23. Another 21st Century (3)
The quaint courtyard house and the carved table of eight immortals.
A middle-aged couple and a young woman in a plain cheongsam sat quietly at the table. In front of each person is a tea cup with a white peony three-color porcelain, and the needle-like green buds erected in the cup float and fall, and the white mist rises at the mouth of the cup, scattering into the air and disappearing.
This is already the third cup.
Seeing that the time was really not early, the woman put down the tasteless tea, sighed lightly, and comforted the young woman with a smile: "Xiaoqing, don't worry, Xiaoyi's child is probably delayed by the company." As you know, his grandfather valued him very much and handed over the company to him to take care of. β
The girl smiled, gentle and decent: "I know, aunt. Brother Su Yi is young and promising, I will wait a little longer and it will not get in the way. β
The woman nodded with satisfaction, but she was worried that her son would be delayed for too long and uneducated, so she called the housekeeper and asked him to call and urge the young master. It didn't take long for the butler to return, followed by a maid.
"Old lady, the young master just came back, saying that the company still has something to do, so he sat down at Grandma Zhao's side for a while and left."
"What?!" The middle-aged man who had been silent shouted angrily, "He didn't come back to see me and his mother? Does he still have our parents in his eyes?! β
The woman's face was not very good, especially when she looked at the young girl, her eyes were full of guilt. Seeing this, the girl rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of cunning in her smile: "Auntie, since Brother Su Yi is busy and doesn't have time to see me, why don't I go to his company to see him?" I have been studying in Europe for so many years and have no opportunity to practice, so I happened to study with Brother Su Yi this time. β
And at the moment, the person they were talking about was driving on the way to a bar.
γDingββγ
After a crisp sound, the figure of a teenager slowly emerged in the back seat of the car, the young man had red lips and white teeth, and his big black eyes looked innocent, and he smiled like a docile cat.
Su Yi, who was driving, saw the young man behind him from the rearview mirror, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Can you materialize?" β
"Hehe, the new function that the blossom group just developed for me, I tried it, and it feels pretty good," the boy touched the leather on the seat very freshly, "It's a pity that it's too energy-intensive, it can only be materialized once a day, and it can last for five minutes at most...... Brother Su, where are you going now? Will you take me for a while? β
"I'm going to the bar, but I guess you won't be able to make it there," Su Yi thought for a while, parked the car on the side of the road, opened the car door, and smiled at the young man, "But I can walk with you, haven't you always wanted to experience for yourself what the world I live in?" This world is a little different from my original world, but it's still the same. β
"Really?! That's great! S-0037 ran out of the car excitedly, and when he was waiting for Su Yi to lock the car, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed behind him, "Brother Su, you see that I can also materialize now, and the development team originally set me to have human feelings...... But I don't have a name yet, so it's awkward for you to call me S-0037 every time...... Can you help me choose a name? β
"Pick a name?" Su Yi had a headache, "I won't choose a name...... Otherwise, in the future, if you follow my surname, I will call you Xiao Su, right? β
"Ah......h
"Da Su? Susu? β
ββ¦β¦ I suddenly thought that S-0037 was actually quite handsome. β
The place where Su Yi parked his car happened to be close to the pedestrian street, so he simply took S-0037 to the pedestrian street to take a stroll. He was used to living in ancient times, and suddenly returned to the twenty-first century, where the lights were bright and the night was like day, he was really a little unaccustomed to it, watching S-0037 run forward and forward excitedly and curiously, Su Yi had a light smile on his lips, but his thoughts were a little trance.
He always felt as if he had forgotten something...... Maybe it's a person, maybe it's something......
ββ¦β¦ Brother Su! Look, how about this dress?! Wow, there are people selling hands/guns here, didn't you say that you β‘β‘ break the law here? β
Su Yi came back to his senses, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help laughing: "This is β‘β‘, for ornamentation." β
S-0037 was stunned: "It's like it's real." β
Su Yi casually looked over with his gaze, and the β‘β‘ placed on the counter was really realistic, about an inch in size, whether it was a gun/butt or a gun/barrel, it was very exquisite...... His heart suddenly moved, and a hand appeared in his mind, this knuckle was slender and powerful, if he held this gun, it would definitely be very suitable......
Why don't you buy this and give it to him?
Su Yi couldn't help but call the waiter and asked her to wrap the β‘β‘, but when he was taking out his wallet, he seemed to wake up suddenly, and he was stunned.
Give it to him...... Who is he?
β¦β¦ To whom?
Did he forget something...... Something very important?
It wasn't until he walked out of the gift shop, that Su Yi was still a little distraught, and S-0037 shouted in his ear worriedly that he came back to his senses, "What's wrong?" β
S-0037 lowered his eyes, a little reluctant, "It's time for me to go." β
"Okay, I'll take you out to play every day in the future."
It was not far from the bar he was going to, and Su Yi simply didn't take the car, planning to walk over alone. The bar was in a very remote corner, and after leaving the pedestrian street, the flow of people gradually became scarce, and as he walked, he saw that he was almost at the bar, and S-0037 suddenly shouted in his mind: [Brother Su, someone is following you behind you! γ
Su Yi was stunned, the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and he took Fang Cai's β‘β‘ out of the bag with a vague movement, and then dodged into a narrow alley beside him.
In the darkness, after pressing all the breath to the minimum, the hustle and bustle of the city in the distance seemed to be isolated into the background, and everything was silent, and there was a clear heartbeat in my ears, again and again, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.
The knuckles of the fingers holding the gun were white, and the palms were slightly wet. There was a sudden tingling in his head, as if he had been stabbed by someone with a thin needle, and for a moment in a trance, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.
Silent nights, deserted alleys, tense atmosphere...... Looking up, it was a miserable white moon.
It's familiar......
Confused steps, prostrated bodies, thunderous ringing in the ears...... He staggered and fled, followed by a viper in hot pursuit, effortlessly cornering him...... Cold barrels, cold eyes, cold smiles, cold liquids......
[Brother Su! γ
Su Yi suddenly came to his senses, only to find that he had a cold sweat on his body, he suddenly stood out of the alley, raised his arm flat, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the young man standing at the other end of the alley.
"Who are you?!"
*
Yang Yu followed closely behind the people in front.
The man was wearing a black jacket and black jeans, and he walked lightly, his hat pressed very low, and his fingers pressed into his cuffs. Yang Yu knew that there was a mini gun hidden in that sleeve.
Tsk, what a coincidence, the black jacket and jeans I wear today, as well as the hat.
Turning a few alleys, gradually disappearing into the flow of people, the pedestrian street is the most lively place in the city's nightlife, and there are always unusually many people, which can reduce the vigilance of the person being followed, but also greatly increase the difficulty of tracking. Yang Yu had to step forward to shorten the distance between him and that person.
The cinema had just ended a movie, and many high school and college students suddenly squeezed out of the exit and rushed into the two like a tide, Yang Yu's heart tightened, and he rushed out of the crowd, but he couldn't find that person. People came and went, and he spun around in place, his thin lips crumbling tightly into a straight line, and a layer of gloom hung between his brows, which were slightly pale because of the lack of sunlight for many years.
walked to the side of the road with a calm face, and was about to give up, but at this moment he suddenly saw the person he had followed all the way standing across the road. Yang Yu quickly hid behind a plane tree and looked sideways at the other party. I saw the other party standing next to a Volkswagen, he knew this car, it was Su Yi's, Su Yi has always been very low-key to the outside world, so he drove this kind of Volkswagen. In order to track Su Yi, he once installed a miniature locator in the tires of this car, and followed him all the time to find a suitable time, so even if he may admit that other people's cars are wrong, Su Yi's will definitely not.
The man in black walked over and looked inside the car through the wind shield, there was probably no one in the car, so he stood quietly in front of the car for a while, as if thinking about something, and then slowly walked to the side of the car and entered the blind spot of Yang Yu's surveillance.
Can't see each other. Yang Yu frowned, suddenly feeling a little uneasy. Barely suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he forced himself to wait patiently, and as the minutes passed, the man seemed to have disappeared behind the car. Yang Yu had already thought about waiting for another minute to take a look, but at this moment, the intuition of the beast he had trained for many years made him subconsciously flash to the side, and at the same time, his elbow joint had already bent and struck out behind him.
The dagger of the person behind him pierced the air, but the strong and powerful hand was just right to contain Yang Yu's elbow, and Yang Yu was about to fight back again, when a cold metal had already pressed against the side of his neck.
The man's low and hoarse voice sounded in his ears: "Don't move-" But before he could finish speaking, Yang Yu had already grabbed the hand on his elbow with his other hand as fast as lightning, and squeezed it hard in his tiger's mouth, and at the same time bent down sharply, dodging the bullets fired by the mini silencer/sound/gun on the side of his neck.
A qiΔ only happens in the blink of an eye. By the time the storm had calmed down, two young men of similar shape and dress were already standing face to face, within arm's length of each other, each holding a SwissMiniGun C1ST in their raised right hands.
Yang Yu suddenly took off his hat with a wicked taste.
The pupils of the opposite man's eyes, hidden in the shadows, contracted suddenly, and he raised his head, revealing a face that was exactly the same as Yang Yu's. Surprise was fleeting, and after a moment of silence, the corners of his lips curled into a smile that did not mean anything, and his eyes were calm and indifferent.
"I never know, I had a twin brother."
