[AIC reports for you: Today is July 4, 2015 12:00:00. Weather: cloudless. 】
Black Mountain Technology·Ground Office Building
Second floor office
As soon as noon arrived, the small AIC on Charlie's desk began to tell time automatically.
A thin and crisp voice sounded, and the dark blue round hole looked around quickly.
Boom——
Rolling thunder echoed in the gloomy clouds. In the violent wind and rain, branches and raindrops hurriedly slapped against the windows.
Hurricane Arthur just made landfall on the East Coast today, bringing plenty of rain...and bad weather.
"An accurate prediction."
His black colleague walked down the aisle carrying a coffee cup. He paused briefly as he passed and said something teasing.
"O'Neal, you are just envious that I have an AIC model, but you don't."
Charlie's expression remained unchanged, and he closed the pile of documents on the monitor with a calm expression.
O'Neill was a little unhappy with last year's defeat: "The best employee this year will be me, and I will also get the AIC model by then."
"But you are still second, forever." After putting the computer to sleep, Charlie raised his eyebrows proudly to look at his colleague and best friend.
O'Neill rolled his eyes and left. Charlie turned to clear the table.
"But it's really bad weather, isn't it."
A female colleague with long flaxen hair sitting next to her poked her head over and teased him.
"Hey!" Charlie pushed her swivel chair away dissatisfied. "At least it has the right date."
"Maybe tomorrow it will say that today is Christmas." The female colleague shrugged, packed her seat and left first.
Charlie immediately cleaned the table, got up and went to the canteen on the first floor. There was no way to eat out in this damn weather.
[Remember to bring me two AA batteries, no ketchup.]
AIC shouted from behind.
Charlie waved his hand without looking back.
The employees in the office gradually left. After a few minutes, there was only silence and the muffled thunder outside the window.
AIC's big eyes moved flexibly. After a while, the light dimmed and it entered standby mode.
An hour later, a finger gently tapped the AIC model casing.
If awakened, the round hole of the AIC gradually lights up in a dark blue circle.
【You are back, have you brought the battery?】
"Here." Charlie put the battery in the packaging bag in front of AIC. His hair was a little wet because he had been exposed to some rain earlier.
He stood up again and hung his coat on the hook, sat down again and exhaled: "Why do you always need batteries when you need to recharge?"
From the moment the battery appeared, AIC's eyes were fixed on it without blinking.
[Just like human beings can maintain physiological functions as long as they are full, but they also need to eat barbecue, pizza and pasta.]
"Okay, I think I understand..." Charlie wiped his fingers and turned on the computer screen. "But you just can't see it."
[What do you think of the Taylor Swift underwear poster posted on the wall opposite?]
"...understand." Charlie was speechless.
【Hi! This is not AA battery.】
A few minutes later, AIC suddenly shouted in a childish and crisp voice.
"Uh..." Charlie put down the phone, picked up a battery and looked at it, and found that it was an AA battery.
He tried to argue: "Although meat is delicious, it is also good to eat some vegetables. You can't be picky about your food."
AIC seemed to be calm. It was not until ten minutes later that the employees returned to the office one after another.
It's time to go to work.
The employees began to enter a new round of things. Some were responsible for selecting testers, some were responsible for writing copy, and some were secretly watching the American TV series "Under the Dome."
The storm outside shows no sign of letting up.
The office was dark and no one turned on the lights. The silence, with only the sound of typing and coughing from time to time, lasted for a while until a certain moment.

Untimely crunching sound in the office
More than a dozen eyes neatly crossed the baffle and looked at the desk where AIC was.
【Let me go, let me go——】
With a cold sweat, Charlie picked up AIC and turned off its base switch. The general breathed a long sigh of relief. He forced a smile and explained to those around him: "You know, AIC always does this kind of thing..."
Alarmed by the sound, the manager poked his head out of the office and nodded: "Yes, we don't think you will read these during work."
The implication is that they just don't think he's looking at this while at work.
Charlie's face turned red, and he sat down helplessly, pretending to start working, but in reality he was just typing on the keyboard with a blank document.
This continued for several minutes, and he finally relented and turned on the AIC.
AIC also seemed to have calmed down, and only the mechanical sound of the rotating glasses was left.
[O'Neal, are you there?] AIC whispered.
"What's up?"
O'Neal craned his neck in Charlie's backseat.
【You little nigga~】
"Pfft..." The female colleague next to her laughed and then covered her mouth.
O'Neal shook his head and said, "Charlie, you're going to kiss my fist this Saturday."
Before Charlie could refute, AIC said again: [Anthony, I just learned a Chinese song, do you want to listen to it?]
"I'd love to hear it." Anthony stared at Charlie with evil intentions.
It's been a long time since he gave Charlie a proper beating.
[I want to be inside, within, within, within, within, within, you want to be inside, within, within, within, within, within, the moon is crescent...]
Anthony leaned forward and strangled Charlie's neck.
During the fight, AIC's dark blue eyes turned to the gloomy weather outside the window.
【Today is also a day of peace.】
…
A few hours later, the office had returned to calm.
The AIC model on the corner of the table has entered sleep mode and is curled up motionless.
At this moment, the sound of the radio echoed in the office.
[Starting the base self-destruction program——300...299...298...]
The same voice sounded throughout the Black Mountain Technology Building and underground base.
The employees looked up blankly.
"Is this April Fools' Day?"
"Today is not April Fool's Day."
"I didn't even know we had something this cool."
"The base's self-destruction program...could it be said that we are actually a secret department of the government?"
"You're overthinking it. We're just making games. At most, it's related to technology."
The employees in the office also became noisy.
"Maybe those guys from the security department are doing some acting. I'll go ask."
After a while, there was a conversation inside. The manager hung up the phone and appeared at the door, shaking his head in confusion: "He said they didn't know either."
The countdown is still going on. There are no security personnel to evacuate, and no responsible person to explain the situation.
As the countdown came to an end, confused and panicked employees began to leave the office one after another and came to the lobby on the first floor.
A heavy rainstorm was flying outside the door, and a chill hit our faces. A group of employees gathered at the door, blocked by the heavy rain. It was as if getting wet was more terrifying than death.
And at this moment, the countdown is about to end.
【3...2...1...】
[Self-destruct program starts——]
At this moment, all employees of Heishan Technology held their breath at the same time.
Just listen to the sound of AIC ringing in all areas.
【Hahaha, Happy April Fool's Day...what? Did I remember the wrong time?】
