"And, Lao Bi... the people above also said so."
Zhao Fangxu patted Bi Youlong on the shoulder as if to comfort him. He knew that this eldest brother was brooding over Liao Zhong's death, but there was no one to blame for this matter from beginning to end. "Let Chen Duo live... this is a small matter." This is what Liao wanted to achieve even if he risked his life... couldn't you hear it from the conversation that came before his death?"
"..."
Bi Youlong fell silent and said no more.
"Hey... Okay, okay. Everyone, please disperse. Let's learn a lesson from this matter. Let's go back and consider our future strategies."
Seeing Bi Youlong accepting the reality, Zhao Fangxu sighed helplessly and said.
It's really tiring for him to be the chairman.
Not only do we have to do good things, but we also have to take care of everyone's mood. If we weren't very ideologically aware, I might have quit working long ago.
Can't you give me a commendation this time?
Ahem, I'm going too far.
Zhao Fangxu coughed twice, and after sending away the others in the office, he slumped on the chair as if relieved, took off his glasses and wiped them.
"Hey... the temporary worker system... it seems that it really needs to be changed."
He thought and sighed.
He still remembered what Lao Yue had taught him when he called before...
"Don't be embarrassed, can't our land of China tolerate a Gu boy?" '
In fact, there are more than just Gu children. The current situation is different from what it used to be. The problems they have to face are not only the problems of aliens, but also things that the company cannot deal with through normal means.
"So... Lao Yue, is this also what you expected?"
············
"Ah Qiu"
In the executive office, Yue Xiao rubbed his itchy nose, "Is the girl thinking about me again?"
"ah?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Ahem! Where did you say just now?"
Hearing the doubtful voice coming from the other end of the phone, Yue Xiao coughed twice and his tone became serious again, "You kid, take it easy, I've blocked the employees of the company for you, but you don't need to evacuate the crowd, but you said... I I don’t know Chen Duo’s situation, but now you have to take responsibility for your words and deeds, you know?”
"Understood. If Chen Duo's poisonous gas really spreads in the downtown area, I will handle it well and not let the people around him be affected."
"Tsk..." Yue Xiao smacked his lips lightly, "You just need to know the importance."
"Is there anything else?"
"No...when will your kid come back-"
Dudududu——
"??"
Yue Xiao's head was buzzing as he listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone.
Who exactly is the leader? Just throw it away when you're done with it, right? ? So angry!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, Yue Xiao picked up the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, listen, after you get rid of the people sent by the company to monitor, keep an eye on these guys and report any situation at any time!"
"yes!"
············
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just a harassing phone call. Let's continue shopping!"
After hanging up the phone, Sun Haoran explained with a smile.
This phone call was nothing more than a reminder that Yue Xiao was afraid that something might happen to them when they brought Chen Duo into the downtown area. After all, he was the only one at the scene. If he couldn't guarantee that he could control the situation, Yue Xiao would let the execution go. The people from the Ministry first evacuated the people.
Are you kidding me? Is it still called shopping after the crowd has been evacuated?
What he wants is for Chen Duo to feel the fireworks that he has never felt before. Is it fun to go shopping on the empty streets after everyone has dispersed?
So he agreed immediately.
Ah, he should have agreed confidently.
Not to mention that Chen Duo himself is not the kind of person who would threaten ordinary people with their lives. Even if it does break out, he has the ability to control the situation.
············
Sun Haoran and others walking together in a slightly crowded crowd looked a little different. There were six men and two women, with a wide range of age groups. The only thing they had in common was the soy milk and fried dough sticks in their hands.
Although the combination was a bit strange, the group behaved like a happy family coming to the city to attend the event, especially the little girl they brought with them, who looked around and seemed full of curiosity about everything around her.
But not many people actually notice them, or even if they do, they don’t pay too much attention.
There are not many 'audiences' in this world, and most people only live in the 'world' they can access. Most of the people passing by were busy on their way, and of course some of them lowered their heads and looked at their mobile phones. In short, few people paid attention to the actions of this group of people.
A few people were wandering aimlessly like this, and time passed by unconsciously.
"..."
Sun Haoran and others followed Chen Duo looking at each other.
A long time has passed since arriving in the city. If this continues, it will be time for lunch. During this period of time, Chen Duo has done nothing except looking around.
"She is..."
"Fear."
Sun Haoran said calmly.
"Well..." Wang Zhenqiu also nodded slightly, "Maybe she hasn't adapted to the environment here yet. After all, this seems to be the first time she's 'free' on the street, right? She doesn't know what to do, she doesn't know what to do... ...so she could only test it step by step like a small animal... She didn't completely trust us, she was afraid... afraid of the truth of what we said, was she really free? Is she really not going to be punished for anything she did? Punishment? This scene... doesn't it look familiar to you?"
"It's very similar to how she was awakened by Lao Liao's 'temperament' under the influence of Lao Liao when she was just a Gu child." Lao Meng said sadly, "Really, it's obviously just a very common thing... Damn it for actually making such a child feel scared..."
Everyone continued to follow behind, not bothering about who the "dead" person in Lao Meng's mouth was, and they had no intention of going up to help Chen Duo.
Because they all knew that this time, just like last time, she had to take the crucial step herself.
Because it is still almost noon, the flow of people on the street is no longer as flowing as in the morning. There are many people dining at the tables outside the restaurants on the street. There are also many people coming in and out of various shops. It is pleasant. During the lunch break, people seemed to have temporarily put aside their worries and found their own things to pass the time.
Everyone stopped. Not far in front of them was a row of claw machines, because Chen Duo seemed to be attracted by such 'toys'.
"I can……"
Chen Duo subconsciously turned around and asked the person following her.
It was a habit, just like when she was a temporary worker, no matter where she went, people would follow her, and no matter what she did, she needed permission.
But this time there was no answer.
Several people either turned their heads in silence and pretended not to see it, or they helplessly spread their hands and said that they didn't know. In short, this time... everything needs to be judged by Chen Duo himself.
"..."
Chen Duo looked at the people behind him hesitantly, and moved quietly towards the claw machine.
After confirming that these people really didn't seem to care about her, she finally turned around and started running.
"Hum... I finally took the first step. It's not easy..."
Black Guan'er sighed and found a step on the street to sit down, with an expression on his face like an old father who cared about his daughter.
"It should be easier next time, right?"
"..."
No one answered.
Everyone sat down, silently guarding from a distance like watchers.
Chen Duo, who came to the claw machine, looked at the movements of the man standing in front of the claw machine with some curiosity.
This is a somewhat mellow man, with an otaku vibe about him.
Everyone was not sure why this guy didn't work during the week, but after looking at the bags of dolls around him, they suddenly understood.
It turns out we are here to purchase goods, so that’s okay.
Chen Duo promised not to hurt anyone before he came. This fat man should not be in danger, provided... he doesn't do anything unnecessary.
"..."
The fat man glanced at Chen Duo, who was approaching, with some confusion. He pressed the button of the doll machine as if subconsciously. Perhaps because he was already familiar with it, the mechanical claw reached down and quickly grabbed the doll and brought it into the Bonus area' rolls out.
"Well... now we have collected all kinds of machines."
The fat man smiled and took out the doll from under the machine, and held it in front of Chen Duo as if to show off, "Isn't it awesome? In fact, there is a chance that the claw will be given away this time... But it doesn't bother me, I have a knack."
"..."
Chen Duo still looked at the doll in his hand silently.
"Forehead?"
The fat man was a little embarrassed, but looking at Chen Duo's eyes, he quickly smiled and said, "Would you like to give it a try? My goal has been accomplished, and I have extra coins left..."
"Um……"
Chen Duo nodded slightly and took the coin from the other party's hand.
But after playing with the machine a few times, I found that I didn't know how to play.
"Ah...the coin slot of this machine is here."
The fat man thought Chen Duo couldn't find the coin slot, so he pointed with a smile.
"You don't seem to know how to do it?"
"Well...I've only seen it on TV..."
Chen Duo nodded, put his hand on the joystick and button after inserting the coin.
"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you."
As he said that, the fat man pointed to one of the dolls in the claw machine, "It is very important to choose the target. Don't just find the one close to the exit... Most of the time, the clamp is loose. This kind of machine can set the probability. As long as the specified target is not reached, No matter how close the 'number of coins' is, it can't be clamped. But I have a way... You listen to me... Pay attention to the angle at which these dolls lie... Don't hold the pole, touch it lightly with your fingers, and adjust it bit by bit. !”
"Yep!"
"That's it!"
"Hey! It failed. It doesn't matter, just try again!"
"Don't always think about picking up the doll with the power of your claws, try 'hanging' and 'hooking'!"
"Huh? Are you alone?"
While the fat man was teaching, he seemed to remember something and started to look around.
"How about adding a vx?"
"If you're alone... Brother, can you play with me? Anyway, I'm fine!"
"Hey, hey, hey...why did the topic start to go astray?"
Black Guan'er covered his face with a look of helplessness.
The expressions of the other people around him also began to look unkind.
"I'll treat you later..."
The fat man's figure was getting closer and closer for some reason, but Chen Duo seemed to have been focusing on the claw machine and didn't notice.
Under everyone's unanimous affirmation, the helpless black man had no choice but to step forward and pat the fat man on the shoulder, "Brother, do you want vx? Come on, come over here... We can give you whatever you like. .”
"???"
The fat man looked in the direction of Black Guan'er's finger and saw a group of people sitting on the steps, both men and women, staring at him with a look that could cut someone into pieces with a thousand cuts.
Is this a gangster girl who doesn't care about worldly affairs and goes out to experience life?
This kind of thing was too familiar to him in the underworld in Japan.
The wind is blowing!
Snap.
The button was pressed lightly.
The mechanical arm fell again, and Chen Duo stared nervously at the situation in the claw machine, even more concentrated than she had ever been when confronting an enemy.
Caught!
boom.
Fallen.
"Well……"
Chen Duo made a disappointed sound.
He looked at his empty hands and saw that he had run out of coins.
It was only then that she seemed to come back to her senses and look around.
The fat man just now has disappeared.
Well, he was such a good person. He gave me so many coins for no reason, taught me how to catch the doll, and finally left quietly.
Looking back, it was as if nothing had happened. The group of people who had followed her to the city were sitting on the steps not far away, chatting, as if their attention was not on her.
Gradually, Chen Duo began to relax his vigilance.
She looked at the pedestrians around her, walked into the crowd with curious eyes, and disappeared into the sea of people.
"Is it really okay not to follow?"
Xiao Zizi asked Sun Haoran beside him with a smile.
The behavior of the man next to him may seem like a lunatic to those in the company, but he finds it very interesting.
"Let her take a good look at the world."
Sun Haoran smiled and patted the dust on his pants and stood up.
"Um...actually, it seems that someone has been staring at us and Chen Duo since just now."
Lao Meng said hesitantly, "It seems that it's the people from the execution department. They did help us stop the people sent by the company to obstruct us, but they don't seem to be worried that we are monitoring. Just now, two people were chasing Chen Duo. went."
As he spoke, he pointed in a certain direction.
There is Qi attached to the fingertips that looks like silk threads.
The ends of these threads were flies or mosquitoes he controlled. From the moment he entered the city, he set up a dragnet to keep an eye on the other two groups of people.
"Hehe, it seems like the people on your side don't trust you very much either?"
Wang Zhenqiu looked at Sun Haoran teasingly.
"I just love to worry."
Sun Haoran spread his hands helplessly, "We didn't stop our actions, we were just a little afraid of what might happen."
"Then don't you need to worry about it?" Black Guan'er asked.
"No...we have to let them rest."
Sun Haoran's expression turned cold as he spoke.
"This will be bad...if someone monitors her...how will it be different from her previous life?"
