For the next few days, Yu Siqi was reading his private collection of books as instructed by the priest, and the knowledge in them was mysterious and incomprehensible. Fr. Ann always laughed at this, and explained that many people can only decipher every word in it for the rest of their lives, and I myself know a little about it!

Having said that, Father An and the others still occasionally leave the Jiang family ancestral hall and don't know where to go, and everyone seems to be very busy. Only Yu Siqi was exceptionally idle, which made him feel a trace of inexplicable irritability, maybe it was because of the hot air in autumn, or maybe it was because he was too full in the hot pot last night?

Looking at the book with the terrible pattern in his hand, Yu Siqi's mind had long since stopped paying attention to it. At the moment, he was distraught and desperately needed to talk to anyone, but he couldn't find the right topic. What's more, he's the only one left in the house at the moment, yes... Those three are not at home today.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Yu Siqi thought about his situation for a moment and found that he felt as if he was imprisoned. In fact, Father An's classes were far from being as interesting as he imagined, and he didn't gain any special abilities like the scenes that always appeared in movies in the past, nor did he become a dragon like the protagonist in the game. Sometimes he wonders why he's so obedient. Admittedly, they did save their lives. His situation was indeed very delicate, as evidenced by the old newspaper that Father Ann had brought back. But so what, why can they go out unscrupulously, aren't they also "three-no" people? Why do you have to be like a rat in a cage, huddled in this broken clinic and read? It's not fair!

Although Yu Siqi tried his best to restrain his thoughts, these dirty and dirty thoughts still popped up in his heart from time to time.

Thinking of this, he looked down at the book in Lameniani in his hand, and after seeing that there were more than 90 pages of text and more than 100 pages of illustrations in the back, he felt that he really didn't have the heart to read it today, so he put the book back on the table and took a sticky note to clip it.

Yes, my biggest gain during this period of time was that with the help of Father Ann and others, I learned what to speak in Lamenianis. I don't know what kind of language it is, or where it comes from. But Fr. Ann insisted that in order to understand his private collection, the language had to be learned.

Fortunately, I only need to learn the content of writing, and I don't care about spoken language or anything, otherwise, Yu Siqi really doesn't know when he will learn.

A dull and oppressive atmosphere permeated the room, and Yu Siqi decided to open the window to let in some air. Because it is late autumn, the weather is still very dry, but the air is mixed with a hint of coolness, which is a little penetrating to the spine. The scenery outside the window is still the same as what I have seen before, and there is nothing special to speak of.

Speaking of which, this area for demolition has been planned for a full decade, and construction has not yet begun. Due to the complete shutdown of the surrounding infrastructure, there are almost no traces of other people's inhabitants in the surrounding old houses. Weedy rubbish is the only sight in the alley, and broken rocks and tattered clothes are left in the broken houses.

The overturned sofa and the cushions with rusty springs are no longer details worth noting, but the old courtyard has some life to speak of.

After blowing a little cold wind, Yu Siqi still rubbed his hands and closed the window tightly. The jacket on his body is not his own clothes, although it is warm but it does not fit, and the cuffs are a few centimeters shorter, which always exposes his wrists to the outside, which is a little uncomfortable.

But there's nothing to complain about, after all, everything was ruined in that accident.

Sitting back in his chair and turning the book to the page he saw, Yu Siqi shifted the light a little closer, and was about to bury his head in reading.

The door opened.

He raised his head slightly, and a man who had surprised himself stood there.

"Hey... Sorry, it's late. Gong Chen said a little abruptly.

Yu Siqi didn't respond, just stared blankly at the person who came towards him, holding a big box in his hand.

"What, angry?" Gong Chen quipped: "Come, laugh, don't be so straightforward!" Is this a welcome gift for your best friend? ”

"Why are you now... Here it comes? Yu Siqi asked stiffly.

"Hey, it's really not a coincidence, the day after you didn't go to work, I accompanied Xiaofang to go abroad to discuss business. Didn't you just come back! Gong Chen gently put the box on the table, looked left and right, and said, "Open it and take a look, it is full of things you need." ”

"How do you know I didn't... That one... Dead? Yu Siqi asked.

"Father God told me all this, and wanted me to say - this is really an interesting story, okay..."After seeing Yu Siqi's expression, Gong Chen rolled his eyes and said, "It was a terrible accident... But no matter what, people are fine. ”

"Who the hell are you?" Yu Siqi asked vigilantly: "I don't think normal people will listen to these things as stories, and I don't believe that the priest will say these things to an ordinary person in person!" ”

"Put away your vigilance, my good student." Father An appeared in front of the door and said, "Although this kid Gongchen is a little naughty, his nature is not bad, and he has no ill will towards you. ”

"Can't you accumulate some virtue, Father Priest?" Gong Chen said in a mocking tone.

"I may be merciful to others, but I think I'm wasting my time with a snobs like you." Father Ann put his hands in his pockets and said, "Tell me who you really are, or he may do something out of the ordinary!" ”

'What can I do out of the ordinary?' Yu Siqi didn't say this, just nodded.

"Okay, let's make it official." Gong Chen politely bowed to the two of them and said, "Gong Chen, the special investigator of Agency 11, is also the guardian of Room 303 of Apartment 23. ”

"What are you talking about?" Yu Siqi asked in surprise.

"Am I not clear enough?" Gong Chen tilted his head and asked, "Hey, you know, buddy, I'm not good at this kind of polite words at all." ”

"I don't understand, every word you say."

The first feeling of seeing his best friend had disappeared from his heart, leaving him with endless confusion and confusion.

"In order for us to get along better in the future, I suggest that you try to understand every word I say." Gong Chen put away his usual cynical attitude, and said seriously: "A long time ago, some terrible things happened in the land of Xinsong, how terrible it is, I don't know, I don't want to know, and I don't plan to know. However, this incident made those in power at the time think that they had to create an agency to monitor some suspicious places. Unfortunately, Room 303 of Apartment 23 is such a suspicious place. The suspicious thing about it is that almost all the tenants who have lived in that place have either disappeared mysteriously, abandoned in the wilderness, or—in the hospital morgue. So what can I do when I learn that there is a new tenant in Room 303 and that he is still working at my wife's company? I'm desperate, I can't tell you to get out of that place, and I don't think I'll be able to convince anyone who doesn't know anything. So I used that diary so that you can find someone who is willing to convince you, that is, this priest who does not know how to be grateful. How's that, is there a little eyebrow! ”

"You mean, you've been spying on me?" Yu Siqi sat in his chair in a daze, his mind confused.

"I've been monitoring that room, sorry, it's a job requirement." Gong Chen said lightly.

When he heard this, something deep in Yu Siqi's heart suddenly shattered, and something cold began to seep into his body, making him feel an abnormal chill.

"Looks like you've failed in your job, hasn't it?" Yu Siqi tried to make his voice sound less weird, but the effect was not ideal.

"I'll just tell you, Father, the truth will make me and him have nothing to do as friends, you have to shake me out like this, you are poisonous!" Gong Chen suddenly changed his painting style, and that familiar cynicism returned.

"Really? Do you think deception can maintain friendship? Yu Siqi asked, "Or am I just an insignificant member of all your watch lists?" ”

"Of course not, buddy... I'm not coming to see you! Gong Chen patted the box and said, "It's all you need, it took me a lot of energy!" ”

"Don't call me buddy, I don't have you as a brother!" Yu Siqi shouted loudly.

"Don't be so ruthless!" Gong Chen said with some grievances: "I also have repentance, it was my dereliction of duty that caused all this to happen. Originally, I was supposed to be on duty that day, but I didn't go abroad with Xiaofang, and it turned out to be this thing. Haven't I been criticized for being miserable in education! ”

"You deserve it!" Father Ann said viciously, "Who made you skip work, who told you not to do your job?" Who told you to leave without a word in advance? I thought you were doing your job! ”

"Good, good... It's all my fault, but I didn't plant that bomb, it's my business! Gong Chen said angrily.

"Wait, what did you say?" Yu Siqi asked.

"I, I didn't say anything, I had to go." Gong Chen, who realized that he had leaked his mouth, hurriedly rubbed towards the door, but he didn't want to be blocked by Father An.

"Let me go, I have to go back to cook for Xiaofang!" Gong Chen said.

"Then you'll have to explain what the bomb was all about," said Father An, looking at a somewhat panicked Gong Chen with a smile.

"Me, are you a threat? I'm going to appeal! Gong Chen protested.

"Shout, I dare say there are probably two people within a hundred miles of me who can hear your cries for help, and both of them are in this room right now. Of course, I don't mind if you do it, you won't forget the thank you gift I gave you after someone broke my door last time, right? Father An said with a pleasant face: "By the way, does your butt still hurt?" ”

"You... Good... Count you ruthless... I recruit, I recruit all. Gong Chen's face changed unpredictably, and after a short breath, he gradually said calmly: "Don't you just want to know what the bomb is, I thought you knew all about it, it seems that Father Priest, your reasoning level has dropped a lot!" ”

"If it weren't for your people surrounding it, I personally think I would have been able to find some clues." Father Ann said with a slight sarcasm.

"That's not our people, that's a good thing for the Accident Elimination Section. As you know, there was no gas in that place at all, and in order to convince the good people from the outside world that there was gas, they had to pull a few truckloads of gas from elsewhere and put it there. Gong Chen leaned against the wall and said, "If you want me to say, they are purely doing this superfluously. ”

"I deeply agree," Father An nodded slightly, "but your intelligence ability should be more than that, otherwise you wouldn't have deliberately 'leaked your mouth'." ”

"Who did it deliberately," Gong Chen explained with a blushing face, "I just, accidentally... Well, nothing can be hidden from you. ”

"Did you find any clues?" Fr. Ann asked.

"Some of the fragments of the explosive device, the shell is assembled from the kind of children's toys on the market, and I have talked to more than a dozen owners who sell this toy, only to know that a man bought this thing, saying that it was a birthday gift for his nephew." Gong Chen took out the fragments that had been prepared from his jacket pocket and handed them to Father An and said, "Take it, I stole it from the archives, you don't have to return it." ”

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Yu Siqi couldn't help but ask.

"This little thing is nothing compared to the life of my good buddy." Gong Chen waved his hand and said, "I'll go first, Xiaofang is estimated to order takeout again, I have to buy the pizza back quickly." ”

"Hey, wait," said Father Ann, who stopped him, "and I have something to discuss with you." ”

"I know, I know, I don't lock the door at night. Remember not to turn on the lights, Xiaofang is sensitive to light thieves, and she was almost discovered last time. Gong Chen trotted downstairs.

"Do you like him as a person?" Father An looked at Yu Siqi and asked.

"Hmm..."It's not good or bad, from some cases Gong Chen did deceive himself, but he actually monitored there for his own safety, there is no doubt about this, so he also did this to protect himself?

"I don't know," Yu Siqi said when he opened the box, and found that it was full of new clothes for autumn and winter, which seemed to be a good brand from the label.

"He's a very special guy, and I can't say I have any liking for him, but there's no doubt that his presence can give us a head start on certain actions." Father Ann picked up the box and said, "All right, you can go on reading, and I'll bring it to your room for you." ”

"By the way, Father, what did you mean by thanks?" Yu Siqi spread out the book again, lowered his head and asked.

"It's a long and boring chore, I think that telling you now will affect your course progress, so study hard." Father Ann took the door and said.
