Volume 1: Top Secret Fuse — Chapter 19: Lab Weirdos
Fifteen days in prison was like a few years for me. On this day, the police at the detention center took me out of my cell.
A figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar sat silently in a chair.
"You!" my eyes saw the rain. At the moment, I can't tell whether it's excitement or resentment.
Seeing a smile on my face, Xinyu still had a cold gaze in her eyes, and she said to me lightly: "I hired a lawyer for you, and the trace amount of drugs you carried on you is not enough to convict you." Now we can go. With that, she stopped looking at me, turned around and walked out of the police station.
I glanced at the policeman next to me, who nodded to me in acquiescence. I lifted my feet and followed Na Xinyu out of the police station.
Na Xinyu and I walked and walked on the street like this. I don't know how long I walked, but she suddenly took out a train ticket from the pocket of her clothes, handed it to me, and said, "You leave the city, go now." Don't come back. ”
"I! leave Star City! Don't come back!" I sneered at Na Xinyu.
"Do you think that the people who want you to lose will let you stay in this city with a swagger any longer?" That Xinyu didn't look at me, and still said to me coldly: "This time they are just a small warning to you. ”
I hesitated for a moment and took the ticket in Na Xinyu's hand, which read: Star City - Cannes. "Why Cannes? I'm also going to the provincial capital, and the football club in the provincial city has agreed to sign a contract with me. I asked Na Xinyu in confusion.
"Do you think you can play football again?" Xinyu handed me her mobile phone with her hand, and when I looked at it, the search bar on the phone read: Iron Ass Six. The following is full of news about Iron Ass Six's drug use being controlled by the police.
"This! these are all rumors!" I roared at Na Xinyu, "It was the bald man who framed me. It was the restaurant manager of the revolving restaurant in Desheng Building who stuffed drugs in my jacket pocket!"
"Do you have proof?" said to me coldly as she walked towards me.
"I, I, I didn't. I wilted and begged, "I can't go." I haven't graduated yet, and I haven't finished my dissertation yet. I haven't gotten my degree yet. ”
"If something like this happens, can the school keep you?" That Xinyu handed me a school expulsion notice again.
I was in a hurry, took the dismissal notice with one hand, and shouted to Na Xinyu on the other: .." At least I don't have enough evidence, the police haven't tested me for drugs in my blood! Besides, the small amount of drugs found on my body doesn't convict me. How can the school ......"
"What schools care about is not what the police say, it's what the media says. The influence that the school pays attention to is posture, don't you know!" Na Xinyu turned his head and disciplined me like a child.
I was completely crushed.
After a while, I asked Na Xinyu lightly: "You know everything." I knew it was going to happen, right? ”
Na Xinyu smiled faintly: "I made a bet with the Shooting Star Group." They lost, and I lost. What they lose is that they can't gamble again. And what I lost, what I lost was my whole life. We all lost at the hands of you nameless little scoundrel. ”
"Is there really a shooting star group in the world!?" I asked Na Xinyu with a surprised face.
Na Xinyu walked forward silently and did not answer my question.
"Well, even if there really is some bullshit shooting group in this world. Can you guarantee that if I go to Cannes, they won't trouble me again?" I asked Na Xinyu suspiciously.
"Yes. Get out of the city. I suddenly saw half a tear in the corner of Na Xinyu's eyes, and she still said to me so coldly: "And never see me again." They won't bother you anymore. It's also a clause in my bet with them. ”
I saw the tears in the corners of Xinyu's eyes, and I didn't know what to say for a while. In this way, the two of us walked side by side for a long time. I hesitated and asked her, "Maybe I shouldn't ask, what's your bet with them?"
Na Xinyu stopped, no longer moving forward, but pointed straight ahead, and said coldly to me, "The station has arrived." Let's go. ”
"Let's go?" I asked her a little hesitantly, "You mean, I'm leaving Star City right now." ”
"Do you still want to go back and say goodbye to your sister Yuting?" That Xinyu looked at me with a pair of cold eyes, stopped for a while, and said to me coldly: "Let's go, what I promise them is that you will leave the city immediately now." Never to come back. If you don't leave, I can't guarantee your safety. ”
"I ......" I wanted to say something, but my mind went blank, and I stood there for a few seconds, then turned around and walked towards the station without looking back.
After a while, I heard the Xinyu behind me shouting to me, "My bet with them is your integrity and kindness." ”
"What did you say?" I turned around and shouted, but I saw that Xinyu ran away without looking back.
The train rumbled forward, and my studies, my life, were ruined. My future is unknown.
Cannes, a city of the same size and prosperity as Star City. The people here love football, and even though their team is playing badly, it doesn't diminish their love and madness for football.
On this day, on the streets of Cannes, a wandering boy walked around, only to see him wearing dirty clothes that had not been changed for a long time, walking with a hanging, while buttoning his nostrils, while looking left and right, yes, this person is me. I've fled from Star City.
I'd better get a job first so I can settle down in the city, and as I walk, I look left and right. Suddenly, a small advertisement attached to a telephone pole caught my attention. Cannes City Centre laughs at physics recruiting for a lab administrator, this job is good and suitable for me. I was busy asking passers-by about the fact that the University of Cannesia was really not far away, and it was only a block away. When I entered the school gate and found the office of the physics department, I reported to my home, although I had not yet graduated as a graduate student, but it was not easy to apply for the position of laboratory administrator. What quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, theoretical mechanics, electrodynamics and this tube of application for the job in the vernacular, the tube application blinked and asked me: when can you go to work? This was the beginning of my life, and I became a laboratory administrator in the physics laboratory of Cannes Central University. I bought a simple marching bed in the market, and a homeless man didn't bother to rent a room, so he simply put the marching bed in the laboratory, watched the students do experiments during the day, and opened the marching bed to spend the night in the laboratory at night. When the head of the physics department heard that I was spending the night in the lab, he not only ignored me, but also said to me, "Yes, young man, yes, we need young people like you who make their workplace their home." I was surprised, how could a dignified head of the physics department have the heart to ask me about such a small laboratory administrator, but fortunately, he didn't let me throw away the camp bed, otherwise I would have to rent a room outside the school.
The days passed simply and uneventfully for more than a week. That night, as usual, I soaked a bag of instant noodles, ate a black light, and fell asleep on the marching bed alone. Suddenly, in a daze, I felt that someone was pushing the door, I wanted to estimate which student had left the homework book or something in the laboratory, anyway, the door was locked, and I didn't bother to open the door for the student, so I was still lying on the bed in a daze and wanted to push the door for a while, but the door couldn't be opened, and the student probably left.
I was lying in bed thinking, who would have thought that the door would be fucking open. I can't lie in bed anymore. I shouted, "Who!" and as soon as he turned over and sat up from the bed, it was so dark that I saw a figure turn around in the doorway and run. That's my first reaction, I pulled up my shoes, raised my legs and shouted after me. Then the figure ran a few steps in the corridor of the laboratory building, and suddenly jumped out of the laboratory building through the open window on the side of the corridor.
I trotted to the open window of the hallway, stuck my head out and looked downstairs on the sixth floor, where there was nothing to see in the dark bushes.
I walked back to the physics lab to check how the door opened, but I saw the iron bolt that inserted the door lock burst open the lock ring.
One night, my door was unlocked, and I stayed up until dawn.
