24. Occupancy

"How did you feel this time?" The sound came from an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Morwich, three stories high, all the windows were tightly blocked, and the only light shone through a half-blocked side window, which made the factory's stomach less dark. The person who spoke was standing in front of this window, looking up at the test tube raised in his right hand, the coffee-colored solution taking up half of the tube's volume.

"It's okay, I just don't feel the cold anymore." The figure in the light blue motorcycle leather coat took off his helmet, and a thick blonde hair fell out, extending from the top of his head to his shoulders, and two lion ears stood on top of his head to match the blonde hair. His facial features look European, but he has dark eyes.

"Can't sense the cold?" The owner of the voice put down the test tube in his hand, "Don't you feel very cold, or can't you feel it at all?" "I could only feel the ice sticking out of my fingers the morning before, but it wasn't cold." "Yes, sit down here." Sang Yin was a little old, the old man had scattered gray hair, looked messy, there were no animal ears on the top of his head, the mustard-colored sweater was also very dirty, and the dark red corduroy trousers that didn't fit on the edge, his back had a bit of Einstein's smell.

"Einstein" said as he opened a coffin box made of pure steel that resembled a scanner and opened to reveal a hospital bed shaped like the coffin of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. After the leather-clad man removed his leather coat, only a pair of boxers were left wrapped around his muscular body. He lay on top of the coffin, the lid slowly closing, and there was a bow-shaped notch under the lid just enough to accommodate him.

Albert Einstein flipped the switch, and several small lights around the scanner began to flash to indicate that it was activating. The shell of the scanner is very old, the outermost layer is made of scrap iron, and the four traditional Chinese characters on the top cover are still faintly visible. The old man turned on the LCD monitor on the side, and a three-dimensional laser map immediately popped up, and there were many cumbersome data and chemical symbols in the lower right corner of the three-dimensional map.

"The muscle cells are starting to freeze, and it's going to be hard to do." The old man stared at the display screen and said to himself, "Sure enough, it still needs the connective tissue of the human being to have immunity, alas, it was in vain for him to work hard." ”

"Uncle, do you know how big the newly developed locomotive engine is?" I asked, Mante had just returned to the workshop at this time, and the little suit had not yet had time to take off. "I don't know, why do you suddenly ask this." Mante took off his suit, his white shirt was soaked with sweat, and the document in his right hand was held and swayed up and down, and it seemed that he was really hot.

"That's right." It turned out that Mante knew nothing about the corruption of those in power, "When Xixi and I came back, we were secretly in a truck, and it happened that the engine of the locomotive was being carried in the freight car. But I found that the engine was much smaller than the shell of the locomotive. "Go on." Seeing the way I deliberately stopped to observe his face, Mante took a sip of Nogi's tea.

"At that time, I had been looking for a patch to this strange phenomenon, so I asked Xixi a lot of questions about the locomotive, and I learned a lot about the locomotive engine. In this information, I found that the size of the engine should be smaller than the locomotive casing, someone deliberately designed it, and I wondered what the designer had in mind, but then I got the answer. I found a lot of norakas in the bottom baffle of the engine. I heard Xixi say that the locomotive maintenance work here is carried out secretly by the personnel appointed by the government... ”

"Don't jump to conclusions without definite evidence, seeing is not necessarily believing, so it's best not to speculate too absolutely." Mante interrupted me suddenly, and he seemed to hear my thoughts with a strong affirmation, "A word of advice to you, you are indeed very smart, but you have to make good use of your cleverness, don't be fooled by it, just like what you just said, if you are just speculating, you are too confident and easy to make mistakes." ”

"Thank you for the advice." Mante is right, believing too much in his own IQ is indeed easy to do stupid things. "So, let's get down to business, no one dares to take in two wanted criminals for a long time. Do you have any plans with Xixi? Mante sat down on the couch in the living room and looked at me so far away from a coffee table. I really didn't think about this, I could just swagger back to the human world, but I couldn't leave Xixi behind. "I was asked about my weakness. Mante can't stay here for long, I'm neither his relative nor his little brother, and I'll be embarrassed to hide here for nothing, let alone his brothers.

"Although the workshop has a lot of legal income every day, when it comes to doing business, I lack an assistant who can read and see." Mante's words came very abruptly, I kind of understood it, he was trying to pull me into the gang. Join the underworld? I couldn't have imagined it a week ago, what happened in the past few days is so messy, it's like acting in several movies, I feel like I've been in prison, escape, love, crazy boy and other movies with various themes.

Now I am very entangled in my heart, I have heard a certain underworld brother who died under the SWAT gun said: Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. If I agree to be Mante's younger brother, it is estimated that I will take the same path of no return as Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals, but I am only 16 years old, and the road behind me is still very long. If there is a time when the sky is fighting, then Xixi will not die of heartache, my parents still expect me to provide for them in the future, they are so old, they can't have another one, right?

But as things stand, joining Mante's organization is the best option. Of course, I can't just take care of my own life and leave Xixi to go back, let alone take Xixi away, her own family is still in the hot water, even if she is willing to go with me, it will definitely not be very comfortable, and furthermore, after being missing for several days, she brought a girl of unknown origin home, not to mention that she couldn't pass the household registration, and it was a question whether my parents could accept it.

A week ago, being wanted was a real distance from me, but it just happened, and since that's the case, it's not a big deal to join the underworld.

"I think I can be this assistant." After pondering for a moment, I finally spoke, "The condition is that Xixi also has to stay." "Oh, then why do you think you're up to the task?" "If only I could get out of Morich's prison." "Good boy, I didn't misread you." Mante walked over with a smile and patted me on the shoulder, "There's no one better fit than you, I'll hold your party initiation ceremony at lunch." "Joining the party?" "Yes, we're not just an underworld." Mante must have been quite excited at this point, and the thumb of his right hand holding the document began to tremble intermittently, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "Noji, let the brothers of the ceremonial hall prepare for the party joining ceremony, and immediately inform the ladles of each town, so that they must come before noon."

"Understood." Noji immediately turned around and retired. "Is this your rule?" I was a little surprised at the mantle of the Mante organization, and at the same time a little puzzled by his deployment. "The assistant to the party leader is a big official, and of course every branch must know about it. By the way, how good are you? "Huh?" "I mean, have you ever practiced?" "I've practiced Jeet Kune Do for half a year." "That's okay, I'll hold a banquet in the underground restaurant at lunchtime, you're too young to convince the public, and whether you can get the approval of the leaders of each branch depends on your performance." Mante finally stopped shaking the paper in his hand.

"But isn't that something you can make alone?" "Remember that we are a democratic party, and what I say is tantamount to an unauthorized approval that requires approval from all sides to take effect." "Oh, got it." "Now that there are two hours left before lunch starts, let's think about how to deal with their doubts for a while, and I'm going to go to the kitchen to arrange it." "Well, I will." Mante turned again and went to the Iron Gate.

"Come down, he's gone." I said tentatively. "Eh, how do you know I'm hiding here?" Xixi poked her head out of the gap in the stairs. "You didn't go downstairs with me when Mante came back, you and Mante should be more familiar than me, but you haven't interjected a word after chatting for so long, this is not like your character, then there are only two possibilities, one is that you didn't hear the conversation just now, and the other is that you are eavesdropping and don't want to be discovered, so you have been silent. However, the indoor sound insulation effect here is relatively poor, which can be inferred from the sound of the machine working, so the former situation can be basically ruled out. ”

"Hee-hee, there's really yours." Xixi jumped up to me and sat down, "Let me tell you, in fact, even if you don't agree, I can stay." "Of course I do." "But I'm glad you stayed for me." She made me blush, and Mante had left all the things I had thought about behind me.

"You're awake." The face combed the long silky hair in front of the dresser. The face with a few wrinkles is flushed. "Hey, yes." Wu Dafan's body wrapped in futon was naked, and he was very proud when he saw the back of his face in a Tang costume, "That, I decided, when the detention period of my mother-in-law expires, I will marry you." The corners of her mouth rose when she heard this, and she coiled her hair with a wooden hazelnut, and her fox ears hung deftly on it. Let's get dressed first. With that, he threw his clothes to Wu Dafan.
