Chapter 1 - Icewine, Tachibana, The Mechanic
"..." In a room, a young man was operating a computer. What was projected on the computer screen was a program, and there was an umbrella on the screen of the program.
"Da da, da da." The dexterous fingers were tapping on the keyboard, constantly entering information. One data after another appeared next to the schematic diagram of the umbrella.
When the keyboard was finally tapped hard to complete the save, the young man took a deep breath and pressed OK.
[Start the deduction, please wait, the remaining must be checked, should be checked, items that can be checked: 444938o12, estimated time: 8 minutes, 4o seconds, 2 hours, 52 minutes, 1 day and 15 hours]
"Ding dong~" The doorbell on the door behind the young man suddenly rang.
"Ah?" The young man looked at his watch in surprise, and then realized. "Oh yes...it's time to pick up the goods."
"What's the date?" Opening the door, the young man asked while looking at the visitor. "Oh, it's you, vodka. Let me think about it, if you come to pick it up, it should be..."
"No. 9 and No. 17." Outside the door, Vodka handed over the two number plates. "I always deliver them as soon as possible. Isn't it just to occupy these two numbers for me and my eldest brother? inete (ice wine)
)You are too forgetful."
"Yeah, but having said that," Bingjiu took the number plate, opened the two compartments of the cabinet next to him, took out two pistols and handed them to the strong man. "You tell Gin that the gun is new, and the previous one has been worn out too much."
It is difficult to maintain the original accuracy. Let him use the pistol less to fire expanded ammunition, otherwise the gun will not stay in his hand as long as it will stay with me."
"You also know my brother's temper. Expanding ammunition is very powerful after all, damaging the barrel and so on... After all, you are still here!" Vodka shrugged, took the gun, looked at it for a few times and then raised his head. "
The grip for this new gun?”
"It's exactly the same as the last gun. I made a direct copy of it after making two consecutive castings. Don't worry!" Bingjiu leaned against the cabinet and smiled. "The last time I changed the gun, I made the grip directly.
What was handed to him was that you were not present at the time."
"Seriously, you are much better than your master," Vodka couldn't help but praise. "No wonder you have such attainments in firearms at the age of 17 and you still got a code name."
"Miu Zan——" Ice Wine was mid-sentence when he saw Vodka hand over a small wooden box. "Is this——?"
"The medicine for breaking up is the latest research." Vodka handed the box to Bingjiu, opened his suit, and showed Bingjiu the medicine he had prepared for himself in his inner pocket. "This new medicine will help you quickly after taking it."
It can take effect, and the effect is similar to that of normal heart disease."
"Oh...new medicine?" Ice Wine opened the small box and saw a red and white capsule lying quietly in the wooden box. "Do I need to return the old medicine?"
"You should keep it yourself. After all, there is no use keeping it. If you encounter any danger, the old medicine may still be able to save your life."
"Okay, shall I continue to work first?" Bingjiu put the medicine into his underwear pocket and said.
Vodka said nothing and closed the door. The footsteps quickly disappeared outside the door.
"Yawn -" Bingjiu suddenly yawned. "Ah... it's not good. In order to model that umbrella, it seems that I haven't slept since six o'clock yesterday morning... I need to catch up on some sleep."
...By the way, there are some people who haven't taken away the guns yet..."
His eyes scanned the codes marked on the locked drawer of the cabinet. "No. 4 is Kiel's pen gun, No. 7 is Bourbon's pistol, and No. 19 is plum wine's scope..."
Bingjiu placed the sniper rifle, pistol and scope outside the door, and left a note, asking the visitor to come in directly if there was anything else. Then he lay down on the armchair, lowered the backrest, and fell asleep.

————Dream (the following is from the first perspective)
My name is Chiha Tachibana, yes, my surname is Tachibana, and I am the same as Ukyo Tachibana, the character of the game "Samurai Shodown" released on July 7 last year (the timeline of this book is set at the beginning of 1994). But this is just a coincidence, I got this
The reason for the last name has nothing to do with him - it comes from my experience.
My original name was Chiba Matsudaira, and this name was the only property my parents gave me... Yes, I have never seen my parents since I can remember. It was my master (late) who raised me and gave me his
The art of mechanism was taught to me, so I was able to inherit his old man's job after his master passed away. As for the specific content of the job, it was to repair or replace the guns and other items that were delivered every day. The reason why I changed my surname to Orange
, because the sect has always had a rule - the skill is only passed on to orphans, and the orphans must change their surname to Tachibana to commemorate Tachibana Wuling, the ancestor of this mechanism technique.
I have almost no interpersonal relationships - I can only say that I have a better relationship with a few people who often come to repair tools. As for my hobby, I just do my job, which is to study mechanical skills, such as the one who is doing calculations on the computer...

The dream was suddenly cut off, and a piece of cloth was pressed hard on Tachibana Qianyu's mouth and nose.
"Hmm!!! Hmm!!!" Tachibana Qianyu struggled desperately with both hands, but was unable to get rid of the attacker's hands pressing on the cloth. The feedback of scratching was also the touch of plastic.
"Go and die in peace!" During the struggle, such words came to Qianyu's ears. "You are a scum who works for the organization!"
A scum who works for the organization? Is this a note? No, your workplace is located in the core area of this stronghold. How come there is no warning at all outside?
The chaotic thoughts eventually disappeared together with the struggling movements.
"Hmph!" After detecting that Tachibana Qianyu had fallen into a coma, the attacker sneered at the corner of his mouth, groped around Tachibana Qianyu's body, took out the small wooden box, fed the medicine inside into Tachibana Qianyu's mouth, and then poured it into the water glass next to him.
of water poured into Tachibana Chiha's mouth. (In light coma, there is a swallowing reaction, and at the same time, part of consciousness is retained. The original Kudo Shinichi was also given medicine in this state, because there is no swallowing reaction in moderate or above coma.
of.)
"Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, fax machine," the fax machine next to Tachibana Chiuha's seat suddenly began to spit out paper, and under the attacker's gaze, it fell to the ground.
"Goodbye, frustrated person, your 'experience' will make Osamu Dazai feel like a treasure." (Author: Osamu Dazai, a Japanese novelist who is good at writing love themes)
The attacker threw the paper and the small wooden box without the capsule on the ground beside Qianha Tachibana, placed the water glass on the table within reach of Qianha Tachibana, and then left quietly.
Fifteen minutes later, in the fire room of this building.
"Yeah!" A dark figure twisted a turntable to death and then left quietly.
————From nothingness, back to reality.
Your whole body feels like you are bathing in a massage tub filled with water. You can not only feel the warmth sweeping through your body, but also feel that your whole body is being massaged slightly.
What the body feels is the paradise of bliss, while what the eyes see is the burning flames of Abi. (Abi Hell is the eighteenth level of the eighteen levels of hell and is also the level with the heaviest punishment.)
The red color of the flames stung Qian Yu's slightly opened eyes. Everywhere in the corner of his eyes, the red devil symbolizing destruction was beating wantonly.
Turning his gaze to the ceiling, a water spout was responding to his gaze indifferently. The water spout was connected to a water pump. What should be done in such a crisis!
"Why is there no reaction...it's obviously on fire!" Tachibana Qianyu tried to get up, but felt that the clothes on her body were extremely heavy.
"Um..." Qian Yu reluctantly turned over and looked at the clothes on her body blankly - they were very fat. "What's going on?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Qian Yu was stunned - his voice was different from before, much crisper. This was because...
What are you thinking... Qianyu shook his head. At this time, it is obvious that the key is to escape from this place full of smoke and flames that can kill him at any time, but - how to escape?
Garbage mouth? It’s really difficult to think about my own body shape.
The front door? Are you kidding me? Half of the smoke that filled the air seeped out from the cracks in the door that were illuminated red by the flames outside. Opening the door would be a dead end.
Everyone will die eventually, and it may be lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. My life is like a feather or Mount Tai? I laughed to myself
"Didi beep beep!" The computer with a black screen suddenly sounded a pleasant ringtone. This was the ringtone when the test of the simulation program on the computer was completed. The detection of the umbrella is divided into three stages, and theoretically it will ring three times.
If it was the third time the bell rang, then he had been unconscious for at least two days. How could he have been unconscious here without being discovered? What's more, he didn't feel hungry.
If it rings for the first time, the black screen time set by the computer is 15 minutes, and the computer should not be in a black screen state at all.
Well, this is the bell after completing the items to be investigated. If you can't get out alive, you should at least see how far your hard work can go.
When Qianyu stood up staggeringly, he found that he was still looking up at the computer that was about 1.2 meters tall???bsp;
The character in the 1989 American film "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" directed by Joe Johnston, who transformed his two children and the two children next door into a quarter size) moved
Arms and legs, the most important thing now is to get out alive.
Wearing draggy clothes, Qianyu walked step by step to the computer and set the program results to be transferred to his own large email inbox. (Actually, it was only a few dozen megabytes in size, but it was quite rare at the time. I didn’t even think about it.
Confirm whether there was a public mailbox company that could provide mailboxes of this size at that time. Because China's 163 could only provide a paid mailbox of more than 200 megabytes in 2001, the setting here is the mailbox system opened by the organization.) After setting it up, Qianyu looked
Taking a look at the flames that were spreading slowly but obviously unable to stop, he took off his coat, leaving only his underwear, and walked to the garbage outlet.
"Hmm..." Sensing the smell, Qian Yu curled her lips. "Fortunately, most of the things I throw away are clean lunch boxes, so there is no smell..."
Pressing the garbage pipe with his back and feet, Qianyu slowly slid down and soon came to the garbage outlet.
The sound of the siren restrained Qianyu's desire to go out. If there was a fire, it would definitely attract firefighters, but what about this siren? The police? Is the target the organization he belongs to?
