MTL - Right on Target-Chapter 154 number 1
After leaving the store, Xie Zhenshu found a hotel to stay temporarily, using the number plate that had just been replaced. The living area is already quite large, with old and new buildings lined up one after another, and the streets are crowded with people. Xie Zhenshu wanted to avoid crowds and not be too far away from the store, so he lived in an alley near the main street. He has no luggage, only an operating station, which is convenient for entering Area 14.
The 14th district has changed a lot. The area where the prison is located has completely collapsed, and it is black everywhere. There is only one station entrance, and there are no cars coming here, and no phone calls. Xie Zhenshu can't contact Su Heting. But the officer didn't want to sit still, he stepped into the darkness and walked in an endless direction, trying to find the phone booth on the way. However, there was still darkness ahead of the darkness. When he walked, he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't hear anything. Occasionally, Xie Zhenshu would hope that a clown would come to make trouble, so at least it would not be so quiet, but unfortunately the clown never appeared again.
In reality, when the weather gets warmer and the snow melts, the hotel room will leak water, making the bedding damp and cold, and Xie Zhenshu is often woken up by water droplets. One day, he cut off the connection and went to take a shower. While wiping his hair, he suddenly saw a small leather box on the table.
This was a gift from Su Heting for returning home. Since no one came home, Xie Zhenshu was never opened again. After standing still for a while, he accidentally picked up the box, opened it, and there was the cross star lying inside.
The environment is dim, but the cross star seems to be shining. It has a special texture, smooth lines, and a lot of effort has been spent on forging. Even if it is lying in this ordinary small box, it looks extremely precious.
Xie Zhenshu took out the cross star, and the thin chain hanging from it, he turned it over and found that it was an earring with a small label on the back saying "underneath".
under?
Xie Zhenshu moved his eyes to the box, and a few seconds later, he found another note from under the black flannel with the cross star on it. The handwriting on it was left by Su Heting.
[Please wear it all the time (even when sleeping), don't take it off, please, thank you for the pillow book. 】
Su Heting did not leave his name, but wrote "Xie Pillow Book" three times, and finally drew "=w=". His handwriting was scribbled, as if left in haste, but his tone was as relaxed as ever.
Xie Zhen read the book for a long time, folded the note carefully, put it back in the box, put the box back in his pocket, and went out.
Tuya was adjusting the TV in the store when the door opened, he turned his head and took a look, seeing that it was a book of thanks pillows, he didn't take it seriously, and said casually: "It's raining, you're willing to come out—you, why are you so wet?" La?"
Xie Zhenshu put the umbrella at the door and said, "How is the repairman doing?"
Tuya turned around, lay down on the counter, pointed to his ear, quite surprised: "Let's not talk about that first, let's talk about you first. What are you wearing, Xingxing?"
Xie Zhenshu pulled out the chair and sat down, nodded slightly.
Tuya was even weirder, touched his chin, and said, "You've changed your gender? It's not like your style..." He has his own style in dressing, and he recommended it to Xie Zhenshu, "At least I have to put your never-ending Change the white shirt to match, right? Change to a fluorescent T-shirt, and grab your hair..."
Tuya himself only wore a vest, but he spoke clearly and logically. It's a pity that Xie Zhenshu is old-fashioned in this regard. After some comments, Tuya finally got to the point, saying: "There is no news about the repairman, don't worry, I will tell you when he has progress, and I will never let you wait. You came to ask this?"
Xie Zhenshu said: "There is also Xuannv."
Tuya sighed, and said: "No, I'm sorry to say it. It shouldn't be easy to hide this matter. After all, it was brought back from the light track area. People from all walks of life are staring at it. It should reveal some rumors, but it's strange. Strange, I didn't find out anything."
He has also been worrying about Xuannv's whereabouts these days, not only because of Xie Zhenshu's entrustment, but also because of the failure of his own intelligence network. If he couldn't find out any information, then who is studying Xuannv? The unknown is always disturbing.
Tuya said: "But don't be disappointed, the living area is so big, even if they hide Xuannv in the ground, I can dig it to find it. It's good if you come today, let's see what it is."
He opened the drawer, took out a booklet, and handed it to Xie Zhenshu. Xie Zhenshu opened and said, "I bought it so soon."
Tuya became addicted to cigarettes, groped in his pocket for a while, and said with a smile: "Who am I? Brother's commission must be completed! Besides, you have been living in the hotel over there, and you are too wronged. Look, you say How about a big house, is this big enough? The location is in the urban area, the procedures are complete, the documents are legal, even if Xing Tian comes to check, you can’t find any problems, and no one will bother you in the future.”
Xie Zhenshu said sincerely, "Thank you."
Tuya said: "You are too polite, thank you? You gave me the money, I just helped you find someone. If this matter is changed to 7-001, he will be so proud of himself."
Hearing the code name 7-001, Xie Zhenshu fell into silence for a while. Now that there is no news about 7-001, and he is also isolated from the plot by the 14th district, everything seems to be back to the original point.
The rain outside the shop was pattering, the snow had long since disappeared, and everywhere was foggy and dusty. Xie Zhenshu sat by the window, the silhouette printed on the glass was covered by rain marks, and only the silver light of the cross star shone slightly.
Tuya pushed open the door of the cabinet, took out a bottle of wine from the bottom, and took out two cups, and suggested: "Drink two? Drink it, it's raining heavily, you won't be able to leave for a while, and it's your own way to go back." Shut up, how boring."
There was no one else in the store, only they were drinking at each other's tables. Tuya is not very good at comforting people, so he lit his cigarette and said: "In the past, this area was a stagnation area, full of garbage. Everyone was born in the garbage dump, had no money, couldn't live on, so they had to gang up and fight each other. .My store, speaking of it, can be regarded as a witness to history. It has been open from the old world to the present, and I don’t know how long it can last.”
There are more and more survivors, and Xing Tian's control is getting stricter and stricter. People like Tuya who make a living selling information will be driven into the darkness by Xing Tian sooner or later, because they know too much.
Xie Zhenshu said: "I used to stay opposite."
Tuya said: "I know, it's easy to identify, only the soldiers on the southern front who like to wear shirts and formal clothes, you are more particular than us, and you are more decent than us. To be honest, thank you for your book, you are too honest, you can see that it is expensive Young Master. When I first met you, I was thinking, how could an elite like you mix up with us, now I understand, you are similar to 7-001, you are all paranoid lunatics."
Xie Zhenshu drank half a glass of wine and said, "The only thing I can choose is this."
Tuya said: "You can actually give up."
Xie Zhenshu said: "There is only one thing I can't give up."
Tuya said: "Who stipulated it? Of course you can. Good brother, you go from the south line to the north line, from the old world to the new world, and in the future you may go from life to death. Do you think it's worth it? Life can have There are many choices, such as me, I also loved someone, but I chose to give up, so I am relieved, and now I am very happy."
Xie Zhenshu drank the remaining half cup, lowered his eyes for a moment, and said: "I am also very happy."
He half-closed the wine glass, as if holding a little bit of light and shadow. The rain flowed over his silhouette, as if washing a cold statue, without any flaws. But where is he happy? When he was never frivolous and frivolous, he even smiled.
Tuya sighed and said, "One or two are deceiving themselves."
Xie Zhenshu said: "I didn't lie to myself, you don't understand."
Tuya snorted from both nostrils and said, "Why don't I understand?"
Xie Zhenshu said: "You just don't understand."
Tuya was amused, and suspected that Xie Zhenshu was drunk, so he said, "Then tell me?"
Xie Zhenshu raised his head, and the indifferent eyebrows and eyes finally became more vivid, but it seemed to be angry. He didn't know how to explain, so he looked at Tuya for a while without saying a word.
Rabbit Tooth said, "Okay, when I've made a slip of the tongue, finish drinking—"
Xie Zhenshu said: "I am not an elite."
Tuya never expected that the officer would answer this, he hugged his arms, and gave a serious "hmm" to make sure that Xie Zhenshu was drunk.
Xie Zhenshu said: "I am Xie Zhenshu."
Tuya said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Xie."
Xie Zhenshu said: "I never give up."
Tuya said: "I know, this is also from your southern line..."
Xie Zhenshu said: "It has nothing to do with the southern line."
Tuya was choked speechless, humming repeatedly, but seeing Xie Zhenshu staring at him straightly, he said, "Go ahead, treat me as if I'm farting..."
Xie Zhenshu turned the wine glass, leaned back in the chair, and stared at the window glass in a daze. The rain layer by layer made his figure even more blurred. He didn't make any noise after drinking, as if he didn't drink, so that Tuya began to suspect that he was not drunk again. The worn-out TV set in the shop was not adjusted properly and was still buzzing. He was stunned for a while and said, "If I brought flowers with me last time, I could say that I love him. Unfortunately, I am a dumb person and missed the opportunity." .”
Tuya said: "You can tell him if you don't bring it next time."
Xie Zhenshu let go of the wine glass, propped his face with one hand, stared at the window glass, and said, "I want to give him flowers, picture books, pink balloons, everything, everything, the whole world."
This time, he changed his rabbit teeth to silence. He forgot to smoke until his finger was burned. Then he sat up straight with an "ouch", put out the cigarette, and said, "Okay, okay, I know your happiness, you can continue to look for it." ...the wine is gone, just this bottle, go back to sleep, brother. Oh, I wish you, I wish you and 7-001 all the wishes, and be happy! I did it!"
Tuya finishes the wine and drives Xie Zhenshu out the door. Xie Zhenshu was carrying an umbrella, and only thought of opening it when he walked halfway, half of his shoulders were already wet. He went back to the hotel, there were no flowers, picture books and pink balloons, so he connected to the line and went to the 14th district.
The 14th district was dark, and Xie Zhenshu sat alone at the station entrance, taking out a cigarette from his pocket. He lit it, and when he was about to bite it, he was slapped twice on the back of the waist, and a voice said, "Smoking is prohibited here, sir."
The lighter in Xie Zhenshu's hand almost dropped, he turned his head and saw a black cat sitting behind him. This cat not only sat upright, but also had a high tail, which was very dignified.
The cat said in Su Heting's voice: "Hello, I am Xiaosu No. 1, also known as the first generation lock of Cross Star, also known as Su Heting's small group of consciousness,"
After it finished speaking, it stretched its long waist, revealing the leather collar tied around its neck, and there was also a cross star hanging under it, flashing and flashing in the darkness following its movements.
