Chapter 4: Encounters
The city of Hedao always wakes up very early, the eldest sister wearing the Hedao sanitation armband sweeps the fallen leaves to the side of the road, and the young white-collar workers gather around the cart selling breakfast, and the delicate makeup can't hide the heavy tiredness on the face.
The bus arrived as scheduled, and the young man left his breakfast seller behind and moved quickly.
"You can't eat on the bus." Bai Yao watched all this from afar, muttering to himself, he hadn't felt the morning air on Hedao for a long time.
Bai Yao is not a person who is good at getting up early, the foreign trade work he did before, let him develop the habit of going to bed late and getting up late, although he does not need to connect with customers in the middle of the night in the past few months after unemployment, but the human biological clock is not so easy to be changed, if it is not because of the mobile phone, there is a high probability that it will last for a long time.
Yesterday, Bai Yao suffered from insomnia for the first time.
The sudden opening of the GPS made him very concerned.
"Maybe it's a mobile phone app that triggers the phone's location? I've heard that some unscrupulous software developers have recently used some built-in programs to obtain users' location information and sell them to merchants to facilitate their advertising. ”
"Or maybe it's something that comes with this phone? After all, this is the latest, claiming to be a cross-generation phone with built-in artificial intelligence. ”
"Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's my own delusion."
Bai Yao thought of countless possibilities, trying to convince himself that tomorrow would still be an ordinary day.
But he failed.
When he smashed the phone for the first time, his intuition was already aware of the danger faster than his brain, and after Bai Yao denied his guesses again and again, the answer was clearly in front of him.
Rats were found.
In the following time, he tossed and turned on the bed, like a beast being targeted, and the slightest movement made him wonder if the police had come to the door.
Unbeknownst to him, it was this small apartment next to the train station that helped him escape the hunters for a while.
Did you leave Hedao overnight?
Bai Jin didn't think so, but he immediately rejected the idea. The reason can be traced back to the first case, the famous painting called "Mona Lisa".
If the police had discovered their whereabouts, they would probably have blocked all the passages out of the city, and it would be tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap if they had already discovered their whereabouts.
From the perspective of self-preservation, it may be a good choice to burn the famous paintings or destroy them by other means. But when it comes to the painting that is said to be the greatest in history, the situation is different.
Admittedly, the painting is of unparalleled value.
It was previously predicted that if it was auctioned, the painting would sell for at least 5 billion yuan.
But since Bai Yao gained the ability of a mouse, money no longer means much to him. He was unable to make a reason for destroying famous paintings, and was left with a simple view of good and evil.
Bai Jin has a feeling that all choices are the keys to different futures, the bottom line of good and evil will continue to change with his choices, and once he makes the decision to destroy the famous painting, it means that the door to hell symbolizing hell is opened.
Bai Yao may be a cold person, but he is by no means a wicked person.
So he made a decision: if the police came knocking on his door now, he would immediately give up resistance and arrest him.
He didn't wait for the police to knock on the door, but he waited for the first rays of sunlight outside the window. Bai Jin felt that this was a hint from God to him, and the tiredness of a sleepless night was swept away, followed by a long-lost light called hope.
At this time, Bai Jin was enjoying the cold morning air of Hedao, and he was going to go to the bank across the road to withdraw some cash, and then go to the electronic city to buy himself a new mobile phone, and by the way, look around to see if there is a suitable new home to hide.
Bai Yao, who was carrying a concern, didn't notice that another person with a concern was driving a red sedan and was driving straight in his direction.
"Bang!"
Bai Yao didn't feel pain, or even felt the presence of his body, and the world in front of him began to spin.
The moment he broke away from gravity, time seemed to stop, making him mistakenly believe that his soul had broken away from his body, but soon the touch of hitting the windshield of the car pulled him back to reality, and then he found himself falling to the ground like a stuffed animal casually discarded by a child.
It took about a second for Bai Yao to recover from his shock.
A girl walked out of the cab in a panic, Bai Yao saw the girl's face, and suddenly felt the blood in her whole body rush to her brain, and she was suddenly dizzy.
The girl hurriedly ran to his side and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
He recognized the girl in front of him, although he didn't know the name, but a few hours ago, a picture of this girl had appeared on a mobile phone, and he stared at the photo for several minutes.
"Is it a coincidence?" At this point, the rules of the game written on the back of the mouse card came to his mind, "Cat and mouse will attract each other." I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back, as if I was choked by an invisible hand, and I couldn't say a word.
Seeing that Bai Yao didn't speak, the girl hurriedly asked the onlookers to dial 120.
He looked at the girl's scurrying appearance, and he thought it was very funny.
In his memory, the last time he experienced this feeling of being cared for was twenty years ago - since his father died and his mother remarried, no one had given Bai Yao care, so much so that even he didn't think it mattered later.
Even if this kind of concern is just out of guilt for hitting people, it still gives Bai Jin a rare sense of freshness.
Ten minutes later, an ambulance and a traffic police officer appeared at the scene at the same time. After a brief examination, Bai Yao was carried to the ambulance by several people.
His body has changed from being unconscious at the beginning to a state of pain to death when touched, this feeling reminds Bai Jin of the time when he strayed into the scene of the brawl when he was a child, was chased by thugs with sticks for two streets, and was finally blocked in the corner of the wall and beaten for twenty minutes.
"Could that girl be a cat?" Although the body can't move, it doesn't prevent Bai Yao's brain from running rapidly, and the rule that cats and mice will attract each other is against the laws of science, if the card can make cats and mice meet in this way, it is almost a technology to manipulate fate, he feels like a puppet pulled by a rope, and a strong sense of disgust arises spontaneously.
"Not only the identity of the cat, but also the ability of the cat has no way to confirm at this time. From the point of view that mice have the ability to retrieve objects from the air, it is better to think that cats also have the ability to go beyond common sense. Cats play the role of hunters, and from a gameplay point of view, cats are more likely to have abilities that can help with searches. ”
"In that case...... Damn it! The eyelids are so heavy......"
Bai Yao's consciousness is getting farther and farther away, like a kite flying into the air, only connected by a thin wire, he tried to pull the thread in his hand, but the kite still flew farther and farther, and finally "bang".
The line is broken.
