Under the strong request of Chief Nanami, the two of them put their canes back into the brocade box.
Jiang Xueming can only bring a bottle of air-conditioning refrigerant, and Bu Liuxing can only bring two boxes of egg tarts at most. They are not allowed to go out without permission from their superiors.
The two had to be obedient - because all the ammunition was in the hands of Chief Nanami, and if they didn't obey, they would not be given bullets.
They followed Chief Nanami to Room 505 on the fifth floor, maintaining absolute silence along the way.
Until Chief Nanami knocked on the door of the living room and said to Jiang Xueming in Chinese: "Next, let's start your work."
Xueming walked towards the door and looked around. The person who opened the door to greet the guest was a Caucasian woman in her thirties, with orange-red hair, dressed in a very ordinary casual home style.
This lady can speak Chinese and has a northern accent.
"Where did you two come from?"
Jiang Xueming responded casually: "He's from the station."
Bu Liuxing immediately followed him. He felt very cordial when he heard the Chinese, and he had a familiar attitude: "The boss arranged the work, so why don't you come here!~"
The wife went to the kitchen and ordered as she walked: "Ah, come in and sit down wherever you want. There is no tea at home. How about I boil some water and you guys play with my baby for a while first?"
"Okay, then..." Jiang Xueming was about to say something polite.
Chief Nanami threw two thermos bottles from the gate and threw them into the hands of the two passengers.
She made silent lip reading——
"——Don't drink the water in the house"
Only then did Jiang Xueming remember that the investigation target this time also included the water tower in Area B15. There must be something wrong with the tap water system, which is why Chief Nanami is so cautious.
"Don't bother me! We brought water!" Bu Liuxing received the thermos bottle and started shouting: "We are a family when we enter the door!~ Why should we be so polite!"
"That's not okay. You drink yours and I'll prepare mine." The wife was still busy at the kitchen counter, as if she was clearing away the non-existent bowls. "We have guests coming..."
At this point, the woman turned her head and stared blankly at the entrance from the backlight of the kitchen, her eyes becoming lifeless: "How can I be idle when guests are coming?"
All of a sudden, Bu Liuxing broke out in cold sweat. Before he could stay any longer - Jiang Xueming pulled Ah Xing's sleeves and pulled him to the living room.
The two walked out of the entrance hall and saw the family's children sitting in front of the TV.
He is an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. He has orange-red hair just like his mother, but his hair color is lighter.
The little guy sat on the worn carpet and stared at the TV - but the TV was broken long ago, there was no picture, only darkness.
Jiang Xueming had no intention of disturbing these [outlaws] left in the world. He just found a seat to sit down, took out his mobile phone and turned on the video function, steady his hands, and took pictures of this weird family.
I heard another call coming from the kitchen.
The wife shouted to her son.
"Baby! Play with your two big brothers for a while, don't watch TV all the time, you'll make people look stupid!"
"Okay..." The little guy didn't have much energy, so he reluctantly ran to the TV that was already working and pressed the power button.
Then he looked at the two passengers, his eyes wandering, and finally ran to Ah Xing and found an empty wooden box under the coffee table.
"Brother, let's play chess?"
"Play chess?" Bu Liuxing looked at the empty wooden box in confusion - there was no chess in it, and there was nothing except some dry and cracked textures.
The little guy took something out of the empty box, as if holding an invisible chess piece in his hand.
"That's it, chess. You are Chinese. You don't know chess even if you don't know it, right?"
Ah Xing felt unsure, so he had to ask Xueming for help, "Brother Ming... what should I do?"
Xueming's attitude was very firm: "Refuse."
If you can't see anything suspicious, just refuse it. Chief Nanami seemed to have agreed to the cleaning staff's request to bring the broom back for her. If she didn't do it, there wouldn't be any good results.
Axing could only apologize with a smile: "I'm sorry...I can't play chess with you, little brother."
"Enrico! You call me Enrique! Our family's last name is this! Don't treat me like a child." The little guy immediately became unhappy, "If you don't like Chinese chess, can you play chess with me?"
He didn't wait for Ah Xing to refuse.
Jiang Xueming immediately asked: "Why do you want to play chess? Enrique."
"My mother wants me to play with you." Enrique showed an innocent and happy expression: "Our family came here to make friends with chess and learn Chinese. Could it be that..."
The child glanced at Bu Liuxing with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"This brother, can't you play chess? Have you never learned it? I can teach you!~"
Then he glanced at Jiang Xueming.
"Brother, don't you know how to play chess? Then I'm afraid we don't have anything else to play at home. How about I turn on the TV again and we can watch TV together?"
"Who said I can't do it anymore... This brat actually looks down on me..." Bu Liuxing gritted his teeth and asked Xueming to pull him back to sit on the dirty sofa.
Jiang Xueming didn't say anything, he just observed the interior decoration carefully, and there was a desk calendar with the date on December 31, 1990.
It seems that the time of this family building has stopped forever.
The kid named Enrique in front of him is probably old enough to be their uncle.
"You don't have to be so polite. Just follow your daily habits and just pretend we don't exist." Jiang Xueming held the thermos cup with one hand and held the suitcase tightly with the other.
Those were the "bait bombs" prepared by Commander Nanami for the two of them. If anything happened, Jiang Xueming would immediately throw them out and then take out the gun from his plastic cloak.
He thought about it carefully, and he still had 150 rounds of P90 ammunition in reserve. It shouldn't be a big problem to incapacitate the mother and son - as long as the 5.77mm caliber submachine gun bullets could break the limbs of these [desperadoes].
When Enrique, a child, heard Jiang Xueming's answer, he felt relieved. Finally he no longer had to work hard in front of his brothers. He ran back to the TV and pressed the power button, sat down on the carpet and continued to watch TV programs.
Within a minute, the hostess's furious orders came from the kitchen.
"Baby! What are you doing?! I want you to play with your two brothers! Why are you still watching TV? It's so noisy!"
The wife rushed out with a rusty kitchen knife——
——That scene frightened Ah Xing, and Xueming wanted to directly draw his gun to deal with these two weird new friends.
Fortunately, the lady didn't do anything extreme. She just waved the knife a few times and scolded her son for not being polite.
"Baby! I see you've been like this all day! You have no energy at all. Mom, I'm really worried! Do you know?! I'm really worried! It's hard for you to have guests at home. Could it be that you...
.....”
Before mother finished speaking——
"——It's obvious that my two brothers don't want to play with me!" Enrique felt aggrieved and was about to shed tears.
Jiang Xueming looked carefully and saw that the tears in the little boy's eyes seemed to be stained with black stains, like oil.
"Oh...that's it..." The wife calmed down immediately, but was a little disappointed, "Guests, is it that our child is not lively enough? Is it that he is not good enough? Why are you not willing to talk to him?"
Jiang Xueming was about to refuse.
I heard my wife say something, and her face immediately changed. She spoke in Italian mixed with Chinese, and started talking nonsense.
"That's right...he is lifeless...and refuses to exercise...I...I am also lifeless...I am really an [Sventura·unfortunate] woman...I think my husband doesn't want to come back.
Home, also because...the baby and I are both lifeless..."
"It's nothing! Oh! Madam!" Bu Liuxing immediately stood up, grabbed Enrique with his height and wingspan of more than 190 centimeters, and began to do radio gymnastics holding hands with each other. "Look! Madam! Look
This energetic guy! How damn lively is he?"
Before Enrique could realize what was happening, he felt that his limbs were firmly grasped by the giant chimpanzee and began to swing wildly.
Bu Liuxing took Enrique's arms and opened, closed, flexed and stretched them: "One, two, three, four! Two, two, three, four! Three, two, three, four! Jumping motion! Go!"
"Oh..." The wife didn't see her baby's expression clearly for a moment, and was a little confused: "Then...I'll go ahead and boil the water. You guys wait a minute, it'll be ready soon."
When my wife returned to the kitchen, she heard the kettle screaming.
Enrique was stunned for a while under Brother Asing's command. Just now, he was like a puppet in mid-air, jumping up and down, throwing and catching. This set of gymnastics was almost equal to the amount of exercise he had done for more than half a year.
.
"Wow..." Enrique's eyes sparkled as he looked at Ah Xing's muscular body: "Brother! Why are you so strong!"
Bu Liuxing smiled and showed off the muscles on his arms, "Of course they are made through training!"
"Then can I be as tall and big as you?" Enrique was very envious.
Bu Liuxing touched the child's head: "Of course! As long as you are willing to exercise, ask your mommy to make delicious food for you! Eat more and exercise more, you will be like a bamboo shoot, you can grow very tall if you don't pay attention.
Taller!"
"Really? You won't lie to me, right?" Enrique seemed to have thought of something sad and looked at Ah Xing with disappointment: "I have been here for a long, long, long time... and I haven't grown up yet.
..."
Bu Liuxing patted his chest: "I won't lie to you!"
Speaking of which——
——The wife came out with a kettle and a teacup.
"The tea at home has been drunk long ago, and my husband has not come home. If he can come back, he can also bring some snacks to entertain you two. I'm sorry..."
Jiang Xueming saw two teacups falling on the table.
The boiling water in the cup was full of rust, and there was some black grease floating on it.
Chief Nanami is right, there seems to be a problem with the water source here.
...
...
Everything goes fine next -
——The two of them avoided the important and took the easy, chatting with the mother and son about their daily life.
According to their investigation, this family lives in the dormitory of the McDonald's restaurant downstairs, and the family of three is Italian.
According to the mother and son, who came to live in this city in 1980, it has been exactly ten years since they arrived today.
Their time seems to have stayed on December 31, 1990 forever.
Occasionally Enrique would mention the TV, and all the TV programs were playing the same day's content. This was true for the Chinese, English and Japanese channels.
The little baby talked about these things smoothly and naturally, without feeling anything strange.
Enrique's mother often mentioned that her husband, because it was New Year's Eve, McDonald's prepared a New Year's dinner for the workers, and he had to work overtime until very late.
...
...
At this time, Jiang Xueming realized that the prosperous scene he saw when he entered the family building just now were all entertainment activities that people stopped working and closed during the New Year holiday.
As for the city's original name and its original functions, Jiang Xueming failed to give a rough idea despite repeated hints.
Probably in 1990, these things were considered beta-level secrets. Ordinary families who worked as McDonald's employees in their family buildings had no idea what this city was for. They only knew that working here made money very quickly - Male
The owner can support the whole family with just one job.
After getting favor from the station, he came to work underground.
I don't know if this is luck or misfortune.
...
...
Jiang Xueming pulled Ah Xing up and prepared to leave.
"Are you leaving?" Mrs. Enrique quickly stood up with the child.
Little Enrique also looked anxious: "Brother! Brother! Will you come to see me again?"
Jiang Xueming was about to say "no".
Bu Liuxing immediately replied: "I will definitely come when I have time!"
"Brother! How about this, brother! You take me to play ball? You Chinese are great at table tennis! I want to grow up! I want to grow up!" Little Enrique pulled on Bu Meteor's plastic cloak - Ah
Xing accidentally failed to protect him, and the gun in his arms was almost exposed.
"Yes, we agreed to let our baby play with you for a while..." Mrs. Enrique looked embarrassed and ashamed: "The reception was not good enough. I see that you didn't even get a drink of water."
Seeing that the child refused to let go, Bu Liuxing had no choice but to ask Brother Ming for help.
Jiang Xueming looked at little Enrique's eager eyes, and then saw Mrs. Enrique rummaging around in the room, as if she still had something to ask for.
"That's right! Wait! Wait!"
After a while, Mrs. Enrique pulled out a trombone and thrust it into Bu Liexing's hand.
Ah Xing said quickly: "No! No! This thing will be considered a cultural relic in a few years, it's too valuable."
"It's not for you, I want to ask you for a favor." Mrs. Enrique explained quickly: "My husband plays the trumpet in the club band. There is a New Year's Eve cultural performance today, and he has to prepare event meals.
, I forgot to bring this with me when I went out...I just wanted you to send it over..."
Bu Liuxing glanced at Xueming.
Xueming nodded, wondering again why Mrs. Enrique didn't react at all when she heard the word "cultural relics."
"Okay! I helped you with this, McDonald's, right? I just happened to want to go there!" Ah Xing immediately took the trombone back into his hand. The copper instrument was not rusty yet. It seemed that the original owner had done a good job in maintaining it.
.
As for this kid who's holding on to Ah Xing and won't let go...
"Come with us." Jiang Xueming thought, if it was just a child - maybe he could be a guide. Children are symbols of vitality, and adults rarely get angry in front of children.
And if this kid really loses his mind and transforms into a cruel and weird [desperate], it shouldn't be difficult to deal with him based on his physique.
So he asked again: "If we follow little Enrique, can we find your husband?"
"Ask him to take you to look for it, and you will definitely find it." Mrs. Enrique nodded fiercely, almost crying with joy, bowed to thank you two, and pointed to the egg tarts on the tea table: "I asked you to bring a gift, this
How much does the dessert cost? The packaging is so beautiful, isn’t it expensive?”
"Cheap, cheap! Very cheap!" Bu Liuxing took little Enrique in hand and hurried out, anxious to have a meal at McDonald's.
Jiang Xueming helped his wife to open the door.
"After we deliver the trombone, we will chat with your husband and play table tennis together, and then we will send your child back."
...
...
When little Enrique arrived in the corridor, he couldn't stop for a moment. He and Asing kept chatting away.
We asked each other about their zodiac signs, and about the little girlfriends we saw each other in.
Chief Nanami saw Jiang Xueming and Bu Liuxing, one holding the left hand and the other holding the right hand, running out of the house with a boy.
She covered her forehead, feeling a splitting headache, and explained in Japanese: "I told you not to bring strange things in, and I didn't tell you to bring strange things out..."
Bu Liuxing understood: "Yes... you didn't say it."
When little Enrique saw an acquaintance, he immediately said hello: "Teacher Nanami! Are these two boyfriends you brought back? Is this the one who wears crotchless pants? Or is this the one who likes to do gymnastics on the radio? Or are you just like me?
Do you have to watch TV while eating? Do you want everything?"
Nanami ignored the children's jokes, walked up to the two passengers, and explained furtively.
She once again grasped the key point with the two passengers and emphasized: "I heard it at the door just now. You promised to send things to Enrique's family. This is your business. You can solve it yourself. It is not within my jurisdiction."
.The station regulations say that if a passenger wants to die!~The security officer will not care about it!"
Bu Liuxing leaned into Brother Ming's ear and whispered the translation again, for fear that the baby next to him might hear it.
"I know, thank you for your support, Sir Jessica, along the way." Jiang Xueming brought a lot of treasures here, but Nanami didn't even let them use them: "I'll take care of the rest and our equipment later."
Give us sex back."
"You!" Nanami's eyes widened and she was about to get angry but was immediately discouraged, because if there was really any dispute between the two passengers, BOSS would never give her a good taste: "Okay...I'll give it to you two.
During the hours of free investigation, all the equipment will be returned to you, and I will accompany you throughout the process."
Jiang Xueming said expressionlessly: "Thank you, sir."
Bu Liuxing smiled playfully: "Thank you Sir!"
...
...
Privately——
——Jiang Xueming and Ah Xing were whispering.
"Chief Nanami has always been unwilling to show us her employee ID. When I cleaned her room just now, I couldn't find it, either in the dormitory or in the office. It seems that she hid her ID. It's very difficult to find it.
strangeness."
"All girls have secrets?"
"I don't believe this kind of nonsense, so I rang the bell. I hope that when Brother Qi rushes to the scene, he won't see our bodies. Be more careful, Ah Xing."
