In the empty wilderness of Wangshan Mountain, far and far ahead are brightly lit office buildings and DD stations.
The GPS positioning signal was sometimes strong and weak. The multimedia panel in the car was disconnected and I couldn't listen to music.
Jiang Xueming looked at the lights outside the window. The street lights flashing past every few hundred meters made people feel very, very depressed.
The Volga is still like a submarine in the deep sea. It is about to surface. From the rearview mirror, you can see the shining lights distorted in the vortex when the hot and cold air collide.
Xueming still remembered seeing another car coming from this strange city at the transformer cabinet about 400 meters ahead, covered in blood - and then he rang the summons bell.
...
...
The time is August 14th.
Four thirty-three in the morning.
Comprehensive offices for armed employees on the first floor.
Chief Jessica stamped the additional seal of [Clear] on the two passengers' documents and on the mission stamp of [Death Couple Agency], indicating the end of the mission.
"It's a holiday!" Ah Xing raised his hands and cheered.
9527 breathed a sigh of relief. This was her first summons. She didn't expect it to be so simple.
When leaving, Jessica reluctantly looked at the two passengers, at 9527, and at the three little guys.
She followed them all the way to the station, leaving her weapons and equipment in the brand-new office——
——She helped Brother Qi push the motorcycle into the carriage of the train. She also took the key to the big truck from Brother Qi. She had a few more contacts on her phone, which were the contact information of vegetable farmers and vendors at the nearby trade transfer station.
To be honest, Chief Jessica was in a panic. She didn't do much to help along the way. There was nothing to do about the duties of an armed employee.
That Bu Liuxing gritted his teeth and pushed through a wall with all his efforts, and even kicked someone's head away when his Achilles tendon in his calf was severed.
Not to mention Jiang Xueming...
The waiters from the station are quick and good-looking, and they are still so young——
——So so... young.
"Well..." Jessica recalled the uncleaned office and dormitory. Over the past thirty years, she seemed to have become more and more lazy.
"How about we stay with Chief Jessica again?" 9527 has sharp eyes and is very good at observing words and emotions.
"I'm hungry! There's a McDonald's at the station! Go, go, go!" Bu Liuxing's natural acting has no skills at all, it's all emotion.
Jiang Xueming pulled Jessica's arm, and people in cold-blooded days also have a warm side: "Have breakfast before leaving."
Jessica followed him in a daze, thinking about the BOSS's discipline to armed employees when she joined the station when she was nineteen years old.
Good Cat once said.
——Every armed employee on duty at the site of a spiritual disaster is the primary soul ferryman for passengers and local residents. When passengers lose guidance and residents are harmed by spiritual disasters, armed employees must take on the responsibility of guiding the way and providing disaster relief.
But Jessica felt that she was no longer a ferryman of souls, but a soul-destroyer.
At this moment, she really understood why the relatives, loved ones, and benefactors in the Sixteenth Family House were so eager for outsiders to stay, stay in that community forever, and live with them forever.
When it was time to say goodbye for the longest time, I realized how much my brain and heart couldn't let go of these new friends.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears almost fell.
After all, this is not someone you can see every other day, but someone you may only see once in a lifetime.
Just like getting on a train, every stranger you meet may never see you again in this life or the next.
...
...
The four of them broke into the lobby of McDonald's, rushed to the counter and ordered three meals while the customers looked at them strangely.
Jessica didn't order because she wanted time to pass slower and slower.
Until the waiter became impatient——
——Until Jiang Xueming, who used to work as a waiter, ordered the food for Chief Jessica.
"I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon." Xueming took Chief Jessica to sit by the window and then left.
...
...
The train outside the window slowly left, bringing up scarlet steam and strong wind.
Jessica breathed hard and said nothing. She wanted to seize the [reality] of every minute and not think about anything distracting.
The aroma wafted from the kitchen, and the diners were silent. They were divided into tables of three or five people, like isolated islands. After finishing their food in silence, they continued on their way to their respective destinations.
Bu Liuxing's eyes were fixed on the food outlet, and he was patiently waiting for it.
While the waiter lowered his head to look at his cell phone, he took a Polaroid to take a photo of a similar style of pyroxene steel ring on his hand. She would laugh sometimes, and then get angry again, which was weird.
Jessica moved closer to Brother Seven to look at——
——There are treasures on mobile phones that look similar to [Heart of Steel], some are cheap, some are very expensive.
Brother Qi gets angry when he sees cheap treasures. When he sees expensive treasures, he laughs out loud.
It feels like the left eye dazzles wealth and the right eye dazzles feudal superstition.
——These people are so strange...
Jessica pursed her lips and pulled on 9527's sleeves, "Your Excellency Waiter, Your Excellency Waiter..."
Brother Qi turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jessica was obedient and respectful, greeting in Japanese, "Will we... meet again?"
As soon as she asked this question, Jessica couldn't hold it back at all. She couldn't hold it back at all, just like when you got fifty-nine points on the math test when you were a child and went home to see your parents.
A complex emotion that can pass even with an equal sign.
"Uh..." 9527 couldn't say it. He was busy taking tissues from the paper basket on the table and wiping the tears of this young-looking "old aunt".
"I have many, many, many, many words... Just..." Jessica fanned her face to breathe. She felt that her nose was blocked and her eye sockets were hot. "My mouth is stupid. In Japanese, it means tortuous.
That’s confusing...I don’t speak Chinese well.”
"Mr. Bu Liuxing!" 9527 immediately ordered: "Give our Chief Jessica the whole job!"
Axing thought about it for a long time, and suddenly acted like a school bully, making various strange gestures towards Jessica.
"Yo yo yo! Jessica! I made an appointment with BOSS to hold a party at the Tulip Bar when we get back! Most of the fun people in the station will attend!~Guess who we didn't invite?~"
9527 was confused: "What kind of bad job are you doing?"
"I'm a bastard! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!" Jessica stopped crying immediately, regained her energy, and said fiercely: "Remember this! I will definitely avenge this! I will also fight with everyone.
Let’s have a party together! Have fun... I’ll take photos to show you! I’m so jealous of you!”
"We have an appointment! Ms. Jessica!~" Bu Liuxing pretended to be Teacher Victor's stern and serious expression: "This is the [Tour·Knight Competition] between you and me. The loser will continue to be subjected to this kind of school bully-like behavior.
Ling's verbal insults - Oops, I can't hold it in anymore... Hahahahaha! How did Teacher Victor do it? How did he use such a handsome demeanor to make people happy like this? I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
I’ve finished what I said!”
9527's eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at this guy Bu Liuxing - thinking in his mind, could he still make a girl happy like this?
...
...
At this time, Jiang Xueming came back with a dinner plate in one hand and a packing box in the other.
He first pushed the dinner plate in front of Jessica and said expressionlessly.
"A surprise for you."
Then push the packing box over.
"A surprise for Nanami."
That's two portions of fresh egg fried rice, not overnight.
9527 felt bad, and quickly looked at Jessica, ready to take out paper to cover those crying eyes.
Jessica pursed her lips and clenched her two small fists, almost turning into the "so happy" expression in the Rampage comic emoticon package.
"YA☆DA☆ZE! I don't know how you got into this problem of making excuses to go to the toilet but actually cooking! But...but...that's great! Well done! Well done!
"
...
...
Six ruthless diversion gates separate them.
Just like Mr. Victor said when he said goodbye——
——A Xing waved his arms vigorously and shouted loudly.
"Sir! Chief Nanami! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! - Remember! You are still young! You want to become a sad-faced adult! It's still early!"
"Jessica!" Jessica turned around. She was not used to the sister's physical body, and her turning movements were a little awkward. She shouted with the same decibels and the same enthusiasm, "It's Jessica! - You should keep in touch frequently.
!I! I have Internet access at home! I can surf!”
"Okay! I won't forget you!" Axing shouted: "Sir! Don't worry! If I have a child! I will definitely not let him become an armed employee! If he is disobedient! I will interrupt him.
Legs! You can’t build them like this even if you have a few lives!”
Ah Xing kept crying, and there was something in both hands. Qi Ge and Xueming took care of the two apple muscles of this big baby.
"Sir! What is your zodiac sign..."
Before he could finish asking——
——Jessica didn’t answer or say goodbye.
He puffed out his cigarette and disappeared.
...
...
The three of them boarded the return train.
Jiang Xueming turned on his phone and wrote it down on a note.
"We gave Jessica many, many not-so-precious gifts."
"When I first met her, she seemed like a very easy person to deal with."
"But after getting along for a long time, it will make people sigh. It seems that in just twenty-four days, we have incurred unbearable grievances and debts - after all, I don't have pyroxene coins. The supplies that Brother Seven bought, about
I'm not mentally prepared for that bad debt, and I don't have enough courage to ask about it."
"If what Chief Jessica said is true, then she really hasn't saved a dime in the past thirty years, and I can't pass this debt off. At the end of the story, it's like this
Diversion gate—"
"——Jessica Asaka is a desperado in a western movie. She is a cunning and troublesome beauty. She left her two unjust companions behind and lived her life of impunity."
He pressed the save button and looked up to see Brother Qi smiling foolishly.
So Xueming asked: "Is there something on my face?"
Brother Qi's face was like a peach blossom: "You smiled so beautifully just now."
...
...
Jiang Xueming didn't know how to answer this sentence——
——So he stopped answering.
Only in this ambiguous and warm atmosphere, he suddenly stood up and wanted to run away.
"I want to leave for a while and go to the VIP compartment to try my luck."
Axing also followed excitedly: "Let's do it together!"
"Then I'll show you your luggage." 9527 grinned, her little tiger teeth shining in the light of the railway signal outside the window - she leaned her chin and looked at the scenery outside the window, not caring at all.
She knew that this little cake seemed not fully prepared yet, but there were many opportunities - it would be faster to take your time.
...
...
Xueming and Liuxing went to other carriages.
When they reached the connecting passage of the second carriage, Jiang Xueming seemed to have come down from the execution ground, and he suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
Bu Liuxing looked very anxious - he had never seen Brother Xueming look so panicked.
"What's going on? Brother Ming? Are there enemies? Is there danger? Why can't I feel my inspiration?!"
"Yes..." Jiang Xueming frowned and glanced sideways at the car door behind him, "I felt like someone was holding me tightly by the throat... Just now... 9527, she seemed to have used something to me.
Evil magic, that feeling makes me very uneasy."
Bu Liuxing didn't understand for a while.
"ah?"
"In addition to feeling this fatal threat at Bai Lu's bedside, just now, the woman said a few words to me, and I could clearly feel the rapid changes in my heart rate. It was so terrifying. I was very scared.
Scared." Jiang Xueming pulled Ah Xing and walked forward quickly - as if there was some wild beast locked in the carriage behind him.
Ah Xing was dragged along by Xueming, shouting loudly: "Hey, hey, hey! Brother Ming! Are you...are you seeing the right thing?"
"No, I suspect she used poison on me. Let's go to the dining car to make Mrs. Bai's coffee! Be careful when you go out!" Jiang Xueming didn't look like he was joking: "After all, 9527 had experience before becoming a waiter.
As a passenger who has undergone three transformations, I would not be surprised if she would use some strange and evil methods."
As he said this, he caught a glimpse of the steel heart on the ring finger of his right hand glowing like a heartbeat - then he took off the ring and hid it.
...
...
As Jiang Xueming said, he actually made two cups of Mrs. White's coffee in the dining car, and saw that there was still more than half the stock in the coffee can - he felt inexplicably grateful and regretted not having time to thank Teacher Victor.
These weak versions of the panacea are really effective. Although they are troublesome to make, they can save precious life-saving resources when used to treat injuries and poisons in a relatively safe environment.
After drinking the coffee, Jiang Xueming could clearly feel that his heart rate was gradually returning to normal, and he became more and more certain in his heart that the inexplicable feeling in his heart was the evil method used by the bad sister 9527 on him.
"Brother Ming, isn't this expensive? I can understand if you drink it yourself. Why did you make an extra cup?" Bu Liuxing asked halfway and immediately understood: "Oh oh oh! A gift for the VIP!"
Jiang Xueming nodded, holding a cup and taking Ah Xing to the golden door of the VIP carriage.
He knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered.
Then he grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open.
...
...
Outside the gate, Teacher Victor was busy writing, with a serious expression on his face, and he was completely devoted to his work. He didn't notice the two little guys breaking into the new studio at all.
"Oh! ---What kind of creative technique is that? Teacher Victor actually used both his left and right hands to write the story at the same time? The words came out like a printer working at high speed!" Bu Liyuxing eyes
It was full of curiosity: "The teacher is working! Oh my god! This is a live broadcast! I...I can't breathe! I want to watch, I want to watch!"
After saying that, Ah Xing rushed to the workbench and squatted next to Teacher Victor to act like a conjoined twin.
At that moment——
——Jiang Xueming felt a huge mental impact.
The WALKMAN on the table - the scarlet enstatite began to burn, and a ball of golden-red mixed flame spread, condensing into a hot entity in the air.
Unlike the [giant thing] in 9527's mouth, when the pressure of inspiration on Victor's body was completely released, Jiang Xueming only felt hot wind blowing on his face, carrying a fermented aroma of anise leaves.
In just a moment, Ah Xing's body seemed to have received a huge impact and was overturned by the hot air waves. Xueming quickly caught the daredevil and hid outside the door.
The door suddenly closed at the same time, and the door lock made a "clicking" metal fitting sound.
Eight heavy knocks came from inside the door, as if bullets were being fired.
The golden paint on the door vibrated and shattered, and eight Chinese characters appeared.
[during work]
[Thank you behind closed doors]
...
...
"What is that..." Bu Liuxing was surprised and happy, as if he had found the most magical fun in the world.
"I don't know... I'm afraid Teacher Victor will only release that thing to deal with us when he is very angry." Jiang Xueming saw it——
——Seeing the phantom silhouette in the flames, it looks like a red-skinned imp from hell.
Its body emerged from the golden and red flames. In the high-temperature and distorted air, only the pair of ferocious horns on its forehead could be seen clearly.
Its body was covered with old clothing that had the texture of a shroud, and there was a broken golden halo above its head.
The two little guys didn't dare to move rashly anymore.
They stood waiting outside the door obediently, hearing the intense notes of manuscript paper and pens inside the door, and the music coming from the WALKMAN.
...
...
"You the road that I chose."
[You are the path I choose.]
"e away with me to the fiion!"
[Come with me to the final destination!]
"Page by page I'm paio!"
[Page after page, I write this story as I travel!]
"You and I will sail on and oion."
[You and I will continue sailing without hesitation.]
"Wave by wave I'll take you to another zone!"
[Wave after wave, I will take you to another area!]
"I'm painting this song for you and I..."
[I am describing this song dedicated to you and me...]
...
...
"Uh..." When Bu Liuxing heard the high-spirited dance music rhythm outside the door, he immediately recognized it: "Teacher Victor is listening to New Treasure Island."
Jiang Xueming: "Can you dance? Do it again? The teacher's homework?"
Bu Liuxing raised his eyebrows and smiled smugly: "I understand a little bit."
...
...
In the studio——
——Victor writes hard and fast.
The two pens are like exquisite diamond turning tools, and their arms are the mechanical arms of CNC machine tools, quickly leaving new handwriting on the manuscript paper.
When he was about to finish the manuscript, he didn't bother to wipe away the sweat. The high-speed movement of his hands and the high temperature generated by the body during the intense exercise turned the sweat on his skin into dense heat.
Regarding the story of Broken Hand, the name of this new book was placed at the end. He did not understand Chinese very well and was going to ask the students. First, he made two translations in English and Japanese -
[The Bride to Sixteen Pieces]
[Sixteen に cut っ た flower wedding]
[——To Be ued]
...
...
As soon as Teacher Victor opened the door, he saw two students dancing outside. He didn't quite understand their strange dance moves -
——He joined immediately.
...
...
"Please use your little brains, I want a very exciting Chinese title." Teacher Victor finished dancing with the students and sincerely requested: "What should you call this book?"
Bu Liuxing murmured in English and Japanese: "Call my wife 16 unequal points?"
"It's a bit roundabout..." Jiang Xueming analyzed rationally: "The teacher wants a straightforward, passionate and impactful translation, right?"
Victor sat back at the work table, holding his knees with his hands, looking a little anxious and reserved: "Yes, I think my Chinese is very poor, and my ability to choose words and sentences is not very good, especially when naming a new book, which needs to be translated into multiple languages.
Sometimes, it will bother me for a long time.”
"You can ask Brother Qi, I'm not good at this either." Jiang Xueming said truthfully and dialed 9527.
Let’s explain it in one go——
——On the other end of the phone, Seventh Brother finally understood what the story was, and understood the living severed hand and the life-and-death journey of finding love.
This spirited girl spoke a powerful Cantonese sentence,
Victor was very satisfied after hearing this, so he called the new book this name. It was very, very good and very to the point. Although it felt a bit like stall literature, it still brought great impact and freshness to readers.
