Ed underestimated Nina. The woman had thought of everything long before she came to him, not just about Eddard, but everything about the whole thing. She only sought out Ed because she needed a necessary helper.

"I know my father, that bastard is very careful, bold, clever, and very difficult to deal with. But like all smart people, he is very easy to be clever and mistaken by cleverness. ”

Sweet, eager voices continued to flow down the tiny headphones into Ed's brain, making Ed feel as if he had a wet-soft tongue licking his brain. Although he was able to hold on to his actions for the time being, he might have to go to the toilet after a long time.

So he decided to go for an apple pie after the day's work.

"He's not going to take that portrait and transfer it like a valuable, that's not his style." Hiding in the shadows, Nina continued to whisper to Ed, "He'll treat it like toilet paper, and take it away with other ordinary things on the surface with a swagger." This is where he is most cunning and clever. No one would think that radishes casually packed in garbage bags could be priceless ginseng. ”

"Unless someone knows in advance." Ed answered.

Nina let out a giggling laugh and didn't answer. Then, after a while, she reminded Ed in a serious voice.

"Here they are."

“……”

Ed silently raised his head, lowered his legs cross, and stood up from the bench. His eyes looked at the wide road, his gaze swept over the silent wilderness around him, and his expression suddenly became dazed, but he recovered immediately. He clenched the tear gas canister in his hand.

Everything was as Nina expected. Ed saw the car from afar, the moving van, with only one driver in it, whizzing towards this lonely back country road that was as humble and pitiful as an earthworm in the big city, like a migrating bull.

"He's going to move on this day and he's going to have people drive this way to his new home. There was something we had to pick up in the car. ”

Nina's words echoed in his ears, and Ed paced out of the platform on the side of the road, slowly coming to the middle of the road. He guessed that the relationship between the woman and her father might not be as bad as she had claimed, because if everything was really the same as she counted, then she knew her father to the point where she knew how many times a week he changed his panties.

Fathers and daughters who have a bad relationship with each other don't care about each other so much.

The driver of the moving van may not have expected to meet people waiting for a bus in such a remote part of the city, and when he saw Ed in the middle of the road, he honked his horn violently and slowed down.

Ed had seen what was going on inside the car, and there was only one driver in total, which made his job a lot easier. Then, after calculating the distance, he pulled the bolt and threw the small iron ball in his hand forward, like throwing a paper airplane with a graceful motion.

After the war, all the planetary civilizations and regimes of the solar system have regressed a lot, except for the damn weapons that still maintain a super high level. The light surface metal of the gas bomb ignited a blue flame of energy halfway through the air, piercing the window of the truck like a meteor, hitting the cab inside, and then "bang" - thick white smoke flooded the toilets in Atlantis.

The driver is a well-trained guy. Even in this hellish situation, he still staggered and barely stopped, and then slammed open the car door with a handful of snot and tears, and fell to the side of the road. The tear gas that explodes in the sealed space transforms him into a young lady who loses her dog at a lavish funeral.

Ed trotted to his side and lifted him up from the ground.

"Are you alright, friend?" Ed asked.

"You ......" the driver wiped his face, rolled his eyes and looked at Ed with teary eyes, and opened his mouth.

"Looks like it's okay." Ed breathed a sigh of relief. Then he slammed the hapless guy out with a sharp slap. Pretty movements, only a crow that has just gotten up in the morning can be more beautiful than his movements.

Lying flat on the side of the road with the warm and limp body in his hands, Ed patted his sleeve, turned and walked to the side of the car, watched the smoke in the car clear, got into the cab, started the engine and drove away.

No one saw all this. The road in the huge city of Stuttgar has long been in a state of semi-abandonment due to the change of transport routes, and only a few people know about its existence, and few cars pass through it. That's why Nina would let Ed do it here, and that's why the moving van would pass by here.

While Ed was driving, he looked at the wilderness scenery along the way, and felt relaxed. Maybe in the future, he should buy a car, and then pick and choose this kind of place every now and then—this kind of beach forgotten by the city, walking barefoot on the beach, watching his footprints erased by the wind and waves, and no one knows who he really is.

Nina congratulated him at this time. "It's so beautiful, I think I really looked like I had found a terrible guy by accident...... Now go to the place we agreed upon, I will be waiting for you there. ”

Nina and Ed's agreement is an underground parking lot, just as remote as the old backcountry road. Ed's truck with the windows open and the hole in it swaggered in, unnoticed by any crossers. People in this world are no different from deaf and blind people in many situations, especially when they may get themselves in trouble.

Nina awaits Ed in the deepest part of the darkness in the parking lot. She stood in the dim and bright light, her clothes were snow-white, her eyebrows and eyes were covered by shadows, and her calm expression looked like a female ghost who had just returned home from playing cards.

Ed pulled the car over, Nina walked over, and the two said hello briefly.

"It's going to be over soon." Nina whispered.

Ed didn't answer her, just nodded casually, like a sexually uninteresting prostitute dealing with a prostitute standing on the street. He walked to the back of the car with Nina and opened the compartment.

Nina had previously said that his father had found another woman after breaking up with her and was preparing to move. In the process of moving, he would take the painting that belonged to Nina with him and stuff it into a cart full of goods.

Nina was right, the moving van that had just been hijacked by Ed was indeed stuffed with goods, including a sofa, a TV, and cardboard boxes, both large and small. In addition to this, there are two people inside, a man and a woman.

They appear to have been knocked unconscious and thrown into it at random, in a position similar to that of a frustrated gambler who collapsed in an alley after a hangover and was licked by wild dogs with an empty wallet. Both men and women are well dressed, not people from the bottom of society like Eddard. The man had short burgundy hair, and the woman had short black hair, but it was longer than the man's, touching the shoulders.

They were lying in the carriage, apparently unconscious for quite some time. Looking at the two men, Nina and Ed closed their lips and fell into a psychedelic silence.

"You didn't tell me your dad had a quirk of transporting people like goods." Ed was the first to speak, his eyes not moving, "Don't tell me the painting is in the stomach of one of the two of them. ”

"No......" Nina frowned, her lips moving slightly, muttering to herself twice, then sighed, "I don't know what the hell is going on." ”

This time, she wasn't lying.
