"How come these two guys are so regular about the agreed times?"
Seeing that the two entrustment applicants responded to his invitation within five minutes, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart, wondering about the place and time the two people agreed to meet.
When it comes to meeting, he only has the right to choose the time, not the location. In order to save time, he really wants to meet both of them on the same day.
In this way, in order to avoid meeting two people at the same time, he needs to plan his time in advance, and arrange to meet one person at noon and the other person in the evening.
Only by staggering the time slots for each meeting can the time be used effectively and rationally, and the awkward situation of meeting two people at the same time can be avoided.
However, what surprised Lin Mo was that before he could speak, the two entrustment applicants were so sensible that they each took the initiative to propose meeting at different times and at different locations.
This saved him the trouble of having to explain.
Lin Mo replied a few words to the two people opposite him in the chat section of the app, thinking that it wouldn't be too late to talk to him tomorrow if he had anything to say. Then he excused himself that he needed to rest early and took the initiative to interrupt the chat with the two people.
After turning off the computer, washing up, and walking towards the soft bed, Lin Mo quickly fell asleep on the bed.
...
...
There was no talking all night, and time quickly came to the morning of the next day.
At dawn, Lin Mo, who was sleeping soundly in bed, was woken up by Xu Wanxue's shout from the living room.
He stood up from the bed neatly, and after briefly washing up, he put on the clothes for today's trip to meet others. He was dressed in an exquisite jet black formal suit, giving the impression that he was coming out of a movie or TV show and was about to attend a banquet.
A descendant of a noble family.
When she walked out of the bedroom wearing these clothes, she was inevitably questioned by Xu Wanxue and Liu Ruoying.
After all, his job today is nothing more than to escort the two of them away from Shenyang, and it is only seven or eight in the morning. It will probably only be noon when they are sent away from Shenyang. There is still more than half of the day, so he is fully clothed.
It is impossible to be so formal because he is a driver for the two of them. It is more likely that he wants to meet someone.
Lin Mo didn't hide anything. He bluntly said that he was going to meet two new hacker teachers and wanted to learn some hacker skills from them.
When you meet for the first time, you always have to leave a good impression on the other person, and it's normal to dress yourself up.
When the two women saw this, they didn't say anything more. After staying at home for a while, the three of them left the apartment together without any further memories, and took a car towards the highway outside the city.
On the way, Liu Ruoying was still wondering why their driving route was not heading to the airport. Xu Wanxue casually explained that she wanted to go on a self-driving trip, which blocked Liu Ruoying's mouth.
As for the plane that was about to explode as predicted, Lin Mo wasn't too worried, because that plane was a special plane that Xu Wanxue was traveling on alone. If she didn't get there herself, the plane wouldn't take off.
Even if they did not arrive at the airport at the scheduled time, the staff there would at best mistakenly think that Xu Wanxue was late. Without Xu Wanxue's instructions, the staff would not have thought that the distinguished guests they were to receive had already changed their mode of transportation.
And the real owner hasn't arrived yet, so the AI hiding behind the scenes will naturally not take action easily. In this way, the plane can also play a role in attracting attention.
And when Xu Wanxue and the two leave Shenyang, after the AI behind the scenes determines that the plan has failed, there is a high probability that it will not continue to waste energy trying to blow up a plane. This unnecessary behavior is not only meaningless, but also increases the risk of exposing itself.
, it is impossible for an AI with quite rational thinking logic to make such a move.
Cars were coming and going in the city, and without anyone noticing, an ordinary sports car gradually arrived at the entrance of the highway.
Following this highway, Xu Wanxue and Liu Ruoying can leave Shenyang and go to other cities. As long as they stay away from the radiation range of AI power, they can take planes in other cities and finally arrive in Night City safely.
.
Although this temporary change of transportation mode also goes against the company's will to some extent.
But as long as the final result remains unchanged, when Xu Wanxue actually arrives in Night City, Kangtao Company will not embarrass an incoming CTO over such a trivial matter.
After all, people like her, who are already at the top of the company's power pyramid, can have a certain degree of autonomy.
...
The final farewell has finally arrived.
In front of a roadside gas station, while Xu Wanxue was preparing to fill up the vehicle with gas, Lin Mo also chose to get out of the car here.
"I wish you a safe journey." Lin Mo raised his hand and shook it as a farewell to the two of them.
Xu Wanxue nodded with a lonely expression and didn't say much. Only Liu Ruoying, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, looked like she was about to cry. She stretched out her hand to wipe the non-existent tears from her eyes and said in a feigned sadness:
"Don't forget us. Remember to finish your work early and go to Night City. We will wait for you there."
She didn't know what Lin Mo wanted to do by staying in Shenyang this time. She only knew that he still had things to deal with while staying in Shenyang.
Although Liu Ruoying was very curious about this, since even Xu Wanxue didn't explain anything, it was hard for her to ask. At worst, she could wait for a suitable time to explore, and there was no rush.
Lin Mo glanced at her silently, turning a deaf ear to her performance, waving his hands and saying goodbye to the two of them without looking back.
When he came to the side of the road, he dialed the city mutual aid hotline and called a taxi. After leaving the destination restaurant, the driver took him to the downtown area of Shenyang.
The street scene outside the window slowly floated by. As he went deeper into the city, more and more commercial shops with neon style and gorgeous decorations appeared.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Restaurants, cafes, clothing stores, breakfast shops... Each store is different, but they are all surprisingly consistent in attracting customers, and they all use the most popular methods.
The eye-catching signboard shines with colorful light even during the day.
In a place like the city center where land is at a premium, no store is willing to lose the opportunity in this invisible advertising competition.
Even the smallest store will purchase a large signboard, and those with strong funds will project virtual images high in the sky of the building. At first glance, apart from the dazzling glory, there are no words to describe it.
After watching these glorious scenes for a few minutes, Lin Mo felt that his eyeballs were a little tired, so he closed his eyes and leaned on the car seat.
It was not until more than ten minutes later that he opened his eyes when the driver reminded him that he was on time. After paying the fare, he turned around and got out of the taxi.
After getting off the bus, the first thing that comes into view is a large shopping mall, which is also the shopping mall in this downtown area.
The disc-shaped building structure has a neon sign on the top floor clearly marked with the four characters "Kangtao Square". Floating vehicles suspended from high in the sky rise and fall on the roof of the building, like a group of people flying in and out.
of birds.
According to the information given by the entrusted applicant, Lin Mo finally arrived at the fourth floor of the mall, which was only one floor away from the fifth floor.
——The huge black floor-to-ceiling windows conceal the situation inside the restaurant. The only store door is also an automatic glass door, which is also dark. If it weren't for the huge sign with the background of waves placed in front of the store, Lin Mo wouldn't know it.
This is his destination restaurant.
In the restaurant, virtual reality technology seems to be used to give people the illusion of stepping into a wooden villa on the beach.
At least when Lin Mo just stepped into the store, the scene he saw suddenly changed.
The floor paved with wooden planks, the stylish bar counter, the southern vegetation used as decoration and retaining wall, the wooden tables and chairs covered with white cloth...
The most important thing is the floor-to-ceiling windows. From the outside, there is only darkness, but when you look out from the inside, you can see that there is a whole other world... He saw the sunny ocean and the blue water surging with the tide.
, even the skyline at the end of the field of vision shows the beautiful scenery of dusk and sunset over the sea.
"It's quite interesting..." Lin Mo secretly admired, and suddenly recalled the [Black Hole Restaurant] where he and Ms. Gloria met for the first time. That restaurant was in the style of a cosmic celestial body, but now this restaurant has become
It captures the style of the southern coast.
"It's just...where have everyone gone?" He looked around the store blankly.
In the huge restaurant, there was not even a customer, not even a waiter. He could not hear any movement except the sound of waves created in the restaurant.
However, fortunately, just when he was wondering whether the store was closed down, the wooden door of the back kitchen suddenly opened, and a slightly fat man wearing a chef's uniform hurried over and said with an apologetic smile:
"I'm sorry, guest, our store has been booked today and we are temporarily closed to the public today."
"What else is going on? Then why don't you lock your store door? And don't you let your employees stop customers who don't know the situation outside?" Lin Mo asked confused.
Apart from anything else, since the place has been booked, at least one employee should be posted outside the store to explain the situation to potential customers who don't understand the situation.
If someone like him walked into the restaurant without knowing why, and was told that the restaurant was already booked, then an ordinary customer might feel a little worse, and his rating for this restaurant would suddenly drop.
Isn’t this destroying the store’s sign?
However, the chef quickly explained: "This is what the restaurant owner ordered. There is no need to leave too many employees in the store today, and a quiet atmosphere must be created... Now besides me, there is only one person in the kitchen."
An assistant..."
He paused, pointed at the door of the restaurant, and continued to explain:
"As for the problem you just mentioned, we have already properly handled it. The door of the restaurant has actually been locked. It will only be opened to the guests designated by the boss. Others cannot come in. At most,
I mistakenly thought the restaurant was closed today."
"Then why can I come in?" Lin Mo couldn't help but become a little interested.
"Maybe the monitoring device on the glass door is out of order. I'm sorry, guest, I'm going to take a look now."
After the chef apologized, he quickly walked to the glass door of the restaurant and began to check the central control data screen next to the door.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]
He pressed a few times on the screen, and a confused expression quickly appeared on his face:
"It's strange, this thing isn't broken..."
He seemed to be a little distrustful of evil. He walked to the glass door and walked out the moment it opened. Then he turned around and stood outside the door of the restaurant. Looking at the glass door that showed no reaction at all, his expression changed.
Gradually becoming sluggish.
After a while, the glass door didn't move...
It looked like it wasn't broken... Lin Mo's mouth twitched, and he saw the chef shut himself out, pointing anxiously at the central control device next to the door, as if to signal Lin Mo who was staying inside.
Help open the door.
Lin Mo had no choice but to walk to the digital screen and follow the simple instructions above to open the glass door of the restaurant.
"Damn it, this thing isn't broken at all, why is this problem happening..." As soon as he walked in, the chef scratched his head in confusion.
Lin Mo coughed several times, attracting the chef's attention.
"Is there a possibility that I am the guest invited by the boss?" He pointed to himself and made a guess.
"You?" The chef was also very confused: "If you are a guest, why don't you know about the restaurant reservation for lunch today?"
"Maybe the boss you mentioned didn't tell me." Lin Mo shook his head and didn't quite understand this:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But I did have an appointment to meet someone at this restaurant today, but I don't know anything about the restaurant being booked."
The appointment to meet at this beach restaurant was, after all, the applicant’s idea. He and the other party had “never met”, so why would the other party book a restaurant for him, a “stranger”?
Could it be that he was in the wrong place?
No, with his current memory, it is impossible for such a low-level mistake to happen to him.
In this case, it is likely that the hacker applicant was responsible for booking the venue this time.
I never expected that one day he would be invited by others to book the venue. This experience was quite new.
"Well, maybe it's possible. In fact, we don't know what the boss's guests look like. It is said that we want to protect each other's privacy, and the monitoring system of the glass door was set up by the boss himself."
Sighing, I finally made a decision:
"In that case, guest, please find a seat and sit for a while. If you want to eat, I can serve it to you first. Just wait for the boss to come over and everything will be clear."
"Sorry to trouble you." Lin Mo nodded slightly and chuckled:
"By the way, can I ask, what does the boss you are talking about look like?"
The chef lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said after thinking for a while: "She is a big beauty, very beautiful, with a good figure, and a head of white hair."
When Lin Mo heard this, he raised his brows and froze on the spot. The smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression was full of unexpected surprise and confusion.
"Guest, do you know her?" Seeing Lin Mo's expression, the chef asked tentatively.
"We should know each other..." Lin Mo's tone was rather complicated, and he didn't expect the chef to tell these character traits at all.
Half a year has passed...Have they really persevered all this time to find this place?
If it was really them, Lin Mo didn't know what attitude he should take to face it.
He only knew that there were countless thoughts emerging and shattered in his mind, and his thoughts were in a mess.
Then under the guidance of the chef, Lin Mo came to a seat by the window, sat quietly on the chair and began to wait.
The chef also served him a glass of fruit juice. He was twiddling his straw while looking at the beach scenery outside the window. Suddenly, he seemed to have really arrived on a southern island and was admiring the rare southern scenery.
After an unknown period of time, the glass door of the restaurant opened again, and the sound of waves simulated by a special device in the store seemed to become more noisy with the opening of the glass door.
And the people who walked into the store this time were the only visitors allowed to enter.
Lin Mo opened his eyes and saw a familiar and graceful figure. The visitor had a slight smile on his lips and his white hair was swaying slightly.
The two looked at each other for a long time, one was confused and the other was happy.
"Long time no see..." The young man's tone was half sighing, half like chanting, and was drowned in the sound of the waves in the store.
Sasha didn't speak, just took a deep breath and stared straight at him in the restaurant, as if he wanted to make up for the past six months.
But after staring for a long time, her eyes seemed to be getting sour, so she blinked, and her pretty face finally changed slightly.
She began to bite her chin lightly, her eyelids drooped slightly, her hair covered her eyes, leaving only a shadow. Tears gathered in her eyes. She tried her best to hold back the sour tears, but in the end she couldn't stop them from flowing down.
, his mouth also pursed slightly, as if he was smiling, but also seemed aggrieved.
Until finally, she raised her head and looked at the man, everything turned into a smile as bright as the warm sun.
"Yeah, long time no see..." She whispered, the thoughts of the past were mixed in this sentence, but the moment she said it, she was so calm, and only the tears falling down were filled with sadness.
