Chapter 116: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Neither the fat man nor I responded to Xiao Ting. The fat man saw that my face had changed, and his big eyes stared at the computer screen for a while, as if he remembered something, poked me and whispered, "Just that word game?" ”
I didn't speak, but that's the default representation. I heard the fat man inhale between his teeth, and it seemed that he also thought of the terrible thing that was going to happen. It is not difficult to understand that in fact, everyone will be afraid of Xiao Guolin's decision, and the fact that he has made these arrangements shows that he knows that he may not be able to come back.
If it is the same as I thought, Xiao Guolin left me a reminder for decoding the code through a letter, and another letter is the main content. Then the content of this letter must be very important, and it must be related to his operation, and it should even be top-secret information. Of course, I would like to know the contents of this letter, it is in line with the direction of my current investigation, and it will be of great help to me.
There is a hint of Xiao Guolin's last letter, and there is no difficulty in unlocking this password, I recalled the content of Xiao Guolin's last letter, and determined that the prompt in his letter was three or two jumps. I pulled out a piece of paper and began to write down the thirteen words decoded by the first layer in two increments, and then took one at a time based on that. In the end, there were thirteen meaningless words that appeared on the paper: I am walking lightly, and I am light.
While filling in these words in the password box in order, I poked the fat man with my elbow, and the fat man leaned his head over in understanding, and the heads of the two of us completely blocked the screen, and Xiao Ting in the back couldn't see it at all.
I clicked on the confirmation button, and a long letter appeared in front of me. I didn't look at the contents, but quickly transferred the file to another folder on my computer. In the middle of the operation, a prompt box suddenly appears, and the task delivery failed. I clicked the mouse twice in a row, only to find that the USB flash drive had been pulled out, and when I turned around, Xiao Ting was holding a hand and glaring at me with disgust.
It turned out that this girl was calculated by the two of us, so she simply pulled out the USB flash drive at the bottom of the kettle. Although there is something unkind about me doing this, it is for her good after all, Xiao Guolin asked me to take care of her, and I also tried to avoid letting her know more information, of course I couldn't let her go down that dangerous road. I was a little angry and looked at her very sternly.
The fat man was not so good-tempered, and after looking back, he suddenly turned around and stood up, stepping in front of Xiao Ting. His height is more than 20 centimeters taller than Xiao Ting, and Xiao Ting has to look up to him in a face-to-face situation. Frankly speaking, the fat man's expression was absolutely intimidating, and even I was stunned by his expression.
Xiao Ting looked up at the fat man with her face up, her face was as white as a piece of paper, biting her lip, her face was tense, but her eyes flashed with an unyielding light. I think she has a leopard in her heart at the moment.
The fat man slowly stretched out a hand, almost pestle it on Xiao Ting's face, lowered his head and said two words coldly: "Take it." ”
The voice was as cold as ice, and I felt that the breath he exhaled would be cold, like an ice lump smashing on Xiao Ting's face. The psychological pressure that Xiao Ting is under at the moment is conceivable, her face began to turn blue, I think she may collapse at any time, and she will hand over the USB flash drive at any time to get relief. It's cruel, and I have to try to restrain myself so that I don't mess with the fat man's plans. I know the fat man, his hand is effective for most people, and he is absolutely easy to use to coerce Xiao Ting. But then Xiao Ting's voice dispelled this thought.
The "no" is not loud, but it is calm and powerful.
As soon as they heard this, the fat man's big eyes widened even more, and there was a heavy beast-like breathing sound from his nose, and the expression on his face became more and more hideous, giving people the feeling that they would pounce on each other at any time and tear each other apart.
I frowned, this expression was over, it really scared the little girl out of a bad way, and it was even more troublesome. I patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Don't scare people, say it well." ”
When the fat man heard this, he changed his face and put on a wicked smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you come." ”
After saying that, he turned the chair and sat in, kicked the floor with both feet, and the swivel chair with pulleys slid to the other end of the room with a "stinging sound".
Xiao Ting's face was still pale, her chest rose and fell violently, she didn't look at the fat man again, staring at me, there was anger and grievance in her eyes. I felt a pain in my heart, Xiao Guolin asked me to take care of her, did I do this...
The thought of a slight self-reproach is fleeting, and if I want to stick to my principles, I must be ruthless. How to get her to hand over the USB flash drive and filter the secret information in the letter made me scratch my head, and I looked at her without expression and emotion on my face. Thinking about how to convince her.
Knowing that this girl is stubborn, it will backfire if she uses tough means, so let's use coaxing methods. Time heals wounds, forgets grief, and drags on for a better time. I quickly thought about the persuasion methods and wording, and decided to get the USB flash drive in my hands first. I have already decoded the USB flash drive on paper, if she takes it away, she can open this letter herself, I believe she will tell me the content of the letter, after all, Xiao Guolin left this letter to me. The problem is that I don't want her to know the content, if the letter contains Xiao Guolin's plan for this operation, it will make her take risks.
"I know where Xiao Guolin is." I said this calmly and then deliberately paused, and saw that Xiao Ting's face turned crimson from excitement as I expected. "Yes, it's right for you to ask Cao Mingzhe to understand the situation, and I think only the two of us know where Xiao Guolin is."
In Xiao Ting's eyes full of hope, I continued: "That place is very dangerous, I went in with Xiao Guolin last time, and Cao Mingzhe. I can't tell you how specific I am. Also, I don't know how many people we died that time, because I was in a coma and left the system for some reason. But I was able to tell you definitively that the people who died last time were the same as those who disappeared this time, they encountered the same things. ”
In order to dispel her thoughts and increase her fear, I had to talk nonsense. But there is no proof of this, no matter what I say, she can only believe it.
"What's that?" As soon as my words fell, Xiao Ting couldn't wait to ask.
I pointed to her hand holding the USB stick and stared at her without speaking. Her hand was clenched tightly, and her knuckles were a little white. My finger made her immediately vigilant, and she put her hands behind her back and looked at me suspiciously.
I shook my head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Guolin should have mentioned this thing in his letter, and since he is willing to go there again, he should be prepared." But I can assure you that there is no location in this letter where he is going, and this is what we agreed on. ”
I saw obvious disappointment in Xiao Ting's eyes, and I still have a way to deal with a junior.
"In other words, if you want to find Xiao Guolin, there is no hope without me or Cao Mingzhe leading the way." I uttered the most crucial sentence.
PS: Is it the weekend today? It's a mess. Have a great weekend to all.
