Chapter I: Prologue
A new café has opened in the center of W, which has been renovated, and workers are putting the finishing touches on it.
Outside, a small well-manicured garden is furnished with a few delicate chairs, which are paired with tables of the same style, especially in the British style of the Industrial Revolution.
To be honest, Gao Ning didn't like this kind of chair.
It looks quite eye-catching, but the iron plate seat with a thin layer of leather cushion is very unfriendly to a fat person like Gao Ning.
I only sat for less than ten minutes, and the follow-up project cost was not finished, and my ass felt cold.
It's already November weather, and W City, which is 30 degrees north latitude at a low level, has long been cold, but it is just by the sea, and the sea breeze is full of blending, showing a bit of false warmth.
"Shhhh
Gao Ning shivered violently and subconsciously stomped his feet.
When I woke up in the morning, the false sun deceived the senses, and the coat that had been prepared was stuffed back into the closet.
Gao Ning, graduated from university for two years, Department of Civil Engineering.
I was originally going to the building, but I didn't expect to end up as a small supervisor of the decoration company, which is somewhat of a touch.
In terms of supervising the construction, there is no difficulty, coming and going is those routines, keep more snacks and have a good relationship with the workers, and generally there will be no problems.
But the accounts are about to die, every day, every month, every year. Now Gao Ning's head is big when he sees the numbers.
No, only a dozen receipts and reimbursement vouchers have been obtained until now.
Glancing at the laptop next to him, he locked on the pause screen of the Red Alert encounter.
This is a special dom that he dug up on the forum, an attacking paratrooper.
I heard which great god did it.
As a hardcore Red Police lover No. 2, Gao Ning specially found it, and he tried it when he was ready to get it, but he didn't expect to get it until now.
I took a sip of the coffee that had been cold, smashed it, smashed it, and continued to write in the notebook.
Let's get to work first!
It is said that there are many ways to coffee, especially the hand-poured one, and the taste changes are obvious. And according to the origin of coffee beans, roasting methods and brewing methods, dozens of grades can be divided.
Gao Ning couldn't understand that he drank coffee almost all of the same taste, at most it was more milky, or not so bitter, and the subtle changes in it could not be tasted.
This café claims to be a brand on the Italian side, and a few coffee machines alone cost hundreds of thousands, making it look very tall, and there is no difference in what comes out.
It's all that smell!
Suddenly, a man sat down in front of Gao Ning.
"It's been a long time, Gao Ning, I haven't left in W City, haven't you been urged many times at home? What did Auntie say? ”
Gao Ning raised his head and said in amazement: "Brother? ”
Then he shook his head and said, "No, who are you?" ”
The man smiled gently, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Am I not your brother?"
Gao Ning glanced at him, leaned down again and said, "At first glance, it does look quite similar, but it's a pity that my brother injured his face two years ago when he put out a fire, and there are traces of surgery." Besides, if he is a small leader of the fire department and doesn't go to work honestly, can he still come to me to wave?
Don't look at us as brothers, but the relationship is not so good. But you've done a really good job with your special effects makeup, and it looks very natural. ”
As he spoke, Gao Ning glanced up at the man again, and his mouth was slurking.
The man smiled dumbly: "Okay, special effects makeup is special effects makeup." I've talked to people over the years, and I've been surprised and frightened, and it's really rare to see someone as calm as you.
I'd love to talk to you if I could. ”
"Huh?" Gao Ning was surprised: "What do you mean?" ”
"I mean, you're running out of time!" The man smiled and reached out and pointed upward.
Gao Ning raised his head, heard an exclamation in his ears, and then knew nothing as soon as it was dark in front of him.
The man sat there with Erlang's legs crossed, and the cement wall smashed down against the tip of his nose, bluffing a seat and awning in front of him directly below.
The construction staff ran over in a panic and shouted: "Oh no, Supervisor Gao was smashed by the wall!" Come and a few people! Hurry up, hurry up! That's right! Ambulance, call 120! Damn, what's going on! What are you still doing standing there, why don't you hurry up and help! ”
A group of people rushed over in a panic, helping with all hands and feet, some of them had cold sweat on their foreheads, some of them simply looked confused, some of them didn't know what to do, and there was a young man standing in the distance with a sledgehammer, shaking up and down like a dehaired quail.
That's right, he smashed that wall.
In the chaos, the man Shi Shiran stood up, not surprised at all in the face of the shocking accident, and leisurely brushed his hair in the mirror and straightened the collar of his suit.
Originally, in such a place, the man should be very conspicuous, but the construction workers around him didn't seem to see him, and someone even passed through his body.
The man seemed to be accustomed to it, looked at the buried position of Gao Ning, and whispered to himself:
"According to the unwritten rules, I should briefly tell you about your life. But I'm not in the mood.
Death is death in my case, life is life, and since you are already going to die, then simply cut off the front edge and start over cleanly. Needless concern can only bring trouble and resentment.
It's not good for your new life. Hmmm......"
The man looked at his watch and said, "It's been five minutes, I think you probably have some understanding of the current situation, so come with me, don't waste time, I'm very busy, and there are thirteen people waiting for me today." ”
The voice fell, but there was no reaction at all around.
At the street entrance, an ambulance rushed with a loud siren, followed by a fire truck.
An accident in the city center alarmed the nearby fire station.
After waiting for dozens of seconds, the ambulance was about to arrive, and there was no movement under the wall.
The man frowned, a little puzzled: "Don't do useless struggles, everyone has this step, it's better to hurry up and ...... with me"
Before he finished speaking, the man's face suddenly changed and he stepped forward quickly, penetrating the bodies of several workers like a phantom, and stood directly on the seat where Gao Ning was.
He leaned down slightly, reaching out to dig at the wall.
Nothing!
The man's face darkened, "Damn, how could it be gone?" Could it be that someone is meddling in reincarnation again, no, this is impossible, the agreement has just been signed, and the documents have come down. No one dares to commit a crime against the wind at this critical moment, is this ......? Bastard, I'm three years away from retiring! Isn't that playing with me?
Looks like I'm going to have to use the collectibles I've managed to get my hands on. it! ”
The man seemed to think of something, his face became even more unsightly, and he stomped his feet and disappeared.
The people around turned a blind eye, and the firefighters rushed into the scene and skillfully used tools to rescue.
The construction workers were driven to the periphery, although most of them were a little frightened, but no one left, they were all craned their necks to watch, and their mouths were muttering: "Tsk, do evil, Xiao Gao supervisor is good, and he is a college student, I heard that he has a girlfriend, and this is suddenly gone, it's a pity, it's a pity......"
