Age of Chaos Chapter XIX XMP
[This is what happened to "Chen Xiaojie", about the following content]
The bustling part of the city is always like that, isn't it? High-rise buildings and shops. This is the case in every developed city, and it is very boring to teach people just from looking at the scenery.
Yuecheng can't escape this. The most prosperous part of the Moon City is located in Qingtianmen, and the origin of this name is unknown, probably taking the meaning of the whole world and celebrating together. And once you mention the high-rise buildings of Qingtianmen, you have to talk about the underground shopping mall of Qingtianmen. Modern civilization is always not satisfied, there are too many people, like sesame seeds on a baked cake.
Therefore, it is necessary to ask for space from the sky and build a building that reaches into the sky. Once this is not satisfied, it is necessary to go underground. But apparently underground, "underground", shops that go underground are generally very simple. This is the case with the Qingtianmen underground shopping mall. Almost all of them are snack bars and shops that sell clothes, and snack bars can also win the favor of tourists, just play an exclusive brand and get some brand benefits.
The shop that sells clothes is miserable, not only is the store like a gray and weird morgue, but the taste of the clothes is also flattering, and almost all the people who come to buy clothes are middle-aged. But then again, who are the young people who want to go to such a store?
The nail salon is even more dilapidated. Maybe the shopkeeper has some skills, but it's a pity that the money is small, and even the price list is cardboard. Those bottles and cans make people feel that if they rub on their nails, their nails will be corroded.
The protagonist of our story is called Chen Xiaojie. She graduated from the Performance Department of Wolseong Agricultural University. In fact, the cut-off score for this university is quite high. However, Chen Xiaojie doesn't care much about relying on hard work to clear some obstacles on her future road. She sells things part-time, but she lost a month's salary because she accidentally lost thirty products.
She doesn't have a boyfriend, and the reason why she broke up with her ex was because she scolded her ex for having no money and couldn't support her, which caused a big conflict between her and her ex.
She has a beautiful face, a standard classical round face, like a silver basin. Inferior makeup more or less affected her skin. She had large eyes, thin lips that stretched out to the sides, and a high nose. It can even be guessed that most of the ex fell in love with her face. Not tall, a little more than 1.6 meters tall, but the legs are firm and long.
Chen Xiaojie often wanders around the underground shops. She knew that her financial strength could not support any of the luxury items in the shops on the ground. What can't be supported, exaggerated and vulgar, if she gets one on credit, I'm afraid she won't be able to make up for it by doing some special work...... Except, of course, food stores.
It was a rainy afternoon on a mid-June Sunday, the sky was pale and windless, and warnings of rain could occasionally be heard in the residential area.
Chen Xiaojie racked her brains in the house she rented desperately and thought about this month's rent. The landlord is a fairly young woman with children, which is an easy one to deal with. She asked the landlord if his child needed interest tutoring, and it turned out no. She had to find a way to pay all the money in earnest.
But perhaps taking advantage of the landlord's good-natured characteristics, she can put on a pitiful appearance and be in arrears for a few days. However, the so-called salary to fight fires must be repaid no matter what. Parents don't have to think about it, her help is always scolded in exchange for help, and sometimes she feels that her parents are not as good as her best friends in college. But it's not great, is it? My girlfriend is not in the same city, and I haven't heard from her for a few years. After thinking about it, she decided, she didn't want to. She's going to the underground store to relax.
But in this world, who knows how things will play out? If Chen Xiaojie knew what was waiting for her next, then she would definitely not go to the store. The shop was as usual that day, the greasy lights of the food stalls were lit up, and the clothes store was still the light of Shiramori. There are a few stores that have neon signs.
The mixing of these lights only makes the underground mall even more psychedelic and degenerate. Chen Xiaojie first walked to a food stall, ready to eat to relieve her sorrows. During her short journey, she noticed that a clothing store had purchased four plaster models. Generally speaking, the goods and clothes of such stores are hung on the wall, and it is rare to buy plaster models. Besides, a model is worth half a month's income.
When she finished eating a string of squid balls, she continued on her way. Bumped into a man on the road. The man cringed and apologized to her, and she whispered that it was okay.
After only walking past three clothing stores, she noticed something strange. There were four or five plaster casts in front of each of the three clothing stores. Could it be that these people have won the lottery and are interested in expanding their business? Chen Xiaojie was very strange and felt a little angry at the same time. Hum! A few more prayers on WeChat are not as good as the luck of these profiteers! Alas!
Just as she was thinking about it, a sharp voice came from somewhere in the bustling crowd. "Ahh It moves! It's really moving! β
What moved? A fish that hasn't died clean?
Xiao Xue searched for the sound and found the person who was shouting. It was a girl who looked younger than her, with a white shirt, a small red plaid bow tie, a short skirt and a yellow hat. "I mean, that plaster cast ......"
Chen Xiaojie had a thought in her head. Can mental illness also take to the streets now? She looked at the crowd and saw the expressions on their faces, and they must have thought the same way as she did. The clothing store owner in front of the girl opened his mouth slightly, very surprised. A woman with heavy makeup squeezed past the screaming girl in disgust and left. When Xiaoxue was about to continue shopping, she suddenly noticed that the shouts were connected. "It's June 16th, not April 1st......" she heard a junior high school boy next to her mutter. Really," a fat man rushed in front of Xiao Xue, his face panicked enough to scare Xiao Xue, "that plaster ...... Will move! I don't know ......."
As with all undrilled terrorist attacks, everyone flew away. If there is a bystander at this time, it should be funny, because most people are running in a direction other than the exit of the mall. Even if Chen Xiaojie hadn't seen any moving plaster statues with her own eyes, she was frightened by the atmosphere. "Why didn't I expect that the circle of friends who turned to pray yesterday was accompanied by a black cat?
Chen Xiaojie shouted. Her sanity told her which direction the exit from the mall was, when the voice of the man who had just shouted at him suddenly broke, like a man holding down a bouncing ball. Chen Xiaojie was horrified to see that the man's eyes suddenly drifted, and then gradually fell down. He had a sharp knife stuck in his left back. Blood trickled down from the wound. Disgust, fear, and panic grabbed Chen Xiaojie tightly. The blood vessels in her brain burst. is a plaster cast. It was a plaster model who poked him.
Regardless of where the knife came from, the expressionless face of the plaster cast alone is creepy. Chen Xiaojie hopes that all this is a dream, and hopes that the gypsum man, even if he smiles at her weirdly, his expressionless face is really too trembling.
The absurd thing is that Chen Xiaojie shouted something strange. "I still have 3,000 yuan in rent to pay, I haven't married the richest man in the world, my prayers haven't been fulfilled yet, I haven't fulfilled my dream of traveling around Europe, and I'm about to be killed by a plaster cast!"
It was too late, but it was too fast, and just as the plaster model pulled out a sharp knife and stabbed Chen Xiaojie, who had forgotten to run, a man clamped it from behind the plaster man. "Run!" The man said. Isn't that the man you just bumped into? Chen Xiaojie had several thoughts mixed up in her head. One is to run, it is important to escape, maybe this male hero will not succeed in saving the United States, but will be stabbed into a sieve; the second is to run, this man is so handsome; The third is to run, if this man dies, who will his money belong to?
At such a thought, the man pulled down the plaster statue, which fell to the ground and shattered into pieces of flying wreckage. At this time, Chen Xiaojie found that there seemed to be a mechanism in the joints of the human body of the plaster statue. "It's not exactly plaster, otherwise you won't be able to move flexibly." The man's voice was so calm that he seemed to be accustomed to such things. Chen Xiaojie had just forgotten the people fleeing around her and their screams slowly came into her attention again. I forgot everything, really. She gasped and thought so. She felt the weight of her internal organs become weightless. Then came the question. Am I still running?
The man who saved her ignored her, he picked up something like a walkie-talkie, and shouted to someone on the other end of the walkie-talkie, "Miss Tang! Did you turn off the master controller? β
The screams mingled with the man's voice, and every now and then there were some cries. The greasy lights are even more disgusting, the white lights are more intimidating, and the neon loses its brilliance. "It's coming! Wait......" "Can't wait! I just saved a fool! β
Chen Xiaojie wanted to scold him, but she felt it was better not to. She stayed there, and she felt that it should be safe to stay with this man, much safer than if she had run away now. Don't run away.
"I'm all right!"
Soon, everything was noisy...... It's still going on. "Oh my God, can you people notice that the thing chasing you is not moving when you are running for your life?"
"What do you call us people?" Chen Xiaojie spat at his mouth. "That is, you don't have to use your brains ......"
Chen Xiaojie chose to swallow her anger. She thinks it's always good to follow this man, safety first.
Finally, after the boy had been complaining for a long time, the noise stopped. "Why don't you go out?" That man really noticed Chen Xiaojie now. "Who did you decide to collect the body for here?"
"You're sick." Although Chen Xiaojie had lingering palpitations in her heart, she mustered up some inexplicable courage after all.
The boy suddenly stopped talking. He turned his head silently. At this time, Chen Xiaojie found that two girls came over. "Ah, my Tang Jie! At least a few people have died in your slow operation. β
Dead person!
Chen Xiaojie felt that she should not be so ruthless. But when she saw the body of the fat man, she had no other feelings than retching.
"Carry this body away. Call the task force to carry it away later. Remember to amnestic that ...... Survivor. One of the two new girls said, a mushroom-headed girl.
She pointed at Chen Xiaojie.
Yes? Chen Xiaojie was stunned.
"I ......" Chen Xiaojie didn't know what to say.
"This." Another doll-like girl pulled a pill out of her pocket. "Amnestic pills." She smiled encouragingly at Chen Xiaojie.
"What's that? Are you dreaming? β
The doll just tried to explain to Chen Xiaojie again, but the man said, "It seems to be a C-level mental stimulation." β
"I think you're dreaming!" The mushroom-headed girl scolded harshly.
Naturally, all the doubts, panics, and fears in Chen Xiaojie's heart were turned into anger by this sentence. "Me? I'm just a poor man who resigned myself to fate! How could I have the brain to think that the plaster statue would move like this? She wanted to say something dirty, but paused.
The cold face of the corpse and the plaster model kept hitting Xiaoxue's most fragile nerves. Of course, she'd better check if she's dreaming. She didn't think it was, or that the dream wasn't doing well. I didn't manage to buy ten Rolls-Royces in one go, and I dreamed of such a ridiculous thing. After attributing everything to the nightmare, the fear of corpses and plaster casts lessened slightly.
"Anyway," the doll began, "take the medicine, and all recent memories will be forgotten." She pulled out a very small black cup, which felt like a miniature. Chen Xiaojie didn't bother to ask what this model-sized cup was for, because it obviously couldn't be used to scoop water and drink. At this time, the mushroom head opened his mouth: "You ...... all day"
"It's like sleeping all day, not knowing that there's a force behind you that is saving you." There was a hint of contempt in the man's voice.
Chen Xiaojie felt a little amused when she heard this, but when she remembered that it was indeed these three mysterious people who saved everyone in the mall, she suppressed her smile.
"Don't steal my words." The mushroom head was suddenly furious.
Xiaoxue didn't know why they could still talk about a corpse. "What's your name?" Doll asked.
"Chen Xiaojie."
"Which Xiao?" The muscles of the doll's face tightened, and there was a hint of excitement in her voice.
"The dawn of spring."
Except for Chen Xiaojie, the three people froze at the same time. The doll gave the man a look, which was obviously a rhetorical question: Wouldn't it?
"Hey!" Chen Xiaojie felt insulted. Silent. After a while. "The next question...... Very important," the doll's voice trembled, "what is your grandfather's name?" β
Chen Xiaojie was really stunned. Has any normal stranger come up to you and ask you this question?
Suddenly, several men in dark blue uniforms walked briskly with stretchers and helped the body up. A man walked up to Mushroomhead and muttered something, and Mushroomhead nodded. After a while, the men carried the body away. Chen Xiaojie glanced at the logo on a person's uniform in a state of confusion. It's a strange regular triangle with three letters written inside the triangle from top to bottom: XMP.
Chen Xiaojie didn't know what she had woken up, she only felt that there was a lot of article in it. One last look at the corpse. Bend down and vomit. finally eased up, but he wasn't so scared, but just whispered: "Grandpa's name is Chen Ziwei." β
The three men jerked. After that, the man spun around like crazy, the doll's eyes widened, and the mushroom head looked like ashes. Chen Xiaojie was frightened.
"I know I'm not dead, I know." Mushroom Head said. She gritted her teeth.
"Zhang Manru, come over here. Tang Jie, you stay, let Miss Chen not be afraid, and ask her if she wants to ...... Forget it, you can comfort her first, and we will have our own explanation. The man said. He regained his composure. But his voice was shaking, too.
Somehow, Chen Xiaojie felt that now was the time to run. She looked at Tang Jie, who was like a doll, and felt that she should show some of a woman's jealousyβTang Jie's thick black curls flowed like a cascade around her neck, her facial features were small, the bridge of her nose was very straight, and there was a natural tear mole next to her big and watery eyes. She doesn't need any good lipstick because her lips themselves are a pretty red color. "You're waiting here. It doesn't matter, we're not bad people. β
Chen Xiaojie wasn't sure if such childlike words would be useful. She just felt that the series of horrific scenes just now were harassing her in her mind, and she had nowhere to hide, only to humiliate herself by those horrific images.
Of course, she also had doubts. Who the hell are these people? Who is it? She's just an ordinary woman who has barely lived a quarter of her life, and she's not the one in control of the keys to the nuclear bomb, so how can she be attractive to these people? Could it be that he really did something that he shouldn't have done and violated the rules of heaven?
Finally, she couldn't support it anymore, and squatted down, tears streaming out. She didn't know how long the man and Zhang Manru, that is, the mushroom head, would have to talk. Fortunately, Tang Jie's reassurance of her was completely ignored, and about a few minutes later, the man and Zhang Manru turned their heads to look at her.
"Don't cry." Zhang Manru was a little deflated and angry, and stopped the man who was about to go up to comfort him. "I just want to know what the hell is going on, is it so hard!" Chen Xiaojie stood up and startled the two of them. "It's the first time I've seen a dead person in my life, and this plaster statue will move! Can you calm me down? No, I can't calm down! Especially if you are still pressuring me, asking me this and that, if you want to do anything to me, you can hurry up, I don't believe in any Buddha anymore, there is no Buddha! β
Zhang Manru was choked by her, and looked at Xiaoxue with two eyes. The man looked at her with a look of understanding. Tang Jie blamed herself and the other two as she tried to say some useless words of comfort again. "Listen, we understand that you are helpless." The man slowed down. "I think if you really want to know where it all came about, we should have a better place to talk."
People are like this, what else Chen Xiaojie can manage in this situation, I can't wait to know now. But what little reason she had left felt that she couldn't kill these three unknown people, so she could only agree to the man's words. Agreed without hesitation.
"you." Zhang Manru sighed in a low voice. I don't know who to scold.
Chen Xiaojie tried not to let herself feel that Zhang Man was scolding her for her gaffe.
"Well," the man said, "since you seem to be in a hurry. Why don't we meet tomorrow? β
"Okay." Chen Xiaojie agreed. However, the recovered reason made her feel that it was not good to meet a boy somewhere.
"It's not going to be me, I think someone else. Rest assured, we have enough people. β
Chen Xiaojie plucked up some courage and asked her if she could leave now. It was then dawned on her that since she had told them who she was, the matter of amnestics had been forgotten. But she was suddenly tired and didn't want to care. "Yes. If you encounter any more danger, be sure to call me. Don't be afraid that you won't get through. Our phones get through no matter what. Of course, you may be able to rely on your mind. But this study, I mean mind dialing, is ......"
Zhang Manru coughed a few times intentionally. The man changed his words and said, "Tang Jie will accompany her home." β
Chen Xiaojie felt that it was best not to refuse. She felt that after this experience, maybe something even stranger would happen. So she nodded her head and gestured yes.
"Let's break up here. A dilapidated shop. The man said. Tang Jie nodded. The man looked at the watch in his hand again, and suddenly a strange sentence came out: "The subway is about to start." β
So the man and Zhang Man were like a group, as if they were still lingering there. Tang Jie helped Chen Xiaojie and walked towards the exit. Xiaoxue suddenly thought that she hadn't looked at the two of them carefully, but maybe there would be time in the future.
