Act 215 Safety first
The Yale campus is full of trees, which are so connected that they can even be called forests.
The reason why there are so many trees is certainly not that the Yale people here love nature and want to reflect the beauty of harmony between man and nature.
It's just that there are too many woods, and it's too tiring to cut down.
However, in such a green campus in the summer and in the winter, you can also see one straight tree trunk after another, and there is a place where it looks unusually conspicuous as if a person with thick hair is missing a piece of hair.
In this anomalous land, there is a hut, and next to this hut, there is a larger factory building.
And the ground outside of this factory building, the color of filth is as if it was shoveled from the land of demons.
Tom & Doug Chemicals is located here.
The chemical industry has always been a big polluter.
Even in the future, pollution will inevitably be avoided due to various reasons.
What's more, in this era of waste liquid pollution from chemical plants, which has not yet been experienced?
Nick got out of the carriage and walked over to the factory.
Looking at this strange place, I looked at it for a while, confirmed that I saw the plaque, and finally came here.
"Excuse me, who's in charge here?" asked Nick, at the top of his voice.
"I-me! Are you?" Suddenly, a bald head with no eyebrows came out of the hut and replied loudly.
Nick looked at the man who seemed to be about Doug's age, thought about the name of the company, and asked, "Are you Tom?"
"Yes, I am! Are you Doug's henchman? Tell him that he hasn't been here in a long time, and that I have something new to show him. By the way, I've got good things in the house, would you like to come in and have a look?" asked Tom the Bald Head.
ββ¦β¦ Okay......" Nick looked at the hairless freak in front of him and hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The workers, who seemed to have become numb, listened to Nick's footsteps and looked up in silence as he took his last step into Tom's hut door.
They are not superstitions, but the people who entered Tom's hut have died more than one.
Although Tom himself does not have any life-threatening danger in every accident. However, the people who were in the hut with him did not have such a good fate.
Even...... There is a rumor circulating between Tom and the employees of Doug Chemical Company that it is not that Tom has never died.
Instead, every time Tom was about to die, he dragged a man into the hut to die in his place.
Therefore, although these employees feel that the work is very hard, they do not want to communicate with Tom at all, reduce the workload or increase the salary.
Because, no one wants to enter Tom's cabin.
When Nick entered the hut, he realized that it didn't seem like a normal place.
The cabin, which doesn't look very large from the outside, seems to be unusually large inside, as if it has been unleashed by magic.
Bottles and cans of different styles are neatly placed in all corners.
Some jars are dark and some are transparent.
Nick looked at these seemingly dangerous things and didn't dare touch them at all.
Even......
Even the ground under his feet, he repeatedly confirmed that there was something dangerous.
Of course, there will be no danger, and there will never be danger in this life.
That's true for Tom, and it's true for Nick.
Because, Nick only has one life.
Because, Nick's life can't be restarted.
"You look a little nervous? Relax, everything I've got here is safe. Tom was relieved, and suddenly it happened, "Oh, what's your name?"
"Just call me Nick. Nick cautiously replied that he didn't really think it was safe just because Tom said it was safe.
As a person working in the financial industry, Nick seems to have been born with a keen sense of danger.
"Nick......! Nick! is a good name!" Tom read the pronunciation of Nick's name as he wrote it down in his notebook.
"What are you?"
"It's fine. It's just a record of who has come in. β
"It doesn't seem like much. β
"Well, it's not a lot, really. β
"Boss, he hasn't come in?"
"Oh, did you say Daog? He never came in. β
"By the way, can I ask you a question? What happened to all the people with their names framed in black?"
Tom heard the question with a sad look on his face, "He'...... They are all ...... Alas......"
Tom sobbed, then sighed.
"What happened to them?"
"They all died. β
"How did they all die?"
He ...... They're ......," Tom was about to say, when suddenly he said, "be careful!"
As he spoke, Nick saw a bottle fall from the wall.
Nick subconsciously took the bottle in his hand.
"You're so quick to react. Tom commented.
"What's in there?" asked Nick.
"Hmm. It's a little powder, you can see it, it's a yellowish powder, right? They're very well-behaved, as long as they don't collide violently, they won't explode!"
"Explosion...... Explosion?"
"yes! it's an explosion!" Tom's face showed an excited look, "Do you like explosions too?"
"No...... No ......," Nick refused. For a person who wants to escape all dangers and live this life in peace. Exploding or something, it's better to get as far away from him as possible.
However......
Danger is something that must be avoided if you want to avoid it.
Even if it can be avoided with subjective consciousness, the objective probability is there. It's always possible.
"Smack!"
Another glass bottle landed on the ground, splitting into several pieces in an instant.
The inexplicable powder burns when it encounters air.
They glued to Tom's body, and Tom's whole body turned into a fire man.
"Ahh
Although Nick did not feel the pain, he was frightened by the scene, as if he was a burning man, rushing out of the door of the wooden house and rolling on the ground.
"Hmm...... That's what it looks like...... Tom lifted his foot slightly, and it turned out that where he was standing, there were several small pedals.
At the end of these pedals, a thread is attached, and as long as the corresponding pedal is touched, the corresponding bottle will fall.
As for those on the roster, they are all people who have dedicated their lives to the development of science.
Most of the names in it are black-framed, and they are people who have dedicated their lives to science.
One day, Tom felt that his research had made a breakthrough later.
He would erect a monument to science, and the names of those who gave their lives for science would be engraved on stone tablets.
Outside the cabin, Nick, who was rolling on the ground, rolled for a few minutes before the fire was finally extinguished.
By the time he barely stood up, he felt so cold.
Whether it's that the clothes on the body have become mutilated.
The most important thing is his hair!
The hair is gone.
He has turned into a bald head.
"Ahh
He touched his bald head and let out another scream.
Even louder than when he found out that he was covered with fire.
Because, the fire can be extinguished.
But the hair is gone, and the handsome image is gone.
Of course, Nick just thinks he's handsome.
"The fire has been extinguished?" said Tom, who came out and stood in the doorway, "Come on in!
"No...... Nope!"
Nick scrambled towards the carriage of Claydon Investment Bank.
Before the door could close, he urged the coachman to get out of here.
Looking at the fleeing Nick, Tom was a little disappointed.
His gaze swept around, and the workers who were still holding their heads up quickly lowered their heads one by one, and their numb expressions resurfaced.
"It's boring!" said Tom shutting the wooden door.
Nick, dressed in tatters, gasping for air in the carriage.
Fortunately, there was a small charcoal stove in the carriage, which warmed the carriage.
"Find a place to buy clothes first. Nick shouted at the coachman, and began to touch his bald head, about the more desperate he became.
At the same time, on his head, the orange light of charcoal was reflected.
He despaired for a while, broke down for a while, and then got a little tired.
Sitting slumped in the carriage, he suddenly thought about the meaning of Doug asking him to come here.
What's the point?
Nick remembered.
Is it just to make yourself look at dangerous chemicals?
But what is the use of these fires that burn all the hairs clean?
Wait a minute......
That yellowish powder......
Could it be an explosion......
Speaking of explosions, Nick comes to mind about one thing, and that is - grenades.
Ram's legacy in New York is not only his own legend, but also the legend of the grenade.
It's just that others who haven't seen the explosive grenades filled with picric acid think that the power is an artistic exaggeration.
But...... What if not?
In other words, Tom & Doug Chemical Company is a continuation of Winchester Arms Company.
With this power, can you physically destroy anyone who opposes Doug?
Wait...... Wait a minute......
It doesn't seem right!
If that's the case, Tom & Doug Chemicals shouldn't be behind Winchester Arms.
From entertainment to weapons, it's clear that it's getting more and more important.
Wait...... Wait......
Do you mean?
Nick suddenly thought of something terrible.
If this chemical company can produce explosives with infinite explosive power, it can produce chemicals that burn all the hair on the body, but the body doesn't seem to be very painful.
Is it also possible to say that it also has the ability to poison people silently.
Is it also capable of making a fine burn out of thin air?
If that's the case......
Nick shuddered.
If the weapons of Winchester Arms Company are openly robbed, then the things produced by Tom and Doug Chemical Company are not sharp weapons for assassination?
Scold!
Still thinking that Doug was assassinated by someone on Wall Street?
It seems that if he doesn't assassinate others, he has already discovered his conscience.
Doug was in a clothing store, and after a change of clothes, Nick touched his bald head and put on a wool felt hat for himself.
Order the coachman and head towards the Pemberton Beverage Factory.
It's not that he doesn't know that the way he looks now is funny, like a cat without a cat, just as funny as its bare skin.
But!
He didn't hide, hide, and wait for his hair to grow before he came out to meet people.
Because, he doesn't have that much time.
The devil knows how long it will take for these hairs to grow back.
Is it a week, or a month, or a year?
Rather than being embarrassed later, it is better to be ashamed from now on.
At the very least, the Pemberton Beverage Factory won't put itself in danger again.
Nick couldn't help but think.
Of course, he was naΓ―ve about it.
Even if he was sitting at home, there was a possibility that a meteorite would fall from the sky and hit him and die on the spot.
However, death did not come to him, he would not die, at least not easily.
The location of the Pemberton Beverage Factory is not on the seaside with easy transportation, but in a relatively remote place.
The reason why I chose this place is because Pemberton feels that the water here is the best.
He believes that although the various substances added to the drink will cover the taste of the water.
However, water is the base of the drink.
If the tone is not good, then the drink is also problematic.
Doug did not stop him from this view.
Not because Doug believed his rhetoric, but because he knew that in the future, the factory would not produce beverages, but puree.
Although the raw pulp also needs to be transported, the requirements for transportation conditions are not so high.
Moreover, if you are really by the sea, it is easy to encounter all kinds of dangers.
After all, Doug is also the one who sent people to bomb other people's factories, and of course he has to care more about his own industry.
Now, of course, the property is nominally in Pemberton's name, but it is only in name, and it is only Doug's deposit with him.
All the properties that accept investors from Claydon Investment Bank, even if they are not Doug today, will not be tomorrow, and will be the day after tomorrow.
Periodic economic crises are a good harvesting tool.
Even if Doug's status was already very high at the time, the economic downturn would have caused his assets to suffer huge losses.
But what is that loss compared to what is gained?
When Doug is on track of the direction of the economy, he will still drive the occurrence of periodic economic crises.
Of course, Pemberton didn't know at this time, and neither did Nick.
The two men collided in Doug's name.
Po Burton, who had just made the factory run normally, saw that this was the head of the investment department of Claydon Investment Bank, and it was Doug who had sent him to visit the factory, and of course he put everything aside and stayed with Nick.
It's just that every time he wants to get closer to Nick, Nick moves a little away.
It's not because Nick hates Pemberton, it's just that Nick is thinking about his own safety.
The devil knows, if you get too close to him, something will go wrong.
I just lost my hair just now, so don't I have a layer of skin this time?
No!
No!
