Chapter 289: Purpose
The gray three-story building has two basements, the corridor and the ceiling are very low, and the more you go, the narrower and narrower, as if it is going to collapse and make people breathless, I heard the middle-aged man say that this place is the temporary warehouse of the Media Asia Group before, piled up with all kinds of waste mechanical parts and equipment, at first he did not plan to live in it, but Chu Tianjiao said that there was no place to live, and the boss of the Media Asia Group simply asked people to clean up a room for him to live in.
The hum of the air conditioning compressor came from the other end of the corridor to this end, there was dust everywhere, and when people walked around, the wind blew straight and made people frown, and the middle-aged man seemed to be in this place for a long time and was very accustomed to holding his breath, shaking out a large hanging key from his sleeve and turning it over and saying, "This place has been born for some years, and I used to come often... Ahem... But then Lao Chu didn't come down much when he was gone, and now that I think about it, he is also quite capable, and he lives in... Cough... I haven't changed places for a few years, and I told him that he refused to buy a few cheap rental houses, saying that he had to save some money so that his son would get married in the future... Alas, who knew that natural and man-made disasters would come so quickly, I inquired with the traffic bureau and said that only Maybach's body was found, as for the driver... The collision was even more shattered than a cheek, and there was blood everywhere inside and outside the car. ”
"Has anyone claimed the body?" Lin Nian looked at the closed iron doors in the corridor, each door had a white paint brush number, and walked back from 001, the incandescent lamp hanging on the ceiling above his head emitted temperature and light, illuminating their shadows in the corridor.
"It's said that it was too bad, I can't claim it, I just cleaned it up hastily, and the funeral didn't happen... Lao Chu usually has a good relationship with us, but when it comes to the funeral, no one rushes to pick up the thunder, not even a decent funeral, no grave, I want to burn something and I have no place to go, so I can only go back to the stall where the two of us used to eat braised large intestines and order a dish, smoke a cigarette and drink beer. The middle-aged man looked at this corridor and coughed twice, and whispered, "If you go inside, the smell of kerosene may be even greater, little brother, do you want me to go back and get you a mask?" ”
"No need." Lin Nian shook his head and asked as if he remembered something, "Has the smell of kerosene always been so big here?" ”
"In the past, the smell of the factory was several times that of now, and people didn't dare to come down... But Lao Chu is different, he is used to living, and no matter how big the smell of kerosene is, he dares to drill down. ”
Lin Nian nodded... Half-breeds do have their own gains in some places, which is unbearable and even extreme for normal people, if Chu Tianjiao is really 'S' level, then for their group of people, the smell of kerosene is just the difference between comfortable and uncomfortable, not to mention the smell of kerosene, even in a fire where the air temperature can burn the respiratory tract, they can breathe freely and even fight with all their might.
"Lao Chu has had a hard time in this life... But I guess if it weren't for the accident that his son had in the car with him that day, and his ex-wife probably wouldn't know about his death in a car accident, they all said that they had taken root, but I felt that he still had no foundation after more than ten or twenty years here, and he didn't have a whole body, and he couldn't even bury it in the ground. The middle-aged man sighed lightly.
"As long as no dead people are buried in the ground, you don't belong in this place." Lin Nian nodded.
"That's a good point... Is the little brother a top student? This time I was looking for Lao Chu to find materials? The middle-aged man also slowly pulled out of his memories.
"No, I know his son." Lin Nian said, "I read that sentence just now in a book, and I think it is very appropriate to describe him. ”
"Then why isn't it his son who came to me?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised.
Lin Nian didn't answer this question, because Chu Zihang never thought that Chu Tianjiao died in a car accident, and the scene of meeting the gods that night had been deeply engraved in Chu Zihang's mind, and his goal in this life would only be to find that god like a lion and jump up like a lion and ask him to return that man.
But things that are seen from different angles are also completely different, Lin Nian came into contact with Chu Tianjiao's matter as an 'S' level commissioner, and he will inevitably analyze this matter from a more rational starting point. For Chu Zihang, Chu Tianjiao was his biological father, who gave birth to him in this city and raised him until he was six years old, and then the family fission fell apart from then on, and it was not until later that the tragedy on the elevated road occurred.
But in Lin Nian's eyes, Chu Tianjiao has never been a father, but a super hybrid who can make most people fearful, came to this city just to go to a certain mission, but by chance met the woman in the dance troupe and fell in love, this is just an episode on his way to complete the mission... It is highly likely that he had come for Odin in the first place, knowing that there was a Nibelungen in the city, but he had been able to enter it that night, but the only mistake was to bring his own children.
There must be some secret hidden in Chu Tianjiao's safe house, if this secret can be revealed, maybe Lin Nian will be able to know more about Odin's true face, and there is a high probability that he can also solve the biggest doubt he is hiding in his heart now.
"That's all about Lao Chu's house, I haven't opened it for a long time, and I don't know how bad the situation inside is... It's always a good idea to be mentally prepared. The middle-aged man coughed and stood in front of a room painted '062', took out the key he had been looking for for a long time, opened the lock, and pushed the door open.
The dreary corridor was crisper and fresher, and the smell of dust rose from the ground, and the room was not as unsightly as the middle-aged man said, but surprisingly tidy, there was not much dust because there was not much air flow, a double bed, a bedside table, a desk against the wall and a refrigerator in the corner, which was probably all the furniture in this room.
“... It's good that there are no mice, but Lao Chu doesn't like to bring food to the room, and it is estimated that rats are not uncommon to come in. The middle-aged man saw the layout of the room as if he was touching the scene, and his eyes were amazed, people always like to recall the past at his age, some people say that this is a sign of old age, not only people are old, but the heart is also old together, and they will recall all kinds of good things in the previous years.
"I'll sit down by myself for a while." Lin Nian raised his hand and had the meaning of chasing customers... But I didn't know that he was the visitor.
"Okay, if there's anything you need to come up and call me, I'll be waiting for you on the first floor." The middle-aged man doesn't care about the difference between priority and secondary, he is just a person who is ordered to do things, don't look at the boy in front of him is much younger than him, but the other party's kung fu can probably make his job unsafe... Or maybe you get a good job again? The premise is not to make the other person uncomfortable.
The middle-aged man left, Lin Nian walked into the room, and someone behind him helped him close the door, and with a bang, it brought up a little dust.
The blonde girl clapped her hands, turned to the front of Lin Nian, and swayed in this room first, her little feet stepped on the thin dust on the ground but did not leave the slightest mark, when she thought about it, she seemed to be able to break through the boundary between the virtual and the real to disturb reality, and when she didn't want to, she turned back into the ghost that only existed in Lin Nian's sight.
"Why did you come out at this time? You've been very diligent during this time. Lin Nian walked to the edge of the double bed, there were a few old books on the bedside table, he picked up one and flipped it carefully, the small stories on it were still the same as before, full of bizarre, but particularly fascinating.
"Now that the times are advancing, 3D movies are outdated, it's not interesting to just watch live broadcasts, 5D holographic movies like this are the new future!" The blonde girl jumped on the bed and stumbled twice, slamming the board, and she curled her mouth a little unhappily, and raised her hand to slap the bed twice with the sound of the whole plank.
"I thought you were worried that I could find something terrible and come out to stop me." Lin Nian put down the clue that he hadn't found, and looked at the blonde girl who was lying well on the bed, and the other party also lifted a corner of the quilt and patted it and motioned for him to come in and sleep together.
"Why are you talking so angrily today, do you think I am behind the scenes?" The blonde girl lifted the quilt with a smile on her face.
"Nothing, just something." Lin Nian walked to the desk and picked up the family photo on it, the photo was taken at the amusement park, a handsome man stood with a beautiful woman and a cute boy in his arms, and the boy was licking an ice cream in his hand intently... Only then did he find out that Chu Zihang's temperament did not change greatly after that night, but that he was paralyzed when he was a child, eating ice cream, taking family photos, and having no expression on his face.
"Can make an 'S' class incognito for so many years, doing the work of picking plaster and moving boilers every day, even his wife and children can give up and live in the basement with an excessive smell of kerosene until he dies... He must have endured such humiliation for some terrible mission, right? The blonde girl sat on the hardboard bed and hugged her knees and looked at Lin Nian in front of the desk.
Lin Nian put down the family photo, and walked to the Xiaoice box to open the refrigerator door, there was no imaginary moldy food, it was empty, the only thing left was three cans of beer that had not had time to drink, he took out a can and looked at the production date, it has expired for four years, probably the wine inside has also become turbid and precipitated, and the color of the pour will be darker than cola.
"Chu Tianjiao is indeed an 'S' grade, a genuine super hybrid, I can tell you this directly." The blonde girl said suddenly.
Lin Nian turned his head and glanced at her and didn't say anything, this news could almost be confirmed by relying on the information he had gathered, and now the blonde girl was just an afterthought when she talked about it, and the icing on the cake was not even the icing on the cake.
"Chu Tianjiao was intercepted by Odin on the elevated road because he was carrying something, not his bloodline itself." The blonde girl said again.
Lin Nian stopped, looked at the blonde girl and frowned, Odin came to Chu Tianjiao because he was carrying an important thing? What could make that god run for it and swing a spear?
This is a fierce news, but when the riddler suddenly announced the answer to the riddle, there was only one possibility that he was close to the answer, but where was there any information left by Chu Tianjiao in this room where the information was cleaner than white paper?
Suddenly, Lin Nian's eyes fell on the bed where the blonde girl was sitting... It seems that from the very beginning, the first moment he entered the house, the blonde girl had already given him a hint.
He looked at the blonde girl's expression a little cloudy.
The blonde girl couldn't help but chuckle when she looked at his groaning appearance: "Isn't your real purpose to find out what I am through Chu Tianjiao's matter?" If you want to know, just say it, I'll help you... As always. ”
