Chapter Fifty-Six: The Daily Life of an Agent
After Vena's little secret was discovered by Gu Chen, she thought a lot, the matter of flames could not be justified no matter what, this kind of ability had never appeared on the earth, and any more "mysterious scientific research organization" would only make herself look like an idiot.
Since the matter is out of control, it is simpler, either confess the truth to the other party and continue to seek cooperation; Or, everyone tears their faces and kills people.
Vena finally weighed it and decided to believe Gu Chen for the time being, firstly, because Gu Chen did not act when she was unconscious, and secondly... Vina really needs an ally in the true sense of the word now, otherwise with her, a little girl of four or five years old, helpless on a strange planet, and unable to solve the problem of food when she leaves the orphanage, how can she talk about returning to Hanina?
But if she wants to honestly "explain the problem", Wei Na is also unwilling in her heart, so she gave Gu Chen three restrictions, she wanted to retreat as advance and retain a little initiative for herself, but she didn't expect that there was a "master" behind Gu Chen, and she easily saw through her identity.
So, she wanted to meet this guy who the hell was sacred.
She thought that after her request was made, Gu Chen would definitely not agree immediately, at least hesitating, after all, the two of them could be said to have their own ghosts, and it was not a wise move to take such a person to her base camp at will.
Unexpectedly, after Gu Chen heard this request, he immediately agreed with a clapping of his hands!
......
"This is your secret stronghold?"
Vena looked at the scene in front of her and asked, the place she was in now was not far from the orphanage, and the distance in a straight line was only a dozen kilometers.
Standing in front of Vena's eyes is a ten-storey apartment building, which looks ...... It is very lively, there are many windows wide open, stretching out long bamboo poles, hanging colorful clothes, quilts, etc., there are about a dozen such high-rise buildings, and around them is a large area of low houses, some are inhabited, and some are rebuilt and used as shops.
Obviously, this is a community that is very much characteristic of the earth's native culture.
Of course, it was the first time for Vina to see such a cultural landscape, and it was rare to see such a chaotic scene in Hanina.
Vena followed behind Gu Chen, who led her quickly through the twisting alleys.
Gu Chen greeted his neighbors cordially, and replied to Vina disdainfully: "Then what do you think?" An abandoned factory? Or an unfinished building off the beaten track? A small hidden door in a dark underground garage? Miss, have you read too many novels? ”
Before she came, Vina really thought so, the agent in her concept should be the kind of person who tries to hide his whereabouts, and every day he goes into simple terms, even changing places every few days, in case he is discovered, and he never communicates with people...... Isn't that what agents should all look like?
"The kind of person you're talking about won't survive even a month in this line of work." Vena's theory made Gu Chen laugh out loud.
"Why?" was ridiculed, Vina was very unconvinced, and her puffing appearance was very cute.
"First of all, the agent's primary skill is not invasion, disguise, assassination, etc., but survivability, according to your schedule, you will be malnourished in less than a month. Second, the so-called big hidden in the city, hiding yourself in the most prosperous downtown is the most clever disguise, like you go out day and night all day long, with a bitter and hateful look, you don't need the enemy to find you, the surrounding neighbors will call the police! ”
"That's... Wouldn't you change some of your foothold? Vina already somewhat agreed with Gu Chen's statement, but it was impossible for her to admit defeat to Queen Hanina.
Gu Chen greeted the surrounding vendors familiarly, this alley is a vegetable market, the two walked from north to south, Gu Chen already had several more bags in his hand, all of which were sent by uncles and aunts who bought vegetables here, from melons, fruits and vegetables to chickens, ducks and fish, everything, it can be seen that his popularity here is very good.
He threw a few bags at Vina, which were so heavy that Vina was almost knocked on the head.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Chen looked at her helplessly, "I'm sure you must not have seen a real agent now, read less novels and movies, those things are all deceiving children like you who have never seen the world." ”
Haven't seen the world before? Child?
I actually said that I was a child who had never seen the world? I'm afraid you can't even think of what I've been through!
"Change your footing? To put it simply, do you think it is so easy to find a suitable place to live? Not to mention anything else, an agent must have a lot of equipment and equipment that cannot be seen, and the problem of moving is not easy to solve, and furthermore, when you arrive in a new place, you must re-familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment and people, an outsider is easy to notice, and it is a taboo for agents to attract attention. ”
Gu Chen raised the loot in his hand and continued: "In the end, do you think that being an agent is very rich? I finally got a good relationship, hehe, I saved another meal today. ”
Listening to Gu Chen's words, Wei Na's smiling face turned red, and she really couldn't think of anything to refute, she really didn't know the real agent.
"Hmph, slam the door!"
Gu Chen smiled, the two of them finally walked to an apartment, and met an elderly grandmother in the elevator, Gu Chen even had an in-depth discussion with the other party on the price of pork in the market, and after spitting a lot, he actually got a trophy - two apples.
After waving goodbye to Grandma, Gu Chen shook the apple in his hand at Vina, "Eat it or not, it's sweet." ”
"Don't eat it!"
"Pull down!"
Standing in front of the door, Vina looked left and right, there were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in the corridor, the soundproofing in this building was not very good, and she could even clearly hear a couple in the next room arguing fiercely, it seemed that it was about the problem of her husband hiding private money.
"Alas, it's unlucky to marry such a wife, this month is already the seventeenth time, it's just a few hundred yuan, it's all boring." Gu Chen opened the door and sighed.
Seventeen ...... Has this guy counted? Who the hell is boring?
Vina was in a trance, what the hell was she doing? Standing in an old apartment building, holding eggplant and cucumber in one hand, and half a pound of pork in the other... I must have my brain in water to think that a guy who has nothing to do and counts how many fights next door has quarreled this month can help him.
Gu Chen's hand twisting the key suddenly stopped, and he turned around and squatted down to look at Vena.
"I mean, you don't have intermittent neuropathy in my house, do you?"
"You're a psychopath!"
"I can tell you, this is densely populated around, if you poke any basket, I can't help you, earthlings are very interested in aliens and abnormal creatures, I heard that there are some special organizations that specialize in dealing with your situation, if you don't find out, they will take you away, maybe they will dissect you to see if there is anything to study, maybe they will be made into specimens and hung on the wall!"
Vina sneered, "Don't you care, I don't know who will dissect whom at that time." ”
Gu Chen scratched his head and looked at Vena, "Also, ordinary people like you can't deal with iron-blooded women......" Before Gu Chen finished speaking, he saw that Vena's forehead blood vessels burst out......
"Haha... Ha ha... Just kidding, don't care. Who's... Ogawako! Guests are coming! Kids have to get along! ”
Gu Chen pushed open the door and walked in first, Vena walked into the room, and the first thing she felt was ......
Disorderly! It's so chaotic that there's nowhere to put your feet down, and it's just the scene in front of you.
The whole room is actually quite large, at least one or two people can live in it, this apartment is a typical three-room structure, every window is sunny, there is plenty of light, and living in it should be very comfortable.
But Vina only took one step into the room before stopping, because she hadn't figured out where to take the second step.
The bright living room has only a set of sofas, a coffee table and a TV, which should be very empty, but there are dirty clothes everywhere, and there is a shirt on the sofa, on the coffee table, on the floor, and even on the TV.
The floor was littered with empty wine bottles, piled east and west, and used bowls and saucers.
Gu Chen frowned when he saw Vina standing at the door, and shrugged his shoulders, "No way, I'm a man, and I'm single, it's normal for the house to be a little messy." ”
"Don't you have a friend living here? He's the same as you? Can you stand up to this? ”
Gu Chen raised his finger and pointed, Wei Na looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately understood what Gu Chen meant, it was a closed door, and from that door, a "path" leading to the bathroom was opened up in the garbage-filled living room......
"Xiao Chuanzi is actually lazier than me, you see, he only cleaned up the area he would use, and completely ignored the rest."
Vina gave him a blank look, "It's so thick-skinned. ”
