycoons have purchased villas in the Sky Garden.
The kidnappers were either there for money, or the girl's father was a high-ranking official and had his own demands for kidnapping her.
“Wouldn’t it be enough to spend some money to take a long-distance interstellar trip?”
"Dad is seriously ill and needs surgery. People around him can't believe it."
Chen Mo nodded.
This matter is quite complicated.
"What about mom?"
After Chen Mo asked this question, he regretted it, and the little girl's eyes were red.
"Mom passed away."
"I'm sorry, my condolences..."
He was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Do you know who hired the law enforcement officers to hunt us down?"
"have no idea."
"Have you ever heard of the Inspector?"
"No."
Chen Mo sighed.
Now he and this girl are a grasshopper on a thread.
You must not let the girl fall into the hands of the kidnappers, otherwise you will be firmly convicted of kidnapping the girl, violently resisting the law, and killing the law enforcement officer.
"what's your name?"
"Su Lei."
"I am Ye Xiao." Chen Mo returned.
"Your name is Chen Mo, right?"
"???"
"Real touch can tell what a person is thinking." Su Lei returned: "I also know that we are grasshoppers on a thread."
"..." Chen Mo suddenly realized that he still knew too little about his kind: "We have to find a place to stay first."
Su Lei nodded obediently like a cat.
Chen Mo chose to settle in District H of Gori.
District H, which was once the agricultural base of Cote City, was abandoned as cultivated land due to land salinization. The soil was soft and could not support the construction of high-rise buildings. It became a wasteland that my grandmother and uncle did not love.
Fortunately, people who just want a good meal don't care about this. There are not many law enforcement officers to govern, and there are no tax officials to check the accounts. Soon, many people who were unsatisfied in other areas went to District H and started to build their own. den.
The number of people is increasing, the den is getting bigger and bigger, and the population of District H is gradually prospering.
As a no-nonsense zone, the populous H District has become a paradise for criminals.
Some people have rivers and lakes.
Gangs and families emerged. They are responsible for the things that the law enforcement officers are responsible for, and they are the real owners of this land.
Zone H.
Chen Mo drove to the place at 2 o'clock. His nerves that had been tense all the time were too tired. He told Su Lei to go to bed at 1 o'clock and then asked me to sit down and fall asleep in the driver's seat.
Su Lei Kaba looked at Chen Mo who was sleeping, and didn't wake him up until it was dark.
After driving the stolen car into the smelly ditch, Chen Mo took Su Lei around the streets of District H with a big bag on his back.
He desperately needed a place to fix his problems.
The battery of the mobile phone was out of battery, and the bullet stuck in the flesh and kept hurting.
Finally, Chen Mo stopped in front of a large acrylic sign.
He found the alley in his mind.
Bolt Alley.
The alleys are narrow and cramped. There are many mechanical workshops without any signboards. The sound of magnetic strip saws is endless. The smell of welding rods is pungent. Girls with no skills can only eat meat rice. His hair was open, his sleepy eyes were open and he was smoking, and his flowery pants were flying in the wind.
When a child runs around naked on the street, he may encounter a bald old man who lovingly gives him a piece of candy.
Maybe that's his father.
Advertisements for houses for rent are everywhere.
There is no shortage of houses here, and there is no shortage of poor people either.
It is densely populated and chaotic, with almost no law enforcement and control, and electronic surveillance is extremely lacking.
Very suitable as a temporary shelter.
Chen Mo chose a 'neighbourhood' close to the street with affordable prices.
Five-story tin houses made of stacked containers are connected in series with a simple elevator to form a building. Four or five such tin buildings are squeezed together, and the iron sheets are used as a fence to form a community.
In the yard, several women in their forties were playing poker.
The aunt, who was holding a curling iron, looked very proud. She glanced at Chen Mo and Su Lei with a cigarette in her mouth, then lowered her head and continued playing cards.
PIAO is a one-stop shop with all kinds of combinations.
There’s nothing new about a tough guy plus a lolita.
"Two hundred and one months, water and electricity, one deposit and three payments."
Chen Mo took a cigarette and went over.
"It would be better if the space is larger and can accommodate two beds."
The charterer took the cigarette.
"Then the top floor, two hundred and six."
"I didn't bring my ID card."
"You don't need an ID card, as long as you have money." The charterer took out the three of diamonds on the deck: "Hahaha, the dealer takes it all at 21, take the money and get the money!"
Chen Mo glanced at the roof, ordered a thousand and one from his bag and put it on the table.
"I won't ask you for any more money. The extra sixty will be used as a key deposit."
"..."
The charterer took a key from the keychain with a number on it, which was the room number.
Taking the elevator up to the fifth floor, Chen Mo felt a little dizzy.
There was no toilet in the house, and the running water was in a tin water tank in the yard. The house only had the simplest iron furniture, and two camp beds that were old and creaked loudly when you sat on them.
Chen Mo put down the emergency backpack that he brought back when he escaped, and took out the white box from the bag.
Without a seed remover, the bullet can only be removed manually.
Pressing the spot where the bullet had penetrated, Chen Mo took off his shirt, revealing his bronze tendons.
Although he has the ability to heal himself, the healed wounds will still leave scars.
Scar's gunshot wounds were all over his body, which looked shocking.
Su Lei was not as timid as other girls, so she tilted her head and looked at Chen Mo.
The scalpel cut open the skin and muscles, and scissors were used to support the muscles to prevent them from healing. Chen Mo gritted his teeth and picked up the tweezers.
He had to hold on to the wound and find the location of the bullet, which was still behind his back. Chen Mo was in a hurry and tried to remove the bullet twice without success.
The hand trembled, and the scissors holding the muscle slipped. After a while, the wound healed.
"Grass!"
Chen Mo was a little irritable.
A small white hand took the tweezers.
"Hold on, I'll get it."
"good."
Chen Mo nodded.
After re-cutting the muscle, Su Lei carefully clipped the bullet out of the muscle. She originally thought of disinfecting the wound with alcohol, but the wound healed immediately.
He put his little hand on Chen Mo's back.
"Does it hurt?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
"Won't you get infected?"
"No, I won't get sick or get infected."
"You won't die either?"
Chen Mo was silent for a moment.
"Yes, everyone will die, and I am no exception."
Su Lei was thoughtful.
Chen Mo touched her head.
"I have to do something. Don't go anywhere. Don't open the door if others ask. Just wait for me here."
Su Lei grabbed Chen Mo's hand.
"I'm hungry."
"..."
Chen Mo then remembered that Su Lei hadn't eaten anything since last night.
Lead Su Lei out of the rental house and go straight to the back street of Bolt Alley.
There are many food stalls in the alley, with greasy moths (about the same as flies on the home planet) flying around, and the tables and chairs are tattered and rusty.
A swill bucket containing kitchen waste is placed outside the house.
But it doesn't affect business at all.
The cooks tipped their frying spoons and smoked in their mouths. When the pot was cooked, they would bang the rim of the pot loudly with the spoons, and a crowd of diners would gather around them.
There is no other reason, just two words - cheap.
A large plate of salty and spicy field mouse meat costs only five yuan, along with unlimited supply of dead-noodle steamed buns and all-you-can-drink eggless seaweed and egg drop soup for one yuan and a half, which is considered a cheap bowl for the poor people in District H.
After finding a stall where the swill had just been poured, Chen Mo ordered a large portion of roasted field mice, five large steamed buns and a bucket of 'large water'.
Su Lei flipped through the menu for a long time before ordering a small roasted frog meat.
Chen Mo was a little surprised.
"Can you handle this?"
"The chicken is okay."
"A frog is... a frog."
Su Lei's expression changed drastically, and she quickly removed the frog and replaced it with spicy roasted cauliflower.
"'Big water' is distilled water, you can drink it. There is organic oil in the egg drop soup, and people from the city can't stand it after drinking it."
Su Lei nodded.
Forcing herself to finish her meal to replenish her energy, Su Lei followed Chen Mo, winding around to a remote dark alley.
Su Lei held Chen Mo's hand and knew that he meant no harm, so she didn't panic at all.
Looking around, there were few people at the moment. Chen Mo pulled open a tire embedded in the ground with ease, and opened a gap with the secret door embedded in the wall.
Not long after, a Mediterranean head emerged from the crack in the door.
"What kind of day is it like to come here to buy things? Ah... Nite Owl, please come in quickly."
The old man's face was wrinkled and he smiled like a chrysanthemum.
The secret door had three internal locks, and it took the old man a long time to open the door.
Chen Mo pulled Su Lei inside.
Inside the secret door is a medium-sized warehouse filled with various electronic products and contraband that have been hacked to verify information.
There are even a few mechanical prosthetics with numbers erased.
"Old dog, I need two identity cards, a laptop with gateway information, five bearer phone cards, and three three-proof mobile phones." Chen Mo sat on the sofa and motioned Su Lei to come to him.
The old dog shook his head.
"Electronic products are easy to talk about, but identity cards... I can't make a Type C identity card without an intranet [Note 1]."
"Just a D-type ID card that can pass the daily inspection."
"That's no problem."
The old dog tremblingly pulled out a blue background board and took photos of Chen Mo and Su Lei.
As if he was born to do this, the veteran, trembling like an old dog like Parkinson's, took photos of the two of them as if they were at the scene of a murder.
To be honest, if you compare the photo on the ID card with the real person, you can vaguely recognize Chen Mo and Su Lei by looking at the outline of their facial features.
But let’s talk about similarities… Anyway, it’s a bit difficult to tell the two apart based on photos alone.
Later, Lao Gou used the secondary authority to enter the public network and transmitted the forged information of Chen Mo and the two to the Life Network. As long as it was not the law enforcement officer's network system, no one could tell that the identity cards of the two were fake.
Throwing the still warm ID card to Chen Mo, Lao Gou took out the items from the shelves one by one according to the list, carefully wiped off the fingerprints on them, put them in a sealed bag and placed them on the table.
"The total is..." The old dog clicked on the calculator: "Three thousand seven hundred and sixty-four, regular patrons, you can get it for three thousand seven."
"One more thing."
Chen Mo plugged in the laptop.
"Help me check something out."
"It's easy to say, I'll give it to you." The old dog smiled.
"Can I check the prosthetic limb information on the Law Enforcement Agency's intranet?"
The old dog's smile disappeared and he looked embarrassed.
"This... Mr. Xiao, you also know that the intranet permission I bought has expired."
"Try it, if it doesn't work, say no more."
"good."
After inserting the USB flash drive into the laptop and installing the scheduled program, the intranet login interface was opened.
The deciphering reading stuck at 80% and then went black, indicating that the deciphering failed.
The old dog shook his head.
He has tried this countless times, but if he succeeds once, he doesn't have to spend a lot of money to buy intranet access from the inspector.
"I can't help it, Mr. Xiao, my abilities are really limited... If you really want the authority of the entire intranet, why don't you go directly to your colleagues?"
"I'm wanted on a headhunting website, worth thirty thousand dollars." Chen Mo looked at today's news on the headhunting website on his phone with an expressionless expression: "Do you want to make this money?"
"When you make money, you have to spend it with your life." The old dog bared his big yellow teeth that were half rotten.
Chen Mo was about to put away his computer when a pair of small hands pressed on his.
"I'll try." Su Lei's voice sounded in Chen Mo's heart.
The old dog glanced at Su Lei and wanted to speak but didn't ask.
"My sister, you can trust me."
The old dog nodded.
At this age, he doesn't want to be targeted by law enforcement officers.
Su Lei unplugged the USB flash drive, then downloaded some software from a forum with a green interface, and opened the intranet login interface just now. Her little hands turned into lightning, and she didn't know what was being hit.
As a software dialog box popped up, and the mouse clicked YES, the screen interface turned black, and a series of green raw data streams dropped.
The old dog's eyes widened.
"Your sister is a hacker?!"
Neither Chen Mo nor Su Lei spoke.
Su Lei focused on the data flow, while Chen Mo looked at Su Lei.
After a while, the computer layout returned to normal, and the system had logged into the intranet.
"Wucao." Old Dog couldn't help but praise: "Having such a girl, Mr. Xiao is really more powerful than a tiger."
"Stop flattering me." Chen Mo remained expressionless: "Old dog, do you know that you have blue electronic eyes?"
"Blue electronic eyes?" The old dog shook his head: "I've never seen it before... Huh? Wait, is it possible that you are talking about blue laser eyes?"
"I can't tell the difference."
"Hello, the blue laser eye looks similar to the electronic eye, but it will light up independently, like a light bulb. It is an experimental product produced by Changfeng Prosthetic Company a few years ago, but I have never heard of anyone in the Law Enforcement Agency equipping it?"
"Check it on the intranet."
"good."
Lao Gou logged into the Law Enforcement Agency information and searched around, but could not find the law enforcement officer who loaded Changfeng's experimental products.
"Not from the Law Enforcement Agency?" Chen Mo pondered for a moment, then an idea flashed in his mind: "Check the law enforcement officers who have resigned or been fired."
Not long after, three characters equipped with Changfeng laser eyes appeared on the computer.
One died in the line of duty, and the other went overseas to Europe.
There is also Liu Liang, the head of the security department of the AC Development Company in Shangcheng District, Cote City.
Short chin, familiar blue eyes.
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes.
[Explanation 1]: A type A identity card can enter the upper city, which is equivalent to a city-wide pass, and can be regarded as exclusive to elites.
Class B ID cards cannot enter the upper town, but the AH area in the lower town of Gori can be accessed unimpeded, and can be regarded as approximately well-off to middle-class.
Class C ID cards cannot enter the AC area of Gori Lower City, and can only live in the DH area where public security is relatively poor. They can be regarded as migrant workers.
Class D identity cards can only stay in the worst area, District H. They basically have no second permission except to enter the city, which is equivalent to being a refugee.
